Water Environment:

Study area falls in command area of Narmada Canal. It was observed that ground water is supplied to house hold via tank. At some places Canal water, ground water and pond water are major sources of irrigation water.

At all locations ground water is utilized for domestic as well as drinking purpose. As per Drinking water standard of IS: 10500 ground water of all the locations can be used for domestic purpose. The water can be used for drinking purpose after proper treatment of hardness (softener/ boiling of water); TDS & chlorides (RO); bacteria (UV/ boiling of water); as alkalinity is not so high than standard it can be removed along with TDS.

Large dia, collector type wells, generally for regional water supply or for industrial uses are common in sandy beds of Mahi and Orsang rivers. Category of dabhoi taluka is safe for ground water extraction.

Soil Environment:

The soil of Vadodara district can be broadly classified into three groups. They are black soils, alluvial soils and hilly soils.

Soil texture of the study area is either salty loam or clay which is moderately well drained fine soils on very gently sloping alluvial plain with moderate erosion. pH value is found to be moderately alkaline. Organic Carbon is found to be medium to high which indicates soil of the some area is poor in fertility and some of them are fertile soil. Available potassium is medium to high and available phosphorous is found to be very low to high. Soil is salt-free.

Noise Environment:

The noise level measurement was carried out by using Noise Meter for eight locations in day and night time, including project site and are found within prescribed norms.

Ecology & Biodiversity:

The trees, herbs, shrubs and major crops, observed during the biological survey conducted within study area. During study 88 flora observed belongs to 48 Family are enumerated from the study area.

Among the enumerated flora in the study area, no rare and endangered flora was observed.

The agriculture is major land use of the study area. During study 67 fauna observed belongs to 41Family are enumerated from the study area.

IMPORTANCE OF THE PROJECT TO THE COUNTRY, REGION:

The UPR are widely used in the building & construction industry. The growth of the construction industry is an important indicator of a country’s development, as it createsinvestment opportunities across various related sectors. This growth in the constructionindustry is projected to propel the demand for FRP (Fiber glass reinforced plastic) products.This would lead to growth in demand for UPRs in diverse applications. They are widely usedas thermo setting resins with better product performance then another resins such as epoxy,vinyl ester, acrylics, amides and alkyd resins. They are easy to manufacture, cost-effective,easy to processing for conversion into a finished product and readily modified for specific use. Buildings & construction, pipes & tanks and automotive industries make extensive use of various UPRs for making FRP fuel storage tanks, cooling tower components, artificial marble quartz, beams, ladder rails, boat hulls, decks and small automobile parts (both interior andexterior).

Vinyl ester is another variety of resin, whose important property is resistance to moisture andoffers commercial barrier coating. These resins are costlier than UPR. But, their corrosionresistance, mechanical and thermal properties are much better than that of UPR. Therefore,the acceptance of epoxy, vinyl ester, acrylic and poly urethane resins are becoming are whichis strait impact in the growth of the UPR market.

Demand and Supply Gap:Rising global demand for paints & coatings in various industrial applications is one of themajor drivers for growth of there in a market. Unsaturated polyester resins (UPR) are knownfor their commercial usage in fibreglass reinforced plastics (FRP) which are utilized inbuilding & constructions, marine, wind energy, electrical & electronics, pipes & tanks and automotive/transportation. The unsaturated polyester resin market in India is suspended togrow substantially in the next five years. The market is mainly driven by domesticconsumption basically by government, NGOs and civic bodies. The Indian unsaturatedpolyester resin market showed strong growth in the last couple of years due to strong GDPgrowth, increased manufacturing activity and core-sector growth.

Imports v/s Indigenous Production:

Entech Laboratories


The state and pattern of growth of the economy determine there is in requirement. The requirements of resin may be fulfilled either through indigenous production and/or throughimports. It is not possible for a developing country to import huge quantities of resin becauseof foreign exchange constraints whereas it is better for a country to be self-sufficient in itsresin requirements. The products manufactured will substitute the imports, saving foreignexchange to India.

Export Possibility:There may be large opportunities to become a global supplier of quality resin. Also there exists abundant market opportunities in the neighbouring regions of Asia, Africa and the Middle East.

Domestic/Exports Markets:The finished goods will be sold in domestic market and would be largely exported to theRegulated International Market as per demand.

Employment generation (Direct & Indirect) due to the project:

The proposed project will generate direct employment to 20 personnel initially.

All the roads inside the plant is concreted to reduce any dust emissions.

During the production, the industry will carry out regular monitoring of fugitive emissions as per the factories Act.

Measures taken for fugitive emission control:

Proper storage of raw materials, products and fuels.Scrubber will provide with blenders.Ensuring closed feeding and sampling.Establishing SOPs for start-up, shut down and maintenance operational procedures.Regular work place monitoring and ambient air quality monitoring as per post project monitoring plan.Various types of solvents are used in the manufacturing process. These are handled in closed conditions. Good ventilation will be provided to reduce the concentration at the work place/room.

2.18.1 VOC MANAGEMENT PLAN

The VOC emission in unit may occur at different stages of solvent handling such as solvent storage, loading, unloading etc. The fugitive emissions of organic chemicals and VOCs mainly occur due to tank breathing losses, Leaking pipe fitting and valves, during maintenance operations. Following measures will be adopted to ensure compliance and further reduction.

The fugitive emissions in terms of handling losses are reduced by proper storage and handling.Hazardous chemicals will be stored as per standard criteria.Periodically monitoring will be carried out.Proper ventilation in storage & production area will be provided and all materials will be stored inSuitable packing to prevent contamination of air due to particulates & volatile emissions from storage container & area.Enclosed system & efficient procedures for materials charging will be provided.SOP’s for start-up, shut down, operation & maintenance will be established & maintained in all relevant area of works.

2.28 SCHEME FOR RAIN WATER HARVESTING

For rainwater harvesting calculations, areas like process and storage, Go-down, scrap yard etc. are excluded due tohaving chances of contamination.

Runoff water generated from Roof Top (admin block), Road area and green belt area can be used to store rain water for reuse. As per IMD data average rainfall of Vadodara is 855 mm/annum (0.855 m). The estimated runoff quantum using different run off coefficient applicable for roof top, Green belt and Roads is given below

From the above it is inferred that ~574 m3 effective run off water may likely to be available that can be stored in the proposed tank for reuse. Average rainwater available per day = 574 m3/365 days =1.57 m3/day. The likely storing capacity of proposed pond/tank will be 1 m× 1 m× 2 m i.e. to store ~1.57 m3/day

3.4. AIR ENVIRONMENT3.4.1. AMBIENT AIR QUALITY (AAQ) IN THE STUDY AREA

The collection of base line information for Air Environment includes identification of specific air pollutants being released into the atmosphere having significant impact on neighbourhood. The Ambient Air Quality status, with respect to the identified air pollutants, has been studied at eight major locations including project site. This has been done through Air Quality surveillance program and based on TOR.

The back-ground air quality for PM10, PM2.5, Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) was monitored. The monitoring for these parameters has been done at sites located in different directions and situated within the suspected impact zone, in and around the existing project site. We had considered minimum one monitoring station in the upwind direction and minimum one monitoring station in the pre dominant downwind direction at a location where maximum ground level concentration is likely to occur.

3.4.1.1. THE LOCATION OF AAQ STATIONS

The locations of the AAQ stations are based on prevailing meteorology, pollution source and available infrastructure facilities. One station has been particulary set-up in down winddirection.

Thus, monitoring has been done at eight sampling stations located in different directions and situated within the suspected impact zone in and around the existing project site.

The locations map of the AAQ monitoring station is shown in Figure No. 3.3 and tabulated in Table No. 3.5.

3.5. METEOROLOGY

Meteorological conditions, of the site, regulates the transport and diffusion of air-pollutants released into the atmosphere. Ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction and atmospheric stability are called primary or basic Meteorological Parameters because the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these Parameters. Humidity, precipitation, pressure and visibility are secondary Meteorological Parameters as this control the dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by affecting primary Parameters.

3.6. BASELINE DATA

Meteorological data were obtained from our own meteorological station kept at project site.for the parameters namely ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity for the period March, April and May 2019. The Wind Rose diagram for the month of March, April and May 2019 is shown in FIGURE NO. 3.4.

3.6.1. Ambient Temperature

The monthly variations of monthly highest and monthly lowest temperatures recorded are as follows:

Location –Project site Temperature, oCMarch 2019 April 2019 May 2019

Maximum 37.10 40.20 40.90Minimum 18.40 22.90 26.50

3.6.2. Wind Speed

Wind speed determines the rate of diffusion and travel time of air pollutants. The results of monitoring are as follows:

Location –Project Site Wind Velocity, Km/hrMarch 2019 April 2019 May 2019

Maximum 10.1 7.80 33.3Minimum Calm Calm Calm

3.6.3. Wind Direction

This is important in air pollution since it determines the direction of transport of air pollutants. The mean wind direction will be indicative of the direction of travel of the pollutants.

The meteorological parameters namely: ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction and stability class were obtained from our own meteorological station kept at Project Site for the Period of March – April – May - 2019.As specific mixing heights were not available, mixing height based on CPCB publication “Spatial Distribution of Hourly Mixing Depth over Indian Region”, PROBES/88/2002-03 has been used.

3.8. NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise, often defined as unwanted sound, interferes with speech communication, causes annoyance, distracts from work and disturbs sleep thus deteriorating quality of human environment.

The noise is generated from multiple sources such as medium and heavy industries, urban activities in the commercial and human settlements, and vehicular traffic in the region.

The noise level in the study area has been measured through Leutron sound level meter for a period of one day for 30 minutes interwal at each monitoring station.

In the study area noise levels were monitored in eight locations at different locations for day and night time and are given Table No.3.14

3.9. WATER QUALITY

Water is the most vital resource for all kinds of life. It should not only be available in sufficient quantity but should be of good quality as well. Defilement of water, as a result of human activities, industrial activities and consequent pollution of water, cause deterioration of the water environment.

3.9.1 BASELINE DATA COLLECTION OF GROUND WATER & SURFACE WATER

Physico-chemical Parameters have been used for assessing the base line quality of ground water environment and identification of impacts due to the proposed project.

Methodology for Water Quality Monitoring

The Samples, under all categories, were analysed for various Parameters specified by the Department of Environment. For the collection, preservation and analysis, APHA/IS methods were followed. The requisite Procedures, laid down in APHA/IS methods, were adopted for preserving the Samples with suitable preservative chemicals. The Samples were analysed within the time limits prescribed for each Parameter.

Ground water sources covering 10-km radial distance were examined for physico-chemical, heavy metals and bacteriological parameters in order to assess the effect of industrial and other activities on ground water and surface water. The samples were analyzed as per the procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA).

Samples for chemical analysis were collected in polyethylene carboys. Samples for bacteriological analysis were collected in sterilized glass bottles. Selected physicochemical and bacteriological parameters have been analyzed for projecting the existing water quality status in the study area. Parameters like pH and temperature were analyzed at the time of sample collection.

The details of ground water sampling locations are given in Table No. 3.16 and sampling locations of ground water quality monitoring are shown in Figure 3.3. The physico - chemical characteristics of the ground water samples are presented in the Table No. 3.17.

The monitoring has been done at eight sampling stations located in different directions andsituated within the suspected impact zone in and around the project site.

3.10. LAND ENVIRONMENT

3.10.1 GEOLOGY & HYDROGEOLOGY:

Probable sources of ground water pollution are percolation of treated & untreated effluent; hazardous waste (from storage area/generation source); and spillage of chemicals & fuel. The source of water is ground water hence increase in water demand during expansion will lead to depletion in ground water levels.The study area is a part of flat alluvial plain with an average elevation of 38m from Mean Sea Level of Village: Fofaliya Taluka: Dabhoi District: Vadodara, showing rugged to flat topography.The area is covered by quaternary alluvium which is made up of alternate layers of clay and sand. The alluvium formation is underlain by basalt of Deccan trap of upper Cretaceous to lower Eocene.It is observed that sediments at shallow depths up to 65 to 95 m. In general are uniform in character and composed of medium to fine sand, silt with minor clay lenses.Geohydrologically the area is suitable for the construction of shallow tube wells. The investigation area is characterized by variable groundwater conditions. The groundwater in the multi aquifer system occurs under unconfined to semi-confined conditions. Aquifer upto 75.00 depth is considered to be under unconfined condition.On the basis of survey carried out in the area, it is observed that permeable water bearing zones are expected to occur below a depth of 50m. Static Water level (SWL) in the tube wells varies from 35 to 40 m. b.g.l. Due to the medium scale pumping imposed on the aquifer system in and around the area, water level is more or less stable i.e not declining. At present, the drawdown is about 2.0 – 3.0 m annually. A study was carried out to see the impact on groundwater due to small and short duration pumping after constructing proposed Industry.Drawdown of pumping tube-well is about 1.88m at a pumping rate of 120LPM. Thetotal dissolved salts in ground water around investigated area varies from 950 ppm to 1250ppm.

Due to, for ground water balancing rain Water harvesting structures should be continuous pumping of ground water as well as in the absence of surface water sources and scary rainfallimplemented in the proposed area.

Geologically, entire area is covered with recent age deposits of fluvial and marine origin.Major part of the study area is covered with dark alluvial deposits which consist thickness of more than 200 m in the study area.The Narmada and the Mahi are the chief rivers of the district, flow along the north western and southern boundary respectively. The study area is drained by the Narmada river and it's tributaries.Ground water flow is found to be westerly towards river Mahi under confined conditions & so tube wells drilled in north-western or in south-western part, yield more ground water as compared to those drilled in eastern or in South eastern parts of the study area.Underground piping for effluent transfer is avoided as far as possible. Pucca flooring is done in ETP area to avoid any type of leakage that can be percolated into ground water. Hazardous waste is segregated at source and stored in hazardous waste storage area with impervious flooring.Unit will install rain water harvesting system within premises to collect and recharge rainwater. Rain water from proposed construction and paved area shall be recharged.

TYPE OF SOILS

The soils are medium black soil to deep black soil.in nature. In general the soils are poor to medium in fertility and water retention capacity. Soils are characterized by black to dark black loamy and clay loams of adequate to poor permeability.

pH value is found to be moderately alkaline.Organic Carbon is found to be medium to high which indicates soil of the some area is poor in fertility and some of them are fertile soil. Available potassium is medium to high and available phosphorous is found to be very low to high. Soil is salt-free.During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid & hazardous waste pollution on soil causes direct/ indirect effect on soil.Storage and handling of chemicals and hazardous waste may contaminate the soil. All the necessary control measures are provided for handling, storage and disposal, like designated storage area, leachate collection system etc. Thus, there will not be any significant impact of solid/hazardous waste on the soil environment. The effluent generated from domestic is disposed through soak pit; but soak pit is cleaned regularly to avoid soil pollution.

3.10.2 CHARACTERISTICS OF SOILS

BASE LINE DATA

The soil samples were collected from different places in the study area. The soil samples are taken from eight villages.

The present study on soil quality establishes the baseline characteristics in the study area surrounding the project site. The study has been addressed with the following objectives.

To determine the baseline characteristicsTo determine the soil characteristics of plant site and surrounding areas with in 10 km radius.To determine the impact of industrialization/Urbanization on soil characteristics.To determine the impacts on soils from agricultural productivity point of view.At each sampling site, the samples were collected at random at a depth of 15 cms and mixed together to form a composite sample. Large stones, gravels and plant roots were removed from soil.

The homogenized soil samples collected at different locations were packed in a polyethylene plastic bag and sealed. The sealed samples were sent to laboratory for analysis. The important physical, chemical parameter concentrations were determined from all samples. The soil was then crushed and water suspension was prepared. The supernatant liquid was then subjected to Physico-Chemical analysis.

Standard Procedures were followed for analysis. The results of soil analysis are tabulated in Table No. 3. 18

3.11 LAND USE PATTERN

Remote Sensing is a process of identification and demarcation of various earths’ objects from a distance without directly coming into contact with them. Remote sensing is largely concerned with the measurement of electromagnetic radiation from the sun, which is reflected, scattered, and emitted by the objects on the surface of the earth. Different objects on the surface of the earth reflect different amounts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The potential of remote sensing in natural resources mapping basically depends on spatial, radiometric and temporal resolution of the sensor. Thus the satellite remote sensing with its capability of repetitive coverage, multi-spectral imaging, synoptic view and low cost can play an important role in the delineation of various landuse landcover classes.

The Study Area up to 10 kms radius from the proposed project Site is considered. The locations is shown in Figure No. 3.1.

The important land uses, as classified by the Census Records, are the Grass land, Crop land, Fallow land, scrub land, barren land, trees, waterbody, settlements and industrial area.

Landuse and landcover distribution in the study area has been estimated using the satellite imagery of generated from Landsat ETM+ scene of October 2006 (Refer: Figure 3.7). The landuse and landcover pattern of the study area (10 km radial zone) has been studied by the same. The land use distribution in the study area (10 km radial zone) is presented in Table 3.19.

3.12 HYDROLOGY

Ground water occurs in alluvium formation. Though ground water occurs in all types of formation but most productive aquifer is quaternary sediments (alluvium). The main aquifer are alluvium and blown sand ones. Alluvium is an important formation with regards to the development of ground water in view of occurrence of highly permeable granular beds. Ground water occurs under both unconfined and confined conditions. The yield of the tube well varies from 120 lpm to 400 lpm.

The unconfined aquifer occurs in the upper horizons down to a maximum depth of 95mtr consisting of medium to coarse grained sand. The thickness of aquifer varies between 24m and 36m in general.

Geo-hydrologically study area is a part of Village: Fofaliya, Taluka: Dabhoi, District: Vadodara is suitable for the construction of shallow tube-well and recharge wells for artificial recharge/rain water harvesting structure. Construction of rain water harvesting structure will be helpful to maintain the Static Water level.

Vulnerability of Salinity Ingress

Entech Laboratories


The Vadodara district has main three hydrogeological provinces, Aravalli terrains, Deccan trap & associated Cretaceous sediments terrains and Alluvium areas.

Unit has installed rain water harvesting system within premises to collect and recharge rainwater. Rain water from proposed construction and paved area shall be recharged.

The depth to water is greater in upland areas whereas in valley portion and shallow grounds, the levels are very close to surface. In hilly terrain of eastern, north- east and south-east part of the district, spring zones are seen in stream river section; also along the section of the Mahi, the Narmada and the Orsang rivers. The piezometric surface, mainly in alluvium areas of western half the district also follows the gentle gradient corresponding to subsurface configuration of deep aquifer zones.

Inferences drawn from the data collected by the analysis and investigation carried out in the area are listed below.

Geomorphologically, the study area is flat in nature.Geologically, the area is underlain by Quaternary/Tertiary continental sediments alluvium and older formations. These sediments are mainly consisted by coarse Sand, gravel, clay .The occurrence and movement of groundwater is mainly controlled by intergranular pore space.Sub-surface geology of the area shows permeable and fully developed aquifer system.The quaternary aquifers are generally coarse to fine grained Sand with occasional gravel bed.Un-confined to Semi-confined ground Water level in the study area ranges around from 35 to 40 m. The yield of Tube-wells varies from 120 to 400 lpm.The depth of production tube wells in general varies from78 to 90 m. The study area falls under safe category.

RECOMMENDATIONS:-

Based on the geological & geohydrological study the following recommendations are drawn

for augmenting ground water and balancing ground water by means of rain water harvesting

structure.

Existing one tube-well is capable to fulfil present per annum fresh groundwater requirement.

The area is suitable for rain water harvesting by constructing recharge well, water bodies

like ponds, check dams, nalla bund, gully plug in nearby villages.

The aquifer are un-confined to semi-confined/confined having intake capacity of clear water

approximate 4LPS i.e. 14.4 m^3 per hour. One recharge bore-well can store approximate

10368 m^3 clear rain water in 30days.

Entech Laboratories


Suggested for constructing one recharge tube well having depth 60m to 70m and pipe Dia

200mm.

The available gross rain fall recharge is 5762 m3 which is three times of the Water to be

recharged .

The study area falls under SAFE category as per GWRE report 2009 approved by CGWA

Delhi if the study area lies under safe category as per CGWA guidelines (w.e.f 15/12/2010)

for evaluating of proposal for ground water balance in such areas, ground water

development is permitted only 100% of recharge quantity or recharge to ground water

should be 50% of the ground water pumped through tube-well.

Presently it seems no impact on groundwater level due to small pumping of 5500 liters per

day.

3.15 Traffic Survey

To determine current traffic volumes on the road, the traffic studies have been accomplished. This study gives an idea about expected future traffic volumes as a part of overall impact assessment forthe project. The traffic densities may vary based on working days and time, and also may vary in day and night times. This survey was conducted during normal working day to get details of traffic density. NH-48 is 2.86 km from project site, hence traffic density study was conducted at said location. The vehicles moving in both the directions were counted continuously for 24 hours at one location. The vehicles were counted every hour and recorded under respective category. The maximum traffic count in an hour is termed as peak hour traffic. The vehicles were categorized under various heads like heavy motor vehicles such as buses, trucks and tankers, light motor vehicles (cars, jeeps), three wheelers (auto rickshaws, tempo etc.) two wheelers (scooters, motor cycles) etc. The summary of daily traffic density in terms of PCU for the locations were monitored during the study period is summarized below. It was observed that the cars/jeeps and trucks/buses forms the major volume of the traffic. The overall total traffic PCU of this road is minimal. The present level of traffic in terms of Passenger Car Units (PCU) at these locations as per the conversion factors stipulated by Indian Road Congress (IRC) is presented below:

CHAPTER 4

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an activity or an attempt to identify, predict, evaluate and communicate the likely environmental impacts of the proposed project on the surrounding environment.

The major element involved in the process of Environmental Impact Assessment is the Identification of impacts as it forms the basis for quantification and evaluation of impacts. In this section, the impacts on the environment, either beneficial or deleterious due to the proposed project have been identified. The aspects of the environment, which are likely to be disturbed or damaged due to the proposed project, are represented as parameters.

Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment studies for quantification and evaluation of impacts. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of developmental activities on physical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction of impacts helps in minimizing the impacts on environmental quality during the post project execution.

The identified impacts for various components of environment viz. air, noise, water, land, socio-economy etc. are presented herewith. EIA is an activity or an attempt to identify, predict, evaluate and communicate the likely environmental impacts of the activity/project on the environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY INCLUDES:

Identification of all the probable impacts (be it positive or negative) of the various activities involved in the completion of the project.

Classification of the probable impacts i.e. positive or negative, reversible or irreversible, short term or long term.

Evaluation of the probable impacts i.e. qualitative and quantitative assessment of the likely impacts.

Communication to the general public, interested parties, controlling authorities (Government or Municipality) through a Public Hearing process, revealing all the probable impacts, which are likely to occur due to the Proposed project, on the environment. It also includes the mitigation measures of those impacts, which are inevitable.

This chapter presents the identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts with mitigation measures of the proposed expansion project of M/s. Kemz Resibond Private Limited on the identified parameters in the baseline environmental status.

Entech Laboratories


4.2 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION

Considering that identification of significant environmental impact is essential in the preparation of EIA report, an attempt has been made here through the use of “Activity Effect” Matrix.

IDENTIFICATION MATRIXThe impact identification matrix is shown in the Table No. 4.1. For simplicity the entire project has been divided into two phases:

1. Construction Phase

2. Operation Phase

Various activities belonging to each phase have been grouped separately and arranged in Columns. The environmental Factor or Parameter, which are anticipated to be impacted, has been arranged in Rows. A preliminary scrutiny has been done and the cells, which fall at the junction of the ‘Activity’ and ‘Factor’, that have possible interaction with each other, have been ‘marked’.

The matrix thus establishes the possible ‘cause-effect’ relationship and identifies the environmental factors likely to be impacted and activities responsible for the same. The impact identified may be positive and negative, short term and long term, reversible and irreversible, minor and major. This determination will be done at prediction stage.

A. Construction Phase

Unit will carry out construction activity for manufacturing area, internal roads, housing colony etc. will be done. The various activities involved in construction phase of a proposed project are listed below:Transportation of construction materials required for modification of existing structure ExcavationMaterial handlingMinor civil construction/Modification of existing civil structure.Erection/Installations of equipment and machineryEmployment of labourGreen belt development

B. Operational Phase

The activities involved in the operation phase of the proposed project are listed below:Raw material handling and StorageProduct Manufacturing Utility ConsumptionProduct Handling & StorageTransportationEffluent GenerationGaseous EmissionsHazardous Waste Generation EmploymentGreen belt development

Entech Laboratories


4.3 IMPACT PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT WITH MITIGATIVE MEASURES:

This section is devoted to the prediction and assessment of impacts, which are the most important components of EIA. Such predictions are superimposed over the base-line status of the environmental quality to derive the ultimate environmental scenario.

Prediction involves determination of the nature and extent of the probable impacts due to the proposed Project. Here it is determined, whether the likely environmental impacts are:

1. Positive or Negative2. Long term or Short term

Prediction of impacts during the construction and operational phase is as Shown in Table No 4.2.

Unit will establish full infrastructure for the proposed plant. However, there will be short term negligible impacts during this phase and mitigation measures for the same are proposed as under.

Based on Environmental Impact Analysis, the Environmental Impacts under this step are quantitatively and qualitatively assessed.

Quantitative assessment with the help of a mathematical model has been done wherever possible. In other cases, the impact assessment has been qualitative which is based on available scientific knowledge and judgment.

The mathematical model used for prediction in the present study includes “Aermod view” model for ambient air quality. For other cases i.e. Water, Noise, Land/Soil, Ecology, Socioeconomic etc., the available scientific knowledge and judgments have been used.

Entech Laboratories


4.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT

A. Impact during Construction Phase:-

The impacts during construction phase will be short-term impacts as they will be limited to the period of construction.

These activities may result in temporary increase in SPM levels, primarily, in the working environment.

Main Impacts during construction period is dusting and Air Pollution from vehicles.

There will be impact on Air Environment during construction phase and also during operation phase. The impact during construction phase will be short term and reversible.

The main sources of emission during the construction period are the movement of equipment at site and dust emitted during handling, grading, earthwork, and exhaust emissions from vehicles and equipment deployed during the construction phase is also likely to result in marginal increase in the levels of SO2 , NOx, SPM and CO.

B. Mitigation measures during Construction Phase :-

The activities like site development, construction and vehicular traffic contribute to increase in SPM and NOx concentrations. The mitigation measures recommended to minimize the impacts are:

Water sprinkling in construction area. Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment.Proper traffic management to be follow during loading and unloading of construction

material.The heights, from which materials will be dropped, will be the minimum practical height to

limit fugitive dust generation.Tree plantation in the area earmarked for greenbelt development.

Hence, the impacts on ambient air quality during construction phase will be marginal temporarily and reversible in nature (for short duration) and restricted to small plant area only.

Entech Laboratories


C. Impact during Operational Phase:-

The impacts on air quality from project depend on various factors like design capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material, fuel to be used, air pollution control measures, operation and maintenance. Apart from the above, other activities associated with transportation of fuel, raw materials and finished products, storage facilities and material handling within the plant premises may also contribute to air pollution.

1. Source of Air Pollution

The operational phase activities are expected to have long - term impacts on the air quality. The main sources from project are Flue gas emission, Process gas emission, Fugitive emission etc.

i. Flue gas Emissions

Thermic Fluid Heater will be the main sources of emissions from the Plant. The unit is going to use LDO as a fuel in TFH.

Further, it may be noted that the impacts due to utility operations would be negligible as the LDO will be used as fuel.

PM, SO2 and NOx are the main air pollutants generated from the TFH. The emissions TFH Stack is given in Table No. 4.3.

For control of flue gas emissions below permissible limit, the unit will provide adequate stack height.

Based on the above stated facts, predictions related to the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) have taken into account the flue gas emissions from the proposed flue gas stack.

ii. Process/Fugitive Emissions

Reactors & Blenders will be the minor source of process emission from the plant. VOCs are the air pollutants generated from the blender during loading of material and for the same scrubber will be provided.

Scrubber will be provide with the reactors & blenders to control of VOCs.

Fugitive emission details with its mitigation measures:Entire process will be carried out in the closed reactors with proper maintenance of

pressure and temperature. No any type of major process gas emission from proposed unit. In proposed resin manufacturing process, First the raw materials will be mixed in the closed reactor vessel. Once the desired parameters will be achieved, the product will be cooled and transferred to blender with very slow rate. In blender equipped with water jacket, unit willmaintain temperature less than 70°C means below the vaporization point of Styrene Monomer / Xylene. However, unit has proposed to provide the scrubber with blender due to any rarely circumstances if acid fumes will generate.

iii. Prediction of Impacts on Air Environment

The concentration of pollutants at the ground level has been computed using computer model viz. AERMOD to assess the impact of source emissions from the proposed stack which will be installed. Mathematical modeling is an established and accepted technique to predict the air quality.

In this study, impact on environment due to the proposed plant has been assessed with the help of Mathematical modeling following the Central Pollution Control Boards Guidelines. The mathematical model used for conducting the study is the latest version of AERMOD developed by the Lakes Environmental Software, which is entirely in line with the requirements of Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi.

A mathematical model developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is used for calculating GLCs. This is based, on the original Gaussian Plume Model equation but is defined in terms related to atmospheric phenomenon. The average and maximum Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) have been determined for SPM, SO2 ,and NOx, . The average 24hrs. concentrations have been determined in polar grid of 100 up to 3600 for a distance of 500m, 1000m, 2000m, 2500m, 3000m, 3100 m, 3400m, 4000m, 5000m, 7500m, and 10000 m. has been calculated based on the micro-meteorological data collected from the meteorological station kept at the project site of M/s.

Methodology :

Prediction of GLC values are made by using AERMOD software approved by U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and has adopted it as its regulatory model since 2005. In point source emissions, the stacks are subjected to plume rise which again is dependent on force of buoyancy and momentum. The higher is the plume rise or stack, the lesser will be ground level concentrations (GLC’s).The emissions when released into the atmosphere are subjected to transportation, dispersion, transformation, and fall out and wash out and finally reach the ground level at a particular distance and concentrations. The relationship between the source of emissions and its magnitude with the ground level concentrations (GLC’s) at receptor points is governed by air dispersion models which take into the account by the source strength, plume rise, atmospheric stability, mixing height, wind velocity, terrain and other meteorological conditions. The comparison between the predicted and field sampled downwind concentrations for SPM, SO2 ,and NOx (µg/m3) will be carried out in this study to predict the average downwind ground level concentrations (GLC’s)

Data Used for Computation

Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term incremental GLC values of PM, SO2 & NOx, using the meteorological data collected during the March – April – May 2019. Details of the data used for computations are given below

Meteorological Data

The meteorological data recorded continuously during the month of March 2019 to May 2019, on hourly basis. AERMOD model requires hourly surface data values for wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity and cloud cover. Both data files for the surface and profile files were then used to generate the meteorological file required by the AERMOD dispersion model using the AERMET meteorological pre-processor. This AERMET has three

Entech Laboratories


stages to process the data. The first stage extracts meteorological data and assesses data quality through a series of quality assessment checks. The second stage merges all data available for 24-hour periods and writes these data together in a single intermediate file. The third and final stage reads the merged meteorological data and estimates the necessary boundary layer parameters for dispersion calculations by AERMOD.

Dispersion Modeling Results

The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from plant have been computed for PM, SO2 & NOx, considering topographical features around the plant and applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC values for PM, SO2 & NOx, from plant are given in Table No. 4.4. Corresponding isopleths plotted are shown in Figure 4.1 to Figure No. 4.3 for of PM, SO2 & NOx.

The results of the GLCs are given in the Table No. 4.4

When the above stated GLCs results are added in to the average ambient air parameters it gives overall AAQ of the surrounding study area.

Air quality contours are shown in the Figure No. 4.1 to 4.3

Note :-(*) This predicted maximum Ground Level Concentration (GLC) is based on worst case scenario, considering maximum stack emission limit of SPM-150 mg/Nm3, SO2 100 PPM and NOx-50 PPM. As the actual emissions will be well below this predicted GLCs.

With this marginal contribution due to the proposal of the project, the levels of PM, SO2 & NOx will remain below the 24 –hourly ambient air quality standards for SO2 & NOx (80

cause any significant impact on the ambient air quality of the study area.

The Dispersion modeling assumptions are considered as follows:

1. The receptor locations for 36 wind directions starting with 10 degrees and incrementing with 100 up to 3600 for a distance of 500m, 1000m, 2000m, 2500m, 3000m, 3100 m, 3400m, 4000m, 5000m, 7500m, and 10000 m. has been taken for the Air Quality Modelling.

2. The impacts of the pollutants were identified up to 10000 meters.3. The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT.4. Stability Class was evaluated based on Temperature Profile and Cloud Cover.5. The mathematical equations used for the dispersion modelling assumes that the earth surface

acts as a perfect reflector of plume and physic-chemical process, such as dry and wet deposition, and chemical transformation of pollutants are negligible.

6. The micro-meteorological data viz. Temperature, Wind Speed and Wind Direction has been collected from the meteorological station kept at the project site of M/s. Kemz Resibond Private Limited.

v. Assessment of Impact on Air Quality

Base line study reveals that the levels of various pollutants like PM, SO2 and NOx etc. in the ambient air of surrounding study area are well within the limits stipulated by National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standard for Residential, Rural and other areas.

It can be seen from Table No. 4.4 that the maximum predicted 24 hours GLC(s) of all the pollutants i.e., PM, SO2 and NOx and its incremental concentrations on baseline value is below the NAAQS.

Thus, it can be concluded that, with proposed emissions from the Plant, the Ambient Air Quality within the industrial premises as well as in the surrounding study area will not exceed the NAAQ standards and hence there is no significant adverse impact on Ambient Air Quality.

D. Mitigation Measures for Air Environment during Operational Phase

The industry will take measures for reduction of fugitive emissions emanating out of process reactions by providing vent condensers.

Good ventilation will be provided to reduce the work room concentrations.

Fugitive emissions will be reduced by providing vent condensers to all the reactors.

Adequate stack height of 12 m will be provided to the TFH.

Stack monitoring facilities for t he periodic monitoring of the stack to verify the compliance of the stipulated norms.

For control of process gas emissions scrubbing system will be provided with suitable scrubbing media.

In order to minimize the air pollution, unit will develop greenbelt in and around its premises.

Entech Laboratories


4.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT

A. Impact During Construction Phase

Impact on water quality during construction phase / foundation work will be marginal and confined to use of water by workers only.

The existing sewer facility will be utilized by the temporary construction workforce or mobile toilets will get arranged for workers and proper site management will minimize the surface water runoff and soil erosion.

The water required for construction will be met by Water Tanker at site.

The quality of both surface and groundwater may also deteriorate in regard to the labour camps likely to be developed during the construction phase if proper solid waste management practices are not adopted. Good housekeeping should be practiced like handling and disposing of solid waste i.e. debris to enter from drainage column.

The baseline status of water quality in the core and buffer zone area has been established through sampling and analysis of various water quality parameters as part of the baseline environmental monitoring. Water samples collected from 14 locations in the core and the buffer zone of 10 km radius of the project area during the study period. The prime objective of the baseline water quality study was to establish the existing water quality in the study area and to evaluate the anticipated impact of the proposed project activity on water quality and to suggest appropriate mitigation measures for implementation. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to the standards of water quality during the construction and implementation/ operational phase of the project. The contamination of groundwater might occur due to the irrational disposal of liquid wastes.

Mitigation measures :

Adequate sanitation facilities will be provided to the workers.

The existing sewer facility will be utilized by the temporary construction workforce or mobile toilets will get arranged for workers.

Proper site management will minimize the surface water runoff and soil erosion.

Good housekeeping should be practiced like handling and disposing of solid waste

Entech Laboratories


B. Impact During Operation Phase

The unit will segregate the waste streams for effective treatment.

Domestic Wastewater @ 1.2 KL/day will be disposed off through Soak Pit/Septic Tank System.

Industrial Effluent generation @ 3.5 KL/day will be sent to ETP for Primary treatment and then it will be evaporated in Evaporated System.

So, unit will achieve Zero Liquid Discharge.

Thus, it can be concluded that negligible impact on surrounding water environment is caused. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly adhered as mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 10, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.

C. Mitigation Measures for Water Environment during Operational Phase :-

Skilled manpower will be deployed for continuous and efficient operation of ETP.

Domestic wastewater will be disposed of through soak pit system via septic tank.

Minimization of water use providing drip system for gardening.

Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor and process equipment to reduce the amount of wastewater generated during washings.

Entech Laboratories


4.6 SOLID/ HAZARDOUS WASTE :

A. Impact of Solid / hazardous waste during Construction Phase:-

Improper disposal of debris, used oil, faulty and replaced spares, tyres and tubes and diesel for DG sets will result in surface and groundwater contamination and in turn affects the drainage of the area. As such proper housekeeping programme needs to be formulated for proper disposal of solid and liquid wastes.

B. Impact of Solid / hazardous waste during Operation Phase:-

The details of hazardous waste to be generated from the proposed project, is mentioned at Chapter -2. The proposed practice of storage of generated hazardous waste, in a closed room having an impervious bottom, and disposed of as per the prescribed guidelines will be continued for the generation of hazardous waste. Hence, the impact due to the same will be negligible as the handling of hazardous waste to be generated will be disposed as per guidelines. The details of solid/Hazardous waste details are shown in below Table No.4.9.

C. Measures for hazardous/solid waste during Operational phase :-

To reduce the quantity of solid/hazardous waste generation as well as possible contamination of land(soil) due to spillages/leakages from the plant operations, following Mitigationmeasures will be implemented:

There will not be any leakages/spillage from the raw-materials storage and from the storage of generated effluent from the project.

The generated Hazardous waste will be stored on floor with suitable packing and this dedicated area will be covered with the roof.

There cordson quantity of hazardous waste generation and disposal will be maintained for each category and possibilities will be explored for minimization and reuse.

Classification of waste

Collection, Storage, Transportation & disposed/sale to authorized recycler or re-user.

Data Management and Reporting

Personnel Training to the workers and employees.

The leakages of oil spills from machinery shall be collected in leak proof barrels and then disposed of to SPCB authorized dealers.

Entech Laboratories


4.7 NOISE ENVIRONMENT :-

A. Impact during Construction Phase

There will be slightly increase in noise level during construction phase due to construction activity and movement of vehicles. But it is restricted to construction phase only and it will occur during daytime, when construction activities will be in progress.

B. Mitigation measures during Construction Phase :-

Recommended mitigation measures are:

Good maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment.

Restriction of construction activities to day time only.

All vehicles entering the project site will be informed to maintain speed limits and not blow horns unless it is required.

The noise generated from construction machinery will be kept low by keeping the moving parts serviced and properly lubricated.

Plantation of trees around the plant boundary to attenuate the noise.

C. Impact during Operational Phase :-

As per observations, the Ambient Noise Level is within norms of Industrial Area. With the implementation of the mitigation measures proposed, the noise levels at plant boundaries will be well below the limits specified for industrial areas.

The major sources contributing to Noise pollution during the plant operation will be Compressor, TFH, Pumps etc. The operation of the equipment will generate noise ranging between 70-80 dB (A). The occasional noise is being attenuated by the development of green belt in and around the industry, which will be taken up right from the construction phase. Also ear protecting devices will be provided for personnel working in high noise generating zone.

The main sources of noise pollution in the plant are TFH, Reactors, DG Set, and other Noise generating units. Vehicular movements during operation phase for loading/unloading of raw materials and finished products and transporting activity may also increase noise level. Noise levels in the ambient air are well within the permissible limits given by the National Ambient Noise level standards as confirmed during baseline study. Leq values of the noise levels within the plant premises will be kept less than 75db [A] [during day time] and 70db[B] [during night time] which will be within the permissible limit.

Thus, there is practically no impact on surrounding environment.

Entech Laboratories


D. Mitigation Measures for Noise level during Operational Phase :

To minimize the noise pollution the unit proposes the following noise control measures:

Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffer sand or protective measures will be provided if required (wherever noise level is more than 90 dB(A)).

Employees will be provided with earplugs or earmuffs where exposure is 85 dB (A) or more.

Vehicles will be regularly maintained and optimum use of the same will be made.

Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance is be carried out for the machineries and equipment to reduce noise generation and will be adopted for proposed expansion.

For DG Set and other high noise generating equipment acoustic enclosures shall be provided and also will be provide sufficient Green Belt Development area.

Entech Laboratories


4.8 LAND/SOIL ENVIRONMENT :

A. Impact during Construction Phase:-

In proposed unit needs to do Excavation for plant activity. Unit will do construction activity for proposed foundation work. Hence there will be minor impact on the surrounding soil environment and there will be only change in Land Use Pattern for the project site.

Present Land use of the site is open land. Proposed production activity will be done in premises of the unit. Hence, there will be change of existing land use pattern only for the project site.

The activities of proposed products will be confined within the plant site premises. During construction works, top soil generated from various activities like excavation etc. will be stored and preserved to use it during restoration period as far as possible. There will be no disposal of wastewater on land. Hazardous wastes will be stored at earmarked area with impervious flooring, shed and spillage/ leakage collection system to eliminate rainwater contamination, chances of overflow / spillages going on to the land and thus land/ soil contamination.

B. Mitigation measures during Construction Phase :-:

The earthen material generated during excavations and site grading periods, will be properly dumped and slope stabilization shall be taken. The topsoil generated during construction shall be preserved and reused for plantations.

Hence, no significant negative impact is envisaged on the surrounding soil quality due to presence of solid / hazardous waste within the plant premises.

C. Impact during Operation Phase

Source emission, wastewater and hazardous waste generation from any project activity affects the soil environment.

The impact due to air causes direct/indirect effect on soil. The emissions of SPM during operation will be effectively controlled. There will be practically no effect on the soil quality due to air emissions.

Domestic effluent will be discharged to soak pit and septic tank system. Wastewater generated from the Industrial activity will be treated in Effluent Treatment Plant and finally it will be evaporated in the Evaporation System

As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2016, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated will be taken for the proposed project activity.

Hence, due to the proposed project the land use pattern; land cover and topography of the area will be changed only for the project premises.

Entech Laboratories


D. Mitigation Measures during Operational Phase :

The unit will use LDO as a fuel for TFH and ha ve a stack height of 12 m respectively. There will be no process gas emissions from the proposed product manufacturing.

Effluent water generated from all streams of the proposed project will be treated in Primary Treatment plant and finally treated effluent will be evaporated in the Evaporation System.

Solid / hazardous waste generated is being stored separately in Hazardous Waste storage area within the factory premises and disposed as per guidelines.

The hazardous waste storage area has non-percolating RCC floor and covered roof.

Any spillage of raw material, water and waste water resulting in local contamination of soil, such soil will be recovered from ground and will be sent as hazardous waste for final disposal to TSDF site. All possible recyclable/reusable wastes shall be reused/ recycled within the premises itself.

Greenbelt development shall be taken in and around the premises so as to avoid soil erosion.

Entech Laboratories


4.9 ECOLOGY:


Any construction activity brings changes in some components of the local Terrestrial ecosystem. These adverse impacts are restricted to the project Construction site and to some extent it's immediate surroundings.

The proposed project will not involve removal of any vegetation from the soil and loosening of the topsoil generally causes soil erosion as it is. However, such impacts will be confined to the plant site and will be minimized through paving and water sprinkling and greenbelt development. Thus, there will no major adverse impacts are envisaged on ecological environment due to project activities.

B. Mitigation measures during construction phase :

During construction, small shrubs in the plant premises are required to be cleared. The measures required to be undertaken to minimize the impact on the ecology are:

The felling of trees will be kept at minimum.Adequate Greenbelt will be developed.

C. Impact during Operation Phase :-

Impacts on terrestrial ecosystem can occur due to operation of the any industrial project mainly from air emissions, liquid effluents as well as hazardous wastes generation, which can interfere with the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem and may induce injurious effects when concentrations exceed permissible standards.

The proposed project will be carried out on land within M/s. Kemz Resibond Private Limitedwithout cutting of any trees. The proposed project does not alter the crop pattern and natural vegetation of the surrounding area.

Due to the safe control technology of air pollutants, liquid effluents and hazardous wastes disposal, no impact on the surrounding ecology is anticipated.

Development of additional greenbelt/green area will improve the ecological Environment of the surrounding areas.

Entech Laboratories


Prediction of impacts is based both on the direct and indirect; short-term as well as long-term; reversible and irreversible impacts that are most likely to occur owing to the industrial activity during establishment and operation. The ecological factors that are considered most significant as far as the impact on flora and fauna are concerned:

1. Whether there shall be any reduction in species diversity.

2. Whether there shall be any habitat loss or fragmentation.

3. Whether there shall be any risk or threat to the rare or endangered or endemic or threatened (REET) species.

4. Whether there shall be any impairment of ecological functions such as (i) disruption of food chains (ii) decline in species population and/or (iii) alterations inpredator-prey relationships.

Negative Impacts:

As there is change in the land use and land cover on account of the proposed project, the proposed action is not going to have any direct and significant negative impacts of flora and fauna or biodiversity.

Most probable Scenario:

As stated earlier, it is a new project there will be change in the land use and land cover within the project site. No damage is going to be done to the existing green cover within the project site. Except for a few weeds, there are only cultivated plants and no RET species in the core area. No species is going to be lost on account of the proposed project. No direct or indirect damage is expected to the flora and fauna of the buffer zone. Further, as there are no rare or endangered or endemic or threatened (REET) species, the project does not pose any threat to the flora and fauna of the study area. As the industry is required to operate and maintain the emissions and effluents within the limits specified by the CPCB / SPCB, the effects of the industry on the flora and fauna of the buffer zone may be negligible. Neither the storm water nor the effluent water nor any other kind of rain or waste water from the industry shall get in to the drinking water resources.

D. Mitigation Measures during Operational Phase :-

The measures required to be undertaken to minimize the impact on the ecology are:

The felling of trees will be kept at minimum.Adequate Greenbelt will be developed.

Entech Laboratories


4.10 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT:

During search of land by the unit for proposed Project, one land at survey no. 672, ParikhaVillage, Dabhoi Taluka, but there was GOUCHAR land between survey no. 672 and road,So it was left by the unit and after that the unit had found another land at survey no. 627, Parikha Village, Dabhoi Taluka. It was found that during the year 1951, the land was given by some trust by their ancestors, so it was again dropped.

Finally, the unit has selected this land which is fulfilling all criteria for setting up the proposed project. The proposed unit is in an area of 7551 Sq. meter and will have al l the infrastructure facilities very near by the plant. Land, water sources, material transportation and power etc.are available without any difficulty and the site is also well connected to NH - 48 (Chennai –Delhi).

The supporting factors for site selection:

1. There is no protected area notified under the Wild Life (Protect ion) Act (1972) & Eco-sensitive area notified under Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act- 1986 exists within 10 Km radius areas from the Plant Site.

2. The raw materials required for the production of all the proposed products is easily available in the vicinity of the project site because of the proximity to the industrial chemical markets at Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Vadodara and Padra . This will reduce both the cost of raw material transportation and the associated risk.

The Application in Form-1 was made to State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), Gujarat for obtaining the related Environmental Clearance. The proposal was considered by State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) in its meeting held on 24th May 2019 and has issued the recommendations to SEIAA. SEIAA has issued Terms of Refrences (TORs) for carrying out Environmental Impact Assessment study vide letter No. SEIAA/ GUJ/ TOR/5(f)/1093/2019, Dated: 30/07/2019.

All the aspects of the TORs are incorporated in the draft EIA/EMP report, the same may be submitted to the Gujarat Pollution Control Board (GPCB) for conducting public hearing/public consultation as per EIA Notification, 2006 as well as MoEF&CC’s O.M. J-11011/321/2016-IA .II (I), 27-04-2018.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT

7.2.1 INTRODUCTION

Industrial activities including production, storage, handling, transportation and operational practices presents levels of hazards to workforce, population and environment at large due to accidents, spills, leaks etc. These accidents results in personal and financial loss. The assessment of the threat posed, its control and prevention through good design, management and operational controls is of primal importance.

The QRA report signifies that trained & skilled employees and supporting services can achieve improved safety & productivity levels. Together they can also achieve low maintenance cost, optimized use of Raw materials and negligible rejections/ wastes.

The project is advised to equip with a well-planned Disaster Management Plan as an essential Mitigation Control Measure.

Substantial information is given in the chapter preventive measures of QRA, for choosing Plant and Equipment which will ensure PRODUCT SAFETY.

A good Legal & Regulatory Compliance Register shall be planned and be in place. All the Rules and Regulations of the land shall be strictly followed to achieve a hindrance free operation of the plant from the statutory point of view.

A good Safety Manual shall be planned and be in place. All the requirements of Safety & Health of the operating plant shall be an essential part of the manual. The Safety manual will serve as a good communication medium to the employees of the plant. The systems to be

Entech Laboratories


complied by the operating level employees as part of their responsibilities and the operational requirements of the system will be readily available in the manual at their disposal.

Risk Assessment study includes predictions of the Worst Case Scenario (catastrophic failure) and Maximum Credible Accident Scenario along with damage distances and preparedness plan for effectively combating such situations. The report also discusses and demarcates the vulnerable zones and a detailed fire control plan for flammable substances.

No plan is complete or total of its requirements and its scope of improvement is a continuous process. Hence, the Risk Assessment Report is to be reviewed and updated as and when:

any expansion, alteration, or extension of the plant is planned / implementedan incident has occurred and been dealt with, based on feedback gathered on any shortcomings in the handling of the situationany feedback is received from the users of the report

Risk Assessment is therefore defined as a continuous and integrated process of identification, evaluation, and measurement of risks, along with their potential impact on the organization.

Objectives of Risk Assessment:

Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and assessments of risks to the neighbouring population is exposed to as a result of hazards present. This requires a thorough knowledge of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of population etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum credible accident studies.

Risk assessment is carried out for the following objectives:1. To identify hazard and risk resulting from the hazards2. To study and foresee the effects of such risks on the workers, public, property and environment and to find out necessary control measures to prevent or minimize risk.3. To comply the legal requirement by various safety and environment laws of the country like.

The Factories Act, 1948 / The Gujarat Factories Act, 1963The Environment Protection Act and Rules, 1986Hazardous waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 1989Public Liability Insurance Act & Rules,1991Chemical Accident, (Emergency, planning, preparedness and response) Rules, 1996.

4. To get the necessary information for Emergency planning and evacuation.

The benefits of risk assessment include the following:

Mitigation or reduction of the risk of an incident.Mitigation of the severity and/or consequences by way of improved process techniques, fire protection systems, arrangements of storage, inventory monitoring to fit production requirements.Confidence building in employees by improving competency.Preparedness and prompt response to deal with any accident

7.4 RISK IDENTIFICATION

Identification of risks is done qualitatively and quantitatively through the selection of hazardous substances and by studying the manufacturing process, to arrive at possible failures and their inherent causes. Probability of risk occurrence is also ascertained in order to determine the MAXIMUM CREDIBLE ACCIDENT SCENARIO and the WORST CASE SCENARIO.The risks are then analyzed quantitatively in terms of probability, and severity. The risks have also been rated according to the matrix R = Probability x Severity.

7.4.1 MAXIMUM CREDIBLE LOSS ACCIDENT SCENARIOS

A Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) can be characterized as the worst credible accident. In other words: an accident in an activity, resulting in the maximum consequence distance that is still believed to be possible. AMCA-analysis does not include a quantification of the probability of occurrence of the accident. Another aspect, in which the pessimistic approach of MCA studies appears, is the atmospheric condition that is used for dispersion calculations. As per the reference of the study, weather conditions having an average wind speed of 3.0 m/s have been chosen.

The Maximum Credible Loss (MCL) scenarios have been developed for the Facility. The MCL cases considered, attempt to include the worst “Credible” incidents- what constitutes a credible incident is always subjective. Nevertheless, guidelines have evolved over the years and based on basic engineering judgment, the cases have been found to be credible and modeling for assessing vulnerability zones is prepared accordingly. Only catastrophic cases have been considered and not partial or small failures (as is the case in Quantitative Risk Assessment where contributions from low frequency - high outcome effect as well as high frequency - low outcome events are distinguished). The objective of the study is emergency planning, hence only holistic & conservative assumptions are used for obvious reasons.

Entech Laboratories


Hence though the outcomes may look pessimistic, the planning for emergency concept should be borne in mind whilst interpreting the results.

7.4.2 DAMAGE CRITERIA

In consequence analysis, use is made of a number of calculation models to estimate the physical effects of an accident (spill of hazardous material) and to predict the damage (lethality, injury, material destruction) of the effects. The calculations can roughly be divided in three major groups:

1. Determination of the source strength parameters;2. Determination of the consequential effects;3. Determination of the damage or damage distances.

7.5 RISK ASSESSMENT AND CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

7.5.1 SOFTWARE USED FOR CALCULATIONS

ALOHA (Areal Locations of Hazardous Atmospheres):Aloha is a computer program designed especially for use by people responding to chemical accidents, as well as for emergency planning and training. ALOHA can predict the rates at which chemical vapors may escape into the atmosphere from broken gas pipes, leaking tanks, and evaporating puddles. It can then predict how a hazardous gas cloud might disperse in the atmosphere after an accidental chemical release.

ALOHA is an air dispersion model, which you can use as a tool for predicting the movement and dispersion of gases. It predicts pollutant concentrations downwind from the source of a spill, taking into consideration the physical characteristics of the spilled material. ALOHA also accounts for some of the physical characteristics of the release site, weather conditions, and the circumstances of the release. Like many computer programs, it can solve problems rapidly and provide results in a graphic, easy-to-use format. This can be helpful during an emergency response or planning for such a response.

ALOHA provides output as amount of chemical discharged from the source as well as its concentration in air it takes in to account different levels of concentrations for a specified chemical. Different concentration levels are given below:

ERPG 1: is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing other than mild transient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odor.

ERPG 2: is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms which could impair an individual's ability to take protective action.

ERPG 3: is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing life-threatening health effects.

Entech Laboratories


IDLH: The Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) level. A chemical's IDLH is an estimate of the maximum concentration in the air to which a healthy worker could be exposed without suffering permanent or escape-impairing health effects.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 INTRODUCTION

Environmental Management Plan is considered to be an Integral component of EIA process. EMP is essentially a road map that describes how the impact mitigation measures suggested in earlier chapters, will be implemented along with other measures concerned during different life cycle phases of project

Any industrial development is associated with certain positive impacts as well as some negative impacts on the environment. However, the negative or adverse impacts cannot possibly rule out scientific development. At the same time, adverse impacts cannot be neglected.

The Environmental Management Plan describes, in brief, the management's plan for proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for air and liquid pollutants and for maintaining the environment. It also includes development of green belts around the plant, proper safety of the workers, noise control, fire protection systems and measures.

10.2 THE ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operation (post construction) stages of the project. The plan also includes the actions needed for implementation of these measures. Overall objective of EMP:

Prevention: Measures aimed at impeding the occurrence of negative environmental impacts and/or preventing such an occurrence having harmful environmental impacts.Reduction at Source: Reduction at source by adopting Best Available Technology.Minimization: Limiting or reducing the degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse impacts.

The major components of the Environmental Management Plan are:Mitigation of potentially adverse impacts.Monitoring during project implementation and operation.Implementation schedule and environmental cost estimates.Integration of EMP with project planning, design, construction and operation.

The EMP has been designed keeping in view the regulatory and other requirements to ensure the following:Minimum disturbance to the native flora and fauna.Compliance with the air, water, soil and noise quality norms.Conservation of water to the extent possible.Encourage the socio-economic development.

Entech Laboratories


10.3 SCOPE & OBJECTIVES OF EMP

The main objective of Environmental Management Plan is to warrant that the industrial development in an identified particular study area needs to be entangled with judicious utilization of non-renewable resources and to ensure that the stress/load on the ecosystem is within its permissible assimilative capacity.

The main objectives in formulating this environmental management plan are:

To comply with all regulations stipulated by the Central / State Pollution Control Boards related to air emissions and liquid effluents discharges as per air and water pollution control laws.

To treat all the pollutants viz., liquid and gaseous which contribute to the degradation of the environment with appropriate technology.

To handle hazardous wastes as per the Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling & Transboundary Rules, 2016 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986.

To promote further afforestation in the surrounding areas of the Plant.

To create good working conditions (devoid of air and noise pollution) for employees.

To reduce fire and accident hazards.

Perspective budgeting and allocation of funds for environment management expenditure.

Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a cleaner and better environment.

Entech Laboratories


ENERGY CONSERVATION:

Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency are separate, but related concepts. Energy conservation is achieved when growth of energy consumption is reduced, measured in physical terms. Energy Conservation can, therefore, be the result of several processes or developments, such as productivity increase or technological progress. On the other hand Energy efficiency is achieved when energy intensity in a specific product, process or area of production or consumption is reduced without affecting output, consumption or comfort levels. Promotion of energy efficiency will contribute to energy conservation and is therefore an integral part of energy conservation promotional policies.

Energy efficiency means using less energy to perform the same function. Various measures taken will be as follows:

First step to conserve energy is to identify source of energy utilization.

Variable frequency drives (VFD) in pumps, whenever required is provided to save energy.

Use of low loss transformer instead of conventional transformer.

As far as possible the unit is planning to use solar street lights in the factory premises which is the renewable energy.

Proper air to fuel ratio is maintained for the maximum efficiency of thermic fluid heater.

Good insulation practice has been adopted to prevent heat losses.

Regular cleaning to the lamps and fixtures is done to get better illumination in the plant.

To avoid loss of precious quantum of energy, regular maintenance/ servicing is provided to all the equipments.

Unit is planning to conduct energy audit regularly as a tool for monitoring purpose.

Entech Laboratories


REUSE / RECYCLE:

Used oil from the plant & machineries is reused as a lubricant within plant and excess, if any is sold to authorize recyclers.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING:

Good housekeeping means changing existing practices or introducing new ways of operating and maintaining equipment. Proper good housekeeping can prevent accidents, spillages and leakages, raw material & product loses. For Good housekeeping following practices are adopted.

All the materials are stored in compatible group.

All pits, sumps are properly covered or securely fenced.

Appropriate tools are provided for handling of all the materials.

Regular training is given to all workforces.

All the passages, floors and stairways are maintained in good condition. The systemis made available to deal with any spillage at the plant. Sufficient disposable bins are clearly marked and these are suitably located in the plant.

In the plant, precaution and instructions are displayed at strategic locations. Proper working instructions are given to all the workers in factory.

CHAPTER 11

SUMMARY OF ENV. IMPACTS & CONCLUSION

11.1 INTRODUCTION

The environmental impacts of projects or actions generally encompass a broad range of impact from Air and Noise pollution to affect on employment and neighborhood as well as on social structure. All of these impacts vary in magnitude as well as in their beneficial or adverse classification. As a result, a natural question arises as to what is the “collective” or “overall” environmental impact of the project or action taken. Is the project beneficial or is it adverse? To answer such a question requires a comparison of these impacts and to some extent subjective evaluation of those impacts which are more important than others.

Environment Impact Assessment as detailed in previous chapter can now be concise to impact statement given below.

11.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Meteorological data collected during the study period March–April–May 2019 confirms that climatic Status of the study area is consistent with the regional meteorology.

Average concentration of ambient air quality parameters such as PM10, PM 2.5, SO2, NOxin the surrounding study area are well within the permissible limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standards for respective residential rural areas and industrial areas.

Further, it has may be noted that the impacts due to utility operations would be negligible as the LDO will be used as fuel. Hence, there would not be any major impacts due to emission. Adequate stack height with stack monitoring facilities will be provided. There are no any type of major process gas emissions.

Evaluated GLCs due to the proposed air pollution load. When added to the monitored existing ambient air quality, provides the expected ambient air quality when the fuel quantity will increase in proposed utility and the same indicates that expected AAQ are well within the permissible limit of National Ambient Air Quality Standards for residential rural areas as well as industrial areas.

It is concluded from the above that there will be a minor impact on the AAQ of the surrounding environment due to operation of the proposed expansion project.

11.4 WATER ENVIRONMENT

M/s. Kemz Resibond is a proposed unit and the source of water for proposed project will be from Bore-well.

The quality of the water was tested at eight locations in the study area. The ground water norms were compared to IS: 10500 (1991) for evaluation. The Industry generates process effluent apart from, Cooling Tower blow down and domestic effluent.

Wastewater Generation & Disposal:

Total wastewater generation will be 4.7 KLPD. Domestic Wastewater is 1.2 KL/day will be disposed of through Soak Pit/Septic Tank System.Total Industrial Effluent to the tune of 3.5 KL/day will be collected neutralized in the ETP and then evaporated.

Thus, it can be concluded that negligible impact on surrounding water environment is caused. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly adhered as mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 10, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.

Entech Laboratories


11.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Base line data indicates that noise levels in the study area are not on higher sides. Noise level in and around plant site were measured. Measured noise levels within premises indicate that overall noise levels are within the Damage Risk Criteria. The company will provide ear-protecting devices/ earplugs for working personnel exposed to high noise level. It can be concluded that there will be no impact on the noise level of the surrounding environment.

11.6 HAZARDOUS WASTES

As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2016, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated from the proposed project will be taken. Therefore, no impact of hazardous wastes generation on surrounding soil environment is anticipated.

11.7 ECOLOGY

The proposed project will be carried out on land without cutting of any trees. Also, the project site is located in non-agricultural land devoid of any permanent eco-system. So, it does not alter the crop pattern and natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Due to the safe control technology of air pollutants, liquid effluents and solid/hazardous wastes disposal, no impact on the surrounding ecology is anticipated.

11.8 SOCIO - ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The proposed project will generate direct employment 20 persons. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment. Implementation of this plant will also reduce production loss due to shortage of power.

Thus, the proposed project will have significant positive impacts on the employment pattern of the study area.

Entech Laboratories


11.9 LAND USE

Source emission, wastewater and hazardous waste generation from any project activity affects the soil environment.

Soil samples have been collected from 8 locations to ascertain its physical and chemical characteristics within study area. Physical parameter suggested that type of soil within study area is black cotton.

The plot is non a gricultural land and industrial activity will be c ar r ie d out for resin manufacturing. There are no ecosensitive areas such as forest, national park, wildlife sanctuary, biosphere reserves and wildlife corridors etc. located within 10km radius of project area.

The impact due to air causes direct/indirect effect on soil. The emissions of Particulate Matter during operation will be effectively controlled. There will be practically no effect on the soil quality due to air emissions.

Domestic effluent will be discharged to soak pit and septic tank system. Wastewater generated from the Industrial activity will be treated in Effluent Treatment Plant and then evaporated. The Hazardous Solid Waste will be disposed to TSDF site.

As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2016, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated will be taken for the proposed project.

Hence, due to the proposed project the, land use pattern; land cover and topography of the area will not be changed

11.10 CONCLUSION

It can be concluded on a positive note that due to the adequate provision and efficient operation of Environmental Management Systems and after the implementation of the proposed mitigation measures and environmental management plans, the proposed project activities during the construction and operation phase would have manageable & largely have reversible impacts on the environment, and on balance the project would be beneficial to surrounding communities and the region.
