CHAPTER-1
Introduction
1.1 PREFACE
An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is an assessment of the
possible positive or negative impact that a proposed project may have
on the environment, together consisting of the environmental, social
and economic aspects. It is an assessment and management tool that
evaluates the possible positive or negative impact 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.
As India is a developing country, lots of industrialization has been came

in focus since last few decades that ultimately leads the bigger issues
related to the environmental quality of the country. Hence, it is needful
for government of India to control the haphazard industrial development
by providing sustainable development under the legislation.
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 although it supports development but
only if the development does not hamper the environment over a
defined threshold limit.
1.2 PURPOSE OF THE REPORT

Industrial development in India has increased economic growth and
improved living standards of people. The purpose of EIA is to ensure the
EIA study for M/s. Agrow Allied Venture Pvt. Ltd. 1-1
protection, conservation and management of the environment and

natural resources including human health aspects against uncontrolled
development. EIA is an important tool in the integrated environmental
management approach. To control the pollutions from industrial activity,
government has framed regulations which are governed by Ministry of
Environment and Forest in India.
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is requisite to be carried out

only for those categories of projects that are covered under EIA
Notification, 2006 (amended time to time) and the criteria for screening
has been provided in the Act. Thus, EIA is fundamentally made
applicable to industrial and developmental projects, which are more
likely to have significant environmental impacts.
Proposed project of Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd., falls under
Category 5(b) - Pesticides industry and pesticide specific intermediates
(excluding formulations) and categorized as 'A'. Therefore, unit requires
Environmental Clearance of the proposed project.
EIA Consultant
In view of the above, legal aspect and monitoring work has been carried
out for all the environmental attributes by M/s. San Envirotech Pvt.
Ltd., Ahmedabad. Draft Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) and
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) prepared after obtained the
Terms of References (TORs) from the MoEF, New Delhi. The final
EIA/EMP will be submitted to the MoEF for Environment Clearance.

1.4 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE PROJECT

Agrow allied proposed to install Agro technical products manufacturing
plant at S.P. 3-7/B, Keshvana Industrial Estate, Tal: Kothputli, Dist.
Jaipur, Rajasthan. This new unit will require installation of machineries
and related civil structures.
1.5 THE STUDY AREA

1.5.1 Justification of the project site with its importance and site
specific criteria
India's agro-industry has miles to go before it catches up with the rest

of the world. Its share in the agro-products of developing countries has
gone up only marginally from 3.1 percent in 1995 to 3.8 percent in
2005, despite growing at 6.2 percent in the 10-year period. China tops
the list by accounting for 26.5 percent of the total agro-products in
developing countries.
The land in and around the plant site is plain. The proposed unit, apart
from generating direct and indirect employment and various business
opportunities will bring an overall up-liftment of the area and will
ultimately result in its complete socio-economic and infrastructure
development.
The other supporting site specific criteria are briefly summarized here
under,
• Availability of raw materials of proper quality and in adequate
quantity;
• Availability of suitable and adequate land;
• Availability of infrastructure facilities such as water supply, power,
roads, social infrastructure and man power;
• Good communication and transportation facilities;
• Proximity of market;
• No R & R will be required;
• The nearest town Kothputli and city Jaipur are 10 km and 120 km
away from the project site, which is very well connected with
other parts of the country by road & rail;
• No national park or wildlife habitat falls within 10 km radial

distance from proposed project site.
In view of the availability of high quality scientific talents at relatively
low cost, company has decided to produce pesticide Intermediate at
above said location. So no alternative for site is analyzed.
1.5.2 Location (Latitude and Longitude) and accessibility:
Latitude: 27042’53.64” N
Longitude: 72026’43.08” E
The proposed project site is in proximity of Jaipur district of Rajasthan

state. The site is suitably located with respect to availability of raw
material, water availability, road network, unskilled, skilled and
professional manpower etc.
Various infrastructure facilities like transportation & communication are
easily available.
1.5.3 Nature and size of the project:
Nature of the project:
It will be a medium scale project. List of raw materials is given in
Table: 2.3 of Chapter-2. However, there will not be any wastewater
generation from the process route. The details of hazardous waste
generation are given in Table: 2.8.
Size of the project:
Agrow allied proposed to set up agro technical unit at above said site.

2.6 MANUFACTURING PROCESS

2.6.1 2,4-D Sodium Salt Technical:
2,4-D Sodium Salt technical is generally manufactured to contain 80%

of 2,4-Dichlorophenoxy acetic acid (2,4-D).
2,4-D Sodium Salt technical is manufactures in two stages. In the first
stage, 2-4-dichloro phenol is produced by reaction between phenol and
chlorine. In the second stage, 2,4-D sodium is produced by reaction
between Dichloro phenol, monochloro acetic acid and sodium hydroxide.
(I) In the first phase reaction, phenol is charged in a lead lined reactor
and chlorine is passed through it. Chlorine reacts chemically with phenol
and forms dichloro phenol.
The gas stream coming out from the reactor, containing hydrochloric
acid fumes and excess chlorine, is scrubbed with counter-current flow of
water/dil. acid in a glass scrubber, to form bi-product hydrochloric acid
(HCl).
(II) In second phase reaction, 2, 4-dichloro phenol is charged in an SS
reactor. Now, MCA (Monochloro Acidic Acid) and NaOH (Caustic) are
added slowly (6 hrs.) to the reactor with consist stirring. MCA and
caustic react with Dichloro phenol and forms light pink coloured 2, 4-D
sodium salt.
The reaction temperature is around 1000C and pH 10 to 10.5. The
product is allowed to cool down to about 650C, with the help of
circulating cooling water, followed by transfer to cemented pits. After
allowing 40 to 48 hours of stabilizing and setting, the product is
separated from the mother liquor in a centrifuge and dried in a dryer.
The dry product is ground in a pulverizer and packed in HDPE bags.
The mother liquor obtained from settling and centrifuge contains
wastewater and different derivatives of phenol and raw materials. It is
neutralized with HCl to separate the organic components, which settle
down. The aqueous liquor is separated from the organic layer and sent
to the ETP for treatment. The organic fraction is packed quantitatively in
drums and disposed through sale to sister concern.

2.6.2 2, 4-D Acid (Technical):
Manufacturing Process:
In the manufacturing process, 2,4-D Sodium Salt and water are charged
in a rubber lined reactor. Now Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is added slowly
with constant stirring for proper reaction. The addition of HCl is
continued till the pH of the materials reaches to 2. In the reactor, HCl
reacts with 2,4-D Sodium salt to form 2,4-D Acid (Tech.). Neither
excess temperature nor catalyst is necessary in this reaction. The
product is separated from the mother liquor in a rubber lined centrifuge
and subsequently dried in a dryer. The dried product is ground with a
pulverizer and packed in HDPE bags.
Although the mother liquor (wastewater) is rich in HCl, its recycle to the
reactor is prohibited by high concentration of NaCl. The mother liquor is,
therefore, sent to the ETP for treatment and disposal.

2.6.3 2,4-D Ethyl Ester (Technical):
In the manufacturing process, ethyl alcohol is charged in a glass-lined
reactor. Powdered 2,4-D acid and Sulphuric acid are added to the
reactor with constant stirring, so as to dissolve the powder in the
mixture. When all the materials have been added and thoroughly mixed,
the manhole of the reactor is closed and so as to render air tight. After
this, the reactor is heated by passing steam. The heating is continued
till the temperature raises up to 900C. Under the reactor conditions,
ethyl alcohol reacts with 2,4-D acid to form 2,4-D ethyl ester. The
product is heated vigorously under reflux for 4 hrs. for completion of the
reaction. After this, the material in the reactor is allowed to cool down
to 300C. One or two water washings and TEA washing are employed to
reduce the pH of the materials 2 to 5. After 2-3 hrs. of settling, the
material is transferred to SS of HDPE storage tank. After further settling
for 40-45 hrs., the material is filtered and stored in dry HDPE drums.

2.6.4 2,4-D Amine:
In the manufacturing process, dimethyl amine (40%) is charged in a SS
Reactor. 2,4-D acid is added slowly to the reactor, with constant
stirring, so as to dissolve it in the mixture. The stirring is continued for
half an hour for proper reactions. In the reactor, dilute amine react with
2,4-D acid to form the amber coloured 2,4-D Dimethyl Amine.
The reaction is exothermic and raises the temperature. The temperature
comes down after completion of reaction, i.e. within 2 hours. When
temperature begins to fall, oxalic acid is added to minimize the excess
amine and maintain the pH between 7-9.
The material in the reactor is allowed to cool down to room temperature
with constant stirring. After two hours of settling, the material is
transferred to SS or HDPE storage tanks and allowed to settle for 35 to
40 hours. After settling the material, the product is filtered through
vacuums filter and stored in HDPE drums. No waste material is
produced in this process.

2.6.6 Lambda Cyhalothrin Technical:
Meta Phenoxy Benzaldehyde is reacted with Sodium Cyanide to form
Meta Phenoxy Benzaldehyde Cyanhydrin as an intermediate. This on
reaction with Fluoro Propenyl Acid Chloride (TFP Acid Chloride) forms
the Product Cyhalothrin. In this process n - Hexane is used as solvent
along with phase transfer catalyst. The reaction mass of Cyhalothrin is
washed by Soda Ash solution as well as water.
Solvent n-Hexane is stripped off to get pure Cyhalothrin oil. Finally
Cyhalothrin oil is epimerised to give Lambda Cyhalothrin of 85%.
An aqueous layer which contains traces of Sodium Cyanide is detoxified
by the treatment of Sodium Hypochlorite Solution (8-10%) up to < 0.2
ppm level. Then it is mixed up with main ETP stream for further
treatment & finally drained to gutter.

The unit will do extensive plantation in 13332 sqm areas out of total
40400 sqm. So greenbelt will be in 33% of total area.
2.10.2 RAIN WATER HARVESTING

Rain Water Harvesting is a method of utilizing rain water for domestic
and agricultural use is already widely used throughout the world. It is a
method which has been used since ancient times and is increasingly
being accepted as a practical method of providing potable water in
development projects throughout the world.
Improve the ground water in Industrial area is one of the main problems
which is being faced by developed countries of the world.
In Industrial area, charging of underground water in natural way like

rural areas is not taking place due to large sprawl of Industrial activities.
But it is feasible by injecting the water by percolating wells. To
considering the Industrial area and various types of activities may
contaminate the rain water, recharging the rain water by injecting the
rain water to underground aquifers is not advisable. Agrow allied will
partial reuse the rain water collect from rooftop during the rainy season.

Baseline Environmental Status
3.1 Prelude
To assess environmental impacts from proposed project at a specific
location, it is essential to monitor the environmental quality prevailing in
the surrounding area prior to implementation of the proposed project.
The environmental status within the impact zone could be used for
identification of significant environmental issues to be addressed in the
impact assessment study.
In order to identify and establish the extent of likely impacts, it is

essential to gather information on existing environmental quality with
regard to various components of the environment.
3.1.1 Study area
M/s. Agrow Allied Venture Pvt. Ltd. unit is proposed to be located at

SP 3-7/B, Keshvana Industrial Estate, Tehsil: Kothputli, District: Jaipur,
Rajasthan. The baseline study was carried out within 05 km radius (as
per TOR) from the center of the proposed project.
3.1.2 Period of the study area
The baseline study of the proposed project was done during January-
2013 to March-2013 within 05 km radius from the center of the
proposed project site.
3.1.3 Basic components of the Environment
The component study of the present environment is necessary to predict

the environmental impact on the study area; therefore it is necessary to
classify the various components of Environment from which it is made.
Environment consists of Atmosphere, Hydrosphere, Lithosphere and

Biosphere. These Environment components have been considered for
the study of the existing environment, which is summarized below:
(I) Lithosphere: It includes the terrain and landscape study. Such as

topography and Geology of the study area.
(II) Hydrosphere or Water Environment: It includes water quality of the

study area by means of
a) Surface water quality
b) Ground water quality
(III) Atmosphere or Air Environment: Atmospheric condition mainly

depend upon the
a) Climatic condition, and
b) Micrometeorological data such as wind, temperature, humidity,

Rainfall etc. of the project area.
(IV) Biosphere: Ecological systems consist of varieties of interrelationship

between both abiotic and biotic components including dependence,
competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprises of both plant
and animal communities, which interact not only within and between
themselves but also with the abiotic physical and chemical components
of the environment. Whereas biotic component includes study of,
a) Fauna: Study of the animal
b) Flora: Study of the plant
(V) Other Component: Other component of the surrounding area includes

Socio- Economic data and noise level data of the surrounding area.
The survey for above all components of the study area and data
collected by means of primary and secondary data are described from
Sec: 3.3 to 3.8.
3.1.4 Methodology
(a) AIR ENVIRONMENT MONITORING:

Process:
 Design of Network for AAQM Stations (Fig: 3.5 shown all six Air
monitoring station counting Project site)
 Reconnaissance
 Air quality monitoring or data collection
 Air analysis
Methodology:
To understand the Air environment in the study area, Monitoring of the Air
quality was done by setting up reconnaissance and using Respirable Dust
Sampler (RDS) for monitoring of PM10, SO2, NOX.
Analysis Methodology:
Analysis was carried out by using IS methods hereunder:

PM10 : IS 5182, part-23:2006
SO2 : IS 5182, part-2:2001
NOx : IS 5182, part-6:2006
(b) WATER ENVIRONMENT MONITORING:
Process:
 Reconnaissance
 Design of network stations for collection of water sample (Fig: 3.7
shown all six water sample station counting Project site)
 Sample collection & preservation
 Analysis of water quality by using following methodology
Methodology for water sample Analysis:
To understand the water quality of the study area, analysis of all six
locations including the plant site was conducted as per IS: 10500:2004 of
drinking water or APHA (American Public Health Association).
LAND ENVIRONMENT MONITORING:

 Reconnaissance
 Design of network stations for collection of Soil sample (Fig: 3.9 shown
all six soil sample collection station counting Project site)
 Sample Colllection
 Physio-Chemical analysis of soil based on following methodology
Methodology for analysis:

To understand the soil quality of the study area, analysis of all six locations
including the plant site was conducted by making suspension of soil sample
and analysis were done by using Standard method of water analysis
(APHA).
NOISE ENVIRONMENT MONITORING:

 Reconnaissance
 Design of Network Stations for Noise Monitoring (Fig: 3.8 shown all
seven Noise Monitoring station counting Project site)
Methodology:
To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was

conducted using Sound Level Meter at each of the seven locations
including the plant site.
3.2 Establishment of baseline for Environmental Components
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies need a significant

amount of primary and secondary baseline environmental data.
The primary baseline environmental data are those which need to

be collected in the field to define the status of environment (like air
quality data, water quality data, noise quality etc.).
The secondary baseline environmental data are those data which

have been collected over the years and can be used to understand the
existing environmental scenario of the study area by any recognized
agencies. (Such as used IMD data for micrometeorological data- rainfall,
humidity and census data for Socio Economic etc.).
The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies are conducted over

a short period of time and therefore for understanding the
environmental trend based on few months of primary data has its own
limitations. Ideally, the primary data has to be considered along with
the secondary data for complete understanding of the existing
environmental status of the area.
3.3 Air Environment

The impact on air environment would depend and has been identified on
the basis of identification of sources of air pollution from various process
operations; the nature of pollutants and their quantities likely to be
discharged to the atmosphere; and the baseline data on air quality.
The baseline data on air quality and micrometeorological conditions of
the area surrounding the project site have been generated through an
appropriately designed network for monitoring of Ambient Air Quality

(AAQ) within the zone of likely impacts.
3.3.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations
The following criteria were taken into account while designing the
ambient air quality-monitoring network:
 Topography/Terrain of the study area
 Populated areas within the region
 Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their likely
occurrence under prevailing meteorological conditions
 Representation of regional background
 Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in downwind
direction
3.3.2 Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air
environment in the study region. The prime objective of the NAAQ
survey, within 5 km radial study area around the plant site was to
establish the existing ambient air quality levels. Six Ambient Air Quality
Monitoring (AAQM) stations including project site were selected based
on the criteria used for designing the network. The locations (relative
directions and distances) of these stations with respect to project site
are given in Figure 3.5 and details of these stations are described in
Table 3.1.
The Particulate Matter (PM10), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx), HCl, Cl2 including HC and VOCs were identified as
significant parameters for ambient air quality monitoring, particularly
because these are likely to be emitted from the industries and for which
ambient air quality standards are prescribed.
The micrometeorological data on wind speed, wind direction,
temperature and relative humidity were collected through a weather
monitoring station for the study period. The baseline status of air quality
was monitored within the study area i.e. 5 km radial distance from
project site as per the latest regulatory guidelines.
3.3.3 Micrometeorology of the area

The micrometeorological conditions at the project site will regulate the
transportation and diffusion of air pollutants released into the
atmosphere. The principle meteorological variables are horizontal
convective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical
convective transport (atmospheric stability, mixing height) and
topography of the area.
The data on surface meteorological parameters (hourly average wind
speed and direction) in the study area were collected during the
January-2013 to March-2013 using portable weather monitoring
station placed at industry site. The sensors of this equipment were kept
at about 10 m above ground level with free exposure to the atmosphere
all through the study period in winter season. In addition, data on
temperature as well relative humidity were also recorded simultaneously
using a data logger.
Wind Rose (Secondary data)
The 24 hourly wind rose was prepared using the data on wind direction
and speed collected for winter season in the study area. The same, as
depicted in Figure 3.6, shows the predominant wind directions are NW,
WNW, W and WSW implying that wind comes from these directions for
most of the time during the period. The wind speed class 1-5 kmph
occurred for 32.25%, 6-10 kmph about 20.22%, 11-15 kmph 19.39%
and above 15 kmph and below 30 kmph occurred for 26.04% of the
study duration and of the time. The calm condition (below 1 kmph)
prevails 2.11% of time. The wind data generated at site were also
compared with the climatologically data obtained from the nearest
Indian Meteorological Department station.
Temperature (Primary data)
During the study period, maximum and minimum temperatures were
recorded as 24.3°C and 9.1°C respectively.
Relative Humidity (Primary data)
During study period at project site, maximum relative humidity was
recorded as 73.1% and minimum as 15.3%.
Rainfall (Primary data)

No rainfall during the study period.
3.3.4 Ambient Air Quality Survey
The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at six locations, to
assess the existing sub-regional air quality status in winter season. The
Respirable Dust Sampler along with the analytical methods prescribed
by CPCB was used for carrying out air quality monitoring. At all these
sampling locations; PM10, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2 including HC and VOCs
were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison with
ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control
Board.
The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for
different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation,
minimum and maximum concentration and various percentile values.
3.3.5 Baseline Status
The existing baseline levels with respect to PM10, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2
including HC and VOCs are presented in Tables 3.3 to 3.6 with
interpretation of statistical analysis of observed ambient air quality data
for six locations. Presented results, represent the cross sectional
distribution of baseline air quality status of the study region.
Particulate Matter (PM10)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all -the
locations ranged between 58.0-73.0 g/m3 and 62.0-82.0 g/m3, which
are well within the stipulated standard of CPCB i.e. 100 g/m3.
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of
arithmetic mean at all the locations ranged between 14.3-17.1 g/m3
and 16.4-20.0 g/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated
standards of 80 g/m3.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of

arithmetic mean at all the locations ranged between 16.3-20.5 g/m3
and 18.6-24.3 g/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the
standards i.e. 80 g/m3, stipulated by CPCB.
3.4 Water Environment

3.4.1 Hydro-geological status of the study area
Hydrogeology & ground water scenario based on the scientific
information with special reference to recharge activity around proposed
project to envisage appropriate remedial measures keeping
environmental impact of proposed plant of Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt.
Ltd.
Soil
The soils are generally developed from Basaltic formation and are
coarse in texture with satisfactory internal drainage. The sub soil
condition below the existing ground level is almost uniform in nature.
Sub soil is composed of Clay mixed with little fine grained silty sand and
goradu with low resistivity due to clay and soil moisture. The area is
covered with recent to sub recent alluvial deposits comprising of
brownish clay mixed with little fine grained sand, silty sand. The Soil
below ground level consists of top silty soil layer having no swelling
nature. Blackish brown to yellowish brown clayey up to depth of 1 to 2
mts. General type of soil in study area are found Loamy sand to sandy
loam, Sandy clay loam, Sandy clay, Windblown sand, River sand.
Geology:
Geologically the area is occupied by thin alluvium formation and Basalt

rock formation. The thickness of alluvium in the area is about 1 to 2
mts. Many varieties of basaltic rocks are known to occur and apart from
typical dark grey fine grained variety, layer of amygdaloidal and
porphysitic basalts are also common. It has no primary porosity &
permeability but the fractures, weathered zones, fissures, dyke &
lineament present in it, to provide secondary porosity.
Geo-hydrology:
Hard rocks in major parts of the district are covered by Quaternary

fluvial & aeolian deposits mainly composed of sand, silt, clay, gravel &
kankar and sloping bed rock.
Groundwater in the area occurs both in unconsolidated Quaternary

formations and consolidated formations. In greater part of the area,
alluvial deposits mainly fine sand & silt serve as potential aquifers in
addition to gravel zones as encountered Shallow depth to groundwater
occurs under water table condition and under semi-confined conditions
at depth. Depth of wells in the area generally varies from 50 m to 70 m
in alluvium and 50 to 150 m in combination/consolidated formation
areas.
Groundwater resources being dynamic in nature, the depth to water

level keep on changing seasonally, annually and on long term basis
depending on recharge –discharge balance. Depth of water level in the
area during pre-monsoon ranges from minimum 17 m to Maximum 27
m. Depth of water level in the area during post-monsoon ranges from
minimum 19 m to Maximum 29 m. Over-exploitation of groundwater
resources have set declining trend in water levels. Even average Pre
monsoon-Post monsoon water levels show decline in most of the area
indicating significant withdrawal as compared to natural recharge to
groundwater. Average Water level decline in time and with time are
10.00 m (1994) to 22 m (2012).
(a) Rainfall in the study area (Secondary data):

The study area receives maximum rainfall from mid June to September
from southwest monsoon. Average rainfall in the study area is 600-650
mm. Rainfall in the study area can therefore be termed as moderate.

3.5 Noise Environment (Primary data)

3.5.1 Introduction
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech &
hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise
annoying. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has
an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can
also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.
Sound is mechanical energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by

cyclic series of compression and rarefaction of molecules of the
materials through which it passes. Sound can be transmitted through
gases, liquids and solids. The number of compressions and refractions of
the air molecules in the unit of time is described as its frequency.
Frequency is expressed in Hertz (Hz), which is the same as the number
of cycles per second.
3.5.2 Methodology
To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was
conducted using Sound Level Meter at seven locations including the
plant site as shown in Figure 3.8.
3.5.3 Day-Time and Night-Time Noise Levels
Noise survey was carried out once at each of the seven locations in the
day-and nighttime during the study period. Table 3.10 depicts Lday,
Lnight, Lday-night noise levels for all locations.
3.5.4 Ambient Air Quality Standards in Respect of Noise
Ministry of Environment and Forest has notified the ambient standards
in respect of noise in Gazette of India dated 14th February, 2000. Table
3.11 depicts these standards in respect of noise.
3.5.5 Ambient Noise Levels in the Study Area
The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 49.4
to 60.0 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded near project site (60.0 dB
(A)), while the Leq values of noise levels during night time (Ln) varied
between 39.8 to 52.3 dB (A). Highest Ln value was recorded near
project site (52.3 dB (A)).
3.5.6 Conclusions
The hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study
area show considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic
movement, commercial and domestic activities in the study area. In the
study area, higher noise value during day time was noted near project
site but it is within the Ambient standards of Industrial area for day time
{75 dB(A)} and highest results in night time was also recorded near
project site, which is within prescribed limit of commercial area for night
time {55 dB(A)}.
3.6 Soil Environment (Primary data)
3.6.1 Introduction
Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust that serves as a
natural medium for the growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated
mineral matter that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic
and environmental factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients for
plants and crops and provide mechanical anchorage and favorable tilth.
The study area has alluvial sandy loam soil locally known as Goradu (or
Gorat) or Bhatta. Goradu are nothing but alluvial soils of older origin
while Bhatta soils are of recent origin deposited chiefly along the banks
of river. The soils of this group are moderately deep, well drained,
calcareous fine soils on very gently sloping alluvial plain with slight
erosion and moderate salinity; associated with deep, moderate well
drained, calcareous, fine soils with moderate erosion. Taxonomy of soils
as per USDA system of classification: “Fine, montmorillonitic
(calcareous), hyperthermic vertic Ustochrepts”.
The study area has alluvial sandy loam soil with the following physical
and chemical characteristics.
3.6.2 Soil Characteristics

Samples of soils were collected from 6 locations (Project site,
Keshwanagujar, Puniyala, Malpura, Mordha, Gonera) during the study
period and these locations are shown in Figure 3.9.
The values of important physical and chemical parameters of these soil
samples are depicted in Table 3.12. From the tabulated values, the
following conclusions can be made about the physical and chemical
characteristics of these soil samples.
3.6.3 Corollaries
Physical Parameters
 Particle Size: A Particle size of the different constituents (clay, silt,
sand and gravel) controls the porosity and water holding characteristic
of the soil. Clay (size < 0.002 mm) amount in the soil samples ranges
from 18% to 22%; Silt (size 0.002 to 0.075 mm) in the soil samples is
32% to 39%; Sand (size 0.075 to 0.475 mm) in the soil samples is 16%
to 24% and Gravel (size > 0.475 mm) in the soil samples is 24% to
29%.
 Porosity: Porosity is a measure of space in between soil particles
caused by structural conditions and determined under identical
conditions. Porosity of soil samples of the study area ranges from
43.1% to 46.4%.
 Water Holding Capacity (WHC): Water holding capacity (WHC) of soil
samples of the study area ranges between 34% to 40% and these being
sandy soils are not capable of retaining sufficient water during irrigation
for facilitating the plant growth.
 Bulk Density: Bulk Density of soils in the study area is found to be in
the range from 1.29 to 1.37 g/cm3. Bulk density is of greater
importance for characterizing the physical behavior of soils. Generally,
soils with low bulk density have favorable physical conditions (porosity
and permeability) whereas those with high bulk density exhibit poor
physical conditions.
Chemical Parameters
 pH: pH was determined by taking 1:5 ratio of soil and distilled water.
pH of soils in the study area is found to be in the range of 7.7 to 8.1.
 Chloride: Chloride content in soils of the study area is found to be in
the range of 114 to 147 mg/kg.
 Soluble Calcium: The soluble calcium as CaCO3 in soil samples is found
to be in the range of 71 to 106 mg/kg.
 Magnesium: Magnesium content in soil samples of the study area
ranges from 33 to 50 mg/kg.
 Available Phosphorus: Available Phosphorus content in soil samples of
the study area ranges from 53 to 92 mg/kg.
 Available Nitrogen: Available nitrogen content in soil samples of the
study area is found to be in the range from 145 to 158 mg/kg.
 Potassium: Potassium content in soil samples of the study area is
found to be in the range from 29 to 48 mg/kg.
 Sodium: Sodium content in soil samples of the study area is found to
be in the range from 82 to 105 mg/kg.
 Total Organic Matter (TOM): Total organic matter content in soil
samples of the study area is found to be in the range of 1.36 mg/kg to
1.43 mg/kg.
3.7 Ecology (Primary data)
3.7.1 Terrestrial Ecology (Flora)
The floral description is based on literature review and field
observations. The study area is almost plain topography. The area is
poor in forest resources. The physical, meteorological and hydro
geological conditions are such that any form of life, plant or animal has
tended to make the area almost barren and desolate. The general
feature of the study area shows a sparse vegetation cover and is largely
dominated by Cutch Tree (Acacia catechu), bushes of Calotropis
gigantea, Khejri (Prosopis spicigera linn.), Tropaeolum majus and
Chhota pilu Salvadora persica). Occasionally a fine carpet of grasses,
Bhrut (Cenchrus setigerus) and Sewan (Elanorus hirsutus) comes up
with first shower of rains and vanishes after three months of short cycle.
However, this vegetation is utilized both by cattle and men; cattle for
their fodder and men for their fuel wood, thatching material, vegetable,
medicines and food. Floral diversity is listed in Table 3.14.
3.7.2 Common Crop Plants
Common cultivated crop plants in the study area include Bajra, Wheat,
Musturd, Barley, Groundnut, Gram, Pulses and Juvar.
3.7.3 Ecological Stresses
Human needs for settlement and commercial activities like farming,
industries, infrastructure (roads, canals, power lines, railways etc.) have
forced him to encroach on natural vegetation i.e. forests. Even the open
areas left for plantation/green cover at times have been occupied by
encroachers/slums resulting in stress on environment.
3.7.4 Fauna
The study on terrestrial fauna in the study area is based on the field
investigation, information from Forest Department, Documents of
University and Zoological Survey of India.
Due to very less vegetation and poor water resource make this region
less suitable for animal life. Despite this, still varieties of animals are
found in this area. Corresponding to its variegated topography and
climate, the state has a wealth of animal life. Mostly domestic animal
like cow, sheep, buffalo and goat are reported in the study area.
Table 3.15 depicts the zoological name of animals found in the study
area.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts &
Mitigation Measures
4.1 GENERAL
Prediction of impacts is an important component in Environmental
Impact Assessment process. Various techniques and methodology
involve for predicting the impact due to proposed development of the
project. Mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively
describe the cause effect relationship between source of pollution and
different component of the Environment. The predicted impact will be
super imposed on the data of present environmental scenario of
environmental quality, to derive the ultimate scenario of environmental
conditions after the establishment of the proposed project. The
quantitative prediction of impacts led to delineation of suitable
environmental management plan needed for implementation during the
commissioning of proposed activities. Depending on the nature of the
impact, suitable management plans are develop.
With the implementation and commissioning of the proposed project,

different types of impacts of different magnitude will be cause to the
environment in around the project area. The environmental and
ecological aspects are likely to disturb because of change due to the
proposed project operation.
As such it becomes important to estimate the peak incremental

concentrations of gaseous pollutants caused due to the emissions from
the proposed plant. Chapter 2 of this report discusses the pollution
sources from the proposed plant.
There are various types of impacts arise arising due to the proposed
activities. The impact assessment has been addressed for the following
attributes, which may get affected due to the proposed activities of the
project.
 Impact on Topography
 Impact on Air Environment
 Impact on Water Environment
 Impact on Noise
 Impact due to solid waste generation
 Impact on ecology
 Socio economic aspects
4.2 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY
The project activities include excavation of soil in the plant area and
construction of shed and storage facilities. The area of the proposed
plant is flat terrain. During construction, excavated soil will be restored
to its original shape. Thus the impact during the construction is
reversible, for short term and insignificant.
During the operation phase of the project, no impact is envisaged on the
topography. Topographical changes will not occur during the operational
phase. Thus, topography will remain unchanged after proposed set up of
unit.
4.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
4.3.1 CONSTRUCTION PHASE
The source of air emission during the construction will include dust from
site cleaning, excavation of the plant area, construction activity etc.
These emissions are expected to result in change in baseline air quality,
primarily in the working area only. Dust and other emissions are not
likely to spread in wider area and not affect homes and other properties.
Dust will generate within working areas and measures will be taken to
protect workers. Some fugitive emission will generate from
transportation of raw material within the plant premises for construction
and vehicular movement.
To mitigate the impact of fugitive emission due to Suspended Particulate
Matter (SPM), regular sprinkling of the water will be done along with the
construction activities and approach road will be made up to complete
construction work.
4.3.2 OPERATIONAL PHASE

Mathematical model used for predictions of impact includes steady state
Gaussian Plume Dispersion model.
The impacts on air quality from any project depend on various factors
like design capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material,
fuel to be used, air pollution control measures, operation and
maintenance. Apart from the above, other activities associated with any
project, viz., transportation of raw materials and finished products,
storage facilities and material handling within the plant premises may
also contribute to air pollution.
4.3.3 SOURCES OF AIR POLLUTION

Main sources of emissions will be Flue gas emission & process gas
emission. There will be two sources of emission one will be from
common stack attached to Boiler & Hot air generator and second
attached to D.G. Sets, where coal and diesel will be used as fuel
respectively. The most probable emitted pollutants will be SPM, SO 2 and
NOx. Unit will have one process stack attached to Chlorination vessel of
phenol. HCl and Cl2 will be the main pollutants likely to be emitted from
the process vessel.
The unit will provide adequate air pollution control system like cyclone
and bag filter to the stack of boiler & HAG and water and alkali scrubber
to the process gas stack.
Adequate stack height of 30 m and 11 m to the flue gas stack and 15 m
to the process gas stack will be provided for proper dispersion of
pollutants into the atmosphere.
Fugitive Emission
The fugitive emissions of may be from leakage through valves, fittings,
pumps, etc. Excess use of solvent may also results in the fugitive
emission from the process vessels.
Special care is also taken while material handling and storage. To
reduce the pollutant emission during transportation, the unit has
adopted the practice of regular check up and maintenance of vehicular
engines for complete combustion of the fuel. Pakka road make to reduce
the fugitive emission. Water sprinkler will be provided to reduce the

dusting from road transportation.
The unit proposes to adopt following measures, which will be continued
after the production starts.
 Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipments to
prevent leakage and thus minimize the fugitive emissions of
VOCs.
 Entire process will be carried out in the closed reactors with
proper maintenance of pressure and temperature.
 Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive
emission.
To mitigate the impact due to Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM),
following control measures will be implemented:
 Pakka road will be developed inside the plant premises.
 Speed of the vehicle will be limited to 20 km/Hr.
 Construction material will be stored separately and covered to
control dust emission due to wind.
 Regular maintenance of vehicles and machinery will be carried
out.
 Ambient air quality monitoring will be done at strategic location.
4.3.4 DISPERSION MODELLING OF EMISSIONS FROM THE PROPOSED

PLANT
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level

concentration during the operation of proposed plant and its impact on
ambient air quality of the area. The ground level concentrations of
pollutants have been computed using computer simulation model
Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST-3) of United State
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and considering guidelines
stipulated by CPCB for air pollution dispersion modeling.
The key emitted pollutants from the proposed plant will be Suspended
Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxide
(NOx).
4.4 MICROMETEOROLOGY
The hourly wind speed, solar insulation and total cloudiness during day
time and wind speed and total cloudiness during night time were used
to determine the hourly atmospheric stability classes (defined by
Pasquill and Gifford as A to F, A being most unstable and F being most
stable). The hourly stability classes were determined based on the
technique suggested by Turner.
Turner’s system used for determining the stability classes is as follows:
 For day or night: If total cloud cover (TC) = 10/10 and ceiling
<7000 ft (2134 m), NR=0
 For night-time (defined as period from one hour before sunset to
one hour after sunrise):
a) If TC<4/10, use NR = -2
b) If TC>4/10, use NR = -1
 For daytime: determine isolation class number (IN)
a) If TC<5/10, use NR=IN
b) If TC>5/10, modify IN by the sum of the following applicable
criteria
If ceiling<7000 ft (2134m), modification = -2
If ceiling>7000 ft but <16000 ft (4877 m), modification = -1
 If TC=10/10 and ceiling>7000 ft, modification= -1, and let
modified value of IN=NR, except for day-time NR cannot be <+1.
During the study period stability calculated based on above-mentioned
Turner method gives average stability as A-B class during Day time and
E class during Night time. The mean mixing height considered for
prediction is 100 m as mean minimum and 1200 m as mean maximum.
Average micro meteorological data of January-13 to March-13 is
used.
4.4.1 AIR QUALITY MODELING AND PREDICTIONS USING THE
GAUSSIAN MODEL (ISCST- 3)
The objective of dispersion modeling is to predict the ground level
concentration during the operation of proposed plant and its impact on
ambient air quality of the area.
The impact on air quality due to emissions from single source or group
of sources is evaluated by use of mathematical models. When air
pollutants are emitted into the atmosphere, they are immediately
diffused into surrounding atmosphere, transported and diluted due to
winds. The air quality models are designed to simulate these processes
mathematically and to relate emissions of primary pollutants to the
resulting downwind air quality. The inputs include emissions,
meteorology and surrounding topographic details to predict the impacts
of conservative pollutants.
The impacts of air pollutants were predicted using Gaussian air
dispersion model, which is selected on the basis of existence of multiple
point sources within the industrial complex and the plain terrain at the
project site. This model has been developed to simulate the effect of
emissions from point sources on air quality. Gaussian model is
extensively used for predicting the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs)
of conservative pollutants from point, area and volume sources. The
impacts of primary air pollutants are predicted using this air quality
model keeping in view the plain terrain at the project site. The
micrometeorological data monitored at project site during study period
have been used in this model.
The Gaussian model provides estimates of pollutant concentrations at
various receptor locations. It is, an hour-by-hour steady state Gaussian
model which takes into account the following:
 Terrain adjustments
 Stack-tip downwash
 Gradual plume rise
 Buoyancy-induced dispersion, and
 Complex terrain treatment and consideration of partial reflection
 Plume reflection off elevated terrain
 Building down wash
 Partial penetration of elevated inversions is accounted for hourly.
 Source emission rates, exit velocity and stack gas temperature.
These models were used to estimate the ambient air quality levels at
different monitoring stations due to stack emissions. Only two stability
conditions based on the meteorology aspects were used to calculate the
theoretical maximum ground level concentration. Comparing the actual
data and data generated from mathematical modeling, it highlights that
the stability condition E & A-B were predominant in the region. Using
the estimated stack emission data and wind speed directions, a
mathematical model was prepared to establish the ground level
concentration in the region.
4.4.2 METHODOLOGY
Prediction of GLC values are made by using Industrial Source Complex
Short Term Model Version-3 (ISCST-3) software approved by U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA). This model uses a steady
state, sector-averaged Gaussian plume equation for application in
complex terrain (i.e. terrain stack or release height) and is run using
stability classes developed by Pasquill and Gifford.
Following are the assumptions made while using the model:
- No dry and wet depletion of pollutants
- Receptors are on flat terrain with no flag pole
Data Used for Computation
Stack emissions data have been used for prediction of short-term
incremental GLC values of SPM, SO2, NOx, HCl and Cl2 using the one
season meteorological data collected at site during January-13 to
March-13. Details of the data used for computations are given below:
Source Characteristics/Release Characteristics
The details of estimated stack emissions load are given in Table 4.1.
Meteorological Parameters
Hourly meteorological data collected at site for the period of January-
13 to March-13 have been used for computing the meteorological
parameters.
Dispersion Modeling Results
The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values from
proposed project have been computed for S SPM, SO2, NOx, HCl and Cl2
considering topographical features around the proposed plant and

applicable stability classes. The maximum 24 hourly average GLC values
for SPM, SO2, NOx, HCl and Cl2 from proposed plant are given in Table
4.2 to Table 4.6. Corresponding isopleths plotted are shown in Figure
4.1 to Figure 4.5.
4.4.3 Predicted GLCs of proposed plant
It is predicted that, the maximum contribution in GLCs, with units
operating at full capacity, is 0.323 g/m3, 0.179 g/m3, 0.095 g/m3,
0.016 g/m3 and 0.011 g/m3 for PM, SO2, NOx, HCl and Cl2
respectively 1 km away from project site (Source) in W direction.
With this marginal contribution due to the project, the levels of
SPM, SO2, NOx, HCl & Cl2 will be below the 24–hourly ambient air quality
standards for SO2 & NOx (80 g/m3), PM (100 g/m3) and HCl & Cl2
(norms not prescribed by CPCB) prescribed by CPCB. The 24-hourly
average GLC Values are reported in Table 4.2 to Table 4.6. The
operation of proposed plant is not likely to cause any significant impact
on the ambient air quality of the study area.
4.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT

4.5.1 Water Demand
Construction phase
During the construction activities, required quantity of water will be met
from Keshvana Industrial Area, Kothputli, Dist.: Jaipur, Rajasthan or
from own bore well. No disposal of construction waste outside the plant
and no leaching are anticipated. Thus the quality and quantity of ground
water will not have any adverse impact during construction phase.
Operational Phase
Water demand during operational phase will be 25.5 KLD, which will be
fulfilled from Keshvana Industrial Area, Kothputli, Dist.: Jaipur,
Rajasthan or own bore well after obtaining required permission from
concern authority.
Water shall be required during operation of the plant for following
purposes:
 Domestic use
 Process
 Scrubber
 Washing
 Utilities i.e. boiler and cooling
 Greenbelt (Recycle water)
4.5.2 Wastewater Generation
Source of effluent generation will be from process, utilities and
equipment & floor washing and scrubber. The generated wastewater will
be 15.45 KLD. Entire quantity of wastewater will be passed through RO
after primary treatment and detoxification treatment. RO Reject will be
evaporated in evaporator and Condensate from the evaporator &
permeate from RO will be reused for gardening purpose within
premises. Hence no wastewater discharges outside the premises.
Generated domestic wastewater will be around 6.0 KLD, which will be
disposed off to soak pit through septic tank.
4.5.3 Impact on Water Environment
The generated wastewater during operational phase will be mainly from
process, utilities and domestic activities. After treatment, industrial
wastewater will be evaporated in evaporator. Hence, insignificant impact
on water environment.
4.6 NOISE LEVEL IMPACT
Any unwanted sound that creates disturbance in hearing is termed as
Noise. Hence, it is important to assess the present noise quality of the
area in order to predict the potential impact of future noise levels due to
the project.
4.6.1 Prediction of Impact during Construction Phase
The noise produced during construction phase may have significant
impact ambient noise levels. Since, the proposed project will be in new
premises; there will be construction activities to be carried out.
Additional noise will be generated due to installation of new machineries
and equipments. However, these impacts will be very minor and
temporary in nature. The noise impact will be relatively more on
construction workers during their duty hours, which will be mitigated by

use of personal protective devices like ear muffs/plugs etc. will further
minimize the noise impacts. All over the impact will be very minor and
temporary in nature.
4.6.2 Prediction of Impact during Operational Phase

The main sources of noise within the plant are boiler, HAG, EMS, D.G.
set, machineries, process plant etc. Suitable noise control systems will
be provided to ensure that noise does not exceed the limits. The noise
level shall, however, exceed the limits for a short period during start-up
of equipments. The other sources of noise are the movement of vehicles
along the road. However, proper noise preventive measures have been
taken to minimize the noise pollution like ear plugs, ear muff, dampers
to the boilers, efficient silencers to the vehicles, etc.
The results of monitoring carried out in the region have been presented
in Chapter-3. The results are below the standards prescribed for
Industrial environment. It can be concluded that, the impact on noise
environment will be long term but insignificant.
The mitigation measures proposed for minimising impacts on noise
quality are provided in Chapter 10.
4.7 LAND/SOIL ENVIRONMENT
The main source of impact on land and soil environment will be due to
construction activities in the project phase.
4.7.1 Prediction of Impacts during Construction Phase
Since, the proposed project will be in the new premises; there will be
construction activities to be carried out and installation of new
machineries and equipments. But all this would not make a huge
damage to the present condition of land. Further the area of the plant is
flat. Leveling would not be required. Thus, topography will also remain
unchanged after execution of the proposal. Thus, the impact on the
land/soil during the construction will for short terms and insignificant.
4.7.2 Prediction of Impacts during Operation Phase (Hazardous

Waste)
Hazardous waste generation will be the main source of impact on the
soil environment. Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled
and disposed as per Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and
Trans boundary movement) Rules’2008, amended time to time.
There will be five sources of hazardous waste generation. ETP waste will
be sent to TSDF site. Used oil will be reuse for internal lubrication
purpose, in case of excess, sell to registered re-processors. Drums &
bags will be sold to registered recyclers. Residue will be sent for
incineration at CHWIF approved by concern State Pollution Control
Board. Hydrochloric acid will be captive use and balance will be sold to
actual users.
Thus, after taking adequate steps for the hazardous waste storage,
there will be inadequate impact on the environment due to proposed
project activities.
4.8 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS: CONSTRUCTION & OPERATIONAL
PHASE
The plant technology is most modern and will require educated and
trained manpower & unskilled manpower. The surrounding area has got
good educational facilities so; mostly the employment will be from
surrounding area. However, some experts with requisite experience may
come from outside also.
The operation of the proposed plant may require the workforce of about
70 personnel. Thus it will boost up the commercial and economical
status of the locality to some extent. Thus, overall impacts on socio-
economic environment due to the existence of plant will be long term
and positive in nature.
In view of the above the overall impacts on socio-economic environment
due to the proposed plant are long term and positive in nature.
4.9 ECOLOGICAL IMPACTS

Impacts of the proposed project on the ecological environment like
natural vegetation, crops, fisheries and aquatic life, species diversity,
are summarized here under:
The area around the premises has dense growth of vegetation. Various
trees, shrubs and herbs are found in and around it. A list of which is
given in Chapter 3. None of the plants are in the list of Endangered
Plant Species.
The high Stomata Index of Azadirachta Indica makes them susceptible
to SO2. However, the emissions from the industry will be within limits
and proper dispersion provision will be provided by adequate stack
height hence no major impact is expected from these plants.
The high SPM levels may harm leaves by blocking stomata and thus
interfering with exchange of gases during photosynthesis and
respiration and also cause abrasion of plant surfaces when the wind
blows. But the site is not subjected to high-speed winds and the plants
can be expected to be free from any major impacts of SPM. Thus, there
will not be any significant impact on ecological environment due to
proposed project activities.
4.10 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACT
The plant will require educated and trained manpower. The surrounding
area has also got good educational facilities at Jaipur, so employment
will be satisfied from surrounding area. However, some persons with
requisite experience will come from outside also. Unit will require total
70 nos. of manpower. Thus, increasing industrial activity will boost up
the commercial and economical status of the locality to some extent.
Thus, overall impacts on socio-economic environment due to the
existence of plant are long term and positive in nature.
Mitigation Measures for different component
4.11 Mitigation measures during Construction:

In order to mitigate the adverse environment impact due to the
construction phase are given below:
 Regular sprinkling of the water will be recommended along with the
construction activities.
 Regular preventing maintenance of machinery and transportation of
vehicles during construction to reduce noise pollution.
 The domestic sewage generated during the construction activity will
be routed to septic tanks followed by soak pit.
 To protect the workers working in noisy area, personal protective
equipments like earmuffs/earplugs, safety shoes will be provided.
 Tree plantation will be proposed around periphery of plant premises
and along the road side.
4.12 Mitigation measures during the operational phase:
4.12.1 Measures for Air Environment
A) Stack Emission
 Flue gas volume should be checked for amount of air needed for the
complete combustion of the fuel.
 The unit will also provide adequate stack monitoring facilities for the
periodic monitoring of the stack to verify the compliance of the
stipulated norms.
 In order to minimize the air pollution the unit will develop green belt
on and around its premises.
B) Measures for fugitive emissions
The unit will have following measures:
 Pakka/concrete roads will make to reduce the fugitive emission.

Water sprinkler will be provided to reduce the dusting from road
transportation.
 To reduce the pollutant emission during transportation, the unit will
ensure adopting the practice of regular check up and maintenance of
vehicular engines for complete combustion of the fuel by the

transporters.
 Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive
emission.
4.12.2 Measures for water environment
 Unit proposed to recharge ground water during the whole year and
especially in monsoon to balance the water table by making a
recharge sump/ structures etc. in own premises.
 Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor to reduce the

amount of wastewater generated.
4.12.3 Measures for hazardous/solid waste
 Classification of waste
 Collection, storage, transportation & disposal & sell to appropriate
recycler &/or reuse.
 Data Management and Reporting
 Separate storage area
4.12.4 Measures for Noise
To minimize the noise pollution, the unit proposes the following noise
control measures,
 Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or
protective measures should be provided, if required (wherever noise
level is more than 90 dB (A)).
 Employees should be provided with ear protection measures like
earplugs or earmuffs. Earplug should be provided to all workers
where exposure is 85 dB (A) or more.
 Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be
carried out for the machineries and equipments to reduce noise
generation.
4.12.5 Health & Safety measures

 Provision of periodic medical check up for all the employees.
 The unit will engage a medical officer for the regular medical
examination and treatment of the employee.
 Protective equipments will be regularly checked and will be kept

easily accessible and easily workable during emergency.
 Various types of fire extinguishers such as (Foam type, water CO 2
type, CO2 type) will be provided inside the factory premises.

Environmental Monitoring Program
6.1 Prelude:
Environment monitoring is the sampling and analysis tool to know the

environment conditions at particular time. The record of environmental
monitoring is most important as the environmental changes are slow in
nature and impact appears after many years. Environmental Monitoring
is the technical heart of Assessment of environmental and social impacts
arising due to implementation of the proposed project. An equally
essential element of this process is to develop measures to eliminate,
offset or reduce impacts to acceptable levels during implementation and
operation of projects. The integration of such measures into project
implementation and operation is supported by clearly defining the
environmental requirements within an Environmental Management Plan
(EMP). M/s. Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd. proposed to set up Agro
technical products manufacturing plant. It has proposed for adequate
environmental monitoring programme.
Environment Monitoring Program:
The continuous monitoring of Environmental parameters like air, water,

noise, soil and meteorological data and performance of pollution control
facilities and safety measures in the plant are vital for proper
environmental management of any industrial project. Therefore, the
company shall create environmental monitoring facilities by the
environmental and safety department to monitor air and water pollutants
as per the guideline of SPCB and CPCB. Moreover, air, water and soil
shall be monitored by outside agencies authorized by SPCB at regular
frequencies. This department shall also carry out periodical checkup of
fire and safety equipments.
6.2 Monitoring Plan:
The basic objective of implementing a monitoring plan on a regular basis

is as follows:
 Know the pollution status within the plant and its vicinity.
 Generate data for corrective action in respect of pollution.
 Correlate the production operations with emission and control

mechanism.
 Examine the performance of pollution control system.
 Assess the Environmental impacts.
 Remedial measures and environment management plant to reverse

the impacts.
6.3 Schedules for Environment Monitoring:

The environmental monitoring will be scheduled on regular interval to
assess the conditions. The record of these monitoring will be compared
with the baseline study to know the changes in environmental
conditions. The post-project environmental monitoring suggested
herewith should be as per the following guideline. The highlights of the
integrated environmental monitoring plan are:
 The stack monitoring facilities like ladder, platform and port – hole
at all the stacks will be maintained in good condition.
 Regular monitoring of all gaseous emissions from stacks/vents.
 The performance of air pollution control equipment evaluated
based on these monitoring results.
 Water consumption will be recorded daily.
 As far as possible, noise curbed at its source, with the help of
acoustic hoods and other such noise reducing equipment. Regular
noise level monitoring carried out.
 Green belt properly maintained and new plantation programmes
undertaken frequently.
 Continuous environmental awareness programmes will be carried
out for the employees and also in the surrounding villages.
6.4 Ambient Air Quality monitoring
Schemes for monitoring of ambient air quality stack emissions and
fugitive emissions are proposed. The ambient air quality monitoring
systems are recommended for monitoring the ground level
concentrations and fugitive emissions around the plant. Unit should
install three monitoring stations around its array limit (at 1200 as per
guideline) for monitoring PM, SO2 and NOx. The combined data will
provide overall characteristic and emission from the industry. For this,
the following equipment is recommended to be procured or hire the
services from Environmental consultant by the project proponent for
implementing the above mentioned monitoring schemes:
Respirable Dust Sampler
Blower -1.0-1.5 m3/min capacity with adapter for uniform suction
through filter and a properly calibrated manometer assembly for the
determination of flow rate through filter paper.
Rota meter- For gaseous sampling calibrated Rota meter (0-5 LPM) for
maintaining flow rate should be provided.
Main housing-The main housing should be rectangular with a stand of
about 1.25 m height. Besides this, stack emissions monitoring as per
SPCB guidelines shall be carried out.
6.5 Noise Environment
Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of
maintenance schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise
protection measures. A good quality digital sound pressure level meter is
essential for this purpose.
6.6 Water Environment
Entire quantity of wastewater will be passed through RO after primary
treatment and detoxification treatment. RO Reject will be evaporated in
evaporator and Condensate from the evaporator & permeate from RO
will be reused for gardening purpose within premises. Hence no
wastewater discharges outside the premises. However wastewater is
being analyzed at the outlet of ETP regularly.
6.7 Transportation
All the necessary precaution will be taken while carrying out transport of
the materials as per the Hazardous rules of transportation, Central Motor
Vehicle Act-1988 & 1989. The vehicle for transportation of raw materials
and products will be parked at specified loading facilities where there will
be a provision of fire extinguishers.

Keshvana Industrial Estate, Tal: Kothputli, Dist. Jaipur, Rajasthan. The
unit proposes to start production with capacity of 6210 TPA Technical
Pesticide.
The risk assessment studies have been conducted for identification of
hazards, to calculate damage distances and to spell out risk mitigation
measures.
7.2 Scope of Study
The scope of work is to carry out risk analysis for the proposed project
of the production facility covering all the hazardous chemicals to be
handled and stored at the plant.
7.3 Study Objective
The objective of the risk analysis includes the following:
• Identification of hazards
• Selection of credible scenarios
• Consequences analysis of selected accidents scenarios
• Risk Mitigation Measures
7.4 The Study Approach
The risk assessment study broadly comprises the following steps:
• System Description
• Identification of Hazards
• Selection of Credible Accident Scenarios
• Consequence Analysis
• Risk Mitigation Measures

7.5 System Description
This step comprises the compilation of the location, design and
operational information needed for the risk analysis.
7.6 Identification of Hazards
Hazards associated with the plant are identified and summary of
relevant accident cases are reviewed.
7.7 Selection of Accident Scenarios
The release sources and potential accidents scenarios in the plant are
listed. For each selected release source several scenarios are developed
depending upon the failure mode causing loss of containment.
7.8 Effects & Consequence Estimation
Effects & consequence estimation are done to determine the potential
for damage or injury from the selected scenarios. The incident outcomes
are analyzed using release rate, dispersion, combustion, and heat
radiation and explosion models from fires.
7.9 Risk Reduction Measures
Based on hazard identification and consequence analysis, risk reduction
measures are suggested to reduce risk and enhance safety at the plant.
7.10 Hazardous Identification
Hazard is defined as those chemical or physical conditions that have the
potential for causing damage to people, property or the environment.
This chapter describes hazards associated with the plant due to handling
and storage of hazardous chemicals. Maximum credible accidents
scenarios involved in release of hazardous materials are selected and
vulnerable zones are computed.
Hazard identification is the first step in the risk analysis and entails the
process of collecting information on the types and quantities of
hazardous substances stored and handled, the location of storage tanks
& other facilities, potential hazards associated with the spillage and
release of hazardous chemicals.
The assessment of vulnerable zones resulting from an accidental release
of hazardous substance into the environment is one of the key elements
of risk analysis. Quantification of the effects of such releases requires,

data of the chemicals stored or handled in the area, quantities stored,
operating parameters, quantity that would be released in case of an
accident, meteorological conditions and physical attributes of the area.
The starting point of risk analysis study is the identification of hazards
and selection of scenarios that are then addressed for further
consequence analysis.
The proposed plant will be engaged in handling and storage of various
flammable and toxic hazardous materials. Important characteristic of
these hazardous materials are described in details.

7.10.10 Hydrochloric Acid

Hydrochloric acid is a slightly yellow colour liquid with a pungent,
irritating odour and it is identified as a corrosive hazard of ‘Class 8’. As
a result of spillage on the ground, it evaporates and forms a toxic
vapour cloud but this acidic vapour cloud is generally vary small and of
no consequence.
7.11 QUANTITIES OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS
Many chemicals will be stored at the plant in small to large quantities as
per requirement. Majority of chemicals are stored in small quantities. As
per Manufacture, storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals rules
1989 and amendment subsequently, there will be only few hazardous
chemicals, which have potential for creating risk to life and property in
an unlikely event of leakage or spillage followed by fire.
The bulk quantities of hazardous chemicals are stored at the plant in
tank farm area with adequate dyke. Other chemicals will be stored in
cylindrical tanks, barrels and carboys. Details of storage of hazardous
materials are given in Table 7.1.

7.11.1 Precautions to be taken during storage and transportation of

hazardous chemicals
Proper consideration of safety in handling and transportation of
chemicals should be taken.
The following points must be taking into account for this purpose:
• All hazardous and toxic chemicals (acids, alkalis and organics) must
be identified. Material information sheets must be acquired and
specific warning sign must be shown for potentially dangerous
chemicals.
• In transport and transfer of chemicals, proper handling precautions
provided by manufacturer must be observed. All containers for
storage should be chemical resistant, leak free, and with good caps
of stoppers.
• Gloves and goggles should be used while handling chemical of toxic
nature. It is preferred that at least two persons should be present at
all time while working with chemicals.
• Heating flammable solvent may cause fire. Such work must be
carried out in a well-ventilation fume-cupboard.
• Keep away from incompatibles such as oxidizing agents, organic
materials, metals, alkali and moisture.
• Avoid all possible sources of ignition (spark or flame).
• In case of ethyl alcohol, keep away from source of ignition.
• Ideally, sulphuric acid should be stored in isolated from all other
chemicals in corrosive safety cabinets.
• Driver should be carry TREM card, instruction sheet with him during
transportation.
• The driver shall have knowledge of emergency actions required in
case of accident and aware of the parking places, which are safe
from fire, explosion and any other risk to person.
7.12 HAZARDS DUE TO LEAKAGE OR CONTAINMENT
Hazardous chemicals to be handled and stored at the plant are in mostly
liquids form. In the event of leakage or accidental release of these
chemicals, it will create only localized effects within the short distances
from fixed or spread pool in case of fire. There is possibility that release
of some hazardous chemicals may form vapour cloud which can move
towards wind direction and may explode in the event of fire if mass and
concentration of air and vapour mixture is within the LEL and UEL limits.
However, mass of vapour and air mixture may not be adequate to
generate explosive mass.
Storage and handling of hazardous chemicals will not pose any
hazardous situation if these are handled or stored correctly with
adequate safety provisions and fire fighting facilities. Therefore, suitable
safety measures including fire fighting facilities will be provided at the
plant to attend any emergency due to accidental release of these
hazardous chemicals.
Among the hazardous inventories, there are few potential toxic
materials that can form toxic vapour cloud in unlikely event of release.
7.13 MAXIMUM CREDIBLE ACCIDENT SCENARIOS
The plant will be dealing with many hazardous substances described in
details. Most of hazardous chemicals are in the form of liquid and
considered as flammable and provided with dyke for loss of
containment. Subsequently, their consequence due to thermal radiation
will be confined within short distances. If released quantities are not
ignited, therefore, vapour formation can result in vapour and air mixture
and may generate explosive mass which can explode if it gets the
source of ignition. Toxic cloud of hazardous chemicals may also be
formed and moved towards wind direction.
7.13.1 Methodology for Selection of Accident Scenarios

In this study, following steps are followed for scenario selection for risk
analysis study:
• The hazardous materials to be handled at the plant and the
associated hazards have been identified and assessed.
• Operating and storage conditions of handling and storage of
hazardous materials are studied.
• An assessment is made of what inventories can get released
accidentally.
• Release rates are calculated considering deferent cases. For

further analysis of selected release sources, representative
failure modes and failure sizes are identified.
7.13.2 Maximum Credible Accident Scenarios

Following maximum credible scenarios have been selected for
consequence analysis as a result of accidental releases:
Sr. Type of Release Outcome Cases Considered
No.
1. Release of IPA from Tank Formation of pool and thermal
radiation due to fire
Vapour cloud explosion
Dispersion of toxic cloud of
vapours
2. Release of Ethyl Alcohol Formation of pool and thermal
from Tank radiation due to fire
Vapour cloud explosion
Dispersion of toxic cloud of
vapours
3. Leakage of Chlorine Dispersion of toxic vapor cloud
Cylinder of chlorine gas
7.14 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS

Consequence analysis for the selected accident scenarios has been
carried to estimate the vulnerable zones. Thermal radiation distances
have been computed based on various heat flux values vulnerable to
men and materials at the plant, while modelling of dispersion cloud is
based on IDLH (Immediately Dangerous for Life and Health) values. On
identification of vulnerable zones for failure cases, measures can be
taken for risk mitigation and to eliminate or minimize damage to the
plant and injury to personal.
7.14.1 Probable Hazards & Risk
From the preliminary risk assessment study carried out for Agrow Allied
Ventures Pvt. Ltd. some of the possible hazards have been identified.
The likely accident scenarios considered are given below:
Sr. Scenario Vulnerability Remarks

4. Chlorine Periphery of Dispersion of toxic vapor cloud of
Release storage area chlorine gas
The above-mentioned hazards scenarios can further aggravate into

much more serious incidents if not intercepted in time. The fire in one
tank of tank farm can spread to adjoining tanks and may result in
explosions. The vulnerability zone will be considerably enlarged. The
vapors of toxic fluids/dust if carried away by wind above TLV
concentrations may further enlarge the vulnerability zone. Similarly,
toxic fluid spillage and all wastes leaving the live processing zone if not
decontaminated properly can cause serious health hazard to plant
personnel and persons in nearby area.
7.15 Maximum Credible Accident Scenarios
Following maximum credible scenarios have been selected for
consequence analysis as a result of accidental releases:
7.15.1 Consequence Analysis

Consequence analysis for the selected accident scenarios has been
carried to estimate the vulnerable zones. On identification of vulnerable
zones for failure cases, measures can be taken for risk mitigation and to
eliminate or minimize damage to the plant and injury to personal.
7.15.2 Release of Chlorine

In the event of release of chlorine from 900 kg cylinders, cloud of toxic
gas will be formed and moved towards wind direction. The IDLH
(Immediately Dangerous to Life and Health) concentration value for 10
minutes exposure has been taken as the criteria for the ‘wounded’
category.
7.15.3 Effect & Consequence Analysis

As a part of risk assessment study maximum credible accident analysis
(MCA) is carried out to determine the maximum loss scenario from this
analysis. It is an eventuality which is possible and will have maximum
consequential distances for the particular hazardous chemicals under
evaluation.
The selection of the accident scenarios is based on the engineering and
professional judgment, accident descriptions of the past in similar type
of plants & the expertise in risk analysis studies.
7.15.4 Consequence Analysis for Chlorine Release Scenarios

Scenario Description
Catastrophic failure of the chlorine cylinder from valve will result in a
release of chlorine gas. The released chlorine gas will flash vigorously.
Toxic vapour cloud of chlorine gas will be formed which will be dispersed

7.16 METHODOLOGY, APPROACH AND DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR RISK
ASSESSMENT
Consequence analysis is that part of risk analysis, which considers
individual failure cases and the damage, caused by each failure case. It
is done to predict the outcome of potentially serious hazardous
accidents to man and material in and around the plant boundary limits.
The advantages of carrying out consequence analysis are given below:
• To improve plant layout (for new projects and for expansion of
existing one)
• To meet statutory requirements
• Protection of public in the nearby areas (no residential/ inhabited
near by)
• Disaster management planning
• Training tool
The findings of a consequence analysis provide information about

hazardous effects resulting from an accident scenario. In addition,
Methods for dealing with possible catastrophic events are also provided.
7.16.1 Hazards Evaluation: Exposure to Toxic Dusts/Vapors
Leakage in process plant from failure of nozzles, joints (flange joint),

welding failures or dripping from non-holding valves/glands or dusts
generation during charging of solids at times goes unnoticed. If the
leaky dust or fluids being toxic and odorless it is a potential source of
risk, which may cause fatal/serious hazards.
Liquids with high saturation vapor pressures evaporate faster because
the evaporation rate (mass/time) is essentially proportional to the
saturation vapor pressure. In the case of vaporization into stagnant air,
the vaporization rate is proportional to the difference between the
saturation vapor pressure and the partial pressure in the stagnant air.
7.16.2 Liquid Pool Evaporation or Boiling
The pool boiling cases may be encountered during heavy leakage in

enclosed area (dyke wall of tanks) and with heat source nearby
(ambient or fire) the vapor can explode or catch fire (in case the
material is flammable and sparks/flame contact is made).
7.16.3 Plant Leakage in Confined Space
A chemical fluid spill is a common type of process incident and can lead
to potentially serious accident. If the spilled material gives rise to
hazardous vapor or aerosol these may interact with plant environment
resulting in explosion or harm to plant’s personnel/ damage to plant
equipment/machinery (if vapors are toxic/ corrosive/inflammable). Most
chemical spills do not have such dramatic sequences but they must all
be handled carefully and correctly. Plant of Agrow allied will open with
natural ventilation.
7.16.4 Damage Criteria
In order to appreciate the extent of damage produced by various

accident scenarios, it is appropriate to discuss the physiological/
physical effects of toxic fluid exposure/thermal radiation intensities due
to spillage causing subsequent fire. The thermal radiation usually results

in burn on the human body and damage to plantation. Furthermore,
inanimate objects like equipment, piping, cables, etc. may be affected
and may aggravate the situation further.
Consequence analysis has been carried out for selected failure cases.
Consequence analysis quantifies vulnerable zones for a likely incident
and once the vulnerable zone is identified for an incident, measures are
proposed to eliminate damage to plant and potential injury to personnel.
7.17 RISK MITIGATION MEASURES
For risk mitigation/reduction, attempts should be made either to reduce
inventories that could get released in the event of loss of containment
or failure likelihoods or both as feasible. Risk analysis identifies the
major risk contributors, which enables prioritization of the plant that
deserve special attention in terms of inspection and maintenance in
particular and over all safety management as a whole.
For the risk reduction at the plant, the following salient suggestions and
recommendations are made:
• On site and off site emergency response plan should be prepared
and circulated to concern persons.
• Personnel at the proposed plant and public in surrounding area
should be made aware about the hazardous substance stored at
the plant and risk associated with them.
• A written process safety information document should be compiled
for general use.

hazards presented including (i) toxicity information (ii) permissible
exposure limits. (iii) Physical data (iv) thermal and chemical
stability data (v) reactivity data (vi) corrosivity data (vii)
information on process and mechanical design.
• The process design information in the process safety information
compilation must include P & IDs/PFDs; process chemistry;
maximum intended inventory; acceptable upper and lower limits,
pressures, flows and compositions and process design and energy

balances.
• The adequate numbers of heat and smoke detectors should be
provided at strategic locations in the plant and indication of
detectors/sensors should be provided in main control room.
• Predictive and preventive maintenance schedule should be
prepared for equipment, piping, etc. and thickness survey should
be done periodically as per standard practices.
• A written procedure (Management of Change) must be developed
to manage changes to process chemicals, technology, equipment
and procedures that affect a covered process.
• Safe work practices should be developed to provide for the control
of hazards during operation and maintenance such as: (i)
lockout/tag out (ii) Confined space entry (iii) Opening process
equipment or piping (iv) Control over entrance into a facility by
maintenance, contractor, laboratory, or other support personnel.
• Personnel engaged in handling of hazardous chemicals should be
trained to respond in an unlikely event of emergencies.
• The plant should check and ensure that all instruments provided in
the plant are in good condition and documented.

corrective actions should listed and taken accordingly.
7.18 Personal Protective Equipment
Personal protective equipments are devices that are fitted and issued to
each worker personally for his or her exclusive use. They are intended
for temporary use and emergency response action only. If a worker has
to enter in a contaminated area, he must wear adequate protective
equipment. Employees should be taught when and how to use
respiratory apparatus provided, and how to recognize defects in the

equipment. Full dress escape drills should be conducted at least once a
year. If such safety equipment is not available, entry into the
contaminated area should not be attempted.
• Personal protective equipment should be easily accessible outside
the hazardous material storage area and away from areas of likely
contamination.
• Employees who work near RM storage Tank must be issued a
properly fitting cartridge type or canister type escape respirator.
• Facial hair should not be permitted for those who are issued
escape-type or self-contained respirators because it prevents a
proper seal.
• Each employee should maintain his/her personal protective
equipment clean and in working condition at all times.
• All equipments should be used and maintained in accordance with
the manufacturer’s instructions.
7.19 Handling of Hazards
• Personal protective equipment used by the person during handling
of hazardous chemicals, should be replaced after certain time.
• Any spillage of hazardous chemicals should be cleaned and
disposed off as per standard practice.
• Empty drums of hazardous chemicals should be neutralized
immediately.
• Personnel engaged in handling of hazardous chemicals should be
made aware of properties of hazardous chemicals.
7.20 General Working Conditions
(a) House Keeping
• All the passages, floors and stairways should be maintained in
good condition. The system should be available to deal with any
spillage of dry or liquid chemical at the plant.
• Sufficient disposable bins should be clearly marked and these

proper functioning.
7.21.7 Accident Reporting, Investigation And Analysis

A system should be initiated for accident reporting, investigation and
analysis. To motivate and to increase awareness among the personnel
at the plant about safety, total accident (lost time injury) free days can
be displayed on the board prominently at strategic location.
7.21.8 Safety Inspections

The system should be initiated for checklist based routine safety
inspection and internal audit of the plant periodically. Safety inspection
team should be formed from various disciplines and departments.
7.21.9 Safe Operating Procedures

Safe operating procedures should be formulated and updated, specific
to process & equipment and distributed to concerned plant personnel.
7.22 Onsite and offsite emergency plan during chemical disaster
On-site Emergency: If an accident/incident takes place in a factory, its
effects is confined to the factory premises, involving only the persons
working in the factory and the property inside the factory it is called as
On-site Emergency.
Off-site Emergency: If the accident is such that its affects inside the
factory are uncontrollable and it may spread outside the factory
premises, it is called as Off-site Emergency.
The main objectives of an emergency plan are-
• To control and contain the incident/accident and if possible,
eliminate it; and
• To minimize the effects of the incident on persons, property and
environment.
Each factory or industrial unit should prepare an emergency plan
incorporating
• Details of action to be taken in case of any major
accident/disaster occurring inside the factory. The plan should
cover all types of major accident/occurrences and identify the risk
involved in the plant. Mock drills on the plan should be carried out
periodically to make the plan foolproof and persons are made fully
prepared to fight against any incident in the plant. The plan will
vary according to the type of industry and emergency.
(B) Social Impact Assessment:

No any negative Social Impact envisaged from the proposed project

Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis
9.1 Introduction:
Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis works on theory of prices and values,

for priceless as it calculates the worth of life, nature and natural
resources.
Cost-benefit analysis offers a way of achieving superior environmental
results at a lower overall cost to society than other available approaches.
The costs and the benefits of regulation often will be realized in the
future; in such cases the numeric estimates of costs and benefits are
“discounted,” i.e. treated as equivalent to smaller amounts of money
today. Proponents of cost-benefit analysis make one basic arguments in
its favor that is use of cost-benefit analysis ostensibly leads to more
“efficient” allocation of society’s resources by better identifying which
potential regulatory actions are worth undertaking and in what manner.
9.2 Proposed Project:
Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis produces more efficient decision by

increasing monetary values of the life, health and natural resources.
The proposed project of M/s. Agrow Allied Venture Pvt. Ltd. is
proposed to set up Agro technical products manufacturing plant, which
has limited impacts on environment and has good potential for profitable
business leading to improvement of quality of life around the project
location.
In order to assess the pros and cons of any particular regulatory standard
for proposed activity, cost-benefit analysis seeks to translate all relevant
considerations into monetary terms.
Here the Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis was calculated in terms of

saving life, storing up of natural resources by applying adequate
measures such as APCM like bag filter and cyclone to the common stack
attached to steam boiler & hot air generator and scrubber to process gas
stack, Effluent Treatment Plant, Evaporator, greenbelt development and

rain water harvesting.
This pollution prevention measures will minimize effect of pollutants on

environment. These will lead to the saving of human lives and the
prevention of diseases.
Chapter-10
Environment Management Plan
10.1 INTRODUCTION
Assessment of environmental and social impacts arising due to
implementation of the proposed project activities is the technical heart
of EIA process. An equally essential element of this process is to
develop measures to eliminate, off set or reduce impacts to acceptable
levels during implementation and operation of projects. The integration
of such measures in to project implementation and operation is
supported by clearly defining the environmental requirements within an
Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
From the previous chapter it can be said that the proposed project of
Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd. has less pollution potential. For
abatement of environmental pollution, the unit would adopt several
measures, which are summarized in this chapter.
It is a new unit and has done the homework to develop the efficient
Environmental Management Plan. This will be put into existence as per
the requirement after the execution of the proposal.
10.2 OBJECTIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The objectives of the Environmental Management Plan are summarized
here under,
 To limit/reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of
adverse impacts.
 To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and
hazardous waste with adoption of adequate and efficient
technology.
 To comply with all the norms and standards stipulated by State
Pollution Control Board/Central Pollution Control Board.
 To create good working conditions.
 To reduce any risk hazards and design the disaster management
plan.
 Continuous development and search for innovative technologies

for a cleaner and better environment.
10.3 COMPONENTS OF EMP
EMP for the proposed project of Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd.
covers following aspects:
 Description of proposed mitigation measures for proposed
operation phase only
 Description of monitoring program
 Institutional arrangements
 Implementation schedule and reporting procedures
All above aspects and objectives are kept in the view and considering
the same EMP is prepared for two major fields.
10.3.1 Environmental Management systems
M/s. Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd. is well aware of environmental
requirements for planning and implementation of the project and set up
a department with trained personnel headed under the qualified
environmental manager. As indicated in the impact and mitigation
chapter of this report, the environmental impact due to the proposed
project is very marginal release of pollutants.
10.3.2 Environmental, Health and Safety Management System
Chemical Industries prefer an integrated approach and make
environmental management a part of overall Environment, Health and
Safety (EHS) Management system. This model EHS system suggests
and addresses EMS issues such as:
 Management system expectation
 Management leadership, responsibilities and accountability
 Risk assessment and management
 Compliance and other requirements
 Personnel, training and contractor services
 Documentation and communications
 Facilities design and construction
 Operation, maintenance and management
 Community awareness and emergency response
 EHS performance monitoring and measurement
 Incident investigation reporting and analysis

 EHS management system audit
 Management review and audit
With this type of EHS management approach, proposed project would
be able to integrate the requirements of ISO-14001 into the overall
management system.
10.4 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Since Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd. is proposed to manufacture
pesticides Technical in the Keshvana Industrial Estate, Tal: Kothputli,
Dist. Jaipur, Rajasthan. Since the proposed project will need new
premises, there will be construction activities to be carried out hence,
there will be some adverse impacts on the quality of air and water but,
this will not cause adverse effects on the surrounding atmosphere. No
disposal of construction waste outside the plant and no leaching are
anticipated. The activities for installation of new machineries and
equipments will be carried out. Thus, impact will be temporary and
negligible. The construction activities for installation work shall generate
noise and dust within working areas. Therefore, measures will be taken
to protect workers. In order to mitigate the adverse environment
impacts during the construction phase, regular sprinkling of the water
will be done.
10.5 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE
10.5.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The main point sources will be flue gas emission from the common stack
attached to boiler and Hot air Generator and D.G. Set due to
combustion of fuel and process gas emissions from the stack attached
to Chlorination vessel of phenol. The major air pollutants identified from
this industry will be; SPM, SO2 and NOx due to flue gas emission and
HCl & Cl2 from process vent.
However, in order to achieve the reduction, it is suggested that during
operational phase regular maintenance and periodic tuning of the burner
system should be done to ensure proper atomization and subsequent
minimization of any unburned combustibles. It reduces particulate
emissions. For this, combustion process may be further improved by

adopting following measures.
 Optimization of combustion aerodynamics should be done using a
flame retention device.
 Re-circulation of flue gas may be considered to achieve the triple
goals of low PM emissions, low NOX emissions and high thermal
efficiency.
 Primary flame zone O2 level should be decreased by decreasing
overall O2 level, controlling (delaying) mixing of fuel and air, and
use of fuel-rich primary flame zone.
Flue gas volume should be checked for amount of air needed for the
complete combustion of the fuel.
During operation phase, the unit will operate boiler and hot air
generator with high fuel efficiency to reduce the CO emission in
atmosphere. This would reduce the fuel consumption and in turn the
emissions. cyclone and bag filter will be installed on flue gas stack and
Two stage water and one stage Alkali scrubber will be installed to
control HCl + Cl2 process gas. This will be adequate to meet the
stipulated gaseous emission norms.
The unit will also provide adequate stack monitoring facilities for the
periodic monitoring of the stack to verify the compliance of the
stipulated norms.
In order to minimize the air pollution, the unit proposes to create the
green belt area considering the following guidelines:
 Green cover should be created at all the available open spaces.
 To make green belt dense more trees are to be planted at all
patches where plantations already exists.
 Strict surveillance will be made to increase the survival rate of the
trees.
 Plants with higher height, medium and low height should be
planted to ensure thick belt for attenuation of fugitive emission.
This activity demands expert advice and guidance.
10.5.2 Measures for fugitive emissions

The fugitive emissions of may be from leakage through valves, fittings,
pumps, etc. Excess use of solvent may also results in the fugitive
emission from the process vessels.
Good house-keeping, proper maintenance and continuous observation
will prevent the chances of any fugitive emission from the process plant
however; the unit will adopt adequate measures for the
minimization/prevention of the fugitive emission. The unit proposes to
adopt following measures, which will be continued after the production
starts.
 Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipments to
prevent leakage and thus minimize the fugitive emissions of
VOCs.
 Entire process will be carried out in the closed reactors with
proper maintenance of pressure and temperature.
 Regular periodic monitoring of work area to check the fugitive
emission.
Design features suggested and consider at the time of equipment
purchase as per the Table 10.1.
10.5.3 Water Environment
The fresh water requirement of the unit will be 25.5 KLD, which will be
satisfied through water supply of Industrial estate or groundwater
source. Effluent generation will be around 15.45 KLD during the
operational phase including all streams. Entire quantity of wastewater
will be passed through RO after primary treatment and detoxification
treatment. RO Reject will be evaporated in evaporator and condensate
from the evaporator & permeate from RO will be reused for gardening
purpose within premises.
Cleaner production technologies will also be adopted to reduce the
quantity of fresh water requirement and industrial wastewater
generation.
The mitigation measures for minimizing the impacts on water
environment in general includes following:
 Minimization of water use
 Segregation and collection philosophy for effluent to minimize

waste generation and facilitate treatment as well as recycle.
 Treatment philosophy to achieve mandated standards.
 Reuse/recycle and disposal
Some of the measures, which are to be implemented, include:
 Use of high-pressure hoses for cleaning the floor to reduce the
amount of wastewater generated.
 Reducing the actual process water consumption by way of
improvement in operation of processing units.
 Ensuring proper operation and maintenance schedule for the
ETP.
 Reuse ejector water from vacuum ejectors.
10.5.4 Hazardous/Solid Waste Management
Hazardous/Solid Waste management includes following:
 Measures to minimize waste generation.
 Operation of waste handling, treatment and disposal facilities.
The Waste Management plan includes:
 Waste Inventory
 Classification of waste
 Packaging, Storing and Transporting Wastes to Disposal site
 Data Management and Reporting
 Personnel Training
 Waste Minimization
The unit has also proposed adequate hazardous waste management
system, which will be continued after the start of production. The ETP
sludge will be sent to TSDF site approved by SPCB/MoEF. Whereas,
discarded drums/barrels/bags will be decontaminated and sold to
authorized end users, used oil will be reused as lubricant/sold to MoEF
approved recyclers, residue will be sent to CHWIF for incineration and
hydrochloric acid will be Captive use and balance will be sold to actual
end users. The unit has also provided isolated area for the storage of
hazardous waste with roof cover and impervious floor. The unit will also
maintain the records for the hazardous waste storage and disposal.
Entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled as per Hazardous
Waste (Management, Handling and Trans boundary movement)

Rules’2008.
10.5.5 Noise Control Technique
The main sources of noise within the plant are: Boiler, HAG, process
plant, machineries, transferring pumps and material handling systems.
Additional noise will be generated due to installation of new machineries
and equipments however, these impacts will be very minor and
temporary in nature. The impact on the environment during the
operational phase will be long term but, of insignificant quantity.
To minimize the noise pollution, the unit proposes the following noise
control measures:
 Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or
protective measures should be provided (wherever noise level is
more than 90 dB(A)).
 Employees should be provided with ear protection measures like
earplugs or earmuffs working in high noise area.
 The transportation contractor shall be informed to avoid
unnecessary speeding of the vehicles inside the premises.
 Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be
carried out for the machineries and equipments to reduce noise
generation.
 The selection of any new plant equipment will be made with
specification of low noise levels.
 Areas with high noise levels will be identified and segregated
where possible and will include prominently displayed caution
boards.
 The green belt area will be developed within industrial premises
and around the periphery to prevent the noise pollution in
surrounding area.
Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of
maintenance schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise
protection measures. A good quality digital sound pressure level meter
is essential for this purpose.
10.5.6 Green Belt Development

Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the
air pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics improvement
of the area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere.
Plantation around the pollution sources control the air pollution by
filtering the air particulate and interacting with gaseous pollutant before
it reaches the ground.
Each plant shows different air pollution tolerance level depending upon
number of factors. In green belt area about 1000 trees per acre of land
as prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board shall be planted. The
selection of tree species suitable for plantation at the industry shall be
governed by following factors,
 The trees should be tolerant to air pollutants present in the area
 The trees should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the area, be
evergreen, inhabitant and having minimum of leaf fall.
 The trees should be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with
large and spreading canopy in primary and secondary attenuation
zone.
 It is also recommended to plant few trees, which are sensitive to
air pollution as air pollution indicator.
The unit proposes to develop the green belt on 13332 m2 area.
10.6 RESOURCE CONSERVATION/WASTE MINIMIZATION
The unit shall also implement the concept of waste minimization
including recovery and use of by-products. Good Housekeeping or
proper housekeeping practice makes the system easier and less costly.
Some of these are as follows:
 Solid wastes e.g. powders, spills, etc. in process, and packaging
are to be separately collected and disposed off instead of allowing
these to effluent streams. This will reduce load and increase the
efficiency of treatment system.
 Liquid wastes from various sections should be collected and treat
with effluents.
 Rain water harvesting system shall be adopted to reduce the fresh
water requirement.
 Cleaner production technology shall be adopted for the resource

conservation and pollution control.
10.7 HEALTH & SAFETY
M/s. Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd. will follow occupational health
program right from the start of production. Health hazards associated
with occupation are called occupational hazards. The following check-
ups shall be carried out regularly to avoid occupational hazards:
 Pre-employment medical check-up at the time of employment.
 Provision of periodic medical check up for all the employees.
 To provide necessary first aid facilities, the first aid training shall
also be given to the employees.
 Monitoring of occupational hazards like noise, ventilation, chemical
exposure shall be carried out at frequent intervals.
 The unit will appoint the medical officer for the regular medical
examination and treatment of the employee.
 Our unit is an active member of Industries Association, where the
state of art facilities for training for Occupational risk and safety
are provided to the members of the unit. It has also provided
health care centre with required infrastructures.
The following precautions shall be taken to avoid foreseeable accident
like spillage, fire and explosion hazards and to minimize the effect of any
such accident and to combat the emergency at site level in case of
emergency.
 Various emergency spots in plant area will be identified and kept
in sharp and alert watch.
 Use of protective equipments will be regularly checked and will be
kept easily accessible and easily workable during emergency.
 Safety installations like available quantity of running water will be
regularly watched.
 Fire bucket and hose reels will be provided to withstand the fire or
explosion conditions.
 Various types of fire extinguishers such as (Foam type, water
type, CO2 type) will be providing inside the factory premises.
 Every pressure vessel will be provided with minimum one or more

pressure relief devices. The design of the valve is made in such a
way that the breakage of any part will not obstruct force discharge
of the liquid under pressure. Moreover, relief valves are tested
and a periodic schedule for their testing shall be maintained. The
defective valves will be removed if found unsafe for the operation.
10.7.1 Possibility of occupational health hazard & its control
An occupational hazard is a thing or situation with the potential to harm

workers. Occupational hazards can be divided into two categories:
safety hazards that cause accidents that physically injure workers, and
health hazards which result in the development of disease. Hazards can
be rated according to the severity of the harm they cause - a significant
hazard being one with the potential to cause a critical injury or death.
In case of Agrow allied, different types of solvents will be used which
can enter in the human body by way of inhalation of vapour or spray
and skin absorption-these are the commonest method of entry. Skin
absorption usually arises from direct contact of the liquid solvent with
the hands and arms of workers who are cleaning objects manually or
handling objects recently dipped in or coated with solvents.
10.7.2 Preventive Measures
The methods of protecting the work force from exposure to toxic agents
in the workplace apply to the use of solvents:-
 Segregation of processes using solvents;
 Enclosures or special ventilator control of processes;
 Good general ventilation - particularly important if the solvent is
used in a confined space;
 Personal protection - Protective clothing should be worn, including
gloves, where there is a possibility of absorption through the skin.
Suitable respiratory protection is necessary like Panorama gas
mask with cartridge suitable for the chemicals we will be handling,
Breathing air apparatus and Air Hood with instrument air
connection.
10.8 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

Some of the philosophies underlining the occupational health
programme are discussed below:
M/s. Agrow Allied Ventures Pvt. Ltd. will employ well qualified and
experienced safety Manager and make arrangement for part time doctor
for regular checking of health of the employees. Also, plans to become
member of any local hospital for emergency need. Annual health check
for employees will be carried out and record will be maintained. Regular
training to plant personnel in safety fire fighting and first aid will be
provided.
Unit will maintain a healthy work environment. This will be accomplished
through the identification, evaluation and control of workplace
environmental factors which may cause sickness, impaired health or
significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers. Environmental
factors such as noise, physical hazards toxicity/ chemical hazard and
ergonomic hazards will be monitored on a periodic basis to assist in
maintaining a healthy work environment. Workers exposed to noise and
toxic materials will be evaluated against applicable recognised exposure
levels in the Factories Act. Hearing protection aid will be provided to
workers who work in the high noise areas, during construction of the
proposed facilities and also to those who will continue through the life of
the facility.
10.8.1 Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety

The information on the hazards of the materials to be used will be
provided to the workers for the proposed project of Agrow allied, a
hazardous chemical directory is being developed to maintain information
on the hazards associated with each chemical used. Copies of Material
Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous materials at the proposed facility
will be kept at the unit and will be available for employee review.
Specific programs and procedures for the control of health hazards
associated with potentially harmful materials such as Acids, Alkali and
volatile chemicals etc. will follow the guiding principles established for
Occupational Health. The hazard communication program will serve as
the basis for selection of personal protective equipment such as gloves,

goggles, face shields, etc. A selected group of employees at the
proposed facility will receive first aid training to provide an immediate
response and medical care for injuries.
10.8.2 List of chemicals, their threshold limit and measures

Namely Chlorine, Sulphuric Acid, Phenol, Ethyl Alcohol, Pyridine & NaCN
chemicals are directly or indirectly exposed in work area. Details of
hazardous chemicals characteristics are summarized in chapter-7 of RA
report.
Unit will handle above chemicals with proper handling process
suggested in MSDS. Estimated work area quality with TLV limit
prescribed/standardized by OSHA is summarized in table no. 2.10 of
chapter-2.
Measures:
Entire materials will be transfer either pneumatically or closed manner
and charging the raw materials in reactor with deep charges so that
chances of un-reacted materials are minimized.
10.8.3 Methods how workers are for exposed to chemicals during

pre-placement and periodical medical monitoring
 Medical evaluation immediately before deployment is optimal.
 Workers who will be performing their usual work and are currently in
work-related medical screening programs may not require an
immediate pre-exposure medical evaluation. However, the evaluation
may have additional benefits, and attempts should be made, prior to
or as soon after the deployment date as practicable, to assess for
changes in health status that may have occurred in these individuals
since their last screening.
 For those already deployed and not in any existing work-related
medical screening program, the evaluation should be done as soon as
practicable.
 Further evaluation may be necessary during deployment - for
example, depending on results obtained during initial evaluation or if
unanticipated hazards are identified during response operations.
10.9 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ACTIVITIES:

Socio economy development activities will be a part of CSR activities to
be carried by the unit. We proposed following activities to be carried out
as a part of socio-economic development to considering local social
need.
Agrow allied addresses variety of social concerns such as water
harvesting, environmental concerns, education, sanitation and other
such fundamental issues in the social change process. Agrow has
believed that besides growing their business, it is also vital to build
trustworthy and sustainable relationships with the community.
Agriculture Training
Considering surrounding social needs, we proposed to organize some
training programs with the help of nearby agriculture specialists to
develop their crops and productivities. Unit also proposed to help farmer
to organize periodical soil testing.
Medical Camp
Unit also proposed to organize periodical medical camps and eye check-
up camps etc.
Cattle camp
Unit may also donate some funds for cattle feed.
Women Development activities

impacts on various environmental components were also predicted by
using appropriate mathematical models as well as impact assessment
techniques. An appropriate environmental management plan was also
delineated to minimize the adverse impacts.
11.5 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at six AAQM locations,
to assess existing sub regional air quality status during winter season in
the month of January-13 to March-13.
Respirable dust sampler along with the analytical methods prescribed by
CPCB was used for carrying out air quality monitoring. At all these
sampling locations; PM10, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2 including HC and VOCs were
monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison with ambient air
quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control Board.
The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for

different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation,
minimum and maximum concentration and various percentile values.
Particulate Matter (PM10)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all -the
locations ranged between 58.0-73.0 g/m3 and 62.0-82.0 g/m3, which
are well within the stipulated standard of CPCB i.e. 100 g/m3.
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of arithmetic
mean at all the locations ranged between 14.3-17.1 g/m3 and 16.4-20.0
g/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated standards of 80
g/m3.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of arithmetic
mean at all the locations ranged between 16.3-20.5 g/m3 and 18.6-24.3
g/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the standards i.e. 80
g/m3, stipulated by CPCB.
11.6 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Conclusions: Ground water samples from villages meet the permissible

set by the authority (BIS). Indian Standard specification for drinking water
is given in Table 3.9.
11.7 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 49.4 to
60.0 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded near project site (60.0 dB
(A)), while the Leq values of noise levels during night time (Ln) varied
between 39.8 to 52.3 dB (A). Highest Ln value was recorded near project
site (52.3 dB (A)).
11.8 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Air Environment
Source of Air Pollution
There will be two sources of emissions from the proposed activities i.e.
Flue gas emission & process gas emission.
One flue gas stack will be attached to Boiler and Hot Air Generator and
second attached to D.G. Sets, where Coal and Diesel will be used as fuel.
The probable emitted pollutants will be SPM, SO2 and NOX. However, it will
be almost within the emission norms. Unit will proposed to install Cyclone
and Bag filter to control the PM (Particulates matter) generated from fuel
burning. Low sulphur containing coal will be used to reduce the emission
of SO2. The adequate stack height provided to boiler & Hot Air Generator
for proper dispersion will be 30.0 m.
Process stacks/vents:
There will be one process stack in the proposed unit, two stage water; one
stage alkali scrubber will be used to capture pollutants from the gas
streams emitted from each process plant. Probable emitted pollutant will
be HCl, Cl2.
Air Quality Modelling and Predictions
It is predicted that, the maximum contribution in GLCs, with units
operating at full capacity, is 0.323 g/m3, 0.179 g/m3, 0.095 g/m3,
0.016 g/m3 and 0.011 g/m3 for PM, SO2, NOx, HCl and Cl2 respectively
1 km away from project site (Source) in W direction.
With this marginal contribution due to the project, the levels of SPM, SO 2,
NOx, HCl & Cl2 will be below the 24–hourly ambient air quality standards
for SO2 & NOx (80 g/m3), PM (100 g/m3) and HCl & Cl2 (norms not
prescribed by CPCB) prescribed by CPCB.
Water Environment
The total fresh water requirement for the proposed project is 25.5 KLD.
This requirement is being met from Keshvana Industrial Area, Kothputli or
Own bore well after obtaining necessary permission from concern
authorities. Water consumption is primarily for process, washing (Floor
and equipments), utilities, scrubber, domestic purpose and gardening
purpose.
Source of Effluent generation will be from process, utilities, equipment &
floor washing, scrubber. Wastewater generation from the proposed
activities will be 15.45 KLD, which will be sent to ETP; then passed
through RO after primary treatment and detoxification treatment. RO
Reject will be evaporated in evaporator and Condensate from the
evaporator & permeate from RO will be reused for gardening purpose
within premises. Domestic wastewater i.e. 6.0 KLD will be generated
which will be disposed to soak pit through septic tank. Thus, there will not
be any major impact on the water environment due to proposed project.
Solid Waste Management

The entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as
per Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans boundary
Movement) Rules’2008 (amended time to time). There will be five sources
of hazardous waste generation.
ETP waste will be send to TSDF site for land filling. Used oil will be reuse
for internal lubrication purpose and in case of excess, sell to registered re-
processors; Drums & bags will be sold to registered recyclers. Residue will
be sent for incineration at CHWIF approved by concern State Pollution
Control Board. Hydrochloric acid will be captive use and balance will be
sold to actual users.
The unit will provide isolated area for the storage of hazardous waste.
Thus, hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will be
adequate and there will not be any major impact on the environment due
to hazardous waste management.
Green Belt Development
The unit will do extensive plantation in 13332 sqm areas out of total
40400 sqm. So greenbelt will be in 33% of total area.
11.9 ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAM

The details of monitoring are as below:
Nature of Analysis Frequency of Analysis Number of Sample
Stack monitoring of Monthly At all stacks
each stack
Wastewater analysis Monthly 1 sample

11.13 CONCLUSION
Based on the study
 There will be no major impact on water environment as there is no
industrial wastewater discharge. Entire quantity of wastewater will
be sent to ETP and finally evaporated in evaporator after primary
treatment and detoxification treatment. Domestic effluent will be
disposed through soak pit.
 The air pollution potential of the project will be mitigated by
providing Cyclone and Bag filter to flue gas stack and two stage
water, one stage Alkali scrubber to process stack.
 To prevent Fugitive emission various step will taken like regular
sprinkling of water and pucca road.
 Adequate arrangement for handling and disposal of Hazardous solid
waste will be made.
 Fire protection and safety measures will be provided to take care of

fire and explosion hazard.
 Suggestions of qualitative risk analysis study will be followed to
minimize accidents and for safe operations.
 Recommendations suggested in Environmental Management Plan
will be followed to minimize the impact of proposed project.
