The Layout has an approach road of width 12m from the existing public road.
The main roads within the layout of sizes 80’ and 60’roads are designed. The length of
80’ road is 1.345km and 40’road is 1.137km.
Cycle Track:
A cycle track is a way or a part of a roadway designed and constructed for the use of
pedal bicycles, and over which a right-of-way exists.
Adjoining cycle tracks:
These completely fit in with the carriage way and are adjacent to and on the same level
with it.
Ref: Recommended practice for the design and layout of cycle tracks –IRC: 11-1962
Lane width:
Allowing for a clearance of 25cm (9in) on either side, the total width of pavement
required for the movement of one cycle is one meter (3ft 3in).
Pedestrain Path:
Roadway and sidewalk construction projects can disrupt mobility and create special
hazards for pedestrians and cyclists. The following are the recommendations
Enough space should be left at the edge of the construction site to allow a vehicle to
pass a cyclist.

Barricades and pylons can be used to create a temporary passageway for pedestrians.
This is particularly important in urban areas. Sidewalk closures should be avoided or
minimized as much as possible. Passageway should be wide enough to accommodate a
wheel chair, and should have ramps where there are height changes.

avoid choking of the recharge bore. Design specification of the rain water harvesting plan
are as follows:
Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning
The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be damaged
allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting has been avoided since most
paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.
All gutter ends will be fitted with a wire mesh screen and a first flush device would be
installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves, plastic bags
and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and to prevent
contamination by ensuring that the runoff from the first 10-20minutes of rainfall is
flushed off.
No sewage or sullage would be admitted into the system
No sullage from areas likely to have oil, grease or other pollutants has been connected to
the system.

3.1.2 Climatic Conditions:
The average annual rainfall of the district is 1131mm, monthly rainfall ranges from nil in
January to 209.7mm in September.
3.1.3 Meteorology:
Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere has significant impacts
on neighborhood air environment. The dispersion/dilution of the released pollutant over a
large area will result in considerable reduction of the concentration of a pollutant. The
dispersion in turn depends on the weather conditions like the wind speed, direction,
temperature, relative humidity, mixing height, cloud cover and also the rainfall in the
area.

3.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Selection of Sampling Locations: To assess the baseline ambient air quality a
scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network was established. Air
quality monitoring study was carried out during Pre-monsoon season (i.e. April’16 to
June’16) within 10km radius of the project site. The ambient air quality monitoring
stations were selected after a brief study based on the following considerations
Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale
Topography of the study area
Predominant wind direction
Emission sources
Receptors sensitivity
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations were set up at four locations with due
consideration to the above mentioned points. The locations of the sampling stations are
given in the Table.3.2
Frequency of Sampling: 24 hrly samples for PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx, were collected from
each station.

3.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
3.5.1. Identification of Sampling Locations
Noise at different generating sources has identified based on the activities in the village
area and the noise at sensitive areas. A detailed survey on noise environment was
carried in and around the project site to study the levels of noise, as the high dB (A)
levels may cause adverse effect on human beings and associated environment,
including structures, domestic animals and natural ecological systems. The locations
were identified keeping in view the land use pattern and environmental setting Spot
noise levels were measured using a precision noise level meter at project site and
residential areas in all Five locations were covered with in study zone.

Development of projects goes hand in hand with environmental impact hence before
any project is undertaken the damages in relation to the benefits should be measured.
Unfortunately environmental issues are interdisciplinary, interactive, biological and
probabilistic and because information is always deficient, the outcome has a
considerable degree of uncertainty or risk.

4.4.2 During Operation Stage-
Probable impact on water resources in the operational phase will be mainly due to
discharge of domestic sewage generated during the functional phase of the building.
The main source of waste water generation is sewage generated from the proposed
project. All these liquid waste is collected and conveyed to the full fledged treatment
plant provided at the site. After treatment the same is reused for flushing of toilets and
gardening. The quantity of waste water generated is about 1998KLD. It is proposed to
treat the liquid waste generated in a full fledged STPS - 2 Nos for grey water of 1500
KLD Capacity and black water of 700KLD Capacity.
Mitigation Measures:
Providing adequate treatment and conditioning facilities so that the treated sewage
conforms to the regulatory standards.
The generated waste water will be treated in STP and treated water will be utilized for
landscaping and flushing

Construction activities which produce noise should not be carried out in day
time.
4.5.2 During Operational Phase
The impact on noise during the functional phase of the project will be due to vehicular
traffic and use of DG sets as a backup facility.
Mitigation Measures
Proper and suitable acoustic barrier will also be provided around areas generating high
noise.
DG sets will also be housed in acoustically treated room so that the ambient noise level
will not get affected.
Green belt development along the boundary wall will reduce noise.
The project will generate garbage as solid waste. Land contamination mainly occurs
because of lack of proper storage and disposal of solid waste.
Mitigation Measures:
Proper solid waste receptacles and storage containers will be provided, particularly for
the disposal of food items as to prevent littering of site.
Arrangements will be made for regular collection of litter and for its disposal only at
the dump site. Sewage treatment plant will be used for treating the sewage generated.
The solid waste segregated will be composted
Dust emissions from the construction activities will affect the respiration activities of
plants and animals. The emission of particulate matter, NOx, SOx and emissions from
75 | P a g e
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT July’
M/S. VISAKHA VALLEY RESORTS & ESTATES PVT LTD
2016
DG set will affect the natural environment severely. The noise produce during
construction phase will affect the animals in and around the area. Some construction
activities will lead to removal of vegetation in that particular area
Mitigation Measures:
Sprinkling of water can suppress dust emissions and this will be done regularly while
carrying out construction activities.
Plantation and development of green belt will reduce the impacts of construction
activities.
DG sets and vehicles will be maintained properly by avoiding use of adulterant fuels
The project would generate potentials of employment during construction which will
benefit the local population in getting work opportunities. Short term employment will
be created during construction activities and this will be a positive impact of the
proposed project.

M/s. Visakha Valley Resorts & Estates Pvt Ltd, the plot area of the project is 266.01
acres. The project comprises of Residential plots, club house etc
Baseline studies on the various environmental components (air, water, land, flora, fauna
and socio-economic) were carried out around the project area.
The project will not have any significant generation of noise or vibration, except that
due to the operation of the DG sets during construction phase.
Total water requirement during operation stage is 2010KLD and will be met from bore
wells. Total quantity of sewage generation will be around 1998 KLD which will be
treated through STP of 1 x 1500 KLD & 1 x 700 KLD capacities. The treated sewage
will be utilized for flushing, and green belt development.
The proposed project activity includes rain water harvesting system with a proper
design to recharge the groundwater aquifers. Storm water run-off from
roads/paved/landscaped areas will be directed to shallow recharge pits. Adequate storm
water drainage is also proposed at the site.
There will not be any threat to bio-diversity due to the project, because there are no
endangered species in the proposed project site.
An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) identifying the measures necessary during
preconstruction and operation of the project has been prepared based on the assessment
of the baseline conditions and the potential impacts of the project activities. Systematic
implementation and maintenance of the EMP and its regular monitoring would
minimize the adverse impacts and enhance the environmental quality.
