be located near the carriage way along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage
of road slope, the rainfall run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water
from various plots/shall be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins.
There are 23 nos. of Rain Water Recharging pits are being proposed for artificial rain
water recharge within the project premises.
Calculations for Storm Water load:
Rational formula for calculating run-off = CIA
Q= Runoff in m3
A= Area in sqm
C= Co-efficient of run-off based on Manual on norms and standards for environment
clearance of large construction projects, Ministry of Environment and Forests,
Government of India.
I = Intensity of rainfall in mm based on IMD Data
Yearly rainfall : 1493 mm/yr
Monsoon Months : June – September
Maximum hourly rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Calculations for storm water load for recharging
Total Run-off: Roof Top
Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Drainage area in sqm = 5832.0 m2
Coefficient of run-off = 0.80
Therefore, runoff = 0.80 x 0.085 x 5832.0 = 396.57 m3/hr
Total Run-off: Paved Surface
Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Drainage area in sqm = 7802.0 m2
Coefficient of run-off = 0.70
Therefore, runoff = 0.70 x 0.085 x 7802.0 = 464.22 m3/hr
Total Run-off: Unpaved Surface
11
Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Drainage area in sqm = 4100.0 m2
Coefficient of run-off = 0.15
Therefore, runoff = 0.15 x 0.085 x 4100.0 = 52.28 m3/hr
Total Runoff Load = (396.57 + 464.22 + 52.28) m3/hr
= 913.07 m3/hr
Typical Rain Water Recharge Pit Details:
Rain Water Recharging pits are being proposed for artificial rain water recharge within
the project premises. Total runoff load from the project site will be 913.07 m3/hr
Total Runoff available for percolation = 913.07 m3/hr.
Consider retention period of percolation pit in minutes (T) = 5
Total run-off load can be stored in given time = 182.6 m3
Rain Water recharge Pit Length x Breath = 2.0 m x 2.0 m, Height = 2.0 m.
Volume of each Recharge pit = 2.0 x 2.0 x 2.0 = 8.0 cum
Volume of each Recharge pit = 8.0 cum
So, No. of pits required = 182.6/8.0 = 22.8 say 23 nos.
Rain Water Recharge pits = 23 nos.
2.8 What would be the impact of the land use change occurring due to the

Recommended Plants by CPCB for developing green belt
All tolerant plants are not necessarily good for green belts e.g. Xerophytes with sunken
stomata can withstand pollution by avoidance but are poor absorbers of pollutants due
to low gaseous exchange capacity. Therefore selection of plants is very important in
green belt development for effective removal of suspended particulate matter and for
absorption of gases.

CHAPTER-IV WATER MANAGEMENT
4.0 WATER ENVIRONMENT
Water is the most important component for any society and is an important sustainable development indicator. In India, there is a growing demand on the existing water resources which mainly includes the river water sources, precipitation and ground water sources. The increase in usage and water demand is due to rapid increase in population, urbanization and industrialization. There is also huge quantity of Water required in the process of building construction and during the Operation phase.
However, domestic effluent generated from toilets of workers camp will be discharged to soak pit via septic tank. During the operational phase, the effluent will be treated in ETP & STP. Treated effluent will be used for HVAC, Landscaping, Washing & other miscellaneous uses. Efforts should be made to use minimal water resources because conserving water also indirectly saves energy. Hence to have the maximum savings, optimal and economical use of water through water conservation should be given priority in this project.
4.0.1 Water Requirement during Operation Stage (Existing)
The AMRI Hospital has 400 beds & they wants to expand it to 500 beds without addition of staff & doctors. The existing water use is 232 KLD which will be increased to 277 KLD by a quantity of 45 KLD for the extra nos. of beds.
4.0.2 Water Requirement during Operation Stage (Existing + Expansion)
Fresh Water consumption for the 500 Beds @ 450 lpcd = 225.0 m3/day, Fresh Water
Consumption for Domestic use is 52.0 m3/day, for HVAC Cooling System 100
m3/day, for Washing and Landscaping the required water will be 15.0 m3/day and
12.0 m3/day respectively.

It includes physical, chemical, and biological processes to remove physical, chemical and biological contaminants. Its objective is to produce an environmentally safe fluid waste stream (or treated effluent) and a solid waste (or treated sludge) suitable for disposal or reuse (usually as farm fertilizer). The objective of sewage treatment is to produce a disposable effluent without causing harm to the surrounding environment, and prevent pollution. The sewage treatment plant is based on Fluidized Aerobic Bioreactor Technology. The biological treatment system will consist of an FAB tank with Air Blower. The treatment scheme will consist of Screening, Equalization, Biological Treatment, Clarification, Sludge Recirculation, Filtration and Disinfection. The treated water will be low in BOD, COD, TSS, O&G etc.
Biomedical waste can be a hazard to the hospital staff and community. This has forced the introduction of Bio Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 1998 (1) in which the responsibility of the management of the bio-medical waste rests on the "generators" of the waste that is the hospitals. So far, solid infectious and hazardous waste has received greater attention than the liquid waste in the form of effluent. Our surveillance study (2) revealed that besides deviations in the physico-chemical parameters such as pH, suspended solids, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), hospital effluent has a high load (0.58 to 40%) of multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. Hence, the effluent discharged in municipal sewage can be a grave hazard to the community.
Categorization and classification of waste is important for the purpose of safe waste disposal. At hospital the waste generated has been broadly classified into the following categories.
Category 1 Pathological waste Human anatomical waste, consists of human tissues, organs, body parts, human fetus, blood and body fluids
Incineration / deep burial
Category 2 Animal waste Animal waste consists of animal tissues, organs, body parts, carcasses, bleeding parts, fluids, blood and experimental animals used in research, waste generated by veterinary hospitals and collages, discharge from hospitals, animals houses
Incineration / deep burial
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C4-6
Category 3 Microbiology and biotechnology waste
Consists of waste from laboratory cultures, stocks or specimen of live microorganisms or attenuated vaccines, human and animal cell cultures used in research and industrial laboratory, wastes from production of biological, toxins and devices used for transfer of cultures
Autoclaving/ microwaving/ Incineration.
Category 4 Sharps Waste material which could cause the person handling it, a cut or puncture of skin, wastes like needles, scalpels, blades, glass, etc this includes both used and unused sharps.
Chemical disinfectant/ autoclaving/ microwaving/ shredding
Category 5 Pharmaceuticals This includes pharmaceuticals products drugs, cytotoxic drugs and chemicals that have been returned from wards, have been spilled are, out dated or contaminated
Incineration / drugs disposal in secured landfills
Category 6 Infected waste Solid waste items contaminated with blood or body fluids including cotton, dressing, soiled plaster casts, linen, bedding and other material contaminated with blood.
Incineration/ autoclaving/ microwaving
Category 7 Infected plastic waste

Chemical disinfectant/ autoclaving/ microwaving/ shredding
Category 8 Liquid waste Waste generated from the laboratory and washing, cleaning, housekeeping and disinfecting activities.
Chemical disinfectant/ discharge into drains
Category 9 Incineration waste Ash from incineration from any biomedical waste
Dispose in municipal landfills.
Category 10 Chemical waste Chemical used in production of biological, chemical used in disinfecting, as insecticides etc
Chemical treatment and discharge into drains for liquids and secured landfills for solids.
Ref: Biomedical Waste Management Rules 1998

Category 8 is liquid waste, which is taken care by ETP & STP both. The process detail is described in detail below.
A whole lots of waste is being generated in a hospital which consists of general waste and hospital or bio-medical waste. Both types of waste are usually generated from the same source, that is from various units of the hospitals like wards, operation theatres, OPD’s / clinic etc. for e.g. the wards generate infectious and non-infectious waste and so does every other unit of the hospital. When they are generated, collected and disposed of together there is mixing of waste which contaminates the whole waste stream and then actually the whole waste becomes infectious. This causes a whole lot of problems at the site of disposal. If minimization and segregation is done the problem could be reduced to one fifth. Who generates waste in hospital facility.

Process Description
The treatment consists of Aerobic Treatment in FAB Tank with the help of Air blower, and then Clarifier and Tertiary Treatment in Multi grade filter and Activated carbon Filter with chlorination.
In this process the sewage will be treated in three stages
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C4-8
• Primary treatment
• Secondary treatment
• Tertiary treatment
Primary treatment:
In the primary treatment the raw sewage will pass through the bar screen chamber. In this section suspended matters, sand, grit and floating material etc will be removed from the sewage. Waste water from Operation Theatre, laboratories will be taken separately to ETP (a fabricated MS tank) where acid, alkali is added for pH adjustment and Sodium Hypochloride solution is added for pathogens. This treated water from ETP joints the equalization tank and treatment process continues. Then the sewage is sent to a collection tank cum equalization tank by gravity.
The sewage will be pumped from equalization tank to Tube settler and then to FAB Tank for Aerobic Treatment.
Secondary treatment:
In the secondary treatment the sewage in FAB tank is treated by aerobic process followed by clarifier. In FAB tank organic load will be degraded with the help of aeration by the bacterial population colonized on the poly propylene packing discs.
Mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) will be maintained in FAB tank in definite proportion by the FAB Media. Oxygen is injected in FAB tank by air from the air blower.
Then effluent will go to the clarifier tank for settling of sludge. The clear overflow from clarifier will go to the filter feed tank. The excess sludge from the clarifier shall be withdrawn to sludge holding tank then to sludge drying beds for sludge dewatering. The dried sludge can be used as good manure for landscaping.
Tertiary Treatment
In the tertiary treatment the clear water from filter feed tank will be filtered by pumping through the MGF (Multi Grade filter) and ACF (Activated Carbon Filter) for further polishing i.e. for removing colour and smell from the treated water.
The treated sewage is then added with chlorine to kill the pathogens / E-Coli coliforms, so that it becomes fit for disposal in the lake / water ways. Chlorine being a very strong oxidising agent, a small dose of 3 – 4 mg /l is enough to achieve desired levels of disinfection.
Small residual chlorine (of the order of 0.2 – 0.25 mg/l) also ensures that there is no re-growth of E-coli, till the final disposal point. The treated sewage, now substantially free from organic contamination, free from coliform bacteria can be safely disposed off in the river, or in other water bodies. Finally this treated effluent will be passed through UV treatment process. This water can also be re-used for gardening/toilet flushing or for other secondary applications.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C4-9
Chemicals treatment using at least 1% hypo-chloride solution or any other equivalent chemical reagent must be ensured that chemical treatment ensures disinfection. (Ref: According to Biomedical Waste Management Rules 1998, Hospital waste comes under Category 8 i.e. Liquid Waste and detail classification of solid waste is given in Table No. C4-5)
Biomedical waste can be a hazard to the hospital staff and community. This has forced the introduction of Bio Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules 1998 in which the responsibility of the management of the bio-medical waste rests on the "generators" of the waste that is the hospitals. So far, solid infectious and hazardous waste has received greater attention than the liquid waste in the form of effluent. Our surveillance study (2) revealed that besides deviations in the physico-chemical parameters such as pH, suspended solids, biological oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD), hospital effluent has a high load (0.58 to 40%) of multiple drug resistant (MDR) bacteria. The study included viable bacterial counts, coliform counts, staphylococcal, enterococcal, Pseudomonas and Multiple Drug Resistant (MDR) gram negative bacterial counts in the different stages of ETP. In order to study the distribution of bacteria as free floating in liquid and adherent to suspended particles, enumeration of the bacteria in the filtrate and the sediment was also carried out. The effluent input showed 55 % of the 8.6 x 10(6)/ml bacteria as coliforms and E. coli which was a typical of fecal flora. The prevalence of MDR coliforms was 0.26 %. The substantial reduction (> 3 log) was seen for the effluent coming from the clarifier. The bulk of the bacteria in the hospital effluent remain firmly adhered to solid particles; aeration and clarification removes bulk of the bacteria by physical processes like flocculation. The treated liquid effluent still contains sizeable loads of MDR bacteria and inactivation by procedure such as chlorination is required. The bacteria get concentrated in sludge and a greater concentration of chlorine is required for decontamination.
The chlorination results in complete inactivation of the MDR bacteria and thus makes the effluent water safe.

4.1.3 Final Water Quality
However, after treatment of lab effluent in the Mixing, Flocculation & Settling Unit
we will achieve 30 % reduction in terms of BOD, 50 % reduction in terms of COD,
80 % reduction in terms of TSS & 90 % reduction in terms of Detergents. So,
after treatment of lab effluent in the MFS unit the COD, BOD, TSS & others
parameters will be far below the inlet parameters domestic effluent.
Regular monitoring of water pollution within the campus may to be undertaken as
per the guidelines of OSPCB. The water samples are to be collected from all the
drinking water sources. The ground water quality monitoring report will be
communicated to OSPCB and the society of the complex.
Sanitary and Plumbing features:
The material used for plumbing fixture is non-absorptive and acid resistant. Water
spout in the sink has been considered at a level which is adequate to avoid
contaminating utensils and contents of carafes etc.
Floor mounted Water closets with integrated Porcelain Cistern with water
conserving dual flush arrangement have been considered. Porcelain under
counter / over counter wash basin will be used with suitable bottle trap. All
sanitary fittings including Health Faucet will be Chromium plated as per
standards.
The Water distribution system shall be designed & pipe size shall be selected such
that under conditions of peak demand, the capacity at the fixture supply pipe
outlets shall not be less than shown in the IS code. The minimum flow rate & flow
pressure provided to fixture 7 an appliance not listed in IS Code, shall be in
accordance with the manufacturer’s installation instructions. The project include
/use chemical resistant pipe for well waste , soil and vent piping serving lavatory
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C4-12
fixtures. All valves shall be of approved type and compatible with the type of
piping material installed in the system.
4.2.1 Ground Water Quality Monitoring
The most important source of water in the region is groundwater. Groundwater is
available in plenty in the region from the bore wells in the study area. Ground
water from dug wells, tube wells and hand pumps cater to the drinking water
needs of the villages in the region. The quality of ground water was assessed by
taking samples and analyzed as per CPCB norms. The water samples were
collected and analyzed for physical, chemical and microbiological characteristics
as per CPCB guidelines and approved methods.
4.3 RAINWATER RECHARGING AND STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid
any collection/stagnation and flooding of water during excess rainfall. The amount
of storm water run-off depends upon many factors such as intensity and duration
of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary area and the time required for
such flow to reach the drains. The drains shall be located near the carriage way
along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall
run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from various blocks
and roof shall be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins.
Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drain, catch basins and recharging
pits at regular intervals for rain water recharging. Therefore, it has been
calculated to provide 23 rainwater harvesting pits at selected locations, which will
catch the maximum run-off from the area.
1) Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of
storm water pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water
will be bought down through rain water pipes.
2) Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drain, catch basins and
seepage pits at regular intervals for rain water harvesting and ground water
recharging.
3) Peak hourly rainfall 85 mm/hr shall be considered for designing the storm
water drainage system.
4.3.1 Design specifications of the rain water harvesting plan are as follows:
Rain water harvesting has been catered to and designed as per the guideline of
CGWA. Peak hourly rainfall has been considered as 85 mm/hr. The recharge pit of
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C4-13
2.0 m length, 2.0 m breath and 2.0 m height is constructed for recharging the
water. At the bottom of the recharge well, a filter media is provided to avoid
choking of the recharge bore. Design specifications of the rain water harvesting
plan are as follows:
Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning.
The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be
damaged allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting has been
avoided since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off.
All gutter ends will be fitted with a wire mesh screen ad a first flush device
would be installed. Most of the debris carried by the water from the rooftop
like leaves, plastic bags and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the
terrace outlet and to prevent contamination by ensuring that the runoff from
the first 10-20 minutes of rainfall is flushed off.
No sewage or wastewater would be admitted into the system.
No wastewater from area likely to have oil, grease or other pollutants has
been connected to the system.
4.3.2 Maximum Rainfall Intensity Calculation (For Recharge Pit)
Rational formula for calculating run-off = CIA
Q = Runoff in m3
A = Area in sqm
C = Co-efficient of run-off based on Manual on norms and standards for environment clearance of large construction projects, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India.
I = Intensity of rainfall in mm based on IMD Data
Yearly rainfall : 1493 mm/yr
Monsoon Months : June – September
Maximum hourly rainfall = 85 mm/hr
4.3.3 Calculations for storm water load for recharging
Total Run-off: Roof Top
Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Drainage area in sqm = 5832.0 m2
Coefficient of run-off = 0.80
Therefore, runoff = 0.80 x 0.085 x 5832.0 = 396.57 m3/hr
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C4-14
Total Run-off: Paved Surface
Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Drainage area in sqm = 7802.0 m2
Coefficient of run-off = 0.70
Therefore, runoff = 0.70 x 0.085 x 7802.0 = 464.22 m3/hr
Total Run-off: Unpaved Surface
Intensity of rainfall = 85 mm/hr
Drainage area in sqm = 4100.0 m2
Coefficient of run-off = 0.15
Therefore, runoff = 0.15 x 0.085 x 4100.0 = 52.28 m3/hr
Total Runoff Load = (396.57 + 464.22 + 52.28) m3/hr
= 913.07 m3/hr
4.3.4 Typical Rain Water Recharge Pit Details:
Rain Water Recharging pits are being proposed for artificial rain water recharge
within the project premises. Total runoff load from the project site will be 913.07
m3/hr
Total Runoff available for percolation = 913.07 m3/hr.
Consider retention period of percolation pit in minutes (T) = 5
Total run-off load can be stored in given time = 182.6 m3
Rain Water recharge Pit Length x Breath = 2.0 m x 2.0 m, Height = 2.0 m.
Volume of each Recharge pit = 2.0 x 2.0 x 2.0 = 8.0 cum
Volume of each Recharge pit = 8.0 cum
So, No. of pits required = 182.6/8.0 = 22.8 say 23 nos.
Rain Water Recharge pits = 23 nos.

CHAPTER-V AIR & NOISE MANAGEMENT
5.0 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Ambient Air Quality indicates of overall state of environment of a particular area. Ambient air quality (AAQ) is an important criterion of a sound environment and its degradation causes various long-term impacts on the human health & wealth. Adjacent areas of the site are almost residential. A secondary source of emissions may include exhaust from diesel engines of earth moving equipment, as well as from open burning of solid waste on-site. Adequate mitigate measures will be adopted to reduce and control air emissions from Operation phase.
5.0.1 Air Pollution Monitoring
The study was for one month with frequency of twice a week at each site. 24-hour average samples were collected from each station for Respirable particulate Matter (RPM or PM10), Fine particulate matter (PM2.5), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of nitrogen (NO2). These samples were analyzed in laboratory by adopting the methods specified in National Ambient Air Quality Standards. The baseline information has been generated by M/s CEMC Pvt. Ltd., Bhubaneswar.
5.0.2 Ambient Air Quality of the site
The results of the monitored data indicate that the ambient air quality of the region in general is in conformity with respect to residential norms of National Ambient Air Quality standards of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), with present level of activities. Analysis results with respect to PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2 are presented in Table No. C5-1.
Table No. C5 - 1: Ambient Air Quality of the study area during Mar 2017
5.0.3.1 Air Quality Scenario In Respect of PM10 & PM2.5
Particulate Matter or dust in general terms is the particulate matter in suspension in ambient air. The PM10 almost entirely consists of coarse particulates and fine particles out of which coarse particles are quickly eliminated in respiratory system and, hence are not very harmful. But particulate matter (PM10) in the size range of 0.5 to 10 microns can cause health effects.
PM10 & PM2.5 levels in the Area
PM10 & PM2.5 levels were in the range of 41.7 - 64.2 µg/m3 and 21.8 - 35.1 µg/m3 respectively.
Fig. No.C5-1: Graphical Represent of PM10 Value
Fig. No.C5-2: Graphical Represent of PM2.5 Value
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C5-3
Scenario with respect to PM10 & PM2.5
The 24 hourly average values of PM10 were compared with the national ambient air quality standards and it was found that almost all sampling stations recorded values lower than the applicable limit of 100µg/m3 for Residential areas. The PM2.5 was also found to be within the standard limit of 60µg/m3 for Residential areas.
5.0.3.2 Air Quality Scenario In Respect of SO2
General Effect of Sulphur Dioxide
Sulphur dioxide gas is an inorganic gaseous pollutant. Sulphur dioxide emissions are expected to be emitted wherever combustion of any fuel containing elemental sulphur takes place.
The sulphur in the fuel will combine with oxygen to form sulphur dioxide. Sulphur trioxide and sulphuric acid mist are the other important pollutants in the sulphur group. SO2 (sulphur dioxide) in the air is caused due to the rise in combustion of fossil fuels.
SO2 Levels in the Project Area:
SO2 levels were in the range of 11.3 – 13.5 µg/m3.
Fig. No.C5-3: Graphical Represent of SO2 Value
Scenario with respect to SO2
The 24 hourly average values of SO2 were compared with the national ambient air quality standards and it was found that most of the sampling stations recorded values lower than the applicable limit of 80µg/m3 for Residential areas.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C5-4
5.0.3.3 Air Quality Scenario In Respect of NOX
General Effect of Oxides of Nitrogen
Like Sulphur dioxide, oxides of nitrogen are also an inorganic gaseous pollutant. Oxides of nitrogen are expected to be emitted wherever combustion at high temperature takes place. Nitrous oxide and nitric acid mist are the other important pollutants in the inorganic nitrogen group. It causes eye, nose, and throat irritation. May cause impaired lung function and increased respiratory infections in young children. NO2 acts mainly as an irritant affecting the mucosa of the eyes, nose, throat, and respiratory tract.
NOx Levels in the Project area
NOx levels were in the range of 19.2 – 23.4 µg/m3.
Fig. No.C5-4: Graphical Represent of NOX Value
Scenario with respect to NOx
The 24 hourly average values of NOx were compared with the national ambient air quality standard and it was found that all the sampling stations recorded values lower than limit of 80µg/m3 for industrial areas.
5.0.4 Air Quality Modeling Study
Prediction of Impacts
Vehicular emissions and DG sets emission will be major sources of air pollution from building projects. During the operation phase, cars, scooter/motorcycle will be owned by the population of such project. Ground Level Concentration of pollutants (as added by the project) will depend upon the following:
Emission of pollutants from additional traffic on the roads due to the project.
Meteorological conditions.
Emission sources from D.G. Sets.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C5-5
In this project, 3 DG sets of 1250 KVA capacity has been proposed for back up of electricity supply during power failure. This will cause emission of PM10, SO2, NOx and CO in the Ambient Air Quality. In the proposed project D.G. sets will be used only during power failure and low sulphur diesel will be used as fuel to minimize SO2 emission. Therefore, incremental load in the ambient air environment will be found to be very low as given in the report. An adequate stack height of 48 m is attached with D.G. sets will be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB)/ National Building Code Manual to facilitate proper dispersion of pollutants and to minimize the impact on Ambient Air Quality under the influence of local meteorology.
Meteorology - Hourly Meteorological data of wind speed & direction, temperature, cloud amount and rainfall were monitored at site for 1 month for the dispersion model. Wind rose (Fig. No.C5-5) was prepared in sixteen directions as per standards.

CHAPTER-VI GREENBELT AND LANDSCAPING
6.0 GREEN BELT DETAIL:
Green belt has been developing all around the plant. Nearly 8 types of plant species are selected for Green belt development. The selection being based on the broad-leafed nature of the trees and its ability to attract birds.
The philosophy behind the green belt development is to improve the ecology and environment of the surrounding of the plant by extensive afforestation.
PLANT DETAILS
Total of 8500 sheddy, flowery and decorative plants are planted
Greenbelt is a set of rows of trees planted in such a fashion, to create effective barrier between the plant and surroundings. The greenbelt helps to capture the fugitive emissions, attenuate the noise levels in the plant and simultaneously improving aesthetics of the project site. The greenbelt around the factory compound wall and in the reserve site will be developed in keeping view of the following objectives.
1. Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered pattern. 2. The short trees will be planted in the first two rows and the tall trees in the
outer rows around the purview of the project site. 3. Since the trunks of the trees are generally devoid of foliage, it will be useful to
have shrubs in front of the tress so as to give coverage to this portion. 4. Sufficient spacing will be maintained between the trees to facilitate effective
height of the greenbelt. 5. Plants of native origin, fast growing type with canopy and large leaf index
shall be preferred.

CHAPTER-VIII SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
8.0 SOLID WASTE DISPOSAL SYSTEM
During Operation:
From the domestic uses solid waste in form of food waste from kitchen and
miscellaneous waste will be generated @ 0.4 kg/capita/day, which will be about
384 kg/day. The generated solid waste from the residential complex will be
collected into a garbage bin located at a suitable location inside the complex. Bio-
medical waste generation from Existing 400 beds is 200 Kg/d, Bio-medical waste
generation from 100 beds (Expansion) is 50 Kg/d. Solid waste from sweeping will
also be stored into the garbage bin. The solid waste will be segregated at source
and will be stored in separate coloured bins (different biodegradable & non-
biodegradable bins). Proper waste management practices will be adopted during
the collection, storing and disposal of the generated solid waste.
Around STP & ETP sludge of 10 kg/day will be generated. As sewage & effluent
sludge contains many elements essential to plant life, such as nitrogen,
phosphorous, potassium, and in addition, at least traces of minor nutrients which
are considered more or less indispensable for plant growth, such as boron,
calcium, copper, iron, magnesium, manganese, sulfur, and zinc. The sludge
humus, besides furnishing plant food, benefits the soil by increasing the water
holding capacity, thus making possible the working of heavy soils into satisfactory
seed beds. Sludge will be used as manure in landscaping.
3. Street Waste* Street sweeping, dirt, leaves, catch basin dirt, animal dropping, contents of litter receptacles dead animals.
4. Horticultural waste* Tree trimming, leaves, waste from parks and gardens etc.
5. General domestic waste from office and administration Paper, General Domestic Waste etc.
7. STP Sludge Sludge generation after treatment of sewage in STP.

8.1 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT:
Construction and decommissioning activities may pose the potential for release of
petroleum based products, such as lubricants, excess paints, paint brushes,
hydraulic fluids and fuels during their storage, transfer or use in equipment.
These materials may also be encountered during decommissioning activities in
building components. Proper precaution and care will be taken during handling
and storage. Waste will be disposed as per Hazardous Waste management and
Handling Rules 1989 and Amendments thereof.
8.1.1 Biomedical-Waste management in hospital
The waste management in hospital is to be followed in tune with the gazette and notification on the Bio medical waste management rules 1998, at hospital, it comprises of the following.
8.1.2 Classification
Categorization and classification of waste is important for the purpose of safe waste disposal. At hospital the waste generated has been broadly classified into the following categories:
Category 1 Pathological waste Human anatomical waste, consists of human tissues, organs, body parts, human fetus, blood and body fluids
Incineration /deep burial
Category 2 Animal waste Animal waste consists of animal tissues, organs, body parts, carcasses, bleeding parts, fluids, blood and experimental animals used in research, waste generated by veterinary hospitals and collages, discharge from hospitals, animals houses

Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-5
8.1.3 Sources of waste in the hospital:
Waste generated from clinical units, the bulks of which is mostly infectious waste.
The principal source of clinical waste is:
Hospitals
Health centres
Blood transfusion centres
Dental centres and surgeries
Public health laboratories
Veterinary surgeries
Research establishment
The sources of waste generated from various units of the hospitals which
are both infectious and general waste. The units are:
Wards including medical, surgical, casualty, dialysis operation theatres,
nursing stations
Utility rooms
OPDs
Clinics
Procedure rooms
Dietary dept
Housekeeping dept
X ray departments
Laboratories
Maintenance dept
Sanitary dept
Various dept
Medical records dept
Offices such as administration, accounts, H.R
Garden
Hostels on the hospitals premises
Other units within the hospital
8.1.4 Generation of hospital premises
A whole lots of waste is being generated in a hospital which consists of general
waste and hospital or bio-medical waste. Both types of waste are usually
generated from the same source, that is from various units of the hospitals like
wards, operation theatres, OPD’s / clinic etc. for e.g. the wards generate
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-6
infectious and non-infectious waste and so does every other unit of the hospital.
When they are generated, collected and disposed of together there is mixing of
waste which contaminates the whole waste stream and then actually the whole
waste becomes infectious. This causes a whole lot of problems at the site of
disposal. If minimization and segregation is done the problem could be reduced to
one fifth. Who generates waste in hospital facility.
Every single employee in any health care facility that is hospitals, nursing homes,
pathological laboratories, clinic, dispensaries, pharmacies vet nary clinic, dental
clinic, research centers etc.
The generators of biomedical wastes are doctors, nurses, technician, pharmacists,
staff, administrators, officers, gardeners, security staff, food outlets etc.
Around 3 million tons of medicals waste is generated in India every year, and this
amount is expected to grow at 8 % annually, the generation rate in a hospital is
approximately 0.5 and 1.5 kg per bed per day. Various studies figures, changes
could be made accordingly.

8.1.5 Segregation of waste
Segregation is considered the most important aspect of bio medical waste
management and handling rules, 1998. It refers to the basic separation of
different categories of waste done at source of generation of bio–medical waste
for e.g. all patient areas, diagnostic, services areas, operation theatres labor
rooms, treatment rooms etc. The one bin system should be replaced to a three or
four bin system, thereby reducing the risks of infection and injury as well as cost
of treatment and disposal, segregation alone can ensure effective bio medical
waste management. The waste should be segregation, imposing segregated
practices within hospitals to separated biological and chemical hazardous waste;
this will result in a clean solid waste stream, which can be recycled easily, if
proper segregation is achieved through training, clear standards, and tough
enforcement, then resources can be tuned to the management of the small
portion of the waste stream needing special treatment. Segregation of the waste
shall be done at the point of generation itself.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-12
8.1.5.1 Procedure:
Segregation shall be carried out at the point of generation itself to keep
general wastes away from becoming infected.
For this different colour coded bins shall be placed at all the areas of
generation of waste.
The bins should be labelled (according to the waste) and lined with plastic
bags (non–chlorinated / puncture proof) with colours matching that of the
bins as per recommendations.
Table No. C8 - 5: Schedule II of biomedical waste handling rules 1998 defines the colour coding for the waste generated as follows: S.NO
COLOR CODING TYPE OF CONTAINER
WASTE CATEGORY
TREATMENT OPTIONS AS PER SCHEDULES -I
1 Yellow Plastic bag Category 1,2 and category 3,6
Incineration/ Deep burial
2 Red Disinfected container /plastic bag
Category 3,6,7
Autoclaving / microwaving/ Chemical Treatment
3 Blue/White translucent
Plastic bag /puncture proof container
Category 4,7 Autoclaving / microwaving/ chemical treatment and destruction / shredding
4 Black Plastic bag Category 5,9,10 solid
Disposal in secured land fill
Notes:
Colour coding of waste categories with multiple treatment options as defined
in schedule-I shall be selected depending on treatment option chosen, which
shall be as specified in schedule–I
Waste collection bags for waste types needing incineration shall not be made
of chlorinated plastics.
Categories 8 and 10 (liquid) do not require containers /bags
Categories 3 if disinfected locally need not be put in containers/bags
Procedure –Segregation In-Patient Department
The in–patients departments generate all types of waste, which has to be
segregated at the point of generation itself for an effective waste
management practice in the hospital. Therefore bins for both infectious and
non-infectious waste are placed in all the wards.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-13
The bedside of each patient shall have a bin meant for carrying only non
infectious waste like fruit peels, papers etc. unless the patient is classified as
infectious
The toilet of each patient room will have a black bag bin with lid & pedal
except in gyne/obs room toilet which have both black & yellow bag bin with lid
& pedal.
Bins for the infectious and non-infectious wastes shall be kept in a specific
location (for example the nursing station) so that it is easy to carry the waste
from the bed side / patient room to the bin.
Dressing trolley will have buckets line with yellow, white and blue bag
infectious waste is discarded. Once the dressing is complete these bin are
emptied in to the bin placed in nursing station.
The colour bin and nurse station are emptied in to the on wheels and wheeled
to the central garbage storage areas for disposal.
Procedure –Segregation in Intensive care unit
Patients of intensive care units (ICU) are in a critical state and require support
of vital functions until the disease process is arrested. Such patients are likely
to have poor resistance to infection and are often unable to do things on their
own and have full time nursing attendants.
To prevent the spreading of infection further it shall be ensured that the waste
generated in the ICU is collected in the colour coded bags located after every
three bags, also the bins for infectious and non infectious waste shall be
located in the loading area of the ICU
The IV tubing ‘s and catheters and used syringes shall be placed in colour
coded bins placed between every 3 beds from where they can be discarded in
the respective colour coded bins in the duty rooms.
After the procedure all the sharps and glass ampoules shall also be placed in
separate puncture proof containers. The hub of the syringes should be
destroyed by syringes cutters.
All these bins shall be cleaned after every shift or the moment these bins
becomes 75% full. The number of bins should be distinct and their numbers
and size should be proportional to the destiny of the wards and the medical
procedures in the ward.
Procedure –Segregation In operation theatres
The waste management strategy for the O.T shall be designed in such away
so as not to impede an operation but to ensure that the waste reaches the
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-14
main bin after being decontaminated and disposables property disinfected and
destroyed.
As in all other areas waste disposal program shall be initiated after meeting
with the staff management strategies based on meeting shall be formulated
so that the O.T staff can work smoothly without felling any extra burden. Bins
for infectious waste shall be lined with follow bags and these bins will contain
contaminated swabs, soiled bandages and amputated body parts.
The bags with waste shall be sealed and stored outside the O.T prevent
liberation of bacteria during handling.
Used instrument and sharps shall be
Washed under running tap water
Placed in a tray, sealed in bags and sent for autoclaving.
A designated colour code bin with bag is provided for TV sets, tubing’s
catheters gloves and syringes in the O.T. As lots of medical kits are opened
prior to the operation there is a lots of general waste generated. Hence a bin
with black bag for general waste is kept in the O.T in which all the packaging
material shall be collected. In the changing room contaminated laundry shall
be sealed in waterproof bags and sent to the laundry for cleaning.
Procedure –Segregation In Out –Patient Department
The OPD may also include a casualty /emergency ward. Each room in the
OPD should have three bins. The bins are for the infectious waste which
includes soiled bandages. The other bins is for general waste arid the third
bin the disposable items and used gloves which can be mutilated and
disinfected at regular intervals by nursing –aid attendant.
The used needles and syringes should be placed separately and destroyed by
the needle cutter /destroyer, which is to be provided in each ward and
department.
The casualty should have bins for infectious waste general waste and plastic
waste the number of bins for the infectious waste will depend on the number
of beds in the room.
Preferably each bed should have bins. Bins for plastic waste and general
waste should also be installed in each emergency. The plastic waste should
be mutilated and chemical disinfected. There should be a tray foe needles and
other sharps. A needles cutter should also be installed. While treating patient
in the emergency the hospital staff should always wear protective clothing
and gloves as the patient could be a carrier of any infectious disease
Segregation of the waste into different categories
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-15
Provide specific collection and disinfection systems for each type of waste
generated.
There should be distinct containers for different types of waste.
The design f container should depend on the type of waste and dis infection
method.
The number of bins should be proportional to the waste generated in the
casualty.
8.1.6 Transportation of Waste
All waste containers shall be tied when they are ¾ th full preferably every shift
and when they are ¾ th full in between shifts.
8.1.6.1 Procedure –On Site Transportation of Waste Segregated wastes have to be transported with in facility from the point of
generation to the final waste disposal site. All bags should be fastened small
trolleys can be used or the bin themselves be carried, care must be taken to
avoid spills. Non-infectious waste should not be transported with infectious
waste.
8.1.6.2 Guidelines–For Site Transportation of Waste When waste is collected from a particular area, it will be wheeled through a
specific corridor to the specific lift earmarked to carry waste to the central
garbage storage area where it is weighed and transferred to the loading track
for disposal.
This will be done twice during the day once at 7.00 am and second time at
3.00pm and if required in between the time mentioned.
A large plastic bag will be used to the line the wheel able to prevent any
liquid leaks from the waste bags from soiling the bin.
This plastic bag is to replaced each shift.
The wheel able bin will be cleaned and disinfected with sodium hypochlorite
solution once in 24 hrs. This will keep the bin sterile and odorless
While transferring waste to storage bins to the central garbage storage area,
housekeeping staff will wear protective clothing e.g mask, heavy duty gloves
and rubber boots goggles and gown
8.1.7 Storage of Waste
The waste bags need to be stored prior to disposal. The following points are to be
considered
Biomedical waste storage areas should be separately from general waste
storage areas.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-16
Clear signs indicating “for biomedical waste only” should be indicated
The areas should be locked and a care taker should be able operate the
storage area around the clock if necessary
The storage area should be away from public access and routes and should
be easily accessible to internet and off site transport
It should be well lit and ventilated and kept secure from animals, rodents and
insects.
Washing facilities should be available at the storage area and equipment for
dealing with spillages should also be available there .There should be a
special drain to discharge the washing which should go to the foul sewer.
There should be sufficient storage capacity to store at least 2 days waste.
The storage area should be labelled as well as the waste bags .The room
should also be marked with a caution sign (bio hazard sign)
The deal procedure to store bio medical waste is that it should be
immediately treated and disposed of .However untreated biomedical waste
can be stored for not more than 48 hours
If for some reason there is a need to store the waste beyond the stipulated
period, then permission from the local statutory body must be taken and it must
be ensured that is does not adversely affect the health and the environment.
Definition
Transportation and storage refers to the safe removal of waste from the areas of
generation and collection and taken to the storage area until it is removed for
disposal.
Purpose
To safely remove waste to the storage area earmarked for the same
To store all hospital waste in one area of the hospital before final disposal
To prevent spread of infection to patients, attendants, and hospital
employees who generate waste by stagnating waste in various departments
Scope
All waste generators
Responsibility
HOD waste management .medical and nursing staff, paramedical staff,
housekeeping staff.
Equipment
Protective gear hat is mask, gloves, gowns, aprons, shoe covers, hand rub.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-17
Procedure
Before removing waste for transporting to the storage area:
Check if the waste is properly segregated
Label the colour coded plastic bags which contain the waste
Tie the bags before placing them on the transport trolley
Check for any leakage of the bags and take care of the leakage area as
per SOP prepared for the time.
While transporting the waste
Ensure that the trolley has the bio hazardous sign on it
That the trolley is covered and waste is not exposed
Wheel the trolley through the shortest route possible to the dumbwaiter
Suite or the lift earmarked for transporting hospital waste, avoid the
patient and attendants lift.
If any leakage occurs while transporting the waste, then follow the SOP
steps prepared for spillage.
Place the plastic in the storage room earmarked for the same.
Wash the transporting trolley and try it, and keep it for the next use
Wash hands and change clothing
Maintain record of what type of waste has been transported for disposal
8.1.8 Handling of Waste a. Procedure Handling Of Infectious Waste
Infectious waste has to kept separately in bins with lid and lined with the
designated color coded bins polythene bags wherever needed. The following
special precautions are to be adopted with respect to infectious wastes
Proper labelling of waste containers minimizes confusion in handling and
disposal of waste.
Under no circumstances should the infectious waste be mixed with the
non infectious waste
The bag lining the bin should be only ¾ th full to ensure that the waste
does not spill out.
Before carrying the bag containing infectious waste it has to be sealed
/tied and levelled, the person handling the waste will wear protective
clothing.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-18
The bags containing infectious waste should be collected and stored in
the centralized infectious waste bin until is sent for disposal
The container carrying infected waste should be always cleaned and dis
infected with sodium hypochlorite solution
b. Procedure Handling Of Disposal Items
All disposable items are segregated / collected in the designated colour
coded bins/ bags
Disposable items include single use products i.e syringes, IV bottles,
catheters, rubbers, gloves and sharps
As such items are often recycled and have the risk of being reused
illegally, it is imperative that chemical disinfection be followed to minimize
the risk of infected / contaminated disposal items prior to segregated /
collected. The following on site disinfection procedure should be followed
prior to their collection & segregation
The disposable of HIV, hepatitis B & C, ESBL +ve, VRE +ve patients are
dipped for a minimum duration of 1 ½ to 2 hour in the chemical
disinfectant solution of 1% NAOCL (sodium hypochlorite) .Bins that are
used for chemical disinfectant are a set of twin bins, one inside the other,
with the inner one being perforated and easily extracted
This helps ensure, that the bleach solution in the outsides bin permeates
the inner bin containing the disposable items and minimize contact when
the contents are being removed
Disposable items like the gloves, syringes, IV bottles, catheters, ICD’s etc
have to be shredded cut or mutilated this ensure that they are not reused
under any circumstances. The fingers of the used gloves should be cut,
and the same should be done for other disposable items
Extreme care should be taken while handling the needles and syringes
,since most injuries occur between the point of use and disposal, Blood
bags/ sharps should be handled with proper protection
Once the disposable items have been snipped they have to be dipped in an
effective chemical disinfectant foe a sufficient time
8.1.9 Precaution to be adopted for Disposal of Disposables
The following precaution safeguards are to be adopted:
All disposable items are segregated /collected in the designated colour
coded bins/bags
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-19
Only disposable items of HIV, hepatitis B & C ESBL +ve, VRE +ve patient
are dipped for a minimum duration of 1 ½ or 2 hours in the chemical
disinfectant solution 1% NAOCL after mutilation prior to disposable
Syringes &sharps should be handled with extreme care, no recapping
should be done
The concentration of the chemical solution in use has to be 10gms of
bleach in 1 litre water
handling The disposable items must be dipped in the sodium hypochlorite
solution for at least half an hour to ensure proper disinfection
The solution has to be changed after each shift
Ensure that the syringes hub is cut from its plunger before disposing in he
designated bin /bags
8.1.10 Procedure Disposal of Sharps
Handling of sharps is extremely difficult sharps are responsible for a majority of
injuries sharps need separately attention from other disposable in a waste
management scheme.
As defined by central pollution control board (CPCB) guidelines sharps consists
of needles syringes scalpels blades glass etc that are capable of causing
puncture &cuts
8.1.11 Types of Sharps
The most commonly used sharps include single use hypodermic needles
syringes pasture pipettes scalpel blades blood vials tubes needles with
All personnel in the laboratory should wear gloves during testing procedures
and disposal
No mouth pip petting should be done
In case of a spill or leak of blood or infectious material, pour freshly prepared
1% sodium hypochlorite on it and leave for 15 min. Use a stack of old
newspapers to clean the area and discard the papers in yellow bin.
The containers with specimens are to be sent for autoclaving and discarded
into the blue bag (if the containers are plastic ) otherwise if it is glass then in
the separate bag for glass wastes
Tissues received in formalin are to be finally discarded in yellow bag and sent
for incineration.
Empty plastic bags, paper, peels etc. are disposed of in black bag
Waste Disposal Practices & Precaution – Blood bank
Guidelines:
All personnel in the blood bank should wear gloves during sample collection,
testing procedure and disposal.
No mouth pipetting should be done.
In case of a spill/leak of blood infectious material, 1% sodium hypochlorite is
poured over the surface and allowed to act for 15 min. Thereafter, it is
cleaned using a stack of old newspaper and then wiped.
Dispose of all SHARPS i.e. needles, scalpel blades after destroying (in a
needle cutter/burner) into freshly prepared 1% sodium hypo-chlorite.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C8-24
The syringes I.V line sets, catheters etc. are disinfected in a bin containing
1% sodium hypo – chlorite and then disposed.
All paper, peels wrappers are disposed off in a bin with black bag.
All tubes with blood samples are disposed off in a 1% solution o sodium
hypochlorite and the sent for washing for reuse.
Bag standards: - all bags used for biomedical waste collection are
biodegradable.
HIV &Hepatitis Blood Samples: - all bags used for biomedical waste collection
are biodegradable.
Waste Treatment
Treatment of the biomedical waste shall be done by the following methods
Incineration
Autoclaving
Microwaving.
M/s Sani Clean has taken the responsibility of collecting & treatment of Bio-
Medical Waste generated at AMRI Hospital.
8.2 E-WASTE MANAGEMENT:
E-waste is one of the fastest growing waste streams around the world today,
fuelled by the exponential growth of electronic equipments, especially personal
computers and their rapid rate obsolescence. Electronic wastes like Television,
Monitor, Key Board, Printer, Desktop, Laptop, Telephone, Mobile etc may be
generated during the Operation Phase. These wastes contain both precious
metals and toxic substances, which if handled properly can result in resource
recovery. Various types of above mentioned electrical and electronic wastes
generated in the building should be collected separately for transportation to the
authorized recyclers approved by the state/Central pollution control boards.
8.3 HANDLING OF SOLID WASTE:
For better housekeeping, Solid waste handling and disposal, The House keeping group conduct close monitoring of housekeeping action to ensure that solid wastes are properly collected, stored and disposed. The Solid Waste generated from the residential Complex will be collected and separated out as biodegradables and non-biodegradable. Biodegradable waste will be stored in green bins whereas non-biodegradable waste separated as Recyclable and Non-recyclable waste, which will be stored in designated bins. Finally the wastes from designated bins send to approved agency for final disposal.

11.2 EMERGENCY ACTION PLANS
11.2.1Emergency Action plan for Cylinder Fire:
When filled container containing LPG is involved in fire, internal pressure if not relieved, will build up above 70 kg/sqcm and ultimately rupture the container. Rupture weak by direct flame impingement. Ruptured containers can be propelled at distance by jet action.
If container’s pressure is not raised upto 70 Kg/sqcm leakage from screwed valve joint can occur due to different expansion of steel and brass.
Ignition of the escaping gas would aggravate the fire but release of fire reduces the possibility of rupture.
No attempt should be made to extinguish the burning gas but the container under fire and other containers in vicinity should be kept cool by water spray.
If the gas leakage does not ignite, the container should be approached from top and removed to the place of safety away from, the source of ignition.
11.2.2Emergency action plan for Electric Fire:
Disconnect the electric supply of the affected areas.
Attempt to extinguish fire with the help of CO2, DCP
If the fire is not extinguished, extinguish by spraying water with fog nozzle after ensuring complete isolation of electric circuit.
11.2.3Emergency Action Plan for Oil Fire:
Attempt to extinguish fire with the help of DCP.
If the fire is not controlled, use water foam to blanket the fire and further action is to be taken.
11.2.4Emergency action plan for Medical Aid:

11.2.5Hazards arising due to Bulk oxygen systems (Oxygen Storage Plant):
A bulk oxygen system is an assembly of equipment, such as oxygen storage containers, pressure regulators, safety devices, vaporizers, manifolds, and interconnecting piping, which has storage capacity of more than 13,000 cubic feet of oxygen, Normal Temperature and Pressure (NTP), connected in service or ready for service, or more than 25,000 cubic feet of oxygen (NTP) including unconnected reserves on hand at the site. The bulk oxygen system terminates at the point where oxygen at service pressure first enters the supply line. The oxygen containers may be stationary or movable, and the oxygen may be stored as gas or liquid.
Extremely cold, oxidizing liquid and gas under pressure.
Vigorously accelerates combustion.
Combustibles in contact with liquid oxygen may explode on ignition or impact.
Can cause severe frostbite.
May cause dizziness and drowsiness.
Self-contained breathing apparatus and protective clothing may be required by rescue workers.
Effects of a single (acute) overexposure:
Inhalation–Breathing 80% or more oxygen at atmospheric pressure for more than a few hours may cause nasal stuffiness, cough, sore throat, chest pain, and breathing difficulty. At higher pressures, adverse effects from breathing pure oxygen are more likely and may occur sooner. Breathing pure oxygen under pressure may damage the lungs and affect the Central Nervous System (CNS), producing dizziness, poor coordination, a tingling sensation, visual and hearing disturbances, muscular twitching, unconsciousness, and convulsions. Persons who breathe oxygen under pressure may adapt more slowly to darkness and may suffer reduced peripheral vision.
Skin Contact–No harm expected from vapor. Cold gas or liquid may cause severe frostbite.
Swallowing–An unlikely route of exposure, but severe frostbite of the lips and mouth may result from contact with the liquid.
Eye Contact–No harm expected from vapor. Cold gas or liquid may cause severe frostbite.
Effects of Repeated (Chronic) Overexposure: No harm expected.
Other effects of overexposure: See section 11, Toxicological Information.
First aid measures:
Inhalation: Immediately remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial respiration. Keep victim warm and at rest. Call a physician. Advise the physician that the victim has been exposed to a high concentration of oxygen.
Skin contact: For exposure to liquid, immediately warm frostbite area with warm water not to exceed 105°F (41°C). In case of massive exposure, remove clothing while showering with warm water. Call a physician.
Swallowing: An unlikely route of exposure. This product is a gas at normal temperature and pressure.
Eye contact: Immediately flush eyes thoroughly with warm water for at least 15 minutes. Hold the eyelids open and away from the eyeballs to ensure that all surfaces are flushed thoroughly. See a physician, preferably an ophthalmologist, immediately.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C11-5
Carcinogenicity: Oxygen is not listed by NTP, OSHA, or IARC.
Notes to physician: Supportive treatment should include immediate sedation, anti-convulsive therapy if needed, and rest. See section “Toxicological Information.”
Fire fighting measures:
Extinguishing media: Vigorously accelerates combustion. Use media appropriate for surrounding fire. Water (e.g., safety shower) is the preferred extinguishing media for clothing fires.
Special fire fighting procedures:
Extremely cold, oxidizing liquid and gas under pressure. Evacuate all personnel from danger area. Immediately spray containers with water from maximum distance until cool, taking care not to direct spray onto vents on top of container. Do not discharge sprays into liquid oxygen. Liquid oxygen will freeze water rapidly. When containers have cooled, move them away from fire area if without risk. Self-contained breathing apparatus may be required by rescue workers. On-site fire brigades must comply with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.156.
Unusual Fire and Explosion Hazards:
Oxidizing agent; vigorously accelerates combustion. Contact with flammable materials may cause fire or explosion. Do not walk on or roll equipment over spill; any impact could cause an explosion. Smoking, flames, and electric sparks are potential explosion hazards in oxygen-enriched atmospheres. Heat of fire can build pressure in a closed container and cause it to rupture. No part of a container should be subjected to a temperature higher than 125°F (52°C). Liquid oxygen containers are equipped with pressure relief devices. Venting vapors may obscure visibility. Liquid causes severe frostbite, a burn-like injury. (See section 3.) Air will condense on surfaces such as vaporizers and piping exposed to liquid or cold gas. Nitrogen, which has a lower boiling point than oxygen, will evaporate first, leaving an oxygen-enriched condensate.
Keep all areas of possible condensation free of oil, grease, and other combustible materials to prevent possible ignition or explosion.
Accidental Release Measures:
Steps to be taken if material is released or spilled:
Extremely cold, oxidizing liquid and gas under pressure. Immediately evacuate all personnel from danger area. Avoid contact with spilled liquid and allow it to evaporate. Extremely cold oxidizing liquid and gas. Liquid causes severe frostbite, a burn-like injury. (See section 3.) Do not walk on or roll equipment over spill; any impact could cause an explosion. Contact with flammable materials may cause fire or explosion. Smoking, flames, and electric sparks are potential explosion hazards in enriched oxygen atmospheres. Shut off leak if without risk. Ventilate area or move leaking container to ventilated area. Remove all flammable materials from vicinity. Oxygen must never be permitted to strike an oily surface, greasy clothes, or other combustible material.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C11-6
Emergency Disposal Measures:
Keep personnel away. Liquid oxygen should be dumped into an outdoor pit filled with clean gravel free of grease and oil, where it will safely evaporate. Prevent waste from contaminating the surrounding environment. Discard any product, residue, disposable container, or liner in an environmentally acceptable manner, in full compliance with federal, state, and local regulations. If necessary, call your local supplier for assistance.
Handling and Storage:
Precautions to Be Taken In Storage:
Store and use with adequate ventilation, away from oil, grease, and other hydrocarbons. Store only where temperature will not exceed 125°F (52°C). Do not store in a confined space. Cryogenic containers are equipped with a pressure relief device and a pressure controlling valve. Under normal conditions, these containers will periodically vent product. Separate oxygen containers from flammables by at least 20 ft (6.1 m) or use a barricade of noncombustible material. This barricade should be at least 5 ft (1.53 m) and have a fire resistance rating of at least ½ hour. Use adequate pressure relief devices in systems and piping to prevent pressure buildup; entrapped liquid can generate extremely high pressures when vaporized by warming.
Precautions to be taken in handling:
Never allow any unprotected part of your body to touch uninsulated pipes or vessels containing cryogenic fluids. Flesh will stick to the extremely cold metal and will tear when you try to pull free. Use a suitable hand truck to move containers. Cryogenic containers must be handled and stored in an upright position. Do not drop or tip containers, or roll them on their sides. If valve is hard to open, discontinue use and contact your supplier.
Exposure controls/personal protection:
Ventilation/Engineering controls:
Local exhaust – Use a local exhaust system, if necessary, to prevent increased oxygen concentration.
Respiratory protection:
None required under normal use. However, an air-supplied respirator must be used while working in confined spaces with this product. The respiratory protection used must conform to OSHA rules as specified in 29 CFR 1910.134. Select per OSHA 29 CFR 1910.134 and ANSI Z88.2.
Skin protection:
Wear loose-fitting, cryogenic gloves. Gloves must be free of oil and grease.
Eye protection:
Safety glasses and a full face shield are recommended. Select in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.133.
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C11-7
Other protective equipment:
Metatarsal shoes for container handling. Protective clothing where needed. Cuff less trousers should be worn outside the shoes. Select in accordance with OSHA 29 CFR 1910.132 and 1910.133. Regardless of protective equipment, never touch live electrical parts.
Toxicological information:
At atmospheric concentration and pressure, oxygen poses no toxicity hazards. At high concentrations, newborn premature infants may suffer delayed retinal damage (retrolental fibroplasia) that can progress to retinal detachment and blindness. Retinal damage may also occur in adults exposed to 100% oxygen for extended periods (24 to 48 hours) or at pressures exceeding atmospheric pressure, particularly in individuals whose retinal circulation has been previously compromised. All individuals exposed for long periods to oxygen at high pressure and all who exhibit overt oxygen toxicity should have ophthalmologic examinations.
At two or more atmospheres, toxicity to the CNS occurs. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, dizziness or vertigo, muscle twitching, vision changes, and loss of consciousness and generalized seizures. At three atmospheres, CNS toxicity occurs in less than two hours; at six atmospheres, in only a few minutes. Patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease retain carbon dioxide abnormally. If oxygen is administered, raising their blood-oxygen concentration, their breathing becomes depressed and retained carbon dioxide rises to a dangerous level.
Animal studies suggest that the administration of certain drugs, including phenothiazine drugs and chloroquine, increases the susceptibility to toxicity from oxygen at high concentrations or pressures. Animal studies also indicate that vitamin E deficiency may increase susceptibility to oxygen toxicity. Airway obstruction during high oxygen tension may cause alveolar collapse following absorption of the oxygen. Similarly, occlusion of the Eustachian tubes may cause retraction of the eardrum and obstruction of the paranasal sinuses may produce vacuum-type headache.
Ecological Information:
The atmosphere contains approximately 21% oxygen. No adverse ecological effects expected. Oxygen does not contain any Class I or Class II ozone-depleting chemicals. Oxygen is not listed as a marine pollutant by DOT.
Disposal considerations:
Waste Disposal Method:
Do not attempt to dispose of residual or unused quantities. Contact your supplier. For emergency disposal, discharge slowly to the atmosphere in a well-ventilated area or outdoors. Also see section 6 for disposal following spills.
Other Information:
Be sure to read and understand all labels and instructions supplied with all containers of this product. Medical grades of oxygen are subject to strict federal
Environmental Management Plan AMRI Hospitals Ltd.
CEMC Pvt. Ltd. C11-8
regulation and are for use only under the control of a licensed physician or clinician familiar with the product and its hazards.
Special precautions:
Extremely cold, oxidizing liquid and gas under pressure. All gauges, valves, regulators, piping, and equipment to be used in oxygen service must be cleaned for oxygen service in accordance with CGA pamphlet G-4.1. Keep containers and their valves free of oil and grease. Use piping and equipment adequately designed to withstand the pressures to be encountered. Avoid materials incompatible with cryogenic use; some metals such as carbon steel may fracture easily at low temperature. To prevent cryogenic liquid or cold gas from being trapped in piping between valves, equip the piping with pressure relief devices; entrapped liquid can generate extremely high pressures when vaporized by warming. Use only transfer lines designed for cryogenic liquids. Praxair recommends piping all vents to the exterior of the building.
Never use oxygen as a substitute for compressed air. Never use an oxygen jet for cleaning of any sort, especially for cleaning clothing. Oxygen-saturated clothing may burst into flame at the slightest spark and be quickly consumed in an engulfing fire.
Do not get liquid in eyes, on skin, or on clothing. Persons exposed to liquid high concentrations of oxygen gas should stay in a well-ventilated or open area for 30 minutes before entering a confined space or going near any source of ignition.
Never work on a pressurized system. If a leak occurs, close the cylinder valve. Blow the system down in a safe and environmentally sound manner in compliance with all federal, state, and local laws; then repair the leak.
Never place a compressed gas cylinder where it may become part of an electrical circuit.
Other Hazardous Conditions of Handling, Storage, and Use:
Store and use with adequate ventilation. Close valve after each use; keep closed even when empty. Immediately remove clothing exposed to oxygen and air it out to reduce the likelihood of an engulfing fire. Prevent ignition sources such as static electricity generated in clothing while walking. Protect container against physical damage. Isolate it from combustible gas installations and combustible materials by an adequate distance or by gas-tight, fire resistant barriers. Protect against overheating. Use of this product in manufacturing may generate toxic fumes and gases or create additional toxicity hazards. Consult an industrial hygienist or other appropriately trained person to evaluate end-use operations or processes for hazards and to establish measures to protect employees.
Mixtures: When you mix two or more gases or liquefied gases, you can create additional, unexpected hazards. Obtain and evaluate the safety information for each component before you produce the mixture. Consult an industrial hygienist or other trained person when you evaluate the end product. Remember, gases and liquids have properties that can cause serious injury or death.

General topography: The area is broadly divided into 3 zones, such as run-off zone, infiltration zone and discharge zone. These zones have different hydromorphic units. Hydromorphological maps prepared based on the satellite imagery as well as secondary information. The various land use/land cover classes identified within the 10 Km buffer zone are:
Settlement
It is defined as an area of human habitation developed due to non-agricultural use and that which has a cover of buildings, transport and communication, utilities in association with water, vegetation and vacant lands. In the buffer zone the major part of the settlement is occupied by the urban area.
The rural settlements are mostly associated with vegetation cover and smaller in size.
Urban areas
These are areas of human settlement covered by modern buildings, well developed transport and communication system in association with vegetation and water bodies.
Agricultural Land
It is defined as the land primarily used for farming and for production of food, fiber, and other commercial and horticultural crops.
Plantation
These are the areas associated with degraded forest land where plantation has been made to regenerate the forest or areas where orchards/horticulture has been developed. These areas are characterized by regular shape.
Land with/ without Scrub
These lands occupy (relatively) higher topography like uplands or high grounds with/without any scrub cover. These lands are more prone to degradation or erosion.
Water Bodies
It is a natural course of flowing water on the land along definite channels. It may be perennial or non-perennial.
Waste Land
These lands are generally uplands without any vegetation or agriculture.

Land feature (within 10 km radius):
Land use refers to “man’s activity and the various uses which are carried on
land.” Land cover refers to “natural vegetation, water bodies, rock/soil, artificial
cover and others resulting due to land transformation.” The Land use/Land cover
map of the study area has been prepared based on the satellite imagery as well
as secondary information along with limited field survey.
Soil Characteristics:
The soil zone in earth is in fact the life layer known as biological factory. It controls the quantity, quality and circulation of surface as well as ground water to a great extent. The main sources of ground water is rain water and melt water (snow / ice) which infiltrates downward through the pore spaces of soil and is being collected in aquifers of varying sizes and locations. The quantity and quality of ground water is also controlled by various characteristics of soil like its texture, composition, erosion characteristics, depth etc. In this regard the soils in the world are classified on the basis of six categories or levels of hierarchy (as developed by U.S. Soil Conservation Service and used worldwide), which is called “Comprehensive Soil Classification System or Soil Taxonomy”. On the basis of this soil taxonomy, the various soil types found within the buffer zone are described below.
Aeric Tropaquepts associated with Vertic Tropaquepts
Deep, poorly drained, fine loamy soils on nearly level river island with loamy surface slight erosion moderate flooding and slight salinity associated with very deep moderately well drained fine cracking soils with clayey surface and slight erosion.
Rhodic Plaeustalfs associated with Rhodustalfs
Very deep, well drained, fine loamy soils on gently sloping upland with sandy surface and moderate erosion associated with deep, well drained, fine loamy soils with sandy surface and moderate erosion.
Typic Ustropepts associated with Typic Ustorthent
Moderately shallow, well drained, gravelly loamy soils on very gently sloping
upland with loamy surface and moderate erosion associated with moderately

Impact of the new development on the surrounding areas
1. Traffic management at peak hours
There will be some increase in road traffic during construction phase due to transport of construction materials to the project site. During operation phase also there will be little increase in road traffic, however it will not posses any significant impact on existing traffic.
2. Buffer zone planned, if so, details
The 10 km buffer zone of the project side encompasses various urban landuse activities like hospital, schools, community facilities.
3. Activities likely to come up in the surrounding areas from the project during construction & operation phases
16
Adequate sewage treatment plant, greenbelt, solid waste management plan will be adopted adequately which will be precedent for later developments.
State briefly impacts predicted on the quality and quantity of natural resources from the proposed new development:
- Air quality
- Vegetation
- Animal/Aquatic life
- Surface/ Ground Water
Air quality: Since the GLC of pollutants lie within permissible limits of NAAQ standards as per CPCB, so there is no adverse impact on surrounding area due to the project.
Vegetation/Animal –Aquatic life: no adverse effect.
Ground water: it comes under safe category as per ground water assessment.
State briefly impacts predicted on the quality and quantity of manmade features from the proposed new development:
- Transport Linkages:
a. Road
There will be some increase in road traffic during construction
phase due to transport of construction materials to the project
site. During operation phase also there will be little increase in
road traffic.
b. Rail
