MITIGATION MEASURES:
SOURCES MANAGEMENT
Dust & emissions from
vehicular exhaust.
• Regular sprinkling of water on the haul-road.
• Speed restriction of all vehicles.
• Vehicles will be checked for PUC certification.
The dust emission sources are:
• Excavation
• Haul road movements
• Construction
• Material Handling
• Finishing
• Water spraying to prevent dust pollution from different sources
of construction.
• All transportation vehicles will be suitably covered &
overloading of the vehicles will be avoided.
• Covering of the construction site on all four sides to a
considerable height to prevent dust emissions and other
pollutants to the surrounding environment.
• Ensuring vehicles stick to the access track to prevent mud and
dirt being deposited on roads.

Environmental Management Plan Developer : SRM Institute of Science & Technology
2. DG sets:
The source of emission will be from two D.G. sets of cumulative capacity of 875 kVA (250
kVA; 1 no. + 625 kVA; 1 no.) which will be used in case of power cuts or failure.
Calculation of stack height of D.G. set
a) DG set of capacity 250 kVA:
The stack height of DG set is calculated as under:
H = 0.2 (√capacity of the DG set in kVA)
= 0.2 x (√250)
= 0.2 x 15.81 = 3.16 m
b) DG set of capacity 625 kVA:
The stack height of DG set is calculated as under:
H = 0.2 (√capacity of the DG set in kVA)
= 0.2 x (√625)
= 0.2 x 25 = 5 m
However, a safe stack height of 56 m above the roof of DG house will be provided.
MANAGEMENT PLAN
SOURCES MANAGEMENT
• Exhaust from D.G. sets • DG sets conforming to the CPCB standards will be deployed.
• D.G. sets will be provided with effective stack height of 56 m above
the roof of DG house.
• Low-sulphur-content fuel (HSD - Sulphur content 0.05%) will be
used.
• Emission due to
vehicular exhausts
especially congestions
during peak traffic hours.
• Sufficient width of driveways to ensure smooth traffic movements.
• Provisions of fully internalized parking including the parking facilities
for the visitors.
• Guided traffic ways within the project site.
• Speed humps will be installed for speed restrictions inside the project
area.

CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
SOURCES MANAGEMENT
• Significant water
demand for
construction.
• Curing water will be sprayed and after liberal curing all concrete
structures will be covered with gunny bags this will conserve water.
• There will be provision of using polymer dispersion and air entraining
agents to reduce the water demand for construction.
• Un-captured run-off
from the site may
contaminate ground
water aquifers.
• The rain-water entering into the pit will be screened for the removal of
heavy silt and other materials.
• Provisions will be made to ensure the construction vehicles stick to the
access track to prevent mud & dirt being deposited on roads.
• Fence will be constructed around the site to trap sediments whilst
allowing the water to flow through.
• Up slope water will be diverted with turf and due care will be taken not
to mix mortar in locations that will drain into storm water system.
• Unsanitary conditions
during rainy season.
• The civil contractor will be made responsible for site sanitation and will
be bound by the management to adhere to healthy level of sanitation.
• There will be no stagnant water at site, as the runoff from the relevant
areas will be systematically drained into the storm water line. There
will be provision of cleaning the storm water line periodically.
POST CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
Daily fresh water demand will be 261 KLD (95,265 cu. m./annum). The fresh water demand will
be met from HUDA water supply.
WASTE WATER GENERATION AND TREATMENT:
Sewage treatment plan
Approximate 222 KLD waste water will be generated which will be treated in STP of capacity 250
KLD. Physico chemical characteristics of influent and effluent are given as:

1. • Daily water demand 261 KLD
(95,265 cu. m./ annum).
• Daily fresh water demand reduced by 44.23% after
implementation of Environment Management Plan which
will be met from HUDA water supply.
• The maximum annual recharge will be to the tune of 48,236
cu. m. by harvesting the storm water.
2. • Daily waste water generation:

• Waste water will be treated in sewage treatment plant of
capacity of 250 KLD.
• Treated water from STP will be used for flushing (74 KLD),
plantation (63 KLD) and make up for cooling tower (70
KLD).
3. • Monitoring use of water • Water meters will be installed to control the overflow losses
and to monitor the water usage at the following points :
� Fresh water intake
� Inlet of flushing tanks
� STP inlet
� STP outlet
� Landscaping
4. • Un-captured storm water run-
off.
• Flooding or logging of storm
water drains
• The runoff from the building terraces, paved areas and
landscape areas will be channelized to the rain-water
harvesting structures designed on the peak intensity of rainfall
(90 mm/hr) to accommodate peak surface run-off, which will
avoid the problems of flooding.
• The storm-water drains will be cleaned in the pre-monsoon
phase so that the water logging can be avoided.

BIODIVERSITY
BIODIVERSITY STATUS OF SRM UNIVERSITY PROJECT SITE
Floral and faunal components are an important part of urban ecosystem and provide significant
ecosystem services. While the development has continued, the infrastructure and urban areas being
developed have substantial impact on biodiversity. Therefore, understanding the impact of
urbanization on biodiversity becomes imperative not only from the point of view of conservation,
but also for planning sustainable cities. A habitat loss, urban development produces some of the
greatest local extinction rates and frequently eliminates the large majority of native species. Also,
urbanization is often more lasting than other types of habitat loss. Another great conservation
challenge of urban growth is that it replaces the native species that are lost with wide spread
“weedy” nonnative species. This replacement constitutes the process of biotic homogenization that
threatens to reduce the biological uniqueness of local ecosystems.
Description of the flora and fauna of the project site / it’s vicinity, their habitats and their
description is necessary to help identify potential impacts on each species. Occurrence of rare,
threatened, or endangered species within area need to be noted. Biological impact assessment
generally includes listing of plants and animals present in the vicinity of the proposed project site.
Detailed ecological survey of the site was conducted to identify existing flora and fauna (i.e. trees,
shrubs, herbs, grasses, herpetofauna, avifauna and mammals).
STUDY AREA
Ecologically, project site is situated in the urban ecosystem and agro-ecosystem setting.
METHODOLOGY
Biodiversity inventorization was carried out to understand floral and faunal components of the
project site
Flora: Project site is do posses dense vegetation which do not require quantification. However, all
plant species were enlisted.
Fauna: For birds, Opportunistic sighting of all birds / avifaunal species during perambulation were
recorded to prepare checklist. Identification by calls was also made for species which were not
directly encountered or were hidden in the tree canopy. Similarly, area searches were carried out to
locate the species herpetofaunal species. Presence of mammals was documented by using both
direct and indirect (i.e. animal burrows / holes, scat, pellets, feeding signs, and tracks evidences).

IMPACT IDENTIFICATION AND MITIGATORY MEASURES
Clearing of existing vegetation
Land clearing and removal of vegetation cover at the project site likely to have the following minor
direct/primary impacts.
Impact on flora
Impact 1: Loss of habitat, habitat fragmentation?
Evaluation& mitigation: Project site comprises plantation, common herbs and grasses and
naturally grown trees. Only herbs and grasses will be cleared while all existing trees will be
retained. So, clearing of herbs and grass species will not result in the Loss of habitat, habitat
fragmentation in true sense.
Impact on fauna
Impact 2:Impact on major faunal groups (terrestrial avifauna and mammals)?
Evaluation & mitigation: Project site has been reported with one species of mammals (squirrel)
and eight species of the avifauna. All recorded species are common and well adapted to the routine
urban activities so they will not face significant impact. Due to their abundant, wider distribution
and inhabiting diverse habitat types, the impact due to the project and related activities may not be
Project : “SRM University”- Phase II Conceptual Plan &
Environmental Management Plan Developer : SRM Institute of Science & Technology
significant. Surrounding habitats the study area comprises good diversity in terms of all
components as compare to the project site. During construction phase, all the faunal species
reported from the project site can disperse in the surrounding habitats temporarily. So impact will
be in the acceptable limits. In the post construction phase further landscaping will help to re-
establish reported species.
Biodiversity Appraisal
All floral and faunal species recorded from the study area are widely distributed in the surrounding
environ as well as other regions and are common species; no any major negative impacts are
envisaged on the biota due to the upcoming project and its associated activities.
EMP FOR ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
Environmental Management Plan is a key approach and follows up of environmental/biological
study to reduce or control the identified expected impacts resulting from the proposed project
related activities.
Landscaping Plantation: Environmental requirements and species adoptability are the most
important factors need to consider while selecting tree species for greenbelt development. For the
selection of tree species, environmental requirement and species adoptability information was
acquired from Hocking (1993). Selection of the plant species will be based on their adaptability to
the existing geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the forest type of the
region. During the development of the landscaping within the project area, it has to be emphasized
that those local plant species should be planted which are having good ornamental values and are
fast growing with excellent canopy cover.
Landscaping / green belt is provided to mitigate various emissions. Green belts are wide strip of
trees and shrubs planted in rows to reduce air velocity there by facilitating settling of the particles
on the leaf surfaces and allowing absorption of the pollutant gases. It also serves to cool the
atmosphere by transpiration from the leaf surface and also provide habitat for birds, reptiles and
insects. The advantages of a green belt are given below:
Landscaping / Greenbelt is important habitats for birds and animals, which add to the aesthetic
value of the environment. Generally, birds prefer to make their habitat, nest, on trees. Further trees
provide shade and hiding places to wild life.
• Greenbelt helps to restore the ecological balance.
Project : “SRM University”- Phase II Conceptual Plan &
Environmental Management Plan Developer : SRM Institute of Science & Technology
• Greenbelt helps in prevention of soil erosion.
• Greenbelt helps to improve the aesthetics in the area.
• The greenbelt also diminishes noise pollution by absorbing high degree of noise due to
their spongy foliar crown.
Selection criteria of Plant species: The selection of plant species for the development depends on
various factors such as climate, elevation and soil. The list of plant species that can be suitably
planted and having significant importance are provided in the following table. The plants should
exhibit the following required characteristic in order to be selected for plantation.
• The species should be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability.
• The species should be wind-firm and deep-rooted.
• The species should form a dense canopy.
• As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally available
• Species tolerance to air pollutants like SPM, SOx and NOx should be preferred.
• The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing within the
belt.
• There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through
• Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the
surfaces.
• Ability to withstand conditions like flood and drought
• Soil improving plants (Nitrogen fixing, rapidly decomposable leaf litter).
• Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing
• Bird and insect attracting tree species
• Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance
Some tree species for green belt development/plantation are as follows. However tree species
already reported from the project site will be also considered for plantation.

Plant requirement may increase or decrease.
Plantation Monitoring Protocol
• The plantations need to be managed by regular watering, soil enrichment work (applying
manure) weeding and provide proper protection.
• Replacement of sapling (replanting) required whenever mortality occurs in the plantation
during the growth stage.
• Plantation requires after care for a period of minimum four years till the saplings recruit
properly and attain its matured tree stage.
• Any damage to the developed greenbelt due to natural disaster should be redeveloped and
maintained by the agency.

ELECTRICAL HAZARDS SAFETY MEASURE PLAN
DEFINITION
Electrical Hazard –
A dangerous condition such that contact or equipment failure can result in Electric shock, arc-flash
burn, thermal burn, or blast. Electrical hazard includes ‘dangerous’ meaning ‘able or likely to
inflict injury’; there are high voltage, low current sources that are not intrinsically dangerous, and
there are low-voltage, high-current sources that are not ‘safe’. A ‘harmless’ static electricity shock
could cause sufficient startle reaction to make a worker fall off a ladder. A hazard analysis is
necessary to identify electrical hazards and determine the degree of risk. We are considering
different types of measures for preventing electrical hazards which are as follows:
Safe Electrical Installation
� Installation of new electrical systems to a suitable IS standard. Requirements for electrical
installations, and then maintain them in a safe condition;
� Provision of enough socket-outlets - overloading socket-outlets by using adaptors which can
cause fire.
Provision of safe and suitable equipment:
� Proper selection of equipments;
� There will be provision of an accessible and clearly identified switch near each fixed
machine to cut off power in an emergency;
� For portable equipment, there will be use of socket-outlets which are close by so that
equipment will be easily disconnected in an emergency;
� The ends of flexible cables will always have the outer sheath of the cable firmly clamped to
stop the wires (particularly the earth) pulling out of the terminals;
� There will be use of proper connectors or cable couplers to join lengths of cable
� There will be proper protection of light bulbs and other equipment which could easily be
damaged in use. And also creates risk of electric shock if they are broken;
� Electrical equipment used in flammable/explosive atmospheres will be designed to stop it

Reduction of Voltage:-
One of the best ways of reducing the risk of injury when using electrical equipment is to limit the
supply voltage to the lowest needed to get the job done, such as:
Temporary lighting can be run at lower voltages, e.g. 12, 25, 50 or 110 volts;
� Where electrically powered tools are used, battery operated will be safest;
� Portable tools are readily available which are designed to be run from a 110 volts centre-
tapped-to-earth supply.
Provision of safety device
If equipment will be operated at 230 volts or on higher, then the provision of an RCD (residual
current device) will be provided as an additional safety. An RCD is a device which detects some,
but not all, faults in the electrical system and rapidly switches off the supply. RCD will be built
into the main switchboard or the socket-outlet, as this means that the supply cables will be
permanently protected. Additionally a plug incorporating an RCD, or a plug-in RCD adaptor, will
also be provided for an additional safety. RCDs for protecting people have a rated tripping current
(sensitivity) of not more than 30 milliamps (MA).
� An RCD is a valuable safety device, never bypass it;
� If the RCD trips, it is a sign there is a fault.
� The RCD will have a test button to check that its mechanism is free and functioning.
Work safely
We will make sure that people who are working with electricity are competent to do the job. Even
simple tasks such as wiring a plug can lead to danger – we will ensure that people know what they
are doing before they start.
We must not allow work on or near exposed live parts of equipment unless it is absolutely
unavoidable and suitable precautions will be taken to prevent injury, both to the workers and to
anyone else who may be in the area.
Underground power cables
Always assume cables will be present when digging in the street, pavement or near buildings. The
usage will be up-to-date service plans, cable avoidance tools and safe digging practice to avoid
danger.

When working near overhead lines, it may be possible to have them switched off. So, we will k
the safe working distance from the cables.
BASIC PRECAUTIONS:
There are various ways of protecting people from the hazards caused by electricity, including
insulation, guarding, grounding and electrical protective devices. We will significant re
electrical hazards by following some basic precautions.
Insulation
All electrical cords will have sufficient insulation to prevent direct contact with wires. All cords
will be checked before each use, since corrosive chemicals or solvent vapors may erode
insulation. Damaged cords will be repaired or taken out of service immediately, especially in wet
environments such as cold rooms
Guarding
Live parts of electric equipment operating at 50 volts or more will be guarded against accidental
contact. Plexiglas shields may be used to protect against exposed live parts.
Grounding
Only equipment with three

fault circuit interrupter or GFCI, will be used to shutoff electric power if a ground fault is detected.
The GFCI will be particularly used near sinks and wet locations. Since GFCIs will cause
equipment to shutdown unexpectedly, they may not be appropriate for certain apparatus. Portable
GFCI adapters (available in most safety supply catalogs) may be used with a non-GFCI outlet.
Safe Work Practices
The following practices will be used to reduce the risk of injury or fire when working with
electrical equipment:
� Avoid contact with energized electrical circuits.
� Disconnect the power source before servicing or repairing electrical equipment.
� When it is necessary to handle equipment that is plugged in, be sure hands are dry and, when
possible, wear nonconductive gloves and shoes with insulated soles.
� If it is not unsafe to do so, work with only one hand, keeping the other hand at your side or
in your pocket, away from all conductive material. This precaution reduces the likelihood of
accidents that result in current passing through the chest cavity.
� If water or a chemical is spilled onto equipment, shut off power at the main switch or circuit
breaker and unplug the equipment.
� If an individual comes in contact with a live electrical conductor, do not touch the
equipment, cord or person. Disconnect the power source from the circuit breaker or pull out
the plug using a leather belt.
High Voltage or Current
Repairs of high voltage or high current equipment will be performed by trained electricians.
Individuals who are experienced in such tasks and would like to perform such work on their own
equipment must first receive specialized electrical safety related work practices training by EHS
staff.
