2.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

2.1 Presentation of Results (Air, Noise, Water & Soil)

Baseline study of the study area was conducted during Summer Season, 2013.

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring reveals that the concentrations of PM10 & PM2.5 for all the 8

AAQM stations were found between 65.8 to 96.0 µg/m3 and 27.5 to 45.0 µg/m3 respectively.

As far as the gaseous pollutants SO2 and NO2 are concerned, the prescribed CPCB limit of 80

µg/m3 has never surpassed at any station. The concentrations of SO2 were found to be in the

range of 7.5 to 15.0 µg/m3. The concentrations of NO2 were found to be in range of 18.4 to

28.0 µg/m3.

Ambient noise levels were measured at 8 locations around the project site. During the

baseline study it was seen that in day time noise level varies from 51.8 to 57.4 Leq. dB (A) in

day time and in night time 42.3 to 49.5 Leq. dB (A). Noise levels at all locations were

observed to be within the prescribed limits.

The ground water analysis for all the 8 sampling stations shows that pH varies from 7.48 to

7.73 total hardness varies from 116.56 to 349.28 mg/l & total dissolved solids varies from

258 to 571 mg/l. Alkalinity as CaCO3 varies from 245.79 to 387.06 mg/l.

The analysis results for soil shows that soil is slightly alkaline in nature as pH value ranges

from 6.69-7.38 & is silty loam in texture. The concentration of Nitrogen has been found to be

in good amount in the soil samples.





2.2 Biological Environment

Flora: species which are most commonly found in the study area are Pipal (Ficus religiosa),

Kathber (Zizyphus xylopyra), Bargad (Ficus bengalensis), Babul (Acacia arabica), Imli

(Tamarindus indica), Dhak (Butea monosperma), etc.

Fauna: Commonly found animal in the study area are Langur (Prubytis entellus), Chuchundar

(Crosidora murria), Bagula (Ardea cineria), Kabutar (Columba livia), Green Girgit (Calotes

versicalor), etc.

2.3 Socio-Economic Environment

The population as per 2011 Census records is 482628 (for 10 km radius buffer zone).

Scheduled Caste population of the study area (10 km) is 16.93% and Scheduled Tribe is

0.14%.

Percentage of literacy is 74.04% and that of workers those actually engaged in occupation is

31.96%. Total no. of household in the area is 87379.

3.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

� Impact on Air Environment - The key air emissions from the plant activities

(loading/unloading, transportation and storage of raw materials) are Particulate Matter,

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur dioxide (SO2). Gaseous emissions are being/will

be generated from boilers and transportation of vehicles. Use of proper mitigation

measures are being/will be taken like installation of air pollution control systems, water

sprinkling during transport activities & development of green belt along the road sides

to control fugitive emissions.

� Impact on Water Environment - There is/will be minimal discharge of liquid effluent

from the plant site. All the effluent will be treated in the Effluent Treatment Plant and

the treated effluent after secondary treatment will be utilized partially in pulp mill,

green belt development, dust suppression and only surplus water after tertiary

treatment will be discharge into Dhandi Drain. Therefore, very little impact on surface

water bodies is anticipated due to discharge of treated effluents.

� Impact of Noise - During construction phase, noise will be generated from vehicle

movement for transfer of construction materials, operation of heavy equipment and

machinery like vibrators, cranes, welding machines etc. However, the impact will be of

short term duration. The plantation and the green belt around the plant boundary also

mitigate noise in the surrounding areas.





� Impact on Land Environment – No adverse impact on the surrounding land is

anticipated and no additional land will be required. It will be ensured that there would

be very little effluent discharge from the plant during operation and management will

adopt and practice best measures to minimize release of pollutants after taking control

measures outside the plant premises.
