1. ENVIRONMENTAL PARAMETER MONITORING STUDY AREA/ STUDY PERIOD

The study area for detailed studies is an area within a radius of 10 Kms. Ambient air quality monitoring were carried out at 08 locations within the study area of 10 km aerial coverage from project site as the Center. The ground water monitoring, noise level monitoring, Soil analysis were carried out at 08 location for once in the study period. The monitoring activities were carried out at 08 sampling sites for the Month of October 2015 –November 2016 - December 2016.

2. AIR ENVIRONMENT

Baseline study indicates that AAQ in the surrounding study area with respect to PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOX, and VOC are well within the stipulated permissible limits as prescribed by the latest National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standards for the respective industrial residential rural areas.

Maximum evaluated 24 hourly GLC from the ISCST-3, when added to the 98-percentile concentration of each parameter monitored during October 2016 – December 2016 season of the ambient air it indicates that due to establishment of proposed expansion project of M/s. Micro Resins Pvt. Ltd.., ambient air quality of the surrounding study area will be well within the NAAQ standards for the respective Industrial, residential rural areas. Company will use Natural Gas / LDO as a fuel. There will be no process gas emission from existing as well as proposed manufacturing activity.

It is concluded that there will be no long term impacts on the surrounding ambient air environment.

3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

The source of water for the existing project is water supplied by GIDC - Vapi. Base line data reveal that, the ground water quality is meeting with Drinking Water standards. The company proposes to use existing source of water for both domestic as well as Industrial purpose.

1. Domestic effluent@ 1.6 KLPD is discharged through Septic tank/soak pit. 2. Total 100.157 KL/day of water will be used for industrial activity & 2 KL/day of

water used for domestic activity. 3. Boiler condensate shall be recycled as boiler feed water. Softening rejection,

boiler blow down & Steam loss shall be compensating by fresh water. Softening rejection and boiler blow down shall be drain to ETP.


5. Floor/container washing shall be drain to ETP.

vii Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.



6. Thus total 94.873 KL/Day of industrial effluent will be generated, which will treat in primary, secondary & tertiary treatment plant& discharge into CETP, Vapi.

It is concluded that due to discharge of treated effluent to CETP, Vapi, there will be no significant impacts on the surrounding water environment.

4. NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Base line data indicates that noise levels in the ambient air environment are within the prescribed norms. The industry will provide adequate noise control measures such as mufflers & silencers at the air inlet/outlet, anti vibration pad for equipment with have extreme vibration etc. Ear plugs & ear muffs will be provided to the workers where noise level will remain extremely high. Thus, there will be short term, reversible impact on the noise environment due to the proposed expansion project.

5. LAND ENVIRONMENT

Air pollution, water pollution and solid waste pollute soil and causes direct/indirect effect on soil. Since all necessary air pollution control measures have been provided and based on the results of the dispersion model for the ground level concentration of various pollutants after the commissioning of the proposed expansion Project, there will not be any adverse impact of air pollution on soil. Industrial effluent will be treated into ETP and finally treated effluent will be discharged to CETP - Vapi. Therefore no impact on soil environment is anticipated. All necessary control measures will be provided for handling, storage and safe disposal of solid/hazardous waste, which will be generated from the proposed expansion project. Thus, there will not be any significant impact of solid waste on the soil Environment.

6. ECOLOGY

Impacts on terrestrial ecosystem due to the operation of plant occur mainly from air emissions. Air pollutants can impact adversely on the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem and may include injurious effects when concentration of these pollutants exceed from permissible limit. Since the proposed expansion activity will be carried out in existing unit, so, there will be no adverse impact on the ecological environment of the study area.

1.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT

PROPONENT

Environment Impact Assessment or EIA is a study to predict the effect of a proposed projection or its expansion activity on the environment. It is a management tool to facilitate appropriate decision; an EIA compares various alternatives for a project and seeks to identify the one, which represents the best combination of economic and environmental costs and benefits.

Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.

It helps to identify possible environmental effects of the proposed expansion in existing project, proposes measures to mitigate adverse effects and predicts whether there will be significant adverse environmental effects, even after the mitigation is implemented. By considering environmental effects and mitigation early in the project planning cycle, environmental assessment has many benefits, such as protection of environment, optimum utilization of resources and saves overall time and cost of the project.

On 27th January 1994, the Union Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF), Government of India, under the Environmental (Protection) Act 1986, promulgated EIA Notification making Environmental Clearance (EC) mandatory for expansion or modernization of any activity or for setting up new projects listed in Schedule of the notification and its subsequent amendments.

On 14th September 2006, a new legislation was passed, which has objectives such as “To formulate a transparent, decentralized and efficient regulatory mechanism; to incorporate necessary environmental safeguards at planning stage; to involve stakeholders in the public consultation process and to identify developmental projects based on impact potential instead of the investment criteria”

The developmental activities requiring Environmental Clearance (EC) are:

• All new projects/activities listed in Schedule;

o Expansion and modernization of existing projects or activities listed in the Schedule to this Notification with addition of capacity beyond the limits specified for the concerned sector, that is, projects or activities which cross the threshold limits given in the Schedule, after expansion or modernization;

o Any change in product - mix in an existing manufacturing unit

included in Schedule beyond the specified range.

The projects or activities shall require prior environmental clearance from the concerned regulatory authority, as the Central Government in the Ministry of Environment and Forests for matters falling under Category ‘A’ in the schedule and at State level the State Level Environment Impact Assessment Authority SEIAA) for matters falling under Category ‘B’ in the said Schedule, before any construction work, or preparation of land by the project management except for securing the land, is started on the project or activity. As per the provisions of the new re-engineered EIA Notification of 2006, the company requires to obtain prior Environmental Clearance from the State Level Environmental Appraisal Authority or from the Ministry of Environment & Forests, New Delhi as stated in the said Notification.

This expansion project falls under Synthetic organic Chemical Industry which is listed in Schedule and falls under Clause No. 5 (f) of Category “A” (as the project site is inside GIDC but Located within 10 km radius from the Union territory of Daman) of Schedule as stated in Environmental Impact Assessment Notification published on 14th September 2006.

As specified in sub paragraph (ii) of paragraph 2, of the stated Notification of the Government of India, expanded / Proposed project requires prior environmental clearance from the Ministry of Environment & Forests as, expansion project is located inside the notified industrial area but Located within 10 km radius from the Union territory of Daman [Clause No. 5 (f)] of Category “A”. For this the industry is required to submit an Environmental Impact Assessment Study report. In order to assess the Environmental Impacts arising due to the proposed expansion project, the company has appointed M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt. Ltd., Ahmedabad to undertake the Environmental Impact Assessment for various components of the Environment.

The growing demand of the various kinds of Resins based products in the domestic as well as international markets has provided a strong basis to M/s. Micro Resins Pvt. Ltd. for their proposed expansion in existing unit located at Plot. No. A-1/2002, Phase IV, GIDC Estate, Vapi, Dist: Valsad, Gujarat.

The proposed expansion project will help in the following aspects.

• To earn a substantial amount of foreign exchange through business development, manufacturer & sales of fine chemical products.

• To generate adequate employment for people in neighbouring areas. • To generate indirect employment.

1.3 OBJECTIVES OF EIA STUDY The project activities are listed in serial No. 5 (f) of the schedule of EIA

Notification, 2006 (synthetic Organic Chemical industries). Since the proposed expansion project is coming up inside the notified industrial area, but Located within 10 km radius from the Union territory of Daman. it is categorized as category ‘A’ and needs the Enviromental clearance from Ministry of Environment & Forests.

The Environmental study undertaken is aimed at identifying existing

Enviromental conditions, predicting Enviromental impacts associated with the proposed expansion in existing unit and suggesting mitigation measures to mitigate the adverse Enviromental impacts. The different activities that are likely to take place have been analyzed and proposed mitigation measures are assessed for their adequacy.

coating.




4. KETONIC RESINS:

Charge cyclo hexane none and formaldehyde through measuring tank in a reactor. Then start addition of caustic soda lye and maintain the temperature 70 to 75 0C by jacketed cooling and hold for two hours. After start cooling up to 40 to 450C Temperature and allow to settling down. Discharge bottom layer in another reactor for cooking up to the requirement melting point and upper layer is drain into ETP for Treatment




5. Ketone free Formaldehyde Resin

Reaction: - Process consists of charging formaldehyde (37%) and Cyclohexanone with a stirrer and condenser. After charging base catalyst is added and content is heated slightly. Reflux &Cooling:-This is an exothermic reaction & temperature starts rising slowly. After reaction reactors are cooled by jacket cooling & by adding water. Distillation:- After the reaction the mass is washed with DM water & then distillation is started by passing steam in reactor jacket. The water is evaporated & condensed in a receiver tank. Melting, Cooling & packing:- When the desired melting point of the resin is obtained the molten resin is discharged in trays & broken into lumps & packed in bags.

6. POLY VINYL BUTRYL RESIN:

Charge water and PVA in Reactor& prepare solution by stirring. add additives, mix for one hour then start addition of n-Butryaldehyde and allow to setting down for two hours, removing upper layer drain to ETP for treatetment.

8. Acrylic Resin & Acrylic Emulsion;

Acrylic Resins are formed by addition polymerization "Reactions.. Unlike condensation polymerization, addition polymerization leads to high mole weight polymers. There is also no release of water or other small molecules characteristic of condensation polymers. Process: Reaction: Process consists of charging DM water in the reactor and dissolving the PVA under stirring. On completion of the dissolution the contents of the reactor are heated to the desired temperature. MMA, n-BMA and acrylic acid are slowly added along with the initiator at a measured. Rate, taking care not to let the temperature rise beyond a certain required level. When the required temperature level is reached - the reactants are maintained at that temperature for the required time. Cooling & Washing: At the end of the reaction period the contents are cooled and discharged into a nutch filter and drain the water. The resin is further washed with water to free the resin of any impurities. Packing: The filtered resin is then dried and packed. Filtrate is given electrochemical oxidation Treatment followed by Biomass treatment




Phenolic Resin, Terpene Phenol Resin & Alkyl Phenol Resin Reaction: Process consists of charging formaldehyde (37%) and phenol in a reactor provided with

a stirrer system and a condenser. After competition of charging the raw materials – acid

(catalyst) is added and the contents are heated slightly.

Reflux & Cooling: This is a exothermic reaction and the temperature starts rising slowly. The water in the

formaldehyde gets evaporated and is refluxed. After reaction reactants are cooled by

jacket cooling.

Distillation: At the end of the reaction, the condenser is set for distillation and the contents of the

reactor are heated by passing steam in the reactor jacket. The water is evaporated and

condensed and collected in a receiver tank.

Melting, Cooling & Packing: When the desired melting point of the resin is obtained the molten resin is discharged in

trays. When the molten mass cools down – the resin is broken into lumps and packed in

bags.




9. PU Resins

Chemical Reaction.




10. Oil based polyester Polyols

This product is prepared by mixing different polyols e.g. Glycerol, Trimethyle propanol, ketonic resin polyols or others in castor oil. Castor oil which is a fatty acid containing hydroxyl groups is taken and mixed with different polyols to impart required properties to the oil based polyol. This is just a mixing operation and does not involve any reaction.




11. POLY AMIDE RESINS

Estrification: Basically this is Estrification reaction between a dimmer acid and di-amine resulting in the formation of polyester and water of reaction Process consists of charging all the raw materials in a stirred reaction vessel fitted with a condenser. Heating & Distillation: The content of the reaction vessel is heated and after about couple of hours the acid value and the amine values are checked at periodic intervals till the required acid value and amine value is achieved. The water of reaction is distilled at the high reaction temperature and · condensed in the condenser. The distillate consists mainly of water and traces of impurities which is sent to ETP Cooling & Packing·: The molten resin is poured in trays and allowed to cool. After cooling and solidification of the resin, it is broken into lumps and packed in bags.

12. Maleic Resin

Gum Rosin, Fumeric acid and Penta erythritol are charged into a reaction kettle and reacted at elevated temperature. Reaction consists of formation of adduct and estrification to form the Maleic resin. The small quantity of water of reaction contains about 80 % turpentine + 20% water is taken into separate SS separation tank for turpentine recovery. Allow to separate it. Bottom layer of water is removed and drain to ETP and balance turpentine is collected & sold as a by product.

2.19 Fugitive Emission Control:

Fugitive emission could occur from the storage yard of raw materials and finished products. The storage quantity is low since only 6 days inventory will be maintained at site and proper handling methods will be adopted. Emissions from transport of vehicles would occur to a certain extent. The emissions from traffic movements will be controlled by proper planning of the transport of raw materials and finished products to and fro from the factory premises. All the roads inside the plant will be concreted to reduce any dust emissions. Proper planning and maintenance will control the extent of fugitive emissions. During the production, the industry will carry out regular monitoring of fugitive emissions as per the factories act. Measures taken for fugitive emission control:

• Proper storage of raw materials, products and fuels.

• Ensuring closed feeding and sampling.

They will also develop plantation as per the MoEF guidelines all along the periphery of plant so that these trees perform as natural barrier and bring down the fugitive emission and stop carryover of dust along with wind current.




2.30 SCHEME FOR RAIN WATER HARVESTING

DESIGN OF RAINWATER HARVESTING: For good design of rainwater harvesting, following points are to be kept under

consideration:

(a) Ideal location with good ground slope.

(b) The location has adequate subsurface permeability of the aquifer to

accommodate maximum recharge of rainwater through injection well.

(c) Rate of filtration should exceed average rainfall intensity.

(d) Clogging of filtration media should be cleaned periodically.

(e) Ground water pollution does not take place.

ROOFTOP RAIN WATER HARVESTING: Total rooftop area of project is 997.33 m2 that may be connected through pipes

and drains to Rainwater harvesting structures which has storage chamber and

the percolation pits as per sites having rooms for recharge in resonance with

average rainfall, catchment area and peak rainfall intensity.

Looking in to the average rainfall in this region, roof top area of the building, rain

water harvesting structures are designed in such a way that even at peak rainfall

intensity of 40 mm/day, water does not spill over & the entire rainwater falling

over the total area goes in to the ground water body. Following dimensional

parameters are considered for design of Rainwater harvesting system in the

project premises.




Total Rooftop area = 1183 m2

Average rainfall = 2149 mm = 2.15 m

Catchment factor for Roof top = 0.85 (as per C.G.W.A)

Total volume of water to be captured = 1183 x 2.15 x 0.85 = 2161.93 m3

The dimension of the structures to be designed for 40 mm/hour peak rainfall

intensity. Considering 15 minutes of peak rainfall, runoff volume in a single

storm should be:

(1183 m2 x 0.85 x 0.04 m)/4 = 10.055 m3

ROAD/PAVED AREA STORM WATER RUNOFF HARVESTING:

In road storm water harvesting system, drains may be made along the roads

with iron net filter of 2 mm opening at every 20 m. Rainwater falling on the

road/paved area is carried through these drains to rainwater harvesting

structure and allow to in filtered in groundwater regime. This will improve

groundwater quality as well as quantity in and around the project premises.

Following dimensional parameters are considered for design of road storm

water harvesting system in the project premises.

Total Road/paved area = 300m2

Average rainfall = 2149 mm = 2.15 m

Catchment factor for Road/paved area = 0.75 (as per C.G.W.B.)

Total volume of water to be captured = 300 x 2.15 x 0.75 = 483.75m3/annum

The dimension of the structures to be designed for 40 mm/hour peak rainfall

intensity. Considering 15 minutes of peak rainfall, runoff volume in a single

storm should be:




300 m2 x 0.75 x 0.04 m/4 = 2.25m3

OPEN AREA RAINWATER HARVESTING: The total open area of project is 1391m2 which may be connected through drains to

rainwater harvesting structures which has storage chamber and the percolation pits

as per sites having rooms for recharge in resonance with average rainfall, catchment area and peak rainfall intensity.

Following dimensional parameters are considered for design of open area rainwater harvesting system in the project premises.

Total open area = 1219m2 Average rainfall = 2149 mm = 2.15 m Catchment factor for open area = 0.15 (as per C.G.W.A) Total volume of water to be captured = 1219* 2.15 x 0.15 = 393.12 m3 The dimension of the structures to be designed for 40 mm/hour peak rainfall intensity. Considering 15 minutes of peak rainfall, runoff volume in a single storm should be: 1219 m2 x 0.15 x 0.04 m/4 = 1.82 m3 DESIGN OF RAINWATER HARVESTING STRUCTURE: The total volume of water generated in project premises from rooftop, road/paved & open area in a single storm on 40 mm peak rainfall intensity would be

= 10.055 m3 + 2.25 m3 + 1.82 m3 = 14.125 m3

Considering the space availability, we will propose percolated pond to collection rain

water in the sufficient side.

114




TOTAL RECHARGE POTENTIAL On completion of Rainwater harvesting& other recharge factors, additional recharge potential in the premises would be as under: 1. Rooftop Rainwater harvesting in the premises

1183*0.85*2.15 = 2161.93

2. Road storm water harvesting in the premises

300*2.15*0.75 = 483.75

3. Recharge due to open area in the premises

1219*2.15*0.15 = 393.12

4. Recharge due to return flow of water used in plantation

4*365*.05 = 73

Total 3111.81 (Note - formula =area * run-off coefficients* rain fall {mm/1000}) The recharge potential to be created by artificial measures will be 3111.81m3/annum

which would help in maintaining groundwater regime in terms of quantity & quality.

2.31 Solvent Recovery System: The distillation is a process where because of the difference in the boiling point the recovery of the solvent will be recovered. The solvent recovery plant has been provided for the recovery of the various solvent used in different products. The solvent is recovered and reused back in the manufacturing process.

3.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT 3.4.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY (AAQ) IN THE STUDY AREA

The collection of base line information for Air Environment includes identification of specific air pollutants being released into the atmosphere having significant impact on neighborhood. The Ambient Air Quality status, with respect to the identified air pollutants, has been studied at eight major locations. This has been done through Air Quality surveillance program and based on TOR.

The back-ground air quality for PM10, PM2.5, Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), CO, HC including VOCs was monitored. The monitoring for these parameters has been done at sites located in different directions and situated within the suspected impact zone, in and around the existing project site. We had considered minimum one monitoring station in the upwind direction and minimum one monitoring station in the pre dominant downwind direction at a location where maximum ground level concentration is likely to occur.

3.4.1.1 THE LOCATION OF AAQ STATIONS The locations of the AAQ stations are based on prevailing meteorology,

pollution source and available infrastructure facilities. One station has been particulary set-up in down wind direction.

Thus, monitoring has been done at Eight sampling stations located in different directions and situated within the suspected impact zone in and around the existing project site.

3.5 METEOROLOGY

Meteorological conditions, of the site, regulates the transport and diffusion of air-pollutants released into the atmosphere. Ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction and atmospheric stability are called primary or basic Meteorological Parameters because the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these Parameters. Humidity, precipitation, pressure and visibility are secondary Meteorological Parameters as this control the dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by affecting primary Parameters.

3.6 Baseline Data

Meteorological data were obtained from meteorological station kept by Laga System at Vapi Station for the parameters namely ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction, relative humidity for the period October, November and December 2016. The Wind Rose diagram for the month of October – November December December 2016. is shown in Figure No. 3.4.

3.6.1 Ambient Temperature

The monthly variations of monthly highest and monthly lowest temperatures recorded are as follows:

Location – Project site Temperature, oC

October 2016 November 2016

December 2016

Maximum 35 35 34 Minimum 24 18 15

3.6.2 Wind Speed

Wind speed determines the rate of diffusion and travel time of air pollutants. The results of monitoring are as follows:

Location – Project Site Wind Velocity, Km/hr

October 2016 November 2016

December 2016

Maximum 5.9 6.2 6..6 Minimum 2.1 0.5 1.6

3.6.3 Wind Direction

This is important in air pollution since it determines the direction of transport of air pollutants. The mean wind direction will be indicative of the direction of travel of the pollutants. The data for the same is shown in Table No. 3.6.

3.9 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Water is the most vital resource for all kinds of life. It should not only be available in sufficient quantity but should be of good quality as well. Defilement of water, as a result of human activities, industrial activities and consequent pollution of water, cause deterioration of the water environment.

3.9.1 BASELINE DATA COLLECTION GW & SW

Physico-chemical Parameters have been used for assessing the base line quality of ground water environment and identification of impacts due to the expansion in existing project. The Samples, under all categories, were analysed for various Parameters specified by the Department of Environment. For the collection, preservation and analysis, APHA/IS methods were followed. The requisite Procedures, laid down in APHA/IS methods, were adopted for preserving the Samples with suitable preservative chemicals. The Samples were analysed within the time limits prescribed for each Parameter.

The monitoring has been done at eight sampling stations located in different

directions and situated within the suspected impact zone in and around the project site. The ground water quality is presented in Table No. 3.11 The ground water quality in is acceptable as per IS: 10500 for domestic water supply.

3.11 TYPE OF SOILS

Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth's crust that serves as a natural medium for the growth of plants wherein root zone develops. It is the unconsolidated mineral matter that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic and environmental factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients for plants and crops and also provide mechanical anchorage and favourable tilts. Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc. These are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by which essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Regional Soil Types

G.I.D.C. Vapi is located in Pardi tehsil is the core chemical based industries hub in the district. Soils are Deep black with few patches of coastal alluvial, laterite and medium black soils in the district as well as in project site. Soil Classification Based upon the works of Soil Survey Organization of State Government, the soils of the district have been classified into four major group such as i) Bilimora – Bedmal Series of hilly area ii) Baldha – Vadhawania Series of piedmont slope area, iii) Ena - Jalalpur – Sisodra Series in the midland and flood plain areas of the district and iv) Jal – AH – Dandi Series of soil along the coastal region.

3.11.1 CHARACTERISTICS OF SOILS BASE LINE DATA

The soil samples were collected from different places in the study area. The soil samples are taken from eight villages.

At each sampling site, the samples were collected at random at a depth of 15 cms and mixed together to form a composite sample. Large stones, gravels and plant roots were removed from soil. The soil was then crushed and water suspension was prepared. The supernatant liquid was then subjected to Physico-Chemical analysis. Standard Procedures were followed for analysis.

3.12 LAND USE PATTERN Remote Sensing is a process of identification and demarcation of various

earths’ objects from a distance without directly coming into contact with them.

Remote sensing is largely concerned with the measurement of

electromagnetic radiation from the sun, which is reflected, scattered, and

emitted by the objects on the surface of the earth. Different objects on the

surface of the earth reflect different amounts of the electromagnetic spectrum.

The potential of remote sensing in natural resources mapping basically

depends on spatial, radiometric and temporal resolution of the sensor. Thus

the satellite remote sensing with its capability of repetitive coverage, multi-

spectral imaging, synoptic view and low cost can play an important role in the

delineation of various landuse landcover classes.

Land cover is a fundamental parameter describing the Earth’s surface. This

parameter is a considerable variable that impacts on and links many parts of

the human and physical environments. Remote sensing technique has ability

to represent of land cover categories by means of classification process. With

the availability of multispectral remotely sensed data in digital form and the

developments in digital processing, remote sensing supplies a new

prospective for landuse/landcover analysis. Geographical Information Systems

have already been used for assessing environmental problems, since they

provides a flexible environment and a powerful tool for the manipulation and

analysis of spatial information for land cover feature identification and the

maps of all variables were combined to extract information to better

understand analyzing. Satellite remote sensing, in conjunction with geographic

information systems, has been widely applied and been recognized as a

powerful and effective tool in analyzing land cover/use categories This study

made use of remotely sensed data and GIS technologies; to evaluate

qualitatively and quantitatively outcome of part of land cover/use distribution.

Obtained results were compared, visualized and analyzed, in Geographic

Information System.

The Study Area up to 10 kms radius from the existing project Site comprises of

63 villages of Valsad District.The locations of these villages are shown in

Figure No. 3.1.

The important land uses, as classified by the Census Records, are the Forest,

Land irrigated by different water sources, un-irrigated areas, Cultivable waste

land and areas not available for cultivation.

Landuse and landcover distribution in the study area has been estimated using

the satellite imagery of generated from Landsat ETM+ scene of October 2006

(Refer: Figure 3.8). The landuse and landcover pattern of the study area (10

km radial zone) has been studied by the same. The land use distribution in the

Cropping Pattern In Valsad District, food and non-food crop grown can be grouped under two main heads Kharif and Rabi. The Kharif or the rain crops are sown in June-July and harvested in October-November. The Rabi or irrigated crops are sown in September-October and harvested in February-March. The main Kharif crops in the district are Paddy, Ragi and sugarcane while Indian bean and Niger are the important Rabi crops. The horticulture crops grown in district are fruits (Mango, Sapota (Chiku), Banana, Cashew nut, coconut), vegetables (okra, tomato, Brinjal, Bottle gourd), medicinal and aromatic crops, plantation crops, fodder crops, grasses, etc.

3.13 HYDROGEOLOGY

Hydrology is the science that deals with the depletion and replenishment of water resources. It deals with surface as well as ground water. The water below the water table is known as ground water and water above the water table is known as soil moisture. The water table map and water quality map of study area is attached as a Figure No. 3.10& 3.11

In Hydro geological studies, Observations were made about geology and types of aquifers, surface water bodies, drainage pattern, yields, quality and representative hydraulic parameters governing the ground water regime of the area. The Auranga, Par, Kolak, Daman Ganga and Kalu river forms main drainage basin in Valsad district. All the rivers originate in the eastern highland and flow towards west direction to the Arabian Sea. The project area forms a small and distal part of catchment of Damanganga river system. Damanganga River originates near Peth in Nasik district of Maharashtra and flows perennially towards northwest to meet the Arabian Sea at an approximate distance of 18 km from the Project Site. The Damanganga River stream is at a distance of 4.00 km from the Project Site. River Kolak, another small perennial river originates at the Saputara hills and located about 2.72 km from the Project Site. High flood lines of both rivers are within few meters of the river banks; the Project Site is too far away to be effected by high floods in both the rivers. Apart from the two mentioned rivers there is no surface drainage of significance in close neighborhood.

Deccan trap basalt occupies a major part of the district and forms the most

important aquifer system. It generally forms a poor aquifer due to compactness

and poor primary porosity. However, the upper weathered parts, which at places

are up to 15-20m thick, form good aquifer. At deeper level s, the secondary

porosity developed as a result of tectonic activities, in the form of joints, and

fractures, shear zones, form repository of groundwater at many places. Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.

170



Amygdaloidal horizons within basalt also form potential aquifers at places. The

dykes, both basaltic and dolerite, play an important role in occurrence and

movement of groundwater. At places, the dykes are highly weathered and

themselves form potential aquifers. At other places where the dykes are more

compact, they act as subsurface barrier for the groundwater flow and well

constructed upstream of these dykes have yield good yields. The groundwater in

basalt occurs under phreatic to confined conditions. The groundwater is mainly

tapped by dug wells varying in depth from 5 to 50m. wells. About 90% of the

dugwells have 2 to 3 side borewells, Each side bore wells range between 50 and

100 feet in length. These side bore wells, enhance the yield of the dugwells to

greater extentas they act as conduct. The yield of dug wells and dug-cum-bored

wells in basalt generally range from 100 to 500 m3/day. During Rabi (post

monsoon) season these wells sustain intermittent pumping of 15 minutes to 12

hours, however, during summer, the yield of these wells is considerably

diminished. The vesicular & amygdaloidal horizons within basalt at places may

have yields of up to 1000 m3/day. The dykes occurring in the district themselves

form aquifers at places where they are highly fractured. The wells in such dykes

range in depth from 5 to 25 m and the yield of wells range between 15 and

600m3/day.

3.14 ECOLOGY

Collection of comprehensive baseline information on flora and fauna

is a prerequisite for assessment of impacts of any developmental

activities The biological environment is an important component of the

environment of any area. It covers flora & fauna in the region, details

of forests and wildlife sanctuaries in the region, with list of endangered

species. These components are addressed in details in the following

sections:

Flora and fauna are important components of the environment. They

are organized into natural communities with natural dependencies

among their members and show various responses and sensitivities

to anthropogenic activities. Flora and fauna describes information on

various species of trees, plants, shrubs, crops and natural vegetation,

animal, birds etc. and endangered species.

. Though, the need of collecting ecological data is many fold more. In

the context of present study, where the time was a serious constraint

for seasonal data collection on different ecological parameters, the

focus was, therefore, on to collect data on current status of plants and

animals as baseline information for future comparisons. Following

methodology was adopted in order to collect scientific data.

We attempted to create baseline information through 1) review of

literature, 2) consultation and 2) first hand data collection through field

surveys.

Field Surveys

In order to get the first hand information on the project and

surrounding ecological status, field surveys were conducted. The field

surveys were conducted to assess baseline status of flora and fauna

between October – December 2016.


175



Sampling Strategy

For assessment of flora and fauna, study team randomly sampled in

10.0 km radius of the project site. We collected the data on flora and

fauna in each sample plot of 10X10 mtr quadrate. Total 30 quadrates

were laid in the study area in order to rapidly study the fauna and flora

of the region.

No national paik / Wildlife Sanctuary / Reserve Forest cover was

found in 10 Km radius of the project area. A detailed survey report

with the methodology and study is as given in the following section.

The surrounding area particularly in the 10.0 Km periphery of the

project unit area is dominated with irrigated agriculture farms, roads,

canal, and villages etc. The details of some major landuses are

described below.




Flora of the Study Area: The study area has been marked as 10 Km radial distance from the proposed site which is located at Vapi industrial Estate, Valsad, Gujarat. The site is located in industrial area and the expansion will be done on existing land hence vegetation clearing and destruction is not anticipated for this proposed project. The landuse around the immediate vicinity of the project site is mainly comprises of industrial and commercial setup. The rest of the area is characterized by the large area devoted for the cultivation of Mango and Chikhu orchards. Very few portion of the available landscape is devoted for the other agricultural crops. The other vegetation cover represented by commonly found trees, herbs and shrubs. The study area is also characterized by large number of road side ditches and pools which were occupied by many hydrophytes. Daman Ganga River is passing through the southern boundary of the study area. The vegetation in study area is dominated by Mangifera indica (Keri), Anacardium occidentale (Kaju), Acacia auriculiformis (Austrianbaval), Bombax ceiba (Shimalo), Phoenix sylvestris (Khajur), Tamarindus indicum (Emli), Azadirachta indica (Limbado), Borassus flabellifer L.

3.17 Socio-Economic Survey The study was carried out with a participatory approach by involving the

stakeholders, particularly the project beneficiaries and probable affected persons through a series of consultative process. The population groups that were consulted include beneficiary group of people in the project influence area, particularly the Shopkeepers, Farmers, School Teachers, Gram Panchayat Sarpanch/Members and Village Leaders etc. This has helped to know the exact situation and views of the people about the project.

Out of total 57 villages coming in the study area, 10 villages survey during primary data collection.

Proportionate and purposive sampling methods were used for selecting respondents (male and female) for household survey. For official information of village, Sarpanch/Gram Panchayat member/Govt. school teachers were chosen. Structured questionnaire was used for survey. For group discussion, Panchayat Bhavan, AanganwadiBhavan, Community Halls were used by the survey team. Photographs showing interaction/discussion with the various groups.

Sampling Method A judgmental and purposive sampling method was used for choosing

respondents of various sections of the society i.e. Sarpanch, adult males and females,

teachers, medical practitioners, businesspersons, agriculture laborers, fishermen,

unemployed group etc. Judgmental and purposive sampling method includes the right

cases from the total population that helps to fulfill the purpose of research needs.

Data Collection Method Data collection is a term used to describe a process of preparing and

collecting data, for example, as part of a process improvement or similar project. The

purpose of data collection is to obtain information to keep on record, to make decisions

about important issues, to pass information on to others. Primarily, data are collected

to provide information regarding a specific topic. Data collection usually takes place

early on in an improvement project, and is often formalized through a data collection

plan which often contains the following activity.

• Pre collection activity — agree on goals, target data, definitions, methods

• Collection — data collection

• Present Findings — usually involves some form of sorting analysis and/or

presentation

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Process_improvement

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Data_collection_plan





Main types of data collection include census, sample survey, and administrative by-

product and each with their respective advantages and disadvantage.

Interview Method Interview is verbal questioning. Surveys are also conducted through interviews.

Interviews consist of asking questions, listening to individuals and recording their

responses. At times, you may find it more profitable to ask questions to a few

individuals instead of carrying out a large-scale questionnaire based survey. The

interview can be done very informally, e.g. as conversations with people met in the

fields, co-operative stores or block offices. In these settings, one question leads to the

next based on. The responses given to the previous one. At the other end of the scale,

highly structured interviews often rely on questionnaires or interview schedules with

mostly closed-ended questions that allow the respondents only a limited range of

possible answers. Structured interview method is used to collect data regarding the

awareness and opinion from the sample selected of the various socio- economic

sections of the community. The questionnaire mainly highlights the parameters of

primary needs.

The interview method has the advantage that almost all perfect sample of

the general population can be reached and respond to the approach. Interview method

helps to collect more correct and accurate information as the interviewer is present

during the field survey.

Socio-economic survey was conducted in 8 villages within the study area

located in all directions with reference to the project site.

The respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the project

and their opinion about the impacts of the project, which is an important aspect of

socio-economic environment, viz. job opportunities, education, health care,

transportation facility and economic status.Villages surveyed are given in Table 3.21.

Interaction with different village Sarpanch/Society Heads/ villagers was done to understand the socio-economic issues of the region and their needs.

3.18 Quality of Life Assessment Quality of life (QoL) is a term, which indicates overall status of socio-

economic environment in a given area. Quality of life (QoL) is defined as a function between “objective conditions” and “subjective attitudes” involving a defined “area” of concern.

The “objective conditions” are defined as numerically measurable artifacts of a physical, sociological event or economic event. Objective conditions may be defined as any number, which stands for a given quantity of a variable of interest so long as it is independent of subjective opinion.

Subjective attitude” is primarily concerned with affective and cognitive dimensions. It is specifically concerned with ‘how aspects of cognition vary as objective conditions vary’.

Once objective measures are obtained for each factor they are transformed to a normal scale varying from 0 to 1 (value function curve) in which 0 corresponds to the lowest or least satisfactory measure, and 1 corresponds to the highest. The weights are assigned to each factor by ranked-pair wise technique (by the expert group) based on the secondary data and general observations.

For each objective measure, a corresponding subjective measure is developed for each individual of the sample population by asking him to rate his satisfaction scale (value function curve). It is used such that 0 corresponds to the lowest level of attitudinal satisfaction and 1 corresponds to the highest level of satisfaction. Weights are assigned to each factor using ranked - pair wise comparison techniques.

The Socio-economic Indicators for QoL Assessment are:

1 Income 2 Employment and

Working Condition 3 Housing 4 Food 5 Clothing 6 Water Supply 7 Sanitation 8 Health

9 Energy 10 Transportation 11 Communication 12 Education 13 Environment and Pollution 14 Recreation 15 Social Security 16 Human Rights

Subjective, objective and cumulative quality of life is estimated as :

SubjectiveQuality of Life Index




QoLs = 1/p ∑∑==

p

j

m

i 11QIij x Wi

Where,

QoLs = Subjective quality of life index

p = No. of respondents, j = 1, ......, p

m = No. of factors, i = 1, ......, m

QIij = Subjective quality index for ith factor assigned by jth respondent

∑Qiij = Subjective quality index for ith factor assigned by all respondents in an area

Wi = Relative weightage of the ith factor

Objective Quality of Life Index

QoLo = ∑=

Where,

QoLo = Objective quality of life index n = No. of QoL Factors i = 1, ......, n QIi = Satisfaction level (assigned by the expert group)

for the ith objective indicator Wi = Normalized weight for ith factor Cumulative Quality of Life Index

The average QoL index values are estimated as:

QoL (S) = 0.58

QoL (O) = 0.62

QoL (C) = 0.55

The average QoL index value for the study area is leaning towards satisfactory level due to good economic status like income, employment, educational facilities, medical

facility and also availability of basic needs, viz. food, clothing, and housing. The area was lacking in employment opportunities, social security and sanitation facilities.

Impact assessment

The project is for expansion; in this phase employment generation will bring economic development in the study area. Direct indirect job opportunities will be available for the surrounding villagers. Business development will also develop the study area. Expansion activities will be in existing premises only, there is no need of extra infrastructural activities due to proper linkage of transportation activities. No labour camp will be construct for the project purpose.

Proper measures will be taken for reduce air pollution in the surrounding villages, therefore no negative impact will affect the villagers.


219



CHAPTER 4 ENVIROMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an activity or an attempt to identify, predict, evaluate and communicate the likely environmental impacts of the expansion in existing project on the surrounding environment. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDY INCLUDES: • Identification of all the probable impacts (be it positive or negative) of the various

activities involved in the completion of the project. • Classification of the probable impacts i.e. positive or negative, reversible or

irreversible, short term or long term.

• Evaluation of the probable impacts i.e. qualitative and quantitative assessment of the likely impacts.

• Communication to the general public, interested parties, controlling authorities

(Government or Municipality) through a Public Hearing process, revealing all the probable impacts, which are likely to occur due to the expansion in existing project, on the environment. It also includes the mitigation measures of those impacts, which are inevitable. This chapter presents the identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts with mitigation measures of the expansion in existing project of M/s. Micro Resins Pvt. Ltd. effected in the baseline environmental status.

4.1 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION

Considering that identification of significant environmental impact is essential in the preparation of EIA report, an attempt has been made here through the use of “Activity Effect” Matrix.

4.1.1 IDENTIFICATION MATRIX

The impact identification matrix is shown in the Table No. 4.1. For simplicity the entire project has been divided into two phases:

1. Construction Phase

2. Operation Phase


220



Various activities belonging to each phase have been grouped separately and arranged in Columns. The environmental Factor or Parameter, which are anticipated to be impacted, has been arranged in Rows. A preliminary scrutiny has been done and the cells, which fall at the junction of the ‘Activity’ and ‘Factor’, that have possible interaction with each other, have been ‘marked’. The matrix thus establishes the possible ‘cause-effect’ relationship and identifies the environmental factors likely to be impacted and activities responsible for the same. The impact identified may be positive and negative, short term and long term, reversible and irreversible, minor and major. This determination will be done at prediction stage.

4.1.1.1 Construction Phase

Unit needs to do construction activity for installation of additional plant machineries. The various activities involved in construction phase of a proposed expansion project are listed below:

• Construction / foundation. • Erection/Installations of equipment and machinery • Transportation • Material handling • Employment of labour • Green belt development

4.1.1.2 Operational Phase

The activities involved in the operation phase of the expansion in existing project are listed below: • Raw material handling and Storage • Product Manufacturing • Utility Consumption • Product Handling & Storage • Effluent Generation • Gaseous Emissions • Hazardous Waste Generation • Employment • Green belt development

4.2 IMPACT PREDICTION AND ASSESSMENT WITH

MITIGATIVE MEASURES:

This section is devoted to the prediction and assessment of impacts, which are the most important components of EIA. Such predictions are superimposed over the base-line status of the environmental quality to derive the ultimate environmental scenario. Prediction involves determination of the nature and extent of the probable impacts due to the expansion in existing project. Here it is determined, whether the likely environmental impacts are: 1. Positive or Negative 2. Long term or Short term Prediction of impacts during the construction and operational phase is as Shown in Table No 4.2. Based on Environmental Impact Analysis, the Environmental Impacts under this step are quantitatively and qualitatively assessed. Quantitative assessment with the help of a mathematical model has been done wherever possible. In other cases, the impact assessment has been qualitative which is based on available scientific knowledge and judgment. The mathematical model used for prediction in the present study includes “Industrial Source Complex Short Term Dispersion” model for ambient air quality. For other cases i.e. Water, Noise, Land/Soil, Ecology, Socioeconomic etc., the available scientific knowledge and judgments have been used.


226



4.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT 4.3.1 Construction Phase

The impacts during construction phase will be short-term impacts as they will be limited to the period of construction. Unit has to do Construction activity / foundation work for installation of additional plant machineries. These activities may result in temporary increase in SPM levels, primarily, in the working environment. Following mitigative measures during construction phase have been planned

Impacts Mitigation Measures

Dust • Green belt development and water sprinkling will be carried out during the construction phase for suppression of dust.

Air Pollution • Vehicles and machinery will be regularly maintained

so that ambient air quality confirms to National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

Hence, the impacts on ambient air quality during construction phase will be marginal temporarily and reversible in nature (for short duration) and restricted to small plant area only.

4.3.2 Operation Phase

Generally, the operational activities are expected to have long-term negligible impacts on the air quality. The operational activity from expansion in existing project is expected to have long term impact on the air quality. Major sources of air pollutants are existing and proposed flue gas stack.

Generally, the operational activities are expected to have long-term impacts on the air quality. Major source of air pollutant is flue gases generated from the existing Thermic Fluid heater and proposed 02 Nos. of steam boiler. There will be no process gas emission from the unit.

All the suitable precautionary measures will be taken for the control of fugitive emissions.


227



Based on the above stated facts, predictions related to the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) have taken into account the flue gas emissions from the Existing TFH stack, Proposed 02 Steam Boiler stacks. The concentration of pollutants at the ground level has been computed using computer model to assess the impact of source emissions from the existing stack which is already installed. Air quality impact assessment is an important study; Mathematical modeling is an established and accepted technique to predict the air quality.

In this study, impact on environment due to the expansion in existing plant has been assessed with the help of Mathematical modeling following the Central Pollution Control Boards Guidelines. The mathematical model used for conducting the study is the latest version of Industrial Source Complex. Model developed by the Environment Protection Agency of United States (ISC-3, 1996), which is entirely in line with the requirements of Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi. A mathematical model developed by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) is used for calculating GLCs. This is based, on the original Gaussian Plume Model equation but is defined in terms related to atmospheric phenomenon. The model used for assessment is an Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST–3) Dispersion Model. The average and maximum Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) have been determined for SPM, SO2 and NOx. The average 24hrs. concentrations have been determined in polar grid of 100 up to 3600 for a distance of 500m, 1000 m, 2000 m, 3000m, 5000m, 7000m, and 10000 m. has been calculated based on the micro-meteorological data collected from the Laga system for Vapi station. The Dispersion modeling assumptions are considered as follows:

1. The receptor locations for 36 wind directions starting with 10 degrees

and incrementing with 10 degrees for radial distances viz. 50m, 100m, 200m, 300m, 500m, 1000m, 2000m, 3000m and 5000m has been taken for the Air Quality Modeling.

2. The impacts of the pollutants were identified up to 5000 meters. 3. The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT. 4. Stability Class was evaluated based on Temperature Profile and Cloud

Cover. 5. The mathematical equations used for the dispersion modeling assumes

that the earth surface acts as a perfect reflector of plume and physic-chemical process, such as dry and wet deposition, and chemical transformation of pollutants are negligible.

6. The micro-meteorological data viz. Temperature, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and Cloud Cover has been collected from the meteorological station of Laga System.


228



4.4 MATHEMATICAL MODEL FOR POLLUTANTS DISPERSION

In the present case ISC-3 (Industrial Source Complex) model has been used to assess the air impacts. This ISC model for stack uses the steady state Gaussian plume equation for a continuous elevated source. The features of this model are:

♦ Simulates dispersion from single/multi/area/line/volume sources.

♦ Allows calculations to be made at a user specified regular rectangular

grids.

♦ Provides estimates of concentrations for any averaging time period for the entire period of input meteorology.

♦ Allows calculations to be underwriters for source group as selected by the uses.

♦ Uses the Briggs dispersion curves as selected by the user, to derive the plume spread parameters.

♦ Adjust dispersion curves to account for user specified information on aerodynamic roughness.

♦ Adjust for wind speed variation with height, using user specified default urban/rural power. Co-efficient.

♦ Simulâtes dispersion from buoyant non buoyant Point sources, non buoyant area, non buoyant volume sources and non buoyant line sources.

♦ User Brigg’s plume rise algorithm to calculate plume height.

For a steady-state Gaussian plume, the hourly concentration at downwind distance x (meters) and crosswind distance y (meters) is given by:


229



QKVD X (x,y,z) = ------------------ exp [-0.5 (y/2 σy)2 ] ...................Equation 1.1 2 p u σyσz

Where: X = Concentration of pollutant at a point (x, y); (g/m3) Q = Source strength (Pollutant Release Rate); (g/s) u = Horizontal wind speed at the source level; (m/s) σy&σz = Vertical & Horizontal crosswind dispersion coefficients

respectively, which are a function of downwind distance 'x' and atmospheric stability; (m)

K = a scaling coefficient to convert calculated concentrations to desired units (default value of 1 x 106 for Q in g/sec and concentration in µg/m3)

V = Vertical Term, which includes the effects of source elevation, receptor elevation, plume rise, limited mixing in the vertical, and the gravitational settling and dry deposition of particulate (with diameter greater than 0.1 microns)

D = Decay Term

The ISC model uses either a Polar or a Cartesian receptor network. In this case Polar receptor network has been used.

4.4.1 VERTICAL TERM

The Vertical of the Gaussian plume. It includes the effects of source elevation, receptor elevation, plume rise, limited mixing in the vertical, and the gravitational settling and dry deposition of particulates. In addition to the plume height, receptor height and mixing height, the computation of the Vertical Term requires the vertical dispersion parameter (σz). The Vertical Term without Dry Deposition In general, the effects on ambient concentrations of gravitational settling and dry deposition can be neglected for gaseous pollutants and small particulates (less than about 0.1 microns in diameter). The Vertical Term without deposition effects is then given by:

V = exp[ -0.5((zr- he)/σz )2 ] + exp [-0.5((zr+ he)/σz )2 ] +

Σ∞i = 1 { exp[-0.5(H1 / σz )2 ] + exp[ -0.5(H2 / σz )2 ] +

exp[ -0.5(H3 / σz )2 ] + exp [-0.5(H4 / σz )2 ] }..................Equation 1-2


230



where: he = hs+ δh hs = stack height (mt) δh = Plume rise (mt) zr = receptor height above ground (flagpole) (mt) zi = mixing height (mt) H1 = zr - (2izi - he ) H2 = zr + (2izi - he ) H3 = zr - (2izi + he ) H4 = zr + (2izi + he )

The infinite series term in Equation 1- accounts for the effects of the restriction on vertical plume growth at the top of the mixing layer. The method of image sources is used to account for multiple reflections of the plume from the ground surface and at the top of the mixed layer. It should be noted that, if the effective stack height he, exceeds the mixing height, zi, the plume is assumed to fully penetrate the elevated inversion and the ground-level concentration is set equal to zero.

Equation 1-2 assumes that the mixing height in rural and urban areas is known for all stability categories. The meteorological preprocessor program uses mixing heights derived from twice-daily mixing heights calculated using the Holzworth procedures. The ISC models currently assume unlimited vertical mixing under stable conditions, and therefore delete the infinite series term in Equation 1-2 for the E and F stability categories. The Vertical Term defined by Equation1-2 changes the form of the vertical concentration distribution from Gaussian to rectangular (i.e., a uniform concentration within the surface mixing layer) at long downwind distances. Consequently, in order to reduce computational time without a loss of accuracy, Equation 1-2 is changed to the form: V = √ 2πσz /zi ...................................................Equation 1- 3 at downwind distances where the σz/zi ratio is greater than or equal to 1.6. The meteorological preprocessor program, RAMMET, used by the ISC Short Term model uses an interpolation scheme to assign hourly rural and urban mixing heights on the basis of the early morning and afternoon mixing heights calculated using the Holzworth procedures. The interpolation procedures are functions of the stability category for the hour before sunrise. Because of the uncertainties about the applicability of Holzworth mixing heights during periods of E and F stability, the ISC models ignore the interpolated mixing heights for E and F stability, and treat such cases as having unlimited vertical mixing.


231



4.4.2 THE DECAY TERN (D)

The Decay Term in Equation 1-1 is a simple method of accounting for pollutant removal by physical or chemical processes. It is of the form: D = exp(-Ψ x/us) for Ψ> 0.........................................Equation 1-4 or = 1 for Ψ = 0 where: Ψ = the decay coefficient (sec-1) ( a value of zero means decay is not

considered) x = downwind distance (m) For example, if T1/2 is the pollutant half life in seconds, the user can obtain Ψ from the relationship: Ψ = 0.693/T1/2...............................................................................................Equation 1-5 The default value of Ψ is zero. That is, decay is not considered in the model calculations unless Ψ is specified. However, a decay half life of 4 hours ( Ψ = 0.0000481 sec-1) is automatically assigned for SO2 when modeled in the urban mode.

4.4.3 WIND SPEED AT STACK HEIGHT

The wind power law is used to adjust the observed wind speed, uref, from a reference measurement height, zref, to the stack or release height, hs. The stack height wind speed, us, is used in the Gaussian plume equation (Equation 1-1), and in the plume rise formulas. The power law equation is of the form:

us = uref (hs/zref)p ..................................................Equation 1-6

232



4.4.4 EFFECTIVE STACK HEIGHT

The effective stack, height, he to be used in Gaussian equation is given. He = Hs + Hpr Where, Hpr. = Plume rise due to thermal and momentum factors. He = Effective stack height (m) Hs = Physical stack height (m) In the present case plums rise has been calculated by Brigg’s formula (1975). The details of this equation are given below.

239



4.7 Assessment of Impact on Air Quality

Base line study reveals that the levels of various pollutants like PM, SO2 and NOx etc., in the ambient air of surrounding study area are well within the limits stipulated by National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standard for Residential, Rural and other areas. It can be seen from Table No. 4.7 that the maximum predicted 24 hours GLC(s) of all the pollutants i.e., PM, SO2 and NOx, and its incremental concentrations on baseline value is below the NAAQS. Thus, it can be concluded that, with proposed emissions from the Plant, the Ambient Air Quality within the industrial premises as well as in the surrounding study area will not exceed the NAAQ standards and hence there is no significant adverse impact on Ambient Air Quality.

4.8.1 Construction Phase

Impact on water quality during construction phase / foundation work will be marginal and confined to use of water by workers only. The sewage generated will be treated in the septic tank & soak pit. Micro Resins Pvt. Ltd. will take all reasonable precautions for wastewater seepage. This will prevent soil contamination.


Water Consumption: Total 100.157 m3 /day of water will be used for industrial activity & 2.0 m3/ day of water used for domestic activity.


1. Domestic effluent@ 1.6 KLPD is discharged through Septic tank/soak pit. 2. Total 100.157 KL/day of water will be used for industrial activity & 2 KL/day

of water used for domestic activity. 3. Boiler condensate shall be recycled as boiler feed water. Softening

rejection, boiler blow down & Steam loss shall be compensating by fresh water. Softening rejection and boiler blow down shall be drain to ETP.


5. Floor/container washing shall be drain to ETP. 6. Thus total 94.873 KL/Day of industrial effluent will be generated, which will

treat in primary, secondary & tertiary treatment plant& discharge into CETP, Vapi.

Thus, it can be concluded that negligible impact on surrounding water environment is caused. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly adhered as mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 6, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.


246



Impacts Mitigation Measures

Effluent Treatment

The Industrial wastewater generated

94.873 KL/Day will be treated in Effluent

treatment plant having primary,

secondary & Tertiary treatment unit. Treated effluent will be discharged to

CETP, Vapi after obtaining prescribed

norms.

Impact on ground water quality:

• Ground water was tested at six different locations in

the study area. The ground water norms were

compared to IS: 10500 (1991) for evaluation.

• Unit will send their treated effluent to CETP, Vapi.

So, due to proposed expansion project there will be

no any impact on ground water quality.

4.9 NOISE ENVIRONMENT 4.9.1 Construction Phase

There will be slightly increase in noise level during construction phase due to erection and installation of machinery. But it is restricted to construction phase only and it will occur during day time, when construction activities will be in progress.


As per observations, the Ambient Noise Level is within norms of Industrial Area. With the implementation of the mitigation measures proposed, the noise levels at plant boundaries will be well below the limits specified for industrial areas.

The major sources contributing to Noise pollution during the plant operation will be Compressor, Boiler, Pumps, etc. The operation of the equipment will generate noise ranging between 70-80 dB (A). The occasional noise will be attenuated by the development of green belt in


247



and around the industry, which will be taken up right from the construction phase. Also ear protecting devices will be provided for personnel working in high noise generating zone. Thus, there is practically no impact on surrounding environment.

4.10 LAND ENVIRONMENT

4.10.1 Construction Phase

In existing unit needs to do Excavation for expansion activity. Unit will do construction activity for foundation work as well as Proposed Effluent Treatment Plant. Hence there will be minor impact on the surrounding soil environment and there will be no change in Land Use Pattern.


Source emission, wastewater and hazardous waste generation from any project activity affects the soil environment. The impact due to air causes direct/indirect effect on soil. The emissions of SPM during operation will be effectively controlled. There will be practically no effect on the soil quality due to air emissions. The sewage generated will be gone in the septic tank & soak pit. Micro Resins Pvt Ltd. will take all reasonable precautions for wastewater seepage. Wastewater generated from the Industrial activity will be treated in Effluent Treatment Plant and treated effluent will be send to CETP, Vapi after obtaining prescribed norms and ETP waste will be disposed to TSDF site. As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2003, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated will be taken for the proposed expansion project. Hence, due to the proposed expansion project the, land use pattern; land cover and topography of the area will be changed only for the project premises.

4.11 ECOLOGY

4.11.1 Construction Phase Any construction activity brings changes in some components of the local Terrestrial ecosystem. These adverse impacts are restricted to the project Construction site and to some extent it's immediate surroundings.


248




Impacts on terrestrial ecosystem can occur due to operation of the any industrial project mainly from air emissions, liquid effluents as well as hazardous wastes generation, which can interfere with the biotic and abiotic components of the ecosystem and may induce injurious effects when concentrations exceed permissible standards. The proposed expansion project will be carried out on land within M/s. Micro Resins Pvt Ltd. without cutting of any trees. The proposed project does not alter the crop pattern and natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Due to the safe control technology of air pollutants, liquid effluents and hazardous wastes disposal, no impact on the surrounding ecology is anticipated. Development of additional greenbelt/green area will improve the ecological Environment of the surrounding areas.

4.12 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Like any other project, the proposed expansion project is also expected to have certain positive and negative impacts on socio-economic environment.

4.128.1 Construction Phase Local people involved as contract laborers will have benefits of getting employment. Proposed expansion project will generate temporary employment for personnel during operational phase.

4.12.2. Operation Phase

The proposed expansion project will generate direct employment for additional to the existing employment for persons. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment. Implementation of this plant will also reduce production loss due to shortage of power. Thus, the expansion project will have significant positive impacts on the employment pattern of the study area.


249



4.13 HEALTH AND SAFETY 4.13.1 Construction Phase

Health problems are also likely to be experienced in the area as a result of Immigrant labour being careless about personal hygiene and also mosquito and fly-borne infections usually prevalent in the rural areas. Such Problems will be minimized by provision of adequate sanitary and health services.

4.13.2 Operational Phase

The impact on health and safety hazard is due to Fire. The company will provide sufficient fire fighting system. Therefore, no adverse impact is anticipated.

4.14 TRAFFIC STUDY & ITS IMPACT

Traffic study is important to calculate the existing and proposed load on the existing Road due to expansion in existing Project. There is only one main junction nearby the existing project i.e. M.s. Micro Resins Pvt Ltd. Traffic counts were collected at one concerned transport route (1) Road from Micro Industries Pvt Ltd. to National Highway on 11/12/2016 . Details regarding the traffic survey are: • Traffic counts were collected and recorded in 4 hours intervals. • Morning period (pick hours) survey was carried out from 8:00 to 12:00

hrs. • Evening period (pick hours) survey was carried out from 16:00 to 20:00

hrs. Traffic counts observed during the above survey are tabulated in Table 4.5


250



Table No.: 4.5

Traffic Study

Based on the above mentioned traffic study given in above Table, hourly vehicular traffic has been calculated. Considering worst case scenario, average number of vehicles observed during 4 hours has been taken as hourly counts. Passenger Car Unit (PCU) has been calculated by applying PCU factor. Proposed load of trucks due to the movement of raw materials, fuel and products has been calculated. Design capacities of both the routes have been taken from the Indian Road Code. Assessment of proposed traffic load is described in Table 4.6

CHAPTER 6

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.1 INTRODUCTION

Any industrial development is associated with certain positive impacts as well as some negative impacts on the environment. However, the negative or adverse impacts cannot possibly rule out scientific development. At the same time, adverse impacts cannot be neglected.

An Environmental Management Plan has been formulated for mitigation of the adverse impacts and is based on the present environmental conditions and the environmental impact appraisal. This plan helps in formulating, implementing and in monitoring the environmental parameters during and after commissioning of the project.

The Environmental Management Plan describes, in brief, the management's plan for proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for air and liquid pollutants and for maintaining the environment. It also includes development of green belts around the Plant, proper safety of the workers, noise control, fire protection systems and measures. This chapter provides mitigation and control measures to attenuate or eliminate environmental impacts, which are likely to be caused by the proposed expansion project. An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been developed to mitigate the potential adverse impacts and to strengthen the beneficial environmental impacts as well as to create positive environmental footprints during the construction and operation phases. The institutional capacity of Micro Resins Pvt. Ltd. as the owner & facility developer and the reporting requirement to fully implement the mitigation measures have also been described in this chapter. In addition to that during the operation phase, the company will have an additional responsibility to comply with the statutory requirements as per the guidelines of Central/ State Government.

6.2 The EMP

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) consists of a set of mitigation, monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during the design, construction and operation (post construction) stages of the project. The plan also includes the actions needed for implementation of these measures. Overall objective of EMP:

• Prevention: Measures aimed at impeding the occurrence of negative

environmental impacts and/or preventing such an occurrence having harmful environmental impacts.




• Preservation: Preventing any future actions that might adversely affect an environmental resource or attribute.

• Minimization: Limiting or reducing the degree, extent, magnitude, or duration of adverse impacts.

The major components of the Environmental Management Plan are:

• Mitigation of potentially adverse impacts. • Monitoring during project implementation and operation. • Implementation schedule and environmental cost estimates. • Integration of EMP with project planning, design, construction and operation. The EMP has been designed keeping in view the regulatory and other requirements to ensure the following:

• Minimum disturbance to the native flora and fauna. • Compliance with the air, water, soil and noise quality norms. • Conservation of water to the extent possible. • Encourage the socio-economic development.

6.3 OBJECTIVES OF EMP

The main objectives in formulating this environmental management plan are:

To treat all the pollutants viz., liquid and gaseous which contribute to the degradation of the environment, with appropriate technology.

To comply with all regulations stipulated by the Central / State Pollution Control Boards related to air emissions and liquid effluents discharges as per air and water pollution control laws.

To handle hazardous wastes as per the Hazardous Waste (Management and Handling Rules, 1989 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986

To encourage support and conduct developmental work for the purpose of achieving environmental standards and to improve the methods of environmental management.

To promote further afforestation in the surrounding areas of the Plant To create good working conditions (devoid of air and noise pollution) for

employees To reduce fire and accident hazards. Perspective budgeting and allocation of funds for environment management

expenditure. Dissemination of technological solutions on Commercial basis to interested

parties and Continuous Development and search for innovative technologies for a cleaner and better environment.




6.4 BRIEF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

6.10 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT AND AFFORESTATION

Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures which control the Air Pollution. It also causes aesthetic and climatologically improvements of an area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere.

It is a well established fact that trees and vegetation act as a vast natural sink for the gaseous as well as particulate air pollutants due to enormous surface area of leaves. Plantation around the air pollution sources controls the air pollution by filtering particulate matter and interacting with gaseous pollutants before it reaches the earth. Tree plantation also acts as buffers and absorbers against accidental release of pollutants.

6.11 SELECTION OF TREES

The choice of trees species, suitable for plantation at the Industry Site, has been governed by the following guiding factors:

1. As per guidelines issued by Ministry of environment & Forests for greenbelt

development. 2. As per the study carried out by our FAE in Ecological & Biodiversity.

3. The tree must be tolerant to all the pollutants present in the area. 4. The tree should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the areas, be

evergreen, in habitat, having minimum of leaf fall. 5. The tree must be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large and

spreading canopy in the primary and secondary attenuation zones. 6. The tree should possess extensive foliar area to provide maximum impinge

surface for continued efficient adsorption and absorption of pollutants. 7. The tree should be fast growing and indigenous. 8. The tree should maintain ecological, land and hydrological balance of the

region.

The Total Plot area of our unit is 2702.00 Sq. Meter. From that Plot Area used for Manufacturing of Existing Product is 529 Sq. meter and Plot Area to be used for Proposed Expansion activity will be 1504 Sq. meter. Total green belt Area will be 550 Sq. meter. They will also do Plantation in GIDC Estate after obtaining Permission from GIDC, Vapi.

They have ~ developed 50 trees in our existing premises as well as around the premises. We will develop additional 100 Trees in and around our premises.


278



.

The program will consists of following elements:

• Maintenance of greenbelt and vegetative zones within the plant where

possible. • Plantation of trees and vegetation around the plant. • Maintenance of greenbelt around plant. • Maintenance of greenbelt both side nearby roads. • To provide tree guards to local villagers. • The tree species selected for the plantation will be pollutant tolerant, fast growing,

wing firm, deep rooted, and ever green. The company will select pollutant tolerant plant species.

• They will also develop plantation as per the MoEF guidelines all along the periphery of plant so that these trees perform as natural barrier and bring down the fugitive emission and stop carryover of dust along with wind current.

Budgetary expenditure for the greenbelt development has been depicted in the Table No. 6.1

TABLE 6.1 BUDGETARY EXPENDITURE FOR GBD

Based on the demand of nutrients by soil the fertilizer input shall be given. These trees will be planted in about different rows. The interspaces will be planted with grasses, bushes and hedges. Choosing native plant species which suits to local environmental conditions will be encouraging (percentage survival) and also for sustainable ecosystem development. Plants with flowering will give good aesthetic look. 1 meter width will be kept for tree plantation around the project boundaries. The plant species for green belt is given below in Table- 6.2

6.13 CONCEPT OF WASTE MINIMIZATION, RECYCLE / REUSE /

RECOVER TECHNIQUES, ENERGY CONSERVATION AND NATURAL RESOURCES CONSERVATION.

WASTE MINIMIZATION, RECYCLE / REUSE / RECOVER TECHNIQUES: Unit shall to do moping in their unit instead of washing of water.

Unit should try to minimize the excess raw material in batch, so it will reduces the

unreacted raw material in effluent generation. Ultimately, it will reduce the

concentration of effluent.

We shall provide fix pipeline in their unit to minimize the leakages.

ENERGY CONSERVATION: Energy Conservation and Energy Efficiency are separate, but related concepts. Energy conservation is achieved when growth of energy consumption is reduced, measured in physical terms. Energy Conservation can, therefore, be the result of several processes or developments, such as productivity increase or technological progress. On the other hand Energy efficiency is achieved when energy intensity in a specific product, process or area of production or consumption is reduced without affecting output, consumption or comfort levels. Promotion of energy efficiency will contribute to energy conservation and is therefore an integral part of energy conservation promotional policies. Energy efficiency is often viewed as a resource option like coal, oil or natural gas. It provides additional economic value by preserving the resource base and reducing pollution. For example, replacing traditional light bulbs with Compact Fluorescent Lamps (CFLs) means you will use only 1/4th of the energy to light a room. Pollution levels also reduce by the same amount nature sets some basic limits on how efficiently energy can be used, but in most cases our products and manufacturing processes are still a long way from operating at this theoretical limit. Very simply, energy efficiency means using less energy to perform the same function. Inadequate control of steam supply wastes energy. So, we will investigate the

possibility of installing automatic controls. Monitoring drying operations enables energy consumption to be assessed and

possibly reduced. Monitor parameters by us Heat losses from dryers by radiation and convection will be minimized. And we will

improve the insulation of dryers to save energy costs.

Routine cleaning and maintenance programme for the combustion system will improve efficiency and reduce energy costs.


282



.

Investigate the possibility of changing any upstream processes in order to decrease

the water content before drying operations. Relatively minor modifications of upstream operating procedures may significantly reduce energy costs.

We will check, if it is possible to use heat recovered from the dryer exhausts in the drying process.

Waste Heat Recovery System Understanding the process is essential for development of Waste Heat Recovery system. This can be accomplished by reviewing the process flow sheets, layout diagrams, piping isometrics, electrical and instrumentation cable ducting etc. Detail review of these documents will help us in identifying: a) Sources and uses of waste heat b) Upset conditions occurring in the plant due to heat recovery c) Availability of space d) Any other constraint, such as dew point occurring in an equipments etc. After identifying source of waste heat and the possible use of it, our next step is to select suitable heat recovery system and equipments to recover and utilize the same. Economic Evaluation of Waste Heat Recovery System It is necessary to evaluate the selected waste heat recovery system for our unit on the basis of financial analysis such as investment, depreciation, payback period, rate of return etc. In addition the advice of experienced consultants and suppliers must be obtained for rational decision. Natural Resources Conservation: Renewable energy is energy obtained from sources that are essentially inexhaustible. Examples of renewable resources include wind power, solar power, geothermal energy, tidal power and hydroelectric power. The most important feature of renewable energy is that it can be harnessed without the release of harmful pollutants. Non-renewable energy is the conventional fossil fuels such as coal, oil and gas, which are likely to deplete with time. Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.

Promoting awareness amongst the employees and the neighborhood population for adopting environmentally friendly acceptable procedures and restricting environmental degradation and pollution to the barest minimum

6.17 INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES TO THE LABOURS DURING

CONSTRUCTION PHASE: During the construction period, there will be increase in floating population. The project will provide temporary employment of skilled and highly skilled manpower. Most of the people will be employees of contractors/sub-contractors. Additional strain on civic amenities like road, transport, communication, drinking water, sanitation and other facilities will take place, to meet the work force requirement. During the construction phase there will be increased demand of services, as most of the employees deployed during the construction period will be from local area. These include hotels, lodges, public transport (including taxis), etc. There will also be ample opportunities for providing these services. In addition to the opportunity of getting employment as construction laborers, the local population would also have employment opportunities in related service activities like petty commercial establishments, small contracts/sub-contracts and supply of construction materials for buildings and ancillary infrastructures etc. Consequently, this may lead to economic upliftment of the area. The movement of work force to and from the place of work and the movement of vehicles carrying equipment and construction material is expected to increase the stress on the local transport and road network. However, considering the number of people deployed, the impact on road/traffic is marginal and temporary. Consumer Prices: Usually the local population will be affected by inflationary trend sometime later, when prices of local services and produce, egg, fish, vegetables, milk, etc. start rising. This will happen only when a sizeable staff of the project and other associate companies settle permanently in the area. However any such rise in consumer prices is anticipated because the influx of population due to the project activities is minimal. Transport and Civil Construction: The transport companies would benefit from the construction of the plant. Services: The services like retail shops, banks, and automobile workshops; health care, etc. will expand in and near the plant. Employment: Large-scale influx of material and money tend to increase the employment opportunities. Transport: Transport services on the connecting road will improve further. Traffic: The plant construction phase will also see a moderate increase in traffic. Prepared By M/s. Bhagwati Enviro Care Pvt Ltd.

7.3 ONSITE & OFFSITE DISASTER PREPARDNESS & EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN OF THE INDUSTRY

Risk leads to disasters & disasters have great impact on the prof itabi l ity, stabil ity & reputat ion of an industry. Disaster occurs when a hazard or a threat rises in vulnerable condit ion and the trend ref lects an increase in both. To uphold righteous image of an organization, Disaster Management is of prime importance. For tackling the major consequences inside the port and in the vicinity of port DMP has to be formulated and this planned emergency document is cal led ‘DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN’. Indian industry of late has begun to be aware of the necessity to apply more systematic approaches to safety part icularly in plant design. Primari ly, safety in the design of plant extends to the applicat ion of various codes of pract ice or design codes, which are based on the wide experience and knowledge of professional experts and specialists in the industry. Such applicat ion is backed by the experience of local plant managers and engineers who have been involved in similar plants and who have direct experience in their operation over a number of years. The main objective of evolving this emergency and disaster control plan is to create a procedure and infrastructure based on combined resources of the factory and the outside services with a view to minimize emergencies and disaster. This may arise as a result of usage, handling and storage of certain toxic, corrosive, inf lammable and explosive materials used in the manufacturing process and any other emergencies which may direct ly or indirect ly affect the employees, property and local community. Objectives are further classified as under:

• Rescue operation and treatment of persons affected by the emergency.

• Safeguard of other persons not affected by the emergency.

• Keep the damage to property and environment at a minimum level.

• Init ially contain the impact of incident and ult imately bring the incident under control.

• Provide authentic information to outsiders and media.

• Rehabil itat ion of affected person.

• Preservation of relevant records.


293



• Inquiry into the cause of emergency situat ions and then analysis to

prevent recurrence.

PURPOSE OF PLAN:

• To save lives and injuries,

• To prevent or reduce property losses,

• For protect ion of environment,

• For protect ion of instal lation & restoration of production,

• To provide help for quick continuation of normal situat ion or operat ion.

More specif ically the elements that will form the backbone of the emergency preparedness organizat ion are: o Availabil ity organizat ion and ut i l ization of resources for facil ity

emergencies. o Accident evaluation procedures. o The command, coordination and responsible organization structure. o Notif icat ion and communication mechanism. o Training exercises and plans maintenance. Emergencies and disasters can happen at any moment - and, they usually occur without warning. When an emergency str ikes, immediate safety and prompt recovery are depends on the exist ing levels of preparedness among workers and management. Emergency incidents that may occur, including • Earthquakes • Fires or Explosions • Hazardous Materials Releases • Extended Power or Uti l i ty Outages • Floods • Mass Casualty Events As discussed in earl ier chapters, emergencies are classif ied as minor or major, according to their severity and potential impact. The Disaster management of any f irm mainly covers steps l ike PREPAREDNESS, RESPONSE and RECOVERY


294



PREPAREDNESS is a f irst step to assemble appropriate human and physical resources before any emergency occurs, So the industry shall have a designated an “Emergency Coordinator” with the management experience and f inancial authority to deal with the Disaster plan. The person shall arrange related staff safety education and training; Purchase department emergency supplies and equipment and give quick response on occurrence of any emergency- disaster. The company wil l have the following essentials in an accessible location:

• First aid supplies, with instruct ions

• Flashlights/batteries, approved power str ips and extension cords, emergency power supply

• Portable AM/FM radios/batteries

• Laboratory spi l l kits

• Portable emergency water supply

• Eyeglasses, medications and personnel protective measures

• Personal’s emergency contact numbers. The company wil l be in direct contact with the offsite Disaster plan of Distr ict Disaster Management authority. The important telephone numbers including Protective Services i.e Fire station, Hospital, Police department, factory inspector etc. shall be made readily available and in updated forms. A brief onsite emergency plan shall be readily available to all.

FIRE PREVENTION The fire accident may take place because of the electrical spark or static electricity. All the precautionary measures will be taken by the industry to prevent fire in any part of the plant as per the followings: • The company will identify the sources of accidents.

• Adequate fire extinguishers is provided and additional will be provided as

per requirement.

• Mechanical rooms or utility rooms will not be used for storage.

• All the chemicals will be stored with recommendation storage and handling practice.

• Storage and process area will be posted with “No Smoking” signs.


295



• All the Personnel Protective equipment will be easily available to all the

workers.

• The company will provide firewater reservoir, fixed water monitors/foam monitor, foam trolley, sand bucket, eye wash shower, flame arrester and fire extinguisher to prevent from any causalities.

LABORATORY SAFETY & PREPAREDNESS The company will maintain clean work environment; post laboratory safety work rules, train all personnel; carry out inventory and label chemicals; not purchasing excess quantities of chemicals; segregates incompatible chemicals; keeps flammables in flammable storage cabinets with copies of Material Safety Data Sheets; installs seismic restraints on chemical storage tanks and reactors and disposed off chemical waste properly. In case of occurrence of disaster, the company gives training to all workers and personnel to react as under: MINOR release in the laboratory. • Follow laboratory eyewash, rinse or shower procedures • Flush affected area continuously for 15 minutes • Vacate persons in immediate area if necessary • Clean spill • Wear protective equipment • Use appropriate kit to contain, neutralize and absorb • Collect, containerize, and label waste MAJOR release in the industry and vicinity area • Report factory name, location, phone number, the material spilled, possible

injuries to concerned department for emergency help and measures. • Assist injured persons. • Isolate contaminated persons and area. • Avoid contamination or chemical exposure further. • Close doors or control access to spill site MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEETS As part of quality for Hazard Communication Standard, all company is required to have Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS) available to al l employees working with hazardous chemicals. The concept is “that employees have both a need and a r ight to know the hazards and identit ies of the chemicals they are exposed to when working. They also need to


296



know what protect ive measures are available to prevent adverse effects from occurring.” Information that can be found in a MSDS includes: • The ident ity of the chemical substance • Physical and chemical character ist ics • Physical and health hazards • Primary routes of entry • Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs) • Carcinogenic status • Precaut ions for safe handl ing and use ( including personal protect ive

equipment) • Spi l l response • Emergency and f irst aid procedures • Date of the MSDS • Although not required, it is highly recommended for the company to

maintain a f i le of MSDS sheets for all of the chemicals used in lab/work area. A central f i le is maintained at the of f ice.

ON SITE EMERGENCY PLAN Emergency Response Room (Safety officer room) The place identified as Emergency Response Center will be considered as the Security Gate Office. The location of the Emergency Response Center may change in future as per convenience. The facilities available at the Emergency Response Center shall include:

1. Internal Telephone 2. External Telephone 3. Manual Fire/Emergency Siren 4. Siren Actuation Switch 5. Important Address and Telephone Numbers 6. Emergency Vehicles 7. Confined Space Entry Procedure 8. List of Antidote/actions to be taken in case of hazardous chemical/materials. 9. Material Safety Data Sheets of chemicals 10. A copy of On-Site Disaster Management Plan

All communications after General Shift working hours and on Sundays/ Holidays are to be routed through the Security Gate Office. General Rules:

1. Follow sense of discipline and do not pain. 2. Do not rush and endanger your personnel safety


297



3. Use personnel protective equipment according to the situation 4. Do not block any passages, which may hinder the movement of emergency

vehicles. 5. In case you have to shut down your plant operation, do it in an orderly manner as

per standard operating procedures. 6. In situation when you have to leave your work and evacuate to identify places out

of operating areas, do it in an orderly manner. 7. Follow instructions of the Safety officer. 8. Understand the Disaster Management Plan well and take interest in practice mock

drill. An emergency in the premises has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of lives or extensive damage to the property and/or environment and serious disruption both inside and outside the plant. In such cases sometimes outside agencies are required to call for help in handling the situation. The causative factors like plant/equipment failure, human error, earth quake, sabotage etc. will normally manifest in various forms viz. Fire, Explosion, Toxic release, structure collapse etc. This OEP lays down the code of conduct of all personnel in the Plants and the procedures to be adopted by them in the event of an "Emergency". These procedures have been prepared taking into account the minimum strength of manpower available at all times in the premises. The individuals under the direction of the respective Team Leaders shall carry out the responsibilities assigned. The emergency procedures outlined are suitable for round the clock coverage including holidays. These emergency procedures shall be followed as outlined in the OEP during general shifts as well. OBJECTIVES: The overall objectives of OEP are:

• To control the situation and if possible eliminate as quickly as possible. • To avoid confusion/panic and to attend the emergency with clear-cut line of action. • To minimize the loss of property to the plant as well as to our neighbourhood. • To safe guard the non-affected areas. • To alert the neighbourhood. • To arrange head-count and rescue operations. • Treatment of the injured. • To safeguard others by timely evacuation. • To prevent any cascade of emergencies.

EMERGENCY: An emergency is the situation, which has potential to cause a large-scale damage or destruction to life or property or Environment or combination of these within or outside the


298



factory. Therefore it is essential to have a laid down procedure to meet emergency systematically. In any industry, emergency can arise at any moment and this depends on the type of: • Structure • Raw materials • Machines • Nearby Industries • Location of the Industry etc. NATURE OF EMERGENCY: The "Emergency" specified in this plan will refer to occurrence of one or more of the following natural/manmade events. • Earthquakes • Fires or Explosions • Hazardous Materials Releases • Extended Power or Uti l i ty Outages • Floods • Mass Casualty Events MEDICAL HELP: First Aid Boxes have been provided at various strategic locations. Requisite number employees are trained about First Aid, Liaison with nearest hospitals. COMMUNICATION SYSTEM:

• Alarm Rising for Emergency by blowing the sirens installed • The siren will be used for raising the emergency alarm and also for all clear

signals. • Emergency Siren: The wailing alarm will be sounded intermittently at fixed interval

of 30 seconds for a period of two minutes in case of emergency, such alarm will signify the employees that an emergency has occurred and that the emergency services should be put into operation.

• Incident Controller after assessing the situation will declare that emergency is over. Till the Incident Controller issues the declaration, all the leaders will adhere to the task and be present at the prescribed location.

• All clear signal will be sounded through continuous siren for 1 minute. Even after the emergency is over a skeleton staff of the Rescue/Evacuation Team will be available at the site of emergency for at least 30 minutes to ensure that the situation is absolutely free from danger.

• After the emergency is over, all the team leaders should meet at the Emergency Control Center and each team leader should submit a report to the Incident Controller about team performance and other details observed.


299



• In addition to the above systems, Internal telephones, P.A.System, Mobile telephones, Computer System etc. will be used for communication.

• If situation is beyond the control, the external agencies will be informed accordingly and asked for the help. Direct telephone, cell phone or messengers / runners may achieve this.

ASSEMBLY POINT: In case of emergency some locations are considered as Assembly Points. Depending on the wind direction and location of emergency, Assembly Point will be declared. The employees should run across the wind direction and not against the wind direction. Depending upon the location of the emergency the Incident Controller will fix the Assembly Point and Officer will announce the location of the Assembly Point. Employee’s attendance, visitors and contractors workmen register will be made available at the Assembly Point for head count. Emergency control centre: Factory Manager Office will be declared as an Emergency control centre. Emergency control centre is facilities with:

I. Address and Telephone numbers of the Factory Inspectorate, Gujarat Pollution Control Board, Police, Fire Brigade, Hospitals and OEP Team Members

fighting. o Mobilize with necessary tools and tackles to handle any repair work on an

emergency basis.


302



OFFSITE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN The task of preparing the Offsite Emergency Plan lies with the District Collector; however the offsite plan will be prepared with the help of the local district authorities. The proposed plan will be based on the following guidelines. Introduction

o Offsite emergency plan would follow the onsite emergency plan. When the consequences of an emergency situation go beyond the plant boundaries, it becomes an offsite emergency.

o Offsite emergency is essentially the responsibility of the public administration. However, the plant management will provide the public administration with the technical information relating to the nature, quantum and probable consequences on the neighbouring population.

o The offsite plan in detail will be based on those events, which are most likely to

occur, but other less likely events, which have severe consequence, will also be considered. Incidents which have very severe consequences yet have a small probability of occurrence would also be considered during the preparation of the plan.

o However, the key feature of a good offsite emergency plan is flexibility in its

application to emergencies other than those specifically included in the formation of the plan.

o The roles of the various parties who will be involved in the implementation of an

offsite plan are described below. Depending on local arrangements, the responsibility for the offsite plan would either rest with the plant management or with the local authority.

o Either way, the plan would identify an emergency coordinating officer, who would

take the overall command of the offsite activities. As with the onsite plan, an emergency control centre would be setup within which the emergency coordinating officer can operate.

o An early decision will be required in many cases on the advice to be given to

people living o "Within range" of the accident - in particular whether they should be evacuated or

told to go indoors. In the latter case, the decision can regularly be reviewed in the event of an escalation of the incident.

o Consideration of evacuation may include the following factors: In the case of a

major fire. Only houses close to the fire are likely to need evacuation, although a severe smoke hazard may require this to be reviewed periodically; and if a fire is escalating and in turn threatening a store of hazardous material, it might be necessary to evacuate people nearby, but only if there is time; if insufficient time exists, people should be advised to stay indoors and shield them from the fire.


303



o This later case particularly applies if the installation at risk could produce a fireball with very severe thermal radiation effects.

Aspects Proposed to be considered in the Offsite Emergency Plan The main aspects, which should be included in the emergency plan, are: Organization Detail of command structure, warning systems, and implementation procedures, emergency control centres. Names and appointments of incident controller, site main controller, their deputies and other key personnel. Communications Identification of personnel involved, communication centre, call signs, network, list of telephone numbers. Specialized Knowledge Details of specialist bodies, firms and people upon whom it may be necessary to call e.g. those with specialized fuel knowledge, laboratories. Voluntary Organizations Details of organizers, telephone numbers, resources etc Fuel Information Details of the hazardous substances stored and a summary of the risk associated with them. Meteorological Information Arrangements for obtaining details of weather forecasts and weather conditions prevailing at that time. Humanitarian Arrangements Transport, evacuation centres, emergency feeding, treatment of injured, first aid, ambulances and temporary mortuaries. Responsibility of the Emergency Co-ordinating Officer The various emergency services would be co-ordinated by an Emergency Coordinating Officer (ECO), who will be designated by the district collector. The ECO would liaison closely with the site main controller. Again depending on local arrangements, for very severe incidents with major or prolonged offsite consequences, the external control would


304



be passed to a senior local authority administrator or even an administrator appointed by the central or state government. The ECO will be equipped with address and phone numbers of important agencies. Responsibility of Police Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life and property and Controlling traffic movements. Their functions should include controlling bystanders, evacuating the public, identifying the dead and dealing with casualties, and informing relatives of death or injury. Responsibility of the Local Authority

The duty to prepare the offsite plan lies with the local authorities. The emergency planning Officer (EPO) appointed should carry out his duty in preparing for a whole range of different emergencies within the local authority area. The EPO should liaison with the plant, to obtain the information to provide the basis for the plan. This liaison should ensure that the plan is continually kept up to date. It will be the responsibility of the EPO to ensure that all those organizations which will be involved offsite in handling the emergency, know of their role and are able to accept it by having for example, sufficient staff and appropriate equipment to cover their particular responsibilities. Rehearsals for offsite plans should be organized by the EPO. Responsibility of Fire Authorities The control of a fire should be normally the responsibility of the senior fire brigade officer who would take over the handling of the fire from the site incident controller on arrival at the site. The senior fire brigade officer should also have a similar responsibility for other events, such as explosions. Fire authorities in the region should be appraised about the location of all stores of flammable materials, water and foam supply points, and fire fighting equipment. They should be involved in onsite emergency rehearsals both as participants and, on occasion, as observers of exercises involving only site personnel. Responsibility of Health Authorities Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances and so on, should have a vital part to play following a major accident, and they should form an integral part of the emergency plan. For major fires, injuries should be the result of the effects of thermal radiation to a varying degree, and the knowledge and experience to handle this in all but extreme cases may be generally available in most hospitals. Major off site incidents are likely to require medical equipment and facilities additional to Those available locally, and a medical "mutual aid” scheme should exist to enable the Assistance of neighbouring authorities to be obtained in the event of an emergency. Responsibility of Government Safety Authority This will be the factory inspectorate available in the region. Inspectors are likely to satisfy


305



themselves that the organization responsible for producing the offsite plan has made adequate arrangements for handling emergencies of all types including major emergencies. They may wish to see well documented procedures and evidence of exercise undertaken to test the plan. In the event of an accident, local arrangements regarding the role of the factory inspector will apply. These may vary from keeping a watch, to a close involvement in advising on operations. 7.4 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT

Operational phase of the expansion in exist ing unit cover the entire l ife span of the project. The proposed expansion project wil l generate direct employment for local persons. The indirect employment will also be generated by way of transportat ion, shopkeepers and other casual employment for many people. Local people wil l be given training and preference for almost all the jobs in the plant, direct as well as indirect. Economic status of the local people wil l be improved due to the increased business opportunit ies, thereby, making a posit ive impact. Educational, medical and housing faci l it ies in the study area wil l considerably improve. Thus, the proposed expansion project wil l have long term-irreversible posit ive impact on the employment pattern of the study area.


306



CHAPTER - 8 PROJECT BENIFITS Due to the expansion in existing project, 25 nos. of local peoples and outside peoples will get employment during the construction phase and additional 20 peoples will be employed during the operation phase. Local people will be given preference for almost all the jobs in the Plant, direct as well as indirect. Economic status of the local people will be improved due to the increased business opportunities, thereby, making a positive impact. Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study area will considerably improve. Therefore, social infrastructure of the study area will be improved. The company will also do following developmental activities in the area: The proposed Project does not involve any displacement of villages; however it will lead to development of the region and increase in infrastructure facility. During the operation phases of the project a work force will be needed which will include both skilled and unskilled people. Due to the proposed expansion project direct employment for local employees will be generated. Existing ancillary as well as auxiliary industries would be benefited by way of getting additional work. In addition to direct employment, indirect employment will generate ancillary business to some extent for the local population. Due to the proposed expansion Project, facilities are likely to grow with the development. There is a positive effect due to improved communication and health services, which have lead to economic prosperity, better educational opportunities and access to better health and family welfare facilities. There will be beneficial effect on human settlement due to employment opportunities from the industry. Local quality of life will be improved. This factor combined with all other mitigation measures like proper treatment and disposal of wastewater, hazardous waste and gaseous emission has minimized the adverse impact on ecology and had a beneficial impact on human settlement and employment opportunities. There has been a beneficial impact on the local socio-economic environment. The increasing industrial activity will boost the commercial and economical status of the locality up to some extent.

CHAPTER 9 SUMMARY OF ENV. IMPACTS & CONCLUSION The environmental impacts of projects or actions generally encompass a broad range of impact from Air and Noise pollution to affect on employment and neighborhood as well as on social structure. All of these impacts vary in magnitude as well as in their beneficial or adverse classification. As a result, a natural question arises as to what is the “collective” or “overall” environmental impact of the project or action taken. Is the project beneficial or is it adverse? To answer such a question requires a comparison of these impacts and to some extent subjective evaluation of those impacts which are more important than others. Environment Impact Assessment as detailed in previous chapter can now be concise to impact statement given below.

9.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Meteorological data collected during the study period confirms that climatic Status of the study area is consistent with the regional meteorology. Average concentration of ambient air quality parameters such as PM10, PM 2.5, SO2 and NOx in the surrounding study area are well within the permissible limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) Standards for respective residential rural areas and industrial areas. Evaluated GLCs due to the proposed air pollution load in existing stack as well as propsoed stacks. When added to the monitored existing ambient air quality, provides the expected ambient air quality when the fuel qty will be increased in existing utility as well as proposed utility and the same indicates that expected AAQ are well within the permissible limit of National Ambient Air Quality Standards for residential rural areas as well as industrial areas. It is concluded from the above that there will be a minor impact on the AAQ of the surrounding environment due to operation of the proposed expansion project.


M/s. Micro Resins Pvt. Ltd. is an existing unit and the source of water for existing and proposed activity will be GIDC Borewell. The quality of the water was tested at Eight locations in the study area. The ground water norms were compared to IS: 10500 (1991) for evaluation. The Industry generates process effluent apart from process, washing, Cooling Tower blow down and domestic effluent.


308



Water Consumption: Total 100.157 m3 /day of water will be used for industrial activity & 2.0 m3/ day of water used for domestic activity.


1. Domestic effluent@ 1.6 KLPD is discharged through Septic tank/soak pit. 2. Total 100.157 KL/day of water will be used for industrial activity & 2 KL/day of

water used for domestic activity. 3. Boiler condensate shall be recycled as boiler feed water. Softening rejection,

boiler blow down & Steam loss shall be compensating by fresh water. Softening rejection and boiler blow down shall be drain to ETP.


5. Floor/container washing shall be drain to ETP. 6. Thus total 94.873 KL/Day of industrial effluent will be generated, which will treat

in primary, secondary & tertiary treatment plant& discharge into CETP, Vapi.

Thus, it can be concluded that negligible impact on surrounding water environment is caused. Further, it is emphasized that all precautionary measures have to be strictly adhered as mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan given in Chapter 6, to maintain ground water quality within norms in the future.

9.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Base line data indicates that noise levels in the study area are not on higher sides. Noise level in and around plant site were measured. Measured noise levels within premises indicate that overall noise levels are within the Damage Risk Criteria. The company will provide ear-protecting devices/ earplugs for working personnel exposed to high noise level. It can be concluded that there will be no impact on the noise level of the surrounding environment.

9.4 HAZARDOUS WASTES

As per the Hazardous Waste (Management & Handling) Amendment Rules, 2003, all necessary control steps for each type of Hazardous Wastes generated from the proposed project will be taken. Therefore, no impact of hazardous wastes generation on surrounding soil environment is anticipated.


309



9.5 ECOLOGY

The proposed expansion project will be carried out on land within their premises without cutting of any trees. Also, the project site is located in Industrial Estate and non-agricultural land devoid of any permanent eco-system. So it does not alter the crop pattern and natural vegetation of the surrounding area. Due to the safe control technology of air pollutants, liquid effluents and solid/hazardous wastes disposal, no impact on the surrounding ecology is anticipated.

9.6 SOCIO - ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The proposed expansion project will generate direct employment for employment persons. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual employment. Implementation of this plant will also reduce production loss due to shortage of power. Thus, the proposed expansion project will have significant positive impacts on the employment pattern of the study area.

9.7 CONCLUSION

As such the Environmental Impact Statement recommends the implementation of the proposed with the proposed environmental protection measures.

Special Remarks on Toxicity to Animals:Formaldehyde: LD50 [Rabbit] - Route: Skin; Dose: 270 ul/kg

Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:Exposure to Formaldehyde and Methanol may affect genetic material (mutagenic). Exposure to Formaldehyde and Methanolmay cause adverse reproductive effects and birth defects(teratogenic). Adverse reproductive effects of Formaldehyde as wellas Methanol are primarily based on animal studies. Very few human studies have been done on the adverse reproductiveeffects from exposure to Formaldehyde. Studies produced a weak association (limited evidence) between advese humanfemale reproductive effects and occupational exposure. Furthermore, no human data could be found on adverse reproductiveeffects from occupational exposure to Methanol. Exposure to Formaldehyde may cause cancer.

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Corrosive. Causes skin irritation which may range from mild to severe with possible burnsdepending on the extent of exposure and concentration of solution. Other symptoms may include brownish discoloration of theskin, urticaria, and pustulovesicffular eruptions. May be absorbed through skin with symptoms paralleling those of ingestion.Eyes: Corrosive. Contact with liquid causes severe eye irritation and burns. It may cause irreversible eye damage (severecorneal Solutions containing low formaldehyde concentrations may produce transient discomfort and irritation. Inhalation:Causes irrititation of the respiratory tract (nose, throat, airways). Symptoms may include dry and sore mouth and throat,thirst, and sleep disturbances, difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, coughing, sneezing, wheezing rhinitis, chest tightness,pulmonary edema, bronchitis, tracheitis, laryngospasm, pneumonia, palpitations. It may also affect metabolism weightloss, metabolic acidosis), behavior/central nervous system (excitement, central nervous system depression, somnolence,convulsions, stupor, aggression, headache, weakness, dizziness, drowsiness, coma), peripheral nervous system, and blood.Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May be fatal. Causes gastrointestinal irritation with nausea, vomiting (possibly with blood),diarrhea, severe pain in mouth, throat and stomach, and possible corrosive injury to the gastrointestinal mucosa/ulcerationor bleeding from stomach. May also affect the liver(jaundice), urinary system/kidneys (difficulty urinating, albuminuria,hematuria, anuria), blood, endocrine system, respiration (respiratory obstruction, pulmonary edema, bronchiolar obstruction),cardiovascular system (hypotension), metabolism (metabolic acidosis), eyes (retinal changes, visual field changes), andbehavior/central nervous system (symptoms similar to those for inhalation). Contains Methanol which may cause blindness ifswallowed. Chronic Potential Health Effects: Skin: Prolonged or repeated exposure may cause contact dermatits both irritantand allergic. It may also cause skin discoloration. Inhalation: Although there is no clear evidence, prolonged or repeatedexposure may induce allergic asthma. Other effects are similar to that of acute exposure. Ingestion: Prolonged or repeatedingestion may cause gastrointestinal tract irritation and ulceration or bleeding from the stomach. Other effects may be similarto that of acute ingestion.






Special Remarks on the Products of Biodegradation:Methanol in water is rapidly biodegraded and volatilized. Aquatic hydrolysis, oxidation, photolysis, adsorption to sediment, andbioconcentration are not significant fate processes. The half-life of methanol in surfact water ranges from 24 hrs. to 168 hrs.Based on its vapor pressure, methanol exists almost entirely in the vapor phase in the ambient atmosphere. It is degraded byreaction with photochemically produced hydroxyl radicals and has an estimated half-life of 17.8 days. Methanol is physicallyremoved from air by rain due to its solubility. Methanol can react with NO2 in pollulted to form methyl nitrate. The half-life ofmethanol in air ranges from 71 hrs. (3 days) to 713 hrs. (29.7 days) based on photooxidation half-life in air.
