Construction yards are used for storage of construction materials.
The excavated material such as topsoil and stones will be stacked for reuse during later stages of construction.
Excavated top soil will be stored in temporary constructed soil bank and will be for landscaping of the Commercial Project.
Remaining soil shall be utilized for refilling / road work / rising of site level at locations/ selling to outside agency for construction of roads etc.
Solid Waste Management Scheme (Construction Phase)Following the guidelines of Central Public Health and Environmental Engineering Organization (CPHEEO) manual, quantity of solid waste generated will be
500g. per capita per day for residents. Green area andgenerated has been considered @ 15 kg/acre/day).
Electrical - Demand Load 6000 KW Power Back Up - DG Sets 7570 KVA
DG Stack Height (6M Above Tallest Tower) 68.20 M 8.1 Backup Power Details
There is provision of DG set of 7570 KVA for power back up in proposed commercial/multiplex project. The DG sets will be equipped with acoustic enclosure to minimize noise generation and adequate stack height for proper dispersion.
Energy Conservation Measures: The energy conservation measures shall be adopted to minimize the demand on non- renewable resources and maximize the utilization efficiency of these resources. The benefits of Energy Conservation measures are as follows:
• Reduced Energy Consumption without sacrificing comfort levels.
• Reduced destruction of natural resources.
• Reduced air pollution.
• Reduced Pollution Loads.
• Increased user productivity.
Following Energy Conservation Measures will be adopted:
a) Energy efficient LED Lamps
b) All cables shall be derated to avoid heating during use. This also indirectly reduces losses and improves reliability.
c) Power factor shall be maintained 0.9 or higher. This will reduce electrical
power distribution losses in the installation. 9.0 Construction of Storm Water Drains
A network of storm water drainage shall be planned to collect rain water for recharge& excess rain water shall be discharged in municipal drain.
10.0 Rain Water Harvesting System The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off depends upon many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary area. Rain water will be harvested and the potential for rain water harvesting projected is given as per the Table 7. Two rain water harvesting pits at selected locations, which will harvest the maximum run-off from the area. 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.
11.0 Landscape & Shelterbelt development Total green area measures 1522 m2 i.e. 15.29% of the plot area will be under tree plantation within the plots, commercial area and along the roads. There are several trees which will be planted along the sides of the Project boundary. Trees that are to be planted in the project premises are given below in below:

12.0 Parking Facilities
Adequate provision will be made for parking at proposed commercial/multiplex. There shall also be adequate parking provisions for visitors so as not to disturb the traffic and allow smooth movement at the site.
Based on the tectonic features and records of earthquake, a Seismic Zoning map has been developed for the country by Bureau of Indian Standard (BIS). The area under study falls in Seismic Zone-IV. Suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical directions respectively, will be adopted while designing the structures. Earthquake resistant construction material will be used.
The emergency lights operated on battery power should be provided at appropriate locations – such as corridors, common area, staircase, exit and entrance doors, parking, etc. The transformers will be kept energized and should feed independently alternate rows of lights so that in case of failure of one transformer, there will not be complete darkness.
15.0 Fire Safety
� Fire Fighting Designed: As per National Building Code 2005/guideline of Dist fire department.
� Fire Tender route with access to each block
� Fire escape staircases as per NBC requirements.
� Fire Alarm system
� Sand buckets will be placed on each floor of convenient shopping.
16.0 Environmental Pollution Mitigation Measures
16.1 Air Pollution
Increased traffic generation due to project (no. of parking space proposed for the project is not going to cause significant increase in atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in heat island formation as adequate landscaping has been provided.
Mitigation Measures for Air Pollution during Construction Stage Air quality around the project site will be impacted during construction stage. Various construction activities especially related to handling of loose material are likely to generate fugitive dust that will affect the air quality of the surrounding area of the project site. To minimize such impacts following measures has been proposed:
� All the loose material either stacked or transported will be provided with suitable
covering such as tarpaulin, etc.
� Water sprinkling shall be done at the locations where dust generation is anticipated.
� To minimize the occupational health hazard, proper personal protective gears i.e. mask shall be provided to the workers who are engaged in dust generation activity.
Mitigation Measures for Air Pollution during Operational Stage Operation of DG Sets is the only source of air pollution during operational phase. Sufficient stack height will be provided for proper dispersion of pollutants. Also, it is proposed to minimize air pollution by providing plantation as buffer on the periphery of the project site and on the open spaces. An area of 1522 m2 i.e. 15.29% of plot area has been kept for plantation purposes.
The source of water pollution during construction and operation phase is due to waste water generated from toilets and washing. Mitigation Measures for Water Pollution during Operational Stage: Waste water generation and treatment and reuse are dealt in 6.1.
16.3 Noise Environment
It is envisaged that there shall be maximum movement of light motor vehicles within the project site, which will lead to some increase in noise levels. It is proposed to minimize the noise levels by providing plantation as buffer on the sides of internal roads, on the open spaces inside and around the periphery of whole complex. Proper maintenance of the internal roads will also be carried out and Informatory signboards shall be provided to encourage vehicle owners to maintain their vehicle, not to blow horns and follow the emission standards fixed by Government Authorities. DG sets will be kept in the acoustic chamber and ambient noise will be within the CPCB standard limits.
Mitigation Measures for Noise Pollution during Construction Stage During the construction stage, expected noise levels shall be in the range of 80-85 dB (A) which will decrease with increase in distance as per the Inverse Square Law. Administrative as well as engineering control of noise will be implemented. Isolation of noise generation sources and temporal differentiation of noise generating activities will ensure minimum noise at receiver’s end. To prevent any occupational hazard, ear muff / ear plug shall be given to the workers working around or operating plant and machinery emitting high noise levels. Use of such plant or machinery shall not be allowed during night hour. Careful planning of machinery operation and scheduling of operations shall be done to minimize such impact.
