existing boilers and 20805 TPA for proposed boiler or Rice Husk 17885 TPA for proposed boiler.
HSD –500 L/h for proposed incinerator and 20 L/h for existing D.G. Set and 200 L/h for proposed D.G.
Sets.
LDO- 200 L/h for existing Incinerator.
4. Process Description in brief, specifically indication the gaseous emission, liquid effluent and solid/hazardous waste
Process Description: HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited is not manufacturing any banned pesticide products and they assure that they will manufacture only the pesticide having valid consents & CIB registration after expansion. Total 20 Nos. of products will ne manufactured after expansion. Major products are Cypermethrin/ Alpha Cypermethrin/ Permethrin/ Deltamethrin (1200 TPA), Chlorpyrifos/ Acephate/ Profenofos (1000 TPA). Cypermethrin: Cypermethrin acid chloride (CMAC) is condensed with Meta Phenoxy Benzaldehyde (MPBAD) along with Sodium Cyanide in presence of solvent n-Hexane. After it is washed with water, Sodium Hypochlorite and organic mass containing solvent is taken for solvent distillation. Cypermethrine thus obtained is packed in drums. Acephate: DMPAT in chloroform as solvent is ‗Isomerised‘ by aid of Di methyl Sulphate (DMS) to give Methamidophos (MMP). This MMP is then further ‗Acetylated‘ by Acetic Anhydride to yield Acephate. This reaction generates Acetic Acid, which is neutralized by Ammonia solution to form the ammonium acetate. The neutralized mass is then further extracted repeatedly with chloroform. The aqueous layer generated contains ‗Ammonium Acetate recovered ammonium acetate.Chloroform is recovered by atmospheric and vacuum distillation. This recovered chloroform is recycled back in the process. The residual mass of the distillation is carried forward for Acephate recovery by crystallization. Ethyl Acetate is added to the residual mass and crystallized to get Acephate. The wet Acephate thus obtained from filtration is further dried in rotary vacuum dryer.
Flue Gas Emission from Proposed Plant:
PM <1200 mg/Nm3, SO2 <100 ppm and NOx <50 ppm from proposed boiler and proposed D.G. Sets
(operated in emergency) having total capacity 910 kVA.
HCL<50 mg/Nm3, CO <100mg/Nm
3, TOC <20mg/Nm
3 and PM <50mg/Nm
3 from proposed incinerator.
Process Gas Emission from Proposed Plant:
HCL <20mg/Nm3 and SO2 <40mg/Nm3 from Insecticide Plant and Intermediates Plant.
Liquid Sewage/Effluent: 35 KLD sewage will be generated and it will be treated in packaged STP 50 KLD. It is estimated that 124.73 KLD effluent will be treated in 150 KLD ETP followed by MEE and the condensate water from MEE will be recycled in processing whereas salt generated from MEE will be sent to TSDF site, hence proposed project is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) unit.

Solid and Hazardous Waste generated after expansion are as follows: 2588 TPA MEE Salt, 427.05 TPA ETP sludge, 23.44 TPA Ash from incinerator will be sent to TSDF-Udaipur for disposal, 1467.3 TPA Process waste/Residue will sent for incineration, 0.82 LPA used oil will be selled to registered re-processors, 9200 Nos./Annum Discarded containers will be sold to scrap operators, 570.24 TPA Fly ash will be sent to enduser, 0.70 TPA E-Waste to E-Waste collection agency , 250 TPA Spent sulphuric acid and 4225 TPA Spent HCL will be sold to party.
5. Measures for mitigating the impact on the environment and mode of discharge or disposal
35 KLD sewage will be generated and it will be treated in packaged STP 50 KLD.
124.73 KLD effluent will be treated in 125 KLD ETP followed by MEE and the condensate water from MEE will be recycled in processing whereas salt generated from MEE will be sent to TSDF land filing site.
Solid and hazardous wastes generated at the end of manufacturing process or waste treatment process will be stored on impervious floor having roof and boundary wall. Management of generated wastes will be done as per Hazardous and Other Waste (Management and Trans boundary Movement) Rules, 2016.
6. Capital Cost of the Project, Estimated time of completion
Capital cost for expansion is 23.22 Crores and it is estimated that approx. 18 months will be required for completion after receving EC.
7. Site selected for the project- Natural of land – Agricultural (Single/double crop), barren, Govt/Private land, status of is acquisition, nearby (in 2-3 km) water body, population, with in 10 km other industries, forest. Eco-sensitive zones, accessibility.
Expansion in Pesticides manufacturing plant at RIICO Notified Industrial Area, Khushkhera, Taluka – Tijara, District – Alwar, State – Rajasthan will be at the exisitng premise located in the notified industrial area which is already convereted into industrial land (non-agricultural). Hence, no alternative of site has been analysed.
Land is already in possession with HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Limited, Total 2075 Nos. of population is in Burera village at 2.12 km in E, No any Archaeological site, National park/ Wildlife sanctuary/ Marine sanctuary/ Reserve forest within 10 km radius of the study area except Protected forest (Banban main (A,B,C,D,E,F) around 5.5 km, Godhan Main (A) around 6 km, Khijarpur khori kala Main (A) around 5.5 km and Mayapur (B) around 5.5 km).
Unitherm Engineers Limited at 0.63 km in E, Shree Cement Ltd at 1.03 km in SW, Supreme Industries at 0.83 km in SE, Honda Motor India Pvt Ltd at 1.62 km in E, Honda Cars India Ltd. at 2.24 km in SSE are all the nearest industries.
8. Baseline environmental data – Air quality, Surface and Ground water quality, Soil characteristic, Flora and Fauna, Socio-Economic condition of the nearby population.
As per the baseline study results of study area gaseous parameters (PM2.5: 36.0 – 52.8 µg/m3, PM10:
72.1 – 91.7 µg/m3, SOx 9.0 – 15.2 µg/m
3, NOx 14.5- 22.8 µg/m
3, etc.) are below the standard norms.
It was observed that there is not availability of surface water so that surface water samples were not taken. Sahibi River flows in the study region but the water was also not available in this period.
Ground water results of tested parameters (TDS: 532 - 6476 mg/L, Total Hardness: 286 - 1860 mg/L, Total Alkalinity (216 - 756 mg/L) for all locations meet with the standard IS 10500 – 2012 except Pithanwas location.
As per soil analysis data (pH: 7.22-7.81, Total nitrogen: 0.034 – 0.060 %, Total Phosphorous: 4.2 – 15.3 mg/100gm, etc.) it is concluded soils are normal from salinity and sodicity view points. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in available potassium.
Study area is neither enriching with floral diversity nor with the faunal diversity. Natural vegetation of study area is in degraded condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No schedule I species have been recorded for flora and fauna.
9. Identification of hazardous in handling processing and storage of hazardous material and safety system provided to mitigate the risk.
After identifying hazards in handling processing and storage of hazardous material both Qualitative and Quantitative risk has been analyzed. Mitigation measures like periodical training on fire drill and using SCBA, conducting emergency response drill on yearly basis, training drivers for transportation of hazardous goods, providing fire extinguishers etc.
10. Likely impact of the project on Air, Water, Land, Flora-fauna nearby population.
Flue gas and process gas emission will be controlled by ventury scrubbers, electrostatic precipitators, and water scrubber followed by caustic scrubber, hence impact will be negligible on nearby population.
No impact on surface water as fresh water will be sourced from RIICO water supply, Sewage and effluent will be treated in STP and ETP and treated water will be reused back to maintain ZLD scheme.
Land cover of area is already changed into factory building as it is an expansion project. No major impact on Land use and land cover.
Positive impact on flora and fauna due to plantation in community area through CER plan.
11. Emergency preparedness plan in case of natural or in plant emergencies.

GENERAL Industrialization is a key factor in the development of nations worldwide. The Indian crop
protection industry is dominated by generic products with more than 80% of molecules being non-patented.
Exports currently constitute almost 50% of the industry turnover. Globally, India is the thirteenth largest
exporter of pesticides. India pesticides market is controlled by these major players, namely – Bayer Crop
Science, Syngenta India, Rallis India Ltd, BASF India, UPL Limited, Cheminova, Adama India, Crystal Crop
Protection, PI Industries and Dhanuka Agritech, etc. Currently, India is the fourth largest global producer of
pesticides with an estimated market size of around $4.9 billion in FY17 after United States, Japan and
China. The current article delineates on the stages of agricultural inputs, the key segments of the pesticide
industry, crop wise yields in India vis-à-vis different countries and plight of the pesticide industry due to
minimum level of farmer awareness in India leading to low consumption. The Indian pesticide industry is
predominated with generic version products and has a substantial opportunity to explore the drugs going
off-patent during CY2017-2020 and through acquisitions and strategic partnerships of global giants with
domestic players. The principle of Sustainable Development attempts to maintain a balance between
development and the environment. India being a growing economy has seen rampant industrialization and
development in recent past, which resulted in adverse impact on the environment. EIA studies are very
important for any developmental activity to be taken into consideration to avoid adverse impacts and to
ensure long-term benefits has led to the concept of sustainability.
EIA study is an essential tool to help to the decision maker for approving the project about the impact on
local and remote Environment, societal benefits and losses if any, related to development in a particular
region. Pesticides and Pesticide Intermediates are raising their importance in nation and worldwide. The
need to avoid adverse impacts and to ensure long-term benefits has led to the concept of sustainability.
This has become accepted as an essential feature of development for increased well-being and greater
equity in fulfilling basic needs is to be met for future generations. Mankind, as it is developed today, cannot
live without taking up developmental activities for the food, security and other needs. Consequently, there is
a need to harmonize developmental activities with the environmental concerns. An Environmental Impact
Assessment (EIA) may be defined as:
EIA is an assessment of the possible impact—positive or negative—that a proposed or expansion project
may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic aspects. The
purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers to consider the environmental impacts along
with mitigation measures when deciding whether to proceed with a project or not. EIA has three main
functions:
To predict problems (Impact Assessment),
To find ways to avoid them (Mitigation Measures),
To enhance positive impacts (Environmental Management Plan).
It is required that every project proponent must take Environmental Clearance from Ministry of
Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), New Delhi/SEIAA before starting up any project as
per EIA legislation. The environmental clearance is also mandatory for the expansion, modernization; this is
applicable as per the MoEF&CC guidelines and EIA notifications 2006 and amended from time to time.

The Indian crop protection industry is estimated to be USD 4.25 billion in FY2014 and is expected to grow
at a CAGR of 12% to reach USD 7.50 billion by FY2019. Exports currently constitute almost 50% of Indian
crop protection industry and are expected to grow at a CAGR of 16% to reach USD 4.2 billion by FY2019,
resulting in 60% share in Indian crop protection industry. Domestic market on the other hand would grow at
8% CAGR, as it is predominantly monsoon dependent, to reach USD 3.3 billion by FY2019. The crop
protection chemicals can be broadly classified into five types:
Insecticides: Insecticides provide protection to the crops from the insects by either killing them or by
preventing their attack. They help in controlling the pest population below a desired threshold level.
Fungicides: Fungicides protect the crops from the attack of fungi and can be of two types – protectants
and eradicates. Protectants prevent or inhibit fungal growth and eradicates kill the pests on application.
Herbicides: Herbicides also called as weedicides are used to kill undesirable plants. They can be of two
types - selective and non-selective.
Bio-pesticides: Bio-pesticides are new age crop protection products manufactured from natural
substances like plants, animals, bacteria and certain minerals. They are ecofriendly, easy to use; require
lower dosage amounts for same performance as compared to chemical based pesticides.
Others-(Fumigants, Rodenticides, Plant growth regulators etc.): Fumigants and rodenticides are the
chemicals which protect the crops from pest attacks during crop storage. Plant growth regulators help in
controlling or modifying the plant growth process and are usually used in cotton, rice and fruits.

Cypermethrine is the largest synthetic pyrethroid insecticide in the world and is a global blockbuster product
which has a market in almost every country in the world. It is also a significant product in the Indian market.
The company already has a significant presence in the insecticide segment and the customers for
cypermethrin would be the same as the existing customers.
The global demand for Cypermethrin would be 14000 tons,
Deltamethrin would be 3500 tons,
Lambda Cyhalothrin would be 5000 tons,
Permethrin would be 5000 tons,
Alfamethrin market demand is 4000 tons per year.
The company would have a cost advantage as it would be manufacturing some of existing facility
utilization.
The market for Cypermethrin is growing at 6-8% annually, while it is estimated that the market for
Deltamethrin and Lambda Cyhalothrin are growing at 12-15% annually. Markets for Alfamethrin and
Permethrin are also growing at a healthy space of 8-9%. HPM is already engaged in the business of
manufacturing of Pesticides, Pesticide Intermediates, Pesticide Formulation Product, etc. The proposed
expansion project provides a potential growth opportunity for the already running business of the company.
The agro Chemical sector in the past ten years has seen a drastic boom in local as well as international
market. Keeping the globalization trend in mind, HPM Chemicals and fertilizers Ltd. has identified the
demand of pesticide intermediates, fungicide, and herbicide and insecticide products. There has been a
steady growth in the production of technical grade pesticides in India, which is evident from its demand
increasing from 5,000 MT in 1958 to 4,02,240 MT in 2018.

GENERAL The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field studies within the probable impact zone for
various components of the environment viz. Air, Noise, Water, Soil, Ecology & Bio diversity and Socio-
economy. The baseline environmental study has been conducted for the study region within 10 km radius.
An exhaustive attempt has been made in the current chapter to disclose all possible baseline status of
environmental quality in the study area, which further serves as the basis for identification, prediction and
evaluation of impacts. Villages covered within study region are shown in the Figure 3.1.
Figure 3.1 Study Area Map
3.1 BASELINE STUDY AREA AND PERIOD The baseline environmental study has been conducted for the study region within 10 km radius of the
project site for the period 1st Oct 2017 to 31st Dec 2017. An exhaustive attempt has been made in the
current chapter to disclose all possible base line status of environmental quality in the vicinity of the project,
which further serves as the basis for identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts. Study area map
covering all the villages are shown in the Figure 3.1.
3.2 METHODOLOGY The baseline environmental study was carried out for the various environmental components viz, Air,
Water, Soil, Ecology and Biodiversity, Socio Economy and Noise. A desktop study was carried out to select
the sampling locations and site visit was done by our field area experts. After the site visit, locations were
finalized. During the submission of field area expert report and discussion looking to the extent of impact, 5
km radius was considered as core zone and rest 5 km radius was considered as buffer zone. All the
locations have been selected within 10 km radius from the project site as per the requirement of TOR and
environmental samples were collected from the selected locations of the study area. Before starting the
survey activity for ecology and bio diversity, secondary data were used as reference during the desktop
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
survey for listing the species of study zone and planning the survey. In case of socio economy, secondary
data have also been used for deciding the parameters to be surveyed during socio economic data
collection. As a secondary source of data, for Ecology and Biodiversity survey various publications by the
government of India and literature available on internet site were used. Some photograph showing the
monitoring and survey activities are presented in Figure 3.2.

3.3 MICROMETEOROLOGY The study of micro meteorological data helps to understand the variations in the ambient air quality status
in that region. The prevailing micrometeorological condition at project site plays a crucial role in transport
and dispersion of air pollutants. The persistence of the predominant wind direction and wind speed at the
project site decide the direction and extent of the air pollution impact zone. The principal variables which
affect the micrometeorology are horizontal transport and dispersion, convective transport and vertical
mixing and topography of the area towards local influences. Micrometeorological data were collected by
using the wind monitor as per CPCB guideline which was installed near project site. All the
micrometeorological data were collected on hourly basis. Meteorological conditions of the study area are
presented in Table 3.3.

During the study period minimum temperature was recorded 8.2 oC in the month of December 2017 and maximum temperature was recorded as 38.1 oC in
the month of October 2017. Temperature data were collected on hourly basis during the study period. Variation of temperature is graphically presented in
Figure 3.3.
Figure 3.3 Graphical Presentation for the month wise Temperature Variation
3.3.2 Humidity
Humidity affects the nature and characteristics of pollutants in the atmosphere as it is the measure of amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Humidity helps
suspended particulate matter to coalesce and grow in size to settle under the gaseous pollutants by providing them aqueous medium. During the study period
minimum Humidity was recorded 7% in the month of October 2017 and maximum Humidity was recorded as 100% in the month of December 2017. The
variation in humidity is represented graphically in Figure 3.4.

Figure 3.4 Graphical Presentation for the month wise Humidity Variation
3.3.3 Wind Speed and Wind Direction
Hourly wind speed data were collected for the period 1st October 2017 to 31st December 2017 with the help of wind monitor. The rate of dispersion, diffusion
and transportation of pollutants in the atmosphere mainly depend on wind speed and its direction. Wind direction and velocity data have been collected
during the study period. Dominant wind direction in the study period was from N – S during the study period. Wind speed was observed from 0.1 to 17.0
km/hr in the month of October, from 0.1 to 12.0 km/hr in the month of November and from 0.1 to 10.8 km/hr in the Month of December 2017. Month-wise
maximum and minimum wind speed data are tabulated in Table 3.3.

Wind rose diagram is a graphical representation of the magnitude and direction of wind speed considering
all the directions. From the knowledge of wind rose one can easily predict the direction and extent of
spreading of the gaseous and particulate matter from the source. Wind rose diagram has been prepared
by using hourly wind speed and dominant wind direction data and is presented in Figure 3.5.
Figure 3.5 Wind Rose Diagram
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
Wind rose diagram indicate that dominant wind direction was N to S during the study period. Based on
micrometeorological data, of wind direction and wind speed it is interpreted that chances of maximum
dispersion of pollutants will be in S direction during the period October to December.
3.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT Air is the Earth‘s atmosphere having the gases in which living organisms live and breathe but air is being
deteriorated day by day due to the anthropogenic and natural sources. In present scenario Industrialization,
Energy production and the burning of fossil fuels has polluted the air environment. Ambient air quality
monitoring was carried out for the assessment of the existing status of background air quality in the study
area. This will be useful for assessing the conformity of the ambient air quality to the standards even after
commencement of the proposed project.
3.4.1 Selection of Sampling Locations
Following points were considered during the selection of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring locations.
Topography/terrain of the study area,
Regional synoptic scale climatologically norm‘s,
Densely populated areas within the region,
Location of surrounding Industries,
Representation of regional background,
Facility for Ambient Air Monitoring,
Representation of valid cross – sectional distribution in downwind direction,
Avoidance of proximity of roads, construction activity or any other perturbing activity which may be
temporary in nature, which may lead to some erroneous conclusions.
Availability of manpower, electricity, approach, sturdy structure and protection of samplers.
Dominant Wind Direction.
To establish the baseline status around the project site of the study region, monitoring was conducted for 8
numbers of locations during 1st October 2017 to 31st December 2017. At the time of location selection
previous micrometeorological data was referred and general wind pattern in the study region was
considered for the selection of minimum one location in the downwind direction and one location in upwind
direction. However, ambient air monitoring locations were selected in all the directions looking towards the
possibility of change in wind pattern during the study period. Ambient Air Quality monitoring locations are
presented in Figure 3.6 and Table 3.4.

Monitoring and analysis was also carried out for CO, HCl and Total VOC as isobutylene. Result for
the CO, HCl and Total VOC as isobutylene was found well within the norms.
3.4.6 Interpretation of Ambient Air Quality Data
Based on comparison study of results for tested parameters with NAAQS, it is interpreted that ambient air
quality of studied locations is satisfactory with respect to PM10 and PM2.5. All the results of gaseous
parameters are well within the limit. Considering the results of PM10 and PM2.5, it is suggested that proper
air pollution control measures must be adopted by the industry.
3.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT The objective of the baseline noise survey was to identify existing noise sources and to measure
background noise levels at the sensitive receptors within the study area. Peoples‘ perception of noise
varies depending on number of factors including their natural sensitivity and hearing ability, past experience
of sound, cultural factors and the time of day at which sound is experienced. Continuous sound is
perceived quite differently from intermittent sound at the same level. High or continuous noise levels may
cause permanent loss of hearing ranging from reduced perception at certain frequencies to total deafness.
At comparatively lower levels noise may have psychological effects including disturbance of sleep,
annoyance and irritation.
3.5.1 Sources of Noise Pollution
The sources of noise pollution in the study area are industrial noise, noise due to commercial activities,
noise generated by Community, Vehicular traffic etc.
3.5.2 Noise Level in the Study Area
Noise level monitoring was carried out with the help of sound level meter at 8 different locations fall under
residential, industrial and high noise generating source. Noise sampling locations are presented in Figure
3.7 and Table 3.10. Analysis results are presented in Table 3.11 and Table 3.12.

Noise standards have been designated for different types of land use i.e. residential, commercial, industrial
areas and silence zones, as per ‗The Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000, Notified by
Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi, February 14, 2000. Different standards have been
stipulated for day (6 AM to 10 PM) and night (10 PM to 6 AM). The noise level study shows that the noise
levels are meeting the acceptable norms.
3.5.3 Summary of Noise Data
Equivalent noise level varies from 62.3 to 66.6 dB (A) at Project Site and it is 51.8 to 52.8 dB (A) in
residential area during day time.
Equivalent noise level varies from 56.9 to 63.4 dB (A) at Project Site and it is 42.4 to 42.9 dB (A) in
residential area during night time.
Noise level monitoring was carried out 1 meter away from National Highway- 10 and equivalent
noise level was recorded 77.5 dB(A) during day time and 72.5 dB (A) during night time.
3.5.4 Interpretation of Noise Data
Based on noise level data obtained during the survey for residential area and industrial area, it is
interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking towards the
increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise reducing devices at
noise generating sources and generate public awareness.
3.6 LAND ENVIRONMENT
3.6.1 Land Use Pattern of the Study area

The area surrounding the project site is largely a crop land area covering around 49.54 % of the total study
area. Fallow land, Scrub land and Protected forest covers around 23.14%, 10.35% and 3.06 %
respectively. Water body occupies nearly 23.14% of the total study area. Settlement occupies nearly 6.48%
of the total study area. Total 7 Nos. of legend have been considered for land use map preparation by our
field area expert. It is existing project and all the construction activities will be done in the existing premises.
There will be no change in Land Use Pattern due to expansion of the project.
3.7 TRAFFIC STUDY Traffic study measurements were performed at State Highway No. 25 and National Highway No. 48.
Proposed project will attract to commercial vehicles as a result traffic load will also increase on highways.
Traffic load play a major role in polluting the air. To assess the traffic load, 4 no. of surveyors were
appointed to survey for State Highway No. 25 and National Highway No. 48.
Traffic data collected continuously for 24 hours by visual observation and counting of vehicles under three
categories, viz., heavy motor vehicles, light motor vehicles and two/three wheelers. As traffic densities on
the roads are high, two persons were deployed simultaneously at each station during each shift- one
person on each of the two directions for counting the traffic. At the end of each hour, fresh counting and
recording was undertaken. Total numbers of vehicles per hour under the three categories were determined.
Traffic study was conducted on State Highway No. 25 and National Highway No. 48 from 13th and 14th Dec
2017.

3.8 SOIL QUALITY 4 numbers of samples were collected from different locations within 10 km radius to assess the base line
status of soil. Analysis was also carried out for physico-chemical parameters as well as the parameters to
define the texture class. Soil samples were collected by using core cutter and brought to the laboratory in
polythene bags. Standard procedures have been followed for soil sampling and analysis. Soil sampling
locations are presented in Figure 3.11 and tabulated in Table 3.16. Results are presented in Table 3.17.
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
The soils are categorized as sandy to sandy based on different soil separates (sand, silt and clay). They
have moderate water holding capacity (27.6 to 35.7 %) and good permeability (44.3 to 49.2 %). The soil is
categorized as alluvial having > 1m depth. The pH of the soil samples narrowly ranged from 7.22 to 7.81
during the study period. The soil EC varied from 0.35 to 0.52 dS/m and ESP ranged from 5.2 to 6.0. These
parameters indicate that soils are neutral in reaction, non-saline (EC < 0.8 dS/m) and non-sodic, as pH is
<8.5 and ESP is < 15. Among exchangeable basic cations, predominance of calcium (4.8 - 12.8 meq/100 g
soil) was seen followed by Mg (3.1 – 9.7 meq/100 g soil), Na (0.5 – 1.5 meq/100 g soil) and K (0.3 - 0.9
meq/100 g soil). The loss on ignition (0.4 to 0.7 % OC) indicate that soils are low (< 0.5 % OC) to medium
(<0.75 % OC) in organic carbon status. This shows that soils are low to medium in total (0.034 – 0.060 %)
nitrogen status. Considering only 2% available phosphorus based on total P, soils are classified as poor
(>28 kg P2O5/ha) in available P. On the basis of exchangeable potassium values soils are categorized as
medium (140 – 280 kg K2O/ha) to high (>280 kg K2O/ha) in potassium status. The results relating to total
Fe, Zn, Cu, B and Cr do not show alarming concentrations in different soil samples.
3.8.2 Interpretation of Soil Data
Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal from salinity and sodicity view points. The
soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in available potassium. The levels of total
Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of
organic manure (50 tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N and P fertilizers should
be applied. The potassium is adequate; hence 20 % less than the recommended dose for green belt
should be applied. The soil at the project site should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and ESP as well
as OC (organic carbon), available P and K.
3.9 WATER ENVIRONMENT Physical, Chemical and Microbiological factors influencing water quality are so interrelated that a change in
any water quality parameter may trigger other changes in a complete network of interrelated variables.
Selected water quality parameters for surface and ground water resources along with biological indicators
within study region have been used for water environment and assessing the impact on it by proposed
project. A study on water environment aspects of ecosystem plays an important role in environmental
assessment to identify water related sensitive issues.
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
As a significant part of predefined framework of the present study water samples were collected from
selected locations. The Reconnaissance survey was undertaken and monitoring locations were finalized
based on:
Presence, Location and uses of major water bodies in the region,
Type and Location of Industrial/residential areas, their intake and effluent disposal locations,
Likely areas that can represent baseline conditions.
3.9.2 Water Quality
With the start of water quality study, the water resources in the study area were divided into two categories
for getting ideal upshot of baseline status of water quality of the region. These two categories as
determined are:
Ground water resources (tube well, open well, springs etc.)
Surface water resources including ponds, river, canals.
3.9.3 Sampling and Analysis
All the water samples were collected and analyzed as per ―Standard Methods for Examination of Water &
Wastewater‖, APHA 22nd edition, 2012. Water Samples for the analysis of physico-chemical parameters
were collected in plastic carboy and parameter wise preserved onsite as per the technique defined in the
book of APHA, 22nd edition, 2012. Temperature, pH and DO were analyzed onsite and samples were
brought to the laboratory for the analysis of remaining parameters.
3.9.4 Ground Water
To assess the quality of ground water, samples were collected from 6 numbers of locations for the analysis
of physico-chemical and microbiological parameters. Ground water sampling locations are presented in
Table 3.18 and Figure 3.12. Analysis results are presented in Table 3.19.

The test results were compared with the Drinking Water Specification: IS: 10500, 1992 (Reaffirmed 2012)
and it is summarized as under.
pH was observed in the range of 7.15 – 7.64 which meets the drinking water norms.
Turbidity was found in the range of 1.2 – 3.8 NTU.
Total Dissolved Solid (TDS) were recorded in the range of 532 - 6476 mg/L with minimum at Thara
village and maximum at Pithanwas village.
Conductivity varies from 830 to 9940 µmho/cm. The ratio of TDS to conductivity was observed in the
range of 0.6 to 0.65 which is within the desired range.
Total Hardness was in the range of 286 - 1860 mg/L with minimum at Thara village and maximum at
Pithanwas village.
Total Alkalinity was found in the range of 216 - 756 mg/L with minimum at Thara village and maximum
at Pithanwas village.
Chloride was found in the range of 138 to 3456 mg/L and Sulphate varies from 7.2 to 61.1 mg/L.
Iron was found in the range of 0.18-0.42 mg/L with minimum at Maheshra village and maximum at
Pithanwas village.
As microbiological parameters MPN analysis was also carried out and it was found Nil.
3.9.6 Interpretation of Ground Water Quality Data
Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that results for the
tested parameters meet with the permissible limit for drinking water as per IS 10500: 2012 except
Pithanwas village. All the water samples can be used in irrigation, washing and bathing. Water for
Pithanwas village should not be used in drinking purpose and water sample collected from other villages
can be used in drinking also in absence of alternate source. To save the ground water, contamination and
improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.
3.9.7 Surface Water
At the time of location selection, 6 numbers of locations were selected but during the sampling it was
observed that there is not availability of surface water so that surface water samples were not taken. Sahibi
River flows in the study region but the water was also not available in this period.
3.10 ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY Ecology is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other and
their natural environment. Producer, consumer and decomposer govern whole cycle of ecology. Plant and
animal both are interdependent to each other. Producer is necessary for each consumer. Plant plays their
role in ecology as producer. Plant, animals and microorganism together with the environment in which they
live make an independent unit called the Ecosystem.
Mainly two types of Vegetation cover are on the earth surface. One is self-growing and another is
cultivated. Plants are renewable resource and useful to living organism in many ways. It is therefore the
role of man in manipulating and changing vegetation population.
Due to lack of awareness deforestation is occurring which in turn is responsible for imbalance of
ecosystem.
The main objective of the ecological survey is aimed to find out baseline status of flora and fauna of the
study region. An ecological survey of the study area was conducted particularly with reference to listing of
species and assessment of the existing baseline ecological (terrestrial and marine ecosystem) conditions in
the study area.

The wildlife in study area is limited to a few common mammals, birds and reptiles. Animal species recorded
in a study area have wider distribution and known to coexist with human settlement. Study area is neither
enriching with floral diversity nor with the faunal diversity. Natural vegetation of study area is in degraded
condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No schedule I species have been recorded for flora
and fauna.
3.11 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Socioeconomics (also known as socio-economics or social economics) is the social science that
studies how economic activity affects social processes. In general it analyzes
how societies progress, stagnate, or regress because of their local or regional economy, or the global
economy.
In order to assess and evaluate the likely impacts arising out of any new or existing projects in socio-
economic environment, it is necessary to gauge the apprehension of the people in the surrounding areas.
Socio-economic survey serves as an effective tool for fulfilling this requirement.
The rapid industrialization of the study region has greatly influenced the socio economic and health
environment in the villages. Increasing industrialization and population density has increased pressure on
resources, civic amenities and public infrastructure. Economic conditions of the local people have improved
with the increasing industrialization and greater employment opportunities.
The socio-economic environment includes demography structure, population density, literacy level, and
employment levels. The data establish a baseline for the prediction of likely impacts of the proposed activity
on the socio-economic environment. Secondary information pertaining to the study area villages was
collected from Government Agencies, Census data for the year 2011, and statistical abstracts to compile
the socio-economic data.
3.11.1 Socio-Economic Survey Methodology
Socio-economic survey tools provide a means of improving understanding of local resource management
systems, resource use and the relative importance of resources for households and villages. They can also
be used to elicit insights on interaction with government decision-making systems, community perceptions
of trends and priority issues, and community-based institutions and their role in the sustainable use and
conservation of natural resources.
Data Collection: Following steps were considered for the collection of primary data:
1. Identification of Study Area: The study area was identified before carrying out the survey. All the
related information which could affect the prosperity, development & literacy were also collected.
2. Site Visit: Location wise survey plan & format for data collection were prepared for site visit. Data
regarding Land Characteristics, Population, Literacy, Workers and Amenities were collected during the
survey.
Analysis of Data: The data collected by primary survey were verified with secondary data collected from
sources like Government Agencies, Census data for the year 2011, and statistical abstracts.
3.11.2 Demography
Almost all villages in the study area are experiencing a rapid growth of population due to industrialization.
The total population of study region is summarized in Table 3.26.
3.11.3 Population Density
Population density in the study area varies from 7 - 2381 person/sq. km. Details of the same are tabulated
in Table 3.26.

3.12.3 Interpretation of Socio Economic Data
During the primary survey it was observed that almost pakka road facility is available in all villages within 10
km radius. Literacy rate of the study region is from 30.00% to 76.82%. On the basis of survey for literacy
rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote education among more and more people. Almost all
the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers. It indicates that the problem of unemployment
can be solved by providing proper training and education. There is also need to establish more industries
so that maximum number of employment can be generated.
3.13 SUMMARY S. No. Parameters Baseline Status
1. Ambient Air Quality
i. PM10 72.1– 91.7 µg/m3
ii. PM2.5 36.0 – 52.8 µg/m3
iii. SO2 9.0 – 15.2 µg/m3
iv. NOx 14.5- 22.8 µg/m3
Based on comparison study of results for tested parameters with NAAQS, it is interpreted that ambient air
quality of studied locations is satisfactory with respect to PM10 and PM2.5. All the results of gaseous
parameters are well within the limit. Considering the results of PM10 and PM2.5, it is suggested that proper
air pollution control measures must be adopted by the industry.
2. Noise Level Monitoring
i. Day Time (06:00 AM to 10:00 PM) 46.8 – 82.7 dB (A)
ii. Night Time (10:00 PM to 06:00 AM) 39.8 – 77.5 dB (A)
Based on noise level data obtained during the survey for residential area and industrial area, it is
interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking towards the
increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise reducing devices at
noise generating sources and generate public awareness.
3. Soil Quality and Characteristics
i. pH 7.22-7.81
ii. Organic Carbon (%) 0.4-0.7 %
iii. Total Nitrogen 0.034 – 0.060 %
iv. Total Phosphorous 4.2-15.3 mg/100g
v. Exchangeable Calcium 4.8-12.8 mg/100g
vi. Exchangeable Magnesium 3.1-9.7 mg/100g
Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal from salinity and sodicity view points. The
soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in available potassium. The levels of total
Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity
of organic manure (50 tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N and P fertilizers
should be applied. The potassium is adequate; hence 20 % less than the recommended dose for green
belt should be applied. The soil at the project site should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and ESP as
well as OC (organic carbon), available P and K.
4. Ground Water
i. pH 7.15 - 7.64
ii. TDS 592 – 6476 mg/L
iii. Total Hardness 286 – 1860 mg/L
iv. Total Alkalinity 216 – 756 mg/L
v. Chloride 186 – 3456 mg/L
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that results for the
tested parameters meet with the permissible limit for drinking water as per IS 10500: 2012 except
Pithanwas village. All the water samples can be used in irrigation, washing and bathing. Water for
Pithanwas village should not be used in drinking purpose and water sample collected from other villages
can be used in drinking also in absence of alternate source. To save the ground water, contamination and
improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.
5. Surface Water
At the time of location selection, 6 numbers of locations were selected but during the sampling it was
observed that there is not availability of surface water so that surface water samples were not taken. Sahibi
River flows in the study region but the water was also not available in this period.
6. Ecology and Biodiversity
The wildlife in study area is limited to a few common mammals, birds and reptiles. Animal species recorded
in a study area have wider distribution and known to coexist with human settlement. Study area is neither
enriching with floral diversity nor with the faunal diversity. Natural vegetation of study area is in degraded
condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No schedule I species have been recorded for flora
and fauna.
7. Socio Economic
During the primary survey it was observed that almost pakka road facility is available in all villages within
10 km radius. Literacy rate of the study region is from 30.00% to 76.82%. On the basis of survey for
literacy rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote education among more and more people.
Almost all the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers. It indicates that the problem of
unemployment can be solved by providing proper training and education. There is also need to establish
more industries so that maximum number of employment can be generated.

4.2.3 Air Quality Index
Air Quality Index (AQI) is one such tool for effective dissemination of air quality information to people. There
are six AQI categories, namely Good, Satisfactory, Moderately polluted, Poor, Very Poor, and Severe. The
proposed AQI will consider eight pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, NH3, and Pb) for which short-term (up
to 24-hourly averaging period) National Ambient Air Quality Standards are prescribed. Based on the
measured ambient concentrations, corresponding standards and likely health impact, a sub-index is
calculated for each of these pollutants. The worst sub-index reflects overall AQI. AQI to be calculated by
using the pollutant concentration data, the following table, and the following equation (linear interpolation):
Where,
Ip = the index for pollutant p
Cp = the rounded concentration of pollutant p
BPHi = the breakpoint that is greater than or equal to Cp
BPLo = the breakpoint that is less than or equal to Cp
BPHi = the breakpoint that is greater than or equal to Cp
IHi = the AQI value corresponding to BPHi
ILo = the AQI value corresponding to BPLo

parameter for pollution is PM10 & PM2.5. Maximum AQI and responsible parameter for pollution are
recorded in project area are PM10 with satisfactory impact.
4.2.4 Air Modeling Study
For the atmospheric dispersion modeling study, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA)
approved the Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3-version 3) and also it is recommended by the
Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC), New Delhi, which is applied to predict
ground level incremental concentrations (GLCs) of concerned critical pollutants. Prior to air quality
modeling exercise, meteorological condition during one season over project site is extensively studied and
were also compared with secondary data from the government sources. Concentrations are estimated for
the critical pollutants assessed over appropriate averaging times (i.e. 8 hours and 24 hours) based on the
applicability of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).
To assess the impact of air emissions from various continuous point sources, air dispersion Modeling study
has been conducted with the help of Industrial Source Complex Short Term Model (ISCST3) version 5.0
model of AermodCloudTM developed by Envitrans Infosolution Pvt. Ltd.

It is noted that the maximum impact zone is within three km radial zone from the stack of industrial Plant.
The modeling study proved that the air emissions from the expansion project would not affect the ambient
air quality of the region in any significant manner. This is because the expansion project will have highly
efficient air pollution control equipments to control air emissions. The ambient air quality around the
proposed project site will remain within the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) meant for
industrial area. NAAQS are indicative air quality criteria that are adequate to protect the human health and
vegetation.

Impact Due to Transport: The sources likely to be affecting the pollutant concentrations in project area
would be vehicular emission due to transportation in expansion of project. On account of various
associated activities, there will be increased vehicular traffic on connecting roads. Generation of gaseous
emissions is therefore, of primary concern. Mode of transportation of each incoming and outgoing
material is presented in below and for computation of traffic modelling studies frequency of vehicles has
been calculated.
Impact on Traffic Density: Enhanced Traffic on Road Adequacy: With present level of traffic and the
increase in existing traffic due to the project during operational phase has been estimated by comparison
with the recommendations stipulated by Indian Road Congress (IRC).

Part A
It is estimated that 24 Nos. of trucks will required for various industrial activities after expansion. Traffic load
on internal and external road is calculated as under:
Total trucks = 24 trucks/day
Frequency of trucks (Nos. of trucks x cycle x up and down) = 24 x 1 x 2 = 48 Nos./day
PCU / day (Nos. of truck x 3) = 48 x 3 = 144 PUC/day
PCU / Hour = 6.85 PCU /hr i.e 7 PCU/hr
Part B
Cars of the employees = 8 Nos.
Two wheelers of the employees = 25 Nos.
Frequency of cars (Nos. of cars x cycle x up and down) = 8 x 1 x 2 = 16 Nos./day
PCU / day (Nos. of car x 1) = 16 x 1 = 16 PUC/day
Frequency of two wheelers (Nos. of two wheelers x cycle x up and down) = 25 x 1 x 2 = 50 Nos./day
PCU / day (Nos. of two wheeler x 1) = 50 x 0.5 = 25 PUC/day
Total PCU/day= 25+16= 41

7.3 QUALITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT Many a times risk involved in various processes / process equipments cannot be addressed completely by
consequence analysis. As a conservative approach, these risks have been considered separately under
this topic. The approach is to identify hazards associated in operation of equipments as well as in
processes, assessing its impacts, ranking the risk posed by it and finally to propose remedial
actions/mitigation measures such that the risk is minimized to tolerable level. The Risk Matrix presented
below should be referred in evaluating this assessment.
In Qualitative Risk Assessment, risk has been analyzed using methodology called HIRA-Hazards
Identification & Risk Assessment. In HIRA, major manual activities carried out by plant personnel as well as
contract labors have been considered.
Qualitative Risk Assessment has been carried out for the following areas:
Storage and Handling of Solid chemicals like Sodium metabisulfite, Sodium Carbonate, Thiourea, Cuprous chloride etc.
Storage and Handling of Corrosive chemicals like Sulphuric acid, Hydrochloric acid, Thionyl
Chloride etc.
Storage and Handling of Toxic chemicals like Di methyl sulphate, Dimethyl Formamide, Toulene etc.

7.4 QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is a structured approach to identifying and understanding the hazards
and risks associated with Storage and Handling of flammable/ toxic chemicals. The assessment starts by
taking into account an inventory of hazardous chemicals stored, likelihood of leakage/ spillage associated
with it and selecting the worst case scenario for consequence estimation. Finally, suggesting the measures
to minimize or mitigate risks to meet appropriate acceptability criteria. The planning for emergency
evacuation shall be borne in mind whilst interpreting the results.
Consequence analysis
In a plant handling hazardous chemicals, the main hazard arises due to storage and handling of hazardous
chemicals as mentioned above. If these chemicals are released into the atmosphere, it may cause damage
due to resulting fires or vapor clouds. Blast overpressures depend upon the reactivity class of material
between two explosive limits.
Damage criteria
In consequence analysis studies, in principal three types of exposure to hazardous effects are
distinguished:
1. Heat radiation, from jet fire, pool fire, a flash fire or a BLEVE
Explosion
Toxic effects, from toxic materials or toxic combustion products.
The chosen damage criteria are given and explained as per the Guidelines for QRA – PHAST Software,
version 6.7 (DNV) & Purple Book for QRA released by Centre for Chemical Process Safety (CCPS).
Planning
Hazards that can lead to accidents in operations are discussed in this section. Important hazardous events
are classified in Table 7.5.
Table 7.5: Event Classification
Type of
Event Explanation
BLEVE Boiling Liquid Evaporating Vapor Explosion; may happen due to catastrophic failure of refrigerated or pressurized gases or liquids stored above their boiling points, followed by early ignition of the same, typically leading to a fire ball
Deflagration Is the same as detonation but with reaction occurring at less than sonic velocity and initiation of the reaction at lower energy levels
Detonation A propagating chemical reaction of a substance in which the reaction front advances in the unreacted substance at or greater than sonic velocity in the unreacted material
Explosion A release of large amount of energy that form a blast wave
Fire Fire
Fireball
The burning of a flammable gas cloud on being immediately ignited at the edge before forming a flammable/explosive mixture.
Flash Fire A flammable gas release gets ignited at the farthest edge resulting in flash-back fire
Jet Fire A jet fire occurs when flammable gas releases from the pipeline (or hole) and the released gas ignites immediately. Damage distance depends on the operating pressure and the diameter of the hole or opening flow rate.
Pool Fire Pool fire is a turbulent diffusion fire burning above a horizontal pool of vaporizing hydrocarbon fuel where the fuel has zero or low initial momentum
Spill Release ‗Loss of containment‘. Release of fluid or gas to the surroundings from unit‘s own equipment / tanks causing (potential) pollution and / or risk of explosion and / or fire
Structural Damage
Breakage or fatigue failures (mostly failures caused by weather but not necessarily) of structural support and direct structural failures
Vapor Cloud Explosion
Explosion resulting from vapor clouds formed from flashing liquids or non-flashing liquids and gases
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
Toxic, flammable and explosive substances released from sources of storage as a result of failures or
catastrophes, can cause losses in the surrounding area in the form of:
Toxic gas dispersion, resulting in toxic levels in ambient air,
Fires, fireballs, and flash back fires, resulting in a heat wave (radiation), or
Explosions (Vapor Cloud Explosions) resulting in blast waves (overpressure).
Consequences of Fire/Heat Wave
The effect of thermal radiation on people is mainly a function of intensity of radiation and exposure time.
The effect is expressed in term of the probability of death and different degree of burn. The consequence
effects studied to assess the impact of the events on the receptors are:
Table 7.6: Damage due to Radiation Intensity
Radiation
(kW/m2) Damage to Equipment Damage to People
1.2 Solar heat at noon -
1.6 - Minimum level of pain threshold
2.0 PVC insulated cable damage -
4.0 - Causes pain if duration is longer than 20 sec.
But blistering is unlikely.
6.4 - Pain threshold reached after 8 sec. Second
degree burns after 20 sec.
12.5 Minimum energy to ignite wood with a flame;
melts plastic tubing. 1% lethality in one minute. First degree burns
in 10 sec.
16.0 - Severe burns after 5 Sec.
25.0 Minimum energy to ignite wood at identifying long
exposure without a flame. 100% lethality in 1 min. Significant injury in
10 sec.
37.5 Severe damage to plant 100% lethality in 1 min. 50% lethality in 20 sec. 1% lethality in 10 sec.
Consequences of Overpressure
The effects of the shock wave vary depending on the characteristics of the material, the quantity involved
and the degree of confinement of the vapor cloud. The peak pressures in an explosion therefore vary
between a slight over-pressure and a few hundred kilopascals (kPa). Whereas dwelling are demolished
and windows and doors broken at overpressures as low as 0.03- 0.1 bar. Direct injury to people occurs at
greater pressures. The pressure of the shock wave decreases rapidly with the increase in distance from the
source of the explosion.

Limit of crater lip
Consequences of Toxic Release
The effect of exposure to toxic substance depends upon the duration of exposure and the concentration of
the toxic substance.
Short-term exposures to high concentration give Acute Effects while long term exposures to low
concentrations result in Chronic Effects.
Only acute effects are considered under hazard analysis. Since they are likely credible scenarios. These
effects are:
Irritation (respiratory system skin, eyes)
Narcosis (nervous system)
Asphyxiation (oxygen deficiency)
System damage (blood organs)
Following are some of the common terms used to express toxicity of materials.
Threshold Limit Value (TLV): it is the permitted level of exposure for a given period on a weighted
average basis (usually 8 hrs. for 5 days in a week)
Short Time Exposure Limit (STEL): It is the permitted short term exposure limit usually for a 15
minutes exposure.
Immediately Dangerous to life and health (IDLH): It represents the maximum concentration of a
chemical from which, in the event of respiratory failure, one could escape within 30 minutes without
a respirator and without experiencing any escape/impairing (eg. Severe irritation) or irreversible
health effects.
Lethal Concentration Low (LCLo): It is the lowest concentration of a material in air, other than LC50,
which has been reported to cause a death in human or animals.
Toxic Concentration Low (TCLo): It is the lowest concentration of a material in air, to which humans
or animals have been exposed for any given period of time that has produced a toxic effects in
humans or produced carcinogenic, neoplastigenic or teratogenic effect in humans or animals.
Emergency Response Planning Guidelines 1 (ERPG1): The maximum airborne concentration below
which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour (without a respirator)
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
without experiencing other than mild transient adverse health effects or without perceiving a clearly
defined objectionable odor.
Emergency Response Planning Guidelines 2 (ERPG2): The maximum airborne concentration below
which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing
or developing irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms that could impair their abilities
to take protective action.
Emergency Response Planning Guidelines 3 (ERPG3): The maximum airborne concentration below which
it is believed nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing life-
threatening health effects.
Meteorology
Atmospheric stability plays an important role in the dispersion of the chemicals. ―Stability means, its ability
to suppress existing turbulence or to resist vertical motion‖.
Atmospheric stability plays an important role in the dispersion of chemicals. ―Stability means, its ability to
suppress existing turbulence or to resist vertical motion‖.
Variations in thermal and mechanical turbulence and in wind speed are greatest in the atmospheric layer in
contact with the surface. The air temperature has influenced these turbulences greatly and air temperature
decreases with the height. The rate at which the temperature of air decreases with height is called
Environment 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 less than, equal to or greater than Dry Adiabatic
Lapse Rate (DALR), which is a constant value of 0.98 ºC per 100 meters.
Pasquill Stability Classes
Pasquill has defined Six (6) stability classes.
A - Extremely unstable.
B - Moderately unstable
C - Slightly unstable.
D - Neutral
E - Slightly stable.
F - Moderately stable.
Three prime factors that defines Stability
Solar radiation
Night-time sky over
Surface wind
When the atmosphere is unstable and wind speeds are moderate or high or gusty, rapid dispersion of
vapors will occur. Under these conditions, air concentrations 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 air concentration will be high.
Weather Conditions
Following Weather conditions are selected for consequence analysis

Ambient Temperature, Relative Humidity, Inventory, Ground Roughness, Model used etc. are very
important. In this report, the following assumptions have been considered.
Meteorological Paste other tables
Atmospheric Conditions: No Inversion
Ambient Temperature: 35°C has been considered as MCA approach.
Pasquil Stability Classes
Pasquil Stability category D, F & D is considered as conservative approach.
Other assumptions:
Inventory: Release of 100% of the inventory has been considered. For this, failure of the container has been considered from the bottom.
Storage conditions: Storage conditions have been considered as they are practically stored at site.
Input data for software (modeling)
For consequence analysis, input data considered are as below:
1. Volume inventory (Quantity of material) 2. Scenario
Leak
Catastrophic Rupture 3. Leak size
2, 5,10 mm hole in tank
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
As a first step towards risk assessment is to identify the possible release scenarios based on available
information about scenario development for Maximum Credible Accident Scenarios (MCAS).
Selection of Maximum Credible Loss Scenarios (MCLS’)
Following points are considered while selecting the release scenarios:
Flash point for flammable chemicals
IDLH of Toxic chemicals
Operating/ Storage Temperature and Pressure of the material
Total inventory of the material
Simulation of Release and Development of Contours
As the MCLS‘ were developed for the selected set of chemicals, the next step is to carry out the
consequence analysis. The consequence analysis results along with their contours are presented in the
following sections. Contours are presented on plant layout.

GENERAL Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is an analytical way to make an educated decision regarding
the commencement of an industrial activity or similar trade/commercial/infrastructure activity. This involves
a comparison of the costs of an action with considerations of the benefits associated with that action. CBA
assists the regulators to evaluate the benefits and challenges imposed by the upcoming activity in
commercial terms with respective to the impact on the environmental scenario such as human wellbeing,
quality of life and environmental wellbeing.
An important component of a CBA is a base situation which is a situation when no changes take place. All
decisions are then compared to the base situation. Once the base and a relevant time period are
established, benefits and costs can be calculated in terms of human and environmental well-being. In this
case, a benefit is defined as anything that increases human well-being, and a cost is anything that
decreases it. CBA aims to maximize economic efficiency at a point where marginal benefits and marginal
costs are equal.
9.1 APPLICABILITY OF CBA AND SUMMARY During the scoping/ToR stage, no recommendation of environmental cost benefit analysis was suggested
by the appraisal committee. Moreover, expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140
TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hiundustan Pulverising Mills at SP-9C, SP-
9B & H1-39(O), RIICO Notified Industrial Area (vide gazette notification no. 4/6/Udyog/1/90 dtd. 26th August
1994) Khushkhera, Taluka – Tijara, District – Alwar, State – Rajasthan. Hence, conducting a detailed CBA
is deemed not necessary for this particular project.

GENERAL An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a project and site specific plan develop to ensure that the
project is being implemented/ operated in an environmentally sustainable manner where all stakeholders
including the project proponent, contractors, sub-contractors, consultants understand the potential
environmental impacts arising from the project and take appropriate actions to properly manage the same.
Adequate environmental management measures needs to be incorporated during the planning phase to
minimize any adverse impacts and assure sustainable development of the area. This plan helps in
formulations, implementation of environment protection measures suggested and development and
monitoring programme for environmental parameters during the operation phase of the project. EMP
translates the various conditions of statutory approval like EC, and CC & A etc. in action. EMP document
states that what action will be taken and to be executed, what measures will be implemented and what
structures will be required to implement.
10.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Environmental management practices for mitigation of various impacts associated with the project activity
on different environmental components are described below:
10.1.1 Air Environment
Construction Phase: Fugitive dust as particulate matter (PM) is to be generated during consruction of

10.1.2 Water Environment
Construction Phase:
Disposal of generated 6.00 KLD sewage will be send to soak pit through septic tank. Regular cleaning of
septic tank will be ensured by Site supervisor to overflow.
Operation Phase:
Wastewater in form of sewage and effluent is/will be generated from project. As mentioned unit has facility
for wastewater treatment/disposal and the same will be modified/installed as per requirement of expansion
project. It is estimated that total 35 kLD of sewage will be generated which will be treated in 50 kLD STP
and 124.73 kLD of effluent will be generated after expansion which will be treated through 150 kLD ETP
followed by 125 + 25 kLD MEE. Stream-1 (100.73 kLD) will be treated in ETP followed MEE. Stream-2
(4.07 kLD) will be treated in 200 kgs/hr Incinerator. MEE condensate 73.14 will be recycled back in
processing. STP treated water will be recycled back for gardening and sprinkling. Scrubber 1 left out will be
reused back in processing. Hence it is a Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) Scheme.
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)
Total sewage generation after expansion will be 35 kLD which will be treated in proposed Sewage
Treatment Plant (STP) having capacity of 50 kLD. Treated sewage will be reused for gardening and
sprinkling purpose, while STP sludge (organic) will be used as manure within the premises.
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
Sewage treatment is based on activated sludge principle, where the organic matter present in sewage is
decomposed by biomass present in suspension inside the tank. The external oxygen source is provided to
satisfy the process requirement.
Treatment Scheme: The sewage generated from the source shall be first passed through oil and grease
chamber in order to remove free oil present in it. As the density of oil is less than that of water it will start
floating on the surface of water. The chamber arrangement is so provided that the floating oil is restricted to
get into the outlet zone of chamber. Oil floating on the surface of water will be collected by the controlled
openings provided in the chamber. Then the sewage will enter in to equalization tank which serves the
purpose of both flow equalization and characteristic equalization. Air is provided in the equalization tank for
better mixing and to avoid solids accumulation inside the equalization tank.
After equalization, sewage is transferred to the aeration tank. In aeration tank, aerobic bacteria present in
suspension shall decompose the organic matter present in sewage. The desired level of biomass required
will be maintained to achieve the best possible performance. The oxygen requirements of suspended
biomass will be satisfied by diffused aeration, which is cost effective method over conventional aeration
methods. The biomass generated inside the tank will be allowed to settle in the clarifier by gravity. The part
of settled biomass is recycled back to maintain MLSS level inside the aeration tank. Rest of the settled
sludge is transferred to the sludge drying bed for moisture removal and drying. The treated sewage from
clarifier will be collected in supernatant sump. NaOCl dosing shall be done in the sump for the purpose of
disinfection.
Further the collected treated sewage will be passed through pressure sand filter and activated carbon filter
for polishing. The quality of treated sewage achieved is well below the RPCB/CPCB discharge standards.
The treated sewage will be utilized for gardening and sprinkling within premises.

10.5 AMELIORATION OF ENVIRONMENT
10.5.1 Green Belt Development (Noise Barrier)
Greenbelt developmet is most effective pollution control measure for air and noise pollution as it acts as
barrier to particulate matter, gaseous pollutant and noise propagation. Greenbelt area proves to be an ideal
place for diversified flora and fauna and it will improve air quality adding to the aesthetic beauty of the
proposed plant.
HPMCFL had already developed 2582.87 m2 (8.47 %) and proposed 2086.32 m2 (6.84 %) as greenbelt at
project site. Also developed greenbelt 305.05 m2 (1.00 %) outside boundry and proposed 1764.19 m2

HPM chemicals and fertilizers Ltd has own R&D and constantly work on recycling reusing better recovery
elimination of solvent use, reduce the solvent quantity, recycling treated water back to process following are
few case work has done:
Solvents used are distilled and reused back in the process for eg. Imidachloprid Butachlor Acephate
and many products steps toward waste minimization.
The waste water is treated in effluent treatment and TDS is recovered in multiple effect evaporator
and condensed water is recycled in the process—almost all product.
The non contaminated condensed steam is collected separately and reused back to boiler feed
water which reduced fresh water consumption.
Good House Keeping: Proper house keeping practices makes the system easier and less costly.
Liquid wastes from various sections will be collected and treated in ETP.
Rain water harvesting system will be adopted to reduce the fresh water requirement.
Elimination of solvent – in pretlachlor process were using solvent now we have developed solvent
less process, quality has improved, colour improved and one solvent completely eliminated.
We have also developed to recover the product from aquous waste – containing dimer of
Imidachloprid 7- 8 % recovered by hydrolysis process -- improved the yield and aquous waste
cleaned due to removal of product.
10.6 ODOR CONTROL PLAN
10.6.1 Odor control for solid handling
All solid raw materials is been and will be charged directly to reactor through special air lock hopper
against slight negative pressure (in water column) so that no odour is emitted to the environment.
Solid charging nozzle in reactor will be projected inside so that it directly falls in to the solvent media,
thereby eliminating carrying over of solid to vapour nozzle.
Powder transfer system will also be used where ever applicable to have zero loss of powder into the
atmosphere.
10.6.2 Odor control for liquid handling
All liquid raw material handled in drum is been and will be cooled down during summer before charging
so as to minimize its vapour pressure and control of odour.
Liquid from drums is been and will be charged in day tank or to reactor with the help of FLP motorized
barrel pump. Alternatively vacuum lock is been and will be used in day tank for transfer of liquid from
drum (pumping under vacuum). Day tank vent is been and will be connected to fume gas scrubber.
Little or partial handling area is and will be equipped with suction hood which finally connect with fume
scrubber.

emergency respond time, mockdrill, safety at workplace etc. on regular basis. Expansion will be completed
within 18 months after obtaining EC.
11.3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT S. No. Parameters Baseline Status
1. Ambient Air Quality
i. PM10 72.1– 91.7 µg/m3
ii. PM2.5 36.0 – 52.8 µg/m3
iii. SO2 9.0 – 15.2 µg/m3
iv. NOx 14.5- 22.8 µg/m3
Based on comparison study of results for tested parameters with NAAQS, it is interpreted that ambient air
quality of studied locations is satisfactory with respect to PM10 and PM2.5. All the results of gaseous
parameters are well within the limit. Considering the results of PM10 and PM2.5, it is suggested that proper
air pollution control measures must be adopted by the industry.
2. Noise Level Monitoring
i. Day Time (06:00 AM to 10:00 PM) 46.8 – 82.7 dB (A)
ii. Night Time (10:00 PM to 06:00 AM) 39.8 – 77.5 dB (A)
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
Based on noise level data obtained during the survey for residential area and industrial area, it is
interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking towards the
increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise reducing devices at
noise generating sources and generate public awareness.
3. Soil Quality and Characteristics
i. pH 7.22-7.81
ii. Organic Carbon (%) 0.4-0.7 %
iii. Total Nitrogen 0.034 – 0.060 %
iv. Total Phosphorous 4.2-15.3 mg/100g
v. Exchangeable Calcium 4.8-12.8 mg/100g
vi. Exchangeable Magnesium 3.1-9.7 mg/100g
Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal from salinity and sodicity view points. The
soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in available potassium. The levels of total
Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity
of organic manure (50 tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N and P fertilizers
should be applied. The potassium is adequate; hence 20 % less than the recommended dose for green
belt should be applied. The soil at the project site should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and ESP as
well as OC (organic carbon), available P and K.
4. Ground Water
i. pH 7.15 - 7.64
ii. TDS 592 – 6476 mg/L
iii. Total Hardness 286 – 1860 mg/L
iv. Total Alkalinity 216 – 756 mg/L
v. Chloride 186 – 3456 mg/L
vi. Total Coliform Absent
Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that results for the
tested parameters meet with the permissible limit for drinking water as per IS 10500: 2012 except
Pithanwas village. All the water samples can be used in irrigation, washing and bathing. Water for
Pithanwas village should not be used in drinking purpose and water sample collected from other villages
can be used in drinking also in absence of alternate source. To save the ground water, contamination and
improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.
5. Surface Water
At the time of location selection, 6 numbers of locations were selected but during the sampling it was
observed that there is not availability of surface water so that surface water samples were not taken. Sahibi
River flows in the study region but the water was also not available in this period.
6. Ecology and Biodiversity
The wildlife in study area is limited to a few common mammals, birds and reptiles. Animal species recorded
in a study area have wider distribution and known to coexist with human settlement. Study area is neither
enriching with floral diversity nor with the faunal diversity. Natural vegetation of study area is in degraded
condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No schedule I species have been recorded for flora
and fauna.
7. Socio Economic
During the primary survey it was observed that almost pakka road facility is available in all villages within
10 km radius. Literacy rate of the study region is from 30.00% to 76.82%. On the basis of survey for
literacy rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote education among more and more people.
Almost all the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers. It indicates that the problem of
unemployment can be solved by providing proper training and education. There is also need to establish
more industries so that maximum number of employment can be generated.

11.4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES Possible impacts on land environment, air environment, water environment, noise environment, biological
environment, socioeconomic environment and risk and hazard is been introduced and briefed in the
chapter with their mitigation measures for both during construction as well as operation phase. Matrix
study and its representation has also been carried out and briefed in chapter. Total Cumulative Score for
various Environmental Parameters without mitigation measures is - 160 which is not appreciable adverse
impact during construction phase. Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters with
mitigation measures is +1 during construction phase which shows no appreciable beneficial impact. During
operation phase total cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters without mitigation measures
was (–501) while after taking mitigation measures as suggested by the various experts and studies; the
score was reduced and has increased positively upto +104. This shows no appreciable beneficial impact
on various environmental parameters due to expansion in pesticide manufacturing unit. Air modeling
study is been introduced in the chapter along with isopleths. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC value
for the proposed scenario is 0.41 g/m3 for SO2, 0.14 g/m3 for NOx, 0.21g/m3 for PM, 0.39 g/m3 for
HCL, 0.01 g/m3 for CO and 0.00 g/m3 for TOC. AQI of 8 locations is recorded satisfactory in study area.
From the overall study and evaluation of impacts, it can be concluded that the overall negative impacts
from various activities on different environmental parameters is negligible with proper EMP in place.
11.5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (TECHNOLOGY & SITE) No alternative site has been proposed as the expansion will be carried out in existing plant premises of
HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. Project site is situated in Notified industrial area of RIICO Khushkhera.
Alternative technology study has been conducted with respect to fuel, manufacturing technology etc. and
best alternative has been suggested.
11.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN Post project environmental monitoring is/will be done as per MoEFCC/CPCB/RPCB guidelines by following
recommended/standard method approved by MoEFCC/CPCB. Regular record review is been and will be
done for change in financial requirement, parameter for environmental monitoring. Project proponent will
maintain the pollution load under permissible limit after expansion and will take necessary precautions to
maintain the same. Allotted Rs. 15.00 Lakhs towards laboratory for expansion project estimated Rs. 3.00
Lakhs/annum for Environmental Monitoring.
11.7 ADDITIONAL STUDIES The expansion project falls in the notified induatrial area of RIIICO notified in the year 1994 vide gazette
notification no. 4/6/Udyog/1/90 dtd. 26th August 1994. As per Office Memorandum No. J-11011/321/2016-
IA.II(I) dtd 27th April 2018; the public consultation (PH) is not applicable to this project. Risk assessment
study has been conducted on hazardous chemiclas stored at project site. Qualitative risk assessment study
has been done for the solid, corrosive and toxic chemicals which are stored in drums and bags. Quantitave
risk assessment study has been done on flammable and toxic chemicals which are stored in storage tanks
at project site. Major hazardous chemicals stored at site are Hexane, Dimethylformamide, Toluene and
Acetone on which worst case scenario has been considered. Quantitative risk study had concluded that the
hexane is the most hazardous chemical as its overpressure effect distance is within 1 km distance which
can be controlled by specific mitigation measure at place. Disaster Management Plan has been prepared
by linking it to district disaster management plan.
11.8 PROJECT BENEFITS Expansion project will give major physical, social benefit and ecological due to development of
infrastructure, generation of employment and by plantation. Expansion project would help in increasing
EIA/EMP report for Expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140 TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hindustan Pulverising Mills
living standard of the nearly populations/ habitants through CER program. Will upsurge the turnover of the
company and dependency on foreign company for the pesticide products.
11.9 ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS During the scoping/ToR stage, no recommendation of environmental cost benefit analysis was suggested
by the appraisal committee. Moreover, expansion in Pesticide Manufacturing Unit from 900 TPA to 7140
TPA by HPM Chemicals and Fertilizers Ltd. formerly known as Hiundustan Pulverising Mills at SP-9C, SP-
9B & H1-39(O), RIICO Notified Industrial Area (vide gazette notification no. 4/6/Udyog/1/90 dtd. 26th August
1994) Khushkhera, Taluka – Tijara, District – Alwar, State – Rajasthan. Hence, conducting a detailed CBA
is deemed not necessary for this particular project.
11.10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN The main purpose of EMP is to minimize the identified potential environmental impacts to be generated
from the proposed project and to mitigate the consequences. Regular water sprinkling will be ensured by
Site supervisor to reduce PM concentration in the atmosphere. Regular maintenance of boiler, incinerator,
D.G.Set etc. will be ensured by the Site engineer and tagging system will be implemented. 35 kLD sewage
will be treated in 50 kLD STP, treated sewage will be reused for gardening and sprinkling, while STP
sludge will be used as manure within the premises. 124.73 kLD of wastewater will be treated through 150
kLD ETP followed by 125 + 25 KLD MEE, High COD effluent will be sent to proposed 200 kgs/hr
incinerator. Record keeping of all solid/ hazardous waste management statutory document will be ensured
by EHS Supervisir. Noise level within the plant premises is/will be measured regularly and will try to
maintain range within permissible limit. Various solvents like Hexane, DMF, Toluene, IPA, Methanol, MDC
etc. is/will be used at various stage of manufacturing process. Unit has well established solvent recovery
system which is up to 99 %. Project proponent had provided 30 Lakhs as a capital cost for Occupational
Health & Safety. HPMCFL has proposed 1% of project cost towards Corporate Environment Responsibility
(CER) i.e. Rs. 23.22 Lakhs based on the social need and environmental consequences. 60.44 m3 rain
water can be harvested in monsoon season. Proponent had proposed 1 Nos. of Rain water harvesting
tanks having capacity 50 KL each. Rs. 522 lakhs as a capital cost has been allotted as a capital cost for
EMS and Rs. 44.20 Lakhs/Month is allotted as a recurring cost for EMS. HPMCFL has Environmental and
safety Management Cell (EMC) to co-ordinate the project activities concerned with implementation of
environment control measures and management.
11.11 CONCLUSION Proposed project is located in RIICO Notified Industrial area (vide gazette notification no. 4/6/Udyog/1/90
dtd. 26th August 1994), Khushkhera and would not have any considerable impact on environment with
efficient mitigation measures implemented. The waste generation in form of gas (flue and process), effluent
and solid waste may have impacts on environmental parameters but the proponent has installed and
planned most efficient technologies for prevention of emission and treatment of effluent and sewage.
Further, the solid/hazardous waste will be disposed of through TSDF site. Hence there would not be any
considerable impacts on environment. With the implementation of the mitigation measures and EMP, the
expansion project activities will have positive beneficial effect on the local population, economic output and
other related facilities viz. employment, development of business, transportation etc. Risk assessment
including emergency response plan and DMP has been prepared to handle any sort of emergencies.
Hence looking to the overall project justification, process, pollution potential and pollution prevention
measures /technologies installed by proponent, environmental management activities of proponent; it has
been concluded that the project would not have any considerable impacts on environment as well as socio-
economic and ecological conditions of the project area after expansion. Hence expansion project is
considered environmentally safe.
