1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to theproposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities details of the existing landusedisturbance to the local ecology).

Table 4: Infrastructure in different directions of the projectDirection FacilitiesEast UP Power corporation, Shalimar Park

North Lucknow High Court, Indira GandhiPratishthan, Pic up Bhawan Road

West Fairfield By Marriot Lucknow

South Tata Consultancy Services

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

to the proposed site, as the Lucknow Development Authority has developed all the facilities such as

connectivity, roads, open space, drainage, sewer and water supply etc. keeping in view the land use

as per proposed Master Plan 2031.

Anticipated Negative Impacts: All construction activities will be confined within the project area.

There will be no physical changes outside the project boundary. Development and Construction of

proposed project will be done as per applicable norms/byelaws. Hence, negative impacts on adjacent

existing facilities would be minimal, if any.

Anticipated Positive Impacts: There will not be any disturbance to the local ecology as the selected

site for the construction is predefined with the commercial land, use as per Lucknow Master Plan

2031. The land is already in possession of the applicant organization. Moreover, landscaping with

local plant species in post construction phase will restore the existing ecological condition in near

future. So there will be no permanent adverse impact on existing ecological conditions due to

proposed project.

About 551.0 m2 area will be developed as dedicated soft green and plantation area and will have

positive impact on the surrounding.

Proposed project will require manpower during construction phase and operation phase thereby

creating job opportunities and improving the socio-economic conditions of the area.

No fauna species are present in the area. Care will be taken to minimize the disturbance to the local

ecology.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.dasindia.org

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).There will be some land disturbance due to the upcoming project as the project will involvesite preperation, grading and construction of impervious surfaces.Following mitigation measures will be used to mitigate the same:

Construction planning will be done to minimize exposed soil during times of the year whenthe potential for erosion is high, for example during rains.

Site will be stabilized and erosion control measures will be adopted during any pause inconstruction.

Suppression measures, such as promptly watering exposed area will be taken in accountwhen visible dust is observed.

Stockpiles will be located with the slope not greater than 2:1 (horizontal to vertical).

Size and number of stockpiles will be kept minimum and will be located away from drainageline.

Dug pits will be prepared around the construction area to minimize the soil run off from theproject area.

Soil Type:

Type of soil: Sandy Loam

There will be no land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence or instability. The area is

fairly plain and subsoil strata are alluviums deposited by water courses, geologically the litho

log sections show dominant of sand percentage.

Slope Analysis:

The topography of the site area is mostly flat with slope tending towards Gomti River which

is 4.5 km south-west of the project site. The highest elevation at site is 122 above MSL and

the lowest elevation is 121 above MSL. In post construction phase the direction of the

natural drainage will be maintained.

Erosion / Subsidence: Project will provide ample green space. Therefore, it will not cause any soil erosion,

subsidence or instability problems.

Seismicity:According to the Indian Standard Seismic Zoning Map, the area under study falls in Zone-III (refer Figure 5). Suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical directions will beadopted while designing the structures.

Fig. 5: Map Showing Seismic Zones in India, 2002

1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contourmap showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site).

The area is fairly plain and LDA has constructed system of drains. Contour map shows the Elevation

levels of proposed site as 122 m and drainage flow is towards Gomti River, south of the project site.

The project will not impact any drainage pattern in the vicinity. Therefore, there will be no alteration

of natural Drainage System, except the runoff from the site will increase during rains due to increase

in paved area.

The runoff generated from roof top area will be used for ground water recharging through rain water

harvesting system, whereas the runoff collected from open, green and paved areas will be discharged

into municipal storm water drains.

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 materialsfrom outside the site etc).

It is estimated that approximately 40,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated during initialconstruction phase for foundations & 2 layer basement. The top soil excavated during construction

Source of water: Municipal water tankers will be the primary source of water requirement

during construction phase.

Construction Debris (Bricks, Cement, Concrete and Mortar) generated will be reused in road

construction, backfilling and leveling, spare debris (if any) will be disposed off as per the

norms.

Ready mix concrete will be used.

The fertile top soil will be reused for horticultural purpose.

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

Proper Sanitary facilities and wash area will be provided and good hygienic conditions will

be maintained throughout the construction phase.

Septic tank with soak pit or mobile toilets with municipal sewer shall be provided to take care

of waste water generated from site (labor camps and site office)

Domestic solid waste generated will be managed as per MSW (M & H) Rule, 2016.

Litter bins will be provided in the open area.

1.8 Will the low-lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and wetlandsare getting modified from the proposed activity).

Site is fairly plain and already developed by LDA with an altitude 122 m above mean sea level.

Drainage pattern and slope of proposed site is toward south of site and ultimately meets Gomti River.

No wetland or low lying area within project site.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.dasindia.org

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Givequantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the constructionlabour and the means of disposal)

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

Excavated materials from earthworks (e.g. cuttings, basement excavation, foundation etc),

General construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and empty

cement bags);

Hazardous wastes generated by general site practices and paint and thinner residues, etc.

Municipal wastes generated by site workers. Most of the construction waste will be reused in

road construction and surplus will be sold to recyclers.

Excavated Materials from Earthworks

It is estimated that approx.40,000 m3 of earth material will be excavated during initial construction

for foundations & basement etc. Maximum percentage of excavated material will be re-used within

premises for different purposes. The excess earth would only be the construction wastes and will not

cause any health hazards.

Municipal Waste & Other wasteMunicipal wastes comprise kitchen wastes, packaging and waste paper. Generation rate of solid

waste from labour colony will vary from place to place due to habits and living condition.

Approximately 0.25Kg/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 or mobile toilets with STP/ municipal sewer.

Some amount of debris, cuttings and construction materials may be observed at construction site.

Details of construction waste are discussed in Table 5. 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 and disposed off

accordingly. The Impact on soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in nature.

collected from Paved and Green area will percolate naturally in to ground. 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 40 mm/hr. The intensity of

precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 40 mm/hr for the project.

Note: 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.

2.8 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project on therunoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post constructionphase on a long-term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging inany way?

Since this is a mix use project, the paved area will increase thus the land surface will change thereby

increasing the run off during rains. Maximum storm rainfall of 40 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.

There will be change in the surface run off coefficient in the pre construction phase and post

construction phase. The surface run off will be captured and used for harvesting so that the ground

water level is consistent. The storm water drains will be cleaned in the pre-monsoon phase so that the

water logging will be avoided.

During the post-construction phase, 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.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of groundwater; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtainedfrom competent authority, if any).

Fresh water shall be supplied through Municipal water supply. The groundwater will be augmented

through proposed rainwater harvesting. The rain water collected from Roof top will be sent for

ground water recharging through 2 nos. of RWH pits. 134 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.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.dasindia.org

2.10 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activitiespolluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid theadverse impacts).

Effective measures will be adapted to reduce the storm water run-off from the construction site- Ensuring vehicles stick to the access track.

Cleaning all mud and dirt deposited on roads from construction-related activities. Excavation work will not be carried out during monsoon season.

Constructing a fence around the site to trap sediment whilst allowing water to flow through. Diverting up-slope water with turf and not mixing mortar in locations that will drain into

storm water system.

Preventing wastewater from brick cutting activities and stockpiles entering the storm watersystem.

Construction material will be stored in temporary shed at the earmarked place and will becovered ensuring that no leachate or spoilage of land occurs.

Curing water will be sprayed and, after liberal curing, all concrete structures will be paintedwith curing compound & covered with gunny bags, then the water will be sprayed.

Plantation of trees will start from construction phase. No runoff will be disposed outside the project boundary.

2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoidflooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layoutindication contour levels).

Since the existing topography is congenial 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. The drain sizes and sections will be designed in such a way that they can take the load of the

peak rainfall period. Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drains, catch basins and seepage

pits at regular intervals for rain water harvestings and ground water recharging. All the surface drains

will be covered by gratings and proper land gradient will be provided so that water logging inside the

site does not occur. Collected rain water will be recharge into ground water. The storm rainfall of 40

mm/hr. has been considered for designing the storm water drainage system.

A detailed storm water management plan will be developed which considers the source of storm

water. The plan incorporates the best management practices which include the following:

Regular inspection and cleaning of storm water drains.

Cover waste storage area.

Avoid excavation during monsoon season.

2.12 Will the deployment of construction labourers particularly in the peak period lead tounsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).

www.dasindia.org

The workers from nearby localities and villages will be employed during construction. There will

be no stagnant water at site, as the run-off from the relevant areas will be systematically drained.

The civil contractor will be made responsible for site sanitation and will be bound by the

management to adhere to healthy level of sanitation. Temporary septic-tank followed by soak-pit

will be constructed for effluent treatment. All sanitary and hygienic measures will be provided and

maintained through out the construction phase such as:

• Provision of separate toilets for the construction workers.

• Temporary septic-tank followed by soak-pit will be provided for effluent treatment.

2.13 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).

During the construction phase, on-site sanitation facilities will be provided (Septic tanks and soak

pits). During the operational phase, the waste water generated from residential complex (i.e.61 KLD)

will be treated in the STP of 80 KLD. Out of total amount waste water, 27 KLD shall be treated up-to

tertiary level and recycled for various low end uses including toilet flushing, horticulture and other

low end uses. Spare secondary treated wastewater (34 KLD in non monsoon and 37 KLD during

monsoons) shall be discharged into municipal sewer line.

2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system, if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or any otheruse.

Dual Plumbing will be provided for utilization of recycled water for flushing of toilets. Differentcolor pipes will be used for this purpose.

3.0 VEGETATION3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem

with its unique features, if any).

No, the project will not pose any threat to the biodiversity of the locality. The project site was an

open agricultural land. As the project site do not contain any water body, therefore, no scope of

disturbance to the aquatic flora will be involved. Moreover, quite a number of trees will be planted.

The species will be predominantly native in nature so that they merge with the local ecosystem. Flora

and fauna of the study area is mentioned in section 3 of conceptual plan.

All the waste (liquid/solid/gases) will be managed onsite as per Rules. The impact due to proposed

project will be minimal.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide adetailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.dasindia.org

There are no significant vegetation, except some ground cover within the site thus no extensive

clearance or modification of vegetation.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important sitefeatures? (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water bodies etcalong with a layout plan to an appropriate scale).

Due care will be taken to protect the important site features:

Tree plantation will be done to protect the site features such as topsoil erosion, ground water

attenuation and avoiding contamination by leachate.

The excavated soil will be stored at earmarked places protected from contamination and from

polluting the existing features and will be used for surface leveling and for creation of

landscaped areas.

Adequate measures will be taken to minimize the likely impacts of the proposed project on the

surrounding as well as the project site itself and documented in the Environmental Management Plan.

General principles in greenbelt design considered for this study area:

Type of pollution likely air, noise, and water and land pollution generated from the activities at

the site.

Agro-climatic zone and sub-zone where the greenbelt is located

Water quantity and quality available in the area

Soil quality in the area.

Total no. of trees required: 1 Tree/80sqm of open area=3705.07/80= 46

Proposed: 60Trees

Total soft green area proposed for project is 551.0 m2 (10.13% of plot area). 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 & setback 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 surfaces, creates different airflow patterns and

can be used to direct or divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference. Shade

created by trees and the effects of grass and shrubs reduce air temperature adjoining the building and

provide evaporative cooling. A study shows that the ambient air under a tree is 20C to 2.50C lower

than that for adjacent un-shaded areas.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Parks & Avenue Plantation

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.

The plants should exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to be selected for plantation.

a. Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering.

b. Trees with branching at 10 feet and above.

c. 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 criteria are based on pollution mitigation capacity (including Particulate

matter), large leaf surface area, deep root system and less litter fall. Faster growing trees with lighter

canopy will be planted alternatively with relatively slow growing trees with wider canopy. Trees of

will be planted at 4.5 m intervals, 2.5 m away from the road curbing as per CPCB guidelines. Trees

will be planted along the periphery and roadside of the project. The list of plant species, which can be

suitably planted, and having significant importance are provided in Table-10.

During post construction phase, not much noise is anticipated, on account of project being a mix use

complex. However, noise generated due to vehicular movement, operation and maintenance will be

mitigated by adopting following measures.

DG set will be silent type with anti vibration pads.

Administrative control by display of slogans and sinages

Green belt/plantation along the internal roads will also work as noise barriers.

5.6 What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels & vibration in &ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.

Impacts on Air Quality due to DG Sets and construction equipments: Noise will be emitted during construction due to operation of construction machinery like

batching plant, concrete pumps, tower cranes, DG set, Air compressors etc.

Impact on onsite workers are expected to be highest. One of the major sources of noise during

operational phase will also be the diesel based generator.

Impacts on ambient air during operation phase would be due to emissions from the stacks

attached to stand by DG sets.

Mitigation Measures Workers shall be provided with PPE such as ear muffs, helmets, anti-vibration boots etc.

DG sets will comply with the applicable emission norm.

Adequate stack height for DG sets will be provided as per norms.

*Source: www.sunguardglass.com

9.4 What passive solar architectural features are being used in the building? Illustrate theapplications made in the proposed project.

Building design and envelope may be optimized through selection of appropriate wall and

roof construction and through adoption of solar passive measures after studying the sun path analysis

to provide shading devices for windows and roof which would reduce energy demand.

Components of the solar architectural features in the proposed building:

• Adequate natural cross-ventilation.

• Sufficient day-lighting with direct heat gains

• Adequate shading devices

• Natural cross ventilation: There will be adequate open able windows and doors in the living

spaces, kitchens & bathrooms.

• Window: The major expanse of windows in a passive solar energy structure will be south facing

solar windows. Whole design planning includes following considerations: the impact of heat

gain in the summer; views; natural lighting; and privacy requirements in determining the

placement and size of windows in the structure. For the most part, window areas on East


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.dasindia.org

and West facing walls will be kept as small and as minimal as will be consistent with

interior requirements.

Shading: South facing glass can be a source of overheating during summer months.

The potential for overheating will be controlled by roof over carefully designed to shade the

glass during the summer (sun higher in the sky) but not block sunlight during the winter (lower in the

sky).

9.5 Does the layout of streets & buildings maximize the potential for solar energy devices? Haveyou considered the use of street lighting, emergency lighting and solar hot water systems foruse in the building complex? Substantiate with details.

Yes, the layout of streets & buildings has been designed to maximize the potential for solar

energy. Solar energy will be used for street lighting. 50% of street lights will be powered by solar

lighting. Also automatic light sensors will be installed to facilitate automatic off-on action resulting

in significant amount of energy saving. Projections, shades, façade elements will reduce the summer

heating of the building. Green areas and open spaces will achieve a reduction in heating in summer.

9.6 Is shading effectively used to reduce cooling/heating loads? What principles have been used tomaximize the shading of Walls on the East and the West and the Roof? How much energysaving has been effected?

Shading options wherever feasible will be used for energy saving. Roofs will be painted with

reflective, aluminum based paints with solar reflectance ranging from 0.3-0.6. This will result in less

absorption of sunlight causing 40% back reflection and less heating of building structures during

summer season. This will effectively reduce the heat load of the building envelope. Projections,

shades and façade elements will reduce the summer heating of the building. Green areas and open

spaces will achieve a reduction in heating in summer.

9.7 Do the structures use energy-efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems?

Provide technical details. Provide details of the transformers and motor efficiencies, lighting

intensity and air-conditioning load assumptions? Are you using CFC and HCFC free chillers?

Provide specifications.

Suitable energy optimization will be adopted during the calculation of energy load of the proposed

project. Compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) will be used in place of incandescent and halogen lamps

in all common areas and basement parking.

Energy Efficient Features:

Maximum utilization of natural light.


---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

www.dasindia.org

CFL& T-5 lighting fixtures in the common areas and Truelite fluorescent lamps inbasements.

Use of solar lights partly in open areas and landscaped area. Appropriate thermal insulation in walls and roofs to reduce heat gain and loss.

Glazing glass: to keep the U value as per ECBC. External glazing will be below 40% of the total vertical Surface as per ECBC.

9.8 What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the microclimates? Provide a self-assessment on the likely impacts of the proposed construction on creation of heat island &inversion effects?

Heat emission from the proposed project can be from the following sources:• Heat absorbed and radiated from the paved and concrete structures.

• Increased population for a particular stretch of land.

Any building activity would alter the microclimate of a site and it is inevitable that wind patterns and

thermal gain patterns on a site would be changed. But the proposed building has been carefully

designed to modify the microclimate so as to improve overall thermal comfort and reduce energy

consumption. Hard paving onsite has been reduced to the extent possible to reduce the heat island

effects (surface). The project will have good tree plantation which will further help to reduce the heat

island effect.

To reduce the heat load reflective insulated glass shall be used in fenestrations to cut on heat loads

and subsequently capital and operating cost of air conditioning.

Shade giving trees will be planted near the east and west side windows which will affect the

microclimate and will provide cooling effect in summers.

The building will use energy efficient and environmental friendly designs that will control

formulation of heat island effect. There will also be sufficient green cover at the site to reduce

formation of heat island.

9.9 What are the thermal characteristics of the building envelope? (a) Roof; (b) external walls; and(c) fenestration? Give details of the material used and the U-values or the R-values of theindividual components.

The U-values of the roof, external wall and fenestration of the building will meet the requirements asspecified in the Energy

Heat transfer co-efficient (in Btu/hr. sq.ft.Deg F) are as under:

• Exposed brick wall: 0.07• Shaded slab (non insulated): 0.40• Insulated shaded slab: 0.12• Ceiling (non insulated): 0.48• Ceiling (insulated): 0.12• Floor (insulated): 0.12• Floor (non insulated): 0.48

9.10 What precautions & safety measures are proposed against fire hazards? Furnish details ofemergency plans.

Adequate fire protection facilities will be installed including fire detectors, fire alarm and fire

fighting system to guard the building against fires. All fire protection facilities are designed as per the

latest National Building Code. The approvals in this regard have been obtained.

Fire Fighting System

The basic system for Fire Fighting shall be designed as per the provisions of the National Building

Code

Overhead water storage tank of capacity 25 KL will be proposed to made. Water from thesereserve tanks will be drawn by electrically driven fire pump of capacity 900 LPM andsupplied into hydrant ring main and wet riser system. The system will be kept pressurized atall times in order to ensure instant availability of water at all points.

Fire SafetyThe building materials shall be of appropriate fire resistance standard. Further, design of building

will be as per NBC, 2005, which include following provisions:

The electrical systems shall be provided with automatic circuit breakers activated by the rise

of current as well as activated by over current.

Fire detection systems

Manual operated Fire Alarm systems at appropriate places

Double door and Double stairs in building will be provided

Bell Mouth traffic entry/exit through service road

Access for fireman

Provision of Mechanical ventilation for air conditioned room will be made.

Adequate fire fighting requirement shall be taken into account while designing the electrical

distribution system

Sprinkler system The Basements will be equipped with sprinkler system of fire fighting and the sprinkler heads

shall be distributed as per the National Building Code. The sprinkler pump will be suitable for

automatic operation when there is a drop of pressure in the system. Sprinklers shall be

provided throughout the basement area with separate sprinkler risers as required. All the

risers shall be provided with installation control valves and a hydraulic alarm. An electrical

sensor flow switch will be provided on each floor and connected to the fire control panel in

the security room, to identify the affected floor immediately.

The building will conform to the provisions of National Building Code as well as the

provisions of State Fire Safety by Laws and will be provided with adequate arrangement to

overcome fuel hazards to the satisfaction of authority.

9.11 If you are using glass as wall material provides details and specifications including emissivityand thermal characteristics.

Glass will not be used as wall material except in windows as it is a housing project.

9.12 What is the rate of air infiltration into the building? Provide details of how you are mitigatingthe effects of infiltration.

The project will not be centrally air-conditioned. Hence, air infiltration will not cause any energy loss

or undue load as would have been possible in case of air-conditioned units. Besides this, adequate

provisions will be made to mitigate the effects of air infiltration.

Infiltration has been minimized through the use of EPDM gaskets in structural glazing and weather

seals in the case of windows.

9.13 To what extent the non-conventional energy technologies are utilized in the overall energyconsumption? Provide details of the renewable energy technologies used.

Solar Energy will be used for external lighting as far as possible and economical viable. No other

technologies are viable in the case. Solar Water Heating Systems may be used, if possible. There is

no wind energy available nearby. As regards to biogas, it is financial not viable for as the organic

waste generated isn’t too high.

10. Environment Management Plan

The Environment Management Plan would consist of all mitigation measures for each item-

wise activity to be undertaken during the construction, operation and the entire life cycle to

minimize adverse environmental impacts as a result of the activities of the project. It would also

delineate the environmental monitoring plan for compliance of various environmental regulations. It

will state the steps to be taken in case of emergency such as accidents at the site including fire.

Environment Management Plan is discussed in Conceptual Plan.
