Screening
Screening is done to see whether a project requires environmental clearance as per the
statutory notifications. Screening Criteria are based upon:



Scales of investment;
Type of development; and,
Location of development.
A Project requires statutory environmental clearance only if the provisions of EIA notification
and/or one or more statutory notification cover the proposed Project.
Scoping
Scoping is a process of detailing the terms of reference of EIA. It has to be done by the
consultant in consultation with the project proponent and with reference to the guidance of
MoEF as well as if needed from Impact Assessment Agency.
The Ministry of Environment and Forests has published guidelines for different sectors, which
outline the significant issues to be addressed in the EIA studies. Quantifiable impacts are to
be assessed on the basis of magnitude, prevalence, frequency and duration and nonquantifiable impacts significance is commonly determined through the socio-economic
criteria. After the areas, where the project could have significant impact, are identified, the
baseline status of these should be monitored and then the likely changes in these on account
of the construction and operation of the proposed project should be predicted.
Baseline Data
Baseline data describes the existing environmental status of the identified study area. The
site-specific primary data should be monitored for the identified parameters and
supplemented by secondary data if available.
Impact Prediction
Impact prediction is a way of ‘mapping’ the environmental consequences of the significant
aspects of the project and its alternatives. Environmental impact can never be predicted with
absolute certainty and this is all the more reason to consider all possible factors and take all
possible precautions for reducing the degree of uncertainty.
Page | 8
The following impacts of the project should be assessed:
 Air
 Changes in ambient levels and ground level concentrations due to total emissions
from point, line and area sources
 Effects on soils, materials, vegetation, and human health
 Noise
 Changes in ambient levels due to noise generated from equipment and movement of
vehicles
 Effect on fauna and human health
 Water
 Availability to competing users
 Changes in quality
 Sediment transport
 Ingress of saline water
 Land
 Changes in land use and drainage pattern
 Changes in land quality including effects of waste disposal
 Changes in shoreline/riverbank and their stability
 Biological
 Deforestation/tree-cutting and shrinkage of animal habitat.
 Impact on fauna and flora (including aquatic species if any) due to
contaminants/pollutants
 Impact on rare and endangered species, endemic species, and migratory path/route
of animals.
 Impact on breeding and nesting grounds
 Socio-Economic
 Impact on the local community including demographic changes.
 Impact on economic status
 Impact on human health.
 Impact of increased traffic
Draft Environmental Impact Assessment Report
Efficient mitigation plan should be drawn up for the selected option and is supplemented
with an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to guide the proponent towards
environmental improvements. The EMP is a crucial input to monitoring the clearance
conditions and therefore details of monitoring should be included in the EMP.
An EIA report should provide clear information to the decision-maker on the different
environmental scenarios without the project, with the project and with project alternatives.
Uncertainties should be clearly reflected in the EIA report.
Page | 9
Draft Report Submission & Public Hearing
Upon completion of the Impact assessment study with the above scope & objective, draft EIA
report shall be prepared for public hearing for proposed project. The draft EIA should be
reviewed at different level (From Coordinator to Technical Expert/FAEs) and then necessary
changes and modification shall be made for finalization of Draft EIA Report. After carefully
reviewing the whole EIA report special with reference to compliance of approved TORs,
submission shall be made to State Pollution Control Board for public hearing. The public
hearing shall be conducted in consultation of State Pollution Control Board and other
concerned authorities & organization as per the provisions of SO 1533 as amended timely.
Review of Draft EIA Report, Preparation of Final EIA Report & Application for EC
The draft EIA report prepared for proposed project should be reviewed at different level
(From Coordinator to Technical Experts/FAEs) and then necessary changes and modification
shall be made for imperative version of EIA Report for submission/ further application. During
this stage, all necessary details to address the queries or suggestion raised in public hearing.
After carefully reviewing the all details and public hearing issues, the application is to be
made for Environmental Clearance of the proposed project.

2.1.2 JUSTIFICATION OF PROJECT
The company is already engaged in the business of manufacturing of “Particle Boards” and
the proposed expansion project provides a potential growth opportunity for the already
running business of the company. Additional capacities of product range are required over
& above the existing capacities as the company expect significant growth of products in
local market.
Also the resin products have very high specific value in manufacturing of Particle Boards.
The resin products are used as binders to manufacture various products of Particle Boards
as per the required applications. Hence, the capacity enhancement of resin products is
proposed as backward integration to meet the captive requirement for particle board
manufacturing. Besides, in case of excess stock of resins, company has pan to sell the resin
to particle board manufacturer as the products have very good demand in local domestic.
Beside the benefits to the company, proposed project will have very good opportunity of

2.2.2 MANUFACTURING PROCESS
The products of existing & proposed project are same as described in earlier section. The
proposed expansion project will enhance the production capacities of the existing products.
The process of manufacturing of all products will remain same as those of existing unit. The
product wise manufacturing process and allied details like mass balance is presented below
in subsequent paragraphs under respective headings.
A. PARTICLE BOARDS
Capacity: 3470 TPM
Production Process:
Raw bagasse usually gets in baled form, from sugar mills with 50-55% moisture. This
baled bagasse is feed into Bales breaker machine after removing the binding wires,
the bale breaker disintegrates the bagasse and feeds through conveyor to wet silo.
The wet silo will discharge the Bagasse evenly to the dryer; the pith from the Bagasse
will be separated and stored in the pith silo and the fiber will be dried up to the
moisture level of 2 to 2.5%.
The dried fiber will go to Eccentric screen, where the fiber will be separated as core,
face and over size; over size fiber will pass through the Hammer mill and again charge
into the Screening machine.
The face and core fibers are stored in separate silos and will be passed through the
blender for mixing bonding glue in required quantity. After mixing the glue, the glued
fiber will be charged into the spreading machine. In the spreading machine the three
layer mat will be formed according to thickness and it will be passed through prepress machine, then it will be transferred to hot press loader cage through conveyors.
From the loader mat will be charged to the hot press where the curing process will be
done in required pressure and temperature. Cured board will discharge to the unloader and it will pass through the trimming section to trim into the standard size.
After trimming, the board will be stacked for cooling and further curing for a short
period. After curing it will be feed to Sanding machine for thickness calibration and
smooth surface finish. After sanding it will go to inspection for grading and quality
checking.
In Pre-lamination process both the surfaces of the Plain Particle board will be
processed in Hot Press with impregnated decorative papers for better performance
and elegant look of the board. After re-inspection boards will be sent for Kraft paper
packing, and then will be stored in warehouse for dispatch.

3.2.1 LAND ENVIRONMENT
The study area for landuse is within 10 km radius of Patel kenwood Pvt. Ltd.. located at Plot
No.: 1 to 6, Block No.: 67 - 68, NH-8, Village. Motinaroli, Tal. Mangrol, Dist.: Surat (Gujarat).
Area covers around 15 villages of Mangarol taluka, part of Surat District, villages as shown
in the Base map. Base map also depicts the major road and railways and river passing
through the study area. During the present study for land environment Landuse/Landcover
mapping, Geological mapping & study of geological features as well as soil quality has been
studied for the present EIA. The details of the conducted studies along with necessary
information, analysis and illustrations are described under respective heading below.
3.2.1.1 Geology & Topography
Buffer Zone: The study area is a part of Moti naroli, Surat district and having average
elevation of 11 m to 36 m above mean sea level .The prominent slope of the area east to
west direction. The kim river flows 1.33 km far away from the project side towards east to
south and move to west direction. It’s Perennial River. The Kim is the most important river
in this area and flows in a tectonically controlled ENE-WSW direction. North of Mangrol
taluka the course of the river is locally controlled by two parallel lineaments trending NWSE which attribute an apparently meandering attitude to the river. The most of the area
occupied by agricultural Land ant others (industrial area, Land with and Land without scrub
features, Habitat area, reservoirs/ tanks/ lakes/ ponds and canals).
Core Zone: In the core zone, the altitudes vary from 17 to 20 m msl. The slope of the area
is 3 m .There is no major naqlah and river. The area is flat & sloppy. Vegetation growth is
developed in the boundary wall side and others open land represent by bushes & grass.
Most of the area covered with buildup.
Geological Feature of Study Area:
The area belongs to the southern part of the Cambay basin. It is mostly occupied by
Quaternary sediments except for the south eastern and eastern parts where Deccan traps
occur at higher elevations and north eastern parts where Tertiary sedimentaries are
exposed. In the Surat district ferruginous sandstones of the Guj. series are underlain by
nummulitic limestone, sub-nummulitic gypseous shales and supra-trappean lateritised
sediments with pockets of bauxite. The stratigraphic sequence is as follows:

Page | 40
The Cambay basin, which is well known to be bounded by step faults on the eastern and
western margins, is also dissected into seven major crustal blocks in the N-S direction from
Mehmudabad to Billimora. The various crustal blocks identified are, from the north: (i)
Mehomadabad block (ii) Tarapur block (iii) Petlad Katana block (iv) Jambusar-Broach block,
(v) Kosamba block, (vi Surat block and (vii) Navsari-Billimora block. These blocks are
displaced, up or down, relative to the adjacent blocks due to movements along the faults
bounding them. Most of the faults have been found to extend quite deep and to affect the
Mono boundary considerably, as is quite evident from the relief of the Moha found along
the profile. Further, the seismic activity observed in the region, during historical as well as
modern times, suggests that these deep faults may even be currently active. The JambusarBroach block has a maximum crustal thickness of 38-40 Km with deepest granitic basement
at 6.0 to 6.5 Km depth. Towards north and south of this graben, the Mono as well as the
granitic basement are found to be at Shallower depths. The Deccan traps, which from the
basement of the overlying Tertiary sediments very in thickness from 1.0 to 1.8 Km and rise
to very shallow depths on the southern part of the profile. It is generally believed that the
Tapi and Normada rivers flow along parallel fissure zones trending NNE-SSW across the
Cambay graben. The above studies by Kaila at al op cit) have shown that deep faultsare
situated a few Kms (south and north from the present poraitions of Narmada and Tapi
respectively.
In the project side, no out crops are seen. The area belongs to quaternary age. The litho
logically, the area covered with Alluvial, estuarine and aeolian sediments, which have 2330m thickness.
Topography of Study Area:
The project area is almost plain and flat surface with elevation mostly ranging between
12m to 13m above MSL. There are wide plain, few slope region and basins in the southern
of project site. The majority of these plateaus are formed from cultivation, uncultivated,
waste to open land. The topographic variety of the region creates different environments in
terms of climate change, agriculture land, demography, industry and waste land. The
different areas can be distinguished as drainage and upland. The average elevation of the
project sites range between 12 – 14 m. 1 main water body Kim River flowing along the
South Western side of the project site with other tributaries. One seasonal rivers/streams
flowing from higher elevations in N, NE & E towards SW & W generally control the drainage
of the area and discharge the surface runoff water to Kim River, the major river of the area.
The maximum elevation is found near North East and south part of Moti Tarav & Karanj
villages where a Agriculture area is situated. The highest elevation has been noticed to be
35 - 36 m on the South East part of Karanj village. The lowest has been noticed to be 12 m
in western part of project site at Panjroli village.

3.2.1.2 Landuse/Landcover
Lanuse /Landcover (LULC) study has been conducted for 10 km Radial area from project
site.
The land use/land cover mapping was carried out using digital satellite image (GEO EYE
Satellite Image 2012, Band 2-3-4, Year 2012) procured from NRSA, Hyderabad. The analysis
of data was preceded by collection of ancillary data like the Survey of India, District series
maps and Census maps as base information for interpretation. The study area was
demarcated within the 5 km radius of the project site using buffer option on the ancillary
map collected. Ground truth study comprises of data collection of ground features along
with the respective geographical position in terms of latitudes and longitudes with GPS.
Using all the collected information the data was interpreted. Interpretation of the data
involved importing the data and clubbing the three layers into the single layer for
interpretation. The data was in standard projection system universally followed as UTM.
Finally the proportional presence of different land uses and land cover in terms of statistical
percentages was derived for the study area. Appropriate legends were used to represent
the various categories of landuse-landcover, and are written on the prepared landuselandcover maps. Area and distance calculations have been carried out using GIS software
after geo-referencing the interpreted data.
Based on the total variation and pattern in image the land use and land cover map of the
area was generated. The eight land use categories were delineated in this area viz. the Crop
Page | 43
land, Land without Scrub, land with Scrub, Plantation, River, Water body, Industry and
Settlement (Figure). Major portion in the study area is covered by Crop Land. The main
crops grown in the area is Paddy which is usually shown during rainy season. Many villages
grow horticulture crops like, Sugar cane, Mango, Chikku, Papaya, seasonal vegetations and
much portion of the study area occupied social forestry and natural vegetation. There was
also cultivation of Pulses in some villages like Tuvar, Juvar, cotton.
There are some areas covered by grasses these areas are delineated as Scrub. The study
area does not occupy any forest land. These areas in middle region are mostly elevated
region with sparse vegetation. The nearest forest is more than 70 km away, at Unarpada
from the village pipodra
The vegetation category Open was segregated based on the canopy density of 10 to 40 per
cent and Close as greater than 40 per cent canopy cover area. Both open and close
vegetation area are in the elevated region. But these areas have not been notified under
the Forest Act and being maintained by forest department.
There are many small water bodies in the region biggest being at Mota Borasra village.
Within the study area one river and its tributaries flowing is Kim River. There is canal flow
near the project site aprox 1.0 Km. there are some scattered industrial units in the region.
Near the Valesaral village there are land use categories like land without Scrub and this
area is mostly cover by brick manufacturing.
The area statistics of these classes are presented in Table below. Agricultural Land within
the study area occupies 78.70% (247.23 km2) of the geographical area. The industrial area
is covers about 2.93% (9.20 km2) of the geographical study area. Land with and Land
without scrub features about 9.94 % (31.23 km2) of the geographical study area. Habitat
area occupies about 6.25 % (19.65 km2) of the geographical study area. The features
observed in this category were reservoirs/ tanks/ lakes/ ponds and canals. It occupies about
1.76 % (5.54 km2) of the geographical study area.

The texture of the soil in the study area is clayey, medium black soil. The soil is having high
water and moisture retention capacity due to clay content.
Porosity of the soil in the study area ranges from 51 to 55 % of the soil volume. Hence, it
facilitates in the supply of oxygen to organisms decomposing organic matter, humus, and
plant roots; as well as the pore space allows the movement and storage of water and
dissolved nutrients.
The pH of the soil in the study area is moderately alkaline in reaction having pH in the range
of 8.04 to 8.69 except at Kosamba showing 9.12 pH. This high pH reduces the availability of
phosphorus and most macronutrients.
The CEC of the soils in the study area is >30 meq/100 gm. A high CEC is desirable because
nutrients are less subject to leaching and adequate quantities of nutrient reserves can be
maintained. CEC is a good indicator of soil quality and productivity. CEC is a relative
measure of the nutrient-holding capacity of a soil.
The detailed quality of the collected soil samples are presented below in subsequent table.

3.2.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT
3.2.2.1 Geohydrology
As per hydro geological investigation, water level around the Project area ranges from 4 m
to 7 m below ground level (Oct., 2013) depending upon topography as presented earlier.
The average seasonal fluctuation of water level in the area was reported to be 1-3 m during
the year of study and information gathered during hydro geological inventory of the area.
The general ground water flow direction in the site area is towards north east to south
west.

Regional Geo-hydrological Scenario
Rainfall, seepage from the drainage network, rivers, canals and tanks spread over the
buffer zone are the sources of Groundwater in this region. Rainfall is the major source and
as such maximum increment to Groundwater aquifers takes place in the Monsoon season
between June and September. Rain water after run-off, evaporation and Evapotranspiration percolates down through the soil formations depending upon the
characteristics of surface soil conditions and hydrological characteristics of the aquifer and
gets stored as ground water. Field traverses, discussions with the villagers, study of the
available reports, etc. have revealed that the Groundwater occurs under the following
conditions in the core and -buffer zone
1. Phreatic
2. Semi-Confined
3. Confined
Groundwater under these conditions depend on stratigraphical conditions, and subsurface
structural configurations especially the presence/continuity of the aquifers, aquicludes etc.
By and large the Groundwater in the buffer zone occurs under~phreatic conditions.
In the Hydrological point of view with regard to Groundwater increment it is the top
stratigraphical sequence of a region which is of major significance. With this in view field
investigations were conducted over the core and buffer zone (study area). Available reports
were also studied.
The project area is 43151.53 m2. Geological formations exposed near the surface in the
study area comprise of Basaltic Rocks of Decaan Traps, under varying conditions of
weathering, Alluvial formations of recent age, variegated clays, kankar and Nanmiulitic
Limestone of Eocene age. Consequently localised variations occur in the type of soil,
texture, cementing medium, consolidation factor, physical/chemical properties, etc.
Correspondingly hydrological factors and hydro-dynamics of the region show variation from
one location to another. However, the study has revealed that the variations are not very
wide. Hence, for any understand of the hydrological regime of our study area it is sufficient
if some general/representative values are assumed as applicable to the entire area. It is
with this approach the Geo-hydrological data of the area has been collected, analysed and
parameters calculated.
Nature of Formations
The hydrological factors of the top 20 m to 30 m of the stratigraphical formations are only
significant as far as environmental aspects are concerned. The study has been accordingly
conducted and reported. In general in the Deccan Trap area, the top 5 to 10 m are
weathered and fractured at varying degrees and the intensity of Groundwater infiltration
depends on these factors. In the Alluvial and variegated clay formations and also in the
Page | 50
Nunmulitic Limestone occurring areas, the top portion is weathered and disintegrated. The
Groundwater infiltration depends on the soil native, degree of consolidation, etc.
Groundwater Condition
Depth of dug wells and dug-cum-borewell, constructed in these formations normally vary
from 4 to 15 meters from ground level. Diameters of the wells vary from 2 to 6 meters.
Depth to water from the ground surface depends on rainfall, the elevation of the ground
and also local stratigraphical conditions and hence it varies from 1 to 15 meters within the
buffer zone. The normal range in the centre of buffer zone could be taken as 6 to 9 meters.
The gradient of water table generally follows the surface elevation and is mostly from East
to West with slopes ranging from 1 in 1000 to 1 in 400. As rainfall is the major source of
recharge, the dug wells show maximum fluctuations between Pre and Post-Monsoon
periods. Fluctuation of 1 to 3 meters can be taken as typical for the area. Yield of the
individual wells also vary from place to place depending on the localised Geo-hydrological
conditions. A properly constructed dug well of about 3 meter diameter and 10 to 15 meter
depth in a fairly well weathered and disintegrated formations .In this area could yield about
300 LPM. Specific Capacity of a well is of significance in design of the well as this will
indicate how much water a well can yield for a specific draw down. Specific Capacity of dug
wells in these formations vary widely from 20 LPM/per meter draw down to 300 LPM/per
meter draw down. A pump test conducted in a bore well located in site, has indicated the
specific capacity of 120 LPM/meter of draw down. Specific yield likewise is also an
important parameter for determining as to how much water will be released from the
storage of the aquifer. Field studies/tests have indicated a value of 3 percent as specific
yield for the formations encountered to a depth of 20 meters from ground level in Deccan
Trap area. For Alluvial and other formations the normal variation is 5 to 10%. Hydraulic
conductivity and Transmissivity of the Aquifer in the region studied showed variations area
wise depending upon the local stratigraphical conditions. Likewise variations in depth wise
also occurs due to nature of the Aquifer material, thickness and degree of consolidation,
etc. Accordingly transmissivity values varied from 30 m2/day to 150 m2/day within the
Core and Buffer Zone.
Groundwater Recharge and Potential
Source of Recharge
Recharge to the Groundwater basin or an Aquifer system mainly depends on infiltration
capacity of the soil, Hydrological characteristics of the substrata and the Groundwater flow
dynamics. Groundwater Potential is directly linked with the RECHARGE to the Aquifer and
DISCHARGE/DRAFT from the Aquifer. Infiltration capacity of the soil is the major influencing
factor in the determination of the quantum of the recharge of a basin. Infiltration capacity
in turn depends on the type and texture of the soil exposed at the surface or near the
surface. In the area studied it has been observed that rain water infiltration is the primary
and predominent source of recharge to the Groundwater system. Percolation/seepage
Page | 51
from the surface water bodies and the net work of drainage canals spread over the buffer
zone is also a major source of recharge. Separate assessment from these sources has not
been attempted on this is considered superfluous for this report.
Recharge Assessment
Due to occurrence of three major types of soils within the core and buffer zone, recharge
potential of the region/area will change correspondingly. However, on the environmental
point of view of the water. regime of the study area, such variations do not matter
significantly. Hence Groundwater recharge of the entire study area has been assessed
based on typical average value which can be taken as representative of the whole area.
A. Rainfall Infiltration Method
a. Total Area of the Buffer Zone- 314.16 km2
b. Average rainfall per annum- 10 mm 14%
c. Rainfall infiltration factor- 314.16 x 1.32 X 0.14
d. Annual recharge in MM3- 58.06 MM3
B. Specific Yield Method
a. Total area of the Buffer Zone=314.16 km2
b. Specific yield=6%
c. Water level fluctuation between Pre-Monsoon and Post-Monsoon=3m
d. Annual recharge in MM3 = 314.16 x 6 x0.3 =56.55 MM3
Average Recharge based on these two methods= 58.06 +56.55 / 2 =57.31 MM3
Discharge/Draft from their Groundwater Aquifer System
Assessment of Groundwater DISCHARGE/DRAFT or’ extraction from a region for domestic
purposes, irrigation, forestry and for industries is necessary for estimation of exploitable
water potential of the region and also to assess the environmental impact on the water
regime due to any industrial activity. Field survey has revealed that out of the total irrigated
land of 24723 has within the study area only 30% irrigated by means of ground water. The
rest of the area is irrigated by tanks and canals. Dug wells and Dug-cum-tube wells are the
main method of extraction of ground water’ by pumping for irrigation purposes. Water
requirement for irrigation normally varies between 35000 ltrs/day/Ha. to 45000
ltrs/day/Ha. of irrigated land. Pumping/watering is carried out for a period of 120 days
normally in a year. For forestry purposes, water requirements are estimated as 2000
ltrs/day/Ha. and 120 days of watering per year. Groundwater is also extracted for domestic
Purposes and cattle consumption. Water for domestic consumption is estimated as 40
l./day per person throughout the year and for cattle 20 l/day per animal through out the
year.
Page | 52
Based on the above assumptions the total draft from the basin has been calculated as
follows:
Total Population of the core and buffer zone =130366
Domestic consumption (qp) =1.90 MM3
Cattle Population =65183
Cattle Water Consumption (qc)= 0.48 MM3
Water utilization for area irrigated from Groundwater for irrigation (qi)= 31.15 MM3
Water utilisation for Industries (qd) 920 Ha. = 0.5 MM3
TOTAL WATER UTILIZATION PER ANNUM (QD) = qp + qc + qi
QD = 1.90 + 0.48 + 31.15 = 33.53 MM3 per annum
qf + qd = 0 + 0.5
As nearly 30% of the water consumed for irrigation will be recharged back into the
Groundwater system, the net water consumption or effective EXTRACTION/DRAFT (QDE)
works out to:
QDE= QD - (0.3 x qi) = 24.185 MM3 per annum
So the net Discharge/ Draft or Extraction of Groundwater from the whole of study area
works out to be about 24.185 MM3, as against the recharge potential of about 57.31 MM3
per annum.
Water Availability
Based on these two - figures, the RECHARGE-DISCHARGE BALANCE of the study area has
been worked out.
Net RECHARGE to the Groundwater System (QR) per annum = 57.31 MM3
DISCHARGE from the Groundwater System (QD) per annum = 24.185 MM3
So water available (QR-QD) per annum= 33.125 MM3
Stage of ground water development in the area is 42.2 %, which indicate that there is
plenty of scope further extraction/exploitation without causing adverse effect on the water
regime for any Water requirement for the project. As the Hydrological studies have
revealed surplus Groundwater potential in the study area, the entire requirement of water
for project can be drawn from the Groundwater sources itself. This will not create any
adverse impact on the hydrological environment.

3.2.2.2 Water Quality of Study Area
The details of the baseline study for the existing activities at M/s Patel Kenwood Pvt. Ltd. related to
water environment and in the surrounding villages; the water quality survey has been planned
through identification of water resources and appropriate sampling locations for both surface and
ground water in study area depending on topography, landuse, surface runoff as well as natural and
manmade drainage/irrigation canal systems. The prevailing status of water quality has been
assessed during winter season (December 2013).
The surface water sampling has been done at five locations. One river water sample whereas four
pond water samples were collected during the study period. The groundwater sampling has been
done at 6 locations (4 hand pumps and 2 bore well) well distributed in the study area. Sampling
locations for surface water and groundwater quality monitoring are shown in Fig. 3.1 and are
enlisted in Table 3.9.
As described in earlier section of this chapter, the standard methods (APHA, AWWA 2007)
prescribed for surface and groundwater sampling preservation as well as the analytical procedures
for individual parameter is followed in this study. The samples were collected on 28/12/13. and
results are enlisted in Table 3.10 &3.11.

The location of the project site is next to the busy national highway number 8 (NH8). It is
the busiest highway, as it connects the national capital Delhi to the financial capital
Mumbai, as well as important cities like Gurgaon, Ajmer, Ahmedabad, Surat, Jaipur and
Vadodara. The PM10 level at the project site was increased due to the transportation of
vehicles through the national highway 8. Transportation of vehicles cause dust from paved
and unpaved roads to be re-entrained, or re-suspended, in the atmosphere.
There is few large scale industries existed near to the Kosamba village. These industries are
well connected to the NH8 by Gujarat state highway 166 (GJSH166) through Kosamba
village. PM10 level of the Kosamba village was slightly increased due to the transportation
of heavy vehicle through the state highway.
The major sources of the air pollutants will be the flue gas emissions from thermic fluid
heaters and D.G. Sets. As the diesel and Bagasse/wood will be used as a fuel in the D.G. Set
and Thermic fluid heater respectively, there will be minor impact on the environment due
to the release of the flue gas emissions in the atmosphere.
Company has planned to install air pollution control devices (i.e., Wet Scrubber for Thermic
fluid heaters) to reduce the impact on environment and stacks of adequate height and
diameter are to be provided for the efficient dispersion of the pollutants from the proposed
utilities.
The predicted maximum 24 hourly daily average incremental ground level concentration
for PM10, SO2 and NOx is found to be 1.01 μg/m3, 0.415 μg/m3, 6.36 μg/m3 respectively
due to the proposed project expansion. The incremental increase in the concentration was
observed in downwind (SSW) direction at the approximate distance of 0.5 Km, 1 Km & 1 Km
for PM10, SO2 & NOx respectively.
It is observed that the resultant concentration for PM10, SO2 and NOx are to be below the
National Ambient Air Quality Standards published by CPCB, during the study period.
The source of fugitive emissions in the form of VOC occurs during the handling and
transportation of the formaldehyde. The fugitive losses will be controlled by using proper
handling and transportation methods (i.e., leak proof pipes for transportation and closed
reaction systems to minimize the emission).
The bulk storage and transport of bagasse can cause dust impact on the surrounding
environment. For that the company has Installed a water spray system to reduce bagasse
dust emissions around, and from, the site also the company has developed vegetated
buffers and fencing within the company premises to trap bagasse and prevent it from
blowing off the site.

The noise levels at all locations were found well within the limits of Ambient Noise Level
stipulated by CPCB. Slight higher night noise level is observed at Kosamba Village which is
caused due to frequent night movement of the heavy vehicles from the villages as the
village falls near the state highway from Surat to Ankleshwar and national highway from
Mumbai to Ahmedabad. No critical issue of noise level in the study area has been observed
throughout the study period.
3.2.6 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
In view of the need of conserving ecological quality and biodiversity, study of biological
environment is one of the most important EIA components. The aim of Ecological and
biological diversity study is to identify diversity of native species (flora and fauna) along
with its habitat in the study area. Ecosystem is a complex interrelationship between the
biotic (flora and fauna) and abiotic (physical and chemical) components including
competition (for survival in wild), dependency and mutualism. Further in respect to the
study area endemic species and alien species are identified, if any. In the ecosystem the key
stone species (basically predators) are also identified to know assess and define the
ecological setup clearly.
The proposed unit is at Village- Moti Naroli, Taluka- Mangrol, Dist- Surat (Gujarat). The
study area comprises of 5 Km radius around the proposed project site. The vegetation
mostly comprises of open scrub vegetation. Prosopis juliflora (Jangali Babul) is observed to
Page | 62
be dominant in the study area. Some portion of the study area is occupied by rural area,
agricultural field, social forestry and limited natural vegetation.
No National park / Wild life sanctuary/ Reserve forest comes within the study area of the
project site.
Sampling locations were randomly selected for study on biological environment based on
topography, vegetation structure, pattern and distribution.
The weather prevailing in the in the study area is warm tropical and semi-arid. Average
rainfall is 1000 mm to 1100 mm. The ambient temperature ranges from 7 °C to 46 °C.
3.2.6.1 Flora of the Study area:
The most dominant species of the area is Prosopis julifora, following Acacia nilotica, Ficus
religiosa, Delonix regia, Tamarindus indica, , Azadirachta indica, Ficus benghalensis, etc. No
endemic or threatened plant species area reported / recorded from the study area.

van is providing treatment for basic illnesses like cough, cold, fever, infections, malaria, dengue,
typhoid and hepatitis. Complicated case is to be referred to the nearest hospitals. While the service
is include curative medicine, the focus on preventive medicine and maternal child health as well.
Employment:
Economic resource base of any region mainly depends upon its economically active group i.e. the
working population involved in productive work.
There are different types of workers that may be classified as - Those persons who had worked for
at least six months or 183 days are treated to be Main Workers, on the other hand if person
categorized as worker has participated in any economic or productive activity for less than six
months or 183 days during the last one year are treated as Marginal Workers and Non – Workers
are those who have not worked any time at all in the year preceding the enumeration.

supply, P & T and communication. Electricity for lighting is available on 24 hrs basis in all the villages
under Jyoti Gram Yojana Scheme of Government of Gujarat.
The salient observations recorded during survey in the study area are:
 Agriculture is the main occupation. The main crop is sugarcane the surveyed area while few
respondents are having job in private sector or either government sector.
 Education facilities are available up to primary school. For middle, secondary and higher
studies people avail the facility from the nearest block and district.
 Mainly wood is used as fuel since availability of Kerosene and LPG in the villages.
 Most of the areas are having electricity facility both for agricultural and domestic purpose.
 Literacy level among the respondents is good. This is mainly because of better educational
facilities.
 Communication and transportation facilities are good in most of the villages. Maximum
villages having bus service facility.
Infrastructure Resource Base
The infrastructure resources base of the study area with reference to education, medical facility,
water supply, post and telegraph, transportation and communication facility and power supply etc.
The infrastructure resources details have been abstracted from Housing, Household Amenities and
Assets online information on census of India 2011 of Gujarat state, Surat District are described

have Road approaches are in all form like mud road, footpath etc. From the study area two towns
Kim and Kosamba are well connected with western railway and frequency of the trains are
excellent.
Power Supply: All villages in the region are electrified and electricity is available for domestic as
well as commercial, agriculture purpose in all the villages.
Awareness and Opinion
Awareness is the state or ability to perceive, to feel, or to be conscious of events, objects or sensory
patterns. In this level of consciousness, sense data can be confirmed by an observer without
necessarily implying understanding. In general, an opinion is a subjective belief, and is the result of
emotion or interpretation of facts. An opinion may be supported by an argument, although people
may draw opposing opinions from the same set of facts. For assessing the awareness and opinion
about the project activity socio-economic survey was conducted in the sampling villages. The salient
observations drawn through survey are described below.


A good number of respondent were aware about the project site.
Respondent opinion positively about the project. They said that any developmental activity
would make wider possibilities for the community, and it will help to raise the life style of
the area and Gujarat state also.
Purpose of Focus Group Discussion (F.G.D)
A focus group is a form of qualitative research in which a group of people are asked about their
perceptions, opinions, beliefs, and attitudes towards issues, problems, etc.
The main purpose of focus group research is to draw upon respondents’ attitudes, feelings,
beliefs, experiences and reactions in a way in which would not be feasible using other methods, for
example observation, one-to-one interviewing, or questionnaire surveys. These attitudes, feelings
and beliefs may be partially independent of a group or its social setting, but are more likely to be
revealed via the social gathering and the interaction which being in a focus group entails. Compared
to individual interviews, which aim to obtain individual attitudes, beliefs and feelings, focus groups
elicit a multiplicity of views and emotional processes within a group context. The individual
interview is easier for the researcher to control than a focus group in which participants may take
the initiative. Compared to observation, a focus group enables the researcher to gain a larger
amount of information in a shorter period of time. Focus groups are particularly useful when there
are power differences between the participants and decision-makers or professionals, when the
everyday use of language and culture of particular groups is of interest, and when one wants to
explore the degree of consensus on a given topic (Morgan & Kreuger 1993).
For this method we have conducted Focus Group Discussion in all villages form the study
area. Involve numerous respondents in FGD and find root causes and try to know their beliefs and
attitudes towards socioeconomic condition and discussed with them regarding their needs. In the
below given table the researcher has tried to mention some of their views:

4.1 GENERAL
As described in earlier chapters, M/s. Patel Kenwood Pvt. Ltd. is under operations at Plot
No.: 1 to 6, Block No.: 67 - 68, NH-8, Village. Motinaroli, Tal.Mangrol, Dist.: Surat (Gujarat)
India for manufacturing of Particle Board& Glues (synthetic resins) since February 2006.
The company is manufacturing of 1125 MTP of particle boards as well as 170 MTP of three
types of synthetic resins for captive consumption for manufacturing of particle boards.
After proposed expansion project, company will have enhanced production capacity of its
existing products. As mentioned in chapter 1, as per the EIA notification- 2006 as amended
products are covered under any category 5(f) and hence the company needs to acquire
Prior Environmental Clearance before inception of the production of products with
enhanced capacity. The present EIA study has been conducted by the EIA study team of
M/s. Unistar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd., Vapi. All necessary details of existing &
proposed project has been studied & referred carefully to determine the anticipated
impacts of the proposed project. The whole study has been conducted in line with the
awarded TORs issued by EAC (Industry), MoEF, New Delhi.
The details of the Impacts Assessment study as well as planning of mitigation measures for
the anticipated impacts of the proposed project are described in subsequent sections of the
present chapter under respective headings.
4.1.1 PHASES OF IMPACTS ASSESSMENT STUDY
In the opening phase of impact assessment, the study was conducted for screening &
scoping by EIA Team for further scheduling of the EIA Study by study of records, documents
& details provided by the proponent-M/s. Patel Kenwood Pvt. Ltd. At the later stage of the
screening & scoping, FORM-I of EIA notification SO 1533 was filed along with the
Prefeasibility report & Draft TOR and application to EAC, MoEF for approval of the draft
TORs. The Draft TOR proposed in Form-I was considered for further actions to start the EIA
study. The Questionnaire for the proposed project was dully filled for better outcome &
determination of further line of actions for EIA study. As described in earlier chapter 3,
baseline study was initially started with reference to the Draft TOR and up on receipt of the
approved TOR from EAC, MoEFall completed & ongoing studies were verified & confirmed
with reference to the awarded TOR to comply with the conditions of awarded TOR issued
by MoEF. Simultaneously, the reporting of the study was also started for extensive study &
review of work accomplished time to time. The study was conducted for 5 KM radial area
from site during the winter season in months of October 2013 to December 2013.

Measures
Page | 81
Primarily, studies for Identification & prediction of impacts were conducted by following
assessment of baseline environmental quality with special reference to the project
activities/ components and their potential stress on the environment. Further ground
reality survey by site inspections, meetings with associated technical & administrative
persons, technical data /document study as well as cross referencing with various subject
references was done for the purpose throughout the study period. All possible impacts /
stresses are identified for further study and citation of primary mitigation measures for
each identified impacts/stresses. The Environmental Impact Assessment was conducted by
following Checklist Method using the Questionnaire, Analysis & Interpretation of
document/record & Data by expert of EIA Team and Technical Experts of Proponent,
Scientific & Technical referencing for Identification & interpretation of probable impacts.
Activity-Impact relation approach for identification of impact has been used for the present
study and presented in diagrammatic form in subsequent section.
After Identification, prediction of the major impact, viz., emissions & Air pollution has been
done using mathematical modeling software for quantitative determination of probable
impacts of emissions. In the later stage EIA was conducted by the thorough study for
preparation of description of potential environmental Impacts & mitigation measures as
well as by following Matrix Analysis for identified impacts. The Matrix Analysis was
conducted only for operation phase as no major considerable impacts were identified for
construction phase. Further Matrix was formulated for two scenarios: with mitigation
measures & without mitigation measures.
With the necessary details of components of EIA study & necessary document review the
Draft EIA report was prepared and reviewed for necessary update for adequate and
efficient presentation of the proposed project activities, environmental impacts, mitigation
measures, safety & management plan etc. in EIA Report. Finally on receipt of Approved TOR
from Expert Appraisal Committee, MoEF, New Delhi; completed studies for EIA was
reviewed and verified against the Approved Terms of reference for EIA. All
recommendations & requirement sited by EAC, New Delhi were carefully studied to finalize
the EIA Report for submission to EAC along with EC Application. A detailed report for the
compliance of Approved TOR was prepared and covered in the EIA report as Annexure-I.
4.1.2 ENVIRONMENTAL ATTRIBUTES & PARAMETER
Selection of environmental attributes and parameters for impact assessment study is the
main & most important task. The quality outcomes of impacts assessment can only be
achieved by carefully selected environmental attributes & parameters. With this
fundamental requirement, in the very inception stage the environmental attributes &
parameters relevant to the proposed project have been selected. The main attributes &
parameters selected for the present impact assessment study are listed below.

4.1.3 MAJOR CONSIDERATIONS
As described in earlier chapter & sections, the proposed project is an expansion of the
existing unit of manufacturing of Particle Boards & Resins. Hence, the types & nature of
sources of impacts will remain same. However it has been noted that with the enhanced
production capacity after proposed project, the strength & quantum of the impacts will
increase significantly. Therefore, to evaluate the increase in environmental impacts due to
proposed project requires studying & considering the changes of resource utilisation as well
as increasing in potential of pollutions due to the proposed project. Considering these, all
necessary details of existing & proposed unit has been collected and studied as described in
chapter 2.
Measures
Page | 83
The present EIA study is focused to determine all probable impacts of all activities of
proposed project and study has been started with consideration of likely impacts of
construction works. However, it has been noticed that there will not be any major impacts
of the construction work as the existing unit of proponent under operation will be utilised
as site for proposed project without any major construction work. All necessary major
buildings & infrastructures are available within the existing unit and only some additional
plants, machines & utilities will be install within the open space within the existing unit..
Thus it has been noticed that the impacts of the construction phase would not be
considerable for further detailed study.
Further, with understanding of necessity of determination of the source of the impacts,
being negative or positive, likely to arise due to the proposed project, impact identification
& assessment study has been carried out for operation phase. The profile of study area and
all resource requirements have been taken in to consideration for the present impact
assessment study. Next to resources, the strength of the proposed project along with the
consideration of nature & process had been determined to cite the probable sources of
impacts. Such sources includes wastewater & solid/hazardous waste generation, emissions
from process & utilities as well as other probable source of impacts on environment like
noise generation, greenbelt development, employment, hazards associated with various
industrial operation and other aspects like use of products, CSR etc. Primarily all these
aspects of existing &proposed project have been considered to determine the type &
nature of impacts likely to arise from the proposed project. Site specific & product specific
operations have been considered for the purpose of identification of the proposed project.
In the later stage, necessary mitigations planned and suggested by the experts of EIA team
have also been considered to determine the residual impacts which are likely to be noticed
after inception of the proposed project.
The details considered for assessment of impacts of proposed project are described below.
 RESOURCE REQUIREMENT: The major resources required for the proposed project are
identified to be Water, Fuel and power only. The details considered are presented
below.
o
Capital & Recurring Cost: Total capital cost for proposed project will be
around 1210.0 Lakhs. Capital cost for EMP has been estimated around Rs. 40

 RAW MATERIALS& PROCESSES: Total 17 raw materials will be required for the
proposed particle boards & synthetic resins manufacturing unit. Further, the quantity of
the raw materials will be an important factor to consider as hazards associated with
transportation, storage & handling of these materials will have considerable impacts.
Out of these raw materials 7 raw materials have been identified as hazardous materials
as per provision of MSIHC Rules. The process flow diagrams of manufacturing of all
products have been considered for determination of source of impacts & pollution from
the proposed project as presented in earlier chapter. Additionally, the details of raw
materials, process and hazards associated with the materials & process of the proposed
Measures
Page | 85
project as given in Risk Assessment are referred for the purpose of impacts assessment
for proposed project.
 POLLUTION POTENTIALS: The proposed project being expansion unit for production of
particle boards & synthetic resins will have many major source of pollution. The details
of the pollution potentials are presented below.
o Wastewater: There will be total 9 KLD wastewater which will be only sewage
generated from the domestic activities after the proposed project. At
present 5.5 KLD sewage is generated whereas from proposed expansion
additional 3.5 KLD sewage will be generated. The industrial wastewater
is/will not be generated from existing/proposed unit.
o Emissions:Emissionsafter proposed unit will arise due to operations of only
Thermic Fluid Heaters &and DG sets as existing hot water generator will be
removed after proposed project. The emission will not be the major issue as
bagasse will be used as primary fuel for the thermic fluid heater. ADG set will
be installed in addition to the existing DG set to meet the power
requirement which will be the other source of emission for the proposed
project. The emission from DG sets will not have regular pollution potential
as those will be utilized only during the failure of supply by DGVCL. Besides,
emission from the process is identified as other source of fugitive dust
emissions which will be controlled by the cyclone dust separators &bag
filters for removal of the particulates and finally will be emitted through the
stacks attached to these APCDs. The process emission thus controlled will
result in recovery of raw material- bagasse, which will be reused for further
processing for production of particle boards or will be utilized as fuel for
utilities. The emissions from the existing &proposed project are presented
below.
o Utility Emission:
Existing:
 Stack-I: Hot Water Generator (Ht.-30 Mt., Dia-850 mm) &

4.2. IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS
Study for identification of impacts has been carried out in two parts. Firstly the
identification of impacts has been carried out by determination of impacting activities of
the proposed project. Then based on the outcome of the first part, further classification of
impacts has been carried out to identify all probable impacts in details. The details of the
impact identification study carried out are presented below in two different sections under
respective headings.
4.2.1. IMPACTING ACTIVITIES, PROBABLE IMPACTS & MITIGATIONS
In the beginning of identification of the probable impacts of the proposed project, isolation
of activity phase & groups of the proposed project has been performed for identification of
impacting activities as well as impacts of specific activities. With such task, the project
activities have been segregated in two main phases: Construction Phase & Operation
Phase. Further, the activities of the construction & operation phase have also been
distributed in main groups to aggregate activities of similar type & nature in single group
for easy appraisal of probable impacts.
The construction activities were considered in three main groups: site preparations, civil
works and fabrication & fitting works. As it has been described in earlier sections, the
proposed project being new unit necessary infrastructures and building will be constructed,
which will be created in considerably short time. Major site preparation works are not
required for setting up the proposed project as the plot in an industrial plot of a notified
industrial estate. Construction of buildings & sheds, fabrication & fitting of plant will be
Measures
Page | 87
required for the proposed project. Thus considerable impacts are like to arise during the
phase. However, it has to be noticed that the plot is situated in the corner of a notified
industrial estate. Hence, the probable impacts of construction will not be considerable as
the site is in an industrial area. Thus, the impact assessment has been kept limited to
operation phase only.
Further, in very inception of the EIA study data of the project activities & component as
well as study of operation has been done very cautiously & systematically. This has
revealed that there would not be any major impacts on environment due to the proposed
project except the impacts of emissions and major accident scenarios which may extend
out of the plant area.
It is also noticed that the impacts due to wastewater is not anticipated as industrial
wastewater will not be generated and only 9.5 KLD sewage will be generated which will be
disposedoff through Septic Tank & Soak Pit.
Besides, hazardous waste generation from proposed project will be process solid, used oil
& empty drums/containers/liners/bags which will be managed as per regulatory
requirement. The used oil & empty containers/bags/drums will be sold to authorized
recycler or re-conditioners. The process waste will be reused in next batch of production.
Thus not considerable impacts of hazardous waste generation & management are
anticipated from proposed project. Bagasse particles will be generated as waste from
process which will be either reused in process or will be used as fuel for utilities. The ash
from the utility will be sold to the brick manufacturer and other actual users.
It has been noticed that the impacts of hazards associated with proposed project is likely to
be major in case of catastrophes only. Minor incidents of spill/leak will not have serious
impacts on occupational health & safety but will be controllable with adequate safety
practices & preventive measures.
With these project details & remarks of EIA team, major details of handling-storagetransportation of raw materials & finished products, production processes, operation & use
of utilities, use of water & overall management practices of proposed project were
collected and studied from the records made available by the proponent.
The diagrammatic presentation has been prepared to identify the probable impacts after
review of project operation & documents as well as by discussions with the officials &
experts of proponent. The main activities of the project and associated environmental
impacts identified for further study are depicted below as illustration in figure 4.1 whereas
the detailed description regarding the anticipated impacts along with necessary details of
identification, prediction & significance as well as mitigation measures are presented in
subsequent sections under respective headings.

4.2.2 TYPES & NATURE OF IMPACTS
The second important step & task of the impact assessment study which determines
necessity of further study is classification of nature & types of impacts identified for the
proposed project. This task serves as the base platform for further study. Considering this,
the impacts identified for the proposed project activities are studied to determine the type
& nature of the impacts. As mentioned above, impacts during construction phase will be
negligible and not considerable so only impacts of operation phases are considered for
determination of types & nature. The summarized description of the types & nature of the
identified impacts are presented below in tabular form.

4.3 DESCRIPTION OF ANTICIPATED IMPACTS & MITIGATIONS
The proposed project being anexpansion project requires considerable quantity of water,
power, fuel, human resources, machineries & utilities etc. The land requirement for
proposed project is met by utilizing open space within the existing unit, which eliminates
the issues related with land acquisition. The details of all major resources required for
proposed project are described in earlier sections under respective headings. Considering
Measures
Page | 90
the above mentioned details of resource requirements and potentials of pollution and
identified impacts on environment; impact statements have been prepared after necessary
detailed study. The impacts statements for the proposed project as predicted & assessed
are described in subsequent section under respective headings.
4.3.1 LAND ENVIRONMENT
As described in earlier section, additional land is not required for the proposed project.
Even the proposed project does not require any additional major building & infrastructure.
Hence, issues related with land has not been cited to be major except the issues of
potential pollution & contamination likely to be arise due to spill/leak of hazardous
chemicals & waste. Considering such possibilities of accidental spill/leak some impacts are
likely to be occurred on land environment which are described below along with necessary
mitigation measures.
4.3.1.1 Anticipated Impacts
As described earlier, there will not be any kind of industrial effluent generation hence issue
of impacts on land due to wastewater disposal is not envisaged. Similarly, due to provision
of impervious lining for floor of production & storage area, impacts on land due to
contamination by minor spill/leak of chemicals are not envisaged to be major.
Further, major accidental leaks and spill of hazardous chemicals & waste are identified as
the main source of the Impacts on land. It has been noticed that hazardous waste will be
generated from the proposed project only in form of process waste, used oil & empty
containers/drums/bags. The process waste will be reused in next batch of resin production
and the empty drum/containers/bags and used oil will be manage as per statutory
requirement for recycling through authorized recycler/refiners. Besides, bagasse particles
from APCDs and Process will be generated as recyclable waste wastes which will be reused
in process as raw material or as fuel in utilities.The ash from utilities will be sold out to brick
manufacturer and other actual users. Thus issue of contamination of land due to hazardous
& non-hazardous waste is not envisaged. As described above, provision of impervious lining
in the storage & production area will be provided. Further, all the bulk storage tanks will be
provided with the dyke walls adequate to prevent runoff/spreading of spill or leaked
chemicals causing contamination of soil. The hazardous materials of the project are
being/will be transferred through closed pipelines by the PLCs control system to
avoid/prevent spill/leak of the materials. Such measures will ensure that there will be no
issue of soil contamination due to chemical spill/leak.
In addition to the above, it has also been noticed that soil contamination may occur if the
fugitive emission of particulate containing bagasse from storage & process is not controlled
properly with adequate APCDs. Considering the potential of pollution, proponent has
planned to install cyclone dust separators & Bag Filters to remove particulates from the
emission. Thus the impacts of the particulates will be minimized to acceptable limit.
Measures
Page | 91
Further, the materials of the project are likely to be transported in tanker or drums through
national highway, which may have considerable impacts on environment of the area falling
in the route of the transportation. During the incidence of major accident, the hazardous
materials being transported can have serious impacts on land where on it spilled or leaked.
Hence, it is suggested that the transportations of such materials shall be done with utmost
care as per the statutory requirements through the approved vehicles only. Also it is to
ensure that all vehicles are following the HAZMAT guidelines for specific chemicals and
possesses all necessary safety gears and safety documents & manual.
Beside these, it is noticed that the site is situated in industrial estate having drainage
network for disposal of wastewater hence issue of disposal of wastewater on land is not
anticipated. At last, greenbelt development in premises will have slight beneficial impacts
on land. Thus the issues of impacts on land are envisaged to be minor with implemented &
suggested mitigation measures.
4.3.1.2 Mitigation Measures
Considering the above mentioned impacts on land environment following mitigation
measures are planned &suggested.
o Impervious lining shall be provided in all area likely to be affected by the spill / leak
of hazardous chemicals/wastes.
o Automated material transfer system through close pipeline for all hazardous
Chemical to be transferred in bulk.
o Proponent shall maintain a good spill or leak control actions plan to cope up with
such incidents.
o Hazardous waste management as per statutory guidelines & requirements.
o All possible recyclable/reusable wastes shall be reused/recycled within the premises
itself.
o All transportation shall be done in closed truck/tanker approved as per statutory
requirement to prevent volatile emissions as well as leak/spill during transportation.
o HAZMAT guidelines shall be followed for transport of all hazardous materials. All
required safety & emergency equipment & materials including safety & emergency
management guidelines shall be provided on the transport vehicles.
o Greenbelt development in & around premises shall be adequately planned &
managed to ensure healthy & dens greenbelt/pasture throughout the life of the
project.
o Monitoring of soil samples shall be done as per Environmental monitoring plan.
o No waste shall be disposed off on land in any condition.

4.3.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The impacts on water environment are anticipated only due to the water consumption as
no industrial effluent is/will be generated from existing/proposed project. Based on the
facts & other project details
4.3.2.1.
Anticipated Impacts
Water consumption of the existing & proposed project is the key source of impacts on
water environment. However, it has been noted that the increase of the water
consumption will not be significant and will cause some acceptable impact on groundwater
resources of the area. As mentioned in earlier Chapter-2, the total consumption after
proposed project will be 50 KLD including domestic consumption @16 KLD, Industrial
consumption @24 KLD and irrigation of greenbelt consumption @10 KLD.
Further, groundwater will be used to meet the total water requirement after the proposed
project. Hence, there will be some considerable impacts on groundwater due to water
consumption; if not drawn & used properly. However, these impacts of water consumption
would be reversible and acceptable as the area exhibits good recharge potential and the
area falls in safe region for groundwater abstraction. Further, it has also been noticed from
the hydrogeological study of the area (as described in chapter 3) that the withdrawal of the
groundwater will not have much impacts on the groundwater resources of the region.
Furthermore, the company also intends to carry out rainwater harvesting in the premises in
the near future and the harvested water will be used to meet the partial water requirement
and the remaining harvested quantity of rainwater will be utilized for recharging of the
groundwater. Such planning for rainwater harvesting will result in considerable beneficial
impacts which will almost neutralize the impacts of the drawl of groundwater for proposed
project.Thus, with implementation of the aforementioned measures impacts of water
consumption will be reduced significantly. No surface water will be used and even no
wastewater will be disposed off in surface water resources of the area. Thus, no impacts on
surface water resource are anticipated.
Industrial wastewater generation is not generated in existing unit and similarly from
proposed project industrial wastewater will not be generated. At present sewage is
generated @5.5 KLD which will increase to total 9 KLD after proposed project. The sewage
will be disposed off though the septic tank & soak pit. Hence, issue of impacts due to
wastewater disposal does not arise. Thus, looking to the wastewater generation scenario,
issue of major impacts on water environment is not envisaged. However, it has been
suggested to take utmost care for adequate management disposal quality of sewage to
prevent any kind of impacts on water resources of the area.
Impacts on water resources may also occur as secondary impacts of soil contamination of
the soil as well as runoff of contaminated water from the premises resulted due to the
spill/leak of hazardous chemicals. However it has been studied that as the measures for
Measures
Page | 93
prevention of contamination of soil due spill & leak of hazardous chemicals are already
planned, chances of impacts on water resources as secondary impacts are not envisaged.
Thus, looking to the overall scenario of water & wastewater management, since there shall
be no additional load on the groundwater resources or impact on drainage pattern and
there shall be no discharge of industrial wastewater outside the premises, no significant
impact on the water environment is envisaged.

measures are planned & suggested.

requirement of project
o Implementation of safety measures & emergency management system for
management of hazardous chemicals
4.3.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
As mentioned in earlier section impacts on air is anticipated due to the emission from the
TFHs & DG sets as well as PM emissions from process. The proponent has already planned
efficient control measures to prevent / minimise the impacts on air environment. However,
to ascertain residual impacts of the proposed project, detailed study has been carried out
as described below.
4.3.3.1.
Anticipated Impacts
The proposed project is an expansion of the existing unit for enhancement of production
capacity of products. The heat requirement will be met through the heat generation using
proposed thermic fluid heaters. At present the company has installed one hot water
generator to meet the heat requirement of the existing unit. After proposed expansion this
hot water generator will be removed as all heat requirement of project will be met through
proposed TFHs. The company will also install one DG set of capacity 125 KVA in addition to
the existing DG set of 320 KVA capacity.
The TFHs will require bagasse as primary fuel and firewood as secondary/startup fuel. In
addition to these, company will require diesel for the DG sets installed to meet the power
requirement only during the tenure of failure from power supply source- DGVCL Power
Grid. The DG set will be operated by HSD only during hours of emergency power
requirement situations which include tenure of failure of power supply from DGVCL. Thus,
it has been noticed that the emission of gaseous pollutants from the utilities as well as DG
Measures
Page | 94
set will not be major as the emission from bagasse/firewood & HSD combustion. However,
it is necessary to check the planned mitigations for the proposed project by conducting
further study of determination of quantitative impacts of emission in form of GLC.
Besides these stationary emissions, the particulate emission from various areas of
production house, if not controlled with adequate dust collection system, may cause
impacts on the air which can result in many secondary impacts like occupation & public
health, soil contamination and on plants due to reduced photosynthesis and so on
ecological conditions etc. Thus, considering these impacts as well as necessity to control the
impacts, company has planned to install the cyclone dust separators & Bag filters for
removal of particulates containing the bagasse particles as major pollutants generated from
the processes of particle board manufacturing. The planned dust removal & collection
systems will be removethe particulates and these APCDs will be attached to a stationary
stack. The remaining bagasse containing particulates in the emission requires attention for
the estimation of further potential impacts as it may have considerable impacts on the air
quality as well as other environmental attributes.
Besides, impacts on air quality are also likely to occur because of the accidental release of
chemicals spilled, leaked or escaping from the storage & handling operations. Mainly the
VOC &particulate are anticipated in the Work place air due to such incidents of accidental
release. All necessary mitigation measures like PPEs, workplace monitoring etc. shall be
implemented to minimize these impacts.
Considering the necessity of the further study to determine the quantitative impacts of the
stationary five stacks of proposed project, modeling study has been carried out using the
Aermod View software of Lake’s Environmental Inc., Canada. The details of the modeling
study have been elaborated with necessary information of input parameters as well as
outcome in form of Incremental GLCs and Predicted Ambient Air Quality in the subsequent
description & illustrations.

With consideration of above indicated input parameters, the modeling study has been
conducted to determine the Incremental GLC resulted due to the emission of proposed
project. The details of outcome of modeling in term of incremental GLC and predicted air
quality have been described below in subsequent tables & figures under the current
section. It has been noticed that the impacts of emission will be almost negligible below
monitoring detection range in all cases. Thus, it has been stated that the impacts of
proposed project on air environment will be almost negligible except the instantaneous
short term impacts of major accidents and accidental/fugitive release from storage,
transport & process which shall be controlled & prevented by necessary action plan and
control, precautionary & preventive measures suggested in RA. The details of modeling
outcomes are presented below in tabular form as well as contour of incremental GLC
values. The print out of detailed report for seasonal & 24 Hourly outcome with all
necessary input & output are enclosed in Annexure III

4.3.4. ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
As mentioned in earlier sections, the side is also already prepared and the proposed project
is to be developed in existing unit only. Hence issue of impacts on ecology due to siting of
proposed project is not envisaged. Besides, as described in above sections, no major
considerable impacts on air, water & land environments are anticipated. All impacts
studied are found minor & acceptable. Hence, the impacts on ecological would not be
considerable. However, some minor impacts are likely to occur due to the industrial
operations and hazards associated with the operations which are described below.
4.3.4.1.
Anticipated impacts
There is no ecologically sensitive area situated in 5 Km radial area from project site except
the considerable agricultural areas & few patches of forest. Further, the project is to be
developed within the existing unit itself without acquiring additional land. Hence, issue of
diversion of Forest land and impacts on ecology is not anticipated. Further, with respect to
the local terrestrial ecological component, it has been noticed that the impacts due to
proposed project would not be considerable as there would not be any major source of
pollution of environment. Even the most considerable source of pollution-emission, would
not be causing any harm to the local agricultural & terrestrial ecological component.
However, emission of some particulate matters from the process stacks will have some
acceptable impacts on ecology plants of local area. Further, it has to be noted that the
impacts would not be serious and considerable as the PMs are bagasse particle which are
plant materials and are not toxic for ecological components. Beside these, the impacts on
Measures
Page | 105
local ecological factors may occur during the major catastrophic incident in hazardous
storage area especially in formaldehyde storage area. Proponent has provided double
walled tank made of SS-316 jacketed with MS which is the best in class storage facility to
prevent chance of major catastrophe and accidental release of formaldehyde. Proponent
has also provided all other safety measures & has implemented safety, disaster &
emergency action plan. Thus, considering all the safety & emergency measures taken by
proponent it can be noted that there will be no considerable impacts on the ecology of the
study area.
The site is adjacent to National Highway No. 8 and all transportation will be done through
this highway. Hence issue of impacts on ecology due to the transportation will not be
considerable. It has also been noticed that the greenbelt development & management by
proponent will have beneficial impacts on the ecological layout of the local area.
4.3.4.2.
Mitigation Measures
Considering the above mentioned impacts on ecological environment, following mitigation
o Implementation of all mitigation measures suggested for control of air pollution,
water pollution, land pollution and noise pollution
o Implementation of control & prevention measures for all hazards associated with
the project
o Implementation of all measures suggested in RA and Disaster/Emergency
Management Plan
o Development & management of Healthy Dens Greenbelt
4.3.5. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
As described in earlier sections & chapters, the project does not require any additional
land & construction work. Hence no issue of impacts on socio-economic environment
due to land acquisition is envisaged. Impacts on socio-economic environment due to
proposed project are envisaged due to direct & indirect employment only which will be
beneficial. The details of environmental impacts of the proposed project are described
below.
4.3.5.1.
Anticipated impacts
As mentioned above, impacts on socio-economic environment may occur mainly due to
pollution of environment, competing use of water resources, hazardous material handling
& storage, hazards associated with proposed project, noise generation, traffic & load on
other public amenities.
As mentioned in earlier, the site is an industrial unit under operation of existing units. The
site is adjacent to the national highway and considerably away from the locality. Further,
Measures
Page | 106
the water requirement will be met through the groundwater but the groundwater
resources of the area are adequate to cater the requirement of all competing user of the
area. As described above, propose project will not have any considerable source of
pollution. To control noise level, necessary mitigation like acoustic enclosures, housing of
noise generating machineries in closed area/room, proper maintenance & lubrication has
been proposed by the proponent. Further, the traffic would increase considerably after
proposed project. However, the impacts on local road network will not be major as the site
is well connected & adjacent to National Highway No. 8. Besides, the transportation will be
managed with special transport vehicles having high carrying capacity to reduce the
frequency of vehicle on road. Hence, the traffic will not cause any major impact on road
networks.
Further, impacts on the socio-economic environment may occur due to hazards associated
with the hazardous chemicals and operations of the proposed project. Improper storage
and handling facilities of raw-materials, products and fuels may result in spillages,
contamination or accidents and ultimately damage to the total environment including
human health. To prevent & minimize the chances of such impacts of hazardous chemical &
operation, the designs of storage area & tanks have been provided as per the regulatory
provisions applicable for particular material. Similarproper arrangement for storage &
handling of material will be made available within the plant for proposed project. Adequate
fire-fighting measures are/will be provided in the entire plant to prevent impacts of fire
hazards. Risk assessment study has been carried out for the proposed project to eliminate
any major impact on social environment due to the hazards associated with the proposed
project. It is suggested that company shall implement all necessary risk/hazard control &
prevention measures as recommended & mentioned in risk assessment report.
Further, direct & indirect employment of skilled and unskilled person as well as technical
and managerial person for operation of the plant will result in slight beneficial impacts on
socio-economic environment. Besides, the indirect employment will also have beneficial
impacts on socio-economic environment. Mainly, the increased transportation activities
will result in considerable indirect employment as well as opportunity of trade & services.
Thus, with the adoption of policy of local employment, a marginal long term positive impact
is foreseen on the economic environment. It is also noteworthy that the beneficial long
term impacts will occur due to the CSR activities conducted by the proponent. Thus after
reviewing all above details it is envisaged that the proposed project would not have any
considerable adverse impacts on the socio-economic environment.
4.3.5.2.
Mitigation Measures
Considering the above mentioned impacts on land environment following mitigation
o All mitigation measures shall be implemented for control of air pollution, water
pollution, land pollution and noise pollution.
Measures
Page | 107
o Employment for /after proposed project shall be done with priority to the local
people and at least 70-80% employment shall be done from local areas.
o Hazards associated with the proposed project shall be managed/control by
implementation of safe work procedures, risk/hazard control /prevention measures
and provision of PPEs for all employees etc.
o The company shall conduct social activities as part of its CSR Program and activities
shall be planned by the proponent to enhance the social condition mainly for
education & health improvement in the project area.
4.3.6. NOISE & VIBRATION
There is no major source of high noise & vibrations. Similarly, there will be no major
noise & vibrations sources in proposed project. All noises are controllable & acceptable
with provision of some mitigation measures. The details of the impacts on noise level &
vibration are described below.
4.3.6.1.
Anticipated impacts
The proposed project being particle board & synthetic resin manufacturing unit will have
some noise generating equipment. The noise & vibrations generated from the proposed
project will be mainly due to operation of utilities: TFHs, Reactors & DG Set and motors,
pumps & compressors etc. Further, it has been noticed that the noise & vibration
generation from these sources will have considerable impacts only on noise level of the
area & work place. Besides, it is also noticed that the utilities will be founded in designated
rooms with properly designed foundations with rubber padding, which is efficient to reduce
the noise propagation & prevention of vibration from the source area to other area. Also it
has been noticed that the noise & vibrations generated from the small equipment &
machineries including pumps, motors etc. will be considerably low and will not have major
issue of occupational noise level. The vibration will be very negligible to cause any
significant effects on occupational health. Further, it has been noted that the project site
being considerably away from the nearby locality, noise generation from the proposed
project would not have any major issue as noise generation & propagation from the unit
will not change the noise level beyond the permissible limits/standard of industrial area.
Thus, impacts of the noise sources of the proposed project will be restricted with the
premises only within the prescribed norms of industrial area as well as occupational
exposure. Hence, no major impact is anticipated on noise due to proposed project.
4.3.6.2.
Mitigation Measures
Considering the above mentioned impacts on Noise Level & Vibration following mitigation
o Housing of all utilities will be done on sturdy non-vibrating foundations with rubber
pads.
Measures
Page | 108
o For prevention of noise propagation adequate barrier will be created in form of
properly designed building wall, housing DG set in designated room with acoustic
enclosure & silencer &greenbelt.
o Low noise generation TFHs & other machineries will be installed in unit.
o DG set will be selected meeting the CPCB guidelines for emission & noise generation
with acoustic enclosures.
o Further to cope up with the issue of occupational noise exposure, PPEs like earmuff
& earplug will be provided to all concerned employees.
o The impacts of noise on occupational health would be mitigated by proper shift
timing & regular annual checkup of concern employees.
4.3.7. OCCUPATION HEALTH & SAFETY
Impacts of proposed project on occupational health are anticipated mainly due to the
toxic & fire hazards of chemicals as well as physical hazards of heavy works. The details of
the anticipated impacts and mitigation measures are presented below.
4.3.7.1.
Anticipated Impacts
The existing & proposed project requires about 15 chemicals which includes 7 hazardous
chemicals as per MSIHC Rules 2000. These hazardous materials may have serious toxic
effects on occupational health. Mainly the formaldehyde, formic acid and Sodium
Pentachlorophenate are of major concern for impacts on occupational health. Continuous
exposure of employee to these chemical beyond permissible limit (TWA/TLV) may result in
permanent or temporary toxic or lethal effects. Hence, it is very necessary to assess such
possibility by necessary modeling study for determination of hazardous areas & risk. A
detailed RA for the proposed project has been conducted and it has been noticed that the
hazardous conditioncausing serious effects on occupational health may occur only during
the catastrophic incident. The details of all probable toxic & flammable hazards are
described in the RA report enclosed as Annexure-V. However it has to be noticed that the
minor continuous exposure to the above said toxic materials may lead to health issue in
long term. Hence, it is necessary to keep an eye on the health status of all employees on
regular basis.
Further, it has also been noticed thatimpacts on occupational health may also occur due to
heavy works like manual lifting of heavy good, continuous working in single position,
working in improper ergonomic conditions etc. Such condition or operations may lead to
health problems like OSD. Considering these, proponent has planned closed automated
transfer system for major raw materials as well as forklift & trolley for other handlings.
Thus issue of OSD will be very less in the unit.

of the operational activities on occupational health as well as to improve workplace
condition & safe work system.
Proponent shall practice similar practices after proposed project & also ensure that
all necessary PPEs, Safety materials/ equipment are in place.
EVALUATION OF IMPACTS
Matrix methods are basically generalized checklists where one dimension of a matrix is a
list of environmental, social & economic factors likely to be affected by a proposal. The
other dimension is a list of actions associated with development. These relate to both
construction and operation phases. Making cells representing a likely impact resulting from
the interaction of a facet of the development with an environmental feature identifies
impacts. With some matrices qualitative representation of impact importance and
magnitude are inserted in individual cell.
Matrices provide cause-effect relationships between the various project activities and their
impacts on the numerous environmentally important sectors or components. Matrices
provide a graphic tool for display of impacts to their audience in a manner that can be
easily comprehended.
Measures
Page | 110
The impact of different project activities on various environmental components like
ecology, environmental pollution, aesthetics and socio-economics have been summarized
in a form of a matrix and are presented in Table 4.6 & 4.7 for Operation Phase. As
mentioned earlier, there would not be any impacts on environment during the construction
phase as there will not be any major considerable construction work. Hence matrix was not
plotted for construction work.
To show the potentials of impact, a two-dimensional MATRIX System has been employed
with impact magnitudes of an each cause. All the impacts are confined to the study region
of 10-km radius from the Plant. The summary shows the influence of the Environment
Management Plan (EMP) also i.e. impact predicted for both, with and without EMP. The
MATRIX System assumes the following:
The environmental indices identified can be classified into the following:
Physical Parameters :
Ecological Parameters :
Social Parameters:
Economic Parameters :
Surface water quality
Ground water quality
Air quality & Climate
Soil Quality
Land use pattern & Topography
Forests/ Parks/ Sanctuary
Flora & Fauna
Aquatic ecosystem
Aesthetics
Local Housing structure

Fisheries
Industries
Employment
The assessment of the impact of the general impacting activities on the above parameters
of environmental indices can be done by establishing a co-relation by “Cause and effect
relationship” with the help of impact matrices. The matrices for operation phase are
presented below. The environmental impact matrices can be prepared for two conditions:
1. Without mitigation/control measures.
2. With proposed mitigation measures for adverse / beneficial effects.
The criteria for evaluation of qualitative matrix are presented herewith:
1. No Impact (0) :
This indicates that the project activity is unlikely to have any impact on an
environmental attribute.
2. Negligible Adverse Impact (-1) / Negligible Beneficial Impact (+1) :
It signifies that the actions have minor effect, adverse or beneficial, on the
environmental parameters concerned.
Measures
Page | 111
3. Significant Adverse Impact(-2) / Significant Beneficial Impact (+2) :
The activities and their environmental Impacts are judged to be significant if
they create, or have the potential to create concern in the public or professional
community.
4. High Adverse Impact(-3) / High Beneficial Impact (+3):
The action that can create or have a potential to create controversy in the public
or professional community due to its long-term effect. They may be at times
irreversible.
The criteria for Overall evaluation of qualitative matrix are presented below:
A. Highly Negative overall Impacts: Total Score= above -353
B. Moderately Negative overall Impacts: Total Score= -176 to - 352
C. Slightly Negative overall Impacts: Total Score= -1 to -176
D. Neutral overall Impacts: Total Score = 0
E. Slightly Positive overall Impacts: Total Score= 1 to 176
F. Moderately Positive overall Impacts: Total Score= 176 to 352
G. Highly Positive overall Impacts: Total Score = above 353
The environmental Impact matrix without mitigation / control measures during the
operation phase is given as Table 4.8, while the matrix with proposed mitigation measures
during the operation phase is given in Table 4.9.

The study for the proposed project of M/s. Patel Kenwood Pvt. Ltd. has revealed that the
upcoming activities of particle board &synthetic organic resin manufacturing will have
negligible impacts which would mainly occur only upon accidental spill/leak of
volatile/gaseous chemicals/materials. Risk assessment study has been conducted for the
proposed project and the suggestions made in the report shall be implemented strictly to
prevent any chances of environmental contamination and employee health & safety. By the
efficient implementation of Hazard/Risk control/Prevention measures the negative impacts
would be avoided.
Further, it has been noticed that the impacts due to utility operations would be negligible
as the bagasse & wood will be used as fuel. Bagasse is eco-friendly fuel which does not emit
Measures

any toxic pollutant and hence, there would not be any major impacts due to emission. For
control of particulate emission from process, company will install adequate APCDs (Cyclone
dust separators & bag filters) which will minimise the impacts of process/fugitive emissions.
Besides, the hazardous waste generated from the production process & utility operation
will be managed as per MoEF/CPCB/GPCB Guidelines. Hence issues of air & land
contamination are not envisaged. The water requirement will be met by drawl of ground
water from in-house bore wells. The ground water resources of the area are adequate to
cater the demand of the proposed project & other competing users of the area. There will
not be any kind of industrial effluent from proposed project. Hence issue of water or
land/soil pollution is also not envisaged.
The proponent will plant varieties of trees & shrubs in the premises. The Greenbelt will be
maintained in excellent condition giving visual of dense vegetation. The proponent will
manage the greenbelt with all possible care & attention to improve environmental
condition. Thus the beneficial impacts due to the dense greenbelt are envisaged.
Other than these aspects, it is also found that the high noise generation sources will not be
the part of proposed project. The TFHs, DG sets and production units may have some noise
which will be mitigated by installation of acoustic enclosure/silencer or barriers. The
impacts of increased noise level will be further mitigated by provision of PPEs and shift
management. The noise level out of the premises is envisaged to be <65-70 dB(A) in day
and 55-60 dB(A) in night as maximum. Thus looking to the source, potential noise level
generation & planned mitigation measures; impacts due to noise are not envisaged.
Company will regularly conduct the CSR activities for social welfare &upliftment. Necessary
documents & records of all activities at the Unit for adequate production, environment &
safety management will be kept on regular basis. All aspects of safety will be adequately
managed and required safety material, equipment and facilities will be provided to all
employees, contractor & visitors. Thus issue of impacts due to probable
hazards/risk/disaster would be minimal.
Thus looking all the management procedures/actions, environmental management
activities and other allied functions of management system, it is concluded that there will
not be any major considerable impacts on environment.

Chapter-6 Additional Studies
Page | 121
with four chemicals of the project (Formaldehyde, Formic Acid, Ammonia & DEG) which can
have worst case scenarios of fire & explosion as well as dispersion of toxic vapour &
flammable cloud. Besides, there are chances of pool fire in Diesel storage area. As, the
proposed project is of manufacturing of synthetic resins using some organic chemicals,
impacts are likely to occur due to some other chemical hazards also. Thus with such
probabilities & considerations of hazards & risk, Risk Assessment Study has been carried
out by proponent as pre-project conceptual RA study. The Disaster & Onsite Emergency
Management plan has also been prepared as a part of RA study assignment. The whole Risk
Assessment Report along with onsite emergency plan has been enclosed herewith the EIA
report as Annexure-IV.

CHAPTER: 7
BENEFITS OF PROJECT
7.1.
IMPROVEMENT IN INFRASTRUCTURES
The proposed project is an expansion of existing unit for capacity expansion with backward
integration and for meeting the captive requirements of resins for manufacturing of
particles boards. As mentioned in earlier chapters, the project does not require any
additional infrastructure and the site is well connected so no major benefits in terms of
direct improvement in infrastructure is anticipated. However, indirect improvement in
public infrastructure may occur due to the CSR activities of the proponent.
7.2.
EMPLOYMENT POTENTIAL
As discussed in earlier chapter -2, the proposed peak manpower requirement during
construction and commissioning will be 190 persons including 90 existing employees. Thus,
the operations & activities of proposed will require additional manpower of 100 nos. All
recruitments will be done from local area which will be the considerable benefit to the local
area considering the demography of the region/project area (5 Km).
Further, the indirect employment via increased transportation, ancillary units & local
economic activities will also add in the employment potential of the proposed project. Thus
the potential of employment will be greatly beneficial to the local people.
7.3.
OTHER TANGIBLE & INTANGIBLE BENEFITS
As mentioned earlier sections, the proposed project is to setup for captive requirement of
resin which is the prime raw materials of main product-particle boards. With the change in
product & its end utility purpose the quality & type of resin may vary. The particle board
manufacturing using resins from other producer or open market can greatly affect the
quality & cost of production of the particle boards and to avoid such issue of quality & cost
in-house production of the resin must be integrated with the particle board unit.
Considering this, company has decided to enhance production of particle boards and so as
an integrated plan for backward integration resins manufacturing capacity also requires to
be increased accordingly. By doing so the unit will be self-reliant for its raw-material and
thus it will help in reducing logistics and packing material requirements as well as
improvement of product quality. The proposed project will greatly improve the quality of
the particle boards, which will in turn promote the export of the products. The particle
board products have good demand in foreign market and company is looking forward to
explore the possibilities of export to many foreign countries. Up on successful achievement
of export by company, the proposed project will result in benefit to the country in form of
foreign revenue, duties etc.

GENERAL
M/s. Patel Kenwood Pvt. Ltd. is well established company manufacturing of Particles
Boards. It has established its name in the market by delivery quality products and
appreciable services to its customers. As a result of its strategic development for delivery of
high quality products, the company has grown significantly with increasing market values
and demand of its products. The company has now realized necessity to develop in-house
resins (bonding glues) production facilities to full fill the captive requirement of high and
specific quality of the resins. Also, company has observed great demand of its products in
India, which required increase the production of Particle Boards and so enough quantity of
resin for captive consumption. It has also found necessary to develop the expansion project
in the existing premises without any major additional construction works. The proposed
project being a synthetic organic chemical manufacturing unit located outside of notified
industrial area falls under category, 5(f) – “Synthetics Organic Chemicals”-“A”. In line with
the provisions of SO 1533, company has conducted the EIA study through the NABET
accredited consultant –Unistar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd., Vapi with respect to
the awarded TOR as described in earlier chapter.
With due considerations of requirements cited by EIA team to prevent &/or
control/minimize the probable impacts in line with the present EIA study, Environmental
Management Plan for the proposed project with modification in the existing EMP of the
proponent has been prepared as a part of the EIA report as per the requirement cited SO
1533. All the team members after the impacts assessment study have cited the necessary
mitigation for the probable impacts after further study of details of the proposed project
and necessary references for citing adequate & efficient EMP to eliminate / minimize or
prevent the likely impacts of the proposed project. The detailed descriptions of the
formulated EMP, as finalized by the FAEs under guidance of coordinator have been
presented in the present chapter under subsequent section with respective heading.
8.1.1. SOURCE & SIGNIFICANCE OF CONSIDERED IMPACTS
As studied during the present EIA study many impacts would likely to occur during
operation phase of the project. As the proposed expansion is to be done mainly within in
existing available buildings and sheds, no major impacts of the construction works would
occur. Considering this, the present EMP has been prepared in consideration of the impacts
of operation phase of the proposed project. The impacts as described in earlier chapter and
summarized below are considered for formulation of the present EMP.

9.2. SUMMARY OF IDENTIFIED MAJOR IMPACTS
As studied during the present EIA study, no major significant impacts from proposed plant
are anticipated except the cases of failure of APCD and catastrophic disaster in material
storage area.
As it has been studied there will be no generation of industrial effluent. Only sewage will be
generated which will be disposed off through the septic tanks & soak pit. Hence, issue of
water pollution due to the wastewater generation is not anticipated. Besides, the water
consumption will have some impacts on the groundwater resources as groundwater
abstraction at rate of 20 KLD in addition to the existing 4KLD. As the area of project falls in
safe zone the impacts will not be significant. However it has been planned to abstract the
Page | 149

minimal water from groundwater resources and rainwater harvesting will also be done. The
harvesting rainwater will be utilized partially to meet the requirement of the project and
remaining will be used for recharging of groundwater. Thus the overall impacts of the
proposed project on water environment will be very minor.
Risk assessment study has been conducted for the proposed project and the suggestions
made in the report shall be implemented strictly to prevent any chances of environmental
contamination and employee health & safety. By the efficient implementation of
Hazard/Risk control/Prevention measures the negative impacts would be avoided.
Further, it has been noticed that the impacts due to utility operations would be negligible
as the bagasse & wood will be used as fuel. Bagasse is eco-friendly fuel which does not emit
any toxic pollutant and hence, there would not be any major impacts due to emission. For
control of particulate emission from process, company will install adequate APCDs (Cyclone
dust separators & bag filters) which will minimise the impacts of process/fugitive emissions.
Besides, the hazardous waste generated from the production process & utility operation
will be managed as per MoEF/CPCB/GPCB Guidelines. Hence issues of air & land
contamination are not envisaged. The water requirement will be met by drawl of ground
water from in-house bore wells. The ground water resources of the area are adequate to
cater the demand of the proposed project & other competing users of the area. There will
not be any kind of industrial effluent from proposed project. Hence issue of water or
land/soil pollution is also not envisaged.
The proponent will plant varieties of trees & shrubs in the premises. The Greenbelt will be
maintained in excellent condition giving visual of dense vegetation. The proponent will
manage the greenbelt with all possible care & attention to improve environmental
condition. Thus the beneficial impacts due to the dense greenbelt are envisaged.
Other than these aspects, it is also found that the high noise generation sources will not be
the part of proposed project. The TFHs, DG sets and production units may have some noise
which will be mitigated by installation of acoustic enclosure/silencer or barriers. The
impacts of increased noise level will be further mitigated by provision of PPEs and shift
management. The noise level out of the premises is envisaged to be <65-70 dB(A) in day
and 55-60 dB(A) in night as maximum. Thus looking to the source, potential noise level
generation & planned mitigation measures; impacts due to noise are not envisaged.
Company will regularly conduct the CSR activities for social welfare &upliftment. Necessary
documents & records of all activities at the Unit for adequate production, environment &
safety management will be kept on regular basis. All aspects of safety will be adequately
managed and required safety material, equipment and facilities will be provided to all
employees, contractor & visitors. Thus issue of impacts due to probable
hazards/risk/disaster would be minimal.
