1.2 Need for the Project & its Importance to the Country

The rising gap between demand and supply has propelled Tagros to put up a new
plant for its products with extended capacities to cater to the requirements of its
customers which hitherto have not been serviced due to lack of production
capacities. Tagros desires to set up a Green Field Project at Dahej for the production
of Synthetic Pyrethroids, Pesticide Intermediates, and Herbicides etc.

Tagros has been in the business of manufacturing and exporting of Synthetic


Pyrethroids for more than a decade and hence has the requisite infrastructure for the
successful management of operations starting from procurement of raw materials till
the sale and realization of its finished products. Tagros also intends to manufacture
newer products like Carfentrazone, Sulfentrazone, Metamitron etc. in the Herbicides
category. Tagros already has experience in dealing with a Herbicide product
through its subsidiary company and has the required infrastructure to successfully
manufacture and market the newer products all over the globe including the
regulated markets.

Tagros, on completion of this project, would become one of the top five companies in
India in terms of manufacturing capacities and would also become the largest
manufacturer of some of the finished products in the World.

1.3 Site Selection Criteria

The proposed project is to be set-up in the GIDC Industrial Estate, which has all
required infrastructure, therefore no alternative site is considered. The suitability of
a site, for setting up the proposed project is determined by the following major
considerations.

 Plot No.: 43/1 is situated in developed industrial estate of GIDC and this estate is
declared as chemical zone.

 Most of the raw materials are available in and around.

 Easy availability of raw water.

 Effluent Disposal facility developed by GIDC.

1.4 Objectives of EIA Study

 As per provision of the EIA notification, 2006 under the Environmental


(Protection) Act, 1986, new projects can be undertaken only after obtaining an
Environmental Clearance (EC). Any project seeking an environmental clearance
requires an EIA report, prepared in accordance with guidelines of Ministry of
Environment & Forests (MoEF), Government of India.

 To have an in-depth know-how of the project and to indentify the probable


sources of pollution that may arise due to proposed manufacturing activity of
M/s. Tagros Chemicals India Ltd.

 To assess existing environmental status of the study area of the proposed project
by collecting the baseline data of the environmental attributes including air,
water, noise, land/soil, ecological and socioeconomic components.

 To estimate the impacts of the proposed project on the surrounding


environment.

 To prepare a comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (EMP) and


suggest preventive and mitigative measures to minimize adverse impacts and to
maximize beneficial impacts.

1.5 Purpose of the Report

It may be noted that the manufacturing of Pesticides Technical Products and


Agrochemicals fall under Clause No. 5 (b) of Category “A” as stated in the
Environmental Impact Assessment notification dated 14-09-2006 and therefore
Environmental Clearance for these products is required to be obtained. It was due to
this fact that an application was made to Ministry of Environment and Forests, New
Delhi for obtaining the related Environmental Clearance.

STEP 1: Preparation of Tertachloro ButyroNitrile (TBN):

A glass lined MS reactor pH is adjusted to 3.0 – 3.5 by adding a mixture of Cat 1


(50/50). Cat 2 and acetonitrile are added. The contents are heated to 120 + 1 oC and
feeding is started simultaneously from two separate lines of acrylonitrile and carbon
tetrachloride. After complete addition, the reaction mixture is digested for 3 hours at
the same temperature. The reactor contents are cooled to 70 – 75o C. Water is added and
the reaction mixture is stirred for 30 minutes. Aqueous phase is drained to ETP and
organic phase to hold tank. The mass from hold tank is transferred to a glass lined MS
reactor (GL-2) and liq. Ammonia is added till pH reaches 8.0 - 9.0 and distillation is
started first at normal pressure when some fore-cut distills out at ~ 110 oC and later
vacuum of 600 – 650 mm of Hg is applied to distill out Cut I at 115 oC. Residual mass in
the reactor is sampled for TBN content, which should be greater than 98%. This is
transferred to TBN hold tank.

2.3.6 m - Phenoxy Benzaldehyde

 Manufacturing Process:

STAGE – I Formation of m-Bromobenzaldehyde

The Br-Cl complex is formed by charging chlorine and bromine in that order to
DCE(dichloromethane) @ 5-10 deg.C and which on further reaction with
benzaldehyde @ 10 deg.C in the presence of AlCl3 gives m-bromobenzaldehyde,which
is distilled under vacuum @ 120-125 deg.C., The reactor is vented through a heat
exchanger of proper MOC to avoid solvent losses with the venting of chlorine gas.
Bromine bottle is cooled in a suitable trough and charged to a rector through a funnel
of proper MOC.

The complex formation and bromination reactions are carried out in a glass lined
reactor having efficient stirring, reflux condenser and its vent connected to a proper
scrubbing system for gas absorption. Since it is an exothermic reaction proper care is
ensured. First chlorine is dissolve in DCE @ 2 deg C for 3 hours and then the
temperature of the solution is kept @ < 6 deg C. the bromine (pre-cooled) is charged
and a Slight negative pressure is maintained to avoid vapours of bromine.

Now to the aluminum chloride in DCE benzaldehyde is added. Since AlCl3 reacts
violently with water, proper care is taken to avoid moisture. To the above mass Br-Cl
solution is added and the temperature reaches upto 50 deg.C during end of the
addition. The above mass after cooling is charged to ice water and temperature is seen
not to exceed 28 deg C and layers are separated. The aqueous layer containing AlCl3 is
sold as a by-product and the solvent DCE is recovered and recycled. The washed
organic phase is subjected to distillation under vacuum (640-690 mm) for solvent
removal. The crude product is distilled to get product of purity in the range >97%.

2.3.10 DICAMBA

 Manufacturing Process

DICAMBA (2-Methoxy-3,6-dichloro benzonic acid) is manufactured starting from 2,5-


dichloroaniline . In the first step, the 2,5- dichloroaniline is diazotized in sulphuric acid
medium with aqueous solution of sodium Nitrate at 5-6˚C. the diazonium sulphate so
formed is not isolated but decomposed by addition to hot water and 2,5-
dichlorophenol so formed is isolated by stream distillation. The 2,5-dichlorophenol is
then carbonated by Carbon-di-oxide to yield 2-hydroxy-3,6-dichlorobonzonic acid.

First 2,5- dichlorophenol is treated with aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide to


form in potassium salt which is dehydrated by addition of xylene and distillation of
water as water-xylene azeotrope. The dry potassium salt is then treated with Carbon-
di-oxide at 130-140˚C in xylene solution under a pressure of 35 kg/cm2. The potassium
salt of acid formed is neutralized with hydrochloric acid to recover the benzonic acid
derivative. The unconverted phenol is recovered from xylene solution. In the last step,
the 2-hydroxy-3, 6-chloro benzoic acid is methylated with dimethyl sulphate and
aqueous sodium hydroxide to give 2-Methoxy-3, 6-dichloro-benzonic acid
(DICAMBA). The product is isolated after neutralization with aqueous Hydrochloric
acid and extraction with solvent toluene extract is washed with water and the product
is recovered by distillation of toluene

STAGE I : 2, 5-Dichlorophenol formation

Dichloroaniline is dissolved in 75-76% solution of sulphuric acid at 80˚C and the salt is
prepared. The cold salt is treated with aq solution of sodium nitrite at 5-6˚C to form the
diazonium sulphate. The Diazonium sulphate is decomposed in hot water to yield the
2,5-dichlorophenol.which is separated by stream distillation.

2.6 Facility for Treatment & Disposal of Liquid Effluent

The wastewater generated will be segregated and treated separately. From proposed
product manufacturing plant a total of 904 kl/day of effluent including 36 kl/day of
domestic wastewater will be generated. The process wastewater from the proposed
product manufacturing will be segregated considering its pollution load and finally it
will be treated in Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP).

Segregation of the Waste Streams:

The various streams generated from the industrial activity will be as follows:

Stream A:

The process effluent predominantly containing inorganic salts like sodium chloride
and sodium sulphate with traces of organics, is equalized, Neutralized and processed
through Lamella Settling system to remove any suspended solids.

Thus pretreated process effluent is then fed to Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE)
followed by Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) to recover inorganic baggable wet salts
(having moisture less than 10 %) and the condensate is taken for bio-treatment. The
condensate will have traces of organics due to low boiling organics and traces of
inorganic due to entrainment. The wet salt is sent for TSDF site for landfill.

Stream B:

The non process effluents like, cooling tower blow down, Boiler blow down, Softener
regeneration etc. along with domestic waste water and MEE condensate will be treated
in the bio-treatment Effluent Treatment Plant.

In the bio-treatment facility the effluent is equalized, neutralized, and its suspended
solids are removed through lamella settling system. Thus pretreated effluent is further
processed through aerator followed by clarifier.

The treated effluent is finally processed through sand filter and activated carbon filter
and discharged to the GIDC common effluent discharge drain meeting CPCB/GPCB
Norms.

Stream C:

Cyanide waste will be given prior hypo-treatment and will be treated in the MEE along
with stream A.

2.9 Noise Pollution

2.9.1 During Construction Phase

During Construction phase; construction equipment including dozer, scrapers,


concrete mixers, generators, vibrators and power tools and vehicles will be the major
noise source. Construction noise is difficult to predict because the level of activity will
constantly change. Most of the construction activities are expected to produce noise
level within safe exposure limit. The noise generated from various sources is expected
to be of short duration. The effect of such noise would be temporary and negligible.
Nevertheless, protective equipments will be given to the workers working in such
conditions.

2.9.2 During Operation Phase

The major sources of noise in industry have been identified as under:

 Diesel Generator
 Pumps
 Machineries
 Boilers
 Compressors
 Reaction Vessels

Adequate sound enclosures will be provided and proper maintenance as well as


lubrication will be done to all the equipments and machineries generating high noise.
Care will be taken to ensure that the noise level do not exceed 75 dB (A) during the
Day time and 70 dB (A) during the Night time.

However, earplugs/earmuffs will be provided to all the workers working in such areas
where noise level will be high. Further to this a large green belt area will be developed
within the premises which will help to reduce noise levels.

Hazardous Solid Waste Separate storage area for each type of waste having RCC
Storage Facility flooring covered with Asbestos roof. Hazardous waste is
ultimately disposed to secured landfill site.

Addition to above, industry will also provide storm water drainage system, provision
for restrooms for workers and drivers.

2.12 Green Belt Development

Implementation of greenbelt program is prime importance for any development. The


plantation and greenbelt development in an area not only functions as foreground and
background landscape features resulting in harmonizing and amalgamating the
physical structures of the plant with surrounding environment but also acts as
pollution sink. In order to mitigate the air pollutants, to control the magnitude of noise
generated by the plant, the unit will be develop greenbelt area in 21,359 m2 within the
industrial premises for the abatement of gaseous and noise pollution.

The green belt is developed to avoid any kind of fugitive emission in to surrounding
environment in any case. Special care will be taken while planting trees, as regards
their type and density. Industry will plant approx. 2,100 nos. of various types of trees
within the premises. The detail of proposed greenbelt development plan is given in
Table No. 2.14.

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS
An industrial project may cause some environmental impacts on the surrounding
environment. These impacts may be beneficial as well as detrimental. To assess
environmental impacts from proposed project at a specific location, it is essential to
monitor the environmental quality prevailing in the surrounding area prior to
implementation of the project. The environmental status within the impact zone could
be used for identification of significant environmental issues to be addressed in the
impact assessment study.

In order to know the cumulative impacts due to the proposed activity on the
surrounding environment, base line data was collected for various environmental
parameters including Air, Water, Land, Noise, Flora-Fauna & Socio economic status.

Baseline AAQ data indicates that concentration of ambient air quality parameter such
as PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx, VOC in the surrounding areas are well within the
permissible limits of National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards. Subsequently,
the concentration of baseline AAQ parameters like HCl, Cl2, HBr, HC at all monitoring
locations are much below the satisfactory level.

3.3 Meteorology

Meteorological conditions at the site regulate the transport and diffusion of air-
pollutants released into the atmosphere. Ambient temperature, wind speed, wind
direction and atmospheric stability are called primary or basic meteorological
parameters because the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these
parameters. Humidity, precipitation, pressure and visibility are secondary
meteorological parameters as this control the dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by
affecting primary parameters.

3.4 Water Environment

Water is the most vital resources for all kinds of life. It should not only be available in
sufficient quantity but also should be of good quality as well. Defilement of water, as a
result of human and industrial activities and consequent pollution of water causes
deterioration of the environment.

3.4.1 Baseline Data

Physico-chemical parameters have been used for assessing the base-line quality of
water environment and identification of impacts due to the industrial project.
Representative underground water samples from Three (3) different locations were
collected and surface water samples from four (4) different locations has been also
collected. Locations of the sampling points are as shown in Figure No. 3.1. Photograph
showing water sample collection is attached as Annexure-3.5.

3.4.2. Analysis of Samples

The samples under all categories were analyzed for various parameters specified by
the Ministry of Environment and Forests. For the collection, preservation and analysis,
APHA/IS methods were followed. The requisite procedure laid down in APHA/IS
methods were adopted for preserving the samples with suitable preservative
chemicals.

The results obtained from physico-chemical characteristics of surface water samples


& ground water samples of the study area during Summer & Winter Season of Year
2012 are presented in the Table No. 3.7 (a) & Table No. 3.7 (b) respectively.

The physico-chemical characteristic data indicates that both ground water & surface
water quality is satisfactory to serve domestic purpose as per drinking water quality
standards IS: 10500:2004 except three locations i.e. Galenda, Jageshwar & Padariya
villages. Our findings states that due to salanity ingress in the stated villages had

3.7 Biodiversity & Ecology

3.7.1 Biodiversity of Terrestrial Environment:

The variety and variability of organisms and ecosystems is referred as biological


diversity or Biodiversity. The biodiversity we see today is the fruit of billions of years
of evolution, shaped by natural processes. The vast array of interactions among the
various components of biodiversity makes the planet habitable for all species,
including humans. There is a growing recognition that, biological diversity is a global
asset of tremendous value to present and future generations. At the same time, the
threat to species and ecosystems has never been as great as it is today. Species
extinction caused by human activities continues at an alarming rate. Protecting
biodiversity is in our self-interest.

Ecological Impact Assessment (EcIA) is used to predict and evaluate the impacts of
development activities on ecosystems and their components, thereby providing the
information needed to ensure that ecological issues are given full and proper
consideration in development planning. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) has
emerged as a key to sustainable development by integrating social, economic and
environmental issues in many countries. EcIA has a major part to play as a component
of EIA but also has other potential applications in environmental planning and
management. Ecological Impact Assessment provides a comprehensive review of the
EcIA process and summarizes the ecological theories and tools that can be used to
understand, explain and evaluate the ecological consequences of development
proposals.

At the 1992 Earth Summit in Rio de Janeiro, world leaders agreed on a comprehensive
strategy for "sustainable development” to meet our needs while ensuring that we
leave a healthy and viable world for future generations. One of the key agreements
adopted at Rio de Janerio was the Convention on Biological Diversity. Article14 of
Convention on Biodiversity (Impact Assessment and Minimizing Adverse Impacts),
stressed the need to Introduce appropriate procedures of environmental impact
assessment for proposed projects that are likely to have significant adverse effects on
biological diversity with a view to avoiding or minimizing such effects.

Environmental impact assessments have become an integral part of development


projects in India ever since 1994, to formulate policies and guidelines for
environmentally sound economic development. Proper assessment of biological
environment and compilation of its taxonomical data is essential for the impact
prediction.

3.7.2 Period of the study and Study area:

The baseline study, for the evaluation of the floral and faunal biodiversity of the
terrestrial environment of the study area, within 10 km radius from the proposed site
near Dahej village, in Bharuch District has been conducted during February, 2012.

3.7.3 Methodology:

The primary objective of survey was to describe the floral and faunal communities
within the study area. The sampling plots for floral inventory were selected randomly
in the suitable habitats within the 10 km radius from the project site. The methodology
adopted for faunal survey involve; Random survey, Opportunistic observations,
Diurnal bird observation, active search for reptiles, faunal habitat assessment, active
search for scats and foot prints and review of previous studies, Desktop literature
review was conducted to indentify the representative spectrum of threatened species,
population and ecological communities listed by IUCN, WCMC, ZSI, BSI and Indian
wild Life Protection act, 1972.

3.7.4 Terrestrial Floral and Faunal Components of the Study Area:

The villages covered for the present baseline study are given in the Table No. 3.12.
The study area falls under Bharuch District of Gujarat state. The area of for the
present biological baseline survey falls under 18 villages. Southern part of the study
area is characterised by the large scale industrial development in demarcated areas of
Dahej GIDC, Dahej SEZ -I and Dahej SEZ -II.

3.7.5 Habitats:

3.7.5.1 The Project Site:


The project site is located in a Dahej – GIDC Industrial Estate. The project site is a
fallow land without any vegetation. The immediate surroundings of the project site
are fallow land & agricultural fields.

3.7.5.2 Study area:

The study area within 10 km radius from the project site located in Bharuch district of
South Gujarat region is observed to be with vast areas barren lands, salt ingressed
region and fallow lands. Agriculture is active mainly in monsoon season. During
summer season limited cotton and Castor cultivation are practiced. Tree cover in the
study area is very scanty and restricted only in the habituated areas of the village and
few along the boundary of the agricultural fields and along the road sides.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 144 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
Almost entire western part of the study area is occupied by vast mud flats and salt
pans. Mangrove patches of Avicennia alba, is observed along the right side of Dahej
jetty and also along the few creeks along the western boundary of the project site. The
landward portion of these mangrove patches were occupied by an associate species
Salvadora persica.

The tree species shrubs, herbs, climbers and crops, were documented during this base
line study. The list of floral species documented in the study area is enlisted in table #
2-6.

3.7.6 Floral Diversity of the Study Area:

The objective this floral inventory of the study area, is to provide necessary
information on floristic structure in the study area for formulating effective
management and conservation measures. The climatic, edaphic and biotic variations
with their complex interrelationship and composition of species, which are adapted to
these variations, have resulted in different vegetation cover, characteristic of each
region. The following account of floral inventory has been, based on the field survey
conducted for a short duration in the Februry, 2012, is not very comprehensive data
and is aimed only to give a general pattern of vegetation of this region during the
study period as a baseline data in absence of available secondary data. Listing of the
endangered, threatened and endemic species of flora in a locality and drawing the
attention to the occurrence of such species, would aid in creating awareness amongst
the local people as a whole to protect such species from extinction, and to take
necessary measures for their conservation. These type of floristic study is an inventory
for such purpose and hence a necessity.

The tree species observed in the study area is enlisted in the Table No. 3.13. The
undergrowth during the summer season was almost in dry state. The shrubs observed
in the study are documented in the Table No. 3.14. Herbs and climbers in the study
area are represented in Table No. 3.15 and Table No. 3.16 respectively.

3.7.6.5 Cultivated Plants in the Study Area:

The Tuver (Cajanus indica), Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Cotton (Gossypium
herbaceum) are cultivated as major crops in this area. Bajra (Pennisetum typhoides) and
Jowar (Sorghum bicolar) are cultivated in few pockets immediately after monsoon
period.

The prevalent cropping systems of this area are the cumulative results of past and
present decisions by individuals; these decisions are usually based on experience,
tradition, expected profit, personal preferences and resources.

In northern India, there are two distinct seasons, Kharif (July to October), and Rabi
(October to March). Crops grown between March and June are known as zaid. In some
parts of the country including Gujarat, there are no such distinct seasons, but there
they have their own classification of seasons.

South-westerly monsoon crops (Kharif), and post-monsoon crops, after the Kharif
crops harvesting (Rabi), can be considered to be the base of cropping patterns of this
region.

The crop occupying the highest percentage of the sown area of this region is taken as
the major crop and all other possible alternative crops which are sown in this region
either as substitutes of the base crop in the same season or as the crops which fit in the
rotation in the subsequent season, are considered as minor crop.

3.7.6.5.1 Major Crops:


Major crops in the study area are Tuver (Cajanus indica), Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and
Cotton (Gossypium herbaceum),

3.7.6.5.2 Minor Crops:


The minor crops of this region are Bajra (Pennisetum typhoides), Jowar (Sorghum bicolar)
and Divel (Ricinus communis)

3.7.6.5.3 Vegetables:
The vegetables grown in the study area are Rigan (Solanum melongena), Tomato
(Lycopersicon lycopersicum) and Val, Valpapadi (Lablab purpureus)

3.7.6.6. Horticultural Practices and Fruits Grown:

Not much horticulture activity observed in the study area.

3.7.7 Rare and Endangered Flora in the Study Area:

The IUCN Red List is the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global
conservation status of plant and animal species. It uses a set of criteria to evaluate the
extinction risk of thousands of species and subspecies. These criteria are relevant to all
species and all regions of the world. With its strong scientific base, the IUCN Red List
is recognized as the most authoritative guide to the status of biological diversity.

Out of 17000 species of higher plants known to occur in India, nearly 614 higher plant
species were evaluated by IUCN. Among them 247 species are under threatened
category (IUCN, 2007).

Among the enumerated flora in the study area, none of them were assigned any threat
category, by RED data book of Indian Plants. (Nayar and Sastry,1990) and Red list of
threatened Vascular plants (IUCN,2010, BSI, 2003)

3.7.8 Endemic Plants of the Study Area:

De Candolle (1855) first used the concept of “Endemic”, which is defined as an area of
a taxonomic unit, especially a species which has a restricted distribution or habitat,
isolated from its surrounding region through geographical, ecological or temporal
barriers.
Out of 17000 species of known flowering plants of India nearly 5000 species are said to
be endemic. Nearly 58 genera and 1932 taxa are found to be endemic to peninsular
India (Ahmedulla & Nayar, 1987).

Among recorded plant species, none can be assigned the status of endemic plant of
this region.

3.7.9 Status of the Forest, their Category in the Study Area

No forest observed in the study area except few scrub land and Goucher lands with
thick vegetation cover of Prosopis Juliflora. The mangrove patches were observed along
the mud flats on the either side of Dahej jetty and few creeks along the coast.

3.7.10 Faunal Biodiversity of the Study Area

For the documentation of the faunal biodiversity of the study area with respect to
birds, reptiles, amphibians, and butterfly species, a baseline survey had been
conducted. The study area falls under Bharuch District of Gujarat state. All together 18
villages were covered for the present biological baseline study.

3.7.10.1 Birds of the Study Area:

The sightings of bird species were very lass during the study period during February,
2012. The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were; Cattle Egret,
Intermediate Egret, Black-winged Stilt, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian
Collared-Dove, Spotted Dove, Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Grey Francolin, House
Crow, Purple Sunbird, and common Myna.

1,224 bird species reliably recorded from India, together with their status categories. In
total there are 1219 extant native species including migrants and vagrants (but
excluding 3 species now known to be extinct in the country, and 2 introduced species).
There are 923 breeding species (911 residents, plus 12 suspected residents).

IUCN evaluated 1254 bird species from India and categorized 77 species as threatened
(13 species as critically endangered, 10 species as Endangered and 54 species as
Vulnerable).

Systematic account of the birds in the study area with the status of occurrence is given
in the Table No. 3.17.

3.7.11 Aquatic Environment:

Large inland water bodies observed in Vav village and Jholva village were sampled to
assess their plankton diversity.

3.7.11.1 Methodology:

The samples for qualitative analysis of plankton were collected from the sub surface
layer of the pond. Water sample were filtered through plankton net of 20 µ mesh size.
The filtered samples were concentrated by using the centrifuge. The standard flora
and other literature were followed for the qualitative evaluation of Plankton.

3.8 Socio-Economic Environment

This study has been taken up to visualize and impacts on the socio-economic profile.
Base-line data has been collected for 18 Villages of Taluka: Vagra, District: Bharuch

To define Socio-economic status of the study area, base-line data for the following has
been collected.
 Demographic Structure

 Economic Status and Occupational Pattern

 Socio Economic Amenities

3.8.1 Demographic Status


The comparative demographic status of Gujarat and Bharuch District shows that
percentage increase of population in Gujarat is 19 % while in Bharuch district it is 13 %
from 2001 to 2011. However the decadal population growth rates in the State of
Gujarat and Bharuch District have decreasing trend during 2001 to 2011. On the
contrary the population density showed an increasing trend between 2001 to 2011 for
the State of Gujarat and Bharuch district. This shows an increasing trend for migratory
population.

Further in Gujarat, the sex ratio and total literacy rate showed decresing trend while
for Bharuch district it is vice versa during 2001 and 2011. Further looking sexwise, the
male literacy rate in Gujarat State remianed same while in Kutch district it has
increasing trend during 2001 to 2011. However the vice versa trend is found for the
female literacy as indicated in Table 3.22. The population in the study region is
predominantly rural.

The area of Vagra taluka is just 0.45% of the Gujarat State and 2.7% of the Bharuch
district. The decadal population growth of Vagra taluka (1991-2001) is greater than
Bharuch district but less than total Gujarat state show that population growth is
dynamic in the taluka lead to greater growth rate and is also true for the male
population. However the sex ratio of Vagra taluka is less than Bharuch district and the
state of Gujarat. These suggest more influx of male population in the taluka due to
industrilization. The proportion of Scheduled caste is less compared to scheduled
tribes in the Vagra taluka. The proportion of the scheduled caste in Vagra taluka is
ANAND CONSULTANTS - 163 - Rapid EIA
(NABET/QCI Accredited)
lower to the Gujarat State but more compared to Bharuch District. While the
proportion of Scheduled tribes is less in Vagra taluka compared to Bharuch district
but more compared to the total state of Gujarat. It is astonishing to note that
proportion of literate population in Vagra Taluka is less when compared to Bharuch
district and the State of Gujarat as whole. The work participation rate of Vagra taluka
is more compared to the State of Gujarat and native Bharuch district. The summarized
details of the variation of the Vagra Taluka with Bharuch district and State of Gujarat
are indicated in Figure 3.5 (A) & 3.5 (B).

At micro level, the demographic analysis between the total villages coming in 10 km
radius from the project site and Village Dehej where the project unit is located shows
that the sex ratio for the total population is more skewed towards male in total villages
in 10 km radius compared to Dehej Village where the similar situation also exist. This
is also true for Literate population. The sex ratio of 0-6 population and ST population
is more skewed towards female in total villges coming in 10 km when compared to
Dahej Village. Further though sex ratio is more skewed towards female, the sex ratio is
more in total villages coming in the radius of 10 km from project unit compared to
village Dehej where the site is located as indicated in Figure 3.6 (A).

Further at micro level it was found that the proportion of literate male population is
smaller in Dahej villages when compared with total villages coming in the radius of 10
km and vice versa for female literate population. This trend is also found true for the
SC population. While for total population the proportion of male population is
greater for Dehej village compared total villages in 10 km radius and vice versa
situation is found for total female population.This trend is also true for 0-6 and ST
population as shown in Figure 3.6 (B). The demographic details for the
villages/Town/City in the 10 km radius could be seen in Table No. – 3.24, 3.25 & of

3.8.2 Economic Status & Occupational Pattern


The economic status of a person has been broadly classified in to 3 categories (i) Main
workers (ii) Marginal workers (iii) Non-workers. Main workers are a person who
works for a major part of the year i.e more than 6 months in one or more than one
activity. A marginal worker is a person who works for a period less than 6 months in
one or more than one activity. A non worker is a person who has no economic
activity. Details of the economic status for study region are given in Table 3.27 the
occupational pattern of workers in the study region is given in Table 3.28.

The proportion of the worker population in village Dehej is less compared to villges
falling in the radius of 10 km from the project site, Vagra taluka and Bharuch district.
While vice versa situation is found in for the proportion of main worker population.
The proportion of marginal worker population in village Dehej is almost equivalent to
Bharuch district, greater than villages coming in 10 km radius from the project site but

CHAPTER – 4
ENVIRONEMTAL IMPACTS PREDICTION & ASSESSMENT

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an activity or an attempt to identify,


evaluate and communicate the environmental impacts of an existing project on the
environment. For, any proposed project, impacts are predicted depending upon the
inputs from source, efficacy of pollution control equipment and capacity of receiving
environment.

Environmental Impact Assessment Study for the proposed project includes:

 Identification of all components of the project and the environmental impact


associated by the existing project as well as prediction of impacts that may be
caused by the proposed project

 Evaluation of the impacts i.e. quantitative & qualitative assessment of the


impacts

 Communication to the general public, interested parties and controlling


authorities

4.1 Impact Identification

Identification of significant environmental impact is essential in the preparation of


EIA report, an attempt has been made here through the use of "Activity Effect"
matrix.

4.1.1 Identification Matrix

Impact Identification Matrix is shown in the Table No. 4.1 (for construction phase of
the proposed project) and Table No. 4.2 (for operation phase of proposed project).
For simplicity the entire project has been divided into two phases.

1. Construction Phase
2. Operational Phase

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 174 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
Various activities belonging to industrial project have been grouped and arranged in
rows. The environmental factors, which are being potentially impacted, have been
arranged in columns. A preliminary scrutiny has been done and the cells, which fall
at the junction of the “Activity” and “Factor” that have possible interaction with
each other, have been crossed.

The Matrix, thus, establishes the possible “cause-effect” relationship and identifies
the environmental factors being impacted and activities responsible for the same.

A. Construction Phase

Generally construction phase involves following activities:


 Site Cleaning
 Excavation
 Construction
 Installation of Equipment
 Transportation
 Material Handling
 Employment of Labour
 Greenbelt Development

Green belt development is proposed to be taken up at the initial stage and hence it
has been considered in this phase.

Generally, Air, Noise level and Soil are likely to be affected by these activities.
Although Flora & Fauna factors are also identified but impacts marginal.

B. Operational Phase

This phase of project is important as it generates long term impact as the production
starts. The primary impact causing likely deterioration will be on Air, Water, Noise,
Soil and Flora – Fauna due to gaseous emission, wastewater discharge,
transportation etc.

This phase includes following activities:


 Raw Material Storage & Handling
 Production

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 175 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
 Product Storage & Handling
 Transportation
 Gaseous Emission
 Wastewater Discharge
 Solid & Hazardous Waste Generation
 Employment
 Infrastructure Development
 Greenbelt Development

4.2 Assessment of Impacts

This section is devoted to the assessment of impacts, which are the most important
components of EIA, due to the industrial project. Assessment involves
determination of nature and extent of impacts due to the industrial activities or the
actions involved. Here it is determined whether the environmental impacts are:

1. Positive or Negative impact


2. Short term or Long term impact

Based on Environmental Impact Analysis, the Environmental Impacts under this


step are quantitatively and qualitatively assessed. Please refer Table No. 4.3 (for
construction phase of proposed project) and Table No. 4.4 (for operation phase of
proposed project).

Quantitative assessment, with the help of a mathematical model, has been done
wherever possible. In other cases, the impact assessment has been qualitative which
is based on available scientific knowledge and judgment.

The mathematical model used for assessment in the present study includes
“Industrial Source Complex Short Term” (ISCST-3) Dispersion Model for air quality.
For other cases i.e. Water, Noise, Land / Soil, Ecology, Socio-economic etc. The
available scientific knowledge & judgment have been used.

4.2.1 Air Environment

Air emissions have no boundaries and can migrate from one place to another
depending upon the wind direction and wind speed. The impact has been predicted
separately for construction phase and operational phase of the proposed project.

4.2.1.1 During Construction Phase

The impact due to construction activities will be limited to the period of construction
i.e. short-term impacts only. The air quality will be marginally affected by the
activities like excavation, civil construction, transportation & handling of
construction materials and installation of equipments. The main problem anticipated
will increase in SPM level due to dust contamination.

It may be noted that the causes of Suspended Particulate Matter in ambient air may
be due to loose topsoil and local meteorological conditions at the site.

Because of vehicular traffic there may be marginal increase in concentration of NOx


and CO. Regular sprinkling of water is proposed during construction activities for
the suppression of dust. The approach roads and vehicles will be kept in good
condition to minimize automobile exhaust.

The impact will be confined within the project premises and is expected to be
negligible outside the plant premises. Proper upkeep and maintenance of vehicles,
sprinkling of water during this phase, providing sufficient vegetation etc. are some
of the measures that would greatly reduce the impacts during the construction
phase.

4.2.1.2 During Operational Phase

The operational activities are usually expected to have long-term impacts on air
quality.

The major source of air pollution due to proposed project will be flue gas emissions
from Boilers & process emissions from product manufacturing plants. The
significant pollutants identified due to flue gas emissions are PM, SO2 and NOx

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 181 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
whereas from manufacturing plants are HCl, HBr, Cl2 & SO2.

The fugitive emissions of particulate matter will likely to arise during various stages
of operations such as material unloading, material transfer and storage etc. The
concentrations of pollutants at the ground levels have been computed using
computer simulation model to assess the impact of emissions for the proposed
project.

4.2.1.3 Air Dispersion Model Used

Air dispersion modeling can be used to predict atmospheric concentrations of


pollutants at specific locations (receptors) over specific averaging times (i.e. annual,
daily and hourly). An atmospheric dispersion model accounts for the emissions
from a source; estimates how high into the atmosphere they will go, how widely
they will spread and how far they will travel based on temporal meteorological data;
and outputs the pattern of concentrations that will occur for various exposure
periods, thereby providing the exposure risks for different receptors.

A mathematical model namely “Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST-3)


Dispersion Model”, developed by the Environment Protection Agency (EPA) was
used to predict and calculate ground level concentration (GLCs) of the contaminants
emitted during operational phase. This is based essentially, on the original Gaussian
Plume Model equation but is defined in terms related to atmospheric phenomenon.

Brief description of dispersion model used is given in the Annexure 4.1. Data used
for the evaluation of the ground level concentration for the proposed stacks & vents
is given in Table No. 4.5. The results of GLCs due to the proposed flue gas stack &
process vents are given in the Annexure 4.2.

When the above stated GLCs results are added into the 98% percentile concentration
of ambient air parameters, it gives overall AAQ of the surrounding study area. Air
quality contours for the various pollutants are given in the Annexure 4.3.

4.2.1.4. Assessment of Impact on Ambient Air Quality

Baseline AAQ data indicates that concentration of ambient air quality parameter
such as PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx, VOC in the surrounding areas are well within the
permissible limits of National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards.
Subsequently, the concentration of baseline AAQ parameters like HCl, Cl2, HBr, HC
at all monitoring locations are much below the satisfactory level.

The company will store and transport raw materials, products and hazardous
chemicals in closed containers to reduce the fugitive emissions.

Thus, there would be marginal adverse impact on the air environment due to the
proposed project.

4.2.2 Water Environment

4.2.2.1 During Construction Phase

During construction phase, quantity of wastewater generated will be very less and
the same will be treated by means of a septic tank/soak pit system.

4.2.2.2 During Operation Phase

Industrial effluent will be segregated considering its pollution load & treated
separately. The wastewater generated from the process will be equalized,
neutralized and treated through Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) & Agitated Thin
Film Dryer (ATFD). Thus, obtained wet inorganic salt are sent to the TSDF site. The
condensate water from MEE and ATFD along with non process effluent such as
boiler blow down, domestic wastewater etc. will be treated in the Bio-treatment ETP.
The treated effluent is finally process through sand filter and activated carbon filter
and discharged to GIDC effluent discharge drain meeting CPCB/GPCB norms.

Thus, it can be concluded that there will not be any significant adverse impact on the
water environment.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 184 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
4.2.3 Noise Environment

4.2.3.1 During Construction Phase

During construction, construction equipment, including dozer, scrapers, concrete


mixers, generators, vibrators and power tools, and vehicles will be the major noise
sources. Construction noise is difficult to predict because the level of activity will
constantly change. Most of construction activities are expected to produce noise
level within the prescribed limit. The noise generated from various sources will be of
short duration. Therefore, no significant impact is envisaged in the construction
phase.

4.2.3.2 During Operation Phase

The impact of noise depends mainly on the characteristic of the noise generating
sources, topography and atmospheric conditions. The noise generating sources will
be enclosed with acoustic proof material to cut down the noise levels. Further, 30 %
green belt will be developed in the periphery of the proposed plant. So, the
significant adverse impact of noise will be minimized.

4.2.4 Land Environment

4.2.4.1 During Construction Phase

Any construction activity brings significant change to the site topsoil. Excavation
and construction material waste disposal is likely to affect land. However, such solid
wastes are inert in nature and will be collected and utilized in filling of low lying
areas within the premises of proposed plant and road construction at the site.

4.2.4.2 During Operation Phase

During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid waste pollution on soil
causes direct / indirect effect on soil. As all necessary air pollution control steps will
be provided and based on the results of the dispersion model for the ground level
concentrations of various pollutants after the commissioning of the proposed
project, there will not be any adverse impact on soil.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 185 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
There will be no adverse effect of wastewater on soil since treated wastewater from
the effluent treatment plant with prescribed norms will be discharged to GIDC
Common Effluent Discharge through pipeline and ultimately disposed into deep
sea.

All necessary control steps will be provided for handling, storage and disposal of
solid waste generated from the plant. Thus, there will not be any significant impact
of solid waste on the soil environment.

4.2.5 Ecology & Biodiversity

4.2.5.1 During Construction Phase

Any construction activities can bring changes to the local terrestrial ecosystem.
However, these adverse impacts will be restricted to the proposed project
construction site and to some extent it‘s immediate vicinity.

4.2.5.2 During Operation Phase

Impacts on terrestrial ecosystem during the operation of plant will occur mainly
from air emissions. Air pollutants can interfere with the biotic and abiotic
components of the ecosystem and may include injurious effects when concentrations
exceed permissible limits. As all the necessary air pollution control measures will be
provided for the proposed project, there will not be any adverse impact of air
pollution on the surrounding ecology.

It may be noted that a green belt area in and around the premises will be developed
which will help in inviting small birds & animals and other creatures to proliferate.

Thus, the proposed project will not have any adverse impact on the ecology.

4.2.6 Forest/National Park/Sanctuary/Historical Place

There is no Forest / National Parks / Sanctuaries / Historical Places within 10 km


radius from the proposed project site.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 186 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
4.2.7 Socio-Economic Environment

The construction activities and development will make the area an attractive place
for people to move in or return to the area. A change in the demographic profile will
be observed as early as the initial phase of construction.

During operational phase the proposed project will generate direct employment for
about 830 person viz. including skilled labour, unskilled labour and office staff. The
indirect employment will also be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers
and other casual employment for many people.

Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs in the
plant, direct as well as indirect. Economic status of the local people will improve
due to the increased business opportunities, thereby, making a positive impact.
Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study area will considerably
improve.

Thus, the proposed project will have significant positive impact on the employment
pattern of the study area.

4.2.8 Health and Safety

4.2.8.1 During Construction Phase

Health problems are also likely to be experienced in the area as a result of immigrant
labor being careless about personal hygiene. Such problems will be minimized by
provision of adequate sanitary and health services.

4.2.8.2 During Operation Phase

Impacts on Health and Safety could be due to the operation of project activities like
processing, storage and transport facilities.

However, the industry has incorporated all the necessary safety aspects in planning,
designing and operation of the plant as per standard practices. Hence, there will be
minimal impact on this account.
ANAND CONSULTANTS - 187 - Rapid EIA
(NABET/QCI Accredited)
Health problems are also likely to be experienced in the area as a result of immigrant
labour being careless about personal hygiene. Such problems will be minimized by
provision of adequate sanitary and health services.

Pre-employment and periodical medical examinations will be carried out to assess


the health status of the workers and medical records for the same will be maintained
for each employee.

A qualified doctor will be appointed on a permanent basis and required medicines,


antidotes and first-aid box will be procured under the guidance of appointed Doctor
as per guidelines of Factory Act.

For the safety of workers, personal protective appliances like hand gloves, helmets,
safety shoes, goggles, aprons, nose masks and ear protecting devices will be
provided which meet Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Thus, no significant impact on health and safety will be occurred due to the
proposed project.

CHAPTER 5
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

5.1 Introduction

Any industrial development is associated with certain positive as well as negative


impacts on the environment. However, the negative or adverse impacts cannot
possibly rule out scientific development. At the same time, adverse impacts cannot
be neglected.

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been formulated for the mitigation
of adverse impacts. It is based on the present environmental conditions and the
environmental impact appraisal. This plan helps in formulating, implementing and
monitoring the environmental parameters during and after commissioning of the
project.

The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management's plan for
proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for pollutants
and for maintaining the environment. It also includes development of green belt
around the plant, proper safety of the workers, noise control, fire protection systems
and measures.

5.2 Objectives of Environmental Management Plan

The main objectives in formulating this environmental management plan are:

 To treat all the pollutants viz. liquid and gaseous those contribute to the
degradation of the environment with appropriate technology.

 To comply with all regulations stipulated by the Central / State Pollution Control
Boards related to air emission and liquid effluent discharge as per air and water
pollution control laws.

 To handle hazardous wastes as per the Hazardous Waste (Management &


Handling Rules) Rules 1989 and subsequent amendments.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 189 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
 To encourage support and conduct developmental work for the purpose of
achieving environmental standards and to improve the methods of
environmental management.

 To create good working conditions (avoidance of air and noise pollution) for
employees.

 To reduce fire and accident hazards.

 Perspective budgeting and allocation of funds for environment management


expenditure.

 Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a cleaner


and better environment.

5.3 Environmental Management Cell

Apart from having an EMP, it is also necessary to have a permanent organizational


set up charged with the task of ensuring its effective implementation. Conscious of
this, M/s. Tagros Chemicals India Ltd. will create a department consisting of officers
from various disciplines to co-ordinate the activities concerned with management
and implementation of the environmental pollution measures.

Basically, this department will undertake to monitor the environmental pollution


levels by measuring stack emissions, ambient air quality, wastewater quality, noise
level etc., either departmentally or by appointing external agencies wherever
necessary. The main purpose of the monitoring is to ensure the pollution is limited
to the allowable values and to take corrective action by either providing new
equipment or by improving the performance of the installed pollution control
equipments.

In case monitored results of environmental parameters are found to exceed the


allowable values, the Environmental Management Cell will suggest remedial action
and get these suggestions implemented through the concerned plant authorities. The
actual operation and maintenance of pollution control equipment of each unit will be
under the respective plant managers.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 190 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
The Environmental managers Cell will also co-ordinate with all the related activities
such as collection of statistics of health of workers and population of the region,
afforestation and greenbelt development.

Proposed Environmental Management Cell of the company is attached as


Annexure:- 5.1.

5.4 Fire and Safety

The company will provide sufficient fire extinguishers and fire hydrant systems for
protection of the plant building against fire due to electrical spark and short circuit.
Automatic type fire extinguishing system will be provided to protect the control and
computer rooms areas from fire hazards.

Qualified and trained officers will manage the environment and safety department.
All persons in operation and maintenance of the plant will be given basic fire
fighting training.

To avoid short-circuiting an earthing system will be designed and installed for a


ground fault short circuit. Grid resistance will be decided based on soil resistively
and allowance for corrosion. Electrical equipments will be flame proof. To avoid
road accident due to spillage of fuels and blockages of road, proper parking and
road safety signs both inside and outside the plant will be displayed.

Good housekeeping, proper and adequate ventilation and lighting will be arranged
for better workplace area as per guidelines of Factory Act. Personal protective
equipments like helmet, goggles, hand gloves, safety shoes, nose masks and ear
protecting devices like ear plugs/ear muffs will be provided to all the workers.

5.5 Noise and Communication

Care will be taken during selection of the equipments like compressors, pumps and
other machinery so that noise generation can be reduced. In addition to this,
effective earplugs will be provided and their use will be made obligatory in specified
areas where noise level is high and unavoidable. Sufficient number of dial type
telephones will also be provided in soundproof cabin with suitable flasher indication
to indicate incoming calls.

CHAPTER – 6
ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACT
STATEMENT
CHAPTER–6
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Generally any project or action includes various impacts, which vary in magnitude
as their beneficial or adverse classification. At the same time it is very important to
conclude that the “overall” or “collective” impact of the proposed project is
beneficial or detrimental.

In case of the proposed project, impacts are evaluated with respect to various
activities during construction and operational phase.

6.1 Air Environment

The general meteorological data collected during the study period confirms that
climatic status of the study area is consistent with the regional meteorology.

Based on the ambient air quality monitoring carried out in the study area and
ground level concentration evaluated by Dispersion Modelling, it is found that due
to the operation of proposed project incremental values of various parameters are
well within the permission limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality
(NAAQ) standards.

Hence, it may be concluded that there would not be any adverse impacts on
surrounding air environment within the study area due to the proposed project.

6.2 Water Environment

Base - line data reveal that as per drinking water quality standards IS 10500:2004
overall quality of both surface & ground water is satisfactory to serve for domestic
purposes except for three locations.

The total water requirement for the proposed project will be 1,383 KL/ day. Water
will be obtained through the GIDC reservoir to fulfill such requirements.

From proposed product manufacturing plant a total of 904 kl/day of effluent


including 36 kl/day of domestic wastewater will be generated. Industrial effluent

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 204 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
will be segregated considering its pollution load & treated separately. The
wastewater generated from the process will be equalized, neutralized and treated
through Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) & Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD).
Thus, obtained wet inorganic salt are sent to the TSDF site. The condensate water
from MEE and ATFD along with non process effluent such as boiler blow down,
domestic wastewater etc. will be treated in the Bio-treatment ETP. The treated
effluent is finally process through sand filter and activated carbon filter and
discharged to GIDC effluent discharge drain meeting CPCB/GPCB norms.

Thus, it can be concluded that there would not be any significant adverse impact on
the water environment due to the proposed project.

6.3 Noise Environment

Noise level in the project premises will be controlled at the source itself by
appropriate use of noise suppressing systems. Noise level in the surrounding study
area is well within the permissible limits given by the National Noise Quality
Standards.

Thus, noise generated due to the project activity shall create minor impact in
surrounding environments. This shall further be attenuated by a barrier of
plantation at the periphery of the plant.

6.4 Land Environment

The soil pollution is generally due to wastewater and solid waste. There will be no
adverse impact of industrial wastewater discharge as effluent from the proposed
product manufacturing will be segregated considering its pollution load & treated
separately using proper treatment methods. Solid waste generation will be very less
during operation phase of the proposed project. Hazardous waste will be properly
collected, stored & ultimately disposed to secured landfill/TSDF site.

Therefore, there would be no adverse impact on the land environment due to this
proposed project.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 205 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
6.5 Ecology & Biodiversity

The flora and fauna of the study area indicate that there are well diversified species
in the study area. There would be no adverse impact of air pollution on the
surrounding ecology as all the necessary air pollution control measures will be
provided.

It may be noted that the M/s. Tagros Chemicals India Ltd. will develop a large green
belt area, which will help in inviting birds and other creatures to proliferate.

Thus, the proposed project would not have any adverse impact on the ecology.

6.6 Socio - Economic Environment

The proposed project will generate employment during operation phase. The
indirect employment will also be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers
and other casual employment for many people. Local people will be given
preference for the jobs in the proposed project. Economic status of the local people
will improve due to the increased business opportunities, thereby making a positive
impact. Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study area will
considerably improve.

Thus, the proposed project will have significant positive impact on the employment
pattern of the study area.

6.7 Summary of the EIA Study

The salient features of the impact on environment due to the proposed project can be
summarized as follows:

 Construction phase will not impart appreciable impact, as indicated mitigation


measures will be followed.

 Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air
pollution control measures will be provided.

ANAND CONSULTANTS - 206 - Rapid EIA


(NABET/QCI Accredited)
 No ecological damage will occur.

 No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.

 Local employment opportunities will increase.

 Various other environmental parameters like Forest / National Park / Sanctuary


and Religious / Historical Places will not be affected.

 Environmental Management Plan has been formulated to control all the pollution
control measures and Environmental Management Cell has been set-up to follow
the formulated environmental management plan.

 On-site emergency plan has been prepared to prevent the occurrence of any
disaster and take care of all required safety measures.

Thus, the proposed project will have overall minor negative impacts on the
environment and these impacts will be encountered with proper mitigative
measures.
