i A First aid room as proposed in the project report will be provided in both during construction and operation phase of project

First aid room had been provided for the workers during the constructional phase of the project

ii Adequate drinking water and sanitary facilities should be provided for construction workers at the site. Provision should be made for mobile toilets. open defecation by the labourers is strictly prohibited. The safe disposal of waste water and solid wastes generated during the construction phase should be ensured.

Adequate drinking water & sanitary facilities was provided for construction workers at the site. The workers were from the nearby areas therefore the waste water and solid waste generation was negligible in quantity. Solid waste generated during the construction phase was being disposed off safely.

iii All the top soil excavated during Construction activities should be stored for use in horticulture/landscape development within project site.

Top soil had been stored for use in horticulture/landscape development.

iv Disposal of muck during construction phase should not create any adverse effects on the neighboring communities and disposed taking the necessary precaution for general safety and health with the approval of competent authority.

The generated debris resulting from construction activities was being removed and was being used for site leveling & road construction activity.

v Construction spoils including bituminous materials and other hazardous materials must not be allowed to contamination watercourses and the dump site for such materials must be secured so that they should not leak into groundwater and any hazardous waste generated during construction phase should be disposed off as per applicable rules and norms with necessary approval of Haryana State pollution control Board.

Construction spoils were being stored in a dedicated area duly bounded to avoid contamination to the environment in proximity. Storage area has been covered by insulated lining to prevent contamination from hazardous materials like fuel of DG sets. Waste oil of the generations was disposed of through authorized vendors.

vi The diesel generator sets to be used during construction phase should be of low sulphur diesel type and should confirm to Environment (Protection) Rules prescribed for air and noise emission standard.

Silent DG sets were being used at the project site during construction stage, which maintained noise and emission within the permissible limits. The Point Source Noise monitoring was being conducted. The noise level in the DG Set area was found within the permissible limit prescribed.

vii The diesel required for operating DG sets shall be stored in underground tank if required clearance from chief controller of explosive shall be taken.

The diesel was stored in dug and pits covered with metal sheet/asbestos sheets. The quantity of diesel stored was 1000 liters Moreover we have also applied for the NOC from Chief Controller of Explosives.

viii Ambient noise levels should conform to the Residential standards both during day and night. Incremental pollution loads on the ambient air and noise quality should be closely monitored during construction phase. Adequate measures should be taken to reduce ambient air and noise level during construction phase, so as to confirm stipulated Residential standard.

Ambient air, Stack, noise and Point source noise monitoring has been conducted. The noise and emission standards were within the permissible limit. Moreover adequate practices have been implemented to reduce the ambient air and noise levels.

3.3.2 Methodology of water Quality Monitoring

Sampling of drinking water was carried out on September, 2015. 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. Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys. 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 by road to Vardan Envirolab, Gurgaon for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. 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 drinking water are given in Table 3.7.

3.3.4 Discussion on water Quality in the Study Area The water quality in the project area is observed to be alkaline in nature with total alkalinity reaching up to 51.12 mg/L at project against desirable limit of 200 mg/L, however, alkalinity is less than the permissible limit of 600 mg/L. Total dissolved solids in the water is 77.00mg/L at project site against prescribed limit of 500 mg/L. However, remaining parameters are within the CPCB prescribed limits.

3.7 SOIL MONITORING 3.7.1 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 3.15.

Table 3.15 Details of Soil Quality Monitoring Location


1. S1 Near Project Site

3.7.2 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. 2015. 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.

3.7.3 Soil Monitoring Results

Single sample of soil is collected from the site to check the quality of soil of the study area .The physico-chemical characteristics of the soil, as obtained from the analysis of the soil sample, are presented in Table 3.16

Table 3.16 Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Soil in the Study Area

3.7.4 Discussion on Soil Characteristics in the Study Area

The soil in study area is characterized by moderate organic content. The soil quality in the project area has not been affected by the project activities.
