c. 22° 47' 33.38" N 69° 42' 16.18" E and d. 22° 47' 54.82" N 69° 42' 26.70" E 3. A 48” diameter crude oil pipeline connecting the SPM to COT for transferring crude

oil unloaded at the SPM to COT. This pipeline passes through the common pipeline corridor of Mundra Port, approved by MoEFCC and does not pass through any ecologically sensitive area.

1.3 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE NATURE OF PROJECT

The Mundra – Bathinda pipeline presently transports imported crude oil blends from Mundra Port to Guru Gobind Singh Refinery of HMEL at an installed capacity of 9 MMTPA with its head pumping station (also called dispatch terminal or DT) at Khasra no. 141/P, Village Mundra, Taluka Mundra, District Kutch in Gujarat and an intermediate pumping station (also called IPS-3) at Survey Nos. 152, 156, 157, 172, 173, Village Dhansa, Tehsil Jaswantpura, District Jalore in Rajasthan with provisions to expand its capacity to 18 MMTPA by converting its four intermediate pigging stations into pumping stations. The four intermediate pigging stations are located as under along the pipeline and have sufficient land for conversion into pumping stations.

a) IPS-1 : Survey Nos. 103/2-P1&P2, 104, 105, Village Dedarva, Taluka Rapar, District Kutch in Gujarat

b) IPS-2 : Survey Nos. 90/1P, 91, 92P1, Village Juna Raviyana, Taluka Kankrej, District Banaskantha in Gujarat

c) IPS-4 : Survey No. 219, Village Jud, Tehsil Osiyan, District Jodhpur in Rajasthan d) IPS-5 : Survey No. 67, Town Shri Dungargarh, Tehsil Shri Dungargarh, District

Bikaner in Rajasthan In the proposed project, the two of the four intermediate pigging stations of MBPL are proposed to be converted into pumping stations as under:

a) One among IPS-1 & IPS-2 will be selected for conversion based on engineering studies.

b) One among IPS-4 & IPS-5 will be selected for conversion based on engineering studies.

In these pumping stations, the crude oil will flow from pig receiver bypass line, will be filtered by the basket filters, monitored by ultrasonic flow meter, its pressure will be boosted by the mainline pumps and will flow back into the pipeline. Drained oil from pig receiver, main line pumps and basket filters shall be routed to existing licensed underground sump tanks from where it shall be pumped back into the pipeline. In case of any accidental spillage/leakage, oil will be recovered manually as far as practicable for suitable recovery. In emergency, the pumping shall be stopped bypassing the crude oil flow in Mundra - Bathinda pipeline. The project involves setting up of the following major facilities at each of these selected intermediate pigging stations:

Pumps, DG sets, metering unit, filtering unit, fire water network with pumps, pump sheds, control room, warehouse, canteen, parking sheds etc.

Alternative sites for the proposed project have not been considered as these intermediate pigging stations have sufficient land for conversion into pumping stations.

There is practically no requirement of constructing any additional facility at COT or the SPM or the pipeline connecting the SPM to COT or the Mundra – Bathinda Pipeline itself



Rev 0 Page 4 of 209






for their capacity expansion from present 9 MMTPA to 11.25 MMTPA. The capacity expansion of the SPM will simply be achieved by increasing the berth occupancy at the SPM from present approx. 19% to approx. 24% i.e. by unloading more crude oil tankers at the SPM to fill the storage tanks at COT at a higher frequency. Similarly capacity expansion of the COT from present 9 MMTPA to 11.25 MMTPA can be achieved by receiving crude oil from the SPM at a higher frequency commensurate to its berth occupancy of approx. 24% and pumping out the crude oil into the Mundra – Bathinda pipeline at a higher flow rate than present.

1.4 NEED FOR THE PROJECT AND IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY

The consumption of petroleum products in India is growing at a stable growth rate and with the sustained growth in the Indian Economy; the demand for energy is expected to rise steadily over the years. It is estimated that the demand for retail petroleum products will grow at around 5-6% per year in next 10 years. HPCL, a Navratna Public Sector Company is an integrated refining and marketing company in India and is one of the Sponsors of HMEL. Earlier, the gap between HPCL’s market share in North India was being met from other refiners till GGSR was set up to bridge the gap in refining capacity and demand off-take in the region to the extent possible. The refinery with Nelson Complexity index of 9.6 is configured to process heavy and acidic crudes like Maya and Doba and produces high value petrochemical products. There exists a large demand- supply mismatch of petroleum products in Northern India with demand outstripping the supply from other North Indian refineries and GGSR partially caters to this imbalance in the northern region of India.

1.5 PROJECT COST AND SCHEDULE

Total project cost is Rs.152 crores. The proposed project of additional facilities is expected to be mechanically completed in 12 months.

sanctuaries are present within 10 km surrounding areas from COT-Mundra and IPS Stations.

2.3 DETAILS OF ALTERNATIVE SITES

Alternate sites for the project have not been considered for the following reasons:

Selection of other site would have involved new land acquisition/purchase, thus would not

be cost effective.

Selection of other site would have involved conversion of agricultural land into industrial

land use and farmers would have been affected.









Selection of other site would have involved de-vegetating of new area which is not

required for the selected site.

The existing sites falls on the route of MBPL and are being used as pigging stations, thus

construction of facilities would be easy as compared to selection of another site that may

require development of new approach road, infrastructure and may involve diverting the

already laid MBPL through that land which would be a time consuming and costly affair

and may cause spillage of crude oil into the environment.

The above difficulties are not encountered in the existing sites.

2.4 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

The broad scope of the project covers the following facilities that are envisaged for the Project.

Mainline Pumps along with its accessories and associated facilities like Basket Filters,

Plant Piping, Instruments, Metering and Control system will be added to the existing

facilities at two of HMPL’s existing intermediate pigging stations.

A Fire Hydrant network system with jockey pumps system for the pumping stations &

associated facilities will be added.

There will not be any change in SPM, COT, Pipeline connecting SPM to COT and Mundra

– Bathinda Pipeline itself.

The process flow diagram of intermediate pumping station is given in figure 2.8.

DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT









3.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT 3.1 INTRODUCTION

This chapter describes the description of the existing environmental status of the study area with reference to the prominent environmental attributes. The study area covers the area falling within 10 km radius around the IPS Stations located at Juna Raviya (Gujarat), Jud (Rajastahn), Crude Oil Terminal at Mundra and Crude Receiveing Terminal at Bhatinda. The existing environmental setting is considered to adjudge the baseline environmental conditions, which are described with respect to climate & metereoogy, land use, water quality, soil quality, noise levels, vegetation pattern, ecology, traffic density and socio-economic profile of local communities. This would help in assessing the environmental impacts due to the proposedproject. This report incorporates the baseline data monitored during one season (November 2016 – January 2014) by M/s Idma Laboratories Ltd, Chandigarh. M/s Idma Laboratories Ltd (Accrediated by NABL and recognized by MoEF) has carried out baseline data collection for air, water, noise, traffic and soil environment.

3.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT 3.2.1 Micrometeorological Data

Both primary and secondary data were compared to understand the micrometerological conditions in the project area. This is described in the following paragraphs.

3.2.1.1Secondary Data / Historical Data (IMD)

Historical data on meteorological parameters also plays an important role in identifying the general meteorological status of the region. Month wise data for the period of 5 years (2009-13) were collected from the two districts of Gujarat (Ahmedabad and Rajkot) IMD departments as representatives of the project area.Parameters such as Temperature, Relative Humidity, Rainfall, Wind Direction and Speed are considered for the study. Data collected from IMD, Ahmedabad Station

The monthly mean maximum temperature was recorded 36.3 °C and the monthly mean minimum temperature was recorded 19.2 °C. Maximum temperatures were mostly recorded in the months of April and May representing summer season, where as minimum recorded in the months of December and January representing winter season. The monthly mean maximum and minimum humidity levels were recorded 88.1% and 25.4% respectively. Maximum humidity levels were recorded in the month of August and minimum humidity levels were recorded in the months of April. Out of 5 year data collected (2009-2013), maximum annual rainfall recorded was 1168.5 mm in the year 2010. As per meteorological observation, Wind speed and directions are recorded only 2 times in a day viz., 8:30 and 17:30 hrsout of 24 hr duration.









The available data was used to draw wind roses based on the percentage frequency and they are depicted in Table 3.1 and Figure 3.1. The predominant wind direction observed was SW followed by NW.

3.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

3.3.1Noise monitoring locations

A total of 2 locations each were identified for noise measurement at Mundra, IPS-2, IPS-4 and Bhatinda keeping in view of various local activities such as residential, commercial, sensitive and industrial activities. The lists of noise monitoring stations are listed in Table 3.51.

3.3.2 Methodology of Noise measurement

Hourly noise measurements were made thrice in 12 week study period using noise meters. The observations were measured as Lday , Lnight and Leq. Lday is defined as the equivalent noise level measured over a period of time during day (6 am to 10 pm). Lnight is defined as the equivalent noise level measured over a period of time during night (10 pm to 6 am).

3.3.3 Results and Discussion

Noise levels ranges from 50.5 to 52.9 dBA during day time (Leqday) and from 39.8 to 41.2 dBA during night time (Leqnight) at Bhatinda (Table 3.51). Noise levels ranges from 49.3 to 50.5 dBA during day time (Leqday) and from 39.9 to 41.3 dBA during night time (Leqnight) at IPS-2 (Table 3.52). Noise levels ranges from 51.5 to 52.9 dBA during day time (Leqday) and from 39.4 to 43.0 dBA during night time (Leqnight) at IPS-4 (Table 3.53). Noise levels ranges from 50.1 to 53.1 dBA during day time (Leqday) and from 39.1 to 41.1 dBA during night time (Leqnight) at Mundra (Table 3.54). The noise levels are well within limits stipulated for residential zone (55 dBA during day & 45 dBA during night), except one









reading at monitoring location at Sanchore which is attributed to its close proximity to highway.

3.6.2 Methodology of Sample Collection and Analysis

Along the study area, total 2 samples each were collected (Mundra, IPS-2, IPS-4, Bhatinda) to establish the Physico-chemical and biological status of the existing soil in the region. A summary of sampling and analysis procedure (as per ISO 1038 on collection, handling and storage) is given below: Selection of site

A visual survey of the field is made in slope, texture, and cropping pattern.

The collection site is demarcated into uniform portions, each of which sampled separately.

Details of vegetation cover and of chemical and biological additions or accidental contamination are recorded.

Sampling is made during normal environmental conditions.

Collection

Surface layer is scrapped to avoid surface vegetation, litter, visible roots and soil fauna.

The samples are designated according to the sampling area, unit and horizons.

A sample hole at a depth of 15cm is dug to collect 2kg of soil for physico-chemical analyses.

Transportation Conditions

Soil is packed in a dark polythene bags for transportation to avoid changes in water content.









Sample Processing

Samples are dried in hot air cabinet (at 800 Deg C).

After drying, soils are sieved through 2mm size sieve to remove pebbles, gravels, stones and plant debris.

Then the soil is crushed to fine particles for further analyses. Storage of Samples

If further storage is required, then the samples are kept at dark at 40C ± 20C with free access of air or in a loosely tied plastic bag.

All the chemical parameters were analyzed as per ‘Soil analyses’ by Jackson, 1994 and ISO Standards Compendium ‘Environmental Soil Quality’.

3.7.1 Introduction

Socio economic survey is necessary in EIA report preparation to predict the changes on social and economic status. Hence baseline data for demographic characteristics, education, health, amenities and sensitive locations have been studied in and around the study area.

3.7.2 Socioeconomic Structure

Village/town wise Population, Households, Occupation and Literacy status have been collected based on Census, 2011 in the following pattern.

1. Total population 2. Population (0-6 years) 3. Literacy rate (Persons) 4. Literacy rate (Males) 5. Literacy rate (Females) 6. Total worker persons(main+ marginal) 7. Total worker males (main + marginal) 8. Total worker females (main + marginal) 9. Main workers (Persons) 10. Marginal workers (Persons) 11. Non workers (Persons) 12. Non workers (Males) 13. Non workers (Females)









3.7.2.1 Households

A 'household' is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a common household. Each such person was to be treated as separate households. The important link is finding out whether it was a household or not was a common kitchen. There may be one member households, two member households or multi-member households. There are 774596 households found in the study area.

3.7.2.2 Population

The Total population is 3953130. In that, male and female populations are2043634 and 1909356 respectively. The SC and ST population from the total population constitutes about 8.85% and 1.15% respectively.

3.7.2.3 Occupational Structure Work may be defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation and wages. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. It even includes part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. All persons engaged in 'work' as defined above are workers. Persons who are engagedin cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as workers. Occupational structure is divided into 3 categories viz., Main workers, Marginal workers and other workers. The Total Workers in study area are 1546899. The criteria of dividing type of workers are as follows: Main workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. 6 months or more) are termed as Main Workers. The total number of main workers are 1306742. Marginal workers: Those workers who have not worked for the major point of the reference period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as marginal workers. The total Number of marginal workers are 240157.

Other workers: All workers, i.e., those who have been engaged in some economic activity during the last one-year, but are not cultivators or agricultural laborers or in Household Industry, are 'Other Workers (OW)'. The type of workers that come under this category of 'OW' include all government servants, municipal employees, teachers,

factory workers, plantation workers, those engaged in trade, commerce, business, transport banking, mining, construction, political or social work, priests, entertainment artists, etc.The total “Other workers” are 2400404.









3.7.2.4 Literacy A person aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding of any language has been taken as literate. It is not necessary for a person to have received any formal education or passed any minimum educational standard for being treated as literate. People who were blind and could read in Braille are treated to be literates. A person, who can only read but cannot write, is treated as illiterate. All children of age 6 years or less, even if going to school and have picked up reading and writing, are treated as illiterates. The number of literates and illiterates within the study area are mentioned in table-3 of Annexure-V. The literate population is 2549397 (64.6%) among the Total population of 3947303and the illiterate population is 1397906 (35.4%).The literacy rate in the study area is around 10% less as compare to average Indian literacy standard of 2014 (74.04%). Sufficient number of schools have been noticed in study area catering to education of children.

3.7.2.5 Economic resource The economic resource base of the Rajasthan state is agriculture. The major food crops grown in the study area of Rajasthan are Wheat, Bajra, rapeseed, pulses, while, oil seeds are the main commercial crops. The economic resource base of Gujarat state is agriculture. The major crops grown in the study area are Jowar, Bajra, Ground nut, Cotton and Castor.

3.7.2.6 Health Status Based on data collected from Primary Health Centers (PHC), it shows that diarrhoea is reported high in Rainy season because of water changes and there is no spread of vector borne diseases like malaria, etc. In the study area hospitals with adequate health care facilities are available, health camps and health awareness programmes on various diseases also conducted by PHC people.

3.7.2.7 Culture

The study area covers centre of diverse cultural activities and diverse traditions of different ethnic and religious communities. Popular celebrations and observances include Uttarayan - Kite festival and Navaratri with people performing Garba - folk dance of the state of Gujarat. People in the area are known for their specialty of folk art such as embroidery work, Moiri foot wear, mirror and high quality idols of Lord Ganesh.

3.8 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Biological studies are one of the important aspects of Environmental Impact Assessment with a view to understand the ecosystems and biodiversity in the study area and assess the need for conservation actions. Generally, biological communities are good indicators of climatic and edaphic factors.









3.8.1 Methodology Flora To achieve above objectives a detailed study of the area was undertaken in 10-km radius area with all IPS Stations. The different methods adopted were as follows:

Compilation of secondary data with respect to the study area from published literature and Government agencies;

Generation of first hand data by undertaking systematic ecological studies in the area;

Interrogating local people so as to elicit information for local plants, animals and their uses.

Fauna Random walk and opportunistic observations were used for documenting the birds. However, point count methods were used in mudflat and wetland areas. Birds were identified with the help of binocular and standard field identification guidesduring morning (06:00 to 10:00 hrs) and evening (17:00 to 19:00 hrs) hours. Data on fresh water fishes in Kutch were collected from locals, including flisher folk and secondary sources. Both direct (visual encounter survey) and indirect methods (tracks &signs) were used to document mammals. Visual encounter survey method was followed to identify herpetofauna (amphibians and reptiles).

3.8.2 Literature survey

The vegetation types found in the study areas of Rajasthan and Gujarat region, based on Champion & Seth classification system of India, are as below:

Desert dune scrub and thorn forest vegetation in Jalore, Barmer, Jodhpur, Nagaur, Bikaner, Churu and Hanumangarh Districts of Rajasthan

Dry deciduous scrub land in Patan & Banaskantha districts of Gujarat

Coastal vegetation found near the Kutch district of Gujarat

Detailed description of the vegetation types in different habitats found in the study areas are given below.

3.8.2.1Rajasthan region

The study area falls under Thar Desert which supports desert vegetation. A major portion of the area is occupied either by dry open grassland or by grassland interspersed with trees and thorny bushes (Gupta, 1975). Most of the grasslands are Dichanthium – Lasiurus – Cenchrus type (Dabadghao and Shankarnarayan, 1973) and the vegetation consists of drought resistant stunted, thorny or prickly shrubs and perennial herbs (Bhandari, 1990). Vegetations of Thar are divided into following habitats (Shetty, 1994).









Desert Dune Scrub This type of scrub is characterized a very open and irregular formation of stunted trees and bushes covering only a small proportion of the soil. The trees are thorny and all vegetation is markedly xerophytic. The dominant vegetation of this type is Prosopis spicigera, Acacia senegal, Zizyphus nummularia, Capparis decidua, Leptadenia pyrotechnica, Crotalaria burhia, Calotropis procera etc. The subdominant species recorded are Prosopis sp., Capparis sp., Euphorbia sp., and Opuntia sp., Ficus benghalensis is observed near villages and by the roadside. Many tree species are found to be planted in the greenbelt of small and large industries in the area consisting of Cassia siamea, Delonix regia, Bauhinia sp., Acacia auriculaformis, Eucalyptus sp., Mangifera indica etc.

Sand Dunes and Inter-dunal Plains Nearly 58% of the Thar is covered with sand dunes and interdunal plains. Many shifting dunes are bare but stabilized dunes are generally covered with Capparis deciduas (Ker), Calotropis procera (Aak), Calligonum polygonoides (Phog), Acacia senegal (Kumat), Prosopis cineraria (Khejri), Aerva javanica, Aristida funiculata, Aristida adscensionis, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, D. sindicum and other psammophytic species. At the base of the dunes and inter-dunal plains, which retain comparatively more moisture, the vegetation may consist of trees and shrubs such as Acacia senegal, A. jacquemontii, P. cineraria, Tecomella undulata, Salvadora persica and Zizyphus nummularia. Citrullus colocynthis and C. lanatus are the creepers.

Sandy Plains

Besides some of the trees and shrubs mentioned above sandy plains may also have herbs and shrubs such as Crotalaria burhia, Farseti hamiltonii, Heliptorium, Indigofera cordifolia, Leptadenia pyrotechnica and Tephrosia purpurea.

Gravelly Pediments

Beside, the sandy plains and sand dunes, the most common feature of the Thar is gravelly pediments and low hills seen around Barmer. The dominant tree is P. cineraria and Salvadora persica. Dominant shrub species are of Maytenus emarginata (Hingot), Calotropis procera, Euphorbia, Capparis decidua and Zizyphus nummularia. Common grass is Aristida funiculata.

Hilly and Rocky Outcrops This feature exists in some parts of Barmer. However, it spreads about 13,200 km2 areas in western Rajasthan, mainly near Barmer, Kailana- Jodhpur- Mador and Jalore. The characteristic plants of these rocky outcrops are thor (Euphorbia caducifolia), kumatha (Acacia senegal), dhok (Anogeissus pendula), ker (Capparis decidua), gugal (Commiphora wightti), kankera (Maytenus emarginata) and dholken (Grewia tenax). There are a large number of shrubs, annual herbs and climbers recorded in the region.

Saline flats and Depressions There are many saline depressions in the Thar with their characteristic halophytic vegetation consisting of Salsola baryosma, Chenopodium, Haloxylon salinicornicum and









Sueda fruticosa. The major grasses and sedges are Eleusine compressa, Eragrostis ciliaris, Dactyloctenium aegyptium, Cyperus rotundus and C. arenarius. The most famous saline depressions are in Pachpadra Lake. The other depression is at Kawas and has tree species Tamarix auriculata, Fagonia cretica, P. juliflora etc.

Seasonal wetland

Interestingly there are many tanks and ponds in the villages in the Thar Desert for storing and collecting rainwater. These wet lands receive water during rainy season and become dry in Decemeber. These smaller wetlands and village ponds have Potentila supine, Pullicaria crispa, Cyperus rotundus, Fimbristylis dichotoma and Scirpus roylei species along the edge and Ceratophyllum, Hydrilla verticillata, Ipomea aquatica, Nymphoea and Vallisneria spiralis in the water.

3.8.2.2Gujarat Region

Dry Deciduous Scrub

The floristic study reveals species composition, which represents poor gene pool uniformly spread in restricted vegetation patches around human settlements. Collection of dead and dried branches for fuel, hard wood and local trees for construction purpose, grazing practice on vegetated land is also common. The nature of vegetation covers in this region is mixed, tropical dry, uneven-age deciduous vegetation with marked dominance of Acacia sp., Dalbergia latifolia, Bauhinia purpurea, Ficus racemosa, Mangifera indica, Butea monosperma, Sapindus emarginatus, and Gmelina arborea. Most of the vegetation aggregates on agricultural bunds, near roadsides, on degraded village lands, canal sides and wastelands.

The vertical structure of the vegetation shows three distinguished storey i.e. Top, Middle and Ground. Azadirachta indica, Dalbergia latifolia, Bauhinia purpurea, Ficus racemosa, Mangifera indica, Butea monosperma etc. comprises top storey of the forest. Adhatoda vasica, Cassia fistula, Calotropis gigantea, Dalbergia sissoo, Lantana camara, Euphorbia nevulia, Opuntia elator, Prosopis juliflora, Zizyphus rugosa etc. forms middle storey of region. Ground vegetation cover is of Ageratum coyizoides, Argemone mexicana, Dipcadi montanum, Erantemum roseum, Leucas aspera, Phyllanthus niruri, Solanum xanthocarpum, Tinospora cardifolia etc.

Coastal Vegetation

The composition of vegetation in some coastal region like Mundra is littoral and swamp, uneven-aged, mixed, moist deciduous natural forests. Vegetation is extremely irregular and varying considerably in condition, composition, and density. Generally trees observed here have low stunted branches, diffuse crown. Dependency of villagers on natural vegetation in this region is more for timber and firewood. Most of the vegetation aggregates near villages mainly composed of Albizzia chinensis, Bauhinia racemosa, Ficus recemosa, Syzygium cumini, Terminalia tomentosa etc. The phyto-ecological structure of vegetation shows three different strata i.e. Top, Middle and Ground. Top storey covered by, Albizzia chinensis, Bauhinia racemosa, Bombax malabaricum, Butea monosperma, Ficus recemosa, Syzygium cumini, Sapindus emarginatus, Terminalia tomentosa etc. Middle storey in this region comprises Adhatoda









vasica, Capparis spinosa, Euphorbia nevulia, Crotolaria retusa, Emblica officinalis, Lantana camara etc. The dominant herbs in ground vegetation are Aegeratum conyzoides, Argemone mexicana, Celosia argentea, Indigofera tinctoria, Tridax procumbens etc. The area near coastal villages has poor vegetation as compared to other places. Trees species like Cocos nucifera, Phoenix robusta, Ficus sp, Bahunia racemosa, Cassia fistula, Acacia catechu and Azadirachta indica along with Prosopis juliflora are observed in some places. The vegetation is degraded due to the human and live stock interference in this region. Herbs are abundant only during monsoon. The area is dominated with tree members as compared to shrubs and herbs. The vegetation in this region has been exploited in the past therefore the present condition is degraded. Mangifera indica and Azadirachta indica are the dominant tree species.

Productivity of the agricultural crops in this region is very low because of poor soil quality, infrequent and inadequate rainfall, water scarcity, low consumption of fertilizer, and lack of improved agricultural technology.

3.8.3 National Parks and Sanctuaries

There are no Wildlife Sanctuaries and Naional Parks present in 10 km surrounding of COT, IPS 1, IPS 2, IPS 3, IPS 4, IPS 5 and CRT.

3.8.4 Field Survey Results

Different ecosystems such as desert, wasteland, agricultural fields, scrub land, surface water bodies (ponds and rivers) were surveyed in the study area.

3.8.5 Floral diversity A total of 196 species of plants (including wild, ornamental and cultivated plants) belonging 62 plant families were documented and identified. The identified plant species with scientific name, family and habit are given in Table 3.68 of Annexure VI.A total of 18 species which are only found in Rajasthan state, are given in Table 3.69 of Annexure VI.

3.8.6.7 Insects

The study carried out indicated the presence of insects belonging to the family of the orders of Odonata, orthoptera, Dermaptera, Isoptera, Malaphaga, Hemiptera, Neurooptera, Lepidoptera, Diptera, Hymenoptera and coleoptera.

3.8.6.8 Migratory Routes

There are no established migratory routes in the Rajasthan section of the study area. However, migratory movement of birds is seen the region outside the study area. The lesser floricans (Supheotides indica) arrive in the southeastern desert of Rajasthan only in the monsoon season.The common crane (Grus grmeus) is a palaearctic breeding species that spends winters in the Mediterranean North Africa and China but sub species G. gurus sub-species lilfordi migrates in winter to the Indian desert also. The Imperial sand grouse (Pterocles orientalis) is a palaeotropical bird and a winter visitor to the desert region and arrives in the Western Rajasthan desert in flocks of 20-500. Studies undertaken by Gujarat State Biodiversity Board (GSBB), Gujarat Institute of Desert Ecology (GUIDE) and Gujarat Ecological and Education Research (GEER) Foundation confirms there are no migratory routes in the study area of Gujarat. However, migratory movement of birds is seen the region outside the study area. Sarus Crane (Grus antigone) migrates from northern India and Common Crane (Grus grus) and Demoiselle Crane (Anthropoides virgo) migrates from the northern parts of the globe. Greater and lesser flamingos (Phoenicopterus roseus &Phoenicopterus minor) migrate to wetlands of Gujarat such as Nal Sarovar and Rann of Kutch. Great White Pelican (Pelecanus onocrotalus) is regularly seen inlarge numbers in the Ranns, lakes and even in village ponds.









3.8.6.9 Rare, Endangered and Threatened Faunal Species

The Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 provides protection to wild animals and for matters related to their ancillary or incidental death.Indian Peafowl is the only avian species found in the study area protected under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. Painted Stork and Oriental White Ibis found in study area in Gujarat are under IUCN threatened category. Mammals such as Desert fox, Wild boar, Chinkara, Blackbuck and Wild Ass reported in the study area are protected under the Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972. Desert fox and Chinkara is found in Rajasthan. Wild boar, Blackbuck and Wild Ass are found in Gujarat. All the above animals are not sighted in during field trip.

3.8.6.10 Livestock Population

Cattle rearing or animal husbandry is one of the main occupations of the people in the region resulting in high livestock population. Animal husbandry is the one of the most important sources of livelihood in these villages. Cows, camels and buffaloes are more important for richer people while goats, sheep and donkeys are the most important animals for the poorest families. Livestock densities are higher in Jalore region as compared to Barmer region. However, the ratio of livestock to human densities in these districts indicated 2.13 in Barmer as compared to 1.25 in Jalore district. Small ruminants like goat and sheep represent about 50% of the total livestock population. Such high load of livestock results in overgrazing of the existing vegetation. The grazier is used to pollard or de-branch the trees for their cattle. Most of the communities and castes in the region including ‘Rabaries’ (the main grazier) and other pastoral group lopp P. cineraria (Khejri) tree used for fodder and fuel wood. Whereas in the Bishnoi community residing areas, this tree remain unlopped.

3.8.7 Agriculture 3.8.7.1 Rajasthan Region

Agriculture is the main source of livelihood other than the livestock rearing. Rainwater is the main source for irrigation and drinking water in the region, tube-wells alsosupplement as a source of water for irrigation purposes, sprinkler systems are utilized for irrigating crops through tube-wells.

During the monsoon people prefer to grow pearl millet, commonly called as Bajra (Pennisetum typhoides). The other main crops are mungbean (Vigna radiata), moth (Vigna aconitifolia), til (Sesamum indicum) and the cash crop gaur (Cyamopsis tetragonoloba). In most of the region, a single crop is harvested, i.e the rainfed. Both irrigated and rain fed crops are taken by the farmer in some tehsils of the region like Guda Malani tehsil in Barmer and Bhinmal, Bagoda and Sanchor tehsil of Jalore district. Under irrigated conditions wheat (Triticum aestivum), bajra (Penisetum vulgare), zeera (Cuminum cymium), Isabgol (Plantago ovata) are the common crops sown.

3.8.7.2 Gujarat region

The staple food of the people in this region is rice and wheat. The common Kharif crops of this region are Kaushambi, groundnut, sesame, cotton, castor, bajra etc. whereas wheat, gram, cumin, ajwan (semi-rabi) are the Rabi crops. Productivity of the agriculture crops in this region is medium to low because of low per hectare consumption of









fertilizer, illiteracy and also due to the weather condition. List of agricultural crops grown in Rajasthan and Gujarat are given in Table 3.79. During the study period, all agricultural crops have been photographed and given below.

Greenbelt development 4.3.6 SOCIOECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT



There will be no economic or physical displacement due to the proposed project as there is no additional land requirement.

During the construction phase, local skilled and unskilled labour will get temporary employment based on required skill sets. However, as the development will be phase-wise, the total number of locals employed at any one time may not be more than 200-300. HMPL has a philosophy of preferring local skilled and unskilled workers and service providers (e.g. transportation, material supply) during its projects in order to boost local employment generation. There will be movement of heavy vehicles (e.g. trucks, trailers, cargo vans) on local roads. These vehicles will be involved in supply of construction material, construction equipment pipes, raw water etc. to project sites. Heavy machineries (such as cranes, dozers, excavators etc.) will also be brought to the sites for earth-moving works, trenching, material movement pipe laying and backfilling. There will also be movement of car vehicles transporting staff and contracted construction labour from the nearby residential areas to the sites. On an average, movement 10 heavy vehicles and 15 passenger vehicles per day is expected. Vehicular movement in roads approaching remote project sites can potentially cause inconvenience to local road users and lead to road accidents. Company has a policy for road safety which sets speed limits and routes for vehicles operating for the company. Movement of heavy vehicles and machinery may cause damage to local roads, impede local traffic and create general disturbance to local people. Though preference will be given to local employment, some skilled and unskilled labour will be brought in by the EPC companies. Construction camps will be set up for housing the migrant workers and some may stay at nearby residential areas. There will be a general flow of truck drivers throughout the duration of the construction phase. There will be an impact on basic necessities like shelter, food, water, sanitation and medical facilities for the truck drivers. So there will be a short-term stress on housing, food supply, sanitation and medical facilities. There may also be chances of disputes between migrant work force and local community, though no such incidents have been reported in earlier projects. Indiscriminate disposal of wastes and wastewater may lead to community concern. The construction camps will be run based on very high standards of safety and hygiene. This includes proper ventilation and lighting arrangements in living quarters, hygienic









kitchen and mess, potable drinking water, adequate number of toilets and washrooms, drainage and waste collection, and waste water treatment facilities. The impact of construction activities on socio-economic environment during construction phase is summarized in Table 4.19.

Table 4.19: Impact on Socio-Economic Environment (construction phase)


Value of assessment

Justification

Intensity Low Involvement of labour, infrastructure and other utilities in marginal quantities/Nos.


Temporal Medium The impact has an medium term effect (1 week – 1 year)








Ensuring early payment of compensation

Training contractors on company road safety policy requirements

Monitoring speed and route of project-related vehicles

Determining allowable traffic patterns in the affected area

Upgrading local roads, wherever required, to ensure ease of project activity and community safety

Consolidating deliveries of materials and personnel to project sites, whenever feasible, to minimize flow of traffic

Minimizing interruption of access to community use of public infrastructure

Monitoring construction camp safety and hygiene

Preventing use of drugs and alcohol in project-sites

Preventing possession of firearms by project-personnel, except those responsible for security



Public perception is an important issue for all developmental projects. The IPS Stations and pipelines will be carrying hydrocarbons and this is likely to cause a perception of concern to the community members living close to the stations and route over safety.









HMPL addresses these concerns through focused information campaigns. Local employment related benefits are limited. Petty contracts for supplying water, providing security services, housekeeping and maintenance etc. will be given. Vehicle movements will be relatively lower than the construction phase. Approx. 5-10 personnel including staff and contractors will be travelling from nearby residential areas to the project site every day. Additional traffic of approx. 5 passenger vehicles and 1-2 heavy vehicles per day is expected. Road safety is an important agenda in HMPL’s HSE management system and travel of staff and contracted worker is very well regulated through tools such as journey management plan, defensive driving training, use of seat belts and vehicle tracking systems. The impact of these activities on socio-economic environment during operation phase is summarized in Table 4.20.

PUMPING STATIONS

6.0 EMERGENCY RESPONSE PLAN

The Emergency Response Plan is formulated with the broad objective of safeguarding human life and minimizing human suffering & property loss by localizing the emergency and to eliminate it as far as possible. Elimination of impacts of a foreseeable accident requires prompt action by operators and emergency staff using, e.g., fire-fighting equipment, shut-off valves and water sprays. Minimizing the effects include rescue, first aid, evacuation, rehabilitation and giving information promptly to people in nearby area.

6.1 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS Crude oil is highly inflammable due to low flash point, high volatility, low ignition energy requirement, high burning velocity, higher vapor density than air (due to which the vapor spreads on the ground & thus more susceptible to catch a ignition source), high heat of combustion & concentration in air being within the flammability limits in empty pipelines & tanks.

6.2 HAZARDOUS MATERIAL STORAGE, HANDLING & TRANSPORTATION

Various categories of crude oil are received through SPM and offshore/onshore pipeline of 48' diameter. From the pipeline the crude is stored in the respective tanks according to ullages. The pressure of the crude oil is boosted by Booster pumps and finally it is delivered to the cross country pipeline through mainline pumps.

6.3 Emergency Team

In case of any emergency each individual in the Terminal has to act in proper co-ordination to execute specific tasks under the designated team leader. This avoids overlapping of responsibilities & possible chaos at the time of emergency.

6.3.1 DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY

Incidents/scenarios like fires, explosions, natural calamities, sabotage, act of war or negligence may lead to an accident or disaster at the Terminal. As soon as any untoward incident is observed which has potential to lead to any emergency situation, it is the responsibility of the observer to rush to the spot of fire (depending on the amount of fire) with the nearest portable extinguisher available to him by shouting FIRE, FIRE, FIRE till he himself (or someone hears and rushes for help and arrange to) sound the siren. The person will break the glass of MCP immediately which makes alarm in the control room. Actuation of siren would mean declaration of emergency. A red colored flag would be used to indicate the site of fire. First observer must make sure that Incident Controller or Fire In-charge (Site Controller) is informed about the incident and takes overall charge of the situation. Fire in-charge will issue suitable instruction after quickly assessing the situation. The emergency will continue until all fire has been extinguished with no risk of re-ignition. On ensuring normal conditions Site Controller will declare normalcy.

6.3.2 Emergency Reporting Procedure and Organizational Structure

The emergency message is communicated in the following manner

Call Emergency message to Shift SupervisorI Operation Manager on Radio

Locale nearest telephone if Radio is unavailable



Rev. No. 0

Page 161 of 209

Providing an early warning/alarm system

Immediate response procedures/measures: As per OISO GDN·206 (Guidelines on Safety Management System in Petroleum Industry), a list of immediate actions to be taken in case of an emergency, should be provided along with the people/positions to perform the initial tasks

Mutual aid arrangements are to be worked out in the plan to facilitate additional help in the event of fire fighting or in rescue operations.

List of Do's and Don'ts to be carried out during emergency

Mock drills should be conducted periodically (Planned and Unannounced) The complete ERDMP plan for Mundra COT and Intermediate Pumping station at Dhansa is attached in Annexure VI.

6.4 RISK ASSESSMENT STUDY

The summary of major observations & recommendations of RRA study for the MBPL Capacity Expansion Project are recorded below. These recommendations are based on analysis of the consequence results due to credible leak scenarios at IPS-2 and IPS-4 respectively. AT IPS-2

a. Risk Analysis is carried out with crude pump (085-PA-CF-101B) as 2nd pump in operation and it is observed that due to 20 mm leak scenario at the pump discharge, the existing repeater building is getting affected by flash fire and 5 psi over pressure zone; However as envisaged in the Plot Plan, this building will be abandoned or dismantled prior to commissioning of the new crude pumps, hence any severe consequence due to this building is not foreseen. It is advised that crude handling area consisting of pumps, filters & meter etc. should be provided with adequate no. of Hydrocarbon Gas detectors and the access road around the pumping/metering facilities should be classified and restricted for vehicle movement except for handling emergency situation/crucial maintenance activities.

b. As the Jet Fire radiation intensity of 37.5 kW/m2 due to 20 mm leak at pump discharge is affecting the crude filters and since these filters are Potential Fire Equipment (hold up flammable inventory ≥ 5 tons), hence it is recommended to either;

Consider location of crude filter at least at 38 m from the mainline pump systems and 11 m from the metering assembly so as to restrict direct flame impingement due to jet fire on the filter;

Or,

Consider reducing holdup capacities of the crude filters by installing new add on filter in parallel, so that each filter hold up capacity is well below 5 tons;



Rev. No. 0

Page 162 of 209





PUMPING STATIONS

Or,

Consider fire proofing for the crude filters steel legs/supports.

c. A blast over pressure zone of 2 psi due to 20 mm leak at crude pump discharge may affect the existing emergency entrance guard room building, hence it is recommended to consider;

Relocating this building to a safe location outside the 2 psi over pressure zone; Or,

Keep this building unoccupied during normal Pumping operation.

d. A blast over pressure zone of 2 & 3 psi due to 20 mm leak in the metering assembly is affecting the northern side of the new control room, hence it is recommended that;

No glass pane window should be provided at northern side of the control room which is being affected by these over pressures;

Or,

(If unavoidable) the size of window pane should be minimized as much as possible and sitting arrangement, if any in the control room close to such window should be discouraged.

As there is negligible traffic on the road outside the IPS-2 and there also exists a 3m high compound wall separating the IPS-2 premises and the road outside, therefore the possibility of high heat radiation intensity wave (37.5 KW/m2 & 12 KW/m2) or overpressure wave (2, 3 & 5 psi) affecting any human being or property outside the IPS-2 premises is negligible.

AT IPS-4

a. It is recommended that crude handling area consisting of pumps, filters & meter etc.

should be provided with adequate no. of Hydrocarbon Gas detectors and the access road around the pumping/metering facilities should be classified and restricted for vehicle movement except for handling emergency situation/crucial maintenance activities.

b. As the Jet Fire radiation intensity of 37.5 kW/m2 due to 20 mm leak at pump discharge is affecting the crude filters and since these filters are Potential Fire Equipment (hold up flammable inventory ≥ 5 tons), hence it is recommended to either;

Consider location of crude filter at least at 37 m from the mainline pump systems and 27 m from the metering assembly so as to restrict direct flame impingement due to jet fire on the filter;

Or,

Consider reducing holdup capacities of the crude filters by installing new add on filter in parallel, so that each filter hold up capacity is well below 5 tons;

Or,

Consider fire proofing for the crude filters steel legs/supports. c. It is observed that 2 psi over pressure effect due to 20 mm leak at pump discharge is

reaching up to the western side of the new control room, hence it is recommended that;

No glass pane window should be provided at western side of the control room building being affected by this over pressure;



Rev. No. 0

Page 163 of 209





PUMPING STATIONS

Or,

(If unavoidable) the size of window pane should be minimized as much as possible and sitting arrangement, if any in the control room close to such window should be discouraged.

d. It is observed that the new switch Yard control room lies within 5 psi over pressure zone due to 20 mm leak scenario in the metering assembly. Hence, it is recommended that this building should be shifted outside the 5 psi over pressure zone at a suitable location.

e. Adjacent land plots outside the compound wall on the western and southern side are agricultural land without any human habitation and also there exists a 3m high compound wall separating the IPS-4 premises and these land plots, therefore the possibility of high heat radiation intensity wave (37.5 KW/m2 & 12 KW/m2) or overpressure wave (2, 3 & 5 psi) affecting any human being or property outside the IPS-4 premises is negligible.

COMMON RECOMMENDATIONS FOR IPS-2 AND IPS-4: a. A low frequency and high consequence failure scenario of large hole (50mm) is

analyzed at IPS-2 and IPS-4. Though possibility of occurrence of such scenario is extremely remote, the same shall be utilized in the preparation/updation of existing Disaster Management Plan (DMP) for the respective Intermediate pigging Cum Pumping stations.

b. Proper crude spillage maintenance policy along with adequate fire fighting facilities for the station should be in place for containment of crude spillage and fire propagation for the respective IP stations.

c. Safe evacuation plan should be made available for both the stations as a part of Disaster Management Plan and should also be implemented.

d. Proper checking of personnel at entry gates for inflammable materials to be ensured to avoid presence of any unidentified source of ignition.

e. Instrument tapping, small bore tapping and process equipments should be inspected regularly for integrity check. Periodic health check of equipments, instruments and maintenance of all equipments & pipings are required to be ensured. Periodic calibration of instruments and testing of alarms, trips, interlocks should be given due attention.

The complete risk assessment study report is attached in Annexure VII.

6.5 PUBLIC HEARING

Public hearing is exempted under section 7 (ii) of EIA Notification, 2006 as increase in pollution load is insignificant for the proposed project.










CHAPTER – 7

PROJECT BENEFITS










7.1 CONTRIBUTION TO NATIONAL ENERGY SECURITY

India has been witnessing rapid urban and industrial growth in the past two decades, and with the country’s current liberalization policy, this growth is expected to accelerate and need additional energy for development. As a consequence of the rapid rate of industrialization in India, fuel needs are increasing at an equally rapid rate and the supply-demand gap is widening and steps must be taken to address this issue. The proposed project will result in the supply of increased volumes of crude oil to Guru Gobind Singh Refinery for more production of cleaner fuel thereby contributing to meeting the energy security of the country.

7.2 REDUCED RISKS & COSTS

Overland transport of fuels by trucks is uneconomical, unsafe, and contributes to environmental degradation due to fuel consumption and air pollutants caused by vehicles in transit. It causes a potential for road accidents and spillages (common in India). Pipelines are internationally recognized as the preferred alternative for transport of fuels from the point of view of safety, economy and relative environmentally friendliness. The important factors affecting the operating economics of pipeline transportation are capital cost, and expenses towards maintenance under supervision. However these costs outweigh the expenses of any other mode of transportation on a long run. Hence this is an economical option particularly to provide reliable supply.

7.3 SOCIO-ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

The proposed project would generate some direct and indirect employment opportunities during construction and operation phases, which will benefit the local economy. The Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) program of HMPL will be extended to the new project areas. So, improvement in the overall socio-economic status of the new project areas, in the thematic areas of health, education, livelihood and infrastructure is expected.

8.7 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT IMPROVEMENT A proper greenbelt plan for Mumbai Refinery is envisaged in the design phase. The

greenbelt programme is proposed in phased manner. This will be applicable to new pumping stations and land available for IPS Stations.








8.7.1 Guidelines for Plantation

The plant species identified for greenbelt development will be planted using pitting technique. The pit size will be either 45 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm or 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm. Bigger pit size is preferred on marginal and poor quality soils. Soil proposed to be used for filling the pit will be mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure or sewage sludge at the rate of 2.5 kg (on dry weight basis) and 3.6 kg (on dry weight basis) for 45 cm x 45 cm x 45 cm and 60 cm x 60 cm x 60 cm size pits respectively. The filling of soils will be completed at least 5 - 10 days before the actual plantation. Healthy seedlings of identified species will be planted in each pit.

8.7.2 Species Selection Based on the regional background and soil quality, greenbelt will be developed. In greenbelt development, monocultures are not advisable due to its climatic factor and other environmental constrains. Greenbelt with varieties of species is preferred to maintain species diversity, rational utilization of nutrients and for maintaining health of the trees. Prepared in this way, the greenbelt will develop a favorable microclimate to support different micro-organisms in the soil and as a result of which soil quality will improve further. During the course of survey, it has been observed that the soil quality of the plant site is fairly good and can support varieties of dry deciduous plant species for greenbelt development. Manure and vermin-compost may be mixed with the soil used for filling the pit for getting better result for survival of plant species. Adequate watering is to be done to maintain the growth of young seedlings. Based on the regional background, extent of pollution load, soil quality, rainfall, temperature and human interactions, a number of species have been suggested to develop greenbelt in and around the refinery. These species can be planted in staggering arrangements within the plant premises. Some draught resistant plant species have been identified which can be planted for greenbelt development if sufficient water is not available. The suitable species for greenbelt development programme are given in Table 8.6. However, the species suitable for planting in the area as recommended by Central Pollution Control Board in their publication “Guidelines for Developing Greenbelts” (PROBES/75/1999-2000) are followed.

The species suggested here are commonly seen in and around the project area, fast growing and drought resistant. Seedlings / saplings of these species can be easily procured from local nurseries. The selection of plant species for the green belt








development depends on various factors such as climate, elevation and soil. The plants suggested for green belt were selected based on the following desirable characteristics.

Fast growing and providing optimum penetrability.

Evergreen with minimal litter fall.

Wind-firm and deep rooted.

The species will form a dense canopy.

Indigenous and locally available species.

Trees with high foliage density, larger of leaf sizes and hairy on surfaces.

Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.

Soil improving plants, such as nitrogen fixing plants, rapidly decomposable leaf litter.

Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing.

Bird and insect attracting plant species.

Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance

Species which can trap/sequester carbon

In addition, a lawn and floral garden with the varieties of small flowering plants may be developed near the office site for aesthetic value of the entire complex.

8.7.3 Plantation scheme Plant sapling will be planted in pits of about 3.0 to 4.0 m intervals. The pits will be filled with a mixture of good quality soil and organic manure (cow dung, agricultural waste, kitchen waste) and insecticide. The saplings / trees will be watered using the effluent from the sewage treatment plant and treated discharges from project. Sludge from the sewage treatment plant will be used as manure. In addition kitchen waste from plant canteen can be used as manure either after composting or by directly burying the manure at the base of the plants. Since, tests have shown that availability of phosphorus, a limiting nutrient, is low, phosphoric fertilizers will also be added. The saplings will be planted just after the commencement of the monsoons to ensure maximum survival. The species selected for plantation will be locally growing varieties with fast growth rate and ability to flourish even in poor quality soils. The greenbelt will be developed along the project boundary, Office building, designated greenbelt areas depending on the availability of space. The areas, which need special attention regarding green belt development in the project area, are:

a. Mumbai refinery plot Boundary b. Vacant Areas in around tanks c. Around Office Buildings. d. Along Road Sides (Avenue Plantation)

8.7.4 Post plantation care

Immediately after planting the seedlings, watering will be done. The wastewater discharges from different sewage treatment plant / out falls will be used for watering the plants during non-monsoon period. Further watering will depend on the rainfall. In the dry seasons watering will be regularly done especially during February to June. Watering of younger saplings will be more frequent. Organic manure will be used (animal dung, agricultural waste, kitchen waste etc.). Younger saplings will be surrounded with tree guards. Diseased and dead plants will be uprooted and destroyed and replaced by fresh saplings. Growth /








health and survival rate of saplings will be regularly monitored and remedial actions will be undertaken as required.

8.8 IMPLEMENTATION OF CSR PROGRAMMES

As described in section 8.3 of this Chapter, HMPL is running extensive CSR programs in the villages surrounding terminals and pipeline. HMPL will extend its programs to more villages surrounding terminals, pipeline and IPS stations in its focus areas of education, health, economic development and infrastructure development. The CSR activities along with budget spent during last 5 years of HMPL is given in Table 8.7.
