Figure 2: Study Area Map

Table 5: Summary of Baseline Data

S. No. Parameters Baseline Status

1. Ambient Air Quality

i. PM10 59.1 – 86.2 µg/m3

ii. PM2.5 32.1 – 48.8 µg/m3

iii. SO2 10.4 – 16.7 µg/m3

iv. NOx 15.8 - 25.1 µg/m3

Based on comparison study of results for tested parameters with NAAQS, it is interpreted that

ambient air quality of studied locations is good as all the results of studied parameter are well

within the limit. This interpretation relate to the test data obtained during survey for particular

locations only. There is very less no. of industry and numbers of investors have planned to install

the industries, considering the probable impact due to upcoming industries, it is suggested that

proper air pollution control measures must be adopted by the industry.

2. Noise Level Monitoring

i. Day Time (06:00 AM to 10:00 PM) 44.6 – 81.2 dB (A)

ii. Night Time (10:00 PM to 06:00 AM) 39.7-76.4 dB (A)

Based on noise level data obtained during the survey for residential area and industrial area, it is

interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking

towards the increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise




reducing devices at noise generating sources and generate public awareness.

3. Soil Quality and Characteristics

i. pH 7.54 – 7.80

ii. Organic Carbon (%) 0.2 – 0.5%

iii. Total Nitrogen 386.2 – 965.5 kg/ha

iv. Total Phosphorous 241.9- 387.6 kg/ha

v. Exchangeable Calcium 24.8 – 27.4 mg/100g

vi. Exchangeable Magnesium 5.3 – 8.8 mg/100g

Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal to saline from salinity view point

and non-sodic as ESP is < 15 at the site. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in

phosphorus and high in potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the safe

limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic manure (50

tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N, and P and half the dose of K

fertilizers should be applied. The soil at the project site requires amelioration. Apply acid forming

amendments like sulphur/iron pyrite for removal of excess sodium from the exchange complex

with provision of adequate drainage. The soil should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and

ESP.

4. Ground Water

i. pH 7.10 - 7.82

ii. TDS 1012 – 4718 mg/L

iii. Total Hardness 312 – 1355 mg/L

iv. Total Alkalinity 358 – 755 mg/L

v. Chloride 385 – 2399 mg/L

vi. Total Coliform Absent

Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that water

qualities of studied locations meet with the drinking water standards as per IS 10500: 2012

except Vilayat and Ankot village and these water sources can be used in drinking, washing,

bathing and irrigation purpose. Total Hardness and Chloride in the water sample for Vilayat and

Ankot village do not confirm the norms. Water sample of Vilayat and Ankot village should not be

used in drinking but it can be used in all other domestic purposes. These interpretations relate to

the sample tested for particular location only. To save the ground water from contamination and

improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.

5. Surface Water

i. pH 7.01 - 7.94

ii. TDS 262 – 962 mg/L

iii. TSS 6 – 12 mg/L

iv. DO 4.6– 5.0 mg/L

v. BOD 4 – 8 mg/L

Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not

meet with drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been

found more than expected value which indicates that water has been contaminated with organic

matter. It may be due to directly or indirectly contamination with sewage and effluent. This water

should not be directly used in drinking purpose but it can be used in drinking after conventional

treatment followed by disinfection. This water can be used in irrigation and other domestic

purposes.

6. Ecology and Biodiversity




The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were Cattle Egret, Intermediate Egret,

Black-winged Stilt, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Spotted Dove,

Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Bank Myna and Common Myna. All the birds are included in

schedule IV. Among the reptiles Oriental garden lizard was common. Among mammals Black rat

was common. There is a good population of schedule-II species like Herpestes edwardsi (Indian

grey mongoose) and Naja naja (Indian cobra) as food chain is interlinked in the biological

environment. Dominant flora of the study region is Prosopis juliflora and acacia species. Area is

not rich with floral diversity. Rosa (Rose), Gossypium (Cotton) and Cajanus cajan (Tur) are

majorly cultivated by the farmers of the majority villages. Natural vegetation of study area is in

degraded condition and wild mammal’s density is also very low. No endangered or threatened

species were observed during the survey.

7. Socio Economic

Literacy rate of the study region is from 57.04% to 82.55%. On the basis of survey for literacy

rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote educate more and more people. Almost all

the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers.

4. ANTICIPATED IMPACTS ASSESMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES

Impacts on land environment, air environment, water environment, noise environment, biological environment, socioeconomic environment and risk and hazard is been introduced in the chapter with their mitigation measures for both during construction as well as operation phase.

Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters without mitigation measures is - 92 which is adverse impact during construction phase. Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters with mitigation measures is +11 during construction phase which is not appreciable beneficial impact.

Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters without mitigation measures is -84 during Operation phase which is adverse impact. Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters with mitigation measure is +48 not appreciable beneficial impact during operation phase. Air modeling study is also been introduced in the chapter showing maximum and minimum GLC in the surrounding areas. Stock Yard will be provided for storage of raw materials and products. Proper upkeep and maintenance of vehicles and APCM will reduce the impact on air environment. Unit will developed more than 33% of greenbelt within the premises.

A budget of Rs. 1.50 Crores as capital for EMP will be allotted. Positive impact is envisaged on Socio economic environment. Proper PPEs will be provided to all the workers. From the impact matrix table, it is observed that without mitigation measures the scoring of construction phase is -48. After taking adequate mitigation measures impact reduces to +49, which is a not an appreciable adverse impact. It can be concluded that the overall negative impacts from various activities on different environmental parameters is negligible with proper EMP in place.

5. RISK ASSESSMENT A detailed Risk Assessment (RA) study was carried out for the proposed project. Kisan Shakti Fertilizers & Pesticides Pvt. Ltd. has prepared the Disaster Management Plan (onsite/offsite emergency plan) as a part of additional study.

The Person should not go near the spill unless he is wearing a proper PPE and has been fully trained to handle the acid leaks

Offsite Disaster Management Plan In the effects of the accident or disaster inside the plant is felt outside its premises, it calls for an off-site emergency plan, which would prepared and documented in advance in consultation with the district authorities. The off-site emergency plan prepared herein will deal with those incidents identified under Level – 3 in the on-site plan, which have the potential to harm persons or the environment outside the boundary of the factory premises. The most significant risk to outside areas is that associated with a large release of Furnace oil. Spread of its effected outside the works may require traffic control, evacuation, shelter arrangement. Off-site emergency plan has been drawn up with a view to mobilize resources and integrate with district contingency plan for an effective system of command and control in combating the emergency. Thus in brief the two main purpose of the off-site emergency plan are:

To provide the local / district authorities, police, fire brigade, doctors, surrounding industries and the public, the basic information of risk and environment impact assessment and to appraise them of the consequences and the protection prevention measures and control plans and to seek their help to communicate with the public in case of major emergency

To assist the district authorities for preparing the off-site emergency plan for the district or particulate area and to organize rehearsal from time to time and initial corrective action based on the lesson learnt.

6. BENEFITS TO SOCIETY FROM THE PROJECT

The project activity and the management will support the local villagers and provide other forms of assistance for the development of public amenities in this region. The management will recruit skilled and unskilled workers from the nearby villages. Local construction workers will be employed from surrounding area during this phase. It is estimated that 125 – 150 Nos. of Local workers (skilled and semiskilled) will get direct employment during construction phase. It is estimated that 154 Nos. technical people will get direct and other contractor worker will get indirect employment during operation phase. Kisan Shakti Fertilizers & Pesticides Pvt. Ltd. has allotted Rs. 0.95 Crore for Enterprise Social Commitment (ESC) for next 5 years. Housing facilities, transportation, medical, educational and other civic amenities will get a boost in future. This is envisaged as a major positive benefit to this area.

8. CONCLUSION The proponent has selected Industrial Estate Saykha in Tal. Vagra Dist.- Bharuch (GJ) for set up of proposed Fertilizer manufacturing unit and would not have any considerable impact on environment with efficient mitigation measures implemented. The waste generation in form of gas (flue and process), effluent and solid waste may have impacts on environmental parameters but the proponent has planned and installed most efficient technologies for prevention of emission and treatment of effluent. Further, the solid/hazardous waste will be disposed-off separately. Hence there would not be any considerable impacts on environment. With the implementation of the mitigation measures and EMP, the proposed project activities will have positive beneficial effect on the local population, economic output and other related facilities viz. employment, development of business, transportation etc. Rapid risk assessment including emergency response plan and DMP has been prepared to handle any sort of emergencies. Hence looking to the overall project justification, process, pollution potential and pollution prevention measures /technologies installed by proponent, environmental management activities of proponent; it has been concluded that the proposed project would not have any considerable impacts on environment as well as socio-economic and ecological conditions of the project area. Hence proposed project is considered environmentally safe.
