2.2 Type of project

The proposed project is a Hospital cum Medical campus project in the

name of "Sreevalsam Inst itute of Medical Sciences".

The proposed project is an expansion of building construction project. The

exist ing project was construct buildings with buil t-up area of 53,889.72

sqm and the addit ional construction of 85,047.78 sqm wil l be construct

within the exist ing campus.



2.3 Need for the project

Due to the rapid development in Kerala there are lots of resident ial,

commercial and off ice building construction projects are introduced and

thereby the f loat ing of populat ion from their nat ive place to their working

place / urban area is going on. Due to the high rate of populat ion shif t ing

there is an increase in burden on the infrastructure and medical faci l it ies

of an area. To accommodate the same the medical hospital with high

patient management capacity with quality services is must in every

districts of the State. In order to overcome this problem, M/s Sreevalsam

Educational Trust decide the expansion of their existing hospital cum

medical college project in Edappal Vil lage, Ponnani Taluk, Malappuram

Distr ict, Kerala.

There is an urgent requirement for the construction of hospital cum

medical col lege with associated activit ies in the area as per the faci lit ies

to be provided to the nearby people to facil itate on easy and quick

medical faci l it ies and thereby the hospital/healthcare and medical

educat ional services in a very easy way as per the needs.

2.5 Geology

2.5.1 Regional Geology

From the exposure pattern of the rock types, the district can be divided

into two geological belts: ( i) Charnockite group of rocks covering a major

part and (i i) Migmatite Complex towards the east. Wayanad group is

represented by small bodies of metaultramafites (tal-tremolite schist, talc-

pyroxene-garnet schist, banded magnetite quartzite) and high-grade

schist and gneiss (hornblende-bioti te schist and gneiss+garnet with

amphiboli te band) which extends into Tamil Nadu where it is known as

Sathyamangalam Group. The rocks of Peninsular Gneissic Complex,

represented by granite gneiss and hornblende-biot ite gneiss, form the

next younger sequence. They have a very limited distribut ion near the

eastern boundary. They have a very l imited

distribut ion near the eastern boundary, extending into the adjacent district

where they are known as Bhawani Group. A l inear band of granite gneiss

NE of Perinthalmanna and a large body of hornblende-bioti te gneiss east

of Manjeri are prominent units. Charnockit Group includes charnockite /

charnockite gneiss, having the largest areal distr ibut ion, fol lowed in

decreasing order of abundance by banded magnetite quartzite, pyroxene

granulite, amphibolite/hornblende granul ite and pyroxenite, which occur

as concordant as well as discordant bands, lenses, layers and enclaves

both within charnockite as well as within gneisses of Migmatite Complex.

The Migmatite Complex is represented by biot ite-hornblende gneiss (or

hornblende-biot ite gneiss) and quartzo-feldspathic gneiss/garnet-bioti te

gneiss with enclaves of garnet-sil l imanite gneiss + graphite distr ibuted

mostly in the central and northeastern part. Pegmatite and quartz veins

constitute the acid intrusives, whereas gabbro and dolerite are basic

intrusives. Near the coast, isolated cappings of Neogene Warkal l i

sediments comprising grit and clay beds are noticed. Laterit isat ion is

widespread, at places attaining a thickness of more than 10m. Extensive

plateaus with later ite ‘mesas’ are common in the area. Angadipuram (west



of Perinthalmanna), the type locality of later ite falls in this district.

Quaternary unconsolidated sediments are restricted to the coastal plain.

They have been classif ied into dif ferent morpho-stratigraphic units based

on their l i thic content and environment of formation. Guruvayur Formation

(palaeo-marine), Periyar Formation (f luvial), Viyyam Formation (f luvio-

marine) and Kadappuram Formation (marine).

& Geology Department, Govt. of Kerala).

2.5.2 Local Geology

The local geology belongs to the regional geology. The site is exist ing

hospital cum institutional buildings with coconut t rees.

2.6 Topography

This is an exist ing hospital cum medical col lege project and there are

exist ing buildings with nat ive tree species of coconut plants with other

species of shrub, herbs, grass in that area. Some of the buildings are

under construction and some of the buildings are to be proposed. As per

the topographical contour survey map, the highest level is 100 m in the

northern direct ion and lowest elevation is 88 m in the southern direction.

The drainage of the site area is towards north to south direct ion. The

topographical contour map of the project site is provided at Figure 2.7.

Page 3 - 22


As per the Ground Water information Booklet, CGWB, the proposed

project is categorized as 'Safe' zone and hence the ground water

available in the region is ensure and to use of domestic purposes.

3.7.3.3 Protocols for Water sampling methodology

Sampling Methodolgy:

• Sampling of water was done as per CPCB/NABL guidel ines.

• CPCB guidel ines followed for locat ion identif icat ion

The guidelines / protocols fol lowed in the water sample collection,

preservation & transporation is discussed below :-

Surface Water Sampling

• Ensuring the water samples collected from well-mixed section of the

water body 30 cm. below the water surface using a water sampler.

(Nishkin type).

• DO is determined in a sample collected in a DO bott le. The DO in the

sample was f ixed immediately after collect ion, f ixing chemical reagents.

DO concentrat ion was then determined in the laboratory.

Ground Water Sampling

• Samples for groundwater qual ity monitoring was collected from the

following types of wel l:

� Open dug wel l

• The open dug well, which is in use in the site considered as water

quality monitoring station.

• The weighted sample bott le was used to collect sample from an open

well about 30 cm below the surface of the water.

• For bacteriological samples, when collected from tube-wells/hand

pump, the spout/outlet of the pump was steri l ized under f lame by spir it

lamp before collect ion of sample in container.

Sample Labelling Guidelines:-

The label of the sample container was properly, preferably attached

with a water-proof label. Information on the sample container includes:

• Sample code number ( identifying locat ion)



Page 3 - 23

• Date and time of sampling

• Source and type of sample

• Pre-treatment or preservat ion carried out on the sample

• Any special notes for the analyst

• Sampler’s name

Sample Preservation and Transport

• The samples collected for BOD and bacteriological analyses should be

stored at a temperature below 4oC and in the dark as soon as possible

after sampling. In the f ield this usually means placing them in an

insulated cool box together with ice or cold packs.

• Once the samples were collected and brought to the laboratory,

samples were transferred to a refrigerator. Samples collected for

chemical oxygen demand (COD) analysis were analyzed on the day of

collection, after preserving below pH2 by addit ion of concentrated

sulphuric acid.

• The samples which were to be analyzed for the presence of metals,

were acidif ied to below pH2 with concentrated nitr ic acid.

• The samples were transported to concened laboratory as soonas

possible, preferably within 48 hours.

• The analysis of bacteriological samples were analysed within 24 hours

of col lection.

The water sampling locat ions (ground water & surface water) are listed in

Table 3.14 & Table 3.15. The water sampling location map is given in

The present project is an expansion of existing hospital cum medical

college campus. The construction of new buildings are within the exist ing

plot area.

The excavation of earthwork wil l be done for the foundation of structures.

The total excavated of earth is 7,300 cum. The top soi l (730 cum) which is

fert i le wil l be kept at site for landscaping work. Part of the excavated soi l

wi ll be used for back f i l l ing work (4,380 cum) for site level ing and the

remaining quantity of 2190 cum will be used for internal road construct ion

work.

3.8 Ecological Environment

3.8.1 Introduction

The construction activity affects the terrestrial ecological environment.

Therefore, a primary survey on the ecological assessment of the site

(f lora and fauna) is required to be carr ied out.

3.8.2 Methodology

Flora

The study on the f loral assessment for the proposed project act ivity was

based on extensive f ield survey of the area.

The Qualitat ive Assessment was done by transect method covering the

entire area in to Grids of 90m x 90m. From the total grids, 12 grids were

selected at random and, the density, dominance and frequency were

calculated by using quadrate method. The quadrate method includes lying

down of a square sample plot of suitable size for detailed analysis of

vegetat ion. It may be a single sample plot or may be divided into several

subplots. Quadrates of 20m x 20m, 5m x5m and 1m x1m were used for

trees, shrubs and herbaceous communities respectively.

Co-existence and competit ion amongst various species are affected

directly by the number of individuals in the community. Therefore,

knowing the quantitat ive structure of the community becomes essential.

Various diversity indices including Shannon-Weaver (1963) Index of

Diversity give a comparat ive and quantitative picture of the community

exist ing in the study area.

3.8.3 Findings

Flora

Analysis of the f lora revealed that, in the proposed project site there are

90 plant species fal l ing under 48 plant families. Angiosperms forms 86

species with 25 species of trees including saplings, 18 species of shrubs,

28 species of herbs and 15 species of cl imbers. There are four

Pteridophytes (ferns) fal l ing under three famil ies. The Site has 90 species

of plants. I t consists of:

Trees : 25 species

Tree saplings : 18 species

3.8.4 Interpretation of Ecological Assessment

Flora

The most dominant plant family is Compositae with 8 plant species

followed by Leguminosae, Moraceae Euphorbiaceae, and Malvaceae. One

tree species namely Artocarpus hirsutus is endemic to Southern Western

Ghats.

Fauna

Regarding the conservat ion status of the fauna, none of the animal

species ident if ied from the site belonged to the threatened categories

identif ied by the International Union for Conservation of the Nature and

Natural Resources (IUCN). Most of them are common and widely

distributed and the range of occurrence extended to wide geographical

area. One species of butterf ly namely Southern Birdwing (Troides minos)

and one species of amphibian viz. Rhacophorus malabaricus reported

f rom the site are endemic to W. Ghats.

The present project is an expansion of exist ing hospital cum medical

college campus. The construct ion of new buildings are within the existing

plot area. Therefore, the proposed construct ion act iv ity wi ll have minimal

impact on the local f loral and faunal species. Due to the construct ion

act iv ity, there wil l be minimal loss of habitat to faunal species specially to

avifauna.

college campus and the construction of new buildings are within the

exist ing plot area.

The construction act iv ity has long term irreverisble impact on local,

sociological, cultural and economical situat ion. In order to evaluate socio-

economical impact of the project, an extensive study on the existing

socio-economic status is carr ied out. Since the project area is in pr ivate

land and devoid of any habitat ion, therefore, there is no displacment of

3.9.4 Edappal Gama Panchayath

The Edappal Gama Panchayath came in to exist in 1956. It is a town in

Malappuram district, Kerala state, India. Edappal is at a junction of two

roads Thrissur-Kutt ippuram and Palakkad-Ponnani state highways located

45 km from Malappuram.Edappal l ies in two panchayaths The fi rst notable

public inst i tut ion in Edapal was the Government High School (now higher

secondary school). The school was established in 1957 when the f irst

Communist ministry of EMS Namboodiripad had quickly sanct ioned 65

high schools in the then educat ionally backward Malabar region. Though

the high school was sanctioned, there was no suff icient fund or

infrastructure in order to start the high school. Hence the Namboothiris of

3.9.20 Interpretation of present socio-economic status of the area

The density of population in the buffer zone is about 1465 persons per

sq km. The project area is in a rural vi l lage.

Majority of the population in the study area are engaged in agriculture and

cult ivation. There is no major industry in the area. The proposed project is

l ikely to generate direct and indirect employment. Economic growth is

expected in the area due to construction boom and al lied industry like

transport, mini hotels and restaurants and enhanced commercial activit ies

(markets, shops, real estate etc.).

Also, the healthcare faci l it ies wil l be increase due to the sett ing up of

medical col lege in the vic inity.

4.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Introduction

The previous chapter dealt with the Descript ion of the Environment

surrounding the project area.



plot area. Therefore, the proposed construction activity will have minimal

impacts on the dif ferent facets of the environment.

The ambient air quality and ambient noise level of the core zone and

buffer zone is within the permissible standards. The water quality

assessment (ground water and surface water) is sat isfactory. The

proposed construction act ivity wil l not disturb the ground water quality.

The land use land cover of the buffer zone is predominantly with

plantations. There is some endemic f loral & faunal species. There are no

species belonging to Rare, Endangered and Threatened (RET) species.

The project area is in a rural area and the nearest town (urban area) is

Edappal which is located at about 2 km towards north direction from the

project s ite.

4.1.1 Areas for identification of Environmental aspects and impacts.

Proposed project wil l be constructed and developed gradually in the t ime

span of 5 years (approx.). The overall project wil l have two phases i.e.

construction phase and operat ion phase. In construction phase, basic

infrastructure faci l it ies l ike internal roads, water supply, sewerage

system, storm water drainage, street l ight ing, construction of dif ferent

buildings, up-gradat ion of sewage treatment plant, eff luent treatment

plant, up-gradation of solid waste disposal & treatment arrangement

system, rain water harvest ing systems etc. wil l be developed.

The proposed project is an expansion of exist ing hospital cum medical

college campus, therefore, most of the infrastructure faci l it ies are already

developed within the site.

During operation phase, the developed infrastructure wil l be in operation

and wil l have environmental aspects l ike vehicular movement, operat ion



Page 4 - 2

of D.G. sets, eff luent & sewage generation, generation of MSW & bio-

medical waste, e-waste, hazardous waste etc. The areas of environmental

concerns for which the impacts and their predict ions are taken into

consideration are :-

• Air Environment

• Noise Environment

• Water Environment

• Land Environment

• Biological Environment

• Socio-Economic Environment

• Aesthet ics

• Building Materials

• Energy Conservation

4.2 Details of anticipated environmental impacts due to the proposed project and the mitigation measures for minimizing and / or offsetting adverse impacts identified.

4.2.1 Air Environment

Impacts on the Air Environment:

Prediction of Impact during Construction Phase

Impact of construction activit ies on air quali ty is a cause for concern

mainly in the dry months due to sett l ing of dust particles. The main

sources of emission during the construct ion period are the movement of

equipment at site and dust emitted during the level l ing, grading,

earthworks, foundation works and other construction related act iv it ies.

The impact is l ikely to be for short duration and conf ined locally to the

construction site i tself . The impact will , be marginal, and temporary in

nature.

Prediction of Impact during Operation Phase

The source of gaseous pollutants within the proposed expansion project

are from DG sets. The emissions of Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of

Nitrogen (NOx) wil l be due to operat ion of DG sets (Existing - 500 kVA x

1 no. + 625 kVA x 1 no. and Proposed - 500 kVA x 1 no. + 625 kVA x



Page 4 - 3

1 no.), only in case of the fai lure of the power grid.

In order to control emission of particulates during operation of the DG

sets, adequate stack height is provided as per CPCB norms.

Air Modelling Studies

The mathematical Model ISCST-3, was used for predicting the GLCs,

which is entirely in l ine with the requirement of Central Pollut ion Control

Board (CPCB), New Delhi.

Anticipated Impacts during construction phase

Environmental aspects during Construction Phase

The potential sources of air emissions during the construct ion phase of

the project wil l be as fol lows:

• Dust from earth works (during si te clearance and preparat ion for

construction of new buildings);

• Emissions from diesel generators at site;

• Emissions from the operation of construct ion equipments and

machineries.

• Fugit ive emissions from vehicles running to site;

• Fugit ive emissions during the unloading of loose construction materials

at site;

• Fugit ive emissions during mixing of cement with other building

materials during construct ion act ivit ies;

• Air emissions other than dust ar ise from combustion of hydrocarbons.

The pollutants of concerns are NOx, SOx, CO, particulate etc.

• Use of f ire wood, coal etc as fuel for domestic cooking etc in labour

sheds.

Ambient air quali ty effects are normally assessed in relat ion to their

potent ial to cause health deteriorat ion and nuisance in local communities ,

health deteriorat ion amongst onsite workers etc.

During the excavation of foundations, unloading of loose construction

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

such as brick and stone dust, sand, aggregates, fugit ive dust emissions



Page 4 - 4

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

wi ll be in the form of coarse particulate matter and sett le down ult imately

in closed vicinity of construction site.

Emissions from the D.G. sets during construct ion phase may cause some

local ized impact on ambient air quality for short duration, as it wil l be

operated during power fai lure only. It may be noted that the D.G. set

power will be used to operate construct ion equipment only if required.

Adequate height of stacks and Acoust ic enclosures wi ll be provided to the

D.G. set as per guidelines of CPCB to facil i tate the dispersion of f lue

gases into the atmosphere.

Environmental Aspects during operation phase

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

occupiers of proposed project. Also, the vehicles and the transport system

for staff in dif ferent bui ldings of hospital cum medical col lege campus wil l

be at site. Vehicular emissions wil l be major source of air pollution.

Quantum and dispersion of pol lutants form vehicular emission wil l depend

upon the fol lowing:

• Volume of traff ic on the roads,

• Meteorological condit ions.

• Emission sources from D.G. Sets

From vehicular emissions, SOx, NOx and CO are pol lutants of primary

concern. The dispersion of vehicular emissions wi l l be conf ined upto

100 m from the road and concentration will decrease with the increase in

distance from road. It is ant icipated that the contribution of vehicular

emissions in ambient air quali ty wil l be marginal but well within the

stipulated National Ambient Air Quality standards. At higher wind speed,

dispersion wil l be faster.

D.G. Sets wil l be provided for back up electric ity supply during power

failure. This wi ll cause emission of SPM, SOx, NOx and CO. However,

since the D.G. Sets wil l be operational only during power fai lure, the

emissions wil l also be limited.



Page 4 - 5

Improper disposal of sewage and municipal sol id waste in the land also

causes nuisance in the operation phase of the project.

4.2.2 Noise Environment

Environmental aspects during construction phase

During the construction phase of project, noise will be generated from the

various sources. Some major sources of noise generation at project site

are l isted here under:

• Generation of noise during movement of vehicles carrying materials

and also during loading & unloading activ it ies.

• Generation of noise from excavation machines, concrete mixer and

other construction machines,

• Generation of noise during the operat ion of D.G. Sets,

• Generation of noise during concret ing, hammering, dri l l ing, stone

cutt ing etc.

All the above-mentioned sources of construction activit ies at proposed

expansion project would be intermittent and experienced occasionally. It

may also be noted that the most of the construct ion activ it ies would be

carried out only during the daytime.

The expected noise levels from various activit ies are given hereunder:

From vehicles bringing materials to the site 70 dB(A)

D.G. Set 85 dB(A)

Excavat ion 80 dB(A)

Concrete Mixtures 80 dB(A)

Hammering 85 dB(A)

The sound level generated by noise source decreases with increasing

distance from the source due to wave divergence. An addit ional decrease

in sound pressure level from the source is expected due to atmospheric

effect or i ts interaction with objects in the transmission path.

The noise produced during construction phase will have temporary

impacts on the existing, ambient noise levels at project site but restricted

to small distance and only during dayt ime.



Page 4 - 6

Environmental aspects during operation phase

The main sources of noise from the project are running of D.G. Sets,

HVAC system and vehicular traff ic. D.G. Sets installed in the proposed

project wi ll provide emergency electr icity supply during power fai lure. This

wi ll be intermittent and for short durations. The vehicles plying within the

site wil l be mainly of the occupiers and hence not expected to cause

unnecessary noise. Hence, during this phase, no major impact on noise

environment is ant icipated.

4.2.3 Land Environment

Environmental Aspects during Construction phase

Environmental aspects during construction phase in the land environment

are: -

• Infrastructure development

• Site clearance & excavation

• Excavated earth & loose construction materials

• Loss of topsoil due to storm water

• Labour colony & generation of sewage and municipal solid waste

• Construct ion waste generation and disposal

Environmental Aspects during Operation phase

During the operation phase of the project, the soi l may get polluted /

contaminated from lit ter ing of various kinds of wastes generated within

the site such as food items, paper, wood pieces, paints, pesticides, oi l &

grease etc.

4.2.4 Water Environment

Environmental Aspects of Surface Water during construction phase

The primary concerns relat ing to surface water associated with

construction activit ies are pointed out below:-

• Consumption of large quantity of water for site preparat ion &

development.

• Loose excavated earth and loose construction material at site & runoff

related to unpaved and excavated / exposed areas during rainy days.



Page 4 - 7

• Sediments transported along with the runoff f rom the construct ion site.

• Run off related to area where lubricant, fuel other construct ion

materials are stored, used and disposed, off .

• Water consumption in labour colony (temporary accommodation area

for laborers) and generation of sewage & MSW from the colony.

Large quantity of water required for site preparation & development also

water consumption in labour colony during construct ion phase. Surface

water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff f rom the

project site. The impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the

increased soil erosion from excavated site / exposed soil causing

increase in the suspended part ic les and turbidity of runoff water from the

site. Also the non-point sources of pollut ion can affect the surface water

body. Also, the municipal solid waste and the sewage generation from the

labour colony wi ll af fect the water quality for a shorter period. Therefore,

the surface water quality during rains will be impacted marginally for very

short duration.

Environmental Aspects of Surface Water during operation phase

During the operational phase, large quantity of water consumption for the

occupier of dif ferent buildings, make-up water to the HVAC units can have

impact on competing users. The generation of sewage & MSW, bio-

medical waste from the hospital, e-waste from institutional buildings,

hazardous waste from hospital cum medical college campus can have

impact on the surface water body.

Environmental Aspects of Ground Water during construction phase

Due to the presence of high ground water table within the project site, the

excavat ion during construction phase for below ground level structures if

carried out wil l lead to dewatering and deplet ion of ground water and wil l

have impact for a longer duration. Consumption of ground water for

construction activit ies and for labour colony will have impact on

competing users for a shorter duration. Discharge of sewage & MSW to

land can contaminate ground water for a shorter duration.



Page 4 - 8

Environmental Aspects of Ground Water during Operation phase

Consumption of ground water for domestic purposes for occupiers of the

different bui ldings of hospital cum medical college & make-up water for

HVAC units will have impact on competing users for a longer durat ion.

Discharge of sewage & MSW to land can contaminate ground water for a

longer duration.




4.2.5 Biological Environment


The biological environment can have impact due to the fol lowing

environmental aspects during construction phase: -

• Site clearance & excavation

• Various construct ion act ivit ies

• Labour colony (temporary accommodation of laborers) and

procurement of f ire wood for domestic purposes.

Environmental aspects during operation phase

The biological environment can have impact due to the fol lowing

environmental aspects during operation phase: -

• Vehicular movement

• Generation of Municipal sol id waste & its improper disposal.

4.2.6 Socio-Economic Environment


The socio-economic environment can have impact due to the following

environmental aspects are: -

• Labour colony & the migrant labours and the related cultural &

social issues

• Unhygienic site sanitation facil it ies may cause health damage to the

workers.



Page 4 - 9

Environmental aspects during Operation phase

All the environmental aspects during operat ion phase of the proposed

expansion of existing campus can lead to posit ive impacts only. During

operational phase of proposed expansion of existing hospital cum medical

college campus project, about 1,000 persons will get direct employment

opportunit ies as staff in the inst i tut ional building, management staff ,

maintenance, housekeeping and security. As an est imate, during

operation phase, about 100 persons wil l get marginal employment

opportunit ies from the proposed project who would work as domestic

helpers. This wi ll help in improving the qual ity of l i fe of economically

weaker sect ions of the local area.

4.2.7 Other environmental aspects

The other identif ied environmental aspects which can have impact during

construction phase & operation phase are: -

• Un-aesthetic Labour colony for the workers

• In-eff icient building design and high consumption of energy

• In-eff icient building materials and high consumption of energy

• Improper f ire & other emergency preparedness during natural and

man-made activit ies.

4.3 Identified Environmental impacts from various aspects

The above discussed environmental aspects during construct ion &

operation of the project have been analyzed to identify the possible

environmental impacts on air, noise & vibration, water, land environment,

biological & socio economic environment, building materials, energy etc.

Various impacts during the construction phase and operation phase on

the environmental parameters have been studied to est imate the impact

on environment.

The impact identif icat ion and predict ion process aims to:

• Ident ify potential source or cause of impact throughout the l i fe of

project.

• Characterize the potent ial impacts affect ing a target or receptor

(physical, human and socio-economic).



Page 4 - 10

• Assess the potential of changing likely-hood of impact through

Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Prediction of the impacts due to the construct ion and operat ional

act iv it ies encompass the developmental processes to be undertaken

during construct ion and operational phases. For each category of

environmental receptor (such as ambient air quality, water quali ty, soil,

land, biological environment, noise level, socio economic aspects etc.)

the potent ial impacts of activit ies during construct ion and operational

phases have been identif ied.

The generat ion of pollut ion could be cont inuous, periodic or accidental,

sources of pollutants and their characteristics during the construction and

operational phases. Similarly, the consumption / loss of natural resources

could be cont inuous, periodic or accidental.

The Identif ied Impacts are broadly divided into two segments.

1. Impacts due to pollutants generated in the development of the

proposed project during both the construction and operat ional phases

are solid, l iquid and gaseous in nature.

2. The consumption / loss of natural resources l ike water, top-soi l, current

ecology of the site etc.

In al l, 35 Environmental aspects have been ident if ied from various areas

during construction phase and 29 during operation phase.

The identif ied environmental aspects & their ant ic ipated impacts are

presented in the table 4.1.

4.4 Selection criteria for evolving significant impacts

The signif icance of the impact is decided based on the fol lowing criteria.

� Whether the environmental aspects have potent ial to cause direct

impact or indirect impacts?

� Whether the environmental aspects would violate legal / mandatory

requirement if uncontrol led?

� Whether the l ikely environmental impact will be l imited to local

surroundings or it would be wide spread?

� Whether the likely environmental impact would be of a temporary

nature or permanent nature depending on the toxicity levels?

� Whether the occurrence of the environmental aspects and its l ikely

environmental impact wil l be of long term nature or short term

nature?

� Whether mit igation measures available and can be adopted to

minimize the signif icance of the impacts to permissible l imits?

The above criteria has been shown in the table 4.2 below.

Yes No

4.5 The marking for various criteria

For the purpose of comparing the weightage of signif icance of the above

criteria, marks are given to each cr iter ia. Mult ipl ication of marks of al l the

six criter ia is made to arrive at the f inal score of each identif ied impact.

The maximum score would be 64 (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2) and the minimum

score would be 1 (1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1).

A cut off of 16 marks is assumed to decide the signif icance of

environmental impacts.

The impacts having less than 16 marks are considered as insignif icant.

The impacts having 16 or more marks are considered as signif icant

environmental impacts. The weighted criteria is given in the table 4.3.

2 Water

Impact on competing users due to large consumption of water for curing, dust suppression, construction, domestic use etc.

� To avoid wastage of cur ing water , following procedures are suggested: -

• Curing water should be sprayed on concrete structures: f ree f low of water should not be al lowed for cur ing.

• Af ter l iberal cur ing on the f irst day, al l concrete structures should be painted with curing chemical to save water . This wil l s top dai ly water curing.

• Concrete structures should be covered with thick c loth / gunny bags and then water should be sprayed on them. This would avoid water rebound and wi l l ensure sustained and complete curing.

• Ponds should be made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water f lowing away f rom the f lat surface while curing.

• Water ponding should be done on al l sunken slabs, th is would also highl ight the importance of having an impervious formwork.

� Estimation of daily water consumption based on the population, reuse and recycled options, quanti f icat ion of waste water , requirement of construction water, etc.

� Moni tor ing water use: Use of water meter conforming to ISO Standards would be insta l led at the inlet point of water uptake and at the discharge point to monitor the dai ly water consumption.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

(TECHNOLOGY AND SITE)


Chapter 5 Analysis of Al ternat ives (Technology and Site) Page 5 - 1

5.0 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (TECHONOLOGY AND SITE)

5.1 Introduction


Hospital cum Medical Col lege project at Edappal Vil lage, Ponnani Taluk,

Malappuram District, Kerala. The plot area of the Hospital cum Medical

College Project is 9.4534 ha (94,534.56 sq. m.) and the total built -up

area is 1,38,937.50 sq. m. (exist ing 53,889.72 sq.m. + proposed

85,047.78 sq.m.). The building construct ion of 53,889.72 sq.m. of the

project is already completed.

The present project is one of the more proactive side of environmental

assessment – enhancing the project through examining opt ions instead of

only focusing on the more defensive task of reducing adverse impacts of a

single opt ion of the project. This requires systematic comparison of the

feasible alternat ives for technology and operat ional alternatives.

Alternat ives are compared in terms of their potential environmental

impacts, capital and recurring costs, suitabi lity under local condit ions etc.

For examining the alternatives for carrying out a project, the following

aspects should be kept into consideration:

(i) Type of the alternatives.

(i i) Environment impacts associated with each alternative.

(i i i ) Rationale for select ing the preferred alternative.

This Chapter deals with the analysis of alternat ives (technology and site)

( if any).

5.2 Alternative Sites

The construct ion of new buildings are within the existing plot area of

9.4534 hectares.

The project proponent considering the need of the project at that area,

hence no alternat ive site is required for the project. The reasons

favorable for sett ing-up this project is located at Edappal Vil lage, Ponnani

Taluk, Malappuram District, Kerala are :


Chapter 5 Analysis of Al ternat ives (Technology and Site) Page 5 - 2

� The project wil l cater to the demand for economical and better

hospital and inst itutional faci l ity.

� The site is located in high medical services demand area.

� There wil l be easy access to the patients / staff / local populat ion

for fulf i l l ing their medical demand being near to the residence /

off ice / work station to avail the facil i ty.

� The proposed site is found to be away from any ecologically

sensit ive / protected areas.

Owing to the various above advantages, the site was selected for the

development of facil i t ies / act iv it ies.

There are no archaeological, historical, cultural or defense instal lations

within 10 km from the project boundary. There is no national park or

wi ldl i fe sanctuary / ecologically sensit ive area within 10 km from the

project boundary. The site area is not part of any f lood plain nor in the

land sl ide vulnerable zone as per the hazard zonation map published by

State Disaster Management Authority. The proposed project is an

expansion of exist ing hospital cum medical col lege. There is no resident /

human sett lement within the site and hence there is no rehabili tation. Due

to the above mentioned reasons, there is no need for alternative site.

5.3 Alternatives in Technology

The project relates the construct ion and development of hospital cum

medical college project with supporting infrastructural facil it ies for

creat ing faci l it ies with an easy access to the people as there is high

demand of medical cum institutional building in the area. The project

proponent has adopted state-of-the-Art Technology considering the

requirement of the project and environmental aspects related to the

construction and operation of the project.

6.1 Introduction

The purpose of the monitor ing program is to ensure that the specif ied

mitigative measures are performing well and leading to the desired

benefits for the target area and its populat ion. To ensure the effective

implementat ion of the EMP and gauge the eff iciency of the mitigat ive

measures, monitor ing shall be undertaken both during the construction

and operation phase of the proposed expansion of hospital project.

6.1.1 Performance Indicators (PIs)

The physical, biological and social indicators are generally particular

signif icance to the construction projects are:-

• Air quality

• Water quali ty

• Noise levels

• Solid Waste Management

• Replantat ion success / survival rate

The Indicators that are found to be signif icant for the assessment study of

this development are as follows:-

• Water Quality

• Air Quali ty

• Noise levels

• Flora

To ensure the effect ive implementat ion of the mit igation measures and

environmental management during construction and operation phase of

project, it is essential that an effective Environmental Monitoring Plan be

designed.

6.1.1.1 Water Quality Monitoring

The physical, chemical & biological parameters recommended for analysis

of water qual ity relevant to the proposed expansion project as per the

required parameters. The locations, duration and the pollution parameters

to be monitored are detai led in the Environmental Monitor ing Plan. The

results of analysis are to be compared against IS 10500 for ground water



samples, and general standards of discharge or as per SPCB

specif icat ions for STP treated water.

6.1.1.2 Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) Monitoring

Ambient air quality parameters recommended for monitoring with regard

to constructional activ it ies are PM10 & PM2 .5, SO2 , NO2 & CO. Monitoring

shall be carr ied out once in a seasons in accordance to the National

Ambient Air Quantity Standards. The locations with the pol lution

parameters to be monitored are detailed out in the Environmental

Monitoring Plan.

6.1.1.3 Noise Level Monitoring

The measurements of noise levels wil l be carried out at al l designated

locations in accordance to the ambient Noise Standards formulated by

MoEF as given. Noise level wil l be monitored on twenty-four hourly basis.

Noise should be recorded at “A” weighted frequency using a slow t ime

response mode of the measuring instrument.

6.1.1.4 Success of Vegetation

To ensure the proper maintenance and monitoring of the proposed

plantation act ivit ies, a regular survey of the survival rate of the planted /

transplanted trees is being proposed up-to a period of 5-7 years from the

start of operat ion of the project.

The measurement location, durat ion and the pollution parameters to be

monitored are detailed in the Environmental Monitoring Plan (Table 6.1

out a risk assessment and prepare a disaster management plan for the

project.

The planning and construct ion of the buildings fol low all the safety norms,

it may not be always possible to total ly el iminate the risks of eventuali t ies

and fai lures of equipment or human errors. An essential part of major

hazard control has therefore, to be concerned with mit igat ing the effects

of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest.

The overall object ive of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make

uses of combined resources at s ite and outside to achieve the following:

1. To localize the emergency and if possible el iminate it ;

2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property;

3. Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualt ies;

4. Safeguard other people;

5. Evacuate people to safe areas;

6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorit ies;

7. Init ial ly contain and ult imately bring the incident under control;



8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry

into the cause and circumstances of the emergency;

9. Investigat ing and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence

The ERP is therefore related to identif ication of sources from which

hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take

place in the concerned area. The plan taken into account the maximum

credible loss scenario - act ions that can successfully mitigate the effects

of losses/ emergency need to be well planned so that they would require

less effort and resources to control and terminate emergencies, should

the same occur. Main hazards ident if ied for the project include hazards

pertaining to f ires in buildings and f ire in diesel storage areas, earthquake

and LPG leakage and an ERP pertaining to these is described in the

following sect ion.

7.2.2 Response in Case of Earthquake

Response Procedures for Occupants

If indoors:

1. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall

and hold on.

2. Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an

earthquake is to try to leave the building because objects can fal l on

you.

If outdoors:

Move into the open, away from buildings, street lights and ut il i ty wires.

Once in the open, stay there unti l the shaking stops.

If in a moving vehicle:

Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear area away from

buildings, trees, overpasses, or ut i l ity wires. Once the shaking has

stopped, proceed with caut ion. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have

been damaged by the quake.

After the quake

1. After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.



2. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause addit ional

damage and may bring weakened structures down. Aftershocks can

occur in f irst hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

Help injured or trapped persons.

1. Give f irst aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured

persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for

help.

2. Remember to help those who may require special assistance-- infants,

the elderly, and people with disabi lit ies.

3. Stay out of damaged buildings.

4. Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

Response Procedure for Emergency Team

1. Formulate an Emergency Response Team for earthquake response

7.3 Resource Conservation

7.3.1 General approach


college campus project will lead to uti l izat ion of various natural resources.

As an environmentally responsible corporate, the project proponent

endeavor to conserve these resources by judicious management and

recycling and strive to build up these resources where possible.

7.3.2 Water Resources – The project will use water supply and the stored

rain water tanks / ponds with total cumulat ive storage capacity of about

5,000 KL for of the project. Following means are proposed to be adopted

for conservat ion of this life sustaining resource:

• Minimum Ground water withdrawal: As informed, the present

project is a multi-storied resident ial building project. The exist ing

buildings as well as for proposed buildings have provision of storage of

rain water through tanks, therefore the water requirement of the site wil l

have minimal dependency of water from groundwater abstraction. As per

the classif icat ion by the CGWA, Ponnani Block in Malappuram district is

declared as “Safe Zone”. Hence the ground water available in the region

is ensure and to use of domestic purposes.

• Reduced use of water: To further minimize the use of avai lable

freshwater, various water eff icient f ixtures low f low f ixtures may be

provided such as Low f low f lushing systems, sensor based f ixtures,

waterless urinals, tap aerators.

• Treatment and Recycling: The wastewater generated from the

project site will be treated through Sewage Treatment Plant upto tert iary

level. This wil l enable the treated water from STP will be used for

f lushing, landscaping, boiler & for make-up water for cooling towers

attached with HVAC system requirements thereby reducing the

requirement of freshwater for these purposes.

• Rainwater harvesting: The increased hard surface of the proposed

project increases the runoff as compared to the otherwise vacant land. I t

is proposed to harvest this rainwater runoff while reducing the burden of



storm water management of the project site. The stored rain water (in

tanks and pond) after treatment will be used to meet Non-f lushing

requirement. Also rain water harvest ing pits are constructed within the

site to recharge the ground water level.

7.3.3 Construction materials: As informed earl ier, the construction work

for the building was part ial ly completed. For the expansion purposes, the

project wil l require various kinds of natural construction materials such as

sand, gravel etc. These materials will procured from local market as per

requirement. This will also result in cost-eff iciency. Excavated soil from

the project s ite wil l used within the site. Country made bricks replaced

with cement blocks / hollow blocks. River sand replaced with

manufacturing sand from crusher.

7.3.4 Top soil as a resource: The top soil f rom the site was conserved.

The top soil from the areas where excavation carried out used for

landscaping within the site. There is exposed soil without vegetative cover

so as to prevent top soil erosion due to wind or by run-of f . The excavat ion

of earthwork wil l be done for the foundation of structures. The total

excavated of earth is 7,300 cum. The top soil (730 cum) which is fert i le

wi ll be kept at site for landscaping work. Part of the excavated soil will be

used for back f i l l ing work (4,380 cum) for site leveling and the remaining

quantity of 2190 cum wil l be used for internal road construct ion work.

Country made bricks replaced with cement blocks / hollow blocks

7.3.5 Energy as a resource: To conserve the energy resources, good

pract ices wil l be followed during the operation phase such as turning off

l ights and equipments when not in use, ensuring fuel eff iciency of motors

and vehicles through proper maintenance and minimal work at night. The

principles of energy conservation wil l also be embedded in the building

through use of energy eff icient f ixtures, maximum availabil ity of natural

l ight and use of solar energy.

It is proposed to install 200 KW solar l ight ing, 5000 Ltrs solar water

heaters.

7.5 Social Impact Assessment

7.5.1 Introduction - Corporate Environment Responsibility

Community need assessments seek to gather accurate information

representative of the needs of a community. Assessments are performed



prior to taking act ion and are used to determine current situat ions and

identify issues for act ion, establ ishing the essential foundation for vital

planning. The process is an invaluable tool for involving the public in

solving problems and developing goals.

To gather accurate information and ident ify the needs of the nearby

community to the project site, a community need assessment study was

carried out by Socio – Economic Expert, accredited by NABET in Edappal

Grama Panchayat. The main purpose of the study is to assist the project

proponent in delivering their Corporate Environmental Responsibi l ity

(CER) as per OM No. 22-65/2017-IA.III dt. 01-05-2018 issued by

MoEF&CC Notif ied by Ministry of Environment & Forests, states that

every green f ield project having capital investment under Rs. 100 crores

need to allocate 1.5% of its project cost (capital investment) for act ivit ies

under Corporate Environment Responsibi l i ty (CER). The instant project is

a Greenfield project and its capital investment is Rs. 180 crores.

Therefore the project has to spend an amount of Rs. 2.7 Crores under

CER in the surrounding vil lages. The project proponent has set apart an

amount of Rs. 2.7 Crores (about 1.5% of the project cost) to carry out

CER act iv it ies The objective is to obtain a social l icense from the stake

holders who are l ikely to be affected due to the proposed project.

the country is expected to grow from the current $3 bil l ion to $7-8 bi l l ion

by 2020.



Medical tourism can be broadly def ined as provision of 'cost effective'

private medical care in col laboration with the tourism industry for patients

needing surgical and other forms of special ized treatment. This process is

being faci l itated by the corporate sector involved in medical care as well

as the tourism industry - both private and public.

Medical or Health tourism has become a common form of vacationing, and

covers a broad spectrum of medical services. It mixes leisure, fun and

relaxation together with wellness and healthcare.

The health holiday is an opportunity to get away from the dai ly rout ine

and come into a dif ferent relaxing surrounding. Here anyone can enjoy

being close to the beach and the mountains. At the same t ime you are

able to receive an orientat ion that wil l help you improve your life in terms

of your health and general well-being. It is l ike rejuvenation and clean-up

process on al l levels - physical, mental and emotional.

Many people from the developed world come to India for the rejuvenation

promised by yoga and Ayurvedic massage, but many consider it a

dest ination for hip replacement, Kidney & Liver problems or brain surgery,

cancer treatment etc. However, a nice blend of top-class medical

expert ise at attractive prices is helping a growing number of Indian

corporate hospitals lure foreign patients, including from developed nations

such as the UK and the US. As more and more pat ients from Europe, the

US and other aff luent nat ions with high medicare costs look for effective

options:

Apart from the benefits incurred through the project, there wil l be

environmental benefits through the project. This includes benefits

occurring to the locality neighborhood, and region as a whole. The

foremost benefits are l isted as fol lows:

A. Socio-Economy

� During the construction phase, there was growth in indirect jobs and

business opportunit ies to the local and nearby people such as

contractors, transporters and row material suppliers etc.



� Due to this project, there is posit ive impact on the economic

development of the region in terms of employment opportunit ies.

� Post project wil l generate long term addit ional employment in

bui lding maintenance and ancillary services for local population.

B. Tree Plantat ion and Landscaping

� Trees plantat ion on ground levels (as already planted / to be

planted) helps reducing energy use by reducing heat island effect.

� Pleasing aesthetic and visual impact.

� Trees act as natural noise buffers.

� Provide tolerance to air pollutants l ike PM1 0, PM2.5, SO2, NOx & CO.

C. Water Saving and waste water Management

� The construction activ it ies are already completed. During operat ion

phase, the raw water requirement wil l be reduced by using treated

domestic waste for plantation and flushing purposes, horticulture,

boiler and make-up water for cooling purposes and no l iquid

discharge outside the project premises.

� By using various water saving pract ices l ike use of water eff icient

plumbing f ixtures, dual f luxing cisterns etc. and use of rain water for

domestic purposes bringing down the per capita water consumption

compared to the present use.

� Reducing storm water runoff by collecting the rain water from

terraces and to store in tanks as well as in pond and reducing the

load on storm water drains.

D. Energy Saving

� Provision of solar panels for external l ighting for proposed project.

� Maintenance of energy saving measures using conventional

measures.

� Various energy saving measures to save energy through

conventional and non-conventional method (Solar panels).

E. Solid and Hazardous & Bio-medical Waste Management

� Provision of dedicated space for solid waste management & bio-gas

generation plant for disposal of municipal solid waste. Also the bio-



medical waste would be segregated as per the guidelines and wil l

be sent to the authorized agency i.e. IMAGE. The manure from

biodegradable waste is being used for plantation.

� Provision for separate storage for E-Waste. E-Waste is being

handed over to authorized recyclers, non-biodegradable waste shall

be handed over to approved vendors.

F. Environmental Monitoring & Environmental Management Plan

� Environmental monitor ing as mentioned in Chapter 6 wil l be carried

out regularly ensuring the baseline quality, implementat ion of

mitigation measures and control of environmental pollution.

� Environmental Management Plan and its judicious implementat ion

with operation and maintenance of environmental facil it ies and

insurance of proper budgetary allocations for a long term benefits to

project and surrounding areas.

2.0 Project description











area of the hospital cum medical col lege wi ll be 1,38,937.50 sq.m.

(existing bui lt-up area 53,889.72 sq. m. + 85,047.78 sq.m.) with number of

hospital beds of 1,170 beds.

The estimated cost of the project is about Rs. 180 Crores. The project is

expected to employ about 1,000 direct job opportunit ies which includes

medical & non-medical staff .

During construct ion phase, the daily water requirement for construction

act iv it ies is about 312 KL (for 48 months) and for meeting domestic

requirement is about 27 KL (250 workers at site, avg.) (for 48 months).

The sewage generat ion from the labourers during construct ion phase is

expected to be about 27 KL/day which wi ll be disposed through STP

within the site. The treated water from the mobile STP wil l be used for

wetting of dust suppression and for landscaping purposes within the site.

During operat ion phase, the sources of water for meeting the domestic

requirement as well as other requirements of the proposed hospital cum

medical col lege project wil l be from exist ing wells, stored rain water and

recycled water from STP / ETP.

The total daily water consumption for the proposed project would be about

1,328 KL (fresh water 677 KL + recycled water 651 KL). The f irst day

fresh water requirement is 1,328 KL and subsequent days, the daily fresh

water requirement is 677 KL. The daily domestic water consumption is

870 KL (f lushing purposes 647 KL + non-f lushing purposes 223 KL).

The sewage generat ion from the proposed hospital cum medical campus

during operation phase is expected to be about 696 KL/day which wil l be

disposed through STP within the site. The treated water from STP wil l be

used for f lushing purposes, landscaping purposes, boiler requirement and



make-up water requirement for cooling towers attached with the HVAC

system within the site.

During construction phase, the storm water within the site wil l be partially

channelized to the rain water storage tank. Appropriate de-si lt ing and oi l

removal wil l be provided so that the storm water wil l not contaminate the

land and aquifer.

During operation phase, to conserve water, rainwater storage capacity of

5,000 KL is provided at the site. It is provided that roof rain water wil l be

directed to rain harvest ing tanks after de-siltat ion, the removal of oi l and

grease through a trap within si te. This water wil l be used for daily

requirement after suitable treatment. Excess rain water shall be lead to

storm water drain available near the site.

There is no Ecologically sensit ive zone (National Park, Sanctuary, Habitat

for Migratory Birds, Tiger Reserve) within the 10 km radius. Also, there is

no forest are within 10 km radius from the site.

As per the Land Use Cert if icate and Land Conversion Cert if icate issued

by Tahsildar, Ponnani on 31-03-2014 stating that the land is "do not fal l

under Agricultural use and this land can be used for Educat ion purpose to

establish Education Institut ions".

3.0 Description of the Environment

Study Area : As specif ical ly mentioned in EIA Notif icat ion and as well as

on the basis of "Environmental Impact Assessment Guidance Manual for

Building, Construction, Township and Area Development Projects"

published by Ministry of Environment & Forests, February, 2010, for

carrying out an EIA study of a building construction project, the project

site is called as "core zone" and 10 km radius from the boundary l imits of

the project site is called as "buffer zone". The study area includes the

"core zone" and "buffer zone".

Study period : The study period was November & December, 2018 which

is other than the monsoon season. The samples were collected and

analysed for various parameters through an National Accredited Board for

Laboratories (NABL), accredited laboratory and also by the ecological &

social experts approved by QCI/NABET.



Meteorological parameters :

Temperature - The maximum temperatures ranges from 28.9 to 36.2°C

and the minimum temperatures range from 17.0 to 23.4°C.

Rainfall - The normal rainfal l of the district is 2793.3 mm.

Humidity -The relative humidity ranges from 84 to 94 % during morning

hours. The humidity is more during the peak monsoon months from June

to September.

Wind rose - As per the wind rose diagram, the pre-dominent wind

direction is from south direction.

Air Environment - All the analyzed values of al l parameters are well

within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Noise Environment - I t can be observed from the results that the noise

values are much below the prescribed l imits for Industr ial, Commercial,

Resident ial, and Silence zone. Proposed project are not l ikely to cause

any increase in 'noise' levels at the monitoring locat ions (sensit ive

receptors) which are located more than a kilometer away from the project

site.

Land Environment - As per the Land Use / Land Cover Classif icat ion

System, the exist ing land use within the buffer zone is about 63% of the

land is Plantation area, about 7% land is River/Stream / Canal and about

24% of the land is Crop land and remaining land is covered with other

land use / land cover. The soil in core area is not good in nutr ients values

and not product ive from agriculture view point.

Proposed project is an expansion of exist ing hospital cum medical col lege

project and new buildings wil l be construct ing within the exit ing plot area.

Therefore, the land use / land cover of study area is not l ikely to get

affected adversely due to proposed project.

Water Environment - I t is observed that the ground water level is

encountered about 1 m from the existing ground level.






All the parameters except pH level, i ron content, hardness, chlor ides are

within the standards as per IS:10500 (Ground Water - Bore well). It is

recommended that appropriate treatment wil l be done before its

consumption for domestic purposes.

Ecological Environment - Analysis of the f lora revealed that, in the

proposed project s ite there are 90 plant species fal l ing under 48 plant

families. Angiosperms forms 86 species with 25 species of trees including

saplings, 18 species of shrubs, 28 species of herbs and 15 species of

climbers. There are four Pteridophytes (ferns) fal l ing under three families.

The Site has 90 species of plants. I t consists of Trees 25 species, Tree

saplings 18 species, Shrubs 18 species, Herbs 28 species,

Cl imbers 15 species, Ferns 4 species,

The most dominant plant family is Compositae with 8 plant species

followed by Leguminosae, Moraceae Euphorbiaceae, and Malvaceae. One

tree species namely Artocarpus hirsutus is endemic to Southern Western

Ghats.

The fol lowing lists of faunal elements were observed from the site :

Birds 26 species, Mammals 10 species, Butterf l ies 24 species, Odonates

12 species, Amphibians 6 species, Repti les 10 species, Spiders 11

species, Ants 6 species,

Regarding the conservat ion status of the fauna, none of the animal

species ident if ied from the site belonged to the threatened categories

identif ied by the International Union for Conservation of the Nature and

Natural Resources (IUCN). Most of them are common and widely

distributed and the range of occurrence extended to wide geographical

area. One species of butterf ly namely Southern Birdwing (Troides minos)

and one species of amphibian viz. Rhacophorus malabaricus reported

f rom the site are endemic to W. Ghats.



plot area. Therefore, the proposed construct ion act iv ity wi ll have minimal

impact on the local f loral and faunal species. Due to the construct ion



act iv ity, there wil l be minimal loss of habitat to faunal species specially to

avifauna.

Socio-economic Environment - The density of populat ion in the buffer

zone is about 1465 persons per sq km. The project area is in a rural

vil lage. Majority of the populat ion in the study area are engaged in

agriculture and cult ivat ion. There is no major industry in the area. The

proposed project is l ikely to generate direct and indirect employment.

Economic growth is expected in the area due to construct ion boom and

al l ied industry like transport, mini hotels and restaurants and enhanced

commercial act iv it ies (markets, shops, real estate etc.).

Also, the healthcare faci l it ies wil l be increase due to the sett ing up of

medical col lege in the vic inity.

notif ied by MoEF / CPCB.

2 Water

Impact on competing users due to large consumption of water for cur ing, dust suppression, construction, domestic use etc.

� To avoid wastage of cur ing water, following procedures are suggested: -

• Curing water should be sprayed on concrete structures: f ree f low of water should not be al lowed for curing.

• Af ter l iberal cur ing on the f irst day, al l concrete structures should be painted with curing chemical to save water. This wil l s top dai ly water curing.

• Concrete structures should be covered with thick cloth / gunny bags and then water should be sprayed on them. This would avoid water rebound and wi l l ensure sustained and complete cur ing.

• Ponds should be made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water f lowing away f rom the f lat surface while curing.

• Water ponding should be done on all sunken slabs, th is would also highl ight the importance of having an impervious formwork.



� Estimation of dai ly water consumption based on the population, reuse and recycled options, quantif icat ion of waste water, requirement of construction water , etc.

� Monitor ing water use: Use of water meter conforming to ISO Standards would be insta l led at the inlet point of water uptake and at the discharge point to monitor the dai ly water consumpt ion.
