Several qualitative and quantitative techniques and
methodology are used to conduct analysis
Impact on Physical, Ecological and Socio-economic environment are studied. The prediction of impacts helps to minimize the adverse impacts and maximize the beneficial impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project execution. Physical environment includes: Air Environment Water Environment Noise Environment Land Environment Construction Phase Increase in gaseous emission by heavy construction equipment and vehicle. Increase in dust by construction activities like Earth excavation work, material storage, transportation and handling of construction materials Dust and exhaust particulate emissions from heavy equipment operation with temporary degrade in air quality Operation Phase Project being biogas plant, there will be no combustion But in case of failure, Diesel Generator can be used. Odor from the Anaerobic digester.
In summary, there will be no or minor negative impacts on the
air environment Construction Phase Noise will be produced in a less amount by transporting trucks, concrete mixer, etc Operation Phase Sources of noise shall be equipments under working like pumps, blowers, DG sets and treatment machinery Minor negative impact near noise generation sources inside the premises. In summary, minor negative impacts in the environment Construction Phase The wastewater produced from laborers may be a concern for the public health. Storm water with sediments from excavated material Operation Phase Wastewater generated due to operation & maintenance staff will be treated in ETP Approximately, 269 KLD of waste water will be generated and further it will be treated in 300 KLD In summary, Positive impact, as the effluent will be treated to the on land discharge standards. Construction Phase There might be a change in land pattern Overburden & construction waste may pollute soil Operation Phase Slurry produced during the waste processing in the digester will be handled in polyhouse. In Summary, there will be no or minor negative impacts on land Minor impact on flora and fauna of the area due to operation of proposed biogas plant
Impacts on population composition
The impact of proposed biogas plant on population composition will be either nil or negligible as only a few skilled and managerial staff will be recruited Impacts on Employment Generation Expected to provide employment opportunities to about 75 people including skilled and unskilled workers Employment potentiality of the project is expected to increase economic condition of the families of those persons who will get employed in the plant Positive impacts of the project Impacts on Income Family income of the people will be substantial boost. Positive impacts of the project Impacts on Historical, Archeological and Architectural Sites No impacts Impacts on law and order No impacts
