Executive Summary
INTRODUCTION
Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) is the first maritime board of India, established in the year 1982
as a statutory organization of Government of Gujarat (GoG), under the Gujarat Maritime Act
1981. It was established for facilitating the port development, privatization, manage, control and
administer the intermediate and minor ports in Gujarat in the way of specialized cargo handling
approach.
GMB has explored many unexplored routes for the development of ports in India, with a vision
“to enhance and hardness ports and international trade as vehicles for economic development”.
The Rozi Pier- a port of Group of Ports is classified as Minor Port situated in Jamnagar. The
port has capability to explore both commercial and geographical advantages. Bedi Group of
Ports offers an ideal location for handling agricultural products, coal, and bauxite. Among the
fertilizer products, fertilizer and its raw materials are generated imported through this port. The
Rozi Pier is a part of Group which is situated in Jamnagar itself which is about 275 km from
Ahmedabad in Gujarat.
M/s. Gujarat Maritime Board has appointed SV Enviro Labs & Consultants, Visakhapatnam for
preparation of EIA Report for proposed project in order to seek Environmental Clearance. SV
Enviro Labs & Consultants is a QCI-NABET accredited EIA consultancy organization for
“Ports, Harbours”. Obtained ToR Vide F.No: 10-44/2017-IA.III Dt: 07.09.2017.
Existing infrastructure
Total 800m long water front available for lighterage working at Rozi Pier Port. Out of that total
500m water front was developed by constructing wharf/Jetty with adequate back up area.
Following berthing facilities were developed by GMB in early 90’s.

Project Proposal
Gujarat Maritime Board proposes for incorporation of service jetties and allied facilities at Rozi
Pier Port, Jamnagar, Gujarat. The proposed facilities are:
(i) To the existing 400m piled jetty and 100m wharf will be expanded by having
additional 300m wharf by reclamation and CC Block wall.
(ii) Construction of boat jetty of 105m length and 7m (which includes 50m marine
police jetty, 30m forest jetty, 25m GMB jetty) and backup area of 56.3sq.m with
78m of retaining wall and approach bond of 230m length and 7m wide.
(iii) Development of 1000m x 30m backup area.
Project Location
The proposed wharf terminal is located at Rozi Port, Tal: Jamnagar, Dist: Jamnagar, Gujarat
along the Saurashtra coastal region facing Arabian Sea in the west coast India. The latitude and
longitude of the site is 22°34´1.68"N and 70°2´23.94"E respectively.
Total anticipated cargo for whole 800.0m water front is considered about 6 million ton per
annum. Hence, for 400.0m pile jetty, 3 MMTA is considered and rest 400.0m wharf wall, 3
MMTA is considered.
Backup area behind berthing facilities is developed by reclamation for cargo stacking and to
create other relevant facilities like mechanized handling, storage area etc.
The process development of Rozi Pier started before 1989. As a part the process, 400.0m wharf
to handle about 3 million metric ton cargo per annum was planned on the traffic demand of
experienced at that time based on the technical guidance of Central Water & Power Research
Station, Pune. The wharf facility as planned for lighterage operation with natural depths of
about -2.5 at Chart Datum. Out of these 400.0m wharf length, contractor abandoned the work
due to contractual dispute with GMB and only 100.0m wharf (now operated by M/s Ruchi
Infrastructure in western side) was able to be completed and remaining 300.0m waterfront was
left unattended by the contractor at that time in line with existing pile jetty having length of
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD

400.0m in eastern side. Thus, the proposed landing facility admeasuring 300.0m in water front
length at Rozi Pier which will be created by filling the gap between existing wharf having
100.0m waterfront (Ruchi Infrastructure) and existing pile jetty of 400.0m length. Net filing of
this gap will be 300.0m x 170.0m breath by reclamation in back up and construction of CC
Block wall as waterfront will constitute to 300.0m wharf facility will increase about 1 million
TPA capacities. In fact, this is a proposal to reconstruct a abandoned work of wharf of 300.0m
shall increase cargo handling facility of the terminal of total 400.0m long wharf for 3 MMTA.

incorporation of service jetties and allied facilities at Rozi Pier Port, Jamnagar, Gujarat falling
under Category –A.
Description of Environment
The coastal environment of the Rozi Pier port area forms an integral part of the Gulf. Hence, the
knowledge of the general hydrography and ecology of the Gulf is necessary for comparing the
site-specific environmental conditions with that of the parent body. The Gulf which occupies an
area of 7300km2 has maximum depth that varies from 20m at the proposed project to 60m in the
central areas of the outer Gulf.
Based on the ToR approval, the baseline environmental settings have been studied by
undertaking one season terrestrial monitoring and one season marine monitoring within the study
area of 10km radius from project site boundary. The study area represents the details of the
environment in the 10km radius from the boundary of the proposed project site. The study area
has been divided into two; core zone and buffer zone. The area that covers the 5km radial
distance around the project site is considered as the core zone and the area that covers the 5km to
10km from the boundary of project site is considered as the Buffer zone. For collecting primary
data collection. 10km study area has been considered and the secondary data has been collected
for 10 km study area.
The primary baseline environmental conditions were mentioned during the period of December’
2017 to February’ 2018. The environmental conditions were analysed by collecting the sample
data for air & meteorology, noise, water, soil, terrestrial ecology, flora & fauna, marine
physiology, marine biology and socio-economic environment. The terrestrial monitoring and
marine monitoring has been carried out in the study area during winter season.
Terrestrial Environment
As per our seeking towards areas of critical concern for environmental control such as flood
plains and wetlands, energy resource development and production areas, wildlife habitat,
recreational lands and areas such as major residential and industrial development sites, we
require the analysis of Land Use Land Cover for the proposed project.The following prominent
land use classes &pattern have been observed:

The pH of the soil is an important property; vegetation cannot grow in low and high pH value
soils. The normal range of pHin the soils are 6.0 to 8.5. The pH values in the study area are
varying from 7.40 to 8.04 indicating that the soils are falling slightly alkaline soil.
Nitrogen encourages the vegetative development of plants by imparting a healthy green color to
the leaves. The available Nitrogen as N in the study area is varying from 52.4 to 65.4 kg/ha. This
is less for crops when compared with soil standards.
Phosphorus influences the vigour of plants and improves the quality of crops. In the study area
available, Phosphorus was found in varying quantities of 16.2 to 28.1 kg/ha. This is an less level
when compared to soil standards.
Potassium enhances the ability of the plants to resist diseases, insect attacks, cold and other
adverse conditions. The available potassium in the study area varies between 48.5 to 52.4 mg/kg.
This is less level for crops.
To evaluate the baseline ambient air quality status, one season data was generated at ten
locations in and around the port including residential & rural area for a period of three months
from December’ 2017 and February’ 2018. During the monitoring period the concentration of air
pollutants namely PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx,CO in ambient were measured.The highlights of the
results are as below:

Ambient noise levels were measured at eight locations in and around the plant site. Noise levels
varied from 50.2 LeqdB(A) to 70.3 LeqdB(A) during day time and 39.9 to 65.9 Leq dB(A)
during night time.
All the results observed where within the specified CPCB Standards. The variation in the noise
level may be attributed to the movement of vehicles on the surrounding local roads adjacent to
the port.A little increase in the noise level during construction phase has been envisaged.
During the study period, the pH of the groundwater was found varying between 7.20 and
8.20.The total dissolved solids (TDS) were found to be varying between 1485 mg/l and 2486
mg/l.The Chloride levels were ranging from 461 – 862 mg/l, hardness was found to be varying
from 300 mg/l to1230 mg/l, fluoride values were found to be within a range of 0.01 mg/l to 0.07
mg/l.
According to Champion and Seth's, vegetation in study area falls under Tropical dry forest. This
type of forests occurs in a much localized manner in small pockets. The most dominant trees in
this region are Prosopis juliflora,Acacia nilotica, Acacia Senegal and other trees are Balanites
aegyptiaca, Azadirachta indica, Ficus sp, Bordi (Zizyphus mauritiana) etc.
During the floristic survey of study area, a total of 136 plant species wererecorded consisting of
18 trees, 69 herbs and 9 shrubs and 14 climbers, 24 Grasses. The list of different plant species
(trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and Grasses) recorded during field survey is enlisted. The most
common species found instudy area are Azadirachta indica, Ficus bengalensis, Ficus religiosa,
Eucalyptus sp. and Tamarindus indica. Dominant family of plants recorded in study area are
Poaceae, Fabaceae, Mimosaceae, Caesalpiniaceae Amaranthaceae, and Convolvulaceae.The list
of different plant species (trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers and Grasses) recorded during field
survey is enlisted.
There are no major wild mammals in the study area of 10 km radius buffer zone where as 9
mammals’ species were recorded from the study area. Among the 9 mammals, 2 species are
schedule II, 1 species is schedule III, 4 species are schedule IV and 2 species is schedule V
category.
Avi-fauna identified in the study area includes Asian koel, Black winged stilt, Black drongo,
black ibis, common coot, cormorants etc.
A primary perception survey was conducted to predict the intended and unintended
consequences in the study area. A method of survey was administered for this study. In this

connection, samples of 100 participants are participated from the villages of bed, Naghedi
Matva, Chnadraga, Bavariay have been collected by covering various (See table -) age groups,
communities, gender, educational qualification, nature of work, economical status and other
major variable. in this connection, respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the
project and also of their opinion about the impacts of the project which is an important aspect of
socioeconomic environment viz. job opportunities, education, health care, housing,
transportation facility and economic status. Apart from the demographical and other primary
information, the survey questionnaire was focused on 41 items with 6 major dimensions such as:
1) Economical; 2) Public Infrastructure and services; 3) Social/cultural; 4) Environmental; 5)
Health and well-being 6) Psychological/personal.
Anticipated Environmental Impacts and mitigation measures
During operation phase, fugitive dust emissions from dry bulk cargo storage yards, vehicular
emissions are the major sources of pollutants that influence the ambient air quality. To determine
the pollution load in the atmosphere, ISCST3 was used with an assumption of 95% pollution
controlled using dust suppression system. The peak predicted increment load of PM2.5 was 42.9
µg/m3, PM10 was 81.5µg/m3. The higher concentration of PM10 was contributed by the loading
and unloading of cargo that happen in and around the saltpans areas which are 2 km away from
the proposed project.
Impact on noise environment due to port operation is assessed as per ISO 9613 and the results
were found insignificant outside the port limits.
No extraction of ground water and waste water generated from the bathing and washing of the
construction workforce will be properly treated before disposal. Skid mounted sewage treatment
plant of adequate capacity will be used for treatment of waste water. Treated water shall be used
for sprinkling purpose, if it meets the prescribed land disposal requirements.
The proposed facilities shall be installed within the premises of Rozi pier port. There is no
additional point and non-point source of emission or discharge of pollutants except DG and fire
pumps hence, no adverse impact on the biological environment is envisaged due to the proposed
project activities and operation.

Environmental Monitoring Program
An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is an implementation plan consisting of mitigation
measures, Environmental monitoring program and institutional measures which are required to
be adopted during the construction and operation phases to minimize adverse environmental and
social impacts.
To maintain the environment in good condition, periodic environmental monitoring program has
been suggested for various activity involved during construction and operation phase. A
monitoring schedule with respect to Ambient Air Quality, Waste water quality, Noise Quality
prepared as per SPCB/CPCB/MoEF & CC guidelines.
Environmental Management Plan
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is planning and implementation of various pollution
abatement measures for any proposed project. The EMP lists out all these measures for planning
phase, construction phase and operational phase of the port.
The proposed project shall be designed taking into account all the legislations/rules and as per
the directives of Environmental clearance documents.
The control of Environmental pollution during construction phase even though for a shorter
period is of vital importance. The required mitigation measures with complete details have been
considered in order to develop effective mitigation measures.
The Environmental Management Plan during the operational phase of the port shall therefore be
directed towards the following:
Air Emissions Management
Control of Noise
Waste water management
Waste Management
Dredged materials management
Hazardous material and oil management
Biodiversity management
Green belt development
Energy conservation measures

PROJECT BENEFITS
The proposed project “Incorporation of service jetties and allied facilities” is expected to bring
economic, social and environmental benefits to the town and surrounding areas during the
construction and operational phases. This project is proposed to increase the cargo handling
capacity of the port in order to meet the increasing demand of raw materials in the nearby
industrial areas. This would result in generation of revenue for the government in terms of taxes
from the proposed project and resultant industrial development from the proposed project.
The proposed project proposes to create direct opportunities for both skilled and unskilled jobs
during the construction and operations phase. The backward and forward linkages will also lead
to indirect employment generation to support the project. The project will require procurement
and vendor networks for products and services, transport etc and hence there should be
additional revenue generation for local vendors and suppliers in Jamnagar.
This is expected to create short to medium-term employment opportunities for a considerable
number of personnel. Approximately 200 persons would be required of unskilled, semi-skilled
and skilled nature during construction phase. Although skilled workforce coming from outside
the immediate area will undertake some proportion of the work, the project will try to offer
employment to people of Jamnagar.
The proposed Rozi Pier Port developed by Gujarat Maritime Board which will take up some
community welfare activities under Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and also improve the
social infrastructures like education and health care system etc.
Project Cost:
The total cost of the project – Rs. 71.15 Crores and time of completion is 24 months after
obtaining Environmental Clearance and Coastal Regulatory Zone clearance from MoEF&CC and
obtaining Consent to Eastablishment (CTE) from GPCB.

1. INTRODUCTION
Gujarat Maritime Board (GMB) is the first maritime board of India, established in the year 1982
as a statutory organization of Government of Gujarat (GoG), under the Gujarat Maritime Act
1981. It was established for facilitating the port development, privatization, manage, control and
administer the intermediate and minor ports in Gujarat in the way of specialized cargo handling
approach.
GMB has explored many unexplored routes for the development of ports in India, with a vision
“to enhance and hardness ports and international trade as vehicles for economic development”.
1.1. Port History
The Bedi group of Ports, Jamnagar is operated under the Port Officer, Gujarat maritime Board,
Jamnagar. The group of ports includes Salaya, Sikka, Bedi Old Port, New Port, Rozi Pier
Project, Sachana and Jodia. Among these ports Salaya and Jodia has landing facilities and
Sachana has ship recycling yards. Some of these ports have been in operation since more than
pre-independence time.
The Rozi Pier- a port of Group of Ports is classified as Minor Port situated in Jamnagar. The port
has capability to explore both commercial and geographical advantages. Bedi Group of Ports
offers an ideal location for handling agricultural products, coal, and bauxite. Among the fertilizer
products, fertilizer and its raw materials are generated imported through this port. The Rozi Pier
is a part of Group which is situated in Jamnagar itself which is about 275 km from Ahmedabad
in Gujarat.
1.2. Location of the project
The proposed wharf terminal is located at Rozi Port, Tal: Jamnagar, Dist: Jamnagar, Gujarat
along the Saurashtra coastal region facing Arabian Sea in the west coast India. The latitude and
longitude of the site is 22°34´1.68"N and 70°2´23.94"E respectively.
The location map showing the Rozi Pier Port facility is presented in below Figure 1.1 and the
Google Map showing the existing Rozi Pier port facility is presented in Figure 1.2.

1.3. Facilities available at Rozi Pier Port
Total 800m long water front available for lighterage working at Rozi Pier Port. Out of that total
500m water front was developed by constructing wharf/Jetty with adequate back up area.
Following berthing facilities were developed by GMB in early 90’s.

1.4. The initiatives
Gujarat Maritime Board had planned and developed port terminal comprises of 800m long
berthing structure with backup area to facilitate cargo handling at Rozi Pier site of Bedi port in
the early 90. Out of 800m long waterfront, only 500m long berthing structure could be
constructed and rest 300m long waterfront was made abandoned by the contractor.
Due to contractual and other issues, the abandoned work remained incomplete and reclamation in
this 300m gap could not be done in time. As can be seen from the layout the reclaimed area on
front side of the gap, which is venerable to open sea and strong current. Moreover, the area is
subjected to continuous phenomena, the smaller particles of reclamations escape from the voids
of the peripheral bund, which adversely affect the reclaimed area and likely to give a way to
settlement elsewhere, which could be the critical situation from safely point of view of the
reclaimed area. It is also a technical requirement to close the gap suitability and fill the area at
present the existing berthing facilities.

1.6. Applicability of CRZ
The proposed projects also attract CRZ Notification on Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) 2011,
which provides Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) and regulating activities i.e. imposing
restrictions on industries, operations and processes in the CRZ area. CRZ is defined as all coastal
stretches of seas, bays, estuaries, creeks, rivers and back waters which are influenced by tidal
action (in the land ward side) up to 500 m from the High Tide Line (HTL) and the land between
the High Tide Line and Low Tide Line (LTL). The HTL means the line on the land up to, which
the highest water line reaches during spring tide. As per CRZ notification it is necessary to
obtain CRZ clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest, New Delhi, prior to any
developmental activity in CRZ area. Rozi Pier Port had been appointed Anna University (MoEF
authorized agency for HTL/LTL demarcation) for the preparation of CRZ map as per the
requirement of CRZ notification, 2011 for obtaining CRZ clearance.
The Results and deliverables as per the CRZ Mapping is as follows:
1. HTL (Creek) with a buffer of 100m and Mangroves with a buffer of 50m.
2. Small portion of Mangroves have been noticed in the southern part of the proposed site.
3. The proposed Marine police, Forest and GMB Jetties as well as proposed back up area and
proposed retaining wall falls in CRZ IVA. The part of the proposed bund is in CRZ IVA and
remaining is in CRZ IB.
4. The proposed retaining wall and CC Block wall are in CRZ IVA. However, the proposed belt
construction is in CRZ IB.
1.7. Site connectivity
Jamnagar is well connected by rail to other districts of the state such as Rajkot, Surat,
Porbandhar, Ahmedabad and Vadodara.
The district also well linked to major Indian cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Varanasi, Uttaranchal and
Jamnagar.
There is a 355 km long coastline in the district with 9 ports. Bedi, Okha and Sikka are
intermediate ports while Salaya, Jodiya, Pindhara, Bet (Dwaraka) are minor ports.
Bedi port is connected by broad gauge railway line with the rest of India. The nearest railway
station is Jamnagar, 7 km away from the Bedi port. A railway siding is available at 2km from the
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
26
port. It is connected to National Highway from Rajkot. Nearest airport is Jamnagar, which is 17
km away from port.
1.8. Legal cases
There are no litigations pending against the project and/or land in which the project is proposed
to be set up.
1.9. Need for the EIA study
The proposed waterfront facility within the existing Rozi Pier Port is falling under the
permissible activities in the CRZ area that attracts section (i)(a) & (f) of CRZ Notification 2011
as, “clearance shall be given for any activity within the CRZ only if it requires waterfront and
foreshore facilities’ and ‘construction and operation for ports and harbors, jetties, wharves,
quays, slipways, ship construction yards, breakwaters, groynes, erosion control measures’.
1.9.1. Study area for EIA
In line with the Standard Terms of Reference (ToR) and additional ToRs prescribed by the
MoEF&CC vide ToR F.no: 10-44/2017-IA-III Dt: 07.09.2017, the study area for this EIA study
is a zone comprising a 10km radius around the proposed project.
1.9.2. Methodology for EIA study
The study area of 10 m radius from the proposed project site was considered for the EIA study,
using the coordinates. For all major environmental components, primary data was generated and
compared with available historical/published information for assessment of various
environmental components to develop Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
Land use pattern was mapped within 10 km radius from the proposed site using GIS II remote
sensing maps. Baseline monitoring program was undertaken during Dec’17 to Feb’18 to
establish the background air quality, ground water quality, soil quality, noise levels, marine
water and sediment quality in the study area. Site specific meteorological data was collected
during study period from the weather station installed at project site. Terrestrial and marine
ecology survey was carried out within the study area during the study period.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD

contractual dispute with GMB and only 100.0m wharf (now operated by M/s Ruchi
Infrastructure in western side) was able to be completed and remaining 300.0m waterfront was
left unattended by the contractor at that time in line with existing pile jetty having length of
400.0m in eastern side. Thus, the proposed landing facility admeasuring 300.0m in water front
length at Rozi Pier which will be created by filling the gap between existing wharf having
100.0m waterfront (Ruchi Infrastructure) and existing pile jetty of 400.0m length. Net filing of
this gap will be 300.0m x 170.0m breath by reclamation in back up and construction of CC
Block wall as waterfront will constitute to 300.0m wharf facility will increase about 1 million
TPA capacities. In fact, this is a proposal to reconstruct a abandoned work of wharf of 300.0m
shall increase cargo handling facility of the terminal of total 400.0m long wharf for 3 MMTA.
2.5. Berthing operation conditions
The bed level along the proposed wharf is about -2m, hence, the barges are plied during high tide
only which are limiting conditions. The extreme conditions loads scenario includes full
wave/wind designated forces with no ship present and with loaded ship.
2.6. Design of the 300m long wharf
Following dimensions of the wharf are given
Length: 300.0m
Width: 8m at foundation base
Structure: PCC Block wharf wall
Maximum Bollard Capacity: 2T
Bollard Spacing: 10 c/c

2.8. Navigation Configuration
Anchorage is about 5 km away from the proposed facility. The proposed construction will be
solid concrete block with rubble back filling. The facility will be capable of loading and
unloading @ 2000 to 2500 DWT dry Cargo through barges. The depth of water at chart datum
along the proposed wharf is 2.5m during all state of tide.
The tidal range if this region is as follows:
Mean higher of spring water 5.94m
Mean higher of neap water 5.39m
Mean lower of spring water 1.89m
Mean lower of neap water 1.04m
Mean sea level 3.60m
The above values are with reference to the Chart Datum of the place in Gulf of Kachchh. The IN
Chart No 2027 is applicable for this area.
2.9. Cargo Potential
If the landing facility at Rozi Pier Port is made operative, annually, total about 3 more million
tons of bauxite may be handled from this facility. GMB and State Government may get revenue
about Rs 10.0 Crores from the cargo handling. Mainly Bauxite, food grains and fertilizers are
handled at Rozi Pier Port. The details of cargo handled at Rozi Pier Port are given in Table 2.4.

The above traffic figure shows the current traffic handling status which is far below the total
traffic handling capacity of the terminal which is about 5 MMTPA for whole 800m but existing
waterfront available is 500.0m (100.0m Ruchi Infrastructure Wharf and 400.0m pile jetty)
leading to 3.5 MMTPA available hence looking to the existing status of handling of cargo as
seen in the above table, it can be said that Cargo handling status is lower than existing capacity
of whole terminal.
So long as 300.0m wharf construction is concerned, it is therefore proposed to increase capacity
of the terminal by 1 to 1.5 MMTPA.
2.10. Port facilities planned
There may be enough numbers of self-propelled and dumb barges having 2000 T capacity
available for carrying out lighterage operation. For unloading the cargo from the barges, grab un-
loaders, the bulk materials are discharged in the barges. Since the location of the Rozi Pier Port
is no human habitation even within the 5 km radius, hence cargo dusting would be temporary
problems are not being complained by any locals however, in case of bauxite and sometime coal
imports, enough water sprinkling is carried out.
2.11. Port connectivity and road networking

network developed to sustain the present and future port traffic. Total 3000m long having black
top surface two lane road with proper lighting arrangement is available. 400.0m long road in
7.50m in width with flexible pavement was developed to connect berthing points. The present
approach road joining the proposed 300.0m CC Block will have enough capacity to
accommodate the trucks traffic as the road is designed and planned for total 800.0m waterfront
facilities.

2.12. Government of India policy for Coastal shipping
At present, Government of India through their Shipping Ministry is promoting Sagar Mala
project in which Coastal Shipping is encouraged. The development & operational activities are in
line with Government of India’s strategic planning, therefore if the landing place is made
operative, which may contribute to handle larger quantity of cargo shipping.
2.13. HTL/LTL Demarcation

4.5. WATER ENVIRONMENT
Water of high quality is essential to human life, and water of acceptable quality is essential for
agricultural, industrial, domestic and commercial uses: in addition, most recreation is water
based; therefore. Major activities having potential effects on surface water are certain to be
appreciable concern to the consumers.
Studies on water environment aspects of ecosystem is important for Environmental Impact
Assessment to identify sensitive issues and take appropriate action by maintaining ‘ecological
homeostasis’ in the early stages of development of the project. The objective of this report is to
define the present environment in which the proposed action is to occur, to evaluate all possible
eventualities, to ensure that all negative impacts are minimized, and to demonstrate that proposed
project has been appropriately announced to all interested parties so that their concerns can be
considered.
The water resources, both surface and groundwater play an important role in the development of
the area. Likewise, the water resources of the area have been studied to establish the current
status of water quality in the area. The parameters of prime importance were selected under
physical, chemical inorganic, chemical organic and heavy metal groups. Water samples from
ground and surface water sources were collected in cans, pre-treated and transported to
laboratory for analysis while taken care for transportation of these samples.
4.5.1. Surface and ground water quality assessment
In order to assess water quality impacts of surface and ground water samples are collected in and
around the proposed project. The samples analyzed for various physical and chemical parameters
to know the contamination levels as per the IS Standards.
1. Ground water quality --- IS 10500-1992
2. Surface/canal/sea water quality --- IS 2296
4.5.2. Selection of Sampling Locations
Sampling locations were selected on basis of;
a) Drainage pattern
b) Location of residential areas respecting different activities
c) Likely areas those can represent baseline conditions
Samples for bacteriological analysis were collected in sterilized glass bottles. Selected physico-
chemical and bacteriological parameters have been analysed for projecting the existing water
quality status in the study area.

4.5.4. Groundwater quality
The pH limit fixed for drinking water samples as per IS: 10500 is 6.5 to 8.5 beyond this range the
water will affect the mucus membrane and or water supply system. During the study period, the
pH of the groundwater was found varying between 7.20 and 8.20. The pH values for all the
samples collected in the study area during study period were found to be within the acceptable
limits. The summary of the ground water quality is given in Table 4.11.
The desirable limit for total dissolved solids as per IS:10500 is 500 milligrams per liter (mg/l)
whereas the permissible limits in absence of alternate source is 2000 mg/l, beyond this
palatability decreases and may cause gastro-intestinal irritation. In groundwater samples collected
from the study area, the total dissolved solids (TDS) were found to be varying between 1485 mg/l
and 2486 mg/l. The TDS of all the samples were within the permissible limit of 2000 mg/l except
at project site (GW3) exceeds the permissible limit.
The desirable limit for Chloride is 250 mg/l as per IS: 10500whereas the permissible limit of the
same is 1,000 mg/l beyond this limit taste, corrosion and patability are affected. The Chloride
levels in the groundwater samples collected in the study area were ranging from 461 – 862 mg/l.
The desirable limit as per IS:10500 for hardness is 300 mg/l whereas the permissible limit for the
same is 600 mg/l. Beyond this limit encrustation in water supply structure and adverse effects on
domestic use will be observed. In the groundwater samples collected from the study area, the
hardness was found to be varying from 300 mg/l to1230 mg/l.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
57
Fluoride is the other important parameter, which has the desirable limit of 1 mg/l and permissible
limit of 1.5 mg/l. However, the optimum content of fluoride in the drinking water is 0.6 to 1.5
mg/l. If the fluoride content is less than 0.6 mg/l it causes dental caries. If it is above 1.5 mg/l it
causes staining of tooth enamel, higher concentration in range of 3-10 mg/l causes fluorosis. In
the groundwater samples of study area, the fluoride values were found to be within a range of
0.01 mg/l to 0.07 mg/l.
All the heavy metals in all samples were found to be below the permissible limits.
An overview of the results obtained reveals that three parameters of TDS, Hardness, were found
above the permissible limits at GW3 samples of IS: 10500 drinking water standards.

4.6. SOIL ENVIRONMENT
Natural resources are important means of subsistence for the communities in the rural area. The
detail about economics resources of important sectors are given here in brief.
As the geographical formation of Saurashtra is of volcanic origin, the soils are generally derived
from the trap rock. The soil found in Jamnagar district can be broadly classified as alluvial,
black, light brown and alkaline. The black or medium black soil and the light brown soil any be
termed as the main soils, while the other two, namely, the alluvial and the alkaline as subsoil of
the district is confined to some smaller patches. While the medium black soil is rich in minerals
and organic matter and, therefore are more fertile. The light brown soil is less fertile and needs
plenty of water and manure for getting good harvest.
The black or medium black soil is found in Dhorl, Kalavad, Jamjodhpur and Bhanvad taluks and
eastern portion of Jamnagar taluka. It is generally seen that soil is 9 to 36 inches in depth. Light
brown soil is also called dharod is found in all taluks but mainly in the western part of the
district, viz., Khambalia, Kalayanpur and Lalpur taluks and western portion of Jamnagar taluka.
Soil types of Jamanagar district is presented in the figure no. 4.6.

4.6.1. Selection of sampling Locations
For studying soil profile of the region, sampling locations were selected to assess the existing
overall soil conditions around the project site. The study of the soil profile establishes the
baseline characteristics and this will help in future for identifying the incremental concentrations
if any, due to the proposed project. The sampling locations have been identified with following
objectives.
a) To determine the baseline soil characteristics of the study area
b) To determine the impact of the project activities on soil characteristics
4.6.2. Sampling and Analytical Techniques
Five sampling locations were selected to assess the existing soil conditions representing various
land use conditions and geological features. At each location, soil samples were collected from
three different depths viz. 30 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm below the surface and are homogenized. This
is in line with IS: 2720 & Methods of Soil Analysis, Part-1, 2nd edition, 1986 of (American
Society for Agronomy and Soil Science). The homogenized samples were analyzed for physical
and chemical characteristics. The soil samples were collected and analyzed once in each
season.The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for physico-
chemical parameters (Table 4.12). Standard soil classification based on ICAR is given in Table

4.6.3. Summary of soil analysis data
The analytical results of the soil samples collected during the study period are summarized
below.
The pH of the soil is an important property; vegetation cannot grow in low and high pH value
soils. The normal range of pHin the soils is 6.0 to 8.5. The pH values in the study area are
varying from 7.40 to 8.04 indicating that the soils are falling slightly alkaline soil.
Based on the electrical conductivity, the soils are classified into four groups (Normal, Critical for
germination, Critical for growth of the sensitive crops, Injurious to most crops). The electrical
conductivity in the study area is varying from 558 to 621 micro-Siemens per centimeter (µS/cm).
This is average for germination
The other important parameters for characterization of soil for irrigation are the primary nutrients
– Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium (N, P, K) and the secondary nutrients—Calcium,
Magnesium and Sulphur(Ca, Mg, S). The primary and secondary nutrient elements are known as
major elements. This classification is based on their relative abundance, and not on their relative
importance.
Nitrogen encourages the vegetative development of plants by imparting a healthy green color to
the leaves. The available Nitrogen as N in the study area is varying from 52.4 to 65.4 kg/ha. This
is less for crops when compared with soil standards.
Phosphorus influences the vigour of plants and improves the quality of crops. In the study area
available, Phosphorus was found in varying quantities of 16.2 to 28.1 kg/ha. This is an less level
when compared to soil standards.
Potassium enhances the ability of the plants to resist diseases, insect attacks, cold and other
adverse conditions. The available potassium in the study area varies between 48.5 to 52.4 mg/kg.
This is less level for crops.
Organic Carbon in the study area ranges from 0.06 to 0.13%. This is very less level for crops.
Based on the above results, the soils in the region are average fertile enough for cultivation of
crops.

4.7. NOISE ENVIRONMENT
The noise problem is said to exist when the sound level in the air causes interference in human
activities such as disturbance in sleep, work and speech communication leading to annoyance.
Perception of noise by individuals varies depending on number of factors such as natural
sensitivity/hearing ability, level of exposure, time of noise at community level can have different
effects varying from aesthetic impairment such as annoyance, frequent hypertension to as high as
loss of hearing. The health impact of noise on individual depends on several factors, viz, physical
dose (intensity of sound pressure level and duration of exposure), frequency spectrum,
intermittency etc., as well as human factors like age, health condition, occupational exposure etc.
Assessment of noise impacts and the significance of any impacts as a result of development are
dependent upon the number of factors such as the ambient or background noise levels in the
vicinity of the site, the type of development and its operating characters. Therefore noise
monitoring was carried out to identify and quantify so far as reasonably possible the ambient
condition to assess the increase in noise levels and causes of variability of noise levels as a result
of ongoing project activities.
4.7.1. Identification of sampling locations
Noise at different generating sources has identified based on the activities in the village area,
ambient noise due to industries and traffic and the noise at sensitive areas. A detailed survey on
noise environment was carried in and around the project site to study the levels of noise, as the
high dB (A) levels may cause adverse effect on human beings and associated environment,
including structures, domestic animals and natural ecological systems. The locations were
identified keeping in view the land use pattern and environmental setting. Spot noise levels were
measured using a precision noise level meter at eight locations within study zone.
4.7.2. Methodology
The monitoring was carried out at each location for a period of 24hrs, once during the study
period. The locations were identified keeping in view the land use pattern and environmental
setting. The day levels of noise have been monitored during 6 am to 10 pm and the night levels
during 10 pm to 6 am. The Ld, Ln and Ldn were calculated based on the hourly Leq values. Spot
noise levels were measured using a precision noise level meter at residential areas, industrial
areas and commercial centres etc., in all eight locations which were covered with in study
zone(Table 4.16). The noise levels include vehicular movement and local activities.Noise levels

4.8. GEOMORPHOLOGY
Physiographically the district can be divided into the following units: Hilly areas
and Coastal & alluvial Plains.
Jamnagar, Jodiya, Khambaliya and Kalyanpur talukas are characterised by plain
topography, whereas Jam Jodphur, Lalpur and Bhanwad talukas are characterised by
hilly terrains. Cliffs are found in the Dwarka taluka with height upto 30m. Barda, Alech,
Gop etc are famous hill ranges in the district. Mount Venu is the highest summit of
Barda hills that attains a height of 617.1 metres. Okha Rann is a low-lying marshy area.
Low coastal dunes and sand banks run along the north and west coasts. Jamnagar,
Jodiya and Kalyanpur are plain areas. Geologically the study area mainly comprises of tertiary
rocks, Cretaceous rocks, Deccan trap and quaternary sediments. The geology of the Jamnagar
district is represented in the Figure 4.9.

4.9. SEISMICITY AND ASSOCIATED HAZARDS
The Gujarat region is one of the most seismic prone intra-continental regions of the world. The
Jamnagar region falls in zone V. Based on tectonic features and records of past earthquakes, a
seismic zoning map of India has been prepared by a committee of experts under the auspices of
Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS Code: IS: 1893: Part I 2002). In this seismic zoning map, the
project area lies in Zone V i.e very high risk zone area liable to shaking intensity IX and above.

4.10. HYDROGEOLOGY
Hydrogeologically the district area can be broadly grouped under hard rock’s comprising
“Deccan traps” and soft rocks comprising “Tertiaries and Alluvium”. Nearly 80% of the area is
underlain by Deccan Traps, 19% by the Teriaries and the rest by Alluvium. Hydrogeological
conditions in various lithounits are described below:
a) Deccan Traps (Hard rock)
These are essentially basaltic flows having general horizontal to near horizontal disposition over
large area. The basaltic flows do not have any primary porosity in the lower massive portion, but
the top vesicular portion has some porosity because of the vesicles formed due to escaping gases.
Both massive and vesicular portions have no primary permeability, as the vesicules are seldom
interconnected. The secondary porosity and permeability developed due to fracturing and
jointing provides passage for infiltration, storage and movement of groundwater. The weathered
zone extends to about 20m bgl in the surface flows. Weathered flow contacts extend to greater
depths. The permeability of these zones are further intensified by fracturing and jointing. These
interflow zones and fractured and jointed zones have given rise to stratified aquifer system,
which is responsible for occurrence of water even at greater depths. Weathering of basalts, which
extends down to 20m and the fractured basalts beneath the weathered mantle have given rise to
water table aquifers down to 40 m bgl. The depth of water level in the area ranges from 3.30 m
bgl to 25.40 bgl during the pre-monsoon period while during the post monsoon the water level
ranges from 0.06 to 17.50 m bgl. The yields of the wells tapping weathered basalts are in the
range of 20-100m3/day. Those in which interflow zones have been tapped 100-400m3/day. The
bore wells drilled in the district have yields ranging from 100 to 500m3/day.
b) Gaj Beds
Groundwater in these series occurs both under confined and water table conditions. The upper
granular bed of the series consisting of limestone and grits forms a good aquifer for shallow
groundwater. Dug wells and dug-cum bore wells within the depth range of 20-25 mbgl are
constructed. The depth of water level in the Gaj aquifer ranges from 5 to 15 m bgl during pre-
monsoon period. The yield of the wells varies from 4 to 312 m3/day and an average yield of
66m3/day.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
72
c) Dwarka Beds
Groundwater mainly occurs under water table condition; because of the clayey nature of the
formations and the narrow stretch of sandy limestone exposed to recharge the rocks of this
formation are poor aquifers. The depth of the water level in the Dwarka beds ranges from 2 to 10
m bgl during pre-monsoon period. Dug wells and dug-cum bore wells within the depth range of
20-35 mbgl are constructed. The yield of the wells varies from 8 to 270 m3/day and an average
yield of 80m3/day.
d) Milliolite Series
Groundwater occurs under phreatic conditions. These milliolite limestone acts as a good
reservoir for shallow groundwater. The depth of water level in milliolite limestones is generally
about 5m bgl. Open wells are about 10m in depth. The yield of these wells ranges from 100-
200m3/day.
e) Alluvium
Groundwater occurs under unconfined conditions. The thickness of the alluvium is not more than
20m. Because of its clayey nature, percolation of rainwater is very poor resulting in poor yields.
The depth of water level ranges from 2 to 10m bgl (Premonsoon). The yield of these wells hardly
exceeds 100m3/day.
4.10.1Depth to Water Level
The depth to water level in the district ranges from 1.74 to 38.41mbgl during the pre-monsoon
period with 75% of the stations showing water level less than 10m (Figure.2). Salaya village has
recorded the shallowest water level whereas the deepest water level was recorded at Lalpur
village. During the post monsoon period the depth to water level ranged from 2.05mbgl at
Amran village to 56.25 mbgl at Lalpur village with about 60% of the station showing water level
less than 10m (Figure 4.11).

4.10.2Long Term Water Level Trend
Analysis of the long-term groundwater level trend for 10 years (2003-2012) of the district reveals
that rise in groundwater level predominant throughout the district. Long term rise in water level
during the pre-monsoon period ranged from 0.0016 to 1.47m/yr while the fall ranged from
0.0009 to 0.62 m/yr. The highest rise was recorded at Bhatia village while the highest fall was
recorded at Moti Matli Village. The long term water level fluctuation for the Post monsoon
period also reveals that rise in water level ranged from 0.011 to 0.73m/yr while fall recorded in
the district ranged from 0.017 to 1.42m/yr. Modpar village recorded the highest rise during the
post monsoon period whereas Lalpur village recorded the highest fall.

4.11.BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
4.11.1 Introduction
Ecology is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each
other and their natural environment. Producer, consumer and decomposer govern whole cycle of
ecology. Plant and animal both are interdependent to each other. Producer is necessary for each
consumer. Plant plays their role in ecology as producer. Plant, animals and microorganism
together with the environment in which they live make an independent unit called
ecosystem.Mainly two types of vegetation cover are on the earth surface. One is self-growing
and another is cultivated. Plants are renewable resource and useful to living organism in many
ways. It is therefore the role of man in manipulating and changing vegetation population.
Ecological assessment is an activity that results in documenting the ecological status of an area,
species inhabiting the area, their ecological and conservational requirements etc. It is a
fundamental and important component of Ecological Impact Assessment (EIA) and essentially
generates baseline data and information on an area. Environmental / Ecological Impact
Assessment are a process to be conducted prior to executing a large-scale project. All such
projects are likely to have impacts on the environment; more or less coextensive to factors such
as the magnitude of the project, the activities involved, resources utilized, and wastes, emissions
and effluents. Ecological Impact Assessment is a method of identifying, quantifying and
evaluating the potential impact of defined action on ecosystems or their components. During the
process of the assessment scientific information about the ecological makeup of the natural
system in and around the project location has to be collected. A scientific documentation of the
baseline data is vital to develop a general perception about the project and its impacts. This is
necessary to help developing a long term and strategy for management of the area specially the
habitats by identifying the means to mitigate the possible impacts of the activities proposed to be
undertaken in the area. This would in turn help to bring back the local environmental setup and
ecological goods and services more or less close to its original state, and facilitate decision-
making on the project basically on evaluating the trade-offs between the loss of environmental
quality, environmental services and the goods and services offered by the project. The Biological
Environment studies conducted by Andhra University and the letter attached as Annexure-2.

4.11.3 Ecologically Sensitive Zone
4.11.3.1 The Gulf of Kutch Marine National Park and Sanctuary
The Gulf of Kutch Marine National Park and Sanctuary (MNPS) was established by a set of
State notifications during the period 1980 to 1982 in an area of 457.92 sq km along the coast of
Saurashtra in the southern Gulf of Kutch (22° 15' to 23° 40' N to 68° 20' to 70° 40' E).
Designated first as a Sanctuary in 1980, certain areas covering the islands and inter-tidal zones
were declared as National Park areas during the same year. A final Notification of the Protected
Areas (PA)was issued in 1982. The Gulf of Kutch MNPS has been classified as part of the West
Coast Biotic Province by the Wildlife Institute of India (WII), Dehradun.
The notified area includes 148.92 sq km of 42 islands in the Gulf and 309 sq km of intertidal
zone along its coast. Out of the notified areas, an area of 162.89 sq km is designated as National
Park area while the remaining is scanty land. The National Park area covers 37 islands while
sanctuary area covers five islands as well as the inter-tidal zone from Navlakhi to Okha.
According to the Notification, the revenue borders of Dwarka (Okha), Kalyanpur, Khambalia,
Lalpur, Jamnagar, Dhrol and Jodiya taluks of Jamnagar District mark the southern boundary of
the marine protected area (MPA).
Three categories of areas are included within the MNPS: 11.82 sq km of reserves forests, 347.90
sq km of unclassified forests and 98.2 sq km of Indian territorial waters. Since the PAs were
constituted under the jurisdiction of the State’s Forest Department.
The MNPS supports considerable species diversity. One study reported a total of 1127 species of
flora and fauna in the MPA. These include molluscs, oysters, turtles and marine mammals which
are dolphins, whales, and the rare and endangered sea cow, Dugong dugon. A recent study
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
76
recorded 144 different fish varieties in the MNPS areas and also 27 species of commercially
important Crustaceans.
The MNPS was initially established for the conservation and protection of a rich and diverse
ecosystem, particularly the inter-tidal and sub-tidal coral reefs and mangrove habitats of the
Gulf. Since 1991, coral reefs and mangroves have additionally been accorded the highest degree
of protection under the 1991 Coastal Regulatory Zone (CRZ) Notofication. Coral reefs and
mangroves have great ecological significance; both increase shore stability, offer protection
against tidal surges, and are the breeding grounds of a host of fishes, crustaceans, algae and other
forms of marine life. Indeed, the decline in corals and mangroves is correlated with a general
decline in the diversity and quantum of marine life.
4.11.4. Study area
The Rozi Pier Port situated in the marine national park on the west cost of India, Gujarat. The
buffer has unique ecosystems like coral reefs and mangroves as it southern coast and mangroves
at selected locations along the northern coast, and has tidal amplitude ranging from 3-8m. The
developmental activities like construction of ports and human interventions like mining corals,
destruction of mangroves to expand the salt pan activities etc., have extensively damaged the
corals and mangroves in the region. Due to its proximity to the Arabian Gulf, the proposed area
attracts establishment of facilities like ports, Single Point Mooring (SPM) stations for handling
large amount of crude oil. The region was notified as a Marine National Park and Sanctuary in
1982. The buffer area occupied by saltpans, Navy quarters and some parts of Jamnagar town and
invasive species of Prosopis juliflora.
Mangrove forests are extensive along the coastal belt of Jamnagar District occupying an area of
141 km2 as dense forests; dominant species being Avicennia with almost pure stands at place.
Mangroves are dominated by Avicenniamarina and are of fringing type in regularly inundated
zones along the water ways. The stray plants of Rhizophora mucronata also occur among
Avicennia stands. Salvadora persica commonly occur in the supralittoral regions towards the
high tide area. Sesuvium portulacastrum is common at the high tide line along the creeks. Beds
of Salicornia brachiata commonly habit the areas inland of regularly inundated zones or above
the mean high tide line. The Salicornia stands are denser towards waterways and become sparse
in saline banks. Suaeda maritima is sparsely distributed in the saline bank regions.

The proposed project doesn’t contain any mangrove vegetation. Overall assessment indicates that
the site proposed for the development falls under the category of offshore area. The study area

4.14.5. TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY
This assessment identifies and evaluatesthe potential effects of the proposed project on terrestrial
ecology. Ecosystem consists of living and non-living components that interact through the
exchange of energy, nutrients, and waste. Ecosystems are dynamic and can be identified at
multiple, overlapping scales, ranging from types of site-specific plant communities to broad-
scale eco-regions. This assessment focuses on groups of site-specific plant communities (forest
and non-forest), which are typically characterized by unique plant species composition,
vegetation structure and landscape position which differ in the type, quality, and quantity of
functions they provide.
4.14.6. Methodology
4.14.6.1. Floral survey
The latitude and longitude of the site is 22°34´1.68"N and 70°2´23.94"E respectively. Extensive
field surveys were conducted from January 2018 to March 2018, adopting standard methods to
identify and document the ecological/biological components. However, in view of the study area
falling under the jurisdiction of the Marine National Park, Gujarat forest department. At first, a
pilot survey was carried out in and around the 10 km radius of the proposed project to develop a
feel of the area and to identify intensive sampling sites. Thus we selected four representative
areas for intensive studies.
To study the flora of the study area in general and to estimate the tree density in particular,
quadrats of 25 × 25 m size laid adopting more or less the strategy of cluster sampling. In total 24
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
79
such quadrats were laid to represent mangrove vegetation during the present study. The Girth at
breast height (GBH) of trees (having GBH >20cm) occurring in the 25 × 25 m plot were
recorded (Fig 3.1) All species encountered during the surveys, whether in or out of the quadrats,
were also recorded. Information on flora available in previous works was also included with
appropriate citations. Taxonomic identification of the species encountered in the field was done
consulting the Flora of British India and Flora of the Gujarat States. Specimens of unidentified
plants were preserved in 10% formaldehyde and brought to the Department of Botany, Andhra
University for further identification by experts. The nomenclature followed in the present study
was based on the Flora of Gujarat State. Endemic status of certain species was checked with the
help of relevant literatures. Species threatened category was checked with the help of IUCN Red
list category version 3.1.
The vegetation data were analyzed to obtain the quantitative structure and composition of plant
communities. Synthetic characters of the forest vegetation such as species richness and diversity
of species in the stands were estimated (Table 4.18). The vegetation data tabulated as frequency,
density, abundance, relative frequency, relative density, relative abundance, relative dominance,
IVI and composition of plant communities.

4.14.6.2. Faunal survey
The survey of fauna in the study area was conducted following widely used and standard
methods (Table 4.18). Visual encounter survey method (search) was adopted for amphibians and
reptiles whereas opportunistic observation and random walk method were followed for birds.
The survey of mammals was done by through indirect evidence i.e. tracks and signs, and visual
encounters. Species were identified by direct evidences such as pugmarks, calls, signs and scats.
Information pertaining to the existence of migratory corridors and breeding habitats of fauna
were recorded based on the information provided by forest department personnel. The
conservation status of each faunal species recorded from the project areas were ascertained as per
schedules of Indian wildlife (protection) Act, 1972 and IUCN -Red Data Book categories (RDB).

In view of the need for conservation of environmental quality and biodiversity, study of
biological environment is one of the most important components for environmental impact
assessment. Ecological system shows inter relationship between biotic and abiotic components
including dependences, competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprise of both plants
and animal communities.
Generally biological communities are the indicator of climatic conditions. Biological
communities are dependent on environmental condition and resource of its distribution and
survival. If there any change in the environmental variable like temperature, humidity, rainfall,
soil characteristics, topography etc., responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of the
environment.
The species of flora and fauna in the environment are organized into natural communities with
mutual dependencies and show various responses and sensitivities to anthropogenic influences.
The changes in biotic community are studied in the pattern of distribution, abundance and
diversity.

4.15.LAND USE/LAND COVER
4.15.1 Introduction
As per our seeking towards areas of critical concern for environmental control such as flood
plains and wetlands, energy resource development and production areas, wildlife habitat,
recreational lands and areas such as major residential and industrial development sites, we
require the analysis of Land Use Land Cover for establishing / Expansion of an Industry. The
survey and studies of past several years conclude that the Remote Sensor data is acquiring a vital
area in the field of land use and land cover mapping. The knowledge of Land Use/ Land Cover is
important for many planning and management activities as it is considered as an essential
element for modeling and understanding the earth system. The term Land Use relates to the
human activity or economic function associated with a specific piece of Land, while the term
Land Cover relates to the type of feature present on the surface of the earth (Lillesand and
Kiefer, 2000).
Land use maps are presently being developed from local to National to Global Scales. The
satellite Remote Sensing technology has found its acceptance worldwide for rapid resource
assessment and monitoring, particularly in the developing world. National Aeronautical and
Space Administration (NASA) of USA has made most significant contribution with Satellite
based Remote Sensing Techniques. Since 1972, after the Landsat-1 has launched, remote sensing
technology and its application has undergone a tremendous change in terms of sensing
development, aerial flights with improved sensors, satellite design development and operations
including data reception, processing and interpretation and utilization of satellite images. All
these advancements have widened the applicability of Remotely Sensed data in various areas,
like forest cover, vegetation type mapping, and their changes in regional scale. If satellite data is
judiciously used along with the sufficient ground data, it is possible to carry out detailed forest
inventories, monitoring of land use and vegetation cover at various scales.
4.15.2 Study Area
This proposed expansion project site is located at Rozi Pier Port (Gujarat Maritime Board). The
latitude and longitudes as observed in the site by GPS are 22°34´1.68"N / 70°2´23.94"E. The
Location is given in Figure 3.12 and satellite image of the site enclosed.

[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
99
Collection of source data of SOI toposheets. These are the main inputs for the preparation
of essential layers.
Satellite data of IRS P6 LISSIV sensor is geometrically corrected and enhanced using
principal component method and Nearest Neighborhood resampling technique.
Preparation of basic themes like layout map, transport & settlement map and contour map
from the source data. Then updating of layout map, transport map and drainage map from
the satellite image by visual interpretation.
Essential maps (related to natural resources) like Land use / Land cover map are prepared
by visual interpretation of the satellite imagery. Visual interpretation is carried out based
on the image characteristics like tone, size, shape, pattern, texture, location, association,
background etc. in conjunction with existing maps/ literature.
Preliminary quality check and necessary corrections are carried out for all the maps
prepared.
All the maps prepared are converted into soft copy by digitization of contours and
drainages. In that process editing, labeling, mosaicing, quality checking, data integration
etc are done, finally Land use areas are measured in Square Kilometers.

of options in unsupervised classification options.
Created the signature file by selecting the more samples of different features with AOI on
Unsupervised classification image.
Visual interpretation and supervised classification mixed with recoding practice.
Gone through the QC / QA and finalized the data.
4.15.9.Spatial Data from SOI Topographical Sheets
Creating a GIS spatial database is a complex operation, and is the heart of the entire work; it
involves data capture, verification and structuring processes. Because raw geographical data are
available in many different analogue and digital form such as toposheets, aerial photographs,
satellite imageries and tables. Out of all these sources, the source of toposheets is of much
concern to natural resource scientist and an environmentalist.
In the present study, the essential maps generated from SOI topographical maps. Using the
topographical maps, the drainage map and contour Map were also developed. The maps are
prepared to a certain scale and with attributes complying with the requirement of TOR. The
location of entities on the earth’s surface is then specified by means of an agreed co-ordinate
system. For most GIS, the common frame of co-ordinate system used for the study is UTM co-
ordinates system. All the maps are first Geo-referenced. The same procedure is also applied on
remote sensing data before it is used to prepare the essential maps.

methodologies applied and also sampling techniques used for better results.
During classification in ERDAS & ArcGIS software’s found some doubtful locations which are
marked separately and verified those areas during ground truth validations.
Below are some of the details during ground truth validations.
Land uses classes are interpreted from the satellite image and same is been cross checked with
ground, in order to meet the accurate feature classes firstly verified highways and found no major
changes. Secondly verified the settlements around 10km buffer from the project site and found
no changes on the ground. Verified the water bodies and found no major changes. Verified
plantation and scrub land found that there is no much change. Verified Agricultural Fallow land
and fallow land found bit change on the ground due to seasonal variations i.e fallow land is
changed from 3.1 to 3.01% and Agricultural Fallow land was changed from 3.9% to 4.01%
(Table 4.27).
Above changes have been updated in the final Land use map, Land use statistics and report.

4.15.14.Impacts& Mitigation Measures:
The proposed plant in Coast area consist of Built-up area, greenery, BT/CC roads area, Parking
area and Open / lawn area etc., which is under possession of project proponent. Hence, there are
no R&R issues involved in the proposed expansion project as it is industrial area.
There is no ecologically sensitive area within 10km of radial distance from proposed project
boundary. No wildlife sanctuaries, National parks, Tiger or elephant reserves exist in 10km
radius. Also no migration route of avifauna presents in 10 km radius.
No land cutting or filling activity is involved during construction / operation of the plant as the
site is mostly plain land and hence the land degradation is not envisaged
As mentioned, no site levelling and grading activities are involved in the project site. However,
the following measures will be adopted for management of local land use:
As soon as construction is completed, the surplus soil if any will be utilized to fill up the low
lying areas, the rubbish is to be cleared and all un-built surfaces be reinstated.

4.16. SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
4.16.1. Overview
The socio economic study includes the processes of analysing, monitoring and managing the
intended and unintended social consequences, both positive and negative aspects. The socio-
economic baseline on demographic patterns, economic and livelihood profile and infrastructure
facilities, community perception and mitigation measures in the study area. Based on the data is
compiled in this section, the impact assessment will predict and evaluate any potential impacts of
the proposed project on the local community, livelihoods and other social systems.
The study area presented in the socio-economic baseline comprises of the following:
Proposed project location – within the limits of Rozi Pier Port, Jamnagar, Gujarat, India
Profile of settlements within a radius of 10 km around the proposed project location.
To identify the impact of socioeconomic factors and mitigating measure within the study
areas.
Public awareness and their concern about theproject.
The socio-economic baseline has been prepared on the basis of a review of available secondary
sources of information as well as primary consultations in the locality of the project area. I
addition to this, a sample survey of 100 people has also been undertaken to assess their and
awareness and perceptions about the proposed project.
4.16.2. DemographicStructure
The total population of Jamnagar district is 2160119 and it constitutes 3.57 percent of total
population of Gujarat State. Jamnagar taluka is most populated having 8,51,948 persons. Urban

future as per trend seen in the last decade. The child sex ratio is also higher (904) than the state
average of 890. The rural-urban distribution of population shows that the district has a slightly
higher percentage (44.95%) of households staying in urban locations when compared with state
average (42.6%). The urban population growth during the last decade had been 1.1% which is
lower than Gujarat Urbanization (5.2 %). In Jamnagar district, scheduled caste population is
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
113
higher than the state average (7.09 %), whereas the S.T Population is meagre (1.12%) than the
state average of 14.75%.
In rural areas of Jamnagar of the total 230295 households, 16.24% households get tap water from
treated source, 66.74% households get from covered source and 17.02 % get from un-covered
sources. In urban locations of the district, for drinking water there are various sources. About
63.82 households get tap water supplied from treated sources, 29.95 % get water from covered
sources and the rest 6.24 % from uncovered sources. In rural areas about 34.83 % households
having latrine facilities within the premises. The scenario in the urban location however shows
better situation. About 83.82% households have latrine facilities within their premises. In

4.16.3. Literacy & Education
The overall literacy in Jamnagar stood at 73.65 percent, while the male literacy and female
literacy stood at 81.50 and 65.33 respectively in 2011. Moreover, the overall gap between male
and female literacy has been 16.18 in 2011 in Jamnagar. While the gap between male and female
literacy in rural area has been 18.77 in 2011, whereas the gap between male and female literacy
in urban area has been 12.90 in 2011. In, Jamnagar the total number of schools has increased
during last decade. In primary education, most of the schools (82.45%) are administered by local
bodies.
Student enrolments in Jamnagar depicts fluctuating trend at primary level and at upper primary
level during last few years. The Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) at primary level for Boys & Girls in
Jamnagar has increased. The NER for Boys increased from 88.62 (2003-04) to 98.31 (2013-14),
while NER for Girls has improved from 85.49 (2003-04) to 97.09 (2013-14).
The dropout Rate in Class 1-5 decreased from 6.56 in 2009-10 to 2.12 in 2013-14. There has
been an impressive upturn in the retention rate from 70.60% (2002-03) to 84.60%(2011-12).
The Student Teacher Ratio in the district is 26:1 (2013-14) which is within the standard set as per
the national goals i.e. 33:1. The schools in Jamnagar district show improvement in terms of
bettering the ratio of Female teachers at the primary level. In 2004-05, Female to Male teacher
ratio was 0.92:1 which increased to 1.04:1 in 2011-12. This likely to improve the retention of
girls at the lower level and also diminish drop outs.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
115
During past one decade, huge amount of resources has been spent by the Government to better
the Student Classroom Ratio by increasing the number of classrooms in each of the existing
schools. As a result, this ratio decreased to 22:1 (2013-14) from 29:1 (2009-10) at primary level.
The number of Schools runs by private institutions and individuals has seen a two hold increase
during the last one decade. There has also been a corresponding increase in the enrolment in
these schools (+75 %). As a result of Sarva Shiksha Abhiyan (SSA), all (100%) the secondary
schools are equipped with the physical amenities like electricity, drinking water, sanitation and
playground.
To reduce the cost of expenditure on parents and to attract students to the schools, Government is
providing incentives in the form of Text Book, Uniform, and Stationery etc. to students.
4.16.4. Health
As per Census 2011, Sex ratio of the Jamnagar district (939) has declined marginally as
compared to Census 2001, but it is far better that the Sex ratio of the State (919). Child Sex ratio
of Jamnagar (904) has shown a sign of improvement as compare to previous decade (898). The
pace of decadal growth rate of population has also shown a slowed down which is a good sign
for the district that ever increasing population is now showing some sign of deceleration. The
natural rate of growth of population (NRGP) is lower than the State average which implies that
the district is expected to experience relatively rapid demographic transition along with economic
development as compare to the Stateaverage.
Jamnagar district is well equipped with Health Infrastructure but availability of Health Personal
is not adequate. Most of the CHC in the district is absent of specialist doctors. Situation is almost
same for Hospitals also. BOR of the District hospital & mental hospital are 56 per cent and 63
per cent respectively, which implies they are notoverburdened.
During the year 2012-13, about 88 per cent of pregnant women of rural areas of the district have
received 3 check-ups while for urban areas the figure is only around 80 per cent. In terms of
Institutional Delivery, the district has achieved considerable success. During 2012-13, district
reported institutional delivery at rural areas about 91 per cent and for urban areas it is around 95
per cent. Almost all talukas have reported institutional delivery around 90 percent during 2011-
12. Child immunization performance for the district is also remarkable. During 2012-13, around
99 per cent of children have been immunized fully. With respect to new born care also, the
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
116
district performance is better than the overall State performance. Similarly, in terms of
malnourished children the district performance is appreciable. Jamnagar is having only 12 per
cent underweight children (0M-6Y) as against 19 per cent for State and only 1 per cent severely
underweight children till March2014.
4.16.5. Livelihood
The livelihood is very much dependent on natural and economic endowments and institutional
arrangements. Agriculture holds significant position in the economy of Jamnagar District.
Almost 48.56% of working population is engaged in agriculture sector out of which 64.23% are
cultivators and 35.77% are agricultural labourers. The total reported area of Jamnagar is about 10
Lakh hectares, of which 3.20% is forest, 10.96% is under non-agricultural use and 5.38% is
grazingland. % of Cropping Intensity in the district increased from 113.52 in 2005-06 to 124.05
in 2010-11. The agricultural land in the district is distributed across 211629 farmers and
institutions (2010- 11). The average land holding of the district in the year 2010-11 is around
3.79 ha and the range is between 0.61 to 24.05 ha.
Productivity is an important determinant of return to the farmers which has bearing on their
livelihood. The district shows a dominance of cash crops (oil seed and lint) over the food crops
(cereal and pulse). The reason is that, the preference for the high value crop (cotton, groundnut)
got introduced through the extension services of public and private players.
Government canals and Wells are the main sources of irrigation within the district. The total net
irrigated area of the district is about a fourth of the total land put to agriculture. The area under
irrigation increases from 24.36% in 2005-06 to 42.88% in 2007-08. Work Participation Rate
(WPR) in the district has marginally increased from 38.56% in 2001 to 39.23% in 2011. In one
decade, Male WPR has increased nearly about 4% whereas female WPR has decreased by 2%.
Agricultural labourers have increased from 14.40% to 17.37% in last decade.
Fisheries and marine resources constitute another important source of livelihood in the coastal
talukas. The sea coast is the main source of fisheries in Jamnagar. The fishing population is
found in Jamnagar, Khambhalia, Okhamandal, Jodia and Kalyanpur talukas only. During 2006-
07, 2181 mechanized and 407 non – mechanized boats were active for fishing. They landed
approximately 67,146 Metric Tons of marine fish production in2011-12.
Jamnagar district caters over 70% of the country’s requirement for brass parts supply. Salt
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
117
industry is well developed with around 17 salt work unit operational in the district. 34,000 people
get employment in Micro, Small and Medium enterprises(MSME).
4.16.6. Community perception
A primary perception survey was conducted to predict the intended and unintended
consequences in the study area. A method of survey was administered for this study. In this
connection, samples of 100 participants are participated from the villages of bed,Naghedi Matva,
Chnadraga, Bavariay have been collected by covering various (See table -) age groups,
communities, gender, educational qualification, nature of work, economical status and other
major variable. in this connection, respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the
project and also of their opinion about the impacts of the project which is an important aspect of
socioeconomic environment viz. job opportunities, education, health care, housing,
transportation facility and economic status. Apart from the demographical and other primary
information, the survey questionnaire was focused on 41 items with 6 major dimensions such as:
1) Economical; 2) Public Infrastructure and services; 3) Social/cultural; 4) Environmental; 5)
Health and well-being 6) Psychological/personal.

of Community Health Centre (CHC) and Community Medical Centre (CMC), as shown in Plates
3.6.3 and 3.6.4.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
119
4.16.13. EconomicAttributes
Economic attributes mainly depend upon its economically active group i.e., the working
population involved in the productive work. Work may be defined as participation in any
economically productive activity. Such participation may be physical or mental in nature. It also
includes unpaid work on farm or in family enterprise.
The majority of workers belongs to the category of main other workers 13721, 2358 main
cultivators, 1469 main agriculture whereas, main household are found to be149
There are 17707 (29.85%) main worker, 1152 (1.94%) marginal worker and non-worker
39649 (66.84%).
4.16.14.Health Status
Government health institutions are divided into four categories district level, rural hospital,
primary health center and subcenters. A district hospital typically has a major health care facility
in the region, with large numbers of beds for intensive care and long-term care; and specialized
facilities for surgery, plastic surgery, childbirth and laboratory facilities which are available to
the public.
PHCs remain the first contact between village community and medical officer. Medical officer is
supported by 14 paramedical and other staffs. It acts as a referral unit for 6 sub centers. It has 4-6
beds for patients.
The sub-center is the most peripheral health unit and first contact point between the primary
health center system and the community. Each sub-center has one female health worker, one
female assistant and one health assistant to supervise the six-sub center.
During discussion with the district Medical officer of Jamnagar, it was found that the general
prevailing diseases in the project region are malaria, diarrhea, dysentery and viral fever. The
health problems as reported could be attributed due to improper sanitation, mosquito nuisance
and water logging in the villages.
4.16.15. Cultural and AestheticAttributes
The Jamnagar district has a range of tourist attractions such as beaches, cliffs, parks on the
hilltop facing the sea, long drives along the beach road, a zoological park, a submarine museum,
hill stations, limestone caves and mountain ranges, all within 100 km from the city.

4.16.16. Community perception and impact of various domains
People are not aware about this project. Remaining (19%) people said that there are aware about
this project from friend and family members.
4.16.17. Economical Impact
This area focuses on respondents’ perception on economical impact. In this connection, the items
of increasing of land, labour cost, overall income and other related questions were incorporated.
The major construction activities for the proposed project will include mainly wall construction
& other associated outlets and mechanical erection. These construction materials to be used will
involve raw materials which are non‐hazardous in nature such as steel, cement, gravel, rock,
earth etc. Other requirements of the construction will be a usage of i) construction equipment ii)
transportation vehicles iii) skilled and unskilled labour. This proposal would mean development
of this area on lines with progressive policy of Govt. ofGujarat, The proponent has planned to
recruit numbers of skilled, semi‐skilled and unskilled manpower during the construction phase
and indirect employment through contracts for civil construction, mechanical erection,
electrification, piping works and associatedamenities During the construction phase, the
proposed project is expected to employ about 100 people of various skills which would mean
income to about 100people. During project implementation, demand for goods and services
required for project will either directly or indirectly contribute the growth of other sectors such
as cement, Steel, heavy and light engineering industries, automobile sectors, construction
equipment manufacturing industries, transport sector and otherservices
However, the proposed jetty is located at onshore. Hence, it may have an impact on fisheries
communities, those who are depended on fishing related activates. Another side, Ship traffic may
disturb pleasure boat cruising and fishery boat operations.
4.16.18. Social & Cultural impacts
This domain focused on social and cultural aspect like, effect of migration, culture, social norms,
and other major aspect. It was observed that social aspects the people who are living in study
area need not be relocated their place because the proposed project is located on sea shore and
this proposed project is already existed and one of the oldest ports in Jamnagr. As a part a
development of the project, its going for expansion. However, during construction process,
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
121
outside the people need to be in-migrating on temporary and permanent bases. Even though,
there will not be impact on social and cultural norms. Most of the responded said there would be
no impact on their cultural and tradition, no break ups in cohesion and differences in social and
cultural norms due to this project because most of the communities in the Jamnagar are directly
and indirectly depended on port related profession.
4.16.19. Health & wellbeing impacts
This dimension focused into the impact of health and wellbeing due to proposed project. In this
connection, the questions related to health are raised like; any chronic diseases, effect on next
generation, medical dependence with this project. Majority of the people responded that there
would not be any health impact due to this project. From negative points of view, it was
generally observed the following impacts: In case of leakage of Oil and oily wastes discharged
from ships may reach nearby beaches and spoil recreational activities, which cause serious
damage to fisheries and tourism.
4.16.20. Public infrastructure & services
This dimension covered the public infrastructure and services related items, in this connection,
the proposed project has more faculties with public infrastructure and services, hence, People in
the study area have high expectations from the potential of improvement in new roads, public
infrastructure in the immediate vicinity of the project area. Jamnagar has many infrastructures
like black top roads, railway, medical facilities, schools, colleges and banks. Due to enhancement
of works in this site, it gives more development in related to infrastructure.
4.16.21. Psychological and personal Impact
Personal and psychological impact is related to perception towards this project. i.e., attitude on
project, benefits for you and your village and fear of losing your goal with this project and other
major personal and psychological aspects. It was noticed that most (72%) of the respondents
believed that this project enhances their quality of life due to social and economical growth.
They said that increasing of land and labour cost, employment generation and other civic
amenities will generate positive attitude for individual and community people.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
122
4.16.22. Other Impact Factors of Socio-Economic Environment
4.16.22.1. Construction Phase
During the construction phase, the movement of construction equipment, machineries may pose
the risk of accidents and injuries. As per the existing practices, a road safety awareness campaign
will be put in place to better inform the communities about safer road habits. The traffic
management at site will be undertaken by the security personnel as per the established practices.
While most of the labour will be local, interaction of local labour with outside labour force
during the construction may lead to transference of communicable diseases, if left uncontrolled
and unchecked. During the construction period, the labor force will be accommodated in the
labour camps already established in RIL, hence no there will be no strain on the civic amenities
like drinking water, sanitation, road transport and other facilities.
4.16.22.2. Operational Phase
The proposed berth will lead to indirect socio-economic development of the region as this project
is linked to the ongoing refinery expansion project.
Some economic opportunities may, however, develop in the form of supplying materials and
services for the proposed activity in the region.
4.16.23. Need assessment:
The Primary consultations survey has ascertained certain key expectations that are also
indicative of the local community’s attitude towards industrial development in the study area.
The fig 4.24 shows the different needs and expectation of the respondents in hierarchy with
this proposed project
The people from the participant group have more expectations on job and business
opportunities.
Most of the younger and educated people shared their view on conducting skill
development programs for the local communities,
Few of them said that encourage skilled and poor community people, this will help and
enhance their life and economic livelihood.
A few other participants also have more interest on development of parks and green belt in
and around the proposed park.
Most of the old age (above 50 years) and poor people looking for free medical and health
related support.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
123
Most of the fishermen communities have an expectation on free or subsidy on profession
related apparatus.
The proposed project would create certain impacts with beneficial as well as adverse effects on the socio
economic environment. Hence, it is necessary to identify the extent of these impacts for further planning
of control measures leading to mitigation of the adverse impacts. The impacts due to proposed project on

5. IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
5.1 INTRODUCTION
Prediction of impacts is an important component in environmental impact assessment process.
Several techniques and methodologies are in vogue for predicting the impacts due to proposed
development of environment. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project)
environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions.
The quantitative predictions of impacts lead to delineate suitable environmental management
plan need for implementation during the construction, commissioning and operational phases of
the project in order to mitigate the adverse impacts on environmental quality.
This chapters describes the all the impacts and mitigation measures for construction of CC Block
wall, reclamation at Rozi Pier and Railway line and sidings.
In the present study, the most probable impact on various components of the surrounding
environment viz., air, water, land, biological and socio-economic due to the proposed
development has been predicted.
Potential environmental and socio-economic impacts of planned activities include:
Disturbance to habitat during the life-cycle of the project
Emissions to the atmosphere and contamination of seawater and seabed by liquid discharge
during planned as well as potential emergency situations
Local socio-economic impacts and disturbance of port users during the construction and
operation phases.
The terrestrial impacts due to proposed marine facilities of Rozi Pier Port at Jamnagar may be
divided in two phases i.e. (a) Construction phase (b) Operation phase
5.2 Impacts on air environment
5.2.1 Construction phase
During construction of the service jetties, RCC piled of jetty and backfilling will involve the use
of anchored piling barges. The barges/rigs will use diesel generator sets to provide power for the
pile hammer and boring equipment. The generators would produce exhaust emissions during the
construction period, which could cause temporary and localized adverse impacts on local air
quality around these barges. The expected emissions will depend on total diesel combustion,
which can vary between 100 to 500 litres per hour.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
127
The proposed project will have no major considerable stress/ pressure on the environment to give
rise to any significant adverse impacts on environment. The only major impacts on air during
backfillingandconstruction phaseare predicted to be caused due to airborne dust arising from the
construction activities as well as gaseous pollutants from vehicles used for transportation of
construction materials & emission from equipment used during construction phase. The dust
particles in the form of particulate matter will strongly depend on various activities like
movement of vehicles, their speed, back filling etc during the construction phase.
Exhaust emissions due to vehicular movement on land transport of construction material may
marginally increase the air pollution load along the road side. This impact is temporary and
localized.
The probable sources of the dust are the activities of excavation, filling, levelling etc. However,
it is noticed that, the area of the proposed project is situated close to the Marine National Park;
hence the moisture in the soil will not allow the particles to travel to longer distance from the
sources.
Beside the texture of soil is mostly sandy, hence the size and density of particles also prevent
them from longer travelling. However maximum care will be taken to prevent the particles to be
airborne by using water sprinkler system & covering the excavated materials. Hence there will
be no significant impacts due to the dust particles.
5.2.2Operation Phase:
The major activity during operation phase is as below:
1. Collection of goods which are to be exported
2. Loading and unloading of goods
3. Storing and distribution of imported goods
Air pollution during operation phase will be caused due to vehicular emissions. As there is no
chemical process or manufacturing activity, hence there will not be any process emission. As the
proposed project is only export and import of cargo, increase in vehicular movement and
emissions from DG set may affect ambient air quality.
5.2.3 Mitigation Measures:
Inspection for condition of contractor’s barges and equipment before start of work and
ensuring a maintenance schedule is followed for the equipment used.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
128
Ensuring frequent water sprinkling on roads and backfilling area to reduce dust vehicular
movement on land.
Minimization of movement of project vehicles at night and especially during peak hour traffic
(9-11am, 2-3 pm and 5-6pm).
Covering vehicles with tarpaulin during transportation of construction material
Ensuring that contractors are maintaining engines and that machinery deployed during
construction are complying with emission standards.
The diesel generator (DG) sets will be provided with adequate stack height as per applicable
regulations and will use low sulphur diesel in DG sets
Regular maintenance of diesel generators engines
Regular ambient air quality monitoring as per conditions stipulated in the CFE
5.3 Impact on noise environment
5.3.1 Construction phase
As major construction activities will be carried out in the construction yard i.e. located on land,
the noise levels during construction phase will increase due to the activities like operation of
construction equipment’s fabrication and transportation of material and machinery. However
these activities are not likely to generate high noise levels, as they will take up in a
phased/scheduled manner, depending on the activities being taken up. On the whole, the impact
of generated noise on the environment will not be significant, reversible and local in nature.
The hydraulic hammers used during the piling activity have the potential to cause impact on the
noise environment. Impact hammers drive the pile by inducing downward velocity in a metal
ram. On impact with a ‘cushion’ between the pile and the ram, this creates a greater effect than
the hammers weight alone and moves the pile an increment into the ground. The impact causes
atmospheric noise. Further, construction activity will be carried out during daytime to prevent
increase in noise level during night time.
Prediction of Impacts:
Transportation of construction materials
Construction activities including fabrication, welding, pre-casting
Piling operations during construction
The day and night noise levels near the pile-driving site reduce to within prescribed limits as per
“Noise Rules 2000” at distance of 50m and 100m from the source. There is a potential for
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
129
underwater noise from piling of the jetty to impact marine fauna. As there are no marine
mammals identified in the Rozi Pier Port area, it is expected that the noise impact would be of
low significance as the piling activity would be localised and temporary in nature and sensitive
receptors are not located in the vicinity of the noise generating area.
5.3.2 Operational phase
The major expected source to increase the noise level at the jetty area where arrival of cargo and
vehicular movement to transport export and import goods, conveyor system and operation of DG
set for emergency power supply. However, this increase in noise level will be lower compared to
the construction phase. Proper lubrication, muffling shall be done to reduce the noise, DG set
with acoustic enclosure shall be provided.
The workers working in the high noise area shall be provided with ear protected equipment. The
propagation of noise way would be prevented by creating barrier in form of greenbelt
development all around the project area boundary.
5.3.3 Mitigation Measures:
Starting of Piling operations softly to allow any marine fauna to leave the area before high
noise levels are generated and
The project will monitor the noise levels at the receptors and construction site on monthly so
that if noise levels above the acceptable limits are encountered then adequate measures shall be
implemented.
Providing diesel generator with acoustic enclosures
Use of ear plugs by personnel working onsite in high noise generating areas
Use of grease free bearings for all on board equipment
5.4 Impact on Water Environment
5.4.1 Construction phase
The Jamnagar Municipal Corporation is responsible for providing of water during construction
and operation phase. It is estimated that approx. 243.5 KLD will be required once all facilities
are functional. Hence there would not be any impact on local water sources and its competitive
users.
During construction phase, there would be generation of some sewage due to personnel involved
in the construction work. With the implementation of mitigation measures, the potential for
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
130
contamination of surface and ground water resources resulting from sewage disposal is expected
to be insignificant.
The runoff from the site containing construction materials, debris and construction waste and
excavated earthen materials may have adverse impacts on the water environment especially on
nearby marine water resources. Proper mitigation measures shall be implemented to avoid such
runoff as well as spillage of construction materials so that the materials in runoff cannot enter
into the water bodies.
However, due to small scale of construction involved, and the short duration of activities, the
impact is considered of low significance.
5.4.2 Operation Phase:
During operation phase, the waste water will be treated in a sewage treatment plant. The treated
wastewater will be used for flushing, cooling water makeup and landscaping purposes. Disposal
of industrial effluent and sewage without proper treatment into water bodies can pollute and
degraded the water quality by making it unfit for usage and survival of aquatic life. Hence no
waste water should be discharged outside the project premises. This will prevent any direct
disposal of waste water in this stream.
5.4.3 Mitigation measures:
Septic tanks with soak pits are proposed for the disposal of sewage
Waste water generated from the bathing and washing of the construction workforce
will be properly treated before disposal. Skid mounted sewage treatment plant of adequate
capacity will be used for treatment of waste water. Treated water shall be used for sprinkling
purpose, if it meets the prescribed land disposal requirements.
5.5 Impact on Land Environment:
Land use patterns of the surrounding area would not change as it already used for port activity
with some back-up area. The proposed project is in the water front of marine water course of
Gulf of Kutch. The proposed project does not require any additional land. The proposed project
will develop completely on offshore. Hence there would not be any adverse impacts on land
cover is envisaged.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
131
Waste generated during construction can contaminate soil if not handled properly. Also, spillage
of oil can lead to soil contamination in absence of proper management.
The main impact on land environment is the generation of waste and its management.
5.5.1 Mitigation measures:
Adopt good waste management practices with frequent disposal to avoid overflowing
bins.
Train labourers involved in good waste management and chemical management
practices; and
Ensure proper handling and disposal of limited quantity of hazardous wastes generated
as in compliance with the Hazardous waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary
Movement) Rules, 2016.
5.6 Impact due to solid/Non-Hazardous domestic waste generation:
There would be approximately 100 persons employed in the port operations regularly (maximum
number of permanent and contract workers at any given time). Expected waste generation
quantity from proposed project is approximately 75kg/day (@0.75kg/capita/day) of non-
hazardous domestic waste (food waste, general solid waste and plastic waste) that will need
collection and disposal. With the implementation of standard waste handling practices in line
with MARPOL requirements, potential impacts resulting from the generation of non-hazardous
waste is expected to be of low significance.
5.6.1 Mitigation Measures:
It is anticipated that food waste and cooking oil, plastic waste and general solid waste
(packaging, glass, paper, card etc) will be collected and delivered ashore for disposal on a
regular basis.
Adequate number of collection bins shall be provided.
Plastic bottles, glass bottles and plastic bags would be stored in the separate bins and
will be sold to recyclers.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
132
6. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
138
6.2.8 Environmental Statement
As a mandatory requirement under the Environment Protection Rules (1986) as amended through
the Notification issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests in April 1993, an
Environmental Statement shall be prepared annually. This shall include the consumption of total
resources (raw material and water per tonne of product), quantity and concentration of pollutants
(air and water) discharged, quantity of hazardous and solid waste generation, pollution abatement
measures, conservation of natural resources and cost of production vis-a-vis the investment on
pollution abatement. This shall be carried out, either internally or through some external agency,
impartially and effectively by a person properly trained for it and having broad knowledge of the
environmental process and expertise in relevant.
The intent of this statement is to:
Identify the process/production areas where resources can be used more efficiently through a
benchmarking with a similar industry (thereby reducing the consumption per unit of product);
and
Determine the areas where waste generation can be minimized at source and through end of
pipe treatment (thereby reducing the wastes generated and discharged per unit of product).
6.3 EMP during Construction Phase:
The EMP for the integrated facilities within Rozi Pier Port area includes the following:
Air Emissions Management
Control of Noise
Waste water management
Waste Management
Dredged materials management
Hazardous material and oil management
Biodiversity management
Green belt development
Energy conservation measures
Environment Management Cell
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
139
6.4 AIR EMISSIONS MANAGEMENT:
6.4.1 Construction Phase:
The following measures to reduce fugitive and gaseous pollutant emissions during the
construction phase should be implemented.
Water sprinklers will be used to control the fugitive dusts.
Prudent and good construction practices will be used to minimize the spread of sediments,
which are stirred during pile driving and other construction.
Diesel driven construction machinery and equipment’s should be fitted with appropriate
silencers, will not be left idle for prolonged periods of time, and be subjected to regular
scheduled maintenance to minimize the exhaust emission.
Vehicle engines should not be left running when not in use
Improperly functioning equipment and vehicles should be removed from the project site or
should be repaired before returning to service.
Trucks carrying C&D waste will be covered with tarpulin and will be disposed in low lying
areas within port.
6.4.2 Operation Phase:
Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) may also be emitted from fuel storage and transfer. Storage
and handling of dry bulk cargo, as well as from onshore construction activities and vehicle traffic
on unpaved roads, may also contribute to particulate matter emissions.
Recommended air emissions management strategies include:
Combustion sources
Develop air quality management procedures applicable to ship operators such as
1. Maintaining emissions of NOx and SOx within the limits
2. Using low-sulfur fuels in port
3. Keeping transfer equipment’s such as cranes, trucks in good working condition.
4. Encouraging reduction in engine idling during on and off loading activities.
5. Volatile Organic compounds
VOC emissions from fuel storage and transfer activities should be minimized by means of
equipment selection, adoption of management practices such as limiting or eliminating
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
140
loading/unloading during poor air quality episodes or implementing tank and piping leak
detection and repair programs.
6.4.3 Dust
Dry bulk materials storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize or control
dust emissions, including:
Installing dust suppression mechanisms (water spray or covered storage areas)
Using vacuum collectors at dust-generating activities.
Minimizing free fall of materials
Ensuring hatches are covered when material handling is not being conducted.
Covering transport vehicles
Regularly sweeping docks and handling areas, truck/rail storage areas and paved roadway
surfaces
To control the fugitive dust Gujarat Maritime Board is procuring fogging cannon and mobile
road sweepers in this financial year.
Mobile fog cannons
This system consists of Water Tank, Generator Set, and Sprayers with a turbine arrangement
inside. The entire arrangement is mounted on a truck enabling mobility of the machine all over
the Port wherever required. The advantage of having this system is that the fog is produced by
mixing of water with high velocity wind produced by turbine and fog is thrown in the air. This
Fog will be throwing around 60 meters with a pinching angle of -10º to 45º and capable of
spraying horizontally around 180º to 320º. Since the water droplet size is 30-320 microns and
because of fogging effect, the entire dust will be brought down to the ground level and gets
suppressed.
These machines because of their mobility can be moved to any place which is more
vulnerable to dust in a particular day and water in the form of mist is sprayed at the dust
emanating area at a height of about 10 metres from surface, which is the source of that emanation
to all surround areas, due to wind farm / Breeze. The Fog cannons spray a huge mist of water at
this source of Dust, resulting in the mist and dust particles getting coagulated and due to self-
weight settles down and will be in their state for the next 10 minutes.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
141
Mobile road sweeper machines
The proposed Ravo Road Sweeping Machine is versatile and consists of a Front Roller Boom,
Heavy Duty Wire Mesh, Water Pressure Pumps, Container Dump, Wander Hose, Pressurised
Cabin, heavy Duty packages, Water installations, independent Linde Wheel Motors, Corton Steel
Containers, etc. The principle of working of a Road Sweeping Machine is that the 2 Nos
Brushers at the front located underneath the driver’s cabin are capable of rotating in two different
directions so that the deposited dust and waste materials will be pushed to the centre. The entire
dust will be pulled and collected in the tank located in the rear side of the machine through a
Vacuum system. Since there is a provision of spraying water during operations there will not be
spreading of dust around the cleaning area.
Some of the salient features of this machine are:
Adjustable suction nozzle flap for intake of large pieces of garbage
Load carrying capacity of 5400 kg
Ravo Machine has the feature of sweeping 2000mm to 3100mm width and vacuuming the
debris into the container
The Ravo Machine has a high pressure water pump with spray gun and a flexible hose reel.
This enables to use high pressure water jet for even cleaning the side walls or inside of the cabin
or remove the hard debris or oil stains, etc.
Both the Fog cannon machine and Road Sweeper Machines would be operated in tandem with a
frequency difference of 10 minutes so that the Dust suppressed is immediately collected and
disposed. They would also be operated separately at different locations depending on the
intensity and necessity.
6.5 Control of noise:
The noise control is to ensure that noise from the proposed project activities does not exceed
acceptable parameters and that the noise levels are not injurious to health and do not create a
nuisance.
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
142
6.5.1 Construction Phase:
Transportation activities will not be allowed to avoid high noise level in locally during night
time.
All vehicles will be equipped with the horn of low noise level which is recommended by
authority to avoid noise impacts.
Machineries/equipment causing high noise level should not be operated during night time.
Construction machinery should be in good working condition and engines turned off when not in
use.
6.5.2 Operation Phase:
Noise reduction options include the following:
Selecting equipment with lower sound power levels.
Installing suitable mufflers on engine exhausts and compressor components
Installing acoustic enclosures for generators
Installing vibration isolation for mechanical equipment.
Reducing project traffic routing community areas wherever possible.
Provision of Personal Protective Equipment and their proper usage for eardrum protection of
the workers as well as visitors.
Periodic monitoring of sound level at suggested places.
Periodical maintenance of all equipment and transport vehicles.
6.6 WASTE MANAGEMENT:
6.6.1 Construction Phase:
Non- hazardous solid waste generated at construction and decommissioning sites includes excess
fill materials from grading and excavation activities, scrap wood and metals and small concrete
spills.
6.6.2 Operation Phase:
Hazardous solid waste includes contaminated soils, which could potentially be encountered on-
site due to previous land use activities or small amounts of machinery maintenance materials,
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
143
such as oily rags, used oil filters and used oil as well as spill cleanup materials from oil and fuel
spills.
Waste generating from the proposed project includes inert solid waste from cargo packaging and
from administrative offices, as well as hazardous or potentially hazardous waste associated with
vehicle maintenance operations.
Waste material from vessels includes plastic, paper, glass, metals and food wastes. Hazardous
waste such as waste oil, batteries, paints, solvents, pesticides will be generated.
6.6.3 Health & Safety Management System
This section outlines a Health and Safety Management System, which will outline mitigation
measures and best management practices. The Project will carry out a complete assessment,
evaluate, monitor, identify and control all potential hazards and risks that will arise during the
construction, operation and decommissioning phases of the proposed project.
Prior to project commissioning, all personnel will be required to undertake an extensive
trainingprogram to ensure safe operating practices. The training program and subsequent regular
refresher programs will involve issues covering operations, hazards, safety and emergency
procedures and environmental management. Fire water management plan will be developed for
the proposed project which would be integrated with the Port’s fire water management plan.
6.8 Waste Management Plan
A Waste Management Plan will be developed for providing waste reception and handling
facilities to the proposed project during both construction and operational phases for proper
waste management. This plan has been drawn to facilitate provisions of reception arrangements
in the port, in accordance with the MARPOL 73/78 Regulations and also as
SPCB/CPCB/MoEF&CC guidelines with respect to hazardous wastes and through local district
administration with respect to solid wastes.
6.8.1 Port Sewage and Storm water management:
Recommendations specific to storm water and waste water management facilities include:
Avoiding installation of storm drainage catch basins that discharge directly into surface waters,
using containment basins in areas with a high risk of accidental releases of oil or hazardous
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
144
materials (e.g. fuelling or fuel transfer locations) and oil/grit or oil/water separators in all runoff
collection areas. Oil/water separators and trapping catch basins should be maintained regularly to
keep them operational.
Installing filter mechanisms (e.g draining swabs, filter berms, drainage inlet protection, sediment
traps and sediment basins) to prevent sediment and particulates from reaching the surface water.
6.8.2 Waste Management during Construction and Operation Phase
Waste Management during Construction Stage
The solid waste generated during the development of the proposed project will consist of paper,
cotton rags, plastic, tins etc. This will be collected in dustbins, which will be cleared daily before
the start of working hours through the port authorized waste collector. Solid waste will be
weighed and the type of waste noted prior to disposal. It will then be disposed of at an authorized
waste disposal site.
Maintenance activities will generate scrap metal and hazardous waste including pipeline pigging
waste, spent oil and paint, wastes/residues containing oil, spent batteries, filters, and empty
chemical containers. The small quantities of hazardous waste generated will be handled and
disposed as per the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans-Boundary Movement)
Rules, 2008 (HWM Rules) as amended till date. The spent lube oil and spent batteries and filters
will be handed over to authorized recyclers.
The solid waste and hazardous waste generated from seaward side from the construction barges,
construction site, dredgers etc. will be collected twice in a week at shore on jetty using an
authorized garbage vehicle and through a SPCB approved collection vehicle respectively. The
type of waste, source and quantity will be noted prior to disposal and then the vehicle will be
sent to weigh bridge for weighing before it is disposed of at an authorized waste disposal
site.
Used oil generated from diesel generators/ engines will be disposed to SPCB authorized waste
oil recyclers. Hazardous waste handling and management procedures shall be followed.
Waste Management during Operation Stage
The solid waste generated from the landward side during metering and distribution station
operation will be paper, cotton rags, plastic, tins etc. These will be collected on daily basis in
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
145
dustbins and these bins will be cleared daily through the port authorized waste collector. It will
then be disposed of at an authorized waste disposal site.
The hazardous waste generated landward side will be collected and the source of collection will
be noted, which could be lead acid batteries from operating vehicles and used oil from these
vehicles. These hazardous batteries are usually disposed using a buy-back option where the
waste batteries are exchanged for new.
Used oil generated will be disposed to SPCB authorized waste oil recyclers.
Hazardous waste handling and management rules shall be followed. The 06 Copy Manifest for
handling and disposal of such type of waste will be used and records maintained. The TREM
Card system will also be required by the transporter carrying the hazardous waste.
6.9 Green Belt Development Plan
Rozi Pier Port has endeavoured in maintaining eco-balance by way of tree plantation in and
around port area. Extensive plantation is carried out every year. The survival rate of plants is
very low due to saline soil and adverse weather conditions. Ongoing efforts are taken to increase
the area under plantation. Additionally, green belt development is undertaken at, roadside and
near residential and office buildings at Jamnagar and surrounding villages.
As per CPCB guidelines, green belt will be developed on 33% of the total project area.
6.9.1 Selection of species for plantation
Development of plantation is one of the most sensitive issues and shall be done with due care.
Selection of proper locally grown species in addition to checking of their growth rate, quality,
thickness of canopy cover, etc. shall be duly done as it helps in abatement of fugitive noise,
reduce the pollution level, thus making the place worth dwelling for the diversified species flora.
The plant species suitable for green belt development need to be selected based on the flowing
criteria.
Native plant species will be preferred
Fast growing plants will be planted
Plants having thick canopy cover will be used
Preferably perennial and evergreen species will be selected
Plants having large leaf area index will be considered
[DRAFT TERRESTRIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT] GUJARAT MARITIME BOARD
146
Road sides will be planted with local vegetation
While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts, weightage has to be given to
the natural factor of bio-climate. It is also presumed that the selected plants will be grown as per
normal horticultural or forestry practices.
Trees are important sinks for air pollutants. Trees absorb noise and by enhancing the green
cover, improve the ecology and aesthetics and affect the local micrometeorology. Trees also
have major long-term impacts on soil quality and the ground water table. By using suitable plant
species, green belts can be developed in strategic zones to provide protection from emitted and

SafetyArrangements atPorts
GMB ports where foreign cargo is being handled are provided with safetyarrangementsunder“InternationalShipandPortSecurity(ISPS)Code”asa partof implementation of ISPS Code regular patrolling is being done in sea andcoastal area at the important ports viz. Bedi, Porbander, Okha, through “HighSpeed Petrol Boat” engaged on contract basis. Safety arrangement at all theimportant state ports is assigned to “Gujarat Industrial Security Force” - anundertaking ofGujarat State.
The sate coastline is adjacent to international boundary and therefore issensitive. Government has decided to establish “Marine Police Stations” at theprescribed locations along the coastline for intensive patrolling and safetymeasures. In this regard, Marine Police Stations are to be established on thecoastalareaofNavaBandar(NearVeraval),Porbander,Bhavnagar,NavlakhiandOkhaintheGMBland.Land forthesamehasalready been handed over.
