EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Introduction
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), the largest commercial undertaking in India and a Fortune
'Global 500' company, is engaged in the business of refining, transportation and marketing of
petroleum products. As a group, IOCL owns and operates ten refineries in India with a total
capacity of over 1.3 million BPSD. It also owns and operates a wide network of crude & products
pipelines. It has its own Research & Development Centre situated at Faridabad, Haryana, near
New Delhi.
IOCL is planning to expand storage and handling of LPG by setting up LPG Import Facility in the
existing LPG Marketing Terminal premises based on the international supply / Indian demand
scenario of LPG & its constituents (Propane & Butane). Mounded bullets for bulk Butane &
Propane storage (20 Nos. x 2,000 MT) will be set up for storage purpose and dispatched through
pipeline or tank truck to various destinations by road.
Type of Project
The project falls under category „B‟, section 6(b) “Isolated storage & handling of hazardous
chemicals” of EIA notification 2006 and subsequent amendments. Hence Environment Clearance
is applicable to the proposed project.
Location of the Project
The proposed expansion project is located at Plot nos. 240, 241, 254, 256, 257, 258, 253, 255,
243, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 259, 260, 236, 237, 239, 242, 187, Khata No- 1&3, Bhitargarh area
of Jagatsinghpur district in Odisha State. The coordinates of site is 20°17‟24”N, 86°37‟40”E.
Capital Investment
The expected cost of the proposed project will be around Rs. 690 Crores. The capital cost for
Environmental management services (EMS) and Pollution control measures (construction and
operation phase) will be Rs.257.0 Lakhs. The annual recurring cost for EMS will be Rs. 24.0
Lakhs.
Size of the project
LPG will be imported in VLGCs at South Oil Jetty constructed by Paradip Refinery where space
for putting up Butane / Propane unloading facility is available. Imported Butane / Propane would
be transferred to LPG Import Facility through 2 nos. underground pipelines. Imported Butane and
Propane will be stored in aboveground mounded storage vessels and sent to market as LPG
after blending of Butane & Propane.
Mounded bullets for bulk Butane & Propane storage (20 Nos. x 2,000 MT) will be set up for
storage purpose and dispatched through pipeline or tank truck to various destinations by road.
Water Requirement
The source of water for the proposed project shall meet through Bore wells. Total water
requirement for the proposed expansion project will be 39.74 m3/d.
The waste water generation and management
9.45 KLD sewage will be treated in existing STP (Capacity-10.5 KLD). Wash water from Floor
washing (0.55 m3/d) will be diverted to sedimentation traps and reused. The sources of waste
water from the proposed terminal are from canteen facilities and office building. The waste water
is treated in sewage treatment plant and is reused for gardening and other activities like toilet
14
flushing and cleaning purposes. Zero discharge is proposed for the terminal project. There is no
process effluents generated. Hence impact on water quality from the proposed project is
insignificant.
Hazardous & Non-Hazardous Waste Generation & Management
Municipal solid waste will be disposed through local bodies. Spent lube oil will be sold to OSPCB
Authorized recyclers. The Management of Hazardous waste will be done as per Hazardous
Waste Management Rules 2008. Solid commercial waste from office building and biodegradable
waste from canteen will be segregated. It is proposed to use the biodegradable waste for the
gardening purpose after vermi composting.
Power requirement
Electricity shall be obtained from Paradip Refinery. HSD shall be used as a fuel for D.G sets.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
The potential impacts on different environmental components due to the construction and
operation of the proposed project has been assessed.
Impact on Air Environment
No emission is envisaged during the storage & handling of LPG in the Mounded Bullets. LPG will
be imported in VLGCs at South Oil Jetty constructed by Paradip Refinery where space for putting
up Butane / Propane unloading facility is available. Imported Butane / Propane would be
transferred to LPG Import Facility through 2 nos. underground pipelines. Imported Butane and
after blending of Butane & Propane. The proposed LPG plant will be operated in a well proven
leak proof system, thus there will no source of emissions from the storage and blending LPG
marketing terminal.
Impact on Noise Environment
The project site is likely to have increase noise level up to 80-90 dB(A) due to the construction
activity but it is likely to be insignificant, reversible and localized in nature and mainly confined to
the day hours. As the proposed Mounded Bullets shall be operated in closed circuit, it is
envisaged that noise environment would remain unaffected during operation of the proposed
facilities.
Impact on Water Environment
requirement for the proposed expansion project will be 39.74 KLD (Existing-27.74 KLD &
Proposed-12 KLD). 9.45 KLD sewage will be treated in existing STP (Capacity-10.5 KLD). Wash
17
water from Floor washing (0.55 m3/d) will be diverted to sedimentation traps and reused. The
sources of waste water from the proposed terminal are from canteen facilities and office building.
The waste water is treated in sewage treatment plant and is reused for gardening and other
activities like toilet flushing and cleaning purposes. Zero discharge is proposed for the terminal
project. The proposed activity does not envisage generation/ disposal of any hazardous or toxic
materials, which could leach down to water table. Hence, impact on the water quality and water
body is not envisaged in the proposed project.
Impact on Land Environment
The project expansion is existing plant, therefore no any settlements and hence the question of
rehabilitation and resettlement does not arise. However, due to labour influx during construction
phase some temporary settlements and dwellings will come up in the area. However, these
temporary impacts will gradually disappear on completion of the project. As the bullets will be
mounded with earth/sand and the operation will be confined in closed, leak proof system, no
impact is envisaged on the topography during operation phase.
Impact on Biological Environment
The probability and consequences of significant ecological impacts occurring as a result of the
operation of the Mounded Bullets/facility are considered to be almost negligible. The risk of any
leakage is almost negligible owing to stringent leak prevention technologies.
Municipal solid waste will be disposed through local bodies. Spent lube oil from D.G. set will be
sold to OSPCB Authorized recyclers. Hence no impact on flora and fauna is envisaged.
Moreover there are no reserve forest and protected areas within 10 km radius. Greenbelt will be
developed which will serve as ecosystem. There will be no effluent discharge in the water body.
Thus there is no impact on the aquatic biota present in vicinity of proposed project.
Impact on Socio-economic Environment
The construction of the proposed expansion project is expected to provide temporary indirect
employment to a good number of skilled and unskilled workers. The project will contribute to the
socio-economic development of the area at the local level in turn reducing migration for
employment. Hence the proposed project will have positive impact on the socio-economic
environment.
Environmental Monitoring Program
Environmental Monitoring Network is designed for construction & operation phase of the project
for monitoring of various environmental quality parameters of air, water, noise, soil etc.
Implementation Schedule of Monitoring Measures
Monitoring should be done as periodically to understand the environmental condition of the site.
The mitigation measures and EMP suggested in the EIA report should be implemented so as to
reduce the impact on environment due to the operations of the proposed project. The detailed
monitoring program is given in the EIA report.
Environmental Management Plan
Environmental Management is basically resource management and environmental planning is
similar to development planning. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared to
mitigate and manage various environmental impacts identified. The EMP presents the project
specific guidelines on:
 Environmental management strategies
18
 Specialized engineering construction procedures in relation to environmental guidelines of

the country

 To provide environmental guidelines and stipulations to the construction contractors to
minimize the impact of those activities around the proposed site.
 To provide advanced sophisticated safety system to ensure safety of the public at large.
 To establish a long term program to monitor effects of the project on the environment.
Project Benefits
The operation of the project will have benefits in the physical infrastructure, social infrastructure
and indirect employment potential in the region. It will create avenues for new opportunities for
indirect employment and can also help diversify the economy.
Improvement in Social Infrastructure
From the very initial stage of the inception of the project, infrastructure development in and
around the project site has kept in consideration. Infrastructure development will be done based
on actual requirement socio-economic development of the region. The infrastructure
development will be rolled out as part of company‟s CSR activity.

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION AND BACKGROUND

1.1. Introduction
The Indian Oil Corporation, a Central Public Sector Undertaking attached to Ministry of
Petroleum and Natural Gas, Govt. of India is planning to expand storage and handling of LPG by
setting up LPG Import Facility in the existing LPG Marketing Terminal premises based on the
international supply / Indian demand scenario of LPG & its constituents (Propane & Butane).
IOCL is the prestigious Fortune 'Global 500' listing Indian company and one of the premier PSUs
engaged in the production and marketing of its products in the country.
1.2. Project Proponent & Their Background

Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL), the largest commercial undertaking in India and a Fortune
'Global 500' company, is engaged in the business of refining, transportation and marketing of
petroleum products. As a group, IOCL owns and operates ten refineries in India with a total
capacity of over 1.3 million BPSD. It also owns and operates a wide network of crude & products
pipelines. It has its own Research & Development Centre situated at Faridabad, Haryana, near
New Delhi.
Indian Oil and its subsidiaries account for a 49% share in the petroleum products market, 31%
share in refining capacity and 67% downstream sector pipelines capacity in India. The Indian Oil
Group of companies owns and operates 10 of India's 22 refineries with a combined refining
capacity of 65.7 million metric tonnes per year. In FY 2012 IOCL sold 75.66 million tonnes of
petroleum products and reported a PBT of Rs. 37.54 billion, and the Government of India earned
an excise duty of Rs.232.53 billion and tax of INR10.68 billion.
1.3. Project and Its Importance to the Country

IOCL is has set up (in first phase) new LPG Marketing Terminal at Paradip, Odisha in order to
store and distribute LPG production of IOCL Refinery at Paradip.
In Phase-II, IOCL is planning to expand storage and handling of LPG by setting up LPG Import
Facility in the existing LPG Marketing Terminal premises based on the international supply /
Indian demand scenario of LPG & its constituents (Propane & Butane). Mounded bullets for bulk
Butane & Propane storage (20 Nos. x 2,000 MT) will be set up for storage purpose.
India is presently deficit in LPG and industry is dependent on imports to meet domestic demand.
Total LPG imports for 2011-12 and 2012-13 stood at about 5.8 MMT and 6.3 MMT respectively.
As per projections made by Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC), LPG demand is
projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during XIII Five Year Plan.
21
Year 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22
Demand in 21831 22597 23271 23868 24342 24770

TMT
Considering above demand and available indigenous supply position, the deficit of LPG for the
period 2021-22 is projected as under –
Year 2016-17 2017-18 2018-19 2019-20 2020-21 2021-22
Demand in -6635 -6961 -6955 -7262 -7503 -7772

TMT
It can be seen that deficit of LPG in the country will be increasing year after year and therefore,
sufficient LPG import infrastructure is essentially required to meet the demand. In Eastern
Region, we have only one LPG import facility at Haldia which is being stretched to almost double
the rated capacity. There is also problem of severe draft as well as jetty availability at Haldia
affecting smooth supply of LPG. It is, therefore, proposed to construct LPG Import Facility at
Paradip within the existing LPG marketing Terminal premises.
With increased availability of LPG at Paradip through imports, LPG can be moved through
upcoming Paradip-Haldia-Durgapur-Barauni-Patna-Muzaffarpur pipeline to LPG bottling plants in
West Bengal and Bihar.
1.4. Purpose and Need of EIA

The EIA is anticipated to make available for the protection, conservation and wise management
of environment through planning and informed decision making. Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) is requisite to be carried out only for those categories of projects that are
covered under EIA notification, 2006 (amended time to time) and the criteria for screening have
been provided in the Act. Thus, EIA is fundamentally made applicable to industrial and
developmental projects, which are more likely to have significant environmental impacts.
M/s. Indian Oil Corporation Limited falls in Activity 6(b), category B - Isolation Storage & handling
of Hazardous Chemicals. As per the notification, proposed project will have to obtain
Environmental Clearance from SEIAA or SEAC, govt. of Odisha.

CHAPTER 2. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1. Introduction
This chapter highlights the features of existing and proposed IOCL plant with respect to
Mounded bullets for bulk Butane & Propane storage, raw material requirement, utilities and
services, infrastructure facilities and source of waste generation, their quantity, treatment and
safe disposal of the waste.
2.2. Type of Project

The project falls under category „B‟, section 6(b) “Isolated storage & handling of hazardous
chemicals” of EIA notification 2006 and subsequent amendments. Hence Environment
Clearance is applicable to the proposed project.
2.3. Capital Investment

Total Project cost Rs.690.00 Crores. Construction will be started after the grant of
environmental clearance and consent to establish from State Pollution Control Board.
2.4. Need of the proposed project

India is presently deficit in LPG and industry is dependent on imports to meet domestic
demand. Total LPG imports for 2011-12 and 2012-13 stood at about 5.8 MMT and 6.3 MMT
respectively.
As per projections made by Petroleum Planning & Analysis Cell (PPAC), LPG demand is
projected to grow at a CAGR of 2.6% during XIII Five Year Plan.
It can be seen that deficit of LPG in the country will be increasing year after year and therefore,
sufficient LPG import infrastructure is essentially required to meet the demand. In Eastern
Region, we have only one LPG import facility at Haldia which is being stretched to almost
double the rated capacity. There is also problem of severe draft as well as jetty availability at
Haldia affecting smooth supply of LPG. It is, therefore, proposed to construct LPG Import
Facility at Paradip within the existing LPG marketing Terminal premises.
for putting up Butane / Propane unloading facility is available. Imported Butane / Propane
would be transferred to LPG Import Facility through 2 nos. underground pipelines. Imported
Butane and Propane will be stored in aboveground mounded storage vessels and sent to
market as LPG after blending of Butane & Propane.
2.5. Purpose of the Study

M/s. Indian Oil Corporation Limited is planning to expand storage and handling of LPG by
setting up LPG Import Facility in the existing LPG Marketing Terminal premises based on the
international supply / Indian demand scenario of LPG & its constituents (Propane & Butane).
storage purpose to meet the state‟s needs. The site is well connected by road and railways.
The site is near to state highway NH-5A (1.7 km) and nearest railway station (2 Km).

3.3. Geology
Jagatsinghpur district is one of the thickly populated coastal districts of Orissa in the eastern
part underlain by alluvial deposits that resulted fertile agricultural land. Agriculture is the
mainstay of the people and economy of the district is mainly based on agricultural production. It
is bounded in north by Kendrapara district, in the north and northwest by Cuttack district and
Puri district in the south west and in the east by the Bay of Bengal.
The river Mahanadi flowing from west to east and forming the northern boundary of the district
forms the main drainage system in the district. Besides the river Devi, a tributary to Kathajori
and flowing north-northwest to south-southeast with a meandering course also forms a
drainage system in the district.
The district enjoys irrigation facilities through major, medium, and lift irrigation projects. The
major irrigation projects in the district are Taladanda and Machgaon canal irrigation system fed
from the Mahanadi River at Jobra point near Cuttack. During kharif total irrigated area from all
sources is only 66529 hectares against average net sown area of 94445 hectares in 2004-05.
During Ravi season total area irrigated is around 31017 hectares.

3.4. Topography
The district comprises two distinct tracts, the first being marshy and swampy strips along with
the coast covered with wild growth of reeds and tropical jungle. The second tract covers fertile
plain land. The soil is of alluvial type. Mahanadi,Kathajodi, Devi, Biluakhai are the main rivers
of the district. These rivers and two main canals Taladanda and Machhagaon are irrigating the
district.

3.5. Ground water Scenario

In Jagatsinghpur district, the ground water occurs in the inter-granular pore spaces. Sand and
gravel layers act as repository of ground water. Ground water occurs under unconfined
condition in the shallow aquifer zone and perched water table condition within sand dunes
underlain by clay beds. The ground water is also found under semi-confined condition in the
deeper aquifer zones. The coastal tract held promise for large-scale development for ground
water. But the coastal tract is beset quite often with salinity problems both in shallow as well as
in deeper aquifers.
3.6. Geomorphology and Soil Types

Physiographically the district can broadly divide into two distinct units, viz.
i. The saline marshy tract along the coast
ii. The very gently sloping plain
The saline marshy tract forms a long and narrow strip along the coast. The width of this tract
varies from 3 to 15 km and is intersected by tidal streams and shrubby vegetation. Sand dunes
of varied relief extend continuously for kilometers parallel to the coast. These sand dunes
usually forming 5 to 6 chains are gently sloping on the bay side and steeply sloping on the
inland side, due to their Aeolian origin. The gently sloping alluvial plain occurs to the west of
the saline marshy tract and forms the most fertile part of the district. The general slope of this
tract is towards east and southeast and varies from 0.50 to 1.60 m/km.
The distribution of different soil types in the district depends much on its physiographic and
lithologic variations. Based on the physical and chemical characteristics, mode of origin and
occurrence, soils of the district may be classified into three groups namely Alfisols, Aridisols
and Entisols.
i. Alfisols: This includes deltaic alluvial soils and this type of soils occupies nearly 90% of the
entire district area. The deltaic alluvial soils are generally deficient in phosphate (P2O5) and
nitrogen (N). Both the total and available potassium are fairly adequate and PH varies between
7.38 and 8.16.
ii. Aridisols: These are saline and saline alkali soils and occur in small pockets in the north
eastern and south eastern corner of the district near coast. These are rich in calcium,
magnesium and also consist of half decomposed organic matter.
iii. Entisols: This includes coastal sandy soils and occurs as narrow elongated ridge along the
coast line. The soils are deficient in nitrogen, phosphoric acid and humus, but not in potash and
lime.
3.7. Forest:
The district has a meagre forest area. The total forest area of the district is estimated to be
132.92 Sq. Kms. Out of the total forest area, the reserve forest area is only 1.23 sq. Km and
demarcated protected forest area is 4.77 sq. kms. Un-demarcated forest area is 83.06 sq. km.
unclassified forest area is 0.02 sq. km. and other forest area is 43.84 sq. kms. The major forest
products of the district are mango, sopeta, kendu leaves, sal leaves and t amarind. Important
minor forest produces are sunari barks, arjuna barks, karanja seeds, neem seeds, mushroom,
sal leaves etc.
57
3.8. Seismicity
Study area falls in Zone III in seismic zoning map of India, which is classified as “moderate
damage risk zone”.
3.9. Land use
The basic purpose of land use pattern and classification in an EIA study is to identify the
manner in which different parts of land in an area are being utilized or not utilized. Remote
sensing data provides reliable accurate baseline information for land use mapping, as it is a
rapid method of acquiring up-to-date information of over a large geological area.
A systematic digital image interpretation approach was used to delineate the land use classes.
The present study was focused on demarcating boundaries of different land use/land cover
units from an analysis of different types of colour registrations of land use/land cover units from
satellite imagery. Data Used in the land use map preparation is the satellite Imagery of Indian
Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS- ID , sensor P6, LISS III) of 24 m resolution. Land use / land
cover map of 10 km study area has been show in Figure 3.2.

3.11. Air Environment

Reconnaissance:
The quality of ambient air depends upon the background concentrations of specific
contaminants, the emission sources and meteorological conditions. The study on baseline
ambient air quality status in the project area is an essential and primary requirement for
assessing the impacts on air environment due to any proposed developmental activity.
The baseline studies on air environment include identification of specific air pollution
parameters expected to have significant impacts and assessing their existing levels in ambient
air within the impact zone. To assess the baseline status of ambient air quality in the study
area monitoring is undertaken to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air.
61
Methodology for air Monitoring:

AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored on 24 hourly average bases twice
in a week as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. The conventional and project specific
parameters such as particulate matter PM10 (size less than 10 µm), particulate matter PM2.5
(size less than 2.5µm), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) were monitored.
Selection of Stations for Sampling:

Depending upon the purpose of the study IS: 5184 (part XIV) lays down various criteria for
selection of sampling stations. For EIA/ EMP, the purpose is to ascertain the baseline pollutant
concentrations in ambient air. Accordingly, the criterion can be selected to ascertain quality of
air on human settlements or environmentally sensitive areas if any located in the 10 km radius
study area.
The locations for AAQM study were selected within the 10 km radius of the proposed plant
installation. Ambient air quality was monitored on 7 locations to generate representative
ambient air quality data. The sampling locations are shown in Table 3.4.
The summary of Ambient Air quality monitoring results is presented in Table 3.5.

3.12. Water Environment

3.12.1. Reconnaissance Survey
Reconnaissance survey has been done for water quality monitoring in the Study Area. The
baseline water quality of ground water / surface water in the region is obtained by collecting
sample from villages in the area considering the 10 km radius for the baseline study.
3.12.2. Methodology of Monitoring
In order to establish the baseline water quality, ground water and surface water sampling
locations were selected based on availability, following standard norms and requirement.
Ground water samples were collected from the identified hand pumps and bore wells for the
characterization of water quality. Selection of surface water sampling locations has been
considered as per the utilization pattern of the villagers for domestic purposes.
The samples collected were preserved, stored and analyzed as per standards methods of
Analysis of Water and Waste water (APHA, 1995). The methodology for water analysis is listed
below in Table: 3.7 & 3.8.

3.13. Noise Environment

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and hearing. If intense
enough, it can damage hearing, or is otherwise irritating. The definition of noise as unwanted
sound implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can
also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.
The objective of the noise pollution survey in the study area was to identify existing noise
sources and to measure background noise levels. The collection of baseline noise environment
data included following steps:
Reconnaissance
In order to measure the existing noise sources and to identify the background noise levels, the
noise pollution survey around the proposed site was carried out. The collection of baseline
noise environment data included Identification of noise sources and to measure background
noise levels and Measurement of noise levels due to transportation and other local activity.
Methodology for Noise Monitoring
Noise standards have been designated as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation & Control)
Rules, 2000 Notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi, February 14, 2000.
The ambient noise standards are presented in Equivalent noise levels (Leq.) have been
measured twice a week during study period. The measurements were carried out at each
monitoring location during day time and night time.
To understand the noise environment around the proposed plant, a noise survey was
conducted using Sound Level Meter. Noise measurements were carried out at the same
locations where ambient air quality was monitored.
Noise Monitoring Locations
A total of 6 locations were identified for ambient noise monitoring in the study area. The noise
monitoring locations are shown in Table 3.11.

3.15. Biological Environment

Ecological survey is aimed to assess the existing flora and fauna components in the study
area. Considering the rich bio-diversity of organisms and their role in productivity and their
importance in human livelihood, it is vital to project and safeguard this dynamic ecosystem.
Flora & Fauna
Study of flora & fauna is another important aspect of Environmental Impact Assessment study
of any project. Ecological system show complex inter relationships between biotic and abiotic
components including dependence, competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprises
of both plant and animal communities which interact not only within and between themselves
but also with the abiotic components which is physical and chemical components of the
environment. Generally, biological communities are the good indicators of various factors like
climate, extent of pollution as well environmental degradation. Biological communities are
dependent on the environmental conditions and resources of its location. It may change if there
is any change in the environment. A number of variables like temperature, humidity, rainfall,
soil characteristics, topography, etc., are responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of the
environment. A change in any of these variables may lead to stress in the surrounding eco
system. The animal and plant communities exist in their natural habitats in a well organized
manner. Their natural settings can be disturbed by any externally induced anthropological
activities or by naturally induced calamities or disaster. So, once this setting is disturbed, it
becomes practically impossible or takes a longer time to come to its original state. Plants and
animals are more susceptible to environmental stress. A change in the composition of biotic
communities is reflected by a change in the distribution pattern, density, diversity, frequency,
dominance and abundance of natural species of flora and fauna existing in the ecosystem.
These changes over a span of time can be quantified and related to the existing environmental
factors. Baseline data covering both flora and fauna comprising the terrestrial ecology were
compiled using both the available official reports and published literature, supplemented by
extensive field study. Field observation on vegetation characteristics is made using quadrate
82
method. The fauna was listed and its relative abundance determined while at the same time
steps taken to identify any rare and endangered species in the area by the help of government
offices and local people. The geographical area of the state is 155707 sq. kilometer of which
57184 sq. km is recorded as forest as per state forest report, 1997 of FSI. Geographical area of
the district Jagatsinghpur is 1759 Sq. Kms covering forest area of 132.92 Sq. Kms. Study area
covers 10 kms from the PPL Township area. Dominant mangroves species in the study area
are Acanthus ilicifolius, Rhizophora mucronata, R. Conjugata, Brugueria gymnorhiza,
Excoecaria agallocha, E. marina, Avicennia spp., Sonneritia apitulata, etc., Ground vegetation
cover shows dominant presence of Suaeda nudiflora. List of medicinal plants is given in Table
No. – 3.17. Just as wild flora needs special treatment for preservation and growth, wild fauna
as well deserves specific conservatory pursuits for posterity. Unfortunately, our past efforts had
been unscientific in rearing and preserving our valuable heritage resulting in dwindling of many
interesting species, which the nature had bestowed on us. The broad spectrum of colorful
fauna is fading and the same species are facing extinction. Environmental changes through
deforestation, spreading urbanization and destruction of habitats have been of alarmingly high
magnitude during the recent past, which has totally disturbed the balance between mortality
and reproduction. Some threatened faunal forms are biologically handicapped through an
imbibed low rate of reproduction by nature.

CHAPTER 4. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1. Introduction
Prediction of environmental impacts is an important part of impact assessment study as it
provides quantitative as well as qualitative information related to projection of possible
environmental consequences from the proposed project well in advance. Several mathematical
/ statistical techniques and methodologies are available for prediction & evaluation of impacts
due to proposed projects on physical, chemical, biological and socio- economic components of
environment. The results obtained from the predictions are to be superimposed over the
baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project)
scenario of environmental quality within the impact zone (10 km radius) around site.
This chapter presents identification and appraisal of the likely impacts due to installation of
proposed Mounded Bullets for bulk Butane & Propane storage (20 Nos. x 2,000 MT). The
Proposed Expansion of LPG Marketing Terminal is located at Plot nos. 240, 241, 254, 256,
257, 258, 253, 255, 243, 245, 246, 247, 248, 249, 259, 260, 236, 237, 239, 242, 187, Khata
No- 1&3, Bhitargarh area of Jagatsinghpur district in Odisha State. The construction and
operational phase of the proposed project comprises various activities each of which may have
an impact on environmental parameters. Various impacts during the construction and operation
phase on the environment have been studied to estimate the impact on the environmental
attributes and are discussed in the subsequent section. The probable impacts of each of these
activities on various sectors of environment have been mentioned below in two headings:
 Construction Phase
 Operation Phase
4.2. Impact during Construction Phase

The impact during construction will be localized and short term with permanent changes in
profile of the project site as compared to the current conditions. Impact will be primarily related
to the civil works and less intensive impact is expected during erection of the equipment and
trial operation. Except for change in land use all other environment impacts will be temporary in
nature.
4.2.1. Impact on Topography and Land-use

The installation activities include excavation of soil from the proposed site.
The excavated loose soil will be utilized for leveling of low lying areas inside the plant. Thus,
the impact on topography during construction phase is insignificant. About 52.7 Acres of land is
already available for LPG Marketing Terminal. Land required for LPG Import Facility project
has already been earmarked. The land has been taken from Paradip Port Trust on long term
lease. Project area is low lying non-agricultural barren land, which was filled up approx. 3.0 m
during construction of LPG Marketing Terminal. The present project site is level land. The
earthwork and storage of constructions material may temporarily affect the topsoil in terms of
100
erosion as well as amendment of soil. Transport of construction material would lead to an

increase in traffic flux. However, these temporary impacts will gradually disappear on
completion of the project.
Mitigation Measures: Water sprinkling will be regularly carried in order to arrest the fugitive
dust to the maximum extent possible. All construction equipment will be maintained properly.
Only “PUC” certified vehicles of contractor will be deployed at site. The green belt will reduce
fugitive emissions in the environment.
4.2.2. Impact on Noise Environment

The project site is likely to have increase noise level up to 80-90 dB(A) due to the
constructional activity, the movement of heavy motor vehicles, loading and unloading, handling
of equipments and materials, construction equipments like dozer, scrapers, concrete mixer,
crane, generators pumps and compressor, etc. The nature of impact is short term and
reversible.
During Construction Phase, potential noise emissions will be mainly from:
Diesel Generators: 65 - 70 dB(A)
Heavy Duty Construction equipment: 75 to 90 dB(A)
Vehicular Noise: 70 dB(A) (at the edge from the centerline of the road)
Mitigation Measures:
To minimize the impact, construction schedules would be optimized to day time working and
the night activities will be scaled down. Extensive earthmoving and movement of heavy
equipments would be conducted only during the regular working hours in day time. Noise and
vibration impacts at construction sites will be minimized by:
 Fitting mufflers to vehicles and construction equipments. Adequate personal protective

equipment like ear plugs and ear muffs will be provided to the plant workers to reduce
the effect of noise.
 Diesel Generator sets will be provided with acoustic enclosures.
 Project site periphery will be shielded.
 Noise generating machinery exceeding noise standards will not be used. Green belt will
be developed around the periphery of project site.
Overall, the impact of generated noise on the environment during construction period is likely to
be insignificant, reversible and localized in nature and mainly confined to the day hours.
4.2.3. Impact on Drainage

The natural drainage channel passing through our project site is clear of any obstruction. The
same will be futher strengthened with side pitching to prevent soil erosion and its natural
course shall Only surface runoffs are likely in monsoon which will be channelized to natural
streams. Natural drainage pattern will not be affected as construction activity will be done
inside the proposed project periphery. Thus there will be no impact on drainage pattern.
101
4.2.4. Impact on Water Environment

Water requirement will be met by bore wells as water consumption is very low. It is expected
that most of the construction workers may be hired from the nearby areas in the vicinity of the
project site. No migration of workers is envisaged for this project. Since, only local workers
would be engaged for the project, sanitation facility will be provided for the workers working
during the construction phase. Also the water requirement during the construction phase will be
very minimal so the overall impact on water environment due to construction of proposed
project is likely to be temporary, short term and insignificant.
4.2.5. Impact on Soil Environment

To keep the damage to top soil minimum excavators shall be used for construction. The
excavated material such as top soil and stone shall be stacked at safe places for reuse at a
later stage of construction. To prevent soil erosion during construction phase temporary
seeding sedimentation basins contour trenching mulching etc. can be done based on the net
imperviousness by the site and it should not exceed the imperviousness factory as prescribed
by the national Building Code, 2005. Preserving existing vegetation or re-vegetation disturbed
soils is one of the most effective ways to control soil erosion. During dry weather, control of the
dust nuisance created by excavation and transportation activities shall be carried out by water
sprinkling.
4.2.6. Impact on Biological Environment

Development of Green belt all around the project will be started along with the construction
activities to control the dust and noise due to construction activities within plant boundary.
Therefore, no impact on the biological environment is envisaged.
4.2.7. Impact on Socio-Economic Environment

The manpower will be required during the construction phase. The required manpower would
be engaged locally to the extent possible. In addition to the opportunity of getting employment
as construction laborers, the local population would also have employment opportunities in
related service activities like commercial establishments, small contracts/subcontracts and
supply of construction materials for buildings and ancillary infrastructures etc. There will be
positive impact for the local workforce during construction phase of the project.
4.2.8. Traffic Volume

There will be slight increase in road traffic. The site has good road connectivity. Traffic volume
on nearby roads will increase due to movement of medium and heavy vehicles considering the
overall size and nature of the Project, the increase in traffic will not have any significant effect.
A traffic management plan for the area will be developed to ease the situation. The following
arrangement would be made to ease the situation.
Mitigation Measures:
 The roads will be strengthened, if required, for transportation of material, goods etc.
 Drivers of trucks / dumpers engaged in construction work will be instructed to give way
to passenger buses, cars etc.
102
 Transport of construction materials and machineries will be carried out during lean
traffic period of the day or during night.
4.2.9. Impact due to Solid/Hazardous Waste Solid Waste

Generation of solid waste in the form of excavated earth is envisaged during the construction
period. There will be temporary piling of excavated earth and shall be utilized for leveling of the
low lying area in the plant. During construction of Mounded Bullets for bulk Butane & Propane
storage (20 Nos. x 2,000 MT), some solid materials are expected to be generated. The gas
cylinders used for welding shall be returned back to the supplier. Cement bags, plastic buckets,
coal tar drums, damaged tools and other containers are used during construction and
discarded as solid wastes.
Hazardous Waste
The hazardous materials used during the construction may include diesel, welding gas and
paints, etc. These have to be disposed carefully.
4.3. Impact during Operation Phase

The impact during the operation phase will be continuous in nature. However whatever impact
on environment is present will be minimized through effective mitigation measures.
4.3.1. Impact on Topography and Land-use

As the bullets will be mounded with earth/sand and the operation will be confined in closed,
leak proof system, no impact is envisaged on the topography during operation phase.
4.3.2. Impact on Air Quality & Fugitive Emission

No emission is envisaged during the storage & handling of LPG in the Mounded Bullets. LPG
will be imported in VLGCs at South Oil Jetty constructed by Paradip Refinery where space for
putting up Butane / Propane unloading facility is available. Imported Butane / Propane would
be transferred to LPG Import Facility through 2 nos. underground pipelines. Imported Butane
and Propane will be stored in aboveground mounded storage vessels and sent to market as
LPG after blending of Butane & Propane. The proposed LPG plant will be operated in a well
proven leak proof system, thus there will no source of emissions from the storage and blending
LPG marketing terminal. LPG vessel is not designed for full vacuum, some alternatives, in
order of preference, are as follows:
a. Design for partial vacuum condition. This alternative is applicable when the vacuum
conditions caused by ambient temperature conditions. The design pressure shall be equal to
the vapor pressure of the product at the ambient temperature. In this situation, no additional
protection against vacuum is needed.
b. Design for partial vacuum with a vacuum relief valve and a connection to a reliable supply of
hydrocarbon gas. This alternative may compromise product quality.
c. Design for partial vacuum with a vacuum relief valve that admits air to the vessel. This
alternative, under some conditions, may present a hazard from the presence of air in the LPG
103
storage vessel, and this hazard shall be considered in the design. LPG Vessels shall meet the
requirements of the ASME Boiler and Pressure Vessel Code, Section VIII, Division I or 2.
The air environment may have a little negative impact due to increase of vehicles and DG set.
The proposed DG sets are standby in nature and will be operated only when power failure from
Central electricity supply utility of Orissa (CESU).
There are 2 Stacks existing and one proposed, designed as per CPCB guidelines for the
exhaust gases to dissipate in the air. Hence adverse impact is not envisaged from DG sets.
The trucks that come into the terminal are also provided with spark arrestors. In total about 89
tank trucks a day is expected to move in and out of the unit. The Vehicles will be regularly
checked for emission levels and hence emission from the exhausts of the vehicles will have
least effect on the atmosphere.
4.3.3. Impact on Water Environment

Proposed-12 KLD). 9.45 KLD sewage will be treated in existing STP (Capacity-10.5 KLD).
Wash water from Floor washing (0.55 m3/d) will be diverted to sedimentation traps and reused.
The sources of waste water from the proposed terminal are from canteen facilities and office
building. The waste water is treated in sewage treatment plant and is reused for gardening and
other activities like toilet flushing and cleaning purposes. Zero discharge is proposed for the
terminal project. The proposed activity does not envisage generation/ disposal of any
hazardous or toxic materials, which could leach down to water table. Hence, impact on the
water quality and water body is not envisaged in the proposed project.
4.3.4. Impact due to Solid Waste

Municipal solid waste will be disposed through local bodies. Spent lube oil from D.G. set will be
sold to OSPCB Authorized recyclers.
4.3.5. Impact on Noise Levels

As the proposed Mounded Bullets shall be operated in closed circuit, it is envisaged that noise
environment would remain unaffected during operation of the proposed facilities.
4.3.6. Impact on Biological Environment

Terrestrial Ecology
The probability and consequences of significant ecological impacts occurring as a result of the
operation of the Mounded Bullets/facility are considered to be almost negligible. The risk of any
leakage is almost negligible owing to stringent leak prevention technologies.
Aquatic Ecology
There will be no effluent discharge in the water body. Thus there is no impact on the aquatic
biota present in vicinity of proposed project.
104
4.3.7. Impact on Socio-economic Environment

The positive impacts of the proposed plant would begin to be felt with the start up of the
operational activities.
 There will be more in-direct employment generation as a result in proposed expansion

project.
 The migration for employment is likely to reduce due to better economic opportunities.
 There will be socio-economic development.
 Increase in in-direct employment due to large flow of financial and material resources
through increased business, trade commerce and service sector.
4.4. Action Plan for Green Belt Development
Green Belt will be developed in 73 212.26 sq m area of the total plot area. The main objective
of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant and the surrounding areas.
4.5. Conclusion
Impact Statement
The impact on socio-economic status of the project would be predominantly positive, if the
proper implementations of the measures suggested in the EMP are made.
Overall Impact:
The overall impact of the proposed project is beneficial as the impact on the air, noise, water,
land and biological environments are not very significant and the socioeconomic benefits are
predominantly positive.
105
CHAPTER 5. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME

5.1. Prelude
Environmental Monitoring describe the processes and activities that need to take place to
characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental Monitoring is used in
the preparation of the environmental impact assessment, as well as in many circumstances in
which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring
strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish
the current status of an environment and prediction of the impact of future development and/ or
alteration in the operation and design of existing installation. Environmental Monitoring Network
is operation phase of the project for monitoring of various Environmental parameters like air,
water, Noise, soil, etc.
Environmental Monitoring Program will be as per requirement after the proposed new plant.
5.2. Implementation Schedule of Monitoring Measures

Monitoring should be done as periodically to understand the environmental condition of the
site. In order to facilitate easy implementation, mitigation measures are phased as per the
priority implementation. The priority of the implementation schedule is given in Table-5.1.

5.3. Environmental Monitoring

Environmental Monitoring should be carried out during construction and operation phase of the
project.
5.3.1. Monitoring and Reporting Procedure

Regular monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters is of immense
importance to assess the status of the environment during construction & operational phase.
With the knowledge of baseline condition, the monitoring program can serve as an indicator for
any deterioration in environmental conditions due to operational phase and suitable mitigation
steps could be taken in time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is as important as that of
control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by
monitoring. The proposed monitoring program gives below:
5.3.2. Air Pollution and Meteorological Aspects

Ambient air quality will be monitored. The ambient air quality with respect to NOx, SO2,
suspended particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) will be monitored in at least 5-6 location in
and around the project site through a reputed environmental laboratory recognized by
MoEF/NABL. Monitoring will be carried out for a period of 24 hours, every month during
construction phase and quarterly in operation phase. Emission from the DG sets maintained &
monitored according to standard & used only in power failure condition.
5.3.3. Water and Waste Water Quality

Ground water monitoring locations will be identified and periodically check the Physical,
chemical as well as biological parameter as per drinking water standard IS: 10500.
5.3.4. Noise Levels

Monitoring of the noise level is essential to assess the effectiveness of Environmental
Management Plan implemented to reduce noise levels. A good quality sound level meter and
noise exposure meter may be procured for the same.
Audiometric tests shall be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high
noise sources.
5.4. Cost Provision for Environmental Measures

For environment protection and management and pollution control and treatment and
monitoring systems, appropriate budgetary provision would be made and provision for
recurring expenditure for environment management of the project would be made. The details
of budget allocation during construction phase and operation phase are given in Table-5.3.
107
5.4.1. Cost Estimates

An effective Environmental Monitoring Plan (EMP) is proposed during the construction phase
and operational phase of the project to conserve the environment at site. The details of EMP

CHAPTER 6. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1. Introduction
Environmental Management is basically resource management and environmental planning is
similar to development planning. The conventional resource management and development
planning look at the issues from narrow micro-economical point of view while environmental
management views the issues from the broader prospective of long term sustainable
development option, which ensures that the environment is not desecrated. An Environmental
Management Plan is prepared for construction phase, post construction phase (commissioning
and operation) and for post project phase. The environmental management plan is prepared to
minimize the impact of atmospheric emissions, liquid effluents, solid wastes & noise generation
on the surrounding environment.
The baseline settings of different relevant environmental components in the study area are
analyzed and potential impacts on those components due to the proposed project are
documented. The impacts on environment are found to be minimal during the study; however
additional measures are documented for both construction and operation stages for further
improvement of Environmental Quality in the form of an Environmental Management Plan
(EMP).
6.2. Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)

It is of utmost concern for a company to conduct its business in a manner that will promote the
protection of the occupational Health & Safety; Welfare of its employees and others involved in
or affected by its business operations and address the environmental concerns regarding
sustainable development.
To be a responsive and responsible corporate citizen, we shall strive to achieve an

organizational culture of Safety, Health and Environmental excellence.
As an integral part of the company‟s business performance, the company shall declare full
commitment to achieve high levels of performance in Health, Safety and Environment.
Continual improvements in Safety, Health and Environment shall be recognized as essential for
the future success of the company.
6.3. Environmental Objectives

While developing an EMP within the framework of an EMS, it is imperative to have clear
environmental objectives and delineate them. The key environmental management objectives
for this project are to avoid significant adverse environmental impacts and to ensure that where
impacts do occur they are mitigated. In addition, the project proponent aims to meet the
following specific objectives.
 To adopt construction and operational methods that will limit environmental

degradation.
 To protect physical environmental components such as air, water and soil.
 To conserve terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna.
110
 To protect historic and cultural sites.

 To incorporate the views and perceptions of the local inhabitants in the project.
 To generate employment opportunities wherever possible and feasible.
 To provide environmental guidelines and stipulations to the construction contractors to
minimize the impact of those activities around the proposed site.
 To provide advanced sophisticated safety system to ensure safety of the public at large.
 To establish a long term program to monitor effects of the project on the environment.
6.4. Implementation
The various players responsible for execution of the EMP and associated monitoring and
inspection and their designated levels of responsibilities are delineated below:
The Project Proponent will be responsible for providing all the necessary funding and
administrative support to the EMP and be ultimately responsible for carrying out this project
with total commitment to environmental matters.
The Management Representative (MR), working on behalf of the project proponent, will be
responsible for coordinating the activities of a technical staff, responsible for monitoring and
managing compliance of the EMP. The responsibilities include technical, community and
administrative matters related to the EMP, including liaison with the general public in the
project area, other parties and regulatory bodies on environmental issues related to the project.
This person will also keep the local communities informed of the environmental compliance of
the project and properly address any issues of their concern.
The EHS Representative with the help of the technical staff, will be responsible for monitoring
the compliance of the EMP (for which they will be given adequate training) and must report to
Management Representative (MR).
The Construction Contractor will be responsible for ensuring full compliance with environmental
matters related to construction activities, as laid down in the EMP. The construction contractor
will ensure that all his workers are properly briefed in environmental matters in terms of Do‟s
and Don‟ts while they work on the project. The cost towards implementation of EMP is the part
of the bidding document so that the related costs are included in the contract.
6.5. EMP for Construction Phase

Environmental impacts during the construction phase can be attributed to the site preparation,
excavation of trenches, erection & mechanical fabrication, construction activities, transportation
etc. and provision of civic amenities to the construction workforce. The potential for
environmental impact during construction phase on most of the environmental components are
temporary, and the environment returns back to its previous status on completion of the
construction. State of the art technology will be adopted for control of pollution during project
execution phase, whenever and wherever applicable.
All construction activities generally cause disruptions to the pre project environmental quality.
The following environmental protection measures should be incorporated as part of terms and
conditions of contract for implementation by the contractor or the authority as appropriate.
Recommendations made to minimize impacts during construction phase are delineated below:
111
Basic Engineering Control Measures

The primary aim of the environment management plan is to eliminate environmental impacts
during designing wherever possible or minimize the risks through best engineering controls.
The measures that can be integrated into design, construction and operation for proposed
expansion project can be broadly defined as:
 Reducing possibility of leakage that could result in losses.
 Surveillance to ensure that, in the highly unlikely event that a loss should occur, it would
be quickly detected.
 Developing effective response plans to contain any losses and to prevent damage
resulting from any damage.
 Incorporate drainage and minimize disturbance to natural drainage pattern, engineer
slopes and drainages to minimize erosion.
Tank leakage, rupture
 Proper design, fabrication and installation of tanks.

 Optimum thickness of tank material with high grade steel.
 PUF Insulation system to arrest heat radiation.
 Operational philosophy for regular maintenance and monitoring line to check for any
internal or external faults.
Loss Detection
 Electronic alarms to detect breakages.

 Additional monitoring through special patrols will take place.
 A year-round monitoring program to check for presence of any contamination in soil,
groundwater and nearby surface water bodies.
 Conducting increased community awareness programs to assist in reporting of any
issues.
Loss Containment
 In the event of a leak being detected the operational control to immediately shut down
or cut-off the tank from operation where it occurs.
 Development of a comprehensive emergency response plan or handling leaks, fire etc.
as well as natural calamities like landslides, earthquakes etc.
 The emergency response personnel with appropriately trained and emergency control
equipment for fire will be strategically located along the pipeline.
 The environmental pollution during construction phase is purely temporary and
localized except permanent change in local land-use and landscape at the proposed
storage tanks. Environmental pollution in construction phase will be mainly due to site
preparation, civil works, transportation, storage and handling of different kinds of
materials including flammable / hazardous materials, construction worker‟s sanitation
etc. The environmental impacts during construction period are considerably less and of
shorter duration. However, they require due consideration and importance during
project execution, and also wherever applicable detailed protocol / procedures shall be
implemented to prevent / mitigate adverse impacts / occupational hazards.
112
Management of Air Environment

The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has set standards with regard to the ambient air
quality levels and emission levels. The particulate matter, PM10 (size ≤10 µm) levels in
Industrial, residential and rural area not to exceed 100 µg/m3. The standard for industrial areas
is 100 µg/m3. The vehicular emission standards for Heavy diesel driven vehicles as per Bharat
stage-III for
Hydrocarbons: 1.6 g/km hr; Carbon Monoxide: 2.1 g/km hr and Oxides of Nitrogen: 5 g/km hr
and PM: 0.1 g/Km/hr. These standards will have been met. (http://www.cpcb.nic.in/Vehicular
Exhaust.php).
Environmental pollution during construction phase will be mainly due to the activities involving
site preparation and construction. Preparation of site will involve movement of substantial
quantity of soil to fill the land. During dry weather conditions, it is necessary to control the dust
pollution created by leveling, grading and transportation activity.
Materials required for earth filling should be collected from the site. The transportation routes
should be selected such that movement of trucks through inhabited villages is reduced. It
should be ensured that construction vehicles are properly maintained to minimize smoke in
exhaust emissions. The vehicle maintenance area should be located in such a way that
contamination of surface soil/water by accidental spillage of oil/diesel will not take place and
dumping of waste oil should be strictly prohibited.
One or more of the following measures may be implemented to minimize impacts on air quality
during construction and operation of the project.
 Face masks should be provided to prevent inhalations of dust particle.

 It will be ensured that all the vehicles deployed for the project possess Pollution under
Control (PUC) Certificate.
 All vehicles will be properly maintained to minimize emissions of contaminants, for this
necessary measure will be taken.
 A schedule for the operation of vehicles will be established to minimize to the extent
practicable, the time of operation of emission sources.
 Water should be sprayed by high pressure water hoses during dust generating
construction activities e.g. excavation, crushing/demolishing, concrete mixing, material
handling etc. to suppress dust.
 Wetting (sweeping or sprinkling) will be used, wherever practicable, to minimize dust
dispersion.
 As far as possible unleaded and Sulphur free petrol will be used for petrol driven
vehicles.
 Construction work should not be carried out during storm conditions.
Management of Water Environment
 Construction equipment requiring minimum water for cooling and operation for optimum
effectiveness will be chosen.
 Steam curing of concrete will be done wherever possible.
 High pressure hose will be used for cleaning and dust suppression purpose.
113
 Drip and sprinkler system will be provided for spraying water in green belt.
Surface water quality
 Rainy season will be avoided for cutting and filling of earth work.
 Soil binding and fast growing plants should be grown around the construction site
before commencement of construction activity to reduce soil erosion.
 Temporary drainage channels should be provided for collection of water
 Water used in washing and flushing pipelines should be discharged into storm water
drains or natural drains after settling.
 Adopting prudent soil erosion control measures to prevent water pollution.
Ground water quality
 No discharge of construction wastes to ground water bodies will be allowed during

construction.
 Wells and bores (if made) should be covered properly to avoid contamination.
 Water logging should be avoided by providing drainage system.
Management of Noise Environment
The Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) has set standards for ambient noise levels in
various activity zones. For industrial areas the daytime noise levels are not to exceed 75 dB (A)
and the night time levels 70 dB (A). In case of residential areas, the day and night standards
are 55 db and 45 dB (A) respectively. Suitable conditions will be incorporated in the
construction contract agreement, to ensure compliance of these standards.
The following measures may be adopted to minimize the impact of noise during construction
phase of the project:
 Construction equipment generating minimum noise and vibration will be chosen.

 Ear plugs and/muffs will be provided to construction workers working near the noise
generating activities / machines / equipment.
 Vehicles and construction equipment with internal combustion engines without proper
silencer will not be allowed to operate.
 Construction equipment meeting the norms specified by EP Act, 1986 will only be used.
 Noise control equipment and baffling will be employed on generators especially when
they are operated near the residential and sensitive areas.
 Noise levels will be reduced by the use of adequate mufflers on all motorized
equipment.
Management of Soil / Land Environment

Following measures will be taken to minimize impact on land environment and improve soil
conditions.
Earth / Construction Debris
114
 Excavated earth will be backfilled in the trench after foundation work and top soil will be
restored for the agricultural/ gardening purpose. The remaining excavated material will
be disposed off or spread out in low laying area.
 Precautions should be taken to minimize damage to native plants (if any) on the
periphery of construction area.
 The natural gradient of the area should be maintained after reinstatement to avoid
water logging.
 The construction debris shall be utilized within the site for levelling purpose and base
course preparation of internal roads.
 The materials like steel and other recyclable material shall be segregated and reused or
sold to authorize vendors for reuse.
Topsoil Segregation
Where topsoil is present, it is required to be segregated. Estimated Excavation quantity would
be around. The same would be used within the premises for filling, leveling etc. Top soil of the
site will be collected at site and reused for landscaping. Debris generated will be used for
leveling. The following practices, as regard to top soil segregation will be adhered during
trenching:
 Existing topsoil which is removed during construction should be stockpiled temporarily
for replacement whenever required.
 Topsoil and sub-soil will be segregated during trenching and stockpiled separately.
 Topsoil should be removed to its actual depth or to a maximum of 30 cm as determined
by HSE representative for the spread.
 Topsoil shall not be used for padding, backfill or trench breakers, under any
circumstances.
 Topsoil shall be stored on the non-traffic side of the trench.
 Topsoil shall not be used as fill for the trench.
Management of Solid Waste

Construction activities can lead to solid waste generation including sand, gravel, stone, plastic,
paper, wood, metal, glass, waste concrete, excavated soil, broken bricks, waste plaster,
metallic scrap etc. Solid waste from domestic use like papers, card boards, cans, bottles, food
waste etc will be generated from the site laborers. This will be segregated into biodegradable
and non- biodegradable, shall be handed over to authorized vendor. No trash or debris from
construction activities should be left at project site after construction is completed. The
construction debris as well as debris generated due to demolition shall include Concrete; Brick
Bat Debris etc. shall be further used for leveling of low lying areas or in preparation of sub-
surfaces for roads or pavements.
Management of Socio-Economic and Cultural Environment

To minimize adverse impacts arising out due to the project activity, mitigative measures are
suggested in the EMP. Proper implementation of EMP would mitigate adverse impacts in the
region. Prior information about the project should be given to locals in study area.
 An emergency plan should be prepared in advance, to deal with fire fighting.
 The authority should make an assessment of the safe, legal load limits of all the bridges
etc that may be traversed heavy equipment.
 All construction material and equipment should be stored in a neat and orderly manner
so that land owners whose land is utilized for this purpose will not suffer.
115
The project will not involve rehabilitation, resettlement as the proposed LPG import facility is
existing plant. It is obvious to assume that the activity of the proposed expansion plant
operations will produce some improvements in the socioeconomic levels in the surrounding
area. The following sections describe the anticipated impact of this project on various aspects
of socio-economic environment of the area.
The project will give in-direct employment opportunities as well as ancillary business
opportunities; thereby improve economic condition of the area. Better economic conditions of
the people will also help in boost literacy rates. Thus the life style of the people will also get
improved. Therefore, overall a positive impact is envisaged due to the proposed project.
Socio-economic environment
 Labour welfare programmes shall be organized with reference to sanitation, educational

and health awareness.
 Authorities in the area and villagers shall be made aware of the safety measures in
vogue.
 Programmes shall be arranged to generate environmental awareness, in general, and
plant activities, in particular, for eliminating misconceptions of local people.
Construction workers
 Local people will be employed for construction work to the maximum extent possible.
 Proper facility for domestic water supply, sanitation and other essential services will be
made available to the construction workers.
 Temporary toilets will be provided which will be connected to septic tank with soak pits.
 The facilities should be maintained in a clean, odour free condition and care should be
taken to avoid soil and groundwater contamination.
 Face masks, gloves and other personal protective equipments shall be provided to
workers to prevent health hazard during construction activities.
 Labor camps with basic facilities will be in scope of concerned contractor. IOC will
facilitate.
Traffic Control
During Construction phase of the project
 The authority should make an assessment of the safe, legal load limits of all the
bridges, streets that may be traversed by heavy equipment.
 Traffic congestion and road hazards should be prevented.
 Deliveries of materials to the project site should be consolidated whenever feasible to
minimize the flow of traffic.
 Existing network of roads should be used for transporting equipment and construction
material and no new road should be constructed unless unavoidable.
 There should be no diversion of traffic in the phases of construction.
116
Truck traffic:
 Will be staggered all through the day and during non-peak hours.
 Materials will be received during non-peak hours.
 Water will be sprinkled during transportation.
 Adequate wide entry/ exit gate will be provided.
 Security personnel will manage traffic on shift basis at entry / exit point.
 Sufficient space for movements of vehicles will be provided.
6.6. Completion of Construction Activity – Restoration

Before the activity is considered as complete by the authority, appropriate measures should be
taken to restore the project site and surrounding areas to that of pre-construction condition.
Temporary structures, equipment, surplus material and refuse should be removed from the
project site at the earliest. Land will be restored as discussed below:
 To be restore as good as pre-construction condition.

 Provision of proper drainage pattern.
 Construction debris and other wastes should be cleared from the site.
 Fences and other facilities will be repaired during this stage.
6.7. EMP for Operational Phase

Routine operational activities of the project would be associated with the following potentially
significant environmental impacts. These activities associated with the impacts as listed
hereunder: Routine production activities:
 Domestic waste water disposal

 Transport of men and material
 Storage of bulk Butane & Propane storage (20 Nos. x 2,000 MT)
 LPG spills and leaks
 Fire / Explosion
Several control measures have been incorporated to minimize the generation of wastes and
subsequent environmental impacts during the operational phase. Strict adherence to these
pollution prevention and control measures shall moderate the environmental impacts to the
minimum possible level during operational phase. In general, the environmental management
plan during operational phase of the plant shall be directed to the following:
 It shall be ensured that all the pollution control / environment management systems are
commissioned before the commencement of operation of the project.
 Wherever possible, the control systems shall be interlinked with the operational units,
so that failure of the control system shall shut down the respective operational unit.
 Regular performance evaluation of the control systems shall be undertaken to ensure
their optimum performance.
 Preventive maintenance schedule of the control systems will be matching with that of
the respective operational unit.
 Regular monitoring for various components of environment shall be undertaken to
ensure effective functioning of pollution control measures as well as to safe guard
against any unforeseen changes in environment.
117
 Efforts shall be made to ensure the maximum utilization of wastes generated.
During the operational phase, there will not be any significant impacts on various
environmental components. Hence, the following Management Plan is recommended to
mitigate adverse impacts during operation phase:
Management of Air Environment

No emission is envisaged during the storage & handling of LPG in the Mounded Bullets. LPG
will be imported in VLGCs at South Oil Jetty constructed by Paradip Refinery where space for
putting up Butane / Propane unloading facility is available. Imported Butane / Propane would
be transferred to LPG Import Facility through 2 nos. underground pipelines. Imported Butane
and Propane will be stored in aboveground mounded storage vessels and sent to market as
LPG after blending of Butane & Propane. The proposed LPG plant will be operated in a well
proven leak proof system, thus there will no source of emissions from the storage and blending
LPG marketing terminal.
To control fugitive emissions following measures are recommended:
 Controlled emissions and provision of PPE for the workers.

 Provision of mechanical seal in pumps.
 Preventive maintenance of valves and other equipment.
 Adequate measures for the minimization/prevention of the fugitive emission.
 Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipment to prevent leakage.
 Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive emission.
 The unit will also provide adequate stack monitoring facilities for the periodic monitoring
of the stack to verify the compliance of the stipulated norms.
 Greenbelt development shall be implemented to mitigate impacts from fugitive
emissions. About 33 % of the total area of site area will be developed for greenbelt. The
air quality surveillance program will be undertaken for proposed and the program may
be strengthened properly keeping in view the combined maximum impacts from post-
project activities particularly in critical downwind directions.
Management of Noise Environment

To minimize the noise pollution the unit proposes the following noise control measures:
 Manufacturers / suppliers of major noise generating machines / equipments like air
compressors, feeder pumps, etc. shall be instructed to make required design
modifications wherever possible before supply and installation to mitigate the noise
generation and to comply with the national/ international regulatory norms with respect
to noise generation.
 Periodic maintenance of machinery and vehicles should be undertaken to reduce the
noise impact.
 Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and / or protective measures
should be provided (wherever noise level is more than 75 dB (A).
 Employees should be provided with Personal Protective Equipments like earplugs or
earmuffs, wherever required.
 Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried out or the
machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.
118
 The selection of any new plant equipment will be made with specification of low noise
levels.
 The green belt area will be developed within industrial premises and around the
periphery to prevent the noise pollution in surrounding area.
 Noise monitoring shall be carried out to check the efficacy of maintenance schedules
undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise protection measures.
 Good quality digital sound level meter will be in place to monitor noise level.
 The sources of intermittent noise generating equipment (water pumping equipment, DG
set, compressor etc.) will be provided with appropriate acoustic barriers so that the
noise level within 1 m of these facilities when in operation will be less than 75 dB(A).
 Implementation of greenbelt development / landscaping etc. will reduce noise impacts
within the project premises to a great extent.
Management of Water Environment
Surface water quality

Waste water generated during processing of the plant will be passed through sedimentation
trap and the treated water will be used again in washing purpose. Zero liquid discharge will be
maintained and hence no contamination of surface water is envisaged.
Ground water quality

Since Zero liquid discharge will be maintained hence, no contamination of ground water is
envisaged. The mitigation measures for minimizing the impacts on water environment in
general includes following:
 Optimum utilization of water resource.
 Minimize waste generation and facilitate treatment.
 Reuse/recycle and disposal.
 Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor to reduce the amount of wastewater
generated.
 Advance controls and instrumentation for operations and control and leak detection
techniques shall be implemented for this project.
 The domestic sewage will be treated in existing STP.
Management of Land Environment

The management plan for this component of environment lays emphasis on development of
greenbelt comprising of appropriately selected species of shrubs and trees. It is recommended
that plantation be made on sites, road sides, around waste treatment units. Such a
development of greenbelt and plantation of shrubs and trees will not only significantly reduce or
mitigate adverse impacts due to aerosols and gaseous pollutants, noise, odor and nuisance
etc, but also, serve as shelter belts for avifauna, stabilize and improve soil permeability and
aesthetic environment.
Management of Solid Waste

Waste is an unavoidable byproduct of human activity. Economic development, rapid
urbanization & improved living standards have led to the increase in quantity & complexity of
the waste generated. Proper disposal of waste is essential for preservation and improvement of
119
public health. Solid waste management is one of the most essential services for maintaining
the quality of life in the plant and for ensuring better standards of health and sanitation. Solid
waste generated in the plant area can be handled under two main categories, namely domestic
wastes and industrial wastes. Effective measures shall be taken to effectively implement the
solid waste management systems in the plant. Solid waste will be handed over to authorized
vendor for disposal.
The Hazardous wastes shall be handled and disposed as per Hazardous Waste (Management
and Handling) Rules, 2008.
The Waste Management plan includes:
 Waste Inventory
 Classification of waste
 Packaging, Storing and Transporting Wastes to Disposal site
 Data Management and Reporting -Personnel Training
 Waste Minimization
General Guidelines for Waste Management:
Solid waste
 The solid waste shall be segregated as bio-degradable and non-biodegradable.

 The organic waste shall be segregated and handed over to outside agency for disposal.
 The non-biodegradable (inorganic) waste shall be handed over to authorized recycler
for further handling and disposal.
 Reuse of paper and plastic waste.
 Planned system for waste collection, segregation and disposal.
Hazardous waste
 Hazardous waste will be stored in proper storage room and handed over to authorized
vendor for final disposal.

waste (Management and Handling) Rules 2008, and hence no adverse impact on land
environment is envisaged.
 Necessary PPE‟s shall be provided to workers while handling of hazardous waste.
Management of Biological Environment
 No trash/non-biodegradable materials should be dumped outside the project site.

 Wastewater generated by plant will be treated should be treated adequately and
domestic wastewater (sewage) should be treated in existing STP. No contaminated
water should be allowed to enter the surrounding environment or surface water body.
 Green belt should be developed all along the boundary of the installation by choosing
fast growing and resistant varieties suitable to the soil conditions in the site (native
plants) and special care should be taken to maintain it.
 Survival rate of the planted trees should be closely monitored in the green belt and the
trees which could not survive should be counted.
120
Management of Socio-economic factors
 In order to mitigate the impacts likely to arise out of the proposed project and also to
maintain goodwill of local people for the proposed project, it is necessary to take steps
for improving the social environment. Necessary social welfare measures by the
industry shall be useful in gaining public confidence depending on local requirement.
 Some basic amenities, viz. education, safe drinking water supply, regular medical
checkups in the villages may be taken up.
 Formal and informal training to be provided to the employees of the effected villages
due to the project shall be taken up on priority basis. Job oriented skill training, courses
may be organized.

proposed terminal plant.
122
6.10. Green Belt Development

An ideal green belt always imparts scenic beauty besides providing roosting/perching place for
birds and ground surface for naturally available reptiles, other flora and fauna species, to make
the area more natural and hazard free.
Total green belt area designated accounts to 33 % of the plot area. It is proposed to plant local
fast growing species for landscaping. Development of green belt with carefully selected native
plant species is of prime importance due to their capacity to reduce noise and air pollution
impacts by attenuation / assimilation and for providing food and habitat for local macro and
micro fauna. This not only overcomes the problem but also enhances the beauty of area that
will attract bird and insect species and by this way ecology of the area will maintain to a great
extent. For developing the greenbelt in and around proposed project sites care need to be
taken to plant the evergreen species. The planting of evergreen species may have certain
advantages that may reduce the environmental pollution.
Preparation of Greenbelt Plan
The proposed greenbelt development should be of a suitable width along the periphery of
project site area including unit complex, space between the units located within the project,
along the roads, storage areas, loading / unloading areas of products etc.
Greenbelt Area Details
Within project site
Green belt will be developed in 73212.26 Sq.m area of the total plot area. Saplings will be
planted on the periphery of the boundary of the plot.
Criteria for Selection of Species for Greenbelt
The plant species suitable for green belt development should be selected based on the
following characteristics.
 It should have thick canopy cover

 They should be perennial and evergreen
 They should have high sink potential for pollutants
 They should be efficient in absorbing pollutants if any without significantly affecting their
growth.
Guidelines for Plantation
The plant species identified for greenbelt development should be planted using pitting
technique. The pit size should be either 45 cm × 45 cm × 45 cm or 60 cm × 60 cm × 60 cm.
bigger pit size is prepared on marginal and poor quality soil. Soil used for filling the pit should
be mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure for 45cm × 45 cm × 45 cm and 60 cm × 60
cm× 60 cm size pits respectively. The filling of soil should be completed at least 5-10 days
before actual plantation. Healthy sapling of identified species should be planted in each pit.

6.14. Conclusions
The project can cause minor impacts only during construction phase due to the various
activities involved during that phase. However, strict adherence to the various mitigation
measures as identified under the EMP, strengthened by adequate environmental monitoring
using best available technology (BAT) and auditing and good construction practices, including
the special construction methods as prescribed, will go a long way in effectively reducing the
impacts as to negligible levels.
During operation phase of the project, none of the routine activities will cause any noticeable
impact on any component of the environment, including the socio-economic component.
Provision of green belt and energy conservation shall further facilitate in overall scenario
management of Environment.
Thus, it can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation
measures and Environmental Management Plan, the proposed project shall have negligible
impact on environment and will benefit the local people and economy.
129
CHAPTER 7. PROJECT BENEFITS
