3.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
3.1 Meteorology
Baseline data generation was undertaken for meteorological variables during winter season
from 1st December 2014 to 28th February, 2015. It has been found that the maximum
temperature goes upto 37°C during the month of February, while the minimum temperature
is observed to be 19°C during both December and January. The average humidity in the area
ranges from 27% to 94%. The average annual rainfall is observed to be 101.3 mm.
Generally, moderate to heavy winds prevail throughout the year.
3.2 Soil Quality
Eight locations within 10-km radius of the plant boundary were selected for soil sampling.
The soil samples were collected during winter season and analyzed for physical and chemical
characteristics. It has been observed that the texture of soil is mostly ‘Gravelly clay’ in the
study area. It has been observed that the pH of the soil quality ranged from 6.6 – 7.8,
indicating that the soil is usually ‘slightly acidic’ to ‘slightly alkaline’ in nature. From the data,
it is observed that the Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium content in the soils are in the
range of 276.2- 424.2 kg/ha, 75.9 – 94.4 kg/ha and 81.9- 121.9 kg/ha respectively.
3.3 Ambient Air Quality
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at six locations with due
consideration to the meteorology. Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out with a
frequency of two days per week for three months at all locations for the study period (1st
December 2014 to 28th February, 2015). The maximum and minimum concentrations for
PM10 were recorded as 82.5 g/m3 and 71.1 g/m3 respectively. The maximum and minimum
concentrations of PM2.5 were recorded as 38.9 - g/m3 and 30.6 g/m3 respectively.
The maximum and minimum SO2 concentrations were recorded as 16.3g/m3 and 11.3
g/m3. The maximum concentration of NOx was recorded to be 35.9 g/m3 and the
minimum concentration was observed to be 23.5 g/m3. The ambient air quality results
reveal that all the monitoring results are well within the standards prescribed by Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB) for rural and residential zone and Industrial zone.

Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out by employing American
Meteorological Society/ EPA Regulatory Model Improvement Committee (AERMIC)
dispersion model based on steady state gaussian plume dispersion, designed for multiple
point sources for short term has been used for predicting the ground level concentrations.
The computations deal with major pollutants like Particulate Matter, Sulphur dioxide and
Nitrogen dioxide. The ground level concentrations predicted from the modeling are given in
Table-5.
TABLE-1.3
SHORT TERM MAXIMUM INCREMENTAL CONCENTRATIONS

PM 82.5 0.34 82.84 100 SO2 16.3 2.47 18.77 80 NOx 35.9 0.86 36.76 80
A perusal of previous sub-section reveal that the maximum incremental short-term 24 hourly
ground level concentrations for PM, SO2 and NOx are likely to be encountered in the
operation of the power project are 0.34, 2.47 and 0.86 g/m3 respectively occurring at a
distance of about 1.3 km in the SW direction.
The worst case maximum resultant 24 Hourly concentrations for PM, SO2 and NOx after
implementation of the proposed activity are 82.84, 18.77 and 36.76 µg/m3 respectively.
According to the above presented results, it can be stated that the impact of PM from
proposed expansion would be negligible in core or buffer zone of the project.
Even though, the incremental and resultant concentrations of SO2 and NOx are significant to
certain extent, they are well within the NAAQ limits and hence, the AAQ levels after
implementation of the proposed activity will remain within the permissible limits. Hence, it
can be stated that the AAQ of the area will be within the permissible limits of respective
zones.
3.4 Water Quality
Two (2) surface water and six (6) ground water samples were collected and were analyzed
for various parameters to compare with the standards for drinking water as per IS: 10500

for ground water sources and IS: 2296 (Class-C) for surface water sources. The ground
water quality is observed to be good as all the parameters are well within the limits
prescribed by IS: 10500. Analysis of surface water samples indicated that no contamination
was present in the samples and all the values were found to comply with the specifications of
IS: 2296.
3.5 Noise Level Survey
The noise monitoring has been carried out at ten locations within the study area for
determining the noise levels. One reading for every hour was taken for 24 hours. The noise
levels recorded in day times were observed to be in the range of 58.0 dB(A) at industrial
area, 50.6 dB(A) to 89.4 dB(A) at residential area and 49.6 dB(A) at commercial area. At
night, the noise levels were recorded as 54.4 dB(A) for industrial area, 35.4 dB(A) to 44.8
dB(A) at residential area and 45.7 dB(A) in the commercial area. The values were found to
be well within the permissible limits.
3.6 Ecological Survey
The area is a degraded scrub land intermixed with agriculture fields. There are two reserved
forests in the study area. The region is urbanized with developmental activities that include
industries, railway lines and roads. From the field observations, it can be concluded that
there are no Wildlife sanctuaries, National parks/biosphere reserves in 10 km radius from the
proposed site boundary. As per the records of the Botanical Survey of India there are no
plants of conservation importance in the study area.
3.7 Demography and Socio- economics
As per 2001 census, the current population in 10-km radius of project site is estimated to
be about 2,75,693 persons. In total population, males constitute about 50.60% and
females about 49.40% of the total population. The average household size constitutes about
4.05 persons. The average literacy rate is 75.04%. The main workers constituted 33.15% of
the total population. The marginal workers and non-workers worked out to be about 7.38%
and 59.47% of the total population respectively. It is seen that non- workers are the
predominant population.
3.8 Land use Studies
Remote sensing satellite imageries were collected and interpreted for the 10-km radius
study area for analyzing the Land use pattern of the study area. The Built- up area is
7907.73 ha, which is about 23.71% of the study area. The Dense/ Open forest area is 731
ha, which is around 2.19% of the study area. Water bodies occupy about 17.64 % (5883
ha) of the study area. The barren land is 634 ha, which is about 1.90% of the study area.
Double crop land is 3151 ha whereas single crop land is 5385 ha, which is around 9.45%
and 16.14% of the study area respectively.

4.0 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 Impacts during Construction Phase
During construction phase, the land will be excavated for building basements and
laying roads. However, the earthen material will be used in the construction and
elevation of low lying areas.
Apart from localized construction impacts at the plant site, no adverse impacts on soil
in the surrounding area are anticipated.
The impact on the air environment due to the activities carried out in the erection
phase will be for short duration and confined within the project boundary and is
expected to be negligible outside the plant boundaries.
The overall impact on water environment during erection phase due is likely to be
short term and insignificant.
The proposed site does not need any clearance of trees as the land is already a barren
and infertile land.
4.2 Impacts during Operation Phase
4.2.1 Ambient Air quality
Being a coal based power project, the important air pollutants are Particulate Matter (PM),
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx).Even though, the incremental and
resultant concentrations of SO2 and NOx are significant to certain extent, they are well within
the NAAQ limits and hence, the AAQ levels after implementation of the proposed activity will
remain within the permissible limits. The impact of fugitive dust emissions from the proposed
units on air quality of the region is insignificant. The details of stack emissions are presented
in Table- 1.5.

4.2.2 Impact on Water Resources and Quality
Total wastewater (including process and non-process) generation in the project will be
about 280 m3/day. Out of 280 m3/day of wastewater generated, non-process wastewater
ie., sewage, is about 4.0 m3/day and it will be treated in the existing Sewage Treatment
Plant of JKTIL. The process wastewater (276 m3/day) will be properly treated in the
Effluent Treatment plant and the entire treated wastewater will be reused to ensure zero
discharge from the plant. The storm water in the project area will be collected through storm
water drains and collected in the rain water collection pond. The stored storm water will be
utilized in the plant operation resulting in conservation of fresh water. Thus, no impact on the
natural water bodies is envisaged.
4.2.3 Impact of Solid Wastes
Ash is the major solid waste to be generated from a coal based thermal power plant. The
quantity of Fly ash generated will be 57.6 TPD and 14.4 TPD of Bottom ash will be generated.
ESPs with efficiencies over 99.99% shall be provided to prevent ash dispersions into ambient
air. Fly ash will be collected from ESP hoppers in dry from and supplied to potential ash users
depending on the demand. The bottom ash will be stored in an ash dyke with an impervious
HDPE layer. The sludge from sewage treatment plant will be dried, crushed, pelletized and
used as manure for greenbelt. Canteen/sanitary waste will be composted and used as manure
for greenbelt development.
4.2.4 Impact on Noise Levels
The main noise generating stationary sources from the power plant will be pumps,
compressors and boilers. The noise levels at the source for these units will be in the range of
80-90 dB(A). The predicted noise levels at the boundary due to various plant activities will be
ranging in between 32 to 36 dB(A). The incremental noise levels will be less than 40 dB(A) at
all the surrounding habitations. However, provision of acoustic barriers and shelters, greenbelt
development and provision of Personal Protective Equipments (PPE)s will be implemented to
mitigate any adverse impacts due to noise levels.
4.2.5 Impact on Ecology
It is proposed to develop greenbelt around the plant site and implementation of eco
development along with local people will enhance the greenery of the area. Hence, no
significant adverse impact is envisaged on terrestrial ecology. The impacts on aquatic ecology
due to proposed expansion activity would be negligible as the treated effluents from the
plant will meet the prescribed standards prior to final discharge.
4.2.6 Impact on Socio- economics
No shifting of human habitations are envisaged for siting of the proposed units, as the land is
a barren land which has been acquired by the proponent. Hence, no resettlement activities
are envisaged. The project will also help in generation of the indirect employment apart from
direct employment. This will be a positive socio-economic development for the region.
