PREFEASIBILITY REPORT
e. SOIL
Major part of the district is covered by alluvial soil except a narrow belt along the sea coast in
the extreme south where saline soil, saline alkali soil, non saline alkali soil and degraded
alkali soils developed.
f. INFRASTRUCTURE
Since the proposed Project is expansion project within the premises of the Coastal Installation it
will use all the infrastructural facilities of the existing Haldia Coastal Installation.
INDUSTRIAL WASTE MANAGEMENT
Following waste management measures which are in line with the existing practice is conceived
in the design to meet the environmental standards and environmental operating conditions for
the project:
AIR POLLUTION MANAGEMENT
The air Pollution mitigative measures conceived for the project is summarized below:
Water spraying is conceived to minimize dust Pollution during excavation and earth
work (during construction phase).
Hydrocarbon is stored in Floating Roof (FR) / Cone Roof to minimize vapour loses.
The DG sets have tall stack as specified by CPCB.
Greenbelt is also developed along plant boundary to restrict air Pollution.
WATER POLLUTION MANAGEMENT
Wastewater Management philosophy is based on the following:
The wastewater management philosophy is based on “Zero Discharge” concept. All
oily effluents are diverted to Oil Water Separator (OWS).
The wastewater from OWS after removal of oil & after testing is used for green Belt
development within the Depot.
The collected slop oil is disposed off to third party for off-site recovery or recycling.
Domestic Sewage generated at the terminal is treated in septic tank and disposed via
soak pit.
Separate storm water drainage system is provided at the facility.
The non-contaminated rain water is discharged directly to rain water harvesting pit
within the facility. However, particularly during the monsoon, any oil-contaminated
rain water is led to the OWS for treatment prior to discharge.

PREFEASIBILITY REPORT
NOISE POLLUTION MANAGEMENT
The following noise abatement measures are practiced for the Haldia Depot:
The equipment, which is the source of noise, has built-in type noise control abatement
technology.
Greenbelt is already developed around plant boundary and other strategic locations to
reduce noise Pollution
SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
Following measure is followed for management of solid waste in Haldia Depot:
Tank bottom sludge is generated while cleaning of oil storage tanks. The cleaning of
oil storage tanks is done once in five years as per practice of Oil Industry.
Total tank bottom sludge along with filters contaminated with oil thus generated is
kept in secured, covered impermeable sludge pit located within terminal at a central
place earmarked for the purpose prior to disposal via incineration or bio-remediation.
The spent or used oil will be stored at a specific location prior to safe disposal through
MoEF/ State PCB approved registered recycler.
Other hazardous wastes if any like spent batteries, waste oil, empty drums of
oil/chemicals, fluorescent tubing etc. is disposed off in accordance with approved safe
procedures.
