EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
1.1 GENERAL
Industrial development is the key for the inclusive growth of our country and promoting it compatible
with all attributes of environment is the core requirement and immediate demand. Industries like
Textile Processing suffer technology upgradation for effective use of raw materials, machineries for
minimizing the residues and residue treatment and management. In the recent past, the textile process
industries in western Tamilnadu, quite successfully got the state of plant and machinery; but lacks
strategies for effluent management. The present proposal of Government of Tamilnadu is precisely
address this pressing demand to sustain and ensure sustainable development of textile processing
industries.
Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamilnadu Limited (SIPCOT) is the nodal agency of Government of
Tamilnadu for industrial promotion in the state. The proposed Integrated Textile Park by SIPCOT will
ensure the development of an exclusive Industrial Park with Common Effluent Treatment Plant (CETP)
with reuse of treated effluent systems and also Marine disposal system for reject management.
SIPCOT is the implementing agency of the proposed Integrated Textile Industrial Park (ITIP) will be first
of its kind for the state of Tamilnadu where the activities of Textile Processing Industries will be
regulated for effective resources and residue management with all implements to ensure sustainable
development of the project location with inclusive growth of the surrounding human environment.
The proposed ITIP is proposed to have industrial operations and net textile processing capacity from
Yarn processing to final garment, for a net capacity of 300 MT per day. The ITPT will be having several
member industries in cluster format with a Desalination Plant for 10 MLD plant and a Common Effluent
Treatment Plant (CETP) for 20 MLD with marine disposal facility (20 MLD) for RO rejects.
In the strategic planning by Government of Tamilnadu, SIPCOT intends to promote the ITIP in the
southern Tamilnadu in the coastal area to sustain the requirement of water and the effluent
management with marine disposal facility. The proposed ITIP will be established in

1.3 PROJECT PROPONENTS
Industries Promotion Corporation of Tamilnadu Limited (SIPCOT) is the proponent of the proposed ITPT
as an Industrial Complex exclusively to promote Textile Processing industries in the cluster format.
SIPCOT is the nodal agency of Government of Tamilnadu to ensure sustainable development of
industries, exclusively in developed land banks in cluster format and was established in the year 1971.
The objective of SIPCOT is to establish, develop, maintain and manage industrial complexes, parks and
Growth Centres at various places across the State of Tamil Nadu.
SIPCOT has so far developed 23 Industrial Complexes in 12 districts and Seven Sector Specific Special
Economic Zones (SEZs) across Tamil Nadu. SIPCOT is also a Nodal Agency for Government of Tamil Nadu
to sanction and disbursement of Structured Package of Financial Assistance to large industrial units.
SIPCOT's role in assisting the industrialization in the State is not only quantitative but also qualitative.
Instead of just accelerating the pace of industrial growth in already developed and densely populated
areas, SIPCOT strives to ensure that disbursal of financial incentives result in growth of industries in
backward and hitherto under developed areas.
SIPCOT has its administrative office at state level at 19/A, Rukmani Lakshmipathy Road, Egmore,
Chennai. This is now being headed by Smt. Vasuki, IAS as its Managing Director.

Management, Green belt development etc., and also coastal infrastructures of Sea Water Intake system
and Marine Disposal diffusers for the disposal of reject streams of RO plant. The preservation of coastal
resources and protection to coastline from erosion were also studied. Marine Environmental attributes
and Erosion Protection measures were specifically addressed in the EIA studies and reporting.
A compliance report for the approved ToR in preparing this draft EIA report is presented as ANNEXURE-
IV.
1.6 INTEGRATED TEXTILE INDUSTRIAL PARK
The project is an integrated Textile Industrial Park (ITIP) to promote textile processing industries with a
total processing capacity of 300 MT/day of Yarn, woven and knitted fabric, with all required
infrastructures as developed industrial plots.
The proposed land of 224.65 acres (90.912 ha) will be strategically divided into industrial plots with all
required infrastructures like Water, Power, Drainage, Roads, Green Belt Development, Rain water
structures. The proposed IP will be integrated with Desalination Plant, Common Effluent Treatment
Plant and Marine Disposal Facility for its RO rejects.
The proposed land use pattern of the project location is as follows;

Textile Processing is largely water intensive and with the varied types of dyes and auxiliary chemicals,
these industries generate complex effluent streams which are difficult to handle, treat, reuse/recycle
and dispose the final residue. At present, disposal of final treated residue and reject streams from RO
from such Textile units is continued to remain a problem unresolved.
At present, Textile Processing industries are predominantly in the western Tamilnadu and specifically in
the districts of Tiruppur, Coimbatore, Erode, Karur and Salem. The unresolved environmental issue
which has brought down the operational status and production is treated effluent reuse/recycle or
disposal.
Very few industries are processing Yarn or Cloth for the entire range of processing them to finished
cloths. While the dry processes like Ginning, Spinning, etc., are not water-intensive, other processes are
Wet processes and water-intensive like Bleaching, Dyeing, Mercerizing, Enzyme Washing, etc; and the
water requirement is 100-500 lit/Kg of yarn or Cloth, depending upon the quality requirements and
machineries involved. Most of the industries are medium scale which processes less than 10MT per day
and most of them are having only any one or two processing operations and they are interdependent
and complementing. Hence, significant number of industries are tiny and perhaps, unorganized and find
the effluent management as the issue unresolved.
The general textile processes are listed under;
Sizing
De-sizing
Scouring
Bleaching
Dyeing
Mercerization
Enzyme Washing

SIPCOT is committed to develop the land as Industrial plots with infrastructures for water and power
supplies.
The nature of activities planned within the park will be processing of Yarn, Woven fabric and Knitted
fabric. The industrial infrastructures will be integrated with environmental services for Water supply
with Desalination Plant (10MLD), Wastewater Treatment Plant (Recycle of
treated water supply lines to member industries) for processing 20MLD of combined effluent streams
and Marine Disposal system with Diffusers to dispose the treated effluent (20MLD) into sea.
The conceptual layout of the proposed Integrated Textile Industries Park is presented in Fig 4.
1.6.1 WATER BALANCE
The requirement quantity and also quality of water has become either unavailable are being sourced as
a costlier commodity. Hence, the quality of water at required quantity is important for quality
production of textile processing industries.
The requirement of water varies from 60 to 100 lit per Kg of Yarn/fabric to finished garments. However,
not the entire quantity of fabric or yarn will go through all the processes listed. Hence, an average of 60-
65 lit/kg is assumed for the assessment on the required water quantity. Hence, the total water
requirement for the processing is 19.5 MLD. A lump sum requirement at the rate of 10 lpcd for drinking
purposes and canteen uses was considered which amounts to the requirement of 0.5 MLD. The net
requirement is 20 MLD. This requirement will be met with 50% (10 LKD) from the proposed Desalination
Plant (10 MLD) and 50% (10 MLD) requirement from the treated effluent after processing it in RO of
CETP.
The requirement of another 0.5 MLD for conveniences and washes and 0.2 MLD for green belt will be
met by the reclaimed water through RO from the CETP.
The water balance of the proposed ITIP is presented in Fig.5.
1.6.2 WATER TREATMENT PLANT- DESALINATION PLANT
Based on the coastal studies, a sea water intake system to withdraw about 20 MLD will be installed. It is
assessed that the Intake Structure will be placed about 1 Km from the LTL of the project location.

The Desalination Plant will have Media Filtration, Micron Filtration, Ultra Filtration and Reverse Osmosis
Plant to process 20 MLD of sea water to produce around 45-50% of about 10 MLD of Permeate with
characteristics of fresh water and specifically TDS at less than 500 mg/l.
The Conceptual schematic of the Desalination Plant is presented in Fig.6.
1.6.3 EFFLUENT MANAGEMENT
Almost 90-95 % of water used in the processes will result in wastewater that requires scientific
treatment to either reuse or recycle or atleast to ensure safe disposal. The requirement of

1.10.5 Terrestrial Environment
Terrestrial Flora and fauna also were evaluated in the due diligence survey in the Impact area.
There is no endangered species of flora and fauna in the project location.
The proposed project activities in the textile processing do not have any interface or interaction with the
terrestrial environment.
1.10.6 Coastal Biology
The coastal and marine biological attributes were evaluated for flora and fauna and as well for Phyto
and Zoo-planktons. Samples were drawn using standard protocols and were analyzed for characterizing
the biota.
1.10.7 Socio- Economics
The demographic and stakeholders of the proposed IP were surveyed and studied for their response to
the proposed project.
A field survey clearly indicated that the local peoples are predominantly in favor of the project although
few are opposing to setting up an IP in this location.
1.11 IMPACT ASSESSMENT STUDIES
The proposed IP for textile processing industries will have Emission Stacks from boilers, Air Heaters, etc.,
and also withdrawal of sea water and marine disposal of RO reject in to sea. All such activities were
studied and evaluated for the environmental impacts.
The construction of buildings involves insignificant account of transfer of construction materials by
vehicles as most of them will be Pre-Engineered fabricated structures.
The movement of few vehicles and foundation works would result in fugitive dust emission which can
be kept under control through well laid roads and water spraying in the locations of dust, periodically.
The water intake structures and Marine disposal diffusers for RO rejects are the specific activities of
environmental concerns. However, the quantity of water intake, 20 MLD and Disposal of RO rejects of
INTEGRATED TEXTILE INDUSTRIAL PARK A.MANAKUDI, RAMANATHAPURAM DISTRICT

24 Centre for Environment, Health and Safety Annamalai University
20 MLD are not sufficient quantitatively which can influence any impact in the locations of sea in the
project impact area.
The RO rejects are characteristically to have only TDS of Salinity for 70,000- 90,000 ppm. There will not
be any other objectionable parameters of pollution. This was assessed to increase the Salinity of the
Disposal point only by few hundreds and it not to have any Physical, Chemical or Marine Biological
environment.
1.12 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
An exclusive Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is envisaged with a comprehensive framework of
action plan for implementing the proposed IP to ensure the operations and performance of the
proposed member industries and activities will conserve the resources and prevent pollution in the
project location.
The construction of buildings and ancillary infrastructures like Water Intake, Wastewater Marine
Disposal and Solid waste management facilities do require monitoring and maintenance for the required
Environmental Performance.
The EMP for the proposed IP will specifically address the following Monitoring systems;
Continuous Air Quality Monitoring
Water Treatment; Desalination Plant.
Textile Processes; Effluent Generation, Characteristics
Effluent Treatment & Reuse; Zero-Liquid Discharge
Marine Disposal of brine/reject of RO
Solid waste Management; Off-site
Monitoring of Marine life and biodiversity
An exclusive set up of executives and a team of skilled peoples will be formed as core active group as
Environmental Cell. The cell will evaluate the EMP on annual basis and will envisage a budgetary
allocation to implement from the SIPCOT. The Budget of the EMP is envisaged for INR 50 Crores. There
will also a recurring cost for O&M for Rs.2 Crore, annually. This may be revisited on commissioning the
IP.

1.13 SOCIAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT
The identified and proposed land mass has no human settlement or any agricultural activity. Hence,
proposed establishment of IP does not require any displacement of human settlement.
The entire implementation of IP is uninhabited and without any social or reserve forests cover. Hence,
there is no requirement for Resettlement and Rehabilitation (R&R) plans.
SIPCOT is committed to develop buffer zones all around the proposed area and on its three sides; hence
there will not be any interference with the prevailing environment all around the project location.
SIPCOT will ensure development natural species of trees in the buffer Zone.
The health of the workers will be continuously monitored by an exclusive Health Surveillance Plan (HSP),
implemented by member industries with the coordination of SIPCOT, TNPCB and State Health
Department.
The cultural and religious activities of the people around the project site will never be intervened by any
of the SIPCOT and its member industrial activities; rather they will get be supported by SIPCOT through
sponsorship, donations, etc.
1.14 RISK AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
There are no hazardous or toxic chemical storages or gas usage in the proposed IP of SIPCOT. However,
the dyes and auxiliary chemicals for different types of washings will make workers become vulnerable to
skin and respiratory diseases.
However, none of the activities have any credible probability for any release of toxic gases or
substances. The cotton/yarn/fabric processing is posing certain level health risk to workers in the
working floor. The IP and its textile processing are envisaged with state of art mechanical systems with
instruments for auto and semi-auto operations of the textile processing operations which will minimize
the human exposure and less reside disposal, either as solid or liquid.
Requisite account of Emergency Management Plans, on-site and as well for off site, will be prepared and
kept under surveillance by SIPCOT administration, to meet any situations of emergency due to fire or
any accident.

Since the project location is coastal, rise in sea level or flooding of creeks are the real concerns of coastal
and flood hazards. However, the coastal location of the proposed IP is not known for any coastal
hazards, by historic data. District level-Coastal Hazardous Management Authority headed by the District
Collector will be in coordination to manage during Cyclone and Flood periods.
The project location has been surveyed for no natural calamity. Even Tsunami-2004 has not learnt to
cause any severe physical damage in the specified project location. Storm of any devastating nature
have never been recorded in this location.
SIPCOT will maintain an exclusive wing of fire brigades and will function with specific coordination with
the state Fire Service Department and with required physical systems like equipment, chemicals,
transportation etc. to manage any likely accident or fire.
1.15 INTERNAL ROADS AND TRAFFIC
All internal roads within the SIPCOT will be laid as follows:
Main Roads : 9 m width along with 1.5 m green belt on both sides
The approach road will be improved with tar felt and the concept of Bio-Fencing will be implemented
with specified species of coastal vegetation to prevent trespassing and avoid any interference to
vehicular movements.
1.16 STORM WATER DRAINAGE
SIPCOT will ensure engineered structures viz., closed conduits for collection and transportation of storm
water to drain away the storm water from all building tops and paved roads and floors, in line to the
existing contour and topography of the project location.
The SIPCOT Administration and also all member industries will attach utmost importance for storm
water collection, without any pollution so that it can be used for ground water recharging and green belt
development.

1.17 RAIN WATER HARVESTING STRUCTURES
SIPCOT will put up Rain Water Harvesting structures (RWHS) within the boundary limits of the proposed
IP.
The RWHS be established as per the standard practices as percolation pits, as per the guidelines of
Tamilnadu Water Supply and Drainage Board (TWAD). SIPCOT will continuously monitor such RWHS for
preventing any contamination due to chemicals and effluent spillages and over flows.
1.18 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT
The proposed ITIP will have buffer zones along the Northern and partly on the Southern boundary lines,
abetting the Back water/ Estuaries and it will be protected by SIPCOT with local species of trees and
vegetation.
SIPCOT Administration along with Member Industries will commit to create and maintain a “green
corridor” in the buffer zones all around the boundary, with compatible species of trees and plantation to
suit the prevailing coastal environment. It is also committed to develop green belt all along their inner
roads and open spaces.
SIPCOT will promote green belt to cover the boundary lines of all the open spaces for raw material and
product handling and vehicle parking, strategically through a green belt with local species of vegetation.
The development of green belt will cover by more than 30% and will ensure the adherence to any
directions or consent conditions of EC and TNPCB, with respect to green belt development.
1.19 ENVIRONMENTAL CELL
An exclusive team of managers with required number of skilled and trained man power will be will be
put in place to operate and maintain the proposed IP by SIPCOT.
The Environmental Cell will have authority to ensure sustainability in the implementation of projects.
SIPCOT is committed to create the Environmental Cell under its Vice- Chairman and supported
principally by IP Manager.

The Cell has financial allocation from the regular annual budget of the SIPCOT Administration to
implement the devised EMP and also to address any specific or general conditions for project
implementation by MoEF&CC and also by TNPCB.
Executives from member industries and local NGOs will be accommodated in the Consultative
Committee of the Cell. The Cell can also be extended, if need be with laboratory and training facilities,
to enable the SIPCOT Administration for ensuring better environmental management.
The protocol of the Environmental Cell is presented in Fig.10.

1.20 CONCLUSION
The proposed Integrated Textile Industrial Park is coastal dependent for water source and ensure
scientific disposal of treated effluent (Final RO rejects) in the marine Environment. The location is
surveyed for its coastal and land resources and learnt well suited and environmentally compatible for
the proposed Textile Processing activities.
The proposed IP has become must to ensure the captive water plants and scientific disposal of residual
waste streams of effluent, as rejects. SIPCOT intended to optimally use the coastal resources and the
proposed IP has become feasible as there is a raising demand for marine disposal for Effluent
Management with water reclamation strategy from the treated effluent as RO reject streams.
SIPCOT is committed with well devised plans and programs, supported by Member Industries through
required budgetary allocation, to promote, develop and maintain the proposed IP to ensure coastal and
environment environments clean.
The proposed IP will eventually result in significant overall development of the socio-economic status of
the state, precisely the district of Ramanathapuram.
