12. Abstract

Construction activities are pursued in India without focusing on environmental issues. Due to
this natural resources are in pressure and also creating harmful effects on human health and well
beings and this environmental pressure is due to unplanned and unsustainable infrastructure
development. Hence, the Government of India accomplish the Environmental Protection Act in
23 May 1986 to plan the activity in sustainable way by considering the water and air
environment. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) process was made mandatory on 27
th

January 1994 for projects of various categories like mining of minerals highway projects,
thermal power projects, oil and refinery projects etc except construction projects. MoEF, the
ministry of Environment & Forest had issued revised notification on Environmental Clearance
(EC) processes on 14th September 2006 vide which environmental clearance was made
mandatory for construction projects. There are certain criteria to prepare and file an application.
A report in the form of Form-I, Form- IA, Conceptual Plan and other necessary approvals has to
be submitted to SEAC/SEIAA to proceed the process of EC. Central government made a
committee named State Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC) and authority named State Level
Environment Impact Assessment Authority (SEIAA), has power to grant EC after ensuring that
there is no environmental issue arises with this construction activity and also all the guidelines as
per EIA notifications, norms and standards made by MoEF, NBC, ECBC etc will be followed by
the proposed project.


Keywords: Environmental Clearance, Environmental Impact Assessment, Environmental
Management Plan

13. Objective

The main objective of this project is to serve the state of art facility to live in Gurgaon
and maximize local employment and educational opportunities.

1. Introduction
1.1 INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE
In India, the core sectors like thermal power plants, mining, highway, distilleries, textile
industries and construction activities etc has a significant role to play for the progress of the
country by providing with the elementary requirements of its people. Most of the times these
practices are carried out without taking into account the environmental concerns, resulting in an
unplanned urban development at the cost of sustainability and there by posing a far greater threat
to our biodiversity and increased environmental pressures. On January 27
th
1994, the Ministry of
Environment & Forests has passed a direction in order to provide for a better environment with
the projected activity vide which a project proponent has to submit a brief report called
EIA/EMP report to the SEIAA/MoEF before the commencement of the project. This report
consist a detailed description of all the impacts of the projected activity on the environment and
its measures to mitigate them. This method is coined as EIA process/EC clearance.
1.2. PROCESS OF ENVIRONMENTAL CLEARANCE/EIA
The major objective of the EIA Notification, 2006 is to frame out the guidelines and procedures
for EC. With respect to these guidelines, an applicant needs to submit the application in
conjunction with Form I, Form I A & Conceptual Plan and a few other necessary approvals. All
construction and area development projects include a minimum threshold limit which is given in
the following Table-1.

[Construction Manual issued by MoEF under EIA Notification 2006]*
All these projects are classified broadly in to two major categories:-
 Category A
 Category B
Foregoing application for Environmental Clearance shall be recommended by Form I, Form I A,
and Conceptual plan as given in the Appendix, after spotting the project site, the additional copy
of Form I A and Conceptual plan setup together with the annexure.
There are 2 following stages within the previous EC process for brand new projects:
 Screening
 Scoping
 Appraisal

Screening: This is the preliminary stage of the entire EIA Process. In this initial stage the
category of the project is identified which enables to make the decision whether the project or the
activity requires EIA or not for advanced environmental studies. Prior environmental clearance
depends on the project’s nature and location. The regulatory authority may reject prior EC
applications by which SEAC is concerned at this stage itself. In the event of an application being
rejected, a written communication of the decision with its reasons of rejection shall be
communicated to the applicant within sixty working days as the receipt of the application.

Scoping: This is the second part of EIA process which lays out the Terms of Reference as
granted by SEAC entirely on the basis of the initial application submitted by PP. Terms of
Reference encompasses all the mandatory points necessary for the EIA study. After
incorporating all the points of ToR the final EIA report is prepared by and submitted to the
SEIAA.

Appraisal: This is the last and final stage of EIA process in which the project report has to
presented before SEIAA by the project proponent (PP) and consultant to grant the EC which is
already recommended by SEAC and equally SEAC is also obliged in time bound to appraise the

17. case within the 60 days from the date of application submission. SEIAA may appraise it if
ensured that no adverse impact is anticipated from the proposed project or if proper measures of
mitigation or management plan will be proposed by the project proponent.
** SEIAA appraises/grants the EC with a specific condition that PP has to summit the
compliance report of condition mention in EC letter on a half yearly basis.

There is a list proposed for Building & Construction projects in Environmental Clearance

2. Review of Literature
Zhao,Y. (2006) carried out the research on legal regine for construction projects in China and
conclude that Environmental Impact Assessment regine function as an effective decision making
tool in China for more sustainable development.

Datta,A.B. and Sengupta,I . ( 2014) studies on EIA and construction and concluded that EIA
can be considered as the appraisal of anticipated impacted impact that a proposal activity may
have on its surrounding.

Magsi,H and Torre A. (2013) worked on identifying the loop-holes &flaws of developing
countries in EIA outline and operating techniques which leads towards decision making that
were not a very accurate. He also recommended best practices for governance after finding out in
adequacies in the existing framework of EIA in Sindh, Pakistan

Wang.Y,(2003)after working on EIA in people’s republic of China while putting major
emphasis on finding on problems that exist while using EIA as a tool for protection of
environment and consequently he found out that if lack of transparency exist within the decision
makers and a EIA as a whole may lead to biased decisionsespecially in the absence of
environmental protection agency.

Modi, A and Shinkar, N.P. (2012) studied an EIA of road from Ujjain to Jaora and finds that
heavy lose of road side trees resultant in increase in Air and Noise pollution.

Chang,A .etal., (2013) studied an EIA for the new engineering development project of Suao-
Hualian Section along the Eastern Freeway and finds that the EIA-PDRI Assessment Mode can
help set the preliminary scope of the project development while enhancing the EIA performance.

23. Chen, Z and Li, H (2004) worked upon the integrative methodologies for environmental
management in construction activities and identified that any construction project is inclusive of
integrated EMS with a general process in all steps of the projects and these steps are expected to
support developers and contractors manage their environmental performances very effectively
and efficiently china.
Liu K and Lai J.H. (2009) developed a hybrid analytical model using fuzzy logic and fuzzy
network process to study decision-support for EIA and thereafter proposed an advanced
technique could be applied in EIA of construction sector.
Rajaram.T and Das.A (2010) studied on screening process for EIA in India will be done by
enhancing effectiveness through ecological carrying capacity management system can provide
significant inputs to enhance the effectiveness of EIA process from screening to monitoring.
Paliwal. R (2006) carried out a study on EIA practice in India followed by a through SWOT
analysis and the major finding includes awareness of the general public, engagement of
environmental groups and the community at large that could help remove the threads form the
system.
Banham.W and Brew.D (2012) highlighted the post EIA implementation assessment effect in
India that led to rejection of a large no. of construction projects in India during the period of
1990 showcasing the negligence in carrying out the mitigation measures.

32. Wastewater Generation & Treatment:
The wastewater generated will be treated through proposed Sewage Treatment Plant having the
capacity of 700 KLD of MBBR technology inside the project premises. Approximately 522
KLD of water will be obtained by recycling from proposed Sewage Treatment Plant which will
be used for flushing, horticulture, DG cooling purposes and rest of treated water will be given to
water tanker suppliers for construction site.
3.7. SEWAGE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY
Moving Bed Bioreactor Technology:
Sewerage System
Sewage from all units will flow by gravity through the network of an external sewage and will be
collected in the proposed sewage treatment plant.

The benefits of providing the STP(Sewage Treatment Plant) with respect to the above conditions
are:
 A steep reduction in quantity of net daily water requirements, and the treated waste water
are used for for Horticultural purposes.
 The public utilities reduced dependence for water supply and sewerage systems.
 The sludge obtained will be rich in organic content and could be used as fertilizer in
agricultural purposes.

a. Wastewater Details

(c) B.O.D. : <10 mg/l
(d) C.O.D. : <60 mg/l
(e) Total Suspended Solids : <50 mg/l

c. Treatment Technology
The sewage will be first passed through a Bar Screen Chamber where any extraneous matter
would get trapped. The influent would overflow by gravity to the Oil & Grease Chamber which
is provided for safety so that the oil may not inhibit the biological growth in the MBBR reactors.
The sewage then moves towards the Equalization Tank which facilitates to control the changes in
flow rate and minimize the characteristics, otherwise operational problems may arise in proper
functioning of the system. Coarse air bubble diffusion technique is used here to keep the sewage
in mixed condition.
The Bio Reactor is based on the Fluidized Random Aerobic Reactor which combines the
advantage of an Activated Sludge Plant with the Random distribution systems such as Biofilter
with capacities that could be as low as 1/10th of ASP and fractional power consumption, such a
reactor is ideal for the efficient removal of BOD and organics from the wastewater.
The tanks are packed with RIGID PP-UV-sterilized Gas Fluted Media with liquid random
distribution wherein air diffusers are placed to uniformly release air across the tanks.

Working Principle:

The MBBR works very similarly as the submerged fixed film process and in same principle the
only difference being that the media keeps floating around(not fixed) in the aeration tank. The
main advantage of this system over the submerged fixed film process is that it does not clog the

34. media. This prevents recirculation of sludge to a great extent in comparison of usual technologies
the MBBR is smaller and efficient, user friendly. It is highly flexible in terms of the reactor
tank’s design.

Figure-4: Schematic design of STP of MBBR Technology


Sewage Quality:
The Sewage discharged from the Bio reactor system contains sloughed biological solids, while
being completely free of soluble organic chemicals. The quantity of suspended solids and the
concentration of soluble BOD in the sewage while enetering inside the system has a substantial
effect on the quantity of the biological solids thereby making it greatly necessary to have some
means of separating the biological mass from the sewage. Package unit contains tube settlers for
sedimentation and 60 Gross fluted Rigid PVC fill media for the FAB units to treat the
wastewater for discharge into the receiving waters and/or the sanitary sewers as per the local
regulations. The media thickness changes with the design parameters/depth of the unit and can
vary from 0.25 to 0.40 mm thickness.

35. 1. Tube Settler: Here we are providing the Tube Settler along with the PVC media which will
enhance the contact period and thereby the improved performance. The Tube settler will have a
determined lope in the bottom to collect the suspended solids from the waste water. The sludge
will be suited to the Sludge Drying Beds.
2. Pressure Sand Filter: Here the treated water coming from the TSS will be treated for the
suspended impurity removal.
3. Activated Carbon Filter: Here the water coming from the ACF will be treated for colour
removal, suspended impurity removal and the treated water shall be sent to the sewer.

4. Filter Press: A filter is typically nothing but a set of recessed plates compressed by hydraulic
pumps from both the ends. One key thing to note here is that the pressure on the plates should be
enough to resist the internal pressure created internally by the sludge pumping system. This kind
of a vertically setup plates enables watertight and easy discharge of cakes due to the scheme of
plates’ layout. The two grooved surfaces are finely or tightly wrapped by filter clothes.

Primary Treatment: This is the basic step of sewage treatment plant which is done mostly to
remove coarse particles, oil & grease and later on other co agents are added to further remove
suspended solids by the way of sedimentation. After this technique is completed the BOD, COD,
TSS etc levels are significantly reduced to approx. 20% of initial levels

Secondary Treatment:
This step comes second in sewage treatment mostly aided by a aerobic process of the treated
water which helps in bacterial growth and then chemicals and oxygen are added to enhance the
growth of bacteria which in turn helps in settling down the biological waste as sludge. It has been
noticed that after this process the levels of BOD, COD, TSS, O&G etc after this process comes
down to normal levels.
Tertiary Treatment:
This is the final step of the waste water treatment where Sodium Hypo Chloride is mixed with
the sludge and then is made to pass though PSF dual media filter and activated carbon filter

36. where anthracite, sand and activated carbon is used as filter media. The final outlet water
conforms to Bio Assay test of 90% fish water after all the prescribed limits are achieved.

3.8. RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Disposal system of storm water premises shall be self-supporting to escape any collection and
flooding of water. Drainage plan of Storm water of the project is enclosed. The total amount of
storm water excessflow depends upon many aspects such as characteristics of the streamarea,
duration of precipitation, intensity and the necessity of total time for such flow to reach the
drains. Drains should beplaced near the carriage way along either side of the streets. Rain water
excess flow from roads shall flow in the direction of the drains, taking the advantage of road
camber. Storm water from severalstrategies shall be attached to nearby drain by a pipe through
catch basins. So that, 18 rainwater harvesting pits are calculated this will catch the maximum
excess flow from the area at selected locations
1) Existing topography is agreeable to surface disposal, the network of storm water drainage
is planned to the nearby roads. Rain water pipes will take down all building roof rain
water.
2) Proposal of storm water system contains pipe drain, and seepage pits at regular intervals
for rain water harvesting and ground water recharging.
3) For basement parking, the rainwater from ramps will be collected in the basement storm
water storage in tank. This water will be pumped out to the nearby external storm water
drain.
4) Designing of the storm water drainage system shall be considered by rainfall of 48mm/hr
in Peak Hours. Design of rain water harvesting should satisfy the guidelines of CGWA.
Level of the ground water level is 10 meters bglin the area. Recharge structure should be
kept 3 m above form the bottom level. To avoid the choking of the recharge bore filter

41. media is placed at the bottom of the recharge well. There are following specifications of
the rain water harvesting plan:
 For regular cleaning catchments/roofs would be accessible.
 The surface of the root should be smooth, dense and hard which is less likely to be
damaged allowing release of material into the water. Most paints contain toxic
substances and may peel off since roof painting has been avoided.
 Install, the ends of all channels should be fixed with first flush device and wire mesh
screen. Mostly, The debris carried by the water from the rooftop like leaves, plastic
bags and paper pieces will get arrested by the mesh at the terrace outlet and to prevent
contamination by ensuring that the runoff from the first 10-20 minutes of rainfall is
flushed off.
 The system would not admit sewage or wastewater.
 There is no expectation of oil, grease or other pollutants in waste water in this area
where the system is connected to this system.

43. 3.9. SPACE FOR PARKING

Car/vehicle parking facility should be Satisfactory at the proposed project site. Traffic can be
avoided by providing the satisfactory visitor parking for visitors so which allow smooth drive at
the location.

Required Parking:
Required parking for main unit @ 1.5 ECS/DU = 724 × 1.5 =1086 ECS
Required parking for EWS @ 5% of total required parking = 1086 × 5 %
= 54.3 or 55 ECS
Required parking for Visitors @ 20% of total required parking = 1141 x 20%
= 228 ECS
Total parking required = 1086 + 55+ 228 = 1369 ECS

Proposed Parking:
Area proposed for parking on surface = 1933.642 m

Proposed surface parking = 1933.642/25 = 77.3 ECS Say 77 ECS

Area of Basement-1 = 37374.81 m
2

Area proposed for parking in Basement-1 = 29172.429 m
2
Parking Capacity of Basement-1 = 29172.429/35 m
2
= 833 ECS

Proposed parking in basement-1 = 683 ECS

Area of Basement-2 = 36521.42 m
2

44. Area proposed for parking in Basement-2 = 28559.737 m
2
Parking Capacity of Basement-2 = 28559.737/35 m
2
= 816 ECS

Proposed parking in basement-2 = 674 ECS

Total Proposed Parking =77 + 683 + 674 = 1434 ECS
Hence, adequate space for 1434 ECS will be provided within the project premises.

45. 3.10. DEMAND OF ELECTRICITY

Supply of electricity shall be provided by Dakshin Haryana BijliVitran Nigam (DHBVN). The
connected consumption for the group housing colony will be 5380 KWapprox.

Details of Diesel Generator Sets: There is provision of 7 no. of DG sets having total capacity of
5380 KW i.e. 42 DG sets of total capacity of 10820 KVA (41×260 + 1×160 KVA). The DG sets
will be prepared with acoustic attachment to minimize the noise generation and acceptable stack
height for accurate dispersion.

3.11. SOLID WASTE GENERATION

During the both construction and operation phase solid waste will be generate. Solid waste like
MS rods, excavated materials, used bags,concrete; tiles, bricks, wood etcare generated during the
construction phase. For the management of solid waste following steps are proposed:
 Mostly, storage of construction materials, construction backyards are proposed.
 During the later stages of construction an Excavated material like topsoil and stones will
be stacked for reuse
 The storage of excavated top soil will be reused for landscaping of the proposed Group
housing colony project.
 Utilization of remaining soil is done by refilling / rising of site level at locations/ selling
to external agency for construction.

geographical conditions.

Green Belt Development Plan
0.3 m × 0.3 m sizematrix was adopted for plantation of the green belt development including a
pit with a spacing of 2 m x 2 m. Moreover, earth filling and manure requirement is also
anticipated for the proper balance of nutrition and saplings’ nourishment. Recommendations also
include the plantation to be taken up at random and the aspects of landscaping to be taken into
account.

Medium height trees (7 m to 10 m) and some shrubs (5 m height) for multi-layered plantation for
the green belt will be taken. Along with some creepers to be planted through out the boundary
wall thereby enhancingthe capacity of insulation.

Selection of Plant Species for Green Belt Development
The development depends on various factors such as climate, elevation and soil.

No evidence for support to significant vegetation exists. A multilayered peripheral greenbelt of
local plant species is proposed to add toits aesthetic value of the areaas well as providing an
awesome habitat for various groups of fauna. The existing surrounding land is urban without
much habitat for wild species. Whereas this multilayered auxiliary greenbelt will provide an
excellent habitat area for the native fauna. The project will however not have any direct or
indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area. But it is worth mentioning that planting of trees
bearing fruits in the greenbelt will be an amazing attraction to the local bird population.

4. Analysis and Data Collection
4.1. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a set of documented framework that contains the
mitigation measures for each and every respective component of environment which has a
potential future treat due to the increased activities taking place during construction&operational
phase of the project which shall be discussed in detail in subsections later.

Key points of an EMP:
 It is guidedby the rules and regulationsprescribed by the MoEF and CPCB/ SPCB while
preparing an EMP.
 Itconfirms that the components of the facilities are operated strictly in accordance with
the design.
 A management process that makes sure thatevery operation is carried out under
supervision and monitoring
 Addresses complaints of public if any during any phase of construction and operation of
the facilities very effectively and
 A management system that has remedial measures in place which could be implemented
immediately.
An effective EMP facilitates different ways to manage environmental impacts that might arise
due to construction or operational activities which is major benefit and hence allows maintaining
environmental harmony.Secondary benefits include controlling of cost and better relations with
the projects stakeholders including society.

4.2. THE FOUR MAJOR COMPONENTS OF EMP
 Commitment & Policy: The management is obliged toendeavor to facilitate, deliver and
execute the Environmental Management Plan which encompasses all environmental
factors related to water, air, noise and land.

56.  Planning: Planning involves finding out the key factors like impacts on environment,
compliance issues and primary goals of environmental management.
 Implementation:This is about executing the plan amongst the resources which is
available to Construction Company or real estate developers, their accountability and
providing appropriate training to workers and staff.
 Measurement & Evaluation:One of the key components is constant monitoring and
evaluating if the activities are executed as per plan and counter measures are taken
wherever necessary and if records are maintained properly.

M/s Vatika Ltd. is advisedto form a monitoring committee as part of the EMP, with the site in-
charge heading the team and supported bythe representatives of the project implementation team
and environmental group. It would be the responsibility of the committee to make smooth
execution of operation and management of the EMP also taking care of regulatory compliance.
The proposed site is currently unproductive land. It has been assumed that there shall be no
hostile outcome on the land use activities in the project area due to the construction operations of
the project. The site is assigned for commercial development as per the Development Plan of
Gurgaon -Manesar Urban Complex-2021. The project will strictly follow the Building
Regulation Norms of National Building Code. HUDA building by-laws and norms of Town and
Country Planning on Covered Land, Floor Area Ratio, Height, Fire Safety Requirements, Section
and Elevation Design and other parameters will be strictly followed.

Since, careful planning has been taken into account before executing the project there will be a
lot ofprepared open spaces and green acres. Estimated area for landscaping is about 22814.33
m
2
. If the plan is executed well it will have an overall positive impact in the surrounding
environment and the nearby local community.

There shall be no land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence and instability as it is a flat
land. As per the seismic zone map of Indiathe site comes under the zone IV which also indicates
very less damage risk zone. The project has been planned as per Indian Standards Codes which
implies that the project will be earthquake resistant.
No natural drainage routes has been intersected by this project. Also there are no perennial or
non-perennial drainage systemslies in the area of the project.

57. The only work which requires excavation in the proposed project is establishment of the Group
housing Colony’s pillar. The same material could be used for filling the excavated areawithout
the need for any extra material.The excavated topsoil shall be stored separately and used within
the project site for greenbelt development. Hence, no movement of soil to and from the site is
expected.

The surrounding around the site is mostly flat land and comprises of an urbanized stretch. There
are also no low lying areas or wetlands nearby.

The proposed construction poses no significant health hazard. The source of fugitive dust
generation during period of construction will be vehicular movement and material handling.
Water sprinklers will be used to suppress fugitive dust emission as and when required to
minimizeany negative impact due to the same. However, the impacts will be confined to
laborers/workers particularly with regard to occupational exposure. Masks, Ear plugs etc. and
other Personal Protective Equipments will be provided to the workers working in the potential
areas.

Careful design, planning and good site management would minimize waste of materials
.Construction wastes will be segregated as much as possible at site itself to increase the
feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling material and steel pieces as saleable
scrap. Empty packaging materials, drums, glass, tin, paper, plastic, pet bottles, wood, thermocol
and other packaging materials, etc will be disposed through recyclers. The construction spoils
will be temporarily stored at designated dumpsite located inside the site premises. Later on these
wastes will be used for land filling / leveling work within the site premises.

4.3. Potential Impacts and Remedial Measures of Environmental Components

To know efficiency of pollution prevention and control measures at the project site during the
construction phase, Post Environmental Clearance monitoring is scheduled. All the testing was

58. conducted by “Ministry of Environment and Forests” recognized laboratory and NABL
accredited laboratory, and copies of the testing reports are attached with this Annexure.
The Post Environmental Clearance monitoring was done in the month of June 2012, for
following environmental parameters:
(i) Ground Water of the area
(ii) Soil of the area
(iii) Ambient Noise
(iv) Ambient Air Quality
(v) Stacks of DG sets being used at the site.
The results of the monitoring are discussed in the subsequent sections.The other components of
EMP are described below:
a) Water Quality: Following are the impacts and mitigation measures on water from the
proposed activity:
i. Ground Water Quality
 Impacts from Construction Phase: It accounts of waste water generated from
temporary labor tents.
 Mitigation Measures during Construction Phase: Mobile Toilets will be used
while construction of the project is going on for use by the labourers. Soak Pit/
Septic Tank will be proposed to manage the wastewater generated from labour
tents. Hence, no significant impact is from the construction activity.
 Impacts from Operation Phase- It consists of domestic sewage from domestic use
and flushing.
 Mitigation Measures during Operation Phase: A Sewage Treatment Plant will
provided for the recycling of the sewage generated from the proposed activity and
the recycled water will be reused for the purpose of flushing, horticulture and DG
cooling. Hence, no negative or significant impact on ground water quality is
envisaged.
 Ground Water Quantity/Ground Water Depletion
 Impacts from Construction Phase- It accounts of usage of ground water for
construction activity.

59.  Mitigation Measured during Construction Phase: No groundwater will be used
for construction purpose. STP treated water will be used for construction
activity. There is no significant impact on ground water quality envisaged.
 Impacts from Operation Phase: Ground water depletion for fresh water
requirement for residents of the group housing colony.
 Mitigation Measures during Operation Phase: Fresh water requirement will be
fulfilled by HUDA Supply and the Rain Water Harvesting Scheme is also
proposed for recharging of ground water.

 Quality of Surface Water / Contamination in Surface Water
 Impacts on Construction Phase: It often accounts of Surface runoff from site
during the construction activity.
 Mitigation Measures during Construction Phase: Under Controls through EMP &
Design, to control surface run-off, Silt traps and similar other steps such as on site
diversion ditches will be constructed additionally during site development. Since
there is no surface water receiving bodyno off-site impact is envisaged in the core
zone.
 Impacts from Operation Phase- It relates with discharging of domestic wastewater
and rain water in sewer.
 Mitigation Measures during Operation Phase: Domestic waste water will be
recycled in STP and reused in flushing, horticulture and DG cooling and Rain

b) Air Quality: Potential impacts of Air Quality are :
 During Construction Phase
 Dust Emissions- A huge amount of dust will be generated during the construction phase
due to loading and unloading activities.
The dust wil be suppressed by water sprinklers.
 Emissions of PM2.5 & PM10, Sulphur dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and Carbon Monoxide-
Due to operation of the construction equipments and vehicles during construction phase,
PM2.5 & PM10, Sulphur dioxide, Oxides of Nitrogen and Carbon Monoxide will be
generated in the surrounding of the project site.
To mitigate the impacts from construction equipments, equipments will be maintained regularly
by oiling and greasing. The Pollution Under Check (PUC) vehicles will be used to reduce the
projected impacts.
 During Operation Phase
Impacts: Running of DG sets and vehicles will be used during operation phase of the project and
results increase in SO2 and NOx.
Mitigation Measures: Stack Height of DG sets will be maintained as per norms recommended by
CPCB for the proper dispersion of smoke into the air.
PUC certified vehicles will be used by all the residents of the group housing colony.
Result- Ambient Air Quality monitoring was done on 12/09/2013 to 12/09/2013 and 12/09/2013
to 12/09/2013 at the site. The sample for Particulate Matter, Sulphur dioxide, NO2, O3, Pb, CO,
C6H6, BaP, As and Ni was collected adjacent to D Tower at the project site and tested as per the

68. c) Noise Environment: Following are the impacts and mitigation measures on Noise
Environment from the proposed project:
 During Construction Phase:
Impact: A vibrant noise will be generated from equipments of construction during building
work of construction.
Mitigation: PPEs like Earplugs and Earmuffs etc. will be supplied to the labour to mitigate
the impact of noise.
 During Phase of operation:
Impact: Due to running of DG sets and vehicles, a small amount of noise is anticipated from
the proposed project.
Mitigation: Acoustic enclosure will be used for DG set and noise limit of 25 dB will be
maintained. Servicing of vehicles will be done regularly by the residents of the group
housing colony. No Horns will be used in the silence zone and institutional zone. In
additional, green belt will be madenear the project to scatter the noise in the study area.

Result:To know the Ambient Noise at the site, Ambient Noise Level monitoring for day time
and night time was conducted from 11/09/2013 to 12/09/2013 on the project site.

Monitoring Methodology
A portable sound level meter with data logger is used to measure Ambient noise level and also
having inbuilt facilities to studydirect noise levels in dB (A). Continuous sound pressure level
were computed from the values of SPL measured with the help of noise meter. Noise
measurement was conducted as per IS: 4954 as adopted by CPCB. Collected data was used for
calculation of Leq, Lmax, Lmin, Lday, Lnight of the study area.

At monitoring location, continuous monitoring of noise was conducted for a period of 24 hours
to getLeq values at periodic time intervals. For every location, night and day time Leq values
have been estimated from the values of Leqfor which comparison could be made with the
national ambient noise standards.

As per the monitoring data result observed Leq- Day was 65.00 dB(A) and Leq – Night was
55.00 dB(A).

70. d) Soil Contamination:
 During Construction Phase:
Impacts: Top soil and inner soil will be excavated for the foundation of basements and pillars
of the proposed group housing colony “Urban Expression”.
Mitigation Measures: Top soil will be kept separately in a tarpaulin sheet and later on it will
be use for green belt development. The inner soil will be used for the leveling of the project
site. Hence, no movement of soil is anticipated outside the project premises.
 During Operation Phase:
Impact: Soil erosion during the rainy season from open areas of the proposed project.
Mitigation Measures: Green belt in and around the project will be developed to prevent the
soil erosion and rain water harvesting pits has been proposed for ground water recharge.
Result: The sample of the soil has been collected from the project location and analyzed.

72. 4.4. Significance of the project
Increase in population in the country and rapid development in the Cities, specially the metro
cities resulting in large number of migration of population for employment opportunity in the
Cities. The project is located in a residential area and therefore no variations in demographic
structure are anticipated.
Construction phase: The existing demographic profile of the area will also be not impacted
because laborers engaged for construction will be from the local community.
Operation phase: Another area of attention is the changing demography in the area. At most
there will be slight spatial distribution of the local population and no significant influx of outside
population is anticipated.
Adverse effects on local communities:
Construction phase: There are no archeological monuments or important religious sites nearby
the project site. Therefore exists no potential risk of impact in this regard.However this will
definitely aid in providing employment to the set of unskilled, semi skilled and skilled labourers.
A few senior supervising positions will also be open to eligible local candidates.
Operation phase:At completion of this project it will provide with state of the art housing
society with all modern amenities.This in turn will also boost the local economy due to increased
commercialization.
The developments are mostly city centric and hence the influx of people leading to huge gap
between demand and supply of three main thing viz. water, energy and habitat. To cater the need
of the people with a state of art facility to live in comfort with luxury the proposed project is
planned.
