1.4 Discussion on Soil Characteristics in the Study Area
List of Tables
To assess the soil in the area, the physico -chemical characteristics of soils within the study area
were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected points and analysis of the same. One
soil sample was collected from the project site for studying soil characteristics in the study area,
the location of which is listed in Table 1.1.
It is most essential to obtain a representative sample of soil from an area in any study. A
composite sample of an area is normally preferred. The soil sample was collected from the
selected site in the month of June-28, 2013 and transported to the laboratory and was spread for
air drying. After proper drying of the soil, large stones and other similar objects were removed
and the soil was grounded to break up aggregates and crumbs, and tested as per IS 2720 and
SMCA.The results are given in Table 1.2.
The physico-chemical characteristics of the soil in the study area, as obtained from the analysis
of the soil samples, are presented in Table 1.2.
The soil texture of project site is loamy sand and alkaline in nature with pH 8.12. The electrical
conductivity of the soil is 134 µS/cm.
Groundwater has been found as an important source for catering to the local needs of water
consumption for various purposes, mainly domestic. Keeping in view the importance of
groundwater to the local population, one sample of ground water was collected from the study
area for the monitoring and assessment of groundwater quality. The location is mentioned in
Table 2.1
The water sample was collected in the month of June 28, 2013. The sample was collected and
analyzed as per IS-3025. Grab sample of water was collected. Sample for chemical analysis was
collected in polyethylene car buoys. Sample for DO analysis was collected in the glass bottle of
capacity 300ml and the DO were fixed on site using KI and MnSO4. Sample for bacteriological
analysis was collected in the sterilized bottle. Specified physico-chemical and bacteriological
parameters have been analyzed for projecting the existing water quality status in the study area.
The detailed groundwater quality monitoring results are presented in Table 2.2.
All physico- chemical parameters of the ground water at project site is well within the permissible
limits as per IS: 10500. The pH of groundwater sample is slightly alkaline (7.40) in nature.
One sampling stations were set up for monitoring of ambient air quality within the study area.
The location of the monitoring station was selected so as to accord an overall idea of the ambient
air quality scenario in the study area. The location of the monitoring stations was based on
preliminary analysis of the meteorological conditions, particularly predominant/frequent wind
directions. Logistic considerations such as accessibility, security, and availability of reliable
power supply etc. were examined while finalizing the locations of such stations. The locations of
the ambient air quality monitoring stations in the study area are given in Table 3.1.
Respirable Dust Samplers and Fine Dust Samplers have been used to collect samples for PM
3
(10) and PM (2.5) in ambient air at a flow rate of 1.2 m /min. The ambient air was sucked through
the cyclone and filter paper by a blower. Samples of gases were drawn at a flow rate of 0.5 liters
per minute and were analyzed in the laboratory. Ambient air quality monitoring methodology is
given in Table 3.2.
The detailed on-site 24-hourly monitoring results of PM 10, PM 2.5, SO2 & NOx and 1-hourly CO
corresponding to air quality station AQ1 is presented in Table 3.3.

Monitoring station-wise statistical analysis (minimum, maximum, arithmetic mean) for measured
levels of PM 10, PM 2.5, SO2, NOx & CO in study area for the monitoring period are shown
parameter wise in Tables 3.4 to 3.8.

To assess the background noise levels in the study area ambient noise monitoring was
conducted in the Project area from 28/06/2013 to 29/06/2013. One location within the study area
(Near Main Gate of Project site) as indicated in Table 4.1 was selected for measurement of
present status of ambient noise levels, covering commercial and residential areas.
Pulsar Data logger Noise Meter (Model 30) was used to monitor the noise levels. Noise level was
monitored continuously for 24 hours with one hour interval. Noise level was measured in the form
of Leq, Lday, Lnight, L10, L50, L90, Ldn, Lmax, Lmin.
The detailed location wise ambient noise monitoring results is presented in Table 4.2. The
summary of ambient noise monitoring results is presented in Table 4.3.
