2. AIR ENVIRONMENT
The base line Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) status within 10 km study area has been assessed
through a monitoring network of 8 AAQ sampling stations during March, 2019 to May, 2019.
Design of network for Ambient Air Quality monitoring locations were decided on
meteorology & available infrastructure facilities. The base-line Ambient Air Quality of the
study area was monitored for Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and
Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2), CO & VOC. The result for the same is given as below:

Note: CO: Not Detected; VOC: Not Detected
Analysis of ambient air samples revealed that the Air quality is found well within the
prescribed limits of National Ambient Air Quality standards.
The main source of gaseous emission is flue gas emission from stack attached to TFH.
Diesel will be used as a fuel & total fuel requirement for proposed project will be 0.5
MT/Day. Adequate stack height will be provided for proper atmosphere dispersion of
pollutants. The probable emitted pollutants will be PM, SO2& NO2. Cyclone separator will be
provided with stack attached to TFH as APCM. Since HSD is used as a fuel for D. G. Set
(back–up system) the flue gas emission will also be well within prescribed norms and there is
no need of any air pollution control measures for D. G. Set.
3. WATER ENVIRONMENT
Analysis of ground water and surface water samples revealed that it is suitable for domestic
activity including agricultural activity. Ground water quality in the area meets the Water
Quality Standards (IS 10500) for drinking water except for parameters like Magnesium, TDS
and Total Hardness whereas surface water quality in the area meets the Water Quality
Standards (IS 10500) for drinking water except for parameters like Chloride , Total Hardness,
Calcium, Magnesium, BOD , pH and TDS.
A. Water Requirement
The total fresh water requirement for the proposed project will be 3.88 kl/day. Out of this said
fresh water quantity 0.4 kl/day will be used for domestic purpose, 1.25 kl/day will be used for
industrial activities and 2.23 kl/day will be used for greenbelt development purpose. The
required water will be obtained through Borewell.
B. Wastewater Generation and its Disposal
The total generation of domestic wastewater will be 0.36 kl/day. The domestic wastewater
generated will be sent to soak pit via septic tank.
The total industrial effluent generation will be 0.61 kl/day, which will be from cooling tower
blow down, process and washing. Industrial effluent will be collected in Collection cum
Neutralization Tank for neutralizing the effluent characteristics. After completion of
neutralization treatment, effluent will be taken to Nutch filter/Filter Press for sludge
separation. Separated dried sludge will be collected, stored and disposed of at approved
TSDF site. Filtrate water from Filter Press will be taken in the holding tank and then effluent
will be evaporated using Evaporator through heat energy. Therefore, no effluent will be
generated and the stated process would be a ZERO DISCHARGE process.

4. LAND / SOIL ENVIRONMENT
During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid waste pollution on soil causes
direct / indirect effect on soil.
As all necessary air pollution control steps are provided and based on the results of the
dispersion model for the Ground Level Concentrations of various pollutants after proposed
project, there will not be any adverse impact of air pollution on soil.
It may be noted that there will be no disposal of untreated effluent on land. So, there will be
no adverse effect on land / soil due to water.
All necessary control steps are provided for handling, storage and disposal of solid/hazardous
waste generated from the plant. Thus, there will not be any significant impact of
solid/hazardous waste on the soil environment.
5. NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Noise level was recorded at 8 locations within the study area to provide the baseline data to
describe the existing situations.

The minimum noise level measured in the study area was 41.7 dB (A) in day time at
Khakhrala village and 36.9 dB (A) at Khakhrala village in night time. The maximum noise
level measured in the study area was 73.2 dB (A) in daytime at Project Site and 68.6 dB (A)
in night time at Project site. The noise levels (Leq) of the residential area within the impact
zone varied from 51.9 – 67.7 dB (A) in the day time and 41.1 – 61.9 dB (A) in the night time.

6. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
An assessment of socio-economic environment forms an integral part of an EIA study. Socio-
economic environment – demographic & related socio-economic data was collected from
District Census Handbook to assess socio-economic status of the study area.
For proposed project activity, total 6 nos. of skilled and unskilled employees/workers will be
required. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers
and other casual employment for many people.
Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs in the plant.
Economic status of the local people will improve due to the increased business opportunities,
thereby, making a positive impact. Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study
area will considerably improve.
7. ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY

EB study reported a total of 130 plant species, 7 herpetofauna, 38 birds and 6 species of
mamamals from the buffer zone of Niser Industies. However, no threatened biodiversity
reported with highest density or richness from the core and buffer zones of the study area.
In addition, no true multi species forest type was recorded in the vicinity of the two-five
kilometer radius in and around the project site. It clearly indicates the low productive
potential of the terrestrial ecosystem. Since the project associated activities do not required
any additional land, the terrestrial ecosystem is considerably free from the project related
impacts.
8. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The main hazardous waste generation will be ETP Sludge + Evaporation Residue, Used Oil
and Discarded Plastic Bags/Drums.
ETP Sludge + Evaporation Residue will be disposed off at approved TSDF site. Used Oil will
be reused within premises as a lubricant or sold to registered recycler. Discarded Plastic
Bags/Drums will be sold to authorized vendor.
The unit will provide isolated area for the storage of hazardous waste. Thus, hazardous waste
management system provided by the unit will be adequate and there will not be any major
impact on the environment due to hazardous waste.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
An Environmental Management Plan has been prepared for mitigation of the adverse
impacts. The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management’s plan for
proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for pollutants and for
maintaining the environment. It also include development of green belt, proper safety of
workers, environmental monitoring plan, rain water harvesting, fire protection system and

NABET Accredited 5
measures etc. An Environmental Management Cell will be formed for effective

implementation of Environmental Management Plan.
10. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM
Monitoring of environmental factors will enable us to identify the changes in the

environmental impacts at various locations and their mitigative measures. To ensure the
effective implementation of the EMP, monitoring of ambient air quality, stack emissions,
analysis & monitoring of water environment and noise level will be carried out as required /
specified by statutory authority.
11. RISK ASSESSMENT
Risk analysis and study have been carried out for identification of hazards, selection of
maximum credible scenarios, risk mitigation measures etc. All the hazardous chemicals will
be stored and handled as per MSDS guidelines. Personal protective equipment’s will be
provided to the workers.
12. GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

A greenbelt of approximately 742 m2 will be developed within the project site to minimize
the air pollution, noise pollution, balancing eco-environment, soil erosion / protection etc.
Greenbelt area is 37.66 % of the total plot area.
13. PROJECT BENEFITS
The proposed project will become beneficial to the surrounding area or community in terms
of infrastructural development, social development, employment and other benefits.
The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled
employees during operation phase. A total of 6 persons are likely to get employment due to
the proposed project. The project gives 2% of project cost for socio-economic development
activities in surrounding villages which will be continued further.
14. CONCLUSION
 Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air pollution
control measures will be provided.
 No ecological damage will occur.
 No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.
 Local employment opportunities will increase.
 Various other environment parameters like Forest/ National Park/ Sanctuary and
Religious / Historical Places will not be affected.

NABET Accredited 6
 Environment Management Plan has been formulated to control all the pollutant
parameters and Environment Management Cell will be set-up to ensure that these
parameters do not exceed the norms set out by the concerned authorities.
 After commissioning of the proposed project, the Environmental Management Cell
will take care of all the pollution control measures.
It can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation
measures and environmental management plan during the construction & operational phase,
there will be negligible impact on the environment due to the proposed project.

1.2 Purpose of the EIA Report
The products like Phenol Formaldehyde Resin, Urea Formaldehyde Resin and Unsaturated
Polyester Resin are newly proposed products (all being synthetic organic chemicals) and fall
under Category 5(f) as stated in Environment Impact Assessment Notification Published on 14 th
September, 2006. Further, the location of proposed project is outside the notified industrial
estate and it does not fall in Small Unit criteria as per the Notification dated 25th June 2014. As a
part of this procedure, Public Hearing is also required to be carried out as per the notification
dated 25th June, 2014. Hence, project proponent has to obtain the Environmental Clearance
from the Ministry of Environment, Forests & Climate Change (MoEF&CC), New Delhi.
As per the requirements of the notification, an application was submitted to Ministry of

Environment, Forests & Climate Change on 14th February, 2019 along with Form-1, Pre-
Feasibility Report and draft Terms of Reference (TOR). MoEF&CC has issued the TOR vide letter
no. J-11011/52/2019-IA-II(I) dated 24th March, 2019 (Attached as Annexure – 1). Based on
the TOR letter issued by MoEF&CC, an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report has been
prepared covering all aspects of the TOR.
The purpose of the preparation of Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) report is not only to
obtain Environment Clearance from Ministry of Environment Forests & Climate Change, New

Delhi, but also to understand the likely impacts and to take Environment
Protection/Management measures during and after commissioning of the project.

1.4 Need of the Project and its Importance to the Country

Resins are used predominantly in the wood based product manufacturing industry as adhesives.
Growth of the resin market is strongly correlated to construction/remodeling activity (which
accounts for over 50% of consumption), and to a lesser degree, to the automotive industry.
Phenol formaldehyde resin and urea formaldehyde resin are mainly used as wood adhesives, in
foundry, molding and laminated/decorated sheets1. Unsaturated polyester resins are used
predominantly in making trays, shower stalls, boats, swimming pool, water tanks, etc.
Unsaturated polyester resin is the largest consumed resin, representing 83% of total Indian
composites market. The total estimated consumption of UPR in India for the composite markets
was around 1,55,210 MT in 20182.
In India, good quality raw materials are available at cheap rates, enabling the manufacturing at
low cost. This increases the profit margin as compared to other players in the world. To meet
the current and future market demand, the project proponent intends to start a new unit.
Looking to the market demand, the proposed project is feasible at stated location.
The burgeoning market demands of urban and semi-urban India are estimated at Rs. 5 Lakh
Crore. The demand-supply gap has already attracted foreign players to India; and the e-retailing
boom offers immense business opportunities. But a mere 15% of India's polymer industry is
organized. Its semi-skilled decorators, self-styled interior decorators and small-scale local
1
https://www.marketsandmarkets.com/Market-Reports/phenolic-resin-market
2
http://icerpshow.com/about-icerp/indian-composites-industry-outlook/

manufacturers need to be trained and organized to meet future market demands and exploit
business opportunities.
Indian polymer resin trade has become global place as the consumption of different imported
plastics or fiber plastics are on the rise. Unlike before, Indians are now welcomed by polymer
resin manufacturers of china. Earlier India was a self-dependent country for commercial or high
quality polymer resins, but sharp drop in domestic manufacturing output has resulted in
material sourcing from countries like Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, China, Vietnam etc. Now
Indian polymer market is somehow curtailed or competed by incoming polymer products from
China. Be it film face, decorative, laminate or everything is now being imported partially or
more and is sold. Indian industrialist must understand the fact that it’s no more a regional shift,
it is a global shift. Indian technology should be upgraded an updated at par with international
standards.
The global phenolic resin market was USD 11.30 billion in 2016, and is projected to reach USD
15.01 billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 5.8% during the forecast period. Advanced properties and
increasing demand from tire industry is expected drive the market during the forecast period.
Growth of automotive industry, building & construction industry, furniture market will
generate the great export markets for Indian resin manufacturing units. Also, growth of
applications such as wood adhesives, foundry, molding, laminates and insulation is expected to
offer lucrative opportunities. But as liquid resins are quite expensive for export, we have only
local sale market for distribution.

Manufacturing processes of Phenol Formaldehyde Resin, Urea Formaldehyde Resin and

Unsaturated Polyester Resin including their reaction chemistry, mass balance and process flow
diagram are described here below:
2.6.1 Phenol Formaldehyde Resin
A. Brief Process of Synthesis

 Take required quantity of Phenol, Formaldehyde (37%) and Caustic Soda in the reaction
vessel and start steam heating until the temperature reaches at 58 °C to 60 °C.
 Temperature will increase up to 90 °C. Once the temperature reaches up to 90 °C, cut the
steam supply. Reflux process will start at this point to achieve required water tolerance.
 After achieving required water tolerance, start cooling to decrease temperature up to 60
°C. Once the temperature is reached at 60 °C, stop cooling and start heating for distillation
process for required quantity of resin.
 After achieving required amount of resins start cooling to obtain final product. Final
product will be checked for the properties like viscosity, pH, gel time etc.

D. Route of Synthesis

2.6.2 Urea Formaldehyde Resin

 The polymerization reaction of Urea Formaldehyde Resin takes places in two stages. The
first stage is an addition polymerization in which Urea & Formaldehyde (37%) undergo
addition reaction, which takes place in neutral or slightly alkaline condition (i.e., pH – 7.5
to 8.0) at elevated temperature (i.e., 95 °C to 100°C).
 Methyl Urea formed in the first stage is allowed to reach further by lowering the pH (i.e., 4
to 6) by addition of acetic acid where reaction takes place faster and leads to the
formation of long chain polymer.
 The mixture is heated at a temperature between 80 ˚C and the reflux temperature,
preferably for 15 minutes to 1 hour.
 The reaction is allowed to proceed further keeping the temperature at or above 80 ˚C for
achieving the desired viscosity and the reaction is arrested midway by raising the pH of
the resin solution to 7.5 to 8.0 by adding the caustic soda and then the reaction is cooled
down to the room temperature and stored in sealed container.
 Check viscosity, tolerance, pH, gel time of the required batch of the resin.

2.6.3 Unsaturated Polyester Resin

Method – 1 (Using Poly Ethylene Terephthalate as main Raw Material)
 A mixture of 1 mole Poly Ethylene Terephthalate (PET) & 1.5 moles Propylene Glycol is
fed to a reactor equipped with stirrer, thermometer and nitrogen gas introducing tube
with condenser.
 The mixture is mechanically stirred and heated to 150 ˚C to 170 ˚C under nitrogen gas
stream. When reaction mass become clear, it is allowed to cool at room temperature and
then 0.6 mole Maleic Anhydride (MA) is added and continuously heated up to 200 ˚C – 210
˚C until an acid number reaches below 10.
 During esterification reaction water is formed as a part of reaction, which is continuously

removed from the reaction mass as it inhibits the reaction rate.
 Then the produced unsaturated polyester resin is cooled to 160 ˚C. Then add 50 mg of
Hydroquinone as inhibitor. When resin temperature is dropped below the boiling point of
reactive diluent (i.e. Styrene), the polyester resins are mixed with Styrene. This mixture is
ready for packing.

 The mixture will be mechanically stirred and heated to 150 °C under nitrogen gas stream.
When reactor mass become clear, it will be allowed to cool below 60 °C or room
temperature and then 0.9 mole Maleic Anhydride (MA) will be fed and continuously
heated to 200 °C – 210 °C until an acid number reaches below 10.
 During esterification reaction, water is formed as a part of reaction and is continuously

removed from the reaction mass as it inhibits the reaction rate.
 Then the produced unsaturated polyester resin is cooled to 160 °C. Then add 150 mg of
Hydroquinone as inhibitor. When resin temperature dropped below the boiling point of
reactive diluent (i.e. Styrene), the polyester resins were mixed with Styrene by 30 to 35

2.9.4 Noise & Vibration
There is no identified source of noise and vibration from the manufacturing activity except plant
machineries. However, unit will take following adequate precautionary measures for noise and
vibration control;
 All the vibrating parts will be checked periodically and serviced to reduce the noise
generation. The equipment, which generates excessive noise, will be provided with
enclosures.
 Proper and timely oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance is carried out for the
machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.
 Ear muffs/ earplugs will also be provided to the workers if working under high noise
area to minimize the adverse effect on the health.
 To reduce the noise generation during the transportation activities; the transport
contractor will be instructed to keep vehicle periodically serviced and maintained as per
the requirement of latest trend in automobile industry. Only those vehicles with PUC’s
will be allowed for the transportation.
 The transport contractor will also be informed to avoid unnecessary speeding of vehicles
inside the premises.
 Noise monitoring will be done regularly at prominent places in the plant.
2.9.5 Odor Control Plan
Odor can be defined as “perception of smell”. Odorous substances emitted from industrial
sources can be due to both inorganic and organic gases and particulates. Many odorous
compounds result from process activities. There exists perceived connection between odors and
their health effects. Thus, it is important to propose mitigation measures for minimizing odor
nuisance. [2] Odor sources due to proposed project are given in the Table 2-20.

Table 2-20 Details of Probable Odor Sources & Control Measures

Probable Odor Sources Control Measures
Emissions from formaldehyde storage area Ensuring that storage tanks are always in
closed condition and it is transferred to
process area through leak proof pipelines.
Wastewater treatment plant Ensuring that the operation is being/will be
carried out under the best management
practices.
Emissions from resin storage areas Ensuring that resins are stored in closed tanks
and suction hoods are provided above the
resin storage tanks.

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
3.1 Introduction
Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) report requires identifying potential

environmental impacts due to the proposed project and that needs a datum on which the impact
identification can be done. For generating baseline conditions, it is necessary to collect primary and
secondary data for different environmental components like air, noise, water, land, socio-economic
factors, ecology & biodiversity which will be affected by the operation of any project activity.
The objective of establishing baseline conditions is “To compile authentic and relevant information
on the environmental components in the study area, which are likely to undergo change due to the
project-related activities in both the short as well as long term and have potential of causing
environmental impacts.” This necessitates ensuring focus on capturing the information which is
relevant, appropriate, authentic and credible.
The elaborate monitoring for generating baseline scenario is generally preceded by a well-planned
desk work and reconnaissance survey of the study area by the concerned functional professionals
in consultation with the EIA team leader and proper documentation of the observations/findings.
An effective methodology is important for baseline data collection and impacts prediction to
develop an efficient Environmental Management Plan. In this regard, it is important to understand
the ground realities of the core zone and buffer zone by the experts involved in baseline studies.
The team of experts visited the proposed project site to understand the site surrounding and
possible impacts from the activities of the proposed project. The EIA coordinators in consultation
with the respective functional area experts selected the sampling locations as per the TOR
prescribed by the MoEF&CC. An attempt has been made to collect the relevant and authentic
information about existing environmental conditions concerning the below mentioned six major
environmental attributes:
 Air Environment
 Noise Environment
 Water Environment
 Soil, Landscape and Visual Environment
 Ecological Environment
 Social Environment
Subsequently, the field monitoring was undertaken during March to May, 2019 by the team of T. R.
Associates’ Laboratory. The collected data are analyzed and interpreted. The same is represented
below under various sections.

3.1.1 Baseline Study Area
To carry out Environment Baseline Monitoring and to generate baseline environmental data, study
area of 10 km radial distance from proposed project site has been selected. Base line data of
ambient air quality, water quality, land use & land cover, topography, ecology as well as socio
economic status was collected for study area of 10 km.
3.1.2 Methodology of Baseline Study
For the generation of baseline data, guidelines proposed by MoEF&CC as well as specific TORs
issued by MoEF&CC has been taken into consideration. Relevant secondary data available for
different environmental components were collected and analyzed.
Baseline planning has been described in Table 3-1 in brief.

3.2 Air Environment
Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere have significant impacts on the
neighborhood air environment of an industrial project and forms an important part of impact
assessment studies. The ambient air quality status with respect to the study area of 10 km radius
from the plant site will form the baseline information over which the predicted impacts due to the
proposed plant can be super imposed to find out the net (final) impacts on air environment. From
the final impacts a viable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be prepared based on the
impact statement for the air environment. The baseline status of the ambient air quality can be
assessed thorough scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of
monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has to be based on the following
considerations:
 Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale.
 Topography of the study area.
 Representation of regional background levels.
 Representation of plant site.
 Representation of cross sectional distribution in the downwind direction.
 Inclusion of major distinct villages to generate the baseline status.
