EIA for Expansion of Integrated Township “One World”
At Village -Baghamau, Lucknow (U.P)
Chapter 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 GENERAL
M/s Shalimar Lakecity Pvt. Ltd. are building the township project at village
Baghamau, Lucknow, U. P. This project is offering the development of 2, 3 and 4
BHK apartments, community centre with state of art infrastructure, Hospital, Child
care and maternity centre, clean and green environment within the framework of
planned sustainable development.
Environment clearance for the project has already been issued vide letter no.
2003/Parya/SEAC/1665/2013/TA(J) dated 22/10/2013. Due to evolving market
scenarios project proposal has been changed/modified. Hence the Project Proponent
is applying for a revised Environment Clearance.
To ensure and incorporate sustainable development practices it is essential to
integrate environmental concerns into development activities. EIA is currently the
only explicit legal instrument available to comprehensively assess resource impacts of
large buildings and townships. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is a
pre-requisite for getting Environmental Clearance from the concerned authorities of
the state or central government. The purpose of EIA Report is to assist in the
decision- making process and to ensure that the project options under consideration
are environmentally sound and sustainable. EIA identifies ways of making project
environment friendly by prevention and amelioration of the adverse impacts. Findings
of the EIA study will be incorporated in the design, construction and operational
phase of the proposed development. The approach adopted in the EIA study is to
ensure that positive environmental impacts are maximized and the negative are
minimized/reduced to the extent possible. The steps taken generally consist of
incorporation of appropriate mitigation measures in engineering designs, construction
schedules and techniques, as well as in operational and management practices
outlined as a part of Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
The EIA study of project has been done as per Appendix-III, EIA Notification,
2006 (enclosed as Annexure VIII) & EIA Guidance Manual – Building,
Construction, Township and Area Development, MoEF, Government of India

1.5 NECESSITY AND BENEFITS OF PROJECT

The built environment and urban infrastructure provide the core framework for most
human activity. Therefore it is crucial to develop them with an effective measure of
resilience so they can withstand, and adapt to the pressures of socio-economic
challenges posed by increased urbanization, density, housing shortfall, employment,
climate change etc. With nearly half of the country’s population expected to be living
in or migrating to urban areas by the end of the decade, at the crux of this framework
lie ‘Cities’- which are engines of national productivity.
People now want to live in localities in which majority of their daily needs are
fulfilled in the same locality. Also the township concept is well accepted by people as
they get all the facilities like housing, community centre, children parks, convenient
shopping etc. The development rate in Lucknow is taking place with a rapid rate and
as a result, the direct impact on the environment is envisaged.
The proposed scheme strives to attain the same by providing cost-effective as well as
luxurious Group Housing scheme that caters to the residential needs of the
population. The project is especially significant in providing housing facilities in
Lucknow and around, as the economic opportunities in Lucknow are increasing and
people are facing a very busy schedule due to which their priority is to go for such
townships where living and leisure facilities are provided under one roof especially
for business/entrepreneur class of people.
1.6 OBJECTIVES
In order to ensure that development is sustainable it is essential to integrate
environmental concerns into development activities. Environmental impact
assessment and management have been recognized as effective tools for facilitating
the inclusion of the principles of sustainable development in to development
processes or projects. It is also universally accepted that natural resource development
and environmental protection should go hand in hand. This is in- line with the
national policy that the developments of infrastructure as well as other developmental
activities have to follow the principle of development without destruction, and
measures must be adopted to have environmentally sound and sustainable
environment.
In order to avoid or reduce the possible ill effects, it is essential that all the
development projects should be subjected to the requirement of an Environmental
Impact Assessment (EIA). EIA will point out potential environmental impacts of the
proposed project and to recommend appropriate mitigation measures for the possible
adverse impacts. Recommendations are also made for an environmental management
plan.
1.7 EIA METHODOLOGY

The proposed project may have impact on the physical, biological and socio
economic attributes of surrounding environment. In assessing the environmental
impact, collection, co-relation and interpretation of baseline data is of prime
importance.
The objective of EIA is to predict and address potential environmental problems/
concerns at an early stage of project planning and design. EIA/ EMP assists in the
decision making process by identifying the key impacts/ issues as a results of the
proposed activities and formulating mitigation measures, leading to an improvement
in environmental quality.
In order to achieve these objectives, the following procedures have been adopted for
the study:-
 Collection, synthesis, co-relation and analysis of regional and local
environmental status for various environmental attributes (like topography,
geology, ambient air quality, meteorology, water quality, noise level, soil
characteristics and land use, transport, settlement status and socio economic
aspects etc.)
 Identification of environmental impacts

 Evaluation of impacts leading to preparation of environmental management
and monitoring plan.
Scope of Study
The scope of the study is:-
 Compilation of baseline environmental and social scenario of the study
area within a radius of 10 km around the proposed project site based on field
studies covering one season (except monsoon) and secondary data collection;
 Identification, prediction and evaluation of potential environmental
impacts expected during the construction and operation phase of the project;
 Preparation of mitigation measures, Environmental Management Plan (EMP)
and Monitoring Programme for implementation of suggested mitigation measures.
Scoping
The approach followed by ENV DAS India Pvt. Ltd. in conducting the EIA study is
according to the applicable regulatory framework. The main stages followed are
described below:
Stage –I
 Review of design, construction and operational information of the proposed
Project through Project Report/data/site visit/site assessment.
Stage –II
 An initial review of the proposed project site and status of the physical
environment around the project site vicinity;
 Understanding regarding project design, construction and operation as well as
macro environmental aspects. The major issues needed to be addressed with due
care were identified and monitoring plan for the environmental baseline was
prepared;
 Baseline environmental assessment was conducted within the study area of 10
km radius around the proposed project site;
 Baseline monitoring and primary field data collection of environmental
components viz. Micro-Meteorological Condition, Ambient Air Quality, Water
(Surface and Ground water) use and its Quality, Soil Quality, Noise Level, Traffic
Volume etc.;
 Survey study to be carried out in the study area to assess the status of flora &
fauna and socio-economic profile of the study area; and
 Information to be also collected through Primary and Secondary sources like
Department of Census, Local and City Offices, National Institutions (Survey of
India, National Information Centre etc.), District Head Quarters and other
Government Offices etc. as well relevant Published Literatures.
Stage –III
 Compilation of the Environmental Baseline of the Study Area.
Stage –IV
 Assessment of Environmental Impacts by predicting the scale and extent of
changes associated with the project and their subsequent effects on the
environment against the environmental baseline condition, and evaluating the
significance of such impacts against accepted criteria.
Stage –V
 Identification and preparation of measures to mitigate significant impacts
(evaluated from the impact prediction process) by proposing applicable
alternatives and control measures; and
 Finally, development of appropriate Environmental Management and
Monitoring Plan to audit and ensure that the proposed mitigation measures are
in place and effective.
 Effective implementation of proposed EMP.

resultant subjective interpretation. Professional judgments expressed herein are
based on the available data/comments/feedback/modifications and comments
from Functional Area Experts and finally compiled by EIA Coordinator.
1.8 GENERIC STRUCTURE OF ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT

ASSESSMENT REPORT
The EIA for the project began with an adoption of an environmental and social
screening procedure during the feasibility stage. The purpose of the screening was to
identify at the outset, key environmental and social issues such as sensitive receptors,
change of land use, eco systems, impacts on community facilities, impacts on flora
and fauna etc. The important findings of the assessment gave important feedback to
the design team, especially in terms of the sensitive receptor utility /facilities to be
impacted. It helped to modify the designs at locations where impacts had to be
avoided and incorporate mitigation measures wherever the impacts are unavoidable
due to other constraints:

2.5 SPECIFICATION OF SERVICES

During the construction stage, water will be sourced primarily through private water
tankers. It is estimated that water demand during the construction phase may vary from 50 to
100 KLD.
During the project operational stage, water supply will be done through Ground water
supply. The total water requirements of the Project will be 5517KLD. The total fresh water
demand of the project is 3516KLD. 2001 KLD of total water requirement will be met through
treated water from STP which accounts for approx. 36 % of total water requirement. Use of
treated water will reduce load on ground water ad make the project sustainable.
Wastewater
The total wastewater in operation phase will be 4320 KLD. STP of capacity 5000 KLD (5
MLD) based on aerobic treatment technology will be installed on site in 2 modules of 2.5
MLD each to get 2001 KLD tertiary treated recycled water for low end uses including
flushing, HVAC and Horticulture and rest spare secondary treated sewage will be discharged

2.7.6. Source of Water Supply

 Water Supply for the proposed project will be met from ground water along with
recycled water from STP for low-end uses. However the internal water supply system
shall be as per the manual of water supply, CPHEEO.
 The required treated effluent from STP after tertiary treatment shall be used in the
proposed scheme for horticulture and flushing. This will also reduce the dependency on
total water requirement and make the system sustainable. For this purpose dual plumbing
with different colour pipes are proposed.
 The water will be boosted from underground tank to overhead tanks over building roofs
by pumps. Required number of underground tanks shall be provided in the proposed
project.
 The water shall be distributed to the plots through gravity system from the respective
overhead tanks.
 Network of distribution system is planned on the basis of closed loops, so that a specific
pocket gets water from minimum two points. In case one point is under repair, the entire
distribution system will not be affect.
2.7.7. SEWERAGE SYSTEM
Sanitary sewage is mostly the spent water of the community draining into the sewer system
with some ground water and a fraction of storm run-off from the area, draining into it. The
sewers should be capable of receiving the maximum discharge expected at the end of design
period.
Since it is both difficult and uneconomical to augment the capacity of the system at a later
date, sewers are usually designed for the maximum expected discharge to meet the
requirement of the ultimate development of the area. A design period of 30 years for all types
of sewers is usually considered.
Although the entire spent water of a community should contribute to the total flow in a
sanitary sewer, it has been observed that a small portion is lost in evaporation, seepage in
ground, leakage etc. which will depends on workmanship and the height of ground water
table. In some arid areas, the fraction reaching the sewer may be as low as 40%, while for an
intensely developed area, it may be as high as 90 %. However, in this scheme, 90% has been
taken as interception factor.
Sewage Collection & Disposal

The night soil & waste from Toilets & Kitchen will be collected in Gully Traps & Manholes
in single network of S.W. / R.C.C. pipes lay underground having Manholes / Inspection
chambers at appropriate intervals and shall be discharged into Sewerage Treatment Plant.
Proposed Sewerage Treatment Plant

Sewage Treatment Unit
 STP Capacity: 5000 KLD (2 modules of 2.5 MLD each)
 STP Technology: SAFF (Submerged Aerobic Fixed Film Reactor)
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
The STP will include the following unit operations:
 Primary treatment : Bar Screen, Oil & Grease Separator, Equalization Tank
 Secondary treatment : Aeration Tank, Secondary Clarifier

 Tertiary treatment : UV Sterilization Unit, Multi grade Filter, Activated
Carbon Filter, Softener
 Sludge conditioning : Aerobic Digester, Sludge Thickener / Filter Press
Primary Treatment
Raw sewage will flow through an Oil & Grease Separator and then through a bar screen
chamber to an equalization Tank. The bar screen shall be so designed that it can cleaned
manually from outside the tank. Two submersible solid handling pumps shall be provided in
the Equalization Tank to pump the collected Raw Sewage to the Aeration Tank. An
Automatic controller shall be provided in the Equalization Tank to turn the pump off at the
low water level in the tank and to start the pump automatically when water level is high. Air
will be introduced in the Equalization Tank through submerged air diffusers, to prevent the
sewage from becoming septic during long retention or low load conditions.
Secondary Treatment
The Raw Sewage that comes into the Aeration Tank shall be aerated by using Fine Bubble
Diffusers mounted in a grid at the bottom of the tank. Facility will be made to pull up the
diffusers for cleaning if necessary. Air will be supplied to the diffusers by twin lobe rotary air
blowers located in the plant room. The Aeration system shall be designed in a way so as to
achieve complete mixing of the sludge organisms with raw sewage in order to achieve a
MLSS of between 3000-4000 mg/l in the Aeration Tank.
From the Aeration Tank this mixed liquor passes into a clarifier. The liquid in the clarifier
tank is maintained in quiescent condition allowing the solids to settle at the bottom of the
clarifier for collection. The accumulated solids (activated Sludge) shall be constantly pumped
back into the aeration tank by sludge recycle pumps. This return sludge undergoes further
digestion in the aeration tank and also provides the active organism needed to digest the
incoming raw sewage. The clarifier shall be provided with an overflow weir to collect the
treated effluent and a scum baffle shall keep any floating matter from passing out in the final
treated water. Treated water from clarifier shall overflow into Treated Effluent Tank.
Tertiary Treatment
Treated water shall flow through a UV-Sterilization Unit where the UV light will disinfect
the treated water. The treated and disinfected water will be passed through a Multi-grade
Filter, an Activated Carbon Filter and a softener and stored in a Treated Sewage Water Tank
(Fig 2.9). Water from this tank will be used for the cooling towers of the Air Conditioning
system and for horticulture within the site. Municipal discharge shall be zero, however, there
may be occasional discharge into municipal sewer in case of exigency.
Sludge Conditioning
Excess sludge from the bottom of the clarifier shall be wasted into an adjoining aerobic
digester cum thickener tank. In this tank sludge shall be aerated. The air shall be shut off
periodically and supernatant water will be led back into the Equalization Tank. This way the
sludge shall be thickened and its volume shall be reduced. The thickened sludge will be
further solidified using a centrifuge or a filter press and the solid cakes will be used as
manure in horticulture or it will be discharged along with MSW.

2.7.8. WASTE WATER RECYCLING

It is recommended to adopt recycling of treated effluent received from Sewage Treatment
Plant (STP) for the purpose of horticulture; flushing and HVAC uses so as to reduce the total
fresh water requirement, to reduce the dependability on ground water sources.
An estimated 2001 KLD treated effluent from the STP shall be recycled and reused within
the proposed project for the purpose of HVAC, flushing, & horticulture.
Figure 0.8: Schematic Flow Diagram of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) Storm Water
Drainage System
Storm runoff is that proportion of the precipitation, which drains over the ground surface.
Estimation of such run off reaching the storm drains therefore is dependent on intensity and
duration of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary area and the time required for such
flow to reach the drains. The storm water flow for this purpose shall be determined by using
the rational method.
2.7.9. STORM WATER DRAINAGE

Underground Drainage system is proposed for the project. These drains will be having
Chambers/ Manholes at suitable intervals. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall
run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from various plots/pockets
shall be collected by pipe through catch basins.
Planning of Drainage System

The following factors are taken into consideration for planning of the drainage system.
1. The pattern of natural slope of the site, its extent and direction.
2. The natural drainage system in the downstream area (outside the project area).
3. The road network system envisaged and finished levels of the roads.
4. The runoff from Residential unit blocks and other build up area lead into catch basins,
which is connected to branch drains along the access roads. These drains take storm water
into nearest lateral drains and then into trunk drains on main roads, which ultimately takes
the storm water to the natural stream.
5. The rainwater from open spaces and from isolated places, flow over the ground following
the natural slopes and get into nearest drain through the gratings. Depending upon the
width of the road and its surrounding local conditions, the drain is provided as per the road
slopes.
Intensity of Precipitation
The intensity of rainfall decreases with duration. Analysis of the observed data on intensity
duration of rainfall of past records over a period of years in the area is necessary to arrive at a
fair estimate of intensity-duration for given frequencies. The longer the record available, the
more dependable is the forecast. In the present conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in
design is usually in the range of 12 mm/hr to 30 mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for
design of drainage scheme has been taken 30 mm/hr. However, as per last 10 years data a
storm rainfall of 30 mm have been taken.
Computation of Storm Run off

Roof Area 0.8 219734 0.03 5274

Paved Area 0.6 294308 0.03 5298
Green Area 0.2 295070 0.03 1770
Total Runoff m3/hr 12342
Standards (coefficient) taken as per construction manual, MoEF
Roof top Runoff Potential = 12342m3/hr
Taking 15 minutes Retention Time, Total volume of storm water = 12342/ 4 = 3086m3
Taking the effective diameter and depth of a Recharge pit 4 m and 3 m respectively:
Volume of a single Recharge pit (b) = π r2h = 3.14 x2 x 2 x 3 = 37.68 m3
Hence No. of pits required = 3086/ 37.68= 82pits
Note: Only rooftop water will be harvested.
Roof top Runoff Potential = 5274 m3/hr
Taking 15 minutes Retention Time, Total volume of storm water = 5274 / 4 = 1319 m3
Hence No. of pits required = 1319 / 37.68 = 35 pits
Provided: 36 Pits
2.7.10 RAIN WATER HARVESTING SCHEME

The rainwater will be collected through piped drains and conveyed into rainwater harvesting
system. All storm water drains have been designed for adequate size and slope such that there
shall not be any flooding in the site. It shall be ensured that no wastewater shall enter into
storm water drainage system.
Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The rainwater
collected from the rooftop, green & paved areas will be conveyed into the rainwater
harvesting system consisting of Desilting-cum-filter chamber and borewells for recharge into
the groundwater. Rain water from paved and green areas will percolate naturally through
capillary action and augment the water table. RWH will be initially done only from the roof
top. However the rain water pits have been proposed for the whole area. Runoff from green
and other open areas will be done only after permission from CGWB. No demand will be met
from the process.
The desilting tanks are used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater.
Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and
overflow. Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by
the recharge structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface to allow standing water
to percolate into the soil.
The recharge well consists of 250-300 mm dia bore holes in the middle of the pit. 160 mm
dia perforated UPVC pipe will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit will be
filled with gravel/pebbles in three layers of consists of boulders, gravel & coarse sand. The
mouth of the PVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into the same.
A complete hydro geological investigation along with the soil survey was carried out to check
the soil permeability which ranged from 5.9 to 7.6 cm/minute and feasibility. The ground
water in the region lies at a depth of 9-10 meters with average fluctuation of 1-1.5 m pre and
post monsoon.
Analysis of the observed data on intensity duration of rainfall of past records over a period of
years in the area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for given
frequencies. The longer the record available, the more dependable is the forecast. In Indian
conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in design is usually in the range of 25 mm/hr. The
intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 30 mm/hr.
It is proposed to harvest rain water only from roof top. The Location of recharge pit will be
tower wise for the roof top
area.

2.7.11. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Waste quantification is carried out to estimate the amount of waste generated by different
activities in the project site. For estimation of quantity of solid waste generated from the
proposed project, waste generation factors are selected for each activity based on case studies
available for similar type of projects, assumptions and past experience and with reference to
CPHEEO (Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization) Manual on
solid waste management issued by Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India.
Estimation of solid Waste

On the basis of the solid waste being collected in different cities, the per capita rate of solid
waste generation has been adopted as 0.25 kg per day per person for workers and 0.15 kg per
day per person for visitors. Horticulture waste @ 15 kg /acre and e-waste @
0.15kg/capita/year. Thus the anticipated municipal solid waste worked out as below:

while there will be buy-back arrangements with the supplier for DG Set batteries.
Electrical & Electronic Waste

E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2016) Electronic waste, popularly known as ‘e-
waste’ can be defined as waste electrical and electronic equipments whole or in part or reject
(such as CDs, floppies, keyboards, monitors, power plug, batteries, etc.) which have become
obsolete due to:
 Advancement in technology
 Changes in fashion, style and status
 Nearing the end of their useful life.
Responsibility of Consumer or Bulk Consumer
According to E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2016) responsibility of Consumer or
Bulk Consumer is given below:
 Consumer or Bulk Consumer of electrical and electronic equipment shall ensure that
e-waste generated by them is channelized to authorized collection centres or
registered dismantlers or recyclers or is return back to the pick-up or take back
services provided by the producers.
 Bulk consumers shall maintain records of e-waste generated by them in Form-2 and
make records available to UPPCB.
 The mantra of "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" applies here also.
 Reduce generation of e-waste through smart procurement and good maintenance.
 Reuse still functioning electronic equipment by donating or selling it to someone who
can still use it.
Recycle those components that cannot be repaired. To identify organizations who reuse or
recycle electronics.
Biomedical Waste:
Health Care Centre shall have a system for management of all potentially infectious and
hazardous waste in accordance with the Amendment Bio-Medical Waste Management Rules
2016 (BMW, 2016). Hospital waste is generated during the diagnosis, treatment
immunization of human beings or animals. It may include wastes like sharps, soiled waste,
disposables, anatomical waste, cultures, discarded medicines, chemical wastes, etc. These
are in the form of disposable syringes, swabs, bandages, body fluids, human excreta, etc.
This waste is highly infectious and can be a serious threat to human health if not managed in
a scientific manner. It has been roughly estimated that of the 0.15 Tons/ day of waste
generated in hospital during studies and clinical tests, which would be infectious.

there should be no leakage or spillage of bio-medical waste while transporting to designated
storage site. Within the hospital, waste routed must be designated to avoid the passage of
waste through patient care areas as far as possible.
Separate time schedules will be prepared for transportation of Bio-medical waste and general
waste. It will reduce chances of their mix up. Dedicated wheeled containers, trolleys or carts
with proper label (as per Schedule IV of Rule 6) would be used to transport the waste from
the site of storage to the site of treatment.
Trolleys or carts would be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in the event of any spillage.
The wheeled containers would be designed in such a manner that the waste can be easily
loaded, remains secured during transportation, does not have any sharp edges and easy to
cleanse and disinfect.
III. STORAGE OF WASTE

3.3.2. LAND ENVIRONMENT

3.3.2.1. Drainage and physiography
Lucknow city occupies the interfluvial region of Gomti and Sai rivers of the Central Ganga Plain
in Ganga basin. It is almost a flat country with conspicuous natural depression in north-eastern
part around Jankipuram. The general slope of the city area is towards south and south-east. The
elevation of city area varies from 110 to 124 m above mean sea level.
The drainage system of the area is controlled mainly by river Gomti which flows to south-east
and Kukrail Nala is the only prominent tributary which joins on the northern bank of Gomti
River. There are 23 nalas which drain into Gomati between Gaughat and Gomati Barrage. The
drainage exhibits dendritic to sub- dendritic pattern and are highly sinuous in nature. Gomti river
Page 64
originate from the spring line in the Terai belt of Pilibhit district. It flows South-easterly over a
distance of 490 km before joining the Ganga river in Ghazipur district. The catchments area of
the river is 30500 sq km.

3.3.2.2. GEOGRAPHY AND LAND USE
Geography
Land is the most vital resource for sustenance of life and degradations of land due to
industrialization, urbanization and population growth is a matter of concern. Therefore, it is
necessary to establish the existing land use pattern to optimize the land use as well as
minimize degradation due to the developmental activities.
Lucknow is located in Lucknow District, Uttar Pradesh at a distance of about 500 km from
Delhi. It is situated at co-ordinates 27°51′N and 80°55′E. The coordinates of the proposed
project site are Latitude: 26°46'17.66" to 26°46'18.60"N, Longitude: 80°56'41.35" to
80°56'44.97"E.
Land use
The current land use of the Urban Agglomeration excluding that of the Cantonment is shown
in Table 3.5 and Fig 3.5. As per the Lucknow master plan 2021, this is the source of the
Page 65
information, estimates that Lucknow covered an area of 16,270 hectares. There has been a
77.4% increase in the total area Compared to 1987 when the area was estimated at 9170
hectares. Trends in land uses has been interesting, especially the fact that residential use has
grown dramatically in comparison to all other uses, although there has also been notable
growth in commercial, industrial and public service land use. While population densities in
core areas, which include the major part of Cis-Gomti specially the old habitations, are
around 600 persons/hectare or more the densities in peripheral Trans-Gomti area; vary from
400 to 600 persons/hectares.
With the radial growth of the city, the Cantonment has gradually been engulfed and is today
more centrally located. A Ring Road system has been developed to connect the new
development around the Old City and the Cantonment and the Trans-Gomti areas. The
Lucknow Development Authority has planned to develop the intervening open spaces to take
advantage of the Ring Road. New housing colonies are already under construction in the
southeastern and eastern parts of the City. It is interesting to note that the Master Plan 2021
does not take into account the development that is taking place on account of the entry of
private developers. Like most cities, Lucknow is witnessing a real estate boom with a large
number of private developers coming in this additional development will necessarily require
infrastructure that needs to be taken into account when planning investments in the future.

Objectives of the Study

 To map the study area with respect to various land use/land cover change over the past 10
years.
 To identify the sensitive areas within 10 km radius around the project site
 The settlement area near to the project site covers mainly the villages like, Chipyana Roza
Yakubpur), Roza Jalalpur & Haibatpur. The project site and its surroundings are mainly
agricultural field.
Methodology: The landuse/landcover pattern has been established based on the analysis of
the data received from satellite imagery by making landuse/landcover map with the help of
GIS technique. Also the data based on Census of India, 2011 was referred and landuse study
was done within 10 km radius area with limited ground truth verifications. Ground and
ancillary information have been used to identify the sensitive places within 10 km radius of
the project.

Soil
Soils of the City exhibits a wide variation in composition, texture and appearance. The major
position of the city is occupied by soils locally known as "Bhur" or "Silty Sand" on the
ridges. "Matiyar" or "Clay Soils" occurs along topographic lows and "Dumat or Loamy soils"
in the level lands. Clay is dominant in the areas where "Reh" (Usar) prevails. Along the
rivervalleys, a very fertile soil called "Dumat" is prevalent which is youngest.

3.3.2.4. Seismo tectonic set up of the area in and around the project
According to Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) data, the area
under study falls in Zone-III. It is very important to take this fact in consideration
during designing of the structural components of the project in the construction phase.
The depth of the foundation, footing of the structural components, the bending moment
calculations shall adhere to the criteria of seismic load. The seismological map of the
project site is shown in fig. 3.9.

3.3.3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

3.3.3.1. Surface Water Quality
Lucknow was inhabited due to the presence of river Gomti like most of the other cities
which have grown close to a freshwater source. River Gomti is the only natural surface
water source for Lucknow and has been polluted up to larger extents due to
mismanagement of wastewater. Large amounts of wastewater is dumped into the river
every day, sapping it of oxygen and killing fishes and ecosystem and has lead to low
D.O. levels in the river 25 nallahs discharge about 315 MLD sewage directly into the
river, only 42 MLD sewage is treated from the current sewage treatment plant that is,
only 12 percent of the sewage is being treated presently and the rest 88 percent flows
directly to the river without treatment contributing heavily to the pollution load of the
river. Sewages and drains are blocked due to encroachment along the drainage systems
and due to disposal of solid wastes. New areas are inhabited in the trans and cis-Gomti
side without any proper planning of wastewater management. These areas should come
up with their own sewage treatment plants and should dispose the treated water into the
river Gomti with careful observation. Annual variation in Dissolved Oxygen of Gomti
River at the upstream intake and downstream barrage in Lucknow is shown in Fig. 3.4.
Page 71
Fig. 3.8. Variation in DO content (mg/l) measured at Gaughat and Barrage
Based on different secondary data available for Hydrology of study area, it has been
concluded that all the constituents present in the river water samples are within
permissible limit before the river enters the Lucknow city and as it passes through the
city the quality of river water deteriorates due to the mixing of several city drains
specially near Mohan Meakins disposal drains and Haider Canal (Gomti barrage). The
Dissolved Oxygen content decreases from 7.0 mg/l from outskirt to 2.0 near Mohan
Meakins disposal drains and Haider Canal. There are few Dhobi ghats and cloth dyeing
units at the bank of river Gomti, which are also polluting the river water.

3.3.3.2. Ground Water Hydrology and Aquifer Group
Ground water status of Lucknow District:
Area of Lucknow city forms a part of central Ganga plains and is piled up of alluvial
sediments of Quaternary age and can be classified as Newer and Older Alluvium. The
Newer alluvium occurs in the active flood plains of river Gomti at topographic low
areas. The sediments in the Newer Alluvium are generally micaceous grey sands, silt
and clay belonging to Upper Pleistocene to Recent age group. The Older Alluviums
occur at topographic high areas & do not get flooded. The sediments in Older Alluvium
are generally sand of various grades, clays, kankar, and silt. Alternate beds of sand and
clay occur with intermixing of kankar bed. These sediments belong to upper to middle
Pleistocene age. Ground water occurs in the pore spaces of unconsolidated alluvial
sediments in the zone of saturation under phreatic and semi-confined conditions. In
deeper aquifers it occurs under semi-confined to confined conditions.
Fig. 3.9: Hydrogeological Map of Lucknow City
Page 73
Potential Aquifers
A total number of 31 exploratory wells, 5 Piezometres have been constructed by

CGWB to know the aquifers geometry of the district. Total five tier aquifer system exist
in the Lucknow City which is as follows. The aquifer material in these groups is sands
of various grades, clays, kankar and silts.
The occurrence of ground water is quite encouraging in northern and north eastern part
of the city in Janakipuram, along Kursi Road and Chinhat. Moderate yield potential lies
in the North West and western part of the city. To augment the demand of the future
mega city, all ground water abstractions shall be done from Trans–Gomti area in the
north and north east and beyond Sarojani Nagar. Further flood plains of Gomati river
can be exploited by constructing shallow tubewells, radial wells, collector wells, rainy
wells. These structures may be taken up in the upstream of Gaughat.
Ground Water: Ground water is a natural occurrence. Ground water supply is met
through deep, shallow tubewells, Indiamark II Handpumps & Indira wells through Jal
Sansthan as follows:
 Supply through more than 350 tubewells - 185 MLD

 Supply through 5000 India Mark II Handpumps - 25 MLD
 Supply through 55 Indira wells - 28 MLD.
Total Ground water supply - 238 MLD.
Thus the total supply for entire Lucknow city at present is 480 MLD out of which
surface contributes 242 MLD and Ground water contributes 238 MLD.

3.3.6. BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

The ecological survey based on secondary data available of the area (with in project
area and 10 Km radius around the project site), to assess the potential ecological
impacts of the proposed project upon ecology, to develop adequate and feasible
mitigation measures (via inputs to project design and layout, working practices) to keep
residual ecological impacts with acceptable limits, and also to develop ecological
monitoring parameters. This section of report presents ecological baseline of the area
and study was carried out in two separate headings for floral and faunal community
respectively.
Page 76
3.3.6.1. Habitat Assessment

The information on prevailing baseline in proposed project site is important because
project activities might lead to loss of the ecological resources, if existing. The
information will further enable to evaluate the feasibility and efficacy of the mitigation
options that are being proposed by environmentalist and conservationist to incorporate
conservation concerns in mitigating the impacts of developmental project.
The study area was divided into two zones as given below:
i) Core Zone Within the project area

ii) Study Area 10 Km radius around the project area
3.3.6.2. Floral Community

i) Core Zone:
There was little vegetation within the core zone. Only a few species of grasses were
seen. There is no presence of reserved or any forest in the proposed site.
ii) Study Area in 10 km radius around the project site:
The vegetative community of the area is mainly under open scrub forest and because of
urbanization area is usually surrounded with planted varieties. The dominant species are
Babool (Acacia nilotica), Vilayati Babool (Acacia sp.), Neem (Azadirachta indica),
Gulmohar (Cassia sp.), Safeda (Eucalyptus), amaltas (Cassia fistula), Dhatura (Datura
sp.), Arandi (Ricinus communis), Ber (Zyziphus sp.), Bougainvellia, Peepal (Ficus
religiosa), Shisham(Dalbergia sissoo) etc. The prominent grass species is Cynodon
dactylon.
The tree species recorded in this planted forest are Date Palm, Bush Palm, Bottle Brush,
teak (Tectona grandis), Arjun (Terminalia arjuna), Siris (Albizzia lebbek), Gulhar
(Ficus glomerata), acacia catachu, Delonix regia, Butea monosperma, Azadirachta
indica, Ficus religios, Zizyphus Mauritian, Morus alba, Albizia procera, Bombax ceiba,
Shorea robusta, etc. This forest acts as habitat for wild mammals and regional avifauna.
Biodiversity rich area like Gomti river lies at a distance of about 8.0 km (aerial
distance). NBFGR – 5.2 km (NW), Sugarcane Research Institute Centre is 6.5 km
(NW), SGPGI – 2.5 km (SW).

Endangered and Threatened Species

Endangered and threatened animals of India have been listed in the Schedule I and
Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 (amended in 2001). No threatened,
rare, endangered, or endemic species were observed during the survey in core zone. In
Study Area following species were observed.
Schedule I: Birds: Peafowl (Pavo cristatus)
Schedule II: Reptiles: Indian cobra (Naja naja),

3.3.6.3. Faunal Community

A general faunal study was carried out for the core zone and Study Area separately as
given below.
i. Core Zone:
There was no unique faunal community within the core zone of the project area, except
most of the faunal species are domesticated like toad, frog, sparrow and rats etc.
Page 78
ii.Study Area:
 In 10 km radius around the project area:
Reptiles:
Govt. record and villagers mention the presence Agama (Agama tuberculata), lizard
(Calotesvariscolor), skink (Scincillasp.) and Hemidactylus flavioirdis in field and in
close proximity of site. Among snakes Dhaman (Ptyas mucosa) are commonly noticed
in field by farmers. Other snakes like Cobra (Naja naja), Banded Krait (Bungarus
multicinctus), Russel viper (Vipera ruselii), are occasionally encountered by the
farmers. Due to agricultural setup and large clearance of bushes, their habitat has been
restricted to smaller area. The decline in snake population was noticed in the area due to
inter and intra species competition for space, feed and increase in encounter by human
beings.
Mammals
Mammalian species reported in this forest area, based on Forest Action Plan are
Monkey (Macaca mulata), Langoor (Presbytis entellus), Mongoose (Herpestes
auropunctatus), Canis aureus, Vuples bengalensis, Hyaena hyaena, Boselaphus
traqocamelus, Axis axis, Funambulus pennanti, Rattus rattus, Mus booduga and
Scotoplhilus heathi. Majority of the species recorded show diurnal behavioral
responses. Only few show nocturnal behavior like Scotoplhilus heathi and Hyaena
hyaena. There is decline in the mammalian species due to reduction of forest area.
Aves
The buffer zone has moderate type of avifauna distribution. Birds like rock pigeon,
myna, babbler, ring dove, sparrow was noticed. Within 15 km radius witnesses rich
avifaunal distribution. This is mainly due to presence of forest, thick growth of bushes
and riparian habitat along the rivers. Due to abundant growth of trees and availability of
feeds, higher frequency and counts of birds are recorded with moderate type of avifauna
biodiversity. Pariah kite, Jungle babbler, red-wattled lapwing, ring dove, large Indian
parakeet, white breasted king fisher, Indian roller, common myna, black drango, pond
heron, cattle egrets, hornbill, flock of sparrow are found etc.

Endangered and Threatened Species

Endangered and threatened animals of India have been listed in the Schedule I and
Schedule II of the Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 (amended in 2001). No threatened,
rare, endangered, or endemic species were observed during the survey in core zone.
Protected Areas
There are no Wildlife Sanctuary, National Park and/ or Biosphere Reserve within 10 km
of the study area. However, Kukrail Reserve Forest lies within 15 km (N) boundary of
the project site.
Socio-Economic Scenario
This section discusses the baseline scenario of the socio-economic environment in the
study area and the anticipated impacts of the Proposed Project on the socio-economic
environment. The issues under focus in this chapter are demographic structure,
economic activities, and education literacy rate and infrastructure resources.
Page 81
3.3.6.4. Demographic composition of the study area:

Highlights of 2011 Census
1. Total population is 4,588,455 compared to 3,647,834 of 2001.

2. Male and female were 2,407,897 and 2,180,558 respectively.
3. Population Growth for Lucknow District recorded in 2011 for the decade has
remained 25.79 percent. Same figure for 1991-2001 decade was 32.03 percent.
4. Total Area of Lucknow District was 2,528 with average density of 1,815 per sq.
km.
5. Lucknow Population constituted 2.30 percent of total Uttar Pradesh Population.
6. Sex Ratio of Lucknow District is now 906, while child sex ratio (0-6) is 915 per
1000 boys.
7. Children below 0-6 age were 521,815 which forms 11.37 of total Lucknow
District population.
8. Average Literacy rate for Lucknow District is 79.33 percent, a change of from
past figure of 68.71 percent. In India, literacy rate is counted only for those
above 7 years of age. Child between 0-6 ages are exempted from this.
9. Total literates in the Lucknow District increased to 3,226,214.
10. All the data regarding Lucknow District Population were released by Directorate
of Census Operations in Uttar Pradesh.
Lucknow Urban Agglomeration (LUA) became a million-plus city in 1981. Besides the
areas under jurisdiction of the Lucknow Municipal Corporation, the agglomeration also
includes the Lucknow Cantonment. Census 2001 estimated the population of the
Lucknow Urban Agglomeration at 22.46 lakhs. This included an estimate of about
60,000 as population of the Lucknow Cantonment and 21.85 lakh population of
Lucknow City. The population of the Lucknow Cantonment has remained constant in
the last three decades.
Demographic data for the Lucknow Urban Agglomeration and Lucknow City from
Census 2001 and other available documents was analysed to understand the growth
patterns. The Master Plan 2021 is the basis of information for the projected population
and land use in peripheral areas where considerable private development has been
taking place. Growth rates have been arrived at through projecting geometric growth,
arithmetic growth and incremental growth rate methods and adding an additional
Page 82
population of 100,000 every five years for additional areas that might get incorporated
within the city. This seems a conservative estimate however, given the current pace of
real estate development and the intention of government to attract new investment in
Lucknow.
Figure 0.10: Decadal Population Growth of Urban Agglomeration Lucknow

Official records show that Lucknow’s population grew more than that of other cities in
the 1980s – mainly due to the extension of the jurisdiction of the Lucknow Municipal
Corporation – from 14,594 hectares in 1981 to 33,750 hectares in 1991. In the 1990s,
average growth was comparable to that of cities of similar size, more than Kanpur and
Nagpur, but lower than Jaipur and Surat. The expansion in the 1980s meant the
population density decreased from 69 persons per hectare to 49 persons per hectare, but
has now increased to 67 persons per hectare due to population growth. The population
growth projected varies between 3.51 to 4.37 per cent per year over different 5-year
periods until 2021, somewhat higher than for the average growth rate of cities of similar
size in the country and the state.
Page 83
Table 3.11 Land Transformation in Lucknow since last 25 year
Growth Components
Migration into Lucknow accounts for 36% increase in population over the last decade. Of the
5.76- lakh people added to the LUA during 1991-2001, about 2 lakh were migrants. In
comparison, the natural growth was 3.68 lakh.
Lucknow’s position as a city bordered by smaller towns like Hardoi and Sitapur in the
northwest; Bara Banki in the northeast, Rae Bareli in the south-east and Unnao in the south
west attracts migrants in search of better employment opportunities and higher order services
like education and health. According to the census, 22% of the migrants from rural areas and
27% from urban areas cited ‘employment’ as the reason for migration. The other reasons for
migration include business reasons, education opportunities, marriage etc.
Gender Ratio
In the Lucknow Municipal Corporation, there has been a steady increase in the number of
women per 1000 men – from 829 in 1971 to 849 in 1981, 862 in 1991 to 893 in 2001. While
this rise is attributable partly to natural growth, discussions with the LDA identify the cause as
being the ‘security’ that the city offers and the good education facilities – factors that have
meant that a lot of women and children are staying in Lucknow even when the male members
of the family are working elsewhere. An additional factor could be that entire rural families are
migrating in search of employment instead of the general practice of only men migrating.
Literacy
Despite comparative economic prosperity and better infrastructure and education facilities,
literacy levels in the City vary from those in other cities of similar size. The literacy rate in the
Lucknow Municipal Corporation area recorded in 2001 was 67.46%. However, within the state
the City has a relatively high level of literacy – as could be expected in line with general trends
about differences between urban and rural areas. There were apparent increases both in the
Municipal Corporation area as well as in the Urban Agglomeration. Female literacy levels
Page 84
though lower compared to total literacy levels have also shown an increasing trend in the last
three decades.
Table 3.12: Literacy in Lucknow Municipal Corporation, Urban Agglomeration and the
State
Industries
The major industries in the Lucknow Urban Agglomeration include Tata Motors, aeronautics,
machine tools, distillery chemicals, furniture and chikan embroidery. Lucknow has traditionally
been associated with chikan embroidery work on readymade garments, sarees, etc. with most
units being small scale and household based and located in the old city area.
Lucknow, being a tehsil headquarter, a divisional headquarter and the state capital, is a
prominent administrative and commercial centre of the state. The proportion of working
population of Lucknow has remained more or less constant since 1981, at around 28%.
Table 3.13: Working and Non-working Population of Lucknow Urban Agglomeration
Employment and Income

Lucknow is the administrative capital of the largest state in India, with a rich cultural heritage
and history. The key characteristics that determine its economic base include – the position of
the City as an administrative centre, a centre for education and tourism. In recent years there has
been a noticeable rise in retail trade and health services. The real estate market is undergoing a
growth and the Master Plan 2021 anticipates a slight growth in the services sector over the next
15 years.
Page 85
The employed (or ‘working’) population in the Urban Agglomeration was 27.5 percent in 2001,
and the Master Plan 2021 envisages that it will increase to 30.0 percent in 2021. The tertiary
sector has seen a rise in terms of share of workforce – it accounted for about 80 per cent of the
work force in 2001 compared to 77 percent in 1981. In the same period, there was a decline in
the percentage of primary workers due to the amalgamation of peripheral areas with their
agricultural orientation within the city in the 1980s. The Master Plan envisages that while the
proportion of tertiary workers in the UA will not change significantly in 2011 and 2021, there
will be a decrease in the proportion of primary workers and a relative rise in secondary workers.
Table3.11 Working Population by Major Occupational Categories
Of the 598579 total number of workers in Lucknow Municipal Corporation, in 2001, main
workers comprised 89.82 per cent and marginal workers including those seeking employment
was 10.18 percent. The distribution of main workers by education categories, (Table 2.6),
shows that 79 percent of the workforce in the City is literate. However, the proportion of
workers with technical degrees/diplomas including postgraduate was quite small at about 4%.
Settlements
Page 86
There are densely populated areas of Unnao, Sitapur, Kanpur nearby suburban towns and
village Shahpur , Sarai sheikh and Semra close to the proposed site.
Markets
There are permanent markets nearby.
Basic Infrastructure Facilities in Villages

All the villages lying in the study area are well connected by pitched roads. All the villages
have at least a primary school, a primary health centre, post office and branches of nationalized
bank. All the villages are connected by telephone and electricity grid.
Infrastructural Facility in the study area

The Study Area is well equipped with education, medical facility, drinking water,
communication, approach roads and irrigation. Lucknow is the state capital having well-
developed infrastructural facilities.
Education
The Principal educational institutions in the City include the University of Lucknow, King
George Medical College, Indian Institute of Management, Birbal Sahni Institute of Palaeo-
Botany, the Board of Technical Education, Institute of Engineering and Technology, Institute of
Judicial Training and Research, Sanjay Gandhi Post Graduate Institute of Medical Sciences
(SGPGIMS), the Bathkhande University of Indian Music, the Central Veterinary Research
Laboratory and the Building and Road Research Station and Indian Institute of Sugarcane
Research.
Lucknow is also a major centre for research and development (R&D) and an education centre
Prominent R&D centres located in the city, include the National Milk Grid of the National
Dairy Development Board, Central Drug Research Institute (CDRI), Central Institute of
Medical and Aromatic Plants (CIMAP), Industrial Toxicology Research Centre (ITRC),
National Botanical Research Centre Institute (NBRI), National Handloom Development
Corporation (NHDC) Ltd., Pradeshik Cooperative Dairy Federation Ltd (PCDF), Research
Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO), and U P Export Corporation.
Public Health
Available medical facilities in the Study Area are hospitals, dispensaries, health centers, public
health Sub centers; maternity homes etc. within a range of 5-10 kms, most of the villages in the
Study Area have medical facility available in one or the other.
Page 87
Irrigation
The District is not drought prone. There are a large number of wells and a network of
canals for irrigation. Even though the farmers have these facilities, yet they are largely
dependent on the monsoons for a successful crop.
Cropping Pattern
Agro climatically, it is classified as rich Sugarcane-Rice-Wheat zone. Major crop
sequences followed in various crop zones are:
Maize - Wheat
Paddy - Toor/camphor
Paddy - Fallow/sugar
Sugar/Fallow - wheat
Jowar - Lathyrus and Moong
The land is cultivated just for sustenance of life, the net result being the products of
poor market value. Minimum low yield harvests are obtained, which can only provide
sustenance with. In general, illiteracy, along with erratic monsoon, is the major factors
to such survival -oriented cropping pattern.
Paddy and maize/jowar is the major crop of the area during Kharif season, while Wheat,
Gram, Barely, Camphor and Arhar crops follow in Rabi season or the fields are kept
fallow for next season. During Rabi season a mixed cropping pattern is followed.
Source of irrigation in area is mainly ground water and canals.
Most of the male population is engaged in unskilled jobs, labourers, office work and
shopkeepers in rural areas. There is unemployment problem in the area as 60% of
population is literate and they need employment.
Resettlement Issues
There is no impacted properties, household, persons, families, commercial and
residential structures etc in the project site. The project will be beneficial for the local
communities, as it will generate employment by way of construction, tourism and
reduction in pollution with better communication. The project will benefit all the
population groups and consequently not differentially or adversely affect any groups.
Page 88
3.4. BASELINE ENVIRONMENT & SOCIAL SETTINGS OF STUDY

AREA (PRIMARY ANANLYSIS)
The aforesaid meteorological parameters have been monitored over a period of 3
months starting from 15March – 15 June 2016.
3.4.1.1. Topography and terrain

Soils of the city exhibit a wide variation in composition, texture and appearance. The
major position of the city is occupied by soils locally known as "Bhur" or "Silty Sand"
on the ridges. "Matiyar" or "Clay Soils" occurs along topographic lows and "Dumat or
Loamy soils" in the level lands. Clay is dominant in the areas where "Reh" (Usar)
prevails. Along the river valleys, a very fertile soil called "Dumat" is prevalent which is
youngest.
Site is plain with some undulation at places with river ravines, small nalas which
occurred due to illegal mining of earth material by local contractors and villagers for
marketing purposes. It was learnt that every family in village Malesemau has the JCB
for this purpose. Scattered trees were seen in the area (list of trees enclosed as
Annexure). Mostly, the area is either barren or at places some agricultural activities
were seen. There is no source of irrigation except tubewells.
Flood Prone Area

In 1960 Lucknow recorded its highest level at 110.575 m with large parts of the city
being inundated. To protect the habitations earthen embankments were constructed all
along the bank of the river as well as on Kukrail after 1971 floods to a top level of
114.4 m. During floods of 1960 and 1971, the back-flow of water through the drains
and cuts flooded the large parts of the city. The sluice gates on the embankments were
installed for discharge of drains during normal weather and stopping back flow during
floods. Usually when river water level rises to the drain invert levels, these gates are
closed so that no back flow occurs. In case of heavy rain and floods, the pumping
stations pump storm water across the embankment into the river so as to prevent water
logging in the city. The embankment and the flood pumping station are almost 25 - 30
years old and in this period one recent flooding occurred in 2008.
Irrigation Department and Lucknow Development Authority (LDA) are constructing an
afflux bundh on the right side of River Gomti from existing bundh downstream of
Shaheed Path to Gomti Aquiduct. Total length is 7.4 km and the top width of bund has
Page 89
been kept 24 m and inner slope i.e. water front is 2.5:1 and country side slope is 3:1. A
launching apron of size 10m x 1.2m with boulder pitching of 0.3m thickness over geo-
fabric has been proposed on the water face of the bund.The highest flood level is
110.575 m for 1 in 100 years flood and free board of 1.8 m above highest flood level
has been kept. The bund has been designed for a flood of 1 in 100 years as per IS:12094
and Ganga Flood Control Commission recommendation approved by State Flood
Committee.
Earthquake Prone Area
According to Global Seismic Hazard Assessment Program (GSHAP) data, the area
under study falls in Zone-III. It is very important to take this fact in consideration
during designing of the structural components of the project in the construction phase.
The depth of the foundation, footing of the structural components, the bending moment
calculations shall adhere to the criteria of seismic load.
3.4.1.2. PHYSIOGRAPHY
The physiography of the project site is plain with some undulations at places are
observed. The land use pattern of the proposed site is predominantly agricultural.
3.4.1.3. SOIL QUALITY

As a part of the EIA study, soil samples have been collected from five locations. The
soils have been collected from the compound. The location of sampling stations is given
in Figure 3.19 and shown below in Table 3.16. The soil quality results are given in

The soil is in neutral range. The concentration of various parameters indicates moderate
productivity levels.
Observations
Physical characteristics of soil were characterized through specific parameters viz bulk
density, porosity, water holding capacity, pH, electrical conductivity and texture. Soil
pH plays an important role in the availability of nutrients. Soil microbial activity
as well as solubility of metal ions is also dependent on pH. In the study area, variations
in the pH of the soil were found to be 7.46 to 7.86. Electrical conductivity (EC) is a
measure of the soluble salts and ionic activity in the soil. In the collected soil
samples the conductivity ranged from 539 to 782 µmhos/cm.

As a part of the EIA study, ground water samples from two locations were collected in
the month of Jan to Mar 2013. The samples at site has been monitored from Sept-Nov
2014. The location of Ground water sampling stations and Surface water is given in
Figure 3.15 and results shown below in Table 3.16 and Table 3.17. The analysis was
done as per APHA and IS-3025 procedures. Ground water is the major source of water
in the study area.

3.4.2.1. Ground water study

Ground water conditions in the area are good and ground water is available at shallow
depths. Excessive withdrawal of ground water for different uses, induced seepage from
canals, low permeability of soils and lack of well-defined drainage has resulted in
shallowing of water table. The unconfined aquifers in the study area occur near the
surface. The ground water resources are also exploited for domestic and irrigation
purposes through a number of open dug wells, hand pumps and tube-wells seen in the
study area.
The data has been collected from various secondary sources in the study area. The
hydro geological studies revealed that the district comprises of aquifers with primary
inter granular porosity and fractures with a yield of less than 40 litres /second. The
proposed project site falls in aquifers with primary inter granular porosity. The
proposed site lies in an area with a water table contour of 70 m above msl. The depth of
dug wells/hand pump is 20-40 m in the district.

Observation on Ground water

From the above, it can be concluded that all the parameters of ground water quality are
within BIS 10500 norms. The pH in various ground water samples ranged from 7.61 to
7.86. The TDS in various ground water samples ranged from 860 to 990mg/l. The TDS
levels are within the permissible limit of 2000 mg/l in all the samples. The
concentration of various heavy metals e.g. lead, nickel, zinc, chromium, cadmium was
observed to be below detectable limit. The concentration level of various heavy metals
and toxic compounds indicates the absence of chemical pollution sources in the area.
The concentration of iron is much less than the permissible limit of 1 mg/l in
groundwater samples collected from various locations. The concentration of nitrates
and chlorides was well below the permissible limit. The coliform was absent in tube
wells as well as hand pump.

Observations
The analysis indicates that the Gomti river water is polluted and cannot be used for
drinking, bathing, swimming, fisheries etc. The project proponents are advised to erect
public notices at suitable places prohibiting the use of this water.
Ambient air quality is the most important parameter that is required to quantify the
impact on the natural and biophysical environment. The ambient air quality status of the
study area is mainly dependent on the topographical features, background levels,
concentration of specific air pollutants and local meteorological conditions. In addition
it varies with respect to proximity and magnitude of traffic density, IT offices,
commercial and residential activities and industrial zones, which are likely sources of
atmospheric emission.
3.4.3.1. National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS)

The permissible air quality standards for particulate and gaseous pollutants as laid down
by the CPCB are presented in Table-3.22, while no standards have been promulgated
for HC yet.

3.4.3.2. Ambient Air Quality In the study Area

Respirable Dust Samplers (RDS) in conjunction with Mylar bags/bladders were used to
collect samples of ambient air at 5 locations, based on topography and wind pattern and
feasibility of installation of monitoring locations. Consultants concluded that the 5
representative stations would cover the entire study area. These locations are as per
table 3.19:
Table – 3.22: Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations
1 L-1 Village- Baghamau O Km
Page 101
Figure 3.14Ambient Air Quality Monitoring stations(wind blowing towards SE)
These areas are marked on Figure 3.21, In addition to ambient air quality monitoring
the National Ambient Air Quality data published by Central Pollution Control Board for
the locations close to the project has also been reviewed. The selection of the receptors
was based on the following considerations:
 Covering entire study area.
 Covering land use characteristics and socio-economic conditions observed.
Composite samples were prepared using three 8-hr samples collected at each location.
Monitoring was done with a frequency of twice a week at each location. The
monitoring duration was one month. The samples were analyzed for pollutants of
interest (CO, NO2, SO2, PM10 and PM2.5) using the appropriate method prescribed by
Bureau of Indian Standards and Central Pollution Control Board. Air quality sampling
locations and results obtained at each location are given in the table below. The ambient
air quality monitoring was done for 3-month duration during Mar to May 2016.
The parameters monitored were:
 PM10
 PM2.5
Page 102
 Sulphur dioxide (SO2)

 Nitrogen dioxide (NO2)
 Carbon Monoxide (CO)
 Lead (Pb)
For gaseous samples, 8 hourly samples were collected, while 24hourly sampling was
conducted for PM10 and PM2.5.The detailed methodology for baseline data collection
and sampling procedure is given in Annexure –XII.

Observation of the results

The monitored values are higher than the range of UPPCB reported values. As the
ambient air quality locations of UPPCB are well inside the town and ambient air quality
measured by the consultants is close to the project site and outside in relatively open
area. As a result, the PM10 levels as monitored by the consultants are higher than those
monitored by UPPCB. Whereas SO2 values monitored at site are more than the UPPCB
reported values (Table 3.7) because of the ongoing construction activities and vehicular
movements near the site due to its proximity to National Highways.
Observations on ambient PM10 levels

The maximum PM10 level at site L1 Baghamau was observed 188.6 µg/m3 was
observed at project site. The PM10 level at various monitoring stations ranged from
Page 104
148.3 to 188.6µg/m3. The PM10 values at monitoring stations were found to be

exceeded the permissible limit of 100 µg/m3 specified for rural and residential areas
which may be due to ongoing nearby major construction being done,including the
construction of International Cricket Stadium.
Observations on ambient PM2.5levels

The maximum PM2.5level of 112.5 µg/m3 was observed at Project Site. The PM2.5 level
at various monitoring stations ranged from 81.3 to 112.5 µg/m3. The PM2.5 values at the
monitoring stations were found to be exceeded the permissible limit of 60 µg/m3
specified for rural and residential areas which may be due to ongoing nearby major
construction being done,including the construction of International Cricket Stadium.
Observations on ambient SO2 levels
The SO2 levels as observed at various stations in the study area ranged from 7.15 to
15.3µg/m3. The values of SO2 monitored during the field survey were found to be
within the permissible limit of 80 g/m3 specified for rural and residential areas given
in NAAQS.
Observations on ambient NO2 levels
The NO2 levels as observed at various stations in the study area ranged from 22.9 to
36.1µg/m3. The NO2 levels monitored during the field survey were found to be within
the permissible limit of 80 g/m3 specified for rural and residential areas given in
NAAQS.
Observation on ambient CO levels
The value of CO is <1.15 at all the monitoring locations which is well within the
permissible limits as specified for rural and residential areas (refer Table- 3.18).

Noise attributed to roads depends on factors such as traffic intensity, the type and
condition of the vehicles plying on the road, acceleration/deceleration/gear changes by
the vehicles depending on the level of congestion and smoothness of road surface (IRC:
104-1988). High noise levels are a concern for sensitive receptors, i.e., hospitals,
educational institutions, etc.
The Central Pollution Control Board has specified ambient noise levels for different
land uses for day and night times. Importance was given to the timing of exposure and
Page 105
areas designated as sensitive. Table 3.21 give the noise standards specified by the
Central Pollution Control Board.

The noise monitoring was conducted at 5 locations within the study area. Normally, for
selection of noise monitoring stations, sensitivity of sites is also considered. As per the
CPCB standards, sensitive locations are covered under Silence Zone, which includes an
area up to 100 m around premises as hospitals, educational institutions and courts.
The “A weighted” sound level was continuously measured using Noise meter at 5
minutes interval for one day in each survey locations as per the CPCB procedures. The
parameters monitored are given as below:
 Max Noise Level (L max)
 Min noise level (Lmin)
 Maximum hourly Leq
 Minimum hourly Leq
 Leq value 15 hourly (6 am-9pm) at 5 minutes interval
 Leq value 9 hourly (9 p.m. – 6 am) at 5 minutes interval

The daytime equivalent noise level ranged from 52.2 to 62.2 dB (A). Likewise, night-
time equivalent noise level ranged from 38.8 to 51.6 dB (A) at various sampling
stations. The day time equivalent noise level was higher than the permissible limit of 55
dB (A) specified for residential area, on all sampling stations and the night time
equivalent noise levels too at these stations was higher than the permissible limit of 45
dB (A) specified for Residential area. Noise is an area of concern and the high noise
levels may be attributed to vehicular movement and congestion on the roads as well as
may be due to ongoing massive construction of other townships and movement of
traffic nearby and that also includes the construction of International Cricket Stadium.
Conclusion
Lucknow, being a hub of development activities in the region is witnessing a rapid rise in
population on account of natural growth and immigration. The main occupation and hence the
major sources of income for the people in the area are service and business. The status of urban
amenities in the city and around has not kept pace and at present is not very satisfactory.
Page 108
In order to provide adequate amenities to existing population and adequate infrastructure to

attract further investment to boost development and growth of the area, the area needs setting
up of good residential, health care, educational, entertainment and commercial facilities. Also
keeping in view the increasing population of the city, adequate, modern and well-planned
Residential accommodation, which conforms to the City Master Plan, needs to be provided to
the residents. It may be concluded that the proposed project shall contribute to the above.

The potential receptors of environmental and social impacts due to project development
are mostly the ambient air quality, ambient noise level, soil, water and solid waste
management mechanism. This chapter will discuss the potential impacts on the
physical, natural and socio-economic impacts triggered by the project activities. The
extent of impacts depends primarily on the environmental management practices that
would be adopted during the facility operation. The various environmental and social
parameters have been investigated to identify the impacts that are likely to occur during
the development, construction and operation periods of this project.
Proposed township project will be further modified and constructed gradually in the
time span of 2 to 3 years. In development phase, basic infrastructure facilities like
internal roads, rainwater harvesting, storm water drainage, street lighting etc. will be
developed.
For proper evaluation and assessment of the environmental impacts due to development
and construction and functional phase of proposed project, understanding to the various
activities associated with the proposed project is essential. Various activities related to
the project would be different, in terms of nature during the development, construction
and functional phase.
The impact identification and prediction process aims to:
 Identify potential source or cause of impact throughout the life of project.
 Characterize the potential impacts affecting a target or receptor (physical, human and
socio-economic).
 Assess the potential of changing the likely-hood of impact through Environmental
Management Plan (EMP). This is modified with the progress of work since last EC.
Prediction of the impacts due to the development, construction and functional activities
encompass the development process to be undertaken during construction and
functional phases. For each category of environmental receptor (such as, ambient air
Page 110
quality, water quality, soils, land, etc) the potential impacts of activities during
development, construction and functional phases and magnitude of the impacts have
been assessed and discussed in detail in following sub sections. In each case,
cognizance has been taken to mitigation measures inherited in the development,
construction and functional phase. The baseline status of the environment at the
proposed site and the surrounding study area has been quantified and presented in
chapter-3.
4.1 POLLUTION SOURCES AND CHARACTERSTICS

Pollutants generated in the development of proposed project during both construction and
operational phases are solid, liquid and gaseous in nature. Also the generation of pollution
could be continuous, periodic or accidental. Sources of pollutants and their characteristics
during the construction and functional phase are given in Table 4.1.

4.4 ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

4.4.1.1 Land Use Pattern & Topography
 Proposed project will be located on an area of 211.833 Acres, which has been categorized
for Residential Zone as per the master plan of Lucknow Development Authority. Land use
of the proposed project is entirely conforming to the Master Plan- 2021 of Lucknow
approved by the LDA. Therefore, Land use pattern of the area will not be affected by the
proposed project.
 Leveling and demolition may impact natural topography of the region. Levelling impact
would be negligible, as site is already levelled and there would be no demolition as no
structure is existing on site
Mitigation measures
 Baseline study on topography shows that the topography of the area is flat with general
elevation of 112-113 m above msl. Thus levelling impact would be negligible, as site is
already levelled.. During the development, construction and post construction phase of the
proposed project, no significant impact is anticipated on local or regional topography and
physiography, hence exhaustive management plan is not required. It is however proposed to
carry out extensive turfing with local species apart from proposed plantations and greens.
 There is no existing flora and fauna reported within the site. It is proposed to remove
vegetative cover only from the specific site on which construction is to take place and
allowing minimal disturbance to the vegetation in adjacent areas. Land clearing activities
will only be confined to necessary areas.
4.4.1.2. Impact On Soil With Respect To Land Environment

It is anticipated that approx 7, 00,000 m3 of soil would be excavated during construction phase.
The soil excavated during construction will be first temporarily stored in an area earmarked and
then shall be used to fill up low lying area in and around the project site.
Page 115
 Site clearing could have negligible impact on resource consumption. Clearing of

vegetation on the site may cause erosion, loosening of soil.
 Removal of Top soil: Earthwork comprising of excavation, grading etc. Foundation
work, laying of pipelines may involve removal of top soil.
 Soil contamination: Indiscriminate disposal of construction debris and other waste.
 Waste oil from onsite vehicular movement and construction equipments, DG set
operations etc.
Mitigation measures
 The top soil will be stripped from construction areas and stockpiled for later reuse in
landscaping.
 The soil excavated during construction will be first temporarily stored in an area
earmarked and then shall be used to fill up low lying area in and around the project site
and rest of the soil shall be transported by road to fill up low lying areas elsewhere. Proper
drainage system shall be provided to deal with the storm water in case of rain. The impact
on soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in the nature.
 All vehicles entering and leaving the premises will be checked for valid ‘pollution
under control’ or PUC certificates from the local RTO. The number, frequency and area of
movement of heavy machinery will also be restricted. This will help in minimizing air
emissions from these vehicles during movement. All the construction equipment used
should be of good quality.
 During the development and construction phase, some amount of debris, cuttings of
construction materials may be observed at construction site. However, the quantity of these
waste materials would be very small and limited up to the construction site only.
Contamination of these wastes would be minor and would be collected time to time during
construction phase and it will be reused in different application and non usable items will
be disposed accordingly. The impact on soil during construction phase will be marginal
and reversible in nature.
 Solid waste generated from laborer camps during construction phase shall mainly
comprise household domestic waste, which shall be collected on daily basis and disposed
to the nearest municipal primary collection points.
 Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints, solvents, wood
preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated during
construction phase shall be stored-in sealed containers, labelled, and disposed of as
required by the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules,
2016.
Page 116
Crops and Cropping Pattern

The proposed project will be located on the vacant plot of land, which is earmarked for
residential purpose by Lucknow Development Authority as per Master Plan 2021. At present
there is no crop on the land. Hence, no agriculture land is going to be affected by the proposed
scheme.

Impact identification & evaluation
The primary concerns relating to surface water quality associated with the proposed project
activity is impact on existing quality of surface water resources and exploitation of water
for construction activities and flooding as the proposed project falls on the left bank of Gomti
river at a distance of 200 m. Water logging is not an issue of concern in the area.
Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site. The
impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from excavated
site only causing increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water from the site.
However, this impact will be temporary in the nature and would be observed in first rain only
and as soon as rain is over excavated soil at site would be stabilized. Therefore, the surface
water quality during rains will be impacted marginally for very short duration
Also the activities are pointed out below:
 Exploitation of surface water for construction activities

 Runoff related to unpaved and excavated areas during the rain shower.
 Extraction of water from river for construction activities
 Sediments transported to runoff from the construction site.
 Run off related to area where lubricant, fuel other materials are stored, used and
disposed, off.
 Waste water from laborer camps
 Disposal of untreated sewage
 Runoff induced due to movement of transportation vehicles
Mitigation Measures
During the construction phase, surface water quality is likely to be affected due to soil erosion
during first rain and generation of wastewater mainly from construction labour camp. However,
Page 117
this phenomenon will be temporary and restricted to close vicinity of construction site. The
impact on surface water quality will be minimized by adopting following measures;
 Project proponent will ensure zero impact on water runoff flow direction and
drainage pattern of the area throughout the construction of the proposed project
by providing adequate water channel.
 Excavation during dry season and proper management of excavated soils,
 Clearing all debris from site as soon as construction is over.
 By providing proper hutment and toilet facilities for construction labour in the form of
mobile toilets.
 Through the proper treatment of waste water generated at site with its final
outfall to natural drain.
4.4.2.2. Surface Water Hydrology

The project site area falls in the drainage basin of Gomti River. The baseline study (ch 3)
reveals that the study region falls under the area of very low slope.
Flooding of the area is prevented due to the construction of the embankment along the river
Gomti on is left bank & construction of road on it by LDA.
4.4.2.3. Groundwater Quality
It is anticipated that approx. 200 labours would get engaged during construction phase to reduce
the impact on fresh water requirement; it is proposed to hire local labors. Taking 150 laborers
employed during construction phase, the total fresh water requirement comes as 6.75 KLD (@
45 lpcd) and 6.1KLD waste water (@90%) would be generated.

Indiscriminate disposal of sewage and waste water from laborer camps and hazardous
substances as source of construction activities such as paints, spent oil, adhesives etc. may
cause adverse impact on ground water quality if not disposed or managed properly. Debris and
wastes generated during this phase will be collected and disposed suitably.
Mitigation Measures
 Provision of mobile toilets is proposed.
 Solid waste generated from laborers camps during construction phase shall mainly
comprise household domestic waste, which shall be collected on daily basis and disposed to
the nearest municipal primary collection points. Litter bins will be provided at the site.
 Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints, solvents, wood
preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated during
Page 118
construction phase shall be stored-in sealed containers, labeled, and disposed of as required
by the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
4.4.2.4. GROUND WATER HYDRO STATUS OF STUDY AREA

LUCKNOW

Extraction of ground water may cause serious threat to depletion of ground water strata of the
region and can create serious problem of water scarcity.
In the area around the proposed project, rich aquifers are present. It is expected that
construction of proposed project will be spread over a period of 2 to 3 years. Water will be
required for site preparation activities such as dust settlement, consolidation, compaction and
curing as well as building construction which will be managed from CSTP of development
authority and Gomti water with treatment at site. Drinking water requirement will be managed
through municipal supply or tankers.
Mitigation measures
 Water required during construction phase will be provided by tankers and get stored at site,
to avoid any unhygienic conditions.
 Approx. 50 KLD water will be required for construction activities which will be procured
from municipal tankers. Rain water harvesting system is provided at the proposed site,
which would recharge storm water annually to the ground water. Thus no significant impact
on ground water due to proposed project activities during construction and post
construction phase are envisaged.
It is proposed to carry out the following to further minimize the water demand:
 Curing water will be sprayed on concrete structures and free flow of water will not be
allowed.
 After liberal curing on the first day, all concrete structures will be painted with curing
chemical to save water to stop daily water curing hence save water.
 Concrete structures will be covered with thick cloth/gunny bags and then water sprayed on
them to avoid water rebound and ensure sustained and complete curing.
 Ponds will be made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water flowing away from the
flat surface while curing.
 Water ponding will be done on all sunken slabs. This will also highlight the importance of
having an impervious framework.
Page 119

During the construction period, pollutions on ambient air by the proposed project include
mainly dusts from surface leveling at the construction site, movements of transportation
vehicles and their loading/unloading of construction materials, earthwork by
construction machinery and temporary piling of spoils. Engineering dusts may increase dust
content in the air at certain parts within the area, and may also be transported to neighboring
areas by wind, thus affecting livelihood and working of employees of adjacent entities.
Emissions from the DG sets during construction phase may cause some localized impact on
ambient air quality for short duration, as these will be operated during power failure only. It
may be noted that the DG set power will be used to operate construction equipment during
power failure only if required. Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the DG sets as per
guidelines of CPCB to facilitate the dispersion of flue gases into the atmosphere.
It is estimated that construction material would be required in following quantity during

construction phase:
Table 4.4: Quantity of construction material required during construction phase
Construction Total builtup area Qty (MT) At Per
Total Qantity (MT)
Material (sq.m) Sq.m
Cement 14,44,949.12 0.16 2,31,190
Steel 14,44,949.12 0.06 86,700
Sand 14,44,949.12 0.41 5,92,429
Aggregate 14,44,949.12 0.62 8,95,886
Total estimated construction material required for construction = 18,06,205 MT

Taking construction period as 3 years.
Total construction material required per day = 1650 MT
Capacity of one truck = 20 MT
Therefore, daily 80 trucks will be required to carry the load of construction material. Most of the
material will be in the form of ready mix concrete and solid material which will cause a decrease
in fugitive dust emission caused by handling of material. Pollution load due to movement of
these vehicles is quantified below:

Potential Impacts
Ambient air quality effects are normally assessed in relation to their potential to cause:
 Health deterioration and nuisance in local communities
 Health deterioration amongst onsite workers
Mitigation measures
Measures to be taken during the construction period include the following: enclosure walls
with a height of 2 meters or above will be built around the construction site; on-site
mixing is to be done at enclosed space, cement, lime powder and other construction
materials shall be stored at storage yard or tightly covered, discrete materials such as sand
and soil must be covered, the building materials to be
loaded,unloadedand/orhandledshallbecovered,closedorsprinkled,andnoneof them shall be
thrown or spread into the air; so as to reduce the amount of earth on tyres of vehicle to
and from the construction site; covers will be made on materials to be transported or they
will be transported by enclosed vehicles, routes of transportation vehicles shall avoid
residential quarters and other environmentally sensitive areas, and vehicle speed shall also
be limited. Alltheabovemeasureswillhelptoreduceimpactsofdustduring

In addition,exhaustgasfromengineeringmachineryandtransportationvehicles mayincrease
concentration ofcarbon monoxide andotherpollutants intheairof certain parts of the area,
however that will not affect the residential quarters;
furthermore,assuchexhaustgasisemittedatintervals,itwillcompletelydisappear
uponcompletionoftheproposedproject.
The proposed mitigation measures for the above are:

 It is proposed to provide adequate dust control systems in the form of installation of
batching plants, and loose material handling in covered sheds. Dust suppression system is
also proposed to be provided where ever necessary. It is further proposed to cover
scaffolding, hosing down road surfaces and cleaning of vehicles especially during the dry
season. Use of premix concrete or precast structures from nearby factories.
 Avenue and curtain plantation on the internal roads and peripheral plantation around the
site will also be developed.
 Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the DG sets as per guidelines of CPCB to
facilitate the dispersion of flue gases into the atmosphere.
 The soil management as discussed in EMP. The excavated soil shall be stored and used in
landscaping.
 The dust emissions shall be controlled by regular sprinkling of water during earthwork and
construction
 Cement bags shall be placed in covered areas. Sand and bricks shall be covered with
tarpaulin to avoid dispersion of material in air.
 The approach roads to the proposed site are good metaled roads, therefore during material
handling there shall be least spread of dust in the environment.
 It is mandatory for all automobiles vehicles to maintain the quality of exhaust emissions
within permissible standards.
 The ambient air quality shall be monitored regularly to ensure that the activities at site are
not polluting the ambient environment.
 Pollution under Check (PUC) certificate provision at entry gate for transportation
vehicles.
 Construction workers shall be provided with PPEs (personal protective equipments), to
avoid occupational health hazards.
 To improve the indoor air quality, contaminants such as CO, CO2 and VOCs to be
reduced by providing adequate ventilation. Avoid finish materials with high VOC and
formaldehyde level.
Page 122

During the construction phase of project, noise will be generated from the various sources.
Some major sources of noise generation at project site are listed here under:
 Generation of noise during movement of vehicles carrying materials and loading &
unloading activities.
 Generation of noise from excavation machines, concrete mixer and other construction
machines.
 Generation of noise during the operation of DG set.
 Generation of noise during concreting, hammering, etc.
All the above-mentioned sources at of proposed development and construction activities will be
intermittent and would be experienced occasionally.
The expected noise levels from various activities are given here under
Table 4.6: Expected noise levels from various activities
From vehicles bringing materials to the site 70 dB (A)
DG set 85 dB (A)
Excavation 80 dB (A)
Concrete Mixtures 80 dB (A)
Hammering 80 dB (A)
Mitigation Measures
 Tominimize impacts of noise generation from construction activities, the workers will be
provided with PPEs i.e, ear muffs and other protection devices. Silent type D.G. Sets with
anti vibration pads and proper acoustic enclosure for controlling noise would be installed.
 Routes of transportation vehicles shall avoid residential quarters and other environmentally
sensitive areas, and vehicle speed shall also be limited. Pollution under Check (PUC)
certificate provision at entry gate for transportation vehicles.
 Development of green Belt.
4.4.5. TRANSPORT LINKAGE AND TRAFFIC
Impact
During development and construction phase, labour and construction materials bringing
vehicles will approach to the project site. The proposed scheme is well connected to
neighbourhood, where public transport facility, like, buses and minibuses are easily available in
the area as transport linkage. The project site is easily accessible through Shaheed path. During
construction phase, some impact is anticipated on the transport linkage of the area, however
increase in traffic will not adversely affect the local traffic pattern since the site is well
connected Shaheed path, Faizabad road and Kanpur Road and present traffic load on these
Page 123
roads are not significantly alarming. Also construction of various towers will take place in
phased manner; this will reduce peak traffic load bringing labour and building material to the
site.
Mitigation Measures
The vehicles from the project will increase car and two wheeler traffic load on roads during
peak hour. However, since present load is lean, increase in traffic load may not lead to traffic
congestion problem. Once construction work finishes, heavy traffic volume will decrease and
that will further improve traffic condition in the area.
Additionally, the proposed construction site is well inside the road and there would not be
sudden influx of vehicles on the road from the proposed project. The entry and exit will be
through service road of the available width which will provide sufficient merging space for the
vehicles while meeting the road. Hence it can be concluded that traffic impact is not a
significant adverse impact from the construction and operation of the proposed project.

 The construction activities will be restricted to the project site only during construction
phase, thus does not poses significant impact on local flora and fauna.
 Site clearing would have negligible impact on biological environment. This activity will
necessarily comprise of removal of vegetation. Clearing of vegetation on the site will
involve removal of local floral species found on the site which has already been done by the
development authority during development of sectors.
 Existing habitats of local terrestrial fauna on the site will be disturbed and removed during
site preparatory activities.
Page 124
Mitigation measures
Site clearing will be done in the areas, where required. Site assessment shows that there is no
existing flora and fauna reported within the site except some grass sps. and thorny bushes and it is
proposed to remove vegetative cover only from the specific site on which construction is to take
place and allowing minimal disturbance to the vegetation in adjacent areas.
4.4.7. SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS

Relatively long-lived economic impacts of the development and construction phase are likely to
be experienced in local area for the duration of construction phase of 2 to 3 years as workers make
everyday purchases from local traders in nearby areas.
This is likely to give a short-lived stimulus to the traders that may disappear as soon as the
construction is complete. Noticeable, flow-on economic impacts will be experienced in other
sectors of economy as a result of purchase of construction materials and the payment of wages
and salaries to the personnel engaged in the development and construction of proposed group
housing. Once the development and construction of proposed project will complete, there will be
some long-term positive impact on the economic structure of the area. People in the area will get
direct / indirect employment opportunities and other benefits from the residents of the proposed
project. Therefore, overall positive impact is anticipated on economy of the area due to
development and construction activity of the proposed project.
Socio-Economic
During the development and construction of proposed project, about 150 skilled, semiskilled and
unskilled workers per day will get direct employment opportunity, which will have beneficial
impact on the socio-economic conditions of the area.
Construction Camp
Impact
During the development and construction phase, most of the laborers will be from local areas as
proposed project will develop gradually in the time span of 2 to 3 year, but temporary laborer
camps will be constructed to accommodate the laborers at the project site.
Mitigation Measures
Suitable measures such as provision of clean drinking water, adequate toilet facilities, medical
aid, crèche facilities for the children of workers, water and solid waste disposal system will be
Page 125
taken at the construction camps to mitigate anticipated impacts due to temporary accommodation
of laborers
Other safety precautions to be maintained at work site including provision of PPEs, guarding of
dangerous machine parts, maintenance of equipments as hoists and lifts etc, and adequate
provision of different types of fire extinguishers will be made. All applicable rules and regulations
pertaining to workplace health and welfare of workers will be adhered to.
Energy Resources
During the functional phase of proposed project, electric supply will be provided by Uttar Pradesh
Power Corporation Ltd. During construction phase, power requirement will be kept minimum and
construction work will be done gradually in about 2 to 3 years. Therefore, energy resources will
not be affected significantly.
4.4.8. SOLID WASTE

During construction phase solid waste generated mainly comprises of :
 Construction waste (construction debris, biomass from land clearing)
 Waste from labors tents
 Hazardous waste
It is quantified that approximate following quantities of different type of construction waste
would be generated, which if not managed properly can adversely impact the existing
environmental condition of the area. Detailed solid waste management plan is discussed in
Chapter-2, section-2.3.6.

 The indiscriminate disposal of solid waste generated on site can adversely affect the surface
water quality. The organic matter in solid waste can enhance the biochemical oxygen demand
of the surface water body and lower the dissolved oxygen, thus affecting the surface water
ecosystem as a whole. The impact could thus be short-term and reversible.
 The possible adverse effects on groundwater quality due to solid waste can result from
irresponsible dumping. However, disposal is most likely to occur on the ground surface and
hence the effects on groundwater quality and quantity could be negligible.
 If solid waste generated on site is stored in unregulated locations, it can lead to leachate and
other components of the decomposing solid waste to penetrate the soil surface, leading to the
deterioration of soil quality at the project site. Solid waste generated on site if allowed to
accumulate without a proper disposal site and proper management, will adversely affect the
aesthetics of the project site. However, with proper mitigation measures in place, the impacts
could be short term and reversible.
 Sanitation impacts will arise from uncontrolled collection and disposal of the generated solid
waste. If left unattended, waste can decompose leading to foul odour. There is also a
possibility of the spread of disease through vectors and other pests at unregulated solid waste
mounds. If a control measure is put in place, the impacts could be short term and reversible.
 The unregulated collection and indiscriminate disposal of generated solid waste, if unchecked
can create a huge public health problem. If left unattended, solid waste can lead to vectors and
disease, all of which could result in a medium to long term but reversible impact, depending
on the control measure adopted.
 Solid waste generated on site if allowed to accumulate without a proper disposal site and
proper management, will be an eye sore and adversely affect the aesthetics of the project site.
Hence the impact could be short term but reversible.
 Handling, movement and storage of hazardous wastes could cause occupational health and
safety issues to the staff and workers involved in the facility.
Mitigation Measures
 Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling is an
important strategy for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute
the majority of waste generated, recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate
can offer benefits of reduced landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for
new construction activity.
 Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints, solvents,
wood preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated
Page 127
during construction phase shall be stored-in sealed containers, labelled, and disposed
of as required by the Hazardous Wastes (Management,
 Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008.
 Construction activity involves some workforce to stay at site. Local labour shall be
employed to the maximum possible extent. The latter will require basic infrastructure
welfare facilities like housing, sanitation and other essential services. The proposed
site shall be provided with suitable sanitation facilities like supply of potable water
and sanitary latrines to allow proper standards of hygiene. Solid waste generated
would mainly comprise of household domestic waste, which shall be collected and
disposed off at the nearest municipal waste collection site.
4.5. ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING POST

CONSTRUCTION PHASE
4.5.1. Land Environment

Impact
During the operation phase of the project, the soil may get polluted/ contaminated from littering
of various kinds of wastes generated within the site such as food items, paper, wood pieces,
paints, pesticides, oil & grease, and the spent oil, etc. from the operation of DG sets in case of
power failure.
However, owing to the proposed solid waste management system, no significant impact is
anticipated.
Mitigation Measures
To ensure against any chances of soil pollution, it is imperative to establish a well planned solid
waste collection system covering all areas of the site apart from door to door for the residential
units. Proper solid waste management system should be managed by an authorized agency for
waste collection, segregation, transportation and disposal. Inert waste will be managed by an
authorized/hired agency.
4.5.2.1. Surface water hydrology

Impact
 Release of waste water generated into nearest surface drainage.
Page 128
Mitigation Measures
No water will be taken from water bodies in the area. Further, adequate drainage will be provided
at the project site to channelize the storm water for rainwater harvesting.
The sewage generated from the present scheme will be collected through the sewer line network
provided in the proposed project site for treatment in the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP), which
will be treated up to tertiary level in the STP provided to get required treated water for recycling.
Required treated Sewage will be recycled from Sewage Treatment Plant and will be used for
HVAC, Flushing and horticulture purpose and other low end uses. Surplus sewage will be
discharged into agricultural fields and natural drains after secondary treatment, till municipal
sewers are not available.
Therefore, impact on the surface water hydrology will be insignificant during the post
construction phase.
It is proposed to collect 12,342 m3 quantity of rain water through the network of RWH structures.
The roof tops of buildings will also be connected to the rainwater collection system. This will not
only reduce the pressure of storm water management system of the project but also recharge
groundwater.

Impact
 Untreated Sewage disposal to surface bodies may deteriorate or more worsen the quality
of water.
 Runoff related to unpaved and excavated areas during the rain shower.
Runoff before construction:

Total runoff before construction = Runoff Coefficient x Area (in m2)x Rainfall intensity
= 0.2 x 8, 09,112.57 x 0.04
= 6472 m3/hr
Runoff after construction:
Total Runoff Potential post construction = 12342 m3/hr
Thus there will be increase of ~2.0 times in the total runoff volume post construction.
 Sediments transported to runoff from the construction site.
 Run off related to area where lubricant, fuel other materials are stored, used and
disposed, off.
Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site. The
impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from excavated site
only causing increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water from the site.
Page 129
However, this impact will be temporary in the nature and would be observed in first rain only and
as soon as rain is over excavated soil at site would be stabilized. Therefore, the surface water
quality during rains will be impacted marginally for very short duration.
Mitigation Measures
The sewage effluents generated from the proposed project will be collected through the sewer line
network provided in present scheme, and treated in a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of capacity
5000KLD. No discharge from the project site will be made to any surface water body. The spare
treated sewage will be discharged to agriculture fields and natural drains till the municipal sewers
are available in the regions.
However, in the event of excessive rainfalls the surplus runoff will be guided into storm water
drains, ending in Gomti River.
4.5.2.3. Ground water hydrology

Impact
 Depletion of ground water table
 Groundwater contamination due to Indiscriminate disposal of untreated sewage
and waste generated during operational phase
Mitigation Measures
During post construction phase, the total water requirement will be taken as 5476 KLD. The fresh
water requirement will be met through ground water. The developer shall make internal
distribution network of water in the proposed project. Underground water tank of required
capacity will be provided and over head tanks will provided for water storage.
4332 KLD is wastewater generation from the project out of which 1346 KLD will be treated till
tertiary level and will be recycled for various uses including flushing, horticulture and HVAC
cooling and the spare after secondary treatment will be discharged to municipal sewers.
The proposed rainwater harvesting will recharge groundwater aquifers from the open areas as
well as roof top of the buildings. Treated wastewater from the site will be recycled for
landscaping, flushing and HVAC cooling to further reduce demand on ground water resources.
As indicated in baseline environment conditions, plenty of ground water sources in the area are
available. Further, rainwater harvesting will also recharge groundwater aquifers. Therefore, no
significant impact is anticipated on ground water resources due to proposed project.
Water meters conforming to ISO standards should be installed at the inlet point of water uptake
and at the discharge point to monitor the daily water consumption. To further lower the water
Page 130
consumption, options of Low flow flushing systems, sensor based fixtures, waterless urinals, tap
aerators etc will be explored.
Solid waste management practices will be adopted and followed to prevent groundwater pollution
through leaching.
4.5.2.4. Ground Water Quality

Impact
 Groundwater contamination due to indiscriminate
disposal of untreated sewage and waste generated during operational phase
through leaching
Mitigation Measures
The storm water from the site will be used for recharging groundwater resources after adequate
treatment of the storm water through oil and grease traps and filtration. The wastewater from the
site is proposed to be used for landscaping only after adequate treatment in proposed Sewage
Treatment plant. Hence, no adverse impact is anticipated on the groundwater quality form the
proposed project.
The proposed Project will be well maintained. Solid waste management practices will be adopted
and followed to prevent groundwater pollution through leaching.

The possible air emissions attribute to post construction phase of the proposed scheme may be
classified as below.
Impacts Identification & evalauation
 Indoor air pollution
 Emission from standby DG sets operation may impair the ambient air quality
 Increased Vehicular emissions mainly two wheelers and LMVs. The burning of
diesel emits flue gases (mainly Sox, NOx).
During the post construction phase, cars, scooter/motorcycle will be owned by the
residents/workers of proposed project and buses will be for the visitors to the Commercial area.
Vehicular emissions will be major sources of air pollution on approach road, Shaheed path and
will depend upon the traffic density on the road at particular time. Quantum and dispersion of
pollution from vehicular emission will depend upon the following.
 Volume of traffic at the roads
Page 131
 Meteorological conditions.
 Emission sources from automobiles engines (petrol/diesel)
Proposed mitigation Measures

 Fuel efficient and well maintained PUC certified vehicles will minimize the vehicular
emissions, NO2 and SO2 will be pollutant of primary concern. The dispersion of vehicular
emissions would be confined within up to 100 m from the road and concentration will
decrease with the increase in distance from road. It is anticipated that the contribution of
vehicular emissions in ambient air quality will be marginal but will be below the stipulated
National Ambient Air Quality Standards for NO2 (80 µg/m3). At higher wind speeds the
dispersion will be faster.
 Use of low sulphur diesel in DG set operations
 In the proposed project, green belt will be developed on the periphery of project site and
along the internal road, which will work as barrier for the movement of pollutants and help
in pollution control.
 Adequate stack heights of D.G. Sets will be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases.
 To improve the indoor air quality, contaminants such as CO, CO2 and VOCs to be
reduced by providing adequate ventilation. Prohibit smoking in common areas. Plantation inside
the building in individual flats by the residents to stay air fresh and oxygenated.
 Avoid finish materials with high VOC and formaldehyde levels.
Impact
The main sources of noise from the project are running of D.G. sets and vehicular traffic. D.G.
Sets installed in the proposed scheme will provide emergency electricity supply during power
failure. This will be intermittent and for short durations. The vehicles plying within the site will
be mainly of the residents and workers and hence are not expected to cause unnecessary noise.
Hence, during this phase, no major impact on noise environment is anticipated.
Mitigation Measures
D.G. Sets of silent type with anti vibration pads will be fitted to control the noise generated.
Adequate personnel protective equipment (PPE) will be provided to the personnel engaged in
D.G. Set room. The traffic noise will diminish within a short distance from the source of origin.
Honking within the site will be discouraged. Proposed rows of plantation will further restrict the
noise on either side of the plantation.
Page 132
4.5.4.1. Transport Linkage and Traffic

Impact
It is observed from the traffic count that the maximum capacity of the road utilized near site in the
morning and evening peak hours are about 65% and 53% respectively. The vehicle from the
project will increase car and two wheeler traffic load along the road during peak hours. However,
since present load is lean, increase in traffic load may not lead to traffic congestion problem.
Mitigation Measures
The project complex will have traffic entry/exit from 45 m wide road, south east of project site.
All the internal roads are 30 m, 24m and 12 m wide (including additional pathway) will be
provided within the complex. The entry/exit points have been marked on the layout plan. The
project site is well connected to network of roads leading from various parts of the city with help
of Shaheed path, and Faizabad road.
Impact Identification & Evaluation
Impact on biological environment during operation phase have positive and beneficial impact, as
part of biological environment improvement, green belt would be developed , landscaping of the
area will be improved causing positive impact on aesthetics of the area. Also with the
development of green belt noise pollution and air pollution impacts due to vehicle movements ,
DG set operations, odour problem from STP would be reduced, posing overall positive ,
significant impact on project Area as well as surrounding and aesthetics of the region. Also would
provide ground to attract local avifauna and other small faunal sps.
The change in land use profile of core zone shall induce some impact on biological environment,
though this impact will be limited to the maximum extent in the core zone alone & is inevitable.
Although there would be some traffic increase in the buffer zone and increase in the fuel
consumption in the core zone of the project area, but its impact is not envisaged to be significant
on the biological environmental of the buffer zone.
In the core area these in no reserve forest to be cleared which could affect the normal functioning
of food chain, food web, prey predator, relationships locally. Hence as such, no impact is
predicted on the biological Environment in the core zone.
Various kinds of plantation such as curtain, avenue and ornamental plantation and lawns will be
started during the construction phase itself and maintained during the operation phase. Open space
and parks will be fenced through the grasses and ornamental plants. Local and low water
demanding plants that will also be effective as sinks for various pollutants and attract birds will be
grown in the site that will contribute in positive to the local ecology.
Page 133
4.5.6. IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Impact
The predominant potential impact on the socio-economic environment shall be loss of agricultural
land as earlier the land was being utilized for cultivation activities. Now the land use of the area is
Residential as per LDA Master plan 2021.
Project will provide adequate employment opportunities to the local people. During post
construction of proposed project, more than 2000 persons will get direct employment opportunity
to be engaged in management, maintenance and security. As an estimate, during post construction
phase, more than 1000 persons will get marginal employment opportunities from the residents of
proposed scheme. This will help in improving the quality of life of economically weaker sections
of the local area.
Mitigation Measures
To further improve the socio-economic conditions of the area, it may be proposed to employ
mainly local people as workers. Much of the maintenance arrangements may also be made with
local companies and purchase of new parts from the local market. The EMC shall be responsible
for implementation of the environment management plans and the pollution control measures to
ensure that no disturbance is caused to the surrounding areas by the scheme activities.
4.5.7. IMPACT ON AESTHETICS

There is no scenic amenity or landscapes around the project site which will be deteriorate due to
proposed project. The surrounding vicinity shall be aesthetically improved as far as possible.
4.5.7.1. Impact on sensitive targets

The sensitive targets include the following:
1. Religious and historical places.
2. Archaeological monuments
3. Scenic areas
4. Health resorts
5. Biosphere Reserves
6. National Parks & sanctuaries
7. Areas of scientific and geological interests
8. Defense Installations
9. Airports
Page 134
There are few anthropological or archaeological sites or artifacts nearby identified by ASI
 Centenary of la-Martiniere -7km
 Dilkhusha Garden – 6 km
 Shahnajaf Imambara- 8.6 km
There shall be no activity of the present scheme which would cause any impact to any sensitive
target.
Energy Resources
Impact
During the operation phase of the project, electric supply will be provided from State Electricity
Board supplemented with DG sets. The proponents will make arrangements for meeting any
electricity shortage for the project. Therefore, energy resources of the region will not be affected
significantly.
Mitigation Measures
To promote energy conservation, it is proposed to provide the buildings with low energy
consuming fixtures maximize availability of natural light and make plans in conformance to the
sun’s path.
4.5.8. SOLID WASTE

It has been estimated that 30,013 kg/day quantity of solid waste will be generated from the
developed area. If solid waste generated on site is stored in unregulated locations, it can lead to
leachate and other components of the decomposing solid waste to penetrate the soil surface,
ground water leading to the deterioration of soil quality at the project site. Solid waste generated
on site if allowed to accumulate without a proper disposal site and proper management, will
adversely affect the aesthetics of the project site. However, with proper mitigation measures in
place, the impacts could be short term and reversible
Waste quantification is carried out to estimate the amount of waste generated by different
activities in the project during operational phase. Detailed management is discussed in
ch5 section 5.4.

Steps of BMW management

V. SEGREGATION OF WASTE
It should be done at the site of generation of bio-medical waste, e.g. all patient care
activity areas, diagnostic services areas, operation theatre labour rooms, treatment rooms
etc.
The responsibility of segregation would be with the generator of biomedical waste i.e.
Doctors, Nurses, Technicians, etc. The Bio-medical waste would be segregated as per
categories applicable.
The collection bags and the containers would be labelled as per guidelines of Schedule
III, i.e., symbols for bio-hazard and cytotoxic. Those plastics bags which contain liquid
like blood, urine, pus, etc., would be put into red colour bag for microwaving and
autoclaving and other items would be put into blue or white bag after chemical treatment
and mutilation/shredding.
VI. COLLECTION OF WASTE

It is proposed to collect the waste twice in a day in containers of hand driven wheel cart.
In OT waste is collected after each operation. The house keeping staff will used personal
protective equipment (PPE).All waste will be collected in temporary waste storage area.
The temporary waste storage area should be at the far end of the premises and properly
secured to avoid any accidental spillage and infection.

VII. LOCATIONS OF CONTAINERS

All containers having different colored plastic bags would be located at the point of
generation waste, i.e., near OT tables, injection rooms, diagnostic service areas, dressing
trolleys, injection trolleys, etc.
VIII. TRANSPORTATION OF WASTE

The trolleys which are used to collect hospital waste would be designed in such a way
that there should be no leakage or spillage of bio-medical waste while transporting to
designated storage site. Within the hospital, waste routed must be designated to avoid the
passage of waste through patient care areas as far as possible.
Separate time schedules will be prepared for transportation of Bio-medical waste and
general waste. It will reduce chances of their mix up. Dedicated wheeled containers,
trolleys or carts with proper label (as per Schedule IV of Rule 6) would be used to
transport the waste from the site of storage to the site of treatment.
Trolleys or carts would be thoroughly cleansed and disinfected in the event of any
spillage. The wheeled containers would be designed in such a manner that the waste can
be easily loaded, remains secured during transportation, does not have any sharp edges
and easy to cleanse and disinfect. Use of personal protective equipment is a must.
Page 141
IX. STORAGE OF WASTE
 Storage refers to the holding of Bio-medical waste for a certain period of time at the
site of generation till its transit for treatment and final disposal.
 No untreated bio-medical waste shall be kept stored beyond a period of 48 hours.
 The authorized person will take the permission of the prescribed authority, if for any
reason it becomes necessary to store the waste beyond 48 hours.
 The authorized person would take measures to ensure that the waste does not
adversely affect human health and the environment in case it is kept beyond the
prescribed limit.
X. DISPOSAL OF WASTE
Waste will be wheeled to truck by Hospital staff and will be directly transported to
Comman Bio Medical waste Treatment facility (CBMWTF). Use of personal protective
equipment (PPE) by waste handlers is essential. Log book maintenance for date and
weight of waste is will be recorded regularly. Disposal of waste in 48 hours will be
ensured.
XI. FORMATION OF WASTE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE
Page 142
Mitigation Measures
Solid waste will not be stored for more than 24 hours at site. Storage of solid waste will
be done on cemented surface to avoid leaching. Moreover floor wise litter bins will be
provided for collection of solid waste.
4.6. Impact Matrix

Various activities from the proposed scheme are likely to have some impacts on the
environmental constituents during its construction as well as functional phase. The impact
assessment matrix given in Table 4.8 reveals the impact associated with each activity of the
project on various environmental parameters during construction and function phase respectively

proposed project
Page 158
5.2. Energy Requirements

In arriving at the total demand of entire complex, diversity of demands within the building has
been considered. The total electrical load demand of the entire project is 25 MW.
The power shall be made available from the UP State Electricity Board. Electricity backup will
be provided through D G sets, which will be installed at strategic locations.
The fuel for D.G. sets will be stored in bullets in a separate unexcavated area, with a cushion
cover of 2 feet of earth and will be supplied through pipes. To avoid any water or soil pollution
due to leakage, suitable management practice will be adopted for the same.
Adequate stack heights of D.G. Sets will be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central
Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases.
Energy Efficient Features:

Suitable energy optimization will be adopted during the calculation of energy load of the
proposed project. Light Emitting Diode (LEDs) will be used in place of incandescent and
halogen lamps in all common areas and basement parking.
 Maximum utilization of natural light.
 LEDs & T-5 lighting fixtures in the common areas and Truelite fluorescent lamps in
basements.
 Use of solar lights partly in open areas and landscaped area.
 Appropriate thermal insulation in walls and roofs to reduce heat gain and loss.
 Glazing glass: to keep the U value, SHGC, VT as per ECBC.
 External glazing will be below 40% of the total vertical surface as per ECBC.
The U-values of the roof, external wall and fenestration of the building will meet the requirements
as specified in the Energy
Table 5.2: Conservation building code (ECBC)

S.No. Component Material Used Permissible U-Value as per ECBC
(W/m2-0C)
1 Roof Concrete 0.409
2 External wall Brick 0.44
3 Fenestration Glass Facade 3.3
Source:ECBC
5.3. Infrastructure Requirements

The proposed project will have various requirements like internal road, electrical work,
Compound wall, Parking space etc.
Page 159
Electrical Works: Electrical poles and light fittings will be as per Architectural design.
Compound Wall: Compound wall along the boundary with Architectural design.
Roads and open spaces: Out of the proposed development area, approx 15% is green. Standard
roads with footpath, trees and drainage facility on either side of the road. Roads and open spaces
consist of compound walls, grills, roads, sidewalks, parking lots, drains, curbs, landscaped areas,
street furniture, tree covers, and flowerbeds.
In line with environment friendly design it is proposed to provide:
 Permeable paving- Permeable (porous) paving will be provided to control surface water
runoff by allowing storm water to infiltrate the soil and return to the ground water. The traffic
areas will however continue to be impermeable.
 Gravel/crusher fines - Loose aggregate materials from concrete wastes will be used to cover
pedestrian surfaces.
 Use of grass pavers on the road, parking and pedestrian areas to reduce the heat island effect.
 Use of steel in fencing, grills, tree covers, and benches and even in streetlights will be
replaced by bamboo in the parks and green landscaped areas.

Parking Space: For vehicles, adequate space for smooth movement and parking shall be
provided at the proposed site to avoid any congestion and idling state emissions.
Parkingfacilitiesfor residenceand visitors:
 Road network: A well-planned road network both within the township and connecting to the
nearest highway or main road need to be established so that proper communication links are
established.
 For individual homes it is necessary to provide 1 visitor car park
 Design of the building is to ensure that adequate parking provisions are made to
cater to the occupants as well as visitors
 The parking provisions should take into consideration the two wheelers and four
wheelers. It is also desirable to design parking facilities with basement / stilts parking to
reduce the heat island effect. When inevitable the surface parking planned should cover
Page 160
issues to address heat island effect.

 Elimination of risks to children and old people in crossing the internal roads to
reach play areas and recreational facilities.
 Traffic calming is required. The tools of traffic calming include:-
 Installation of speed humps by raising the surface of the street in certain spots.
 Narrowing the street to give drivers the feeling they are in a crowded place, which
will make them slow down and totally or partially blocking half the entrance to a side street
so drivers cannot turn in but still can come out.
 Speed table, buildouts etc.
 Space for vehicles at the entrance gate for checking before entry.
5.5 Infrastructure to Reduce and Manage overall Environmental Impacts

There are various infrastructures to reduce and manage the overall environmental impacts caused
due to development of the project which are as follows:
 Rain Water Harvesting System
 Use of Recycled Water for different purposes
 Architectural Design and Building Orientation
 Environment Management Cell
5.5.1. Rain Water Harvesting System

 Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The
rainwater collected from the rooftop, green & paved areas will be conveyed into the
rainwater harvesting system consisting of Desilting-cum-filter chamber and borewells for
recharge into the groundwater.
 Rain water from paved and green areas will percolate naturally through capillary action
and augment the water table.
 RWH will be initially done only from the roof top. However the rain water pits have been
proposed for the whole area.
 Runoff from green and other open areas will be done only after permission from CGWB.
 Total Rain Water Harvesting Pits will be 82 in number to take care of 1234m3 of runoff.
5.5.2. Water Conservation Measures:

The water consumption comes out to be 86 lpcd for domestic, 30 lpcd for commercial and after
installing the following water saving practices:
 Using low flushing systems- using efficient water saving toilets with dual flush systems
thus saving about 50 % of water.
Page 161
 Sensor based fixtures – this reduces about 0.4 lit per flush.
 Low flow faucets along with other water saving devices resulting in 25 – 50% water.
 Low flow shower with rates at 7.5 lpm @ 80 psi.
 Other pressure reducing devices to reduce from 80 psi to 65 and 50 psi thus reducing
water consumption by 10 – 25%.
5.5.3. Use of Recycled Water

To reduce the total water requirement, to reduce the dependability on ground water sources, to
follow the guidelines of MoEF and to protect the environment, it is recommended to adopt
recycling of treated effluent from On-site STP for flushing, horticulture, generator set cooling and
any other low end uses.
5.5.4. Architectural Design

 Maximization of use of natural lighting through building design.
 Passive solar cooling, utilizing building shading through overhangs
 Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air conditioning.
 Installing window tinting to reduce sun exposure.

CHAPTER-6
ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
6.1. OBJECTIVES
Monitoring program has the underlying objective to ensure that the intended environmental
mitigations are realized and these results in desired benefits to the target population causing
minimal deterioration to the environmental parameters. Such program targets proper
implementation of the EMP. The broad objectives are:
 To evaluate the performance of mitigation measures proposed in the EMP.
 To evaluate the adequacy of Environmental Assessment.
 To suggest ongoing improvements in management plan based on the monitoring and to
devise fresh monitoring on the basis of the improved EMP.
 To enhance environmental quality through proper implementation of suggested mitigation
measures.
 To meet the requirements of the existing environmental regulatory framework and
community obligations.
The purpose of environmental monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of implantation of
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) by periodically monitoring the important environmental
parameters within impact area, so that any adverse affects are detected and timely action can be
taken.
6.2. PERFORMANCE INDICATORS

The significant physical, biological and social components affecting the environment at critical
locations serve as wider/overall Performance Indicators. However, the following specific
environmental parameters can be quantitatively measured and compared over a period of time,
therefore selected as specific Performance Indicators (PIs) for monitoring because of their
regulatory importance and the availability of standardized procedures and relevant expertise.
 Air Quality with respect to Particulate Matters (PM10, PM2.5), CO, NOx (as NO2) and
SOx (as SO2).
 Water Quality for parameters defined in IS 10500: 1991 and amendments.
 Noise levels as per CPCB Guidelines and at selected locations.
Page 163
 Soil Quality
 Survival rates of trees planted and Green area development.
6.2.1. Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) Monitoring

Ambient air quality parameters recommended for monitoring the project are Particulate Matters
(PM10, PM2.5), Carbon Monoxide (CO), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2).
These are to be monitored, right from the commencement of construction activity at selected
locations on site, excavation works, residential areas near the project site etc. Data is generated
once in a season excluding monsoon at the monitoring locations in accordance with the National
Ambient Air Quality Standards formulated by MoEF through Notification on November 18, 2009.
6.2.2. Water Quality Monitoring

The physical and chemical parameters recommended for analysis of water quality relevant to
project will be as mentioned in IS 10500: 1991. The location, duration and the pollution
parameters to be monitored and the responsible institutional arrangements are given in the
Environmental Monitoring Plan. The monitoring of the water quality is to be carried out at pre-
identified sources within the project area or as per UPSCB guidelines.
6.2.3. Noise Level Monitoring

The measurements for monitoring noise levels would be carried out at sensitive receptors and
construction sites. Sound pressure levels would be monitored on twenty-four hour basis. Noise is
recorded at “A” weighted frequency using a “slow time response mode” of the measuring
instrument.
6.2.4. Green Area Development

The green area development will be monitored during the construction and operation phase. The
main indicator will be survival rate of grasses and plants.
6.2.5. Soil Quality

Soil quality will be monitored and compared with the Baseline soil quality generated before the
start of construction.

CHAPTER-7
DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.1. INTRODUCTION
Disaster has struck mankind from time immemorial. Disasters continue to strike unabated and without
notice and are perceived to be on the increase in their magnitude complexity, frequency and economic
impact. These hazards pose a threat to the people, structures or economic assets and assume disastrous
proportions when they occur in areas of dense human habitations. This has compelled the need for a
comprehensive approach to prevent and mitigate disasters.
7.2. DEFINITION OF DISASTER

A Disaster is called when following one or the other or more incidents occur:
 Risk of loss of human lives-ten or more in one single situation
 A situation which goes beyond the control of available resource of the project
 Loss of property as a consequence of the incident is over Rs. 1 Crore and/or bears a
potential to the above
 A situation apparently may not have much loss but its long-term severity can affect loss
of life, production and property.
Disaster occur due to
Emergencies on account of:
 Fire
 Explosion
 Electrocution
Natural calamity on account of:
 Earthquake
 Lightning
 Storm
 Epidemics
 Flood
7.3. NEED AND OBJECTIVES OF DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Disaster Management Plan is designed to:
 Anticipate the types of disasters that are most likely to occur;
 Identify the possible effects of any disaster that may occur;
Page | 171
 Identify the preventative and mitigating strategies to deal with any possible disaster;
 Involve all role players in a coordinated manner to respond to the challenges posed in
disaster situations;
 Procure essential goods and services for disaster management;
 Identify the weaknesses in respect of capacity and skills to deal effectively with disaster
situations;
 Provide essential training in skills and to promote awareness and preparedness in respect
of the occurrence of disasters
 Plan in advance the relief operations that may be required or to be exercised in disaster
situations.
7.4. IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT OF HAZARDS

This stage is crucial to both on site and off site emergency planning and requires to systematically
identifying what emergencies could arise. These should range from small events, which can be dealt
with by plant personnel without outside help to the largest event for which it is practical to have a
plan. Experience has shown that for every occasion that the full potential of an accident is realized,
there are many occasions when some freak event occurs or when a developing incident is made safe
before reaching full potential.
 The assessment of possible incidents should produce a report indicating
 The worst events considered
 The route to those worst events
 The time scale to lesser events along the way
 The size of lesser events if their development is halted
 The relative likelihood of events
 The consequences of each event
Disaster Preventive Measures

It is not easy to control any disaster if contingency plans are not available. For effective control of
disaster adequate manpower, technical know- how, alertness and internal help are the prime
requirements. It is always better to take preventive measures to avoid any disaster. In the proposed
project following prevention measures will be taken to prevent disaster:
 Design, manufacture and construction of the building will be as per national and
international codes as applicable in specific cases and laid down by the appropriate
statutory authorities.
 Routes for escape during disaster are provided.
Page | 172

Guidelines for Disaster Management Plan

A Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is formulated for better and safe management.
The DMP will include the following elements:
 Assessment of the size and nature of the events foreseen and the probability of their
occurrence.
 Formulation of the plan and liaison with authorities, including the emergency services.
 Appointment of key personnel and their duties and responsibilities
 Action on-site
 Action off-site
 Declaration of emergency collection point at site
 Display emergency contact number at all prominent places of site like main gate, building
blocks, Store area and Canteen etc.

Appointment of Personnel and Definition of Duties

Effective emergency plans require that, in the event of an accident, nominated individuals be given
specific responsibilities, often separate from their day-to-day activities. The two principal people are
the site incident controller and the site main controller. A Senior Management Personnel will be
appointed to act as site main controller and a personnel Junior to him as Site incident Controller The
site incident controller will take control the incident. He or she will often be the person in charge at
the time of the incident.
The responsibilities of the site incident controller include the following:
 To assess the scale of the incident (both for internal and external emergency
Services)
 To initiate the emergency procedures to secure the safety of persons and minimize loss of
material;
 To direct rescue and fire-fighting operations until (if necessary) the fire brigade arrives;
 To search for casualties;
 To arrange evacuation of the building
 To assume the responsibilities of the site main controller pending his or her arrival;
 To provide advice and information as requested to the emergency services.
The site main controller will be chosen from the senior management of the works with general
responsibility of directing operations from the emergency control center after relieving the site
incident controller of the responsibility for overall control.
The specific responsibilities of the site main controller include:
 To decide (if not decided already) whether a major emergency exists or is likely, requiring
the emergency services and the off-site emergency plan;
 Continually to review and assess possible developments to determine the most probable
course of events;
 To ensure that casualties are receiving adequate attention;
 To liaise with Chief Officers of the fire and Police services.
 To arrange for a log of the emergency to be maintained;
 To issue authorized statements to the news media;
 To control rehabilitation of affected areas after the emergency.

7.5. DISASTER MANAGEMENT CYCLE
Figure 0.1: Disaster Management Procedure & Response method
7.6. RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE PROPOSED PROJECT

Main hazards identified for the project include.
 Fire due to LPG/PNG leakage
 Hazard pertaining to Fire in Building
 Fire in diesel storage area/ Garbage storage area
 Electrical accidents
 Earthquake
 Flood in case of breaches in flood enbankments.
Objective of Emergency Response Plan (ERP)
The overall objective of an emergency response plan (ERP) is to make use of the combined resources
at the site and outside services to achieve the following
1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it
2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property
3. Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties
4. Safeguard other people
Page | 175
5. Evacuate people to safe areas

6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities
7. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident control
8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the emergency
9. Investigate and take steps to prevent reoccurrence
The ERP has therefore to be related to the identification of sources from which hazards can arise and
the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The plan takes into
account:
1. The maximum credible loss scenario
2. Actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses / emergency need for good planning
so that with minimum effort resources, the emergency can be controlled.
Liquid Petroleum Gas
Risk Assessment-Methodology
Risk assessment involves identification of a list or “Range of representative incidents” and assessing
the consequences of the same and estimating the probabilities.
A. Range of Representative Incidents

Typically, a spectrum of events exists ranging from the high probability-low consequence events to
the low probability-higher consequence events. Total avoidance of risk (zero risk) is an unattainable
goal; however, risks can be managed and minimized through engineering design, good management
practices, and the implementation of response measures.
B. Estimated Probabilities: The releases from pipelines can be from a number of sources and can
vary in leak size. The risk assessment typically does not include very small continuous release or short
duration limited releases as the past experience shows that such release do not contribute to the
overall risk levels. The categories that are usually considered are small leaks and large or catastrophic
leaks.
Safeguards Taken in Design Stage

All Critical gas piping would be confirming to IS: 1239 with piping designed in accordance with
ASTM, ANSI and equivalent codes and standards within built margin of safety.
Page | 176
Emergency Response for LPG

A. Basic Actions
 Immediate action is the most important factor in the emergency control because the first few
seconds count.
 Take immediate steps to stop Gas leakage / fire and raise alarm simultaneously.
 Stop all operations and ensure closure of all isolation valves.
 As LPG fires develop and spread quickly, so all out efforts should be made to contain the spread
of leakage/fire.
 Members of Disaster Response team should assemble at the nominated place.
 Electrical system except the lighting and fire fighting system should be isolated. If the feed to the
fire cannot be cut off, the fire must be controlled and not extinguished.
 Start water spray systems in the areas involved in or exposed to fire risks.
 In case of leakage of gas without fire and inability to stop the flow, take all precautions to avoid
source of ignition.
 Block all roads in the adjacent area and enlist police support for the purpose, if warranted.
B. Actions in the Event of Fire

 Basic actions as detailed above.
 Extinguishing fires: A small fire at a point of leakage should be extinguished by enveloping with
a water spray or a suitable smothering agent such as CO2 or DCP. Fog nozzles should be used.
 Fire fighting personnel working in or close to un-ignited vapor clouds or close to fire, must be
protected continuously by water sprays. Fire fighters should advance towards the fire downwind if
possible.
 In case the only valve that can be used to stop the leakage is surrounded by fire, it may be
possible to close it manually. The person attempting the closure should be continuously protected
by water sprays, fire entry suit, water jet blanket etc. The person must be equipped with a safety
belt and manned lifeline. In case of rapid increase in decibel level or lifting sound from a relief
valve, evacuate the area as there would have been over pressurization.
Response sequence for Gas in dangerous situations

1. Person noticing the fire should attempt to isolate and extinguish the fire with the available
equipment and inform or arrange to inform the leader/senior representative regarding the
following.
 Location of the fire
 What is burning
Page | 177
 The extent of fire

 Callers name and number
Do not disconnect unless the person on the other side repeats the message or acknowledges it.
2. Security on duty coordinators will
 Respond to the scene of the incident
 Arrange to send the necessary firefighting equipment to the scene of the incident
 Extinguish the fire with the available equipment
3. Security officer will
 Sound the siren as per the siren code
 Inform the site main/incident controller and act as per his instructions
 To ensure closure of gates immediately to regulate traffic in such a way that free
movement of outside assistance like fire tenders, ambulance etc is available
 Ensure that under no circumstance do any pumping operations involving gas is to
continue. Restrict entry of unauthorized persons.
4. Security should cordon off the area and local city fire fighting staff should be notified. The
project will have the fire fighting water system but may not be equipped with staff to operate it.
Local fire fighters will need to be notified.
5. All other Management / Asst./Labor staff on hearing the siren, should STOP their operations /
work, switch off lights, fans engines, air conditioners etc. close all doors, pipeline valves and line
up in front of their working places and meet at a pre-arranged location. These people will assist in
evacuating the residents if necessary.
Post Emergency Follow Up

1. All cases of fire occurrence, no matter how small, must be reported promptly to the coordinator
for follow up.
2. Under no circumstances should fire-extinguishing equipment once used be returned to its fixed
location before it is recharged/certified fit by the fire chief/Safety Manager.
3. Used fire extinguishers must be laid horizontally to indicate that they have been expended.
Early Warning/Alarm System

An audible electric alarm (siren) should be located in the main gate. The different sounds that should
be generated by the alarm are.
Small Fire : No siren
Major Fire : A wailing siren for two minutes. Sirens will be sounded three
times for thirty seconds with an interval of 15 seconds in between
Page | 178
Emergency : Same type of siren as in case of major fire but the same will be
sounded for three times at the interval of two minutes
All clear (For-Fire) : Straight Run Siren for two minutes
Mock : Straight Run Siren for two minutes
7.7. INSTRUCTIONS FOR RESIDENTS (DURING FIRE/SMOKE IN

APARTMENTS)
 Get out of buildings as quickly and as safely as possible.
 Use the stairs to escape. When evacuating stay low to the ground.
 If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases.
 Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire.
 If in a room with a closed door.
 If smoke is pouring in around the bottom of the door or if it feels hot, keep the door closed.
 Open a window to escape or for fresh air while awaiting rescue.
 If there is no smoke at the bottom or top and the door is not hot, then open the door slowly.

is structurally sound, and there is no danger of electric shock in wet areas.
 If entry is delayed, use this time to begin contacting based on the question below – Begin keeping
a detailed visual record (photographs video) of the damage and the recovery process.
Page | 189
I. What types of materials has been damage?

II. What is the nature of the damage? Fire damage is the most common forms. How extensive
and severe is the damage? While it is not appropriate to inspect every item at this point, select
precious materials that can be salvaged with rapid action.
2. Inform insurance and legal representatives of the nature and extent and damage.
3. Investigate financial resources for recovery efforts.
4. Determine what commercial recovery services and supplies are needed and contact vendors.
5. Organize, trained, and supervise recovery volunteers.
6. Coordinate communications among staff and with the public and news media.
7. Keep records of all decisions made and activities undertaken.
Salvage Plan
The most important variables influencing the extent of damage in a disaster are the rapidness and the
rapidness and appropriateness of first response. In an emergency, the persons at the place of incidence
must know whom to contact, and those contacted must know what to do. The Environment
Management Cell (EMC) shall frame a Disaster Response Team and outlines its membership and
responsibilities.
Once an emergency has been brought under, the Disaster Response Team will gather information and
form an action plan. Depending on the nature of the emergency, certain measures can be taken
immediately to minimize further damage.
In a major disaster multiple areas of the proposed activities may sustain damage. If there are
insufficient resources to salvage everything, following established priorities will ensure that the most
significant materials receive attention first.
Salvage Procedures
In the event of a major disaster, recovery activities may be turned over to a commercial firm, but in
case the decision is made to perform recovery work in house, the salvage instruction of the chief
coordinator shall be followed.
Supplies and Services

The EMC shall establish a disaster supply system to contain the materials most needed for the initial
response and for setting up a salvage operation. Depending on the magnitude and nature of the
disaster, the EMC may also need to arrange for outside services and expert advice.
Page | 190
Termination of Salvage Operation

1. Based on the initial damage assessment, it shall be decided whether to withdraw or attempt
salvage of damaged materials. Severe fire damage is generally irreversible, salvage is not
possible.
2. It shall be decided whether the building or any party of it should be closed and whether hours and
services should be curtailed. While it is important to maintain services if possible, the success of
any salvage effort will depend on the availability of adequate numbers of staff and their ability to
work without distraction. The damage area shall be cordon off and discourage disaster sightseers.
3. It shall be checked frequently to make sure that measures taken to stabilize the emergency are still
working.

CHAPTER -8
PROJECT BENEFITS
8.1. GENERAL
A symbol of modern day town planning, the area is the witness of fastest growing township in the
Capital city of Lucknow, with international standard infrastructure. It has an exceptional demand for
residential complexes surrounded with modern amenities like fitness centres, Children Park, Fun Park,
medical aid centres, restaurants, community hall, Bank, ATM and shopping centres. Keeping this fact
M/s Shalimar LakecityPvt Ltd. are in process of developing a world class Township Project in
Lucknow. Proposed project is located at Village- Baghamau, Lucknow.
The project would provide positive benefits such as employment for a significant number of persons;
many of who will be employed from the wider community. Additionally, the cumulative effect of this
type of development would result in noticeable economic benefits for the community. The proposed
project will also make a positive contribution to social infrastructure and overall residential
development. The benefits of the project are given as under:
8.2. RESIDENTIAL FACILITIES

PP plans to provide excellent residential facilities. It offers for the spacious apartments to portray a
modern style of living with optimum space utilization and well – designed interiors and special
features like 24 Hour manned security on entrance gates, Water supply through underground lines/
overhead tanks, Fire detection/ sprinkler system as per fire safety norms, Electrical wiring in
concealed conduits with modular switches and power back up. These apartments are characterized by
large open spaces, efficiently planned interior design that ensures optimum space utilization yet
giving a spacious feel to the home. For a comfortable lifestyle these apartments are complete with all
modern amenities and outstanding levels of security. The apartments have been designed for
efficiency and demand minimal maintenance along with their very own social clubs and world class
facilities.
8.3. LANDSCAPE AREA

1, 22,412.38 sq mt (15 % of open area) is proposed to keep as green which will enhance the aesthetics
in and around the project site. This green area has number of landscaped parks, thematic gardens, lush
green open spaces with variety of flora & fauna.
Page | 192
8.4. EMPLOYMENT OPPORTUNITIES

The proposed project envisions generation of employment through all phases of project. During
design phase skilled worker architecture, urban planners, consultants etc would get directly benefitted,
same as during construction phase it is expect that approx 150-200 labores will get direct and indirect
employment. Maximum employment will be generated during operational phase of the project.
Declining employment growth in the organized sector and faster growth rate in the labor force than
the work force has let an overall rise in unemployment rate. Notwithstanding the above factual status,
the latest economic survey talks: ‘surplus capital and a scarcity of labor – this is because of capital
intensity of planned projects and their demand for high skilled labor. To the contrary, the investments
proposed in this project are labor intensive and therefore, employment centric. An investment in
housing and construction triggers of a series of investment in various sectors thereby adding to the
collateral advantage of employment creation of varied variety. The employment spectrum spreads
from unskilled workers at lower end to highly specialized circuit designers.
Currently construction / housing industry have perhaps the greatest socio-economic impact by way of
their large employment generation potential. Construction and housing is the second largest
employment generator in the country after agriculture. It generates employment opportunities in a
large spectrum of vocation – construction workers (skilled and unskilled), builders, developers,
suppliers, civil engineers, valuers, property consultants, furnishers, interior decorators, plumbers – the
list is virtually unending.
8.5. BENEFITS TO WOMEN

The proposed facility would generate jobs for the women laborers during construction as well as during
the operation phase. This will considerably reduce their travel time and therefore enable them to attend
to their children and also other household chores.
8.6. INCREASE IN LAND VALUE

The proposed project would result in the escalation in the prices of land in the nearby areas. The locals
are likely to benefit from the potential escalation. With the growth of a project, as is the fact,
endeavors are made by the local residents in the form of small shops and other services that provide
means of livelihood to them.
8.7. WIDER ECONOMIC GROWTH

This project will increase the economic activities around the area, creating avenues for
direct/indirect employment in the post project period. There would be a wider economic impact in
Page | 193
terms of generating opportunities for secondary occupation such as new markets, repair and
maintenance shops.
8.8. ADDITIONAL REVENUES FOR DISTRICT GOVERNMENT

The development of land for any purpose creates both an immediate demand for services and a flow
of revenues to the community from a variety of sources e.g. property tax, licenses and permits fee etc.
8.9. CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

Corporate Social Responsibility is commitment of the company to improve the quality of life of the
workforce and their families and also the community and society at large. In order to provide better
facilities in term of educational, health and medical and for betterment of environment, the company
is in process to negotiate with the local authorities and NGOs.
Area for CSR will be decided after the Need Based Assessment (NBA) and Focus Group Discussion
(FGD) which will be as follows:
 Medical centre at the site as well as mobile van will provide treatment to the villagers and free
medical camp with family welfare program will also be organized from time to time.
 Installation of Community Drinking Water System and Sanitary facilities
 In order to tackle the problem of water scarcity, treated water will provide to the villagers of
surrounding areas.
 Plantation along the road side and median.

CHAPTER-9
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)
9.1. INTRODUCTION
Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest the mitigation measures which would
play a vital role in prevention of environmental degradation during construction and operational phase
of the proposed project. This leads to preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
Environmental Management Plan therefore forms an important part of EIA process.
The Environmental Management plan is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is
implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner and understand the potential environmental
risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to minimize those risks. EMP also
ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the planned design and by
taking appropriate mitigation actions to reduce adverse environmental impacts during project’s life
cycle.
The proposed project will create certain inevitable impacts, both during construction and operation
phase, although within permissible limits as mentioned in Chapter 4 and can be reduced significantly
with the help of effective implementation of a well designed EMP. The potential environmental
impacts, which need to be regulated, are mentioned below:
 Air pollution due to the emission of particulate matter and gaseous pollutants from operation of
D.G. Sets during power failure and vehicular movement;
 Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment as well as vehicular movement;
 Water resource management to ensure continuous water supply
 Waste water generation from sanitary/domestic activities; and
 Generation of municipal solid wastes from residences.
 Maintenance of roads, parks, common areas including constructional, electrical and plumbing
wastes.
 Energy conservation methods
 Maintenance of Building Management Systems and emergency aids.
 Occupational health hazards
To ensure better environment in & around the project site, effective EMP is developed separately for
construction and operational phase.
Page | 195
9.2. EMP DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Control of pollution during construction phase is of considerable importance. Waste generated from
construction activity includes construction debris, waste from the labor tents, and hazardous waste.
Besides waste generation, management of topsoil, traffic movement, operation of construction
equipments and diesel generating sets, site security and aesthetical development of green area and
roadside plantation are some areas for which management measures are required.
Strategy for environmental management in construction work should be based on three-pronged
approach comprising of:
 Pollution prevention
 Pollution control
 Protection of pollution recipients
The following aspects of construction activity require control measures during the construction phase
of the present scheme.
9.2.1. Topography and Physiography

During the development, construction and post construction phase of the proposed project, no
significant impact is anticipated on local or regional topography and physiography, hence exhaustive
management plan is not required. It is however proposed to carry out extensive turfing with local
species apart from proposed plantations and greens.
Soil
9.2.1.1. Development & Construction Phase
During the construction phase, various kinds of wastes are generated that will be disposed in varied
ways. The following measures will be taken to prevent soil contamination at site and ensure waste
management:
9.2.1.2. Vegetation and top soil management

 Remove vegetative cover only from the specific site on which construction will take place.
 Plantation as proposed shall be started at the earliest.
 The top soil will be stripped from constructional areas and stockpiled for later reuse in
landscaping.
 Promote use of organic fertilizers.
 Construction of erosion prevention troughs, as deemed necessary.
 To prevent the erosion of excavated loose soil produced as a result of excavation, site preparation
activities and excavation work would be undertaken during dry season after monsoon is over.
Page | 196
Site Preparation
The clearance of site will involve removal of some wild, rain-fed vegetation and shrubs. Substantial
quantity of soil will be produced requiring stock piling and back filling to minimize disruption of soil
and for conservation of top soil; the contractor shall take the top soil out separately and stockpile it
and the same has been utilized for landscaping development.
Other measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion and contamination include:
 Maximize use of topsoil for landscaping.
 Avoid excavation during monsoon season
 Care should be taken to avoid soil erosion.
 To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers shall be used for storage and
transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the oil/grease handling area shall be drained
through impervious drains and treated appropriately before disposal.
 Removal of as little vegetation as possible during the development, and re-vegetation of bare
areas after the project.
 Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction).
9.2.2. Construction Debris

Construction debris are bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling is an important strategy for
management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute the majority of waste generated,
recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced landfill space and
reduced extraction of raw material for new construction activity. This is particularly applicable to the
proposed project site as the construction is to be completed in a phased manner. The management of
major construction debris includes:
 Fuel and oil would be stored in cement lined storage yard and handled carefully to prevent soil
contamination through leakage or spillage.
 All metal, paper, plastic wastes, debris and cuttings would be collected from site as soon as
particular construction activity is over and will be resold to vendors for recycling
 During construction of flexible pavement, bitumen wastes will be collected (if any) and disposed
in environmentally sound manner. Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, shall not be used as
fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and will be given to recyclers.
 The number, frequency and area of movement of heavy machinery will also be restricted.
 Recycling of construction wastes into aggregates for use in the project site.
 Spent oil from DG Sets should be stored in HDPE drums in isolated covered facility and disposed
off as per the Hazardous Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
Page | 197
 Wastes from the labour camps will be collected and disposed as per the existing practices in the
site.
9.2.3. Hazardous Waste
Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints, solvents, wood preservatives,
pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated during construction phase shall be
stored-in sealed containers, labelled, and disposed of as required by the Hazardous Wastes
(Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
Some management practices to be developed are:
 Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and greenbelt development
 Paint brushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be cleaned within a contained
area and shall not be allowed to contaminate site soils, watercourses, or drainage systems.
 Preference of low VOC and water-based paints.
 Provide adequate hazardous waste storage facilities, hazardous waste collection containers are
conveniently located, and designate hazardous waste storage areas away from storm drains or
watercourses.
 Potentially hazardous waste shall be segregated from non-hazardous construction site debris.
 All hazardous waste shall be clearly labeled.
9.2.3.1. Waste from Labor Settlements and Biomass
Construction activity involves some workforce to stay at site. Local labour shall be employed to the
maximum possible extent so that resident labor is not required or minimum. The latter will require
basic infrastructure welfare facilities like housing, sanitation and other essential services. The
proposed site shall be provided with suitable sanitation facilities like supply of potable water and
sanitary latrines to allow proper standards of hygiene. Solid waste generated would mainly comprise
of household domestic waste, which shall be collected and disposed off at the nearest municipal waste
collection site.
9.2.3.2. Handling of Construction Equipment
Vehicles deployed for construction work, transportation of debris and other machinery at site shall be
properly handled to minimize emissions of particulates and gaseous pollutants. The vehicle’s
maintenance shall be monitored regularly so as to avoid noise pollution and accidental spillage of oils
and greasy matters. Loading and unloading operations and movement of trucks shall be properly
regulated to minimize the impact of noise on the persons engaged in civil, mechanical and erection
works.
9.3. MANAGEMENT OF ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETERS
A. Water Environment
Page | 198
The vehicle maintenance area shall be located in such a manner so as to prevent contamination of
ground water by accidental spillage of oil. Unauthorized dumping of waste oil shall be prohibited.
Fire hydrant and fire extinguishers shall be provided at places vulnerable to fire and explosion. Sites
of deposition of building material wastes shall be cordoned. The open drains carrying waste water
shall be covered with concrete slabs to prevent the dust fall due to wind erosion and shall be collected
in cemented trenches for reutilization to a greater extent.
B. Air Environment
Erosion of soil due to winds cause dust nuisance in the area. The dust nuisance created by the
excavations, leveling and transportation activities shall be properly controlled by sprinkling of water,
providing dust arresting panels, regular removing of construction waste material, proper storage of
building material and keeping strict vigilance on trucks not to create any air pollution. Pollution under
Check certificate (PUC) shall be collected at the entry gate of complex.
C. Land Environment
The newly formed land shall be brought to normal formation merging with the surrounding
environment. Proper slope and stabilization of the ground shall be maintained to drain the surface run-
off during monsoon. Necessary action shall be taken on draining system to arrest erosion of soil
during severe monsoon and dry summer. Also, tree plantation work along the internal roads and
boundaries of the site shall be carried out side-by-side the construction work. Plantation will improve
the quality of soil and enhance the aesthetics.
D. Noise Environment
Noise resulting from operation of construction machinery may constitute and additional
environmental stress. Arrangement shall be made to provide noise pollution status of the proposed site
during construction phase. In case a source is found making significantly higher noise, immediate
action shall be taken to bring down its noise to a tolerable limit. Workers employed in high noise
areas will be rotated. Earplugs/muffs, or other hearing protective wear will be provided to those
working very close to the noise generating machinery. Proper maintenance of construction
equipments shall be done at regular interval.
Site Security
A construction site is a potentially hazardous environment. To ensure that the local inhabitants are not
exposed to these hazards, the site shall be secured by fencing and manned entry points.
Page | 199
9.4. POST CONSTRUCTION ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

General Features of the Proposed Project
The project is group housing project located at Village Baghamau, Distt.-Lucknow, U.P. The total
area for development of the proposed project is 8,09,112.57m2. out of which total area dedicated for
landscaping is 1,12,412.38 m2 (15 % of plot area).
Air Quality Management

To mitigate the impact of pollutants from diesel generator sets and vehicular traffic during the
operational phase of the site the following measures are recommended for implementation:
- D.G set air pollution control measures
- Vehicle emission controls and alternatives
- Greenbelt development.
As regards D.G. Sets emission are concerned, the most important pollutant requiring further control is
NOx as impact of SO2 emission is minimal because of the use of very less (~0.025%) sulphur in
diesel as fuel.
Greenbelt Developments
Increasing vegetation in the form of greenbelt is one of the preferred methods to mitigate air pollution
as plants generate oxygen, serve as a sink for pollutants, and also check flow of dust and reduce noise
pollution. Table 9.1 indicates various species to be used in greenbelt development:

 Saraca Indica (Asoka)
Management of Water Environment

A. Fresh Water
The net fresh water requirement of the proposed project is estimated to be 3518 KLD which will be
fulfilled from Ground water.
To reduce the dependency on Ground water, recycling of water from STP after tertiary treatment is
proposed for various low-end uses like flushing, horticulture and cooling of DG set also rain water
harvesting scheme is proposed to recharge ground water and attain sustainable system.
The wastage of water shall be minimized by a combination of water saving devices and other
domestic water conservation measures. Some of the measures are given below:
(I) WASTE WATER RECYCLING

To reduce the total water requirement, reduce the dependability on municipal sources, to follow the
guidelines of EIA and to protect the environment, it is proposed to adopt recycling of some of the
treated effluent from Sewage Treatment Plant for the purpose of irrigation, street washing, flushing
and any other low end uses.
Page | 202
An estimated 1958 KLD treated effluent received from the STP will be recycled and reused within the
scheme for the purpose of recycling the water for DG set cooling, flushing & horticulture use of the
project.
Provision of Guard Pond is not feasible in present situation as disposal of waste water in such guard
ponds may lead to development of nuisance due to breeding of mosquitoes and subsequently health
deterioration and odor problems which may lead to unhygienic/anaesthetics conditions. Also they are
having very large size i.e. another problem for them to use.
(II) DOMESTIC AND COMMERCIAL USAGE

 Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (ultra flow toilets & urinals, low flow sinks, water
efficient dish washers and washing machines).
 Leak detection and repair techniques.
 Awareness Campaign for reduced water use by residents.
 Metered water consumption.
(III) HORTICULTURE
 Use of drip irrigation system.
 Grouping of plants with similar water requirement.
 Use of low volume and low angle sprinklers for greens.
 Provide controllers with adjustable watering schedules.
B. Rain Water Harvesting

The rainwater shall be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface/underground
drainage network. The entire area shall be sub divided for recharging structures.
It has been proposed to provide desilting tanks and recharge wells for the desired purpose. The
rainwater will be diverted into the desilting tank to remove impurities and the outflow of the desilting
tank will be taken into the recharge well.
Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and overflow.
Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge
structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface layer of coarse sand to allow standing water
to percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these desilting chambers shall also be used for
horticulture use. The recharge well consists of 250-300 mm dia bore holes in the middle of the pit.
160 mm dia perforated PVC pipe will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit will be
filled in 3 layers of 500mm each consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. This system is
proposed for ground water recharge.
Page | 203
The average sewage generation shall be about 4332 KLD. The soil & waste from toilets & kitchen
will be collected in Gully Traps & Manholes in single network of S.W. /R.C.C. pipes laid
underground having Manholes/Inspection Chambers at appropriate intervals.
Solid and Hazardous Wastes Management

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)
The philosophy of solid waste management will be to encourage the four R’s of waste i.e. waste
reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery (materials & energy). This will result in lesser reliance on
land filling. Regular public awareness meetings will be conducted to involve the residents in the
proper solid waste management plan, options and techniques.
The disposal of municipal solid waste shall comprise of following main activities:
Collection and Segregation of waste

 A door to door and Floor to Floor collection system will be provided for collection of solid
waste in plastic bags/drums.
 Individual collection of waste from shops
 Adequate number of colored bins (green and Blue – separate for Bio-degradable and Non
Bio-degradable) are proposed to be provided at the strategic locations.
 Litter bin will also be provided in open areas like parks etc.
Treatment of waste
(a) Bio-Degradable wastes
Bio-degradable waste will be subjected to composting and same will be used as manure.
(b) Non-biodegradable waste
(i) Recyclable wastes: Recyclable waste like paper, plastics, and metals will be sold to the
authorized recycler of the area.
(ii) Inert Waste: Inert waste will be disposed.
Disposal
Authorized agency will be hired for collection and disposal of all the solid waste collected from the
site. A temporary waste storage site will be allocated on site for temporary storage of waste.
All the waste will be disposed off by the tied up authorized agency at their disposal site by identifying
the suitable treatment method listed as below, depending on the type of waste.
 Composting
Page | 204
 Recycling
 Biogas and production of electricity
 Use of inert material in making bricks etc.
 Final disposal at landfill site
Possibility of biogas generation from the solid waste collected from the present scheme has also been
worked out according to which:
10-12 kg of waste generates 1cubic meter of biogas and the waste computed from present scheme is
3029 kg (excluding e-waste which will be sent for recycling), the biogas generated is
302.9 cubic meter (@ 10 kg 1 cubic meter of biogas) 1 unit of electricity.
Since the quantity of waste generation w.r.t to biogas production is less and having biogas/electricity
generation project is not financially viable so the total waste generated will be disposed to competent
authority which collects the total waste of Greater Noida and can be used to generate biogas in large
quantities for use in bulk.
Figure 0.1: Waste Management Flow Diagram (Construction Phase)
Page | 205
Figure 0.2: Waste Management Flow Diagram (Operational Phase)

e-waste
Electronic waste, popularly known as ‘e-waste’ can be defined as electronic equipment/ products
(such as CDs, floppies, keyboards, monitors, power plug, batteries, etc.) which have become obsolete
due to:
 Advancement in technology
 Changes in fashion, style and status
 Nearing the end of their useful life.
The e-waste generated from the proposed project would be suitably managed through assistance from
M/s Synergy waste management company.
The mantra of "Reduce, Reuse, and Recycle" applies here also.
 Reduce generation of e-waste through smart procurement and good maintenance.
 Reuse still functioning electronic equipment by donating or selling it to someone who can still
use it.
 Recycle those components that cannot be repaired. To identify organizations who reuse or
recycle electronics.
Paper Waste
Waste such as old corrugated containers (OCC), old magazines, old newspapers (ONP), office paper,
old telephone directories, and residential mixed paper (RMP) are known as paper waste.
Page | 206
Most paper products can be reused or recycled, including newspaper and books, magazines and
catalogs, office paper, and certain types of cardboard. The mantra of 3R will be used in dealing with
such types of wastes.
Reduce: Reduce the usage of paper in daily life, will be encouraged.
Reuse: Try and reuse the paper
Recycle: Encourage recycling of waste paper.
The paper waste generated from the proposed project would be suitably managed. The collection and
management process is given in the table below:
Electrical Systems
The ultimate electrical demand for the entire project has been worked out as 25 MW. In arriving at the
total demand of entire complex, diversity of demands within the building has also been considered.
The power shall be made available from the Uttar Pradesh Power Corporation Ltd.
Management of Street and Landscape Lighting
A. BASIS REQUIREMENT OF ROAD LIGHTING

a) Adequate level of illuminations for heavy vehicles/light vehicles/cyclist.
b) Uniform illumination level over the carriage way with minimum glare.
c) Safety of movement.
d) Minimum disturbance during fog conditions/dust conditions.
e) Use of high efficiency lighting fixtures with high lumen output and low power consumption.
f) Aesthetic look
g) The proposal of street and landscape lighting shall be based on the design parameters and the
same shall be provided in the scheme.
B. POWER SUPPLY & CONTROL SYSTEM

Power supply to road lighting system shall be fed as per design specifications. Solar lights will be
used for street lighting.
C. TELECOMMUNICATION, CABLE AND SECURITY SYSTEM

Adequate provisions as per design shall be made for pipes and space for lying of telecommunication
cables, cable and security system.

Biodiversity Management Plan

i. EMP during Construction Phase
The following environmental impacts are envisaged both during the construction phase as well as
after that.
i. During heavy precipitation there will be considerable soil erosion and runoff as the soil
will be loose in the construction phase.
ii. During construction lots of suspended particulate matter (spm) will be generated due to
vehicular movement and other construction activities.
iii. Noise pollution is expected to rise.
iv. A lot of solid waste will be generated due to presence of workers associated with
construction activity.
During this phase there is least scope of biological intervention within the construction area. Only
green belt development activity will be initiated on the boundaries.
ii. EMP during post constructional phase
i. No direct or indirect threats are envisaged on Surajpur Reserve Forest& Wetland as it is

around 8.5 km from the proposed site and no parts (in whole or in parts) will be affected.
ii. Generation of SPM and other pollutants will not affect the reserve forest.
iii. Topography is flat and no floral and faunal sps. reported except some grass sps. and
locally domesticated fauna of nearby villages , hence no impact is anticipated due to
site/land clearing .
iv. Minimizing impacts of pollution in the air and water environment by development of
vegetation cover
Landscaping
Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place. Proper landscaping
reduces direct sun from striking the buildings and heating up building surfaces, prevents reflected
light carrying heat into a building from the ground or surfaces, creates different airflow patterns and
can be used to direct or divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference. Shade
created by trees and the effects of grass and shrubs reduce air temperature adjoining the building and
provide evaporative cooling. A study shows that the ambient air under a tree is 20C to 2.50C lower
than that for adjacent un-shaded areas.
Page | 208
Parks or gardens maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes will not only improve the
current ecology of the proposed site but also add aesthetic value in the area. The plan for plantation in
parks and avenues is given below.
Plantation Design
The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate,
elevation and soil. The plants should exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to be
selected for plantation.
1. The species should be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability.
2. The species should be wind-firm and deep rooted.
3. The species should form a dense canopy.
4. As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally available
5. Species tolerance to air pollutants like SPM, SO2 and NOx should be preferred.
6. The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing within the belt.
7. There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through.
8. Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the surfaces.
9. Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.
10. Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing, rapidly decomposable leaf litter).
11. Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing.
12. Bird and insect attracting tree species.
13. Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance
The pattern of plantation around the proposed project is discussed under curtain, avenue, field and
ornamental plantations.
A. Curtain Plantation
The plants would be of tall and mono-axial habit and planted three meter apart in a close-set manner.
The tallest trees would form the outer most part of the curtain belt.
Parks
Ornamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for people to relax and
suitable patches of lawns, rockery with cactus and other small flowering xerophytic plants shall be
planted.
B. Avenue Plantation
To combine aesthetic beauty and pollution abatement needs, two parallel rows of trees (inner and
outer row) would be planted on the either side of the roads.
The following trees proposed to be planted in the proposed project.
 Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering.
Page | 209
 Trees with branching at 10 feet and above.

 Trees with medium spreading branches to avoid obstruction to the traffic, fruit trees to be avoided
because children may obstruct traffic and general movement of public.
The tree species for the purpose, as given below, should be planted 1.5 m apart.
Alstonia scholaria (chitwan)
Legerstroemia flos-reginae (Sawani)
Saraca indica (ashok)
Nerium odorum (kaner)
Pterospermum acerifolium (kanakchampa)
C. Field Plantation
Plantation on open stretches of land helps to improve the general ecological conditions of the habitat
by adding greenery to the landscape and by providing a vast canopy of foliage for sinking of
pollutants generated in the area. The vacant area around the terminal would be developed as
woodland. The area thus developed would provide a perennial biological system for pollution
abatement. The plant species to be used as a community of mixed species, at a spacing 2 m apart, are:
Terminalia arjuna (arjuna)
Delbergia sissoo (shisham)
Pongamia pinnata (karanj)
Ailanthus excelsa (mahaneem)
Albizzia lebbek (sirus)
D. Ornamental Plantation
The available area, according to the demand would be used for planning lawns, hedges, flowering
trees and shrubs and seasonal flowers. In some strategic corners flowering climbers be used to create
the visual effect. The following species may be used:
1) Foliage and Flowering trees.
Nerium odorum Kaner

Murraya exotica Madhu kamini
Plumria rubra Champa
Habiscus rosasinesis Gurhal
2) Flowering Shrubs
Page | 210
Bougainvilles spectabillis Baganwilas

Thespesia populnea Sthel padma
Poinsettia pulcherrima Lalpata
Ixora coccinea Lal Rangoon
3) Flowering Climbers
Quisqualis indica Rangoon creeper
Gloriosa superba Malabar glory lilli
Tecoma staus Yellow bells
Bignonia venusta Golden showers
Flowering climber species above can also be planted close to chain link fencing for developing into a
flowering green screen, near the storage tank yards to provide an aesthetic environment. The free
space on the lawns should be planted with Cynodon dactylon grass.
EMP for Energy Conservation

Energy conservation program will be implemented through measures taken both on energy demand
and supply sides. Energy conservation will be one of the focuses during the project planning and
operation stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following.
Architectural Design
 Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air conditioning.
 Maximization of use of natural lighting through building design.
 Passive solar cooling, utilizing building shading through overhangs.
 To minimize environmental impacts of operations as by strict adherence to the EMP.
 To initiate environmental monitoring as per approved schedule.
 Review and interpretation of monitored results and corrective measures in case monitored results
are above the specified limit.
 Maintain documentation of good environmental practices and applicable environmental laws as
ready reference.
 Maintain environmental related records.
 Coordination with regulatory agencies, external consultants, monitoring laboratories.
 Maintain of log of public complaints and the action taken.
Page | 211
Energy Saving Practices

 Promoting use of Solar Water Heating.
 Use of energy efficient appliances.
 Constant monitoring of energy consumption and defining targets for energy conservation.
 Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy used for desired comfort
levels.
 Use of LEDs and low voltage lighting.
 Sunscreen films on windows to reduce heating inside buildings.
Behavioural change on consumption:

 Promoting residents awareness on energy consumption.

Hence, it may be concluded that the project will have significant positive economic and social
impact on the local community apart from meeting the housing needs of the occupants, without
bearing any significant adverse environmental impacts.
The following can be concluded based on the proposed project study;

 Due to the proposed project no adverse impacts envisaged on Ambient Air, Ground Water,
Land & Soil.
 Marginally noise level will be increased due to proposed project unit but it can’t exceed above
desirable limits due to management plan and tree plantation on periphery of boundary
 Due to proposed rain water harvesting system, quality of ground water will be improved.
 Socio-economic benefits in terms of literacy and generation of direct/ in direct employment.
Thus it can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation measures
