proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities details of the existing landuse

disturbance to the local ecology).

There will not be any significant impacts from the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to

the proposed site. The land has been marked for residential purposes as per Master Plan of Lucknow



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 7

Development Authority. The development and construction of proposed Commercial project will be

done as per applicable norms/byelaws. The proposed project will rather enhance the ecology of the area

as about considerable portion of area has been kept open and green.

1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability?

(Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc may be given).

Soil Type:

The development of soils in the district can be ascertained to different erosional and depositional

agencies. Different morphological units have been bestowed with different types of soils. The soil range

from pure sand to stiff clays, with combinations of these two extreme litho units. The pure sand is called

Bhur. Clay is called Matiyar. When the sand is mixed with clay in equal proportion the soil may be

termed as Dumat or loam a good agricultural soil.

Seismicity: According to the Indian Standard Seismic Zone Map, the area under study falls in Zone-

III as per the Seismic Zones in India, 2002. Suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical

directions will be adopted while designing the structures.

1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contour map

showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site).

There will be no alteration of natural drainage system. The area is fairly plain, however, due to change in

land surface to paved, the runoff during rains will increase.

1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity cutting, filling,

reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill materials

from outside the site etc).

A very little cutting or filling will be required as the site is fairly plain and devoid of any water body or

low laying area.

Construction of basements and foundations will require excavation of earth material, which will be

40,407c.um. Top soil (fertile) (i.e. 1,212 c.u.m) will be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping,

green turfing and horticultural development. 100% of total excavated earth will be reutilized into

backfilling, leveling and road construction. Figure 5 illustrates the management strategy of the excavated

soil for the proposed project.



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 8

Fig. 5: Excavated Soil Management Strategy

1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the construction period.

• ~100 KLD water will be required for construction purposes which will be supplied through

tankers.

• Domestic sewage will be treated in the septic tanks along with soak pits.

• Construction Debris (bricks, cement, concrete and mortar) generated, will be reused as for as

possible in backfilling and leveling.

• Mostly ready-mix concrete will be used.

• Spillage of oil from the machineries will be properly collected and disposed off.

• Domestic solid waste generated will be managed as per MSW (M & H) Rule.

• Lead acid batteries will be sold back to the supplier of new batteries. Batteries will be purchased

from the registered dealers only.

• Hazardous wastes will be managed as per Hazardous Waste Management Rules, 2008.

1.8 Will the low-lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and wetlands are

getting modified from the proposed activity).

No wetland or low lying area exists within project site.

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give quantities of

various types of wastes generated during construction including the construction labour and the

means of disposal)

Wastes which will be generated during the construction phase include the following:

Excavated Materials From Earthworks & Foundation etc.:

Construction will require excavation of earth material, which will be approx. 40, 407 m3. The top soil

(fertile) (i.e. 1,212 m3) will be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping, green turfing and

horticultural development. The sub-soil layers will be reutilized into backfilling, leveling and road

construction.

Construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and empty cement bags):

Wood - It would be reutilized in construction of sitting areas in the parks.

Packing material - The packing material from the project site will be used in composting.

Scrap metal - It would be given away to authorized recycler.

Concrete - Concrete will be reutilized in construction of amenities for the parks and will be kept over the

empty cement bags covering the excavated earth thereby preventing the displacement of bags.

Empty cement bags - The excavated earth materials will be covered by empty cement bags that will

prevent the soil from being blown away with air.

Hazardous wastes generated by servicing of DG sets and waste paints (e.g. vehicle and plant

maintenance/servicing):

The hazardous wastes would be handover to authorized recycler.

Municipal wastes generated by site workers:

This will be stored in bins and used in composting. Municipal wastes comprise of food wastes, packaging

and waste paper. Generation rate of solid waste from labour camps will vary from place to place due to

habits and living condition. Approximately 0.15 Kg/capita/day of municipal waste may be expected

during construction phase. The domestic waste water generated from construction camps shall be

disposed off through septic tank/soak pit. Some amount of debris, cuttings and construction materials

may be observed at construction site. However the quantity of their waste materials would be very small

and limited up to the construction site only. Contamination by these wastes would be negligible and

would be collected time to time during construction phase. The impact on soil during construction phase

will be marginal and reversible in nature.

2. WATER ENVIRONMENT

2.1 Give the total quantity of water requirement for the proposed project with the breakup of

requirements for various uses. How will the water requirement met? State the sources & quantities

and furnish a water balance statement.



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 10

Water Requirement, Source and Water Balance

A provision of 45 lpcd (liters per capita per day) for commercial water requirements shall be made. This

is in accordance with the Manual on Norms and Standards for Environmental Clearance of Large

Construction Projects, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, (page 65), 2013. The

water consumption comes out to be 45 lpcd for commercial after installing the following water saving

practices:

� Using low flushing systems - using efficient water saving toilets with dual flush systems, thus

saving about 50 percent of water.

� Sensor based fixtures - these reduce about 0.4 liters per flush.

� Low flow faucets along with other water saving devices resulting in 25 to 50 percent water.

� Low flow shower with flow 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%

2.6 Will there be diversion of water from other users? (Please assess the impacts of the project on

other existing uses and quantities of consumption).

There would be no diversion of water from other users. The water will be supply from ground water.

Rise in water demand is a local phenomenon but the project would involve spatial shifting of water

demand within a region.

2.7 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed activity?

(Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the proposed

activity).

Waste water generated is 50 KLD which will be treated in the STP of 90 KLD

KLD (designed at more than ~20% higher capacity). Treated water will be recycled for various uses

including flushing, horticulture, DG sets cooling and other low end uses. The surplus quantity will be

moved into municipal sewer line; necessary permission will be taken from the concerned authority for

the same.

2.8 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities

created.

Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The rainwater collected

from the rooftop will be conveyed into the rainwater harvesting system consisting of desilting-cum-filter

chamber, oil and grease separators and bore wells for recharge into the groundwater. RWH will be

initially done only from the roof top. Runoff from green and other open areas will be done only after

permission from CGWB. No demand will be met from the process.

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 15 mm/hr to 30 mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for design of

drainage scheme has been taken 30 mm/hr.

2.9 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project on the

runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase

on a long-term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?

Maximum storm rainfall of 30 mm has been assumed on the past experience. No adverse impacts are

envisaged due to proposed project on the run off characteristics of the area as adequate arrangements

have been made to trap the rainwater and suitable storm water drainage system has been provided. The

runoff from the area will increase during rains due to increase in paved area.



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 16

During the post-construction phase due to change in land surface, the runoff will increase during rains.

The runoff from the project shall not be allowed to stand and create water logging or enter into the road

side or nearby drain. Adequate measures shall be taken to collect such run off and either shall be reused

or stored in recharging pits. Suitable garlanding drain as per the existing contours of the plot will be

developed. There is no landscape change planned. The project will not aggravate the problems of

flooding or water logging in any way, as the topography is plain.

2.10 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of

ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained

from competent authority, if any).

There will be no impact on the groundwater by the proposed project as no ground water extraction is

proposed. Fresh water shall be supplied through groundwater source.

The rain water collected from roof top will be sent for ground water recharging through 14 nos. of

RWH pits. 334 m3/hr of water is available for ground water recharge which will be recharged through

RWH pits. A major part of the area is under green or open land which will percolate naturally and

augment the ground water. Therefore, most of the rain water will be directly infiltrated through these

open/green areas. Hence no adverse impacts are envisaged due to the project on the ground water

quality and the level. Maximum recharging of the underground aquifer will be done.

Ground water status:

Ground water in phreatic aquifers, in general, is colourless, odourless an slightly alkaline in nature. The

specific electrical conductance of ground water in phreatic zone ranges from 527 to 3318 µs/cm at 250

C. Conductance below 750 µs/cm at 250 C has been observed in a 44% of the analysed samples, here

as, above 2250 µs/cm at 250 Sl. No. C in 11% of the samples. It is observed that the ground water is

suitable for drinking and domestic uses in respect to all constituents except for total Hardness &

Nitrate. High concentration (>600 mg/l), total hardness in found in 11% of the samples with a

maximum value of 990 mg/l from Bhojpura. Nitrate is found in excess of permissible limit (>45 mg/l)

in 22% of the samples analysed with a maximum of 168 mg/l from Bhojpura. High nitrate values may

be due to return irrigation flow from agricultural fields where indiscriminate use of fertilizer is being

done. The Arsenic content has not been detected in the ground water of the district.

2.11 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting

land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts).



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 17

Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site. The impact

on the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from excavated site, only to

increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water from the site. However, this impact will

be temporary in nature and would be observed in first rain only and as soon as the 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. Plantation of trees will start from construction phase. No runoff will

be disposed outside the project boundary except in rare conditions to municipal drains.

2.12 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid flooding

of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour

levels).

Since the existing topography is amiable to surface disposal, a network of storm water pipe drains has

been planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought down through drain water pipes.

Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drains, catch basins and seepage pits at regular intervals for

rain water harvestings and ground water recharging. The storm rainfall of 30 mm/hr. has been considered

for designing the storm water drainage system.

2.13 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary

conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).

Sewerage and solid waste will be generated from temporary labour camps on site, which will be

temporary in nature during the initial construction phase. Wash bins will be placed near the camps for

solid waste collection; the camp’s solid waste will be properly disposed as per MSW Rules 2000. The

sewage will be disposed through soak pit and septic tanks. Therefore during construction their will not be

any unsanitary conditions around the project area.

2.14 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give

details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities

for recycling and disposal).

Sewer network shall be used for collection of sewage. The collected sewerage shall be treated in STP.

For conservation of water, treated water will be recycled for various uses including flushing, horticulture,

Diesel generator sets cooling, and other low end uses. The surplus quantity will be utilized for irrigation

by the nearby agricultural fields till the availability of municipal sewer line; necessary permission will be

taken from the concerned authority for the same.

The STP capacity shall be as per requirement of recycled water with ~20% higher capacity for future use.

Thus the STP capacity will be 90 KLD.



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 18

Total waste water generated is approximately 240 KLD and the STP sludge shall be used as manure for

horticulture.

2.15 Give details of dual plumbing system, if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or any other

use.

For conservation of water, the treated water will be recycled from the STP for diesel generator sets

cooling, flushing, horticulture etc. Dual plumbing shall be used for recycled water using different color

pipes.

3. Vegetation

3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem

with its unique features, if any).

All the waste (liquid/solid/gases) will be treated and managed as per rules. The proposed project would

not have any impact on the biodiversity. Some of the flora-fauna found in the region is listed in the

below:

Flora of the study area (Secondary sources): Ashoka, Chitwan, Scholar Tree, Neem, Kaner, Amaltas,

Gulmohar, Peepal, Bottle Brush & Bottle Palm etc.

Fauna of the Study area (Secondary sources): Mostly domestic animal’s viz. dog, cat, horse, donkey,

hyna & cattle etc.

Avifauna: Common Crow, Chukar Partridge, Duck, Hornbill, Snow Partridge & Rain Quail etc.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed

account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).

There are no significant vegetations, except very small vegetation like Parthenium and Doob grass.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important site

features? (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water bodies etc

along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale).

A combination of evergreen and ornamental flowering trees, palms, shrubs and ground covers will be

planted along the sides of the roads and in open spaces & set back area within the complex.

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 surface, creates different airflow patterns and can be used to



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 19

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 2 to 2.5 0C lower than that for adjacent non-

shaded areas.

Parks & Avenue Plantation

Ornamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for visitors to relax and

suitable patches of lawns shall be provided. The following trees are proposed to be planted in the

proposed project:

• Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering.

• 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 selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate, elevation

and soil. The list of plant species, which can be suitably planted, and having significant importance are

provided in Table 10.

for their movement? Provide the details.

There would be no displacement of fauna or creation of barriers for their movement.



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 20

4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.

There would be no impact on the avifauna of the area. Due to the provision of plantation on the project

site it is expected that site will attract small fauna.

4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse impacts on fauna.

As there would be no displacement of fauna, no mitigation measures are required and provided.

5. Air Environment

5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give details

of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into

account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions).

Increased traffic generation due to project is not going to cause significant increase in atmospheric

concentration of gases and will not result in heat island formation. The minor impacts of emissions from

traffic will be neutralized by developing a thick green belt along the periphery and internal road side.

During construction phase, dust emissions will be the main pollutants associated within on-site roads,

(paved and unpaved), stockpiles and material handling.

Regular water sprinkling will be done and construction material will be transferred in trucks covered

with tarpaulin.

The other source of pollution during operational phase will be emissions from diesel generator sets.

Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the diesel generator sets as per guidelines of MoEF (as per

the Gazette of India Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (I) No. 318, dated July 11, 2002, is given below,

refer table no. 4.3) to facilitate the dispersion of flue gases into the atmosphere.

5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gases? Give

details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.

During operation phase, diesel generator sets operated for back-up diesel supply are identified as the only

major sources of gaseous and particulate emission. NO2 and SO2 emissions are expected due to fuel

combustion in generator sets.



Lucknow

FORM – 1A Page 21

During the construction stage of the project, there remain chances for generation of dust, which will be

controlled by sprinkling of water, covering building materials by tarpaulin, covering the structure with

Hessian clothes etc. No hazardous gases will be generated during the construction stage of the project.

Most of the concrete to be used at site, will be ready mix concrete procured from nearby factories.

5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the present level

of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement including the traffic

management at the entry & exit to the project site.

The project complex will have entry from 12 m wide road. All the internal roads would be 9 m wide. The

entry/exit point has been marked on the layout plan and it is 6 mt wide. The project site is well connected

to network of roads leading from various parts of the city.

Adequate provision has already been kept for car/vehicles parking at the proposed project. Vehicle

parking will be both in the basement and in open within the premises.

CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction

Lucknow is the capital of Uttar Pradesh, the most populous state of India. It is

known for its rich cultural heritage. The present population of Lucknow city is more

than 3 million. Being an important service and trading centre, Lucknow continues to

grow and attract large number of people to the city. The rapid growth of the city and the

associated urban sprawl has accentuated the demand-supply mismatch amidst

constrained public transport infrastructure.

The situation of the proposed Mall is such that it is amidst of a huge residential colony of

Ashiyana, LDA Colony, Bangla Bazar & Hind Nagar with a direct catchment of 1.20 Lacs

population in a radius of 2.0Kilometers. As it is surrounded by other commercial

buildings being in t6he zone of SUB COMMERCIAL BUSINESS CENTRE (CLUSTER

COMMERCIAL AREA). It is the hub of all commercial activities in the area.

Our building will be comprising of organized retail & hyper markets & the screen

multiplex which will be fully air-conditioned & equipped with all modern amenities &

fully equipped with all environmental friendly equipments with LPG Gensets &

restaurant cooking, self constrained STP & WTP with minimal water drawn from

underground resources as municipal water supply is being in abundance & recycling of

waste water will be done through STP & WTP. The gensets will only be of standby

nature only in the case of major power grid failure it will be operational. Solar Lights &

water heaters will be provided for non conventional power requirements more that

whatever minimum is stipulated according to government guidelines.

As awareness of power saving & conservation is quite high amongst the end users (i.e

high end retailers of International & national players) it will be so designed with LED’S

& Natural Lights inside the Mall so as to save energy.




Our endeavor is not only to conserve energy in the Mall but also to be forerunner in

green building technologies.

The lower floor consisting of LGF, UGF for retail shops & hypermarkets & the second

floor & above is for Multiplex, cinema, foyers, restaurants & food courts.

The Mall will be functioned by end of 2019.

1.2 The Company

M/s Poddar Real Estates Pvt. Ltd was formed for the basic objectives of development of

a Mall & Multiplex in Lucknow & for this reason we had in an open action of Lucknow

Development Authority commercial plots bought a piece of land for this purpose.

1) Strategies for the project are being thoroughly considered.

2) Rigorous control of change during each stage of design and construction.

3) Well managed project, from beginning to end by people who understand that

certainty in time, cost and quality is the key.




4) Aim to add value to decisions to provide maximum benefit against capital

expenditure.

1.4 Need for Environmental Clearance

To safeguard the environment from adverse effects of developmental activities,

MoEF has issued some mandatory regulations, according to which, Environmental

Impact Study is mandatory for any construction projects with built-up area of more

than 1,50,000 m2. Since the built-up area of the present project is 29,746.16 SQM it does

not require detailed study, only clearance has been called for from concerned

authorities (SEAC) through the EIA Proposal consisting of Form 1, Form 1A and

Conceptual Plan. The study would facilitate PP to obtain Environmental Clearance (EC)

from the SEAC, UP, Government of India as per the above mentioned notification.

1.5 The Environment Clearance Process

A properly conducted clearance lessens conflicts by promoting community

participation, informing decision makers, and also helps in laying the base for

environmentally sound projects. By integrating the environmental impacts of the

proposed activities and their mitigation measures early in the project planning cycle,

the benefits of clearance could be realized in all stages of the project, from exploration

and planning, through construction, commissioning, operations, and even beyond site

closure. An Environment Clearance Report meets three core values:

1) Integrity: Fair, objective, unbiased and balanced process

2) Utility: Balanced, credible information for decision-making

3) Sustainability: The environmental factors are considered on an equity basis with

technical and economic factors throughout the project planning, assessment and

implementation phases. This practice also helps the management in assessing

the negative impacts and in designing cost-effective remedial measures in

compliance with regulations for environmental safeguards.




1.6 Objectives of the Study

This report is concerned with the environmental clearance of the proposed project. It

takes into consideration the following aspects:

1) Greenbelt plan showing 15% of total plot area and pattern.

2) Source of water and its availability.

3) Water conservation measures proposed in the project.

4) Plans for effluent treatment and disposal.

5) Plans for hazardous and solid waste management/disposal and authorization.

6) Plan for rooftop rainwater harvesting.

7) Plans for environmental monitoring.

8) Plans for infrastructure facilities such as water supply, fuel, sanitation etc. for the

workers.

9) Noise level in and around the plant area.

10) Occupational health surveillance plan for the workers.

Quality Standards of Water Supply

The objective of Water Works Management is to ensure that the water supplied is free

from pathogenic organisms, clear, palatable and free from undesirable taste and odour,

of reasonable temperature, neither corrosive nor scale forming and free from minerals

which could produce undesirable physiological effects. The establishment of minimum

standards of quality for public water supply is of fundamental importance in achieving

this objective. The physical and chemical quality of drinking water shall be in

accordance with the recommended guidelines. Parameters for analysis of water quality

were selected based on the utility of the particular source of water as per MoEF

guidance. Hence quality of ground water was compared with IS: 10500 for drinking

purposes and surface water quality were compared with CPCB Water Quality Criteria

against A, B, C, D & E classes of water.

Water Supply

Underground tanks shall be provided in the proposed project for domestic and

firefighting purposes. The water shall be distributed 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 affected.

The water will be boosted from central underground storage tank to overhead tanks

over building roofs by hydro-pneumatic pumps. By using hydro-pneumatic pump set of

variable drive, the same set of pumps will be used for a group of buildings by single

supply feeder.

2.2 Salient Features of Sewerage System

2.2.1 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.

The drainage system in the city has been designed according to its general slope which

is towards river Yamuna.

2.2.2 Sewage Collection & Treatment

The soil and 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 and shall be discharged into proposed STP for

recycling of treated waste water within premises for different uses like flushing,

horticulture, cooling towers, Gasgenerator cooling and other low end uses. Table 2.6

illustrates the estimated raw effluent characteristics.

• Screen Chamber

• Oil & Grease Trap

• Sewage equalization tank/sump

• Aeration Tank cum SAFF Reactors

• Secondary Tube Settler Tank

• Sludge Holding Tank

• UV System




• Air Blowers, Pumps & equipment

2.4 Power Requirement, Source and Backup

The details of power requirement & source are given below:

Power requirement: 5 KVA ( for Construction Phase) & 700 KVA (for Operational Phase)

Source of Power: Dakshinanchal Vidhyut Vitran Nigam Limited

Backup Gas Based Gensets: 5 KVA

Dia. of chimney: 500 mm

2.5 Rain Water Drainage System




The rainwater will be collected through piped drains and conveyed into rainwater

harvesting system. All storm water drains would be 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

rainwharvesting system consisting of desilting-cum-filter chamber and bore wells for

recharge into the groundwater. RWH will be initially done only from the roof top. Runoff

from green and other open areas will be done only after permission from CGWB. No

demand will be met from the process.

Analysis of the observed data on intensity and 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 15 mm/hr to 30 mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for design of drainage

scheme has been taken 30 mm/hr.




Table 2.5: Rain Water Calculation

Total Runoff Potential = 259.69 m3/hr

Taking 15 minutes Retention Time, Total volume of storm water = 259.69/4 = 64.9 m3

Taking the effective diameter and depth of a recharge pit be 3 m and 2 m respectively:

Volume of a single Recharge pit (b) = π r2h = 3.14 x 1.5 x 1.5 x 2 = 14.13 m3

Hence No. of pits required = 64.9 /14.13 = 4.59 or 5 pits

Provided Pits: 5 Pits

De-silting tank shall be 3 x 2 x 1.5 m.

Recharge Pit: dia = 3 m and depth = 2 m

2.6 Solid Waste Collection / Disposal Plan

The solid waste generated from the project will be mainly domestic in nature. The solid

waste shall be first segregated as bio-degradable and non bio-degradable separately.

The recyclable inorganic waste will be sold to registered buyers. The bio-degradable

wastes will be transferred into a designated collection point for disposal by municipal

authority/hired agency.

2.6.1 Collection and Segregation of waste

• A door to door system through garbage chute collection shall be provided for

collection of solid waste generated.

• Adequate numbers of colored bins (green and blue - separate for bio-degradable

and non bio-degradable) are proposed to be provided.

• Storage of solid waste shall be done only for 48 hours at site.


• Hazardous waste (filters) & e-waste will be stored at separate place and

handover to authorized dealers of CPCB.

• Litter bin will also be provided in open areas like commercial spaces, parks &

play grounds etc.

2.6.2 Treatment of waste

Municipal Solid Waste predominantly includes household waste (domestic waste) and

sometimes with the addition of commercial wastes collected by a municipality within a

given area. Rapid increase in volume and types of solid and hazardous waste, as a result

of continuous economic growth, urbanization and industrialization, is becoming a

burgeoning problem for national and local governments to ensure effective and

sustainable management of waste.

Bio-Degradable wastes:

• Bio-degradable waste will be subjected to composting and the compost will be

used as manure.

• Horticultural waste is proposed to be composted and will be used for gardening

purposes. The cropped grass will be spread on the green area. It will act as

manure after decomposition.




Recyclable wastes:

Recyclable waste like paper, plastics, and metals will be sold to the authorized recycler

of the area.

2.6.3 Disposal

The proper disposal of urban waste is not only enormously necessary for the

preservation and improvement of public health but it has an immense potential for

resource recovery.

Generated solid waste shall be segregated & collected on common solid waste collection

center at site, from where it will be transported to the nearest landfill site by the hired

waste management/municipal agency for their treatment and disposal. However, the

MSW management approach will be towards zero landfill by reducing the amount of

inert waste.

Fig 2.6: Waste Management Flow Diagram (Operational Phase)

2.6.4 E-Waste

E-Waste (Management & Handling Rule, 2011,12th May) 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, 2011) 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 centers

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 e-waste generated from the proposed project would be suitably managed

through assistance from E-parisira.

• 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.

2.7 Traffic Management Plan and Parking Facilities

The project complex will have bell shaped entry from 38m wide road. All the internal

roads would be 9 m wide. 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.




Adequate provision has already been kept for car/vehicles parking at the proposed

project. Vehicle parking will be both in the basement and in open within the premises.




CHAPTER 3

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

Before the start of any Environmental Impact Assessment study, it is necessary

to identify the baseline levels of relevant environmental parameters, which are likely to

be affected as a result of the construction and operation of the planned project. A similar

approach has been adopted for conducting the EIA study for the proposed project. The

planning of the baseline survey through secondary sources, commenced with the short-

listing of impacts and identification of parameters for which the data needs to be

collected. This section assesses the nature, type and dimensions of the study area and

describes the relevant physical and biological environmental components of the project

site.

3.1 Physical Attributes

Accurate determination of baseline conditions of natural and physical

environmental components at project site is vital for robust impact assessment. The

components of the environment for which the information has been collected are

described in the following subsections.

3.1.1 Climate

The city experiences tropical type of climate. The summer is very hot and dry while

winter is very cold. The maximum mean monthly atmospheric temperature, 41.880C,

has been recorded in May and the minimum 7.40C in January. The average annual

maximum and minimum temperatures are 32.30C and 19.00C, respectively. The city

receives rainfall mainly from the South-West monsoon, which is effective between June

and September. The annual rainfall is 679 mm of which 90% is contributed by the

South-West monsoon.




Table 3.1: Climate data of Agra

3.1.2 Geography

Agra is located at latitude 27010' N and longitude 78005' E.




3.1.3 Drainage

River Yamuna forms the major drainage of the city and it flows from North to South-

East of the city. The overall drainage is controlled by the Yamuna river. There are about

13 unlined and 6 lined drains flowing across the city area. These drains were formerly

natural water drainage. Now they serve as sewage disposal drains.

3.1.4 Topography

Agra district is situated in South-West semi-arid zone of UP. It is located at altitude of

27.20 North and longitude of 77.90 easts. River Chambal makes the southern boundary

of district and flows from West to East separating district Bhind (M.P) In the North Agra

is bounded by districts of Firozabad and Etawah.




3.1.5 Seismo-Tectonic Appraisal of the 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. The seismological map of the

project site is shown in Figure 3.2.



Fig 3.1: Seismological Map Locating Project Site

3.2 Water Environment

Hydrogeology

River Yamuna forms the major drainage of the city and it flows from North to

South-East of the city. The overall drainage is controlled by the Yamuna river. There are

about 13 unlined and 6 lined drains flowing across the city area. These drains were

formerly natural water drainage. Now they serve as sewage disposal drains.

Groundwater occurs under unconfined to semi-confined conditions. Depth to water

level varies from 17 to 23 m bgl but in the topographic lows and in the vicinity of Agra

canal and Yamuna, water table is within depth of 10 m bgl. The water level data show a

declining trend. The regional water table data shows that the ground water movement

in general is from west to east on the right bank and east to west on the left bank. The

local topography plays an important role in controlling the ground water movement in

the area.

Proposed site




Ground water status

The chemical quality of groundwater in Agra is a big constraint in the

development of this resource. The analytical results of groundwater samples (CGWB,

2001) indicate that by and large, the water is alkaline, moderately to highly mineralized

and excessively hard to brackish. The results are presented in Table 25.

Table 3.2: Test results of physicochemical parameters of ground water in Agra, 201

Source: Physico-chemical analysis of selected ground water samples of Agra city, India,

Environment Conservation Journal 2013, 14(3): 143-149, ISSN: 0972-3099.

3.3 Air Environment

The existing quality of the air environment serves as an index for assessing the pollution

load and the assimilative capacity of any region and forms an important tool for

planning project activity in the area. Primary data was collected for pre monsoon season

to understand the air quality in the region and to assess the impacts on air environment.

There are no data on ambient air quality in Agra Town, which is not subject to

monitoring by the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board (UPPCB) as there are no major

industries. Dry weather coupled with dusty roads, particulate matter is likely to be high,

particularly during summer months. Traffic is the only significant pollutant, so levels of

oxides of sulphur and nitrogen are likely to be well within the National Ambient Air

Quality Standards (NAAQS).




3.3.1 Climate and Meteorology

Climate and meteorology of a place can play an important role in the implementation of

any developmental project. Meteorology is also the key to understand local air quality,

as there is an essential relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersion

involving wind in the broadest sense of the term.

Agra has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate characterized by very hot

summers and cool winters.

• Summers (April to June) are hot and temperature reaches 43 0C

• Monsoons (June to September) rain showers are expected, with heavy rains in July

• Winters (October to March) are very cool and temperature can touch as low as 0.5

°C and are accompanied by thick fogs prohibiting travels due to poor visibility

Relative Humidity: During the southwest monsoon season the relative humidity is

high and after the withdrawal of the monsoon humidity decreases. Rainfall is about

679 cm per annum, which is suitable for growing crops. Most of the rainfall is received

during the monsoon. Humidity varies from 30 to 100%.

3.3.2 Wind Speed and Direction

Wind direction and speed are the most critical metrological parameters, as they

govern the dispersion of pollutants. Wind direction is reported as the direction from

which the wind blows and is based on surface observations. Over the course of a year,

wind usually blows in all directions, with varying frequencies. Certain directions occur

more frequently than others, which are known as the prevailing wind directions.

Winds are generally light to moderate in this area. It can be seen that the annual mean

wind speed varies from 0.8 to 14.2 km/h. The prominent wind direction is North and

North West.

3.3.3 Temperature

Agra has a monsoon-influenced humid subtropical climate characterized by very

hot summers and cool winters. Summers last from early April to late June and are

extremely hot, with temperatures reaching 43 °C (109 °F). The monsoon arrives in late

June and continues until the middle of September. Temperatures drop slightly, with

plenty of cloud cover, but with higher humidity. Temperatures rise again in October;




and the city then has a mild, dry winter season from late October to the middle of

March. The lowest temperature recorded is 0.5 °C (32.9 °F). Rainfall is about 80 cm to

100 cm per annum, which is suitable for growing crops. Most of the rainfall is received

during the monsoon. Humidity varies from 30 to 100%. The city receives no snow.

3.3.4 Precipitation

Precipitation plays a role in the mitigation of pollutants from air to land, and can

minimize or eliminate wind erosion. Normal Precipitation is received during monsoon

months i.e. June to September. The average annual precipitation is 723.8 mm. The

rainiest month is July and the driest month is November.

3.4 Noise Environment

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. 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 on-going

construction work around the area.

3.5 Ecological Resources

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.

3.5.1 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




3.5.2 Floral Community 1. Core Zone:

There was no vegetation within the core zone. Only a few species of Parthenium, Acacia

and Cynodon dactylon were seen. There is no presence of reserved or any forest in the

proposed site.

2. Buffer Zone:

No threatened, rare, endangered or endemic species were observed during the survey

in study area (10 km radius around the project area).

In 10 km radius around the project site:

No threatened, rare, endangered or endemic species were observed during the survey

in Buffer Zone (10 km radius around the project area).

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 (Delonix regia.), Safeda (Eucalyptus), Carrot grass (Parthenium sp.), Amaltas

(Cassia fistula), Dhatura (Datura sp.), Arandi (Ricinus communis), Ber (Zyziphus sp.),

Bougainvellia, Peepal (Ficus sp.), Shisham (Dalbergia sissoo), bottle palm, bottle brush,

etc. The prominent grass species is Cynodon dactylon. The list of plants recorded is given

in Table 3.7.

3.6 Socio Economic Environment

3.6.1 Socio-Economic Scenario

This section discusses the baseline scenario of the socio-economic environment in the

study area and anticipated impacts of the proposed project on the socio-economic

environment. The issues under focus in this chapter are demographic structure,

economic activity, education and literacy profile, land use and infrastructure resources.

The assessment attempts to predict and evaluate the future impacts of project upon

people, their physical and psychological health and well being, their economic facilities,

cultural heritage, lifestyle and other value system.

(a) Population and Demographic Pattern

The Agra district is situated in western U.P., between 27.11' degree Latitude North and

78.0' degree to 78.2' degree Longitute East. Its Altitude is 169 meters above sea level.

On the North it is bounded by Mathura District, On the South it is bounded by Dhaulpur

Economic activity and livelihood pattern

The relevance of economic activity and livelihood pattern is important in the context of

the study since one of the direct benefits of the proposed project is job opportunity and

high economic activity during the construction as well as operation phase. Depending

on the existing situation, one can predict the impact of the project activity on the

economy of the village and the region.

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 one primary school, primary health centre, post office and few

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. Primarily the Economy of the Agra

district is agriculture based while the economy base of Agra city is Small Scale

Industries, Commerce and Trade. Major crops are Wheat, Paddy, Bajra, Mustard, Patato

etc. About 40% of the total economy of Agra depends on industry (Directly or

indirectly). Over 7200 Small Scale Industrial Units are spared all over the district. Agra

city is famous for the Leather Goods, Handicrafts, Zari Zardozi, Marvel and Stone

carving & inlay work. Agra is also welknown foreats sweets (PETHA) and Snaks

(DALMOTH AND GAJAK).

Education

The study area has good educational facility. The urban part of the study area has very

good network of schools, colleges. There are several universities, technical colleges

spread over the area.




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 km, most of the

villages in the study area have medical facility available in one or the other.

Transport and Communication

Transport accessibility is one of the important factors required for the overall

development of the area. Transportation and communication facility needs to be

strengthened before any major development process can be established. Apart from

P&T services, transport is the main communication linkage in the study area. All most

the entire study area has access to good transport system including bus services.

Irrigation & Cropping Pattern

The district is not drought prone. There are a large number of wells for irrigation. Even

though the farmers have these facilities, yet they are largely dependent on the

monsoons for a successful crop.

Agro climatically, it is classified as rich Rice-Wheat zone. 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 canal.




CHAPTER 4 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT

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 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. (Source: Ground Water Scenario in India, CGWB, 2011).

4.1 Pollution Sources

Pollutants generated in the development of proposed project during both construction

and functional phases would be 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.

4.3 Assessment of Environmental Impacts during Development and Construction

Phase

4.3.1 Water Quality during the Construction Phase

The project site area falls in the drainage basin of Hindan and Yamuna rivers. These

water bodies were irrigation source for the agricultural activities before the

urbanization. It may be observed that the rainwater from the project site shall be

recharged to ground water by rain water harvesting pit. 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 cause

to 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 would be impacted marginally for very

short duration.

B. Impacts on Groundwater Quality

No hazardous chemical and material will be used in the development and construction

phase of a project. Debris and wastes generated during this phase will be collected and

disposed suitably. Therefore, possibility of contamination of ground water will be

negligible. Hence, no impact is anticipated on the ground water quality during the

construction phase.

4.3.2 Air Quality

A. Emission Sources during the Construction Phase

The potential sources of air emissions during the construction and development phase

of the project will be as follows:

• Dust from earth works (during site preparation)

• Emissions from Gasgenerator at site

• Emissions from the operation of construction equipment and machines




• Fugitive emissions from vehicles running to site

• Fugitive emissions during the unloading of material at the site

• Fugitive emissions during mixing of cement with other building materials during

development and construction activities

• Air emissions other than dust arise from combustion of hydrocarbons. The

pollutants of concerns are NO2, SO2, CO and particulate matter

B. Potential Impacts

The likely impacts on air environment during construction phase have been identified

in the form of “Impact Matrix” in Table 4.5.

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

C. Assessment of the Impacts Due to Dust Emissions

During the excavation of channels, foundations, unloading of construction material,

cement bags and mixing of cement with other building materials, fugitive dust

emissions may be emitted at construction site. It may be noted that these emissions

would be in the form of coarse particulate matter and will be settled down ultimately in

the closed vicinity of construction site. Therefore, no significant impact is anticipated

due to dust emission during development and construction phase.

D. Assessment of the Impact Due to Gas generators

Emissions from the Gas generator 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 Gas generators set power will be

used to operate construction equipment only if required.

Adequate height of stacks will be provided to the Gas generator sets as per guidelines of

MoEF (as per the Gazette of India Part II, Section 3, Sub-section (I) No. 318, dated

July 11, 2002, is given below, refer table no. 4.3) to facilitate the dispersion of flue

gases into the atmosphere

Table 4.4: Gas based generators set Stack height (Provided)

Nos. capacity of Gas based generators set (KVA)

Stack Height Provided (m)

1 500 X 4 KVA As per CPCB norms

4.3.3 Noise

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 Gas generator set.

• Generation of noise during concreting, hammering, etc.

All the above-mentioned sources at proposed development and construction activities

will be intermittent and would be experienced occasionally.

4.3.4 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 commercial Complex. Once the development and construction of

proposed complex 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 complex. Therefore,

overall positive impact is anticipated on economy of the area due to development and

construction activity of the proposed project.

4.3.5 Socio-Economic

During the development and construction of proposed project, about 300 to 350 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.

4.3.6 Construction Camp

During the development and construction phase most of the labour will be coming from

local areas, as proposed project will develop gradually in the time span of 2 to 3 year.

Therefore, no labour camp will be constructed to accommodate the laborers at the

project site. Suitable measures will be taken for their welfare at the site to mitigate

anticipated impacts.

4.4 Assessment of the Environmental Impacts during Post Construction Phase

4.4.1 Impact on Surface Water Resources

During the post construction phase, no water will be taken from water bodies in the

area. Further, adequate drainage pattern will be provided during development of site

for runoff movement. The sewage effluents generated from the project would be

collected through the sewer line network provided in the project. Collected sewage

effluents will be discharged into municipal sewers. Therefore, impact on the surface

water hydrology will be insignificant during the post construction phase.

4.4.2 Impact on Ground Water Resources

During post operational phase, the ultimate water requirement has been calculated as

706 KLD including domestic and other usages. The fresh water requirement will be met




through the ground water supply. The developers shall make internal distribution

network of water within the complex. Under ground water tank of required capacity

will be provided in the complex and then distributed through overhead tanks provided

on the building top by gravity flow in the houses of colony.

As gathered from secondary data, plenty of ground water sources in the area are

available. Further, rainwater harvesting will also recharge groundwater aquifers. As

groundwater abstraction is not proposed therefore no impact is anticipated on ground

water resources due to proposed project.

The proposed project will be maintained in post construction phase. Generation of solid

waste will be from the residential houses, commercial area, common facility and

landscaping areas during the post construction phase. The type of wastes expected to be

produced can be segregated into following possible categories:

• Waste from kitchen food, glass, metal, rubber etc

• Paper, packing, plastic bottles and polythene waste, etc

• Horticultural waste

For garbage, dump will be available for temporary collection of solid waste generated

from the proposed complex. Therefore, soil at the site and surrounding area will not be

affected by solid waste. This solid waste will be disposed by suitable disposal

techniques by the hired agency generated at the proposed complex project during post

construction phase. Hence, no significant impact is anticipated on soil during post

construction phase from proposed complex.

4.4.3 Impact on Surface Water Quality

The sewage effluents generated from the complex will be collected through the sewer

line network provided in scheme and the collected sewage effluents will be treated in

STP of the proposed project. Treated water will be recycled for various uses including

flushing, horticulture, and generators set cooling and other low end uses. The surplus

quantity would be supplied to the municipal sewer line. Therefore, anticipated impacts

on the surface water quality during post construction phase would be trivial in the

nature.




4.4.4 Impact on Ground Water Quality

The proposed complex will be well maintained and adequate measures will be taken for

the following:

• Proper solid waste management practices will be adopted and followed.

• Sewage effluent generated from colony will be collected through the sewage line

network and discharged into municipal sewers.

Therefore, possibility of ground water contamination will be negligible at proposed

project. Hence, no significant impacts are anticipated on the ground water quality

during post construction phase of proposed complex.

4.4.5 Impact on Air Emissions Sources

Increased traffic generation due to project is not going to cause significant increase in

atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in heat island formation. The

minor impacts of emissions from traffic will be neutralized by developing a thick green

belt along the periphery and internal road side.

During construction phase, dust emissions will be the main pollutants associated within

on-site roads (paved and unpaved), stockpiles and material handling. Regular water

sprinkling will be done and construction material will be transferred in trucks covered

with tarpaulin.

The other major source of pollution during operational phase will be emissions from

generator sets. To minimize the effect of emissions, adequate stack height as per CPCB

standards will be provided.

During the post construction phase, cars, scooter/motorcycle will be owned by the

residents as well visitors of the hotel and commercial areas. Vehicular emissions will be

major sources of air pollution on approach road, bypass road 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

• Meteorological conditions.




• Emission sources from automobile engines.

NO2 and SO2 from the vehicular emissions will be pollutants 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 and

below the stipulated National Ambient Air Quality Standards for NO2 (60µg/m3). At

higher wind speeds the dispersion will be faster. In the proposed complex, green belt

will be developed in the form of parks and along the internal roads, which will also

work as barrier for the movement of pollutants. Required capacity generator sets will

be provided at the residential areas and the basement of the hotels in case of power

failure. Heights of stacks attached to generator set will be as per the stipulated

guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to facilitate natural dispersion to

exhaust gases, discharged into the atmosphere form generator sets.

Impact on Noise

During the post construction phase, no major source of noise generation is anticipated.

Gas generator set of required capacities will be installed in the residential areas and the

basement of the hotels to provide the emergency supply during grid power failure for

all purpose. Acoustic enclosures will be fitted with generator set to control the noise

levels therefore noise generated from generator set will be mingled within the short

distance. Adequate personnel protective equipment (PPE) will be provided to be

personnel engaged in generator set room.

4.4.6 Socio-economic Impact

During post construction of proposed project, about more than 100 persons will get

direct employment opportunity to be engaged in management, maintenance and

security. As an estimate, during post construction phase, more than 100 persons will get

marginal employment opportunities from the residents of proposed complex. This will

help in improving the quality of life of economically weaker sections of the local area.

4.4.7 Impact on Aesthetics, Sensitive Targets

The surrounding vicinity shall be aesthetically improved as far as possible.




Impact Matrix

Various activities from the proposed project 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: 4.5 reveals the impact associated with each

activity of the project on various environmental parameters during construction and

function phase respectively before any mitigation measures are implanted.

CHAPTER 5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

5.1 Preamble

The Environmental Management Plan consists of the set of mitigation measures,

management, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation

and operation to eliminate adverse environmental impacts, offset them or reduce them

to acceptable levels. The present Environmental Management Plan addresses the

components of environmentally affected area during construction of the project and by

the different activities forming part of the processes.

In the process of project planning, an EMP needs to be formulated to ensure that

resources are used with maximum efficiency, waste minimized, residuals are treated

adequately and products are recovered and recycled to the extent possible. The overall

strategy should not cut down pollution control costs but should also result in savings in

the cost of operation.

Welfare Associations, formed by the participation of people in the proposed project, can

greatly assist in proper management of project. The committee can educate residential

complex stakeholders regarding rules and regulation formed by the committee. This can

help achieve sustainable development, increased standards of living and also maintain

ecological balance in the proposed project.

5.2 EMP during Construction Phase

The following aspects of construction activity require control measures during the

construction phase:

5.2.1 Site Preparation

The clearance of site will involve removal of some rain-fed vegetation and weeds. A very

little cutting or filling will be required as the site is fairly plain and devoid of any water

body or low laying area.

Construction of basement and foundation will require excavation of earth material,

which will be, 40, 407 cum. Top soil (fertile) (i.e. 1, 212 cum) will be stored separately

and reutilized for landscaping, green turfing and horticultural development. 100% of




total excavated earth will be reutilized into backfilling, leveling and road construction.

Figure 5.1 illustrates the management strategy of the excavated soil for the proposed

project.

Fig. 5.1: Excavated Soil Management Strategy.

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).

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. This is particularly applicable to the proposed project site as the

construction is to be completed in a phased manner.

Recycled aggregate will be used for filler application, and as sub-base for road

construction. 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.

Metal scrap from structural steel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work

shall be removed from the site by construction contractors. A significant portion of

wood scrap can be reused on site. Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber

insulation, roofing etc shall be sold to recyclers. Concrete & plastic wastes will be used

for road construction.

5.2.3 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, labeled, and disposed off as

required by the Hazardous Wastes Management and Handling Act Amendment Rules

(MoEF, 2003).

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.

5.2.4 Waste from Labor Settlements and Biomass

Construction activity would involve some workforce to stay at site. Local labours 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.

5.2.5 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.

5.2.6 Management of Environmental Parameters

A. Water Environment

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 site.

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 of 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 an 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.

5.3 Post Construction Environnent Management Plan

5.3.1 Air Quality Management

To mitigate the impact of pollutants from generator sets and vehicular traffic during the

operational phase of the site, the following measures are recommended for

implementation:




• Generator set air pollution control measures

• Vehicle emission controls and alternatives

• Greenbelt development.

As regards Gas generator sets emission are concerned, the most important pollutant

requiring further control is NOx and SOx and SPM respectively.

Greenbelt Development

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 5.1 indicates various species to be

used in greenbelt development:

5.3.2 Gas Based generator Set

For backup power in the commercial and common facilities area Gas generator sets are

proposed to be installed as per requirement.

• Total 5 kVA * 1nos. capacity to meet the total requirement.

• Gas generator set chamber shall be acoustically treated.

All Gas generator sets shall be provided chimney of adequate height as per norms of

MoEF/CPCB for controlling air emissions:




5.3.3 Traffic Movement

For vehicles, adequate space for smooth movement and parking shall be provided at the

proposed site to avoid any congestion and idling state emissions.

The project complex will have bell shaped entry and exit points. All the internal roads

are 9 m wide (including additional pathway). 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.

• Proposed project shall have parking as per norms open, basement as the case may

be.

• Internal Drive Way 9 m (right of way) wide for one way traffic circulation.

• Carpooling shall be encouraged to minimize the use of private cars and pick up and

drop system from running metro.

• Plantation shall be provided at roadsides and open spaces with the specific species

to attenuate dust and cyclonic winds.

• The ambient air quality shall be monitored regularly to ensure that the activities at

the site are not polluting the ambient environment.

As mentioned above that the standby Gas generator sets shall not be running

continuously, only be operated during interruption of electric supply. For good

dispersion of gaseous emission, all Gas generator sets shall be provided chimney of

adequate height, as per norms of MoEF/CPCB. Regarding spread of PM10 and PM2.5 into

the environment, stringent action shall be taken for the maintenance of roads and

roadside plantation.

5.3.4 Noise Management

No noisy sources except Gas generator sets and traffic movement are envisaged at the

proposed site. Following activities shall be taken to control the noise pollution:

• Gas generator sets shall be acoustically treated to attenuate the noise.

• Noise barriers in the form of tree envelope and greenbelt to attenuate noise

pollution shall be planted around the site, both sides of the roads and open places.




• Good metalled and wide roads shall be provided at the site and shall be well

maintained for smooth flow of traffic.

• Monitoring of noise levels shall be carried out regularly to ensure that noise level

does not exceed permissible standards.

Greenbelt Development: The following species can be used as in a greenbelt to serve

as noise breakers:

• Tectona grandis (Teak)

• Buteamono sperma (Palash)

• Leucanaleucocephala (Subabual)

• Dalbergia sissoo (Shisham)

5.3.5 Management of Water Environment

A. Fresh Water

The fresh water supply shall be received from the ground water. The quality of

supplied water shall be ensured by the competent authority. The establishment of

minimum standards of quality for public water supply is of fundamental importance in

achieving this objective. In an unlikely event of non-availability of water supply, water

will be brought using tankers. The wastage of water shall be minimized by a

combination of water saving devices and other domestic water conservation measures.

(I) 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.

• Re-circulation of swimming pool over spill after treatment.

• Awareness campaign for reduced water use by residents.

• Metered water consumption.

(II) 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.

Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water.

The rainwater collected from the rooftop, paved & green areas will be conveyed into the

rainwater harvesting system consisting of de-silting-cum-filter chamber and bore wells

for recharge into the groundwater. No demand will be met from the process.

It has been proposed to provide de-silting tanks and recharge wells for the

desired purpose. The rainwater will be diverted into the de-silting tank to remove

impurities and the outflow of the de-silting tank will be taken into the recharge well. De-

silting 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 de-silting 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 500 mm each consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. This system is

proposed for ground water

The run off potential is obtained as 209 m3/hr for which, 3 numbers of pits in different

areas shall be made at the project site.

5.4 Solid and Hazardous Wastes Management

Municipal Solid Waste (MSW)

The disposal of municipal solid waste shall comprise of following main activities:

Collection and Segregation of waste

• A door to door service through garbage chute collection system shall be provided

for collection of solid waste generated.




• Adequate number of colored bins (green and blue - separate for bio-degradable

and non bio-degradable) are proposed to be provided.

• Provision for temporary storage of solid waste only for 48 hours at site.


• Hazardous waste (filters) & e-waste will be stored at separate place and

handover to authorized dealers of CPCB.

• Litter bin will also be provided in open areas like commercial spaces, parks &

play grounds etc.

parameters and the same shall be provided in the project.

5.6 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 2 0C to 2.5 0C

lower than that for adjacent un-shaded areas.

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.

5.6.1 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.

5.6.2 Avenue Plantation

The following trees proposed to be planted in the proposed project:




• Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering.

• 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.

5.6.3 Plant species for Green Area

Selection of Plant species for Green belt development

The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as

climate, elevation and soil. The list of plant species, which can be suitably planted, and

having significant importance are provided in Table 5.2. 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 NO2 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.

CHAPTER 6

DISASTER MANAGEMENT

6.0 Introduction

Disaster has struck mankind from time immemorial. Disasters continue to strike

unabated, 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.

6.1 Disaster occurs due to

a) Emergencies on account of

• Fire

• Explosion

• Electrocution

b) Natural calamity on account of

• Earthquake

• Lightning

• Storm

• Epidemics

6.2 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;

• 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; and

• Plan in advance the relief operations that may be required or to be exercised

in disaster situations.

6.3 Identification and Assessment of Hazards

This stage is crucial to both on site and off site emergency planning and requires

systematically identifying what emergencies could arise. These should range from small

events, which can be dealt with 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

6.3.1 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 lay down by the

appropriate statutory authorities.

• Routes for escape during disaster are provided.

(iii) 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

6.4 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 personnel junior to him as site incident controller. The site incident

controller will take control of 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; and

• 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

6.4.1 Procedure for Treatment

On getting a signal of an emergency, the site incident controller officer will take control

of the situation. First aid parties will render first aid to casualties at the place of

occurrence and those requiring further treatment would be transported to the nearest

hospital by ambulance. The following phone numbers will be prominently displayed in

the proposed academic block:

• Fire Office

• Police Station

• Nearest Hospital

• District Administration

First Aid

It is necessary to give first aid to the persons injures in the disaster. Doctor and

paramedical staff will be made ready during emergency. There will be adequate first aid

facility available to meet the workload.




Repair Services

Repair of damaged parts of the buildings will be taken up. Essential public utility

services viz. water, electricity and sewerage system will be maintained in the case of a

disaster.

Fire Fighting Services

Required fire fighting arrangements will be provided in the proposed academic block.

All regulations for prevention of fire will be enforced. The following provisions will be

made like Automatic Fire Alarm and Detection System, Manual Fire Alarm and Sprinkler

System.

Following three teams will be created:

• Fire Fighting Team

• Rescue / Salvage Team

• Picket / Cordon Party

In case of emergency different teams will perform the following duties:

a) Duties of fire fighting team

• On hearing the fire alarm rush to the scene of fire.

• Try to rush the fire with the help of fire extinguishers, hose reels and hydrants

(internal / external)

• Act as per the directions of i/c Fire Officers at site

• The members of fire fighting teams shall enter the building in pairs

• The exit routes shall be marked

• Do not open the doors / windows, it will fan the fire

• Direct the jet of water at the seat of fire

• If the room is full with smoke, do not walk in it. Tie a wet cloth on mouth and

crawl towards the exit.

• Help in fire fighting to the Fire Brigade Personnel.

b) Duties of Rescue / Salvage Plan

• On hearing the fire alarm rush to the scene of fire

• Rescue the trapped person if any inside the building




• Salvage the important documents / materials and keep them away at a safer

place

• Always enter in pairs

• Mark the Exit points

• Help the fire fighting team after work of Rescue / Salvage is over.

c) Duties of Picket / Cordon Party

• On hearing the fire alarm reach the site of accident

• Cordon the area of Fire (Building involved in Fire) as some miscreants tries to

steal the material.

• Do not allow to crowd the persons who are not the members of Fire Frightening

/Salvage / Rescue party

• Keep vigil on all persons assembled at the site

d) Traffic Control

The free movement of the fire vehicle and ambulance at the scene of fire/emergency is

very important and therefore, the security personnel on the duty ensures that all the

roads at the scene of fire/emergency are kept clear and free from obstruction. Persons

arriving by motor transport at the scene of fire / emergency will not be allowed to park

their vehicle within 100 meters of fire.

Preventive Measures for Earthquake

An earthquake is a series of underground shock waves and movements on the earth’s

surface caused by natural processes writhing the earth’s crust.

• The proposed building lies in Seismic Zone-III. The proposed building will be

seismically resistant and designed as per the following IS Code:
