Land Use

The existing land use pattern in the study area of 10 km radius around the project will be established through the literature review of published Census records and latest available satellite imagery. Based on this review, the land use pattern is categorized into the following five categories: 1. Forest; 2. Irrigated and agricultural Land; 3. Un-irrigated agricultural land; 4. Culturable wasteland; and 5. Land not available for cultivation, which includes built-up areas.

Demography and Socio-Economic Aspects

The existing status of demography and socio-economic factors will be established for the zone covered in 10 km radial distance around the project site based on the literature review and secondary sources such as the District Census Statistics. The demographic and socio-economic characteristics such as distribution and density of population, age-sex structure, sex ratio, social structure, literacy rates and occupational structure of people etc. will be established.

Soil Characteristics

The soil samples will be collected in the project study area from a depth of 0-90

cm from the ground. The locations will be selected to represent various land use conditions including proposed project site.

Water Quality

For assessing the water quality in the study area, the water samples will be collected once during the study period. The locations will be selected based on the reconnaissance survey of the area.

Meteorology

Meteorological data collected from the nearest observatory of India Meteorological Department (IMD) will be analyzed for probable wind directions, wind speeds, temperature, humidity, etc. Accordingly, the wind roses will be prepared.

The frequency of AAQ monitoring shall be monitored twice a week for 13 weeks during the study period from. Samples will be collected for PM10, PM2.5, NOx, and SO2 for 24 hours. Carbon monoxide will be monitored for every eight hours continuously for 24 hour AAQ monitoring. Terrestrial and Aquatic Ecology

a) Terrestrial Ecology Field surveys will be conducted at appropriate locations covering important vegetative areas for which vegetation analysis will be carried out. The vegetation density, diversity, frequency, relative abundance, cover etc. will be studied. In addition, wildlife including avifauna of the study area will also be determined. A checklist of flora, wild animals and avifauna will be prepared. Abundance of wild animals and birds will be estimated.

b) Aquatic Ecology Reconnaissance survey of the study area addresses identification of water bodies like rivers/nallas/ponds etc. The existing status of major water bodies will be thoroughly investigated for the flora and fauna including phytoplankton, zooplankton, fish and macrophytes. The water bodies will be studied during field studies for phyto and zooplankton density and diversity. Based on the primary and secondary surveys, a list of flora and fauna will be prepared.

Noise Levels

Noise level monitoring will be conducted at locations covering various categories such as industrial, residential, commercial and sensitive mentioned in the Environment Protection Rules and as per the specifications of the MoEF/CPCB. The survey will be carried out once during EIA study period. Readings will be taken over 24-hour period at each location depending on the level of activity. The equivalent continuous noise levels (Leq) will be monitored using an integrating sound level meter manufactured by Hi-Tech Instruments Limited.

• Identification of Sources of Pollution

Sources of Pollution in the Project Area

• The likely sources of air and water pollution will be identified and quantified; • The proposed pollution control measures envisaged in project area for fugitive

dust, noise pollution and other environmental effects of each project activities will be assessed for their adequacy;

• The present and proposed changes in land use pattern will be identified; and • Suitable Green Belt Development Plan will be prepared. Based on various project activities, the likely impact on the environment attributes in project area will be identified by: • Estimating the air pollution levels for PM, SO2 and NOx in the study area

during construction and operational activities; • Estimating the source emissions for each project specific pollutants; • Monitoring the source noise levels for all the noise generating sources; • Predicting the impact of wastewater discharges; • Determining the impact of construction activities (movement of construction

material); and • Studying the short-term and long-term effects on sensitive targets like

endangered species, crops and historically/archaeologically important sites (if any).

• Environmental Impact Assessment

The proposed project may have some impacts on the environment. The parameters likely to be affected are air quality, water quality, soil quality, noise levels, etc. on account of gaseous emissions, liquid effluent discharges, resultant particulates, generation of solid wastes, etc. The baseline data generated from the above mentioned studies will be analyzed and compared with applicable standards prescribed by the CPCB. By this means, the impact, whether positive or negative will be assessed and the environmental attributes requiring special attention for mitigating the negative impact, if any, will be identified. Also the areas, which fulfill the prescribed environmental norms and not requiring further improvements, will be specified. Both short-term and long term impacts particularly on sensitive targets such as habitat of endangered species of wildlife or mines, crops, historically/culturally important sites/monuments, centers with concentrated population in the study area will be established.

The baseline data generated is analyzed and compared with applicable standards

for each environmental attribute so that the critical environmental areas and also attributes of concern are identified.

A qualitative and quantitative assessment of pollution aspect of the proposed

project (air and dust, wastewater, noise pollution etc.) will be done to identify the adequacy of the proposed control measures as well as the likely impact on existing critical areas. Mitigation measures to reduce adverse impacts will be suggested.

29

• Environment Management Plan

An EIA report and eenvironment management plan based on three months field data generation prepared for the purpose of getting clearance from MoEF. EIA/EMP will be prepared based on one season data.

Green Belt Development Plan

A green belt development plan for the project site will be included in the EIA report. Disaster Management Plan and Occupational Safety

Risk assessment and action plan dealing with emergency situation arising due to fire, explosion, leakages of hazardous substances, etc. in the project will be done. The plans include storage, handling, transportation etc. for the hazardous materials to be used in the proposed project. Post Study Monitoring Plan

The Post Project Monitoring (PPM) plan will be prepared considering the following:

• The proposed pollution control measures for air, wastewater and solid waste

(hazardous/non-hazardous) disposal;

• Waste minimization, wastewater management, waste reuse and resource recovery, waste segregation to make the treatment and disposal cost-effective;

• The monitoring requirements for ensuring that the statutory as well as process data is collected; and

• The organizational set-up required meeting the above.

1.0 PROJECT BACKGROUND

Jammu airport is located near Satwari, 6 km from Jammu Tawi railway station, 110

km away from Pathankot airport and 1 km from National Highway no. 1. There is

consistent demand from all stakeholders to extend the runway to meet out the

safety requirement. As per DGCA there are two safety issues at Jammu Airport and

theses are pertaining to short runway length and provision of RESA for RWY 36. Due

to vehicular traffic on civil road at a distance of 80 feet from runway 18 the threshold

has been further displaced by 200 feet. The declared distances at Jammu Airport are

as follows:

RWY TORA TODA ASDA LDA

36 6700 ft 6700 ft 6700 ft 6700 ft

18 6700 ft 6900 ft 6900 ft 6500 ft

Initially scope of work was prepared in year 1999 for extension of runway at Jammu

Airport to cater for operation of A-321/B-737-800 type of aircraft. It was planned to

extend runway 18 by 700ft. (i.e. towards runway 36 side) and runway 36 by 1300ft.

(i.e. towards runway 18 side).

The extension of runway 18 by 700ft. was completed in year 2001-02; the extension

of runway 36 by 1300ft could not be taken up due to non-availability of land (army

land) & shifting of public roads and irrigation channels passing through the proposed

extension area. Out of transfer of approx. 17.05 acres of land belonging to Army, till

date army has given working permission to work in area of approx. 2.51 Acre.

Further the handing over process is nearing completion and the board proceedings

for final land transfer shall be completed by 30th june, 2018 as confirmed by DEO,

jammu.

Hence to meet out the safety standards there is urgent need to extend the runway.

1.1 Project Proponent
