CHAPTER 4

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS &

MITIGATION MEASURES Prediction of impacts is the most important step of environmental impact

assessment. Superimposition of predicted impacts over baseline

environmental scenario gives the ultimate environmental scenario. In the

present study, baseline environmental scenario was established through

environmental monitoring data for the period of September-2009 to

November-2009.

4.1 IMPACTS & MEASURES As a first step, the entire process has been divided into a number of smaller

sub activities for construction and operation phases. The probable impacts of

each of these activities on various sectors of environment (such as air, water,

socio-economic environment etc.) have been identified and listed.

The lists various activities of construction phase and their probable impacts on

various sectors of environment. The impacts are classified as long term

impacts and short term impacts.

The impacts are envisaged to be short term impacts, confined to

construction period only (04 months). Further, the magnitude of the impacts is

envisaged to be low, as the site and infrastructural facilities are fully

developed. Mitigation measures for significant impacts are discussed in

respective sections.

4.2 MITIGATION MEASURES 4.2.1 AIR POLLUTION

Cement being a precious product, it is transported with outmost care in

automatic process in covered containers. Any loss in Cement during

transportation will translate into direct financial loss.



Loading and unloading of cement into trucks and silo will be carried out

through air tight ducts/hoses operated by automatic filling machines,

thereby minimizing the possibility of leakage into air environment to

abysmally low.

The company will do regular maintenance of the air ducts, pumps, ship

loaders etc to avoid financial loss due to escape of cement into air.

All the vehicles equipments and storage places used for transportation

and storage of cement are made waterproof to avoid solidification of

cement.

High efficiency bag filters will be used to reduce the dust emission from

transverse points.

4.2.2. NOISE POLLUTION

Provision of earmuffs/head gears to the construction workers.

Ear muffs shall be provided to the concerned personnel during the

operation stage.

It will be ensured that all construction equipment and vehicles are in good

working condition, properly lubricated and maintained to keep noise

within permissible limit.

The ship loader to be maintained properly to ensure best performance

with low level of noise.

4.2.3 WATER POLLUTION

No additional water required and no process waste water generation.

Domestic waste water will be disposed through soak pit system.

1. Storm water channel management:

We have prepared around 700.0 meter length, 1.0 meter width and 1.0

meter of depth, Storm water channel around the plant to avoid the

accumulation of rain water in the plant. Storm water channel prepared in



such way that all surface water flows through storm water channel and

meets the nearby river’s water.

Storm water channel maintenance has been carried out as per planned

schedule. We kept it neat & cleaned by regular cleaning. We ensured

that it should be cleaned before starting of monsoon.

2. Surface run off management:

On the basis of natural ground level we have constructed network of drain

to take away the water flow from surface to drain. Service water is

recalculated through cooling tower for effective utilization without

wastage of water. RO- plant rejected water also utilized in garden.

Septic water connected to water sop-pits and its cleaning has been

carried out regularly.



CHAPTER 5

ENVIRONMENTAL & OCCUPATIONAL

wherever feasible.



CHAPTER 7

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) reviews the adequacy of various

pollution control measures envisaged for Narmada Cement Grinding Unit-

Magdalla works (presented in Chapter 2.0) in mitigating various

environmental impacts identified and assessed in Chapter 4.0. EMP has been

prepared separately for construction and operation phases.

It describes administrative aspects of ensuring that mitigatory measures are

implemented and their effectiveness is monitored. It also includes green belt

development plan. Environmental monitoring programmer has already been

presented in Chapter 5.0. Each of the mitigatory measure has been assessed

with respect to

Adoption of state of art technological measures

Identification of human resources for its effective implementation

Allocation of financial resources for its effective implementation and

Effectiveness of mitigatory measure in mitigation of impacts

EMP specifies various technological measures for pollution prevention, waste

minimization, etc. proposed to be undertaken to mitigate the environmental

impacts on each sector of environment during each phase of the project, i.e.

construction phase and operation phase.

The responsibility for implementation for all mitigatory measures rests with the

company. Most of the mitigatory measures are integral part of the main plant

package and are commissioned simultaneously with the commissioning of

the main plant packages. However, at this stage, it is not possible to give a

detailed physical and financial plan for individual measures.



7.1 MITIGATION MEASURES FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE The impacts of construction activities would be temporary in nature and will

reduce gradually with the completion of the construction activities. Various

mitigation measures proposed to be implemented during construction phase

are described in Table 7.1.1.

7.4 AFFORESTATION AND GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT Comprehensive afforestation is imperative for restoring ecodynamics. The

afforestation activities of the industrial region not only serve as foreground

and background landscape features resulting in harmonizing and

amalgamating the physical structures of projects with the surrounding

environment, but also contribute to the overall improvement in the

environment.

In addition to this, forests have an in-built mechanism to absorb a wide

variety of pollutants. As a policy, Ultratech Cement Ltd, Unit: Narmada

Cement Limited, magdalla works lays special emphasis on tree plantation in

the project areas and its surroundings. General Guidelines have been

evolved for afforestation at various project sites. Minimizing the destruction of

existing trees and undertaking of plantation since the beginning of

construction activities are certain.

The afforestation programmer are drawn to conform to natural climatic

conditions and adaptability of the species.

The company has independent horticulture departments at the projects

headed by experienced Horticulture Officers/Supervisors. A number of

workmen assist in the successful implementation of the afforestation

programmer.

Implementation of afforestation program is of paramount importance for any

industrial development. In addition to augmenting green cover, it also checks

soil erosion, makes the climate more conducive, restores water balance and

makes the ecosystem more complex and functionally more stable. The green

belt helps to capture the fugitive emissions and to attenuate the noise

generated in the plant, apart from improving the aesthetics of the plant site.

The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant

and the surrounding areas.



7.4.1 Procedure for Plantation To undertake plantation on site, following steps are involved:

Collection of healthy seeds from middle aged trees from the existing

nursery

Filling up poly bags and root trainers with potting mixtures made up of soil,

sand and compost

Sowing of seeds in poly bags and root trainers for raising quality seedlings

in nursery;

Maintenance of raised seedlings in a nursery

Preparation of pits size 60cm X 60cm X 60 cm on site in the month of

March

Planting of seedlings in the month of July endings should be raised in

nurseries. Adequate number of surplus seedlings should be available

considering 10% mortality in seedlings. Healthy seedlings should be ready

for transfer to permanent location before rainy season. Recommendations

for preparation of pits and transfer of seedlings are as follows:

The plant to plant and road to row to row distance would depend on

crown of plant species and location

The pits should be filled using fertile soil from nearby areas, Farm yard

manure (FYM) and vermicompost

Rhizobium commercial preparation (1 kg/1000 kg);

BHC powder, if the soil inhabits white ants (in variable amount); and

Watering will be provided immediately after plantation and thereafter

The fly ash is deficient in plant nutrients like nitrogen. Therefore, amendment

of ash with suitable soil additives is essential. The properties of some soil

additives are presented in Table 7.3



Table 7.3

Nutrient Contents of Some Organic Manure

Manure Type Nutrient Content (%) Organic Matter N P K (%) Farm yard manure

0.62 0.13 0.49 24

Pig slurry 0.21 0.1 0.18 5 Poultry manure 2.3 0.9 0.65 65 Sewage sludge 1.82 0.43 0.46 39 Mushroom compost

2.8 0.20 0.8 65

Domestic refuse 0.5 0.2 0.30 65 Straw 0.48 1.62 0.85 95

Mixing of farm yard manure or locally available soil additives in 1:4 proportion

has been found to be suitable.

7.4.2 Selection of Tree Species The effectiveness of plants to control pollution depends upon the

physiological, morphological traits such as leaf epidermis, size, leaf

orientation, internal enzyme system, etc. Systematic screening of plants for

their ability to tolerate pollutant need be undertaken.

While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belt, weightage

has to be given to the natural factor of bio climate. The tree species selected

for green belt should include the native species having multipurpose uses.

These trees should be planted in several rows with a tree density of 1500-2000

trees/ha. The interspaces should be planted with grasses, bushes and hedges.

For effective removal of pollutants it is necessary that

Plant grow under condition of adequate nutritional supply

Absence of water stress

Well exposed to atmospheric conditions of light and breeze.



For absorption of Suspended particulate matters following characters of

plants to be considered.

1. Height and spread of crown

2. Leaves supported on firm petioles.

3. Abundance of surfaces on bark and foliage, through

4. Roughness of bark

5. Epidermal outgrowths on petioles

6. Abundance of axillary’s hairs,

7. Hairs or scales on laminar surfaces

8. Stomata protected (by wax, arches/ring/hairs etc)

The company has done very good plantation in its existing Grinding unit.

8.7.2 OFF-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN If an accident takes place in Narmada Cement Grinding unit and its affects

are felt outside its premises, the situation thus created is called an “Off Site”

emergency. It no longer remains the concern of the factory management

alone but also becomes a concern for the general public living outside the

boundary premises of the factory or storage site

Major fire involving combustible materials like oil, and other facilities.

To meet such situations, Off Site Emergency Plan is to be prepared. Under the

Environmental Protection Act, the responsibility of preparation of OFF-SITE

Emergency Plan lies with the State Government. The Collector / Deputy

Collector are ordinarily nominated by State Government to plan OFF-SITE

Emergency Plan.
