ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT
CHAPTER – 3
BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
3.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF IMPACT ZONE
The baseline status of environmental quality in the vicinity of project site serves as the basis for
identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts. The baseline environmental quality is
assessed through field studies within the impact zone for various components of the
environment, viz. air, noise, water, land and socio-economic. The baseline environmental
quality has been assessed in the January, 2014 to March, 2014 in a study area of 10 km radial
distance from the project site.
Knowledge of baseline environmental status of the study area is useful for Impact AssessmentProcess of assessing and predicting the environmental consequences of the significant actions.
Significant action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effect on the
health of the biota including flora, fauna and human being, socio-economic conditions, current
use of land and resources, physical and cultural heritage properties and biophysical
surroundings. Baseline data generation of the following environmental attributes is essential in
EIA studies.

3.2 METEOROLOGY
Air borne pollutants is dispersed by atmosphere motion. Knowledge of these motions, which
range is scale from turbulent diffusion to long-range transport by weather systems, is essential
to simulate such dispersion and quality of impacts of air pollution on the environment. The
purpose of EIA is to determine whether average concentrations are likely to encounter at fixed
locations (Know as the receptor), due to the given sources (locations and rates of emission
known), under idealized atmospheric conditions. It is imperative that one should work with
idealized condition and all analysis pertaining to air turbulence and ambient air or noise
pollution should be done with meteorological conditions, which can at best be, expected to
occur. The details of measurement technique, instruments, specification of measurement
standards and accuracy of instruments are adopted from the Indian Standard: 8829-1978
“Guideline for micrometeorological technique in Air Pollution Studies.” Care is taken to install
the anemometer within a distance of six times the height of nearest vertical terrain elements
(house, trees etc.) and height of 10 m from the average ground level of the fetch area
3.3 MICRO-METEOROLOGY OF THE AREA
The climate of Gujarat is varied, as it is moist in the southern districts and dry in the northern
region. The Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Cambay in the west and the forest-covered hills in the
east soften the rigours of climatic extremes, consequently reducing the temperature and
render the climate more pleasant and healthy. The surrounding area was a vast plain thickly
covered with high trees. Wind instruments were placed on the tower in the square block.

AIR ENVIRONMENT
3.4.1 DESIGN OF NETWORK FOR AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS
The air quality status in the impact zone is assessed through a network of ambient air quality
monitoring locations. The tropical climatic conditions mainly control the transport and
dispersion of air pollutant emissions during various seasons.
The baseline studies for air environment include identification of specific air pollutants prior to
implementation of the project. The Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) study
requires monitoring of baseline air quality during one season. Accordingly, air quality
monitoring was carried out in the season from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014. The baseline
status of the air environment is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance
programme, which is planned based on the following criteria:

Topography / terrain of the study area

Regional synoptic scale climatologically normal

Densely populated areas within the region

Location of surrounding industries

Representation of regional background

Representation of valid cross-sectional distribution in downwind direction
3.4.2 RECONNAISSANCE
Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air environment in the study
region. Seven nos. of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) locations were selected based on
guidelines of network sitting criteria. All AAQM locations were selected within the study area of
5 km radial distance from the project site.
3 - 10
3.4.3 METHODOLOGY FOR AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING
The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with guidelines of Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of CPCB of
2009. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) was carried out at seven locations during the
season from January 1, 2014 to March 31, 2014. The maximum numbers of sampling locations
were selected close to the project site and in the study area of 5 km radial distance around the
plant site. The locations of the different stations with respect to its distance and direction from
project site are shown in Table-3.6 and Figure-3.2 respectively.
The conventional and project specific parameters such as Suspended Particulate Matter,
Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM-PM10), Respirable Suspended Particulate
Matter (RSPM-PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Ozone (O3), Lead (Pb),
Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ammonia (NH3), Benzene (C6H6), Benzo (a) Pyrene (BaP), Arsenic (AS),
Nickel (Ni), HC & VOCs were monitored at site.
The existing baselines levels of Suspended Particulate Matter, Respirable Suspended Particulate
Matter (RSPM-PM10), Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM-PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide
(SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), Ozone (O3), Lead (Pb), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Ammonia
(NH3), Benzene (C6H6), Benzo (a) Pyrene (BaP), Arsenic (AS), Nickel (Ni) & HC are expressed in
terms of various statistical parameters as given in Tables-3.7 National ambient air quality
standards are enclosed as Annexure-1.

3.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
The objective of the noise pollution survey around the project site was to identify existing noise
sources and to measure background noise levels. The study was carried out in the following
steps:

Reconnaissance

Identification of noise sources and measurement of noise levels

Measurement of noise levels due to transportation

Community noise levels
The details of locations are given in Table-3.8 (A) and shown in Figure-3.3 while the results of
noise monitoring are given in Table 3.8(B).
3.5.2 METHODOLOGY FOR NOISE MONITORING
Noise standards have been designated for different types of area, i.e. residential, commercial,
industrial and silence zones, as per ‘The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000,
Notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi, February 14, 2000.
Ambient noise level monitoring was done at same locations where ambient air monitoring was
carried out within a study area. The locations are away from the major roads and major noise
sources so as to measure ambient noise levels. One day monitoring was carried out at all the
locations during monitoring season (February 10, 2014 to February 14, 2014). The frequency of
monitoring was set at an interval of 15 seconds over a period of 10 minutes per hour for 24hours. All measurements were carried out when the ambient conditions were unlikely to
adversely affect the results: wind speeds were approximately 1-3 m/sec and no precipitation
was recorded.

3.6 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The average annual rainfall in the region is about 1006.3 mm. The baseline water quality status
in the region is established by analyzing surface water and ground water. The entire water
requirement is met bore well (ground water). Water requirement for the proposed expansion
will be met through bore well (ground water).
3.6.2 METHODOLOGY FOR WATER QUALITY MONITORING
Physico-chemical parameters have been analyzed to ascertain the baseline status of fresh
water in the existing surface water and ground water bodies. Samples were collected once
during the study period for season on February 11 to 13, 2014.

3.8 LAND USE PATTERN
Land use, in general, reflects the human beings activities on land, whereas the word land cover
indicates the vegetation, agricultural and artificial manmade structures covering the land
surfaces. Identification and periodic surveillance of land uses and vegetation covers, in the
vicinity of any developmental activity is one of the most important components for a
comprehensive environmental impact assessment, which would help to determine the impact
of the project development activity on the land use pattern.
3.8.1 METHOD OF DATA PREPARATION
The land use/land cover has been presented in the form of a map prepared by using Google
Earth image. The land use/ land cover status has been studied for 5km & 10km radial area from
the project site boundary. Area and distance calculations have been carried out using GIS
software after geo-referencing the interpreted data.
3.8.2 AREA UNDER DIFFERENT LANDUSE
The land use classification within a distance of ten kilometers from the project location and the
areas falling under the respective classifications are as given in Table 3.14

3.9 GEOLOGICAL DATA
Geologically the study area mainly comprises of Calcareous Sand belonging to the Myliolite
Formation of the Porbander Group of Holocene sediments. These Holocene sediments are of
marine, fluvial and Aeolian origin. The marine sediments include the older tidal flats and tidal
marsh of Rann Clay Formation and shoal, tidal flat and marsh of younger Mahuva Formation.
The fluvial sediments include flood plain and delta of Katpur Formation and Channel-fill and
flood plain of younger Varahi Formation. The Aeolian sediments include stabilized sand sheet
and sand dune of Akhaj Formation and sand sheet of younger Jantral Formation.
3.9.1 METHOD OF PREPARATION
The geological classification map has been prepared by extracting the areas under different
geological classification from the 1:2 million-scale maps prepared by Geological Survey of India
(GSI) for the State of Gujarat. The map text has been modified in consultations with the
Department of Geology, University of Delhi. The project site, towns and village locations have
been added for ease of spatial reference. Locations of towns and villages have been extracted
from CoI maps, SoI topographical maps and confirmed with satellite data.
3.9.2 DESCRIPTION OF GEOLOGICAL CLASSIFICATION AND AREA UNDER DIFFERENT
FORMATIONS
The major geological features and area under different geological formations within a distance
of 10 km from the project site.
3.9.3 GEOLOGICAL MAP
A map depicting the major geological features in the project area is presented in Figure 3.7. The
map also marks the area within 10 km of the project site as the region of interest. Town and
village locations are also depicted to facilitate ease of reference.

GEOHYDROLOGY
The ground water in the area is found to occur under semi-confined conditions and the flow is
from NE to SW direction. The project site falls under the grey category, as identified by the
CGWA.
In & around the study area, ground water structures are shallow tube wells tapping semi
confined aquifers to extract water for general use. They are 30 to 35 meter deep with 3 to 5 HP
submersible pump sets lowered up to the depth of about 20.00 meter. yielding about 150 LPM.
Discharge, which decreases during summer indicating inadequate ground water potential in the
study area & declines in static water level up to the depth of about 11.0 meter.
CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION
From the resistivity sounding field data, its interpretation & Geo-hydrological information from
the surrounding area it is concluded that, as the study area is near to the gulf, at all location the
resistivity values are decreasing due to the presence of saline water at deeper depth.
• Based on Geo-hydrological information & Geo-physical data, it is also concluded that water
bearing zone (Mainly Sandy Strata) starts approximate from the depth of 10-20mtrs, but as we
go deeper and deeper the quality of water become more poor as they are saline in nature and
containing more than 2000 TDS, which is above the permissible limit according to I.S.

On the basis of above conclusion, it is recommended that, as the upper aquifer zone of the
study area is unconfined in nature, it can be used for recharging purpose and the quality of
ground water from shallower aquifers can be improved by constructing & installing rain water
harvesting tube well recharge systems in the premises at the feasible locations if necessary.

3.10 ECOLOGICAL INFORMATION
Anthropogenic activity affects plant/animal populations and can modify interactions among
species within communities. Habitat loss, fragmentation and degradation are currently the
most important threats to biodiversity.
Species are the currency of an ecosystem. In particular, reactions to the ongoing biodiversity
crisis are ubiquitously phrased in terms of species. Areas of importance (e.g., biodiversity
hotspots) are to be considered, if they occur in the study area, on the basis of the species they
possess, conservation schemes are assessed on how many species are preserved, lists are
compiled of endangered species and the factors that threaten them, and conservation
legislation are focused on species preservation.
The system comprising of living and non-living components and their interaction is called an
ecosystem. The cycle of ecology is governed by producer, consumer and decomposer.
Unfortunately, there are very few examples of perfect natural ecosystems on earth, because
man influences most of them. No national park/Wildlife Sanctuary/ Reserve Forest cover has
been found in 5 km radius of the project area.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) relating to terrestrial and aquatic environments to the
mean in the Ecological Assessment is the process of identifying, quantifying and evaluating the
potential impacts of defined actions on ecosystems or their components. It is an attempt to
identification and evaluation of ecological resources likely to be affected.
A Preliminary Ecological Appraisal indicating the likely significance of ecological impacts on a
proposed development site. It will help to develop any ecological impacts will not be a
significant issue in the determination of the application when it is submitted. Preliminary
Ecological Appraisals would also be an important preliminary step, whether taken by the
developer or the planning authority, to inform decisions as to whether a particular site should
be included as an allocation in a development plan. The information obtained from such an
appraisal is apropriate for use in the process of selecting preferred options and in the
environmental assessment of the plan.
Preliminary ecological surveys have a range of purposes to gather data on existing conditions,
with the intention of conducting a preliminary assessment of likely impacts of development
3 - 38
schemes or establishing the baseline for future monitoring.
3.10.1 METHOD OF PREPARATION
The plant and animal communities in all ecosystems co-occur in a well organised manner and
their specific settings can be perturbed due to human actions. An ecological examination of the
ctivity Zone has been studied to assess the present baseline state of biodiversity and from the
biological resource records.
Baseline data of the biodiversity have been generated from field visits of the site. The
generated data were compared with the available records (secondary database). To achieve the
objectives, a general ecological study covering 5-10 km around the activity site for the proposed
development.

3.11 DRAINAGE PATTERN
All the major rivers encircling the western part of Gujarat state debouch into the sea near Gulf
of Khambhat, hence from the drainage map we can see that many major and minor creeks are
been created in the western and eastern part of Khambhat taluka. Chor Creek in the west, Pan
Creek in the south and Dandi Creek in southwestern part fall in the major category, while Kala
Phatta Creek in the northern part fall in minor category. Mahi River, forming the southeastern
border of the taluka, flow southwesterly direction whereas the NE-SW flowing Sabarmati River
forms the northern border of the Taluka.

3.12 SOCIO - ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
An assessment of socio - economic environment forms an integral part of an EIA study.
Therefore, baseline information for the same was collected during the study period. The
baseline socio - economic data collected for the study region, before the proposed expansion is
in operation, has been identified for the four major indicators viz. demography, civic amenities,
economy and social culture. The baseline status of the above indicators is compiled in
forthcoming sections.
3.12.1 SETTLEMENTS AND DEMOGRAPHIC PATTERN
3.12.1.1 SETTLEMENTS:
A total of 12 villages fall fully in Khambhat taluka in the radial distance of 5 km from the project
site of CETP located at Neja village of Khambhat Taluka in Anand district. So macro level study
has been carried out in Khambhat taluka. The administrative map showing the village
boundaries has been prepared from Census 2011 maps.
3.12.1.2 DEMOGRAPHIC DATA WITHIN THE REGION
The comparative demographic status of Gujarat and Anand District shows that percentage
increase of population in Gujarat is 19% while in Anand district it is 12.5% from 2001 to 2011.
However the decadal population growth rate in the State of Gujarat and Anand district having
decreasing trend during 2001 to 2011. On the contrary the population density showed an
increasing trend between 2001 to 2011 for the State of Gujarat and Anand district. This shows
an increasing trend for migratory population in the various talukas of the Anand district as well
as in the state.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACT
Various sources of pollution with respect to wastewater, the flue gas / process emission,
hazardous/solid waste and noise generation along with their qualitative and quantitative
analysis as well as measures taken to control them are discussed herein with details. The
network method is adopted to identify potential impact, which involves understanding of
cause-condition-effect relationship between an activity and environmental parameters. This
method involves the "road map" type of approach to the identification of second and third
order effect. The basic idea is to account for the project activity and identify the type of impact
that could initially occur followed by the identification of secondary and tertiary impact. It
should be noted that in these illustrations the lines are to be read as "might have an effect on".

4.2 EVALUATION AND PREDICTION OF IMPACT
Evaluation is an absolute term used for assessment and prediction by means of numerical
expression or value. Assessment is the process of identifying and interpreting the
environmental consequences of the significant actions. Prediction is a way of mapping the
environmental consequences of the significant actions.
Significant Action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effects on health
of biota including flora, fauna and man, socio-economic conditions, landforms and resources,
physical and cultural heritage properties and quality of bio-physics surrounds.
Prediction requires scientific skill drawn from many disciplines. Prediction of ecological
components is often uncertain, because their response to environmental stress cannot be
predicted in absolute terms. The assessor (one who does the assessment) and decision maker
(one who take the decision after adequate analysis of assessment report) is expected to be
aware of the degree of uncertainty. The assessor generally uses the following methods and
resources for impact assessment.
 Field surveys and monitoring
 Guideline and modeling
 Literature surveys and interviews
 Qualification and experience
An impact can be defined as any change in physical, chemical and biological, cultural and or
socioeconomic environment that can be attributed to activities related to alternatives under
study for meeting the project needs. Impact methodology provides an organized approach for
prediction and assessing these impacts.
Impact assessment is based on conceptual notions on how the universe acts that is intuitive
and/or explicit assumption concerning the nature of environmental process. In most of cases
the predictions consists of indicating merely whether there will be degradation, no change or
enhancement of environment quality. In other cases, quantitative ranking scales are used. The
selection of indicator is crucial in assessment because impacts are identifies and interpreted
based on impact indicator. An impact indicator is a parameter that provides a measure (in
atleast some qualitative or numerical sense) of the significance and magnitude of the impact. In

India indicator is developed by the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) in the form of
primary water quality criteria, biological water quality criteria, and national ambient quality
criteria for air and noise.
The impact of the proposed project on the environment has been considered based on the
information provided by the proponents and data collected at the site. The environmental
impacts have been categorized as long or short term and reversible or irreversible. Primary
impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project while secondary impacts are
those, which are indirectly induced. These typically include the associated investment and
changed pattern of social and economical activities by the proposed action. The operational
phase of the proposed project comprises several of which have been considered to assess the
impact on one or another environmental parameters.
Scientific techniques and methodologies based on mathematical modeling are available for
studying impacts of various project activities on environmental parameters.
The nature of the impacts due to said project activities are discussed here in detail. Each
parameter identified in proceeding chapters, is singularly considered for the anticipated impact
due to various activities listed. The impact is quantified using numerical scores 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5
in increasing order of activity. In order to assess the impact accurately, each parameter is
discussed in detail covering the following:
1) Project activities like to generate impact
2) Quantification and prediction of impact
Operation of the project may potential to affect quality of life, air, noise, water, land and flora,
fauna and human by increase in air, noise and water pollution, by increase in hazardous waste
generation, by pollution from spillage/surface run-off, by disturbance to flora and fauna, by loss
of trees resulting from increased assess, by increase in land values threatening agriculture, etc.
During the operation phase, the following activities are considered significant.
 Air emission (Marginal Impact)
 Noise generation (Minor Impact)
 Hazardous waste generation (Minor Impact)
 Water use and waste water discharge (Marginal Impact)
 Employment Generation (Marginal Impact)
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 8
The operation of the project will involve discharge of pollutants. There will be wastewater
generation, air emissions, hazardous waste generation and mechanical noise. An assessment of
the quantitative changes in the various environmental components is therefore essential for
predicting the impact. Operational phase activities will have impacts, either short terms or long
term and reversible or irreversible on ambient air and noise, surface and ground water, land,
socio-economics and cultural environment.
4.2.1 WATER ENVIRONMENT
With respect to water environment three aspects are generally considered in EIA, the raw
water availability, consumption and wastewater generation and disposal. The first priority in
water quality assessment is to maintain and restore the desirable level of water quality in
general (Wholesomeness of water).
4.2.1.1 Impact during Construction Phase
The peak water requirement during construction will be available from the ground water.
Further, the wastewater generation during the construction period will be basically from
construction activities and sanitary units will be provided for the workers for that.
4.2.1.2 Impact during Operation Phase
The effluent will be generated from proposed project during operational phase, which will be as
below:
Total wastewater to be received by CETP will be 500 KL/day from the member industries and
that will be treated and given back to member industries for reuse. Total water consumption
will be 82 KL/day for operation of CETP & MEE and total wastewater generation will be 17 KL
/day, which will be treated in CETP. As the CETP is engaged in treatment of waste water, the
minor source of water pollution during operation phase will be;

Leakage form units

Leakage from Tanker
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 9
4.2.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT
4.2.2.1 Impact during Construction Phase
During construction phase, dust emissions will be the main pollutant, which would be
generated from the site development activities and vehicular movement on the road. Further,
concentration of NOx and CO may also slightly increase due to increased vehicular traffic
movement. However, the increase in ambient concentrations of air quality will be negligible. As
most of the construction equipment will be mobile, the emissions are likely to be fugitive.
There will some likelihood that during the construction phase local air quality may be
temporarily affected by these emissions.
4.2.2.2 Impact during Operation Phase
With respect to operation phase impact, Air emission from M/s.Khambhat Enviromental
Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd includes utility emissions. The dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere
is a function of several meteorological parameters viz. temperature, wind speed and direction,
mixing height, inversion level, etc. A number of models have been developed for the prediction
of pollutant concentration at any point from an emitting source. The Industrial Source Complex
– Short Term (ISCST3) dispersion model is a steady-state Gaussian plume model. It is most
widely accepted for its interpretability. It gives reasonably correct values because this obeys the
equation of continuity and it also takes care of diffusion, which is a random process. For the
present study, this model is used for the prediction of maximum ground level concentration
(GLC).
The different air emissions at M/s. Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd are PM, SO2
and NOx from boiler. The site specific and monitored meteorological data considered for input
data for the software “ISC-AERMOD View” by Lakes Environmental, Canada for prediction of
impact on air environment are given in Table-4.1.

4.2.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
4.2.3.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACTS
Construction activities are likely to produce noise up to some considerable extent. During the
construction phase of the project, there will be noise generation from earth moving equipment
and material handling traffic. The noise generation level will be confined within the surrounding
area of construction site. There will be short term, localized and reversible impact on ambient
noise levels during the construction activities.
4.2.3.2 OPERATION PHASE IMPACTS
Noise levels in and around the plant site were measured. These values represent status of Noise
levels. The main sources of noise pollution in the plant are boiler, blowers, pumps, etc.
Vehicular movements during operation phase for loading/unloading of raw and finished
materials and other transportation activity may also increase noise level.
4.2.4 LAND USE AND SOIL QUALITY
4.2.4.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE IMPACT
Since the proposed project activity will be located on existing flat terrain, no significant
topographical change is expected due to construction activities. The construction of building
will help in fixation of soil, thereby reducing the soil erosion. Some construction operations
shall disturb the soil profile, but the impact will be insignificant. The CETP & MEE will be located
on non-agriculture land. The CETP & MEE will be suitably located considering availability of
transportation, communication, residence and manpower. The project will not involve in
displacement of any population. Electricity, water, roads, all basic amenities and infrastructure
are available at the site.
4.2.4.2 OPERATION PHASE IMPACT
Four categories of hazardous wastes will be generated from the proposed project. Treatment,
Storage & Disposal mode for the hazardous wastes will be followed as per Hazardous Waste
(Management, Handling & Trans-boundary Movement) Third Amendment Rules, 2010.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 16
The hazardous wastes generated will be ETP Sludge from Common Effluent Treatment Plant,
Discarded Containers/Barrels/Liners used for handling of hazardous wastes/chemicals, used oil,
MEE Salt from MEE in proposed scenario. These Hazardous wastes will be stored in scientifically
designed and constructed hazardous waste storage area within the premises with leachate
collection system. ETP Sludge & MEE Salts will be sent for disposal to secured land fill site at
Nandesari.
4.2.5 HOUSING
Any permanent demand on existing housing facilities is considered as permanent impact. No
township will be constructed. Enough numbers of dwellings are available in nearby villages and
towns for accommodating extra workforce. On town or neighboring villages, the impact on this
account is minimal.
4.2.6 INFRASTRUCTURE AND SERVICES
M/s. Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd is dependent on ground water for water
requirement. The power requirement of M/s. Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd is
met through 500 KVA connected load of MGVCL.
M/s Nandesari Environment Control Ltd., Vadodara, has established and operates TSDF. M/s.
Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd is a member of this facility and has no problem
in disposing off its Hazardous wastes.
Due to project there are minimal additional impacts on services such as road transport,
communication facilities, etc. However, looking at the overall volume of transportation and
communication in this area, the impact is marginal.
As a result of M/s. Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd, the neighboring areas have
developed for residential and commercial use. The infrastructure services e.g. roads, state
transport, post and telegraph, communication, education and medical facilities, housing, etc.
have improved in the surrounding areas. The project has beneficial impact on infrastructure &
services.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 17
4.2.7 ENVIRONMENTAL HAZARDS
Raw materials such as different chemicals are transported by road and stored in the plant
premises. The company will be maintaining systems for better performance in Quality,
Environment, Occupational Health and safety. Hence, marginal impacts on this account are
anticipated. The company is committed to adopt and implement all national and state
legislation pertaining to worker's safety, occupational health and in-plant and surrounding
environment. M/s. Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd is committed for continuous
improvement and sustainable development. Hence, company is able to take care of any
environmental hazards within the plant premises.
4.2.8
ECOLOGY
The impact due to proposed project on the ecological parameters like natural vegetation,
cropping pattern, fisheries and aquatic life, forests and species diversity is as summarized
below:
4.2.8.1 NATURAL VEGETATION
Since, there is provision for space for the proposed project and there will not be any cutting of
the plantation at the site. The green belt will be developed by the facility, which will lead to
beneficial impact. During construction phase, due to generation of fugitive dust emission there
will be slight impact on natural vegetation of the surrounding area.
There shall be emission within limit as per the EMP provisions. Therefore the adverse impact
over any of the ecological components of the environment is negligible.
4.2.8.2 CROPS
It is not likely to alter the crop production and pattern of the area, either during the
construction phase or the operation phase. Further, the necessary environmental protection
measures have been planned under EMP e.g. air pollution control systems designed to take
care of even emergency releases of the gaseous pollutants like PM, SO 2, NOx and regular
environmental surveillance, etc; so as not to have any short-term or cumulative effect on the
crops and the natural vegetation of the area.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 18
4.2.8.3 FOREST AND SPECIES DIVERSITY
The details of flora / fauna species and the wildlife habitat in the area covering 10 km radius
have been collected to determine the existence of rare and / or endangered species. There is
no reserved forest, national park or sanctuary within 10 km radius of the plant. There was no
acquisition of forest land or parks for the plant.
4.2.8.4 FISHERIES AND AQUATIC LIFE
No commercial fishery activities are observed within 10 Km radius of the existing premises, and
hence proposed project will not envisaged to have any adverse effect on fisheries and aquatic
life.
4.2.8.5 AESTHETIC ENVIRONMENT
The CETP & MEE will be developed on industrial land with good landscape and plantation.
Increase in fugitive emission due to very limited construction activities and increase in the
vehicular movement due to the proposed project may have minimal adverse impact on the
visual quality. However, this impact can be minimized with implementation of environment
management plan.
Since there is no discharge of effluent to any water body, there is no adverse impact on the
visual water quality.
Thus, adverse impacts will be minimized with various EMP measures taken by the project on
the aesthetic environment.
4.2.8.6 DEMOGRAPHY, ECONOMICS, SOCIOLOGY AND HUMAN SETTLEMENT
There will be beneficial effects due to improved communication and that resulted in economic
prosperity, better educational opportunities and access to better health and family welfare
facilities. There will be a beneficial effect on human settlement due to employment
opportunities from various industries in the area.
Local quality of life will be improved due to operation of M/s. Khambhat Enviromental
Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd. This factor combined with all other mitigation measures like proper
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 19
treatment and disposal of Hazardous and liquid wastes and gaseous emission, has a beneficial
impact on human settlement and employment opportunities.
There is no displacement of population in project area. Any major activity that may lead to
resettlement of the people is considered as permanent impact. Hence, there is no permanent
impact on this account.
4.2.8.7 SOCIO - ECONOMIC IMPACTS
4.2.8.7.1 EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES
During construction phase, skilled and unskilled manpower will be needed. This will temporarily
increase the employment opportunity. Secondary jobs are also bound to be generated to
provide day-to-day needs and services to the work force. This will also temporarily increase the
demand for essential daily utilities in the local market.
The manpower requirement for the proposed project is expected to generate some permanent
jobs and secondary jobs for the operation and maintenance of plant. This will increase direct /
indirect employment opportunities and ancillary business development to some extent for the
local population.
This phase is expected to create a beneficial impact on the local socio-economic environment.
4.2.8.7.2 INDUSTRIES
During construction of the project, the required raw materials and skilled and unskilled laborers
will be utilized maximum from the local area. The increasing industrial activity will boost the
commercial and economical status of the locality, to some extent.
4.2.8.7.3 PUBLIC HEALTH
During construction period, workers will be provided with basic amenities like safe water
supply, low cost sanitation facilities, first aid, required personal protective equipment, etc.
Otherwise, there could be an increase in diseases related to personal hygiene.
Emission, if uncontrolled from utility stacks may cause discomfort, burning of eyes to the
recipients in the down wind direction. This may be caused due to the failure of control
equipment / process. M/s KEIPL will regularly examine, inspect and test its emission from
sources to make sure that the emission is below the permissible limit.
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________
4- 20
Hence, there will not be any significant change in the status of sanitation and the community
health of the area, as sufficient measures have been taken and proposed under the EMP.
4.2.8.7.4 TRANSPORTATION AND COMMUNICATION
Since the existing factories are having proper linkage for the transport and communication, the
development of this project will not cause any additional impact.
In brief, there will be no adverse impact on sanitation, communication and community health,
as sufficient measures have been proposed to be taken under the EMP. The proposed project
will not make any significant change in the existing status of the socio - economic environment
of this region.

ADDITIONAL STUDIES (RISK ASSESSMENT)
6.1 BACKGROUND
Identification analysis and assessment of hazards and risks provide vital information to the
risk management, that what should be the type & capacity of any on-site and off-site
emergency plan & what type of safety measures and maintenance is required. Risk and
consequence analysis is carried out considering storage and handling of various hazardous
raw materials, intermediates and product as well as manufacturing process.
6.2 METHODOLOGY
Quantitative risk assessment (QRA) is a means of making a systematic analysis of the risks
from hazardous activities, and forming a rational evaluation of their significance, in order to
provide input to a decision-making process. The term ‘quantitative risk analysis’ is widely
used, but strictly this refers to the purely numerical analysis of risks without any evaluation
of their significance. The study has been conducted based on the premises of a traditional
Quantitative Risk Assessment. The key components of a QRA are explained below, and
illustrated in Figure 6.1.
6- 1
FIGURE – 6.1
QRA METHODOLOGY
The purpose of Risk Assessment is to develop mitigation measures for unacceptable
generators of risk, as well as to reduce the overall level of risk to As Low as Reasonably
Practical.
6- 2
FIGURE – 6.2
ALARP PRINCIPLE
In order to help assess the viability of Risk Reduction Measures (RRM), the economic costs
of the measures can be compared with their risk benefits using Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA).

Poor electrical installations and faulty electrical appliances can lead to fires which may also
cause death or injury to workers. The main hazards involved with electrical network are :
 Contact with live parts causing shock and burns
 Faults which could cause fires
 Fire or explosion where electricity could be the source of ignition in a potentially
flammable or explosive atmosphere.

Slips, Trips and fall at work
Injury by slips, trips and falls on wet floors, falling into treatment units / ponds and by splash
of hazardous liquids. Possibility of human injury due to working with mechanical machines,
manual handling etc.
Slip, trips and falls at work is the major and common cause of injuries at work. These cost to
employers heavily.
Slips and trips are the most common cause of non-fatal major injuries. The hazards related to
slip and trips at work can be reduced through good health and safety arrangements. The risk
associated with slip and trip hazards can be identified through following five step approach:
 Look for slip and trip hazards around the workplace e.g. uneven floors, trailing cables,
slippery areas in case of spillages.
 Decide who might be harmed and how.
 Consider the risks - whether enough precautions taken to deal with the risks.
 Record the findings in more than 5 employees are working at the place.

nearby area for PM, RSPM, SO2 and NOx.

Occasionally ambient air quality should also to be monitored for work area to check
fugitive emissions, if any.

A greenbelt around the facility and near the possible source of fugitive emissions should
be developed for reducing the air pollution and attenuation of noise.
7.4.2.1 ACTION PLAN TO CONTROL AND MONITOR SECONDARY FUGITIVE EMISSIONS
FROM ALL THE SOURCES
To mitigate fugitive emissions, the following steps would be taken:

Minimum number of flanges, joints and valves in pipelines

Selection / use of state-of-the art leak proof valves

Provision of mechanical seals in pumps

Regular inspection of floating roof seals and proper preventive maintenance of roofs
and seals for tanks

Monitoring and preventive maintenance of valves, flanges, joints, etc.
7-5

Fugitive emission from tanks, chemical loading, transfer area, may be collected
through hoods and ducts by induced draft and controlled by scrubber/ dust collector,
if required.

Dedicated scrubbers will be provided to control fugitive emissions.

For particulate / dust emissions from the coal handling system, cyclones / bag filter
shall be provided.

Enclosures to chemical storage area, collection of emission from loading of raw
materials through hoods and ducts by induced draft, and control by scrubber / dust
collector may be ensured, if required.
7.4.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
The sound pressure level, generated by noise source, decrease with increasing distance
from the source due to wave divergence. The impact of the noise can be better understood
with the help of a Modeling. The propagation and attenuation of noise pressure wave is
dependent on many parameters amongst which, the medium of travel and the ambient
conditions are the most significant parameters.
As per WHO recommendations, there is no risk of damage in hearing due to the noise levels
up to 75 dB(A) (Leq- 8 hrs), whereas OSHA specifies the same as 90 dB(A). This sound
pressure levels are used to describe the exposure to noise in workplace.

There may be small addition to the ambient noise level, due to the increased
transportation activities. This creates a slight adverse impact over the sound
environment. Regular oiling, lubrication and maintenance of the equipments should
be carried out to minimise noise generation.
However, due to the attenuation of noise level within the factory no significant impact will
be expected in the nearby human settlement (2 km away from the site). The company will
develop a green belt within the facility premises, which will act as a barrier to the
propagation of noise from the facility premises.

It is recommended to measure and maintain records of noise level at various places
within and outside CETP & MEE premises.
7-6

Manufacturers/ suppliers of major noise generating equipment/ machines like
blowers, pumps, motors, etc. should be asked to take required measures for
minimizing the noise levels generated by machines by using noise absorbing material
for various enclosures or using appropriate design/ technology for fabricating/
assembling the machines.

Audiometric tests should be conducted periodically for the employees working close
to the high noise sources.
7.4.4 LAND ENVIRONMENT
7.4.4.1 HAZARDOUS WASTE DISPOSAL
Four categories of hazardous waste will be generated from CETP & MEE. The hazardous
wastes generated will be ETP Sludge from Common Effluent Treatment Plant, Used oil from
lubrication of equipment, used drum/Bags and MEE Salt from MEE. These Hazardous wastes
will be store in scientifically designed and constructed hazardous storage area within the
premises. ETP sludge and MEE Salt will be sent to Common TSDF. Used Drum/Bags will be
sold to GPCB authorized dealers. Used oil will be sold to GPCB registered recycler.

Hazardous waste generation and disposal are given in Table-2.3.

Record of hazardous waste generation and disposal shall be maintained on printed
logbook.
7.4.4.2 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT
The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant and
surroundings areas. M/s. Khambhat Enviromental Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd will develop green
belt within CETP & MEE premises. About 22,663 sq. meter of the total land area is available
at the site; out of this area about 7,500 sq. meter area (33 %) will be covered as greenbelt
and other forms of greenery.
The selection of tree species suitable for plantation at the premises shall be governed by
guiding factors as stated below.
7-7

The trees should be tolerant to air pollutants present in the area.

The trees should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the area, be evergreen,
inhabitant, having minimum of leaf fall.

The trees should be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large and spreading
canopy in primary and secondary attenuation zone.

The trees should posses extensive foliar area to provide maximum impinging surface
for continued efficient adsorption and absorption of pollutants.


TECHNICAL DETAILS OF CETP
The company intends to set up the CETP of 500 KLD based on concept of segregation of
concentrated and dilute stream. The concentrated stream will be thermally evaporated and
condensate recovered will be utilized by the member industries, whereas the dilute stream will
be treated upto the extent of its recycling and reused by member industries.
Considering the scattered locations of member industries in the region, there will be formation
of dedicated tankers system for the effluent to be received at CETP and reuse of treated
effluent by the member industries. Member industries will provide two separate collection
tanks for storage of concentrated and dilute streams of adequate capacity.
The cluster intends to setup 500 KLD plant in stage wise manner in two modules of 250 KLD
each. Based on the experience of the member industries over the years, out of 250 KLD
effluent, 100 KLD will be concentrated stream, whereas @ 150 KLD will be dilute stream.
Most of the industries in the area are involved in business of similar type of products; hence,
characteristics of effluent from various industries will remain more or less of similar nature. The
inlet norms to be complied by the member industries for sending concentrated effluent to CETP
& MEE for further treatment.
Concentrated effluent and dilute effluent received through dedicated tankers at the CETP &
MEE will be stored in separate collection tank of adequate capacity. The concentrated stream
will be evaporated through Multiple effect evaporator and condensate recovered will be mixed
with treated effluent of dilute stream and will be sent to member industries for reuse.
Dilute effluent stream will be given effective and efficient treatment so as to achieve the quality
of effluent for reuse/recycling criteria by the member industries.
