Chapter-1 Introduction

1.1 PREFACE

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the

possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on

the environment, together consisting of the environmental, social and

economic aspects. It is an assessment and management tool that

evaluates the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project

may have on the environment. EIA systematically examines both

beneficial and adverse consequences of the project and ensures that

these effects are taken into account during project design. The purpose of

the assessment is to ensure that decision makers consider the ensuing

environmental impacts when deciding to proceed with a project.

As India is a developing country, lots of industrialization has been came

in focus since last few decades that ultimately leads the bigger issues

related the environmental quality of the country. Hence, it is needful for

Government of India to control the haphazard industrial development by

providing sustainable development under the legislation.

In India, Ministry of Environment and Forests has defined elaborated

“Environmental Clearance (EC)” framework along with requirements for

preparing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the

Environmental (Protection) Act, 1986 (Environmental Impact Assessment

Notification, 2006) for establishing/expanding and industry/development

projects although it supports development but only if the development

does not hamper the environment over a defined threshold limit.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Industrial development in India has increased economic growth and

improved living standards of people. These growths are achieved through

industrialization, infrastructure development. Industrialization has played

a major role in development of the country. It also has many other

benefits. Although the industrial development leads to rapid consumption

of natural resources, fuel etc. in day to day operational activity. These

will deteriorating resources and increase emissions of waste in terms of



solid, liquid& gaseous. To control the pollutions from industrial activity,

government has framed regulations which are governed by Ministry of

Environment, Forest & Climate change in India.Environment Impact

analysis is mandatory as per the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)

Notification issued by Ministry of Environment, Forest & Climate change

(MoEF&CC), New Delhi dated 14th September, 2006 and its subsequent

amendment; for setting up a new projects or activities, or expansion or

modernization of existing projects or activities based on their potential

environmental impacts as indicated in the Schedule to the notification,

being undertaken in any part of India, unless prior environmental

clearance has been accorded.

Proposed expansion activity of M/s. Concord Biotech Ltd. falls under

the schedule of 5(f) of schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 “Synthetic

Organic Chemical Industries” and categorized under “A”. Therefore, unit

requires prior Environmental Clearance for proposed expansion project.

• What steps will you take to control Air pollution?

• Representative of the company’s informed that, no air emission during process because this is a biotechnology process and if any poisonous substance present, then product cannot produce. This process is complete after 8 to 9 days once it starts and this process is done in closed reactor. Once it starts then it cannot be stopped in between and restarted again. So there is no air pollution until the process is over. This process is like the same process of fermentation we are doing at home.

12. Name: Vikram Makawana Vill: Jalalpur Godhaneshwar

• Chemical water comes out from the unit, so what safety measures will you take to avoid any harm to people?

• Representative of the company’s informed that, this process is fermentation based process, in which mainly edible substances like Soybean flour, Sucrose, Dextrose and edible oil are used and no inedible substance are used in it. If any inadequate substance is used, then the fermentation process does not go forward. w/w generated at the end of



this process has little TDS and high COD, which is bio degradable. It is treated in existing ETP and reuse after treatment. Not any w/w discharge outside the premises.

13. Name: Budhabhai Makawana Vill: Jalalpur Godhaneshwar

• What steps will you take to ensure that the people of the surrounding villages get jobs after its expansion?

• Explain briefly about the manufacturing of medicine from biotechnology.

• Representative of the company's informed that, this is a fermentation process in which certain types of Enzymes are used in specific types of medicine. It produces 1 to 2% of the drug. The process lasts for 8 to 10 days. The medicine made at the end of this process is extracted and purified. Fermentation is the main part of the process.

1.8 OBJECTIVE OF EIA

EIA is a policy and management tool for both planning and

decisionmaking. EIA assists in identification, prediction and evaluation of

theforeseeable environmental consequences of proposed developmental

andindustrial projects.

The objectives of the present EIA Study is to assess the impacts

onvarious environmental components due to the proposed project

activity, identify potential source of pollution, evaluate impact on

environment andto recommend appropriate environmental management

system andenvironment management plan for the unit to ensure that the

adverseimpacts if any will be minimized. Moreover, to prepare an

EnvironmentalStatement to indicate conclusively if the overall impacts

are positive ornegative.

1.9 METHODOLOGY FOR EIA

Environmental Assessment (EA), another term used in the

environmentalstudies, refers to an understanding of the present status of

environmentand a study of how to manage them. Keeping in view the

nature and sizeof the proposed project and industrial area and various



guidelinesavailable, it was decided to cover an area of 10-km radius from

thecenter of proposed plant site for the purpose of environmental

impactassessment study. The methodology is briefly reported below and

hasbeen described in this section.

Baseline data collection

The baseline data for the impact zone have been generated for the

following environmental parameters.

• Ambient Air Quality

• Micrometeorology

• Noise Level

• Surface &Ground Water Quality

• Soil Quality

• Ecology &Biodiversity

• Land use pattern

• Socio-Economics

The baseline status of the above environmental parameters has been

worked out based on the rapid monitoring/analysis carried out during the

study period of March, 2016 to May, 2016 supplemented by data

collected from various Government Departments, census publications etc.

The data is collected and analyzed as per the standard methods for

establishing the baseline data and so determine the impact of proposed

activity on the same.

Evaluation of Impact from Project Activities

The Environmental Impact resulting from the various project activities,

have been identified, predicted and evaluated based on the study of

manufacturing process and other project related activities as well as

correlating the same with existing baseline status.

Preparation of Environmental Management Plan

Environmental Management Plan has been prepared covering pollution

prevention measures at source in terms of air and water pollution control

measures, solid waste/hazardous waste management, safety

management, greenbelt development, environmental surveillance and

environmental surveillance and environmental management team.



Finally, the detailed assessment of the resultant environmental impacts

have been made based on the impacts identification and evaluated from

the activities over the baseline status of various environmental

components to reduce the pollution and to delineate a comprehensive

environment management plan along with recommendations and

suggestions to improve environment management system.

2.14 GENERATION OF POLLUTANTS

The sources of pollution will be as below:

2.14.1 Wastewater Generation

After proposed expansion, total wastewater generation will be increased

from 210.0 KLD to 399.0 KLD which include effluent from process,

washing, utilities, reject from water treatment & sewage effluent. Total

wastewater generation will be 399.0 KLD (including industrial and non-

industrial sources), out of which 351.0 KLD will be industrial wastewater

and 48.0 KLD will be domestic w/w. The breakup of wastewater

generation (existing & after proposed expansion) are given in Table

2.7.Water balance diagram showing existing and after expansion scenario

is given in Figure 2.1 & 2.2.

2.14.2 Air Pollution

Main source of air emission will be point source & fugitive emission. There

will be no process gas emission. At present, flue gas emission is from one

common stack of 2 nos. of steam boiler, furnace Oil (FO)is used as fuel.

After expansion, one boiler will be modified/replace in terms of capacity

from 3 TPH to 8 TPH. Therefore,FO consumption will also increase from

820 kg/hr. to 1100 kg/hr. Most probable emitted pollutants from flue gas

stacks will be SPM, SO2and NOx.

Unit has installed D. G. Sets with capacity of 1000 kVA& 680 kVA. After

expansion, one D. G. set of 680 kVA will be dismantled and 3 new stand-

by D.G. sets with capacity of 1000 kVA each will be installed to fulfill

power requirement in case of non-availability of power/emergency. HSD

will be used as a fuel. Probable pollutants likely to emit will be SPM,

SO2&NOx, but it will not the constant source of emission as it will be used

in case of power failure only. Details of the stacks are given in Table

2.12.

Sources of fugitive emission:

The fugitive emission such as VOCs & Dust (PM) is likely to be emitted

from material handling area, process area, solvent storage area.

Solvent use and recycle

Solvents are used for extraction of products. Used solvents are recovered

by distillation system and reuse in next process of extraction of products.



The solvent residues which are mainly organic in nature and contain

significant calorific value are sent for co-processing.Schematic diagram of

solvent recovery system is presented in Figure 2.4.

2.14.3 Hazardous waste generation

Hazardous wastesare generated from process, solvent distillation,

wastewater treatment& utilities. The effluent treatment system generates

ETP sludge & MEE salts and process operations generate spent carbon.

Distillation of solvents generates solvent residue. D.G. sets generate

waste oil. Other waste is discarded containers/bags/liners. After

expansion, sources of Haz. Waste generation will remain same and there

will be increase in the quantity of the hazardous waste generation.The

details of hazardous waste generation with its category as per HWM

Rules, 2016are given in Table 2.16.

2.14.4 Noise Generation

Main source of noise generation is boiler, reactor, process plant, vehicular

transportation & other machineries.There will be slight increase in noise

level due to proposed manufacturing activities, due to installation of some

new additional mechanical equipment required for the proposed

expansion. The noise level in the unit is well within the prescribed limit.

2.15 POLLUTION CONTROL STRATEGY

The details of pollution control strategy for various parameters are given

hereunder,

2.15.1 Effluent Management

The industry is manufacturing pharmaceutical products using

biotechnology process. The manufacturing activities of these products

generate wastewater from the process, washing and utilities. After

proposed expansion, total wastewater generation will be increased from

210.0 KLD to 399.0 KLD.Wastewater generated from process, washing

&utility is directly sent to ETP having primary & secondary treatment

units.Domestic effluent is also sent to ETP along with industrial

wastewater. Reject from first stage RO will be sent to second stage RO.

Reject fromsecond stage RO will be sent to MVR/MEE. Condensate of

MVR/MEE & permeate of second stage ROwill be used in Cooling.Entire

quantity of treated water from ETP is utilized for greenbelt



development.To treat the wastewater generated from the production

activities as well as domestic usage, the industry have full-fledge effluent

treatment plant with the designed capacity of 400 m3/day.After

expansion, unit will treat its effluent in exiting ETP.Design details of ETP

are given in Table 2.8and flow diagram of ETP is given as Figure 2.3.

Details of the Effluent Treatment scheme are described below.

Effluent treatment scheme:

To considering high suspended solids due to microbes (broth) in industrial

effluent, unit has installed decanter as a pre-treatment to remove it

before primary treatment.Effluent from collection tank flows to Oil &

Grease trap. The oil and grease are removed in this unit. The effluent

then flows to the equalization cum neutralization tanks. Adding the

chemicals viz. lime, alum and poly electrolyte depending upon the quality

of incoming effluent, neutralizes the effluent here. For air requirement

diffused aeration system is provided in this unit. The neutralized effluent

is flows to the primary clarifier where quiescent condition is provided for

settlement of settable solids. The sludge settled in the primary clarifier

taken to the sludge drying bed or decanter collection tank while the

supernatant is subjected to the biological treatment.

The supernatant from the clarifier is taken to the aeration tank. Biological

degradation of the organic matter occurs in the aeration tank in presence

of the oxygen. Effluent containing biomass from aeration tank flows to

the secondary Clarifier. Here the settlement of the biomass takes place

under quiescent condition. Settled biomass is either recycled in to the

aeration tank to maintain the MLSS concentration or can be taken in to

the sludge drying bed or decanter collection tank.

Biologically treated effluent will be passed through two stageRO. Reject

from first stage RO will be sent to second stage RO. Reject fromsecond

stage RO will be sent to MVR/MEE. Condensate of MVR/MEE & permeate

of second stage ROwill be used in Cooling.Entire quantity of treated water

from ETP is utilized for greenbelt development.

The decanter feed pump transfer to the decanter where the solid and

liquid are segregate. The solids are collected or dried in sludge dryer and

then after packedinto the HDPE bag. The liquid from decanteris transferto



collection tank or equalization tank. Sludge bags are stored in Hazardous

waste storage area.

2.15.2 Air Pollution Control Measures

The industry has two boilers (out which 1 is stand-by) to generate steam

required for different process activities, Furnace Oil is used as fuel in both

the boilers. After expansion, one boiler will be modified/replace in terms

of capacity from 3 TPH to 8 TPH. Air pollution is caused due to emissions

from the boilers due to combustion of fuel. Due to use of liquid fuel i.e.

FO, no need of APCM except appropriate stack height as per CPCB

guideline. There will be no process emission from the unit.

Unit has installed D.G. Sets with capacity of 1000 kVA & 680 kVA. After

expansion, D.G. set of 680 kVA will be dismantled and 3 new stand-by

D.G.sets with capacity of 1000 kVA each will be installed to fulfill power

requirement in case of non-availability of power/emergency. HSD will be

used as a fuel. Probable pollutants likely to emit will be SPM, SO2 and

NOx, but it will not the constant source of emission as it will be used in

case of power failure only. Details of the stacks with height are given in

Table 2.12.

Fugitive Emission Control

To control fugitive emission, following steps will be implemented:

• Entire process will be carried out in closed reactors.

• Pneumatically transfer of liquid raw material in rector.

• Regular maintenance of valves, pipes

• PPEs will be provided to the workers.

• Frequent work area monitoring will be done ensure fugitive

emissions level.

• Greenbelt will be developed in and around the plant to capture the

fugitive emission.

2.15.3 HazardousWaste Management

Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as per

Hazardous & Other waste (Managementand Transboundary Movement)

Rules, 2016.Currently unit is disposed its ETP sludge at TSDF site, SEPPL.

ETP sludge generation is mainly from biological treatment and source of

effluent is also from biotechnology process. It has good NPK value and no



hazardousness primarily found in sludge analysis. So unit proposed to use

it as manure and will obtain necessary permission from concerned

department. Distillation residue is sent to SEPPL for incineration or to

RSPL for co-processing, spent carbon is sent to SEPPL for incineration or

to RSPL for co-processing or for co-processing at Ambuja Cement

Limited,used lubricating oil is used within premises as a lubricant and in

case of excess; disposed by selling to registered re-refiners. Whereas

discarded drums/containers are reuse or incase of excess,disposed off by

selling to registered recyclers. Off specific products will be disposed to

CHWIF for incineration/sent for co-processing. Unit has provided isolated

area with impervious flooring for the storage of hazardous waste. Thus,

hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will be

adequate and there will not be any major impact on the environment due

to hazardous waste management. The details of hazardous waste

generation are given in Table2.16.

2.15.4 Type of microbes in extraction and its disposal

The source of vegetative microbesculturesis from microbiology laboratory

is amplified in fermentation at plant level. The broth is treatedby aerobic

biological treatment and it is not hazardous in nature. The extraction

process is given in each process and for disposal; the waste is

deactivated and deactivated broth are dewatered along with ETP sludge

in in-house decanter and finally disposed at TSDF site and proposed to

use as manure in agriculture farm. List of microbes used in fermentation

process are summarized below.

2.15.5 Noise Pollution Control

Noise is anticipated from boilers, machineries, D. G. set, reactors etc. The

D. G. set shall be kept in a separate room with acoustic enclosure. The

motors and compressors shall be mounted properly to ensure the

reduction of noise and vibration. The employees working in noise

generating areas shall be provided with appropriate Personnel Protective

Equipments (PPEs). The greenbelt area will be developed within industrial



premises and around the periphery to prevent the noise pollution in

surrounding area.

2.16 RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Rainwater harvesting is the accumulation and deposition of rainwater for

reuse on-site, rather than allowing it to run off. It is widely used system

throughout the world. Rain water from terraces/rooftop areas shall be

collected through rain water down-take pipes & collected to catch basins

or stored in rain water tanks. However, the rain water from plant area

and parking area may contaminated and not advise to collect directly to

catch basins. Rain water harvesting pits shall be provided wherever

feasible so that maximum rain water recharged into the ground before it

reaches the storm water mains.

In designing any Rainwater harvesting structure, capturing rainfall and

runoff for local use is the key concept. Hard surface such as roof

pavements and roads that decrease groundwater percolation constitute

catchments and generate the high runoff which has to be diverted into

the storage tank & recharged into ground water regime through simple

filtration & injection well system for subsequent extraction by service

wells. To improve water availability, rainwater harvesting is the most

imminent & short-term solution.In view of above, rainwater harvesting

structures at this point can serve the purpose of arresting roof top

rainwater and runoff generated through roads in the area. The design is

based on average annual rainfall and its intensity and the intake capacity

of the water by the aquifers.

Design of Rain Water Harvesting:

For good design of rainwater harvesting, following points are to be kept

under consideration:

• Ideal location with good ground slope

• The location has adequate subsurface permeability of the aquifer to

accommodate maximum recharge of rainwater through injection

well.

• Rate of filtration should exceed average rainfall intensity.

• Clogging of filtration media should be cleaned periodically.

• Ground water pollution does not take place.

Chapter-3 Description of Environment

3.1 GENERAL

To assess environmental impacts from proposed project at a specific

location, it is essential to monitor the existing environmental quality

prevailing in the surrounding area prior to implementation of the project.

The environmental status within the impact zone could be used for

identification of significant environmental issues to be addressed in the

impact assessment study. Baseline data generation forms a part of the

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study and helps to evaluate the

predicted impacts on the various environmental attributes in the study

area by using scientifically developed and widely accepted impact

assessment methodologies.

This section contains the description of baseline studies of 10 km radius

surrounding the project site. The baseline study was carried out to

understand following environmental parameters.

• Land Environment

• Meteorology

• Air Environment

• Water Environment

• Soil Environment

• Noise Environment

• Biological Environment

• Socio-economic Environment

The data collected has been used to understand the existing environment

scenario around the project site against which the potential impacts of

the proposed project can be assessed.

3.2 STUDY AREA

The unit is located at Plot No. 1482-1486, Trasad Road, Taluka: Dholka,

Dist.: Ahmedabad, Gujarat. An area of 10 km radius from the boundary

of the project site is considered as study area for the EIA study as per the

TOR issued by MoEF&CC.

3.3 STUDY PERIOD

Baseline environmental quality represents the background scenario of

various environmental components. As part of EIA study, baseline

environmental monitoring was done over a radial distance of 10 km

around the project site during the period of Mar, 2016 to May, 2016.

3.4 SOURCE OF ENVIRONMENTAL DATA GENERATION

Baseline information on micrometeorology, ambient air quality, water

quality, noise level, soil quality and ecology (flora-fauna) are generated

by M/s. San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd., an Environment Consultants,

Ahmedabad. Apart from these, secondary data have been collected from

census book, revenue records, soil survey and forest department,

meteorological department etc. The generation of primary as well as

collection of secondary data &information from the site and surrounding

was carried out during the period of Mar, 2016 to May,2016.

3.5 METHODOLOGY

The process & methodology adopted for various environmental attributes

in the study is as follows:

To assess the Air environment in the study area, monitoring of the Air

quality was done by setting up reconnaissance. The samples were

collected by installation of Respirable Dust Sampler (RDS) Sampler

(with gaseous attachment & FPS facility) at different locations for

monitoring of primary air pollutants to work out the existing status of

air quality.



Ground water samples& surface water samples were analyzed for the

parameters necessary to determine water quality (based on IS:

10500-2012 criteria) and those which are relevant from the point of

view of environmental impacts of the project site.

Soil samples were collected using an Auger and analyzed for relevant

physico-chemical characteristics in order to assess the impact on soil.

The noise level monitoring was done at various locations at different

intervals of time with the help of sound level meter.

Socio-economic data was collected from field studies and secondary

sources like Census of India 2011, Revenue record, etc.

3.6 LAND ENVIRONMENT

Land Cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth (includes

grass, trees, bare ground, water etc.); whereas Land use is the human

use of land. Studies on land use aspects of eco-system play an important

role in identifying susceptible issues and to take appropriate action to

uphold ecological equilibrium in the region. Main objective is to provide a

baseline status of the study area so that temporal changes due to the

proposed activities on the surroundings can be assessed in future.

3.6.1 Land use pattern of the Study Area

The study area of 10-km around the project site is considered in the land

use pattern study. The term land-use indicates the way in which the land

is utilized for different purposes. The land-use distribution of the study

area is given in Table 3.2.Land-use map is given in Figure 3.12.

3.8 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY

3.8.1 Introduction

To quantify the impact of the proposed project on the ambient air quality,

it is necessary to evaluate the existing ambient air quality of the area.

The ambient air quality monitoring with respect to the study area of 10

km radius around the project site was done for the baseline information.



3.8.2 Design Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations

The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through

a scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The

design of monitoring network is based on the following considerations:

Topography/Terrain of the study area

Populated areas within the region

Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their likely

occurrence under prevailing meteorological conditions

Representation of regional background

Representatives of likely impact areas

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were placed at eight

locations with due consideration to the above mentioned points.

3.8.3 Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air

environment in the study region. The prime objective of the NAAQ

survey, within 10 km radial study area around the proposed project, was

to establish the existing ambient air quality levels. The monitoring

locations (relative directions and distances) are given in Table 3.15&

shown in Figure 3.7and results are given in Table 3.16 to 3.21.

3.8.4 Parameters, Frequency and monitoring Methodology

well within National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS-CPCB) of 60

μg/m3 and have negligible adverse impact by proposed project activities.

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of arithmetic

mean at all the locations ranged from 16.5-22.1μg/m3 and 19.8-

28.3μg/m3 respectively, which are well below National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS-CPCB) of 80 μg/m3 and have negligible

adverse impact by proposed project activities.

3.9 WATER ENVIRONMENT

3.9.1 Hydro-Geology of the Study Area

Geology of study area

Geologically the area consists of Quaternary alluvium with a few sporadic

outcrops of Deccan Trap and Limestone toward the southern parts of

region. The geological set up of the area is somewhat similar to that of

Cambay Basin. The south west area viz. Part of Barvada, Ranpur and

Dhandhuka is made up of Basalt Rock. While rest area of the district is

consist of alluvial formation. This is made up of alternate beds of Clay

and Sand.

Hydrogeology of study area

Geohydrologically, major parts of the district consist of alluvial

formation.Alluvial formation is made up of Sand, clay, kankers, silt and

gravels. In thisformation water is available under confined and

unconfined conditions.Remaining area is made up of Basalt. This is very



poor in ground wateravailability and yield. Sufficient discharge is available

from alluvial formation.Thickness of Alluvium in north- west part of the

area is more. Average depth oftube-well in eastern part ranges from 90-

120 mts and in north- west part it is350 to 400 Mts.Generally water

supply schemes of Ahmedabad district are based on deep tubewells.Due

to heavy drilling activity and over extraction of ground water sincelast

two decades, there is a sharp decline in water levels and in the quality

ofwater.From the observation and study of the relevant information of

GWRDC Tube Wells in and around the study area it is inferred that

In and around the study area ground water occurs in Alluvium aquifers

which comprises of alternate beds of sand, clay, kankar mixed with

clay are occurring in this area.

The thickness and extent of this aquifer vary with respect to space and

depth.

In this area ground water occurs in the zone of primary porosity. The

quantity of ground water stored in the aquifer depends on the grain

size of the aquifer material, its hydraulic characteristics and thickness.

Ground water is mainly occurring under unconfined shallow confined,

deep confined or more precisely semi-confined conditions.

From the above observations, of GWRDC tube well data it is observed that

Ground water occursunder confined or more precisely semi-confined

conditions.

3.10 WATER QUALITY

3.10.1 Introduction

Water quality assessment is one of the essential components of EIA

study. Such assessment helps in evaluating the existing health of water

body and suggesting appropriate mitigation measures to minimize the

potential impact from development projects. The water quality at the site

and other locations within the 10-km impact zone was monitored during

the study period.The purpose of the study is to:

• Assess the water quality characteristics for critical parameters;

• Evaluate the impact on agricultural productivity, habitat conditions

recreational resources and aesthetics in the vicinity; and



• Predict the likely impacts on water quality due to the project and

related activities.

Reconnaissance survey was undertaken and monitoring locations were

finalized based on:

• Location of residential areas representing different activities/likely

impact areas; and

• Likely areas, which can represent baseline conditions.

3.10.2 Sampling Frequency, Techniques & Methodology

Five surface water and eight groundwater samples were collected during

the study period. Ground water samples were collected from the existing

bore wells, while surface water was collected from ponds/river by surface

water sampler. These samples were taken as grab samples.Necessary

precautions were taken for preservation of samples.Sampling locations

with source & date of sampling is given in Table 3.10.

The samples collection procedure was adopted from ‘Standard Methods’

for the examination of Water and Wastewater published by American

Public Health Association (APHA) and IS 10500-2012.The samples were

analyzed for Physico-chemical parameters to assess the existing water

quality of the area (based on IS: 10500-2012&APHA/AWWA, 22nd

edition). The water sampling locations marked within the study area and

the result of the analysis (ground water and surface water) is presented

3.11 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. The definition of noise as

unwanted sound implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings

and their environment. The noise level variation can be temporal, spatial.

It interferes with speech and hearing and is intense enough to damage

hearing or is otherwise annoying. Noise can also disturb natural wildlife

and ecological system. It is therefore, necessary to measure both the

quality as well as the quantity of noise in and around the proposed site.



3.11.1 Instrument used for Sampling and Monitoring

The intensity of sound energy in the environment is measured in a

logarithmic scale and is expressed in a decibel, dB(A) scale. Sound Level

Meter (SLM) is used for the collection of data related to noise at an

interval of one hour. The day noise levels have been monitored during

6:00 am to 10:00 pm and night noise levels during 10:00 pm to 6:00 am

at all the eight locations. Noise levels recorded at each station are

computed for equivalent noise levels. Noise monitoring methodology is

given in Table 3.11.

3.11.2 Noise Quality Monitoring Locations

The noise survey was conducted to assess the background noise levels in

different zones. Noise level measurements have been made at 8 locations

within the study area using Sound Level Meter. Based on theGazettes

Notification (S.O. 123(E)) of MoEF dated February 14, 2000 on ambient

air quality standards, 8 monitoring locations were selected; 7 in the

residential area & one at project site.The noise monitoring locations & its

results are given in Figure-3.10& Table 3.26 respectively.

3.11.3 Ambient Noise Standards

Ministry of Environment & Forests (MoEF) has notified the noise

standards vide Gazette Notification dated February 14, 2000 for different

zones viz. industrial, commercial, residentialand silence zones under the

Environment Protection Act (1986). These standards are given in Table-

3.27.

3.11.4 Results

The noise levels of various locations are given in Table 3.26. The

monitored noise level in the day time Leq (Ld) varies from 51.7 to

61.2dB(A) and the night time Leq (Ln) varies from 42.5 to 54.5 dB(A)

within the study area. Higher noise value of 61.2dB(A) was recorded

during day time at project site & lower noise value of 42.5 dB(A) was

recorded during night time in village Khanpur.



3.11.5 Conclusion

Based on the observations made during the studies, it is concluded that;

the noise levels recorded at various locations in the study area show

considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic movement,

commercial and other domestic activities in the study area.Overall the

ambient noise level in the monitored locations was found to be within the

permissible limits stipulated for residential and industrial areas.

3.12 SOIL ENVIRONMENT

Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust that serves as a

natural medium for the growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated mineral

matter that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic and

environmental factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients for plants

and crops and also provide mechanical anchorage and favorable tilth.

The objective of the soil sampling is:

• To determine the baseline soil characteristics;

• To monitor the impact on soil (pollutant deposition/other) in long

run.

3.12.1 Soil sampling locations

Soil quality of the study area is one of the important components for

environment impact assessment. The composite soil samples were

collected from the study area from six locations (Project site, village

Khanpur, village Mujpur, village Rampur, village Paldi, village Sathal) and

were analyzed for different parameters. The locations of the monitoring &

results are given in Table 3.28 and depictedin Figure 3.11.

agriculture crops.

3.13 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

An ecological study of the ecosystem is essential to understand the

impact of industrialization and urbanization on existing flora and fauna of



the study area.The biological study was undertaken as a part of the EIA

study report to:

• Understand the present status of ecosystem prevailing in the study

area.

• Compare it with past condition with the help of available data.

• Predict changes in the biological environment as a result of present

activities and to suggest measures for maintaining its health.

The survey was conducted to study the flora & fauna in 10 km radius.

Some of the information was gathered from the local habitants. All the

collected data were classified to interpret the impact of pollution on the

flora and fauna of the region.

3.13.1 Period of the study

The baseline study, for the assessment of the floral and faunal

biodiversity of the terrestrial environment, within 10 km radius from the

site was conducted during Mar, 2016 to May, 2016.

3.13.2 Study methodology

Survey methodology was based on the flora and fauna species

identification in personal and recently recorded and found in the region by

the localities. Sampling of grass species was carried out by quadrat

sampling method to examine the species distribution and its frequency in

the region.

Table 3.14 Methods used for sampling of flora and fauna

Taxa Sampling Methods Plants Quadrate sampling and enumeration

Amphibians Visual encounter survey

Reptiles Visual encounter survey

Birds Point count, opportunistic observation

Mammals Tracks and signs and visual encounter survey

• Quadrat Sampling Method:

A quadrat (or plot-based) survey is a quantitative examination of species

distribution & abundance. Quadrats are more likely to detect

inconspicuous species because a smaller area is sampled in a

concentrated search. The survey was carried out for the vegetation

ground cover found in the road edges by 1 m2 quadrat and study on the

edge effect due to rapid industrialization and urbanization.



3.13.3 Floral species in the study area

Flora is basically the plant life that is present in a particular region or

habitat at a particular time. List of flora found in the study area is

tabulated in Table 3.29.

3.13.4 Fauna in the study area

Fauna is the animal life that is present in a particular region or habitat at

a particular time. Irrespective of its unfriendly terrain, Gujarat gives

shelter to a variety of animals and birds. They live in smaller herds and

thrive mainly on wild grasses and various types of shrubs.

Faunal biodiversity with their scientific names and common names is

presented in Table 3.30.

3.14 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

An essential part of environmental study is socio-economic environment

incorporating various facts related to socio-economic conditions in the

area, which deals with the total environment. Socio economic study

includes demographic structure of the area, provision of basic amenities

viz., housing, education, health and medical services, occupation, water

supply, sanitation, communication, transportation as well as feature of

aesthetic significance such as temples, historical monuments etc. at the

baseline level. This would help in visualizing and predicting the possible

impact depending upon the nature and magnitude of the project.Socio-

economic study of an area provides a good opportunity to assess the

socioeconomic conditions of an area. This study will possibly make a

change in living and social standards of the particular area benefitted due

to the project. The gross economic production of the area will be

increased substantially due to the existence of this project. It can

undoubtedly be said that this plant will provide direct and indirect

employment and improve the infrastructural facilities and standards of

living of the area.

3.14.1 Objective of the study

The objectives of this socio-economic report consist of:

• To conduct socio-economic assessment study in lease Area

• To help in providing better living standards.



• To know the current socio-economic situation in the region to cover

the sub sectors of education, health, sanitation, water and food

security.

• To provide employment opportunities.

3.14.2 Land use pattern and infrastructure

The land use pattern indicates the manner in which different parts of land

in an area is being utilized or non-utilized. It is an important indicator of

environmental health; human activity and a degree of inter play between

these two. Even though the soil quality, water availability and climate

have strong influence on agriculture and vegetation, the human activity

may alter the natural environment to a large extent to suit human needs.

Unnatural land use often triggers rapid environmental deterioration and

disturbs ecological balance. In census records, major land use

classifications are; Forests, Cultivable land, Cultivable wasteland and area

not available for cultivation. Cultivable land is further classified as:

irrigated and un-irrigated. Area not available for cultivation includes lands

put to non-agriculture uses as well as barren and uncultivable lands.

The main land use in area is for dwellings, infrastructure and related

activities. However, the land use pattern for rural areas is discussed

below. The information is preliminary based on 2011 Census as depicting

in Table 3.32.Total land area is 37024 ha, out of that Irrigated area is

11225.4 ha. It constitutes 30.31% of the total land area. Land has got

irrigation facilities from tube well with electricity. 14146.1 ha are un-

irrigated by source and it constitutes 38.20% of total land area. The

study area consist of Cultivable wasteland is 2057.2 ha (5.55%). Area not

available for cultivation is 9595.3 ha & it constitute 25.91%.

3.14.3 Demographic and Socio-Economic Environment

The demographic and Socio-economic details of the study area are

discussed below. These are primarily based on census data of 2011. Data

on number of households, population as well as literacy and employment

pattern in the study area have been presented in Table3.33. The

employment pattern in the area is indicator of number of persons

employed in various sectors. It also indicates the various categories of



employment flourishing in the area. The study area in 10 km radius has

33 villages including project site.

The total no. of household in the villages are 14126 and the total

population is 69186 (52.14% men & 47.86% women). 66.31% of are

literate while literacy rate among women & men is 27.16% & 39.15%

respectively. 27.86% of male population is part of main worker, while

only 5.29% of female population is a part of main workers. 3.16% of

male workers are marginal workers, while 9.76% of female workers are

engaged in such type of activities. 21.11% of male population and

32.81% of female population are non-workers.

3.14.4 Living Standard and Infrastructure

In India it is not possible to setup a primary standard of living because of

wide variations in terms of income, economic conditions, social custom,

employment opportunity, pattern of spending, etc. However, availability

of amenities like education, medical, water supply, communication, road

network, electricity, etc. significantly reflects the level of development of

the area. Information on available amenities in the study area has been

extracted from census record of 2011. Total numbers of village in study

area are 33. On the basis of data presented in the Table 3.34, the status

of available amenities is discussed in following sub-sections:

Educational Facilities: As per 2011 census, there are Primary schools,

Chapter-4 Anticipated Environmental Impacts&

Mitigation Measures

4.1 GENERAL

Environmental Impact can be defined as any change in environmental

conditions which may be adverse or beneficial; occurred due to action or

set of actions under consideration.

It can be assessed by identifying the sources of the impact and predicting

the same. The identification of environmental impacts has been made by

co-relating the relationship between project activity and environmental

parameters. As a part of present EIA study, anticipated environmental

impacts associated with the project activity of the unit have been

identified. The project activities are usually divided into two phases:

Construction Phase and Operation Phase. For evaluation of impacts due

to proposed activities, baseline data has been utilized. Changes in the

environmental parameters & their impact in terms of short term or long

term, positive or negative, reversible & irreversible are identified &

predicted.

The next step is prediction of impacts, which is an important component

in environmental impact assessment process. Several techniques and

methodologies are in vogue for predicting the impacts due to proposed

industrial development on physical, chemical, biological and socio-

economic components of environment. Such predictions delineate

contribution in existing baseline condition for the proposed project. The

additional impacts due to proposed activities are analyzed by keeping in

mind the baseline status. This helps to assess the assimilative capacity of

the environment and in turn the gravity of the impacts. Based on the

identification & prediction of the nature of impact, it can be evaluated

qualitatively and quantitatively.

In this chapter, the effect due to construction & operational activity of the

proposed expansion project is explained.



4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACT

This chapter deals with the assessment of project impacts on

environment. Mitigation measures are suggested to minimize the likely

negative impacts. The network method (Cause - effect) was adopted to

identify potential impact of the proposed expansion activity. It includes

stepwise study of relationship between an activity and its environmental

parameters. This method involves in the “Road Map” type of approach to

the identification of second&third order effect. The basic idea is to

account for the project activity & identify the type of impact that could

initially occur followed by the identification of secondary and tertiary

impact.

The project will have impacts of varying magnitude on different

environmental components. These impacts could be categorized as -

• Primary impacts, i.e. impacts which occur as a direct result of the

project activities.

• Secondary and tertiary impacts, i.e. impacts that occur as a result

of primary impacts.

4.2.1 Identification of Impacting Activities

Various activities involved in the project are divided viz.:

A. Construction phase activities: impacts are immediate, in the vicinity

and sporadic

B. Operation phase activities: impacts are long term, in wide area and

continuous

The activities identified for the project under each phase are:

Construction phase

• Excavation

• Foundation & Civil work

• Transportation of construction materials, equipments & machineries

• Installation of equipments & machineries

Operation phase

• Plant operation

• Material storage & handling

• Utilities and services

• Green belt development



4.2.2 Identification of Environment Attributes

There are various types of impacts arise due to the proposed expansion

activities which will be evaluated considering the following environment

parameters in construction and operational phase,

• Impact on Topography

• Impact on Air Environment

• Impact on Water Environment

• Impact on Noise Environment

• Impact on Land Environment (Hazardous/solid waste generation)

• Impact on Biological Environment

• Impact on Socio-Economic Environment

• Impact on Occupational Health & Safety

4.3 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY

Proposed expansion will be carried out in the existing premises. During

the construction, excavated soil will be restored to its original shape.

Thus, the impact during the construction is reversible, for short terms

and insignificant. Construction of plant & building will be carried out for

proposed expansion. During the operational phase of the project being an

existing unit, no major impact is envisaged on the topography.

4.4 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction Phase impact & mitigation measures

Proposed expansion will be done in the existing premises wherein the

construction activities will be carried out as per the plant design. So,

there will be chances of dust generation. It will be limited up to working

area only and not likely to spread in wider area. To mitigate the impact,

regular sprinkling of the water will be done.Vehicular traffic lead to

increased concentration pollutants through exhaust gases, affecting the

ambient air quality of surrounding areas. Vehicles only with PUC

certificates will be allowed. However, this effect remains localized near to

the plant site during the time of vehicular movement only. So this impact

is envisaged as short term negative &reversible in nature. Hence, looking

to the overall facts described above, it can be concluded that, the impacts

on air due to the construction & erection activities will be minimum or

negligible.



b. Operational phase impact & mitigation measures

Long term impacts on the air quality are anticipated due to operational

activities. It depends on various factors like process technology,

operation&maintenance, raw material, fuel, air pollution control

measures. For the study of impact assessment for air environment, all

probable emissions are studied including fugitive emission. The sources

and expected emission level are described in below section.

Emission from the project

Main source of air emission will be point source & fugitive emission. There

will be no process gas emission. At present, flue gas emission is from one

common stack of 2 nos. of steam Boilers. FO is used as fuel. After

expansion, one boiler will be modified/replace in terms of capacity from 3

TPH to 8 TPH. Therefore, consumption of FO will be increased.Emitted

pollutants will be SPM, SO2 and NOx.Unit has installed D.G. Sets with

capacity of 1000 kVA & 680 kVA. After expansion, D. G. set of 680 kVA

will be dismantled and 3 new stand-by D. G. Sets with capacity of 1000

kVA each will be installed to fulfill power requirement in case of non-

availability of power/emergency. HSD will be used as a fuel.

Mitigation measures

Due to use of liquid fuel i.e. FO, no need of APCM. Adequate stack height

and facility for sampling such as ladder &sampling point is provided as

per the SPCB guidelines for proper dispersion of pollutants.

4.4.1 Air Pollution Dispersion Modeling of stack

Following sub-section give air dispersion modeling details for prediction of

changes in GLC of pollutants emitted from the above stacks.

Objective: The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground

level concentration during the operation of the project and its impact on

ambient air quality of the area concentrations and compare with

applicable NAAQS.

Model used: The impact on air quality due to emissions from single

source or group of sources is evaluated by use of mathematical models.

The impacts of air pollutants were predicted usingGaussian air dispersion

model, which is selected on the basis of existence of multiple point

sources within the industrial complex and the plain terrain at the project



site. In order to predict the impact of air pollutants on ambient air

quality, ISCST3 model (Industrial Source Complex – Short Term

(ISCST3) dispersion model) of United State Environmental Protection

Agency (USEPA) was used by considering guidelines stipulated by CPCB

for air pollution dispersion modeling. The Gaussian model provides

estimates of pollutant concentrations at various receptor locations.

It is an hour-by-hour steady state Gaussian model which takes into

account the following:

• Terrain adjustments

• Stack-tip downwash

• Gradual plume rise

• Buoyancy-induced dispersion, and

• Complex terrain treatment and consideration of partial reflection

• Plume reflection off elevated terrain

• Building down wash

• Partial penetration of elevated inversions is accounted for Hourly

source emission rates, exit velocity and stack gas temperature

Only two stability conditions based on the meteorology aspects were used

to calculate the theoretical maximum ground level concentration is

comparing the actual data and data generated from mathematical

modeling, it highlights that the stability condition E & A-Bwere

predominant in the region.

Following are the assumptions made while using the model:

- No dry and wet depletion of pollutants

- Receptors are on flat terrain

The key emitted pollutants will be SPM, SO2 and NOx.

4.4.2 Micrometeorology

Hourly micrometeorological data collected during the study period

(March, 2016 to May, 2016) have been used for modeling. The hourly

wind speed, solar insolation & total cloudiness during day time and wind

speed & total cloudiness during night time were used to determine the

hourly atmospheric stability classes (defined by Pasquill and Gifford as A

to F, A being most unstable and F being most stable). The hourly stability

classes were determined based on the technique suggested by Turner.



Turner’s system used for determining the stability classes is as follows:

- For day or night: If total cloud cover (TC) = 10/10 and ceiling

<7000 ft (2134 m), NR=0

- For night-time (defined as period from one hour before sunset to

one hour after sunrise):

a) If TC<4/10, use NR = -2

b) If TC>4/10, use NR = -1

- For daytime: determine isolation class number (IN)

a) If TC<5/10, use NR=IN

b) If TC>5/10, modify IN by the sum of the following applicable

criteria

If ceiling<7000 ft (2134 m), modification = -2

If ceiling>7000 ft but <16000 ft (4877 m), modification = -1

- If TC=10/10 and ceiling>7000 ft, modification = -1 and let modified

value of IN=NR, except for day-time NR cannot be <+1.

During the study period, stability calculated based on above-mentioned

Turner method gives average stability as A-B class during Day time and E

class during Night time.

4.4.3 Input data

Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of incremental GLC

values of PM, SO2, NOx using one season meteorological data during

March, 2016 to May, 2016. Input data includesquantitative expected

emission levels, temperature, mixing height from the stack. Input data is

given in Table 4.1.

4.4.4 Receptor Network

Uniform polar grid and ambient air monitoring locations are considered as

discrete Cartesian receptor network for entire study area of 10 km radius.

4.4.5 Output of model (24-hourly GLCs)

The 24-hourly average Ground Level Concentration (GLC) values from

proposed project have been computed for PM, SO2, NOx considering

topographical features around the plant & applicable stability classes. The

maximum 50 (24-hr) average concentration values for PM, SO2, NOx are

given in Table 4.3 to 4.5. Corresponding Isopleths for 24-hourly

predicted value is generated which is shown in Figure 4.1 to 4.3.



It may be noted from the computed result for the proposed scenario that,

the highest 24-hourly average GLCs value of PM, SO2, NOx from the

proposed expansion activity are 0.434 μg/m3, 0.173 μg/m3, 0.182μg/m3,

respectively. These GLCs are expected to occur at a distance of 1.0 km

from the source in E direction for PM, SO2& NOx. With this marginal

contribution due to the proposal of the project, the levels of PM10, SO2&

NOx will remain well below the 24-hourly ambient air quality standards

for SO2& NOx (80 μg/m3), PM10 (100 μg/m3), PM2.5 (60 μg/m3) prescribed

by CPCB.

4.4.6 Incremental & cumulative concentration of pollutants

The maximum incremental GLCs due to project for SPM, SO2, NOx is

superimposed on the baseline concentrations recorded during the study

period to arrive at the likely resultant concentrations after

implementation of the proposed plant. The cumulative concentrations

(baseline + incremental) of the project is tabulated below at Table 4.2.

4.4.7 Conclusion

The modeling study proved that, the air emissions from the proposed

expansion activities would not likely to cause any significant impact on

the ambient air quality of the study area. The ambient air quality around

project site will remain within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards

(NAAQS) prescribed for residential area.

4.5 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT

The main sources of impact on water environment will be due to

withdrawal of fresh water from the ground during construction and

operation phase. These are discussed below.

a. Construction Phase impacts & mitigation measures

The water requirement for various purposes will be met from own bore

well. During construction work, water requirement is estimated to be

about 15-20 KLD depending upon nature of construction work. In addition

to this, about 2-3 KLD fresh water will be required for domestic activities

of the construction staff which will also be met through the same

source.There will be no wastewater generation from the construction

work. Hence, it can be concluded that there will be no adverse impact

during construction phase.



b. Operational Phase impacts & mitigation measures

Raw water requirement for the project will be met from own bore well.

After expansion, total fresh water requirement will be increased up to 556

KLD, which will have impact on ground water.

c. Impact Assessment

As fresh water will be extracted from ground, there will be some impact

on the ground water table. However, it will be balanced by recharging

ground water during the monsoon season. For that, industry has

developed rain water harvesting structure. Thus, by recharging the

ground water during the rain, unit will contribute to balance groundwater.

So, there will not be any major impact on the water environment due to

proposed expansion activities.

Additionally, generated w/w will be treated in in-house ETP. Reject from

first stage RO will be sent to second stage RO. Reject from second stage

RO will be sent to MVR/MEE. Condensate of MVR/MEE & permeate of

second stage RO will be used in Cooling. Entire quantity of treated water

from ETP is utilized for greenbelt development. Domestic w/w is also

treated in ETP along with industrial effluent. Proper, effective planning

will be implemented to minimize the temporary effect on water resources.

Mitigation Measures:

• Minimum use of water will be done for construction phase.

• Regular maintenance of rain water harvesting structures shall be

undertaken to have effective recharge.

• Condensate of MVR/MEE & permeate of second stage RO will be used

in coolingto reduce burden on fresh water resources.

4.6 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Any unwanted sound that creates disturbance in hearing is termed as

Noise. Hence, it is important to assess the present noise quality of the

area in order to predict the potential impact of future noise levels due to

the project.

a. Construction Phase Impact & mitigation measures

During the construction phase, impacts on noise level will occur due to

the noise generation from new equipments/machineries as well as some

impact due to transportation. Mainly the impacts of increased noise levels



during construction are likely to occur due to increase movement of

trucks &other diesel powered material handling equipment. The impacts

of noise during the construction would be restricted to the site only and

will be temporary. PPEs like ear muff/ear plug will be provided to the

workers. Regular maintenance & lubrication of construction equipment &

machineries will be undertaken to reduce the noise generation. Thus, it is

envisaged that the impacts on noise during the construction phase would

be insignificant after mitigation measure.

b. Operational Phase Impact & mitigation measures

During operation of the project, noise levels will increase considerably

due to operation of boiler, generators, reactors etc. The noise anticipated

from the project will be confined only within plant boundary. Adequate

greenbelt is developed for prevention of noise propagation outside plant

premises.Oiling/lubrication & preventive maintenance will be done to

reduce noise generation at source to the permissible limit. However, at

places where noise levels may exceed the limit, PPEs will be provided to

workers. Adequate noise control measures such as silencers, anti-

vibration pad etc. will be provided. All the equipment will be

designed/operated in such a way that the noise level in work place shall

not exceed 85 dB(A) as per the OSHA Standard. During operation, the

protective measures like PPEs (ear muff, ear plug) will be provided & the

exposure duration of workers/other personnel to noise will be managed

as per OSHA standard.The results of baseline monitoring carried out in

the region are presented in Chapter-3. The results are below the

standards prescribed for Industrial environment. It can be concluded

that, the impact on noise environment will be long term but insignificant.

4.7 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT

The main source of impact on land and soil environment will be due to

construction activities and hazardous waste disposal.

a. Construction Phase Impact & mitigation measures

Since the proposed expansion activities will be carried out in the existing

premises leveling would not be required. There will be no change in land

use as the land is already been converted for use of industrial

purpose.The construction activities like excavation, clearing, leveling &



vehicular movements will entail change in the landscape, which are

expected to be of short duration and insignificant. Unit will provide

sanitation facilities for the staff engaged in construction work which will

prevent the impacts on land. Thus, there will not be any issue of impacts

on land during the construction phase.

b. Operational Phase impact (Solid/Hazardous Waste)

During the operation phase, it is identified that the impacts on land would

occur due to the contamination by Solid/Hazardous wastes. The

hazardous wastes are the major source of impacts on land. Hazardous

waste generation from project must be considered to identify the

potential impacts. There will be increase in the quantity of generation of

hazardous waste. Total qty. after proposed expansion is given below.

Details of Hazardous Wastes

a) ETP Sludge + MEE salt – 137.0MT/month

b) Distillation Residue – 20.0 MT/month

c) Spent Carbon – 12.0 MT/month

d) Discarded containers/ liners – 5000 nos./month

e) Used Oil – 3.0 kl/yr.

f) Off specific products/date expire product – whatever generated

Entire quantity of the hazardous waste will be stored in the isolated

hazardous waste storage area within premises having impervious

platform having RCC floor, leachate collection system & roof cover and

disposed as per the scientific method. No adverse impact on the land

environment is likely to occur. Hence, no significant negative impact is

envisaged on the surrounding soil quality.

4.8 IMPACT ON BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction phase impact & mitigation measures

Unit is already in existence, so there will not be any cutting of natural

vegetation. Thus, it is envisaged that there will not be any adverse

impacts on the ecology/biological environment in construction phase.

b. Operational phase impact & mitigation measures

There are no protected areas like national park/wildlife sanctuary within

the 10 km radial of the project site so there will not be any significant

impact on ecology. No endangered floral or faunal species has been



recorded within the study area. Further, unit already has developed

greenbelt&proposed to make it denser to enhance the biological feature

of the site. Also, the trees are identified for their sensitivity & pollution

tolerance capacity.Following is the list of trees which are helpful as

pollution absorber and at the same time pollution sensitive.

Family Name Botanical Name Common Name

Sensitive Tolerant

Anacardiaceae Mangiferaindica Mango Cement dust, Coal dust, SO2

Dust collector

Anonaceae Polyalthialongifolia Asopalav SO2 Dust collector

Caesalpini-aceae

Cassia fistula Garmalo Cement dust, Poor Dust collector, SO2

N.A

Delonixregia Gulmohar SO2, Fly ash, Cement dust

N.A

Meliaceae Azadirachtaindica Neem Cement dust SO2

Mimosaceae Pithecellobiumdulce Gorasamli N.A Better Dust collector, SO2

There will not be any discharge of effluent from the plant into any water

body; hence there will not be any impact on aquatic ecology of the

surrounding area. GLCs of air pollutants will remain low and hence no

significant impact on terrestrial ecology is expected. Thus, there will not

be any significant impact on ecological environment due to proposed

expansion activities.

4.9 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction Phase Impacts & mitigation measures

During the peak construction phase, construction manpower including

construction workers will be employed.However, to the maximum extent

possible, construction workers will be employed from within the study

area. Since the construction phase of this project will be for short time

period, the socio-economic impact due to construction of this project is

going to be temporary.Around 25-30 workers will be employed in the

construction work. This will increase construction employment in the

study area. As the construction phase for the proposed project will be few

months, the impact would be temporary.



b. Operation Phase Impacts & mitigation measures

The proposed expansion activities will be carried out in the existing plant

premises. Therefore, no displacement of person is envisaged. Unit will

provide employment opportunity to locally available skilled and un-skilled

labours at different level as per the requirement, which in turn result into

a positive impact on prevailing socio-economic environment. For the

proposed expansion, additional 100 nos. of workers will be employed. In

addition, employment will be generated by the secondary supporting

activities e.g. transportation, communication, daily utility services.

Surrounding area has got good educational facilities and most of

employees will come from the surrounding area. Thus, overall impacts on

socio-economic environment are long term and positive in nature.

4.10 IMPACT ON OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

a. Construction Phase Impacts & mitigation measures

In the Construction phase, some effects on occupational health &safety of

the employees working in the site are envisaged. Major health issues

encountered will be physical hazards & accidental Hazard. All plans and

construction schedule will be followed as per relevant laws approved by

competent authority, so as to minimize the occupational health hazards.

the employees working in the plant are envisaged. Major health and

safety issues encountered will be physical hazards, respiratory hazards,

electrical hazards, noise, fire hazards associated while working within the

plant.

same purpose and need, but which would avoid or minimize negative

impacts and enhance project benefits.

Such projects may result in specific impacts which can be avoided or

mitigated by adherence to certain predetermined performance standards,

guidelines or design criteria. Alternative approaches may therefore be

more effective in integrating environmental and social concerns into the

project planning process.

5.2 SITE ALTERNATIVE

Concord Biotech Ltd. is an existing unit and proposed expansion will be

carried out in existing premises. The existing open area of the plot is

sufficient for further expansion activities. Therefore, no other site or area

was considered for expansion activities.

5.3 PROCESS ALTERNATIVE

The unit is manufacturing Pharmaceutical Bulk Drugs andit involves

fermentation process and physical operations like filtration, separation,

extraction,pulverization, sieving and drying. The unit has adopted latest

and best technologyavailable so far in the market for the manufacturing

of such products. The unit intendsto do expansion with the same category

of products and hence technology finalized forthe proposed expansion

project is similar kind that of existing one.

Moreover, the unit is very concerns and conscious about the product

quality andequally about the environmental protection and resource

conservation; and hence theyput their efforts for upgrading their existing

process time totime with the best available technology for the

biotechnology based pharmaceutical industry.Unit has own R&D



centrewhich work on process modification to achieve best technology for

respective products.

The existing technology used by Concord Biotech Ltd. for manufacturing

of Bulk Drugs is one of the best and proven technologies available in the

market; hence no alternative process technology has been analysed.



Chapter-6 Environmental Monitoring Programme

6.1 PRELUDE

Environment monitoring is the sampling and analysis tool to know the

environment conditions at particular time. The record of environmental

monitoring is most important as the environmental changes are slow in

nature and impact appears after many years. Environmental Monitoring is

the technical heart of assessment of environmental and social impacts

arising due to implementation of the proposed project. An equally

essential element of this process is to develop measures to eliminate,

offset or reduce impacts to acceptable levels during implementation and

operation of projects. The integration of such measures into project

implementation and operation is supported by clearly defining the

environmental requirements within an Environmental Management Plan.

Concord Biotech Ltd. proposed to expand capacity of bulk drugs

manufacturing in the same plant premises. It has adequate

environmental monitoring programme.

6.2 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM

The continuous monitoring of Environmental parameters like air, water,

noise, soil and performance of pollution control facilities and safety

measures in the plant are vital for proper Environmental management of

any industrial project. Therefore, the company shall create environmental

monitoring facilities by the environmental and safety department to

monitor air and water pollutants as per the guideline of GPCB & CPCB.

Moreover, air and water shall be monitored by outside agencies

authorized by GPCB at regular frequencies. This department shall also

carry out periodical checkup of fire and safety equipments.

6.3 OBJECTIVE OF MONITORING PLAN

The basic objective of implementing a monitoring plan on a regular basis

is as follows:

To know the pollution status within the plant and its vicinity.

Generate data for corrective action in respect of pollution.



Correlate the production operations with emission & control

mechanism.

Examine the performance of pollution control system.

Assess the Environmental impacts.

Remedial measures and environment management plant to reverse

the impacts.

6.4 SCHEDULE FOR ENVIRONMENT MONITORING

The environmental monitoring will be scheduled on regular interval to

assess the conditions. The record of these monitoring will be compared

with the baseline study to know the changes in environmental conditions.

The post-project environmental monitoring suggested herewith should be

as per the following guideline.

The highlights of the integrated environmental monitoring plan are:

• The stack monitoring facilities like ladder, platform and porthole at

all the stacks will be maintained in good condition.

• Regular monitoring of all gaseous emissions from stacks/vents.

• The performance of air pollution control equipment evaluated based

on these monitoring results.

• Water consumption will be recorded daily.

• As far as possible, noise curbed at its source, with the help of

acoustic hoods and other such noise reducing equipment. Regular

noise level monitoring will be carried out.

• Greenbelt will be properly maintained and new plantation

programmes will be undertaken frequently.

• Continuous environmental awareness programmes will be carried

out for the employees and also in the surrounding villages.

6.5 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING

Scheme for monitoring ambient air quality, stack emissions and fugitive

emissions are proposed. The ambient air quality monitoring systems are

recommended for monitoring the ground level concentrations and fugitive

emissions around the plant. Unit should install three monitoring stations

around its battery limit (at 1200 as per guideline) for monitoring PM, SO2

and NOx. The combined data will provide overall characteristic and

emission from the industry. For this, the following equipment is



recommended to be procured or can higher the services from

Environmental consultant by the project proponent for implementing the

above mentioned monitoring schemes:

Respirable Dust Sampler

Blower - 1.0-1.5 m3/min capacity with adapter for uniform suction

through filter and a properly calibrated manometer assembly for the

determination of flow rate through filter paper.

Rota meter - For gaseous sampling, calibrated Rota meter (0-5 LPM) for

maintaining flow rate should be provided.

Main housing - The main housing should be rectangular with a stand of

about 1.25 m height.

Besides this, stack emissions monitoring as per SPCB guidelines shall be

carried out.

Water Environment:

Entire quantity of wastewater will be sent to ETP. Domestic effluent is

also sent to ETP along with industrial wastewater. Reject from first stage

RO will be sent to second stage RO. Reject from second stage RO will be

sent to MVR/MEE. Condensate of MVR/MEE & permeate of second stage

RO will be used in Cooling. Treated water from ETP is utilized for

greenbelt development.

Noise Environment:

Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of

maintenance schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise

protection measures. A good quality digital sound pressure level meter is

essential for this purpose.

Chapter-7 Additional Studies

(A) Hazards Analysis & Risk Assessment

7.1 INTRODUCTION

Industrial plants deal with materials, which are generally hazardous in

nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their operating

temperatures or pressures or a combination of these. Fire, explosion,

toxic release or combinations of these are the hazards associated with

industrial plants using hazardous chemicals. More comprehensive,

systematic and sophisticated methods of Safety Engineering, such as,

Hazard Analysis and Quantitative Risk Assessment have now been

developed to improve upon the integrity, reliability and safety of

industrial plants. The primary emphasis in safety engineering is to reduce

risk to human life, property and environment. Some of the more

important methods used to achieve this are:

Quantitative Risk Analysis: Provides a relative measure of the

likelihood and severity of various possible hazardous events by

critically examining the plant process and design.

Work Safety Analysis: The technique discerns whether the plant

layout and operating procedures in practice have any inherent

infirmities.

Safety Audit: Takes a careful look at plant operating conditions, work

practices and work environments to detect unsafe conditions.

Together, these three broad tools attempt to minimize the chances of

accidents occurring. Yet, there always exists, no matter how remote,

probability of occurrence of a major accident. If the accident involves

highly hazardous chemicals in sufficiently large quantities, the

consequences may be serious to the plant, to surrounding areas and the

populations residing therein.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT-Identification of Hazard

A three ‘levels’ risk assessment approach has been adopted for the M/s.

Concord Biotech Ltd. (Henceforth Concord) for its expansion project



located at Plot No. 1482-1486, Trasad Road, Taluka: Dholka, Dist.

Ahmedabad, Gujarat. The risk assessment levels are generally consistent

with the practices encountered through various assignments for medium

and large chemical complexes. The brief outline of the three tier approach

is given below:

Level 1 – Risk Screening

This is top-down review of worst- case potential hazards/risks, aimed

primarily at identifying plant sites or areas within plant, which pose the

highest risk. Various screening factors considered include:

• Inventory of hazardous materials;

• Hazardous Materials properties;

• Storage conditions (e.g. temperature and pressure);

• Location sensitivity (distance to residential areas/populace).

The data/information is obtained from plant. The results provide a

relative indication of the extent of hazards and potential for risk

exposure.

Level 2 – Major Risk Survey (Semi - Quantitative)

The survey approach combines the site inspection with established risk

assessment techniques applied both qualitative as well quantitative

mode. The primary objective is to identify and select major risks at a

specific location in the plant considering possible soft spots/weak links

during operation/maintenance. Aspects covered in the risk usually

include:

• Process Hazards;

• Process Safety Management Systems;

• Fire Protection and Emergency response equipment and programs.

• Security Vulnerability;

• Impact of hazards consequences (equipment damage, business

interruption, injury, fatalities);

• Qualitative risk identification of scenarios involving hazardous

materials;

• Risk reduction measures.



Selection of critical scenarios and their potential of damage provide

means of prioritising mitigative measures and allocate the resources to

the areas with highest risks.

Level 3 – Quantitative Risk Assessment (Deterministic)

This is the stage of assessment of risks associated with all credible

hazards (scenarios) with potential to cause an undesirable outcome such

as human injury, fatality or destruction of property. The four basic

elements include:

• Hazards identification utilizing formal approach (Level 2, HAZOP etc.);

• Frequency Analysis. Based on past safety data (incidents / accidents);

Identifying likely pathway of failures and quantifying the toxic /

inflammable material release;

• Hazards analysis to quantify the consequences of various hazards

scenarios (fire, explosion, BLEVE, toxic vapour release etc.).Establish

minimum value for damage (e.g. IDLH, over pressure, radiation flux)

to assess the impact on environment.

• Risk Quantification: Quantitative techniques are used considering

effect/impact due to weather data, population data, and frequency of

occurrences and likely hood of ignition/toxic release. Data are

analyzed considering likely damage (in terms of injury/fatality,

property damage) each scenarios is likely to cause.

QRA provides a means to determine the relative significance of a number

of undesired events, allowing analyst and the team to focus their risk

reduction efforts where they will be beneficial most.

Concord Biotech Ltd. project is hazardous in nature. The QRA for this

plant is based on Level 1 and Level 2. Table 2.3 in Chapter 2 gives the

list of products (and their monthly production capacity) to be

manufactured in the proposed project. Table below gives the bulk

storages of liquid and gaseous raw materials and their consumption.

7.3 HAZARDOUS MATERIALS STORAGE

The solid materials will be kept in bags or drums and will be stored in

chemicals godowns. The products (liquid or solid) will be packed in drums

and stored in product godowns as per market demand. The bulk storages

of liquid hazardous materials are given in below Table 7.1.



In addition, CONCORD will store fuels mainly FO for boiler (15 KL x 3

tanks) and HSD for D G Set (in drums; during power failure only.)

The solid material powder or granules spillage can results in polluting

small area only. The damage to personnel can be through ingress- dermal

(if individual come in contact), oral (if individual food gets infected

through fugitive dust) or inhalation (fugitive dust). The main route is

fugitive dust which in covered area will move to short distance only. The

risk is through liquid materials which are volatile material. The toxic

vapours due to spillage of such material can travel to some distance (as

they are stored in covered godowns) and cause damage.

7.4 Risk Screening Approach

Proposed Plant: Risk screening of Concord Biotech Ltd. plant was

undertaken through process study and study of data/information

provided by unit. Data of major/bulk storages of raw materials,

intermediates and other chemicals were collected. MSDS of hazardous

chemicals were studied vis a vis their inventories and mode of storage.

Concord plant will be using number of hazardous chemicals and also

producing organic chemicals – hazardous in nature. The chemicals stored



in bulk (liquid or gaseous) and defined under MSHIC Rule will be

considered for detailed analysis:

Bulk Drugs Products: Concord is manufacturer of Active Pharmaceutical

Ingredients through the process of Fermentation, Semi-synthetic and

synthetic processes. The existing production of the unit is 103.83 MTPA,

which will be increased to 189.03 MTPA after expansion of the unit.

Currently, company is manufacturing around 36 nos. of products, which

will get increased to 40 nos. with increase in production capacity of

existing products and addition of 4 new products. Product details with its

capacity are given in Table 2.3. The products are drugs and not

hazardous if used in limited quantity as per medical doctor’s prescription.

Many of the Concord raw materials/chemicals are hazardous in nature.

However, hazards potential (for damage) of chemicals and other

materials to plant personnel, environment and off-site area is different for

different materials. Concord will be using a number of raw materials but

only 14 are stored in bulk and are listed under “List of hazardous and

Toxic Chemicals” category under MSIHC Rules, 1989. The raw materials

coming under hazardous category as specified by MSIHC Rules, 1989

(including subsequent amendments) is given in Table 7.2 below.

7.4.1 Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLS)

• AEGL-3 is "the airborne concentration of a substance above which it is

predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals,

could experience life-threatening adverse health effects or death."



could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse

health effects or an impaired ability to escape."



could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic

no sensory effects.

7.4.2 Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPGs)

The 3 ERPG tiers are defined as follows:

• 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."



without experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health

effects or symptoms which could impair an individual's ability to take

protective action."





without experiencing other than mild transient health effects or

perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odor."

7.4.3 Temporary Emergency Exposure Limits (TEELs)

TEELs are used in similar situations as the 60-minute AEGLs and ERPGs.

However, in situations where the concentration varies over time, the

TEEL developers recommend using a conservative 15-minute time-

weighted average concentration. A chemical may have up to 4 TEEL

values, each of which corresponds to a specific tier of health effects.

The 4 TEEL tiers are defined as follows:

• TEEL-3 is "the maximum concentration in air below which it is believed

nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing or

developing life-threatening health effects."


nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing or

developing irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms that

could impair their abilities to take protective action."


nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing other than

mild transient health effects or perceiving a clearly defined

objectionable odor."

• TEEL-0 is "the threshold concentration below which most people will

experience no appreciable risk of health effects."

• The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH)

defines an immediately dangerous to life or health condition as a

situation "that poses a threat of exposure to airborne contaminants

when that exposure is likely to cause death or immediate or delayed

permanent adverse health effects or prevent escape from such an

environment."

• The IDLH limit represents the concentration of a chemical in the air to

which healthy adult workers could be exposed (if their respirators fail)

without suffering permanent or escape-impairing health effects.



7.5 QRA APPROACH

Identification of hazards and likely scenarios (based on Level-1 and

Level-2 activities) calls for detailed analysis of each scenario for potential

of damage, impact area (may vary with weather conditions/wind

direction) and safety system in place. Subsequently each incident is

classified according to relative risk classifications provided in Table 7.4.

Table 7.4: Risk Classification

Stage Description

High (> 10-2/yr.)

A failure which could reasonably be expected to occur within the expected life time of the plant. Examples of high failure likelihood are process leaks or single instrument or valve failures or a human error which could result in releases of hazardous materials.

Moderate (10-2 --10-4/yr.)

A failure or sequence of failures which has a low probability of occurrence within the expected lifetime of the plant. Examples of moderate likelihood are dual instrument or valve failures, combination of instrument failures and human errors, or single failures of small process lines or fittings.

Low (<10-4)

A failure or series of failures which have a very low probability of occurrence within the expected lifetime of plant. Examples of ‘low’ likelihood are multiple instruments or valve failures or multiple human errors, or single spontaneous failures of tanks or process vessels.

Minor Incidents Impact limited to the local area of the event with potent for ‘knock – on- events’

Serious Incident One that could cause: Any serious injury or fatality on/off site; Property damage of $ 1 million offsite or $ 5 million

onsite. Extensive Incident

One that is five or more times worse than a serious incident.

Assigning a relative risk to each scenario provides a means of prioritising

associated risk mitigation measures and planned actions.

7.6 THERMAL HAZARDS

In order to understand the damages produced by various scenarios, it is

appropriate to understand the physiological/physical effects of thermal

radiation intensities. The thermal radiation due to tank fire usually results

in burn on the human body. Furthermore, inanimate objects like

equipment, piping, cables, etc. may also be affected and also need to be

evaluated for damages. Table 7.5, Table 7.6 and Table 7.7 (below),

respectively give tolerable intensities of various objects and desirable

escape time for thermal radiation. Thermal hazards could be from fires or



explosion. Fire releases energy slowly while explosion release energy very

rapidly (typically in micro seconds). Explosion is rapid expansion of gases

resulting in rapidly moving shock wave. Explosion can be confined (within

a vessel or building) or unconfined (due to release of flammable gases).

BLEVE (boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion) occurs if a vessel

containing a liquid at a temperature above its atmospheric boiling point

ruptures. The subsequent BLEVE is the explosive vaporization of large

fraction of its vapour contents; possibly followed by combustion or

explosion of the vaporized cloud if it is combustible. Thermal hazards

have been considered for various scenarios including: Fire in inflammable

chemicals storage tanks.

7.7 DAMAGE DUE TO EXPLOSION

The explosion of a dust or gas (either as a deflagration or detonation)

results in a reaction front moving outwards from the ignition source

preceded by a shock wave or pressure front. After the combustible

material is consumed the reaction front terminates but the pressure wave

continues its outward movement. Blast damage is based on the

determination of the peak overpressure resulting from the pressure wave

impacting on the object or structure. Damage estimates based on

overpressure are given in Table 7.8 below:

In Concord case explosion probability is remote.

7.8 TOXIC RELEASE

Hazardous materials handled and stored in bulk in CONCORD complex are

hazardous materials (as detailed in Table 7.1) as defined in MSHIC rules

and indicated in Table 7.2 and Table 7.3. Some of these chemicals are

stored in bulk (in tank farm).

Damage criteria: For toxic release the damage criteria considered is IDLH

concentration (if data are available). In the absence of non-availability of

IDLH, ‘Inhalation Toxicity (IT) data for rats’ are considered. ‘IT’ data are

used for such chemicals for whom IDLH are not available for these

chemicals.



7.8.1 Acid/Alkali Hazards

Various hazards that can occur due to the acid and alkali incidents are -

• Skin irritation and corrosive effects after spillage

• Spill pool evaporation of acid or Caustic lye storage tanks catastrophic

failure are limited only

• Catastrophic failure giving rise to spill pool evaporation dispersion up

to LC50, IDLH and TLV level

The more hazardous scenario likely is if spilled acid comes in contact with

metal and hydrogen is generated resulting in fire/explosion hazards.

Based on the outcome of the risk assessment, following recommendation

has been made to avoid any risk associated with the storage and use of

acids in the plant:

• Double drain valve will be provided to sulphuric acid storage tank.

• Full body protection will be provided to operator.

• Caution note and emergency first aid will be displayed.

• All employees will be trained for use of emergency first aid.

• Safety shower and eye wash will be provided in storage tank area and

plant area.

• Total close process will be adopted for Sulphuric acid handling.

• Dyke wall will be provided to storage tank.

• Tanker unloading procedure will be prepared.

• SOP will be prepared for acid handling.

• Training programme will be conducted for safe handling and

emergency handling of Sulphuric Acid.

• In Storage Tank Area, reaction with water generating fumes should be

displayed and avoided.

• Suitable extinguishing media-Extinguish with dry powder/sand. DO

NOT USE WATER.

7.9 DATA LIMITATIONS

Concord is handling various toxic raw materials. The main use of the

products is for human consumption to kill bacteria’s in the human body

system directly or indirectly. It is also observed that very little data or



information (regarding physical properties required for modeling) is

available about these drugs and modeling cannot be done for these.

7.10 LIKELY FAILURE SCENARIOS

Few likely failure scenarios have been selected after critical appraisal of

raw materials and storage inventories. Failure scenarios selected are as

given in Table 7.9 below:

Table 7.9: Different Failure Scenarios

(B) QUANTITATIVE Risk ASSESSMENT & CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

7.11 PREAMBLE

In the previous chapter, we have carried out the hazards analysis of the

CONCORD proposed expansion project considering various aspects

including bulk storages of hazardous chemicals, plant process system,

plant incidents/ accidents records, critical appraisal and discussion at site

for soft spots in the plant etc. Based on the hazards analysis few critical

scenarios have been selected for QRA and consequence analysis. QRA

quantifies vulnerable zones for a conceived incident with various levels of

severity. Consequence calculations for risk assessment are invariably in

terms of percentage of fatalities but for emergency handling, fatalities are

of no interest saving lives is the main objectives then. The injury criteria

have to be agreed in terms of thermal load or toxic concentration versus

exposure duration in the first instance. In consequence calculation, 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, and other property damage). The

risk assessment modeling can be roughly divided into three groups:



• Determination of source strength parameters;

• Determination of consequential effects;

• Determination of damage or damage distances (with specific severity

rates)

7.11.1 Weather Effect

The effect of ambient conditions on the impact of fire/heat radiation and

GLC of hazardous/toxic material can be beneficial as well as harmful. A

high wind (turbulence) can dilute the toxic material while stable

environment can extend the reach of IDLH or IT (inhalation LC50 rats for

products) concentration to long distance. Any inflammable gas/vapour

release in turbulent weather will soon dilute the hazardous gases below

LEL and thus save the disaster.

7.12 INCIDENTS IMPACTS

The identified failure scenarios (Table 7.9) have been analysed (Using

ALOHA and EFFECT Modules) for the impact zones considering damage

due to thermal and toxic impacts. Similar impacts are considered for

expansion units. Each incident will have Impact on the surrounding

environment which in extreme case may cross plant boundary. The

impact zones for various scenarios are given in Table 7.10.

7.13 CONSEQUENTIAL IMPACTS

The consequential impacts from each incident scenarios can be though

thermal and toxic route. The damage can be on plant personnel (and



neighboring residents in case incident crosses boundary), property and

also loss in production.

7.13.1 Thermal and Explosion Hazards

Incidents involving thermal hazards are mainly due to raw material fire

(in tank farms). The impact (1st degree burn) is limited to 29 m only (i.e.

within plant boundary). However the consequences can go to worse if the

incidents lead to domino effect to other tanks.

7.13.2 Toxic Hazards

Toxic hazards are mainly due to Ammonia tank leakage spillage and other

chemicals leakage and their impact can cross the plant boundary (if not

controlled in time). The impact due to Ammonia (IDLH) tank leakage can

go as far as 1.6 km i.e. crossing the plant boundary.

7.13.3 Other Hazards

The other hazards in the plant include (but not limited to):

• Other toxic hazards due to acids / other toxic spillages (mainly limited

to spillage area only.).

• Mechanical hazards due to machines/equipment.

• Hazards due to individual soft spots like walking casually and noticing

a pit and falling or colliding/stumbling or slipping (not noticing a wet

place etc.).

7.13.4 Other Toxic Hazards

Acid spillage-its impact will be limited to spillage area. The spillage if

comes in contact with metal parts will produce hydrogen which is highly

flammable gas. Any person moving in area and getting splash will get the

injury. In addition the spillage will cause pollution problem. The spillage is

to be collected and neutralized for toxic contents before disposal.

7.14 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH

Concord has a well-equipped first aid post and other HSE infrastructure.

It will also have staff personnel trained in first aid. Injured personnel will

be immediately rushed to hospital after giving first aid. All employees will

have regular medical checkup as per norms. An emergency

vehicle/ambulance will always (round the clock) available for meeting any

eventuality.



7.14.1.1 Treatment of workers affected by accidental spillage of chemicals

There is wide range of chemicals present in the Chemical plants. The safe

cleanup of a chemical spill requires some knowledge of the properties and

hazards posed by the chemical & any added dangers posed by the

location of the spill. Employees must notify their immediate supervisor of

injury by spillage of chemicals or exposure to hazardous materials. All

injuries must be reported. Supervisor is responsible for reporting any

injuries or occupational illnesses to the management.

Following steps will be immediate taken by the Supervisor.

Identify spillage/leakages of hazardous chemicals

Chemical Exposure to Skin:

Immediately flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes. If there are no

visible burns, remove the cloth from burning part of body. Seek medical

attention if exposure/spillages occur major possible problems.

Chemical Exposure to Skin – Serious:

Remove all contaminated clothing. Locate the nearest emergency shower

and soak for at least 15 minutes. Have someone contact the Hospital for

immediate medical attention.

Chemicals in Eyes:

Irrigate eyes for at least 15 minutes with tempered water from

emergency eyewash station. Remove contact lenses if there is. Notify the

management and immediate medical attention.

Acid Fumes:

Anyone overcome by fumes should be removed by fresh air. Never

attempt to enter a location where potentially dangerous fumes might

place you at risk. If someone is down, contact emergency personnel and

let them enter. Self-breathing apparatus is requiring to whom enter in the

acidic fumes area. Seek medical attention for exposure as soon as

possible.

Chemical Spills:

The safe clean-up of an acid spill requires some knowledge of the

properties and hazards posed by the acid and any added dangers posed

by the location of the spill. If you believe a spill is beyond your capacity



to clean up, do not attempt to do so by your own, immediately contact to

nearest fire/emergency station. Spill kits with instructions, absorbents,

neutralizing agents if applicable, protective equipment, and sealable

waste buckets should be present in plant area.

Following Steps to be taken for ensuring health and safety of

workers engaged in handling of Hazardous materials

• Identify chemicals to be used, amounts required, condition followed as

per the MSDS guideline.

• Evaluate the hazards posed by the chemicals and the process

conditions. The evaluation should cover toxic, physical, reactive,

flammable, explosive as well as any other potential hazards posed by

the respective chemicals.

• Select appropriate controls to minimize risk, including use of

engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective

equipment (PPE) to protect workers from hazards. The controls must

ensure that OSHA’s Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).

• Avoid Underestimation of Risk of handling and its reaction.

• Before working with chemicals, know the facility’s policies and

procedures for how to handle an accidental spill or fire. Emergency

telephone numbers should be posted in a prominent area. Know the

location of all safety equipment and the nearest fire alarm and

telephone.

• Provide popper Ventilation in the plant/process area.

• Corrosive chemicals that require vented storage should be stored in

vented cabinets instead of in a chemical hood.

• Local exhaust ventilation devices should be appropriate to the

operations in the plant.

• Chemicals should be separated and stored according to hazard

category and compatibility.

7.15 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

The hazard analysis and risk assessment of few possible selected incident

scenarios indicates that such incidents mostly are not limited to plant

battery limits and have impact on adjoining plants. Only one scenario

(specifically toxic hazards scenario due to Ammonia leakage) is crossing



the CONCORD plant boundaries. The direction of impact will be in down

wind direction (wind direction and speed varies with season). Some of the

recommendations for Tank farm storage system are as given below:

• Provision of flame detectors/ thermal sensors at strategic locations in

the tank farm area.

• Auto water deluge system on each bulk storage tank for inflammable

liquids. The system should automatically start taking signal from flame

detectors or thermal relay.

• Fixed foam system with adequate capacity.

Toxic Hazards are due to methanol and Toluene. Regular ‘Hazard Survey’

ensures the detection of leakage in the plant.

In house ‘capability building’ to attend hazardous scenarios is to be taken

up through mock drills.

• Train staff in attending such scenarios.

Human Factors: CONCORD should have well equipped Toxic and fire

handling system and also safety department – safety practices. Human

factors role in safety cannot be ignored. Odd hours working and over/long

hours work can drain out individual. It shows in lack of efficiency and also

the lack of apt attention the modern chemical complex demand. They are

to be closely looked into and avoided.

Safety’ has unique features:

a. If no accident has happened so far probability of incident/accident

occurring increases.

b. ‘No accident’ / good safety record develops complacency inertia/ over

confidence in the team. This attitude gives rise to gaps/soft spots in

the system giving chances to incidents / accidents.

c. Safety requires novelty. Routine training practices get stale with no

positive results. Look for novel scheme of training/ safety practices to

build up fresh impetus in safety. Involvement of employees with

refreshed outlook for safety is to be achieved.

7.16 ACTION PLAN FOR HANDLING & SAFETY SYSTEM

Flammable chemicals will be stored in open area outside the process

plant with all the safety measures. Hazardous chemicals will be stored

and handle in dispensing room for taking out sample from the container

7.17 ARRANGEMENTS FOR ENSURING HEALTH AND SAFETY OF

WORKERS ENGAGED IN HANDLING OF TOXIC MATERIALS

The significance of Safety & Health in plant has been a vital issue in

achieving productivity and quality standard. Following is an effort for

safety & health of workers working in the plant. Numbers of chemicals

are used in plant have specific health hazards in nature. Following are

basic fundamental principles properly underlie all the workers working in

the plant. Occupational health and safety is about preventing people from

being harmed by work or becoming ill from work by taking adequate

precautions and providing a safe and healthy work environment.

Consideration of each should be encouraged before beginning work as

part of the culture of safety within the plant.

• Plan ahead. Determine the potential hazards associated with

production.



• Minimize exposure to chemicals. Do not allow toxic chemicals to

come in contact with skin. Provide proper ventilation devices to

prevent/minimize airborne.

• Do not underestimate hazards or risks. Assume that any mixture

of chemicals will be more toxic than its most toxic component. Treat

all the chemicals as toxic substances.

• Be prepared for accidents. Before beginning of any batch reaction,

know what specific steps to take which cause to accident if any

hazardous substance release accidently. Proper follow SOP- Standard

Operating procedure to take batch reaction.

Unit will assess is careful examination of what, at work, could cause harm

to workers, accidents and ill health. All risks in the workplace must be

identified and assessed for control measures to be put in place.

Follow the five steps of hazard identification will be taken by unit namely;

• Identify the hazards

• Decide who might be harmed and how

• Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution

• Record your findings and implement them

• Review your assessment and update if necessary

Following Information workers should know regarding hazardous

chemicals

We shall ensure that the employee is adequately trained with regard to:

• The contents of the hazardous chemical substances

• Potential source exposure to chemicals

• Measures taken by the employer to protect employees against any risk

from exposure

• Precautions to be taken by an employee to protect himself against the

health risks associated exposure

• Correct use, maintenance of safety equipment, facilities and

engineering controls

• Importance of good housekeeping at the workplace and personal

hygiene

• Safe working procedures

• Procedures to be followed in the event of spillages or leakages.



7.18 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (DMP)

Disaster/Emergency Management Plan is essential for a chemical plant as

the processes adopted for manufacturing are classified under Factory Act

as Hazardous due to handling and storage of toxic, flammable and

explosive hazardous materials. Over the years, the chemical process

plant has created adequate infrastructure and adopted risk mitigation

measures to tackle any emergency that may arise during the

manufacturing process. The important aspect in emergency planning is to

control an emergency by technical and organizational means, minimize

accidents and consequent losses. Emergency planning also brings to light

deficiencies, such as, lack of resources necessary for effective emergency

response. It also demonstrates the organization's commitment to safety

of employees and physical property as well as increases the awareness

among management and employees. Disaster Management Plan for the

plant is necessarily a combination of various actions which are to be

taken in a very short time but in a pre-set sequence to deal effectively

and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or major accident with an

aim to keep the loss of men, material, plant/machinery etc. to the

minimum. A major emergency in a hazardous chemical plant is one,

which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of life. It may

cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption of both inside

and outside the plant. Sometimes, it would require the assistance of

outside emergency services to handle it effectively. Although the

emergency at the plant may be caused by a number of different factors,

e.g. leakage of toxic and flammable materials from piping/tanks,

total/partial power failure, earthquake or sabotage, it will normally

manifest itself in fire/toxic release.

Primarily, DMP is prepared to furnish details which may require at the

time of the emergency, to delegate responsibility, to estimate the

consequences in advance and to prepare ourselves to control any type of

emergency. The plan explains basic requirements as follows:

• Definition,

• Objectives,

• Organization set up,



• Communication System,

• Action on site,

• Link with Off-site Emergency Plan,

• Training rehearsal and record aspect.

7.18.1 Definitions

Various definitions on different analogy used on On-site & Off-site

Emergency Plan are as follows:

Accident: An accident may be defined as “an undesirable and unplanned

event with or without or major damage consequence of life and /or

property.

Major Accident: It is a sudden, unexpected, unplanned event resulting

from uncontrolled developments during an industrial activity, which

causes or has the potential to cause, death or hospitalization to a number

of people, damage to environment, evacuation of local population or any

combination of above effects.

Emergency: This can be defined as any situation, which presents a

threat to safety of person's or/and property. It may require outside help

also.

Major Emergency: Occurring at a work is one that may affect several

departments within and/or may cause serious injuries, loss of life,

extensive damage to properly or serious disruption outside the works. It

will require the use of outside resources to handle it effectively.

Disaster: Disaster is a sudden calamitous event, bringing great damage,

loss or destruction.

Hazards: Hazard may be defined as “the potential of an accident”.

Hazard exists in man and the system of materials and machines.

Chemical Hazards: It is a hazard due to chemical(s) (including its

storage, process, handling, etc.) and it is realized by fire, explosion,

toxicity, corrosively, radiation, etc.

Risk: Risk may be defined as the combination of consequence and

probability or likelihood of an accident being caused in a given man-

material – machine system.



On-Site Emergency plan: It deals with measures to prevent and control

emergencies within the factory and not affecting outside public or

environment.

Off-Site Emergency plan: It deals with measures to prevent and

control emergencies affecting public and the environment outside the

premises.

7.18.2 Objective of the Disaster Management Plan

The primary purpose of this Disaster Management Plan is to equip the

Plant with required resources and information for prompt implementation

of the set of actions to be undertaken in the event of an accident posing

hazards to the people and community after commissioning of the plant.

The objective of Disaster Management Plan (DMP), for the plant is to be

in a state of perceptual readiness through training, development and

mock drills, to immediately control and arrest any emergency situation so

as to avert a full fledge disaster and the consequence of human and

property damage and in the event of a disaster still occurring, to manage

the same to that the risk of the damage consequences to life and

property are minimized and thereafter, proper rehabilitation, review and

revisions of the DMP to overcome the shortcomings noticed are

undertaken. The DMP document is prepared keeping in view and to

confirm the requirements of the provisions of The Factories Act, 1948

under section 41 B (4), Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment

and Forests, Govt. of India and Manufacture, Import and Storage of

Hazardous Chemicals Rules, 1989 amended in 2000, Schedule 11 under

Environmental Protection Act, 1986.

Following are the main objectives of the plan to:

• Defined and assess emergencies, including hazards and risk

• Control and contain incidents.

• Safeguard employees and people in vicinity.

• Minimize damage to property and/or the environment.

• Minimization of risk and impact of event accident.

• Preparation of action plan to handle disasters and to contain damage.



• Inform employees, the general public and the authority about the

hazards/risk assessed and to provide safeguard, and the role to be

played by them in the event of emergency.

• Be ready for 'mutual aid' if need arises to help neighbouring unit.

• Inform authorities and mutual aid centres to come for help.

• Effect rescue and treatment of casualties.

• Effective rehabilitation of the affected persons and prevention of

damage to the property.

• Identify and list any fatalities.

• Inform and help relatives.

• Secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas and to restore

normalcy.

• Provide authoritative information to the news media.

premises. Project will have requirement of an additional infrastructure

and so direct benefit of infrastructures development is anticipated. The

project proposes to employ local people which will help to increase the

income of local people & improve their standard of living.

The construction and commissioning phase will require a substantial man-

power and resources. The unit has proposed to employ local contractual

services for this. Hence, with the growth in the economic conditions, the

project may lead to growth in the social stature & improvement of the

quality of life in the surrounding area. It will also help in improvement in

local amenities. Thus, the project will have considerable indirect benefits

to the public physical infrastructures.

8.3 IMPROVEMENT IN SOCIAL INFRASTRUCTURE

The company will conduct social welfare activities which include the

funding & contribution for public infrastructure/facilities development,

maintenance & improvement on basis of as & when required.

Due to proposed project activity, social infrastructure will improve by

means of civilization, vocational training and basic amenities.

Civilization: Due to the project, employment and other infrastructural

facilities will boost up income of surrounding people and improve

qualityof life. This will indirectly boost up the civilization of the

surrounding people.



Vocational Training: Moreover, unit will provide vocational training

opportunity to the surrounding people and greed for employment will

motivate the education activities that will lead the change in life style of

the surrounding and affected people hence social infrastructure will be

improved.

Basic Amenities: Better education facilities, proper healthcare, road

infrastructure and drinking water facilities are basic social amenities for

better living standard of any human being which will further increase the

above amenities directly/indirectly either by providing or by improving

the facilities in the area, which will help in uplifting the living standards of

local communities.

8.4 EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL

In the construction phase, direct and indirect manpower will be involved.

Thus temporary and permanent employment will be generated during

construction phase. The proposed manpower requirement during

construction will be 20-25 nos. During the operation phase, additional

100 nos. of skilled and unskilled manpower will be required for proposed

expansion activities. Moreover, unit will provide first priority to local

workers for the employment.

Further, the indirect employment via increased transportation, ancillary

units & local economic activities will also add in the employment potential

of the project. Thus, project will result in considerable benefits in terms of

employment.

8.5 OTHER TANGIBLE BENEFITS

As mentioned above, the project will have many employment & trade

opportunities with the inception of the construction activities. Thus, these

will eventually result in appreciable economic benefits to the local people

& businesses/contractors. Indirectly, the project will help the Government

by paying different taxes from time to time, which is a part of revenue

and thus, will help in developing the area.

The CSR activities planned by the company will be considerably beneficial

to the surrounding area. These all together with the economic benefits of

the proposed project will result in further benefits in terms of the literacy

level, primary and middle level education and on health facilities.

Chapter-10 Environment Management Plan

10.1 INTRODUCTION

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) includes the protection,

mitigation and environmental enhancement measures to be implemented

to nullify the adverse impact on the environment. This plan will also

facilitate monitoring of environmental parameters.

Assessment of environmental and social impacts arising due to

implementation of the project activities is the technical heart of EIA

process. An equally essential element of this process is to develop

measures to eliminate, offset or reduce impacts to acceptable levels

during implementation and operation of projects. The integration of such

measures into project implementation and operation is supported by

clearly defining the environmental requirements within an Environmental

Management Plan (EMP). The EMPhas been formulated considering all

necessary mitigation measures to prevent/minimize/eliminate

environmental impacts as well assignment of implementation stage&

responsibilities. Unit, being anexisting unit has already formed an

Environment Management Cellin order to keep a close watch on the

performance of the pollution control equipment, emissions from the

sources and the quality of surrounding environment in accordance with

the monitoring program. EMP will be modified/upgraded as per

requirement after the proposed expansion.

10.2 OBJECTIVE OF ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The EMP is prepared with the main objective of enlisting all the

requirements to ensure effective mitigation of adverse impacts for all the

components of the proposed project. The objective of the Environmental

Management Plan is summarized hereunder,

To comply with the stipulated enviro-legal requirements & standards.

To limit/reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of adverse

impacts.

To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and

hazardous waste with adoption of adequate and efficient technology.



To create good working conditions.

To reduce any risk hazards and design the disaster management

plan.

Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a

cleaner and better environment.

To make budgetary provision and allocation of funds for environment

management system and for timely revision of budgetary provisions.

To contribute significantly for sustainable development by resource

conservation, waste minimization/recycling/reuse and approaching to

Cleaner Production practices.

10.3 COMPONENTS OF EMP

10.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Construction phase results in temporary environmental pollution except

for the permanent change in local land use pattern &aesthetics in certain

cases. Such pollution is mainly due to site preparation, civil works,

transportation, storage & handling of construction materials, construction

worker’s sanitation etc. These are usually short-term impacts.

During construction work, air pollution is expected in the form of

increased suspended particulate matter concentration. Installation work

will generate noise and dust but it will within working areas. To mitigate

the adverse environment impact due to the construction phase, following

measures will be taken:

• Regular sprinkling of the water will be done along with the

construction activities.

• Regular preventing maintenance of machinery and transportation of

vehicles during construction to reduce noise pollution.

• Provision of silencer, to modulate the noise generated by the machine,

if required.

• Reduce the exposure time of workers to the higher noise level by job

rotation.

• To protect workers working in noisy area, personal protective

equipments like earmuffs/earplugs will be provided.

• Tree plantation will be proposed periphery of plant premises and along

the roads.

Water Environment

During construction phase, provision for infrastructural services including

water supply, sewage and electrification will be made. The construction

site would be provided with suitable toilet facilities for the workers to

allow proper standards of hygiene.

Safety and Health during Construction Phase

Adequate space will be provided for construction of temporary sheds for

construction workers mobilized by the contractors. Unit will also supply

potable water for the construction workers. The safety department will



supervise the safe working of the contractor and their employees. Work

spots will be maintained clean, provided with optimum lighting and

enough ventilation to eliminate dust/fumes.

Socio-economic Environment

Management will give preference to local people through both direct and

indirect employment.

10.7 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING THE OPERATIONAL

PHASE

EMP proposed for implementation is detailed under the following heads:

♦ Air Pollution Control

♦ Wastewater Management

♦ Solid/Hazardous Waste Management

♦ Noise Management

♦ Greenbelt Development

♦ Occupational Safety and Health

10.7.1 Air Pollution Management

10.7.1.1 Source of air pollution and control measures There is no process gas emission from the plant. At present, flue gas

emission is from one common stack of 2 nos. of steam boilers, furnace

Oil (FO) is used as fuel. After expansion, one boiler will be

modified/replace in terms of capacity from 3 TPH to 8 TPH. Therefore, FO

consumption will increase from 820 kg/hr. to 1100 kg/hr. Due to use of

liquid fuel i.e. FO, no need of APCM except appropriate stack height as

per CPCB guideline. Most probable emitted pollutants will be SPM, SO2

and NOx.

Unit has installed D.G. Sets with capacity of 1000 kVA & 680 kVA. After

expansion, D.G. set of 680 kVA will be dismantled and unit will install 3

new stand by D.G. sets with capacity of 1000 kVA each to fulfill power

requirement in case of non-availability of power/emergency. D. G. Set

will not the constant source of emission as it will be used in case of power

failure only so adequate stack height is provided.

In order to minimize the air pollution the unit will develop greenbelt on

and around its premises considering the following guidelines,

i) Green cover should be created at all the available open spaces.



ii) Strict surveillance is made to increase the survival rate of the trees.

iii) Plants with higher height, medium and low height should be planted

to ensure thick belt for attenuation of fugitive emission. This activity

demands expert advice and guidance.

Measures for fugitive emission

Following measures will be adopted to prevent and control fugitive

emissions:

• Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipment will be

done to prevent leakages and thus minimizing the fugitive emissions

of VOCs.

• Entire process is carried out in the closed reactors with proper

maintenance of pressure and temperature.

• The ventilation system provided will reduce the health impact on

employees by way of dilution of work room air and also dispersion of

contaminated air.

• Care will be taken to store construction material properly to prevent

fugitive emissions, if any.

• Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive

emission.

• To eliminate chances of leakages from glands of pumps, mechanical

seal will be provided at all solvent pumps.

• During transfer of material, steps shall be taken to reduce and prevent

splashes and spills. Any liquid or dry material spilled shall be cleaned

as expeditiously as possible.

• Good housekeeping, proper maintenance and continuous observation

will prevent the chances of any fugitive emission from the process

plant.

10.7.1.2 Solvent Management Plan Resource optimization/recycling and reuse is envisaged for the project as

follows:

The raw materials will be stored in closed containers and will be

handled through closedsystem to avoid the handling losses.

The solvent distillation system is designed so as to achieve minimum

95% - 98% recovery of solvent.



Wherever required, the solvents shall be directly pumped into day

tanks from the storage tanks and shall be charged into the reactors

without involving any manual handling.

Total of 40 numbers of API bulk drugs produce by biotechnology root

with maximum capacity of 189.03 MT/year.

All the products shall be recovered from aqueous solution to dissolve

into solvent. Solvents shall be collected & re-processor for distillation

and recovered solvent will be ruse in process.

The Reactors shall be connected to an efficient condenser system with

cooling/chilling water circulation.

Reactor and solvent handling pumps shall have mechanical seals to

prevent leakages. Also provide with breather valve to prevent losses.

Solvent will be taken from storage tank to reactors through closed

pipe line. Storage tank shall be vented through trap receiver &

condenser operated on cooling water.

The condensers shall be provided with sufficient HTA and residence

time so as to any loss of solvent.

All necessary firefighting systems shall be provided with alarm

system.

Flameproof wiring and flame proof electrical accessories shall be

provided to avoid any mishap.

Residue generated from the distillation will be incinerated sent to

common incinerator site.

Solvents shall be stored as per statutory requirement.

Solvents shall be kept at a separate specified area with all the safety

measures.

Multipurpose Distillation System-MS Column

There will be a multipurpose batch distillation system consisting of

distillation column with structured packed column, kettle, distillation

column, water condenser, child condenser and distillate receivers.

Entire systems are in closed loop with vacuum pump and feed &

recovered solvent storage tanks. The system is designed as

multipurpose and can separate most of the known solvent mixtures.



The whole system is designed for vacuum and can handle both

vacuum distillation and atmospheric distillation.

organic in nature and contain significant calorific value are sent for co-

processing. Total solvent balance is given in above table. Schematic

diagram of solvent recovery system is presented in Figure 2.4of chapter-

2.

10.7.1.3 Action plan for odour control Early detection and response is a key consideration in the management of

potential odors. Potential odors are at the wastewater treatment plant and

the surrounding areas. Fermentation process for Biotechnology based

medicine is taking more focus for fermentation hence no chances of odor

nuisance. The API fermentation systems generate carbon dioxide (CO2)

that contains some volatile organic compounds (VOC) which can have a

sweet fermented smell. Non-condensable gases from the facility distillation

system contain some solvent and other VOCs which can have a slightly

astringent alcohol odor.

Second source of odour problems is ETP and sludge handling systems.

During nominal operations, wastewater flows through the basin quickly,

does not become septic, and does not generate odors. Odors could occur

during periods of operational downtime. If wastewater would be allowed to

stagnate in the clarifier for days, septic water and sludge could be fanned,

and, as a result, excessive odors potentially could be generated. To

minimize the generation of odors during periods of operational downtime,



efforts are taken to prevent water from being held in the ETP for extended

periods. Corrective measures could reduce the retention time for primary

treatment and removing the water and solids from the clarifier in due time

cycle.

Other source of odour problems in ETP is biological treatment. in the

Activated Sludge process is to provide which microorganisms can

consume organic materials in wastewater. These microorganisms, called

mixed liquor, are live single-celled organisms typically found in aquatic and

moist environments. Oxygen is added to this basin to support the growth

of these organisms and prevent the basin from becoming septic. Excessive

odors could occur during periods of low dissolved oxygen (DO) values. To

minimize the generation of excessive odors from the ETP, efforts are taken

to manage the causes of the low DO. Maintain the aeration system to

maintain the DO level in effluent. Increase recycles of waste activated

sludge. Remove excess sludge from secondary clarifier. Minimize the

holding of sludge slurry and dewatered in with minimum time to avoid

odour problems.

10.7.2 Water Environment

At present, total water requirement (industrial + domestic+ greenbelt) is

589.5 KLD. Out of which; 349.5 KLD is fresh water requirement and

240.0 KLD is recycle water. After expansion; it will be increased up to

955.0 KLD; out of which 556.0 KLD will be fresh water requirement. Raw

water is satisfied from own bore well.

After proposed expansion, total industrial wastewater generation will be

increased from 210.0 KLD to 399.0 KLD.Domestic effluent is also sent to

ETP along with industrial wastewater. Wastewater generated from

process, washing & utility is directly sent to ETP having primary &

secondary treatment units. Unit has full-fledge Effluent Treatment Plant

with capacity of 400 m3/day. After expansion, unit will treat its effluent in

exiting ETP.

Effluent treatment scheme:

To considering high suspended solids due to microbes (broth) in industrial

effluent, unit has installed decanter as a pre-treatment to remove it

before primary treatment. Effluent from collection tank flows to Oil



&Grease trap. The oil and grease are removed in this unit. The effluent

then flows to the equalization cum neutralization tanks. Adding the

chemicals viz. lime, alum and poly electrolyte depending upon the quality

of incoming effluent, neutralizes the effluent here. For air requirement

diffused aeration system is provided in this unit. The neutralized effluent

is flows to the primary clarifier where quiescent condition is provided for

settlement of settable solids. The sludge settled in the primary clarifier

taken to the sludge drying bed or decanter collection tank while the

supernatant is subjected to the biological treatment.

The supernatant from the clarifier is taken to the aeration tank. Biological

degradation of the organic matter occurs in the aeration tank in presence

of the oxygen. Effluent containing biomass from aeration tank flows to

the secondary Clarifier. Here the settlement of the biomass takes place

under quiescent condition. Settled biomass is either recycled in to the

aeration tank to maintain the MLSS concentration or can be taken in to

the sludge drying bed or decanter collection tank. Biologically treated

effluent will be passed through two stage RO. Reject from first stage RO

will be sent to second stage RO. Reject from second stage RO will be sent

to MVR/MEE. Condensate of MVR/MEE & permeate of second stage RO

will be used in Cooling. Entire quantity of treated water from ETP is

utilized for greenbelt development.The decanter feed pump transfer to

the decanter where the solid and liquid are segregate. The solids are

collected or dried in sludge dryer and then after packedinto the HDPE

bag. The liquid from decanteris transfer to collection tank or equalization

tank. Sludge bags are stored in Hazardous waste storage area.

Water Management

The unit maintains records for the total water consumption at various

sources.

Domestic effluent will be treated in ETP along with other effluent.

Unit is doing rain water harvesting to balance the ground water.

The mitigation measures for minimizing the impacts on water

environment in general includes following:

Minimization of water use

Segregation and collection philosophy for effluent to minimize waste

generation and facilitate treatment as well as recycle.

Treatment philosophy to achieve mandated standards

Reuse/recycle

Some of the measures, which are to be implemented, include:

Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor to reduce the

amount of wastewater generated.

Ensuring proper operation and maintenance schedule for the ETP.



10.7.3 Hazardous/Solid Waste Management

Main source of hazardous waste generation is ETP sludge & MEE salts,

distillation residue, spent carbon, used oil, discarded bags/containers, off

specific products. After expansion, there will be increase in the quantity

of all the existing hazardous waste. Storage & Disposal mode is as per

Hazardous & other Waste (Management & Transboundary Movement)

Rules, 2016.

Storage of Solid/Hazardous Waste:

• Proper Hazardous waste storage area with impervious flooring and

covered shed is provided for storage of solid/hazardous waste.

• Entire quantity of the hazardous waste is stored in the isolated hazardous

waste storage area within premises having leachate collection system and

roof cover. The storage yard shall be properly labeled for identification of

wastes.

• Hazardous waste shall not be stored for a period more than 90 days.

Records of the same shall be maintained and make them available for

inspection.

Transportation of Solid/Hazardous Waste:

• Properly packed & labeled waste shall be transported through dedicated

vehicle with GPS system to authorized TSDF facility.

Disposal of Hazardous Waste:

• Currently unit is disposed its ETP sludge at TSDF site, SEPPL. ETP sludge

generation is mainly from biological treatment and source of effluent is

also from biotechnology process. It has good NPK value and no

hazardousness primarily found in sludge analysis. So unit proposed to use

it as manure and will obtain necessary permission from concerned

department.

• Distillation residue & spent carbon is sent to SEPPL for incineration or to

RSPL for co-processing, Spent Carbon is sent for Co-process at Ambuja

Cement Limited, used lubricating oil is used within premises as a

lubricant and in case of excess; disposed by selling to registered re-

refiners. Whereas discarded drums/containers are reuse or incase of

excess, disposed off by selling to registered recyclers. Off specific

products will be disposed to CHWIF for incineration/sent for co-



processing. Unit has provided isolated area with impervious flooring for

the storage of hazardous waste.

10.7.4 Noise Control

The main sources of noise generation will be from installation of

additional machineries and equipments, D.G. set. However, these impacts

will be very minor and temporary in nature. The impact on the

environment during the operational phase will be long term but of

insignificant. However, to minimize the noise pollution the unit proposes

the following noise control measures,

• Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or

protective measures should be provided, if required (wherever noise

level is more than 90 dB (A)).

• Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried

out for the machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.

• Use of PPE like ear plugs and ear muffs is made compulsory near the

high noise generating machines.

• Moreover, the personnel shall be provided breaks in their working

hours, with the continuous exposure not increasing three hours.

• The transportation contractor shall be informed to avoid unnecessary

speeding of the vehicles inside the premises.

• Acoustic enclosure shall be provided for D.G. set and similar provisions

like noise attenuator wherever suitable/possible.

• The selection of any new plant equipment will be made with

specification of low noise levels.

• Areas with high noise levels will be identified and segregated where

possible and will include prominently displayed caution boards.

• Adequate Greenbelt will be developed within industrial premises and

around the periphery to prevent the noise pollution.

• Periodic monitoring of noise levels as per post-project monitoring plan

shall be done on regular basis.

By taking measures as mentioned above, it is anticipated that noise

levels in the plant will be maintained below the permissible limit.



10.8 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the

air pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics improvement of

the area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere.

The unit has done extensive plantation in 23653 m2 in its existing unit

and some more area of about 61347m2 will be added for greenbelt

development. After expansion, total area of greenbelt area will be 85000

m2which will be more than 33% of total land area.

Design of Green Belt

As far as possible, following guidelines will be considered in greenbelt

development.

• The spacing between the trees will be maintained as per SPCB

guideline i.e. 1 tree/4 sqm.

• Spaces, so that the trees may grow vertically and slightly increase

the effective height of the greenbelt.

• Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered orientation.

• The short trees (< 10 m height) will be planted in the first two rows

(towards plant side) of the green belt. The tall trees (> 10 m height)

will be planted in the outer three rows (away from plant side).

Planting methodology

The plantation shall be done in pits. The pit shall be refilled with soil after

the planting. The sampling of healthy, nursery raised, seedlings in

polythene containers shall be transported in baskets. Planting shall be

done after first monsoon showers.The level of soil is about 10 cm above

of ground level. The soil around the plant shall be pressed to form a low

through. About 25 gm chemical fertilizers shall be added. Watering shall

be continued after plantation if any dry spells follows. Planted area shall

be inspected and mortality rate ensured for each species. The dead and

drying plant shall be replaced by fresh seedlings.

Selection of species for greenbelt

For the development of greenbelt, plants having simple big leaves and

native species are preferred to the plants.The plants are suitable for

greenbelt development based on gaseous exchange capacity of foliage

which is ascertained by the following characteristics:



- The plant should be fast growing.

- It should have thick canopy cover.

- It should be perennial and evergreen.

- It should have large leaf area index.

- It should be indigenous.

- It should be efficient in absorbing pollutants without significant effects

on plant growth.

The objectives of the industrial greenbelt are to improve the micro-

environment. The success depends on the type of land available and

selection of suitable tree species for pollution control. Selection of tree

species for industrial areas is influenced by the nature of industry. The

objective should be to ensure a green cover tolerating pollutant gases

and solid particulates present in the atmosphere. It is also advisable to

select suitable tree species and adopt simple techniques which require

minimum investment and care.

Plantation Programme

Plantation of trees in and around the company are meant mainly to

reduce air pollution caused by factory emissions, to absorb sound, to

prevent soil erosion and to maintain aesthetic value for healthy living.

11.2 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

11.2.1 Baseline EnvironmentalStudy

To predict the impact of the project on the surrounding environment, the

current baseline environmental status was studied by collecting the data

and carrying out monitoring during March, 2016 to May, 2016 in the

study area of 10 km radius from project site as per the TOR.

11.2.2 Air Environment

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at8 AAQM locations,

with a frequency of twice a week, to assess the existing sub-regional air

quality status during the period of March, 2016 to May, 2016.



Respirable Dust Sampler&Fine Particular Sampler along with the

analytical methods, prescribed by CPCB was used for carrying out air

quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and

NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison with

ambient air quality standards prescribed by the CPCB. The data on

concentrations of various pollutants were processed for different

statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum

and maximum concentration and various percentile values.

The results are summarized below:

11.3 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

MEASURES

Impact identification has been carried out for various activities involved in

construction as well as operational phase of the project and prediction

has been done for significant impacts. The summary of anticipated

adverse environmental impacts due to proposed expansion project and

mitigation measures is given below.

11.3.1 Summary of impacts on Air Environment:

(a) During construction phase &Mitigation measures

Main sources of impact during construction phase are due to movementof

vehicles &construction equipment at site, foundation works,

transportation of construction material etc.Water sprinkling in the vicinity

of the construction areawill be done to control dust. PUC certified vehicles

will be used.Temporary barricades will be provided to reduce spreading

ofparticulates from construction area.

(b) During operation phase&Mitigation measures

There is no process gas emission anticipated from the process. At

present, flue gas emission is from one common stack of 2 nos. of steam

boilers, where furnace Oil (FO) is used as fuel. After expansion, one boiler

will be modified/replace in terms of capacity from 3 TPH to 8 TPH.

Therefore, FO consumption will also increase.Flue gas emission is also

from stack attached with D. G. Set (1000 kVA & 680 kVA); after

expansion, D. G. set of 680 kVA will be dismantled and 3 new stand-by

D.G. sets of 1000 kVA each will be added. HSD will be used as a fuel. The

impact on air quality is assessed based on emissions of the boilers& D.

G.set in the plant.

Prediction of impacts on air environment is quantified using ISCST3

model. Maximum Ground level concentrationsof 24-hr averagefor PM,

SO2, NOx were found 0.434 μg/m3, 0.173 μg/m3, 0.182 μg/m3

respectively. The point of maximum concentration by unit would be 1.0

km from centre of industry in E direction.The obtained GLCs are well

within the24-hourly ambient air quality standards stipulated by CPCB.



However, to mitigate the impact due to the proposed expansion, unit will

provide adequate stack height for proper atmospheric dispersion as per

the norms.

11.3.2 Summary of impacts on Water Environment

(a) Impacts during construction phase & Mitigation measures:

Temporary impacts are likely to occur due to water

consumption&sewagegeneration. It will not be significant as water

requirement would be temporaryduring construction phase. Proper

sanitation facilities with adequate disposal system are already exists

within the operational plant.

(b) Impacts during operation phase & Mitigation measures:

Fresh water requirement of the unit is satisfy from own bore well. At

present, total water requirement is 589.5 KLD. Out of which; 349.5 KLD

is fresh water & 240 KLD is recycle water. After expansion; water

requirement will be increase up to 955 KLD; Out of which, 556 KLD will

be fresh water requirement.

Total w/w generation will be 399.0 KLD. Currently, the effluent is treated

in an adequate Effluent Treatment Plant having primary & secondary

treatment units followed by RO &MVR/MEE. Condensate of MVR/MEE &

permeate of second stage RO is used in Cooling. Treated effluent from

ETP is utilizedfor greenbelt development. After expansion, unit will treat

its effluent in exiting ETP. Hence, no impact on the water environment is

envisaged.

11.3.3 Impacts on Noise quality & Mitigation measures

(a) Impacts during construction phase & Mitigation measures:

During construction phase, major sourcesof noise are vehicle’s

movement&construction activities.High noiseproducing activities will be

restricted to daytime only.Well maintained equipment will be used to

prevent noise generation. Usage ofPPE by workers&proper maintenance

of machineries will be done to reduce impact of noise.

(b) Impacts during operation phase & Mitigation measures:

During the operation phase, the noise levels may increase due to the

operation of boiler, reactors, D. G. set and other machineries. The impact

is found to be insignificant outside the premises. Unit will provide



necessary PPEs like earplugs or earmuffs to all workers where exposure is

85 dB(A) or more and selection of any new plant equipment will be made

with specification of low noise levels.

11.3.4 Summary of Impacts on Land Environment

(a) Impacts during construction phase &Mitigation measures:

The construction activities like excavation, leveling & vehicular

movements will change the landscape, which are expected to be of short

duration and insignificant. Preliminary activities like proper storage of

construction materials& proper management will be done within the

project area. Therefore, impact will be negligible. Unit will provide

sanitation facilities for the staff engaged in construction work which will

prevent the impacts on land.

(b) Impacts during operation phase &Mitigation measures:

Hazardous wastes havesignificant negative impacts if disposed

unsystematically. Unithas provided all required structural facilities like

separate hazardouswaste storage room with RCC floor, leachate collection

system, concretefloors within premises. Hence, no significant negative

impact is envisaged on the land environment.

11.3.5 Summary of impact on Socio Economy

(a) Impacts during construction phase &Mitigation measures:

As the proposed expansion will be in the existing unit, no R&R is required.

Local contractors to be employed for construction, so no other issues like,

social conflict are envisaged.Temporary employment generated during

construction of project will have beneficial impacts on economic

environment.

(b) Impacts during operation phase &Mitigation measures:

Expansion project will require about 100additional persons forits

operation, which result into a positive impact on prevailing socio-

economic environment. Project will also have potential ofindirect

employment due to the increase transportation activities, contractual

worksas well as opportunity of trade.Thus, overall impacts on socio-

economic environment are long term and positive in nature.

11.3.6 Summary of impact onEcology



Unit is under operation and proposed expansion will bedone in the

existing premises only. There are no protected areas like National

Park/Wildlife Sanctuary within the 10 km radial periphery of the project

site so there will not be any significant impact on ecology.

11.4 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAMME:

The unit has a dedicated Environment Management Cell to monitor and

evaluate the environmental performanceand to supervise the

environment management measures. Budgetaryprovision for environment

& safety management system has been made in the projectplanning with

additional Rs. 3.0croreof capital cost and 3.25 crorerecurring cost per

Hazardous & Other Waste (Management & Transboundary Movement)

Rules, 2016. ETP sludge is disposed off at approved TSDF site.There is

possibility to use ETP sludge as organic manure as it is having good



nutrient value and primarily no hazardous characteristics found because

its major source is from biotechnology based fermentation. Distillation

residue is sent to SEPPL for incineration or to RSPL for co-processing,

spent carbon is sent to SEPPL for incineration or to RSPL for co-

processing or for co-processing at Ambuja Cement Ltd., used lubricating

oil is used within premises as a lubricant and in case of excess; disposed

by selling to registered re-refiners. Whereas discarded drums/containers

are disposed off by selling to registered recyclers. Off specific products

will be disposed to CHWIF or for co-processing/sent for co-processing.

The unit has provided isolated area with impervious flooring for the

storage of hazardous waste. Thus, hazardous waste management system

proposed by the unit is adequate. There will not be any major impact on

the environment due to hazardous waste management.

Special Remarks on Fire Hazards:Vapor may travel considerable distance to source of ignition and flash back. CAUTION: MAY BURN WITH NEAR INVISIBLEFLAME. Hydrogen peroxide sharply reduces the autoignition temperature of Isopropyl alcohol. After a delay, Isopropylalcohol ignites on contact with dioxgenyl tetrafluorborate, chromium trioxide, and potassium tert-butoxide. When heated todecomposition it emits acrid smoke and fumes.

Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards:Secondary alcohols are readily autooxidized in contact with oxygen or air, forming ketones and hydrogen peroxide. It canbecome potentially explosive. It reacts with oxygen to form dangerously unstable peroxides which can concentrate andexplode during distillation or evaporation. The presence of 2-butanone increases the reaction rate for peroxide formation.Explosive in the form of vapor when exposed to heat or flame. May form explosive mixtures with air. Isopropyl alcohol +phosgene forms isopropyl chloroformate and hydrogen chloride. In the presence of iron salts, thermal decompositon canoccur, whicn in some cases can become explosive. A homogeneous mixture of concentrated peroxides + isopropyl alcohol arecapable of detonation by shock or heat. Barium perchlorate + isopropyl alcohol gives the highly explosive alkyl perchlorates.
