Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 1
1.0 INTRODUCTION
M/s Jhabua Power Limited (JPL) has installed coal based thermal power plant of 1x 600 MW capacity at Village- Barela & Gorakhpur, Tehsil Ghansore, District Seoni, Madhya Pradesh. The plant had been granted Environment Clearance vide letter No J-13012/105/2008-IA.II (T), dated 17.02.2010. As per the EC letter, Coal requirement is 3.2 MTPA. The requirement of the coal shall be met through SECL mines (2.75 MTPA) and rest 0.45 MTPA from open market. Point no. 7 of specific condition of EC letter, states that “in case of any deviation or alteration in the project proposed including coal transportation system from those submitted to this Ministry for clearance, a fresh reference should be made to the Ministry to assess the adequacy of the condition(s) imposed and to add additional environmental protection measures required, if any”. M/s JPL had proposed the transportation of coal from coal pit-head to plant site by way of railway. Since the railway line had not become operational concurrent to the power plant operation till 2015, in order to meet the coal requirement, amendment in EC was obtained vide letter No J-13012/105/2008-IA.II (T), dated 15.02.2016 for temporary transportation of coal by road for a limited period of two years i.e till 15.02.2018, from Gosalpur (GSPR) and Garha sidings (GGGS) to power plant.
Railway track from Jabalpur to Binaiki railway station has been completed now. But railway track from Binaiki till plant premises is under construction (3 km with curves). The work has been delayed due to delay in approval of Engineering Scale Plan (ESP) by South East Central Railway (SECR), land acquisition, difficulties in completing the civil work of four bridges and adverse fund availability. The same is now expected to be completed by February 2019. Since the railway line has been converted to broad gauge from Ghansore and Garha to Binaiki, coal unloaded at Binaiki siding is & will be transported by covered hyvas/trucks to the plant. This new development reduces the truck transportation distance from 149 km (for which amendment was granted) to 1.86 km. This 1.86 km is the last stretch of the same route for which amendment had been granted. Jhabua Power Ltd. is having long term PPAs (power purchase agreement) with Madhya Pradesh (210 MW) and Kerala (215 MW). Therefore, sustained coal supply is required to be maintained to ensure reliable power supply to these two states. Keeping in view of the above facts, M/s JPL had applied on 27.10.2017 for grant of extension of Environmental clearance for coal transportation by road from Binaiki siding till plant premises for a further period of one year i.e till 28th February 2019. MOEF&CC has raised queries on 16.11.2017, in line with which this report has been prepared.
The following studies were carried out:
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 2
(i) Traffic and road surveys for assessment of carrying capacity on the Binaiki-Plant route
(ii) Data collection of air quality and noise levels along the Binaiki-Plant route
(iii) Air quality modelling for impact assessment of incremental ground level concentration of air pollutants.
(iv) Identification of villages within 100 m of the proposed routes (v) Survey of flora.
All the above have been described in subsequent sections.
The road width measurement and traffic surveys were carried out by staff of
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd. while collection of air quality, noise levels and listing of vegetation along the route has been carried out by staff of M/s Jhabua Power Limited between 17th November - 9th December, 2017. The air quality prediction modelling and preparation of report has been done out by staff of M/s Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd., New Delhi.
1.1 Description of Proposed Route The coal transportation to Jhabua Power Plant will be from coal pit-head of
SECL to Binaiki railway siding through railway and from there, it will be transported by road through Hyvas/trucks to the plant premises. Permission from South East Central Railway for the same has been taken and attached as Attachment 1. The length of this road is 1.86 km. 3.2 MTPA of coal i.e 8767 T/Day of coal will be transported from pit head to Binaiki Railway siding and from there to the plant by road.
The coal transportation from Binaiki railway siding will be by 25 Tonne capacity Hyvas/Trucks. There would be to & fro movement of 702 coal carrying Hyvas/Trucks per day from Binaiki railway siding to plant premises. It should be noted that the term “coal carrying Hyvas/Trucks” as depicted above is used for both loaded and unloaded Hyvas/trucks. The coal received from MCL and SECL Mines is of good quality having average GCV of about 3500 kcal/kg and sulphur content of 0.44%.
2.0 ASSESSMENT OF PROPOSED ROAD FOR ITS CATEGORISATION &
CARRYING CAPACITY AS PER IRC 64(1990)-GUIDELINES ON CAPACITY OF ROADS IN RURAL AREA
2.1 Road width measurement
The proposed route from Binaiki railway siding to JPL’s Power plant is 1.86 km, which can be seen in Fig. 1.
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 3
The width of the road was measured for entire 1.86 km. Since the road width was not uniform, the road length traversed till the road width changed and at that location road width was measured again. Thus, at a total of 8 locations road width measurement was carried out on the proposed route, which are shown in Fig. 1.

The width of the road was measured at each location by using meter tape. The road widths along with their geographical coordinates are given in Table 1 and shown in Fig. 2.
The locations of the road width measurement and census points for traffic
density monitoring from Binaiki railway siding to TPP are shown in Photograph (each location refers to its corresponding photograph no.) in Attachment 2.
It is prudent to note that the road is not in good condition at stretch RW-01 to RW 02 and RW- 07 to RW-08. Hence, strengthening/maintenance is required.
Roads are provided with good shoulders on either sides, thus, can be
expected to support 15% additional volume than the designed service volume as per IRC 64:1990.
From Table 1 and Fig. 2 the following conclusion can be drawn for the route regarding the road width:

2.2 Traffic Volume Carrying Capacity of the Road
In the study, the route considered is a rural highway, which is considered as an all-purpose road, with no control of access and with heterogeneous mix of fast and slow-moving vehicles. There are two terms which are to be considered - (a) Capacity and (b) Design Service Volume
(i) Capacity is defined as the maximum hourly volume (Vehicles per hour)
at which vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform section of a lane or roadway during a given time period under the prevailing roadway, traffic and control conditions.

(ii) Design Service Volume is defined as the maximum hourly volume (Vehicles per hour) at which vehicles can reasonably be expected to traverse a point or uniform section of a lane or roadway during a given time period under the prevailing roadway, traffic and control conditions while maintaining a designated level of service.
Under normal circumstance, use of Level of Service “B” (available from A to
F) is considered adequate for the design of rural highways. At this level, volume of traffic will be around 0.5 times the maximum capacity and this is taken as the “design service volume” for the purpose of adopting design values.
The recommended design service volume for plain roads with low curvature
(0-50 degrees/km), as is the case in the study area, is given in Table 2.

In case of two lane roads, where the shoulder width or carriageway width on
a two lane road are restricted, there will be a certain reduction in capacity. Table 3 gives the recommended reduction factors in this account over the capacity values given in Table 2.

Source : Table 5 of guidelines for capacity of roads in rural area (IRC: 64-1990)
Similarly, the capacity of two lane roads can be increased by providing
paved and surface shoulders of at least 1.5 m width on either side. Provision of hard shoulders results in slow moving traffic, being able to travel on shoulders, which reduces the interference to fast traffic on the main carriageway. Under these circumstances, 15% increase in capacity can be expected vis-a-vis the values given in Table 3 earlier.
The result of presence of slow moving vehicles in traffic stream is that it
affects the free flow of traffic. A way of accounting for the interaction of various kind of vehicles is to express the capacity of roads in terms of common unit. Therefore, the number of vehicles have been converted into “passenger car units” (PCUs) using the equivalency factor as per Table 1 of IRC: 64-1990. The equivalency factors used have been given in Table 4 below.

2.3 Traffic Survey and current vehicle volume The traffic survey was conducted as per IRC: 9-1972. The site for traffic
survey monitoring was fixed away from the villages or intersections. The traffic density was monitored in the up and down directions near plant at Barela village which have been called as Census Point ( CP-1) for this study. The location can be seen in Fig. 1 and their photographs in Attachment 2.
The current traffic load on the proposed route was monitored as per
procedure outlined in IRC: 9-1972. The monitoring was done at each location for a period of 24 hours continuously. The observed traffic density has been processed for an interval of 1 hour. The total no. of vehicles were calculated on hourly basis as well as for 24 hours. The monitoring plan included the following vehicles, namely, LMV, buses, trucks, motor cycles and scooters, cycles and others. Slow moving vehicles produce interference to the free movement of traffic. Hence, to account for the interaction of the different kinds of vehicles moving on the route, the capacity of the roads has been converted into Passenger Car Unit as per IRC: 64-1990 and the current traffic load was found after applying the conversion factors which is given in Table 5.
2.4 Additional Traffic on proposed route The traffic volume estimated due to the movement of hyvas/trucks for
transportation of coal has been assessed as follows:
Route- Binaiki railway siding to Jhabua Power Plant
Proposed Capacity of coal to be transported from Binaiki railway siding
8767 MT/day
Carrying capacity of hyvas/trucks 25.0 Tonnes
Hourly hyvas/trucks movement (to & fro) Approx. 30 Nos.
Daily hyvas/trucks movement (to & fro) Approx. 702 Nos.
Till February 2019, coal to be transported will be 8767 MT/Day for plant (1x600 MW). The anticipated no. of trucks plying will be approx. 702 to and fro. Table 5 also show the road width, the design service volume according to road width, the present plus proposed traffic expressed as a percentage of the designed service volume and maximum capacity of the road. It should be noted that the current coal transportation trucks to and from the plant are included in the traffic density monitored in Nov-Dec 2017. These trucks are meeting only part of the projected total coal requirement since the plant is reported to be working under-capacity. Hence, in future, the difference between 702 minus the average currently running trucks will be the increase in traffic volume of on the road.
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 10
It can be seen from the Table 5 that the current, projected ( on Feb, 2019) plus proposed additional traffic volume on the Binaiki railway siding to Jhabua Power Plant route will have a maximum capacity of 77.44% to 83.94%. Thus, the present road width is capable of supporting the present as well as the additional traffic at Level of Service (LOS) C.
2.5 Growth in existing traffic It is proposed to use the road for coal transportation for a maximum period
i.e. till February, 2019. During this 1 year , the existing road traffic is likely to experience a natural growth also, which is affected by the following factors:
Economic 1. Gross National Product (GNP) or Gross Domestic Product (GDP)
2. Agricultural Output
3. Industrial Output
Demographic 4. Population
5. Rural/ Urban mix of population
The natural growth can be assessed through various ways which is related
to either one or more of the above parameters. Past trends of data related to traffic flow from census, vehicle registration or fuel sales can also be used, if available. In this case, being a rural road, past trend data was not available for sufficient number of years from authentic sources for extrapolations. Hence, an average growth rate of 2.00% has been assumed on the basis of 20.00% population growth rate in Madhya Pradesh in the previous decade, as per Census 2001 & 2011.
The growth in traffic has been projected for 1 year based on the formula
prescribed by IRC:108-1996 (Guidelines for Traffic Prediction on Rural Highways) which has been used in subsequent Tables 5 and added to the proposed traffic load to determine the adequacy of the road in future also.
The formula used for projection is Pn = Po(1+r)n Where Pn = Traffic in the nth year i.e. in 1 year
Po = Traffic flow in the base year
n = number of years (years)
r = annual rate of growth of traffic, expressed in decimals. (0.02)

The baseline noise level were found from 50.82 to 63.47 dB(A) during day time and 40.30 to 50.21 dB(A) during night time which is well within the permissible limit of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards with respect to ambient noise, both during day time and night time for industrial and residential area during day time and night time.
4.0 IMPACT DUE TO TRAFFIC The impact of increase in traffic on various parameters of the environment is
discussed in subsequent paragraphs. 4.1 Ambient Air Quality The plying of trucks from Binaiki railway siding to Jhabua Power Plant will
result in emission of particulates, HCs, SO2, NOx and CO. The ambient air quality near the project will have a component of the
pollutants from the coal carrying hyvas/trucks as well. In order to access the impact on existing air quality in the area due to plying of coal bearing trucks, monitoring of existing air quality was carried out by Jhabua Power Ltd. as given in paragraph 4.1 above.
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.

Dispersion modelling has been done to determine the incremental values
due to plying of 702 trucks. The inputs considered for air quality prediction modelling of the coal carrying hyvas/trucks is given as under:

The output of the air quality prediction modelling due to transportation is as under:
SUMMARY OF MAXIMUM RESULTS Pollutant Maximum Concentration
(µg/m3) Receptor No.
PM10 0.016 R25
PM2.5 0.009 R25
SO2 1.25 R25 NOX 8.00 R25
The detailed report of air quality prediction modelling using CALINE 4 is
given in Attachment 3 for 702 trucks per day. Since 480 trucks are already plying out of the 702 trucks, the baseline air quality monitored is already containing the impact of 480 trucks. Hence, in future impact of 222 trucks will only increase, which will be less than the values projected in the table above.
The incremental values due to plying of 702 coal carrying trucks to the
maximum existing air quality result observed in the study area (from two stations) will be 84.016 µg/m3 for PM10, 50.609 µg/m3 for PM2.5, 12.45 µg/m3 for SOx and 23.2 µg/m3 for NO2. Since in future, average 222 trucks
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 15
will increase, therefore the resultant air quality would remain well within the prescribed limit.
The particulate matter increment values in the above table pertain to the
emission from the exhausts of the vehicles only. However, there will be an additional component of particulate matter in the form of dust becoming airborne from roads due to wheel movement. The dust on roads comes from various sources such as settlement of fugitive dust, spillage from vehicles, peeling of mud stuck on wheels, weathering of road itself, dust storms, etc.
The movement of wheels disturb the area under the wheels and creates
disturbances in the air which are localized, temporary and reversible. The dust becomes airborne and resettles according to particle size. As per various research papers, silt content of this dust is of consequence in addition to the speed/ weight of the vehicle to determine magnitude of airborne dust.
As per AP-42, 5th Edition of US EPA, Section 13.2.1.3, the quantity of particulate emissions from re-suspension of loose material on the road surface due to vehicle travel on a dry paved road may be estimated using the following empirical expression:
E = [k (sL)0.91 x (W)1.02] x (1-P/4N)
where: E = particulate emission factor (having units matching the units of k), k = particle size multiplier for particle size range and units of interest, which
will be 0.62 g/VKT for PM10 and 0.15 g/VKT for PM2.5 as per Table 13.2.1-1 of AP-42, US EPA.
sL = road surface silt loading (grams per square meter) (g/m2). The average
silt content has been taken as 1.5 g/m2 as per AP42 Table 13.2.1-2. W = average weight (tons) of the vehicles travelling the road, which is 22.5
(average of loaded and empty trucks of 25 Tonne capacity) for the additional traffic P = Total wet days with at least 0.254 mm (0.01 in) of precipitation during the averaging period which is 58.6 days at IMD Jabalpur (avg. from 1961-1990), and N = Number of days in the averaging period which is 365 days Thus, PM10 E = 0.62 (1.5)0.91 x (22.5)1.02 x (1- 58.6/(4*365))

= 21.471426x 0.954794
= 20.6090 g/VKT
PM2.5 E = 0.15 (1.5)0.91 x (22.5)1.02
= 5.1947 g/VKT 4.2 Ambient Noise The number of hyvas/trucks anticipated are 702 (to & fro) per day on the
transportation route i.e 30 hyvas/trucks per hour. The sound level from the movement of a truck passing on the road is approximately 90 dBA. This will be a short term increase, prevailing only at the time of passage of hyvas/truck. The overall Leq will be lower. As the distance increases from the line of truck movement, the anticipated Leqs will be as follows:

At a distance of 7 m, the LeQ is anticipated to be approximately 65 dB(A),
falling within the limits for commercial areas, which is the usual case along roads. The anticipated noise levels have been discussed below:
There would be a maximum of 30 trucks moving on transportation route per hour. Considering average speed of the trucks as 40 km/hr, the following conclusions can be drawn:
Maximum no. of trucks on Route = 30 per hour
Speed of trucks = 40 km/hr
Time after which another truck will pass a particular point on the road
= 2 min
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 17
Distance covered by a truck in 1 min = 667 metre/min
Distance between 2 consecutive trucks = 667 x 2
= Approx.1334 m
As per the Noise Pollution (Regulation And Control) Rules, 2000, the Leq noise level in residential areas during day shall be 55 dB(A) and at night shall be 45 dB(A). The noise levels due to movement of trucks on the route will increase slightly and the average noise levels will be slightly high. The noise level contour for transportation route is shown in Fig 3.
FIG. 3: NOISE LEVEL CONTOUR
It can be seen from Fig. 3, that no overlapping of the sound waves generated from two consecutive trucks will take place.
4.3 Human Health Referring to para 5.1 earlier, it can be seen that the maximum resultant air
quality values after addition of incremental ground level concentration, due to plying of 702 trucks for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx will be 84.016,
50.609, 12.45 And 23.2 µg/m3, respectively.
It can be seen in para 5.1 that, the increase in plying of additional trucks would lead to an increase in air pollutant concentration. On addition of these incremental values to the highest existing air quality values in the area, it is found that the resultant ambient air quality would remain well within the prescribed limits for all the parameters on transportation routes. The impact of various pollutants is discussed below:
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 18
4.3.1 Particulates Impact on Health: PM10 and PM2.5 include inhalable particles that are small
enough to penetrate the thoracic region of the respiratory system. The health effects of inhalable PM are well documented in ‘Health effects of particulate matter, Policy implications for countries in eastern Europe, Caucasus and Central Asia by World Health Organisation, Regional Office for Europe, 2013’. They are due to exposure over both the short term (hours, days) and long term (months, years) and include:
• Respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity, such as aggravation of asthma, respiratory symptoms and an increase in hospital admissions;
• Mortality from cardiovascular and respiratory diseases and from lung cancer.
Threshold concentrations for humans : As described in detail in Chapter
7.3, Particulate Matter, Air Quality Guidelines, Second Edition, World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2000, at low levels of (short-term) exposure (defined as 0–100 μg/m3 for PM10), the exposure response curve fits a straight line reasonably well, there are indications from studies conducted in the former German Democratic Republic and in China that at higher levels of exposure (several hundreds of μg/m3 PM10), the curve is shallower for at least effects on mortality than at low levels of exposure.
The relative risk increase between 1.0074-1.0356 for daily mortality, respiratory hospital admissions, reporting of broncho-dilator use, cough and lower respiratory symptoms, and changes in peak expiratory flow has been associated with a 10 μg/m3 increase in PM10 or PM2.5 with respect to the concentrations actually measured.
In this case, the maximum incremental particulate emissions will be 0.016
μg/m3 for PM10 and 0.009 μg/m3 for PM2.5. The incremental values are within the significant figures of 10 μg/m3.
4.3.2 Sulphur dioxides Impact on Health: Sulphur dioxide irritates the skin and mucous
membranes of the eyes, nose, throat, and lungs. High concentrations of SO2 can cause inflammation and irritation of the respiratory system, particularly during heavy physical activity.
The resulting symptoms may include pain when taking a deep breath,
coughing, throat irritation, and breathing difficulties. High concentrations of SO2 can affect lung function, worsen asthma attacks, and aggravate existing heart disease in sensitive groups. This gas can also react with other chemicals in the air and convert to a small particle that can lodge in the lungs and cause similar health effects.
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 19
Threshold concentrations for humans : As described in detail in Chapter 7.4, Sulphur dioxide, Air Quality Guidelines, Second Edition, World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2000, the health risk evaluation for short term exposures (less than 24 hours) has been done. Only small changes, not regarded as of clinical significance, were seen at 572 μg/m3 (0.2 ppm); reductions representing about 10% of baseline, Forced Expiratory Volume (FEV1) occurred at about 1144 μg/m3 (0.4 ppm); and reductions of about 15% occurred at about 1716 μg/m3 (0.6 ppm).
The response was not greatly influenced by the severity of asthma. These
findings are consistent with those reported from other exposure studies. In one early series, however, a small change in airway resistance was reported in two of the asthmatic patients at 286 μg/m3 (0.1 ppm). For long term exposure, the lowest-observed-adverse-effect level of sulfur dioxide was judged to be 100 μg/m3 (0.035 ppm) annual average, together with particulate matter.
In this case, the resultant ambient air quality after addition of incremental
emissions will be 12.45 μg/m3 on transportation route, which is much lower than the thresholds which impact human health.
4.3.3 Nitrogen oxides Impact on Health: Human health concerns include effects on breathing and
the respiratory system, damage to lung tissue, and premature death. Small particles penetrate deeply into sensitive parts of the lungs and can cause or worsen respiratory disease, such as emphysema and bronchitis, and aggravate existing heart disease.
Threshold concentrations for humans : As described in detail in Chapter
7.1, Nitrogen dioxide, Air Quality Guidelines, Second Edition, World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2000, a significant amount of research has been directed at evaluating the effect of nitrogen dioxide on pulmonary function and airway responsiveness to pharmacological, physical (e.g. cold air) or natural (i.e. allergens) broncho-constrictors. Generally, concentrations higher than 1880 μg/m3 (1.0 ppm) are required to increase responsiveness to broncho-constrictors and to induce changes in pulmonary function in healthy adults.
Analysis of lung lavage from healthy humans indicated that high levels
(5640-7520 μg/m3; 3–4 ppm) reduce the activity of alpha-1-protease inhibitor, a protein that acts to protect the lung from the proteolytic enzyme elastase by inhibiting connective tissue damage. However, 2820 μg/m3 (1.5 ppm) had no such effect.
Such concentrations as mentioned above, almost never occur in ambient
air, thus, the resultant ambient air quality values of nitrogen oxide (23.2 μg/m3 on transportation route) is not expected to have any impact on the healthy human beings. On the basis of these human clinical data, WHO has
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 20
given a 1-hour guideline of 200 μg/m3. At double this recommended guideline (400 μg/m3), there is evidence to suggest possible small effects in the pulmonary function of asthmatics. Should the asthmatic be exposed either simultaneously or sequentially to nitrogen dioxide and an aeroallergen, the risk of an exaggerated response to the allergen is increased. At 50% of the suggested guideline (100μg/m3, 50 ppb), there have been no studies of acute response in 1 hour.
4.4 Ecology It has been generally accepted that dust originating from unpaved roads can
aggravate respiratory ailments, create driving hazards and cause considerable discomfort to those living alongside these roads.
Dust may affect photosynthesis, respiration, transpiration and allow the
penetration of phyto-toxic gaseous pollutants. Dust from highways and roads greatly affect the roadside vegetation communities by inducing changes in pH, Relative Water Content and species diversity. Vegetation act as natural filters by depositing dust particles on their leaf surface, susceptible and highly exposed part of a plant and, thus, makes an important contribution in the improvement of air quality. Leaves act as pollution receptors and decrease dust load of the air.
According to a research by D. L. Becker in 1978 (referenced by McCrea),
the total downwind deposition from infinite instantaneous line source of 1.0 gm/m during neutral conditions at distance of 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, 128, 256 and 512 m from road have been estimated as 263, 188, 118, 70, 39, 22, 12 and 5 g/m. The deposited dust reduces the light availability to the plant and therefore affects photosynthesis as follows:

The McCrea study in table 13 also assessed the observed normal reduction of yield in various roadside orchards for a traffic volume of 500 per day, affecting an area of 12.5 ha/km and arrived it to be 1.6%, for a traffic volume of 250 per day, as 0.8% and for a traffic volume of 75 per day 0.3%. Thus, under worse case scenario of high dust on roads, adverse weather conditions and absence of mitigation measures, the plying of additional 702 hyvas/trucks on transportation route per day can lead to a maximum cumulative reduction of yield in roadside plantation will be 2.24%, if mitigation measures like water sprinkling, road maintenance, cleaning and road side plantations are not carried out.
5.0 OBSERVATIONS
During site visit, the following observations were made along route:
� The transportation route from Binaiki railway siding to Jhabua Power Plant is 1.86 km long, with average width of 4.72 m. Minimum road width was 3.75 m and maximum was 7.8 m.
� There is no habitation along the route within 100 m of road except a petrol pump, between stretch RW-3 and RW-04. Binaiki railway siding is present in Binaki village.
� Various kinds of vehicles are using the roads such as cars, jeeps, motorcycles, scooters, buses, trucks, etc.
� The flora planted along the road and boundary of the plant are Karanj (Pongamia pinnata), Gulmohar (Delonix regia), Khamir, Mango (Mangifera indica) and Babul (Acacia arabica). Photographs of the same can be seen in Fig. 4
� Presently, the transportation of coal from railway siding to power plant is being done by trucks covered with tarpaulin. This practice shall be continued in future also. Photographs are given in Fig. 5.
� During survey, it was found that the road condition between stretches RW-01 to RW-02 and RW-07 to RW-08 require maintenance.
� Majority of the road length (87.26%) is single lane (<5.5 m wide), which should be widened for safer transportation using trucks.
� Although M/s Jhabua Power Ltd has permission to transport coal through road till Feb 2018 for its entire coal demand, the actual truck movement is much lower due to the thermal power plant being operated below full capacity.
� A “Road Health And Safety Plan” has been already developed and followed by Jhabua Power Ltd. and is attached as Attachment 4.

6.0 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATIONS This study has been conducted to assess the likely impact of coal
transportation from Binaiki railway siding to Thermal Power Plant at Barela and Gorakhpur, Tehsil Ghansore, District Seoni, Madhya Pradesh of M/s Jhabua Power Ltd.
The required coal to be transported at full capacity will be 8767 tonnes per
day from Binaiki railway siding by road, which would be brought through hyvas/trucks of 25 tonnes capacity. There would be total movement of about 702 coal carrying hyvas/trucks (to & fro) on transportation route which is 1.86 km long.
All surveys, calculations and assessments have been carried out in line with
Standards available from Indian Road Congress (IRC), Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC) and United States Environment Protection Agency (US EPA). Road width along entire length has been measured besides observation of traffic volume.
Based on the various aspects studied, the following conclusions are arrived
at:
� From the aspect of Traffic Volume and capacity of the road - From Table 5, it is clear that even after consideration of traffic growth rate for 1 year, the existing, projected plus the additional traffic volume due to the movement of coal carrying trucks will remain within the maximum capacity of the road. Thus, the present road width is capable of supporting the present as well as the additional traffic at Level of Service (LOS) C. However, widening of the single lane road will improve not only the Level of Service but also the safety on road.
� From the aspect of Impact on Ambient Air quality - Perusal of Para
5.1 shows that there shall be increment in air pollutants due to exhaust emissions and dust from road, from the additional vehicles. However, the magnitude of resultant pollutant concentrations will be low and to the tune of maximum 84.016 µg/m3 for PM10, 50.609 µg/m3 for PM2.5, 12.45 µg/m3 for SOx and 23.2 µg/m3 for NO2. Since in future, average 222 trucks will increase, therefore the resultant air quality would remain well within the prescribed limit.
� From the aspect of Impact on Ambient Noise - The sound level from
the movement of a truck passing on the road is approximately 90 dBA. This will be a short term increase, prevailing only at the time of passage of truck. There will be a short time increase in the noise level during plying of the vehicles. The overall Leq noise level will be slightly higher. As the vehicle passes away, the noise levels will be deceasing. It can also be seen from Fig. 4 that the noise levels due to movement of trucks on the route will increase slightly and the average noise levels will be slightly high. It can be seen from Fig 4 that no overlapping of the sound waves generated from two consecutive trucks will take place if the
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 24
minimum distance between two trucks is > 400 m and according to the present case of transportation, the minimum distance between two consecutive trucks will be 1334 m.
� From the aspect of Impact on Human Health- The incremental values
have been compared against the Air Quality Guidelines, Second Edition, World Health Organisation Regional Office for Europe, Copenhagen, Denmark, 2000 and found to be lower than the significant figures of 10 μg/m3
for PM10 and PM2.35. The resultant NO2 and SO2 will be much lower than the thresholds which impact human health
� From the aspect of Impact on Ecology- Under normal scenario and
absence of mitigation measures, the plying of additional 702 (to & fro) trucks per day on transportation route can lead to a reduction in yield of road side plantation to 2.24%.
However, based on the study and observations, the following are
recommended: A. Plantation
� Carry out plantation along the traffic route for dust and noise control on either side of road, in consultation with villagers, where ever possible.
� Continue to maintain plantation already done within plant and replace damaged saplings
B. Air pollution mitigation for protection of ecology & human health
� The vehicles used for transportation should be covered with tarpaulin and should be spill-proof
� The trucks to have periodic PUC certification as per manufacturers norms and it shall be ensured that unadulterated diesel is procured and used from authorised dealers only
� Only those vehicles having fitness certificate to be allowed to ply
� The practice of water spraying/sprinkling along transportatio route road shall be carried out to minimize road dust generation. As per APM-42, 70% of the fugitive dust emission can be controlled by sprinkling/ mechanical cleaning of roads and therefore, it is practically possible to minimise impact to level below 10 μg/m3.
� Make provision for tyre washing at unloading point within the power plant.
Min Mec Consultancy Pvt. Ltd.
Assessment of Impacts Due to Transportation of Coal for Jhabua Power Plant 25
C. Noise mitigation
� No unnecessary honking.
� All trucks to undergo preventive maintenance as per manufacturers schedule and their silencers shall be maintained and operational at all times.
� Plantation along roadside as suggested for air pollution mitigation will also act as buffer against noise propagation
D. Safety
� Installation of speed bumps before intersections to ensure slow
driving
