Introduction

1.1 PREFACE

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

possible impacts that a proposed project may have on the environment -

consisting of the environmental, social and economic aspects. It is an

assessment and management tool that evaluates the possible impacts,

positive or negative, that a proposed project may have on the

environment. EIA systematically examines both beneficial and adverse

consequences of the project and ensures that these effects are taken into

account during project design. The purpose of the assessment is to

ensure that decision makers consider the ensuing environmental impacts

when deciding to proceed with a project. In India, Ministry of

Environment and Forests has defined elaborated “Environmental

Clearance (EC)” framework along with requirements for preparing

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) under the Environmental

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

2006) for establishing/expanding and industry/development projects.

1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Industrialization and infrastructure development have increased economic

growth and improved living standards of people in India. However,

development has led to rapid consumption of natural resources and

increased emissions of waste. To control the pollutions from industrial

activity, Government of India has framed regulations which are governed

by MoEF&CC. EC is mandatory to obtain as per the EIA Notification issued

by MoEF&CC, New Delhi dated 14th September, 2006 and its subsequent

amendment; for setting up a new projects or activities, or expansion or

modernization of existing projects or activities based on their potential

environmental impacts.

The purpose of the EIA study is to identify existing environmental

conditions, to predict environmental impacts associated with the

proposed project and to suggest measures to mitigate the adverse



impacts and to delineate a comprehensive environment management

plan along with recommendations and suggestions.

In this regards, EIA and Environmental Management Plan (EMP) have

been considered as the most important documentation in understanding

the environmental implications and safeguarding the environment.

Project Description

2.1 INTRODUCTION

M/s. Coastech Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. is a Greenfield project, proposes to

setup Pigments, Solvent Dyes, Disperse Dyes and Various Dye

Intermediates manufacturing unit at Survey No. 410, Village: Neja, Tal:

Khambhat, Dist: Anand, Gujarat. Total production capacity of the plant

will be 400 MT/month. Detailed product list is given in Table 2.2.

As per the EIA Notification, 2006, proposed activity is listed at S. No.

5(f) - Synthetic Organic Chemicals industry under Category “A”.

The estimated cost of the proposed project will be around Rs. 12.0

Crores. Out of this, around Rs. 1.6 Crores will be capital cost for EMS

and Rs. 1.85 Crores will be recurring cost per annum. Time of project

completion will be about 1.0 – 1.5 years after accordance of the EC.

Based on the type of project, following are the expected aspects:

Air Emissions,

Waste water generation,

Noise generation,

Hazardous waste generation, and

Occupational Health, Hazards & Safety Risk

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT

The dyestuff sector is one of the important segments of the chemicals

industry in India, having forward and backward linkages with a variety of

sectors like textiles, leather, paper, plastics, printing inks and foodstuffs.

The textile industry accounts for the largest consumption of dyestuffs

(about 80% of the total dye production). In contrast, 40-50% of dyes

produced in the developed countries find application in paint industry,

30%-40% in other industries and less than 10% of the aggregate is used

in textile sector. From being importers and distributors in the 1950s, the

dyestuff sector has now emerged as a very strong industry and a major

foreign exchange earner. India has emerged as a global supplier of

dyestuffs and dye intermediates, particularly for Reactive, Acid, Vat and



Direct Dyes. Dyestuff production is meeting more than 95% of the

domestic requirement.

The demand for dyes & dye intermediates intended to be manufactured is

increasing in the country. Setting up this unit, PP will be able to meet the

demand of various products locally. The unit will use good faith efforts to

employ local people from the nearby villages depending upon the local

availability of skilled & un-skilled human resource. Product innovations for

meeting local needs rely heavily on the chemical industry for inputs and

support. The areas for strengthening are R&D activities in dyes & dye

intermediates industry for the improvements in manufacturing process,

reduction in cost of production, development and design of new products

relevant to the Indian market needs. The proposed project will give direct

employment to local people based on qualification and requirement. In

addition to direct employment, indirect employment shall generate

ancillary business to some extent for the local population. In operation

phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce of non-

technical and technical grade. Migration of highly educated and skilled

experience persons will result in increase of literacy in the surrounding

villages.

In view of the availability of scientific staff that able to develop

sustainable process at relatively low cost, and high demand of product in

market company has decided to produce above products.
