3.7.3 Organic Waste Converter

The Mechanical Composter (MC) is the perfect blend of nature’s gift to mankind -

decomposing bacteria and sheer engineering marvel, complementing each other to

produce odorless pre-organic compost in 15 minutes alone. The solution involves a

biomechanical process that will be a boon to resorts, hotels, temples, markets, hospitals,

townships, industrial canteens and clubs and resorts. The machine, occupying a small

area of yours is a tool to challenge the dumping site and we invite you to pioneer this

move for a cleaner and better environment.

Working Principle

Mechanical Composter converts the organic waste into odorless, pre-compost

manure in 15-20 minutes. The organic waste, freed from foreign particles is fed into MC.

The shredder reduces the organic waste into the optimum particle size for composting.

Then it is mixed with moisture absorbing materials and Useful micro-organisms. This

mixture is then blended for a homogeneous mixture and is converted into pre compost

manure in 20 minutes. The pre compost manure is then fed into aerated compost blocks

or 12 - 15 days.

35 JUNE2015


The compost blocks or piles are specially designed for the pre-compost manure to

have proper aeration and suitable environment to mature. The final manure will be rich

in nutrients and used for the development of green belt. The technical specification of

the Mechanical Composter is given below in Table.

Salient Features of Organic Waste Converter (OWC)

Quick, easy to operate, less space requirement and odor free manure

compared to other waste conversion process

Immediate and hygienic disposal of food waste

3. 3 RAINWATER HARVESTING & STORM WATER DRAIN

A rainwater harvesting system comprises components of various stages -

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

water through tanks. Percolation pits will be constructed for ground water recharge.

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

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

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

collected rainwater.

37 JUNE2015


3.8.1 Need for Rainwater Harvesting

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

ground water.

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

decreased drastically and recharging of ground water has diminished.

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

3.8.2 Rainwater Harvesting Network

Rain water harvesting trenches will be constructed all around the compound

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

storm drain. The depth of the trench will be 6m and the width will be 1.8m. The trench

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

rain water recharge pit is provided in Figure 3.6.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

with bores will be provided.

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

water potential. A total of 16 rain water harvesting pits will be constructed. The

quantity of run-off water potential for the proposed construction project is given below.

The rainwater harvesting arrangement helps in replenishing the underground water

column and soil lithography is given in Table 3.11.

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

the pebble bed of 6000 mm width & 1800 mm depth all around the building which will

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

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

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

Rain water harvesting layout, pit and trench details are shown in Figure 3.4 & 3.5.

Construction of the buildings will require additional power and energy

requirement. To minimize the energy consumption, buildings will be designed and

constructed according to Energy Conservation Building Code 2007 which sets minimum

energy standards for buildings. The following methods could be implemented to the

proposed buildings.

Some of the energy saving options will be informed to the staffs, students, and

workforce

Turn off all lights when not in use, especially in common rooms

Clean or replace your air-conditioner filters

Usage of Solar water heating systems

Usage of energy efficient equipment and appliances

Usage of CFL/LED lamps

Use of glazed windows with proper sealing to minimize infiltration

Use of occupancy sensors and dimmers for lights in the parking areas

Use of copper wound transformer

Use of under deck insulation in the roofs to reduce cooling load

Use of Variable frequency drives motors in the diesel generators and pumps

Planting deciduous varieties of trees on the south and on the west will help keep

buildings cool in the summer and allow sun to shine in the windows in the

winter. Shade trees will save up to 40 percent on your summer cooling costs

when the trees mature.

4.5 FIRE FIGHTING SYSTEM

Fire protection is one of the most essential services to be provided. The principal

objective of the rescue and fire fighting services is to save lives. For this reason, the

provision for means of quick dealing with an accident or incident occurring at, or in the

immediate vicinity of, any building, assumes primary importance because it is within

this area that there is the greatest opportunity of saving lives. This must assume at all

times the possibility of, and need for, extinguishing a fire which may occur either

immediately following an accident or incident, or at any time during rescue operations.

In the design component of the project, adequate measure is being taken as per the

provisions of the National Building Code, 2005. The fire fighting system will comprise

the following

4.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN

It is proposed to monitor essential parameters for ambient air quality, ambient

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

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

method of monitoring will be conducted as per norms of CPCB. Authenticity of baseline

monitoring report has been enclosed as Annexure XIII. However the monitoring

schedule is given in Table 4.4.

4.7 EMP BUDGET PROVISIONS

The implementation of the pollution control and environmental monitoring and

management programme is the basis of mitigation of impacts. The environmental

expenditures show commitment of the management on environmental front. The details

of the expenditure on environmental measures are given in Table 4.5.

4.8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL

Environment Management Cell (EMC) will look after the environment related

matters during the construction and operation phase of the project. EMC will

perform the following assignments.

Periodic monitoring of emissions and report any abnormalities for immediate

corrective measures.

Periodic monitoring of ambient air quality, ground and surface water quality.

Periodic noise monitoring of the building zone and surrounding area.

Regular monitoring of storm water drains.

Green belt plantation, maintenance, development of other forms of greenery.

Regular monitoring of solid wastes quantity and ascertaining avenues for

utilization of solid wastes.

Development & maintenance of schemes for water conservation.

The Environmental Management Cell (EMC) will take the overall responsibility

for coordination of the actions required for environmental management and mitigation,

and for monitoring the progress of the proposed management plans and actions to be

taken.

4.9 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT:

Green belt has been developing all around the housing project. The design of the

Greenery will be done in consultation with the experts in horticulture.

The philosophy behind the green belt development is

• to improve the ecology and environment by extensive afforestation.

• to capture the fugitive emissions

• to reduce the noise levels

• to upgrade aesthetics of the housing project
