Chapter-1

Introduction 1.1 PREFACE

An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the

possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have on

the environment, together consisting of the environmental, social and

economic aspects. It is an assessment and management tool that

evaluates the possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project

may have on the environment. EIA systematically examines both beneficial

and adverse consequences of the project and ensures that these effects

are taken into account during project design.

The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers

consider the ensuing environmental impacts when deciding to proceed with

a project.

As India is a developing country, lots of industrialization has been came in

focus since last few decades that ultimately leads the bigger issues related

the environmental quality of the country. Hence, it is needful for

Government of India to control the haphazard industrial development by

providing sustainable development under the legislation. In India, Ministry

of Environment and Forests has defined elaborated „Environmental

Clearance (EC)‟ framework along with requirements for preparing

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the Environmental

(Protection) Act, 1986 (Environmental Impact Assessment Notification,

2006) for establishing/expanding and industry/development projects

although it supports development but only if the development does not

hamper the environment over a defined threshold limit.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Industrial development in India has increased economic growth and

improved living standards of people. These growths are achieved through

industrialization, infrastructure development. Industrialization has played a

major role in development of the country. It also has many other benefits.

Although the industrial development leads to rapid consumption of natural

resources, fuel etc. in day to day operational activity. These will

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



deteriorating resources and increase emissions of waste in terms of solid,

liquid& gaseous. To control the pollutions from industrial activity,

government has framed regulations which are governed by Ministry of

Environment, Forest & Climate change in India. Environment Impact

analysis is mandatory as per the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA)

notification issued by Ministry of Environment and Forests (MoEF&CC), New

Delhi dated 14th September 2006, and its amendment thereof; for setting

up a new projects or activities, or expansion or modernization of existing

projects or activities based on their potential environmental impacts as

indicated in the schedule to the notification, being undertaken in any part

of India, unless prior environmental clearance has been accorded.

Proposed activity of M/s. Agrico Organics Ltd. falls under the schedule of

5(b) of schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 “Pesticides industry and pesticide

specific intermediates (excluding formulations)” and categorized under “A”.

Therefore, unit requires Environmental Clearance before establishment of

proposed project.

EIA Consultant

In view of the above, legal aspect and monitoring work has been carried

out for all the environmental attributes by M/s. San Envirotech Pvt.

Ltd., Ahmedabad. Draft Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) and

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) have been prepared after obtaining

Terms of References (TORs) from Ministry of Environment, Forests &

Climate Change, New Delhi. The public hearing was held on the basis of

the draft EIA/EMP incorporating the Terms of References. Final EIA/EMP

report after incorporating the comments/suggestions by the public during

public hearing will be submitted to MoEF&CC for Environment Clearance.

1.3 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT & PROJECT PROPONENT

1.8 OBJECTIVE OF EIA

EIA is a policy and management tool for both planning and decision

making. EIA assists in identification, prediction and evaluation of the

foreseeable environmental consequences of proposed developmental and

industrial projects.

The objectives of the present EIA Study is to assess the impacts on various

environmental components due to the proposed project activity, identify

potential source of pollution, evaluate impact on environment and to

recommend appropriate environmental management system and

environment management plan for the unit to ensure that the adverse

impacts if any will be minimized. Moreover, to prepare an Environmental

Statement to indicate conclusively if the overall impacts are positive or

negative.

1.9 METHODOLOGY FOR EIA

Environmental Assessment (EA), another term used in the environmental

studies, refers to an understanding of the present status of environment

and a study of how to manage them. Keeping in view the nature and size

of the proposed project and industrial area and various guidelines

available, it was decided to cover an area of 10-km radius from the center

of proposed plant site for the purpose of environmental impact assessment

study. The methodology is briefly reported below and has been described

in this section.

Baseline data Collection

The baseline data for the impact zone have been generated for the

following environmental parameters:

Ambient Air Quality

Micrometeorology

Noise Levels

Surface and ground water quality



Soil Quality

Flora and fauna

Land use pattern

Socio-economics

The baseline status of the above environmental parameters has been

worked out based on the rapid monitoring/analysis carried out during the

study period of March, 2015 to May, 2015 supplemented by data

collected from various government departments, census publications etc.

The data is collected and analyzed as per the standard methods for

establishing the baseline data and to determine the impact of proposed

activity on the same.

Evaluation of Impact from Project Activities

The environmental Impact resulting from the various project activities,

have been identified, predicted and evaluated based on the study of

manufacturing process and other project related activities as well as

correlating the same with existing baseline status.

Preparation of Environmental Management Plan

Environmental Management plan has been prepared covering pollution

prevention measures at source in terms of air and water pollution control

measures, solid waste/hazardous waste management, safety management,

green belt development, environmental surveillance and environmental

management team. Finally, the detailed assessment of the resultant

environmental impacts have been made based on the impacts identification

and evaluated from the activities over the baseline status of various

environmental components to reduce the pollution and to delineate a

comprehensive environment management plan along with

recommendations and suggestions to improve environment management

system.

Unit proposes to manufacture different type of technical grade pesticides.

As per the EIA Notification-2006 and amendments made thereof; proposed

pesticide products are covered under 5(b) category-Pesticides industry and

pesticide specific intermediates (excluding formulations) and falls under

category “A”. Therefore EC is requiring prior to establishment of

manufacturing facility.

2.3 JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

India's agro-industry has miles to go before it catches up with the rest of

the world. Its share in the agro-products of developing countries has gone

day to day. It is also one of the important sectors globally. Ensuring food

security for population, it is necessitates the use of high yielding variety of

seeds, balanced use of fertilizers, judicious use of quality pesticides along

with education to farmers and the use of modern farming techniques. A

predominantly agricultural economy with 182 million hectares of cultivable

land, India produces more than 200 million tons of food grain every year.

Crops are seasonal and every state has a distinct culture and lifestyle.

Reaching out to 65% of 1 billion people, who depend on agriculture for a

living, is a tremendous challenge. The crop protection chemicals have good

potential in the international market due to quality and cost effectiveness.

The demand of agrochemicals is increasing every year thereby creating

gap between availability and demand as helps in reducing the crop loss,

provides economic benefits to farmers and helps in ensuring food safety

and security for the nation.



In view of the availability of high quality scientific talents at relatively low

cost, the country is also likely to witness contract research and contract

manufacturing activities on increased scale, post patent era.

The domestic formulation market grew accordingly. Nevertheless, the

industry has been highly successful in accelerating exports in general, and

to advanced markets in particular. These factors are main reasons for

setting up new plant at Dahej.

2.4 CAPITAL INVESTMENT

The estimated cost of the proposed project will be around Rs. 70 crores.

Out of which, around Rs. 08 crores will be invested for pollution control

measures and around Rs. 3.0 crores as recurring cost per annum.

2.5 LAND REQUIREMENT

2.14 GENERATION OF POLLUTANTS

The sources of pollution will be as below;

2.14.1 Wastewater Generation

The main source of the industrial wastewater generation will be from

process, floor washing, lab, scrubber & utilities. Total industrial & domestic

wastewater generation will be 535 KLD.

Process & Lab w/w will be evaporated through MEE after primary & tertiary

treatment in ETP. Condensate will be reused. Effluent from washing,

scrubber, utilities (boiler blow down & cooling bleed off) will be treated in

ETP and then passed through RO. RO permeate will be recycled and reject

of RO will be sent to MEE. Thus, there will be no disposal of effluent outside

the premises and unit will achieve zero discharge of effluent.

Domestic w/w will be disposed in soak pit followed by septic tank. The

details of the water consumption and wastewater generation are shown in

Table 2.6.

2.14.2 Gaseous Emission

Main source of gaseous emission will be point source and fugitive emission.

Flue gas emission will be from one common stack of 2 nos. of boilers, one

stack of Thermic Fluid Heater (TFH) and one stack of D.G. setdue to

combustion of fuel. Coal will be used as fuel in boiler and TFH.

Process emission will be from stack attached to incinerator, Process

Reactor of Pretilachlor, Process Reactor of Permethrin, Reactor of

Metalaxyl, Reactor of MCAA, Reactor of IDA-HCl and Reactor of MPBD.

Natural Gas/FO will be used as fuel in incinerator.



Emitted pollutants from flue gas stacks will be PM, SO2 and NOx and

pollutants from process stacks will be PM, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2 & HC.

Unit proposed to install D.G. set of 1000 KVA capacity which will be treated

as standby and use in case of non-availability of power and or emergency,

where Diesel will be used as a fuel. Adequate stack height will be provided.

Probable pollutants likely to emit will be SPM, SO2 and NOx, but it will not

the constant source of emission as it will be used in case of power failure

only. Details of the stacks are given in Table 2.9.

Sources of fugitive emission:

In proposed activities, there will be chances of generation of VOCs, acid

fumes from material handling area, process area, solvent storage area etc.

There will be also changes of generation of PM (Dust) from packing/

finishing area. Details of fugitive emissions (estimated) are given in Table

2.9 (d).

2.14.3 Hazardous/Solid waste generation

There will be seven types of Haz. Waste generation from the proposed

activities i.e. ETP sludge & MEE salt, process residue, spent catalyst,

incineration ash, off specific products, discarded containers/ liners, used

Lubricating Oil.

The quantity of ETP sludge & MEE salt will be 70 MTPM & 170 MTPM,

process residue - 22 MTPM, Spent Catalyst - 1.0 MTPM, Incineration ash-

125 MTPM, Off specific products-as & when generated, Discarded

containers/drums -1200 Nos./month, Liners will be 0.5 MTPM; used

Lubricating oil will be estimated around 1.0 kl/year. The details of the

hazardous wastes with its category are given in Table 2.13.

2.14.4 Noise generation

The main sources of noise pollution will be from operation of boiler, TFH,

D.G. set, process plant and other machineries etc. The noise level in the

unit will be well within the prescribed limit.

2.15 POLLUTION CONTROL STRATEGY

The unit is equally conscious about the pollution control strategy. The

details of pollution control strategy for various parameters are given

hereunder,



2.15.1 Effluent Management


process, scrubber, washing and utilities. The unit will have full-fledged

Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to treat wastewater generated from

production plant and utilities. ETP consist full-fledged primary treatment

plant for treatment of process effluent followed by MEE and primary and

tertiary treatment plants for washing and utilities effluent followed by RO

(Reverse Osmosis). Primary treated effluent will be sent to RO, MEE

andpermeates of RO and recovered condensate water from MEE will be

recycled/reuse. Design details of ETP are given in Table 2.8 and flow

diagram of ETP is given asFigure 2.2& 2.3.

ETP treatment process

Primary Treatment:

Effluent from industrial wastewater will be passed through oil & grease/

solvent trap followed by equalization tanks. In equalization tank, effluent

will be equalized and neutralized using alkali (Hydrated Lime). Then

effluent be passed through flash mixer provided with alum/poly dosing for

coagulation and then to flocculation tank to enhance the formation of flocs.

The effluent will then be led to clarifier to remove solids. The effluent from

primary settling tank will then be led for tertiary treatment and then

evaporated into Multi Effect Evaporator.

Same way, effluent generated from scrubber, washing and utilities will be

equalize and be neutralized using alkali (Hydrated Lime). Then effluent

pumped primary tank to remove solids. The effluent from primary settling

tank will then be led for tertiary treatment and then evaporated into Multi

Effect Evaporator.

Tertiary Treatment (Zero Liquid Discharge)

Effluent after primary treatment will be treated further in reverse osmosis

(RO) plant. Before effluent passing through RO, it will be filtering though

sand filter. RO plant will be based on membrane technology. Permeate

generated from the system will be recycled and reused in the plant.

Rejects generated from RO plant will be evaporated in multiple effect

evaporators. Condensate i.e. water evaporated from multiple effect

evaporator will also be recycled and reused in the plant. Solid separated in



Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) and dried sludge will be sent to common

TSDF site along with ETP sludge.

Details of RO

Process block diagram for effluent treatment system with zero liquid

discharge system is given in figure 2.2 & 2.3.

Effluent treated in primary effluent treatment plant will be fed to advance

Plate Tube RO plant after passing through sand filters. PT membrane

module systems have been successful in the recovery of reusable permeate

from effluent thereby reducing overall hydraulic load of discharge by way

of recycling of treated effluent. The plate Tube RO system is having high

tolerance against fouling, high recovery rate and high rejection qualities

which is unique in the efficient treatment of industrial effluent. The unique

modular construction and its method of operation, enhances the membrane

performance and reduces organic and inorganic coatings on the

membranes. The pre-filtration unit consists of an upstream pressure pump,

a multi-layer reversible flow filter system and downstream multiple

cartridge filters. The untreated water quality after mechanical pre-filtration

is sufficiently good for the operation of PT module system. Due to the

hydraulic arrangement of the PT moduleand the excellent chemical

resistance of the membranes used, chemical conditioning of the untreated

water is usually eliminated.

Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) & Agitated Thin Film Drier (ATFD)

MEE

Process effluent after primary treatment and Reject from RO will be led to

MEE. There will be preheaters to heat the feed. Feed will be introduced into

pre-heaters which are connected to the shell side condenser and the

calendrias. Inpre-heater feed is sequentially preheated before feeding to

calendria for concentration.

The preheated feed is then fed to Calendria top. The concentrate from this

calendria is fed toanother Calendria for further concentration and so on.

The final product of evaporator is taken outfrom last Calendria.

Steam is used on motive side of TVR which sucks vapours from second

stage vapour separatorand mixed vapour are introduced on shell side of

first stage calendria as heating medium. Balance evaporated vapours from



second calendria are used as heating medium in third calendria.

Evaporated vapour from first Calendria is used as a heating medium for

second calendria and soon. Evaporated vapour from third Calendria is used

as a heating medium for another calendria. Evaporated vapour from last

calendria is finally condensed in condenser where cooling water isused as

cooling medium.

Condensate from first Calendria is flashed on shell side of second Calendria

and so on. A common pump is provided to take condensate out. Non-

condensable from each shell are drawn and sent to condenser.

Uncondensed non-condensable are sent out by vacuum pump hooked up to

the condenser. Concentrate from MEE is collected and led to ATFD.

ATFD

Concentrate from MEE will be led to ATFD to get dry powder. ATFD is a

jacketed vessel with arotor inside to continuously wipe the evaporation

surface. Feed is introduced on the top disc of the rotor. There is a feed

distributor of rotary type. Slits in the disc throw the liquid to wall of vessel

due tocentrifugal action and uniformly distribute the same. Steam is

introduced on the jacket side as the heating medium. Wiper blades

mounted on the rotor continuously wipes the feed traveling on thewall

inside. The feed starts evaporating and the wipers remove deposition of

product on inner walland try to maintain heat transfer area clean. The

solids are collected at bottom.

Steam condensing on jacket side is drained out through steam trap. The

vapours generated inside travel to the condenser where they get

condensed on the condenser tubes. Cooling water is circulated in

condenser as coolant. The condensate is separately collected at bottom

and is taken out by condensate pump. The vacuum connection (negative

pressure) to the system maintains required vacuum in system through an

induction blower normally.

Treatment of Toxic &Cyanide containing stream:

Effluent treatment plant for Cyanide removal Effluent from the plant is

collected in FRP tanks at plant level. Initially, its pH is lowered to 2.0 pH by

adding Sulphuric Acid. Acidic effluent is then heated with the help of direct

steam. Then pH of effluent is maintained between 4 to 5 by adding soda



ash. At this stage toxic and complex cyanides get precipitated and are

allowed to settle in bottom. The clear solutions in vessel which contain

traces cyanide are detoxified by the addition sodium hypochlorite 8-10%

solution. This treatment will reduce cyanide level in effluent up to 0.2 ppm

level which is then mixed up with main effluent treatment streams (ETP).

Bottom residue containing heavy organics & Phenol compound will be

incinerated in in-house Incinerator.

2.15.2 Air Pollution Control Measures

Sources of emissions will be flue gas emission from one common stack of 2

nos. of boilers, TFH and D.G. Setdue combustion of fuel. Coal will be used

as fuel in boiler and TFH. Diesel will be used as fuel in D.G. Set. Cyclone

and Bag filter is used as APCM in stack attached to boiler and TFH.

Emission will be well within the prescribed norms. Emitted pollutants from

flue gas stack will be PM, SO2 and NOX.

Alkali scrubber will be installed to the stack attached to incinerator. Water

scrubber followed by alkali scrubber will be installed to stack attached to

Process Reactor of Pretilachlor, Process Reactor of Permethrin, Reactor of

Metalaxyl, Reactor of MCAA, Reactor of IDA-HCl and Reactor of MPBD. Main

pollutants emitted from process will be PM, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2 & HC.

Unit also proposes adequate stack height to flue gas stacks & process

stacks for proper dispersion of gaseous emission as per SPCB guideline.

Thus, air pollution control system proposed by the unit will be adequate to

meet gaseous emission norms. The details of stacks with their APC

measures & height are given in Table 2.9.

Fugitive Emission Control

To control fugitive emission, following steps will be implemented in the

proposed unit:

Adequate scrubbing system to absorb the process gas, condensing

systems.

Entire process will be carried out in closed reactors.

Pneumatically transfer of liquid raw material in rector.

Raw material will be stored in the covered structure.

Regular maintenance of valves, pipes etc.

PPE will be provided to the workers.



Frequent work area monitoring will be done ensure fugitive emissions

level.

Greenbelt will be developed around the plant to arrest the fugitive

emission.

2.15.3 Hazardous/Solid Waste Management

Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as per

Hazardous & Other waste (Management & Handling) Rules, 2016. ETP

sludge, MEE salt & Incineration ash will be disposed by land filling at

approved TSDF site. Process residue & Off specific products will be

incinerated in our own incinerator. Spent catalyst will be sent for

regeneration to suppliers. Discarded containers/liners will be used for

packing of ETP sludge in case of excess it will be sold to authorized

recycler. Used Lubricating Oil will be sent to registered recyclers.

Entire quantity of the hazardous waste will be stored in the isolated

hazardous waste storage area within premises having leachate collection

system and roof cover. Details of hazardous waste disposal are given in

Table2.13.

2.15.4 Noise Pollution Control

The main noise generating sources in the plant will be boiler, reaction

vessels, APC system, D.G. set, plant & machinery etc. All these sources will

generate continuous noise. However, the noise transmitted outside the

plant boundary will be low because most of the noise generating

equipment will be in closed structures with low noise sources. Ear muff, ear

plug will be provided to all workers working at noisy area.

2.16 RESOURCE CONSERVATION

2.16.1 Rain Water Harvesting

Rain Water Harvesting is a method of utilizing rain water for domestic and

agricultural use is already widely used throughout the world. It is a method

which has been used since ancient times and is increasingly being accepted

as a practical method of providing potable water in development projects

throughout the world. Improve the ground water in Industrial area is one

of the main problems which is being faced by developed countries of the

world.



In Industrial area, charging of underground water in natural way like rural

areas is not taking place due to large sprawl of Industrial activities. But it is

feasible by injecting the water by percolating wells. To considering the

Industrial area and various types of activities may contaminate the rain

water, recharging the rain water by injecting the rain water to underground

aquifers is not advisable. Unit will partial reuse the rain water collect from

rooftop during the rainy season.

2.16.2 Green Belt Development

Total land area is 46560.13 m2. Unit proposes to develop greenbelt in area

of 15365 m2 and it will be 33% of the total area of the project.

Description of the Environment

3.1 Prelude

To assess environmental impacts from proposed project at a specific

location, it is essential to monitor the environmental quality prevailing in

the surrounding area prior to implementation of the proposed project. The

environmental status within the impact zone could be used for

identification of significant environmental issues to be addressed in the

impact assessment study.

In order to identify and establish the extent of likely impacts, it is essential

to gather information on existing environmental quality with regard to

various components of the environment.

3.1.1 Study area

M/s. Agrico Organics Ltd. is a new unit proposed to be located at Plot No.

D-2/CH/12/C, Dahej-II Industrial Estate, Dahej, Tehsil: Vagra, Dist.

from the center of the proposed project.

3.1.2 Period of the Study area

The baseline study of the project was carried out during March, 2015 to

May, 2015 within 10 km radius from the center of the project site.

3.1.3 Basic Component of the Environment

The basic component of study of the present environment is obligatory to

predict the environmental impact on the study area; therefore it is

necessary to discriminate the various components of which Environment

made. Environment consists of Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere and

Biosphere. These Environment components have been considered for the

study of the Existing environment.

They are as follows:

(I) Lithosphere: It includes the terrain and landscape study. Such as

a) Topography and Geology of the study area

(II) Hydrosphere or Water Environment: It includes water quality of the

study area by means of –



a) Surface water quality

b) Ground water quality

(III) Atmosphere or Air Environment: Atmospheric condition mainly depend

upon the -

a) Climatic condition, and

b) Micrometeorological data such as wind, temperature, humidity,

Rainfall etc. of the project area.

(IV) Biosphere: Ecological systems consist of varieties of interrelationship

between both abiotic and biotic components including dependence,

competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprises of both plant and

animal communities, which interact not only within and between

themselves but also with the abiotic physical and chemical components of

the environment. Whereas biotic component includes study of -

a) Fauna: Study of the Animal

b) Flora: Study of the Plant

(V) Other Component: Other component of the surrounding area includes

Socio-Economic data and noise level data of the surrounding area.

aspects of the socio-economic environment that are valued by people. Land

and Resource Use, Population, Infrastructure and Services, Economy,

personal, Family and Community Life.

Above all components are taken into consideration while carried out EIA

study.

3.3 Air Environment

The impact on air environment would depend and has been identified on

the basis of identification of sources of air pollution from various process

operations; the nature of pollutants and their quantities likely to be

discharged to the atmosphere; and the baseline data on air quality.

The baseline data on air quality and micrometeorological conditions of the

area surrounding the project site have been generated through an

appropriately designed network for monitoring of Ambient Air Quality

(AAQ) within the zone of likely impacts.



3.3.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations

The following criteria were taken into account while designing the ambient

air quality-monitoring network:

Topography/Terrain of the study area

Populated areas within the region

Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their likely

occurrence under prevailing meteorological conditions

Representation of regional background

Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in downwind

direction

3.3.2 Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air

environment in the study region. The prime objective of the NAAQ survey,

within 10 km radial study area around the plant was to establish the

existing ambient air quality levels. Eight Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

(AAQM) stations were selected based on the criteria used for designing the

network. The locations (relative directions and distances) of these stations

with respect to project site are given in Table 3.7 and details of these

stations are shown in Figure 3.6.

The Particulate Matter (PM10), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide

(SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), VOCs, HC, HCl & NH3 were identified as

significant parameters for ambient air quality monitoring, particularly

because these are likely to be emitted from the industries and for which

ambient air quality standards are prescribed. The micrometeorological data

on wind speed, wind direction, temperature and relative humidity were

collected through a weather monitoring station for the study period. The

baseline status of air quality was monitored within the study area i.e. 10

Km radial distance from project site as per the latest regulatory guidelines.

3.3.3 Micrometeorology of the area

The micrometeorological conditions at the project site will regulate the

transport and diffusion of air pollutants released into the atmosphere. The

principle meteorological variables are horizontal convective transport

(average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport



(atmospheric stability, mixing height) and topography of the area. The

data on surface meteorological parameters (hourly average wind speed and

direction) in the study area were collected during the March-2015 to

May-2015 using portable weather monitoring station placed at industry

site. The sensors of this equipment were kept at about 10 m above ground

level with free exposure to the atmosphere all through the study period. In

addition, data on temperature as well relative humidity were also recorded

simultaneously using a data logger.

Wind Rose (Secondary data)

The 24 hourly wind rose was prepared using the data on wind direction and

speed collected during March, 2015 to May, 2015 in the study area. The

same, as depicted in Figure 3.7, shows the predominant wind directions

are S, SW, WNW, NW implying that winds come from these directions for

most of the time during the period. The wind speed class 1-5 kmph

occurred for 12.05%, 6-10 kmph about 17.12%, 11-15 kmph 24.23% and

above 15 kmph and below 40 kmph occurred for 27.94% of the study

duration and of the time. The calm condition (below 1 kmph) prevails

18.7% of time. The wind data generated at site were also compared with

the climatologically data obtained from the nearest Indian Meteorological

Department station at Surat. The local prevailing wind pattern during the

study period is in conformity with the climatologically normal of the region.

Temperature (Primary data)

During the study period, the maximum temperature was recorded as

44.9°C and minimum was 18.6°C.

Relative Humidity (Primary data)

During study period, the maximum relative humidity was recorded as 85%

and min. was 10%.

Rainfall (Primary data)

No rainfall during the study period at project site.

3.3.4 Ambient Air Quality Survey

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at eight AAQM

locations, with a frequency of twice a week to assess the existing

sub-regional air quality status during the period of March, 2015 to May,



2015. The Respirable Dust Sampler and Fine Particulate Sampler along

with the analytical methods prescribed by CPCB were used for carrying out

air quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2,

NOx, VOCs, HC, HCl & NH3 were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable

the comparison with ambient air quality standards prescribed by the

Central Pollution Control Board.

The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for

different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation,

minimum and maximum concentration and various percentile values.

3.3.5 Baseline Status

The existing baseline levels with respect to PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, VOCs,

HC, HCl & NH3 are presented in Tables 3.9 to 3.13 with interpretation of

statistical analysis of observed ambient air quality data for eight locations.

Presented results, represent the cross sectional distribution of baseline air

quality status of the study region.

Particulate Matter (PM10)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all the

locations varied between 55.5-67.6 g/m3 and 60.3-77.0 g/m3, which are

well within the stipulated standard of CPCB, 100 g/m3.

Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM2.5 values at all the

locations varied between 28.5-35.6 g/m3 and 33.8-41.7 g/m3, which are

well within the stipulated standard of CPCB, 60 g/m3.

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of arithmetic

mean at all the locations ranged between 14.8-19.6 g/m3 and 18.6-24.5

g/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated standards of 80

g/m3.

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of arithmetic


g/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the standards stipulated by

CPCB, i.e. 80 g/m3.



3.4 Hydro-geological status of the study area

Average rainfall of Bharuch districts for last ten years is 658 mm. Narmada

is the main River of the district. All these rivers meet to Arabian Sea in the

west.

Geologically, the district is mainly divided in to two types of rocks. Western

side taluka of Bharuch district such as Jambusar, Amod, Vagra, Bharuch,

Ankleshwar & Hansot represent alluvial formation. The strata made up

mainly of black and yellow clay and layers of different size of sand.

The eastern side of Valia and southwest part of Jhagadia taluka is made up

of Basalt rocks. At places like East of Jhagadia & south, south-west of

Rajpardi Lignite type of coal is available whereas in south-west of Jhagadia

Agate stone also mined.

Geohydrologically the coastal area of Bharuch district falls in saline zone

due to its location on the Coast of Arabian Sea. While the western part,

away from coast, comprises of alluvial formation and yields potable water.

Bores are drilled up to 90 to 120 Mts. depths. In hard rock area (South-

West part of Jhagadia and East part of Valia) DTH bores are drilled for

installation of hand pumps. The depth of bores is 80.0 to 90.0 mts.

3.5 Water Environment

Water is one of the essential requirements of living elements. Also it is an

essential requirement for many of the industrial activities. The change in

quality of water may bring about an adverse impact on the entire

environment. Due to their physical, chemical and biological interrelations,

change in water quality parameter may trigger changes in other variables.

Physico-chemical parameters have been analyzed to ascertain the baseline

status of fresh water. There are mainly two types of water available in the

region: surface water and ground water.

Surface Water: There are surface water bodies like lakes, pond/reservoir

in the study area. Surface water samples were collected from Vadadala

Pond, Kadodara Pond, Vav Pond, and Galenda Pond. Table 3.16 shows the

analysis of the same.

Ground water: Ground water is the major/important source of water

supply in the study area. Water samples have been collected from



Vadadala, Galenda, Jolva, Vav, Kadodara, Rahiyad, Nadarkha and Narnavi

village. Table 3.15 shows the analysis of the same.

3.5.1 Ground Water Quality (Primary data)

Collected water samples were analyzed for various desirable characteristics

of ground water. Sampling location is shown in Figure 3.8. The results are

shown in Table 3.15.

Color: All the samples were colorless meeting desirable norms.

pH: All the samples meet the desirable standards (pH ranges from 7.21 to

7.96).

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS in samples ranges from 1830 mg/L

(Narnavi) to 3174 mg/L (Vadadala). All the samples exceed the permissible

limit of 2000 mg/L (Except Nadarkha & Narnavi), (If alternate sources of

potable water are not available).

Calcium: Calcium contents in the water ranges from 116 mg/L (Nadarkha)

to 196 mg/L (Narnavi), all the samples meet the permissible limit of 200

mg/L. (If alternate sources of potable water are not available). Magnesium: Magnesium content in the water ranges from 52 mg/L

(Narnavi) to 81 mg/L (Vav). All the samples meet even the permissible

limit of 100 mg/L (if alternate source of potable water in not available).

Sulphate: Sulphate content in the water ranges from 181 mg/L

(Nadarkha) to 469 mg/L (Vadadala). All the samples meet the permissible

limit of 400 mg/L (Except Vadadala, Vav & Rahiyad) for drinking water.

Fluoride: Fluoride content in the water ranges from 0.43 mg/L (Rahiyad)

to 0.77 mg/L (Vav). All the samples meet the permissible limit (1.5 mg/L).

Total Alkalinity: Total alkalinity in the water samples ranges from 201

mg/L (Vav) to 314 mg/L (Nadarkha). All the samples are within the

permissible limit of drinking water (600 mg/L) (if alternate source of

portable water is not available).

Other Parameters: Potassium (ranges from 15 mg/L to 77 mg/L),

Sodium (ranges from 494 mg/L to 785 mg/L) and Chloride (ranges from

947 mg/L to 1218 mg/L).

Heavy metals like copper, lead, chromium and zinc are found below

detectable limit in all samples.



Conclusions: Ground water samples from villages meet the permissible

limit set by the authority (BIS), except parameters like TDS, Sulphate, and

Chloride & Hardness. The observed higher concentration of TDS & its

related parameters is due to proximity of sea (Gulf of Khambhat). Indian

Standard specification for drinking water is given in Table 3.18.

3.6 Noise Environment (Primary data)

3.6.1 Introduction

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and

hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise annoying.

The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has an adverse

effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can also disturb

natural wildlife and ecological system.

Sound is mechanical energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by cyclic

series of compression and rarefaction of molecules of the materials through

which it passes. Sound can be transmitted through gases, liquids and

solids. The number of compressions and refractions of the air molecules in

the unit of time is described as its frequency. Frequency is expressed in

hertz (Hz), which is the same as the number of cycles per second.

3.6.2 Methodology

To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was

conducted using Sound Level Meter at each of the eight locations including

the plant site as shown in Figure 3.9.

3.6.3 Day-Time and Night-Time Noise Levels

Noise survey was carried out once at each of the eight locations in the day

and night time during the study period. Table 3.19 depicts average

Leq(day) and Leq(night) noise levels for all locations.

3.6.4 Ambient Air Quality Standards in Respect of Noise

Ministry of Environment and Forest has notified the ambient standards in

respect of noise in Gazette of India dated 14th February, 2000. Table 3.20

depicts these standards in respect of noise.

3.6.5 Ambient Noise Levels in the Study Area

The Leq values of noise levels during day-time varied from 41.9 dB(A) to

60.8 dB(A). Highest Leq daytime value was recorded near plant site. The Leq



values of noise levels during night time varied from 37.7 dB(A) to 53.4

dB(A). Highest Leq value during night time was also recorded at plant site.

3.6.6 Conclusions

The hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study area

show considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic movement,

commercial and domestic activities in the study area. In the study area

higher Noise value during day time was noted Nr. Project site, but it is less

than the Ambient standards of Industrial area for day time {75 dB (A)} and

highest results in night time was also recorded Nr. Project site, which is

also less than the prescribed limit of Industrial area for night time {70 dB

(A)}.

3.7 Soil Environment (Primary data)

3.7.1 Introduction

Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust that serves as a

natural medium for the growth of plants. 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 provide mechanical anchorage and favorable tilth.

The study area has more or less flat topography. The soil analysis results

show that the soil is a fertile land.

The study area has soil with the following physical and chemical

characteristics.

3.7.2 Soil Characteristics

Samples of soil were collected from seven locations (Near Project Site,

Vadadala, Galenda, Jolva, Vav, Kadodara, Rahiyad) during the study period

and these locations are shown in Figure 3.10.

The values of important physical and chemical parameters of these soil

samples are depicted in Table 3.21. From the tabulated values, the

following conclusions can be made about the physical and chemical

characteristics of these soil samples.



3.7.3 Corollaries

Physical Parameters

Particle Size: A Particle size of the different constituents (clay, silt, sand

and gravel) controls the porosity and water holding characteristic of the

soil. Clay (size < 0.002 mm) amount in the soil samples ranges from 29%

to 41%; Silt (size 0.002 to 0.075 mm) in the soil samples is 28% to 41%

and Sand (size 0.075 to 0.475 mm) in the soil samples is 14% to 24%;

while Gravel (size > 4.75 mm) in the soil samples is 09% to 13%. Analysis

shows that the soil has moderate water holding capacity.

Porosity: Porosity is a measure of space in between soil particles caused

by structural conditions and determined under identical conditions. Porosity

of soil samples of the study area ranges from 44.3 to 49.5%.

Water Holding Capacity (WHC): Water holding capacity (WHC) of soil

samples of the study area ranges between 37.3% to 43.9% and these

being sandy soils are not capable of retaining sufficient water during

irrigation for facilitating the plant growth.

Bulk Density: Bulk Density of soils in the study area is found to be in the

range from 1.24 to 1.37 g/cm3. Bulk density is of greater importance for

characterizing the physical behavior of soils. Generally, soils with low bulk

density have favorable physical conditions (porosity and permeability)

whereas those with high bulk density exhibit poor physical conditions.

Chemical Parameters

pH: pH of soils in the study area is found to be in the range of 7.55 to

8.17.

Chloride: Chloride content in soils of the study area is found to be in the

range of 134 to 225 mg/kg.

Soluble Calcium: The soluble calcium as CaCO3 in soil samples is found to

be in the range of 35 to 55 mg/kg.

Magnesium: Magnesium content in soil samples of the study area ranges

from 21 to 34 mg/kg.

Available Phosphorus: Available Phosphorus content in soil samples of

the study area ranges from 61 to 88 mg/kg.



Available Nitrogen: Available nitrogen content in soil samples of the

study area is found to be in the range from 118 to 149 mg/kg.

Potassium: Potassium content in soil samples of the study area is found

to be in the range from 18 to 35 mg/kg.

Sodium: Sodium content in soil samples of the study area is found to be in

the range from 82 to 144 mg/kg.

Total Organic Matter (TOM): Total organic matter content in soil

samples of the study area is found to be in the range of 1.25 to 1.53

mg/kg.

3.8 Ecology (Primary data)

A detailed flora fauna study was carried out in 10 km radius area of the

site. The structure and type of vegetation depends on climatic conditions

and physiography of an area. Climate of the study area is suited for the

variety of vegetation. The contents of this subsection are based primarily

on reconnaissance survey carried out by the team of San Envirotech Pvt.

Ltd. & through secondary sources.

3.8.1 Period of the study

The baseline study, for the assessment of the floral and faunal biodiversity

of the terrestrial environment of the study area, within 10 km radius of the

site was conducted during March-2015 to May-2015.

3.8.2 Study methodology

The study region was earmarked for 10 km radius area for baseline data.

The survey methodology was based on the flora and fauna species

identification in personal and recently recorded and found in the region by

the localities. Sampling of grass species was carried out by quadrat

sampling method to examine the species distribution and its frequency in

the region.

Quadrat Sampling Method:

A quadrat (or plot-based) survey is a quantitative examination of species

distribution and abundance. Quadrats are more likely to detect

inconspicuous or threatened species because a smaller area is sampled in a

concentrated search. This survey technique also provides a basis for

subsequent monitoring. The survey was carried out for the vegetation



ground cover found in the road edges by 1 m2 quadrat and study on the

edge effect due to rapid industrialization and urbanization. The results and

findings of the same are discussed in the following sections.

3.8.3 Floral diversity in the study area

The vegetation of this area was represented by tall trees, middle layer

trees and shrubs, ground layer of herbaceous and twiners and climbers.

This biodiversity is the natural biological capital of the earth and presents

important opportunities for all nations. It provides goods and services

essential to support human livelihoods and aspirations and enables

societies to adapt to changing needs and circumstances. In addition,

biodiversity maintains the ecological balance necessary for planetary and

human survival. The species of floral diversity observed in the study area

were identified and presented in the Table 3.23 of this report.

3.8.4 Faunal Diversity in the study area

For the documentation of the faunal biodiversity of the study area with

respect to birds, reptiles, amphibians sps.; a baseline survey had been

conducted for the study area of 10 km radius. A faunal biodiversity with

their scientific names and common names is presented in Table 3.24.

3.9 Socio Economic & Land use (Secondary data)

3.9.1 Land use pattern and infrastructure

The land use pattern indicates the manner in which different parts of land

in an area is being utilized or non-utilized. It is an important indicator of

environmental health; human activity and a degree of inter play between

these two. Even though the soil quality, water availability and climate have

strong influence on agriculture and vegetation, the human activity may

alter the natural environment to a large extent to suit human needs.

Unnatural land use often triggers rapid environmental deterioration and

disturbs ecological balance. In census records, major land use

classifications are; Forests, Culturable land, Culturable wasteland and area

not available for cultivation. Culturable land is further classified as:

irrigated and un-irrigated. Area not available for cultivation includes lands

put to non-agriculture uses as well as barren and uncultivable lands.



The main land use in area is for dwellings, infrastructure and related

activities. However, the land use pattern for rural areas is discussed below.

The information is preliminary based on 2001 Census as depicting in Table

3.26. Total land area is 32251.3 ha, out of that Irrigated area is 18 ha. It

constitutes 0.055% of the total land area. Land has got irrigation facilities

from tank water and government canal. 14971.6 ha are un-irrigated by

source and it constitutes 46.42% of total land area. The study area consist

of Cultivable wasteland is 3045.5 ha (9.44%). Area not available for

cultivation is 14216.4 ha & it constitute 44.08%.

3.9.2 Demographic and Socio-Economic Environment

The demographic and Socio-economic details of the study area are

discussed below. These are primarily based on census data of 2001. Data

on number of households, population as well as literacy and employment

pattern in the study area have been presented in Table 3.27. The

employment pattern in the area is indicator of number of persons employed

in various sectors. It also indicates the various categories of employment

flourishing in the area. The Study area in 10 km radius has 25 villages

including project site.

The total no. of household in the villages are 5854 and the total population

is 27672 (53.18% men & 46.82% women). 61.50% of are literate while

literacy rate among women & men is 23.30% & 38.20% respectively.

29.31% of male population is part of main worker, while only 4.84% of

female population is a part of main workers. 3.02% of male workers are

marginal workers, while 9.63% of female workers are engaged in such type

of activities. 20.84% of male population and 32.35% of female population

are non-workers.

3.9.3 Living Standard and Infrastructure

In India it is not possible to setup a primary standard of living because of

wide variations in terms of income, economic conditions, social custom,

employment opportunity, pattern of spending, etc. However, availability of

amenities like education, medical, water supply, communication, road

network, electricity, etc. significantly reflects the level of development of

the area. Information on available amenities in the study area has been



extracted from census record of 2001. Total numbers of village in study

area are 25. On the basis of data presented in the Table 3.28, the status

of available amenities is discussed in following sub-sections:

Educational Facilities

As per 2001 census, there are 23 primary schools, 3 Higher Secondary

schools and 2 colleges in all 25 villages.

Medical Facilities

25 villages in the study area have 5 Hospitals, 3 Maternity and Child

Welfare Centre, 4 primary health sub centers, 4 Family Welfare Centre, 24

Common Health Worker, 2 Primary Health Centre, 4 Registered Private

Medical Practitioner and 1 Dispensary in study area of 10 km.

Drinking Water Supply

All the villages in the study area have two or more sources of drinking

water. Most of the villages in study area have Well water supply in addition

to Tap water (almost all). Moreover all villages have facility of Well water

and some villages have hand pump, river, tank water, tube well or other

facilities for water.

Communication and Transport

The main mode of public transport available in the study area is by bus

service. All villages have approach to railway station as western railway

meter gauge line is passing through nearby. Majority of villages in the

study area is connected with pucca road.

Post and Telegraph

As per 2001 census record out of 25 villages in study area, almost all the

villages have post office facility at doorstep & phone facility.

Power Supply

As per 2001 census record all the villages are getting power supply for all

purposes.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts &

Mitigation Measures 4.1 GENERAL

Environmental Impact can be defined as any change in environmental

conditions which may be adverse or beneficial; occurred due to action or

set of actions under consideration.

It can be assessed by identifying the sources of the impact and predicting

the same. The identification of environmental impacts has been made by

co-relating the relationship between project activity and environmental

parameters. As a part of present EIA study, anticipated environmental

impacts associated with the proposed project activity of the unit have been

identified. The project activities of the proposed project are usually divided

into two phases: Construction Phase and Operation Phase. For evaluation

of impacts due to proposed activities, baseline data has been utilized.

Changes in the environmental parameters & their impact in terms of short

term or long term, positive or negative, reversible & irreversible are

identified & predicted.

The next step is prediction of impacts, which is an important component in

environmental impact assessment process. Several techniques and

methodologies are in vogue for predicting the impacts due to proposed

industrial development on physical, chemical, biological and socio-

economic components of environment. Such predictions delineate

contribution in existing baseline condition for the proposed project. The

additional impacts due to proposed activities are analyzed by keeping in

mind the baseline status. This helps to assess the assimilative capacity of

the environment and in turn the gravity of the impacts. Based on the

identification & prediction of the nature of impact, the impact can be

evaluated qualitatively and quantitatively.

In this chapter, the effect due to construction & operational activity of the

proposed project is explained.



4.2 IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENT ATTRIBUTES

There are various types of impacts arise due to the proposed activities

which will be evaluated considering the following environment parameters

in construction and operational phase,

Impact on Topography

Impact on Air Environment

Impact on Water Environment

Impact on Noise Environment

Impact on Land Environment (Hazardous/solid waste generation)

Impact on Biological Environment

Impact on Socio-Economic Environment

4.3 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACT

This chapter deals with the assessment of project impacts on environment.

Mitigation measures are suggested to minimize the likely negative impacts.

The network method (Cause - effect) was adopted to identify potential

impact of the proposed activity. It includes step wise study of relationship

between an activity and its environmental parameters. This method

involves in the “Road Map” type of approach to the identification of second

and third order effect. The basic idea is to account for the project activity

and identify the type of impact that could initially occur followed by the

identification of secondary and tertiary impact.

The project will have impacts of varying magnitude on different

environmental components. These impacts could be categorized as-

Primary impacts, i.e. impacts which occur as a direct result of the

project activities.

Secondary and tertiary impacts, i.e. impacts that occur as a result of

primary impacts.

4.4 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY

Project activities include excavation of soil in the plant area and

construction of shed and storage facilities. The area of the proposed plant

is flat terrain. During construction, excavated soil will be restored to its

original shape. Thus, the impact during the construction is reversible, for

short term and insignificant.



During the operation phase of the project, no impact is envisaged on the

topography. Thus, topography will remain unchanged after proposed set up

of unit.

4.5 IMPACT ON AIR ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction Phase impact & mitigation measures

Impact on air environment during construction phase is likely to occur due

to dusting & air borne particles of construction material. Civil work will be

carried out for the proposed project. This will resulted to generation of dust

particles during the site preparation works like leveling, back filling etc.

However, the dust will not be expected to spread too far beyond the site

boundary. Water sprinkling will be done to suppress the airborne dust.

Vehicular movement associated with the construction phase of the project

for transportation of construction material also has minor impacts on

ambient air quality. The impacts due the emission & dust would be

restricted to the project site and it will be of short term & restricted to the

construction phase only. Several measures will be taken to protect workers

like PPEs will be given to workers working in dust generating areas.

The impacts on the ambient air quality during construction phase will be

temporarily for short duration and reversible in nature and restricted to

small area only. Hence looking to the overall facts described above, it can

be concluded that, the impacts on air due to the construction & erection

activities will be minimum or negligible & by implementing the proper

mitigation measures.

b. Operational phase impact & mitigation measures

Long term impacts on the air quality are anticipated due to operational

activities. The impacts on air quality from project depends on various

factors like process technology, operation and maintenance, raw material,

fuel to be used, air pollution control measures. For the study of impact

assessment especially for Air Environment all probable emissions are

studied including secondary & fugitive emissions. The emission from the

project is studied for all emission identified.

The sources and expected emission level are described below:



4.5.1 Emission from proposed project

The emissions from project area were studied for the assessment of impact

on air environment. The details of the emission along with the mitigation

measures are described below. Main source of gaseous emission will be

from common stack attached to 2 nos. of boilers and one stack of thermic

fluid heater. Coal will be used as fuel. Cyclone with bag filter will be

provided as Air Pollution Control Measure. Other source of flue gas

emission will be from standby D. G. Set with power generation capacity of

1000 kVA. Diesel with consumption of 35 Lt/hr. will be used.




Natural Gas/FO will be used as fuel in incinerator. Scrubbers will be

installed as APCM to control process emission.

Emitted pollutants from flue gas stacks will be PM, SO2 and NOx and

pollutants from process stacks will be PM, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2 & HC.

Adequate stack height to the flue gas stack will be provided for proper

dispersion of gaseous emission. Estimated emission levels of stack are

given in Table 4.1. Prediction of change in Ground level concentrations of

pollutants emitted from the above stacks is the most efficient tool to

assess the impacts of emission which has been carried out using ISCST-3

model of United State Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA).

4.5.2 Dispersion Modeling of Emissions from the plant

In order to predict the impact of air pollutants on ambient air quality,

ISCST3 model (Industrial Source Complex – Short Term (ISCST3)

dispersion model) of United State Environmental Protection Agency

(USEPA) and considering guidelines stipulated by CPCB for air pollution

dispersion modeling. The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the

ground level concentration during the operation of proposed activities and

its impact on ambient air quality of the area. Mathematical model used for

predictions of impact includes steady state Gaussian Plume Dispersion

model designed for multiple point sources.



The key emitted pollutants will be Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM),

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxide (NOx), HCl & Cl2.

4.5.3 Air Quality Modeling and Predictions using the Gaussian Model

The impact on air quality due to emissions from single source or group of

sources is evaluated by use of mathematical models. When air pollutants

are emitted into the atmosphere, they are immediately diffused into

surrounding atmosphere, transported and diluted due to winds. The air

quality models are designed to simulate these processes mathematically

and to relate emissions of primary pollutants to the resulting downwind air

quality. The inputs include emissions, meteorology and surrounding

topographic details to predict the impacts of conservative pollutants.

The impacts of air pollutants were predicted using Gaussian air dispersion

model, which is selected on the basis of existence of multiple point sources

within the industrial complex and the plain terrain at the project site. The

Gaussian air dispersion model has been developed to simulate the effect of

emissions from point sources on air quality. Gaussian model is extensively

used for predicting the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) of conservative

pollutants from point, area and volume sources. The impacts of primary air

pollutants are predicted using this air quality model keeping in view the

plain terrain at the project site. The micrometeorological data monitored at

project site during study period have been used in this model.

The Gaussian model provides estimates of pollutant concentrations at

various receptor locations. It is, an hour-by-hour steady state Gaussian

model which takes into account the following:

Terrain adjustments

Stack-tip downwash

Gradual plume rise

Buoyancy-induced dispersion, and

Complex terrain treatment and consideration of partial reflection

Plume reflection off elevated terrain

Building down wash

Partial penetration of elevated inversions is accounted for Hourly

source emission rates, exit velocity and stack gas temperature



Gaussian air dispersion models were used to estimate the ambient air

quality levels at the different monitoring stations due to stack emissions.

Only two stability conditions based on the meteorology aspects were used

to calculate the theoretical maximum ground level concentration.

Comparing the actual data and data generated from mathematical

modeling, it highlights that the stability condition E & A-B were

predominant in the region. Using the estimated stack emission data and

wind speed directions, a mathematical model was prepared to establish the

ground level concentration in the region.

4.5.4 Micrometeorology

The hourly wind speed, solar insolation and total cloudiness during day

time and wind speed and total cloudiness during night time were used to

determine the hourly atmospheric stability classes (defined by Pasquill and

Gifford as A to F, A being most unstable and F being most stable). The

hourly stability classes were determined based on the technique suggested

by Turner.

Turner’s system used for determining the stability classes is as follows:

- For day or night: If total cloud cover (TC) = 10/10 and ceiling <7000

ft (2134 m), NR=0

- For night-time (defined as period from one hour before sunset to one

hour after sunrise):

a) If TC<4/10, use NR = -2

b) If TC>4/10, use NR = -1

- For daytime: determine isolation class number (IN)

a) If TC<5/10, use NR=IN

b) If TC>5/10, modify IN by the sum of the following applicable criteria

If ceiling<7000 ft (2134m), modification = -2

If ceiling>7000 ft but <16000 ft (4877 m), modification = -1

- If TC=10/10 and ceiling>7000 ft, modification = -1, and let modified

value of IN=NR, except for day-time NR cannot be <+1.

During the study period, stability calculated based on above-mentioned

Turner method gives average stability as A-B class during Day time and E



class during Night time. Average micro meteorological data of March,

2015 to May, 2015 is used.

4.5.5 Details of Air Dispersion Model

This model uses a steady state, sector-averaged Gaussian plume equation

for application in complex terrain (i.e. terrain stack or release height) and

is run using stability classes developed by Pasquill and Gifford.

Following are the assumptions made while using the model:

- No dry and wet depletion of pollutants

- Receptors are on flat terrain

(a) Input data for air quality modeling

Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term

incremental GLC values of PM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 using one season

meteorological data collected at site during March, 2015 to May, 2015.

Input data is given in Table 4.1.

(b) Source Characteristics/Release Characteristics

Details of stack emissions (with and without APCM) are given in Table 4.2

& cumulative Concentrations at various locations are given as Table 4.3.

(c) Meteorological Parameters

Hourly meteorological data collected near the site for the period of March,

2015 to May, 2015 have been used for computing the meteorological

parameters.

(d) Dispersion Modeling Results

The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from

proposed project have been computed for PM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2

considering topographical features around the proposed plant and

applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC values

for PM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 from proposed plants are given in Table 4.4 to

Table 4.8. Corresponding isopleths plotted are shown in Figure 4.1 to

Figure 4.5.

4.5.6 Output of ISCST3 air model

Highest 24–hourly incremental GLC value for SPM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 are

0.721 g/m3, 0.540 g/m3, 0.313 g/m3, 0.212 g/m3 & 0.0034 g/m3



respectively. The point of maximum concentration by unit would be 1.41

km from center of industry in SE direction.

With this marginal contribution due to the proposal of the project, the

levels of PM10, SO2 & NOx, will remain well below the 24 –hourly ambient

air quality standards for SO2 & NOx (80 g/m3), PM10 (100 g/m3), PM2.5

(60 g/m3), HCl & Cl2 (limit not prescribed by CPCB) prescribed by CPCB.

The 24-hourly average GLCs Values are reported in Table 4.4 to Table

4.8. The operation of proposed plant is not likely to cause any significant

impact on the ambient air quality of the study area.

The pre-project (baseline) ambient air quality status in the study area

indicates that all the pollutants (gaseous as well as particulates), PM, SO2

& NOx are well within the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS) for residential, rural and other areas.

4.5.7 Conclusion

The modeling study proved that the air emissions from the proposed plant

would not affect the ambient air quality of the region in any significant

manner. This is because the proposed plant will have highly efficient air

pollution control equipment to control emissions. The ambient air quality

around the proposed project site will remain within the National Ambient

Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) meant for residential area.

4.6 IMPACT ON WATER ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction Phase impacts & mitigation measures

Proper arrangement for water intake shall be done for construction works &

domestic usage. The water requirement for various purposes will be met

from GIDC water supply. During construction work, water requirement is

estimated to be about 20-25 KLD depending upon nature of construction

work. In addition to this, about 2-3 KLD water will be required for domestic

activities of the construction staff which will also be met through the same

source.

There will be no wastewater generation from the construction work.

Sewage will be disposed off through soak pit & septic tank. Hence, it can

be concluded that all identified impacts on water during construction will be

negligible.



b. Operational Phase impacts & mitigation measures

The source of water will be met from GIDC water supply. Fresh water

requirements of the unit will be 228 KL/day. There will be no extraction of

ground water so that no impact is found on ground water availability and

quality in nearby surrounding area. Further, proponent has decided to

implement a Rain Water Harvesting Programme.

The proposed project will not abstract ground water to meet any of its

water requirements. Thus, operation of the proposed project will not affect

water availability in the study area.

c. Impact Assessment

The proposed project does not have the potential of impacting the ground

water quality and quantity in a significant manner in the long term during

the operation phase. The water requirement during the operational phase

will be met through GIDC water supply and there will not be any toxic

material release in sub soil region, hence no adverse impacts on ground

water are envisaged.

Source of the wastewater generation will be from process, floor washing,

lab, scrubber & utilities. Total industrial & domestic wastewater generation

will be 535.0 KLD. It will be separately treated stream wise. Process & Lab

w/w will be evaporated through MEE after primary & tertiary treatment in

ETP. Condensate will be reused. Effluent from washing, scrubber, utilities

(boiler blow down & cooling bleed off) will be treated in ETP and then

passed through RO. RO permeate will be recycled and reject of RO will be

sent to MEE. Thus, there will be no disposal of effluent outside the

premises and unit will achieve zero discharge of effluent. Domestic w/w will

be disposed in soak pit followed by septic tank. Thus, there will not be any

major impact on the water environment due to proposed activities.

Hence, it can be concluded that, all identified impacts on water during

operation phase will be negligible as no ground water shall be abstracted.

So no major impact is envisaged and proper, effective Environment

Management Planning will be implemented to minimize the temporary

effect so as to ensure minimal impacts on water resources.



4.7 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Any unwanted sound that creates disturbance in hearing is termed as

Noise. Hence, it is important to assess the present noise quality of the area

in order to predict the potential impact of future noise levels due to the

proposed project.

a. Construction Phase Impact & mitigation measures

During the construction phase, impacts on noise level of the area will occur

due to the noise generation from construction equipments, machineries,

mechanical works as well as some impact due to transportation. Mainly the

impacts of increased noise levels during construction are likely to occur due

to increased movement of trucks and other diesel powered material

handling equipment. The impacts of the transportation on noise

environment would be insignificant. However, movement of trucks and

machinery will be regulated to only during daytime to reduce the impacts

of increased noise. The impacts of noise during the construction would be

restricted to the construction site only and will be temporary, limited to the

construction phase. Personal Protective Equipments like ear muff/ear plug

will be provided to the workers. Regular maintenance & lubrication of

construction equipment & machineries will be undertaken to reduce the

noise generation. Thus, it is envisaged that the impacts on noise during the

construction phase would be insignificant after mitigation measure.

b. Operational Phase Impact & mitigation measures

During operation of the proposed project, ambient noise levels will increase

considerably due to the noise generation from the operation of boiler,

generators and reactors etc. The noise anticipated from the proposed

project will be confined only within plant boundary and more precisely

within the source area. The adequate greenbelt developed in and around

the plant will greatly serve as the efficient barrier which will result in

prevention of noise propagation outside plant premises.

Extensive oiling and lubrication and preventive maintenance shall be

carried out to reduce noise generation at source to the permissible limit.

However, at places where noise levels may exceed the permissible limit,

Earplugs will be provided to those working in such area. Adequate noise



control measures such as mufflers, silencers at the air inlet/outlet, anti-

vibration pad for equipment with high vibration, earmuff and earplugs to

the operators, etc. shall be provided. Housing/casing shall be provided for

all noise generating machines. Pump operators are generally exposed to

higher noise level for short duration. The noise level within plant will be

less than 75 dB(A).

All the equipment in the proposed project will be designed/operated in such

a way that the noise level in work place shall not exceed 85 dB (A) as per

the requirement of OSHA Standard (Occupational Safety and Health

Association). During operation, the protective measures like PPEs (ear

muff, ear plug etc.) will be provided & the exposure duration of

workers/other personnel to noise will be managed as per OSHA standard.

The results of baseline monitoring carried out in the region are presented

in Chapter-3. The results are below the standards prescribed for Industrial

environment. It can be concluded that, the impact on noise environment

will be long term but insignificant.

4.8 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT

The main source of impact on land and soil environment will be due to

construction activities and hazardous waste disposal.

a. Construction Phase Impact & mitigation measures

During the construction phase of the proposed project, the impacts are

normally occur with the site preparation as the change in land use & land

cover is associated with the work of site preparation. In case of the

proposed project, impacts due to the change in land use or land cover is

not envisaged as the proposed project will be located in GIDC area. Further

the land belongs to undeveloped–barren land in notified chemical zone and

clearance of vegetation is not required. Thus the issue of change in land

use is not envisaged. Further, it is also planned to develop a greenbelt

right from the beginning of the construction work which will lead to

beneficial change in land use & land cover which will result in many

beneficial secondary & tertiary impacts like improvement in ecological

condition, prevention of air pollution etc.



The construction activities like excavation for foundation, clearing, leveling

the sites and vehicular movements will entail change in the landscape,

which are expected to be of short duration and not much significant.

During the construction, other impacts on land are likely to occur because

of disposal of sewage generated during the construction works from

domestic activities of persons engaged in construction activities at site.

Unit has planned to provide sanitation facilities for the staff engaged in

construction work which will prevent the impacts on land. The sewage will

be disposed off through the septic tank & soak pit.

Thus, there will not be any issue of impacts on land during the construction

phase. However, slightly beneficial impacts on land are envisaged due to

use development of greenbelt.

b. Operational Phase impact (Solid/Hazardous Waste)

During the operation phase, it is identified that the impacts on land would

occur due to the contamination by solid/Hazardous wastes and untreated

sewage. Beside these, there would not be any major source of impacts on

land during the operation phase. The hazardous wastes are the major

source of impacts on land. Solid/hazardous waste generation from project

must be considered to identify the potential impacts. The details of the

Hazardous waste generation is described below.

Details of Hazardous/Solid Wastes

a) ETP Sludge & MEE salt – 70 MT/month & 170 MT/month

b) Process Residue – 22 MT/month

c) Spent catalyst – 1.0 MT/month

d) Incineration Ash – 125 MT/month

e) Off specific products – As & when generated

f) Discarded containers/ liners – 1200 nos./month & 0.5 MT/month

g) Used Lubricating Oil – 1.0 kl/year

The Hazardous waste will be collected from the sources & will be stored

and disposed as per the guidelines. ETP Sludge & MEE salt will be send to

approved TSDF site for final disposal, Process Residue & Off specific

products will be incinerated in own incinerator. Spent catalyst will be sent

for regeneration to suppliers. Incineration Ash will be disposed off to



approved TSDF site. Used oil will be sold to registered re-refiners and

discarded containers will be sold to GPCB registered recycler.



system and roof cover.

The proposed project site is within a GIDC estate and the land use of the

proposed project is already earmarked as industrial for the purpose of

development of chemical units, no additional land use change will take

place; hence no adverse impact on the land environment is likely to occur.

Thus, after taking adequate steps for the hazardous waste storage, there

will be insignificant impact on the environment due to proposed project

activities.

4.9 IMPACT ON BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction phase impact & mitigation measures

The proposed project is to be developed in the barren-undeveloped land in

industrial area of GIDC. There is no vegetation in the acquired land. Thus

the site preparation will not involve the clearance of the any vegetation.

Further, from the beginning of the construction, greenbelt development

activities will be started to enhance the biological feature of the project

site. Thus it is envisaged that there will not be any adverse impacts on the

ecology /biological environment due to the construction of proposed project

but will have beneficial impacts due to the greenbelt development.

b. Operational phase impact & mitigation measures

Proposed project will be in GIDC estate. At present the land is devoid of

any vegetation. There will not be any source of adverse impacts on

biological structures/habitat due to the proposed project. Because of this,

no major fauna is finding shelter as the situation does not favor nesting

avifauna or shelter of terrestrial fauna. No endangered species are reported

in the proposed project site hence there will not be any adverse impact

during operation phase.

Further, unit will develop greenbelt in & around the plant of proposed

project. The high stomatal Index of Azadirachta Indica, makes them

susceptible to SO2. However, the SO2 emissions from the industry will be



within limits. Hence, no major adverse impact is expected on these plants

with the increased emissions. The high SPM levels may harm leaves by

blocking stomata and thus interfering with exchange of gases during

photosynthesis and respiration. The site is not subjected to high-speed

winds and the plants can be expected to be free from any major impacts of

SPM on plants.

Thus considering the present situation of the ecology in the area, it is

envisaged that there will not be any adverse impacts on ecology but the

greenbelt developed in the premises of proposed project will have

significant beneficial impacts on ecology.

4.10 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

a. Construction Phase Impacts & mitigation measures

Population

During the peak construction phase, construction manpower including

construction workers will be employed.

However, to the maximum extent possible, construction workers will be

employed from within the study area.

Since the construction phase of this project will be for short time

period, the socio-economic impact due to construction of this project is

going to be temporary.

Considering the above-mentioned factors, the construction phase of the

project will have minor impact on population in the study area.

Employment

Around 20-30 workers will be employed in the construction work. This

will increase construction employment in the study area although

temporality. Hence, the proposed project will have minor impact on

employment in construction phase.

Transportation

For transportation of construction material, the existing road

infrastructure is adequate.

Moreover, as the construction phase for the proposed project will be

few months, the impact would be temporary.



b. Operation Phase Impacts & mitigation measures

Population

The proposed project will be located in GIDC, Dahej. Therefore, no

displacement of person is envisaged. In the operational phase, about 150

workers will be employed. These numbers of employee is very small

compared to the total population of the study area. Also as social impact

mitigation measure, unit will endeavor to employ most of these people

within the study area, subject to availability of suitable manpower in the

area. So the proposed project in its operational stage is not expected to

directly affect the total number or composition of population in the study

area significantly. However, the population of the study area is expected to

increase marginally due to migration of persons from outside of the study

area.

Employment

All efforts will be made to employ local people as far as possible. Local

people will be given first preference based on technical skill and

knowledge. In addition, employment will be generated by the secondary

supporting activities e.g. transportation, communication, boarding, daily

utility services. Surrounding area has got good educational facilities and

most of employees will come from the surrounding area.

Transportation

Because of the good network of transportation facilities in the study area,

the additional truck traffic generated during the operational phase is not

expected to bring any considerable load to the existing transportation

system. Thus, overall impacts on socio-economic environment are long

Analysis of Alternatives

5.1 PROLOGUE:

Alternative analysis is the process of analyzing the proposed locating for

suitability for basic necessities to operate the plant safely, this analysis

also covers the environmental aspect of pollution prevention and

improvement in quality of life nearby the project vicinity. The project

alternative is the course of action in pace of another, that would meet the

same purpose and need, but which would avoid or minimize negative

impacts and enhance project benefits.

Such projects may result in specific impacts which can be avoided or

mitigated by adherence to certain predetermined performance standards,

guidelines or design criteria. Alternative approaches may therefore be

more effective in integrating environmental and social concerns into the

project planning process.

5.2 PROJECT DETAILS

Unit proposes to start technical grade pesticide manufacturing unit at Plot

No. D-2, CH/12/C, GIDC Dahej-II, Taluka: Vagra, Dist. Bharuch, Gujarat.

Above activities falls under 5(b) category - Pesticides industry and

pesticide specific intermediates (excluding formulations) and therefore

prior EC is required.

5.3 SITE ALTERNATIVE

The project site is in proximity of Bharuch district of Gujarat State.

Proponent is very well familiar with the surrounding environment;

therefore, it becomes easy for the unit to set up the project on above said

location.

The other supporting features are briefly summarized hereunder,

Availability of all essential facilities like infrastructure,

communication, medical facilities, fuel, water, power, unskilled &

skilled manpower, raw materials, road network etc.

As the proposed project is in the GIDC Dahej, there is no

Rehabilitation and Resettlement involved.



Nearest city Bharuch is @ 36.0 km away from the location, which is

having connectivity with other parts of the country by road & rail.

The unit is well connected with State Highway (No. 6). Bharuch

Railway station is 36.0 Km away from the site.

No National park/Wildlife sanctuary falls within 10 km radial distance

from the project site.

The location of project is best suited to start above manufacturing

activities. So no alternative for site is analyzed.

Chapter-6

Environmental Monitoring Program 6.1 PRELUDE:

Environment monitoring is the sampling and analysis tool to know the

environment conditions at particular time. The record of environmental

monitoring is most important as the environmental changes are slow in

nature and impact appears after many years. Environmental Monitoring is

the technical heart of assessment of environmental and social impacts

arising due to implementation of the proposed project. An equally

essential element of this process is to develop measures to eliminate,

offset or reduce impacts to acceptable levels during implementation and

operation of projects. The integration of such measures into project

implementation and operation is supported by clearly defining the

environmental requirements within an Environmental Management Plan.

Agrico Organics Ltd. is proposed to start a new unit for manufacturing

of technical grade pesticide at Plot No. D-2, CH/12/C, Dahej-II Industrial

Estate, Taluka: Vagra, Dist.: Bharuch. It has proposed adequate

environmental monitoring programme.

6.2 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM:

The continuous monitoring of Environmental parameters like air, water,

noise, soil and performance of pollution control facilities and safety

measures in the plant are vital for proper Environmental management of

any industrial project. Therefore, the company shall create environmental

monitoring facilities by the environmental and safety department to

monitor air and water pollutants as per the guideline of GPCB & CPCB.

Moreover, air and water shall be monitored by outside agencies

authorized by GPCB at regular frequencies. This department shall also

carry out periodical checkup of fire and safety equipments.

6.3 OBJECTIVE OF MONITORING PLAN:

The basic objective of implementing a monitoring plan on a regular basis

is as follows:

To know the pollution status within the plant and its vicinity.

Generate data for corrective action in respect of pollution.



Correlate the production operations with emission and control

mechanism.

Examine the performance of pollution control system.

Assess the Environmental impacts.

Remedial measures and environment management plant to reverse

the impacts.

6.4 SCHEDULES FOR ENVIRONMENT MONITORING:

The environmental monitoring will be scheduled on regular interval to

assess the conditions. The record of these monitoring will be compared

with the baseline study to know the changes in environmental conditions.

The post-project environmental monitoring suggested herewith should be

as per the following guideline. The highlights of the integrated

environmental monitoring plan are:

The stack monitoring facilities like ladder, platform and porthole at

all the stacks will be maintained in good condition.

Regular monitoring of all gaseous emissions from stacks/vents.

The performance of air pollution control equipment evaluated based

on these monitoring results.

Water consumption will be recorded daily.

As far as possible, noise curbed at its source, with the help of

acoustic hoods and other such noise reducing equipment. Regular

noise level monitoring will be carried out.

Greenbelt will be properly maintained and new plantation

programmes will be undertaken frequently.

Continuous environmental awareness programmes will be carried

out for the employees and also in the surrounding villages.

6.5 Ambient Air Quality monitoring

Scheme for monitoring ambient air quality, stack emissions and fugitive

emissions are proposed. The ambient air quality monitoring systems are

recommended for monitoring the ground level concentrations and fugitive

emissions around the plant. Unit should install three monitoring stations

around its battery limit (at 1200 as per guideline) for monitoring PM, SO2

and NOx. The combined data will provide overall characteristic and



emission from the industry. For this, the following equipment is

recommended to be procured or can higher the services from

Environmental consultant by the project proponent for implementing the

above mentioned monitoring schemes:

Respirable Dust Sampler

Blower - 1.0-1.5 m3/min capacity with adapter for uniform suction

through filter and a properly calibrated manometer assembly for the

determination of flow rate through filter paper.

Rota meter - For gaseous sampling, calibrated Rota meter (0-5 LPM) for

maintaining flow rate should be provided.

Main housing - The main housing should be rectangular with a stand of

about 1.25 m height.

Besides this, stack emissions monitoring as per GPCB guidelines shall be

carried out.

Water Environment:

Unit will have full-fledged (ETP) to treat wastewater generated from

production plant & utilities. ETP will consist of primary treatment units for

treatment of process effluent followed by MEE and primary & tertiary

treatment units for treatment of washing and utilities effluent followed by

RO (Reverse Osmosis). Primary treated effluent will be sent to RO, MEE

and permeates of RO and recovered condensate water from MEE will be

recycled/reuse. Thus, unit will achieve zero discharge of effluent.

Noise Environment:

Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of

maintenance schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise

protection measures. A good quality digital sound pressure level meter is

essential for this purpose.

Transportation:

All the necessary precaution will be taken while carrying out transport of

the materials as per the Hazardous rules of transportation, Central Motor

Vehicle Act-1988 & 1989. The vehicle for transportation of raw materials,

by-products and products will be parked at specified loading facilities

where there will be a provision of fire extinguishers.

Additional Studies (A) Hazards Analysis & Risk Assessment

7.1 INTRODUCTION

Industrial plants deal with materials, which are generally hazardous in

nature by virtue of their intrinsic chemical properties or their operating

temperatures or pressures or a combination of these. Fire, explosion, toxic

release or combinations of these are the hazards associated with industrial

plants using hazardous chemicals. More comprehensive, systematic and

sophisticated methods of Safety Engineering, such as, Hazard Analysis and

Quantitative Risk Assessment have now been developed to improve upon

the integrity, reliability and safety of industrial plants.

The primary emphasis in safety engineering is to reduce risk to human life,

property and environment. Some of the more important methods used to

achieve this are:

Quantitative Risk Analysis: Provides a relative measure of the

likelihood and severity of various possible hazardous events by critically

examining the plant process and design.

Work Safety Analysis: The technique discerns whether the plant

layout and operating procedures in practice have any inherent

infirmities.

Safety Audit: Takes a careful look at plant operating conditions, work

practices and work environments to detect unsafe conditions.

Together, these three broad tools attempt to minimize the chances of

accidents occurring. Yet, there always exists, no matter how remote,

probability of occurrence of a major accident. If the accident involves

highly hazardous chemicals in sufficiently large quantities, the

consequences may be serious to the plant, to surrounding areas and the

populations residing therein.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT

A three ‗levels‘ risk assessment approach has been adopted for the M/s.

Agrico Organics Ltd. (Henceforth Agrico) for their greenfield project



located at Plot No. D-2, CH/12/C, GIDC, Dahej-II Industrial Estate, Tehsil:

Vagra, District: Bharuch, Gujarat. The risk assessment levels are generally

consistent with the practices encountered through various assignments for

medium and large chemical complexes. The brief outline of the three tier

approach is given below:

Level 1 – Risk Screening

This is top-down review of worst-case potential hazards/risks, aimed

primarily at identifying plant sites or areas within plant, which pose the

highest risk. Various screening factors considered include:

Inventory of hazardous materials;

Hazardous Materials properties;

Storage conditions (e.g. temperature and pressure);

Location sensitivity (distance to residential areas/populace).

The data/information is obtained from plant. The results provide a relative

indication of the extent of hazards and potential for risk exposure.

Level 2 – Major Risk Survey (Semi - Quantitative)

The survey approach combines the site inspection with established risk

assessment techniques applied both qualitative as well quantitative mode.

The primary objective is to identify and select major risks at a specific

location in the plant considering possible soft spots/weak links during

operation/maintenance. Aspects covered in the risk usually include:

Process Hazards;

Process Safety Management Systems;

Fire Protection and Emergency response equipment and programs.

Security weakness;

Impact of hazards consequences (equipment damage, business

interruption, injury, fatalities);

Qualitative risk identification of scenarios involving hazardous materials;

Risk reduction measures.

Selection of critical scenarios and their potential of damage provide means

of prioritising mitigative measures and allocate the resources to the areas

with highest risks.



Level 3 – Quantitative Risk Assessment (Deterministic)

This is the stage of assessment of risks associated with all credible hazards

(scenarios) with potential to cause an undesirable outcome such as human

injury, fatality or destruction of property. The four basic elements include:

Hazards identification utilizing formal approach (Level 2, HAZOP etc.);

Frequency Analysis. Based on past safety data (incidents/accidents);

Identifying likely pathway of failures and quantifying the toxic/

inflammable material release;

Hazards analysis to quantify the consequences of various hazards

scenarios (fire, explosion, BLEVE, toxic vapour release etc.). Establish

minimum value for damage (e.g. IDLH, over pressure, radiation flux) to

assess the impact on environment.

Risk Quantification: Quantitative techniques are used considering effect/

impact due to weather data, population data, and frequency of

occurrences and likely hood of ignition/toxic release. Data are analysed

considering likely damage (in terms of injury/fatality, property damage)

each scenarios is likely to cause.

QRA provides a means to determine the relative significance of a number

of undesired events, allowing analyst and the team to focus their risk

reduction efforts where they will be beneficial most.

Agrico Organics Ltd. project is hazardous in nature. The QRA for this

plant is based on Level 1 and Level 2. Table 2.3 in Chapter 2 gives the list

of products (and their monthly production capacity) to be manufactured in

the proposed Agrico project. Table-7.1 gives the bulk storages of liquid

and gaseous raw materials and their consumption.

7.2.1 Hazardous Materials Storage

The solid materials will be kept in bags or drums and will be stored in

chemicals godowns. The products (liquid or solid) will be packed in drums

and stored in product godowns as per market demand.

In addition, AGRICO will store fuels mainly Coal for boiler and HSD for D G

Set (during power failure only.). NG will be used in incinerator. Diesel

stored will be ~ 1kl (in 200 l drums).

The solid material powder or granules spillage can results in polluting small

area only. The damage to personnel can be through ingress- dermal (if



individual come in contact), oral (if individual food gets infected through

fugitive dust) or inhalation (fugitive dust). The main route is fugitive dust

which in covered area will move to short distance only.

The risk is through liquid/gaseous materials which are volatile material.

The toxic vapours due to spillage of such material can travel to some

distance (as they are stored in covered godowns) and cause damage.

The bulk storages of liquid hazardous materials are given in the Table 7.1

7.2.2 Risk Screening Approach

Proposed Plant: Risk screening of Agrico Organics Ltd. plant was

undertaken through process study and study of data/information provided

by Agrico Data of major/ bulk storages of raw materials, intermediates and

other chemicals were collected. MSDS of hazardous chemicals were studied

vis a vis their inventories and mode of storage. Agrico plant will be using

number of hazardous chemicals and also producing organic chemicals –

hazardous in nature. The chemicals stored in bulk (liquid or gaseous) and

defined under MSHIC Rule will be considered for detailed analysis.

Pesticides Product: Agrico is producing 47 pesticides products including 13

herbicides, 7 fungicides, 7 intermediate chemicals, 17 insecticides and 3

fermentation technology products. The products coming under hazardous

category as specified by MSIHC Rules, 1989 (including subsequent

amendments) is given in Table 7.2 below:

7.2.3 Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGLS)

AEGL-3 is "the airborne concentration of a substance above which it is

predicted that the general population, including susceptible individuals,

could experience life-threatening adverse health effects or death."



could experience irreversible or other serious, long-lasting adverse

health effects or an impaired ability to escape."



could experience notable discomfort, irritation, or certain asymptomatic

no sensory effects.

7.2.4 Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPGS)

The 3 ERPG tiers are defined as follows:

ERPG-3 is "the maximum airborne concentration below which it is

believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour

without experiencing or developing life-threatening health effects."





without experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health

effects or symptoms which could impair an individual's ability to take

protective action."



without experiencing other than mild transient health effects or

perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odor."

7.2.5 Temporary Emergency Exposure Limits (TEELS)

TEELs are used in similar situations as the 60-minute AEGLs and ERPGs.

However, in situations where the concentration varies over time, the TEEL

developers recommend using a conservative 15-minute time-weighted

average concentration. A chemical may have up to 4 TEEL values, each of

which corresponds to a specific tier of health effects.

The 4 TEEL tiers are defined as follows:

TEEL-3 is "the maximum concentration in air below which it is believed

nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing or

developing life-threatening health effects."


nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing or

developing irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms that

could impair their abilities to take protective action."


nearly all individuals could be exposed without experiencing other than

mild transient health effects or perceiving a clearly defined objectionable

odor."

TEEL-0 is "the threshold concentration below which most people will

experience no appreciable risk of health effects."

The National Institute of Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) defines

an immediately dangerous to life or health condition as a situation "that

poses a threat of exposure to airborne contaminants when that exposure

is likely to cause death or immediate or delayed permanent adverse

health effects or prevent escape from such an environment."



The IDLH limit represents the concentration of a chemical in the air to

which healthy adult workers could be exposed (if their respirators fail)

without suffering permanent or escape-impairing health effects.

7.2.6 QRA Approach

Identification of hazards and likely scenarios (based on Level-1 and Level-2

activities) calls for detailed analysis of each scenario for potential of

damage, impact area (may vary with weather conditions/wind direction)

and safety system in place. Subsequently each incident is classified

according to relative risk classifications provided in Table below as Table

7.4.

Table 7.4: Risk Classification

Stage Description

High

(> 10-2/yr)

A failure which could reasonably be expected to occur within

the expected life time of the plant.

Examples of high failure likelihood are process leaks or single

instrument or valve failures or a human error which could

result in releases of hazardous materials.

Moderate

(10-2 --10-4/yr)

A failure or sequence of failures which has a low probability of

occurrence within the expected lifetime of the plant.

Examples of moderate likelihood are dual instrument or valve

failures, combination of instrument failures and human errors,

or single failures of small process lines or fittings.

Low

(<10-4)

A failure or series of failures which have a very low probability

of occurrence within the expected lifetime of plant.

Examples of ‗low‘ likelihood are multiple instruments or valve

failures or multiple human errors, or single spontaneous

failures of tanks or process vessels.

Minor Incidents Impact limited to the local area of the event with potent for

‗knock – on- events‘

Serious

Incident

One that could cause:

Any serious injury or fatality on/off site;

Property damage of $ 1 million offsite or $ 5 million onsite.

Extensive

Incident

One that is five or more times worse than a serious incident.

Assigning a relative risk to each scenario provides a means of prioritising

associated risk mitigation measures and planned actions.

7.2.7 Thermal Hazards

In order to understand the damages produced by various scenarios, it is

appropriate to understand the physiological/physical effects of thermal



radiation intensities. The thermal radiation due to tank fire usually results

in burn on the human body. Furthermore, inanimate objects like

equipment, piping, cables, etc. may also be affected and also need to be

evaluated for damages. Table 7.5, Table 7.6 and Table 7.7 (below),

respectively give tolerable intensities of various objects and desirable

escape time for thermal radiation.

Thermal hazards could be from fires or explosion. Fire releases energy

slowly while explosion release energy very rapidly (typically in micro

seconds). Explosion is rapid expansion of gases resulting in rapidly moving

shock wave. Explosion can be confined (within a vessel or building) or

unconfined (due to release of flammable gases).

BLEVE (Boiling Liquid Expanding Vapour Explosion) occurs if a vessel

containing a liquid at a temperature above its atmospheric boiling point

ruptures. The subsequent BLEVE is the explosive vaporisation of large

fraction of its vapour contents; possibly followed by combustion or

explosion of the vaporised cloud if it is combustible.

Thermal hazards have been considered for various scenarios including: Fire

in inflammable chemicals storage tanks.

7.2.8 Damage due to Explosion

The explosion of a dust or gas (either as a deflagration or detonation)

results in a reaction front moving outwards from the ignition source

preceded by a shock wave or pressure front. After the combustible material

is consumed the reaction front terminates but the pressure wave continues

its outward movement. Blast damage is based on the determination of the

peak overpressure resulting from the pressure wave impacting on the

object or structure. Damage estimates based on overpressure are given in

Table 7.8 below:

7. 5 - 7 Nearly complete destruction of houses

8. 9 Loaded train box wagons completely

demolished

9. 10 Probable total destruction of houses

10. 200 Limits of crater lip

In Agrico case explosion probability is remote.

TOXIC RELEASE

Hazardous materials handled and stored in bulk in AGRICO complex are

hazardous materials (as detailed in Table 7.1) as defined in MSHIC rules

and indicated in Table 7.2 and Table 7.3. Some of these chemicals are

stored in bulk (in tank farm).

Damage criteria: For toxic release the damage criteria considered is IDLH

concentration (if data are available). In the absence of non-availability of

IDLH, ‗Inhalation Toxicity (IT) data for rats‘ are considered. ‗IT‘ data are

used for such chemicals for whom IDLH are not available for these

chemicals.

Acid/Alkali Hazards

Various hazards that can occur due to the acid and alkali incidents are

Skin irritation and corrosive effects after spillage

Spill pool evaporation of Sulphuric/Hydrochloric Acid or Caustic lye

storage tanks catastrophic failure are limited only

Catastrophic failure giving rise to spill pool evaporation dispersion up to

LC50, IDLH and TLV level

The more hazardous scenario likely is if spilled acid comes in contact with

metal and hydrogen is generated resulting in fire/explosion hazards.

Based on the outcome of the risk assessment, following recommendation

has been made to avoid any risk associated with the storage and use of

Hydrochloric acid in the plant:

Double drain valve will be provided to sulphuric acid storage tank.

Full body protection will be provided to operator.

Caution note and emergency first aid will be displayed.



All employees will be trained for use of emergency first aid.

Safety shower and eye wash will be provided in storage tank area and

plant area.

Total close process will be adopted for Sulphuric acid handling.

Dyke wall will be provided to storage tank.

Tanker unloading procedure will be prepared.

SOP will be prepared for Hydrochloric acid handling.

Training programme will be conducted for safe handling and emergency

handling of Sulphuric Acid.

In Storage Tank Area, reaction with water generating fumes should be

displayed and avoided.

Suitable extinguishing media-Extinguish with dry powder/sand. DO NOT

USE WATER.

Fire and explosion hazards-Not flammable

7.2.9 Data Limitations

Agrico is handling various toxic materials including most of the pesticides

products are new molecules with unique properties. The main use of these

pesticides molecules are to kill insects, pests or other small organism which

are harmful or do damage to the human system directly or indirectly.

These new pesticides are coming up because harmful organisms are

becoming immune to existing pesticides or the existing pesticides are doing

more damage to human than giving benefits.

It is also observed that very little data or information (regarding physical

properties required for modeling) is available about these pesticides and

modelling cannot be done for these.

7.2.10 Likely Failure Scenarios

Few likely failure scenarios have been selected after critical appraisal of

raw materials and storage inventories. Failure scenarios selected are as

given in Table 7.9 below:

Table 7.9: Different Failure Scenarios

S. No. Scenario Remark

RM-1 2,4-Dichlorophenol (2,4 DCP) Non-flammable

RM-2 Hexane Flammable

RM-4 Toluene Flammable

RM-5 Bromine Non-flammable

RM-6 Liq Chlorine Non-flammable

RM-7 Ethylene Dichloride (EDC) Flammable

RM-8 Phosphorus Oxy Chloride Non-flammable

7.3 QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT & CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

In the previous section, we have carried out the hazards analysis of the

Agrico‘s complex considering various aspects including bulk storages of

hazardous chemicals, plant process system, plant incidents/accidents

records, critical appraisal and discussion at site for soft spots in the plant

etc. Based on the hazards analysis 2 critical scenarios have been selected

for QRA and consequence analysis. QRA quantifies vulnerable zones for a

conceived incident with various levels of severity. Consequence calculations

for risk assessment are invariably in terms of percentage of fatalities but

for emergency handling, fatalities are of no interest saving lives is the main

objectives then. The injury criteria have to be agreed in terms of thermal

load or toxic concentration versus exposure duration in the first instance.

In consequence calculation, use is made of a number of calculation models

to estimate the physical effects of an accident (spill of hazardous material)

and to predict the damage (lethality, injury, material destruction, and

other property damage).

The risk assessment modeling can be roughly divided into three groups:

Determination of source strength parameters;

Determination of consequential effects;

Determination of damage or damage distances (with specific severity

rates)

7.3.1 Weather Effect

The effect of ambient conditions on the impact of fire/heat radiation and

GLC of hazardous/toxic material can be beneficial as well as harmful. A

high wind (turbulence) can dilute the toxic material while stable

environment can extend the reach of IDLH or IT (inhalation LC50 rats for

products) concentration to long distance. Any inflammable gas/vapour



release in turbulent weather will soon dilute the hazardous gases below LEL

and thus save the disaster.

7.3.2 Incidents Impacts

The identified failure scenarios have been analyzed (Using ALOHA and

EFFECT Modules) for the impact zones considering damage due to thermal

and toxic impacts. Similar impacts are considered for proposed unit. Each

incident will have Impact on the surrounding environment which in

extreme case may cross plant boundary. The impact zones for various

scenarios are given in Table 7.10.

7.3.3 Consequential Impacts

The consequential impacts from each incident scenarios can be though

thermal, over pressure wave and toxic route. The damage can be on plant

personnel (and neighbouring residents in case incident crosses boundary),

property and also loss in production.

7.3.4 Thermal and Explosion Hazards

Incidents involving thermal hazards are mainly due to raw material fire (in

tank farms). The impact (2nd degree burn) is limited to < 10 m only (i.e.

within plant boundary). However, the consequences can go to worse if the

incidents lead to domino effect to other tanks.

7.3.5 Toxic Hazards

Toxic hazards are mainly due to Methanol spillage and other chemicals

leakage and their impact can cross the plant boundary (if not controlled in

time). The impact due to methanol (IDLH) is limited to less than 10 m only

i.e. within the plant boundary.

7.3.6 Other Hazards

The other hazards in the plant include (but not limited to):

Other toxic hazards due to acids/other toxic spillages (mainly limited to

spillage area only).



Mechanical hazards due to machines/equipment.

Hazards due to individual soft spots like walking casually and noticing a

pit and falling or colliding/stumbling or slipping (not noticing a wet place

etc.).

7.3.7 Other Toxic Hazards

Acid spillage-its impact will be limited to spillage area. The spillage if

comes in contact with metal parts will produce hydrogen which is highly

flammable gas. Any person moving in area and getting splash will get the

injury. In addition the spillage will cause pollution problem. The spillage is

to be collected and neutralized for toxic contents before disposal.

7.3.8 Occupational Health

Agrico will have a well-equipped first aid post. It will also have staff

personnel trained in first aid. Injured personnel will be immediately rushed

to hospital after giving first aid. All employees will have regular medical

checkup as per norms. An emergency vehicle will always (round the clock)

available for meeting any eventuality.

7.3.8.1 Treatment of workers affected by accidental spillage of chemicals

There is a wide range of chemicals present in the Chemical plants. The safe

cleanup of a chemical spill requires some knowledge of the properties and

hazards posed by the chemical, and any added dangers posed by the

location of the spill.

Treatment of workers affected by accidental spillage of chemicals

Employees must notify their immediate supervisor of injury by spillage of

chemicals or exposure to hazardous materials. All injuries that may be

work related must be reported. Supervisor is responsible for reporting any

injuries or occupational illnesses to the management.

Following steps will be immediate taken by the Supervisor

Identify spillage/leakages of hazardous chemicals

Chemical Exposure to Skin:

Immediately flush with cool water for at least 15 minutes. If there are no

visible burns, remove the cloth from burning part of body. Seek medical

attention if an exposure/spillages occurs major possible problems.



Chemical Exposure to Skin – Serious:

Remove all contaminated clothing. Locate the nearest emergency shower

and soak for at least 15 minutes. Have someone contact the Hospital for

immediate medical attention.

Chemicals in Eyes:

Irrigate eyes for at least 15 minutes with tempered water from emergency

eyewash station. Remove contact lenses if there is. Notify the management

and immediate medical attention.

Acid Fumes:

Anyone overcome by fumes should be removed by fresh air. Never attempt

to enter a location where potentially dangerous fumes might place you at

risk. If someone is down, contact emergency personnel and let them enter.

Self-breathing apparatus is requiring to whom enter in the acidic fumes

area. Seek medical attention for exposure as soon as possible.

Chemical Spills

There is an HCl present in the chemical plant. The safe clean-up of an acid

spill requires some knowledge of the properties and hazards posed by the

HCl and any added dangers posed by the location of the spill. If you believe

a spill is beyond your capacity to clean up, do not attempt to do so by your

own, immediately contact to nearest fire/emergency station. Spill kits with

instructions, absorbents, neutralizing agents if applicable, protective

equipment, and sealable waste buckets should be present in plant area.

Following Steps to be taken for ensuring health and safety of

workers engaged in handling of toxic materials

Identify chemicals to be used, amounts required, condition followed as

per the MSDS guideline.

Evaluate the hazards posed by the chemicals and the process

conditions. The evaluation should cover toxic, physical, reactive,

flammable, explosive as well as any other potential hazards posed by

the respective chemicals.

Select appropriate controls to minimize risk, including use of

engineering controls, administrative controls, and personal protective

equipment (PPE) to protect workers from hazards. The controls must

ensure that OSHA‘s Permissible Exposure Limits (PELs).



Avoid Underestimation of Risk of handling and its reaction.

Before working with chemicals, know the facility‘s policies and

procedures for how to handle an accidental spill or fire. Emergency

telephone numbers should be posted in a prominent area. Know the

location of all safety equipment and the nearest fire alarm and

telephone.

Provide popper Ventilation in the plant/process area.

Toxic or corrosive chemicals that require vented storage should be

stored in vented cabinets instead of in a chemical hood.

Local exhaust ventilation devices should be appropriate to the

operations in the plant.

Chemicals should be separated and stored according to hazard category

and compatibility.

A risk assessment should be conducted prior to beginning work with any

hazardous chemical for the first time.

7.4 CONCLUSION & RECOMMENDATIONS

The hazard analysis and risk assessment of few possible selected incident

scenarios indicates that such incidents mostly are not limited to plant

battery limits and have impact on adjoining plants. There are possibilities

of domino effect and the secondary scenario not predictable can be worse

than the primary one. Only one scenario (specifically toxic hazards

scenario) is crossing the AGRICO plant boundaries. The direction of impact

will be in down wind direction (wind direction and speed varies with

season).

Some of the recommendations for Tank farm storage system are as given

below:

Provision of flame detectors/ thermal sensors at strategic locations in

the tank farm area.

Auto water deluge system on each bulk storage tank for inflammable

liquids. The system should automatically start taking signal from flame

detectors or thermal relay.

Fixed foam system with adequate capacity.

Toxic Hazards are due to methanol and all other liquid materials. Regular

‗Hazard Survey‘ ensures the detection of leakage in the plant.



In house ‗capability building‘ to attend hazardous scenarios is to be taken

up through mock drills. Real time exercise with controlled release of

Bromine

Train staff in attending such scenarios.

Human Factors: AGRICO should have well equipped Toxic and fire handling

system and also safety department – safety practices. Human factors role

in safety cannot be ignored. Odd hours working and over / long hours work

can drain out individual. It shows in lack of efficiency and also the lack of

apt attention the modern chemical complex demand. They are to be closely

looked into and avoided.

‗Safety‘ has unique features:

a. If no accident has happened so far probability of incident/accident

occurring increases.

b. ‗No accident‘/good safety record develops complacency inertia/ over

confidence in the team. This attitude gives rise to gaps/soft spots in

the system giving chances to incidents/accidents.

c. Safety requires novelty. Routine training practices get stale with no

positive results. Look for novel scheme of training/safety practices to

build up fresh impetus in safety. Involvement of employees with

refreshed outlook for safety is to be achieved.

be made available to all concern department & personnel.

7.5.5 Safety measures to prevent spillage/leakage of toxic chemicals

The preventive maintenance will be planned and carried out as per plan to

avoid the failure of valve, pipe lines and other component of transferring

line. The spillage will be confined to the dyke area underneath the vessel.

The resultant splash of such chemicals will result in exposure of toxic

chemicals to employees. Decontamination facilities (Safety shower and eye

wash fountains) will be provided in the plant area, which can be used to

decontaminate the affected employees.

Suitable decontamination procedure will be used to decontaminate the

spilled or leaked material. The SOP for decontamination will be reared with

all related department.

7.6 ARRANGEMENTS FOR ENSURING HEALTH AND SAFETY OF

WORKERS ENGAGED IN HANDLING OF TOXIC MATERIALS

The significance of Safety & Health in chemical/Pharma industries has been

a vital issue in achieving productivity and quality standard. Following is an

effort for safety and Health of workers working in chemical plant.

Numbers of chemicals are used in plant have specific health hazards in

nature. Following are basic fundamental principles properly underlie all the

workers working in the plant. Occupational health and safety is about

preventing people from being harmed by work or becoming ill from work

by taking adequate precautions and providing a safe and healthy work

environment. Consideration of each should be encouraged before beginning

work as part of the culture of safety within the plant.

Plan ahead. Determine the potential hazards associated with

production.

Minimize exposure to chemicals. Do not allow toxic chemicals to

come in contact with skin. Provide proper ventilation devices to

prevent/minimize airborne.



Do not underestimate hazards or risks. Assume that any mixture of

chemicals will be more toxic than its most toxic component. Treat all the

chemicals as toxic substances.

Be prepared for accidents. Before beginning of any batch reaction,

know what specific steps to take which cause to accident if any

hazardous substance release accidently. Proper follow SOP- Standard

Operating procedure to take batch reaction.

Unit will assess is careful examination of what, at work, could cause harm

to workers. Accidents and ill health. All risks in the workplace must be

identified and assessed for control measures to be put in place.

Follow the five steps of hazard identification will be taken by unit namely;

Identify the hazards

Decide who might be harmed and how

Evaluate the risks and decide on precaution

Record your findings and implement them

Review your assessment and update if necessary.

Following Information workers should know regarding hazardous

chemicals

We shall ensure that the employee is adequately trained with regard to:

The contents of the hazardous chemical substances

Potential source exposure to chemicals

Potential risks to health caused by exposure

Measures taken by the employer to protect employees against any risk

from exposure

Precautions to be taken by an employee to protect himself against the

health risks associated exposure

Correct use, maintenance of safety equipment, facilities and engineering

controls

Importance of good housekeeping at the workplace and personal

hygiene

Safe working procedures

Procedures to be followed in the event of spillages or leakages.



7.7 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (DMP)

Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is proposed to meet the extremely

adverse situations caused by the various hazardous accident scenarios. A

sample Disaster Management Plan is attached to develop the DMP for the

plant and submit to Factory inspector for approval. Mock drills are to be

carried out in association with district authorities. Any weak points

observed during the mock drills are to be strengthened.

Disaster/Emergency Management Plan is essential for a chemical plant as

the processes adopted for manufacturing are classified under Factory Act

as Hazardous due to handling and storage of toxic, flammable and

explosive hazardous materials. Over the years, the chemical process plant

has created adequate infrastructure and adopted risk mitigation measures

to tackle any emergency that may arise during the manufacturing process.

The important aspect in emergency planning is to control an emergency by

technical and organizational means, minimize accidents and consequent

losses. Emergency planning also brings to light deficiencies, such as, lack

of resources necessary for effective emergency response. It also

demonstrates the organization's commitment to safety of employees and

physical property as well as increases the awareness among management

and employees.

Disaster Management Plan for the plant is necessarily a combination of

various actions which are to be taken in a very short time but in a pre-set

sequence to deal effectively and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or

major accident with an aim to keep the loss of men, material, plant/

machinery etc. to the minimum.

A major emergency in a pesticide plant is one, which has the potential to

cause serious injury or loss of life. It may cause extensive damage to

property and serious disruption of both inside and outside the plant.

Sometimes, it would require the assistance of outside emergency services

to handle it effectively. Although the emergency at the plant may be

caused by a number of different factors, e.g. leakage of toxic and

flammable materials from piping/tanks, total/partial power failure,

earthquake or sabotage, it will normally manifest itself in fire/toxic release.



Primarily, DMP is prepared to furnish details which may require at the time

of the emergency, to delegate responsibility, to estimate the consequences

in advance and to prepare ourselves to control any type of emergency. The

plan explains basic requirements as follows:

Definition,

Objectives,

Organization set up,

Communication System,

Action on site,

Link with Off-site Emergency Plan,

Training rehearsal and record aspect.

7.7.1 Definitions

Various definitions on different analogy used on On-site & Off-site

Emergency Plan are as follows:

Accident: An accident may be defined as ―an undesirable and unplanned

event with or without or major damage consequence of life and /or

property.

Major Accident: It is a sudden, unexpected, unplanned event resulting

from uncontrolled developments during an industrial activity, which causes

or has the potential to cause, death or hospitalization to a number of

people, damage to environment, evacuation of local population or any

combination of above effects.

Emergency: This can be defined as any situation, which presents a threat

to safety of person's or/and property. It may require outside help also.

Major Emergency: Occurring at a work is one that may affect several

departments within and/or may cause serious injuries, loss of life,

extensive damage to properly or serious disruption outside the works. It

will require the use of outside resources to handle it effectively.

Disaster: Disaster is a sudden calamitous event, bringing great damage,

loss or destruction.

Hazards: Hazard may be defined as ―the potential of an accident‖. Hazard

exists in man and the system of materials and machines.



Chemical Hazards: It is a hazard due to chemical(s) (including its storage,

process, handling, etc.) and it is realized by fire, explosion, toxicity,

corrosively, radiation, etc.

Risk: Risk may be defined as the combination of consequence and

probability or likelihood of an accident being caused in a given man-

material – machine system.

On-Site Emergency plan: It deals with measures to prevent and control

emergencies within the factory and not affecting outside public or

environment.

Off-Site Emergency plan: It deals with measures to prevent and control

emergencies affecting public and the environment outside the premises.

7.7.2 Objective of the Disaster Management Plan

The primary purpose of this Disaster Management Plan is to equip the Plant

with required resources and information for prompt implementation of the

set of actions to be undertaken in the event of an accident posing hazards

to the people and community after commissioning of the plant.

The objective of Disaster Management Plan (DMP), for the plant is to be in

a state of perceptual readiness through training, development and mock

drills, to immediately control and arrest any emergency situation so as to

avert a full fledge disaster and the consequence of human and property

damage and in the event of a disaster still occurring, to manage the same

to that the risk of the damage consequences to life and property are

minimized and thereafter, proper rehabilitation, review and revisions of the

DMP to overcome the shortcomings noticed are undertaken.

The DMP document is prepared keeping in view and to conform the

requirements of the provisions of The Factories Act 1948 under section 41

B (4), Guidelines issued by the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Govt.

Environment Management Plan

10.1 INTRODUCTION

An Environment Management Plan (EMP) has been prepared to minimize

negative impacts and is formed on the basis of prevailing environmental

conditions and likely impacts of this project on various environmental

parameters. This plan will also facilitate monitoring of environmental

parameters.

Assessment of environmental and social impacts arising due to

implementation of the proposed project activities is the technical heart of

EIA process. An equally essential element of this process is to develop

measures to eliminate, offset or reduce impacts to acceptable levels during

implementation and operation of projects. The integration of such

measures into project implementation and operation is supported by

clearly defining the environmental requirements within an Environmental

Management Plan (EMP).

From the previous chapter, it can be said that the proposed project has

significantly less pollution potential. For abatement of environmental

pollution, the unit would adopt several measures, which are summarized in

this chapter.

10.2 OBJECTIVE OF ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The objective of the Environmental Management Plan is summarized

hereunder,

To limit/reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of adverse

impacts.

To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and

hazardous waste with adoption of adequate and efficient technology.

To comply with the stipulated enviro-legal requirements & standards.

To create good working conditions.

To reduce any risk hazards and design the disaster management plan.

Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a

cleaner and better environment.



To account for recycling and reusing measures, proposed or required

to be adopted for minimization of consumption of resources and

generation of pollutants.

10.3 COMPONENTS OF EMP

EMP for the proposed project covers following aspects:

Description of mitigation measures for operation phase only

Description of monitoring program

Institutional arrangements

Implementation schedule and reporting procedures

All above aspects and objectives are kept in the view and considering the

same EMP is prepared for two major fields,

10.3.1 Environmental Management systems

Unit is well aware of environmental requirements for planning and

implementation of the project and set up a department with trained

personnel headed under the qualified environmental manager. As indicated

in the impact and mitigation chapter of this report, the environmental

impact due to the proposed activity is very marginal release of pollutants.

10.3.2 Environmental Management Cell

Unit will set up separate Environmental Management Cell and assigned

responsibilities to officers from various disciplines to co-ordinate the

activities concerned with management and implementation of environment

control measures. Basically, this department keep a close watch on the

performance of the pollution control equipments, emissions from the

sources and the quality of surrounding environment in accordance with the

monitoring programme either departmentally or appointing external

agency whenever necessary.

The cell will also include the safety cell for observing, inspecting and

regulating the safety measures inside the plant campus. The cell will be

responsible for maintaining records of all the data, documents and

information in line with the statutory requirements. The setup of the

Environmental Management Cell is shown in Figure-10.1.



10.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

Unit through its head project contractor will provide the necessary

infrastructural facilities to the labour. The following factors would be given

consideration to maintain good environmental quality during construction

phase:

This is a proposed unit; hence excavation work will be carried out as per

requirement. There will also be installation of new machineries and

equipments that ultimately lead adverse impact on environment. But it will

be temporary in nature. Installation work shall generate noise and dust but

it will within working areas. Therefore, measures will need to be taken to

protect workers.

To mitigate the adverse environment impact due to the construction phase,

following measures will be taken:

Regular sprinkling of the water will be recommended along with the

construction activities.

Regular preventing maintenance of machinery and transportation of

vehicles during construction to reduce noise pollution.

Provision of silencer, to modulate the noise generated by the machine, if

required.

Reduce the exposure time of workers to the higher noise level by job

rotation.

To protect workers working in noisy area, personal protective

equipments like earmuffs/earplugs will be provided.

The domestic sewage generated during the construction activity will be

routed to soak pit followed by septic tank.

Tree plantation will be proposed periphery of plant premises and along

the roads.

Water Environment

During construction phase, provision for infra-structural services including

water supply, sewage and electrification will be made. The construction site

would be provided with suitable toilet facilities for the workers to allow

proper standards of hygiene. These facilities would be connected to a



septic tank and maintained to ensure minimum impact on the

environment.

Safety and Health during Construction Phase

Adequate space will be provided for construction of temporary sheds for

construction workers mobilized by the contractors. Unit will also supply

potable water for the construction workers. The safety department will

supervise the safe working of the contractor and their employees. Work

spots will be maintained clean, provided with optimum lighting and enough

ventilation to eliminate dust/fumes.

Socio-economic Environment

Management will give preference to local people through both direct and

indirect employment.

10.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING THE OPERATIONAL

PHASE

EMP proposed for implementation is detailed under the following heads:

Air Pollution Control

Wastewater Management

Solid/Hazardous Waste Management

Noise Management

Greenbelt Development

Occupational Safety and Health

Implementation of EMP and monitoring programme

10.5.1 Air Pollution Management

10.5.1.1 Source of air pollution and control measures

Main source of gaseous emission will be point source and fugitive emission.

Flue gas emission will be from one common stack of 2 nos. of Boilers, one

stack of Thermic Fluid Heater (TFH). Coal will be used as fuel in boiler and

TFH. Emitted pollutants from flue gas stack will be SPM, SO2 and NOX.




Natural Gas/FO will be used as fuel in incinerator. Main pollutants emitted

from process will be PM, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2 & HC.



Adequate stack height to the flue gas stack and process gas stack has been

provided for proper dispersion of gaseous emission.

Unit proposed to install D.G. set of 1000 kVA capacity which will be treated

as stand by and use in case of non-availability of power/emergency, where

HSD will be used as a fuel. However, in order to achieve the reduction, it is

suggested that during operational phase, regular maintenance and periodic

tuning of the burner system should be done to ensure proper atomization

and subsequent minimization of any unburned combustibles. Besides

reduction in particulate emissions, it would also result in better operating

efficiency of APC measures.

In order to minimize the air pollution the unit will develop greenbelt on and

around its premises considering the following guidelines,

i) Green cover should be created at all the available open spaces.

ii) Strict surveillance is made to increase the survival rate of the trees.

iii) Plants with higher height, medium and low height should be planted to

ensure thick belt for attenuation of fugitive emission. This activity

demands expert advice and guidance.

10.5.1.2 Measures for Solvent recovery

Process step of solvent recovery

Most of the solvents as above shall be recovered from reaction vessels

Each reaction vessels shall have overhead condenser (primary and a

vent condenser).

The primary condenser shall have the utility connection of either cooling

water (32-37°C) or chilled water (5-10°C) or both. Based on boiling

point of solvent as per the table.

The vent condenser shall have a utility connection of either chilled water

(5-10°C) or brine (-15 to-20) or both.

By these measures the utilities in the condensers shall always be below

the condensing temperature of various solvents and there for least

vapour pressure or mole fraction at condensing temperature.

Unit shall be using dry vaccum pump with vaccum control device to

maintain constant pressure.



Each vaccum device shall also have a knockout pot and a condenser

before suction of the vaccum pump.

10.5.1.3 Measures for fugitive emission

In proposed activities, there will be chances of generation of VOCs, acid

fumes from material handling area, process area, solvent storage area etc.

There will be also changes of generation of PM (Dust) from packing/

finishing area.

Unit will adopt following measures-

Good house-keeping, proper maintenance and continuous observation

will prevent the chances of any fugitive emission from the process plant.

Pakka road make to reduce the fugitive emission. Water sprinkler will be

provided to reduce the dusting from road transportation.

Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipment is done to

prevent leakage and thus minimize the fugitive emissions of VOCs.

Entire process is carried out in the closed reactors with proper

maintenance of pressure and temperature.

Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive emission.

To reduce the pollutant emission during transportation, the unit has

adopted the practice of regular check-up and maintenance of vehicular

engines for complete combustion of the fuel.

10.5.1.4 Action plan for odour control

Odour control for solid handling

All solid raw materials shall be charged directly to reactor through

special air lock hopper against slight negative pressure (in water

column) so that no odour is emitted to the environment.

Solid charging nozzle in reactor shall be projected inside so that it

directly falls in to the solvent media, thereby eliminating carrying over

of solid to vapour nozzle.

Powder transfer system shall also be used where ever applicable to

have zero loss of powder into the atmosphere.

Odour control for Liquid

All liquid raw material handled in drum shall be cooled down during

summer before charging so as to minimize its vapour pressure and

control of odour.



Liquid from drums shall be charged in day tank or to reactor with the

help of FLP motorized barrel pump. alternatively vacuum lock could also

be used in day tank for transfer of liquid from drum (pumping under

vacuum). Day tank vent shall be connected to fume gas scrubber.

Little or partial handling area is equipped with suction hood which finally

connect with fume scrubber.

A portable duct connection shall the mounted on drum vent nozzle to

exhaust fume while opening lid of the drum.

10.5.2 Water Environment


supply. Total water requirement of the plant will be 742 KLD; out of which

228 KLD will be fresh water requirement and 514 KLD will be met from

recycle/treated water (condensate recovery from MEE & RO permeate).

Wastewater generation will be from process, lab, utilities, washing. Total

industrial wastewater generation will be 526 KLD.

The unit will have full-fledged Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) to treat

wastewater generated from production plant and utilities. ETP consist full-

fledged primary treatment plant for treatment of process effluent followed

by MEE and primary and tertiary treatment plants for washing and utilities

effluent followed by RO (Reverse Osmosis). Primary treated effluent will be

sent to RO, MEE and permeates of RO and recovered condensate water

from MEE will be recycled/reuse. Hence, unit will achieve zero discharge.

Treatment Scheme:

Primary Treatment:

Effluent from industrial wastewater will be passed through oil & grease/

solvent trap followed by equalization tanks. In equalization tank, effluent

will be equalized and neutralized using alkali (Hydrated Lime). Then

effluent be passed through flash mixer provided with alum/poly dosing for

coagulation and then to flocculation tank to enhance the formation of flocs.

The effluent will then be led to clarifier to remove solids. The effluent from

primary settling tank will then be led for tertiary treatment and then

evaporated into Multi Effect Evaporator.



Same way, effluent generated from scrubber, washing and utilities will be

equalize and be neutralized using alkali (Hydrated Lime). Then effluent

pumped primary tank to remove solids. The effluent from primary settling

tank will then be led for tertiary treatment and then evaporated into Multi

Effect Evaporator.

Tertiary Treatment (Zero Liquid Discharge)

Effluent after primary treatment will be treated further in reverse osmosis

(RO) plant. Before effluent passing through RO, it will be filtering though

sand filter. RO plant will be based on membrane technology. Permeate

generated from the system will be recycled and reused in the plant.

Rejects generated from RO plant will be evaporated in multiple effect

evaporators. Condensate i.e. water evaporated from multiple effect

evaporator will also be recycled and reused in the plant. Solid separated in

Agitated Thin Film Dryer (ATFD) and dried sludge will be sent to common

TSDF site along with ETP sludge.

Details of RO

Process block diagram for effluent treatment system with zero liquid

discharge system is given in figure-2.2 & 2.3 of chapter-2.

Effluent treated in primary effluent treatment plant will be fed to advance

Plate Tube RO plant after passing through sand filters. PT membrane

module systems have been successful in the recovery of reusable permeate

from effluent thereby reducing overall hydraulic load of discharge by way

of recycling of treated effluent. The plate Tube RO system is having high

tolerance against fouling, high recovery rate and high rejection qualities

which is unique in the efficient treatment of industrial effluent. The unique

modular construction and its method of operation, enhances the membrane

performance and reduces organic and inorganic coatings on the

membranes. The pre-filtration unit consists of an upstream pressure pump,

a multi-layer reversible flow filter system and downstream multiple

cartridge filters. The untreated water quality after mechanical pre-filtration

is sufficiently good for the operation of PT module system. Due to the

hydraulic arrangement of the PT module and the excellent chemical



resistance of the membranes used, chemical conditioning of the untreated

water is usually eliminated.

Multiple Effect Evaporator (MEE) & Agitated Thin Film Drier (ATFD)

MEE

Process effluent after primary treatment and Reject from RO will be led to

MEE. There will be preheaters to heat the feed. Feed will be introduced into

pre-heaters which are connected to the shell side condenser and the

calendrias. In pre-heater feed is sequentially preheated before feeding to

calendria for concentration.

The preheated feed is then fed to Calendria top. The concentrate from this

calendria is fed to another Calendria for further concentration and so on.

The final product of evaporator is taken out from last Calendria.

Steam is used on motive side of TVR which sucks vapours from second

stage vapour separator and mixed vapour are introduced on shell side of

first stage calendria as heating medium. Balance evaporated vapours from

second calendria are used as heating medium in third calendria.

Evaporated vapour from first Calendria is used as a heating medium for

second calendria and soon. Evaporated vapour from third Calendria is used

as a heating medium for another calendria. Evaporated vapour from last

calendria is finally condensed in condenser where cooling water is used as

cooling medium. Condensate from first Calendria is flashed on shell side of

second Calendria and so on. A common pump is provided to take

condensate out. Non-condensable from each shell are drawn and sent to

condenser. Uncondensed non-condensable are sent out by vacuum pump

hooked up to the condenser. Concentrate from MEE is collected and led to

ATFD.

ATFD

Concentrate from MEE will be led to ATFD to get dry powder. ATFD is a

jacketed vessel with a rotor inside to continuously wipe the evaporation

surface. Feed is introduced on the top disc of the rotor. There is a feed

distributor of rotary type. Slits in the disc throw the liquid to wall of vessel

due to centrifugal action and uniformly distribute the same. Steam is

introduced on the jacket side as the heating medium. Wiper blades



mounted on the rotor continuously wipes the feed traveling on thewall

inside. The feed starts evaporating and the wipers remove deposition of

product on inner wall and try to maintain heat transfer area clean. The

solids are collected at bottom. Steam condensing on jacket side is drained

out through steam trap. The vapours generated inside travel to the

condenser where they get condensed on the condenser tubes. Cooling

water is circulated in condenser as coolant. The condensate is separately

collected at bottom and is taken out by condensate pump. The vacuum

connection (negative pressure) to the system maintains required vacuum

in system through an induction blower normally.

Treatment of Toxic & Cyanide containing stream:

Effluent treatment plant for Cyanide removal Effluent from the plant is

collected in FRP tanks at plant level. Initially, its pH is lowered to 2.0 pH by

adding Sulphuric Acid. Acidic effluent is then heated with the help of direct

steam. Then pH of effluent is maintained between 4 to 5 by adding soda

ash. At this stage toxic and complex cyanides get precipitated and are

allowed to settle in bottom. The clear solutions in vessel which contain

traces cyanide are detoxified by the addition sodium hypochlorite 8-10%

solution. This treatment will reduce cyanide level in effluent up to 0.2 ppm

level which is then mixed up with main effluent treatment streams (ETP).

Bottom residue containing heavy organics & phenol compound will be

incinerated in in-house Incinerator.

The mitigation measures for minimizing the impacts on water environment

in general includes following:

- Minimization of water use

- Reuse/recycle option

- Treatment philosophy to achieve mandated standards

Some of the measures, which are to be implemented, include:

- Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor to reduce the amount

of wastewater generated.

- Reducing the actual process water consumption by way of improvement

in operation of processing units.

- Ensuring proper operation and maintenance schedule for the ETP.



10.5.3 Hazardous/Solid Waste Management

The Waste Management plan includes:

- Classification of waste

- Collection, storage, transportation, disposal & sell to approved TSDF

site/CHWIF/appropriate recycler &/or reuse.

- Data management and reporting

- Personnel Training

- Waste Minimization

The source of solid/hazardous waste generation will be ETP sludge & MEE

salt, process residue, spent catalyst, incineration ash, off specific products,

discarded containers/liners, used lubricating oil.

ETP sludge, MEE salt & Incineration ash will be disposed by land filling at

approved TSDF site. Process residue & Off specific products will be

incinerated in our own incinerator. Spent catalyst will be sent for







10.5.4 Noise Control Technique

The main sources of noise generation will be from installation of new

machineries and equipments, APC system, D.G. set. However, these

impacts will be very minor and temporary in nature. The impact on the

environment during the operational phase will be long term but of

insignificant.

However, to minimize the noise pollution the unit proposes the following

noise control measures,

Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or

protective measures should be provided, if required (wherever noise

level is more than 90 dB (A)).



Employees should be provided with ear protection measures like

earplugs or earmuffs. Earplug should be provided to all workers where

exposure is 85 dB (A) or more.

The transportation contractor shall be informed to avoid unnecessary

speeding of the vehicles inside the premises.

Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be carried

out for the machineries and equipments to reduce noise generation.

The selection of any new plant equipment will be made with

specification of low noise levels.

Areas with high noise levels will be identified and segregated where

possible and will include prominently displayed caution boards.

Greenbelt area will be developed within industrial premises and around

the periphery to prevent the noise pollution in surrounding area.

By taking measures as mentioned above, it is anticipated that noise levels

in the plant will be maintained below the permissible limit.

10.6 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the air

pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics improvement of the

area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere. The unit proposes to

develop the green belt on 15365 m2 area, which will be around 33% of the

utilized area of the project. Greenbelt will be developed by planting

drought resistant trees suitable for local climate. Moreover, avenue trees

will be planted all along the roads and local species are recommended. The

density of tree will be 1000 tree per acres i.e. 1 tree per 4 m2 to minimize

the effect of air and noise pollution and to improve overall environment.

These trees are planted in open and close patches in multiple rows.

The plantation of trees in and around the company are meant mainly to

reduce air pollution caused by factory emissions, to absorb sound, to

prevent soil erosion and to maintain aesthetic value for healthy living. For

the development of greenbelt, plants having simple big leaves and native

species are preferred to the plants.



The plants are suitable for greenbelt development based on gaseous

exchange capacity of foliage which is ascertained by the following

characteristics:

- The plant should be fast growing.

- It should have thick canopy cover.

- It should be perennial and evergreen.

- It should have large leaf area index.

- It should be indigenous.

- It should be efficient in absorbing pollutants without significant effects

on plant growth.

The objectives of the industrial greenbelt are to improve the micro-

environment. The success depends on the type of land available and

selection of suitable tree species for pollution control. Selection of tree

species for industrial areas is influenced by the nature of industry. The

objective should be to ensure a green cover tolerating pollutant gases and

solid particulates present in the atmosphere. It is also advisable to select

suitable tree species and adopt simple techniques which require minimum

investment and care.

Design of Green Belt

As far as possible, following guidelines will be considered in greenbelt

development.

The spacing between the trees will be maintained as per SPCB

guideline i.e. 1 tree/4 sqm.

Spaces, so that the trees may grow vertically and slightly increase the

effective height of the green belt.

Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered orientation.

The short trees (< 10 m height) will be planted in the first two rows

(towards plant side) of the green belt. The tall trees (> 10 m height)

will be planted in the outer three rows (away from plant side).

Planting methodology

The plantation shall be done in pits. Pits of about 50 cm dia shall be dug in

grid of 0.5 m x 0.5 m up to a depth of 0.3 m. The pit shall be refilled with

soil after the planting. The sampling of healthy, nursery raised, seedlings in



polythene containers shall be transported in baskets. Planting shall be done

after first monsoon showers.

The level of soil is about 10 cm above of ground level. The soil around the

plant shall be pressed to form a low through. About 25 gm chemical

fertilizers shall be added in ring of 25 cm radius around the plant. Watering

shall be continued after plantation if any dry spells follows. Planted area

shall be inspected and mortality rate ensured for each species. The dead

and drying plant shall be replaced by fresh seedlings.

Plantation Programme

Plantation of trees in and around the company are meant mainly to reduce

air pollution caused by factory emissions, to absorb sound, to prevent soil

erosion and to maintain aesthetic value for healthy living.

List of suggested species for greenbelt

Following list of trees are suggested for the greenbelt development with

respect to this particular area. They are mostly deciduous and evergreen

tree types suitable to be grown in the area.

Botanical Name Common Name

Azadiracta Indica Neem

Polyalthia longifolia Asopalav

Albizia lebbeck Siris

Delonix regia Gulmohar

Mitragyna parvifolia Kadam

Pongamia pinnata Karanj

Syzygium cumini Jamun

Survival rate of trees and post plantation care

Considering the availability of water and general survey of surrounding

area, the survival rate is expected to be around 70-75%. Moreover, the

wire net guards will be provided to protect the saplings. The same will be

properly manure and watered so that it can grow well.

Protection of plantation site:

Protection from grazing will be done by erecting tree guards a rounded

planted sapling.



Though the tree suggested for plantation will require very less water,

however during the first year watering will be done twice in a day. There

after watering will be done twice in a week.

The manuring will be done when plantation take up. For this propose

cow dung will be dump in the pit. No other manuring will require for

proposed plantation. Cow dung is easily available in the study area.

Damaged plants will be replaced with new plants.

10.7 Resource Conservation/Waste Minimization, Recycling, Reuse and

Cleaner Production Options

Used solvent will be in-house purify and reuse in next batch, which is a

step towards waste-minimization. Unit will recycle 69% of water from RO

permeate & MEE condensate. Unit shall also implement the concept of

waste minimization circle including:

Good House Keeping: Proper house keeping practices makes the system

easier and less costly.

Solid wastes e.g. powders, spills, etc. in process and packaging are to

be separately collected and disposed off instead of allowing these to

effluent streams. This will reduce load and increase the efficiency of

treatment system.

Liquid wastes from various sections will be collected and treat with

effluents.

Rain water harvesting system will be adopted to reduce the fresh water

requirement.

Other cleaner production technology shall be adopted for the resource

conservation and pollution control.

10.8 TOXIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

Identification of Toxic material with its toxicity

Hazard & Toxic identification of each toxic raw material. Store it after

compatibility study.

Storage and handling of Toxic Chemicals

Hazardous chemicals must be stored and transported carefully according to

specific instructions given in MSDS. Before storing hazardous chemicals,

check the label for advice about storage; identify the toxicity and stability



of the substance. Consider compatibility of toxic chemicals. Safe design,

location and installation of storage and handling systems (e.g. racking

systems, tanks). Separate incompatible substances to prevent reactive

chemicals interacting. Control potential ignition sources around flammable

substances. Be prepared for spill containment and have clean up systems

Improvement in solvent recovery: Solvent recovery should be

improved and attempts should be made to achieve at least 95% recovery

wherever possible. Rest of the solvents which cannot be recovered shall be

incinerated as residue. Based on the past experience, we will establish

above practice.

Hazardous air pollutant control: For air pollution control from

processes, scrubber efficiency will be designed and maintained as per the

best practicable technology for control of HCl, Cl2, SO2.

Personal protective equipment (PPE): Worker should be wear Personal

protective equipment (PPEs) can include, gloves and safety boots, clothing,

such as high visibility vests, hearing protective devices, such as ear muffs

and ear plugs, respirators, eye and face protection, such as goggles safety

helmets and sun hats.

10.9 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH & SAFETY

The following check-ups shall be carried out regularly to avoid occupational

hazard,

Pre-medical check-up of the employees at the time of employment in

unit.

Provision of periodic medical check-up for all the employees.

First aid training shall also be given to the employees.

Monitoring of occupational hazards like noise, ventilation, chemical

exposure shall be carried out at frequent intervals.

Appointing the medical officer for the regular medical examination and

treatment of the employee.

The following precautions shall be taken to avoid foreseeable accident like

spillage, fire and explosion hazards and to minimize the effect of any such

accident and to combat the emergency at site level in case of emergency.



Various emergency spots in plant area will be identified and kept in

sharp and alert watch.

Protective equipments will be regularly checked and will be kept easily

accessible and easily workable during emergency.

Safety installations like available quantity of running water will be

regularly watched.

Fire bucket and hose reels will be provided to withstand the fire or

explosion conditions.

Various types of fire extinguishers such as (Foam type, water CO2 type,

CO2 type) will be provided inside the factory premises.

Every pressure vessel will be provided with minimum one or more

pressure relief devices. The design of the valve is made in such a way

that the breakage of any part will not obstruct force discharge of the

liquid under pressure. Moreover, relief valves are tested and a periodic

schedule for their testing shall be maintained. The defective valves will

be removed if found unsafe for the operation.

10.9.1 Possibility of occupational health hazard, its control &

Occupational surveillance

An occupational hazard is a thing or situation with the potential to harm a

worker. Occupational hazards can be divided into two categories: safety

hazards that cause accidents that physically injure workers, and health

hazards which result in the development of disease. Hazards can be rated

according to the severity of the harm they cause - a significant hazard

being one with the potential to cause a critical injury or death.

Chemical agents: There are possibility to generate gases, vapours and

aerosols (dusts, fumes, mists). We will take care to reduce it at optimum

minimum level and advices to workers to use PPE who work in such

identify area.

Noise: Noise is considered as any unwanted sound that may adversely

affect the health and well-being of individuals or populations. Aspects of

noise hazards include total energy of the sound, frequency distribution,

duration of exposure and impulsive noise. Noise might result in acute

effects like communication problems, decreased concentration, and



sleepiness and as a consequence interference with job performance.

Exposure to high levels of noise (usually above 85 dB(A)) over a significant

period of time may cause both temporary and chronic hearing loss.

Permanent hearing loss is the most common occupational disease in

compensation claims. There will be no high noise level issue. However, unit

will identify such areas like D.G. Sets, utilities area and advice to workers

to not enter without PPE.

Occupational surveillance involves active programmes to anticipate,

observe, measure, evaluate and control exposures to potential health

hazards in the workplace. Depending upon the occupational environment

and problem, two surveillance methods can be employed: medical and

environmental.

1. Medical surveillance is used to detect the presence or absence of

adverse health effects for an individual from occupational exposure to

contaminants, by performing medical examinations and appropriate tests.

2. Environmental surveillance is used to document potential exposure

to contaminants for a group of employees, by measuring the concentration

of contaminants in the air, in bulk samples of materials and on surfaces.

Medical surveillance is performed because diseases can be caused or

exacerbated by exposure to hazardous substances. So periodic medical

check-up will be carried out.

10.9.2 Preventive Measures

The methods of protecting the work force from exposure to toxic agents

in the workplace:

Enclosures or special ventilator control of processes;

Good general ventilation - particularly important if the solvent is used

in a confined space;

Personal protection - Protective clothing should be worn, including

gloves. Suitable respiratory protection is necessary like Panorama gas

mask with cartridge suitable for the chemicals we will be handling,

Breathing air apparatus and Air hood with instrument air connection.

Keep Emergency alarm systems in confined area.

Emergency preparedness plan.



10.10 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

Unit will employ well qualified and experienced safety manager and make

arrangement for part time/full time doctor for regular checking of health of

the employees. Also, plans to become member of any local hospital for

emergency need. Annual health check for employees will be carried out

and record will be maintained. Regular training to plant personnel in safety

fire fighting and first aid will be provided.

Unit will maintain a healthy work environment. This is accomplished

through the identification, evaluation and control of workplace

environmental factors which may cause sickness, impaired health or

significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers. Environmental

factors such as noise, physical hazards toxicity/chemical hazard and

ergonomic hazards are monitored on a periodic basis. Workers exposed to

noise and toxic materials will be evaluated against applicable recognised

exposure levels in the Factories Act. Hearing protection aid will be provided

to workers who work in the high noise areas, during construction of the

proposed facilities and also to those who will continue through the life of

the facility.

(A) Exposure of workers with major chemicals

Mainly Solvents, acids will be the major chemicals where workers are

directly exposed. All workers are directly or indirectly comes with above

chemicals are aware about the hazardousness of such chemicals and all

have provide Personnel protective equipments and also provide appropriate

training for use it.

(B) List of chemicals, their threshold limit and measures

Unit will use numbers chemicals where workers are directly or indirectly

exposed in work area. Details of hazardous chemicals characteristics are

summarized in Chapter-7 of RA report. Unit will handle above chemicals

with proper handling process suggested in MSDS. Estimated work area

quality with TWA limit is summarized in Table 2.9(d) of Chapter-2.

Measured value indicates that exposure of such chemicals are within the

Threshold Limit Values (TLV)/Permission Exposure Levels as per ACGIH

recommendation.



(C) Details of Pre-placement and periodical medical monitoring of

workers

Pre-employment Medical Examinations

There are two main purposes of pre-employment medical examinations:

1. To provide base-line health data against which subsequent

changes after employment can be evaluated

This is important for assessment of the effectiveness of preventive

measures at work. For example, where the hearing threshold of a worker,

which is normal before employment in a noisy occupation, is found to have

increased after employment, this possibly indicates noise-induced hearing

loss and a review of the hearing protection measures would be required.

On the other hand, if the pre-employment hearing threshold of the workers

has not been assessed, it would be difficult to ascertain whether the

worker’s high hearing threshold after employment is due to excessive noise

exposure at work or to his own hearing problem before employment. Pre-

employment health data is also important in substantiating or negating

employees’ compensation claims since it provides evidence of the health

status of claimants before employment.

2. To ensure medical fitness for work

Pre-employment medical examinations identify those persons who are

medically unfit for employment in particular occupations. Persons with

certain underlying medical conditions are particularly vulnerable to the

effects of certain health hazards and are not suitable for employment in

particular occupations. Persons with certain underlying medical conditions

are particularly vulnerable to the effects of certain health hazards and are

not suitable for employment in work with such exposures. For example,

workers with thalassemia (a genetic disease of the blood) should not be

engaged in work involving lead exposure which may aggravate the

anaemia. Workers may fail to meet the specific health requirements for

particular job so that they cannot undertake the jobs safely without risks to

themselves or others.



Periodic Medical Examinations

Periodic medical examinations aim to detect susceptible workers for whom

corrective actions are required before they develop overt occupational

diseases. The frequency of periodic medical examinations depends on the

nature of the occupational hazards. For most hazardous exposures,

however, these examinations are conducted annually.

Requirements of Medical Examination

The requirements of medical examinations depend on the nature of the

hazardous exposures of workers. In general, the doctor will take a detailed

occupational and medical history, conduct a physical examination and

prescribe a range of ancillary laboratory and/or radiological investigations

such as urine test, blood test, X-ray, lung function test and audiometric

test.

Liver Function Test (LFT)

Clinical examination and Pre-placement medical examination carried out in

every 12 months. Liver function tests including serum bilirubin, alkaline

phosphatase estimations every 12 months are required.

Occupational Health and First aid measures

Unit is using numbers of chemicals/solvents, which if handled in safe ways

with all precautions (as detailed in respective MSDS) will not cause harm to

employees. However, in rare case of exposures, immediate action is to be

taken to save life and reduce the extent of damage. Unit has first aid

facilities and calling base ambulance facilities as and when required.

Industry will appoint part time doctor for periodically health check-up.

Instructions for immediate actions to exposures to some of the chemicals

will be given to employees.

Mitigation Measures:

Entire materials will be transfer either pneumatically or closed manner and

charging the raw materials in reactor with deep charges so that chances of

un-reacted materials are minimized.

Engineering controls

Engineering controls are the preferred method of controlling exposure to

workplace hazards. They can be placed in three categories:



Substitution includes the use of a less hazardous material, a change in

the process equipment used, or a change in the process itself. Care must

be taken to ensure that the substitution actually does result in less

hazardous conditions.

Isolation is a method of limiting exposure to those employees who are

working directly with the hazard, often by enclosing them within a

containment structure. While isolation will reduce the risk to those outside

the isolated area, it should be accompanied by appropriate controls to

ensure that those within are not faced with an increased exposure to the

hazard.

Ventilation is most important for the control of airborne hazards. It

involves the removal (from the workplace) of air that contains a hazardous

contaminant and its replacement with uncontaminated outside air. There

are two types: local exhaust and general dilution. A properly designed local

exhaust system can capture a contaminant where it is generated and

remove it before it is dispersed into the work environment.

Unit have focus on above three areas to maintain work air quality in work

zone area.

10.10.1 Occupational Health and First aid measures

Unit will use numbers of chemicals/solvents, which if handled in safe ways

with all precautions (as detailed in respective MSDS) will not cause harm to

employees. However, in rare case of exposures, immediate action is to be

taken to save life and reduce the extent of damage. Unit has first aid

facilities and ambulance facilities are available round the clock. Industry

has appointed part time doctor for periodically health check-up of workers.

Instructions for immediate actions to exposures to some of the chemicals

will be given to employees.

10.10.2 Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety

A hazardous chemical directory is being developed to maintain information

on the hazards associated with each chemical used. Copies of Material

Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous materials at the existing/proposed

facility will be kept at the unit and will be available for employee review.

Specific programs and procedures for the control of health hazards



associated with potentially harmful materials such as Acids, Alkali and

solvents etc. will be followed. The hazard communication program will

serve as the basis for selection of personal protective equipment such as

gloves, goggles, face shields, etc. A select group of employees at the

proposed facilities will receive first aid training to provide an immediate

response and medical care for injuries.

Material handling areas should be clearly defined.

The workers should be made aware about the hazards associated with

manual material handling.

A written process safety information document should be compiled for

general use.

The document compilation should include an assessment of the hazards

presented including (i) Physical data (ii) Thermal data (iii) Process and

mechanical design.

Personnel engaged in handling of hazard activities should be trained to

respond in an unlikely event of emergencies.

The plant should check and ensure that all instruments provided in the

plant are in good condition and documented.

10.11 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES:

Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) refers to voluntary actions

undertaken by company/organization to either improve the living

conditions (economically, socially, environmentally) of local communities or

to reduce the negative effects of the project. By definition, voluntary

actions are those that go beyond legal obligations, contracts, and license

agreements.

Socio-economic development activities is a concept of organization

11.2 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

11.2.1 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STUDY

To predict the impact of the proposed activities on the surrounding

environment, the current baseline environmental status was studied by

collecting the data and carrying out monitoring for the period of March,

2015 to May, 2015. The baseline data for ambient air quality, surface

and ground water quality, noise and soil quality was collected and

analyzed for various parameters.

11.2.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at eight AAQM

locations, with a frequency of twice a week, to assess the existing

sub-regional air quality status during the period of March, 2015 to May,

2015.

Respirable Dust Sampler & Fine Particular Sampler along with the

analytical methods, prescribed by CPCB was used for carrying out air

quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and

NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison with

ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control

Board. The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed



for different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard

deviation, minimum and maximum concentration and various percentile

values. The observations are summarized below:

Particulate Matter (PM10)


locations varied between 55.5-67.6 g/m3 and 60.3-77.0 g/m3, which

are well within the stipulated standard of CPCB, 100 g/m3.

Particulate Matter (PM2.5)


locations varied between 28.5-35.6 g/m3 and 33.8-41.7 g/m3, which

are well within the stipulated standard of CPCB, 60 g/m3.

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of arithmetic


g/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated standards of 80

g/m3.

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly NOx value of arithmetic


g/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the standards stipulated

by CPCB, i.e. 80 g/m3.

Conclusion:

The quality of ambient air in the study area is compared with AAQM

Standards prescribed by CPCB & found below the prescribed standards.

11.2.3 Water Environment

Four surface water & eight ground water samples were collected during

the study period.

Surface Water Quality

Surface water samples were collected from Vadadala Pond, Kadodara

Pond, Vav Pond, and Galenda Pond. Results of the same are given in

Chapter-3 of EIA report.



Conclusion:

It was observed that, results of all the Physico-chemical parameters and

heavy metals from surface water samples are below stipulated drinking

water standards IS: 10500-2012 & it is suitable for drinking and other

purposes.

Ground Water Quality

Ground water samples have been collected from Vadadala, Galenda,

Jolva, Vav, Kadodara, Rahiyad, Nadarkha, Narnavi village.

Color: All the samples were colorless meeting desirable norms.

pH: All the samples meet the desirable standards (pH ranges from 7.21

to 7.96).

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS in samples ranges from 1830 mg/L

(Narnavi) to 3174 mg/L (Vadadala). All the samples exceed the

permissible limit of 2000 mg/L (Except Nadarkha & Narnavi), (If alternate

sources of potable water are not available).

Calcium: Calcium contents in the water ranges from 116 mg/L

(Nadarkha) to 196 mg/L (Narnavi), all the samples meet the permissible

limit of 200 mg/L. (If alternate sources of potable water are not

available).

Magnesium: Magnesium content in the water ranges from 52 mg/L

(Narnavi) to 81 mg/L (Vav). All the samples meet even the permissible

limit of 100 mg/L (if alternate source of potable water in not available).

Sulphate: Sulphate content in the water ranges from 181 mg/L

(Nadarkha) to 469 mg/L (Vadadala). All the samples meet the

permissible limit of 400 mg/L (Except Vadadala, Vav & Rahiyad) for

drinking water.

Fluoride: Fluoride content in the water ranges from 0.43 mg/L (Rahiyad)

to 0.77 mg/L (Vav). All the samples meet the permissible limit (1.5

mg/L).

Total Alkalinity: Total alkalinity in the water samples ranges from 201

mg/L (Vav) to 314 mg/L (Nadarkha). All the samples are within the

permissible limit of drinking water (600 mg/L) (if alternate source of

portable water is not available).



Other Parameters: Potassium (ranges from 15 mg/L to 77 mg/L),

Sodium (ranges from 494 mg/L to 785 mg/L) and Chloride (ranges from

947 mg/L to 1218 mg/L).

Heavy metals like copper, lead, chromium and zinc are found below

detectable limit in all samples.

Conclusions:

Ground water samples from villages meet the permissible limit set by the

authority (BIS), except parameters like TDS, Sulphate and Chloride &

Hardness. The observed higher concentration of TDS & its related

parameters is due to proximity of sea (Gulf of Khambhat).

11.2.4 Noise Environment

The noise monitoring has been conducted for determination of noise

levels at eight locations in the study area.

The Leq values of noise levels during day-time varied from 41.9 dB(A) to

60.8 dB(A). Highest Leq daytime value was recorded near plant site. The

Leq values of noise levels during night time varied from 37.7 dB(A) to

53.4 dB(A). Highest Leq value during night time was also recorded at

plant site.

11.3 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION

MEASURES

The summary of anticipated adverse environmental impacts due to

proposed project and mitigation measures are given below:

11.3.1 Impacts on Air quality & Mitigation measures:

Flue gas emission will be from common stack of 2 nos. of boiler, one

stack of Thermic Fluid Heater (TFH) & one stack of stand by D.G. set due

to combustion of fuel. Coal will be used as fuel in boiler & TFH and diesel

will be used in D. G. Set.




Natural Gas/FO will be used as fuel in incinerator.

The impacts are quantified using ISCST3 model. The results indicate

marginal increase in the ambient air quality parameters. The predicted



values for SPM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 are 0.721 g/m3, 0.540 g/m3, 0.313

g/m3, 0.212 g/m3, 0.0034 g/m3 respectively. The point of maximum

concentration by unit would be 1.41 km from centre of industry in SE

direction.

With this marginal contribution due to the proposed activities, the levels

of SPM, SO2 and NOX will remain well below the 24-hourly ambient air

quality standards for SO2 & NOx (80 g/m3), PM10 (100 g/m3), PM2.5 (60

g/m3), HCl & Cl2 (norms not prescribed by CPCB) as prescribed by CPCB.

To mitigate the impact due to the proposed project, unit has proposed to

provide cyclone & bag filer as APCM to the flue gas stacks & adequate

scrubbing system for process vent. Adequate stack height will also be

provided for proper atmosphere dispersion as per the Pollution Control

norms.

11.3.2 Impacts on Water Environment & Mitigation measures:

Total water requirement of the plant will be 742 kl/day; out of which 228

KL/day will be fresh water requirement and 514 KL/day will be met from

recycle/treated water (condensate recovery from MEE & RO permeate).


supply. The main source of the industrial wastewater generation will be

from process, floor washing, lab, scrubber & utilities. Total industrial &

domestic wastewater generation will be 535 KLD. Process & Lab w/w will

be evaporated through MEE after primary & tertiary treatment in ETP.

Condensate will be reused. Effluent from washing, scrubber, utilities




premises and unit will achieve zero discharge of effluent.

Domestic w/w will be disposed in soak pit followed by septic tank.

11.3.3 Impacts on Noise quality & Mitigation measures:

The noise will generate due to boiler, compressors, D.G set and other

machineries. The impact is found to be insignificant outside the premises.

To decrease the noise pollution impact, unit will provide necessary PPEs

like earplugs or earmuffs to all workers where exposure is 85 dB(A) or



more and selection of any equipment will be made with specification of

low noise levels.

11.3.4 Impacts on Soil & Mitigation measures:

The solid/hazardous wastes generated from the unit may have significant

negative impacts if disposed unsystematically. Hence, appropriate

measures for storage and disposal of solid wastes are adopted as per the

regulatory guidelines.

11.3.5 Impacts on Socio Economy & Mitigation measures:

There is a potential for direct/indirect employment for the locals due to

the proposed project. Unit will improve infrastructure facilities in the

villages.

11.4 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAMME

Risk analysis and study have been carried out for identification of

accident hazards, selection of credible scenarios, Risk Mitigation

measures etc. All the hazardous chemicals will be stored and handled as

per MSDS guidelines. The detail study is prescribed in Chapter-7.

11.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

The EMP is covers the impacts identified during construction and

operation stages and mitigation measures suggested. The Impacts during

construction stage are temporary and negligible; impacts during

operational phase are permanent & management plan of impacts

identified is detailed below:

Liquid Effluents:


process, scrubber, washing and utilities. Entire quantity of process & lab

wastewater will be sent to MEE after primary & tertiary treatment in ETP.

Condensate will be reused. Effluent from washing, scrubber, utilities




premises and unit will achieve zero discharge of effluent. Domestic w/w

will be disposed in soak pit followed by septic tank.

Water Management

The unit will maintain the records for the total water consumption at

various resources.

RO permeate & condensate of MEE will be reuse/recycled.

No wastewater discharge outside the premises.

Rain water harvesting system would be implemented to recharge

ground water.

Air Pollution control measures:

Main source of emissions will be flue gas emission from one common

stack of 2 nos. of boilers and Thermic Fluid Heater due combustion of

fuel. Coal will be used as fuel in boiler and TFH. Cyclone and Bag filter is



used as APCM in stack attached to boiler and TFH. Emitted pollutants

from flue gas stack will be PM, SO2 and NOX.

Alkali scrubber will be installed to the stack attached to incinerator. Water

scrubber followed by alkali scrubber will be installed to stack attached to

process reactors.

Adequate stack height will be provided for proper dispersion of pollutants

as per GPCB guideline. Thus, air pollution control system proposed by the

unit will be adequate to meet gaseous emission norms.

Unit is also proposed to install stand by D.G. set of 1000 kVA capacity to

fulfill power requirement in case of emergency, where diesel will be used

as a fuel. Emitted flue gas pollutants will be SPM, SO2 and NOx. Adequate

stack height will be provided for proper dispersion of pollutants.

Hazardous/Solid Waste Management:

Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as per

Hazardous & Other Waste (Management & Transboundary Movement)

Rules’2016. ETP sludge, MEE salt & Incineration ash will be disposed by

land filling at approved TSDF site. Process residue & Off specific products

will be incinerated in our own incinerator. Spent catalyst will be sent for







Thus, hazardous waste management system proposed by the unit is

adequate. There will not be any major impact on the environment due to

hazardous waste management.

Noise Pollution control measures:

Noise is anticipated from process plant & other machineries, Boiler, D. G.

set, reactors, vehicular transportation etc. The D. G. shall be kept in a

separate enclosed room with acoustic enclosure. The motors and

compressors shall be mounted properly to ensure the reduction of noise

and vibration. The employees working in noise generating areas shall be



provided with appropriate Personnel Protective Equipments (PPEs). The

greenbelt area is developed within industrial premises and around the

periphery to prevent the noise pollution in surrounding area.

Green Belt Development:

Total land area is 46560.13 m2. Unit proposes to develop greenbelt in

area of 15365 m2 and it will be 33% of the total area of the project.

11.7 PROJECT BENEFITS

The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semi-

skilled and unskilled employees during construction phase as well as

operational phase.

11.8 CONCLUSION

Based on the study it is concluded that-

There will be no major impact on water environment as effluent will

be treated in ETP followed by RO & MEE to achieve zero discharge.

RO permeate & condensate of MEE will be reuse/recycled.

Coal will be used as fuel in boiler & thermic fluid heater; hence

cyclone separator & bag filter will be installed as an APCM in flue gas

stacks.

Efficient scrubbers will be installed to process stacks.

To prevent fugitive emission various step will be taken like regular

sprinkling of water and paved road.

Adequate arrangement for handling and disposal of Hazardous solid

waste will be made as per regulatory norms.

Fire protection and safety measures will be provided to take care of

fire and explosion hazard.

Fire Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: of combustible materials

Explosion Hazards in Presence of Various Substances: Explosive in presence of open flames and sparks, of heat, oforganic materials, of metals, of acids.

Fire Fighting Media and Instructions:Fire: Small fires: Use water. Do not use dry chemicals or foams. CO2, or Halon may provide limited control. Large fires: Floodfire area with water from a distance. Move containers from fire area if you can do it without risk. Do not move cargo or vehicleif cargo has been exposed to heat. Fight fire from maximum distance or use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles.Cool containers with flooding quantities of water until well after fire is out. ALWAYS stay away from tanks engulfed in fire.For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible, withdraw from area and let fire burn. /Hydrogen peroxide, aqueous solution, with not less than 8% but less than 20% Hydrogen peroxide; Hydrogen peroxide,

Special Remarks on Fire Hazards:Most cellulose (wood, cotton) materials contain enough catalyst to cause spontaneous ignition with 90% Hydrogen Peroxide.Hydrogen Peroxide is a strong oxider. It is not flammable itself, but it can cause spontaneous combustion of flammablematerials and continued support of the combustion because it liberates oxygen as it decomposes. Hydrogen peroxide mixedwith magnesium and a trace of magnesium dioxide will ignite immediately.

Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards:Soluble fuels (acetone, ethanol, glycerol) will detonate on a mixture with peroxide over 30% concentration, the violenceincreasing with concentration.

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.

Hand protection Chemical-resistant, impervious gloves complying with an approved standard should be worn at all times when handling chemical products if a risk assessment indicates this is necessary. If contact with the liquid is possible, insulated gloves suitable for low temperatures should be worn. Considering the parameters specified by the glove manufacturer, check during use that the gloves are still retaining their protective properties. It should be noted that the time to breakthrough for any glove material may be different for different glove manufacturers. In the case of mixtures, consisting of several substances, the protection time of the gloves cannot be accurately estimated.

Safety eyewear complying with an approved standard should be used when a risk assessment indicates this is necessary to avoid exposure to liquid splashes, mists,gases or dusts. If contact is possible, the following protection should be worn, unless the assessment indicates a higher degree of protection: chemical splash goggles and/or face shield. If inhalation hazards exist, a full-face respirator may be required instead.

Eye/face protection

:

:

Environmental exposure controls

: Emissions from ventilation or work process equipment should be checked to ensure they comply with the requirements of environmental protection legislation. In some cases, fume scrubbers, filters or engineering modifications to the process equipment will be necessary to reduce emissions to acceptable levels.

Appropriate engineering controls

: Use only with adequate ventilation. Use process enclosures, local exhaust ventilation or other engineering controls to keep worker exposure to airborne contaminants below any recommended or statutory limits. The engineering controls also need to keep gas,vapor or dust concentrations below any lower explosive limits. Use explosion-proof ventilation equipment.

Wash hands, forearms and face thoroughly after handling chemical products, before eating, smoking and using the lavatory and at the end of the working period.Appropriate techniques should be used to remove potentially contaminated clothing.Wash contaminated clothing before reusing. Ensure that eyewash stations and safety showers are close to the workstation location.

layer and separate organic layer. Aqueous layer containing acid which is back

extracted with EDC and then neutralized and transferred to ETP.

Denitrososation:

To remove N Nitroso impurity, reaction mass is treated with acetone and

Hydrochloric acid at elevated temperature in Glass lined vessel. After completion of

reaction neutralize excess hydrochloric acid with caustic lye and then washed with

water. Aqueous phase was separated Distilled out EDC from organic mass first at

atmospheric and then under vacuum to remove EDC. This will generate crude Molten

Pendimethalin.

19. Tebuconazole


Step: - 1 Process for the preparation of Dimethyl Sulfide (Solvent)

Dimethyl sulfate is reacted with aqueous solution of Sodium sulfide at 75 - 800C, to

form dimethyl sulfide. The Product is condensed and collected in receiver. Then

nitrogen is purged into the reactor to get maximum possible dimethyl sulfide

recovery. Spent liquor containing sodium sulfate is then transferred to ETP.

1-(4-Chlorophenyl)-4, 4’-dimethyl-pent-3- one (CPDP) is made to react with dimethyl

sulphate and potassium hydroxide in presence of dimethyl sulfide to give


tebuoxirane. The solvent dimethyl sulfide is recovered by distillation and then the

intermediate product (tebuoxirane) separated from the reactor. Then water is added

in the reactor to dissolve salt formed during the reaction and transferred to ETP.

Step: - 3 CONDENSATION

In dimethyl formamide, potassium carbonate, 1, 2, 4-triazole is added and then

above prepared oxirane is added at reflux temperature. After completion of the

reaction the mass is filtered and then solvent DMF is distilled out. Then the product

Tebuconazole is isolated by adding water. The slurry is filtered, centrifuged and

dried.

The filtered potassium carbonate sludge is washed with DMF to recover the product.

Treated sludge is then transferred to solid waste.

Issues raised Recommendation of panel Response of Project Proponents

Dabhaibhai C. Makwana, Deputy Sarapanch, Vill: Vadadala

He is coming to know about this Public Hearing just on today. Prior intimation to the local affected people about Public Hearing should be done. So, Local affected people can attend Public Hearing with study of upcoming project.

Is there any officer from GIDC is present?

GIDC should be informed to provide employment to the land looser as early as possible.

GIDC is not providing form to land looser. Hence, GIDC should provide details of survey number to local gram panchayat while allotting the land to the upcoming industry and distribute forms to land looser through gram panchayat for their convenience.

What about employment of land looser who lost their land under Plantation area developed by GIDC? Because no industries will be established in that area. So, Employment to land looser should be provided as early as possible otherwise company cannot provide them employment as per their age criteria.

--

Regional Officer GPCB has informed that No GIDC officer remained present during Public Hearing even though prior intimation to them. Even today no GIDC officer is present.

Chairman of Public Hearing has informed that GIDC has developed one software in which about 2899 data entry of land looser done. Out of which about 1200 to 1300 disputed cases regarding family inheritance. Recently meeting held at collector office with presence of MLA Vagra to discuss this matter. Discussion between GIDC and companies is under progress to provide employment of about 1600 non disputed land looser. This matter will be solved shortly. All discussion was done in the presence of MLA Vagra. Appropriate action will be taken for providing the employment in the nearby industry to land looser whose land acquired by GIDC for developing infrastructure facility like Road, canal, Reservoir and plantation.

Advertisement published earlier before 30 days regarding Public Hearing in local daily newspapers per EIA Notification. Executive summary in Gujarati with copy of Public Notice is displayed at Gram Panchayat/ Talati office. Acknowledgement of receiving executive summary by sarpanch/talati of local affected villages covered under study area is also taken. Announcement through loud speaker in local affected villages is also done for wide publicity of Public Hearing.

Why vehicle arrangement for local affected villagers to reach site of public hearing has been made today only? Why other companies are not providing such type of facility? He requested GPCB that such type of arrangement should be made during every Public Hearing.

Is there any time limit for lifting unauthorized hazardous waste while complaint made by Village sarpanch or member regarding unauthorized dumped solid waste or pollution?

Regional Officer has informed that at any time 24 hrs. in 365 days, they can registered their complaint regarding pollution to Regional Office Bharuch and it will be attended and disposed shortly. Non Hazardous glass wool waste in your area will be lifted after monsoon period and restart of TSDF site.

There is no provision in the EIA Notification for providing conveyance to local affected people. But for the sake of convenience to local affected people, they have made such type of arrangement.

The data and information given in this Performa are true to the best of my knowledge and belief.
