EIA Report
Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Air Environment
• In order to estimate the ground level concentrations due to the emission from the
proposed project, AERMOD Cloud 5 software has been employed.
• These predicted ground level concentrations when added to baseline scenario, the
overall scenario levels of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, are observed well within the
permissible limits specified by CPCB.
• VOCs and other parameters are observed with below detectable limit, the detail
explanation is mentioned in Baseline chapter-3.
• Adequate mitigation measures will be taken to control air pollution.

Noise Environment
The major noise source includes various machines, pumps, motors, DG sets and vehicular
traffic. The noise levels were below the stipulated standards of CPCB for residential and
industrial areas. 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.
Water Environment
The source of water for the project shall be met through Ravdapura Gram Panchayat water
supply. Total water requirement for the proposed project will be 11.03 KLD. 0.41 KLD will be
used for domestic purpose, 2.02 KLD for gardening purpose and 8.6 KLD for industrial
purpose. The industrial waste water generated will be sent to ETP for treatment and after that
the treated water will be used in cooling towers. Domestic waste water (0.324 KLD) will be
disposed off into the septic tank.

EIA Report
Land Environment
Total area of the project site is 1225 m2. Large part of plant will be open area and will be utilized
for road, parking, and green belt. A total of 404.2 m2 area has been earmarked for the green
area development. Once the construction activities will be completed, there will be little impact
envisaged due to the operation of the plant. Development of green belt and other landscape on
the project site would enhance the visual aesthetics of the area.
Biological Environment
The project activity does not require tree cutting during land clearing also, the study zone does
not have any ecologically sensitive location and hence, the plant activities are not expected to
have any impact on the ecology and biodiversity. A total of 404.2 m2 area has been earmarked
for greenbelt development, which will help in development of biodiversity. The indigenous plants
shall be planted along with ornamental trees/shrubs to provide an aesthetic environment within
and around the plant. The maintenance of the greenbelt developed shall be ensured and
survival rate of the plants shall also be studied every half yearly.
Socio-economic Environment
The proposed project will have some positive impact on the industrial growth in the region. It is
anticipated that during the operation phase, the proposed project will also generate some
indirect employment due to sales / transportation etc. The overall project will have a long term
benefit and hence no mitigation measure is required. However, as per the skills, preference to
local people shall be given in employment. Hence, the proposed project will have positive
impact on the socioeconomic environment.
Environmental Monitoring Program
Environmental Monitoring Network is designed for operation phase of the project for monitoring
of various environmental parameters like air, water, noise, soil and ecology etc.
Environmental Management Plan
The EMP presents the project specific guidelines on:
• Environmental management strategies

• Specialized engineering construction procedures in relation to environmental guidelines
of the country

Firstly, water and surfactant is charged into reactor and into pre-mix tank at the same time.
Then stir it continuously for half an hour. Once it mixed properly start to add monomers (i.e.
styrene or vinyl acrylic and Butyl acrylate) slowly with fixed flow rate. Simultaneously start
heating in the reactor with the set point of 80 OC. Add S.B.C in the reactor and add Acrylic acid
and P.P.S in pre-mix tank. After 20 mins of charge, start feeding of pre-mixed emulsion in the
reactor. Once feeding is completed in the process, the solution will start to exotherm in the
reactor. After finishing exothermic reaction, start continuous feeding for 4 hours with fixed flow
rate. Add T.B.H.P to complete the reaction and hold the batch for half an hour at 45-50 OC

CO) reacts with the OH group to form an ester and a water molecule.

Rainwater harvesting is proposed in the project to conserve the storm water. Adequate care
has been taken while making efficient planning for percolation of rain water into the sub surface
without directly draining it outside and conserving maximum extent of rain water within the
facility. In order to allow percolation of rain water into the ground, rain water harvesting
structures along the boundary of the project has been proposed. These will enhance the
ground water potential while raising the water table in area.

CHAPTER 3. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
3.1. Introduction
The baseline environmental qualities of various environmental components like air, noise, water,
land, flora and fauna and socio-economic form an important and integral part of an EIA study.
The baseline data forms the basis for predicting/assessing the environmental impacts of the
proposed project. The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field surveys within
the impact zone as well as the secondary data for various components of the environment, viz.,
air, noise, water, land and socio-economic.
The proposed project is located at Plot no. 423/1, opposite Kartvya Farm, village Ravdapura,
district Anand, state Gujarat. The proposed project is at the intersection of latitude
22°35'41.21"N and 72°57'37.34"E longitude.
The report presents the data collected during the sampling period of three months during pre
monsoon season from March 2018 to May 2018. Various environmental components were
monitored and samples were analyzed.
The baseline quality of various components of the environment viz., air, noise, water, land,
biology, meteorological and socio- economic was assessed within the impact zone of about 10
km around the proposed site. Secondary data has also been incorporated from authentic
sources viz.
3.2. Methodology

3.3. Geology
3.3.1. Introduction
Anand district covers an area of 2941 sq km, lies in the central part of the state. Anand district
is situated between North latitudes 22°06' & 22°43' and East longitudes 72°20' & 73°12' and
falls in the Survey of India degree sheet No. 46B and 46F. The district is bounded on the north
by the Kheda District, on the west by Ahmadabad District and on the east by Vadodara District.
The southern boundary of the district is marked by the Gulf of Khambat. Anand District is
famous for the Agriculture Co-operative “The Amul” Milk Co-operative which is located at
Anand the District Headquarter. The district falls under the canal command of Mahi Right Bank
Canal Command Area (MRBC) and has an intensive network of canal. The Canal is fed by weir
constructed on Mahi River at Waynesboro in Balasinor Taluka of Kheda District. The flow in the
river is regulated by Kadana Dam situated upstream in the Panchmahals district.
3.3.2. Geological Formations

The Anand district lies in the Cambay basin situated between Saurashtra Crater and Aravali
Swell and Deccan Shield in the East. The basin comprises both marine and non marine
formations. Major part of the district is underlain by alluvium which in turn is underlain by
Tertiary sedimentary formations within The Cambay Sedimentary Basin. The alluvium mainly
consists of fine to coarse grained sand, gravel, silt, clay and Kankar. The thickness of alluvium

EIA Report
gradually increases from piedmont zone in the northeast towards west and southwest.
Maximum thickness of alluvium in the district is estimated to be about 250-300 m in the south,
central part.
Quaternary, Post Miocene and Tertiary sediments in the area were deposited over a sinking
basement. The main formation is of quaternary age, formed by alluvium deposited by Mahi,
Sabarmati and Watrak rivers. They comprise multilayered formations of gravel, sand, clay and
kankars intermixed at places. The clay and sand horizons form alternate layers having pinching
and swelling nature. The kankars, pebbles and the gravels form lenses. Thickness of alluvium
increases from North and North West towards South and South West direction. Alluvium is
underlain by Deccan traps in general with intervening blue clays at some places.

3.3.3. Geomorphology
The present physiographic set up is a combined result of diversified lithology, structure and
denudational as well as depositional processes active in the area. Geomorphologically, the
district can be broadly classified into following major zones:
1. Piedmont plain
2. Alluvial Plain
3. The Coastal Plains (Bhal)
Piedmont plain: A belt of about 15-20 km width fringing the hilly terrain in the north east
extending approximately 70-80 m above MSL elevation constitute piedmont plain. This belt is
characterised by moderate relief, shallow alluvium with at places boulder/gravel beds.
Alluvial Plain: It is the single most prominent geomorphic unit and covers the major part of the
district. It forms part of the inter cratonic Cambay graben, where sediments have been
deposited in a slow sinking basin. Wind as carrier has dumped or deposited sand and silt
covering paleo-topography and older formations. It is a vast sandy tract characterised by gently
sloping, slightly rolling to undulating topography owing to presence of blown sands at surface.

EIA Report
Over all drainage density is low and most of the area, particularly the mid-stream part of Mahi
and Sabarmati River, is devoid of well-developed drainage network. River alluvium is observed
along the rivers Mahi, Sabarmati, Vatrak in the form of channel or flood deposits. Terrain slope
are moderate to low. Charotar plain lying between the rivers Shedi and Mahi in the central part
is one of the richest agriculture belt of Gujarat. Bad land topography is observed all along the
bank, with bank height 15-20 m, of river Mahi indicating active erosion.
Coastal Plains (Bhal Region): In the south-western part, mainly in Tarapur and Khambat
talukas, alluvial plain merges with the coastal Bhal area. BHAL in the local language means
forehead where nothing grows. Such areas have saline soil and are monotonously 6 flat with
few isolated and continuous patches of marshy lands with salt encrustation, which are at
places contiguous to the marshy lands of the gulf. In this conspicuous landform, terrain is
monotonously flat & low lying with general elevations less than 30- 40 m above MSL. Such
areas are mostly wasteland and are devoid of vegetation. During monsoon period, such tract is
covered by a large sheet of water.
3.4. 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 geographical 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 and land cover
unit from an analysis of different types of colour registrations of land use and land cover unit s
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.

3.5. Hydrogeology
The Anand district lies in the Cambay basin situated between Saurashtra Crater and Aravali
Swell and Deccan Shield in the east. The basin comprises both marine and non marine
formations. Major part of the district is underlain by alluvium which in turn is underlain by
Tertiary sedimentary formations within the Cambay Sedimentary Basin. The alluvium mainly
consists of fine to coarse grained sand, gravel, silt, clay and Kankar. The thickness of alluvium
gradually increases from piedmont zone in the northeast towards west and south west.
Maximum thickness of alluvium in the district is estimated to be about 250-300 m in the south,
central part. Ground water occurs both under phreatic and confined conditions in arenaceous
horizons that form a multilayered aquifer system. The occurrence and movement of ground
water is mainly controlled by inter- granular pore spaces. Two major aquifers can be identified
within the explored depth. Ground water in the upper unit occurs under phreatic conditions,
which at places becomes semi- confined to confine. The lower unit, comprising a few hundred
metres of alternating sandy and clayey horizons, forms a multiple confined aquifer system. The
general disposition of these aquifers in the study area is as follows.
Description Aquifer Depth (m bgl)

Hydrogeological Unit I Phreatic Less than 40
Confined I 40 – 195
Hydrogeological Unit II
Confined II 205 – 275
Towards east and northeast, in the piedmont plain, the nature of sediments is more uniform
and only phreatic aquifer is present. This belt forms the principal recharge zone for the deeper
aquifers. The argillaceous in the central and western parts, mainly act as confining layers.
Ground water is extensively developed by dug, dug-cum-bored and tube wells in areas
underlain by alluvium. Depth of dug and dug-cum-bored wells varies from 5 m to 38 m bgl
whereas depth of water level, in general, varies from 5 m to 15 m bgl. The depth of ground
water in the vicinity of the Mahi River in the east is deepest and gradually become shallower
towards west. The general depth to ground water is between 5 m and 10 m bgl. The average
fluctuation, between pre monsoon and post monsoon seasons, recorded during the studies is
of the order of 3m. It varies from 0.60 m to 10.269 m. The quality of ground water is generally
suitable for irrigation, and the hydro geological conditions are conducive to ground water
development through dug wells, dug cum bored and tube wells.

The level of ground water development varies from 17.09 % (Tarapur Taluka) to 63.27 %
(Anklav Taluka). Overall level of ground water development in the district is 52.48%. Prime
source of ground water irrigation in the district are dug wells, shallow and deep tube wells and
canals.Net irrigated area is about 181500 ha. Irrigation intensity is 133.11 %. Net irrigated area
through canals is 95700 ha.

EIA Report
3.8. Meteorology
Observation on Meteorology: The meteorological parameters play a vital role in transport and
dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere.
Micro meteorological data within the study area, during air quality survey period. Meteorological
data recorded during the monitoring period is very useful for proper interpretation of the
baseline information as well as for the input to the predictive air pollutants dispersion models.
Historical data on meteorological parameters will also pay an important role in identifying the
general meteorological status of the region. Site specific data can be compared with the
historical data in order to identify changes, which may have taken place due to the rapid
industrialization in the area.
The micro-meteorological parameters regulate the transport and diffusion of pollutants released
into the atmosphere. The principle variables which affect the micrometeorology are horizontal
connective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical connective transport
(atmospheric stability and inversion conditions) and topography of the area.

3.9. Ambient Air Quality

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 the 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.
Methodology for Air Monitoring: AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored
on 24 hourly average basis twice 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 2.5 μm), 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 8 locations to generate representative ambient
air quality data. The sampling locations are shown in figure and listed in Table 3.4

3.10. 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 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 measurements were carried out at each monitoring location
during day time and night time.
Noise Monitoring Locations
A total of 8 locations were identified for ambient noise monitoring in the study area. The noise
monitoring locations are given in Table 3.7

3.11. Water Quality
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.
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/ drinking
purposes.
The samples collected were preserved, stored and analyzed as per standard methods of
Analysis of Water and Waste water (APHA, 1995).
3.11.1. Ground Water Quality:
Ground water samples were collected from 8 locations during the study period and analyzed for
a number of physico-chemical parameters.

EIA Report
Observation on Surface water Quality:
The baseline quality of water based on the results of the surface water quality monitoring within
the study area, it is observed that,
• The TDS and Chloride is high at Reservoir Chikhodra water body due to some
anthropogenic sources such as washing, bathing etc. and it may be due some
percolation of groundwater where TDS is high from nearby area.
• Total coliform and faecal coliform are observed high at all locations due to domestic
activities in ponds like washing, bathing etc.
3.12. Soil
Soil is the most important natural resource and a natural resource is anything that comes from
the earth and is used by us. We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay and
water. Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc.
These are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by
which essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made up of two main parts:
Tiny bits of mineral particles which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in
color and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.
Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms, round
worms, insects, etc. Actually more organisms live in the soil than above it.
3.12.1. Methodology
The soil samples were collected from 8 selected locations during pre monsoon season. The
samples collected were homogeneous representative of each sampling location. At random sub
locations were identified at each location and soil samples were collected from 5 to 15 cm below
the surface. It was uniformly mixed before homogenizing the soil samples. The samples about
500 gm were packed in polythene bags labelled in the field with location number and sent to the
laboratory for the analysis of physicochemical parameters.
3.12.2. Soil Sampling Locations
Soil Sampling was conducted once during the study period of Pre Mon soon season. 8 soil
samples were collected from selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed project. For
studying soil quality environment in the study area, sampling locations were selected to assess
the existing soil conditions in and around the existing plant area representing various land use
conditions. The homogenized samples were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics.

3.13. Biological Environment:
Ecological communication presents the highest level of commitment to the environment, to

personal and community ecology and to a sustainable way of life for us and for the next
generation.
Environment consists of all living and non living factors which balance the weather conditions
and may be disturbed by some mechanical activities. Due to introduction of such activities, the
surrounding water, air and habitats may disappear or some new species may appear.
By conducting ecological studies, we may be able to understand the pattern of change in

weather condition, appearance or disappearance of flora and fauna, changes in vegetation
pattern in respect of their quantity and quality.
The future industrial activities may be so planned in such a way that the existing ecosystem may
not get disturbed beyond sustainable limits. Hence, ecological studies form a part of
environmental monitoring studies required for Environmental Management Plan.
The ecological study was undertaken to understand the present status of ecosystem of the
area, to predict changes as a result of proposed activities and to suggest measures for
maintaining the conditions. This carried through primary survey and secondary data collected
from various Government agencies like Forest Department, Agriculture Department, Scientific
literatures etc. 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.
Floral Compositions (cross check)
The floristic survey was carried out in and around the project site. Overall structure of the
vegetation in this area was scattered forest patches intercepted with scrubland and grassland.
Most of the study area is under human settlement and agriculture practice. The grasses were
found growing on open places, agricultural area and near human settlements. The agricultural
practice is mainly depending on monsoon water. The main crops cultivated in the region are
Rice, lab lab bean, cow pea, black gram, horse gram, finger millet, pros millet and groundnut.
Some irrigated part of the area has vegetables like okra, brinjal and leafy vegetables.

EIA Report
The floral composition of the study area is mostly tropical deciduous type. The various terrestrial
plants available in the study area are reported in below table. Heavy rainfall, moderate and
humid climate condition favours the richness of flora in study area.

CHAPTER 4. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1. Prelude
Prediction of environmental impacts is the most important component in the impact
assessment study, as it provides quantitative information on anticipated environmental impacts
from a project well in advance. Several mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies
are available for predicting impacts from developmental projects on the surrounding
physicochemical, ecological and socio economic components of environment. The results
obtained from the predictions are superimposed over the baseline data ( pre project) to derive
the ultimate (post project) scenario of environmental quality status in the study area around the
proposed project site. The quantitative impacts derived from predictions are also essential to
delineate effective environmental management plan for minimizing the adverse impacts on the
surrounding environment during construction and operation phases of the project.
The following sections identify the potential impacts on the environment from the proposed
project based on the nature and extent of the various activities associated with the project
implementation and operation, as well as the current status of the environmental quality at the
project site. Both beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts are considered.
4.2. Valued Environmental Components and Potential Impacts
The project activities will interact with various valued Environmental Components viz., air,
water, soil, land, flora & fauna, etc. The components that may be affected due to the proposed
manufacturing and require focused evaluation are summarized in the following sub sections,
considering both construction phase as well as operation phase of the project.
4.2.1. Potential Impacts during Project Implementation
• Impact on Air Environment

• Impact on Land Environment
• Impact on Ambient Noise Levels
• Impact on Water Quality
• Impact due to Solid Waste
• Impact on Terrestrial Ecology
• Impact on Socio-economic Environment

EIA Report
4.2.2. Potential Impacts during Project Operation
• Impact on Air Environment

• Impact on Noise Environment
• Impact on Water Environment
• Impact due to Solid Waste/ Hazardous Waste
• Impact on Terrestrial Ecology
• Impact on Land Environment
• Impact on Socio-economic Environment
4.3. Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Project Implementation
Construction activities normally spread over pre-construction, preparatory construction,

machinery installation and commissioning stages and end with the induction of manpower and
start up.
Preparatory construction phase mainly consists of transportation of machinery, equipment and

materials to the site for construction, clearing and levelling of land, construction of foundations,
buildings and approach roads.
Machinery installation and commissioning involve activities like fabrication work, cutting,
welding and construction of buildings and other facilities, lying of cables and pipelines etc. It
involves testing of plant for any type of leakages and designed capacity. The environmental
impacts along with suggested mitigation measures have been presented in the following sub
sectors. The construction activities for the proposed project are limited only and for shorter
period.
4.3.1. Air Environment
Impact: The sources of air emission during construction phase will include site clearing,
vehicles movement, material storages and handling and operation of construction equipment.
Emissions from them are expected to result in temporary degradation of air quality, primarily in
the working environment affecting construction employees. However, dust generation and SPM
rise in the ambient air will be coarse and will settle within a short distance close to the
construction sites. Hence, dust and other emissions are unlikely to spread sufficiently to affect
the surroundings of the construction site.
Traffic to the site during construction will be slightly more intensive than at present. The present
road conditions are good for the proposed additional movement of vehicular traffic. Hence, the

EIA Report
impacts on the ambient air quality during construction phase will be temporarily for short
duration and reversible in nature and restricted to small area.
Fugitive dust sources associated with construction phase include vehicular traffic generating
fugitive dust on paved and unpaved roads, aggregate material handling, and other aggregate
processing operations.
The emission of particulate matter during the construction phase will be generated from the
activities like receipt, transfer and screening of aggregate, road dust emissions, etc.
Mitigation Measures:
Dust Control
• Paving is an appropriate solution for access road to the project. Another appropriate use
of paving is for parking lots and for material storage areas, where gravel cover is not
adequate for dust control or erosion.
• Locally found gravels can also be applied to access roads and lots to add a protective
layer over the exposed soil and helps to control dust generation. However, gravels shall
contain a minimal percentage of fines and clean gravel shall be added periodically, as
the fines migrate to the surface and create dust.
• Water spray, through water trucks is an effective way to keep dust under control.
Sprinklers can also be employed to deliver continuous moisture in dust prone areas.
• High vehicle speeds increase the amount of fugitive dust created from unpaved areas.
Reducing the speed of a vehicle to 20 km/hr can reduce emissions by a large extent.
• Care shall be taken to keep all material storages adequately covered and contained so
that they are not exposed to situations, where winds on site could lead to dust
particulate emissions.
• Fabrics and plastics for covering piles of soils and debris is an effective means to reduce
fugitive dust from the material stores/warehouses.
• Spills of dirt or dusty materials shallll be cleaned up promptly so that the spilled materials
do not become a source of fugitive emission.
• Spilled concrete slurries or liquid wastes shall be contained/cleaned up immediately
before they can infiltrate into the soil/ground or run off in nearby areas.

EIA Report
Gaseous Emission Control
• Regular maintenance of machinery and equipment will be carried out.

• All the vehicles used for construction activity shall be checked for ‘Pollution Under
Control’ (PUC).
• Ambient Air Quality monitoring should be carried out during construction phase. If
monitored parameters are above the prescribed limits, suitable control measures must
be taken.
4.3.2. Noise Level
Impact: The general noise levels during construction phase viz. due to working of heavy earth
moving equipment and machinery installation may sometimes go up to 90 db (A) at the work
sites in day time. The workers in general are likely to be exposed to an equivalent noise level of
80-90 db (A) in 8 hours shift for which all statutory precautions will be implemented.
The noise generation will be considered during such type of large scale construction activities.
The impacts during construction phase are temporary and will be marginal. Necessary
mitigation measures are required to be implemented during construction period.

Mitigation Measures
There will be increase in ambient noise levels during the construction phase due to all the
project activities during construction phase, which will be temporary in nature and for a shorter

EIA Report
duration ( i.e. construction phase). The measures described below wil be able to mitigate the
noise levels generated at site:
• Provision of rubber padding/ noise isolators

• Provision of silencers to modulate the noise generated by machines
• Provision of protective devices like ear muff/ plugs to the workers
• As far as possible no construction activities will be carried out during night time
• Maintenance of construction equipment shall be done properly, which will be done by
provision in the various contracts with the contractors.
• Vehicular movement towards the construction sites shall be properly regulated to
minimize the air and noise pollution consequences.
• Movement of trucks shall be controlled during night time.
4.3.3. Water Resources & Quality
During the construction phase of the project, total water requirement will be fulfilled from Ravda
Pura Gram Panchayat water supply. Waste water generated during construction phase will be
mainly from construction workers & domestic activities. Therefore, no long term adverse impact
on water quality (surface as well as ground) is anticipated during construction phase.
Construction waste water generation:
Minimal quantity waste water will be generated during the construction phase of the project.
Water will be used only for curing of concrete, which will be absorbed by land or get
evaporated. Vitrified/ polished tiles will be used for flooring and hence no wash water will be
needed.
The potential negative impact is considered minor and has no long term impact. Alkaline wash
water containing excessive amounts of cement will be made to settle down and neutralized
before discharge. The overall impact on water environment during construction phase due to
the proposed project would be short term duration and insignificant. The potential negative
impact is considered minor and has no long term impact.
Sanitation
The construction work force will use the sanitation facility (Septic tank) in order to maintain
adequate hygienic conditions.

EIA Report
4.3.4. Land Environment

Impact:
• Soil around construction site, haulage road, and workshop areas, will get compacted due
to transportation of man, machine and materials.
• Soil may also get contaminated around construction site, machine maintenance area,
fuelling station and internal road construction material storage (not much involved) &
preparation site and haulage road.
• No soil erosion is anticipated due to the construction activities during the rainy season,
as the project site is a flat land.
• Road traffic will be increased during construction phase. There will not be increase in rail
and sea traffic during construction phase.
• However, as such, the operations do not require any major combustion source; hence
the impact on soil due to deposition of air pollutants shall be negligible.
• Soil quality will not be affected, as there will not be any disposal of untreated effluent on
land.
• To keep the damage to topsoil, minimum excavators shall be used for construction. The
excavated material such as topsoil shall be stacked at safe places for reuse at a later
stage of construction.
• Top soil conserved during the construction phase shall be utilized for landscaping and
green belt development.
• Once the construction activities will be completed, there is no adverse impact envisaged
due to the operation of the plant. The greenbelt development and tree plantation will help
in enhancing the aesthetic value of the plant.
• During dry weather, control of the dust nuisance created by excavation, levelling and
transportation activities shall be carried out by water sprinkling.
• Occasional & minor fuel/ chemicals spills may occur. These will not affect water or land
because of appropriate flooring & presence of spill control procedures.
• Spill prevention and control plans shall be made , clearly stating measures to stop the
source of the spill, to contain the spill, to dispose the contaminated material and
hazardous wastes.
• The discharge of sewage/ other effluents will be taken upon need basis, the quality of
effluent shall be maintained confirming to be stipulated CPCB standards.

EIA Report
• The movement of construction vehicles, machinery and equipment shall be restricted to

the pre- defined haulage roads. The non usable, non sale-saleable, non hazardous
construction waste shall be dispose off in the properly delineated places. Usable or
saleable waste shall be disposed off to landfill.
All efforts shall be made to prevent soil contaminations and following measures shall be
taken to prevent the same:
• No fuelling/ repairing the vehicles at the project site is proposed, as the volume of
construction activities is very limited and will be limited to the proposed project site.
• To avoid the soil contamination at the wash down areas, “oil interceptors” shall be
provided.
• The sewage stream will be sent to septic tank.
4.3.5. Solid and Hazardous Waste
Impact:
During construction phase, solid waste such as excavated soil, debris, metal waste and oil &
grease from construction machines will be generated. This waste may contaminate soil at plant
site temporarily and will be restricted to a small area.
During the construction phase, hydraulic oil, fuels and lubricating oils will be used. There is
potential for accidental spills while re -fuelling or servicing vehicles and through the breakage
due to wear and tear. Procedures for maintenance of equipment will ensure that this risk is
minimized and cleanup response is rapid, if any spill occurs.
During construction phase, waste oil will be generated as and when lubricating oil is changed.
Waste oil will be collected through the drain pots and stored in leak proof steel drums.
Hence, impacts will be insignificant, reversible and for short duration only. The impacts will be
confined to the construction site only.
Mitigation measures:
The best option of its management is to reduce its generation at source with the help of
following good practices in construction management:

EIA Report
• Hazardous materials shall not be stored near surface waters and shall be stored in the
storage area designed as per CPCB guidelines for storage of hazardous waste with
leachate collection system.
• Delivery of material on site shall be done over impervious and level surface, so that first
batch of material does not mix with the site surface. Availability of covered storage would
be assured.
• The recyclable items like metal, plastic shall be sent to recyclable industry, and rest of
this scrap shall be stored in a covered area.
• Wherever materials (aggregated, sand, etc.) are more likely to generate fine air borne
particles during operations, nominal wetting by water shall be practiced. Workers/ labour
shall be given proper air masks and helmets.
• Skilled labour and good workmanship is must for judicial utilization of materials and
minimizing the waste. The waste oil drums will be properly identified with label of what is
contained both in local language (Gujarati) and English. It will be mainly disposed-off by
selling to authorized recycler as per Hazardous and Other wastes (Management and
Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
• Municipal waste will be minimal as most of workforce will be from nearby areas. The
waste so generated will be collected and segregated and will be sent to municipal waste
disposal site allocated by the local administrative authorities.
• Rubbish, debris and bitumen wastes remaining after blacktop works shall be cleaned
and disposed off in a safe place.
4.3.6. Storage of Hazardous Materials/ Dumping Materials
Impact:
No hazardous chemicals storage at project site is proposed during the construction phase. Also
a lot of material may be generated for disposal during construction activity. These, is disposed
off haphazardly can pollute the nearby water bodies adversely. They would increase the
accident incidences also.
Utmost care shall be taken to store these materials at a suitable place and then disposed off at
a place in consultation with and as per the guidelines of GPCB/CPCB.

EIA Report
4.3.7. Socio-Economic Environment
Impact:
All the activities to be carried out during the planning, and construction phases will require
skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled labours, hence creating temporary employment for local
people. The workforce required during construction phase will be depending upon construction
activities. Thus, impact on the physical and aesthetic resources will be minimal. Further, local
skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labourers will get direct and indirect employment during the
construction phase. This might also result in a steep rise in agricultural wages in the
surrounding villages, especially at the time of harvesting for short duration. Hence, the short
term positive impacts on socio- economic conditions of the area are anticipated during
construction phase.
Short term positive impacts will result in better quality of life. The project proponent/contractors
shall ensure that most of the workplace shall be engaged from the nearby villages/ town.
4.3.8. Site Security and Safety
Impact:
A construction site forms a potentially hazardous environment due to the various construction
activities, involvement of heavy construction machinery, vehicular movement etc. Any accident
happens in the project site can affect the construction workers. No hazardous chemicals storage
at project site is proposed during the construction phase.
• To ensure that the surrounding population is not exposed to these hazards, the site shall
be properly secured by fencing and also guards shall be posted at entry points.
• First aid facilities shall be provided at different locations for immediate assistance in case
of emergencies and accidents.
• Important information about nearby hospitals, fire stations, police stations etc. should be
kept available in the first aid centres for speedy actions at the time of emergency.
• In case inflammable materials to be kept at the site, they shall be stored and handled in
accordance with guidelines of inspectorate of Safety and Health of the State and Central
Governments.
• Fire extinguishers shall be located at all vulnerable sites.

EIA Report
4.3.9. Health and well-being of Construction Workers
The objective is to ensure health and safety of the workers during construction, with effective
provisions for the basic facilities of sanitation, drinking water, safety of equipment or machinery
etc. following are the measures, which needs to be followed for better working environment:
• Comply with the safety procedures, norms and guidelines (as applicable) as outlines in
the Constructional Practices and Safety, 2005, National Building Code of India, Bureau
of Indian Standards.
• Clean drinking water shall be provided to all the workers.
• Proper sanitation facility will be provided for the workers working during the Construction
phase.
• All parts of the dangerous machinery shall be guarded.
• Protective equipment, helmets etc. shall be provided to the construction workers.
• Sufficient and suitable light for working during night time shall be provided.
• Dangers, health hazards and measures to protect workers and also information about
these shall be displayed in the areas.
• Training module on construction safety shall be prepared and impart training to the
construction workers.
4.4. Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Project Operation
Some of the potentially significant environmental impacts from the proposed project will be in
water environment, land environment, air environment and socio economics.
4.4.1. Air Environment
Air environment is likely to be affected due to emissions from combustion of fuels used in
machineries, vehicles, DG set and Boilers. Point and Non point source of pollutants will be there
which may cause serious threat to the air quality and it can result in many secondary impacts
like occupation & social health, corrosion of metallic structures of area etc.
Mitigation measures:
• DG set will be operated as a standby.
• Stack of adequate height as per CPCB norms will be erected
• Periodical Monitoring will be carried out

EIA Report
• To control the fugitive emission proponent will practice regular maintenance for the
proposed project.
The air quality impacts have been predicted for the proposed plant assuming baseline air
quality. Site specific meteorological parameters have been recorded by continuous monitoring.
Short term 8 hourly GLC’s incremental values were estimated using the site specific
meteorological conditions.
Model and Methodology for Computation
AERMOD Cloud 5 Software, which is a Gaussian-Plume atmospheric dispersion algorithm for

estimating concentration of pollutant, has been used to predict the Ground Level Concentrations
(GLC’s) of PM, SO2, NOx due to proposed plant activity. The GLC’s were predicted on 8 hourly
average bases keeping in view the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards
(NAAQS).
Data used for Modelling
The hourly meteorological data along with emission rate for individual pollutants used for
prediction of air quality impacts as given in chapter 2 has been taken into consideration.
Ground Level Conc. For PM10

The source of water for the project shall be met through Ravdapura Gram Panchayat water
supply. Total water requirement for the proposed project will be 11.03 KLD. 0.41 KLD will be
used for domestic purpose, 2.02 KLD for gardening purpose and 8.6 KLD for industrial
purpose. The industrial waste water generated will be sent to ETP for treatment and after that
the treated water will be used in cooling towers. Domestic waste water (0.324 KLD) will be
disposed off into the septic tank.
4.4.3. Surface Water Quality
Generated industrial waste water will be sent to ETP for treatment and then the treated water
will be used in cooling towers. The Domestic waste water generated will be disposed off into
septic tank.
4.4.4. Land Environment
Total area of the project site is 1225 m2. Large part of plant will be open area and will be
utilized for road, parking and green belt. A total of 404 m2 area has been earmarked for the
green area development. Once the construction activities will be completed, there will be little
impact envisaged due to the operation of the plant. The green area development and tree
plantation will help in enhancing the aesthetics of the plant.
Mitigation Measures
Green belt development is slow. It should be expedited in consultation with forest department.
Topsoil conserved during the construction phase shall be utilized for landscaping and greenbelt
development.
4.4.5. Solid and Hazardous Waste
Solid wastes like process waste and organic waste are to be separately collected and sent to
safe disposal or sold to the authorized vendor. The final hazardous wastes such as discarded
containers and drums from the plant as classified under Hazardous and Other Wastes
(Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016 are to be collected, stored &
disposed off to the TSDF site or to the registered recycler/processor.
Hazardous waste generated from the facility shall be disposed off in suitable manner as per the
Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. The
used oil generated from the proposed project shall also be collected in barrels and shall be sold

EIA Report

• Data management and reporting
• Contingency plan
• Personnel training
• Waste minimization
The requirements, which will be specified in the Authorization from GPCB, shall be followed.
The manifest system shall also be implemented for control and record keeping.
Good House Keeping:
Proper housekeeping practices make the system easier and less costly. Some of these are as
follows:
• Solid wastes generated from the process and packaging are to be separately collected
and disposed off instead of allowing these to join effluent streams.
• Liquid wastes from various sections shall be collected and stored separately and
released at a regulated rate.
Minimizing Solid waste Disposal:
The following points are suggested to facilitate solid wastes disposal:
• To investigated the large scale regionalized treatment centres for centralized disposal
and reuse of solid wastes.
• Efficient collection and transportation mechanism for disposal of solid wastes

EIA Report
• Search for future recycling schemes and evaluate their worth and implement such
schemes wherever a promise of economic feasibility exists.
Discarded Container/Barrels/ Liners Management
• Discarded Containers/ barrels/ liners will be kept at a designated place with paved
surface. These will be decontaminated (washed/cleaned) and after that will be stored in
the designated area in scrap yard. Later on these will be sold to the actual users/
recyclers as per the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary
Movement) Rules, 2016.
• The record of discarded containers/barrel/liners stored in scrap yard shall be

maintained and also, inventory of their selling to the registered recyclers shall be
maintained. The same shall be reviewed by the HSE Department of the project.
Soil Quality
Impact:
There are no major sources of land contamination from waste spillage. The used oil shall be
collected in barrels and shall be sold to authorized recyclers identified by the GPCB/CPCB. All
other hazardous wastes shall also be stored safely within the site before its final disposal to
landfill site.
4.4.6. Noise Environment

Impact:
Operational phase impacts will mainly result from the operation of machineries and transfer
pumps. Noise level near the compressor has been predicted to exceed 75 dB(A), therefore site
workers shall be provided with personal protective equipments (PPE). Also, it has been
envisaged that noise impacts on local community due to proposed project activities will be
insignificant as noise levels of less than 35 dB(A) have been predicted at a distance of one
kilometre the impacts will be insignificant. Noise may also be generated due to movement of
heavy vehicles, medium vehicles and automobiles during operational phase. However, it has
been envisaged that increase in noise impacts due to vehicular movement will b temporary and
marginal to be considered for their impacts on nearby human settlement.

EIA Report
• 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.
•
4.4.7. Socio-Economic Environment
Impact:
The proposed project will have some positive impact on the industrial growth in the region. It is
anticipated that during the operation phase, the proposed project will also generate some
indirect employment due to sales/transportation.
The overall project will have a long term benefit and hence no mitigation measure is required.
However, as per the skills, preference to local people shall be given in employment.
4.4.8. Ecology and Biodiversity
Impact:
The project activity does not require tree cutting during land clearing also, the study zone does
not have any ecologically sensitive location and hence, the plant activities are not expected to
have any impact on the ecology and biodiversity.
A total of 404 m2 area has been earmarked for greenbelt development, which will help in
development of biodiversity. The indigenous plants shall be planted along with ornamental
trees/shrubs to provide an aesthetic environment within and around the plant. The
maintenance of the greenbelt developed shall be ensured and survival rate of plants shall also
be studied every half yearly.

EIA Report
4.4.9. Foul Odour Problem
Impact:
Some of the processes and wastes generated from the plant may release high odour.
Undesirable odour contributes to air quality concerns and affect human lifestyles. On the
economic front, loss of property value near odour –causing operations/industries and odorous
environment is partly a consequence of offensive odour. Odour is undoubtedly the most
complex of all the air pollution problems. Mainly odour generated by the industries varies
enormously since they can be generated during the production, processing, or even in the
waste water treatment areas of the plants.
• Sampling points will be provided with double valve followed by suction hoods which will
be connected to ducting system leading to charcoal bed.
• Odour causing raw materials will be charged in closed chambers with exhaust of
chambers connected to ducting system.
Additional Measures:
• Odour rounds by non plant personnel will hold regular meetings and odour rounds in
the factory premises for ensuring effective implementation of odour control measures.
• As a long term measure to improve the environment, plantation of trees within factory
premises as well as along the nearby roads is proposed.
• All critical vessels, pumps, reactors which have potential to generate odour will be fitted
with mechanical seals to prevent leakage and therefore odour.
• De-odorizer solution will be sprayed through special network, which will be laid around
the plant. It will help in neutralizing the fugitive emissions.
• Beneath all sample points/ drain points, spill control powder containing trays will be kept
so as to adsorb even slightest of leakage, if at all arises from these points. The spill
control powder will then be sent for incinerator as a solid waste.

EIA Report
4.4.10. Energy Conservation
During the operation phase of the project, energy resources will be required for operating
various pumping machineries for water & waste water, internal road lighting, common utilities
etc. The following options can be used for energy conservation.
• Energy efficient machineries shall be used during operation phase as per Energy
Conservation Building Code 2007.
• Wherever possible in the plant, utilization of renewable sources of energy for

conservation of non- renewable sources of energy shall be ensured.
• Sufficient care shall be taken to prevent/ minimize energy losses at each stage of
development.
• Every year energy audit shall be conducted through competent authority nominated by
Govt. Of India.
4.4.11. Safety Provisions
• All the provisions as per the Factories Act, 1948, Manufacture, Storage and import of
Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 and amendments thereafter and also, the
Hazardous and Other Wastes(Management and Tranboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
to be followed.
• A professional doctor has also been contracted for regular health checkups of the
employees.

CHAPTER 5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5.1 Introduction
It is the best practice that the EIA should consider project alternatives and their relative
potential impact on the environment. Alternatives must, however be both practical and
reasonable, within the overall constraints of the proposed project development. The project
alternative is the way of action in pace of another, that would meet the same purpose and
need, but which would avoid or minimize negative impacts and enhance project benefits.
Project activities may consume natural resources and discharge wastes, which are likely to
have serious consequence to the environment. A number of alternative options may be
available to carry out many of these activities. An option with least or nil adverse environment
impacts is to be selected. Critical analysis is therefore required for selection of the right
alternative. Alternative analysis (AA) has been done for critical aspects of the project.
M/s Maruti Polymers has proposed for manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin & Acrylic
Base Emulsion. While selecting the site Maruti Polymers has considered following factors on
the basis of which the site was finalized.
Analysis of Site Alternatives
The project is in proximity of Anand district of Gujarat State. Project site is located at Plot no.
423/1, Opposite Kartvya Farm, Village Ravdapura, District Anand, and State Gujarat.
Proponent is very well familiar with the surrounding environment; therefore, it becomes easy for
the unit to set up the project on above said location.
• Availability of all basic facilities like infrastructure, communication, transportation,

medical facilities, fuel, water, power, unskilled & skilled man power, raw materials, road
network etc.
• Proximity to market
• The site is well connected with road and railway, nearest city Ravdapura located at
distance of 0.3 km, North and the nearest water body is Mahi River at distance of 1.05
km.
• Nearest Railway station Anand junction at 3.07 km, South.
• There is no reserved forest, national park, eco sensitive areas in surrounding 10 km
radius.
• There is no Rehabilitation & Resettlement involved

CHAPTER 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN
6.1. Environmental Monitoring Programme

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.
6.1.1. Objectives of Monitoring
• To comply with the statutory requirements of monitoring for compliance with conditions
of EC, NOC and CC&A
• To comply with the provisions of factory Act.
• To verify the result of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to new
development.
• Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition to plan
additional mitigation measures, if & as required.
• To check or assess the efficiency of the controlling measures
• To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact assessment
study, do not become critical through the commissioning of new project.
• To establish a data base for future impact assessment studies for new project.
6.2. Environmental Monitoring Program
Environmental Monitoring should be carried out during construction and operation phase of the
project.
6.2.1. 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.

EIA Report
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.
6.2.2. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Both ambient air quality and stack emission 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 3-4 locations 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. Similarly, all the stacks in the
proposed unit will be monitored once in three months with respect to NOx, SO2, Suspended
Particulate matter (SPM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) level.
Water Monitoring
Ground water monitoring locations will be identified and periodical checking of physical,
chemical as well as biological parameters as per drinking water standard IS 10500:2012.
Noise level Monitoring
Monitoring of noise levels 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. Audiometric tests shall
be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. The noise
levels due to machines and equipments will be monitored regularly.
6.3. Monitoring Equipment and Consumables
A well equipped laboratory with consumable items will be provided for monitoring of important
environmental parameters. Alternatively, monitoring can be outsourced from MoEF recognized
laboratory.

CHAPTER 7. RISK ASSESSMENT
7.1. Introduction
This chapter deals with the study of prevention and mitigation of incidents/ accidents which can
lead to personal injuries, damage or loss of property, material plant, equipment and the
environment.
The study is mainly concerned with conducting a risk assessment to identify the hazards and
risks associated with the various activities and to identify and evaluate the control measures to
eliminate/ prevent accidents and loses, and/ or mitigate the risk to minimum acceptable level.
The other aspect considered for the study includes the disaster management plan. Even after
providing all necessary control measures, things may go wrong. The study includes the
conditions, activities, material, manmade or natural, will be considered, which can lead to an
emergency situation. A well defined, disaster management plan will provide awareness and
prompt action by employees to control emergency situation promptly and effectively and will
minimize the losses.
7.1.1. Risk Assessment

Objective of the study
Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) study for M/s. Maruti Polymers has been carried out
based on data provided by M/s. Maruti Polymers.
The main objective of risk assessment- Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is to identify and

7.2.2. Methodology Adopted For Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA)

Failure or ineffectiveness of the controls can lead to hazardous situation in any industry
handling potentially hazardous materials. Following factors govern the severity of consequences
of the loss of containment energy:
 Intrinsic properties: Flammability, instability and toxicity.

 Dispersive energy: pressure, temperature and state of matter
 Quantity present
 Environmental factors; topography and weather
 Handling and storage facilities and procedures
 Awareness, training and Communication
The study has been carried out in accordance with the National and International codes of
practices using Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool (PHAST) software. The latest version
of the renowned PHAST software package of DNV is used for carrying out the risk analysis.
The full terms of potential hazardous scenarios and consequence events associated with the
installation and operation was considered in the analysis.
Based on the operations to be carried at the plant, the Risk Analysis conducted to identify the
affected distances and the damage of property and population from the identified scenarios
considering the Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) & worst case scenario.
Maximum credible loss scenarios have been worked based on the inbuilt safety systems and
protection measures to be provided for the operation of the facility & the worst case scenario
i.e. 100% catastrophic rupture have been worked out based on failure of the inbuilt safety
system.
The worst case scenario assumed as catastrophic rupture, as per the guidelines suggested by
DNV-UK and maximum inventory at the time of failure.
Consequence analysis and calculation are effectively performed by computer software using
models validated over a number of applications. Consequence modelling is carried out by
PHAST (version 6.53) of DNV Software, UK.

EIA Report
PHAST uses the Unified Dispersion Model (UDM) capable of describing a wide range of types
of accidental releases. The Model uses a particularly flexible form, allowing for sharp edged
profiles, which become more diffuse downwind.
PHAST contains data for a large number of chemicals and allows definition of mixtures of any
of these chemicals in the required proportion. The calculations by PHAST involve following
steps for each modelled failure case:
• Run discharge calculations based on physical conditions and leak size.

• Model first stage of release (for each weather category)
• Determine vapour release rate by flashing of liquid and pool evaporation rate.
• Dispersion modelling taking into account weather conditions
• In case of flammable release, calculate size of effect zone for fire and explosion.
• The hazardous materials considered in this study are mostly flammable liquids

7.2.3. Other factors Considered for Risk Assessment

Meteorological Condition
The consequences of released toxic or flammable material are largely dependent on the
prevailing weather conditions. For the assessment of major scenarios involving release of toxic
or flammable materials, the most important meteorological parameters which affect the
atmospheric dispersion of the escaping material include crucial variables such as wind direction,
wind speed, atmospheric stability and temperature. Rainfall does not have any direct bearing
on the results of the risk analysis; however, it can have beneficial effects by absorption/washout
of released materials. Actual behaviour of any release would largely depend on prevailing
weather condition at the time of release.
For the present study we used the meteorological data of the Anand
Atmospheric parameters
The wind speed and wind direction data which have been used for the study is summarized
below:
Wind speed : 1.5 & 5 m/s
Atmospheric Stability: D and F
Weather category
One of the most important characteristics of atmosphere is its stability. Stability of atmosphere
is its tendency to resist vertical motion or to suppress existing turbulence. This tendency directly
influences the ability of atmosphere to disperse pollutants emitted into it from the facilities. In
most dispersion scenarios, the relevant atmospheric layer is that nearest to the ground, varying
in thickness from a few meters to a few thousand meters. Turbulence induced by buoyancy
forces in the atmosphere is closely related to the vertical temperature gradient.
Temperature normally decreases with increasing height in the atmosphere. The rate at which
the temperature of air decreases with height is called Environmental Lapse Rate ((ELR). It will
vary from time to time and from place to place. The atmosphere is said to be stable, neutral or

EIA Report
unstable according to ELR is less than, equal to or greater than Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate
(DALR), which is a constant value of 0.98 ˚C/100 meters.
Pasquill stability parameter, based on Pasquill- Gifford categorization, a meteorological

parameter, describes the stability of atmosphere, i.e., the degree of convective turbulence.
Pasquill has defined six stability classes ranging from ‘A’ (extremely unstable) to ‘F’ (moderately
stable). Wind speeds, intensity of solar radiation (daytime unstable) and night time sky cover
have been identified as prime factors defining these stability categories.
When the atamosphere is unstable and wind speeds are moderate or high or gusty, rapid
dispersion of pollutants will occur. Under these conditions, pollutant concentrations in air will be
moderate or low and the material will be dispersed rapidly.
When the atmosphere is stable and wind speed is low, dispersion of material will be limited and
pollutant concentration in air will be high. In general, worst dispersion conditions (i.e.
contributing to greater hazard distance) occur during low wind speed and very stable weather
conditions.
7.3. Hazards & Damage Criteria of materials
Definitions
Hazards associated with Flammable Chemicals
The release of flammable gas or liquid can lead to different types of fire or explosion scenarios
and will depend on the material released, mechanism of release, temperature and pressure of
the material and the point of ignition. Types of flammable effects are as follows:
Pool Fire
The released flammable material, a liquid stored below its normal boiling point, will collect in a
pooll. The geometry of the pool will be dictated by the surroundings. If the liquid is stored under
pressure above its normal boiling point , then a fraction of the liquid will flash into vapour and
the remaining portion will form a pool in the vicinity of the release point. Once sustained
combustion is achieved , liquid fires quickly reach steady state burning. The hear release rate is
a function of the liquid surface area exposed to air. An confined spill will tend to have thin fuel
depth (typically less than 5 mm) which will result in slower burning rates. A confined spill is
limited by the boundaries ( e.g. a dyked area) and the depth of the resulting pool is greater than
that for an unconfined spill.

EIA Report
Flash Fire:
It occurs when a vapour cloud of flammable material burns. The cloud is typically ignited on the
edge and burns towards the release point. The duration of flash fire is very short (seconds), but
it may continue as jet fire if the release continues. The overpressures generated by the
combustion are not considered significant in terms of damage potential to persons, equipment
or structures. The major hazard from flash fire is direct flame impingement. Typically, the burn
zone is defined as the area the vapour cloud covers out to half of the LFL. This definition
provides a conservative estimate, allowing for fluctuations in modelling. Even where the
concentration may be above the UFL, turbulent induced combustion mixes the material with air
and results in flash fire.
Jet Fire:
Jet flames are characterized as high-pressure release of gas from llimited openings (e.g. due to
small leak in a vessel or broken drain valve). Boiling liquid expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE)
or fireball: A fireball is an intense spherical fire resulting from a sudden release of pressurized
liquid or gas that is immediately ignited. The best known cause of a fireball is a boiling liquid
expanding vapour explosion (BLEVE). Fireball duration is typically 5-20 seconds.
Vapour Cloud Explosion:
When a large quantity of flammable vapour or gas is released, mixes with air to produce
sufficient mass in the flammable range and is ignited, results a vapour cloud explosion ((VCE).
Without sufficient air mixing, a diffusion- controlled fireball may result without significant
overpressures developing. The speed of flame propagation must accelerate as the vapour cloud
burns. Without this acceleration, only a flash fire will result.
7.4. Hazards Associated with explosives chemicals
Damage Criteria
Damage due to thermal radiations and overpressure have been arrived at by taking in to
consideration the published literature on the subject. The consequences are then visualized by
superimposing the damage effects zones on the proposed plan site and identifying the elements
within the project site as well as in the neighbouring environment, which might be a adversely
affected, should one or more hazards materialize.

EIA Report
Thermal damage
The effect of thermal radiation on people is mainly a function of intensity of radiation and
exposure time. The effect is expressed in terms of the probability of death and different degrees
of burn. The following tables give the effect of various levels of heat flux.

EIA Report
Hazards Associated with Toxic Materials
 It is necessary to specify suitable concentration of the toxic substance under study to form
the end point for consequence calculations. American Industrial Hygiene association
(AIHA) has issued Emergency Response Panning Guidelines (EPRG) for many chemicals,
describes the various scenarios:
 EPRG-1 is the maximum air borne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing other than mild
transient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odour.
 EPRG-2 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing
irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms, which could impair an individual’s
ability to take protective action.
 EPRG-3is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all
individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing life-
threatening health effects.
 Toxic limit values as TLV (Threshold Limit Value). STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit),
Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) concentrations are issued by US National
Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH).
 TLV: Threshold Limit Value- is the permitted level of exposure for a given period on a
weighted average basis (usually 8 hours for 5 days in a week)
 STEL: A Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is defined by ACGIH as the concentration to
which workers can be exposed continuously for a short period of time without suffering
from: Irritation
 Chronic or irreversible tissue damage
 Narcosis of sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of accidental injury, impair self-
rescue or materially reduce work efficiency.
 The permitted Short Term Exposure Limit usually have maximum exposure for 15 minute.
 IDLH: IDLH is an acronym for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health. This refers to a
concentration, formally specified by a regulatory value, and defined as the maximum
exposure concentration of a given chemical in the workplace from which one could escape
within 30 minutes without any escape- impairing symptoms or any irreversible health
effects. This value is normally referred to in respirator selection.

7.5. Consequence Analysis
7.5.1. Introduction
The consequence analysis is carried out to determine the extent of spread (dispersion) by
accidental release which may lead to jet fire, pool fire, tank fire resulting into generating heat
radiation, over pressures, explosions etc.
In order to form an opinion on potentially serious hazardous situations and their consequences,
consequence analysis of potential failure scenarios is conducted. It is qualitative analysis of
hazards due to various failure scenarios. In consequence analysis, each failure case is
considered in isolation and damage effects predicted, without taking into the account of the
secondary events or failures it may cause, leading to a major disastrous situation. The results of
consequence analysis are useful in developing disaster management plan and in developing a
sense of awareness among operating and maintenance personnel. It also gives the operating
personnel and population living in its vicinity, an understanding of the hazard they are posed to.

EIA Report
7.5.2. Selected Failure Cases
Earlier, it was the practice to select a particular item in a unit as failure scenario, e.g. rupture of
reactor outlet pipe. Such selection is normally subjective on following parameters:
 Properties of material namely Toxic or Flammable

 The likely severity of consequence in the event of accidental release based on inventory,
operated pressure & operated temperature.
 The probability of failure of various equipments such as valves, flanges, pipe, pressure
vessels etc. Used in the plant.
Size of Release: For accidental releases identified or consequence analysis is 50 mm leakage.

The scenarios are considered to be confined to those equipment failures which involve the
leakage of flammable or toxic products, of which the frequency of occurrence and the severity of
the consequences have been taken into consideration and which may have a low probability of
early detection.
Taking this factor into consideration, a list of selected failure cases was prepared based on
process knowledge, inventory, engineering judgement and experience past incidents associated
with such facilities and considering the general mechanisms for loss of containment. Cases
have been identified for the consequence analysis.
7.5.3. Effect of release

When hazardous material is released to atmosphere due to any reason, a vapour cloud is
formed. Direct cloud formation occurs when a gaseous or flashing liquid escapes to the
atmosphere.
 Dispersion of hydrocarbon on vapour with wind till it reaches its lower flammability limit
(LFL) or finds a source of ignition before reaching LFL, which will result in a flash fire or
explosion.
 Spillage of liquid hydrocarbons will result in a pool of liquid, which will evaporate taking
heat from the surface, forming a flammable atmosphere above it. Ignition of this pool will
result in pool fire causing thermal radiation hazards.
 A fireball or BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) occurs when a vessel
containing a highly volatile liquid ( e.g. LPG, Propylene etc.) fails and the released large
mass of vapour cloud gets ignited immediately. It has damage potential due to high
intensity of radiation and generation of the overpressure waves, causing large scale
damage to nearby equipment and structures.

EIA Report
 Catastrophic failure of tanks/ pressurized vessels, rotary equipment and valves etc. Can
result in equipment fragments flying and hitting other equipment of the plant.
 Release of toxic compounds results in the toxic vapour cloud travelling over long
distances, affecting a large area, before its gets sufficiently diluted to harmless
concentration in the atmosphere.
 The material is in two phases inside the containment- liquid & vapour. Depending on the
location of the leak liquid or vapour will be released from the containment. If vapour is
released a vapour cloud will form by the mixing of the vapour and air. The size of the
vapour cloud will depend on the rate of release, wind speed; wind direction &
atmospheric stability will determine the dispersion and movement of the vapour cloud.
 If liquid is released there will be some flashing as the boiling point of liquid is below the
ambient temperature. The vapour formed by immediate flashing will behave as vapour
release. The liquid will fall on the ground forming a pool. There will be vaporization from
the pool due to the heat gained from the atmosphere & ground.
 There will be dispersion and movement of vapour cloud formed by evaporation of liquid.
The behaviour of material released by loss of containment depends on the following factors:
• Physical properties of the material
• Conditions of material in containment (pressure and temperature)
• Phase of material released (liquid or gas)
• Inventory of material released
• Weather parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric stability)
• Material with boiling point below ambient condition

7.6. Disaster Management Plan
7.6.1. Introduction to Disaster Management Plan

The various controls including engineering, procedural and administrative are provided to
control the manufacturing activities at the industries; however things may go wrong even with
the best arrangements. The Disaster Management Pan is prepared to control and minimize the
effect of any emergency which may occur within the industrial premises affecting the employees
or the people in the surrounding; it may also affect the environment.
The disaster/emergency may arise as a natural calamity such as floods, earthquakes, etc. or
may be a Man-made Disaster such as a leakage/ Spillage of Hazardous chemicals/ Gases or
Fire and Explosion.
A Disaster Management Plan is an action plan drawn to fix responsibility and actions to be
taken by various groups to contain the disaster/emergency incident within shortest possible time
and with minimum losses to people, material, property and environment.
It is the responsibility of the establishment/industry that the disaster/emergency plan is widely

circulated for benefit/training of all the employees within the premises and the individuals
residing in the surrounding areas of the premises. It is the responsibility of all the individuals in
their respective areas to ensure the success of this plan.
7.6.2. Objective
The main objectives of preparing the On Site / Off Site Emergency Plan are:
1. To define and assess emergencies, including risk and environmental impact assessment.
2. To establish the procedures to handle emergency situation that may arise due to spillage
and fire while handling plant & equipment.
3. To control and contain incidents within shortest possible time and to restore normalcy.
4. To safeguard employees and people in vicinity and to minimize damage/loss to property

or/and the environment.
5. To inform employees, the general public and the authority about the hazards/risks
assessed, safeguards provided, residual risk if any and the role to be played by them in
the event of emergency.

EIA Report
6. To be ready for 'mutual aid' if need is arise to help neighbouring unit. Normal jurisdiction
of an OEP is the own premises only, but looking to the time factor in arriving the external
help or off-site plan agency; the jurisdiction must be extended outside to the extent
possible in case of emergency occurring outside.
7. To establish procedures to appraise District Administration / Civil authorities/ and mutual

aid centres etc. in order to ensure prompt relief for execution of Emergency Response
Plan.
8. To secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas and to restore normalcy.
9. To provide authoritative information to the news media.
10. To preserve records, equipments etc., and to organize investigation into the cause of the
emergency and preventive measures to stop its recurrence.
11. To ensure safety of the works before personnel re-enter and resume work.
12. To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to provide for emergency
preparedness and the periodical rehearsal of the plan.
7.6.3. Definition
An emergency could be defined as any situation which presents a threat to safety of persons
or/and property. It may require outside help also.
A major emergency occurring at a work is one which may affect one or several sections of the
plant and possibly extend beyond the factory boundaries that may cause serious injuries, loss
of life, and extensive damage to property or serious disruption outside the works. It will require
the use of outside resources to handle it effectively.
Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day-to-day patterns of life are, in many
instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and as a
result need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life,
such as -
(1) Disasters resulting from natural phenomena like earthquakes volcanic eruptions, storm,
surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, landslides, forest fires and massive insect
infestation. Also in this group, violent drought which will cause a creeping disaster landing
to famine, disease and death must be included.

EIA Report
(2) Second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man's impact upon
the environment, such as armed conflict, industrial accidents, factory fires, explosions and
escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other structural
collapses; air, sea, rail and road transport accidents, aircraft crashes, collisions of vehicles
carrying inflammable liquids, oil spills at sea, and dam failures.
The on-site emergency plan deals with measures to prevent and control emergencies within
the factory and not affecting outside public or environment.
The off-site emergency plan will deal with measures to prevent and control emergencies
affecting public and the environment outside the premises. The manufacturer should provide
the necessary information on the nature, extent and likely effects of such incidents.
7.6.4. Level of disasters
The NDMA Guidelines categorize the levels of disasters, based on the ability of various
authorities to deal with them. In order to facilitate the responses and assistances to States and
Districts, the levels of disasters have been defined as follows.
1. L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring, documentation,
prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals,
evaluation and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out during this
time.
2. L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the State
and Centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed.
3. L2 level disaster situations are those which require assistance and participation of State,
mobilization of its resources for management of resources.
4. L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and District
authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central Government
for reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue, relief, other
response and recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity of the disaster
as determined by the concerned technical agencies like Indian meteorological department
(IMD)/ Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) are sufficient for
the declaration of L3 disaster.

EIA Report
7.7. Scope
The M/s Maruti Polymers Incorporation has prepared Disaster Management Plan in order to
provide proper guidance to plant operating personnel to confidently handle any accidental
spillage or fire / explosion / bursting of vessel/tank or any natural calamity or sabotage.
With this objective comprehensive information has been gathered and analyzed on the resins
handling plant and equipment which includes the hazardous properties of materials/chemicals,
fire hazards, safety appliances, safety measures incorporated in the plant, emergency
procedures and finally regarding the constitution & responsibility of Emergency Rescue Team
(Emergency Response & Management Team / Task Force).
The potential hazards which may cause emergency includes:
 Chemical Fire / Explosion in the plant or storage area
 Electrical Fire in the plant or storage area.
 Accidental spillages and leakages during handling of material and plant / equipment
failure causing severe health hazard due to employees exposure to the hazardous
substances.
7.7.1. Methodology
A major emergency occurring at a plant is one that may cause serious injuries, loss of life,
extensive damage to property or environment or serious disruption inside or outside the plants.
This may demand the rescue and relief measures on a war footing to handle it effectively and
quickly. Within the high-risk technology industries, the need for well-planned measures should
be self-evident.
No matter how well a process is controlled and safeguarded by instruments and process safety
procedures, it is inevitable that there is a residual risk, which is capable of causing a variety of
emergencies.
The Disaster Management Plan describes the Organization & procedures for dealing with
potential accidents arising from the operations of M/s. Maruti Polymer Incorporation.
Experiences of accidents that have occurred in various other similar plants were considered in
the preparation of DMP especially storing & handling the materials identical to this plant. This

EIA Report
plan will need periodic review & modification following emergency exercise, or include any new
information relating to changes to the facilities.
The Factories Act, 1948 as amended in the year 1987 under section 41B requires that every
occupier shall draw up a Disaster Management Plan and detailed disaster control measures for
his plant and make them know to the employees and to the general public living in the vicinity
of the plant.
Its objective is to reduce the severity of loss following particular hazardous incidents. At the
same time, it must be clearly understood that it is not a substitute for maintaining good
standards for working consistence with the requirements of safety and health inside the plants.
7.8. Information on risk evaluation preliminary hazard analysis
The DMP is needed to respond to a variety of emergencies / disasters:
i) Disasters due to emergency on account of:
a. Fire or Explosion
b. Electrical Fire
c. Spillages and Leakages
d. Fire or explosion: The organization is storing &handlingflammable chemicalswhich

can ignite if exposed to source of heat / ignition. The various sources of heat / ignition
include hot work, mechanical frictions, naked flames, static electricity, hot surfaces etc.
e. Electrical Fire: The Electrical fire may be caused due to generation of static charge
during charging of materials. The other reasons for fire include use of faulty or
inappropriate electrical equipment, transformers, DG sets etc. Also dry grass is
normally avoided in the premises and it will be ensured that there is no grass (dry) at
any point of time by ensuring better housekeeping
f. Spillages and Leakages: During handling of material and plant / equipment failure
causing severe health hazard due to employees exposure to the hazardous
substances. Spillages and leakages of flammable substances may also lead to fire.

EIA Report
ii) Disaster due to natural calamities such as:
a. Flood
b. Earth quake
c. Cyclone/Storm
d. Heat Wave
a. Flood:
The nearest water body from the facility are Mahi River (approx. 1.05km in N direction). The
heavy rainfall and water released from the Dam may increase water level in the river bed
creating flood situation.
Four villages of Anand district were inundated while around 100 villagers of 13 villages
have been re-located to safer spots in the villages following discharge of 1.43 lakh cusecs
water from the Dharoi dam into Sabarmati River.
b. Earthquake:
It is found that the district falls in the seismic zone 3.
c. Storm/Cyclone:
Cyclones make impact by killing people, damaging property, crops and infrastructure.
The area falls under category in which wind of 1-35 KMH air blown. So the chances are
there for storm & cyclone
d. Heat Wave:
The Anand region experienced the heat wave in the past history. Also it was observed
that the Anand Divisions comes under vulnerable area.

EIA Report
iii) Disaster due to external factors such as:
a. Sabotage, Civil Riots or War, Terrorism: No solution can be offered to eliminate

either terrorist threats or planted bombs, but one can be well or badly prepared to cope
with them when such incidents happen. It is essential for organizations to design and
implement both good physical security and a comprehensive bomb threat response
plan.
The action plan responding to an emergency situation depends very much on the level
of the emergency which, itself is defined by the consequences arising from the types of
hazard identified.
RECOMMENDATIONS
Flood:
• Introduce better flood warning systems

• Modify homes and businesses to help them withstand floods nearby river side.
• Construct buildings above flood levels
• Protect wetlands and introduce plant trees strategically
• Put up more flood barriers.
Earthquake:
• Find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.
• Don’t Rush Indoors
• Stay Put remain there until the earth stops shaking
• Remain Calm until the earth stops shaking
Cyclone/Storm:
• Immediately call ambulance & NDRF team.

• Provide shelter for the victims and provide first aid on site.
• Survey site and remove people from covered collapse material.

CHAPTER 9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

9.1 Prelude
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
analysed and potential impacts on those components due to the proposed project are
document. The impacts on environment are found to be minimal during the study; however
additional measures are documented for operation phase for further improvement of
Environmental Quality in the form of an Environmental management plan (EMP).
9.1.1. 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 i health, safety & environment.
• Continual improvements in safety, health and environment shall be recognized as
essential for the future success of the company.

EIA Report
9.2. The Environmental Management Plan

An environmental Management Plan is prepared to mitigate and manage various
environmental impacts identified. The EMP presents the project specific guidelines on:
• Environmental management strategies

• Specialized engineering construction procedures in relation to environmental guidelines
of the country
• Spill prevention and control
• Management of wastes and hazardous chemicals
• Air, water and soil quality protection
• Noise control
• Soil erosion control and slope stabilization
• Vegetation, wildlife and habitat protection
• Socio – economic and welfare considerations
• Risk and disaster management plan
• To prepare a checklist for statutory compliance
Due to its complexity and implications, the implementation of the EMP must be executed
utilizing a specific EMS framework. Once an EMP has been approved, it should provide the
basis for environmental considerations of all the activities carried out on the site by the
appointed personnel.
With respect to the various environmental impacts identified during the EIA stage, mitigation
measures to prevent or minimize the impacts are suggested for all the environmental
components.
The environmental management plan for the proposed project aims to mitigate the potentially
detrimental impacts on the environment, both during construction and operation phases of the
project. It is also necessary that continued compliance with existing environmental regulations
is ensured. The construction and associated activities have been planned so as to minimize
impacts on the physical, biological and socio economic cultural environments. Even though it
be would naïve to expect that all detrimental impacts can be avoided, it is apparent that most of
the impacts will be localized and temporary in nature.

EIA Report
9.2.1. Objectives of Environmental Management Plan

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 improve workplace conditions for employees by reducing every kind of pollution and

9.4.10. 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.
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.
Greenbelt Area Details
Greenbelt will be developed in 404.2 (33%) 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 greenbelt development should be selected based on the
following characteristics:
• It will have thick canopy cover

• They will be perennial and evergreen
• They will have high sink potential for pollutants
• They will 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 45cm x 45cm x 45 cm or 60cm x 60cmx 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 45 cm x 45cm x 45 cm x and 60cm x 60cm
x 60cm size pits respectively. Healthy saplings of identified species should be planted in each
pit.

Findings:
From the foregoing sections it is clear that environmental considerations are foremost during
development of the project, at all the following levels:
• Project sitting
• Planning and design
• Project construction
• Post project operations
The following findings are to be mentioned:
• The project will have no significant environmental impacts during construction and
operations.
• The environmental and safety aspects of the Project are straight forward and well
understood

EIA Report
• A detailed environmental impact study is carried out and EMP. No further studies are
required to elaborate these subjects.
The EMP also provides for establishing, and maintaining a system of environmental monitoring
and auditing to ensure strict compliance of all the measures identified in the EMP, and
minimize adverse environmental and social impacts. Suitable provisions related to
environmental management will also be made in the construction contract agreement.
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, storm water management 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.

EIA Report
CHAPTER 10. CONCLUSION
The present report is based on the work carried out by M/s. Green Circle Inc. Baseline data
collection carried out by them only. The EIA report contains in depth study on Environmental
quality and Environmental Management Plan to mitigate the impacts including Risk
Assessment and Disaster Management Plan. The project is technically, environmentally and
socio economically viable and is beneficial at local level, state level and national level.
The project M/s. Maruti Polymers seems to be safety conscious and aware about impacts of
industrial projects and is environmental friendly.
We may conclude as under:
• The project proponent will follow all the statutory norms and guidelines as per EPA,
1986 to safe guard environment.
• Waste water generated from the proposed project will be sent to proposed ETP and the
after treatment the waste water will be used for cooling towers. Sewage will be
disposed off into Septic tank.
• Ambient Air Quality of the project site are concerned viz. SPM (PM10 & PM2.5), SO2
and NOx, their concentrations in the ambient air at the proposed site were found within
prescribed limits.
• The operational phase noise shall be within industrial premises which will not exceed 75
dB (A).
• No significant impact is seen on flora and fauna.
• The project will generate employment opportunities during construction stage and also
at operational stage. The standard of living of local people due to employment is likely
to be better, so we may say that it is positive socio economic impact. The region will get
economic boost.
Overall, the project will have positive impact for socio economic and cultural development.
