3.3 AMBIENT NOISE MONITORING

3.3.1 Ambient Noise Monitoring Locations The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to assess the present ambient noise levels near project site due to various construction allied activities and increased vehicular movement. A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area. Ambient noise monitoring was conducted at 3locations as given in Table3.6.

Table 3.6 Details of Ambient Noise Monitoring Stations


1 N1 Near Main Gate

2 N2 Centre of the Factory

3 N3 Backside of the Factory

3.3.2 Methodology of Noise Monitoring

Noise levels were measured using sound level meter. Noise level monitoring was carried out continuously for 24-hours with one hour interval starting at 06:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs next day. The noise levels were monitored on working days only. During each hour Leq were directly computed by the instrument based on the sound pressure levels. Monitoring was carried out at ‘A’ response and fast mode.

3.5 WATER QUALITY MONITORING

3.5.1 Water Quality Monitoring Locations Keeping in view the importance of water, samples of drinking water and ground water were collected from inside factory and project site for the assessment of impacts of the project on the water quality. Samples of drinking water and ground water were collected from inside factory and project site. The samples were analyzed for various parameters to compare with the standards for water as per IS: 10500. The details of water sampling locations are given in Table 3.10.

Table3.10 Details of Water Quality Monitoring Station


1. DW1 Drinking Water (Inside Factory)

2. GW1 Ground Water (Near Project site)

3.5.2 Methodology of Water Quality Monitoring

Sampling of water was carried out on September 2018. Samples were collected and sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. Sample collected for metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological analysis was collected in sterilized glass bottles. Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they were transported to laboratory for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. All the samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for different parameters. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.

The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The analytical techniques and the test methods adopted for testing of water are given in Table 3.11&3.12

3.6.4 Discussion on Water Quality in the Study Area The drinking water quality inside factory is observed total alkalinity reaching up to 39.92 mg/L against the

desirable limit of 200 mg/L in drinking water, however, alkalinity is lower than the permissible limit of 600

mg/L. Total Dissolved Solid in the drinking water is 108.00 mg/L, which is lower than the prescribed limit of

500 mg/L in drinking water. In ground water total alkalinity is reaching up to 310.75 mg/L against the desirable

limit of 200 mg/L, however, alkalinity is lower than the permissible limit of 600 mg/L. Total Dissolved Solid in

the ground water is 586.00 mg/L, .However remaining parameters are within the CPCB prescribed limits.

Arsenic and Mercury which are considered to be very risky contaminants were found within the permissible

limit too. The microbiological contaminants (E. Coli & Total Coliform) are absent and <2 per 100 ml of water

sample.

3.6 Waste Water Monitoring

Sampling of ETP water was carried out on September 2018. Samples were collected as grab sample and sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative sample were properly added to preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured for appropriate temperatures. Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they were transported to laboratory for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. All the samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for different parameters. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis. The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The analytical techniques, the test methods adopted for testing of ETP water & results are given below Table 3.13

3.8 SOIL MONITORING

3.8.1 Soil Monitoring Locations The objective of the soil monitoring is to identify the impacts of ongoing project activities on soil quality and also predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of various constructions allied activities. Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil quality has been carried out. To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the Physico-chemical characteristics of soils were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected points and analysis of the same. Single sample of soil was collected from the project site for studying soil characteristics, the location of which is listed in Table 3.16.

Table 3.16Details of Soil Quality Monitoring Location


1. S1 Garden Area

3.8.2 Methodology of Soil Monitoring

The sampling has been done in line with IS: 2720 & Methods of Soil Analysis, Part-1, 2nd edition, 1986 of American Society for Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America. The homogenized samples were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics (physical, chemical and heavy metal concentrations). The soil samples were collected in the month of September 2018. The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for Physico-chemical parameters. The heavy metals have been analyzed by using Atomic Absorption Spectro-photometer.
