Mostly all raw materials are available in local market so, they are already purchased from local

market & so will be continued further. The convenient truck/tanker transportation medium use for

the transportation of raw materials and products with all safety measures and follow the

transportation rules. There is no availability of rail near to proposed project and our transportation

quanity is not full rack quantity, raw materials required as per type of product demand and our

products market is surrounding of the proposed project. So, there is negligible impact on

surrounding environment. Storage detail of raw materials and products are given in Table 2.6

3.7.3 Ambient Air Quality

Reconnaissance:

The quality of ambient air depends upon the background concentrations of specific

contaminants, the emission sources and meteorological conditions. The study on baseline

ambient air quality status in the project area is an essential and primary requirement for

assessing the impacts on air environment due to any proposed developmental activity. The

baseline studies on air environment include identification of specific air pollution parameters

expected to have significant impacts and assessing their existing levels in ambient air within the

impact zone. To assess the baseline status of ambient air quality in the study area, monitoring

is undertaken to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air.

Methodology for air Monitoring: AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored on 24 hourly average bases twice

in a week as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. The conventional and project specific

parameters such as particulate matter PM10 (size less than 10 µm), particulate matter PM2.5

(size less than 2.5µm), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) were monitored.

Selection of Stations for Sampling: Depending upon the purpose of the study IS: 5184 (part XIV) lays down various criteria for selection of sampling stations. For EIA/ EMP, the purpose is to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air. Accordingly, the criterion can be selected to ascertain quality of

air on human settlements or environmentally sensitive areas if any located in the 10 km radius study area. The locations for AAQM study were selected within the 10 km radius of the proposed plant installation. Ambient air quality was monitored on 10 locations to generate representative ambient air quality data. The sampling locations are shown in Figure 3.7 and listed in Table 3.4.

3.8 Noise Environment

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies

that it has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can also disturb

natural wildlife and ecological system.

The objective of the noise pollution survey in the study area was to identify existing noise sources

and to measure background noise levels. The collection of baseline noise environment data

included following steps:

Reconnaissance

In order to measure the existing noise sources and to identify the background noise levels, the

noise pollution survey around the proposed site was carried out. The collection of baseline noise

environment data included identification of noise sources and to measure background noise

levels due to transportation and other local activity.

Methodology for Noise Monitoring

Noise standards have been designated as per the Noise pollution (Regulation & Control) Rules,

2000 Notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi, February 14, 2000. The

ambient noise standards are presented in Equivalent noise levels (Leq.) have been measured

twice a week during study period.The measurements were carried out at each monitoring

location during day time and night time.

Noise Monitoring Locations

A total of 10 locations were identified for ambient noise monitoring in the study area. The noise

monitoring locations are given in Table 3.7.

3.9 Water Quality

Reconnaissance Survey

Reconnaissance survey has been done for water quality monitoring in the study area. The

baseline water quality of ground water/surface water in the region is obtained by collecting

sample from villages in the area considering the 10 km radius for the baseline study.

Methodology of Monitoring

In order to establish the baseline water quality, ground water and surface water sampling

locations were selected based on availability, following standard norms and requirement. Ground

water samples were collected from the identified hand pumps and bore wells for the

characterization of water quality. Selection of surface water sampling locations has been

considered as per the utilization pattern of the villagers for domestic/ drinking purposes.

The samples collected were preserved, stored and analyzed as per standards methods of

Analysis of Water and Waste Water (APHA, 1995).

3.10 Soil Environment

Soil is the most important natural resource and a natural resource is anything that comes from

the earth and is used by us. We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay and

water. Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc.

These are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by

which essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made up of two main parts:

Draft EIA REPORT



Tiny bits of mineral pArticales which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in

color and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.

Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms, round

worms, insects, etc. Actually more organisms live in the soil than above it.

Methodology

The soil samples were collected from 10 selected locations during pre monsoon season. The

samples collected were homogeneous representative of each sampling location. At random sub

locations were identified at each location and soil samples were collected from 5 to 15 cm below

the surface. It was uniformly mixed before homogenizing the soil samples. The samples about

500 gm were packed in polythene bags labelled in the field with location number and sent to the

laboratory for the analysis of physicochemical parameters.

Soil Sampling Locations

Soil sampling was conducted once during the study period of Pre-monsoon season. 10 soil

samples were collected from selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed project. For

studying soil quality environment in the study area, sampling locations were selected to assess

the existing soil conditions in and around the proposed plant area representing various land use

conditions. The homogenized samples were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics.

3.11 Biological Environment

Biological resources of the area are an indicator of quality/health of the environment of the area.

Therefore, the study of the same is an important aspect to minimize the distribution due to the

intervention of the proposed project to accept in a sustainable approach. To achieve the goal,

EIA study was conducted during the month of March’19 to May’19 to cover all the biological

parameters.

Nature supports a great variety of living beings under a structural and functional unit called

ecosystem. In any natural ecosystem, there are several components which exist in harmony and

survive only by interdependence. These components may be either biotic or abiotic.

Developmental activities often have great impacts on the biodiversity both ecosystems as well

as species level. Present study has been carried out to inventories the biodiversity exist in the

study area of present project, to evaluate the possible impacts on biodiversity due to project

activities and suggest effective mitigation measures against the negative impacts.

The ecological study was undertaken to understand the present status of ecosystem of the area,

to predict changes as a result of proposed activities and to suggest measures for maintaining

the conditions. This carried through primary survey and secondary data collected from various

Government agencies like Forest Department, Agriculture Department, Scientific literatures etc.

The proposed project area is located in the western edge of Daccan plateau which s a volcanic

formation and underlain by the baseline lava flows. These flows are normally horizontally

disposed over a wide stretch and give rise to table land type of topography also known a plateau.

Biodiversity of this area is greatly influence by the mountain ranges of Western Ghats which

block rainfall and hence the area receives relatively rainfall.

Floral Compositions

The floristic survey was carried out in and around the project site. Overall structure of the

vegetation in this area was scattered forest patches intercepted with scrubland and grassland.

Most of the study area is under human settlement and agricultural practice. The grasses were

found growing on open places, agricultural area and near human settlements. The most common

grasses Aristida sp., Brachiara sp., Digitaria sp., Heteropogon sp., Themeda sp., Sporobolus

sp., Cenchrus barbatus, Lasiurus hirsutus and Cymbopogon jwarancusa are found to grow in

this region. These grasses are useful as fodder and also check the soil erosion in the area.

The agricultural practice is mainly depending on monsoon water. The main crops cultivated in

the region are Rice, lab lab bean, cowpea, black gram, horse gram, finger millet, prosomilletand

groundnut. Some irrigated part of the area has vegetables like okra, brinjal and leafy vegetables.

The floral composition of the study area is mostly tropical deciduous type. The various terrestrial

plants available in the study area are reported in below table. Heavy rainfall, moderate and humid

climatic condition favors the richness of flora in study area

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Prelude

This chapter identifies and predicts the potential impacts on different environmental components

due to the construction and operation of the proposed project. It details all the potential impacts

on biophysical and socio-economic components of the local environment due to the proposed

activities and sub-activities.

This chapter presents identification and appraisal of the likely impacts due to the proposed of

M/s. Shree Vallabh Chemical (Unit-II) at Survey No.: 703/P/1, Village: Kanera, Taluka : Kheda,

District : Kheda, Gujarat, India.Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the

Environmental Impact Assessment studies. Several qualitative and quantitative techniques and

methodologies are used to conduct analysis of the potential impacts likely to build up as a result

of the proposed development activities on physico-chemical, ecological and socio-economic

environments. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of the

environmental quality to derive at the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental

conditions. The prediction and identification of impacts helps to minimize the adverse impacts

and maximize the beneficial impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project

execution.

4.2 Valued Environmental Components and Potential Impacts

The project activities will interact with various valued Environmental Components viz., air, water,

soil, land, flora & fauna, etc. The components that may be affected due to the proposed

manufacturing of emulsifier and de-emulsifier and require focused evaluation are summarized in

the following sub-sections, considering both construction phase as well as operation phase of

the project.

4.3 Potential Impacts during Project Operation

• Impact on Air Environment

• Impact on Noise Environment

• Impact on Water Environment

• Impact due to Solid Waste/ Hazardous Waste

• Impact due to storage and handling of chemicals

Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Construction Phase Air Environment, Noise

Environment, Land Environment, Solid and Hazardous waste, Site Security and Safety, Water

Environment, Soil Environment, Socio- economic Environment, Health and Well-being of

Construction Workers.

During minor construction phase of the project, activities like excavation, grading, transportation

& storage of construction material, civil construction, mechanicalfabrication & erection will be

carried out at the minimum level because there are nomajor changes to occur for the proposed

plant except installation of few newtypes of machinery. During construction phase, major impacts

anticipated will beincrease in dust contamination and noise. However, these impacts will be

limited up toconstruction period only.

Draft EIA REPORT



4.4 Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Operation phase

Some of the potentially significant environmental impacts from the proposed project will be in

Water environment, Land environment, Air environment, Soild- Hazardous waste, Soil quality,

socioeconomics, Ecology & biodiversity, Odour problem and Energy conservation.

Air Environment

Long term impacts on the air quality are anticipated due to operational activities. The

baselineambient air quality status in the study area during post monsoon season indicates that

all the criteria pollutants (gaseous as well as particulates), viz., PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO,

etc. are well within the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS set by

CPCB). The process involves burning of woodchips in the thermic fluid heater. As a result, stack

emissions would be constituted of mainly Sulphur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and

particulate matters. The emission will be compared with CPCB standard.

Air Quality Modelling

AERMOD View – Lake Environmental Software, which is a Gaussian-Plume atmospheric

dispersion algorithm for estimating concentration of pollutant, has been used to predict the

Ground Level Concentrations (GLC’s) of PM10, SO2 and NOx due to plant activity. The GLC’s

were predicted on 24 hourly average basis keeping in view the prescribed national ambient air

quality standards (NAAQS).

Data used for Modeling

The hourly meteorological data along with emission rate for individual pollutants used for

prediction of air quality impacts as given in chapter 2 has been taken into consideration.

Particulate matter (PM10)

The predicted concentrations of PM10 for Post Monsoon season are shown in the form of

isopleths in Figure 4.2 and Table 4.2.

Draft EIA REPORT



The prediction results corresponding to PM10, SO2 and NOxas shown above indicate that theair

quality impacts with respect to pollutants exclusively from the proposed projects would be

insignificant and the post-project status shall remain under prescribed NAAQS for Industrial,

Residential and other areas.

Also, during the operation phase of the project, the impacts on air quality due to vehicular

emissions will be very less. Considering the nature of activities, which the proposedproject will

result, less number of vehicular movements within the site and low threshold values, air

pollution is not expected to be a major concern. It is for these reasons that the ambient air

quality predictions using models have not been carried out for fugitive emissions from vehicles.

ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM

6.1 Environmental Monitoring Program

Environmental monitoring describes the processes and activities that need to take place to

characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental monitoring is used in

the Preparation of environmental impact assessments, as well as in many circumstances in

which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring

strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish

the current status of an environment or to establish trends in environmental parameters.

Environmental Monitoring Network is operation phase of the project for monitoring of various

environmental parameters like air, water, noise, soil etc.

6.2 Objectives of Monitoring

• To comply with the statutory requirements of monitoring for compliance with

conditionsof EC, NOC and CC&A.

• To comply with the provision of factory Act.

• To verify the result of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to

newdevelopment.

• Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition

toplan additional mitigation measures; if & as required.

• To check or assess the efficiency of the controlling measures.

• To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact

assessmentstudy, do not become critical through the commissioning of new project.

• To establish a data base for future impact assessment studies for new project.

6.3 Environmental Monitoring Program

Environmental Monitoring should be carried out during operation phase of the project.

Monitoring and Reporting Procedure

Regular monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters is of immense

importance toassess the status of the environment during operational phase. With the

knowledge of baseline condition, the monitoring program can serve as an indicator for any

deterioration in environmental conditions due to operational phase and suitable mitigation

steps could be taken in time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is as important as that

of control of pollution since theefficiency of control measures can only be determined by

monitoring. The proposed monitoring program gives below:

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

Both ambient air quality and stack emission will be monitored. The ambient air quality with

respectto NOx, SO2, suspended particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) will be monitored in at

least 3-4locations in and around the project site through a reputed environmental laboratory

recognized byMoEF/NABL. Monitoring will be carried out for a period of 24 hours, every month

during construction phase and quarterly in operation phase. Similarly, all the stacks in the

proposed unit will be monitored once in three months with respect to NOx, SO2, Suspended

particulate matter (SPM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) level.

Draft EIA REPORT



Water monitoring

Ground water monitoring locations will be identified and periodically check the Physical,

chemical as well as biological parameter as per drinking water standard IS 10500: 2012.

Noise level monitoring

Monitoring of the noise level is essential to assess the effectiveness of Environmental

Management Plan implemented to reduce noise levels. A good quality sound level meter and

noise exposure meter may be procured for the same. Audiometric tests shall be conducted

periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. The noise levels due

to machines and equipments will be monitored regularly.

6.4 Monitoring Equipment and Consumables

A well-equipped laboratory with consumable items will be provided for monitoring of important environmental parameters. Alternatively, monitoring can be outsourced from MoEF/NABL recognized laboratory.

7.3 Action plan for the transportation of raw material and products

7.3.1 The following major raw materials and products being transported

to the facility and from the facility

• Ethylene Oxide

• Fatty Alcohols

• Nonyl Phenol, Octyl Phenol

• Hydrogenated Castor oil

• Styrene Monomer

• Di-Propylene Glycol

• Potassium Hydroxide (or Sodium Hydroxide ) Flakes as a catalyst

• The ethylene oxide condensates ( Ethoxylated Products) of all the above

• Diesel

• Coal – Anthracite coal

7.3.2 Transportation and handling of Ethylene oxide

Of all the above products ethylene oxide transportation is most hazardous as it is both

flammable and toxic. It is transported in a pressured tanker at a pressure of 4 to 5

Kg/cm2. The transportation of this material is done in a liquefied stage at higher pressure

and low temperature of about 4 to 6 °C, in an insulated tanker. Following precautions

are taken for transportation of this material.

• The responsibility of the transportation lies with the supplier only.

• The road tanker is filled at a temperature of 2 to 4°C and at a pressure of 4 to 5 kg/cm2

• The tanker is fully insulated to minimize the heat gain during transportation. The

material of insulation should be compatible with EO.

• The tanker is fully equipped with safety equipment and accessories like safety valve,

pressure gauge, temperature gauge and fire extinguisher.

• The driver and cleaner are fully trained in handling the Ethylene Oxide related

emergencies which are likely on the road.

• The route of the vehicle is planned in such a way that busy and populated areas are

avoided.

• The ethylene oxide is purchased and transported from the nearest location (From

Vadodara facility of RIL) as far as possible.

• The estimated transportation time is 6 to 8 hours (The distance from Vadodara

manufacturing facility of RIL is about 125 km).

• In case there is any mishap on the road or the tanker develops the leak, then it is

handled by supplier i.e. (RIL) for which they have a 24 hr emergency and rescue teams

are available at their Vadodara plant.

Draft EIA REPORT



• The material of construction: of the tanker is stainless steel only as any

contamination of tanker can result in initiating polymerization reaction which is

exothermic and can cause bursting of the container/tanker.

• Tank fittings and attachments in contact with Ethylene Oxide shall also be of the above-

mentioned materials, and may not contain copper or alloys of copper and/or

magnesium.

• The tanker is never filled up to the bream. Some empty space is left to allow for the

expansion of the liquid.

• The road tanker is not allowed to keep waiting in the open sun either on the road or in

the factory premises to minimize the heat gain.

• The tanker is emptied in the Ethylene Oxide storage tank only when the tank is empty.

• The unloading is done by nitrogen pressure. The pumping of Ethylene Oxide is avoided

in order to control fugitive emissions of EO.

• Use of dedicated tankers: The EO tankers are dedicated for the transportation of EO

only. This is to avoid contamination and polymerization of EO. If it gets polymerized it

will choke the inlet outlet lines and safety valve.

• Parking the vehicle - Drivers must ensure that the vehicle is either supervised or is

parked in a secure place. No potential source of heat or fire must exist in the vicinity,

and the vehicle must be capable of being easily removed in an emergency.

• The parking of the vehicle is to be avoided as far as possible. Drivers must inform the

hauler of their overnight parking location.

• Delays or accidents: - All delays during transport, whether due to severe weather

conditions, breakdown or other reasons must be reported to the consignor as soon as

possible. Transport accidents must also be reported to the consignor as soon as

possible

• Pressure and temperature checks :- For road transport the pressure and/or

temperature of the tank contents should be checked regularly and recorded on a

checklist or in a logbook

• Emergency procedure: - Drivers should be given precise instructions as to the

acceptable pressure and temperature rise during the journey, and the emergency

action to be taken in the event that readings in excess of acceptable levels are

observed.

• The design of the road tankers / tank containers must guarantee a complete

unloading of the road tankers/tank containers. Criterion: less than 5 litres remaining

product.

• The ethylene oxide tanker is padded with nitrogen to avoid self-polymerization of EO

vapour.

• The loading and unloading operation of the tanker should be situated at the safe

distance from the storage tanks.

• After loading the tanker is pressured with nitrogen to ensure the gas phase remains

inert even up to 50 °C.

• The drivers of the tanker to check that the pressure of the tanker does not rize above

10 Kg/cm2 or temp do not rise above 50 °C.

• The valves of the tanker may get choked due to polymerization of EO, hence they

should be cleaned periodically.

Draft EIA REPORT



• The tanker should not be kept empty containing vapour of EO for long times to avoid

polymerization of EO. It should be purged and maintained under nitrogen pressure.

7.3.3 Precautions while unloading the tanker

• During loading or unloading the vehicle must be earthed. Ensure double earthing to

avoid any static charge accumulation

• The oxygen content of the tanker should be less than 0.3% by vol. before loading of

EO

• The operator should wear breathing apparatus before loading or unloading ethylene.

• After connection the hose must be purged with nitrogen to make it free from Oxygen

• The flange joints and other connections to be checked with soap solution for leakage.

It should be kept in mind that the thresh hold limit for EO in air is 1 ppm only.

• The key of the vehicle should be removed

• The vehicle hand brake is to be put on.

• The wheel chocks should be applied during loading unloading to stop accidental

movement of vehicle.

• Hand brake should be applied when the tanker is getting loaded or unloaded.

• The driver should be near the vehicle during loading unloading operation.

• The vehicle should be parked in the shed when it is loaded or unloaded.

7.3.3.1 Storage and handling of Hydrogen Peroxide

• The hydrogen peroxide is used in the process as a bleaching agent, if required not

routinly. Whenever the product has a yellowish tinge about 1litre of hydrogen peroxide

is added to the reactor to make a colourless liquid.

• The hydrogen peroxide is brought in a 50 litre carboys

• It is stored in a shed away from the other material as it is a strong oxidizing agent.

7.3.3.2 Storage and handling of alkyl phenols

• The alkyl phenols are the main raw materials for the facility. The alkyl phenols mainly

used are Nonyl Phenol, Dodesyl Phenol and Octyl Phenol.

• These are mostly available in liquid form

• They are purchased in the 200 litres HDPE drums or MS Drums and brought to the

factory in the transport truck.

• They are stored in the factory main storage area.

• The liquid from the drums is transferred to the reactor by a portable pump, the pump

is mounted on the top of the drum and the suction pipe is dipped in the drum upto the

bottom.

• The remaining liquid is manually poured in a small container of about 10 to 20 litres in

size and is pumped to the reactor.

• Secondary containment in the form of a tray is used to control the spillage of the

material

• All the used drums are sold to the authorized and GPCB approved recyclers

Draft EIA REPORT



7.3.3.3 Storage and handling of castor oil, hydrogenated castor oil and fatty

alcohol

The castor oil and fatty alcohol are liquids with a similar properties like alkyl phenols and

they are brought in 200 litres MS or HDPE drums by road trucks.

They are handled in the similar way like an alkyl phenols.

1. Storage and Handling of PEG (polyethylene glycol)

• PEG is the main raw material for the production of Poly-Sol a de-emulsifier used in

crude oil processing to separate oil from the water.

• PEG is the higher boiling glycol. It is in liquid form. It is procured in 200 liters MS

or HDPE drums.

• The drums are transported in the road truck and stored in a separate area in the

raw material storage shed.

• Occasionally the material is supplied in the road tanker. The road tanker material

is emptied in the 200 litres HDPE drums. They are stored in the shed away from

the direct sunlight.

• The PEG is transferred to the reactor from the drum by the portable pump which

can be mounted on the drum top.

• The used drums are sold to the authorized recyclers.

2. Storage and handling of potash flakes or caustic flakes

• The caustic or potassium hydroxide is used as a catalyst for the initiation of

ethoxylation reaction

• The material is purchased and is available in 25 kg or 50 kg HDPE lined woven

sacks.

• This is transported by the road truck.

• Since the material is highly hygroscopic, the bags are tightly closed after taking out

the material.

• A 30 % or 50 % caustic or potash solution is made in water for use as a catalyst.

• Adequate PPE is used while handling the flakes, especially the use of hand gloves

and goggles is must while handling.

• Since the material is harmful to skin and eyes adequate training in handling this

material is given to workers.

• The empty bags are fully washed and decontaminated before selling or recycling

them for storage of other product.

3. Diesel

• Diesel will be used as fuel for running the DG set in case of power failure.

• The quantity of diesel required is depends on the running of DG set. But it is about

100 liters per month.

• . Diesel is available on the nearby petrol pump

• It is brought in a 35 or 50 liters carboys and is transferred to the tank in the DG set.

• The carboys are dedicated for diesel

• All necessary safety precautions are taken as diesel is a flammable liquid.

4. Coal

• The facility will be set up a coal fired boiler for production of steam

• The coal requirement is about 2 MT per day.

Draft EIA REPORT



• Imported coal or Anthracite coal is procured through the dealers is delivered to the

site by Road Lorries.

• The coal is stored in shed near the boiler and is manually fed to the boiler to

maintain boiler pressure.

• Big lumps of coal are broken into small pieces manually for feeding to the boiler.

• Since coal can catch fire on its own in the open storage, regular water spraying is

done the coal.

• Big heaps of coal is avoided to reduce chances of fire.

5. Storage and handling of ethoxylate products:

All ethoxylate products are in liquid form and near to similar properties and sell in 200

liters capacity HDPE drums by road. Handling of product like similar way of raw material.

7.4 Details of occupational health programme

7.4.1 To which chemicals, workers are exposed directly or indirectly

The following chemicals are being used as raw materials in the plant

I) Ethylene Oxide

II) Hydrogen Peroxide

III) Fatty alcohols

IV) Nonyl Phenol, Octyl Phenol & Dodecyl Phenol

V) Castor oil & Hydrogenated Castor oil.

VI) Polyethylene Glycol (PEG)

VII) Potassium Hydroxide (or Sodium Hydroxide) Flakes as a catalyst.

VIII) The Ethylene Oxide condensates ( Ethoxylated Products of all the

above)

7.4.2 Whether these chemicals are within Threshold Limit Values (TLV) /

Permissible Exposure Levels as per ACGIH recommendation?

In the expanded facility of Shree Vallabh Chemical. The most hazardous chemical

handled is Ethylene oxide. The TLV and PEL values of the Ethylene Oxide are

I. A. TLV – 8 Hour weighted average (TWA) Value – 1.8 mg/M3 or 1 ppm

B. TLV – Immediate Danger to life or health (IDLV) value – 800 ppm

The above values are as per the US notification of Jan 2009. (ACGIH)

II. The PEL exposure value as per OHSA , United states Nov 2006 is

A STEL– Short term Exposure limit is 5 ppm for 15 minutes & 1 ppm for 8 Hrs

(TWA)

The other materials are mostly in liquid form and mostly with high boiling points

hence their concentration in the working atmosphere is very low and do not pose

any health danger to the persons working.

Draft EIA REPORT



7.4.3 What measures company has taken to keep these chemicals within

PEL/TLV.?

The following measures and precautions will be taken to keep the concentrations of

EO in the working atmosphere below the PEL / TLV

• The main storage tank (pressurized vessel) is installed in the open outside the

building and is under the shed.

• The transfer of Ethylene Oxide material to the reactor and to the measuring tank is

by pipe line and is under nitrogen pressure.

• Manual handling of the hazardous material like Ethylene Oxide is not there.

• Minimum flange joints are used in the pipeline to minimize the chances of Ethylene

Oxide leakage.

• The joints are regularly checked with soap solution for leakages.

• The area where ethylene oxide is handled is well ventilated. The use of Eco

ventilators is being done.

• Exhaust fans and windows are fitted on the wall at lower level to keep the area free

from pollutants. (EO vapour are heavier than air try to stick to the lower levels.)

• Regular monitoring of the workplace is done by using drägar tubes and monitors.

• The workers have been provided adequate PPE’s like breather mask, face mask

to carry out critical operations like shut down, or maintenance of equipments where

there is chance of exposure.

• Permit system is strictly enforced for carrying out maintenance and non-routine

jobs.

• Staff and workers are well trained in the operations and to avoid exposure to

dangerous chemicals.

• The vent of the condensation reactor is dipped in the water bath. The water in the

water bath is changed daily. Ethylene Oxide vapour if any in the vent gases are

absorbed in the water. The water in the water bath is sent to the waste water

treatment facility.

• There is a double mechanical seal on the agitator of the reactors. This ensure that

there is no fugitive emission of Ethylene Oxide

• There is a safety valve on the reactor which is set at 7 Kg pressure ( g)

• The reactor and other vessels containing EO are purged thoroughly to make them

free from EO before opening

• LDAR program is enforced for Ethylene Oxide and steam lines (Leak Detection

and Repair) program.

• Fugitive emission control – Since the Ethylene Oxide storage is under pressure

and no direct vent is provided the fugitive emission of ethylene oxide is zero.

1. How the workers are evaluated concerning their exposure to chemicals

during pre-placement and periodical medical monitoring?

As per policy and norms all of the workmen are put to medical examination and testing

periodically and at set interval and based on the medical report actions are taken, if at

all anything is necessary and required. Even based on the medical examination report

/ feedback, workmen are counselled and put in different area / job rotation kind of

activities. Medical record should be maintained in office.

Draft EIA REPORT



The pre-placement and periodical medical examination records are to be maintained

in the prescribed format as per the Factories Act 1948 and Gujarat Factories Rules

1963.

7.4.4 What are onsite and offsite emergency plan during chemical

disaster

7.4.4.1 Onsite Emergency Response

The following types of emergencies are possible in the facility which handling

flammable and dangerous material like Ethylene Oxide

a. Fire

b. Gas leak / toxic release.

c. Spillage of liquid chemical from 200 liters drums.

d. Accident involving human injury

In case of the above emergencies the company has well defined and documented

emergency management procedure, this procedure is described in short in the

following paragraphs

• Shut down and Isolation: Raising the alarm, followed by immediate safe shut

down of the processes, reactors, power supply, and isolation of affected areas

• Escape, Evacuation and Rescue: Safeguarding human lives at site by

commencement of the Emergency Evacuation and Rescue Plan. Ensuring

that all personnel are accounted for and carrying out a head count of persons

evacuated. Notification and commencement of offsite emergency plan in case

offsite impacts are possible The persons should be asked to gather at the

designated place.(Emergency assembly Points)

• Stopping the development of the emergency: Control or response to the

emergency depending upon its nature (fire, toxic release or explosion). Fire

can be somewhat better controlled through fire fighting, while toxic release

impacts can be partially controlled through proper communication with

affected population. Impacts of explosions impacts cannot be controlled once

they occur, hence efforts will require focusing on provision of relief or control

of secondary impacts (such as property damage or fires) resulting from

explosions.

• Treatment of injured: First aid and hospitalization of injured persons

• Protection of environment and property: During mitigation, efforts should

be made to prevent impacts on environment and property to the extent

possible.

• Welfare of the personnel managing the emergency: Changeover, first aid

and refreshments for the persons managing the emergency

• Informing and assisting relatives of the victims

• Informing the news and electronic media

• Preserving all evidences and records: This should be done to enable a

thorough investigation of the true causes of the emergency

Draft EIA REPORT



• Investigation and follow up: This requires to be carried out to establish

preventive measures for the future and a review of the DMP and fill up the

deficiencies in the emergency planning procedures

• Ensuring safety of personnel prior to restarting of operations: Efforts

require to be made to ensure that work environment is safe prior to restarting

the work.

• In case of fire: If there is a fire and there is little personal risk, use appropriate

extinguisher if you have been trained in its proper use. If the fire is very small,

it may be extinguished by smothering it with a non flammable material such

as a sand, watch glasses or metal sheet. Turn off electrical circuit and gas

lines.

7.4.4.2 Off-site Emergency Response Plan

• An emergency may affect areas offsite of the works as for example, an explosion

can scatter debris over wide areas and the effects of blast can cover considerable

distances, wind can spread burning brands of gases.

• In some cases e.g. as the result of an explosion, outside damage will be immediate

and part of the available resources of the emergency services may need to be

deployed in the affected areas. In any case, the possibility of further damage may

remain, e.g. as the result of further explosion or by the effect of wind spreading

burning brands of hazardous material.

• It will be necessary to prepare in advance simple charts or tables relating the likely

spread of the vapours cloud taking into account its expected buoyancy, the local

topography and all possible weather conditions during the time of release.

• It may also be desirable to install instruments indicating wind speed and direction,

which could be done jointly with surrounding industries.

1. First aid treatment plan should be taken if any employee get injured in any

emergency situation as follows:

• In all actual or suspected cases of exposure to EO, medical attention should be

obtained at once and the patient should always be removed from the contaminated

area.

• All contaminated clothing should be removed immediately.

• Remove from exposure. If unconscious secure airway and place in semi prone

recovery position. If not breathing give artificial respiration.

• If heart beat absent give external cardiac compression.

• If there is cyanosis (blueness of the lips) administer oxygen by face mask. If there is

breathing difficulty or cough keep patient at rest seated in position of maximum

comfort. Refer to hospital or doctor risk of delayed symptoms.

• Remove all contaminated clothing to a safe ventilated place or a sealed container.

• In case of skin contamination wash immediately with plenty of clean, gently flow

water.

• In case of eye contamination wash the eye immediately with plenty of clean, gently

flow water for 10 minutes. Then send promptly to a doctor or hospital.

Draft EIA REPORT



• Cover skin burns with a sterile dressing.

• If patient appears confused, excited or uncoordinated use only minimal restraint

necessary for safety and treatment.

• If patient is conscious permit water to drink.

2. Liver function tests (LFT) during pre-placement and periodical examination

Ethylene Oxide may also damage the liver and kidneys in case of chronic exposure.

Hence Lever function and kidney tests will be done during pre –placement and

during periodical medical checkup once in a years for those workers who are likely

to get exposed to Ethylene Oxide. More detailed information on various tests to be

performed for those working in EO handling areas is given in next para on

occupational health surveillance program.

3. Details of occupational health surveillance program

• Medical surveillance program

The EO has been linked to an increased risk of cancer and reproductive effects

including decreased male fertility, fetotoxicity, and spontaneous abortion. At the

present, limited studies of chronic effects in humans resulting from exposure to EO

suggest a causal association with leukemia. Adequate screening tests to determine an

employee's potential for developing serious chronic diseases, such as cancer, from

exposure to EO do not presently exist. Laboratory tests may give evidence to suggest

that an employee is potentially overexposed to EO. The physician must become

familiar with the signs and symptoms that indicate a worker is receiving otherwise

unrecognized and unacceptable exposure to EO. The employer is required to institute

a medical surveillance program for all employees who are or will be exposed to EO at

or above the action level (0.5 ppm) for at least 30 days per year, without regard to

respirator use.

Although broad latitude in prescribing specific tests to be included in the medical

surveillance program is extended to the examining physician, OSHA requires inclusion

of the following elements in the routine examination:

(i) Medical and work histories with special emphasis directed to symptoms related to

the pulmonary, hematologic, neurologic, and reproductive systems and to the eyes

and skin.

(ii) Physical examination with particular emphasis given to the pulmonary, hematologic,

neurologic, and reproductive systems and to the eyes and skin.

(iii) Complete blood count to include at least a white cell count (including differential

cell count), red cell count, hematocrit, and hemoglobin.

(iv) Any laboratory or other test which the examining physician deems necessary by

sound medical practice.

The employer is required to make the prescribed tests available at least annually to

employees who are or will be exposed at or above the action level, for 30 or more days

Draft EIA REPORT



per year; more often than specified if recommended by the examining physician; and

upon the employee's termination of employment or reassignment to another work area.

While little is known about the long term consequences of high short-term exposures,

it appears prudent to monitor such affected employees closely in light of health data.

The employer shall provide physician recommended examinations to any employee

exposed to EO in emergency conditions. Likewise, the employer shall make available

medical consultations including physician recommended exams to employees who

believe they are suffering signs or symptoms of exposure to EO.

The employer is required to provide the physician with the following information: a

description of the affected employee's duties as they relate to the employee exposure

level; and information from the employee's previous medical examinations which is not

readily available to the examining physician. Making this information available to the

physician will aid in the evaluation of the employee's health in relation to assigned

duties and fitness to wear personal protective equipment, when required.

The employer is required to obtain a written opinion from the examining physician

containing the results of the medical examinations; the physician's opinion as to

whether the employee has any detected medical conditions which would place the

employee at increased risk of material impairment of his or her health from exposure

to EO; any recommended restrictions upon the employee's exposure to EO, or upon

the use of protective clothing or equipment such as respirators; and a statement that

the employee has been informed by the physician of the results of the medical

examination and of any medical conditions which require further explanation or

treatment. This written opinion must not reveal specific findings or diagnoses unrelated

to occupational exposure to EO, and a copy of the opinion must be provided to the

affected employee.

7.5 Details of occupational Health/Safety surveillance Requirements:

Occupational Health

• Plan and fund allocation to ensure the occupational health & safety of all contract and casual workers.

• Details of exposure specific health status evaluation of worker, if the workers' health is being evaluated by pre-designed format, chest x rays, Audiometry, Spirometry, Vision testing (Far & Near vision, colour vision and any other ocular defect), ECG, during pre-placement and periodical exam nations give the details of the same. Details regarding last month analyzed data of above mentioned parameters as per age, sex, duration of exposure and department wise.

7.6 QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT

7.6.1 INTRODUCTION

QRA study for, M/s. Shree Vallabh Chemical has been carried out based on data provided by

them. The study has been carried out in accordance with the International codes of practices

using PHAST (Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool) – 6.53 software. The latest version of

the renowned PHAST Risk software package of DNV is used for carrying out the risk analysis.

The full terms of potential hazardous scenarios and consequence events associated with the

installation and operation was considered in the analysis. Based on the operations to be carried

at the plant, the Risk Analysis, affected distances and the damage of property and population

from the identified scenarios considering the Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) & Worst

case scenario of the phenomenon occur. Maximum credible loss scenarios have been worked

based on the inbuilt safety systems and protection measures to be provided for the operation of

the facility & the Worst case scenario i.e. 100% catastrophic rupture have been worked out based

on failure of the inbuilt safety system.

We have assumed Maximum credible loss scenario (MCLS) i.e. Nozzle failure and Worst case

Scenario i.e. catastrophic rupture as per the guidelines suggested by DNV – UK. Similarly,

maximum inventory at the time of failure is assumed.

7.6.2 OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY

The main objective QRA (Quantitative Risk Analysis) is to determine the potential risks of major

disasters having damage potential to life and property and provide a scientific basis for decision

makers to be satisfied about the safety levels of the facilities to be set up. This is achieved by

the following:

• Identification of hazards that could be realized from process plant.

• Identify the potential failure scenarios that could occur within the facility.

• To Asses, the potential risks associated with identified hazards to which the plant and its

personal and community outside may be subjected. Consequences analysis of various

hazards is carried out to determine the vulnerable zones for each probable accident scenario.

• Evaluate the process hazards emanating from the identified potential accident scenarios.

• Analyze the damage effects to the surroundings due to such accidents.

• Conclusion and Recommendation to mitigate measures to reduce the hazard / risks.

• To provide guidelines for the preparation of On-site response plan.

7.6.4 USE OF QRA RESULTS

The techniques used for risk prediction within the QRA have inherent uncertainties associated

with them due to the necessary simplifications required. In addition, QRA incorporates a certain

amount of subjective engineering judgment and the results are subject to levels of uncertainty.

For this reason, the results should not be used as the sole basis for decision making and should

not drive deviations from sound engineering practice. The results should be used as a tool to aid

engineering judgment and, if used in this way, can provide valuable information during the

decision making process.

The QRA results are dependent on the assumptions made in the calculations, which are clearly

documented throughout the following sections of this report. Conservative assumptions have

been used, which helps to remove the requirement for detailed analysis of the uncertainty. The

results show the significant contributions to the overall risk and indicate where worthwhile gains

may be achieved if further enhancement of safety is deemed necessary.

7.6.5 SOFTWARE USED

PHAST 6.53 (latest version) has been used for consequence analysis include discharge and

dispersion calculations.

7.6.6 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

The consequences of released toxic or flammable material are largely dependent on the

prevailing weather conditions. For the assessment of major scenarios involving release of toxic

or flammable materials, the most important meteorological parameters are those that affect the

atmospheric dispersion of the escaping material. The crucial variables are wind direction, wind

speed, atmospheric stability and temperature. Rainfall does not have any direct bearing on the

results of the risk analysis; however, it can have beneficial effects by absorption / washout of

released materials. Actual behavior of any release would largely depend on prevailing weather

condition at the time of release.

7.6.7 ATMOSPHERIC PARAMETERS

The Climatological data which have been used for the study is summarized below:

Table 7-3 Climatological data

S. No. Parameter Max Min. Annual Average

1. Ambient Temperature (°C) 35 25 33.6

2. Relative Humidity (%) 60 27 38.5

The average value of the atmospheric parameters is assumed for the study.

7.6.7.1 Wind Speed and Wind Direction

The wind speed and wind direction data which have been used for the study is summarized

below:

Wind Speed : 1.5 m/s & 5 m/s

Atmospheric Stability : F and D

Wind Direction : SW.

7.6.7.2 Weather Category

One of the most important characteristics of atmosphere is its stability. Stability of

atmosphere is its tendency to resist vertical motion or to suppress turbulence. This

tendency directly influences the ability of atmosphere to disperse pollutants emitted into

it from the facilities. In most dispersion scenarios, the relevant atmospheric layer is that

nearest to the ground, varying in thickness from a few meters to a few thousand meters.

Turbulence induced by buoyancy forces in the atmosphere is closely related to the

vertical temperature gradient.

Temperature normally decreases with increasing height in the atmosphere. The rate at

which the temperature of air decreases with height is called Environmental Lapse Rate

(ELR). It will vary from time to time and from place to place. The atmosphere is said to

be stable, neutral or unstable according to ELR is less than, equal to or greater than Dry

Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR), which is a constant value of 0.98°C/100 meters.

Pas-quill stability parameter, based on Pas-quill – Gifford categorization, is such a

meteorological parameter, which describes the stability of atmosphere, i.e., the degree

of convective turbulence. Pas-quill has defined six stability classes ranging from `A'

(extremely unstable) to `F' (moderately stable). Wind speeds, intensity of solar radiation

(daytime insulation) and nighttime sky cover have been identified as prime factors

defining these stability categories.

When the atmosphere is unstable and wind speeds are moderate or high or gusty, rapid

dispersion of pollutants will occur. Under these conditions, pollutant concentrations in air

will be moderate or low and the material will be dispersed rapidly. When the atmosphere

is stable and wind speed is low, dispersion of material will be limited and pollutant

concentration in air will be high. In general, worst dispersion conditions (i.e. contributing

Draft EIA REPORT



to greater hazard distances) occur during low wind speed and very stable weather

conditions.

7.6.8 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

Consequences of loss of containment can lead to hazardous situation in any industry

handling potentially hazardous materials. Following factors govern the severity of

consequence of the loss of containment.

• Intrinsic properties; flammability, instability and toxicity.

• Dispersive energy; pressure, temperature and state of matter.

• Quantity present

• Environmental factors; topography and weather.

Consequence analysis and calculations are effectively performed by computer software

using models validated over a number of applications. Consequence modeling is carried out

by PHAST (version 6.53) of DNV Software, UK.

PHAST uses the Unified Dispersion Model (UDM) capable of describing a wide range of

types of accidental releases. The Model uses a particularly flexible form, allowing for sharp-

edged profiles, which become more diffuse downwind.

PHAST contains data for a large number of chemicals and allows definition of mixtures of

any of these chemicals in the required proportion. The calculations by PHAST involve

following steps for each modeled failure case:

• Run discharge calculations based on physical conditions and leak size.

• Model first stage of release (for each weather category).

• Determine vapor release rate by flashing of liquid and pool evaporation rate.

• Dispersion modeling taking into account weather conditions.

• In case of flammable release, calculate size of effect zone for fire and explosion.

• The hazardous materials considered in this study are mostly flammable liquids. Flow

chart for consequence analysis is shown in the form of event tree for release of flammable

liquid.

7.6.9 HAZARDS OF MATERIALS

Definitions

The release of flammable gas or liquid can lead to different types of fire or explosion scenarios.

These depend on the material released, mechanism of release, temperature and pressure of the

material and the point of ignition. Types of flammable effects are as follows.

a. Pool fire

The released flammable material which is a liquid stored below its normal boiling point, will collect

in a pool. The geometry of the pool will be dictated by the surroundings. If the liquid is stored

under pressure above its normal boiling point, then a fraction of the liquid will flash into vapor

and the remaining portion will form a pool in the vicinity of the release point. Once sustained

combustion is achieved, liquid fires quickly reach steady state burning. The heat release rate is

Draft EIA REPORT



a function of the liquid surface area exposed to air. An unconfined spill will tend to have thin fuel

depth (typically less than 5 mm) which will result in slower burning rates. A confined spill is

limited by the boundaries (e.g. dyked area) and the depth of the resulting pool is greater than

that for an unconfined spill.

b. Flash fire:

It occurs when a vapor cloud of flammable material burns. The cloud is typically ignited on the

edge and burns towards the release point. The duration of flash fire is very short (seconds), but

it may continue as jet fire if the release continues. The overpressures generated by the

combustion are not considered significant in terms of damage potential to persons, equipment

or structures. The major hazard from flash fire is direct flame impingement. Typically, the burn

zone is defined as the area the vapor cloud covers out to half of the LFL. This definition provides

a conservative estimate, allowing for fluctuations in modeling. Even where the concentration

may be above the UFL, turbulent induced combustion mixes the material with air and results in

flash fire.

c. Jet Fire:

Jet flames are characterized as high-pressure release of gas from limited openings (e.g. due to

small leak in a vessel or broken drain valve). Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE)

or fireball: A fireball is an intense spherical fire resulting from a sudden release of pressurized

liquid or gas that is immediately ignited. The best known cause of a fireball is a boiling liquid

expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE). Fireball duration is typically 5 – 20 seconds.

d. Vapor cloud explosion

When a large quantity of flammable vapor or gas is released, mixes with air to produce sufficient

mass in the flammable range and is ignited, the result is a vapor cloud explosion (VCE). Without

sufficient air mixing, a diffusion-controlled fireball may result without significant overpressures

developing. The speed of flame propagation must accelerate as the vapor cloud burns. Without

this acceleration, only a flash fire will result.

7.6.9.1 HAZARDS ASSOCIATED WITH TOXIC MATERIALS

It is necessary to specify suitable concentration of the toxic substance under study to form the

end-point for consequence calculations. The considerations for specifying the end-points for the

hazardous material involved in the failure scenario are described in the following paragraphs.

American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) has issued Emergency Response Planning

Guidelines (ERPG) for many chemicals.

• ERPG-1 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all

individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing other than mild

transient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odour.


individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing

irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms, which could impair an individual's

ability to take protective action.

Draft EIA REPORT




individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing life-

threatening health effects.

Toxic limit values as Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) concentrations are

issued by US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). An IDLH

level represents the maximum airborne concentration of a substance to which a healthy

male worker can be exposed as long as 30 minutes and still be able to escape without

loss of life or irreversible organ system damage. IDLH values also take into consideration

acute toxic reactions such as severe eye irritation, which could prevent escape. IDLH

values are used in selection of breathing apparatus.

TLV: Threshold Limit Value – is the permitted level of exposure for a given period on a

weighted average basis (usually 8 hrs for 5 days in a week).

STEL: A Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is defined by ACGIH as the concentration to

which workers can be exposed continuously for a short period of time without suffering

from:

➢ Irritation

➢ chronic or irreversible tissue damage

➢ Narcosis of sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of accidental injury, impair

self-rescue or materially reduce work efficiency.

It is permitted Short Time Exposure Limit usually for a 15-minute exposure.

IDLH: IDLH is an acronym for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health. This refers to a

concentration, formally specified by a regulatory value, and defined as the maximum exposure

concentration of a given chemical in the workplace from which one could escape within 30

minutes without any escape-impairing symptoms or any irreversible health effects. This value is

normally referred to in respirator selection.

LCLo: Lethal Concentration Low (LCLo) value is the lowest concentration of a material in air

reported to have caused the death of animals or humans. The exposure may be acute or chronic.

This is also called the lowest concentration causing death, lowest detected lethal concentration,

and lethal concentration low.

LDLo: LDLo is closely related to the LC50 value which is the concentration which kills half of the

test animals under controlled conditions. This value applies to vapors, dusts, mists and gases.

Solids and liquids use the closely related LDLo value for routes other than inhalation

TCLo: Toxic Concentration Low quantity at which a water-soluble, liquid, or gaseous substance

produces harmful effects in specified test specie over a certain exposure period.

7.6.9.2 Damage Criteria

Damage estimates due to thermal radiations and overpressure have been arrived at by taking in

to consideration the published literature on the subject. The consequences can then be

visualized by the superimposing the damage effects zones on the proposed plan site and

identifying the elements within the project site as well as in the neighboring environment, which

might be adversely affected, should one or more hazards materialize in real life.

7.6.9.3 Thermal Damage

7.7 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

7.7.1 Introduction

The consequence analysis is carried out to determine the extent of spread (dispersion) by

accidental release which may lead to jet fire, pool fire, tank fire resulting into generating heat

radiation, overpressures, explosions etc.

In order to form an opinion on potentially serious hazardous situations and their consequences,

consequence analysis of potential failure scenarios is conducted. It is qualitative analysis of

hazards due to various failure scenarios. In consequence analysis, each failure case is

considered in isolation and damage effects predicted, without taking into the account of the

secondary events or failures it may cause, leading to a major disastrous situation. The results of

consequence analysis are useful in developing disaster management plan and in developing a

sense of awareness among operating and maintenance personnel. It also gives the operating

personnel and population living in its vicinity, an understanding of the hazard they are posed to.

7.7.2 Event Outcomes

Upon release of flammable / toxic gas & liquids, the hazards could lead to various events which

are governed by the type of release, release phase, ignition etc. PHAST has an in-built event

tree for determining the outcomes which are based on two types of releases namely continuous

and instantaneous. Leaks are considered to be continuous releases whereas, ruptures are

considered to be instantaneous releases. These types of releases are further classified into those

which have a potential for rain-out and those which do not. Whether the release would leak to a

rain-out or not depends upon droplet modeling which is the main cause of formation of pools. Fig

6.1, 6.2, 6.3 and 6.4 presents the event trees utilized by PHAST to generate the event outcomes.

7.7.3 Modes of Failure

There are various potential causes and sources of leakage. This may be by way of failures of

equipment or piping, due to pump seal failure, instrument tubing giving way, failure of the pipes,

mechanical impact is

confined mainly to small

bore piping.

Strict control over site

construction will of

course be necessary.

Any incident of impact

on pipe work during

construction must be

reported and damage

investigated.

7.7.4 Selected Failure Cases

Earlier, it was the practice to select a particular item in a unit as failure scenario, e.g. rupture of

reactor outlet pipe. Such selection is normally subjective on following parameters:

• Properties of material namely Toxic or Flammable.

• The likely severity of consequence in the event of accidental release based on inventory,

operated pressure & operated temperature.

• The probability of failure of various equipments such as valves, flanges, pipe, pressure

vessels etc. used in the plant.

Size of Release: For accidental releases identified for consequence analysis is 50mm leakage.

The scenarios are considered to be confined to those equipment failures which involve the

leakage of flammable or toxic products, of which the frequency of occurrence and the severity of

the consequences have been taken into consideration and which may have a low probability of

early detection.

Draft EIA REPORT



Taking this factor into consideration, a list of selected failure cases was prepared based on

process knowledge, inventory, engineering judgment, and experience, past incidents associated

with such facilities and considering the general mechanisms for loss of containment. Cases have

been identified for the consequence analysis.

Consequence analysis and calculations are effectively performed by computer software using

models validated over a number of applications. Consequence modeling is carried out by PHAST

(version 6.53) of DNV Software, UK.

PHAST uses the Unified Dispersion Model (UDM) capable of describing a wide range of types

of accidental releases. The Model uses a particularly flexible form, allowing for sharp-edged

profiles, which become more diffuse downwind.

PHAST contains data for a large number of chemicals and allows definition of mixtures of any of

these chemicals in the required proportion. The calculations by PHAST involve following steps

for each modeled failure case:

• Effect of Release

When hazardous material is released to atmosphere due to any reason, a vapor cloud is formed.

Direct cloud formation occurs when a gaseous or flashing liquid escapes to the atmosphere.

Release of hydrocarbons and toxic compounds to atmosphere may usually lead to the following:

(a) Dispersion of hydrocarbon vapor with wind till it reaches its lower flammability limit (LFL) or

finds a source of ignition before reaching LFL, which will result in a flash fire or explosion.

(b) Spillage of liquid hydrocarbons will result in a pool of liquid, which will evaporate taking heat

from the surface, forming a flammable atmosphere above it. Ignition of this pool will result in pool

fire causing thermal radiation hazards.

(c) Lighter hydrocarbon vapor (e.g. Natural Gas) or Hydrogen disperses rapidly in the downwind

direction, being lighter than air. But comparatively heavier hydrocarbon vapor cloud like that of

LPG, Propylene or Ammonia will travel downwind along the ground. If it encounters an ignition

source before it is dispersed below the LFL, explosion of an unconfined vapor cloud will generate

blast waves of different intensities.

(d) A fireball or BLEVE (Boiling Liquid expanding Vapor Explosion) occurs when a vessel

containing a highly volatile liquid (e.g. LPG, Propylene etc) fails and the released large mass of

vapor cloud gets ignited immediately. It has damage potential due to high intensity of radiation

and generation of the overpressure waves, causing large-scale damage to nearby equipment

and structures.

(e) Catastrophic failure of tanks/ pressurized vessels, rotary equipment and valves etc. can result

in equipment fragments flying and hitting other equipment of the plant.

(f) Release of toxic compounds results in the toxic vapour cloud traveling over long distances,

affecting a large area, before it gets sufficiently diluted to harmless concentration in the

atmosphere.

(g) The material is in two phases inside the containment - liquid & vapor. Depending on the

location of the leak liquid or vapor will be released from the containment. If vapor is released a

vapor cloud will form by the mixing of the vapor and air. The size of the vapor cloud will depend

Draft EIA REPORT



on the rate of release, wind speed; wind direction & atmospheric stability will determine the

dispersion and movement of the vapor cloud.

(h) If liquid is released there will be some flashing as the boiling point of liquid is below the

ambient temperature. The vapor formed by immediate flashing will behave as vapors release.

The liquid will fall on the ground forming a pool. There will be vaporization from the pool due to

the heat gained from the atmosphere & ground. There will be dispersion and movement of vapor

cloud formed by evaporation of liquid.

The behavior of material released by loss of containment depends on the following factors:

(1) Physical properties of the material.

(2) Conditions of material in containment (pressure and temperature).

(3) Phase of material released (liquid or gas).

(4) Inventory of material released.

(5) Weather parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric stability).

(6) Material with boiling point below ambient condition.

Statistical reports of consequence analysis are summarized below in Table 7. Similarly pictorial

presentations of consequence results are shown below the tabular report.

7.9 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.9.1 Introduction to Disaster Management Plan

The proponent M/s Shree Vallabh Chemical (Unit-II) is a proposed project located at Survey No.:

703/P/1, Village: Kanera, Taluka: Kheda, District: Kheda is going for manufacturing of Synthetic

Organic Chemicals.

A Disaster Management Plan is prepared to meet any grave emergency which can occur due to

Natural Disasters such as Floods, Earthquakes, or due to Man-Made Disasters such as Acts of

war and Fires, Power failures, etc.

An Action Plan has been drawn to fix responsibility and actions to be taken by various groups to

meet and contain the disaster within shortest possible time and with minimum loss to men,

material and property. It is the responsibility of all the individuals in their respective areas to

ensure the success of this plan. This plan shall be circulated for benefit / training of all individuals

residing in the premises.

7.9.2 Objective

The objective of the plan is to handle emergency situation that may arise due tospillage and fire

while handling plant & equipment and any adverse effect on employees and public at large is

minimized and normalcy is restored within shortest possible time.

The Disaster Management Plan is aimed to ensure safety of life, protection of environment,

protection of installations, restoration of production and salvage operations in this same order of

priorities. For effective implementation of the Disaster Management Plan, it will be widely

circulated and personnel training given through rehearsals/drills.

Disaster management plan/Emergency Response Plan (action plan) has been drawn to fix

responsibility & actions to be taken by various groups to meet & contain the emergency within

shortest possible time & with minimum loss to men, materials, machines & property. It is

responsibility of all individuals in their respective areas to ensure success of this plan. This plan

will be circulated for benefit / training of all individuals working.

Draft EIA REPORT



The major functions & objectives to formulate the plan are:

i) To mobilize the available / trained manpower and handle the emergency from:

• On-site (within factory)

• Off-site (through outside agencies).

• To ascertain urgently the likely area of influence and take actions for warnings, control

of disaster with minimum damage to men, material, machines and evacuation of

employees / public, identify the persons affected / dead, arrange first aid / medical help

to the victims.

• Inform relatives of the casualties; provide authoritative information to News Media &

others; preserve relevant records & equipments needed as evidence in any subsequent

inquiry.

• Approach District Administration / Civil authorities etc. in order to ensure prompt relief

for execution of Emergency Response Plan.

• This document sets out the Disaster management plan/emergency plans for all levels of

accident ranging from a local incident within the site boundary to a situation that requires

outside support.

The objectives of the Disaster management plan /emergency plan are:

• To protect lives of working personnel and nearby population.

• To contain the hazards and to control their spread.

• To minimize the impact on the environment.

• To minimize the loss to plant and production.

7.9.3 Definition and scope

A major emergency is defined as one, which may affect one or several sections of the plant and

possibly extend beyond the factory boundaries. It may cause serious injuries, loss of life or

extensive damage to property.

The Disaster Management Plan has been prepared in order to provide proper guidance to plant

operating personnel to confidently handle any accidental spillage or fire / explosion or any natural

calamity or sabotage. With this objective, comprehensive information has been assembled in the

materials used,about its hazardous properties, fire hazards, safety appliances, safety measures

incorporated in the plant, emergency procedures and finally regarding the constitution &

responsibility of Emergency Rescue Team (Emergency Response & Management Team / Task

Force).

7.9.4 Methodology

A major emergency occurring at a plant is one that may cause serious injuries, loss of life,

extensive damage to property or environment or serious disruption inside or outside the plants.

This may demand the rescue and relief measures on a war footing to handle it effectively and

quickly. Within the high-risk technology industries, the need for well-planned measures should

be self-evident.

No matter how well a process is controlled and safeguarded by instruments and process safety

procedures, it is inevitable that there is a residual risk, which is capable of causing a variety of

emergencies.

Draft EIA REPORT



The Factories Act, 1948 as amended in the year 1987 under section 41B requires that every

occupier shall draw up a Disaster Management Plan and detailed disaster control measures for

his plant and make them know to the employees and to the general public living in the vicinity of

the plant.

Its objective is to reduce the severity of loss following particular hazardous incidents. At the same

time, must be clearly understood that it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards for

working consistently with the requirements of safety and health inside the plants.

7.9.5 Level of disasters

The Guidelines (NDMA Guidelines) categorize the levels of disasters into L0, L1, L2, & L3 based

on the ability of various authorities to deal with them. In short, in order to facilitate the responses

and assistances to States and Districts, the levels of disasters have been defined as follows.

L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring, documentation,

prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and

inventory updation for responseactivities will be carried out during this time.

1.L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the State

and Centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed.

2.L2 level disaster situations are those which require assistance and participation of State,

mobilization of its resources for management of resources.

3.L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and District

authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central Government

for reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue, relief, other response

and recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity of the disaster as determined

by the concerned technical agencies like Indian meteorological department (IMD)/ Indian

National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) are sufficient for the declaration

of L3 disaster.

7.9.6 Information on risk evaluation preliminary hazard analysis

The Disaster Management Plan describes the Organization & procedures for dealing with

potential accidents arising from the operations of M/s. Shree Vallabh Chemical (Unit-II).

Experience of accidents that have occurred in various other similar plants was considered in the

preparation of this Plan especially material while handling synthetic organic chemical unit

identical to this plant. This plan will need periodic review & modification following emergency

exercise, or include any new information relating to changes to the facilities.

This Plan is needed to respond to a variety of emergencies / disasters:

i) Disasters due to emergency on account of:

a. Fire or explosion

b. Spillage

a. Fire or explosion: The organization is handling Synthetic organic chemical industryunit,

the fire, mainly due to fire in process equipments and electrical equipments such as

transformers, DG sets etc.

b. Spillage: Accidental spillage/leakage of material while handling of chemicals causing

engulfment of workers.

Draft EIA REPORT



ii) Disaster due to natural calamities such as:

a. Flood

b. Earth quake

c. Storm / cyclone

d. Heat Waves

a. Flood

The southwest monsoon brings a humid climate from mid-June to mid-September. The average

annual rainfall is around 674 mm (26.5 in).The nearest water body from the facility isBhadarRiver

which is 3.4Kms away from the site.The heavy rainfall and water released from the Bhadar River

may increase water level in the river bed creating flood situation.

b. Earth quake

This zone is classified as Moderate Damage Risk zone which is liable to MSK VII and also 7.8.

The IS code assigns zone factor of 0.16 for Zone 3.

A. Storm / cyclone

Cyclones make impact by killing people, damaging property, crops and infrastructure. The

area falls under category in which wind speed is 48-50m/sec. So the chances are there for

storm & cyclone.

B. Heat Waves

During summer time, the temperature ranges between 24 °C and 42 °C,leading to severe

heat wave conditions. This results in loss of life of many people particularly, homeless,

gardeners, daily wagers who work out under direct sun, auto drivers, etc.

iii) Disaster due to external factors such as:

a. Sabotage, Civil Riots or War, Terrorism, air raid, etc.

Sabotage, Civil Riots or War, Terrorism: No solution can be offered to eliminate either terrorist

threats or planted bombs, but one can be well or badly prepared to cope with them when such

incidents happen. It is essential for organizations to design and implement both good physical

security and a comprehensive bomb threat response plan.

The condition which create emergency.

• Flood - The probability of the flood is moderate and intensity is low to moderate

• Earthquake - This zone is classified as Moderate Damage Risk zone which is liable to

MSK VII and also 7.8. The IS code assigns zone factor of 0.16 for Zone 3.

• Cyclone causes stampede in crowd.

• Storms causes stampede in crowd.

• Bombarding during terrorist attack or war.

• Political Violence- Kheda is politically an active city ever since the struggle for

independence. The political culture of Kheda has been rapidly undergoing change and political

violence cannot be ruled out.

Draft EIA REPORT



RECOMMENDATIONS

Flood:

• Introduce better flood warning systems

• Modify homes and businesses to help them withstand floods nearby river side.

• Construct buildings above flood levels

• Protect wetlands and introduce plant trees strategically

• Put up more flood barriers.

Earthquake:

• Find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground.

• Don’t Rush Indoors

• Stay Put remain there until the earth stops shaking

• Remain Calm until the earth stops shaking

Bridge Collapse:

• Immediately call ambulance

• Immediately call Police, NDRF & Municipal Commissionaire.

• Stop movement across bridge.

• Survey site and remove people from covered collapse material.

Cyclone/Storm:

• Immediately call ambulance & NDRF team.

• Provide shelter for the victims and provide first aid on site.

• Survey site and remove people from covered collapse material.

Terrorist Attack/ Political Violence:

• Don’t be panic and threatened.

• Call the police, ambulance & District Collector.

The above are the summarized results of an analysis of hazard, risk and disaster impact in

Kheda. For more study of risk criteria please refer, Gujarat State Disaster Management Plan.

The action plan responding to an emergency situation depends very much on the level of the

emergency which, itself is defined by the consequences arising from the types of hazard

identified.

7.9.7 Disaster preparedness

This section highlights the Organization for disaster preparedness. No plan will succeed without

effective Disaster Management. Disaster Management Plan is a part and parcel of a good ON-

SITE and OFF-SITE emergency plan, without which all resources, facilities etc., event available

with us, cannot be put into services at a right time is the key factor in tackling an emergency.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 Introduction

To formulate and monitor Environmental Protection measures during and after commissioning

of project, preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required. The development

of sound EnvironmentManagement Plan is important to mitigate any adverse impacts of

theproposed project. The plan should indicate the details as to how variousmeasures have been

or are being proposed to be taken including costcomponents as may be required. Cost of

measures for environmental safeguards should be treated as an integral component of the

project cost andenvironmental aspects should be taken in to account at various stages of

theproject.

• Conceptualization: Preliminary Environmental Assessment.

• Planning: Detailed studies of Environmental Impacts and design of safe

• Guards

• Execution: Implementation of Environmental safety measures

• Operation: Monitoring of effectiveness of built in safe guards

The maximum amount of pollution load that can be discharged in theenvironment without

affecting the designated use and is governed bydilution, dispersion and removal due to natural

physico-chemical andbiological processes is the Assimilative capacity of the study area. The

mainobjective of Environmental Management Plan is to warrant that the industrialdevelopment

in an identified particular study area needs to be entangled withjudicious utilization of non-

renewable resources and to ensure that thestress/load on the ecosystem is within its permissible

assimilative capacity i.e. its carrying capacity.

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in the

area of the proposed plant. Hence, it needs tobe an all encompass plan for which the proposed

industry, Government, Regulating agencies like Pollution Control Board working in the region

and more importantly the affected population of the study area need to extend their co-operation

and contribution. The identification and quantification of impacts based on scientific and

mathematical modelling.

The Environmental Management Action Plan aims at controlling pollution atthe source level to

the possible extent with the best available technologyfollowed by treatment measures before

they are discharged. The recyclingand re-use of industrial waste not only reduces the waste

generated but canbe an economic gain to the industry.

10.2 Objective of Environmental Management Plan

The objective of the Environmental Management Plan is summarized as under:

• To limit/reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of adverseimpacts.

• To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and hazardous waste with

adoption of adequate and efficient technology.

Draft EIA REPORT



• To comply with all the norms and standards stipulated by Gujarat Pollution Control

Board/Central Pollution Control Board.

• To create good working conditions.

Draft EIA REPORT



• Unit has already developed the greenbelt area, which will beupgraded after proposed within industrialpremises and around the periphery (if possible) to preventthe noise pollution in surrounding area.

10.5 Greenbelt Development Plan

The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant and the surrounding

areas. The green belt helps to halt soil erosion, make the eco-system more sustainable, make

the climate more conductive and restore water balance. The green belt helps to capture the

fugitive emissions and to attenuate the noise generated in the plant apart from improving the

aesthetics of the plant site.

Unit has already developed the greenbelt area, which will be upgraded after proposed within

industrial premises and around the periphery.

Out of total plant area 5,240.74 m2, Unit has developed greenbelt in 1,225.74 m2 areas.

Considering the environmental status of project area four main parameters like salinity, draught,

fire resistance, species with faster growth rate and ever green nature have been considered

while selecting the species.

Facts considered during selection of plant species for greenbelt development are:

• Agro climatic zone (dry sub humid – as per CPCB) of the project area

• Evergreen species to mitigate cumulative impacts due to other industries also.

• Type of pollutant (mainly air) likely to disperse from project activities.

• Biological–filter Efficiency: Absorption of gases, Dust capturing and noise control.

Unit has already developed greenbelt area having approx. 260 nos. of treesand which will be

upgraded after proposed and for this activitydemands expert advice and guidance. Details of the

selected plant species forgreenbelt area upgradation are given in the Table 10.1

10.6 Rain Water Harvesting Scheme

Rainwater Harvesting is generally recharging rainwater in to the underground formation, where

it will be stored in underground reservoirs (Aquifer) so that we can draw it whenever we need it.

Rain water harvesting means arresting rainwater during monsoon and storingit in natural

reservoirs (aquifers) and artificial/ manmade reservoirs (tanks).The rain is available everywhere

in India and the end user can store this waterat marginal cost. The harvested rainwater can be

used for flushing, washing, gardening, irrigation, fire fighting and even consumption with

necessary treatment. Rainwater is the purest form of water available to us. Experts opine that

the major source of water, rain must be saved to solve the problem of water scarcity.

Need for Rainwater Harvesting

• To reduce ground water pollution.

• To augment the ground water storage and decline of water level.

• To improve the quality of ground water.

• To reduce the soil erosion.

• To avoid flooding on roads.

Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting

• Provides self sufficiency at least reduces load on water supply.

• Reduces the cost of pumping of ground water as it raises ground watertable.

• Improves quality of ground water through dilution when recharge toground water.

• Reduces soil erosion in alluvium area.

• Rainwater harvesting systems are simple which can be adopted byindividuals.

Available Technology:-

• Storage in artificial above or underground tanks.

• Recharging aquifer directly through tube wells with necessary treatment.

• Recharging aquifer by percolation / Soakage in the ground.

Method of Rainwater Harvesting:-

In arid and semiarid areas rain water forms the only source of domestic watersupply. This is an

ideal solution to water problem where there is no ground water (Saline ground water) and surface

sources are very far. This is ideallysuited from the economical point of view. Rain water is

bacteriologically pure,free from, organic water and soft in nature. To meet drinking water

Draft EIA REPORT



demandduring the critical dry period of 90-120 days roof top water harvesting is veryuseful.

Ground water recharge or storage from house of 100 m2 of roof topwill be 1252.5 liters in one

year, sufficient for a period of four months for afamily of five members.

In roof top rain water harvesting the rain water is collected from roof of the buildings and stored

in water tank or ground water reservoir for beneficial use in future. The size of the catchment

area and tank should be enough to supply sufficient water for the users during this period.

Volume

Volume of tank can be calculated by the following formula.

V= (t x n x a) tat where

V= Volume of tank (litters)

T= Length of the dry season (days)

N= Number of people using the tank

A= Consumption per capita per days (litters)

ET= Evaporation loss during the dry period

Since evaporation from a closed storage tank is negligible the evaporation loss (et) can be

ignored (=Zero)

Need for Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting (R T R W H)

• To meet ever increasing demand for water in urban areas.

• To reduce the runoff which is chocking the storm drains.

• To avoid the flooding of roads.

• To augment the ground water storage and control decline of water levels.

• To reduce the ground water pollution.

• To improve the quality of ground water.

• To reduce the soil erosion.

• Rain water may be harnessed at place of need and may be utilizedat time of need

The structures required for harvesting the rain water are simple, economical and eco-friendly.

Essential Components of the system

• Roof Catchment.

• Gutters for collection of roof water.

• Down pipe to convey rain water from gutter to storage tank “Foul Flush” to divert the

contaminated run-off from roof (for initial wash out before taking to storage tank.

• Filter/Mesh.

• Storage tank under ground.

• Water withdrawal arrangement (Hand Pump).

• Dis-infection arrangement.

Design Consideration

• In the design system, the main criterion is the most economical combination of the storage

tank volume, systematic analysis of rainfall records and construction costs.

Selection of Site

• Site should be close to the house to reduce the cost of down pipe.

• Site should have good drainage and should be away from the cattle.

• shed and soak pits etc. for cleanliness and hygiene surrounding the tank.

Draft EIA REPORT



• Site should be away from tress to prevent litters falling on the roof and structural disturbance

to the tank by roof propagation.

• Site should be easily accessible for tapping water.

Tips for Maintenance of the R H S

• Always keep the surroundings of the tank clean and hygienic.

• Remove Algae from the roof tiles and asbestos sheets before the monsoon.

• Drain the tank completely and clean from inside thoroughly before the monsoon.

• Clean the water channels (Gutters) often during rainy season and definitely before the first

monsoon rain.

• Avoid first 15 or 20 minutes of rain fall depending on the intensity of rain. Use the first flush

arrangement to drain off this first rain water.

• Change the filter media every rainy season.

• In coastal area the tank may be painted outside by corrosion resistant paint once in 3 years

and in other areas lime (Calcium Carbonate) based white wash may be applied not only for

beauty but also for cleanliness.

• Withdraw water from the system at the rate of 5 lits/head/day.

• This will ensure availability of water throughout the water scarcity period.

• Cover all inlet and outlet pipes with closely knife nylon net or fine cloth or cap during non-rainy

season to avoid entry of insects, worms and mosquitoes.

• The substances that go into the making of the roof should be nontoxic in nature.

Runoff Calculation & Provision of Rainwater Tanks:

The dependable rainfall of the project area is 590 mm. Calculation of rain water to be harvested

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

11.1 Introduction

Generally any project or action includes various impacts, which vary in magnitude astheir

beneficial or adverse classification. At the same time it is very important to conclude that the

“overall” or “collective” impact of the proposed project is beneficial or detrimental.

In case of the proposed project, impacts are evaluated with respect to various activities during

operational phase.

11.2 Air Environment

The general meteorological data collected during the study period confirms that climatic status

of the study area is consistent with the regional meteorology. Baseline AAQ data indicates that

98th percentile concentration of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO & VOCs in the study area are well

within the permissible limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards.

Based on the ground level concentration evaluated by Dispersion Modelling, it is found that due

to the operation of proposed project incremental values of various parameters are well within the

permission limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards. Hence, it

may be concluded that there would not be any adverse impacts on surrounding air environment

within the study area due to the proposed project.

11.3 Water Environment

Baseline data reveal that as per drinking water quality standards IS 10500 overall quality of both

surface & ground water is suitable for domestic activity including agricultural activity. Ground

water quality in the area meets the Water QualityStandards (IS 10500) for drinking water except

for parameters like Chloride, Calcium, Magnesium and coliforms whereas surface water quality

in the area meets the Water Quality Standards (IS 10500) for drinking water except for

parameters like TDS, Turbidity, Chloride, Total Hardness, Magnesium and coliforms.

The total water requirement for proposed will be obtained through borewell to fulfil such

requirements. However, industryproposed to install rainwater harvesting system to collect the

rain water and use in the domestic purpose.

Domestic wastewater will be disposed-off to Soak pit. Industrial wastewater will be treated in

ETP. Treated effluent will be ultimately evaporated off in an evaporator. Thus, it can be concluded

that there would not be any significant adverse impact on the water environment due to the

proposed project.

Draft EIA REPORT



11.4 Noise Environment

Noise level in the project premises will be controlled at the source itself by appropriate use of

noise suppressing systems. Noise level in the surrounding study area is well within the

permissible limits as prescribed in the National Noise Quality Standards. Except 1 location noise

level is higher due to highway. Thus, noise generated due to the project activity shall create

negligible impact in surrounding environments. This shall further be attenuated by a barrier of

plantation at the periphery of the plant.

11.5 Land/Soil Environment

The soil pollution is generally due to wastewater and solid waste. There will be no industrial

wastewater discharge as treated effluent will be ultimately evaporated off in an evaporator. Solid

waste generation will be very less during operation phase of the proposed project. Hazardous

waste will be properly collected, stored & ultimately disposed off to secured landfill/TSDF site.

All the solid/hazardous wastes generated from the unit after proposed will be properly collected,

stored & ultimately disposed off as per the applicable Act/Rules prescribed by statutory authority.

Therefore, there would be no adverse impact on the land environment due to the proposed

project.

11.6 Socio-Economic Environment

The proposed project will generate employment during operation phase. The indirect

employment will also be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual

employment for many people during operation phase as well as construction phase. Local people

will be given preference for the jobs in the proposed project. Economic status of the local people

will improve due to the increased business opportunities, thereby making a positive impact.

Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study area will considerably improve. Thus, the

proposed project will have significant positive impact on the employment pattern of the study

area.

11.7 Conclusion

Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air pollution control

measures will be provided.

• No ecological damage will occur.

• No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.

• Local employment opportunities will increase.

• Various other environment parameters like Forest/ National Park/ Sanctuaryand Religious /

Historical Places will not be affected.

• Environment Management Plan has been formulated to control all the pollutantparameters

and Environment Management Cell has been set-up to ensure thatthese parameters do not

exceed the norms set out by the concerned authorities.

• After commissioning of the proposed project the Environmental ManagementCell will take

care of all the pollution control measures.

• It can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigationmeasures

and environmental management plan during the construction & operationalphase, there will

be negligible impact on the environment.

Not Applicable

Note: Gases concentration are expressed in parts per million per volume (ppmV). NOTE 1: Category 5 is for mixtures which are of relatively low acute toxicity but which under certain circumstances may pose a hazard to vulnerable populations. These mixtures are anticipated to have an oral or dermal LD50 value in the range of 2000-5000 mg/kg bodyweight or equivalent dose for other routes of exposure. In light of animal welfare considerations, testing in animals in Category 5 ranges is discouraged and should only be considered when there is a strong likelihood that results of such testing would have a direct relevance for protecting human health. NOTE 2: These values are designed to be used in the calculation of the ATE for classification of a mixture based on its ingredients and do not represent test results. The values are conservatively set at the lower end of the range of Categories 1 and 2, and at a point approximately 1/10th from the lower end of the range for Categories 3 – 5.

Data Reference: http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgibin/sis/search.

2.2 Information pertaining to particular dangers for human:

Toxic substance with carcinogenic and mutagenic effects. Acute intoxication leads

to central nervous system attenuation and narcotic effects occur. After

swallowing possibility of aspiration (passage into the lung) and danger of

chemical pneumonia (pulmonary oedema). Product irritates eyes and skin. High

vapour concentrations irritate respiratory system and eyes and may lead to fast

coma and death. Liquid is absorbed through skin and may develop allergic

eruption. Chronic effects cause bone marrow damage, haemopoiesis disorder

and may develop leukaemia.

2.3 Information pertaining to particular dangers for the environment: Possible adverse effects on aquatic organisms.

2.4 Other adverse effects: Extremely flammable and easily ignitable substance. Danger of ignition at normal temperature. Readily evaporates and vapours form with air toxic and explosive mixtures heavier than air. Mixtures keep above ground and after ignition they spread fast into far distances. Ignition possible when exposed to hot surfaces, sparks, naked flames and by electrostatic discharges too. The substance is practically insoluble in water, floats on the water level and forms toxic and explosive mixtures above the water level. Risk of explosion if emptied into drains or released into wastewater. Attacks rubber and plastics. Target Organs: Brain and Spleen. Route of entry:

Section 4 – FIRST AID MEASURES

4.1 General advice IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ATTENTION IS REQUIRED AFTER INHALATION OR AFTER SWALLOWING. In case of health troubles or doubts, seek medical advice immediately and show this Material Safety Data Sheet. Ensure activity of vitally important functions until the arrival of the doctor (artificial respiration, inhalation of oxygen, heart massage). If patient is unconscious, or in case of danger of blackout, transport patient in a stabilised position. In case of first degree burns (painful redness), and second degree burns (painful blisters), cool the affected area with cold running water for a long time. In case of third degree burns (redness, cracking pale skin, usually without pain), do not cool affected skin, dress the area with sterile dry gauze only. 4.2 Inhalation Remove patient to fresh air, keep him warm and in order to rest quietly. Avoid walking. Seek medical advice. SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS: irritation, headache, dizziness, weakness, stupefaction, irritant coughing, convulsions, unconsciousness, possible respiratory inhibition or arrest.

4.3 Skin contact Immediately take off all contaminated clothing and footwear. Flush effected area with copious quantities of water. Seek medical advice. SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS: mild irritation, degreasing, absorption, eruption and blistering. 4.4 Eye contact Immediately flush eyes with clean lukewarm water and continue flushing for at least 15 minutes – keep the eyelids widely apart and flush thoroughly with mild water stream from the inner to the outer canthus. Seek medical advice. SYMPTOMS AND EFFECTS: severe irritation, cornea damage. 4.5 Swallowing Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person, just put patient into a stabilized position.

5.2 Extinguishing media to be avoided Not applicable

5.3 Caution about specific danger in case of fire and fire-fighting

procedures Danger of violent reaction or explosion. Vapours may travel considerable far distances and cause subsequent ignition. Vapours are heavier than air, may cumulate along the ground and in enclosed spaces – danger of explosion. Do not empty into drains. When burning, it emits carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide and irritant fumes. Containers with the substance exposed to excessive heat may explode. May polymerize exothermically if heated or contaminated. If the polymerization takes place inside a container, the container may rupture violently. Vapors may burn inside a container. Under prolonged exposure to fire or heat the containers may rupture violently and rocket. 5.4 Special protective equipment for fire-fighters Wear full protective fire-resistant clothing and self-contained breathing apparatus. Vapors may react violently with caustic soda, hydrated lime (quicklime), magnesium chloride, ammonia, alcohols and amines. Most materials other than stainless steel or nickel will cause polymerization or decomposition. Decomposition may cause exothermic rearrangement.

Section 6 –ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES

6.1 Person-related safety precautions Isolate hazard area. Evacuate all unauthorized personnel not participating in rescue operations from the area. Avoid entry into danger area. Remove all possible sources of ignition. Stop traffic and switch off the motors of the engines. Do not smoke and do not handle with naked flame. Use explosion-proof lamps and non-sparking tools. Avoid contact with the substance. Apply recommended full protective personal equipment. When escaping from the contaminated area, wear mask with cartridge against organic vapours. In case of general average, evacuate personnel from danger area. In places under the ground level and in enclosed spaces (including drains) risk of explosion and accumulation of toxic vapours. 6.2 Precautions for protection of the environment Prevent from further leaks of substance. Do not allow substance to enter soil, water and sewage systems. In case of substance discharge to water courses or water containers, inform water consumers immediately, stop service and exploitation of water. 6.3 Recommended methods for cleaning and disposal Pump off substance safely, soak up residues with compatible porous material and forward for disposal in closed containers. Dispose off under valid legal waste regulations.

Section 7 –HANDLING AND STORAGE

7.1 Information for safe handling Observe all fire-fighting measures (no smoking, do not handle with naked flame and remove all possible sources of ignition). Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Wear recommended personal protective equipment and observe instructions to prevent possible contact of substance with skin and eyes and



Page 7 of 12

inhalation. Avoid leak to environment. Vapors are heavier than air. 7.2 Information for storage Storerooms should meet the requirements for the fire safety of constructions and electrical facilities and should be in conformity with valid regulations. Store in cool, well-ventilated place with effective exhaust, away from heat and all sources of ignition. Store in tightly closed container. Do not store together with oxidizing agents. Take precautionary measures against static discharges. Avoid leak to environment. May polymerize exothermically if heated or contaminated. If the polymerization takes place inside a container, the container may rupture violently. Vapors may burn inside a container. 7.3 Information for specific use Not applicable.

NA: Data not available DATA REFERENCE: http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search. Provide adequate ventilation when using the material and follow the principles of good occupational hygiene to control personal exposure. Recommended determination method in the work place atmosphere: gas chromatography, detector tube.

8.2 Occupational exposure controls

Collective protection measures: General and local ventilation, effective exhaust. Individual protection measures: Personal protective equipment (PPE) for the protection of eyes, hands and skin corresponding with the performed labour has to be kept at disposition for the employees. In cases, where the workplace exposure control limits cannot be observed with the help of technical equipment or where it is not possible to ensure that the respiratory system exposure does not represent a health hazard for the personnel, adequate respiratory protection have to be kept at disposition. In the case of continuous use of this equipment during constant work, safety breaks have to be scheduled, if the PPE-character requires this. All PPE have to be kept in disposable state and the damaged or contaminated equipment has to be replaced immediately. RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):

HANDS EYES BODY RESPIRATORY

Respiratory protection: If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, wear a supplied air, full-face piece respirator, airline hood, or full face piece self-contained breathing apparatus. protective mask with canister A (brown coloured, protecting against organic vapours), self-contained breathing




Page 8 of 12

apparatus.

Eye protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Hand protection: Wear gloves of impervious material. Body protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Protective coverall antistatic design recommended, impervious when handling big amounts (nitrile rubber), sealed leather footwear (free from synthetic adhesives) Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

8.3 Environmental exposure controls Proceed in accordance with valid air and water legislative regulations. Engineering measures: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Section 10 –CHEMICAL STABILITY AND REACTIVITY INFORMATION

10.1 Conditions to avoid

Concentrations within the explosion limits, sources of ignition, high temperature, sun radiation. 10.2 Material to avoid AIR AND WATER REACTIONS: Highly flammable. Flammable over a wide vapor-air concentration range. Must be diluted on the order of 24 to 1 with water to lose flammability. Soluble in water. Highly flammable, severe explosion hazard when exposed to flame. The autoignition temperature may be as low as 140° C in presence of rust. Rapid compression of the vapor with air causes explosion. Ethylene oxide vapor may be initiated into explosive decomposition in absence of air [Hess, L. G., et al., Ind. Eng. Chem., 1950, 42, p. 1251]. Metal fittings containing magnesium, copper or silver should be avoided, since traces of acetylene in ethylene oxide may produce metal acetylides capable of detonating the vapor [MCA SD-38, 1971]. Violent polymerization occurs on contact with strong bases (alkali hydroxides, ammonia) or acids, amines, metallic potassium, oxides (aluminum oxide, iron oxide, rust), covalent halides (aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, tin(IV) chloride) [Gupta, A. K., J. Soc. Chem. Ind., 1949, 68, p. 179]. Violent reaction with m-nitroaniline, magnesium perchlorate, mercaptans, thiols, triethylamine [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 316]. Ethylene oxide and SO2 can react violently in pyridine solution with pressurization if ethylene oxide is in excess (Nolan, 1983, Case History 51). REACTIVE GROUPS: Epoxides 10.3 Hazardous decomposition products: Pure EO decomposes explosively if detonated, ignited or heated to about 560 °C, even in absence of air. Polymerization: Very susceptible to polymerization initiated at ambient temperature by acids, bases or catalysts such as anhydrous Chlorides or Iron, Aluminium, Tin, and metal oxides. Iron rust must be removed from any equipment containing Ethylene oxide. The polymerization is exothermic. Thermal initiatation startsat around 100 Cand once started will be promoted by Iron. If the remperature is not controlled the polymerization will self accelerate causing vapourization of unreacted ethylene oxide and possibly explosive decomposition of the vapour. Slow polymerization can also occure , producing solid polymer, which is thermally stable.

Note: Gases concentration are expressed in parts per million per volume (ppmV). NOTE 1: Category 5 is for mixtures which are of relatively low acute toxicity but which under certain circumstances may pose a hazard to vulnerable populations. These mixtures are anticipated to have an oral or dermal LD50 value in the range of 2000-5000 mg/kg bodyweight or equivalent dose for other routes of exposure. In light of animal welfare considerations, testing in animals in Category 5 ranges is discouraged and should only be considered when there is a strong likelihood that results of such testing would have a direct relevance for protecting human health. NOTE 2: These values are designed to be used in the calculation of the ATE for classification of a mixture based on its ingredients and do not represent test results. The values are conservatively set at the lower end of the range of Categories 1 and 2, and at a point approximately 1/10th from the lower end of the range for Categories 3 – 5.

NA: Data not available DATA REFERENCE: http://toxnet.nlm.nih.gov/cgi-bin/sis/search. Provide adequate ventilation when using the material and follow the principles of good occupational hygiene to control personal exposure. Recommended determination method in the work place atmosphere: gas chromatography, detector tube.

8.2 Occupational exposure controls

Collective protection measures: General and local ventilation, effective exhaust. Individual protection measures: Personal protective equipment (PPE) for the protection of eyes, hands and skin corresponding with the performed labour has to be kept at disposition for the employees. In cases, where the workplace exposure control limits cannot be observed with the help of technical equipment or where it is not possible to ensure that the respiratory system exposure does not represent a health hazard for the personnel, adequate respiratory protection have to be kept at disposition. In the case of continuous use of this equipment during constant work, safety breaks have to be scheduled, if the PPE-character requires this. All PPE have to be kept in disposable state and the damaged or contaminated equipment has to be replaced immediately. RECOMMENDED PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT (PPE):

HANDS EYES BODY RESPIRATORY

Respiratory protection: If the exposure limit is exceeded and engineering controls are not feasible, wear a supplied air, full-face piece respirator, airline hood, or full face piece self-contained breathing apparatus. protective mask with canister A (brown coloured, protecting against organic vapours), self-contained breathing

apparatus.

Eye protection: Use chemical safety goggles and/or a full face shield where splashing is possible. Maintain eye wash fountain and quick-drench facilities in work area. Hand protection: Wear gloves of impervious material. Body protection: Wear impervious protective clothing, including boots, gloves, lab coat, apron or coveralls, as appropriate, to prevent skin contact. Protective coverall antistatic design recommended, impervious when handling big amounts (nitrile rubber), sealed leather footwear (free from synthetic adhesives) Hygiene Measures: Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling. Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing. Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

8.3 Environmental exposure controls Proceed in accordance with valid air and water legislative regulations. Engineering measures: Use only with adequate ventilation. If user operations generate dust, fumes, vapor or mist, use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas, vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Section 10 –CHEMICAL STABILITY AND REACTIVITY INFORMATION

10.1 Conditions to avoid

Concentrations within the explosion limits, sources of ignition, high temperature, sun radiation. 10.2 Material to avoid AIR AND WATER REACTIONS: Highly flammable. Flammable over a wide vapor-air concentration range. Must be diluted on the order of 24 to 1 with water to lose flammability. Soluble in water. Highly flammable, severe explosion hazard when exposed to flame. The autoignition temperature may be as low as 140° C in presence of rust. Rapid compression of the vapor with air causes explosion. Ethylene oxide vapor may be initiated into explosive decomposition in absence of air [Hess, L. G., et al., Ind. Eng. Chem., 1950, 42, p. 1251]. Metal fittings containing magnesium, copper or silver should be avoided, since traces of acetylene in ethylene oxide may produce metal acetylides capable of detonating the vapor [MCA SD-38, 1971]. Violent polymerization occurs on contact with strong bases (alkali hydroxides, ammonia) or acids, amines, metallic potassium, oxides (aluminum oxide, iron oxide, rust), covalent halides (aluminum chloride, ferric chloride, tin(IV) chloride) [Gupta, A. K., J. Soc. Chem. Ind., 1949, 68, p. 179]. Violent reaction with m-nitroaniline, magnesium perchlorate, mercaptans, thiols, triethylamine [Bretherick, 5th ed., 1995, p. 316]. Ethylene oxide and SO2 can react violently in pyridine solution with pressurization if ethylene oxide is in excess (Nolan, 1983, Case History 51). REACTIVE GROUPS: Epoxides 10.3 Hazardous decomposition products: Pure EO decomposes explosively if detonated, ignited or heated to about 560 °C, even in absence of air. Polymerization: Very susceptible to polymerization initiated at ambient temperature by acids, bases or catalysts such as anhydrous Chlorides or Iron, Aluminium, Tin, and metal oxides. Iron rust must be removed from any equipment containing Ethylene oxide. The polymerization is exothermic. Thermal initiatation startsat around 100 Cand once started will be promoted by Iron. If the remperature is not controlled the polymerization will self accelerate causing vapourization of unreacted ethylene oxide and possibly explosive decomposition of the vapour. Slow polymerization can also occure , producing solid polymer, which is thermally stable.

Section 11 –TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION
