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 proposed project 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.

AIR ENVIRONMENT:

AMBIENT AIR MONITORING REPORT

Agency hired: Vison Labs

(Vendor code: EES/ ADM / LSUP/ 031/ 032):

Instrument used: Respirable Dust Sampler & Fine Particle Sampler, CO Analyzer

Sampling date: 26-27.05.2014, Duration: 24 hrs.

Parameter Observation Permissible

(maximum)

PM10 (µg/m3) 69.9 < 100

PM2.5 (µg/m3) 32.5 < 60

SO2 (µg/m3) 6.3 < 80

NO2 (µg/m3) 23.5 < 80

Co(µg/m3) 601 <2000

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

SOURCES MANAGEMENT

Dust & emissions from vehicular

exhaust.

• Regular sprinkling of water on the haul - road.

• Speed restriction of all vehicles.

• Vehicles will be checked for PUC certification.




The fugitive 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 will be suitably covered with tarpaulin

& overloading of the vehicles will be 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:

DG sets: Stack height calculation

There will be no additional DG set required for the project. Power back up to the common areas

and essential services will be arranged through existing DG set of capacity 250 kVA – 1 no. The

details are tabulated as under:

Stack

Height

1. 250 kVA- 2 nos. 40.8 l/hr/per DG 800-850 kg/cm3 0.05% 49.0 m

Calculation of stack height:

The stack height of proposed DG set is calculated as under:

H = 0.2 (√capacity of the DG set in kVA)

= 0.2 x (√250)

= 0.2 x 15.81

= 3.16 m

Say = 4.0 m

However, a safe stack height of 49.0 m above the roof of DG house will be provided .

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.

Model Input Data

For the modeling purpose, all pollutants as described above are considered. The details of stack

emissions and line emissions envisaged from the project are given in Table-1 (a) & (b).

Presentation of Results

In the present case, model simulations have been carried out for the study period. The Ground level

concentrations are computed for 24-hr average. Maximum Ground level concentrations of NOx and

CO for study period were 0.83 µg/m3 and 0.67 µg/m3 respectively. The obtained GLC’s are well

within the stipulated CPCB standards. The incremental ground level concentrations for NOx and CO

are given in Table-2 (a).

The maximum incremental GLCs due to the proposed project for NOx and CO are superimposed on

the maximum baseline concentrations recorded during the study period. The cumulative

concentrations (baseline+incremental) after implementation of the project are tabulated below in

Table-2 (b). The predicted ground level concentration isopleths for various parameters during

study period is given in Figure- 1 & 2 respectively.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

During construction phase following will be the tentative sources of noise:

Name of Source Noise level at 16 m from

source {dB (A)}

Noise level at 1 m from source

{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.

The predicted noise levels based on the above analysis at the project boundary considering that

there is no attenuation on account of barriers, will be as follows:

LOCATION MAX.EXISTING MAX. PREDICTED RESULTANT MAX

Project Site 54.2 56 58.2

All values are in dB(A)

From the above, it is clearly seen that there will be no significant impact on the surrounding

community due to noise from the proposed activity.

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.




CONSTRUCTION PHASE:

SOURCES MANAGEMENT

Major sources of

noise pollution:

• Vehicular traffic

• Heavy moving

machinery

• Operation of D.G.

sets, etc.

• The construction area will be shielded with help of tarpaulin sheets.

• Complete construction work especially heavy earth work will be done during day

time.

• Traffic planning and management will be made adequate to ensure uninterrupted

traffic movement in the area so as to minimize the noise due to congestion.

• The vehicles will be regularly maintained and optimum use of the same will be

made.

• Moving parts of the machines will be maintained properly so as to avoid metal-

to-metal impact noise.

• The D.G. sets used will be eco - friendly with minimum noise.

• Ear - plugs will be provided to the workers.


SOURCES MANAGEMENT

• The source of

noise in the post

construction

phase may be

due to the road

traffic, operation

of D.G. sets.

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

• D.G. sets 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 will 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 will be less starting and stopping and the vehicles will be speed restricted to

ensure the noise remains within the permissible limits.

• The area will cover 20.40% (5,364.07 sq.m.) area under landscape, which will help

to absorb noise.




ENERGY:

• The DG sets will be used only in case of power cuts or failure for back up. Low - sulphur -

content fuel (Sulphur content 0.05%) will be used.

• Energy - efficient compact Fluorescent Lamps to be used as these CFL give same illumination

with less wattage compared to GLS Lamps.

• Sodium vapour lights will be used for external lighting.

• Power factor will be maintained around 0.90 and above. All capacitors will be provided with

Harmonic Filters to avoid distortion in Voltage

• to minimize the losses.

• Insulation of exposed walls and roof will be done to minimize heat gains inside the building.

This will help to reduce the air conditioning demand of the buildings.

BIODIVERSITY

Biodiversity is often taken to refer mainly to the diversity of species, especially where conservation

is under discussion. Biotic component comprises of both plant animal communities which interact

not only within and between them self but also with abiotic i.e. physical and chemical components

of the environment. 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. In

certain cases it is also considered desirable to conduct vegetation analysis using standard phyto-

sociological methods.

Field studies were undertaken in the month of April 2014. The proposed site and habitats adjacent

to the site were surveyed for flora and fauna species, consequently, little habitat for native species

exists and fauna species composition on-site is very low.

1. SCOPE OF WORK

The biological study of the area has been conducted in order to understand the ecological

status of the existing flora and fauna to generate baseline information and evaluate the

probable impacts on the biological environment.

The present scope of work was undertaken with the following objectives:

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

project area.

• To assess the frequency, density, abundance, Importance Value Index (IVI) and

Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index (flora).




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

from the local residents and authenticated list of flora and fauna by the Department of

Forest, Govt. of Rajasthan, Rajasthan.

• 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 wetlands and other ecologically sensitive areas such as national parks/

sanctuaries.

• To provide the conservation plan and suggestion / recommendation for social forestry

green belt / plantation.

• 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.

2. DESCRIPTION OF THE STUDY AREA

The site is located between latitude 26°50'14.83"N and longitudes 75°37'2.68"E at Bhankrota,

District-Jaipur, Rajasthan. The site is about 21 km from Jaipur towards Ajmer on Jaipur-Ajmer

highway.

3. METHODOLOGY

To achieve the above objectives, study of the area was undertaken at project site. The field

sampling was conducted during the period of April 2014.

FLORAL STUDY

The vegetation sampling was carried out by using the least count quadrate method across

different habitats. The quadrants are useful for quantification of density and abundance of the

vegetation in the study area. The size and number of quadrates needed were determined using

the species area curve (Mishra, 1968) and the running mean method (Kershaw, 1973).

Summarization of previously used methods and recommendations led to the use of more than

often (10x10m) quadrates laid out for sampling the tree stratum and 1x1m quadrates for herbs and

grasses. DBH of trees was also determined. All individuals > 10 cm GBH (Girth at Breast Height)

were included in tree category. However, for examining the shrub species 3x3m sample plots were

laid out.




The data collected for biodiversity information were quantitatively analyzed for density, frequency,

abundance and Shannon-Wiener Diversity Index. The relative values of frequency, density and

dominance of all the species were summed up to represent Importance Value Index (IVI). The

followings are the formulae to derive frequency, density, abundance, Importance Value Index (IVI)

etc.

Shanon – Weaver Index (1948):

The number of species and number of individuals in a community is measure of species

diversity which depends on stability of the habitat. Vegetation of the study area was assess by

determining Shannon – Weaver diversity index (1948)

3.2 FAUNA:

FAUNAL STUDY

Primary faunal studies were conducted during study in and around the project site.

The different methods adopted were as follows:

• Physical observation by the survey method conducted in the study area for the faunal

diversity study.

• Secondary data were gathered from the local habitant with the discussion.

• Data collected from the other sources for the complete biological environmental studies.

• Rapid surveys were carried out at the Siddha Aaagan site at Bhankrota, district Jaipur (Raj).

Intensive surveys were conducted at study site, which would be subjected to higher degree

of disturbance by project related activities. Data on the presence/absence of the different

faunal species in the project area was recorded largely based on direct and indirect

evidence such as tracks, spoors, dung and calls. Secondary information sources such as

published information, unpublished reports, personal communication and informal interviews

with villagers were also taken into account for supplementing primary data collected during

field studies. Standard field guides were used for identification of faunal species during the

surveys (Peater, 1980).

• Avifaunal studies (Bird surveys) were conducted at the sampling points marked for intensive

study. While traversing the area, birds were identified either by direct sighting or by calls.

Casual observations were also recorded as and when the team moved through the study

area. Field guide by Ali & Ripley, (1983) was used to identify bird species. Existing

checklists of avian species (Anon., 1998) of the project area was also consulted and

validated.

ENDANGERED/ THREATENED/ENDEMIC ANIMALS

Faunal studies were also conducted during April 2014. During the survey of the study site, no

threatened/ endemic species in and around the study area were observed.

4.0 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.

The plan with a five-fold objective addresses issues such as

� prevention of land degradation due to activities during construction phase;

� enhancing the forest cover for increasing the biodiversity of the region;

� providing aesthetic value to the project area and consequently inviting a

proportionate tourist flux;

� Enhancing the ecological equilibrium of the area;




� A large proportion in combating soil erosion.

4.1 Criteria for selection of plant species

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

the area the following additional aspects should also be considered;

� Fast growing and perennial species;

� Large leaf area index;

� 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;

5.0 Guidelines and Techniques for Greenbelt Development

A detailed survey was conducted with respect to existing, vegetation, types, diversity

and density etc. in the project area for development of greenbelt around project

components. The greenbelt plan has been formulated considering the parameters

such as climate, soil types etc. Greenbelt within and outside the premises will

attenuate dust emission and noise during construction. The greenbelt is also

developed for the efficient use of land and to improve the aesthetic quality of the

environment.

A careful plan of the plantation is necessary for the most efficient and economic

management. The following points should be borne in mind while developing the

greenbelt are:

� Trees growing up to 10 m or above in height with perennial foliage will be

planted around the proposed project.

� Planting of trees will be undertaken in appropriate encircling rows around the

project site.

� Generally fast growing species will be planted. Plant species should be

selected as per the environmental scenario and condition of the proposed

study site.

� Evergreen trees should be planted.




� Short growing trees should be allotted at the front and tall at the back for easy

watching and to improve the appearance.

� A good fence is essential. Live fencing is economic and cheap to other kind of

fences. The plants suitable for live fencing should be drought resistant, easy to

propagate from seed, quick growing, have dense foliage, should stand severe

pruning and should be thorny.

The inter-connecting/approach roads to various project components, within the

colonies, working sites will be developed with avenue plantation, at a distance of 2 – 3

m wherever required tree guards shall be installed for protection of these plants.

The shrubs and climbers should be planted even in between the tree spaces.

Farmyard manure should also be applied to the pits of the plants for good survival.

A nursery should be created for supply of saplings, and its maintenance should be

followed. However, the saplings could also be obtained from nurseries being

developed for compensatory afforestation.

5.1 Selection of Plant Species

Keeping in view the climatic conditions, status of soils and vegetation types in and

around the project area the following species of plants have been found suitable for

plantation around the colonies, road sides and various components of the project.

Plants species for greenbelt development are as in Table 1.

In addition to above some flowering plants, shrubs, herbs, and climber plants species

will also be planted for beautification in the project area.

5.2 Spacing and Pit Size

The spacing and pit size would be vary according to the choice of species and

compatibility of various species to grow together in a niche. Small trees would be

planted at a distance of 3 m apart, while broadleaf species would be planted at a

spacing of 5 m. The pit size would be 30 cm x 30 cm x 30 cm for shrubs and herbs

whereas for the broadleaf species the size of 3 x 3 x 3 foot needs to be adopted.

5.3 Fencing and Closure




A minimum block plantation would be undertaken by providing barbed wire fencing

including watch and ward for assuring protection from biotic interference.

5.4 Plantation Guard and Protection from Fire

Protection of plantation is greatest challenge from villagers and their cattle damage

the plantations before they are established. Hence protection of plantation is of

paramount importance and guards should be arranged for two to three years. Most of

the plants shall be guarded against fire, mainly in the summer season.

5.6 Post Plantation Care

� When the soil is dry below the surface of the mulch, it is time to water.

� Keep the soil moist but not soaked;

� Overwatering causes leaves to turn yellow or fall off.

� Water in trees at least once a week, barring rain, and more frequently during

hot weather.

� Continue until mid-fall, tapering off for lower temperatures that require less-

frequent watering.

� 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.

6.0 IMPACT OF PROJECT ACTIVITIES ON BIODIVERSITY

DIRECT, INDIRECT AND CUMULATIVE IMPACT ON FLORA




� Direct Impact

� Clearing of project site for construction activities – The project site is a waste rocky

land with sparse growth of trees and spiny shrub which are commonly distributed

throughout and none of rare, endangered or threatened or endemic species was

observed during survey / reported. Therefore no impact on biodiversity is

envisaged.

� 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 running of

crusher for 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.

The major threat to surrounding flora is through collection of fuel wood by labour for

cooking purposes and thereby loss of trees.

� 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 for establishment of various project units, movement

of vehicles, construction equipments & machineries etc, interferences due to influx

of labours etc.

� The loss of land for various project unit 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. As most of

the domestic animals Cows, Buffaloes, Goats, Sheep’s and Donkeys are guided &




controlled by the owners/caretakers and hence any causality in terms of killing or

accident are not expected.

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

7.0 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.

� 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)

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)

7.1 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.

8.0 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.

9.0 RECOMMENDATION

At present the project site is a barren waste land with sparse growth of herbs and

shrub and few trees

� Construction activities will be restricted to day hours only.




� Poaching of animals by labourers will be strictly prohibited. It may be

ensured by the contractors that no hunting is practiced at the site by any

of the workers.

� Ward and watch for the animal movement in and around the project area

during construction phase will be provided.

� Environment and Wildlife Conservation awareness program will be

organized for both work force and surrounding villages.

� All the vehicles delivering materials to the site shall be covered to avoid

spillage of material.

� Approach road used by vehicles shall be kept clean and clear of dust.

� All earth work shall be protected to minimize dust generation.

� All crusher used in construction shall confirm to relative dust emission

devises.

� All vehicles equipment machinery used in construction shall be fitted by exhaust

silencers.

� Equipments should be maintained regularly and sound proof gadgets should be

used.

� Cutting of trees should be strictly prohibited in the area for other construction

work.

� Provision of proper fencing to the plantation area.

� Watchman should be provided to care of plantation for 3-5 years

10.0 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 were

low while the shrub and herbs were in quite better in diverse condition which can be

sustain by the cultivation of native and local species in post construction phase.

Faunal diversity of the site was also low but avifaunal diversity of the site is much

better than the other faunal diversity. 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 landscaping. Taking appropriate mitigation measures for the

sustainable environment at the site and the surrounding area is our sole

responsibility.
