3.6 Wastewater Generation, Treatment & Disposal

During construction phase, domestic wastewater generation of 12 KLD will be treated

in the existing sewage treatment plant.

During operational phase, total wastewater generation of the project is about 1113 KLD

which is proposed to treat through a Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) having capacity of

1200 KLD. The Laundry, Lab & OT water will be neutralized & disinfected initially &

treated in the STP. The treated wastewater of 1091 KLD will be reused for Toilet

Flushing (396 KLD), HVAC make up (100 KLD) and greenbelt development (80 KLD)

within the facility. The excess treated sewage of 515 KLD will be disposed through the

underground sewer of Corporation. Detail about the proposed STP is enclosed as

Annexure - IX.

Preventive measures to avoid leaching of sewage into nearby water courses

There is no water course, lake are exists around the site. Even though, we have

proposed to provide following preventive methods to avoid leaching of treated sewage.

Treated sewage from Sewage Treatment Plant will be conveyed to gardening purpose

through pipelines. All the joints from piping system will be checked periodically and

carrying treated wastewater pipes will be laid in conduits wherever road crossings are

expected. Thus no leaching of treated sewage into nearby water courses shall take place.

Supervisors will be employed for overall operation & maintenance of water supply,

waste water treatment and other utility services.

3.7 Solid Waste Generation, Collection, Transport and Disposal

The quantity of municipal solid waste generation and Solid waste management from the

proposed hospital is estimated and tabulated in Table – 3.8 & Table – 3.9.

3.7.1 Biomedical Waste Management

As per Bio-Medical Waste (Management and Handling) Rules, 1998 and amendments,

any waste, which is generated during the diagnosis, treatment or immunization of

human beings or animals or in research activities pertaining there to or in the

production of testing of biological and including categories mentioned in schedule 1 of

the Rule, is the bio medical waste. The bio medical waste management starts from the

point of generation. Waste minimization options should be considered and adopted.

After the waste is generated the immediate step is segregation followed by collection,

storage, transportation, treatment and disposal. The path between the two points

(cradle to grave) can be segmented schematically as.

• Identification of areas of waste generation

• Categorization, quantification of waste and minimization

• Segregation, handling and storage

• Treatment, destruction and disposal

The Biomedical waste generated from the proposed project site is 25% of the hospital

waste. The biomedical waste calculation is given below.

The inorganic non biodegradable / recyclable waste like plastic, paper, glasses, etc

will be disposed to different type of recyclers.

• Part of the food waste generated from the kitchen / canteen is also being disposed to

bio gas plant.

• Dewatered STP sludge will be used as manure for gardening within the facility.

• Quantity of construction debris during construction phase will be approx. 50 - 100

kg/day which will be sold to appropriate vendors.

• The quantity of total excavated earth material and demolition waste will be

approximately 65,500 Cu.m., which will be used for refilling in the low lying area.

3.8 Rainwater Harvesting & Storm Water Management

A rainwater harvesting system comprises components of various stages - transporting

rainwater through pipes or drains, filtration, and recharging the ground water through

tanks. Percolation pits will be constructed for ground water recharge. Runoff from the

first spell of rain carries a relatively large amount of pollutants from the air and

catchments surface so the system will be provided with a filtration pit consisting of

layers of sand, gravel and pebbles of relevant sizes to remove impurities from the

collected rainwater.


49 March 2017

3.8.1 Need for Rainwater Harvesting

• Surface water is inadequate to meet the daily demand and we have to depend on

ground water.

• Due to rapid urbanization, infiltration of rain water into the sub-soil has

decreased drastically and recharging of ground water has diminished.

• Rainwater harvesting prevents the flooding of low-lying areas in the site.

3.8.2 Rainwater harvesting in the project site

• The entire site is being designed for an effective and efficient storm water

collection and harvesting system.

• The terrace rain water shall be brought down through RW stacks. Free surface

run off will be planned in the building setbacks and on to saucer drains along

internal roads. The path ways shall be graded to drain into rain water drain

channels in main drive ways/ roads.

• The collected storm water is allowed to percolate to the sub-soil by suitably

designed rainwater harvesting wells & percolation pits. The wells & pits are

designed based on the soils percolation capability.

3.8.3 Rainwater Harvesting Network

Rain water harvesting trenches will be constructed all around the compound wall to

collect rain water. Excess storm water will be allowed to drain into the external storm

drain. The depth of the trench will be 1.5 m and the width will be 1 m. The trench will be

filled with rounded pebble 50 to 75 mm size. The sectional detail of the proposed rain

water recharge pit is provided in Figure 3.2.

The path ways around the harvesting lines will be graded to facilitate drainage into

trenches proposed around the compound. Recharge wells/pits are envisaged along the

path of the storm water drains for rain water recharging & surplus water from the

recharge wells/pits shall be diverted to the storm water drainage network.

The collected storm water will be allowed to percolate to the sub-soil by suitably

designed percolation pits. The pits will be designed based on the soils percolation


50 March 2017

capability. The subsoil water table is high in these areas and however harvesting pits

with bores will be provided.

Percolation pits of suitable numbers will be provided for recharge of ground water

potential. The quantity of run-off water potential for the proposed construction project

is given below.

Rain Water harvesting will be done through the trench which is provided with the

pebble bed of 1500 mm width & 1000 mm depth all around the building which will be

filled with rounded pebble of size 50 to 70 mm. The path ways will be graded to drain

into rain water drain channels proposed in main drive ways/ roads, so that rain water

from the terrace flow over this pavement and spread into the pebble bed.

Construction Phase:

The surface runoff during the construction phase will be directed into the drains that

would be created temporarily for this purpose. During operation phase of the project, it

is proposed to undertake rainwater harvesting to the extent possible.

Operation Phase:

The site and its surrounding area are sloping towards northwest to southeast direction.

The storm water runoff from the external catchment area is now crossing the site. In

boundary of the site, storm water drains are constructed with 1.0m width x 1.0 depth to

divert the runoff from the catchment area in west & Southwest direction. The drain will

be connected with external drain located in the south east side of the project site. Part of

the runoff water from the west side will be diverted to the storm water drain

constructed in the west side of the project site and further it will also be linked with

external drain for safe disposal.

4.2 Green Belt Development

Green belt is plantation of trees for reducing the pollution as they absorb both gaseous

and particulate pollutant, thus removing them from atmosphere. Green plants form a

surface capable of absorbing air pollutants and forming sinks for pollutants. It balances

the ecological environment, prevents soil erosion, improves the aesthetic value of local

environment and provides possible habitats for birds and animals, thus creating

hospitable nature in urban areas. Greenbelts in and around urban areas have probably

not saved any lives, but they are important nonetheless to the ecological health of any

given region. The various plants and trees in greenbelts serve as organic sponges for

various forms of pollution, and as storehouses of carbon dioxide to help offset global

warming.

Horticulture

While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts, weightage has to be

given to the natural factor of bio-climate. It is also presumed that the selected plants will

be grown as per normal horticultural practice.

A standard horticultural practice involves planting of saplings in proper dimensions for

smaller trees and shrubs. The pits are then filled with earth, sand, silt and manure in

pre-determined proportions. The growing plants are cared for the first three years

under favorable conditions of climate and drainage. Hence it is safe to assume that trees

and bushes grown as green belt components in areas under human control will have

overcome the limitations imposed by soil characters to a great extent. Limitations

imposed by climatic conditions on the other hand cannot be overcome and hence will

have to be taken into account while selecting species for plantation in different bio-

climatic conditions.

Plantation along Roadsides

Automobiles may be considered as ground level, mobile sources of pollution of both

types- gaseous as well as particulate. Components of green belts on road sides hence

should be both absorbers of gases as well as of dust particles, including even lead


60 March 2017

particulates. Choice of plants for roadside plantations may be for containment of

pollution and for formation of a screen between traffic and roadside residences. This

choice of plants should include shrubs of height 1- 1.5 m and tree of 3-5 m height. The

intermixing of trees and shrubs should be such that the foliage area density in vertical is

almost uniform. Since safety of traffic is a major consideration, shrubs in roads will have

to be short enough to be below the eye level of motorists.

Recommended Plants

All tolerant plants are not necessarily good for green belts e.g. Xerophytes with sunken

stomata can withstand pollution by avoidance but are poor absorbers of pollutants due

to low gaseous exchange capacity. Therefore selection of plants is very important in

green belt development for effective removal of suspended particulate matter and for

absorption of gases. The trees in Table - 4.4 are the trees suitable for the soil type in the

study area for green belt development.

• Greenbelt area (Existing) - 8,103.61 Sq.m

• Greenbelt area (After Expansion) – 14550.50 Sq.m

• No of trees required for Greenbelt development after expansion = 582 Nos

• No of existing trees available in Greenbelt area – 280 Nos

• No of additional trees proposed to be planted = 302 Nos

4.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Disaster is an unexpected event due to sudden failure of the system, external threats,

internal Disturbances, earthquakes, fire and accidents. Following subsection describes

the measures to be undertaken by the project proponent to prevent / minimize risk of

unexpected event.

Preventive Action

Once the likelihood of a disaster is suspected, action has to be initiated to prevent a

failure. Engineers responsible for preventive action should identify sources of repair

equipments, materials, labour and expertise for use during emergency.

Reporting Procedures

The level at which a situation will be termed a disaster shall be specified. This shall

include the stage at which the surveillance requirements should be increased both in

frequency and details. The project incharge should notify the officer for the following

information:

Exit points for the public,

Safety areas in the nearest medical facilities.

Communication System

An efficient communication system is absolutely essential for the success of any disaster

management plan. This has to be worked out in consultation with local authorities.

More often, the entire communication system gets disrupted when a disaster occurs.

The damage areas need to be clearly identified and provided with temporary and full

proof communication system.

Emergency Action Committee

To ensure coordinates action, an Emergency Action Committee should be constituted.

Emergency Action Committee will prepare the evacuation plan and procedures for

implementation based on local needs and facilities available. The plan should include:


62 March 2017

• Demarcation of the areas to be evacuated with priorities,

• Safe area and shelters,

• Security of property left behind in the evacuated areas,

• Functions and responsibilities of various members, and

• Setting up of joint control action.

All personnel involved in the Emergency Action Plan should be thoroughly familiar with

all the elements of the project area and their responsibilities. The staff at the site should

be trained for problem detection, evaluation and emergency remedial measures.

Individual responsibility to handle the segments in emergency plan must be allotted.

Success of an emergency plan depends on public participation, their response to

warning notifications and timely action. Public has to be educated on the hazards and

key role in disaster mitigation by helping in the rescue operations. It is essential to

communicate by whom and how a declared emergency will be terminated. There should

be proper notification to the public on de-alert signals regarding termination of the

emergency. The notification should be clear so that the evacuees know precisely what to

do when re-entering or approaching the affected areas.

4.4 Environmental Monitoring Plan It is proposed to monitor essential parameters for ambient air quality, ambient noise

quality, ground water quality and waste water quality both during the construction and

operation phases of the project. The frequency of monitoring and method of monitoring

will be conducted as per norms of CPCB. However the monitoring schedule is given in
