INTRODUCTION

M/s Spaze Towers Pvt. Ltd. has made a collaboration agreement with land owners of land area

42540.72 sqm. On 23.10.2010 located at Khasra No. Survey No.5912 village Sihi, Gurgaon. The

land owners have obtained the license from DTCP (Directorate of Town & Country Planning),

Haryana on 23.03.2011.

M/S Spaze Towers Pvt. Ltd. has conceptualised the residential Group Housing on above area

and obtained approval of building plan in 1403.2012.

The application for Environmental Clearance was filled at SEIAA, Haryana on 18.06.2012.

The Environmental appraisal was done on 11.12.2012 in which committee has deferred the

case due to non-matching of sign of land owners. The documents were submitted and again

case was appraised by SEAC on 29.04.2013.

SEAC appraised the case on 17.06.213, 27.11.2013, 16.04.2014 and finally asked for site

inspection by sub-committee.

PP started the construction work and submitted documents to SEAC on 12.01.2015.The

Environmental Clearance was pending at SEAC due to violation proceedings.

Now, as per gazette notification dated 14.03.2017 we are submitting the details for EC as per

the said notification as violation case.

DAMAGE ASSESSMENT

For assessment of damage to environment following Environmental aspects has been

identified: -

1. Air Quality: Deterioration due to air emission

2. Water Environment: Due to groundwater exploitation pollution in water bodies.

3. Soil Quality: Due to unorganised solid waste management, land contamination and

unplanned disposal of soil.

4. Exploitation of Natural resources.

5. Socio Economic scenario of the surrounding areas.

6. Environmental accidents.

7. Ecology & Biodiversity

8. Noise levels

9. Geological changes

10. Hydrological changes

To assess these environmental parameters team has been deputed to assess preliminary

assessment of damage to environment.

Based on site inspection and the documentary evidences the environmental aspects vs

activity has been filled.

SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL DAMAGE

The Construction has been done by the contractor M/s Krishna Conquest Construction (P) Ltd

Ambient Air Quality

The project work was started in march, 2013. Due to summer season dust emission was there.

The machineries & DG sets generated air emissions.

Water Generation

Since ground water table is quite low there was no dewatering done. Occasional ground water

was used due to scarcity of water. However most of the water is procured through tanker.

Waste Generation

Construction & demolition waste was generated and it was used in refilling of low lying area &

roads.

Non-Hazardous waste like packaging material wood, carton & plastics are sold to kabariwalas.

Only Hazardous waste was paint and used oils. The used oil has been sold to recyclers. Paint

drums were solds to Kabariwala.

Land Contamination

There was a defined space for construction machinery and land contamination was done to

spillage of oil.

There was no spillage of cleaning agent however concrete mixture was dumped at few places.

All the liquid were stored in drum and no spillage of any liquid were reported. The toilets were

having soak pits no surface water discharge.

The project plot was agriculture land and no natural drain was passing through the plot.

Use of Natural Resources

Water was taken through tanker; no ground water is used. Energy use was through diesel and

petrol.

Raw Material was RCC (Through RMC), Iron & Steel (From Secondary Steel), Cement, Door &

Windows were made-up of timber (Hence natural resources were used). Stone is used for

flooring tiles used in bathroom & Kitchen.

Local Issues

The nearest habitat is Sikandarpur Banda which is 1 Km in SW direction. There were other

projects in the vicinity and no local issues. There was noise during construction activities. Dust

was generated during excavation & transportation.

The land was agriculture land and converted into residential purpose.

Transport Issue

The transportation of material was done using kaccha road.

Due to Kuccha Road dust generation was quite high.

Environmental Accident

The project work was done by experienced and qualified contractor hence no environmental

accident like land subsidence or land slide happened.

Effect on biodiversity

The land was an agriculture land and hence there was no significant flora & fauna. However,

with organized plantation after completion of project biodiversity will improve.

Noise Pollution

The area was earlier an agriculture is and there were no noise sources in the vicinity. However,

with construction activity noise level is increased.

Soil quality & Management

The project was conceptualized with 1 level basement hence soil excavation was essential.

Mining permission was taken from Department of Mines & Geology, Gurugram (Dated

22.05.12) to excavate 1,12,896 MT of ordinary soil.

The excess soil was given by contractor for refilling of low lying area.

Geology

There was no mineral at project site and there was only ordinary soil. The soil excavation and

construction of basement has changed the geological profile.

Hydrology

There was no use of ground water in the area. The depletion of ground water in the area is due

to over exploitation of ground water by operational industrial & commercial units.
