The duration of sampling of PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NOx was 24 hourly continuous sampling per day

and CO was sampled for 8 hours continuous, thrice in 24 hour duration monitoring. The

monitoring was conducted for one day at each location. This is to allow a comparison with the

National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified by Central Pollution Control

Board (CPCB) and IS: 5182. The techniques used for ambient air quality monitoring and minimum

detectable levels are given in Table 3.2.

Fine Particulate Sampler instruments have been used for monitoring Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM

2.5 i.e. <2.5 microns), and Respirable Dust Sampler was used for sampling Respirable fraction

(<10 microns), gaseous pollutants like SO2, and NOx. Bladder and Aspirator bags were used for

collection Carbon monoxide samples. Gas Chromatography techniques have been used for the

estimation of CO.

Noise levels were measured using sound level meter. Noise level monitoring was carried out

continuously for 24-hours with one hour interval starting at 0030 hrs to 0030 hrs next day. The

noise levels were monitored on working days only. During each hour Leq were directly computed

by the instrument based on the sound pressure levels.

Lday (Ld), Lnight (Ln) and Ldn values were computed using corresponding hourly Leq.

Keeping in view the importance of drinkingwater as an important source to the local population, sample of drinking water was collected from the project site for the assessment of impacts of the project on the drinking water quality. Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various parameters to

compare with the standards for drinking water as per IS: 10500 for ground water sources. The details of

water sampling locations are given in Table 3.10.

3.4.2 Methodology of Drinkingwater Quality Monitoring

Sampling of ground water was carried out on September 2015. Samples were collected as grab sample and

sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative sample were properly added to

preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and stored immediately in ice boxes, which were

ensured for appropriate temperatures. Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys.

Sample collected for metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological

analysis was collected in sterilized glass bottles.

Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they

were transported by road to Vardan Envirolab, Gurgaon for further analysis. Proper care was taken during

packing and transportation of samples. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately

for analysis.

The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the

Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB.

The analytical techniques and the test methods adopted for testing of Drinking water are given in Table

3.6 SOIL MONITORING 3.6.1 Soil Monitoring Locations The objective of the soil monitoring is to identify the impacts of ongoing project activities on soil quality and also predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of various constructions allied activities. Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil quality has been carried out. To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the physico-chemical

characteristics of soils were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected points and analysis of the

same. Single sample of soil was collected from the project site for studying soil characteristics, the

location of which is listed in Table 3.15

1. S1 Project Site

3.6.2 Methodology of Soil Monitoring

The sampling has been done in line with IS: 2720 & Methods of Soil Analysis, Part-1, 2nd edition, 1986 of

American Society for Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America. The homogenized samples were

analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics (physical, chemical and heavy metal concentrations).

The soil samples were collected in the month of September 2015.

The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for physico-chemical

parameters. The heavy metals have been analyzed by using Atomic Absorption Spectro-photometer.

3.6.3 Soil Monitoring Results

Single sample of soil is collected from the site to check the quality of soil of the study area .The

physico-chemical characteristics of the soil, as obtained from the analysis of the soil sample, are

presented in Table 3.16.

Table 3.16 Physico-Chemical Characteristics of Soil in the Study Area

3.6.4 Discussion on Soil Characteristics in the Study Area

The soil in study area is characterized by moderate organic content. The soil quality in the project area

has not been affected by the project activities.
