3. DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
Study Area: The base-line data has been collected for Core Zone [Corridor of Impact (COI)],
an area covering 500 m on both sides of the proposed alignment and 10 km buffer zone for
prominent environmental attributes like Ambient Air quality, Noise Level, Water quality and
Soil profile. Primary and Secondary data has also been collected for other environmental
attributes for the preparation of EIA/EMP report. The baseline study for the project was
conducted during the months from April 2021 to June 2021 (Pre monsoon Season).
Baseline Study: The findings of the baseline environmental status on land (topography,
geology, soil quality, land use pattern), meteorology (Temperature, Relative Humidity,
rainfall, wind speed, wind rose), air (Ambient Air quality- PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX. and CO),
water (surface & ground water), noise level, ecological environment (terrestrial and aquatic
flora & fauna), socio-economic conditions (demographic profile and households condition)
were presented and interpreted with reference to environmental standards.
➢ Meteorology: The study area is located in Khammam and Krishna districts in the
state of Telangana and Andhra Pradesh. The project districts experiences typical
Indian climatic conditions. Summer season is hot and the temperatures can climb
rapidly during the day. Monsoon season brings certain amount of rainfall and the
temperatures gradually reduce during this period. After the onset of the monsoon day
temperatures are much lower and as the winter approaches they reduce further.
Summer season is from March and lasts till the end of May. During this time day
temperatures are high and can reach 40 °C to 42 °C. Humidity is low as it is not
located near the ocean. Conditions are generally dry during this period and the
temperatures range from a minimum of 35 °C and can rise up to a maximum of 40 °C
to 45 °C. The average annual rainfall of the project district is 1061 mm, monthly
rainfall ranges from nil rainfall in November, December and January to 283.1 mm in
July. July is the wettest months of the year. The mean seasonal rainfall distribution is
861.6 mm in southwest monsoon (June-September),105.8 mm in northeast monsoon
(Oct-Dec), 7.1 mm rainfall in winter (Jan-Feb) and 86.3 mm in summer (March –
May).
The meteorological data has been taken from Khammam IMD station.

➢ Air Environment: Ambient air quality monitoring has been done at 8 locations
considering 15 km distance at each location as per MoEF&CC guidelines. Specific
station-wise Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) data for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX. and CO as
recorded during the study period i.e. from April 2021 to June 2021. All the parameters
have been analyzed and the parameters are well below the National Ambient Air
quality standards, 2009.
➢ Water Environment: The development of any region is based on the availability of

sufficient water resources, as developmental activities require water for irrigation,
domestic and other purposes. During construction and operation phase, local water
bodies will not be affected and the provision of culverts, minor/major bridges has
been proposed to avoid any impact on the water bodies. During construction period,
contractor will provide safe and drinking water facilities to the local labour/workers
and all the officers deputed at the construction camps and sites. The water resources
in the area broadly fall into following categories:
➢ Ground Water resources: Borewells
• Ground water: Ground water sampling has been taken for 04 locations. The
pH varies from 7.82 – 8.14, TDS varies from 350 – 457.26 mg/L, Conductivity
varies from 547.35 – 695.24 Microm/hos/cm and Hardness varies from 246 –
260.20 mg/L.
➢ Surface Water resources: Lal Bahadur Canal, Wyra River, Munneru/Kattaleru,

Tributary of Krishna
• Surface water: Surface water sampling has been taken for 04 locations. The
pH varies from 8.12 – 8.36, TDS varies from 402.19- 596 mg/L, Dissolved Oxygen
varies from 3.5 – 4.2 mg/l, BOD varies from 5.8 mg/l – 8 mg/l and Faecal Coliform
varies from 210 – 240 MPN/100ml.
➢ Noise Environment
Ambient noise level monitoring has been done at 08 locations. The hourly recorded
noise level at various locations in the study area shows fluctuations because of
change in traffic movement, construction activities and other man-made sources. The
equivalent values of noise levels varies from 48.6 dB (A) to 54.7dB (A) during
daytime which are within the prescribed norms of CPCB whereas during night time
the noise level varies from 36.8 dB (A) to 42.9 dB (A), which reveals that all values
are below the national standard.
➢ Soil Environment
Soil sampling has been done at 08 locations. The soil pH ranges from 6.48 to 8.12
thereby indicating the soils are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline in nature. The texture
of the soil is Sandy loam. Soils are good in available nitrogen content, have low
available phosphorus, potassium content and have high organic carbon.
BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
The proposed project is mainly passing through the agricultural lands. Other than the
agricultural lands, weeds and scattered shrub species are seen. There are plantations along
the roadsides and canals. The most common trees are; Azadirachta indica, Ficus hispida,
Prosopis juliflora, Pongamia pinnata, Dalbergia sisoo, Phoenix sylvestris, Albizia lebbeck,
Vitex negundo, Polyalthia longifolia, Acacia nilotica, Ailanthus excelsa are dominant here.
Eucalyptus is widely spread over buffer zone.
Other trees like Tamarindus indica, Acacia auriculiformis, Caesalpinia pulcherrima, Delonix
regia, Peltophorum pterocarpum, Terminalia catappa, are predominant near road side.
Mangifera indica and Coconut and other the most common fruit yielding trees, Borassus
flabellifer, Butea monosperma, Cassia siamea, Gmelina arborea are also distributed
throughout the area.
SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
The primary purpose of socio-economic analysis is to provide an overview of the State’s,

socio- economic status and the relative status of the Project Influence Area (PIA) within the
State.
The proposed project passes through Khammam and Krishna districts in the state of
Telangana and Andhra Pradesh respectively. The demographic profile and socio-economic
status of the people in the project affected districts and state as per census 2011 are as

5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Three alternative alignments have been considered:
1) Option 1 (Proposed Green field alignment): The alignment crosses through major
villages/town such as Khammam, Wyra, Bonkal, Madhira, G.konduru and
Vijayawada. The total alignment passes through 39 villages/towns. The option -1 has
been recommended since it involves minimum nos. of felling of trees and the project
cost is less as compared with the other two options.
2) Option 2 (Brown field alignment): The alignment follows major villages/towns such
as Khammam, Wyra, Madhira, G.Konduru and Vijayawada. The option-2 has not
been recommended since total area under water body is more than the other two
options. Further it will not serve the purpose of Economic Corridor being Brown field
Alignment.
3) Option 3 (Green field alignment): The alignment follows Khammam, Wyra, Bonkal,
Madhira, G.konduru and Vijayawada. The option-3 has not been recommended since
the more number of trees are falling compared with the other two options.
Option 1 has been fixed and it seems more feasible as compared to the other
options.
6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME
The Environmental Monitoring Programs are also suggested to provide information on which
management decisions may be taken during construction and operational phase. The
objective of this program is to evaluate the efficiency of mitigation and enhancement
measures, updating the actions & impacts of baseline data and adaptation of additional
mitigation measures. Total cost for environment monitoring plan is Rs 1,89,00,000.
7. ADDITIONAL STUDIES
Public Consultation & Public Hearing
The public consultations were carried out in nearby villages of the project corridors. These
consultations were taken up by environmental and social experts. Details are incorporated in
EIA/EMP report.
In consonance with the EIA notification dated 14th September 2006, vide section 7(f) related
to public hearing, the draft EIA/EMP report shall be submitted to Telangana State Pollution
Control Board and Andhra Pradesh Pollution Control Board for conducting public hearing in
Khammam and Krishna districts.
Social Impact Assessment
The proposed National Highway will pass through Khammam district of Telangana state and
Krishna district of Andhra Pradesh state. There are 05 nos. of structures which has been
recorded within the corridor of impact of the proposed National Highway. However, the
proposed project will definitely have some positive impact on the socio-economic
environment of the people of surrounding villages experiencing development in the area in
specific and state and nation as a whole. The demographic profile and socio-economic status
of the people in the project affected district are presented in EIA/EMP report.

Road Safety Features
The proposed highway would act as the prime artery for the economic flow to this region. It
will enhance economic development, provide employment opportunities to locals, strengthen
tourist development, ensure road safety and provide better transportation facilities and other
facilities such as way side amenities.
The proposed project is entirely green field National Highway. However, provision of
diversions with direction signs, speed breakers and other safety requirements followed as per
IRC & MoRTH guidelines. Provision for accident emergency assistance and medical care to
accident victims have also been considered as road safety measures.
8. PROJECT BENEFITS
The major project benefits from the proposed highway are:
• The proposed NH will provide better, fast, safe and smooth connectivity for the
commuters of Telangana & Andhra Pradesh state and especially in Khammam and
Krishna districts regions.
• An important project aimed to improve connectivity between Telangana State & Andhra
Pradesh State.
• Smooth and fast-moving traffic will cause only lower emissions thereby reducing pollution
levels.
• Accident rates are also expected to come down substantially.
• Development of the proposed project road will improve the local agriculture and enable
farmers to realize better value for their products as well as attract more investment to that
region, thus boost economy of the area, state and nation as a whole.
• Growth of local tourism and resultant boost to local economy is also expected due to
proposed project.
9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
The Environmental Management Plan is prepared for avoidance, mitigation and

management of the negative impacts of the project. It also covers remedial measures require
to be taken EMP includes the list of all the project related activities, their impacts at different
stages of project during pre-construction phase / design phase, construction phase and
operational phase on environment and remedial measures to be undertaken to mitigate
these impacts.
Total cost for environment management plan (including environmental monitoring plan) for
the project is 23.55 (Crore)
10. FINDINGS & CONCLUSSION
The EIA/EMP report was prepared after through interaction with the engineering section of
the consultants so that the negative impacts on the environment and human population
could be avoided as far as possible. Some of the important findings of the study are as
follows: -
1. There will be insignificant loss of bio-diversity as no rare plant or animal species are going
to be affected by the present project.
2. The proposed alignment is not passing through any Sanctuary or National Park.
3. Precautionary measures such as underpass, pipe culverts etc. have been suggested to
mitigate the likely impacts if any, on the wild life present in study area.
4. No monuments protected by the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI) are located within
the ROW of proposed National Highway.
5. The most important factors, which need continuous attention and assessment during the
construction phase, are the ambient air quality, the water quality and the noise level. The
ambient air quality of the study area is good. A noise level in the area is also below the
limit.
6. Approximately 53,396 numbers of trees are recorded in corridor of impact of the proposed
National Highway. However, avenue plantation and compensatory afforestation will
enhance the environmental condition of the area.
7. There are 05 nos. of structures which has been recorded within the corridor of impact of
the proposed National Highway. However, the proposed project will definitely have some
positive impact on the socio-economic environment of the people of surrounding villages
experiencing development in the area in specific and state and nation as a whole.
