INTRODUCTION

The proposed educational institution [SPA-B, NIFT-B, IISER, training CAMP] for the land of BHOURI. An Initial environmental

examination (IEE) report is to be prepared. This report

summarizes the environmental impacts based on the

information of self observation and study of some secondarydata. The results of the assessment indicate that the project is

not friendly with environment. It will be difficult to support

project for environment.

In determining environmental impacts of the Project, year 2009

is used as the base year for forecasting with impacts predicted

in 2019. The extent of the study has been limited to the

existing physical condition.



DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

The Project involves three educational institutes and one training camp. The periodic maintenance and bettermentworks for project are not in the existing area. The Project alsoincludes measures to improve road maintenance funding,monitoring environmental aspects. The project’s civil works

will include collection of borrow materials, quarry operations,cut and fill, aggregate mixture, cement works, masonry and the establishment of construction camps.

The Project is scheduled to commence in July 2008 and tobe completed in March 2011.



DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

Physical Resources in Project Area

Topography and Soil

The topography is mainly hilly, with some flat and swampy areas. The

soil on the project area is black cotton. It is highly fertile. The generalground level is however, nearly 460 M.

Soil Profile :

black cotton soil

having depth

ranging between

4' to 10’.



CLIMATE

TEMPERATURE – 30 C

HUMIDITY- 10%

DEW POINT- O C

WIND- NE at 33 km/h Pressure-1010 hpa (steady)

Conditions- partly cloudy

Visibility- 8.0 kilometers

Clouds (few)- 3048 m

Sunrise- 05:00 am to 06:00

Sunset- 06:30 pm to 07:30



VEGETATION

THE VEGETATION OF THE AREA

It has agriculture land. not any particular

plant in planted on the area. Mostly

pulses plant. It does not get natural

water properly. Irrigation is covered with

the help of supply water. Due to lake of water source small leaf plant with

thorn, so that less amount of water

can evaporate.



WATER RESOURCES

Lake is the ultimate source

of Bhopal which would

be used for different

purpose .

A piped water supply system for the city

was first developed in the 1940’s for the old

city area, which was augmented and

expanded to suit demand. The upper lake

was the main source of water with apotential yield of 85.5MLD until a major

augmentation (135MLD) took place in 1989

with the development of Kolar dam



AIR QUALITY

Along with the urban developmentespecially during the last decade

there is phenomenal increase in

traffic load, which is one of the

major causes of pollution in the

area. Consequently, MPPCB

started conducting ambient levels

w.r.t. Suspended Particulate

Matter (SPM), Sulphur Dioxide

(SO2) and Nitrogen Oxides (NO2)at various locations in the city.

SCREENING OF POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL

IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The longer-term environmental impacts of the proposed project

are likely to be insignificant with impacts resulting directly from

construction activities only. Environmental impacts during

construction are dependent on: (i) contractors’ work practices,

especially those related to the storage of construction materials

and cleanliness of the work sites; (ii) cooperation by local

communities in terms of traffic management and use of land

and utilities; (iii)enforcement of construction practices andstandards through supervision; and (iv) implementation of

mitigation measures identified in the IEE included in bid and

contract documents.



PHYSICAL ENVIRONMENT

Soils and Materials

The main impacts during

construction are from

extraction of fill materials.

To reduce soil erosion,

construction should take

place mainly in the dry

season. To reduce soil

damage from land, it shouldbe grass cover as soon as

possible.



RECYCLING OF CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL

Contractors will be

encouraged to recycle

and to use recyclable

materials. In addition tosaving cost, this will

reduce environmental

impacts.



SLOPE STABILITY AND DRAINAGE

Bhopal does not have a planned and fullfledged sewerage system. A large areaof the city, has no sewage network, either internal or trunk, and the rawsewage or septic tank outflows are discharged into open drains which flowinto the watercourses.

Bhopal does not have a planned and fullfledged

sewerage system. A large area of

the city, has no sewage network, either

internal or trunk, and the raw sewage or

septic tank outflows are discharged into

open drains which flow into the

watercourses. Ultimately most of thesewage flows into the upper lake and into

the nallahs, which eventually flow into the

Patra, Halali, and Betwa River.



WATER

The water component in

the city can be seen as;

o Ground Water Quality

o Surface WaterEnvironmental Problems associated

with the different water resources:

Ground Water Contamination

Chemical pollution

Microbial Contamination

Affecting Human Health due to

Waterborne Diseases



AIR QUALITY

During construction, air quality is likely to be degraded by exhaust

emissions from the operation of construction machinery;

fugitive emissions from aggregates, concrete and dust

generated from exposed soils. In order to mitigate this, the

following will be implemented: (i) Construction equipment willbe maintained to a good standard and idling of engines

discouraged. Machinery causing excessive pollution (e.g.,

visible smoke) will be banned from construction sites.



ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

A short-term impact on ecology with the project is likely to occur in

and around the quarry sites, agriculture, and workforce camps

due to minor vegetation clearance. The impacts of project on

protected areas are analyzed “with” and “without” project

scenarios. Based on the discussion with student group, fieldvisits, and current maintenance practices, it is concluded that

there will be no significant impact on the protected areas,

overlay), however, some minor negative impact is expected

during the construction and operation, which will be mitigatedby limiting construction camp.



SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The Project will not require resettlement, or removal of permanent

structures. Some temporary disturbances, however, are

possible due to changing agriculture fields pattern, setting up

temporary construction camps, and cutting of trees.

Construction camps will place stresses on nearby communities.

The contractors will be required to establish a mechanism by

which local people can raise grievances. The use of local labor

and the provision of construction support services will beencouraged and will help alleviate potential conflicts.



HEALTH, SAFETY, AND HYGIENE

Impacts of the project on publichealth are likely to arise fromconstruction camps. There will bea potential for diseases to be

transmitted, exacerbated byinadequate health and safetypractices. Each contractor will

therefore be required to recruitan environmental, health and

safety manager to addressenvironmental, health, and safetyconcerns in the camps.



INSTITUTIONAL REQUIREMENT AND

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

An environmental

management and

monitoring plan (EMMP)

was prepared to mitigate

the potential environmentalimpacts of the Project and

the frequency of

environmental monitoring is

attached.



CONCLUSION

The Project will cause some minor environmental impacts, which will be bothpositive and negative. The impacts resulting from the Project include

Increased growth in the economy of the region

Substantial income and employment opportunities

Improved living conditions

Reduced poverty

Provision of a communication link

Will increase pollution

Disturb the rural habitation

In conclusion, the Project will have overall beneficial impacts in improving socioeconomic conditions along the project corridor, and will haveinsignificant negative impacts, which will be carefully monitored andadequately mitigated.
