2.5.1 ORGANIC WASTE CONVERTER

Process:

OWC are equipped with intuitive technology which maintains the right temperature, air

flow and moisture. A special bacteria which is heat, salt and acid resistant is used. Once

the bacteria are introduce in machine they reproduce at a rapid pace under ideal internal

condition.

When organic waste is filled in composter, increase in moisture level is detected by

sensor which starts the heating system. As the temperature increases it activates the

bacteria which break down organic waste into compost. At the same time moisture in

waste is converter into water vapor which is vented through blower into drain. This

result into nearly 85% volume reduction in compost formed. The temperature in the

composter is high enough that even dairy, fish and meat are easily composted. The

constant temperature and air flow prevents odor and pest problem.

The Composter will be emptied only once a week and the compost can be used in

garden.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

28

4.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Environmental Management Plan envisaged for this construction project is described

hereunder with a strong commitment to follow best Environmental practices to reduce the

negative implication to make this project a sustainable development endeavor.

The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible

extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before

they are discharged.

Environmental management plan aims at the preservation of ecosystem by considering the

pollution abatement facilities at the project inception. In the upcoming modern housing

project, pollution abatement has become an integral part of planning and designs along

with techno economic factors.

The different Environmental components that are identified in the assessment chapter are

dealt hereunder with necessary environmental management plan. The emphasis on the

EMP development is on the following:

Mitigation measures for each of the activities causing the Environmental impact.

Monitoring plans for checking activities and Environmental parameters and

monitoring responsibilities.

Role responsibilities and resource allocation for monitoring.

Following sections describes the Environment management plan proposed for construction

and operation phases.

4.1 SITE CLEARANCE:

Control of Soil Erosion:

Generally cutting of herbaceous vegetation, during the construction phase results in

the loosening of the top soil.

Vegetation removal shall be minimized to prevent extent of soil erosion.

29

Vegetative cover shall be re-projected /rehabilitated at the earliest practicable time

to minimize duration & extent of soil erosion.

Control of Noise Levels:

Selection of equipment with less noise generation to be used.

The earth moving equipment shall be periodically checked and maintained for noise

levels. Since the site is more or less even use of these earth moving equipments may

not be necessary.

The workers shall be provided with adequate personal protection equipment (PPE)

such as ear plugs to reduce impact of high noise levels.

Control of Dust generation:

The construction activity will result in the increase of SPM concentrations due to

fugitive dust.

The site cleared shall be periodically watered to reduce emission of dust

particles.

The workers shall be provided with PPE such as nose masks and googles to

reduce impact on health.

4.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT:

As the proposed unit is a construction of an apartment, SPM, SO2 & NOX emissions

from the operations will be very less concern. Water sprinkling will be provided

through out the complex to control the fugitive emissions arises if any during

construction activity.

Generation of Dust

Pre Construction & Construction Stages

Dust will be generated from transport, construction, and utility operations. The

mitigative measure proposed is water sprinkling of the roads, and covered

construction activity so as to ensure the dust does not fly. The road condition is a

major cause of the dust and permanent black top roads will be provided as far as

possible in the construction area. Exposure of labor and employees during

30

construction will be mitigated by provision of facemasks to employees at dust

generating sources.

To reduce level of dust emissions from the crusher and batching plant and other

transportation of materials will be taken up including vehicles delivering loose and

fine materials like sand and fine aggregates shall be covered to reduce spills on

existing roads. Water will be sprayed on earthworks, temporary haulage and detour

roads on a regular basis.

During and after compaction of the sub-grade, water will be sprayed at regular

intervals to prevent dust generation. The dust emissions from the vibrating screen at

the stone quarries do not exceed the emission standards set by CPCB by providing

covered areas and adopting water sprinkling.

Occupation Stage

The residential area will have greenery and all roads shall be paved and all slopes &

embankments shall be turned as per best engineering practices.

Table: 4.1 Pollution Control Measures / Environmental Safe guards

S.No Parameters Proposed to be Installed

1. Air Exhaust and Acoustic enclosures for DG

sets

2. Water Sewage Treatment Plant

3. Noise Acoustic Enclosures for DG set

4. Solid waste Organic waste composter

4.3 Evacuation Plan Environmental Assessment (EA) is a decision-making process used to promote good

environmental planning by assessing the potential effects and benefits of certain

activities on the environment. Environmental Assessment should ensure that all

environmental effects (risks and benefits) of a proposed development plans,

programmes are identified and satisfactorily addressed.

Purpose To establish method of systematic, safe and orderly evacuation of all the occupants

in case of any emergency, in the least possible time, to a safe assembly point through

nearest safe means of escape.

Fire Escape Additionally to use available fire appliances provided for controlling or

extinguishing fire and safeguarding of human life.

In the event of fire condition or on hearing the fire alarm all the occupants of the

building shall immediately leave the work area and proceed towards nearest safe

escape route. A care should be taken before leaving the place so that the escape

route shall not be blocked.

The occupants will leave the affected area / block / building in a speedy and orderly

manner.

The emergency exit / normal exit if not affected due to fire and / or smoke shall be

used for speedy evacuation.

Efforts shall be made to control or extinguish the fire with the help of available fire

extinguishers in that area.

All occupants after being evacuated shall assemble at designate safe assembly point.

Block / building in-charge will arrange for head count to ensure that all the

occupants have been safely evacuated.

Security in-charge shall ensure that all the visitors have been evacuated as per visitor

entry register. The visitors shall evacuate from the building / block along with the

occupants and report to security in-charge.

32

The missing / suspected trapped occupants will be searched and rescued by the fire

crew.

4.3.1 Tsunami:

A tsunami is a series of waves with a long wavelength and period (time between

crests). Time between crests of the wave can vary from a few minutes to over an hour.

Tsunamis are often incorrectly called tidal waves; they have no relation to the daily

ocean tides. Tsunamis can occur at any time of day or night.

Tsunamis travel approximately at a velocity of 700 kmph in 4000 m depth of sea water.

In 10 m of water depth the velocity drops to about 36 kmph. Tsunamis range in size

from centimeters to over 30 m height. Most tsunamis are less than 3 m in height.

General Measures

Adopting integrated multi-hazard approach with emphasis on cyclone and tsunami risk

mitigation in coastal areas.

Implementation of early warning system for cyclones and tsunamis

Design, practice and implementation of evacuation plans with emphasis on self reliance

for sustenance with the locals.

Development of green belt by planting casuarinas or coconut trees along the coastline

to cover minimum of about 10m width of the proposed site.

Locations of nearest tsunami shelter, their distance and escape route from the residence

to tsunami shelters, mode of travel (preferably by bicycle or moped).

If the tsunami/cyclone is announced, then the people from the proposed resort will send

to the nearest tsunami shelter which is 0.25Kms from the Sea cost constructed during

the year 1984 with plinth area of 178.44Sq.mts at Rushikonda.

Disaster Risk Management:

The first task is to establish a Co-ordinating group.

1. The Coordinating Group should arrive at early consensus on its vision, mission and

responsibilities and establish working procedures, plans and schedules, with

allocated budgets.

33

2. The group must study and analyze the disaster hazards and risks posed to the

destination, especially those which are likely to be amplified by warmer climatic

conditions. Some of the common hazards affecting coastal tourism destinations

include tropical cyclones, ocean storm surges, coastal and inland flooding and

landslides.

4.3.2 Earthquake

Prior to any earthquake, each member should preplan and practice any steps to be taken

in the event of an earthquake.

Take cover under any sturdy piece of furniture

Stay away from windows or ceiling objects such as lighting fixtures

Do not light matches or candles

Use only battery operated flash lights and radios

Find an open area outdoors and remain until earthquake stops

Stay away from power poles, electrical lines, tall buildings, bridges, brick or block

walls, underpasses and trees

Listen to battery operated radio for instructions

Confine and secure all pets

Aftershocks may occur; be prepared

4.3.3 Floods

Flood Watch means that there is the possibility of flooding

Flood Warning means that flooding has begun or is imminent

Before a flood:

Have several escape routes planned

Monitor National Weather Service broadcasts

Prepare and maintain your Family Disaster Supplies Kit

Make sure your RV insurance is up to date

Follow instructions from first responders and/or park management

In the event of flood, you may not be able to exit Lytle Creek Canyon

34

In Case of Flood

Get prepared to leave the park

Wait for instructions from park management, fire department or sheriff’s department

Account for your family and any guests

4.4 ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN

OBJECTIVES

The basic objectives of the on-site emergency plan are to make maximum use of

available resources in shortest time. These can be described as below:

1. To identify the emergency and affecting area.

2. To disclose the type of emergency & to act accordingly.

3. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control to minimize damages

to property, life and environment.

4. Rescue & treat casualties and safe guard others.

5. Identify the personnel affected / dead, inform their relatives and provide for their

needs.

6. Ensure the safe rehabilitation and return to normally in the affected areas.

7. Provide authoritative information to the news media & others.

8. Preserve relevant records & equipments for subsequent inquiry into the causes and

circumstances which lead to the emergency.

A. Fire:

The major factor responsible for fire emergency may be due to an accidental ignition of

the inflammable materials in the storage (due to electric spark, electrostatic spark). On

large scale this may lead to an explosion under certain circumstances or even an

explosion can cause massive fire.

B. Serious Accident

Though generally, this is the result of the aforesaid emergencies, it has been kept

separately, so that serious accident not falling under any of the previous classification,

35

for example, falling from the height, serious electrical shock, working in confined

space etc.

C. Dangerous Occurrences

The dangerous occurrences, whether or not followed by personal injury or disablement,

like Collapse of building / structure etc. will be considered in this category.

STAGES OF THE PLAN

The plan consists of the actual performance of duties & responsibilities by designated

personnel and other agencies. Therefore, the plan is divided into three stages. The

stage one is pre-emergency period i.e. Normal activities before emergency or

preparedness, awareness and training parts.

While stage second explains actions during emergency period i.e. during actual

emergency period, specific duties are to be performed by using available resources &

control measures taken by various persons in systematic ways. The third stage indicates

post emergency period which describes how to preserve evidences and records for

remedial measures, safe rehabilitation and to face inquiry etc. as required by various

authorities. It also explains corrective steps from the incident and finding out the

correct reason behind the emergency, so that such type of incident will not occur again.

Level of Emergency

The level of Emergency can be classified according to the gravity of the situation at

site. The command and control will follow as per the level of emergency.

Level-I : On-site

The type of emergency, which can be handled and controlled by the management with

own resources as per On-site emergency plan, is called as On-site or Level-I.

Level-II : Mutual Aided / Local crisis

If the Level-1, is uncontrollable by the management, further help is needed, the

36

neighboring units or mutual aided local units will provide their resources to tackle the

situation. The emergency of the unit which is handled and controlled by the out side

resources, is called as Mutual Aided local crisis or Level-II. Further, if this type of

emergency is governed by Local Crisis Group then it is called as Local Crisis.

Level-III : District Crisis

Even after putting efforts as explained in Level-II, the situation becomes uncontrollable

and worst; The District Crisis Group will take over the charge & handle the emergency

situation. This is termed as Level-III or District Crisis.

Level-IV : State Crisis / National Crisis

If gravity and situation of the emergency is beyond control of Local or District Crisis

Group, The State/National Crisis Group has to command and control such crisis by

utilizing all resources from the State or Nation, as prevailing circumstances, and then it

is called as State Crisis or National Crisis.

Natural Disasters

a. Earthquake

b. Storm

c. Cyclone

d. Tsunami

2. While deciding the physical security measures, following factors are considered

50

a. Extent of danger

b. The need for secrecy

c. The presence of criminal elements

d. The economic feasibility

3. Physical security measures are divided into the following categories

c. Patrols

d. Static posts

Patrolling/Security Guards/Vehicle and Sea Patrols:

The most effective means of providing security is through patrolling by security

personnel. The greatest deterrent to a criminal is the presence of security personnel in the

area in which he intends to operate. Patrolling is done in those areas where it is not

possible to provide a static sentry post. Patrolling also covers those areas which are not so

vital as to merit a static guard.

Objectives of patrolling are:

Prevention and detection of offences against the property of the company

To ensure that proper security measures are being taken by all those who are

responsible for the security of that area.

To locate any damage to physical measures like walls fences lighting, door

locking devices, alarms etc.

To obtain information about activities detrimental to the interests of the resort.

To ensure that safety measures are being taken and safety rules are being followed

to prevent fires, accidents etc.

To create an atmosphere of alertness to show that the security force is vigilant and

effective thereby acting as a deterrent to potential criminals.

51

To prevent the outbreak of fire by maintaining constants look out in areas

vulnerable to fire.

The Duties of Security personnel deputed on patrolling:

To check the perimeter walls, fences for any damage or any signs of preparations

by criminals.

To inspect the locks and seals on the stores, ware houses and important buildings

and to ensure that no doors or window have been left open by oversight.

To keep a look out for property lying around in an unsecured place so that

concerned authorities could be informed.

To keep a look for any security hazards or breach of safety rules and bring in to

the notice of the resort security officer.

To investigate anything that does not appear to be normal.

Ensure that safety rules and traffic regulations are being properly observed.

Response to Breach of Security

1. Occasions/Situations to consider as breach of security:

a. Unauthorized personnel discovery in the resort/restricted areas.

b. Unauthorized/illegally parked/abandoned vehicle

c. Suspicious person or activity response

d. Unknown or suspicious package discovery response/bomb threat.

2. Response Procedures

For each security level, Fire service and resort security personnel shall:

a. Respond to security threats or breaches of security and maintain critical facility.

b. Evacuate the facility in case of security threats or breaches of security, if needed.

c. Report security incident

d. Brief all facility personnel on possible threats and the need for vigilance, soliciting

their assistance in reporting suspicious persons, objects or activities.

e. Secure non-critical operations in order to focus response on critical operations.

4.5 Biological Environment

4.5.1 Introduction

The term biological environment covers the prevalence of all living forms plants and

animals both terrestrial and aquatic in nearby coastal area. Living forms cover a very

wide spectrum of species and even a small area may have thousands of species if all

bacteria, protozoa, worms, insects, plants, animals and birds are to be included. In the

present study, higher taxa (trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers, sedges and grasses) and fauna

(mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) are covered for impact assessment purpose.

It is needless to emphasize that living system is extremely complicated. They are

directly affected by changes in the physical environment but may often either adapt or

avoid the adverse environment.

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 ecosystem) conditions in the study area.

4.5.2 Study area

The study area under investigation forms a coastal strip between Visakhapatnam and

Bheemili. Area is completely devoid of forest which is severely affected by natural and

anthropogenic activities resulting loss of habitat and dependant flora and fauna. The

area covered with plantations of Casuarina equisetifolia, Anacardium occidentale and

Acacia auriculiformis. The dominant trees are Borassus flabellifer and Azadirachta

indica. Some shrubs like Calotropis gigantea, Cassia auriculata, Lantana camara and

Prosopis juliflora associated with the weeds like Hyptes suaveolens, Tephrosia

purprea, and Croton bonplandianum are also growing in and surrounding areas of the

project area.

4.5.3 Terrestrial Ecology

Flora

The vegetation in the area is characterized by non-thorny vegetation growth. Trees in

the area are very sparse. Due to long anthropogenic pressures, the wild tree growth has

become almost confined to small trees. The core zone is primarily composed of fallow

field which is situated in the project boundary. Large areas of this land covered with

herbs and grasses. The most dominant species in buffer zone is Cashew plantations

56

which do not have large old growth trees but mostly regeneration in the form of

seedlings and saplings. These seedlings and saplings represent the under growth and

replace the shrubby vegetation. The list of plant species explored from both core and

buffer zones of the study area is given in the following Table 4.2.

4.5.4 Marine Ecology

Fishes, Arthropoda and Mollusca

Macro faunal communities such as crustaceans and mollusks constitute Major

components of any marine faunal assemble and play a significant role in maintaining

the steady state of the coastal ecosystem and enhance its biological productivity. To

understand the ecology of study area, plankton were collected and identified in tidal

water. Faunal species ranged from reptiles to crabs. Crustaceans, Bivalves and

Gastropods are the dominant fauna. A total of 12 fish species were identified in the

coastal area. Among the crustaceans the dominant species in the study area is

Macrophthalmus rosenbergii. All marine fauna has been given in the Table 4.4.

4.5.5 Impacts on terrestrial flora and fauna

Construction phase

Construction activity may have slight impact on flora nearby project area. Dust formed

during the construction activity will accumulate on the leaves of the plant which may

cause blocking of the stomata. Respiration activity of the plants gets affected due to

blockage in stomata. The noise generated during construction activity may have some

negative impact on birds found in the area. The impacts caused due during the

63

construction phase will be a reversible impact. Care must be taken to minimize the dust

formation due to construction activity viz. sprinkling of water, etc. Noise generated by

construction equipments will be controlled through provision of mufflers in machines

and implementation of other noise control measures.

Operational phase

The flora is sparse and there is no threatened flora and fauna found in and around the

project site. There will be no significant impact on the terrestrial flora and fauna during

the operational phase of the project. The flora and fauna found in the buffer area would

not be impacted by the project activity. However proper ferry traffic management will

further aid in reducing the noise and air pollution.

Impact on marine ecology

Marine ecosystem observed at a distance less than 0.5 km from the project site and

there is no construction activity in the seashore; hence the construction activity will not

have any impact on marine ecosystem.

Greenbelt development

The main objective of greenbelt is to provide a barrier between the source of pollution

and the surrounding area. Greenbelt around the various project appurtenances is

proposed, this will go a long way to protect environment and mitigate pollution levels

in the area. Development of plantation shall also prevent soil erosion and washing away

of the topsoil besides helping in stabilizing the functional ecosystem, make the climate

more conductive and restore water balance.

Plantation work

A 20-25m wide green belt shall be proposed on river bunds. Further, avenue plantation

will be undertaken besides the project. Extensive afforestation at project area will be

undertaken which will not only act as lung space in the area but will also improve

aesthetics. Multi-layered plantation comprising of medium height trees (7 m to 10 m)

and shrubs (5 m height) are proposed for the green belt. Moreover, in future creepers

will be planted along the boundary wall to enhance its insulation capacity.

Selection of species for greenbelt

Development of greenbelt is one of the most sensitive issues and shall be done with due

care. Selection of proper locally grown species in addition to checking of their growth

rate, quality, thickness of canopy cover, etc. shall be duly done as it helps in abatement

64

of fugitive noise, reduce the pollution level, thus making the place worth dwelling for

the diversified species flora. The plant species suitable for green belt development need

to be selected based on the flowing criteria.

Native plant species will be preferred

Fast growing plants will be planted

Plants having thick canopy cover will be used

Preferably perennial and evergreen species will be selected

Plants having large leaf area index will be considered

Road sides will be planted with local vegetations

While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts, weightage has to be

given to the natural factor of bio-climate. It is also presumed that the selected plants will be

grown as per normal horticultural or forestry practices.

Trees are important sinks for air pollutants. Trees absorb noise and by enhancing the green

cover, improve the ecology and aesthetics and affect the local micrometeorology. Trees

also have major long-term impacts on soil quality and the ground water table. By using

suitable plant species, green belts can be developed in strategic zones to provide protection

from emitted and noise.

In view of this, the list of species to be planted in the green belt area is illustrated in Table

4.6. Mixed plantation shall be done keeping optimum spacing between the saplings.
