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 land use and disturbance to the local ecology).

Impact on Land Use: The proposed project site is an undeveloped land with very sparse vegetation. However, the site is already earmarked for residential development in Gurgaon Manesar Urban Complex Plan 2031; hence no impact on land use is envisaged and the site will be developed in accordance to GMUC 2031. The project site marked on GMUC 2031 and HUDA approved Sectoral plan is already enclosed as Annexure 1a and Annexure 1b respectively.



Impact on Open & Green Spaces: The project being a well-planned activity will result in organized open spaces and green areas. The project will have approximately 29.93 Acres 121180.45 sq m (~32.92% of the site area) under exclusive green area/landscaping. Apart from other open area, the site area will also have water body of an area 18519 sq m (~5% of net planned area).

Impact on Local Ecology: The project area will be developed as an area development project and will not cause any disturbance to local ecology as there will be proper greenbelt development within the project premises to enhance the aesthetics and ecology of the surrounding area.

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 Erosion / Subsidence The main reasons for erosion or subsidence are overexploitation of groundwater,

instable slopes, landslides etc. The proposed development will involve excavation work for basement, cutting &

filling operations and other building construction. The proposed site area is almost barren with slightly undulating slopes.

The project involves construction of roads and development of green areas, which would reduce the chances of erosion subsidence. Subsidence is not anticipated, as ground water usage will not be overexploited.

Regional Geology The Delhi Supergroup is exposed in the Aravali Mountains of Rajasthan. These mountains extend from Delhi to south west direction through Haryana and Rajasthan up to Gujarat. The succession of Delhi Supergroup is composed mainly of Quartzite’s, Conglomerates, Grits, Slates and Phyllites. The succession of Delhi Supergroup has been divided into two parts: The Lower Part, which is predominantly arenaceous, is called the “Alwar Group” and the Upper Part which is mainly argillaceous is called the “Ajabgarh Group”. In Alwar area, there is a succession of calcareous group rock bed in between Alwar and Ajabgarh groups. The succession of the Delhi Supergroup is as follows: Group Lithology Ajabgarh Group Phyllites and slates with calc-gneisses and calc-schists Alwar Group Quartzite’s, Conglomerates and Grits

The proposed project site falls in Alwar group. The rocks of the Alwar group area distributed though unevenly, throughout the northern parts of the Aravali range. The Alwar succession, estimated to be more than 3 Km in thickness, is almost entirely made up of compact quartzites, conglomerates, grits and slates. The succession



contains several sill like bodies of epidiorites showing both the intrusive and extrusive character.

Geotechnical Investigations at Site The geotechnical investigation has been conducted at site by NABL approved laboratory. As per the results of geo-technical investigation carried out at site, the stratigraphy is as follows: The proposed site is slightly undulating and there is a level variation of about ~12m across the site. The surficial soils at the site primarily consist of alternating layers of sandy silt and silty fine sand to the maximum explored depth. There is a large variation in the depth and thickness of the various strata across the site.

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

Rainwater harvesting will be done by creating recharge pits within the site. The rain

water from the roof, open and paved areas will be diverted to the rain water harvesting pits within the site. Rain water harvesting will be carried out through the required numbers of pits. The details of Storm Water calculation with Layout will be detailed out with the EIA Report.

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?

The proposed project would involve construction of paved areas. Thus the runoff from the project site is expected to increase. However, the increased runoff will not cause flooding or water logging because a well-designed storm water network will be provided within the entire site premises, which will be used to recharge the ground water.

The rain water harvesting will be carried out through the required numbers of pits.

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).

The proposed project would not cause any impact on ground water as it does not

envisage withdrawal of ground water, because the water requirement during the construction phase will be met through tanker water supply and treated wastewater from HUDA STP.

During the operation phase, water will be sourced from HUDA water supply. In case of any abstraction of groundwater, due permission will be obtained from CGWA.

Even if there will be any withdrawal of ground water, it will be recharged through rain water harvesting through proposed Nos. of RWH structures. The groundwater details of Gurgaon district are as follows: Net Annual Groundwater availability 718 MCM Gross Annual Draft 421 MCM Stage of Groundwater Development 64 %

The hydrogeological investigation has been carried out at the site. The details will be enclosed with EIA Report.

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).



Required control measures have been proposed to check the surface run-off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any nearby land. The following management measures shall be adopted to protect the water quality during the construction phase. Avoid excavation during monsoon season. Precautionary measures would be taken to avoid soil erosion. Toilets will be constructed on the site during construction phase and septic tanks

will be provided. To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof

containers would be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area would be kept effectively impervious.

Collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of equipment wash downs and prevention of soil loss and toxic releases from the construction site will be adhered to minimize water pollution.

All stacking and loading areas would be provided with proper garland drains equipped with baffles to prevent run off from the site.

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).

The proposed development would involve a proper storm water drainage network for rain water harvesting in order to recharge the ground water through RWH pits. Hence, the entire storm water, produced within the site will be channelized through this drainage network. Proper management will be done to make it free of contamination. A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider the sources of storm water. The plan will incorporate best management practices which will include the following:

Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains. Clarifiers or oil/water separators will be installed in all the parking areas. Cover waste storage areas. Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season. Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness. Provision of slit traps in storm water drains.

The proposed site does not having any drains within the site premises. However, the

natural drainage of the area will not be affected as drains/channels will be provided.

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).

No, the deployment of construction laborers will not lead to any unsanitary conditions

around the project site as mostly local laborers will be employed. Approximately 1000



labours will be deployed for the construction work. It is estimated that approx. 50 KLD of waste water will be generated from the labor camp and project site, for which septic tanks will be provided and further disposed off through mobile STP.

Approximately at peak construction 1000 laborers will be deployed for the proposed development. It is estimated that 0.150 TPD (@0.25 kg/capita/day for 200 labourers residing in labour colony and @ 0.1 kg/capita/day for 1000 local labour) of waste will be generated from the labour camp and project site. It will be ensured that the generated waste will be sent to nearest designated waste storage bins.

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).

The total sewage generation is 729 KLD which will be treated in an onsite STP of 875

KLD capacity. The total reclaimed wastewater will be 656 KLD out of which 222 KLD will be used to meet the flushing requirement, 434 KLD for horticulture/landscaping requirement.

The design brief of STP is enclosed as Annexure 9.

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

The proposed project will involve reuse of treated wastewater in flushing. Hence, a

dual flushing system has been proposed for and about 222 KLD of treated water will be used for flushing purpose.

The dual plumbing layout plan for the proposed project will be enclosed with EIA Report

3. VEGETATION 3.1. Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the

local ecosystem with its unique features, if any). No there is no threat to the biodiversity due to the proposed expansion activity.

Moreover, proper greenbelt development within the project site will enhance the local ecosystem.

This part of Haryana falls under Semi-Arid Punjab plains in terms of Bio-geographic provinces. The land use pattern of the area is unproductive. There is no ecological sensitive zone, which provides habitat and movement for any kind of animals in the immediate vicinity of the proposed area.

No permanent aquatic ecosystem with significant ecological resources is also found within the study area.



3.2. Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).

The proposed site is not having any tree species. Only few ground vegetation,

bushes will be cut for the proposed development. 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).

The proposed development for residential use would entail provision of greenery and

landscaping within the premises. The detailed survey of the site does not support any rich floral diversity. An approximately 32.92 % (121,180.45 Sqm. Acres) exclusive green area will be developed as part of the proposed development which includes peripheral and road side plantation. The suggested plant species for green belt development within the project boundary is given in Table 6:

Botanical Name Nos.

Cassia Fistula/Delonix Regia 1144

Alstonia Scholaris 313

Chorisia speciosa/ Bauhinia alba 509

TOTAL 1966

A landscape plan showing the green belt development is enclosed as Annexure 10 4. FAUNA 4.1. Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna - both terrestrial and aquatic or

creation of barriers for their movement? Provide the details. No. The existing land use pattern in and around the proposed site does not have

much of a habitat for mammalian species. A few species of domesticated mammals like cow, goat, and buffalo are reported within the site. The detail of fauna in the area is enclosed as Annexure 11.

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

A few common bird species were recorded in the study area. Avifauna species like

house crow, myna, peacock and sparrow are also reported within the site and surroundings. During the construction period these species might get disturbed or even migrate to nearby habitat. However, this will be for a very shorter period of time and multilayered peripheral greenbelt will provide an excellent habitat for these



species once it becomes fully grown. Hence, no impact to this local avifauna is envisaged from this residential development.

No endemic, exotic or threatened species of birds are recorded. Thus it is likely that there is no direct or indirect impact on the avifauna of the area.

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

The project site does not support a rich habitat of mammalian species. Most of them

are native to the area. Hence, construction or demarcation of corridor etc is not required. As adverse impact on fauna is not envisaged, hence no mitigation measures are suggested.

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).

Ambient Air Quality

The baseline studies for air environment covers reconnaissance, identification of specific air pollutants expected to have significant impacts from the proposed project and assessing their prevailing levels in ambient air at representative locations within the impact zone around the project site. The baseline status of air environment in this study will be assessed through reconnaissance in project area and a systematic air quality surveillance programme. The ambient air quality is being monitored by the MoEF/NABL approved laboratory M/s ITL Labs Pvt. Ltd. The monitoring is being carried out at 5 locations for 24 hours continuously (twice a week), for one season started from 1st November 2014 and will be conducted till 29th January 2015 for continuous three months. The ambient air quality monitoring program has been finalized as per EIA guidance manual – Building Construction and Township and Area Development Projects: (i) Annexure 1 (Terms of References for Environment Impact Assessment of Building, Construction and Township and Area Development Projects), Page No. 107 and (ii) Annexure 3 (Sampling, Frequency & Method of Baseline Environment Monitoring), Page No. 130. (source: MoEF website: http://environmentclearance.nic.in /writereaddata/Form-1A/HomeLinks/building-construction_may-10.pdf ).The parameter like PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO & Pb are being monitored at each of the location and analysis of pollutants will be done as per standard IS codes.

Locations of AAQ Monitoring Stations An assessment of baseline air quality was undertaken to establish the status of exposure of the receptors. This assessment was accomplished by examining sources of air emissions within the study area and by conducting a site specific background sampling program.



The basic considerations for designing air quality surveillance programme within 500 m as per EIA guidance manual (Page no 14) include: Nature of Project (Building Construction) Meteorological Conditions Topography Selected Pollution Pockets in the Area and Likely impact area

Keeping the historical meteorological conditions, topography, physical features, sensitive locations and current and anticipated pollution loads in mind and based on the reconnaissance survey of the project area, a monitoring framework for air quality in the study area (5 km radius) has been drawn up. In this manner, a total of 5 numbers of monitoring locations have been selected to assess the existing air quality during the post monsoon season (starting from 1st November 2014 to 29th January 2015) in the area. The details of monitoring locations and location on Google map is given in Table 7 and Figure 3, respectively.

Monitoring Results of Ambient Air Quality



The ambient air quality monitoring results of above mentioned locations for post monsoon season (November (1/11/2014) – January (29/01/2015)) will be presented in the EIA report.

Emission Predictions

Air dispersion modeling can be used to predict atmospheric concentrations of pollutants at specific locations (receptors) over specific averaging times (i.e. annual, daily and hourly). An atmospheric dispersion model accounts for emissions from a source; estimates how high into the atmosphere they will go, how widely they will spread and how far they will travel based on temporal meteorological data; and outputs the pattern of concentrations that will occur for various exposure periods, thereby providing the exposure risks for different receptors. Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3) air dispersion model will be used to predict ground level concentrations of the contaminants emitted from area and point sources at the site during both the construction and operational phases. In order to predict the air pollutants, the model requires the following input parameters: Hourly meteorological data; The source description including emission rates of the various contaminants,

type of source (i.e. area and point) and source emissions characteristics, as described above;

The receptor locations and grid layout will be based on the site coordinates, receptor locations and nature of sources.

The incremental concentrations will be predicted for Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5) over an averaging time of 24 hours. This case will provide a prediction of the maximum concentrations at each receptor for a 24–hourly period during which meteorological conditions are least conducive for dispersion of pollutants and does not include the effect of precipitation. The air dispersion modeling results obtained from U.S. EPA Industrial Source Complex 3 (ISCST3) air dispersion model for construction and operation phase of the proposed project will be detailed out in the EIA report.

5.2. What are the impacts of generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other

hazardous gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters. During the construction phase of the project, the principal source of air pollution will

be dust from exposed site areas, stockpiling, and movement of vehicles along unpaved roads, excavation of earth and handling of construction materials. Dust emissions particularly relevant to the dry season can move even up to 250-300 m in the predominant wind direction. In addition, there will also be gaseous emissions from construction vehicles and various construction equipments. Various equipments require diesel oil as fuel being the sources of gaseous emissions. The major gaseous pollutants, which get emitted from diesel-powered equipment and vehicles, are PM, CO, NOx and SO2. Emission from construction vehicles will not lead to any adverse



impacts owing to their limited number during the construction phase. Moreover, under normal operation, equipments with proper maintenance are unlikely to cause any significant dark smoke emissions and hence gaseous emissions are expected to be minor. Thus, ground level concentrations in ambient air environment are not expected to exceed the prescribed limits.

During operation phase, DG sets will be used only in case of power failure. DG sets have been identified as the only major source of gaseous and particulate emission. PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx and CO emissions are expected due to fuel combustion in generator sets. To serve a back-up power supply for entire project, 12000 KVA of power is to be supplied through 16 nos. of DG sets of 750 KVA capacity each. As a worst case scenario impact of generation of gases have been predicted using ISCST3 air quality model assuming an operation of 24 hours in relation to on-site observed meteorological parameters. As the DG sets will be operated for back-up power supply only, therefore the impact of generation of gaseous pollutants in the ambient environment would be negligible.

5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish

details of the present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement including the traffic management at the entry & exit to the project site.

The project premises will have stilt parking facilities for smooth traffic movement..

The details of the parking facility is provided below:

Table 8 Parking Proposed

Plots 778 Total 778

Parking facilities will be provided inside the project premises. A total parking of 778 Nos. is proposed for the proposed project area. The traffic circulation and parking plan is enclosed as Annexure 12.

5.4. Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks,

pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc, with areas under each category. It will be ensured that internal road will be developed to facilitate smooth flow of traffic

within the proposed development. The design of the horizontal and vertical alignment, sight distance, sections, medians

and intersections will be as per the relevant IRC: 64 (India Road Congress) codes. The main entry to the proposed land will be through 60 m wide HUDA Sector road. Pedestrian pathways, bicycle tracks and footpaths of adequate widths will be

provided for pedestrian safety and to reduce the vehicular movement within site. Total area under road for the proposed project is 24.057 Acres



5.5. Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.

Yes, there will be increase in traffic noise and vibrations due to the proposed

development. During the construction phase, traffic noise and vibrations will increase due to the transportation of construction material. To mitigate noise generation during construction phase it will be ensured that construction material transport will be strictly limited to daytime hours to ensure minimum incremental noise during night hours and only PUC (Pollution under Control) certified vehicles will be used for the same.

During the operation phase of the project, it is estimated that due to influx of people and various activities within site, the vehicular movement on the existing roads will increase thereby increasing the incremental noise levels. To mitigate traffic noise generation during operation phase, a detailed traffic management plan will be implemented for abatement of noise emissions. A separate entry and exit points for the proposed project site will be designed in such a way that a proper loop movement of vehicles will be ensured within the site to avoid traffic congestion leading to noise pollution. Moreover, honking will be prohibited within the developed premises and in the area to its close proximity.

A site–specific background noise quality monitoring program is finalized as per standard methodologies and accepted protocols as detailed by the MoEF. The ambient noise quality is being monitored by the MoEF/NABL approved laboratory M/s ITL Labs Pvt. Ltd. The monitoring will be conducted during post monsoon season between 1st November 2014 to 29th January 2015 at the same five locations of ambient air quality monitoring.

The basic considerations for designing noise quality surveillance programme include:

Vehicle Movement Within the Impact Zone Activities in surrounding villages / settlements/nearby areas Ecologically Sensitive Locations

Based on the above mentioned criteria, noise monitoring will also be conducted at

the 5 locations (as mentioned above in Point No. 5.1) within the impact zone. Sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements will automatically recorded to give the noise level for every hour, continuously for 24 hours in a day. Accordingly one full day (i.e. 24 hourly values) monitoring data will be collected at each location.

The Results of baseline background noise quality monitoring will be presented in the EIA report.

5.6. What will be the impact of D.G sets & other equipment on noise levels &

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



16 Nos. of DG sets with capacities 750 kVA each will be used as power backup only in case of power failure. The DG sets installed will be equipped with acoustic enclosures and stack height will meet the CPCB standards.

7.3. Will the project cause adverse effects on local communities, disturbance to sacred sites or other cultural values? What are the safeguards proposed?

The anticipated adverse impacts due to proposed project can be divided into

construction and operation phase .The possible safeguards are also given below: Adverse Impact during Construction Phase



o Loss of land and livelihood - The proposed land is barren and earmarked for residential development as per the GMUC 2031. So no temporary loss of livelihood due to land acquisition is envisaged.

o Air and Noise Pollution - The construction activity will lead to air and noise pollution due to the increased movement of vehicles, various construction activities and use of high noise generating equipments. Apart from creating disturbance in their day to day life, the increase in the air and noise emissions can cause harm to nearby residents which will be temporary in nature.

o Health and Safety - The construction activity might lead to occupational health hazards while handling of equipments and transportation. Interaction of local community with migrant labours may increase risk of contraction of communicable disease.

Safeguards Measures during construction phase o Safety and Health Safeguards for the construction labour and adjoining

community - Considering the nature of work, proper equipments and safety gears will be provided to the workers. Occupational health and safety standards will be followed as per guidelines of Building and Other Construction Workers (Regulation of Employment and working Conditions) Act, 1996. Regular checkups for the workers and adjoining community would be carried out to ascertain that there is no negative health impact related with construction activities.

o Barricading, Signboards and Public announcement system - The construction area will be barricaded and signboards will be displayed which will provide requisite information to the neighboring communities about the construction activity and vehicle movement Public announcement system would be used for messages and danger warning.

Adverse Impact during Operation Phase

o Air and Noise Pollution - There will be considerable increase in traffic which

will lead to air emissions during this phase. Noise will be generated from the vehicular movement and social activities within the project area.

o Demography - The proposed project envisages provision of residential development. This will result in population migrating from other parts of the state and country.

o Stress on the prevailing utilities - The resources being utilized by the locals will not be affected in any way as all the resources and infrastructure in the proposed development is self-contained. Adequate sewerage facility, solid waste disposal, water harvesting system, drainage etc to be developed within the project area will be incorporated in the operational section design of the proposed development.

Safeguards during operation phase



o Employment and Job opportunities- It will be ensured that the affected

population will get job on priority basis so that their means of livelihood is restored.

o Housing Facilities- The Residential towers planned would be developed so as to accommodate migrating population from the state as well as from the district.

o Utilities and local resources- The proposed residential development will have its own resources and utilities therefore there will be no additional pressure on the resources used by the locals.

o Air and Noise Pollution- Proper traffic management plan, parking facilities will be developed to mitigate air pollution. Noise reduction strategies like preventive maintenance and acoustic enclosures will be adopted. Tree plantation along the major road corridors will be done to reduce the vehicular noise.

8. BUILDING MATERIALS 8.1. May involve the use of building materials with high-embodied energy. Are the

construction materials produced with energy efficient processes? (Give details of energy conservation measures in the selection of building materials and their energy efficiency).

Alternative building materials and technology options for construction will be opted

which will have low embodied energy content. For achieving energy efficiency, alternative materials will be considered for the construction of walls, roofs and paneling purposes.

Walls: Alternative materials such fly ash, etc will be considered for wall construction and concreting

Roof: Alternate materials such as fly ash based aggregate with Underdeck Insulation like brick back coba, extruded polystyrene, etc. will be considered for roof construction. Materials based on recycled steel or aluminium will be considered.

Panels: Medium density fiber boards, rice husk boards and PVC doors will be used for construction of panels in place of natural wood. Natural fiber bonded polymer composites will also be considered.

8.2 Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in

pollution, noise & public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?

Appropriate measures have been considered and shall be implemented to mitigate

the adverse impacts of dust due to the transport and handling of construction materials, which have been discussed below:



Paving: The major access roads to the site will be paved before the beginning of the construction work, as part of the overall development plan. The material storage areas will also be paved and covered for dust control.

Graveling: Locally found gravel will be applied to the other access roads to serve as a protective layer over the exposed soil.

Water Sprinkling: Water sprinkling shall be done for the surfaces exposed to high wind speeds or heavy traffic movement.

Reducing Vehicle Speed: High vehicle speeds increase the amount of fugitive dust created from unpaved areas. Speed bumps will be provided to ensure speed control and reduction on unpaved areas.

Material Storage: All material storage will be adequately covered and contained on paved areas so that they are not exposed to high wind speeds on site leading to dust/particulate emissions. Fabrics and plastics will be used for covering soils and debris to reduce fugitive dust emissions.

To mitigate the impact of noise from construction equipments on site the following measures are recommended for implementation:

Time of Operation - Minimum construction activities will be carried out during night time. Material transport will be strictly limited to daytime hours to ensure minimum incremental noise during night hours.

Job rotation - Workers employed in high noise areas will be engaged in shifts with PPE (Personnel Protective Equipments) to minimize exposure.

Protective equipments- Earplugs/muffs, or other hearing protective wear will be provided to those working very close to the noise generating machinery.

8.3 Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of savings achieved?

Recycled materials will be used in roads as well as for pavers. In general, on

recycling of material for road and paving total saving may be up to 5 %. 8.4. Give details of the methods of collection, segregation & disposal of the garbage

generated during the operation phases of the project. The total solid waste generated during operation phase of the project has been

estimated to be 4.44 TPD. The waste will be generated from the residing population living on the Independent Floors of Plotted development. The biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste will be collected separately and will be segregated at source, transferred, and treated and disposed off as per the Solid Waste Management Rules 2000.

Waste Management Plan It is proposed to develop a comprehensive self sustaining Integrated Solid Waste Management system for the proposed residential development which would address waste collection, segregation, transportation, recycling, processing and disposal. The



plan will also encourage 4 R’s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery (materials & energy). Waste management options for the proposed project have been suggested based on the following criteria:

The proposed system will be developed in accordance with the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2000 and other regulatory requirements.

The proposed solid waste management system will be self-sustaining. The preferred solid waste management system will be flexible and adaptable with

respect to changes in solid waste composition, generation rates and markets for recovered materials.

Manual handling of waste will be minimized. Local shopping to reduce packaging and food waste Construction waste management to divert waste from landfill.

Collection and Transportation

Segregation at source will be introduced for wet and dry waste. To minimize littering and odour, adequate provisions will be made for storage of solid waste. The storage bins will be located at pre identified strategic locations in the basement to minimize disturbance to traffic flow.

Adequate number of collection and transportation vehicles will be provided to reduce manual handling of waste and induced mechanization for greater efficiency. The collection vehicles will be well maintained to minimize noise and emissions, and while transporting waste, these will be covered to avoid littering. Public awareness meetings will also be conducted to involve the residents in the proper segregation, storage, recycling.

Waste Treatment and Disposal System Appropriate processing and treatment of biodegradable waste will be done on a

designated place. Non-recyclable and non-biodegradable waste will be disposed off to authorized recyclers/vendors.

9.7. Do the structures use energy-efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems? Provide technical details. Provide details of the transformers and motor efficiencies, lighting intensity and air-conditioning load assumptions? Are you using CFC and HCFC free chillers? Provide specifications.

Yes. The project will ensure use of energy efficient lighting and ventilation. This will

be done by incorporating modern architectural designs and techniques. Energy efficient building orientation would be taken into account while designing building envelope.

Transformer used will be constructed with high quality grain oriented low loss silicon steel and virgin electrolytic grade copper. Maximum allowable losses will be less than 1.5%. Transformer would be equipped with additional metering class current



transformers (CTs) and potential transformers (PTs) additional to requirements of utilities so that periodic loss monitoring study may be carried out.

9.8. What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the micro-

climates? Provide a self-assessment on the likely impacts of the proposed construction on creation of heat island & inversion effects?

Heat emission from the proposed construction can be from the following sources:

Heat absorbed from the paved and concrete structures, heat generated from equipments / appliances and also due to increased population in the project. However the heat generated will not be significant and will be dissipated in the lush greens and open areas provided within the Project premises. Hence it can be concluded that the heat island effect shall not be a concern for the concerned project.

9.9. What are the thermal characteristics of the building envelope? (a) roof; (b)

external walls; and (c) fenestration? Give details of the material used and the U-values or the R values of the individual components.

The thermal characteristics of the building Envelope comprising of Roof, wall and

glass would in conformance to ECBC requirement. 9.10. What precautions & safety measures are proposed against fire hazards?

Furnish details of emergency plans. The fire protection system will be generally designed based on Part IV, Group I of

National Building Code (NBC) of India (2005), Tariff Advisory Committee’s TAC, fire protection manual (1998) and the latest Indian and International standards/codes. The fire protection system will cover external as well as internal premises of the building.

Following systems are planned to be provided for the building:

Fire hydrants Portable Fire Extinguisher

Emergency Response Plan (ERP) will be developed to combat with the adverse situation resulting from natural and manmade activities, such as earthquake, flooding (natural); fire, industrial accidents, explosion, chemical spills (manmade) etc. The plan has been formulated for onsite as well as for offsite management of emergency. Emergence Control Centre (ECC) comprising site main controller, work incident controller, safety coordinator, medical officer and other support officers will be developed. Arrangement of adequate equipment and facilities will be installed for combating emergencies. Under emergency basic duties such as - emergency shut-down, accounting of personnel, evacuation, rehabilitation, inform relatives of the affected people, terminate the emergency procedures etc. will be undertaken as per the Emergency Code of Practice (ECP).



9.11. If you are using glass as wall material, provide details and specifications

including emissivity and thermal characteristics.

The project will provide solar control glass with improved U- value. The majority of exterior envelope surface will be in light, reflective color stucco.

Ensuring that heat energy is not absorbed by wall surfaces thus reducing cooling costs. Moreover, insulation is added to the roof composition in order to reduce heat gain. The use of local material is also another initiative to reduce energy consumption in construction.

9.12. What is the rate of air infiltration into the building? Provide details of how you are mitigating the effects of infiltration.

The design features of the building will consider adequate cross ventilation within and outside the buildings by providing doors and windows on both the windward and leeward sides of the building. Operable facade will be used to allow for natural ventilation during shoulder season and night time.

9.13. To what extent the non-conventional energy technologies are utilized in the overall energy consumption? Provide details of the renewable energy technologies used.

It is proposed to install Roof top solar thermal system for hot water supply and solar based lighting provision will be made as per HAREDA norms.



10. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environment Management Plan

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure that the environmental quality of the zone under impact does not deteriorate beyond the expected level due to the construction and operation of the project. The EMP comprises a set of measures to be taken in different phases of the project such as construction and operation to reduce adverse environmental impacts to an acceptable level. Mitigation plans generally evolve around remediation and offsetting.

Implement Arrangements for EMP

The implementation of the EMP will be initiated by project proponent. The project proponent (M/s Ireo Pvt. Ltd.) will have a multi-disciplinary team and will also have an environmental management cell having a senior level environmental expert supported by a numbers of middle level environmental experts. This team will ensure compliances of mitigation measures and all statutory requirements. The team will also implement all EMP provisions and respective environmental experts will supervise EMP implementation. The senior environmental expert will mainly report EMP compliances to management and statutory undertakers.

The detailed Environmental Management Plan (EMP), organization chart showing EMP implementation along with monitoring plan based on approved ToR (Terms of reference) by HSEAC (Haryana State Expert Appraisal Committee) will be presented in the EIA report.
