The conceptual Plan of the project is given at Annexure III

2.4 ROAD NETWORK:

The nearest major road is Hitech City to Alapur Road at a distance of 0.28

km from the Residential complex. Outer Ring Road is at about 4 KM from

the site and NH9 is at about 3.80 kms from the site. The access to the

project site is through the link road goes to Kukatpally Housing Board Road

at a distance of 1km. Fig 2.4 gives road net works and connecting point of

road to the site

2.5 WATER REQUIREMENT:

As per National Building Code,2005 (NBC), water requirement for

occupants is 135 litres/day/ person and for visitors the requirement is 15

litres/day/person. The total population likely to be accommodated would

be around 1400 people. Another 10 people would be there like security

and other support staff. Thus total water requirement for inmates is



estimated at 190 KLD. Quantity estimated for guests and visitors is

estimated at another 5 KLD. Considering washings of floors and other

requirement, a total requirement is estimated at 200 KLD. Out of this, it is

estimated that 50 KLD of water would be required for toilet flushing’s and

rest for other uses. Also it is estimated that about 50 KLD of water is required

for landscaping and plantation purposes. Thus total water requirement

would be 250 KLD

It is proposed to source water from HMWS&SB and the treated waste water

would be recycled for toilet flashings and green belt. Any additional

treated waste is there, same will be connected to municipal sewer

The total sewage water generated is 170 KLD. It is proposed to treat the

sewage in STP of capacity of 180 KLD. The treated waste water is used for

Flushing & gardening (100 KLD). Rest of the 170 KLD of treated water would

be send to municipal sewer. Thus the total fresh water requirement during

occupational stage is would be 150 KLD as detailed below

2.6 POWER REQUIREMENT:

The power requirement for the proposed project is estimated as 230 KVA

which will be sourced from the APTRANSCO



2.7 BACK-UP POWER DETAILS:

IT is proposed to provide emergency power back up for lifts, water

pumping and common area lighting with two DG sets of 1x 100 KVA and 1

x 150 KVA capacities.

2.8 FUEL REQUIREMENT:

The fuel requirement for 1 x 100 KVA and 1 x 150 KVA DG sets is 100 Liters.

The fuel used in DG sets is High Speed Diesel (HSD).

2.9 MAN POWER REQUIREMENT:

The maximum man power required for the development of proposed

project during construction phase is 50 persons. And during occupational

phase it would be around 10 people

2.10 ROADS & STREET LIGHTS:

As it is single block residential complex and parking area is provided in

cellars, direct paved road from gate to cellar areas would be provided.

Setbacks of minimum 7 meters al round the block is left for free movement

of fire tender as per the A.P. Fire services directorate guidelines

2.11 STORM WATER DRAINS:

All along the block of the housing complex, storm water drains would be

provided to collect water during rains. They would adequately sized to

prevent over flooding of the site. Storm water collection sump is proposed

before discharging to municipal sewers.



2.12 ENVIRONMENTAL INFRASTRUCTURE:

a). Waste Water Generation & Management:

Total quantity of wastewater generation is likely to be 170 KLD. The

generated waste water is collected and treated in in-house Sewage

Treatment Plant of 180 KLD capacity. Out of the total treated water, 100

KLD is used for Gardening & Flushing and rest would be discharged to

municipal sewers. The water balance details are presented below.

The waste water generated from process i.e 170 KLD which will be treated

in S.T.P. The available recycled water after treatment @ 100 KLD will be

used for Gardening & Flushing and the rest will be disposed to sewer

system. It should therefore be concluded there is no significant impact on

surface water quality & hydrology of the area. The proposed rainwater

harvesting scheme stabilizes the groundwater table in the area.

Sewage Treatment Process Description:

SEWAGE treatment plant is designed to treat 180 cum of Sewage per day.

This Sewage shall be generated across the 3 shifts. The proposed scheme is

depicted in the figure attached below.

Primary treatment: The Sewage is collected and led via drain to the

treatment plant site. In the drains, screens shall be provided for retaining

coarse matter. The screens are manual type and are to be cleaned at

regular intervals. Two stages of screens are provided i.e. coarse screen

followed by fine screens. The Sewage is then taken to grit chamber for

removal of grit. Following removal of grit, the Sewage is taken to an

equalization tank for attenuation of variation in waste flow rate and

characteristics. It is proposed to have equalization tank with holding

capacity of 6 hours DT. For mixing, and to avoid solids from settling, air shall

be bubbled in the equalization tank through a grid placed at the base of

the tank. The equalized Sewage is pumped at a uniform and constant rate

for further treatment.

Secondary treatment: Sewage from the primary stage treatment is

subjected to bio-chemical oxidation in aeration tank. An attached growth

fluidized bed aerobic system working as an extended aeration system is

proposed. Air for aeration is supplemented by means of blowers

connected to air diffusers. For immobilizing the microbes, high surface area



to volume ratio synthetic media shall be provided in the aeration tank. This

system has the following advantages:

a) Smaller foot print area

b) Ease in operation and maintenance

c) Operator skills required are minimal

d) System less susceptible to upset conditions (shock loading, power

failure etc.)

e) Lower energy requirements

f) No clogging or chocking of the media.

Following bio-chemical oxidation, the Sewage from the aeration tank is

taken to a tube-deck (secondary settling tank) for solid-liquid separation.

The sludge collected in the hopper bottom of the settling tank is

periodically withdrawn to sludge sump tank. Overflow from the settling

tank is subjected to tertiary treatment. Overflow from the secondary

settling tank is taken to chemical oxidation tank for chemically oxidizing

the residual contaminants. Chlorine shall be added for chemical oxidation.

For adequate contact time a chlorine contact chamber with 30 minutes

detention time and mixing arrangement is proposed.

Tertiary treatment: The Sewage from chlorine contact chamber is then

collected in a sump and pumped to a pressure sand filter for removal of

particulate matter. The Sewage is then taken through an activated carbon

column for removal of trace organics and pollutants (chlorine, color, trace

organics etc.).

Sludge Treatment: Sludge from the settling tank shall be transferred to

sludge sump tank. By using filter press feed pumps we transfer the sludge

from sludge sump tank to filter press. The water from the filter press is

recycled into the equalization tank.



FIGURE – 2.5– PROPOSED SCHEME OF TREATMENT



c). Solid & Hazardous Waste Details:

Domestic garbage is anticipated from the residential complex. Total solid

waste estimated @ 1 Kg/day per house hold. Thus total garbage

anticipated from the complex will be 313 kg/day which is proposed to be

disposed to municipal solid waste disposal facility of MCH through local

municipal authorities. About 300 Kgs/month of solid waste anticipated from

sewage treatment plant and same will be used as manure.

The hazardous waste generated will primarily be waste lube oil from

maintenance of DG sets of about 80 liters per annum and 40 liters per

annum of transformer oil from transformers. This waste oils will be collected

in barrels and disposed off through parties authorized by APPCB / CPCB.

2 no’s of per annum of used batteries will be disposed of by a buy-back

arrangement with the battery supplier.

3.0 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT

3.1 BASELINE SCENARIO

In order to assess the current environmental setting and likely impact of the

project on the surroundings, baseline study is carried out by M/s. Pridhvi

Envirotech (P) Limited. Ground water, ambient air, noise and soil samples

were collected and analyzed. The results are presented in the following

sections.

3.2 MICROMETEOROLOGY

Hot steppe type climate prevails over Hyderabad. The mean daily

temperature varies from 300C to 430C from April to June and from 200C to

240C in the months of December and January. The climate is pleasant from

November to February. The summer months of April and May are

uncomfortable due to oppressive heat. The period from July to September

is warm, humid and uncomfortable.

More than 75 per cent of the rainfall is received during the south-west

monsoon season, i.e., from June to September, July being the month when

it rains. September is the month, when there are rains. The south-west

monsoon sets in by 2nd week of June. Its advent is sudden and the rainfall

increases from less than 5 per cent (of the annual) in May to 15 per cent in

June.

Humidity in the morning is high exceeding 80 per cent from July to

September. In the dry months of March, April and May, humidity is

generally low with an average of 25 to 30 per cent and decreases to 20



per cent at individual stations. June to October is the period when more

than half of the sky is covered with clouds, while only about 2/8 of the sky is

clouded from January to March. Half of the days in July and August have

overcast skies. About 10 to 13 days in the months of January, February and

March, the skies are free from clouds, clear weather.

The ambient temperature ranges between 17oC to 35oC with average

temperature being 25oC. The relative humidity ranges from 28 to 65% with

average humidity being about 45%.

3.3 AIR QUALITY:

The ambient air quality in the study area was measured at project site and

4.2 AIR EMISSION SOURCES

Air emissions have no boundaries and can migrate between areas

depending upon the wind direction and speed.

4.2.1 Predicted Air Emissions from the site

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

During the construction phase, PM is expected to be the main pollutant

associated with on-site roads (paved and unpaved), stockpiles and

material handling. In this case, pollution emission sources shall be

distributed throughout the project site and shall fall under the category of

area source. The land acquired is fairly flat, so extensive formation work is

not expected during this phase. It is assumed that most of the excavated

material shall be used within the project, with minimal cut and fill material

to come from outside the site.

Due to the confined nature of heavy construction activity during this

limited period, tailpipe emissions from construction equipment are

assumed to be essentially negligible.

OPERATIONAL PHASE

During the operational phase, the diesel generator sets to be operated for

back-up power supply are the major source of air pollution. From this point

source, the following pollutants are expected;

PM, SO2, NOx and CO



Diesel Generator Set Fuel Combustion - Point Source

To serve as a emergency power back-up, two diesel generators of 1 x 100

KVA & 1 x 150 KVA connected to individual stacks shall be installed. The

diesel generator sets are operated only during power failure thus

conserving fuel and reducing the pollution.

As a worst-case scenario, emissions were predicted assuming an operation

time of 24 hours. The emissions from the diesel generators are provided in

the following table:

4.3 NOISE EMISSIONS SOURCES

The assessment of the impacts of noise on the surrounding community

depends upon:

Characteristics of noise source (instantaneous, intermittent, or

continuous in nature, with the latter contributing the least to noise

pollution);

Time of day at which noise occurs; and

Location of noise source with respect to noise sensitive receptor.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The description of construction activity as detailed in Section 4.2.1 (with

regards to spatial phasing and type of sources) is also pertinent to the



noise emissions emitted in the construction phase. Sources of noise

emissions are expected from various types of construction equipment.

General noise levels generated from the operation of equipment and

machinery are provided in Table 4.3 below:

OPERATIONAL PHASE

During the operational phase, the diesel power generators will be the

major source of noise.

Diesel Generator Sets

Noise Limit for Generator sets run with Diesel

Noise limit for diesel generator sets (upto 1000 KVA) manufactured on or

after the 1st January, 2005.

The maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator

(DG) sets with rated capacity upto 1000 KVA, manufactured on or after

the 1st January, 2005 shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 meter from the enclosure

surface.

Noise control for diesel generator will be as follows:-

Noise from DG set shall be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure

or by treating the room acoustically, at the users end.

The acoustic enclosure or acoustic treatment of the room shall be

designed for minimum 25 dB (A) insertion loss or for meeting the ambient

noise standards, whichever is on the higher side ( if the actual ambient

noise is on the higher side, it may not be possible to check the

performance of acoustic enclosure/ acoustic treatment. Under such

circumstances the performance may be checked for noise reduction upto

actual ambient noise level, preferably, in the night time).The measurement

for Insertion Loss may be done at different points at 0.5 m from the acoustic

enclosure/ room. The DG set shall be provided with proper exhaust muffler

with insertion loss of minimum 25 dB (A).These limits shall be regulated by



the State Pollution Control Boards and the State Pollution Control

Committees.

4.4 WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT

4.4.1 WATER REQUIREMENTS

Water requirement during the construction phase will be met from water

tankers. The required water during the operational phase will be sourced

from HMWS&SB. However, in the event of non availability of water or for

any excess requirement of water during the operational phase, the

proponents are proposing backup with the aid of rainwater collection in

the reservoirs which will be duly treated, water recycling and water tankers

(in case of water supply failure). It is also emphasized that at any stage of

the project, groundwater reserves would not be exploited for the water

requirement. The water requirements during various phases of the project

are discussed below:

A) CONSTRUCTION PHASE

The project implementation would involve various construction activities.

The following section summarizes the water requirement, its sources and

management of wastewater.

Site development:

Development of site for the proposed development involves excavation,

leveling of the ground surface and stock piling. However as the project site

is flat with no vegetation cover, the leveling activities would result in very

less water usage. Water requirement for any use at this stage would be

provided from water tankers. Similarly, the generation of domestic

wastewater can be managed on site.

http://www.cpcb.nic.in/



Construction of building infrastructure:

The construction of building infrastructure that includes residential and

other units, Offices, restaurants and multiplex would require water and may

generate waste water too. Water demand during construction phase

would be for:

Construction activities.

Domestic use.

Construction phase may last for a period of approximately two years in

order to complete the earthwork, foundation lying, superstructure

development, service provision and finishing. The water requirement is

being met from the water tankers.

B) OPERATIONAL PHASE

Daily Water Requirement and Sources:

It has been mentioned before that the domestic water requirements will

be met from the HMWS&SB Water supply scheme. The water requirement

for Flushing, Gardening, Landscaping and other purposes would be met

from duly treated recycled water. However, in case of failure of HMWS&SB,

water requirements are planned to be met partly by ground water &

through private tankers. Rain water will be recharged to the ground to

augment the water table in the area. Water tankers will be used only in

case of any emergency or failure of water supply by HMWS&SB or

insufficiency of the water reservoir.



Water conservation:

Water conservation is an important part of sustainable living and in order to

optimize the water requirement in the project, the developers would

incorporate the component of water conservation by means of rainwater

harvesting and water recycling using fixtures which are low flow and water

efficient models such as 3 litre capacity WC flushing system, sensor

operated urinals and taps to minimize the wastage of water along with

employee education and awareness programme and selective use of dry

type urinals. As per the approved plans from GHMC, various mitigative

measures shall be proposed to further minimize the impacts.

Storm Water Management & Rain Water Harvesting Structures

It is proposed to channelizing the storm water by constructing water drains

leading to the storm water sump. In order to minimize the surface runoff

loss, groundwater recharging through groundwater recharge pits at the

project site has been planned. Appropriate design considerations have

been taken while designing the recharge pits.

Calculating Runoff for Water Harvesting

Calculating runoff is an important step in designing your water harvesting

system. You should determine both your water supply and your water

demand. Use this worksheet to determine your rainwater supply.

Catchment Area: the area in which rain directly falls (i.e. a roof, a

driveway, or a landscape). The area is the same regardless of slope; you

can also think of the area as seen from a birds-eye view or as the horizontal

surface space occupied.



Runoff Coefficient: the average percentage of rainfall that will run off a

particular surface (i.e. a metal roof has a runoff coefficient of 0.95 or 95%

runoff). The runoff coefficient will vary depending on the composition of

the surface and the rainfall intensity.

Annual Rainfall: the average amount of rainfall over one year period for

your location.

groundwater recharging through the Harvesting pits. 18 no’s of Rain Water

Harvesting pits are provided at four corners of the site.

4.4.2 WASTEWATER QUANTIFICATION AND CHARACTERISTICS

The wastewater generation during construction and operational phase is

described below:


Waste water generation during construction period shall be from

construction labours and construction activities. Wastewater generation

due to construction activities would be very less. Since the project lies in an

urban stretch, preference would be given to the employment of labours



local to the area. This would result in settlement of less labour colonies in

the project site and hence less wastewater generation from the transit

labour settlements. Wastewater generation from labour colonies shall not

exceed 2 KLD.


During this phase, it has been assumed that 80 % of the water supplied will

be discharged as wastewater (Source: Manual on sewerage and sewage

treatment, published by Government of India). Hence approximately 140

m3 per day of domestic effluent would be generated.

Wastewater generated is expected to have characteristics and pollution

load as shown in Table 4.6.

TABLE 4.6: EXPECTED WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS AND POLLUTION LOAD

Parameter Unit Concentration

Quantity KLD 170

pH -- 6.5-8.5

Oi l & Grease Mg/l 20

TSS Mg/l 200



The wastewater with the foresaid characteristics can neither be

discharged into inland surface water nor reused. Suitable treatment would

be given to the wastewater so as to meet CPCB requirements depending

upon the end use. It is proposed to install a sewage treatment plant of

capacity 180 KLD, to recover the recycled water of quality suitable for use

in flushing and gardening. A sewage treatment plant of 180 KLD capacity

based on Fluidized Aerobic Bio-Reactor (FAB) technology is proposed to



treat 170 KLD of sewage water generated in the proposed project .After

treatment the water will be used for Flushing & Gardening.

The treated wastewater shall meet the standard required for discharge on

land for horticulture. Table 4.7 gives the comparison of the standards that

would be met by the treated wastewater and quality norms prescribed for

discharge on land by irrigation.

4.5 SOLID AND OTHER WASTES

Waste quantification and characterization exercise is being carried out to

estimate the quantum and type of waste that would be generated by

different activities due to proposed project during construction and

operation phase. The estimated quantity and quality of waste would serve

as a baseline for designing collection, transportation, treatment and

disposal options for solid waste generated due to proposed project.

estimated based on National and International standards applicable in

similar setting. The following section gives the details of the type of waste

generated by different activity, waste generation factors and assumptions

used for estimating waste generation.



Waste quantification and characterization exercise is being carried out to

estimate the quantum and type of waste that would be generated by

different activities due to the proposed project activity during the

construction and operation phase.

4.5.2 WASTE QUANTIFICATION


Construction activities create solid wastes that need to be disposed. Such

wastes include sand, concrete, gravel, stone, bricks, plastic, paper, wood,

metal and glass. According to a report prepared by the Technology

Information, Forecasting, and Assessment Council (TIFAC), estimated waste

generation during construction and demolition operations is 60 kg/m2 and

500 kg/m2 respectively (TIFAC, 2001). This waste after sorting can be used

for backfilling in the basement and for leveling purposes.


Waste quantification has been carried out based on the activities

proposed in the project master plan. Waste generation factors for each

activity are as per the National and International standards applicable in

similar setting. Following section outlines details of the type of waste

generated by different activities.

Residential waste: Domestic garbage is anticipated from the residential

complex. Total solid waste estimated @ 1 Kg/day per house hold. Thus total

garbage anticipated from the complex will be 313 kg/day which is

proposed to be disposed to municipal solid waste disposal facility of MCH

through local municipal authorities. About 300 Kgs/month of solid waste

anticipated from sewage treatment plant and same will be used as

manure.



Garden and open spaces: Waste from open spaces and garden comprise

of horticultural waste that will be generated by periodical lawn mowing

and trimming of trees. Horticulture waste generated is based on the

experience in other projects with similar setting. Assumed waste generation

factor for horticulture waste is 15 kg/acre / day or .0037 kg/ sq m /day.

Waste characterization for the proposed project has been carried out on

the basis of waste characterization studies in similar settings. The following

section details the estimated waste generation for proposed project during

construction and operation phases.


During the construction phase, a considerable quantum (90%) of waste

generated at the project site would be inert waste, which largely

comprising of clay, sand, gravel, untreated wood (natural wood, no paint),

brick, concrete, concrete block, asphalt, pipes, conduits and light steel

material. A major portion of this waste will be used for backfilling the

basement and other leveling purposes.

CHAPTER – 6

6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.0 INTRODUCTION:

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed

to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable

manner where all contractors and subcontractors, including consultants,

understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed

project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. EMP also

ensures the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the

design by taking appropriate mitigative actions to reduce adverse

environmental impacts during its life cycle.

The plan outlines existing and potential problems that may adversely impact

the environment and recommends corrective measures where required. Also,

the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and contractors

who are charged with the responsibility to manage the site.

The EMP is generally:

Prepared in accordance with rules and requirements of the MOEF and the

Telangana Pollution Control Board;

To ensure that the component of facility are operated in accordance with

the design;

Process that confirms proper operation through supervision and

monitoring;

System that addresses public inconvenience during construction and

operation of the facility; and



Plan that ensure remedial measures are implemented immediately.

The key benefits of the EMP are that it provides the organization with means

of managing its environmental performance thereby allowing it to contribute

to improved environmental quality. The other benefits include cost control as

improved relations to the stakeholders.

EMP includes four major elements;

Commitment & Policy: Project proponents will strive to provide and

implement the EMP that incorporates all issues related to air, land and

water for the project.

Planning: This includes identification of environmental impacts, legal

requirements and setting environmental objectives.

Implementation: This comprises of resources available to the developers,

accountability of contractors, training of operational staff associated with

environmental control facilities and documentation of measures to be

taken.

Measurement & Evaluation: This includes monitoring, corrective actions,

and record keeping.

It is suggested that as part of the EMP, a Monitoring Team should be formed

by the project proponent comprising of the site in-charge, project planning

group representative and project implementation team representative. This

committee’s role would be to ensure proper, operation and management of

the EMP including the regulatory compliance.

6.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be required to mitigate the

adverse environmental impacts during construction and operation phase of

the project and these are as below:



6.1.1 EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT


To mitigate the impact of PM (dust) during the construction phase of the

proposed project, the following measures are recommended for

implementation:

a dust control plan; and

Procedural changes to construction activities.

TABLE 6.1: DUST CONTROL PLAN

S.No Fugitive Dust

Source Category

Dust Control Actions

1. Earth-moving - For any earth moving which is more than

30m from all property lines, conduct

watering as necessary to prevent visible

dust emissions from exceeding 100m in

length in any direction.

2. Disturbed surface areas

(except completed

grading areas)

- Apply dust suppression in a sufficient

quantity and frequency to maintain a

stabilized surface;

- Areas, which cannot be stabilized, as

evidenced by wind driven dust, must

have an application of water at least

twice per day to at least 80 percent of

the unstabilized area.

Disturbed surface areas

(completed grading

areas)

- Apply water to at least 80 percent of all

inactive accessible disturbed surface

areas on a daily basis when there is

evidence of wind driven fugitive dust.

3. Inactive disturbed surface

areas

- Apply dust suppressants in sufficient

quantity and frequency to maintain a

stabilized surface.



4. Unpaved roads -Water all roads used for any vehicular

traffic at least twice per day of active

operations; OR

- Water all roads used for any vehicular

traffic once daily and restrict vehicle

speed to 30 kmph.

5. Open storage piles - Apply water to at least 80 percent of the

surface areas of all open storage piles on

a daily basis when there is evidence of

wind driven fugitive dust.

6. Track-out control -Downwash of trucks (especially tyres)

prior to departure from site.

The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of water

tends to be readily available on a construction site. Water can be applied

using water trucks, handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems.

Furthermore, incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in

transport, especially if material is transported off-site.

Procedural Changes to Construction Activities

Material Production - The transport of materials such as concrete and asphalt

to construction sites generate significant amounts of road dust, especially for

sites that are relatively far from material manufacturers. Setting up temporary

portable concrete plants and/or asphalt plants at construction sites can

eliminate haulage of materials.

Emission Control for Equipment- Control equipment such as particle filters can

be used to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions.

Idling Time Reduction - Construction equipment is commonly left idling while

the operators are on break or waiting for the completion of another task.



Emissions from idling equipment tend to be high, since catalytic converters

cool down, thus reducing the efficiency of hydrocarbon and carbon

monoxide oxidation. Existing idling control technologies, which automatically

shut the engine off after a preset time can reduce emissions, without

intervention from the operators.

Improved Maintenance - Recognizing that significant emission reductions

can be achieved through regular equipment maintenance, contractors will

be asked to provide maintenance records for their fleet as part of the

contract bid and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract. A

monetary incentive/disincentive provision will be established to encourage

contractors to comply with regular maintenance requirements.

Reduction of On-site Construction Time - Rapid on-site construction would

reduce the duration of traffic interference and therefore, reduce emissions

from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of structural components can also

enhance the quality of work, as the production takes place in controlled

settings and external factors such as weather and traffic do not interfere.

B) OPERATION PHASE

To mitigate the impact of pollutants from diesel generator sets during the

operational phase of the site the following measures are recommended for

implementation:

Diesel generator set emission control measures; and

Greenbelt development.



Diesel Generator Set Emission Control Measures

The most important pollutant requiring further control is NOx, as the impact of

SO2 emission is minimal because of the use of low (~0.05%) Sulphur in diesel as

fuel.

The following mitigation measures are proposed for NOx reduction:

add-on emission control technologies; and

NOx retarder

Among the above-mentioned options, inherent low NOx emissions

technologies (i.e. a temperature retarder) and better dilution through higher

stack are preferred cost effective mitigation measures. The add-on emission

control technologies are not considered as it leads to pollution transfer to

another media and shall require further mitigative measures.

Greenbelt Development

Increasing vegetation in the form of greenbelt is one of the preferred

methods to mitigate air pollution. Plants serve as a sink for pollutants, reduce

the flow of dust and reduce noise pollution.

6.1.2 EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT


To mitigate the impact of noise from construction equipment during the

construction phase of the site the following measures are recommended for

implementation:

Noise Shields - Construction equipment producing the most amount of noise

should be fitted with noise shields. This shield is a physical barrier (composed



of brick and mud, with a non reflective internal plastering), approximately 3

meters in height, which will provide adequate noise attenuation.

Time of Operation - Noisy construction equipment should not be permitted

during night hours.

Job Rotation and Hearing Protection - Workers employed in high noise areas

will be rotated. Earplugs/muffs, or other hearing protective wear will be

provided to those working very close to the noise generating machinery.

B) OPERATION PHASE

To mitigate the impact of noise from diesel generator sets during the

operational phase the following measures are recommended for

implementation:

Noise emissions control technologies; and

Greenbelt development.

Noise Emissions Control Technologies: All the diesel generators will be housed

in a suitable acoustic enclosure so that noise levels at a distance of one

meter do not exceed 75 dB(A) at 75% load (as per CPCB norms). The diesel

generator set housing will be equipped with walls and ceilings lined with glass

wool to acoustically treat the noise levels. This acoustic insulation shall be

designed to meet the mandatory standards based on a 25 dB(A) insertion

loss.

Greenbelt Development: The following species can be used in a greenbelt to

serve as noise breakers:

Tectona grandis (Teak);

Butea monosperma (Palash);

Leucana leucocephala (Subabual);

Mangifera indica (Aam); and

Dalbergia Sissoo (Shisham).



6.1.3 EMP FOR WATER ENVIRONMENT


To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of the water source,

adequate control measures have been proposed to check the surface run-

off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body. Following

management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during

the construction phase.

Avoid excavation during monsoon season.

No discharge of treated wastewater to soil and ground water body.

Waste water channels from the site would be connected to septic tank

during construction to prevent wastewater from entering the water

bodies.

To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease,

leak proof containers should be used for storage and transportation of

oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area should be kept

effectively impervious. Any wash off from the oil/grease handling area

or workshop shall be drained through impervious drains, Clarifiers or

oil/water separators shall be constructed and effluent should be

treated appropriately before releasing it.

Construction activities generate disturbed soil, concrete fines, fertilizer,

oils and other wastes. On-site collection and settling of storm water,

prohibition of equipment wash downs, and prevention of soil loss and

toxic releases from the construction site are necessary to minimize

water pollution.



All stacking and loading areas should be provided with proper garland

drains equipped with baffles to prevent run off from the site to enter

any water body.

B) OPERATION PHASE

In the operation phase of the project, water conservation and development

measures need to be taken including all possible potential for conservation of

water, reuse, rainwater collection in reservoirs, and recycling of waste water.

These could be in the form of the following:

Water source Development

Minimizing water consumption

Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed

loop systems for different water streams.

Water Source Development

Water source development shall be practiced by installation of scientifically

designed artificial water recharging structures. The objective is to develop the

water sources of the region, such that sustainable water supply to the

proposed project is maintained. Following methods normally do artificial

recharge;

Area Treatment

Spreading Methods

Open Well and Shafts

Drilled wells and Bore Holes

The suitability of a particular method is based on hydro-geological condition,

quality of source and proposed use of recharge water. In the proposed



project, groundwater recharge pits are planned for groundwater recharging.

It is envisaged that recharging to ground water will improve the water quality

in the area, as the rainwater is fresh and without any pollution. It is planned to

effectively harvest water by rainwater harvesting mechanism.

Minimizing Water Consumption

Water consumption will be minimized by implementing water efficient fixtures

such as 3 litres WC flushing cistern and taps to minimize the wastage of water

together with other water conservation measures. Furthermore, to ensure

ongoing water conservation, an employee education and awareness

programme will be introduced for the employee of the mall. Dry type urinals

will also be used selectively. Following section discusses the specific

measures, which shall be implemented;

Residential Usage:

Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (ultra flow toilets and urinals,).

Water efficient plumbing fixtures use less water with no marked

reduction in quality and service. To install water less W.C. flushing

cistern helps in conserving water.

Leak detection and repair techniques

Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down

for external areas;

Awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge on strategies and

technologies that can be used for water conservation

New employees will be issued a standard water information packet.

The information should include water conservation plans, water

conservation methods being adopted in the complex and a list of

essential and non-essential water uses.



Office Manager will periodically remind the staff of water conservation

efforts and notify staff of recurring problems with compliance or any

changes in policy. As new conservation efforts are implemented, the

manager will communicate these changes to the employees.

Proper methods of water use will be placed in the toilets and other

areas of water consumption.

Horticulture:

Drip irrigation system shall be used for the lawns and other green area.

Drip irrigation can save between 15-40% of the water use, compared

with other watering techniques.

Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common

zones to match precipitation heads and emitters.

Use of low-volume, low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas.

Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture

sensors to account for seasonal variations, and calibrate them during

commissioning.

Selecting a drought resistant grass, and using lawn chemicals and

fertilizer sparingly also reduces watering needs.

Place 3 to 5 in. of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation.

Promoting Reuse of Water after Treatment and Development of Closed Loop

Systems

To promote reuse of Water after Treatment and development of closed loop

system for water, segregation of two schemes namely (i) Wastewater

Treatment scheme; and (ii) Storm water management scheme have been

suggested.



Harvested storm water as discussed in earlier section, shall be utilized for

artificial recharge of ground water sources as well as to augment the project

water requirements. Recycled wastewater shall be reused on site for flushing,

and gardening.

It is estimated that reusing wastewater will save approximately 30 to 35 % of

portable water per day in the shopping mall. Following section details the

wastewater treatment scheme suggested for the project.

6.1.4 EMP FOR LAND ENVIRONMENT


Waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris,

biomass from land clearing activities (if any), waste from the labour camp,

and. other waste. The following section discusses management of each type

of waste. Besides management of topsoil is an important area for which

management measures are required.

Construction Debris

Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling is an

important strategy for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry

constitute the majority of waste generated, recycling of this waste by

conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced landfill space and

reduced extraction of raw material for new construction activity. This is

particularly applicable to shopping mall project as the construction is to be

completed in a phased manner.

Recycled aggregate will be used for filler application, and as a sub-base for

internal road construction. Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, shall not



be used as fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and will be

given to recyclers.

Construction contractors shall remove metal scrap from structural steel,

piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work from the site. A

significant portion of wood scrap can be reused on site. Recyclable wastes

such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc shall be sold to recyclers.

Solid and Other waste

Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints,

solvents, wood preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Such wastes

generated during construction phase shall be stored in sealed containers,

labeled, and disposed of as required by the Hazardous Wastes Management,

Handling and Transboundary Movement Amendment Rules (MoEF, 2009).

Some management practices to be developed are;

Herbicides and pesticide will not be over applied (small-scale

applications) and not applied prior to rain;

Paintbrushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be

cleaned within a contained area and shall not be allowed to

contaminate site soils, watercourses, or drainage systems.

Adequate storage facilities for such waste shall be provided and the

waste collection containers conveniently located. A separate

designation to earmark such waste will be made so that the waste

storage areas are away from storm drains or watercourses.

Clearly label all such waste containers with the waste being stored and

the date of generation.

Educate employees and subcontractors on waste storage and

disposal procedures.



Soil Management

Measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion and

contamination include - Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping

and green belt development.

To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers

should be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash

off from the oil/grease handling area shall be drained through

impervious drains and treated appropriately before disposal.

Vegetation of bare areas after the project.

Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction).

Construction of erosion prevention troughs/berms.


The philosophy of solid waste management at the shopping mall will be to

encourage the four R’s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and

recovery (materials & energy). This will reduce in lesser reliance on land filling.

Regular public awareness meetings will be conducted to involve the

occupants and the employees to ensure proper segregation, storage and

collection of waste as per the Municipal Solid Waste (Management and

Handling) Rules 2000.

The Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste focuses on the

Segregation, Storage at source and Collection of the waste management

system.



Segregation and storage at source

Segregation of waste at source should be made mandatory for the complex.

Segregation or sorting waste at its source should be practiced in order to

encourage reuse/recycling. With segregation at source recyclables do not

lose their commercial value due to cross contamination.

Waste generated at the complex should be segregated as: bio degradable,

inert cum mixed waste, recyclables and waste from changing oil. The entire

waste stream from the complex should be stored and collected separately.

Collection

The Recyclables from the shopping mall would be given to the waste

itinerant buyers or rag pickers, whereas segregated bio-degradable waste

and inert cum mixed waste shall be sent to the nearest landfill site for

processing and final disposal. Wastes, such as spent oils, paint residues etc.

from the site would be collected separately & would be properly disposed

off.

6.1.5 EMP FOR BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Construction activities change the natural environment. But it also creates a

built environment for the surrounding. The project requires the

implementation of following choices exclusively or in combination.


Restriction of construction activities to defined project areas, which are

ecologically less sensitive.



Restrictions on location of labour camps and offices for project staff

near the project area to avoid human induced secondary additional

impacts on the flora and fauna species.

Cutting, uprooting, coppicing of trees or small trees present in and

around the project site for cooking, burning or heating purposes by the

laborers will be prohibited and suitable alternatives for this purpose will

be found.

Along the major construction work the peripheral greenbelt should be

developed, so that; it will grow to become a full-fledged green cover

by the time the construction is over.

B) OPERATION PHASE

Enhancement of current ecology at the proposed project site will entail the

following measures:

Plantation & landscaping

Green Belt Development

Park & avenue plantation

The section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the

above objective.

Plantation & landscaping

Selection of the plant species will be based on their adaptability to the

existing geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the

forest type of the region.

During the development of the green belt within the project area, it has to be

emphasized that those native plant species should be planted which are



having good ornamental values and fast growing with excellent canopy

cover.

Selection of plant species for Green belt development

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various

factors such as climate, elevation and soil. The list of plant species, which can

be suitably planted, and having significant importance are provided in Table

6.3. The plants should exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to

be selected for plantation.

i. The species should be fast growing and providing optimum

penetrability.

ii. The species should be wind-firm and deep rooted.

iii. The species should form a dense canopy.

iv. As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally

available

v. Species tolerance to air pollutants like SPM, SO2 and NOx should be

preferred.

vi. The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and

mixing within the belt.

vii. There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through.

viii. Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on

both the surfaces.

ix. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.

x. Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing, rapidly decomposable leaf litter).
