FOREWORD

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a planning tool generally accepted as an integral

component of sound decision-making. EIA is to give the environment its due place in the decision-

making process by clearly evaluating the environmental consequences of the proposed activity

before action is taken. Early identification and characterization of critical environmental impacts

allow the public and the government to form a view about the environmental acceptability of a

proposed developmental project and what conditions should apply to mitigate or reduce those risks

and impacts.

Environmental Impact Notification S.O.1533 (E), dt.14th September 2006, and amended thereafter,

issued under the provisions of Environment (Protection) Act 1986, has made it mandatory to obtain

prior environmental clearance for scheduled development projects. The notification has classified

projects under two categories 'A' & 'B'. Category ‘A’ projects (including expansion and modernization

of existing projects) require clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Govt. of

India (GoI) and for category B from State Environmental Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA),

constituted by Government of India.

As per the above mentioned notification, it is mandatory to obtain environmental clearance if

construction projects falls under the below extract of the notification.

confirmation Yes/No



of information data

5.1

Emissions from combustion of

fossil fuels from stationary or

mobile sources

Yes

Air emission comprising PM, NOX, un-burnt

hydrocarbon and SO2 will be from the operating

Dual Fuel Generator sets used as the standby power

source. Emission of the above pollutants will be

temporary (during power cuts) and will be further

minimized by the use of low Sulphur High Speed

Diesel (HSD) with Sulphur content <0.005%.

5.2 Emissions from production

processes No Not Applicable

5.3

Emissions from materials

handling including storage or

transport

No Not Applicable

5.4

Emissions from construction

activities including plant and

equipment

Yes

The potential ambient air quality impacts arising

from the proposed project would occur mainly

during project construction phase. Particulate

Matter would be predominant, pollutant generated

from construction activities. The gaseous emissions

such as SO2, NOX and un-burnt hydrocarbons would

be generated from the construction equipment and

vehicles.

The impact of such activities would be temporary

and restricted to the construction phase. The

impact will be confined within the project boundary

and is expected to be negligible outside the project

boundaries. Proper upkeep and maintenance of

vehicles, sprinkling of water on roads at

construction site, providing sufficient vegetation



etc, are some of the proposed measures that would

greatly reduce the impact on the air quality during

the construction phase of the project.

Excavation during windy days will be avoided to

reduce dust emissions.

5.5

Dust or odours from handling

of materials including

construction materials,

sewage and waste

Yes

Dust emission during construction phase will be

present and decreases gradually as project

progresses. Sewage during construction stage will

be treated in septic tank and soak pits and the

municipal waste will be handed over to local

disposal agencies on a daily basis through proper

records, thereby reducing the nuisance of odor and

minimizing the chances of spread of infectious

diseases. During operation phase, decentralized

sewage treatment plants shall be installed to treat

the sewage effluent and make them fix for reuse

and meet the discharge standards stipulated by

KSPCB / CPCB. The treated water shall be used for

landscaping, toilet flushing, air conditioning, etc.

5.6 Emissions from incineration of

waste No Not Applicable

5.7

Emissions from burning of

waste in open air (e.g. slash

materials, construction

debris)

No

Not Applicable. The In-organic waste generated

during the construction phase shall be properly

segregated and processed within the project.

5.8 Emissions from any other

sources No Not Applicable



6. Generation of Noise and Vibration, and Emissions of Light and Heat:

Sl.

No.


confirmation Yes/No

Details thereof (with approximate quantities/rates,

wherever possible) with source of information data

with source of information data

6.1

From operation of

equipment e.g. engines,

ventilation plant, crushers

Yes

During the operation phase, noise will be generated

from the Generator sets, pump room, vehicles

movement, and general noise characteristics of the

occupants. The Generator set room and pump will be

isolated from the outside environment and proper

acoustic arrangements will be made to control the

noise generated from the rooms. Necessary mitigation

measures include installation of Vibration isolation

pads of suitable thickness commensurate to loading to

reduce the vibration, shall be provided under all

equipment’s provided. The noise levels outside the

room will be maintained within the stipulated norms

as per KSPCB Standards, both during the day and

night times.

6.2 From industrial or similar

processes No Not Applicable

6.3 From construction or

demolition Yes

Heavy construction traffic for loading and unloading,

fabrication and handling of equipment’s and

construction materials are likely to cause an increase

in the ambient noise levels. At peak of the

construction phase, minimal increase in noise levels is

expected to occur locally at construction site.

The peak noise levels from continuous construction

activity may vary between 80 to 85dB (A). However,

factors like air absorption, vegetal cover etc., would

result in significant attenuation of at least 20 to 25dB

(A) at 100 m distance. The resultant noise levels on

proposed project site at 100m distance at peak level

of construction are anticipated to be about 60 - 65dB



(A), which is well within the limits for Commercial

areas during the day time. Hence, the noise levels are

considered to have insignificant impact.

Further to minimize these potential impacts, major

construction activities would be scheduled during

normal daylight working hours and would be

implemented consistent with the applicable

standards. The construction contractor will use

equipment’s that are adapted to operate with

appropriate noise muffling devices resulting in the

least possible noise. Every effort would be taken to

minimize the noise levels including the mandatory use

of construction equipment’s with operable mufflers.

Overall, the impact of noise generated on the

environment is likely to be insignificant, reversible and

localized in nature and mainly confined to daytime

and construction period only.

6.4 From blasting or piling No Not Applicable

6.5 From construction or

operational traffic Yes

During Construction - Explained in 6.3

Operational Phase - From the project itself, there will

be separate Entry and Exit points, each 6.0 m wide.

The total width of the internal road (bi-directional) is

8m wide as per Fire regulations. The traffic circulates

around the property simultaneously providing ingress

& egress to the parking area. Hence, traffic noise is

not expected to be a major concern. Also, speed

breakers at regular intervals shall be put up to ensure

that vehicles do not over-speed within the property.

Sign boards indicating “No Horn”, “Drive Slowly” and

“Speed Limit” shall be put up at regular intervals to

guide the drivers for a safe drive. The Entry and Exit

will be manned by trained and experienced traffic

wardens/security. Stopping or parking near the

Entrance and Exit portals will be prohibited; The long



driveway leading to the Parking bays and areas will

ensure that vehicles do not get piled up. Bus bays are

proposed at strategic locations nearby to the

buildings, to ensure that the employees do not have to

walk for long distances to access them and thereby

effectively utilizing the public transport system.

6.6 From lighting or cooling

systems No

Noise, vibration, heat and intensity light will be

negligible from the lighting and cooling systems.

6.7 From any other sources No None other than the sources mentioned above.

Proposed Terms of Reference

The purpose of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to determine as precisely as possible

within the present limits of knowledge and expertise, the likely environmental impacts of the



proposed project. The objective will be to establish a clean unit whose waste, if any, can be recycled

/ reused to the maximum extent feasible. Feasibility of reuse and disposal of liquid and solid wastes

generated from the project will be explored. The Terms of Reference proposed for this EIA is as

follows:

The study area will cover an area of 10 km radius around the proposed project site.

EIA procedure as given in the EIA Manual of MOEF will be followed.

Baseline environmental quality within 10 km radius of the project site will be assessed based

on secondary data collected from various sources supplemented by data generated at site.

Baseline data will be generated for non-monsoon season, for following environmental components:

Land Environment (land use, geology, seismology and soils):

The baseline data for land environment will include soil analysis for its fertility and to ascertain that

there is no polluting parameters in the soil. The soil sampling will be done by field study and will be

analyzed by NABET Accredited laboratories. The field study will also include identification of rare

vegetation, if any, and demarcation for its preservation. Soil will be analyzed for its load bearing

capacity, slope stability, level difference, particle size, etc.

Soil Sampling

Type and characteristics

Porosity and permeability

Sub-soil permeability

Inherent fertility

Water Environment

Identifying project activities including construction, which may affect surface water or groundwater.

Estimating water intake requirements and identifying the source of water to be used.

Air Environment (Air Quality)

The baseline data for air will include measurement / monitoring of Ambient Air. This is done by field

study to locate the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Station (AAQMS) and samples collected are

analyzed by NABL approved / authorized laboratories. Baseline data of air pollutant parameters

extending an area of 500meters from the project shall be monitored at a number of locations.



Description of baseline data of ambient air parameters namely RSPM, Nitrogen dioxide, Sulphur

dioxide, and Carbon monoxide shall be collected. Number and locations of Ambient Air quality

monitoring (AAQM) stations shall be decided based on the nature of project, meteorological

conditions, Topography, selected pollution pockets in the area and likely impact areas, using

Experimental judgement.

Ambient Air Monitoring is being done by Karnataka State Pollution Control Board at 10 Locations in

Bengaluru City which also includes Graphite India using manual equipment’s under National Ambient

Air Quality Monitoring Programme (NAMP) covering Industrial Area, Mixed Urban Area and Sensitive

Area. Six months Ambient Air Quality Monitoring results for Graphite India Station will be used as

baseline data. Also, AAQ data of the study area will be generated by following the guidelines for

ambient air quality monitoring published by CPCB (Guidelines for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring:

NAAQMS/25/2003-04-July 2003).

The parameters monitored are as follows.

Sulphur Di Oxide (SO2)

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Ecological Environment (Terrestrial Ecology)

There will be no major impact on the terrestrial and aquatic environment of the surroundings or in

the region due to implementation of the project. Moreover, green-belting measures within the

campus will be undertaken to provide an aesthetically pleasing environment for the occupants of the

building. 33% of the project site is proposed for landscaping.

Flora and Fauna

The listing of flora and fauna will be carried out by referring to the published documents / recent

literature and observations recorded during the field visits.

Socio-Economic Environment (demography, socio-economic, public health)

Population, Sex ratio, Literacy rate, Socio-economic status etc., will be compiled through available

literature review. The Socio-Economic Environment in and around the project, pertains to the town

of Krishnarajapuram, and hence not a major consequence either as a source of nuisance to the



project, or for the project to have any adverse impact. Hence the Socio-Economic Environment has

not been studied or assessed in detail.

Topography

Topography of the project site will be given with contours drawings.

The impact of the project on the existing drainage pattern will be addressed and mitigation

measures will be suggested to counter the adverse impact on the existing drainage pattern.

Landscaping

Greenery development plan is prepared to enhance the aesthetic quality of the environment. The

plan also concentrates on measures that will be helpful in attenuating air and noise pollution levels

from the project. Local/Native fast growing tree species will be adopted in landscaping post

construction phase. 33% of the project area is reserved for development of greenbelt, landscaping

and gardens / lawns, etc.

Traffic Study

The existing traffic movement pattern and intensity on the Graphite India main road will be

monitored for one / two days. The impact of additional traffic due to the proposed project will be

assessed.

Rainwater Harvesting

Rainwater harvesting strategies which includes Roof top rainwater collection tank for harvesting

terrace water & re-charge pits for harvesting surface run-off within the project premises will be

implemented as a measure to augment the available groundwater resources of the area.

Environmental Management Plan

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) will be drawn up to maintain and enhance the

environmental quality in and around the project area. In case the quality of the environment is

expected to deteriorate beyond acceptable limits, additional strategies will be suggested and

implemented. Such strategies include air pollution mitigation measures, wastewater treatment and

reuse, noise reduction measures, etc.



The EMP will earmark specific staff, instruments and finances for routine environmental

management as well as collection, collation and examination of various environmental data. A post-

project monitoring plan will be suggested to monitor the changes in the environmental quality after

implementation of the project. All necessary administrative measures will be incorporated in the

EMP to achieve the following objectives:

Reduction of adverse environmental impacts

Improvement of environmental quality of the surrounding area

Waste minimization, re-use and resource recovery

Waste segregation to make the treatment and disposal cost-effective

Establish proper monitoring mechanism with adequate infrastructure

Risk assessment study
