2.3.8.2 Details of Fugitive Emission

Sources of fugitive emissions will be from raw material storage area, handling of chemicals,

manufacturing process and from vehicle movement on internal road.

Raw materials will be stored in isolated storage area and containers will be kept tightly closed. To

minimize fugitive emission, powder material will be allowed in a vessel through closed loop while

liquid material will be charged through closed pipeline.

Manufacturing activity will be carried out in closed reactors / vessels and regular checking and

maintenance of the same will be carried out to avoid any leakages. Transportation of raw

materials & products will be carried out by trolley within premises and minimum manual material

handling will be carried, so the fugitive emission due to process activity and material handling will

be minimized.

To minimize fugitive emission due to vehicle movement, regular water sprinkling will be carried

out on road and paved road will be maintained.

2.3.9 Hazardous/Solid Waste Generation and It’s Management

Hazardous/Solid waste generated from the process, effluent treatment plant and other industrial

activity will be stored in a separate hazardous waste storage area and it will be disposed at

nearest TSDF site for further treatment and disposal. The municipal solid wastes generated during

operation phase will be disposed to bin of GIDC.

CHAPTER – 3 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

The baseline environmental qualities of various environmental components like air, noise, water,

land, flora and fauna and socioeconomic form important and integral part of EIA study. The

baseline data forms the basis for predicting/assessing the environmental impacts of the project.

Following the final TOR issued by SEIAA, the impact or study area has been considered to be the

area within radius of 10 km from the project site. The project site and study area map have been

shown in Figure No. 3.1;

Figure No. 3.1: Satellite Image of Study Area (10 Km Radius)

3.1 STUDY AREA

M/s. Blitzkrieg Organics & Biochemicals Industries is located at Plot No. 5067, GIDC Industrial

[3-2]

The baseline study was carried out in 10.0 km radius from the centre of the project site. The

demarcation of the impact boundary in study area from the project site can be viewed in the Figure No. 3.1.

3.2 COMPONENTS & METHODOLOGY OF BASELINE SURVEY The environmental status of the study area at 10.0 km radius zone around the project site has

been studied during the summer season from 01/03/2017 to 30/05/2017 and the details are given

in the following sub-sections:

Various environmental components were monitored and samples analyzed. Apart from this,

additional data were also collected from secondary sources i.e. Government/Non Government

Agencies, Indian Metrological Department (IMD) and Census Data.

3.2.1 Establishment of Baseline for Valued Environmental Components Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies need a significant amount of primary and

secondary baseline environmental data.

The primary baseline environmental data are those which need to be collected in the field to

define the status of environment (like air quality data, water quality data, noise quality etc.).

The secondary baseline environmental data are those data which have been collected over the

years and can be used to understand the existing environmental scenario of the study area by any

recognized agencies. (Such as Used IMD data for micrometeorological data rainfall, humidity and

Census data for Socio Economic etc.)

3.3 METHODOLOGY (1) Air Environment Monitoring Process:

[3-4]

Sample Collection

Physico - Chemical analysis of soil based on following methodology.

Methodology for Analysis: To understand the soil quality of the study area, analysis of all locations was conducted by making

suspension of soil sample and analysis were done by using standard method of soil analysis

(APHA).

The environmental impact assessment (EIA) studies are conducted over a short period of time and

therefore the understanding the environmental trends based on few months of primary data has its

own limitations. Ideally, the primary data has to be considered along with the secondary data for

complete understanding of the existing environmental status of the area.

3.4 CLIMATE & METEOROLOGY OF THE STUDY AREA

The micro meteorological conditions at the project site will regulate the transport and diffusion of air

pollutants released into the atmosphere. The principle meteorological variables are horizontal

convective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport (atmospheric

stability, mixing height) and topography of the area.

3.6 DETAILS OF BASELINE STUDY

3.6.1 AMBIENT AIR ENVIRONMENT

Ambient Air Quality: The basic objective of collection of base line data for air environment is to identify project specific

air pollutants being released into the atmosphere, which will have significant impact on air

environment of immediate vicinity of the project site. For assessment of the baseline data it is

important to specify the study area in respect of the location of the project. It was decided to study

ambient air quality at suitable different directions in the probable impact zone including the project

site.

The following criteria were also taken into account while designing the ambient air quality-

monitoring network:

1. Topography/Terrain of the study area

2. Populated areas within the region

2. Dominant wind direction.

3. Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their likely occurrence under prevailing

meteorological conditions

4. Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in downwind Direction 5. Representation of regional background

6. Availability of reliable power supply on a 24-hour basis

7. Even distribution of sampling locations in the study area

Reconnaissance survey was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air environment in the

study region. The prime objective of the NAAQ survey, within 10.0 km radial study area around the

plant was to establish the existing ambient air quality levels.

Location of AAQ Monitoring Stations:

The location of AAQ monitoring stations is shown in Figure No. 3.3 and details of these stations

are described in Table No. 3.3.

Parameters Monitored and Methods Used:

The Particulate Matter (PM10), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of

Nitrogen (NOx), HCl, HBr, VOC, CO were identified as significant parameters for ambient air

quality monitoring, particularly because these are likely to be emitted from the industry and for

which ambient air quality standards are prescribed.

At all sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HCl, HBr, VOC, CO were monitored during

baseline study period at a frequency of twice a week at each station adopting a 24-hours schedule

to enable the comparison with ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution

Control Board.

Results of Ambient Air Monitoring:

The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for different statistical

parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum concentration and

various percentile values.

Based on data obtained the statement showing maximum, minimum, average concentration, 98

percentile values of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HCl, HBr, VOC, CO at different monitoring locations

in the study area have been computed and presented at Table No. 3.4.


[3-20]

Observation Based on Monitoring Data:

Particulate Matter (PM10)

3.6.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and hearing and is intense

enough to damage hearing or is otherwise annoying. The definition of noise as unwanted sound

implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can also

disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.

To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was conducted using Sound

Level Meter at each location is shown in Figure No. 3.5. Table No. 3.5 gives details of the

sampling location.

Noise Monitoring Schedule: Ambient noise level monitoring was carried out during the study period at each location; noise

monitoring was conducted continuously over a period of twenty-four hours to obtain Leq values at

uniform time intervals of one hour. To understand the noise environment in the study area, a

survey was conducted using Sound Level Meter at each location. All measurements were carried

out when the wind speeds were approximately 1-2 m /sec and no unusual activities were being

carried out at the monitoring locations.

Results of Noise Monitoring: The average Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 42.89 to 59.31 dB

while the average Leq values of noise levels during night time (Ln) varied between 34.64 to 53.59

dB.

The one hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study area show considerable

fluctuations because of changes in traffic movement, commercial and residential activities in the

study area.

3.6.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Water environment is widely divided into two categories:

1. Surface water: river, drains, nala, canals, lakes, ponds etc.

2. Ground water: Accumulation in deeper strata of ground.

The baseline water quality status in the region is established by analyzing surface water and

ground water. Ground water samples and surface water samples were collected and analyzed for

drinking water quality parameters i.e. physico-chemical parameters and heavy metals.

Water Monitoring Schedule and Methodology:

The water quality of the study area was studied for ground water as well as surface water by

collecting the sample from selected location within the study area. The samples were collected &

analyzed as per the guidelines of CPCB.

The details of ground and surface water sampling locations are given in Table No. 3.7. The map

showing location of sampling points is shown at Figure No. 3.6. Grab samples were collected

once during the study period. Physico-chemical parameters have been analyzed to establish the

baseline status of the surface and ground water resources in the study area.

between 0.58 to 1.23 gm/cm3.

3.6.5 LAND USE PATTERN

It is known that land use of an area is controlled by the environment setting of an area. It is

constrained by the inherent characteristics of a terrain such as lithology, landform, soil, slope and

drainage. Any disturbance beyond a sustainable level affects the local environment which in turn

exerts influence on the existing landuse pattern. The pattern emerging from the landuse study

throws light on the demographic, socio-economic and prevailing condition of natural resources in


[3-34]

an area. Also, landuse data is requisite for water resources inventory, flood control and is used for

environmental impact assessment of an area.

Remote sensing satellite data would assist in obtaining such valuable and formidable information

with respect to landuse environment of an area. The synoptic view under uniform illumination and

its repetitive coverage allows employing RSI (remote sensing satellite image) to generate landuse

information of an area at a periodical interval. Change of both macro and micro-level (soil and

water condition) reflected by landuse induced by developmental activities could be mapped and

relevant mitigation measures could be implemented.

Remote sensing satellite data used for the study

In the present study, National remote sensing satellite data RS2 of LISS 4 - FMX,

Path:93/Row:57, acquired has been used. A landuse map showing 10 Km radial buffer with

project site is carried out. The geographical coordinates of the project site given is 21°36'51.75"N

to 21°36'52.62"N Latitude and 73° 2'11.32"E to 73° 2'12.99"E Longitude.

Using the image elements such as color, tone, texture, size, shape and associated elements

various landuse units are delineated following the categorization and nomenclature adopted for

the national level landuse classification system as recommended by National Remote Sensing

Centre (NRSC), Department of Space, Government of India. Some of the landuse units that are

identified in the study area are listed in Table given below.

Landuse pattern of 10 km radial buffer area

The general landuse pattern of the core and buffer may be broadly classified into four major types

– settlement & Industries, agriculture, wasteland and water bodies. In the settlement, villages,

town and infrastructure facilities are considered. The second category agriculture consists of crop

land, fallow land and plantation. Under the wasteland category, units such as and with scrub, land

without scrub, barren area is interpreted. Lastly, water bodies such as tanks, ponds, canal and

streams are interpreted under this category. These categories are delineated from the selected

satellite image using image elements such as color, tone, texture, size, shape and associated

elements. The delineated landuse units are transformed into a spatial database in GIS

environment. The map thus generated in GIS is estimated for area and representation of each

category in the study area. The total area of LULC in the study area is calculated as 315 sq.km

and spatial distribution of various LULC categories within buffer area are discussed below.

Figure No. 3.9: Landuse map of 10 Km radial buffer around Project Site


[3-38]

Built-up / Settlements Settlements in the study area are generally small to medium size in stature and area scattered.

Ankleshwar is the relatively larger settlements observed in the study area. Settlements such as

Kosamdi, Umarwada, Jitali, Andada delineated within the buffer area. The spatial extent of

settlement is estimated as 36.62 sq.km representing 11.63% of the study area and Industrial area

covers 19.91 sq.km with 6.32%.

Agricultural Land Under the broad category of agriculture crop land, fallow land and plantation is delineated.

Cultivation is mostly dependent upon canal water for irrigational activities are good. Ponds and

tanks in each village act as rainwater storage units and do support domestic requirement and

even cultivation to some extent.

Because of these conditions, minimal water requiring crops such as corn, sunflower, oil seeds,

grams, millets and coriander are cultivated. Cultivation is the most predominant crop cultivated

and even if it failed their stalks are used as fodder for cattle.

Wasteland The last category of the landuse units in the study area is “wasteland”, which denotes land parcels

that could not be utilized for cultivation even after conservation measures – such as land with

scrub, land without scrub and barren / stony area.


[3-39]

Land without scrub, on the other hand is interpreted using brown to white color, medium tone and

medium texture and is generally restricted around land covered with scrub and fallow land. They

occur as small patches and very minimal area covering 10.96 sq.km representing 3.48% of the

buffer area.

Water bodies Many small and big water bodies are seen in the study area distributed all over the study area.

Water bodies are the storage units for water act as rainwater harvesting structures & canal water.

They support the domestic water requirements and for cattle. At some places, they may also use

for irrigation purpose and are very limited. Few dry stream courses are also seen in the study

area. In the satellite image, water bodies are interpreted by their light blue to greyish blue color,

smooth tone and smooth texture.

Most of the water bodies retain water for a shorter period after precipitation due to the soil

constraint and hence go dry soon. Spatial extent of stream and water bodies is estimated at 7.56

sq.km and 2.4 percent. The Narmada River covers around 11.81 sq.km with 3.75% of 10 km

radius. The area of various landuse categories as derived from the satellite data within the buffer

area is given below:

Graphical Representation of Landuse Categories within 10 Km Buffer zone

Recommendations With the observations and inferences from the above detailed analysis using remote sensing

satellite data around 10 km area, the following recommendation may be made with respect to

monitoring landuse pattern in the project.

1. A periodical monitoring and updating of landuse pattern at an annual interval 10 Km area using

large resolution (LISS IV) satellite data.

2. Generation of landuse information using larger resolution (LISS IV) satellite to update extent of

changes within the landuse pattern.

Conclusion The study may be concluded with following observations and inferences from the analysis of

remote sensing satellite data.

1. The study area is predominantly covered by agricultural land – crop, current fallow and

plantation and dependent mostly upon the monsoon rainfall.

2. The digital analysis of the satellite data has helped to appreciate the intricacies of terrain

parameters in controlling landuse pattern of the study area.

3. Landuse pattern shows constraints in crop cultivation in term of land capability, soil and water

availability and mostly left as “fallow”.


[3-41]

4. Rainfed crops such as oil seeds, sunflower, ragi, maize, millets, grams, coriander and corn

are cultivated. The stalks of corn are used as fodder when crop failed due to paucity of

sufficient rainfall.

5. Most of the land parcels are kept as “fallow” and readied for cultivation during monsoon

periods – both southwest and northeast monsoon.

6. Interestingly, naturally growing thorny scrub, prosopis, is also cultivated in the field. It is used

as fuel wood and burnt to produce charcoal. This lead to the inference on the severe limitation

imposed on the cultivation practice.

3.6.6 TOPOGRAPHY

The overall topography of the site is flat with a gentle slope from southeast towards south east.

The overall topography of the area is marked by alluvial plains. The site elevation is about 16 to

17 meters. The topographical map of the project site is as shown in Figure No. 3.10.

3.6.7 DRAINAGE PATTERN

The site is falling within Ankleshwar in Gujarat. The study area is relatively flat with maximum

elevation of 110 m above mean sea level. Major areas within the 10 km from the site are relatively

flat having elevation less than 16-17 m. Hence, considering the lower extreme of elevation & flat

terrain, it has been decided to utilize SRTM data for generation of better drainage system of the

region.

The drainage pattern of 10 km study area has been captured up to fourth order from the satellite

images as well as SRTM sheet data and updated with the help of various secondary data sources

available.


[3-43]

The drainage pattern was studied using 5 m depression fill for stream threshold cell count of 500

on SRTM data, considering the relatively flat terrain as well as elevation extremes of the region.

The SRTM with 30 arc second resolution has been obtained from NASA WMS server and used for

creation of drainage pattern of the area. The drainage pattern generated has been superimposed

on the administrative map and has been presented as stream & river in Figure No. 3.11.

CHAPTER – 4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Impact assessment describes identification and appraisal of various impacts due to the

expansion of the project.

"Environmental Impact" can be defined as any alteration of environmental conditions or

creation of a new set of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced

by the action or set of actions under consideration.

4.2 IMPACT ASSESSMENT MATRIX

From the Table No. 4.1 significant impacts are identified. They are further elaborated with

characterization and assessment in Table No. 4.2.


[4-3]

4.3 OVERALL IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENT

The project is located within GIDC area. Unit is going for expansion of project by addition of

new products within existing premises. For expansion of project, construction activity will be

carried out.

The environment impact due to expansion of project will be evaluated considering the

following parameters;

Air Environment

Water Environment

Noise Environment

Land Environment

Biological Environment

Socio-Economic Environment

4.3.1 Impact on Air Environment

The impact on the air environment due to expansion of project during the construction and

operation phase is as mentioned below.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE: For expansion of project, construction activity will be carried out. During the construction phase,

there will be an increase in PM level along with NOX (from vehicle exhausts) due to

transportation of construction material at site. PM shall be raised due to civil construction,

handling of construction materials and increase in vehicular traffic. During the construction

activity the major impact on the air environment will be due to increase in the fugitive

emissions.

The adverse impact is expected to be negligible and temporary. To control the dust emission,

covered sheet (barricading) at periphery of boundary will be provided, regular water

sprinkling shall be done on road, and other unpaved areas. Covered shed will be provided for

cement unloading activity. Tarpaulin cover will be provided on excavated earth. Green-belt

development shall however have a significant positive impact.


[4-4]

OPERATION PHASE:

Discharge of air pollutants into ambient air can cause impact on surrounding area of air and

ecology. Due to proposed expansion project activities, it is expected to have short-term

impact on the air quality. At present, unit has installed Natural gas based one Steam Boiler

and one Thermic Fluid Heater. There is no process gas emission from existing process.

For expansion of project, unit will install one additional natural gas based Steam Boiler of

capacity 1000 kg/hr. Also unit has proposed two stand by D. G Sets of capacity 125 KVA

each which will be used in case of power failure or emergency only.

Natural gas is clean fuel and generating less pollution. As natural gas will be used as a fuel,

air pollution control system will be not proposed. Adequate stack height will be provided to

disperse air pollutants into ambient air effectively. HSD will be used as fuel in D. G Set.

After expansion, there shall be process gas emission. To control HCl & HBr gas emission,

Water scrubber followed by Alkali Scrubber will be installed as an air pollution control system.

To control SO2, NOx gas emission, two stage alkali scrubber will be installed as air pollution

control system.

The adequate stack height will disperse the pollutants, though in small quantity, effectively

and ensures that the ground level concentrations of pollutants in the surrounding environment

remain well within the permissible limits.

Air quality deteriorates for small period of time, during transportation, loading & unloading of

various materials etc. This impact will be negative in nature for prevailing ambient air quality

but it will last for short period of time and will remain confined within the plant premises.

Hence, no major adverse impact is predicted.


[4-5]

4.3.1.1 Assessment of Impacts on Air Quality Using Dispersion Model

Assessment of impacts on air quality is done by using Gaussian Dispersion Formula by

computer based dispersion models. In the present study, Lakes Environmental Software

“AERMOD View 8.2.0” has been used to find out the maximum ground level concentration of

pollutant.

The input values for model are shown below:

From the output of the “AERMOD View 8.2.0” dispersion model, the highest / maximum

ground level concentration can be worked out, which will indicate the incremental value in

that pollutant.

The Isopleths have been prepared using Lakes Environmental Software “AERMOD View

8.2.0”. The Isopleths of each of the pollutant is given below:

[4-11]

Base line study indicates that the ambient level of various pollutants like PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOX, CO, HCl, HBr is within the limits stipulated by National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ)

Standards, 2009 for notified Industrial, Residential, Rural and Other Areas. The adequate

height of the stack so provided will help in dispersing the pollutants emitted from the stacks

effectively into the atmosphere. As mentioned earlier, the company shall regularly monitor

the ambient air quality within and outside the factory, so as to assess the status of the air

environment.

Sources of fugitive emissions from the project activity are enumerated below:

Storage area of raw materials

Manufacturing process (Valves, Joints, Vents, Seals, etc.)

Vehicle movement on internal roads

To minimize fugitive emission, powder material will be allowed in a vessel through closed

loop while liquid material will be charged through pipeline.

Transportation of raw materials & products will be carried out by trolley within premises and

minimum manual material handling will be carried, so the fugitive emission due to process

activity and material handling will be minimized.

From the above, it can be concluded that after the expansion of project and implementation

of Environmental Management Planning in a proper manner, the Ambient Air Quality will not

exceed NAAQ Standards.


[4-12]

4.3.2 Impact on Water Environment

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

During the construction phase, water will be utilized for civil work and drinking water for

labours. The water will be procured from GIDC line. No ground water will be used for the

project.

Domestic wastewater generated during the construction phase will be disposed off through

soak pit / septic tank.

OPERATION PHASE:

At present, water required for domestic and industrial purpose is procured from GIDC water

supply line. After expansion, additional water required will be procured from GIDC water

supply line. No ground water will be used for the proposed project activity.

Domestic effluent will be disposed in to existing Septic tank / Soak pit system.

At present, there is no generation and discharge industrial wastewater. Unit is ZLD. After

expansion, Industrial effluent generated from process and other ancillary operation will be

allowed into in-house ETP for its primary treatment. After giving primary treatment it will be

forwarded to common MEE facility operated by BEIL, Ankleshwar.

There shall be no direct discharge of industrial effluent into ground or surface water or on

land. Hence, no impact on ground or surface water quality is envisaged due to expansion of

project. Based on above discussion, it can be concluded that there shall be no impact on

ground or surface water due to expansion of project.


[4-13]

4.3.3 Impact on Noise Environment

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

For expansion of project, construction activity will be carried out. Noise will be generated during

construction work, due to movement of vehicles, heavy equipment machinery.

As the construction phase will over, the noise level will come to its background concentration

without affecting much to the nearby human habitats. Thus, the impact on the noise

environment during the construction phase will be short term and temporary.

These impacts on noise environment cannot be eliminated but would be reduced. Plan to

curb noise likely to be generated from the use of construction equipments are as follows;

Machinery which creates highly noise will be avoided to use. Use of old age machineries

should be avoided.

The machinery used for construction will be of high standard of reputed make and will

adhere to International standards.

Lubrication will be carried-out periodically for rotational machinery.

Apart from this, the construction activities will be restricted to daytime only.

Ear Plug will be provided to those working near high noisy machinery mixer / vibrator

machine.

Most of the noise generated in this phase would be spread throughout the site depending

upon equipment operation at a location. Impact on onsite workers are expected to be

highest but can be reduced substantially with use of PPE like earplugs and earmuffs.

Acoustic enclosure will be provided to the machinery generating high noise.

It can be concluded that due to various construction activities, there will be short term noise

impacts in the immediate vicinity of the project site.

OPERATION PHASE:

The impact on noise environment due to project activity will be from manufacturing area,

utility operation and transportation. During installation of new machineries& equipment, noise

will generate which will be short term impact. Noise will generate during manufacturing

activity which will be long term impact.


[4-14]

Noise generation associated with vehicular movement within the plant premises will increase

ambient noise level for shorter period of time and the negative impact generated due to this

will get reversed with the passage of time.

To prevent noise pollution, ear-protecting devices will be provided to personnel working in

high noise generating zones. Anti-vibrating pads and acoustic enclosure shall be provided to

the D.G set.

4.3.4 Impact on Land/Soil Environment

pattern of surrounding area will not change.

OPERATION PHASE:

Improper storage and handling of raw materials, hazardous waste can cause soil

contamination.

Unit will provide scientifically designed hazardous waste storage area having impervious

floor, leachate collection system and roof coverto avoid soil contamination. Hazardous waste

generated from unit will be sent to TSDF site through authorized vehicle of TSDF site having

GPS.


[4-17]

4.3.5 Impact on Biological Environment

Project site is located within GIDC area. No loss of flora & fauna is envisaged during any

phase. There will be development of additional green belt area within & at the periphery of

the plot area. There is no any Reserved Forest, National Park and Protected Sanctuaries

within the study area. No endangered species of flora & fauna are observed or recorded in

the study area.

There will not be any direct discharge of effluent into any water body. Hence, there will not be

any impact on aquatic ecology of the surrounding study area.

Air emissions generated, due to proposed project activity will be always kept within the

prescribed standards and therefore no significant impact on terrestrial ecology is envisaged.

Green belt development within the project premises will lead to reversing the various

negative impacts associated with plant operation as well as it can also help to develop

terrestrial and avian ecology with positive effect in the long term.

4.3.6 Socio Economic Impact

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

For expansion of project, construction activity will be carried out. Local workers will be

employed for construction work. Construction material required will be purchased from local

[10-1]

CHAPTER–10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 INTRODUCTION

An Environmental Management Plan shall be formulated for mitigation of the adverse

impacts and is based on the present environmental conditions and the environmental

impact appraisal. This plan helps in formulation, implementation and monitoring the

environmental parameters during and after commissioning of the project.

The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management's plan for

proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for liquid and air

pollutants and for maintaining the environment. It also includes the development of green

belts around the plant, proper safety of the workers, noise control, fire protection systems

and measures.

10.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PRACTICES

The environmental management practices for mitigation of various impacts associated

with the project activity on different environmental components are as described below:

10.2.1 Air Environment

For expansion of project, construction activity will be carried out. During the construction

phase, the impact on ambient air would mainly be due to dust emissions and movement of

vehicles. However, these impacts would be short term in nature and limited to the

construction period only.

During operation phase, the main point source in the unit will be flue gas emission from

the stack attached to Boiler. Natural gas will be used as a fuel. As natural gas will be used

as a fuel, air pollution control system will be not proposed. Adequate stack height will be

provided to disperse air pollutants into ambient air effectively.

Unit has proposed two stand by D. G Sets of capacity 125 KVA each will be installed

which will be used in case of power failure or emergency only.


[10-2]

At present, there is no process gas emission. After expansion, there shall be process gas

emission. Also there shall be fugitive emission from raw material storage area, process

area and vehicular emission due to transportation of material.

To minimize and control the air emissions during construction & operation phase, the

following measures have been proposed by industry;

During the construction phase, there will be generation of dust, which will be controlled

by sprinkling of water. Excavated earth will be stored at identified place and sprinkling

of water should be done regularly.

To minimize vehicular emission due to transportation of materials, regular water

sprinkling will be carried out on road and paved road will be maintained. As Natural Gas will be used as fuel in Boiler, the emission will be well within stipulated

norms and there shall be no need of Air Pollution Control System. Adequate stack

height will be provided for proper dispersion of pollutant gases.

Unit has provided adequate stack monitoring facilities for the periodic monitoring of the

stack to verify the compliance of the stipulated norms.

To control HCl & HBr gas emission, water scrubber followed by alkali scrubber will be

installed as air pollution control system. To control SO2 & NOx gas emission, two stage

alkali scrubber will be installed as air pollution control system.

Transportation of raw materials & products will be carried out by trolley within

premises and minimum manual material handling will be carried.

10.2.1.1 FUGITIVE EMISSION

Fugitive emissions in the form of material dust are expected during different operations like

loading, unloading, handling of chemicals, chemical additives.

Volatile chemicals are stored at the site. Fugitive emissions may originate from these, if

not capped properly or not handled with due care.


[10-3]

However, such emissions will not disperse widely and can only affect workers health at

site.

Fugitive emissions are unintentional release of process fluid from equipment. Any

equipment that allows contact between process fluid and air (e.g. Pumps, valves, and

flanges) is a source of fugitive emissions.

The predicted source of fugitive emission will be from storage tanks and unloading lines.

ACTION PLAN TO CONTROL AND MONITOR SECONDARY FUGITIVE EMISSIONS (VOCs) FROM ALL THE SOURCES

To mitigate fugitive emissions, the following steps would be taken:

→ Airborne dust at all transfers operations / points will be controlled either by spraying

water or providing enclosures.

→ Pucca road will be provided to avoid dusting. → Regular maintenance of valves, pumps, flanges, joints and other equipment will be

done to prevent leakages and thus minimizing the fugitive emissions of VOCs.

Ensure minimum number of flanges, joints and valves in pipelines.

→ Entire process will be carried out in the closed reactors with proper maintenance of

pressure and temperature.

→ Selection / use of state-of-the art leak proof valves, pump seals and flange gaskets

will be made to eliminate or minimize fugitive emissions.


[10-5]

At present, water required for domestic and industrial purpose is procured from GIDC

water supply line. Additional water required for expansion of project will be also procured

from GIDC. No ground water will be used for the proposed project activity.

At present, there is no generation and discharge industrial wastewater. After expansion,

Industrial effluent generated from process and other ancillary operation will be allowed into

in-house ETP for its primary treatment. After giving primary treatment it will be forwarded

to common MEE facility operated by BEIL, Ankleshwar.

The mitigation measures for minimizing the impacts on water environment during

operation phase in general includes following:

Records of water consumption, water characteristics shall be maintained.

Ensuring proper operation and maintenance schedule for the ETP.

Flow meter shall be installed at inlet and outlet of ETP.

Enough care shall be taken to prevent any leakages /accidental spillages from ETP

units in order to avoid any ground water contamination.

Wastewater drainage line leading to ETP area will be completely closed and its joints

should be routinely checked for any leakage.

The reuse of water will be maximized to the extent possible.

The regular environment monitoring shall be done either through established laboratory

or in-house.

10.2.3 Noise Environment

For expansion of project, construction activity will be carried out. Noise will be generated

during construction work, due to movement of vehicles, heavy equipment machinery.

These impacts would be short term in nature and limited to the construction period only.

During operation phase, the main source of noise within the plant area will be from

manufacturing activity, utility operation and transportation etc. Noise will generate during

manufacturing activity which will be long term impact.


[10-6]

To minimize the noise pollution during construction & operation phase, unit has proposed

the following noise control measures:

Machinery which creates highly noise will be avoided to use. Use of old age

machineries will be avoided.

Construction activities will be restricted to daytime only.

Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried out for the

machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.

Employees will be provided with ear protection measures like earplugs or earmuffs.

Care should be taken during selection of the equipment like pumps and other

machinery so that noise generation will be reduced.

Areas with high noise levels will be identified and segregated where possible and will

include prominently displayed caution boards.

10.2.4 Land / Soil Environment

The project is located within GIDC. For expansion of project, construction activity will be

carried out. GIDC has already developed road, storm drain in this area. Due to availability

of all other physical infrastructures, the topography of land and land use pattern of

surrounding area will not change.


contamination. During operation phase, there shall be no direct discharge of industrial

effluent into ground or surface water or on land.

Following are the measures to minimize impacts on land environment;


[10-7]

Unit will provide scientifically designed hazardous waste storage area having

impervious floor, leachate collection system and roof cover to avoid soil contamination.

Unit will provide pucca RCC flooring at production, raw material & finished product

storage area to avoid soil contamination during handling and spillages. Also there shall

be no longer distance between raw material storage area and production area.

Liquid hazardous waste will be packed in drum/carba while solid hazardous waste will

be packed in PP bags and stored in HWSA.

Hazardous waste generated from unit will be sent to TSDF site through authorized

vehicle of TSDF site having GPS.

Unit will also maintain the records for the hazardous waste storage and disposal.

10.2.5 Biological Environment Project site is located within GIDC area. No loss of flora & fauna is envisaged during any

phase. There will be development of additional green belt area within the premises and at

the periphery of the plot area. There is no any Reserved Forest, National Park and

Protected Sanctuaries within the study area. No endangered species of flora & fauna are

observed or recorded in the study area.

There will not be any direct discharge of effluent into any water body. Hence, there will not

be any impact on aquatic ecology of the surrounding study area.


prescribed standards and therefore no significant impact on terrestrial ecology is

envisaged.

Green belt development within the project premises will lead to reversing the various

negative impacts associated with plant operation as well as it can also help to develop

terrestrial and avian ecology with positive effect in the long term.


[10-8]

10.2.6 Socio Economic Environment

For proposed project, construction activity will be carried out and local workers will be

employed for construction work. Thus, during construction phase there shall be short term

positive impact on the socio-economic environment on surrounding area.

Due to proposed project, employment generation will increase for skilled, semi skilled and

unskilled workers. It is expected that direct and indirect employment will increase for

people who reside nearby project area.

Thus, overall impact due to this industrial development along with employment potential

poses long-term positive impact on the socio-economic environment on surrounding area

as it provides benefits in terms of economics to the people employed with it.

10.3 RESOURCE CONSERVATION / WASTE MINIMIZATION

Unit shall implement the concept of waste minimization. Good Housekeeping practice

makes the system easier and less costly. Cleaner production technology shall be adopted

for the resource conservation and pollution control.

All the processes and reacting equipments have the double magnetic / mechanical

seals and therefore there is no leakage during the reactions.

The process are designed in such a way that the solvents used in the manufacturing

processes are distilled, recovered and purified and reused in the process to reduce the

Raw material consumption and conserve the natural resources.


[10-9]

All the reactors have the facility of primary and secondary condenser attached with it

which decreases the handling loss of solvents and reduction of raw materials

consumption.

The steam condensate collected and recycled in the boiler with the conservation of

water and energy.

Hazardous waste generated having high calorific value sent for co-processing.

Unit will provide solar lighting at open and garden area.

LED lights are utilized.

10.4 ODOUR CONTROL PLAN

Following common practices shall be followed to control odour from plant; Adequate Ventilation is provided in plant.

Exhaust fan provided for air circulation and odour dilution.

Closed material handling system shall be provided for chemicals & solvents.

Green belt development will be carried out within plant premises.

Proper operation & maintenance of ETP shall be carried out.

Regular disposal of ETP sludge shall be carried out.

10.5 PLANS FOR MANAGEMENT, COLLECTION & DISPOSAL OF WASTE STREAMS TO BE GENERATED FROM SPILLAGE, LEAKAGES, VESSEL WASHING ETC.

Proper collection system will be provided for the leakage & spillage of hazardous

chemical by preparing dyke wall & acid proof RCC flooring with spillage collection

tank.

Wastewater generated from vessel/used container washing will be collected and

treated into ETP.


[10-10]

Spillages material if any, shall be collected with contaminated soil and stored into

HWSA.

Proper care should be taken by employees to control spillage and wastage of

materials.

10.6 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Development of green belt is not only minimizes these impacts but also improves the

aesthetic environment of the region and providing possible habitats of birds and animals.

Therefore, Green belt development plan has been proposed within the project area. It

provides an important tool to address the issue of mitigating the adverse effect of industrial

project.

At present, approx. 24.0 m2 (2.10 %) area is developed as greenbelt within plant premises.


Therefore, after expansion total greenbelt area will be approx. 114.0 m2 (10.10 %). %). To comply with provision of 40% of green belt area, unit will develop 30% of greenbelt area in surrounding villages.

Design of Green Belt:

Source & Receptor oriented approaches are recognized while designing the green belts.

Both these approaches have their own advantages and disadvantages. The second

approach is desirable in urban – industrial complexes with multiple sources of pollution in

an industrial-urban mix.

Selection of plant species would be done on the basis of their adaptability to the existing

geographical condition. Doing development of the green belt within the project area, it has

to be emphasized that those native plant species would be planted which are having good


[10-12]

The management needs to ensure that the Health and Safety Plan (HSP) along with the

Plant Health and Safety Rules is established and enforced.

11.3 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

To predict the impact of the proposed activities on the surrounding environment, the existing

baseline environmental status was studied by collecting the data in area of 10.0 km radius

from the center of the unit and carried out monitoring for the period from 01/03/2017 to 30/05/2017 (Summer season).

The environmental quality has been analyzed with respect to ambient air quality, water quality,

noise levels, soil characteristics, flora & fauna and parameters concerning human interest.

Based on the data, the relevant impacts on various environmental components were also

predicted by using appropriate mathematical models as well as impact assessment

techniques. An appropriate environmental management plan was also delineated to minimize

the adverse impacts.

11.3.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at eight locations, with a frequency of twice

a week, to assess the existing air quality status during the period from 01/03/2017 to 30/05/2017.

At all sampling locations: PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HCl, HBr, VOC, CO were monitored on 24 –

hourly basis to enable the comparison with ambient air quality standards prescribed by the

Central Pollution Control Board.

The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for different statistical

parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum and maximum concentration

and various percentile values.

Particulate Matter (PM10) The maximum value of PM10 observed near project site was 91.30 μg/m3 and lowest

concentration observed at Jitali village was 57.70 μg/m3 during the study period. The average

concentration of PM10 varied from 68.83 μg/m3 to 83.20 μg/m3 at all monitoring locations during

the study period, which is well below the permissible limit of 100 μg/m3.


[11-12]

Particulate Matter (PM2.5) The maximum value of PM2.5 observed near project site was 45.10 μg/m3 and lowest was

17.60 μg/m3 at Uchhali village. The average concentration of PM2.5 varied from 21.57 μg/m3 to

39.90 μg/m3. At all the locations, the concentration of PM2.5 was observed within the

permissible limit of 60 μg/m3.

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) The highest concentration of SO2 was observed 23.50 μg/m3 at Sardarpura and lowest

concentration was 11.00 μg/m3 at Kosamdi village. The average concentration of SO2 varied

from 14.19 μg/m3 to 20.50 μg/m3. At all the locations, the concentration of SO2 was within the


Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Highest concentration of NOx observed was 27.80 μg/m3 at Kosamdi village & lowest

concentration was 12.30 μg/m3 at Sardarpura. The average concentration of NOX varied from

17.59 μg/m3 to 23.67 μg/m3. At all the locations, the concentration of NOX was within the


Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Highest concentration of CO observed was 308 μg/m3 at Gujarat Housing Board & lowest

concentration was 212 μg/m3 at Sardarpura. The average concentration of CO varied from

217.62 μg/m3 to 302.42 μg/m3. At all the locations, the concentration of CO was within the

permissible limit of 2000 μg/m3.

Conclusion: On perusal of the results, it can be concluded that the concentration of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx,

HCl, HBr, VOC, CO is below the CPCB permissible limits / NAAQ standards, 2009.

11.3.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Ground water samples from 05 locations and surface water samples from 04 locations were

collected and analyzed for drinking water quality parameters.


[11-13]

Ground Water Quality: Out of the five ground water locations of the study area, maximum TDS recorded was 1789

mg/L in sample collected from Umarwada while minimum TDS was 1290 mg/L in sample

collected from Kapodra. Maximum hardness recorded was 756 mg/L from Jitali sample while

found minimum hardness 453 mg/L from Umarwada sample.

Surface Water Quality: Four surface water samples were collected from the near vicinity of project site. Maximum TDS

recorded was 542 mg/L from sample of Canal water near Umarwada while minimum TDS was

259 mg/L found in sample from Narmada River. Maximum value of chloride was detected from

Canal water near Umarwada.

Conclusion on Water Quality:

Analysis of ground water samples shows that TDS is higher than the desirable limit but within

the permissible limit specified by IS:10500. Hardness is higher than the desirable limit but at

one location higher than the permissible limit. Chloride is marginally higher than the desirable

limit at one location.

Analysis of surface water samples shows that Turbidity and TDS in canal water is higher than

the desirable limit but within the permissible limit specified by IS:10500. Total coliform is higher

than the permissible limit at all locations.

11.3.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Ambient noise level monitoring was carried out during the study period at 07 locations; noise

monitoring was conducted continuously over a period of twenty-four hours to obtain Leq values

at uniform time intervals of one hour.

The average Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 42.89 to 59.31 dB

while the average Leq values of noise levels during night time (Ln) varied between 34.64 to

53.59 dB.

Conclusion: Noise levels of study area are compared with the noise level standards and the comparison

shows that noise levels are well within the limits.


[11-14]

11.3.4 SOIL ENVIRONMENT

Soil samples were collected from 05 different locations during the study period in the study

area. Samples collected from identified locations show that pH of soil in the study area ranging

from 7.56 to 8.10. Water Holding Capacity of soil samples of the study area ranges between

61% to 77%. Porosity of soil samples of the study area ranges from 21% to 32%. Bulk density

ranges between 0.58 to 1.23 gm/cm3.

11.4 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

11.4.1 Air Environment

The impact on the air environment due to expansion of project during the construction and

operation phase is as mentioned below.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE: For expansion of project, some construction activity will be carried out. During the construction

phase, there will be an increase in PM level along with NOX (from vehicle exhausts) due to

transportation of construction material at site.

To control the dust emission, covered sheet (barricading) at periphery of boundary will be

provided, regular water sprinkling shall be done on road, and other unpaved areas. Covered

shed will be provided for cement unloading activity. Tarpaulin cover will be provided on

excavated earth.

OPERATION PHASE:

Discharge of air pollutants into ambient air can cause impact on surrounding area of air and

ecology. Due to proposed expansion project activities, it is expected to have short-term impact

on the air quality. At present, unit has installed Natural gas based one Steam Boiler and one

Thermic Fluid Heater. There is no process gas emission from existing process.

For expansion of project, unit will install one additional natural gas based Steam Boiler of

capacity 1000 kg/hr. Also unit has proposed two stand by D. G Sets of capacity 125 KVA each

which will be used in case of power failure or emergency only.


[11-15]

Natural gas is clean fuel and generating less pollution. As natural gas will be used as a fuel, air

pollution control system will be not proposed. Adequate stack height will be provided to

disperse air pollutants into ambient air effectively. HSD will be used as fuel in D. G Set.

After expansion, there shall be process gas emission. To control HCl & HBr gas emission,

Water scrubber followed by Alkali Scrubber will be installed as an air pollution control system.

To control SO2, NOx gas emission, two stage alkali scrubber will be installed as air pollution

control system.

Air quality deteriorates for small period of time, during transportation, loading & unloading of

various materials etc. This impact will be negative in nature for prevailing ambient air quality

but it will last for short period of time and will remain confined within the plant premises. Hence,

no major adverse impact is predicted.

11.4.2 Water Environment

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

During the construction phase, water will be utilized for civil work and drinking water for

labours. The water will be procured from GIDC line. No ground water will be used for the

project. Domestic wastewater generated during the construction phase will be disposed off

through soak pit / septic tank.

Therefore, it can be concluded that during construction phase there shall be negligible adverse

impact on water environment.


[11-16]

OPERATION PHASE: At present, water required for domestic and industrial purpose is procured from GIDC water

supply line. After expansion, additional water required will be procured from GIDC water supply

line. No ground water will be used for the proposed project activity.

Domestic effluent will be disposed in to existing Septic tank / Soak pit system.

At present, there is no generation and discharge industrial wastewater. Unit is ZLD. After

expansion, Industrial effluent generated from process and other ancillary operation will be

allowed into in-house ETP for its primary treatment. After giving primary treatment it will be


There shall be no direct discharge of industrial effluent into ground or surface water or on land.

Hence, no impact on ground or surface water quality is envisaged due to expansion of project.

Based on above discussion, it can be concluded that there shall be no impact on ground or

surface water due to expansion of project.

11.4.3 Noise Environment

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

For expansion of project, construction activity will be carried out. Noise will be generated during

construction work, due to movement of vehicles, heavy equipment machinery.

As the construction phase will over, the noise level will come to its background concentration

without affecting much to the nearby human habitats. Thus, the impact on the noise

environment during the construction phase will be short term and temporary.

These impacts on noise environment cannot be eliminated but would be reduced. Plan to curb

noise likely to be generated from the use of construction equipments are as follows;

Machinery which creates highly noise will be avoided to use. Use of old age machineries

should be avoided.


[11-17]

The machinery used for construction will be of high standard of reputed make and will

adhere to International standards.

Lubrication will be carried-out periodically for rotational machinery.

Apart from this, the construction activities will be restricted to daytime only.

Ear Plug will be provided to those working near high noisy machinery mixer / vibrator

machine.

Most of the noise generated in this phase would be spread throughout the site depending

upon equipment operation at a location. Impact on onsite workers are expected to be

highest but can be reduced substantially with use of PPE like earplugs and earmuffs.

Acoustic enclosure will be provided to the machinery generating high noise.

It can be concluded that due to various construction activities, there will be short term noise

impacts in the immediate vicinity of the project site.

OPERATION PHASE:

The impact on noise environment due to project activity will be from manufacturing area, utility

operation and transportation. During installation of new machineries & equipment, noise will

generate which will be short term impact. Noise will generate during manufacturing activity

which will be long term impact.

Noise generation associated with vehicular movement within the plant premises will increase

ambient noise level for shorter period of time and the negative impact generated due to this will

get reversed with the passage of time.

To prevent noise pollution, ear-protecting devices will be provided to personnel working in high

noise generating zones. Anti-vibrating pads and acoustic enclosure shall be provided to the

D.G set.

Additional tree plantation will be carried out at the periphery of project boundary to prevent

noise pollution in surrounding area.


[11-18]

11.4.4 Land/Soil Environment

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

The unit is located in GIDC area. For proposed project, construction activity will be carried out.

Also there will be installation of new machineries & equipments. GIDC has already developed

road, storm drain in this area. No alternate route/drain required for this project.

Due to availability of all other physical infrastructures, the topography of land and land use

pattern of surrounding area will not change.

OPERATION PHASE:


contamination.

Unit will provide scientifically designed hazardous waste storage area having impervious floor,

leachate collection system and roof cover to avoid soil contamination. Hazardous waste

generated from unit will be sent to TSDF site through authorized vehicle of TSDF site having

GPS.

There will be no longer distance between raw material storage area and production area. Unit

will provide pucca RCC flooring at production, raw material & finished product storage area to

avoid contamination of soil during handling & spillages.

There shall be no direct discharge of industrial effluent into ground or surface water or on land.

Wastewater drainage line leading to ETP area will be completely closed. Regular checking of

leakage shall be carried out to avoid any penetration into soil.

Therefore, it can be concluded that there shall be negligible impact on land environment.

11.4.5 Biological Environment

Project site is located within GIDC area. No loss of flora & fauna is envisaged during any

phase. There will be development of additional green belt area within & at the periphery of the

plot area. There is no any Reserved Forest, National Park and Protected Sanctuaries within

the study area. No endangered species of flora & fauna are observed or recorded in the study

area.


[11-19]

There will not be any direct discharge of effluent into any water body. Hence, there will not be

any impact on aquatic ecology of the surrounding study area.


prescribed standards and therefore no significant impact on terrestrial ecology is envisaged.

Green belt development within the project premises will lead to reversing the various negative

impacts associated with plant operation as well as it can also help to develop terrestrial and

avian ecology with positive effect in the long term.

11.4.6 Socio Economic Environment

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

For proposed project, construction activity will be carried out. Local workers will be employed for

construction work. Construction material required will be purchased from local vendors.

Thus, during construction phase there shall be short-term positive impact on the socio-

economic environment on surrounding area as it provides benefits in terms of economics to

the people employed with it.

OPERATION PHASE:

Due to proposed project, employment generation will increase for skilled, semi skilled and

unskilled workers. For expansion of project, there shall be requirement of approx. 45 new

employees (42 Male + 03 Female).

Priority will be given to local people for employment. The local surrounding people will get

maximum benefit of this project due to their reduction of travelling cost & time. Moreover, it will

result into the improvement in the economy of the local vendors.

Due to proposed project, it will be also beneficial to its downstream supplier industries to boost

their activity as well as beneficial to surrounding service provider units.


[11-20]

Thus, overall impact due to this industrial development along with employment potential poses

long-term positive impact on the socio-economic environment on surrounding area as it

provides benefits in terms of economics to the people employed with it.
