IDENTIFICATION, PREDICTION AND EVALUATION OF IMPACTS

Environmental impact can be defined as any alteration of environmental conditions, adverse or

beneficial, caused or induced by the action or set of actions under consideration.

Various operations involved in the “Group Housing” have been studied in details to identify, predict

and evaluate impacts on various environmental components. The identified impacts were quantified

using mathematical models to a possible extent so as to estimate the future environmental scenario.

The dust emission sources are:

• Haul road movements

• Construction

• Material Handling

• Finishing

• Water spraying to prevent dust pollution from different

sources of construction.

• All transportation vehicles were suitably covered with

tarpaulin & overloading of the vehicles was avoided.

• Covering of the construction site on all four sides to a

considerable height to prevent dust emissions and other

pollutants to the surrounding environment.

• Ensuring vehicles stick to the access track to prevent mud

and dirt being deposited on roads.

POST CONSTRUCTION PHASE

SOURCES

02 nos. D.G Set of capacity 300 kVA will be installed for power backup for common area.

Impact on Air Quality

The impact on air quality is assessed based on emissions of the proposed DG set and vehicular

emissions. NOx and CO will be the important pollutants emitting from these sources.

Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing mathematical model based on

a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for multiple point sources for short term. In

the present case, AERMOD Version 7.1.0 dispersion model for different stability state Gaussian plume

dispersion, designed for multiple point and line sources for short term and developed by United States

Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA] has been used for simulations from point and line sources.

{dB (A)}

Back hoe/Loader 81 105

Dump truck 83 107

Generator Not considered 75 (as prescribed by CPCB)

To understand the combined effect of these noise levels on the nearby community, Custic 3.2 (Lakes

Environmental – USEPA approved) scientific model has been used to estimate the noise levels at

different distances from the proposed project. All the major noise generating machineries like D.G.

Sets, Pumps, Trucks, vibrators, drilling machine, etc., are considered in this model. The noise level at

project boundary due to different sources is calculated based on the following formula:

Lp2 = Lp1 – 20 log (r2 / r1) – Ae1, 2

where, Lp1 and Lp2 are sound levels at points located at distance r1 / r2 from the source and Ae1,2 is the

excess attenuation due to environmental conditions. The resultant noise level is obtained by adding

existing maximum levels to that of predicted level.





NOVEMBER’ 2017

Further due to natural attenuation effects, by proper green belt development, design / maintenance of

machines, providing PPE’s to workers, etc., the impact on noise levels will be minimal.

MANAGEMENT PLAN

SOURCES MANAGEMENT

Major sources of noise

pollution:

• Vehicular traffic

• Heavy moving

machinery

• Operation of D.G.

sets, etc.

• The construction area was shielded with help of tarpaulin sheets.

• Complete construction work especially heavy earth work was done

during day time.

• Traffic planning and management made adequate to ensure

uninterrupted traffic movement in the area so as to minimize the noise

due to congestion.

• The vehicles were regularly maintained and optimum use of the same

will be made.

• Moving parts of the machines were maintained properly so as to avoid

metal-to-metal impact noise.

• The D.G. sets used are eco friendly with minimum noise.

• Ear plugs were provided to the workers.

POST CONSTRUCTION PHASE

SOURCES MANAGEMENT

• Vehicular

noise

• Operation of

D.G. sets.

• EPA/CPCB certified DG set conforming to the standards for noise will be used.

• D.G. set will be housed in an inbuilt acoustic enclosure, which will help to

contain the noise within the permissible standards.

• The driveways will have sufficient width so that there is no congestion of

vehicles during peak hours which lead to increase in the noise levels.

• Adequate parking including provisions of visitors parking.

• Entry & exits will be manned with trained & efficient security to ensure

smooth flow of vehicles.

• There is less starting and stopping and the vehicles are speed restricted to

ensure the noise within the permissible limits.

• The area will cover 5256.69 Sq.m area under landscape, which will help to

absorb noise.

E. BIODIVERSITY

Biotic component comprises of both plant animal communities which interact not only within and

between them self but also with a biotic i.e. physical and chemical components of the environment.





NOVEMBER’ 2017

Generally a biological community is being dependent on the environmental conditions and resources

of its location may change if there are many major changes in the environment. The number of

variables like temperature, humidity, atmospheric conditions, soil, topography, etc. is responsible for

maintaining the homeostasis of the environment and a change in any one or more of these variables

may tend to destabilize the ecosystem. In such cases the change may be mostly irreversible.

Therefore, the need to assess the changes of the animal and plant resources is primary requisite as

these living things determine the environmental healthiness of any given ecosystem or environment.

Biological impact assessment generally includes listing of plants and animals present at the project

site. The identified species are then checked for their status according to IUCN list of threat

categories viz., endemic, endangered, vulnerable, rare, indeterminate and insufficiently known.

As part of this assignment, a flora and fauna study has been conducted for the proposed housing

Project at Jodhpur, Rajasthan. Field study was undertaken in the month of September 2017. The

proposed site and habitats adjacent to the site were surveyed for flora and fauna species.

1. Objective of Study

The present work was undertaken with the following objectives:

• To collect the baseline terrestrial biodiversity status regarding flora and fauna in the project

area.

• To evaluate the dominant species of plant and animal. Secondary data also is collected from the

local residents.

• To identify the endangered / threatened / scheduled species in the study area (both flora and

fauna). The conservation plan will be given if any wildlife species of schedule -I is present

there.

• To mark the ecologically sensitive areas such as national parks/ sanctuaries.

• To suggestion and recommendation for plantation and green belt.

• To assess the effect of construction and operation of the project on existing ecology.

On the basis of onsite observations a checklist of flora and fauna was prepared

5. Plantation for Green belt development

The greenbelt development plan aims at overall improvement in the environmental conditions of the

region. Green belt planning will be done with ecological perspectives for project. Nature of pollutants,

availability of space and dominant wind directions should be considered. This will help in reducing the

concentration of pollutants and will also be effective in attenuating noise levels.

Moreover, keeping in view the characteristics of soil, water quality and topography of the area the

following additional aspects should also be considered. Plant species should have such characteristics:

� Fast growing and perennial species;

� Locally available species which are tolerable to soil and climate of area;

� Low water requirement and heat tolerant;

� Pest resistant species;

� Tolerance to inorganic chemicals;

Suggestion of other Indoor Herbs

Areca Palm

This leafy plant can be grown anywhere in the house

in indirect sunlight. The plant can grow as high as 30

feet outdoors but it is restricted to about seven feet at

indoor locations. Put it in a small container and the

crowded roots will help in limiting the size of the

plant. It also works effectively as an effective

humidifier. Water enough to keep the soil moist and

let it dry a little between watering in winter.

English Ivy

This green plant filters out formaldehyde found in

some household cleaning products. The plant needs

bright light to look fresh and might attract pests if they

do not receive enough light.

Aloe Vera Aloe plants like to be dry and warm, not wet and cold,

so water only when we see that the soil in the pot is





NOVEMBER’ 2017

dry. It is a widely-known fact that aloe Vera can be

used to achieve a great complexion.

Indian Basil

Commonly known as Tulsi. This plant has a number of

medicinal properties. Requires regular sunlight, so the

best place to keep this plant would be a sunny

window.

Dracaena

This plant does not require direct sunlight and can

grow up to 12 feet in height can place it near a sheer

curtain or a window

Spider Plant

The plant derived this unique name due to its

uniquely-shaped leaves, which dangle like spiders on a

web. The plant is also completely safe if you have pets.

If you see the plant turning a little brown, do not

worry. It is normal and it will get back to its green self

soon

Snake Plant

This plant is also called mother-in-law’s tongue or

Saint George’s sword. It is one of the top air-purifying

plants identified by NASA. This plant is one of the

easiest to grow and requires no extra attention.

Weeping Fig

This leafy plant helps against emissions from curtains,

carpets and furniture. The weeping fig initially takes

time to grow, but once it is in complete form, it can

grow up to 10 feet. Its Long lasting plant.

7. Post Plantation Care

• Water in trees at least once a week, barring rain, and more frequently during hot weather.

• Keep the soil moist but not soaked;

• Overwatering causes leaves to turn yellow or fall off.

• Other follow-up care may include minor pruning of branches damaged during the planting

process.

• Prune sparingly immediately after planting and wait to begin necessary corrective pruning

until after a full season of growth in the new location.

• Tree guard should be around the saplings until the plant reaching at mature stage.

• Fertilizers and pesticides/insecticides should be given proper time.





NOVEMBER’ 2017

• Construction workers shall be made aware regarding the importance of natural resources.

With suitable monitoring, pep talks, meetings and guidance provided.

8. IMPACT OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES ON BIODIVERSITY DIRECT, INDIRECT AND

CUMULATIVE IMPACT ON FLORA

• Direct Impact:

Clearing of project site for construction activities –Sparse vegetation of trees, shrub and herbs

which are commonly distributed throughout and none of rare, endangered or threatened or

endemic species was observed during survey / reported. These will be cleared during site

preparation. Therefore, the impact will be negligible and not very significant. Only one tree will be

cut during the clearing and construction time of project.

• Indirect Impact

• Construction activity is likely to affect the movement of the animal

• Increase in noise may affect the feeding, breeding and movement of animals. Felling of trees

may affect the avifauna.

• Likely settling of dust to be generated by movement of vehicles and other construction

activities on leaves may results in to stunted growth of vegetation and may also affect the

capacity of production.

• Large numbers of labour population will influx the area during construction phase.

• Dumping of huge quantity of excavated earth material may lead to loss of flora in the project

area

• The soil erosion due to natural and anthropogenic activities may cause major threat to survival

of vegetation.

• Cumulative Impact

• Indirect and cumulative impacts are associated with various construction activities such as

clearing of vegetation movement of vehicles, construction equipments & machineries etc,

interferences due to influx of labours etc.

• The losses of land for various project units will also not adversity affect the fauna as similar

habitat is present throughout the project immediate influenced area. Therefore, impact due

to loss of habitat for birds, reptiles and mammals of the project area is not expected.

• Impacts on surrounding fauna due to movement of vehicles, machinery, equipments and

work force may slightly interfere in animal movements.

• Intermittent settlements any adverse impacts on wildlife are ruled out.

Mitigation measures





NOVEMBER’ 2017

1. EFFECTIVE REMOVAL OF POLLUTANTS

1) Plants grow under conditions of adequate nutritional supply (for healthy and better growth),

2) Absence of water stress (to maintain openness of stomatal apertures and form of epidermal

structures),

3) Well-exposed to atmospheric conditions of light and breeze (i.e. away from engineering structures

hindering free flow of air) to maintain free interaction with gases.

• Plant leaves function as efficient gas exchange systems. Their internal structure allows rapid

diffusion of water-soluble gases. These characteristics allow the plant to respire and

photosynthesize, and they can also remove pollution from the air. Characters of plants

including shapes of crowns considered necessary for effecting absorption of pollutant gases

and removal of dust particles are as follows:

1) Tolerance towards pollutants in question, at concentrations, that are not too high ( to be

instantaneously lethal) They are good absorbers of sulphur dioxide. Roadside hedges can

reduce traffic generated air borne lead

2) Longer duration of foliage,

3) Freely exposed foliage , through

• Adequate height of crown,

• Openness of foliage in canopy,

• Big leaves( long and broad laminar surfaces),

• Large number of stomatal apertures,

• Stomata well- exposed ( in level with the general epidermal surface)

2. REMOVAL OF SUSPENDED PARTICULATE MATTER

1) Height and spread of crown,

2) Leaves supported on firm petioles,

3) Abundance of surfaces on bark and foliage, through

• Roughness of bark,

• Epidermal outgrowth on petioles,

• Abundance of auxiliary hairs,

• Hairs or scales on laminar surfaces,

• Stomata protected (by wax, arches/rings, hairs etc.)

The plant species should be capable of sorption of dust pollutants and barrier of noise pollution.

Combined deficiency of a variety of species will be contributed to reach the goals of restrict the

pollution.





NOVEMBER’ 2017

3. MITIGATION OF IMPACT

The mitigation measures of biological impacts are aimed at (in order of preference):

i) Avoid impact,

ii) Minimize impact,

iii) Rectify impact,

iv) Compensate for impact.

Setting aside or exclusion of critically important areas, compensatory afforestation, creation of green

belts, rehabilitation of species or individuals are basic actions taken for mitigation of impact. While

creating green belt and undertaking the afforestation works, it is required to plant indigenous/local

plants and as for as possible exotics should not be introduced. The cost of eco-restoration of the site

should be included in the project cost. This is desirable on two counts:

i) It ensures allocation of fund for undertaking the rehabilitation of the area during and also after the

project period is over.

ii) It also acts as deterrent in selection of site for the project by bringing in the cost of eco-restoration

which can be enormous in cases where activities are proposed on a critical ecosystems.

9. CONCLUSION

The present study is with the objective to minimize adverse environmental impacts as discussed. The

study covers all possible environmental issues involved in the project and the necessary mitigation

measures. It was observed that diversity of trees; shrub and herbs were in better at site. Native and

local species will be planted in post construction phase. Faunal diversity of the site was also very low.

Therefore, we can say that the biological diversity of the study site not much more impacted by the

present proposed infrastructure development and the sustainable environment scenario can be

retained by the proper plantation in post construction period.

F. THE SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

OBJECTIVES

The broad objectives of the socio-economic impact assessment are:

1. To study the socio-economic status of the people living in the study area.

2. To assess the impact on socio-economic environment due to the project concerned.

3. To evaluate the community development measures proposed to be taken up by the Project

Proponent, if any.

The studies carried out are descriptive and exploratory in nature.
