ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT SUMMARY
Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5): Maximum concentration of PM10 was recorded at AAQ5 - BF
Block (184.5 μg/m3) while the minimum concentration was recorded in AAQ2 - Thakdari (103.1
μg/m3). PM2.5 ranges between 55.3 μg/m3 in AAQ2 to 71.7 μg/m3 in AAQ5. The values recorded for
both the parameters were higher than stipulated standard except PM2.5 value at Thakdari.
The higher concentration of PM10 & PM2.5 in AAQ4 may be attributed to its proximity to major roads
and high vehicular movement.
Sulphur Dioxide (SOx) & Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx):. The SOx concentration ranges from 12.8 μg/m3
in AAQ2 to 16.8 μg/m3 at AAQ5. The anthropogenic sources for SO2 emissions are high vehicular
movement.
Concentration of NOx also follows similar trend with the highest being recorded in AAQ5 (41.8
μg/m3) and lowest at AAQ2 (27.7 μg/m3). The values, however, are well within the NAAQ standard.
Carbon Monoxide (CO): Anthropogenic emissions of carbon monoxide originate mainly from
incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials like coal, oil, etc. Also the largest proportions of
these emissions are produced as exhausts of internal combustion engines, especially by motor
vehicles. The minimum value 0.95 mg/m3 of CO was observed in AB Block and Krishna Nagar
while the maximum value, 1.25 mg/m3 was observed at BF Block. The values observed were well
below the NAAQ standard of 2 mg/m3 for 8 hourly sampling.
Noise Level
The noise quality has been monitored for 7 sites in and around the project site. The major source of
the noise level fluctuation in daytime and night time was observed majorly due to the vehicular
movement. The maximum noise level in daytime observed was 62.6 dB(A) near project site and
minimum noise level observed was 53.9 dB(A) at Krishna nagar. The maximum noise level in night
time observed was 51.5 dB(A) near Project Site while minimum noise level was 42.7 dB(A) at
Krishna Nagar.

components due operation of the project were predicted.

Impacts & Mitigation Measures during Operation phase:


Air Quality: During the operation phase of the project, the major impact will be from DG set. The
air pollutants of concern from the DG Sets emissions are Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), un-burnt Carbon
(CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NO2) as per CPCB guidelines.

Mitigation Measures:
 DG set stack height will be as per CPCB guidelines.
 Low Sulphur Diesel will be used for DG Sets.
 DG sets will be operated during Power failure.
 Stack monitoring facility will be provided to all the stacks for regular monitoring.

PROJECT PROPONENT ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT PAGE


DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED GREENCINDIA CONSULTING PRIVATE LIMITED ES -4
DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED EXECUTIVE
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT SUMMARY
Land-Use: The land parcel where the project is developed is allotted for commercial development
by West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited. Land-use of the project
site is as per the master plan. Moreover, the site had no trees which required tree felling. The site was
a vacant land and did not require shifting of any utilities or infrastructure.
Water Quality: During operation phase, the fresh water required shall be supplied by New Town
Kolkata Development Authority and hence impact on ground water is not anticipated.
Run-off from DG set fuel storage area and storage area of used DG set oil can either leach into
ground water or can contaminate storm water run-off which can pollute nearby water sources.

Mitigation Measures:
 Proper oil & grease interceptors will be installed at wastewater outlet.
 STP would be installed on the project site. The wastewater will be treated in the proposed STP
using MBBR technology.
 Rainwater harvesting shall be carried out in pit size of 350m3 to reuse or recharge ground
water.

Noise Quality: The major sources of noise during the operational phase are:
 DG sets, compressor
 Vehicular traffic
The sound pressure level generated decreases with increase in distance from the source due to wave
divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from the source is expected,
due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path. During the
operational stage, DG sets, cooling towers, pumps and vehicles are the major source of noise
pollution.
The DG sets will be used during power failure for controlling emergency operations. The project
proponent will use silent DG sets, with built in acoustic enclosure.

Mitigation Measures:

 Periodic monitoring of ambient noise level will be done as per CPCB guidelines.

 Proper maintenance of all equipment’s/machines will be carried out which will help in
reducing noise during operations.

 Additional plantation will be taken up along the periphery of the project. The plantation will
not only minimize propagation of noise but will also arrest dust.

 Ear plugs will be provided to personnel working in high noise generating zones.

 DG set shall be provided with acoustic enclosures and anti-vibrating pads.

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT SUMMARY

Solid Waste: The total solid waste generation during operation phase will be 105 kg per day. The
solid waste will comprise of biodegradable waste e.g. domestic waste, food waste, horticultural
waste etc. and recyclable waste, like plastic, paper, tin, glass etc.
Different coloured bins will be used for collection of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste as
per MSW Rules, 2016. Also, the local vendors will be hired to provide separate coloured bins for dry
recyclables and Bio-Degradable waste. Litter bin will also be provided in open areas.

The biodegradable portion of MSW will be treated at site by an Organic Waste Converter and
manure generated will be used for plantation.

The non-biodegradable fraction like plastic, tin, glass etc. will be sold to local recyclers.
Horticultural waste shall be collected and disposed-off with biodegradable waste. Rest inert MSW
will be handed over to Municipal Corporation for final disposal. Used oil generated from DG sets
will be stored in HDPE drums and sold to authorized vendors.

Ecological Management: There is no National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries within the study area.
The project site have 4149m2 i.e. 20.50% of total plot area as plantation area. In addition 2225.85 m2
(11%) of green area will be developed and maintained.
Around 2701 plants are already planted within project site and additional plantation will be carried
out to increase the greenbelt coverage within the project site.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
Selection of Alternative Project Site
As the construction of the project has already completed, it was not possible to analyse any
alternative site for the project. The project site, however, seems to be suitable from the following
point of view:
 There are no national parks/wildlife sanctuaries within 10 km radius of the project site.
 The site is not a forest land or is not occupied by any water body.
 Easy access due to presence of major roads nearby.
Selection of Sewage Treatment Technology
Many technological alternatives for wastewater treatment are available, ranging from advanced
technologies to conventional treatment options. Many factors, such as capital costs, operation and
maintenance costs and land requirement, are involved in the decision-making process. After detailed
evaluation, MBBR technology has been selected for proposed STP plant. The technology offers
various advantages, which are mentioned below:
 It provides primary, secondary and tertiary treatment all in one unit; in a single evergreen
facility open to atmosphere;

Sewage Treatment Plant
The proposed STP of 40 KL will be based on MBBR technology.

MBBR technology
MBBR treatment system is based on the aeration system in which the screened raw sewage is
allowed to develop the required bacterial growth in a reactor/ Aeration tank. The tank is filled with
specially developed propriety high quality plastic media which is in the form of corrugated sheets
and configured as per BOD load to be treated as per manufacturer’s recommendation. The plastic
media which has been specially developed by the industry for such applications offers a large surface
area as compared to conventional surface aerator or diffused aeration system. The media with
provides large surfaces areas, provides efficiency in the treatment process and enable large bacterial
flocks developed in the aeration to stick to the media and assist rapid aeration of the entire mess of
liquid. Retention of the flocks (Sludge) by the media reduces the sludge volume. The volume of
sludge developed in the process is in low and reduces pumping and handling problems. The mixed
liquor then separates the sludge and the effluent in a separate a gravity settling tank. Although the
quantity of sludge is less in volume it to be disposed-off in a neat and hygienic manner and disposed-
off in a designated location.
 Raw sewage from main sewer line will be collected through pipes via gravity into the screen
chamber. This manually cleaned screen will be provided to remove floating and big size
particles which may otherwise choke the pumps and pipe lines.

EIA REPORT PROJECT DESCRIPTION
 After screening, the waste water will be allowed to pass through another screen to remove the
grit material. The screens and grease trap shall be accessible so that they may be manually
cleaned from time to time.
 The screened and waste water should then pass into the equalization tank to homogenize the
waste water quality and also even out flow fluctuations and feed waste water of uniform quality
at constant rate to subsequent treatment units. Air mixing should be provided to mix the contents
of the equalization tank. A coarse bubble aeration grid shall be provided to mix the contents of
the equalization tank and also to avoid septic conditions in the tank.
 From the equalization tank the wastewater will be pumped into anoxic Tank. By-pass line shall
be provided from the pumping system which shall only be provisional for disposal of sewage to
mobile sewage tanker for emergency purposes.
 From the anoxic tank the wastewater will be overflowed into MBBR Tank.
 The MBBR process uses small plastic carrier elements to provide growth sites for bacteria
attachment in a suspended growth medium. The carrier elements shall allow a higher biomass
concentration to be maintained in the reactor. This shall increase the biological treatment
capacity for the given reactor volume.
 The carrier elements shall be continuously kept in suspension by the aeration system. The
agitation pattern in the reactor shall be designed to provide an upward movement of the carriers
across the surface of the retention screen which creates a scrubbing effect to prevent clogging.
Combination of fine & coarse bubbles may be provided to provide oxygen as per detailing.
 From the MBBR tank mixed liquor shall flow by gravity into the secondary settling tank. The
solids will settle in the tank. The sludge that settles down shall be transferred to sludge holding
tank via sludge loading pumps, with provision of sludge return to the bioreactor if necessary.
 From the settling tank, treated wastewater will flow into chlorine contact tank. In this tank,
chlorine will be added in the form of calcium or sodium hypochlorite solution by a suitable
chlorinator/Dosing system.
 Treated water after chlorine contact tank shall be clear, odourless, low BOD, low suspended
solids, which shall be of quality which is acceptable as per standards prescribed by
CPCB/Environmental norms.
 The treated water from chlorine contact tank is fed by means of filter/softener feed pump sets to
pass through dual media filters, activated carbon filters and softeners and stored in the treated
water and soft water storage tanks. The activated carbon filters shall ensure removal of all
coloration and odours present in the treated effluent. The soft water shall be of Zero Commercial
Hardness. Backwash of Filters and regeneration of softeners shall be done intermittently as per
requirements.
 The filtered, clean and odorless water from treated water tank is then fed through a variable
frequency drive hydro-pneumatic system to the external treated effluent rings as per the site

flushing water as per detailing.
 The softened, clean and odourless water from soft water tank is then fed to HVAC Plant Room
by a separate variable frequency drive hydro-pneumatic system.
 According to the guide lines of Ministry of Environment and Forest the UV system will be
provided on the discharge point of treated effluent supply lines to ensure 100% pathogen free
treated water for recycling and re-use. The UV system shall be provided as online installation on
the treated water supply line being supplied to the external distribution ring.
 Excess sludge from the secondary settling tank will be taken periodically into sludge holding
tank. In this tank sludge will be aerated for self-stabilization. Air will be shut off periodically
and superannuate water will be transferred to the aeration tank creating stabilized sludge. The
final sludge shall be de-watered through a centrifuge mechanism. Sludge loading arrangements

3.2 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY


In order to predict anticipated environment impact of any project, it is necessary to obtain
information of the existing conditions. The assessment of baseline environment and the anticipated
impacts are the basis for preparation of the environmental management plan.
For baseline data collection, an area covering 10 km radius from the project site boundary has been
considered as the Study Area. The map of the study area is given as Figure 3.1. Baseline data for
environmental attributes like ambient air, meteorology, water, hydrology, land use, soil, geology,
noise, socio-economic, ecology and biodiversity data etc. was collected. The study was conducted
during the pre -monsoon season i.e. from March to May, 2018.
The information presented in the chapter has been collected from primary field studies, desk research
and secondary sources. The present chapter highlights various aspects of baseline data on
environmental significant parameters and its analysis in the light of the proposed construction
activity.

3.3 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR STUDY


Baseline data of environmental attributes like ambient air, water, soil, meteorology, noise, ecology,
socio-economic condition are collected as per the standard and specific Terms of Reference
stipulated by MoEF&CC. The primary data are collected from site monitoring. In case primary data

3.5.2 Seismicity

The project site falls under Zone III of the


seismic zonation map of India signifying
moderate damage risk zones (Figure 3.5)

Figure 3.5: Earthquake Hazard Map of West Bengal

3.6 GEOLOGY
The district is a part of lower Gangetic Basin and is underlain by huge thickness of Quaternary
Alluvium, laid down by the Southerly flowing Bhagirathi River and its tributaries. The major area of
the district occupied by recent Alluvium consists of grey sand, silt and grey (semiplastic) clay. Older
alluvium occurs beneath recent alluvium comprise grey to brown sand fine to coarse grained, gravel,
clay (grey to yellow) with kankar and ferruginous concretions. In northern and central part of the
district top surface clay is occurring down to 5 to 12 mbgl, whereas in Southern and south-eastern
parts of the district average thickness of top clay layer in the range of 25 mbgl.

3.7 HYDROGEOLOGY
Groundwater occurs in a thick zone of saturation in the alluvium deposited by the river system. The
sand and gravel horizons of different textures constitute main aquifers.
Groundwater in the northern and central part of the district occur under water table conditions.

3.9.1 Observation and Interpretation
Physical Parameters

 Moisture Content: Soil moisture is important for hydrological, biological and bio-geochemical
processes. Moisture content of soil samples in the study area ranges from 3.35% (S2: Near CF
Block to 4.81% (S1: Project Site)

 Texture: Soil texture describes the size (diameter) of the soil particles. Where larger mineral
particles predominate, the soil is gravelly (d > 2mm), or sandy (0.05 < d < 2); where smaller,
colloidal mineral particles are dominant, the soil is clayey (d < 0.002). Texture influences plant
growth by its direct effect on soil aeration, water infiltration, cation exchange capacity, and
erodibility. The study area was found to have mostly clayey loam texture.

 Infiltration rate: Infiltration rate is dependent on soil texture (percentage of sand, silt and clay)
and clay mineralogy. Water moves more quickly through the large pore spaces in a sandy soil
than it does through the small pores of a clayey soil, especially if the clay is compacted and has
little or no structure or aggregation. Soil organic matter affects infiltration through its positive
effect on the development of stable soil aggregates, or crumbs. Highly aggregated soil increase
pore space and infiltration. Infiltration rate in the study area ranges from 1.24 cm/hr (S1: Near
project site) to 1.38 cm/hr (S1: Near AF Block).

 Bulk Density: Bulk density is required for gaseous exchange; so that high bulk density would
pose restriction to the growth of deep rooted plants. Bulk Density of soil was found to be in the
range from 1.23 gm/cm3 (S2: Near AF Block) to 1.19 gm/cm3 (S1: project site).

 Porosity: Soil porosity attributes to the fragmentation and aggregation of the soil particles due
to vegetation development. The total pore volume of the study area varied from 21.89% (S4:
Near Mumbai-Agra Highway) to 1.50% (S3: Near AB Block).

Chemical Parameters
 pH: The pH of the soil samples vary from 7.1 (S3: Near AB Block) to 7.3 (S2: Near CF Block)
indicating slightly alkaline nature of soil.

 Electrical Conductivity: The electrical conductivity of soil is actually a measure of salinity.


Excessively high salinity can affect plants in many ways: Specific toxicity of a particular ion
(such as sodium), higher osmotic pressure around the roots prevents an efficient water
absorption by the plant. Some plants are more susceptible to the electrical conductivity than
others and each species has an electrical conductivity threshold, beyond which yield is
decreased. The electrical conductivity of the soil samples range from 310 µmhos /cm (S4: Near
AF Block) to 353 µmhos /cm (S3: Near AB Block), which as per ICAR is average to average
for growth of vegetation.

PROJECT PROPONENT ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT PAGE


DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED GREENCINDIA CONSULTING PRIVATE LIMITED 3-9
DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER – 3
 Organic Carbon: The organic carbon in the soil samples vary between 1.34% (S2: Near CF
Block) to 1.50% (S3: Near Project Site) indicating more than sufficient content for growth of
plants as per ICAR.

 Nitrogen: The available nitrogen in the soil samples range between 257.0 kg/ha (S4: Near AF
block) to 284 kg/ha (S1: Near Project Site) which as per ICAR is good to better content for
growth of vegetation.

 Phosphorus: Phosphorus is the key content which plays an important role in the
photosynthesis, respiration, energy storage and transfer, cell division, cell enlargement and
several other properties in the living plant. Available Phosphorus in the study area range
between 51.7 kg/ha (S4: Near AF Block) to 57.1 kg/ha (S1: Project site), which as per ICAR
categorization falls in the range of ‘more than sufficient’.

 Potassium: Potassium is associated with movement of water, nutrients, and carbohydrates in


plant tissue. If potassium is deficient or not supplied in adequate amounts, growth is stunted
and yields are reduced. Potassium content in the study area varies from 321.0 kg/ha (S2: Near
CF Block) to 341 kg/ha (S2: Near AF Block) which is better for the growth of plant as per
ICAR’s classification.
Overall, the NPK content was found to be good for growth of plants. Therefore, it can be concluded
that the soil quality in terms of fertility is good for growth of vegetation.

3.10.2 Hydrogeology
Groundwater occurs in a thick zone of saturation in the alluvium deposited by the river system. The
sand and gravel horizons of different textures constitute main aquifers.

Groundwater in the northern and central part of the district occur under water table conditions.
However, in isolated patches in Barrackpore, Amdanga, Hadra – II and Rajarhat blocks, the top clay
and sandy clay locally thick (20-30 mt) imparting semi-confined nature to the ground waterbody.
Depth to water level in unconfined aquifers during pre-monsoon period (2006) varies from 2.00 to
13.60 mbgl whereas that to post-monsoon it is from 1.64 to 10.66 mbgl. Piezometric head in
confined aquifer during pre - monsoon period (2006) varies from 3.47 mbgl to 6.25 mbgl whereas as
that to post-monsoon period (2006) varies from 1.91 mbgl to 5.89 mbgl.

The samples for surface water quality were taken from major surface water bodies and underground
water samples were taken from hand-pumps near settlements for assessing the ground water quality.
Surface and ground water sampling was carried out at 3 locations each to get an idea about the water
quality of the study area. The water quality sampling locations are shown in Figure 3.10.
Methodology of Sampling & Analysis: Analyses of the samples were carried out as per established
standard methods and procedures prescribed by CPCB, IS 3025 Codes and APHA 22nd edition,
2012.
Samples for chemical analysis were collected in polyethylene carboys. Samples collected for metal
content were acidified with 1 ml HNO3. Physicochemical parameters like pH and conductivity were
measured on site using potable meter while for chemical (dissolved oxygen) and biochemical (BOD)
parameters water samples were fixed in 300 ml BOD bottles using MnSO4 and alkaline iodide in
field and sent to the laboratory. A separate BOD bottles with 300 ml of respective sample were sent

BDL-Below Detection Limit

 pH: This parameter generally indicates the acid or alkaline nature of any solution and usually
does not bear any direct impact on consumers. The pH value ranged from 7.5 to 7.9 in the
collected water samples which do not exceed the recommended limit (6.5 - 8.5) of BIS. The

PROJECT PROPONENT ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT PAGE

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER – 3
water samples were alkaline. The reason for such conditions may be due to different types of
buffers that may be present in the groundwater and presence of weak basic salt in the soil.
 Electrical Conductivity: Conductivity is the ability of water to carry an electrical current. This
ability mainly depends on presence of anion and cations in water and also depends on mobility,
valence of ions and temperature. High electrical conductivity affects the germination of crops and
it may result in much reduced yield. Higher the ionizable solids, greater will be the EC. In the
study area, electrical conductivity ranged between 859 μs/cm (GW1: Project site) to 981 μs/cm
(GW3: Mohishgot).
 Turbidity: The turbidity denotes the impurity of the water. Turbid nature of the water may be
attributed due to colloidal and extremely fine dispersion of sediments, micro-organisms and
organic matter. The turbidity in all the water samples was found above the acceptable limit.
 Total Hardness: The total hardness is an important parameter of water quality. Hard water
makes it difficult for domestic water users to form lather when washing. Hardness is defined as
the concentration of calcium and magnesium in water expressed as the equivalent of calcium
carbonate (CaCO3). The maximum total hardness in groundwater found to be 265.9 mg/l in
sample at GW3 (Mohishgot) and the minimum was observed as 212.2 mg/l in the sample at GW1
(Project Site).
 Calcium: The minimum level of calcium was found in Project Site (42.0 mg/l) and the maximum
value occurred in Mohishgot (50.5 mg/l). It was found that the entire samples were within the
acceptable limits recommended by BIS (75 mg/l).
 Sodium: Sodium plays an important role in nutrition and contributes to electrolytes regulated by
the kidneys, maintains water balance in the body, and affects muscle contraction and the
production of adrenaline and amino acids. However, high concentrations of sodium can disrupt
cell or blood chemistry. The excessive consumption of sodium may significantly cause many
diseases, especially hypertension. Sodium is also toxic to plants in high concentrations. Sodium
concentrations above 70 mg/l are problematic for irrigation if water is absorbed by leaves.
Sodium concentration in groundwater samples was observed in the range of 57 mg/l (Project
Site) to 68 mg/l (Mohishgot). The sodium content in the study area indicates that the water is not
very suitable for irrigation purpose.

 Alkalinity: Alkaline nature of the samples is generally attributed to the presence of carbonates
and bi-carbonates. Though alkalinity is not harmful to human health, its presence in the water
imparts an unpleasant taste. Alkalinity of water is due to presence of bicarbonate, carbonate and
strong bases. The alkalinity recorded in all ground water samples was exceeding the acceptable
limit (200 mg/l) but was within permissible limit of BIS (600 mg/l).

 TDS: The TDS concentration recorded from the ground water samples ranged from 524 mg/l to
610 mg/l. All the samples are within the maximum permissible limit of 2000 mg/l prescribed by

PROJECT PROPONENT ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT PAGE

DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER – 3
BIS for drinking water. TDS in ground water mainly gains its entry from agricultural activities,
industrial activities, geological formation, domestic water contamination etc.

 Chloride: The chloride concentration recorded from the ground water samples ranged from 53.7
mg/l (Project site) to 81.0 mg/l (Mohishgot). All the samples are within the Acceptable Limit of
250 mg/l prescribed by BIS for drinking water.

 Sulphate: Sulphate is a naturally occurring element found in groundwater. Sulphate


concentration was found in the range of 22 mg/l (Project site) to 39 mg/l (Mohishgot). The BIS
acceptable limit for sulphate in drinking water is 200 mg/l.

From the observation, it seems that ground water of the study area is suitable for drinking purpose
after conventional treatment.

3.11 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITION


Meteorology is the key to understand the air quality. The essential relationship between
meteorological condition and atmospheric dispersion involves the wind in the broadest sense. Other
factors such as variation in temperature, humidity etc. also plays a direct role in dispersion and
dilution of pollutants. Wind fluctuations over a very wide range of time, accomplish dispersion and
strongly influence other processes associated with them. This section makes a comparative analysis
of the meteorological data of the study area collected by project team in 2018. The additional data
used for the purpose are the 30 years’ average IMD data from 1971 to 2000 taken from
Meteorological Station, Dum Dum (Kolkata, West Bengal)

3.11.1 Secondary Data as per IMD Dum Dum (Kolkata, West Bengal)
North 24 Parganas is a deltaic district of West Bengal. The climate is tropical, like the rest of the
Gangetic West Bengal. It is also characterised by the Monsoon, which lasts from early June to mid-
September. Three distinct seasons are observed: summer, monsoon and winter. The weather remains
dry during the winter (mid November to mid-February) and humid during summer
The summary of the 30 years’ meteorological data of Dum Dum IMD Station from 1970-2000 is

The Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) Dum Dum is located about 8 km away from site. As
such, some mismatches from site data are expected. Moreover, IMD records the data at two times a
day, at 0830 hours and at 1730 hours while the site specific data has been recorded at an hourly
interval. On comparison, the following observations are brought out:

 The temperature recorded on site when compared with the IMD Dum Dum data, variation was
found. The average maximum and minimum temperature recorded at site during March to May
were 400C and 200C respectively, whereas the average maximum temperature recorded at IMD
Dum Dum for the same season were 34.70C.

 The average relative humidity (maximum and minimum) was observed in the range of 69% to
36% during the study period whereas according to IMD Dum Dum, the average relative
humidity (0830 hrs and 1730 hrs) is in the range of 82.3% to 57.7%. This variation could be
because of the fact that the values considered for the site are actual values while the range of
IMD data represents the average values of 30 years.

 The average wind speed recorded was 2.8 m/s. Wind rose diagram (Figure 3.15) from the
monitored data shows that the predominant wind direction during the study period was mainly
from North-West and South-East.

3.12 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The prime objective of the baseline air quality study was to establish the existing ambient air quality
of the study area, which will also help to assess the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality
during the operation of project. This section describes the identification of sampling locations,
methodology adopted during the monitoring period and sampling frequency.

3.12.1 Parameter & Frequency of Monitoring and Methodology


Ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out twice a week in each location during the study
period (March to May, 2018). The baseline data of ambient air has been generated for the following
parameters as mentioned below.

 Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5)


 Sulphur Dioxide (SOx)
 Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx)
 Carbon monoxide (CO)
The duration of sampling of fine particulate matter (PM2.5), Respirable particulate matter (PM10),
SO2 and NO2 was each twenty four hourly continuous sampling per day and CO was sampled for 8
hours continuous thrice in 24 hour duration. The monitoring was conducted for two days in a week
for one month. This is to allow a comparison with the present revised standards mentioned in the
latest Gazette Notification of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) (November 2009).
It was ensured that the equipment was placed at a height of at least 3 to 4 m above the ground level at
each monitoring station, for negating the effects of wind-blown ground dust. The distance of the
sampler from any air flow obstacle i.e. buildings, walls, was more than two times the height of the
obstacle. The equipment was placed at open space free from trees and vegetation which otherwise act
as a sink of pollutants resulting in lower levels in monitoring results. Monitoring has been carried out
as per the latest CPCB and MoEF&CC guidelines and notifications.
The monitoring locations have been selected keeping in mind the seasonal as well as the annual wind
direction pattern of the study area, accessibility, topography, safety and presence of inhabited
localities. The details of the monitoring locations are depicted in the Table 3.15 and Figure 3.16.

3.12.2 Instruments used for Sampling and Analytical Techniques
With a view to collecting the samples, Envirotech Make Calibrated Respirable Dust Samplers (RDS-
APM 460 BL) along with Gaseous attachment and Fine Particulate Matter (FPS-APM 550) have
been used. The RDS is capable of drawing air at a flow rate of 0.95 to 1.3 m3/min with very little
pressure drop for RDS and FPS is designed to operate at an air flow rate of 1m 3/hr. Filter papers
(EPM 2000, Whatman & Whatman 46.2 mm dia) were used for the collection of samples to analyze
them for particulate matters and heavy metals. Samples for analyzing SO2 & NO2 were collected by
drawing air at a flow-rate of 0.5 liters per minute (lpm) through an absorbing solution for the
duration of 24 hrs. Sampling and analysis methodology adopted is given in Table 3.16.

* Annual Arithmetic Means of minimum 104 measurements in a year at a particular site taken twice a week 24 hourly at uniform
intervals,
** 24 hourly or 8 hourly or 1 hourly monitored values, as applicable shall be complied with 98% of the time in a year. 2% of the time
they may exceed the limits but not on two consecutive days of monitoring,
*** For CO, 8 hourly standard is being considered

Observation & Interpretation


Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5): Maximum concentration of PM10 was recorded at AAQ5 - BF
Block (184.5 μg/m3) while the minimum concentration was recorded in AAQ2 - Thakdari (103.1
μg/m3). PM2.5 ranges between 55.3 μg/m3 in AAQ2 to 71.7 μg/m3 in AAQ5. The values recorded for
both the parameters were higher than stipulated standard except PM2.5 value at Thakdari.
The higher concentration of PM10 & PM2.5 in AAQ4 may be attributed to its proximity to major roads
and high vehicular movement.
Sulphur Dioxide (SOx) & Nitrogen Dioxide (NOx): The values are well within the NAAQ standard
prescribed by CPCB. The anthropogenic sources for SO2 emissions are high vehicular movement.
The concentration ranges from 12.8 μg/m3 in AAQ2 to 16.8 μg/m3 at AAQ5.
Concentration of NOx also follows similar trend with the highest being recorded in AAQ5 (41.8
μg/m3) and lowest at AAQ2 (27.7 μg/m3).
The values, however, are well within the NAAQ standard.
Carbon Monoxide (CO): Anthropogenic emissions of carbon monoxide originate mainly from
incomplete combustion of carbonaceous materials like coal, oil, etc. Also the largest proportions of
these emissions are produced as exhausts of internal combustion engines, especially by motor
vehicles. The minimum value 0.95 mg/m3 of CO was observed in AB Block and Krishna Nagar
while the maximum value, 1.25 mg/m3 was observed at BF Block. The values observed were well
below the NAAQ standard of 2 mg/m3 for 8 hourly sampling.

3.13 SOUND PRESSURE LEVEL


3.13.1 Frequency & Parameters of Sampling
Sound Pressure Level (herein referred to as Noise levels) was recorded at an interval of 60 minutes
during the day and night time to compute the day equivalent, night equivalent and day-night
equivalent level. The noise level was monitored once during the study period at each monitoring

PROJECT PROPONENT ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT PAGE

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER – 3
location. The noise level is recorded in dB(A). The important parameters measured are Leq, Lday,
and Lnight.

Leq: Noise monitoring equipments provide the facility for measurement of Leq directly. However,
Leq can also be calculated using the following equation:
Leq (hourly) = L50 + (L10 - L90)2/60
Where,
L10 (Ten Percentile Exceeding Level) is level of sound, which exceeds 10% of the total time of
measurement
L90 (Ninety Percentile Exceeding Level) is level of sound, which exceeds 90% of the total time
of measurement.
Leq: This represents Leq of whole day including night. Leq is calculated as logarithmic average
using the hourly Leq for whole 24 hrs in a day.
Lday: This represents Leq of day-time. Lday is calculated as logarithmic average using the hourly
Leq’s for day time hours from 6.00 AM to 10.00 PM
Lnight: This represents Leq of night-time. Lnight is calculated as logarithmic average using the
hourly Leq’s for night-time hours from 10.00 PM to 6.00 AM
3.13.2 Instruments used for Sampling
Envirotech make automatic sound level meter (SLM100) was used for measuring the noise levels.
This instrument measures Sound Pressure Level (SPL), maximum sound pressure level (max) and
equivalent continuous noise level (Leq).

3.13.3 Sampling and Analytical Techniques


The noise level was recorded continuous for 24 hours at an interval of 1 hour. The hourly average
computed from the noise reading taken at every 5 minutes’ interval. The monitoring was carried out
once during the study period. The important parameters to be measured are Leq, Lday, and Lnight.

3.13.4 Monitoring Locations


Assessment of ambient noise levels is an important parameter in preparation of impact assessment
report. Noise levels are more annoying in the night time particularly in the residential area. The
environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from annoyance to hearing loss
depending on loudness of noise levels. The monitoring for noise levels was done in 7 locations
keeping considering the population and traffic of the area. The locations are given in Table 3.23 and
Figure 3.17.

3.13.5 Analysis of Baseline Concentration


The major source of the noise level fluctuation in daytime and night time was observed majorly due
to high vehicular movement.
Leq Day Time: The maximum noise level in daytime observed was 62.6 dB(A) near project site and
minimum noise level observed was 53.9 dB(A) at Krishna nagar.
Leq Night Time: The maximum noise level in night time observed was 51.5 dB(A) near Project Site
while minimum noise level was 42.7 dB(A) at Krishna Nagar (Figure 3.18 & 3.19). Analysis results
for of Ambient Noise level in day time and night time are represented in Table 3.24.

3.15 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT


A baseline terrestrial ecology has been established to understand the ecological condition of the
study area. The purpose of establishing the baseline is to collect comprehensive and up-to-date
ecological information relating to the study area to allow an assessment of potential impacts
associated with the operation of the project on terrestrial ecology. It is also used to propose suitable
mitigation measures, and for the development of monitoring programme where necessary. The
ecological baseline information is collected from primary survey, literature reviews and District
Census Handbook.

3.15.1 Forest Resource


Though a part of the Sundarbans Reserve Forest falls within the district of North Twenty Four
Parganas, still the forest area of the district is only 0.02% of the total land area. Only 91.98 hectares
of land falls under Reserved Forest category and only 1.72 hectares of land falls under Un-classed
State Forest category.

There are no reserve forests in the study area nor there presence of any National Park, Wildlife
Sanctuary, Biosphere Reserve, Tiger Reserve within the study area.

3.15.2 Project Site
The project site is under possession of the Proponent where the building has already been
constructed.

3.15.3 Cropping Pattern


As the district falls within the Gangetic delta, the soil of the district is very favourable for cultivation.
Shallow black and brown soils are also found. The presence of good number of rivers, creeks, khals
etc. also favours the cropping pattern of the district. The major crops grown in the district are rice
and wheat. Varieties of rice viz. Aus, Aman and Boro are grown in the district in abundant. Beside
food grains oil seeds, potato and cash crops like jute are also produced in the district.

However, agricultural land covers only 16% of the study area. The paddy fields of East Kolkata
Wetlands (which is just 1.5 km form the project site) produce 15,000 Metric Tonnes of additional
paddy per annum.

3.15.4 Floral & Faunal Composition


There are no forest patches within the study area. However, naturally grown tree patches are found to
be present. Trees commonly observed in the study area included Banyan, Gulmohar, Dhak, Khajur,
Teak, Mango, Neem etc.
The floral species observed during site visit is given in Table 3.26.

3.16.4 Vulnerable Group


While assessing social impact of any area, it is very important to identify the population who fall
under the marginalized and vulnerable groups such as Scheduled Tribes and Scheduled Castes.
Although these groups are usually small farmers or landless, their livelihood is the worst affected
and they get the worst compensation deals due to small land-holding and less properties. So, special
attention has to be given towards these groups. The statistics regarding the social profile of the
human population (distribution of SC & ST Community) in the study area are given in Table 3.31.
11% of the population in the study area is in SC category and 0.8 % is in ST category as per the
2011 Census.

3.16.5 Literacy Rate
Literacy rate is one of the most significant indicators of human and social development. This not only
reflects on the educational attainment of the population but also reflects on the status of women, caste
equation and economic condition of a particular area. It also shows the skill level of the people and
their capability to get trained and work in various sectors. The literacy rate is given in Table 3.32 to
describe the total and gender- wise literacy rate of the people in the study area.

3.16.8 Infrastructure Facilities


The socio-economic analysis of the study area shows that in terms of educational and other
developments the area is moderately developed.

3.16.8.1 Educational Facilities


Education is not only about enhancing skills or becoming employable. It is for getting equipped for a
better quality of life. For example, it has been observed from NFHS (National Family Health Survey)
that the educated females prefer going to doctors than availing traditional health services. The
women who mostly go for ante-natal check-ups (ANC’s) are the ones who are educated at least up to
Class 8. Proper education can help improve child mortality rate, maternal health, nutritional intake,
etc. of the people. The details of village-wise education facilities in the study area are described
below in Table 3.35.

3.16.8.2 Drinking Water Facilities
One of the most important factors responsible for the emergence of a settlement is availability of
water. Many water sources such as wells, hand pumps, tanks, etc. are available in rural areas. In the
villages under study, the main source of water is hand pump followed by tube well and wells. The
water from the sources is used for drinking, bathing and household purposes. The list of water
sources is given in Table 3.36. It can be seen from the table that there is increase in the number of
Taps, hand pumps from 2001 to 2011 while there has been a decline in the number of tube wells.

3.16.8.3 Health Facilities


Health is a pre-requisite for human development and is an essential component for the well-being of
mankind. The health problems of any community are influenced by interplay of various factors
including social, economic and political. The common beliefs, customs, practices related to health
and disease in turn influence the health seeking behaviour of the community.

Overall the medical facilities present in the study area seem adequate to cater the population. The
details of the health related facilities available in the study area are shown in Table 3.37.

4. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL
IMPACTS & MITIGATION
MEASURES
4.1 INTRODUCTION
The assessment of potential environmental impact consists of comparing the expected changes in the
environment due to the project. This chapter assesses the nature, type and magnitude of the potential
impacts likely on the various relevant physical, biological, social and cultural components due to
operation of the project. The environmental, biological, ecological and social impacts can be direct
as well as indirect. The direct area of influence includes the site for the project and surrounding area.
The impacts on various environmental components can occur at operation stage of the project
planning and implementation.

4.2 BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF IMPACTS


Pollutants generated during the operation phase of the development either be liquid, solid and
gaseous in nature. The generation of pollution may be periodic, continuous or accidental. The phase
wise description of impacts by the proposed project is given in Table 4.1.

4.3 IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATION MEASURES


4.3.1 Operation Phase
During the operation phase, there might be impacts on the air, water and land environment and socio-
economic aspects. The subsequent sections present the adverse, beneficial, short term and long term
impacts due to the operation of the project.

4.3.1.1 Land-Use
The land for project development was allotted by West Bengal Housing Development Corporation.
Land-use of the project site is as per the master plan. Moreover, the site had no trees which required
tree felling. The site was a vacant land and did not require shifting of any utilities or infrastructure.

4.3.1.2 Air Environment


During the operation phase of the project, the major impact will be from DG set. The air pollutants of
concern from the DG Sets emissions are Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), un-burnt Carbon (CO) and Oxides
of Nitrogen (NO2) as per CPCB guidelines.
There is provision of 2 DG sets of 650 kVA each installed within the project premises for power
back-up. Pollution load has been calculated assuming that low Sulphur content diesel will be used as
fuel. Stack height of the DG set has been considered as 30 m as minimum permissible height allowed
as per CPCB Standards. This is provided as input to a Gaussian point source Model used with hourly
meteorological conditions for dispersion modelling described hereafter. The estimated exhaust
emissions characteristics from DG sets are presented in Table 4.2.

Air Dispersion Modelling-emission from DG Sets
For obtaining short-term incremental ground level concentration (GLC) within study area, US EPA
approved AERMOD Cloud5 has been used for the project. This is an air dispersion-modelling
package, which seamlessly incorporates the popular USEPA Models, ISCST3 and AERMOD into

ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER – 4
one interface without any modifications to the models. These models are used extensively to assess
pollution concentration and deposition from a Point source.

Meteorological Data:
In order to conduct a refined air dispersion modelling project using the AERMOD short-term air
quality dispersion model, it is necessary to process the meteorological data representative of the
study area being modelled. The collected meteorological data is not always in the format supported
by the model, therefore the meteorological data needs to be pre-processed using AERMET program.

The AERMET program is a meteorological pre-processor, which prepares hourly surface data and
upper air data for use in the AERMOD air quality dispersion model. AERMET is designed to allow
future enhancements to process other types of data and to compute boundary layer parameters with
different algorithms.

AERMET processes meteorological data in three stages and from this process two files are generated
for use with the AERMOD model. A surface file of hourly boundary layer parameters estimates a
profile file of multiple-level observations of wind speed, wind direction, temperature and standard
deviation of the fluctuating wind components.

Presentation of Results:
The incremental concentrations are estimated for the study period representing summer season. The
results of present baseline values and predicted additional values of ground level concentrations for
NO2 and CO are presented in Table 4.3. The incremental concentration of SO2 and PM was too low
to be plotted.

The isopleths of predicted value of additional concentration of all parameters in microgram/m 3 are
shown as Annex 4.1 & 4.2 respectively with contribution from DG set.

Note: * indicates insignificant value

As evident from Table 4.3, NO2 is contributing maximum among the pollutants analysed although
the GLC of NO2 is well within the prescribed standard.
The model was run for the worst case scenario. The maximum resultant GLC of NO2 (49.1 µg/m3)
and CO (5.95 µg/m3) among the monitored locations has been found to occur at AAQ4 (AB Block).
The highest concentration of NO2 (12 µg/m3) & CO (5 µg/m3) also occurs in the same location (AB
Block) towards Northern direction which is the dominant downwind direction.

Dispersion Modelling-emission from Vehicles


After the project will start operation, it is expected that the traffic increase from the project will get
diverted towards both the locations where traffic volume count was surveyed (T1 and T2 as showing
Figure 3.20). The existing traffic load on the T1 and T2 as found during survey done in April, 2018
is 1780 PCU/hour and 2696 PCU/hour respectively.

It is estimated that the project is going to add another 11 PCU/hour. Considering 70% flow along T1
and remaining 30% flow along T2, an increase of 8 PCU/hour will occur in T1 and 3 PCU/hour
along T2.
A line source modelling has been carried out to study the impact on air quality around the 1 km area
of both the roads (T1 and T2). The extent of these impacts, at any given time, depends upon (i) the
rate of vehicular emission within a given stretch of the road and (ii) the prevailing meteorological
conditions. The impacts have strong temporal dependence as both of these factors vary with time.
The temporal dependence would have diurnal, seasonal as well as long term components. The
existing and the predicted traffic volumes have been considered to project future air quality scenarios
to provide an indication of variations in air quality.

The emission factors reported in this study are based on BS-IV certified diesel cars for which the
predicted ground level concentrations of Sulfur di-oxide, CO, and HC+NOx has been estimated on
24 hours basis. The model has been run on the basis of total no. of PCUs (i.e., 1788 & 2699) that will
be plying on both the roads after the project shall start operation considering wind speed of 4 km/hr
and stability class C. The predicted ground level concentration of gases is given in Table 4.4.

It is evident from the above table the impact due to vehicle movement shall remain same with almost
no increase in ground level concentration due to vehicles on either side of transporting road.

Mitigation Measures:
 DG set stack height will be as per CPCB guidelines.
 Low Sulphur Diesel will be used for DG Sets.
 DG sets will be operated during Power failure.
 Stack monitoring facility will be provided to all the stacks for regular monitoring.
4.3.1.3 NOISE
The major sources of noise during the operational phase are

 DG sets, compressor

 Vehicular traffic

The sound pressure level generated decreases with increase in distance from the source due to wave
divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from the source is expected,
due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path. During the
operational stage, DG sets, cooling towers, pumps and vehicles are the major source of noise
pollution.

The DG sets will be used during power failure for controlling emergency operations. The project
proponent will use silent DG sets, with built in acoustic enclosure.

Mitigation Measures:

 Periodic monitoring of ambient noise level will be done as per CPCB guidelines.

 Proper maintenance of all equipment’s/machines will be carried out which will help in
reducing noise during operations.

 Additional plantation will be taken up along the periphery of the project. The plantation will
not only minimize propagation of noise but will also arrest dust.

 Ear plugs will be provided to personnel working in high noise generating zones.

 DG set shall be provided with acoustic enclosures and anti-vibrating pads.

4.3.1.4 Solid Waste


The total solid waste generation during operation phase will be 105 kg per day. The solid waste will
comprise of biodegradable waste e.g. domestic waste, food waste, horticultural waste etc. and
recyclable waste, like plastic, paper, tin, glass etc.

Different coloured bins will be used for collection of biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste as
per MSW Rules, 2016. Also, the local vendors will be hired to provide separate coloured bins for dry
recyclables and Bio-Degradable waste. Litter bin will also be provided in open areas.
The biodegradable portion of MSW will be treated at site by an Organic Waste Converter and
manure generated will be used for plantation.
The Organic waste converter is a machine used for the treatment and recycling of solid and liquid
refuse material. A converter is a self-contained system capable of performing the following
functions: pasteurization of organic waste; sterilization of pathogenic or biohazard waste; grinding
and pulverization of refuse into unrecognizable output; trash compaction; dehydration.
Because of the wide variety of functions available on converters, this technology has found
application in diverse waste-producing industrial segments.

BENEFITS OF ORGANIC WASTE CONVERTER


 Large quantity of solid waste is converted to fertilizer in a very short period
 This fertilizer can be sold as compost to farmers, or used for gardening
 Machine requires less space and the efficiency is high
 Manpower and maintenance is very less
 This is one of the latest techniques of managing solid waste.
The non-biodegradable fraction like plastic, tin, glass etc. will be sold to local recyclers.
Horticultural waste shall be collected and disposed-off with biodegradable waste. Rest inert MSW

will be handed over to Municipal Corporation for final disposal. Used oil generated from DG sets
will be stored in HDPE drums and sold to authorized vendors.

4.3.1.5 Water Quality


The total water requirement during operation phase will be 79 KLD of which 50 KLD will be fresh
water requirement while 29 KLD of treated water shall be required for flushing, Landscaping and
miscellaneous use. The fresh water required during operation shall be supplied by New Town
Kolkata Development Authority and hence impact on ground water is not anticipated.
Run-off from DG set fuel storage area and storage area of used DG set oil can either leach into
ground water or can contaminate storm water run-off which can pollute nearby water sources.
Mitigation Measures:

 Proper oil & grease interceptors will be installed at wastewater outlet.

 STP would be installed on the project site. The wastewater will be treated in the proposed STP
of 40 KLD using MBBR technology.

 Rainwater harvesting shall be carried out to recharge ground water.

Rainwater Harvesting Details:


Rainwater harvesting is a mechanism involving collection, storing and making use of rainwater when
it is most needed. A rainwater harvesting system comprises of various stages - transporting rainwater
through pipes or drains, filtration, and storage in tanks for reuse or recharging the ground water.
The project site have developed Rainwater harvesting pit of size 350 m 3, which will collect 3 days of
peak rainfall. Approximately 129.88m3 per day of water will be stored during peak rainy month. The
factors considered for RWH tank designing is given in Table 4.5 and Rain Water Harvesting
calculation is given in Table 4.6.

4.3.1.6 Traffic & Transport
With the operation of the project, the traffic in the area is likely to increase, particularly during the
operation phase. The increase in traffic may create congestion, potential delays and inconvenience
for pedestrians and residents accessing the localities.
As per Indian Road Congress (IRC) Standards and based on the existing traffic scenario as
mentioned in Chapter 3, the level of service has been determined and shown in Table 4.7.

Post-project Level of Service


The project has facilities for providing parking for 260 ECS Car Parking and 4 Bus parking space. It
is assumed that about 187 vehicles (70% of total ECS) at the peak hour will move towards salt lake
bypass road (T2) when the project would be operational and remaining 30% (77 vehicles) may move
towards T1. The total additional PCU in both the surveyed roads is given in Table 4.8.

The surveyed roads, as it seems from Table 4.6, have adequate capacity to accommodate the
incremental traffic load as a result of this project.

Traffic Management:

 All vehicles will be parked in designated parking area only.

 Optimizing use of roads at any particular time by planning vehicle movements.

 Road crossings to be used will be well marked and signalled.

 Information and warning signages will be retro-reflective type and clearly visible in the night.

 Marshals will be deployed to guide the vehicles and stop vehicles to avoid traffic jam.

4.3.1.7 Ecological Environment


There is no National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries within the study area. For estimation of the
adverse impact of the project on sensitive area, air quality modelling has done.
There will be emission of particulate matter, SO2 and NOx from the project.
CPCB adopted the injury symptoms and pollution dose thresholds of tolerance by sensitive species
of plants developed by W.H. Smith (1981) which stipulates that SO2 at 0.70 ppm (1820 µg/m3) after
1 hour exposure or 0.18 ppm (468 µg/m3) after 8 hours’ exposure gives rise to visible injury
symptoms in vegetation.
Similarly NOx at 20 ppm (38x103 µg/m3) after 1 hour exposure or 1.6-2.6 ppm (3000-5000 µg/m3)
after 48 hours’ exposure or 1 ppm (1900 µg/m3) after 100 hours’ exposure is likely to bring about
injury symptoms in vegetation.
However, such high ambient air concentration of SO2 and NOx is not likely to occur as a result of
this project. As per modelling studies done, the maximum resultant concentration of NOx in the
ambient air even after the project comes into operation will be 49.1 µg/m3. The concentration of SO2
was too low to be plotted.
Particulate matter emission is another matter of concern from ecological point of view. Finer
particles clog stomatal apertures and prevent gaseous exchange by leaves. Physical weight on foliage
and a film of dust causing rise in leaf surface temperature are other hazardous situations for plants.
Dust particles deposited on stigmatic surfaces of flowers reduce effective pollinations and hence fruit
yields.
Mitigation Measures:
 Paving has been done in all necessary areas.

 Green belt has been developed to improve the environmental quality.

 The project will maintain a zero discharge policy.

4.3.1.8 Socio-economic Scenario


Job opportunity: The community can look forward to benefit due to more jobs. Considering the
increasing emphasis of employment and education, the locals would have the opportunities for
administrative or other supervisory jobs, closer to their place of stay.
Expenditure incurred by those employed at the project will boost local economy.

4.3.1.9 Energy Conservation


The following energy conservation techniques has been considered for efficient energy saving in the
project:
Space Cooling: External shading prevents solar radiation from entering into the buildings and
reduces the cooling load, results to better control of overheating and indoor temperatures. Space
cooling load may be reduced by 30% due to proper shading.

Thermal insulation of buildings _external walls and roof reduces the cooling load and improves
indoor thermal comfort conditions by lowering heat gains through the building’s envelope.
Double glazing reduces the transmissivity of solar radiation, but may somewhat increase the cooling
load during periods of favourable outdoor conditions for heat dissipation. Energy consumption in
insulated buildings may be 5–30% less than in non-insulated buildings.

Light-colored roof and external walls reduce the annual cooling load, by lowering the heat absorbed
by the building’s envelope. Energy consumption in light colored buildings may be 2–4% less than in
dark colored buildings.

5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE
5.1 ALTERNATIVE PROJECT SITE
As the construction of the project has already completed, as mentioned in previous chapters, it was
not possible to analyse any alternative site for the project. The project site, however, seems to be
suitable from the following point of view:
 There are no national parks/wildlife sanctuaries within 10 km radius of the project site.
 The site is not a forest land or is not occupied by any water body.
 Easy access due to presence of major roads nearby.

5.2 SELECTION OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT


Many technological alternatives for wastewater treatment are available, ranging from advanced
technologies to conventional treatment options. It is difficult to select the most appropriate
technology from among a set of available alternatives to treat wastewater at a particular location.
Many factors, such as capital costs, operation and maintenance costs and land requirement, are
involved in the decision-making process. A comparative analysis of various available technologies
has been made and presented in Annex 5.1.

7.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN


Commercial projects encompass the lives of many people. It also involves installation of various
structures and machineries that meet the comfort and need of its population but may also pose
serious threat to the employees or occupants in case of an accident. It is thus considered necessary to
prepare a disaster management plan for the project.
Hazard analysis involves the identification and quantification of the various hazards (unsafe
conditions) that exist in the proposed project.
In the sections below, the identification of various hazards, probable risks in the project, maximum
credible accident analysis, consequence analysis are addressed which gives a broad identification of
risks involved in the project.

7.3.1 Emergency Response Plan
Despite all efforts, it is within the realm of possibility that emergencies and accidents could take
place. It is the objective of emergency management to prevent the accidents and to minimize losses
that occur due to such accidents by technical and organizational measures. It is also a responsibility
of effective management to be able to restore normalcy as quickly as possible. In preparation of the
Emergency Response Plan (ERP), the following elements have been considered to make it effective.
 Leadership and administration for emergency management.
 Prompt activation of Emergency Management Plan to minimize loss.
 Communication arrangements for warring/ notification and requesting external help.
 Lighting and stand-by power for various combat operations
 Setting up of an emergency control centre to act as a command and control point during an
emergency.
 Provision for medical care to the injured and response personnel
 Protection of vital records
 Preparation and use of checklists for various emergency management functions for pre, post
and in emergency activities.
 Conducting regular training programs for all level of employees.
Main hazards identified for the project include hazards pertaining to fires in buildings and fire in
diesel storage areas, earthquake and LPG leakage at residences and an ERP pertaining to these is
described in the following section:

7.3.1.1 Response in Case of Earthquake

Response Procedures for Occupants:

 If Indoors: To take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and to hold
on.

radius of the project site. East Calcutta Wetlands is located at a distance of 1.5km in SSW direction.

The nearest water body is the Bagiola Khal at a distance of 0.5 km and Hoogly River is situated at
the distance of 9.4km in NW direction.

11.4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION


MEASURES
The environmental impacts were identified and the potential impacts on different environmental
components due operation of the project were predicted.

Impacts & Mitigation Measures during Operation phase:


Air Quality: During the operation phase of the project, the major impact will be from DG set. The
air pollutants of concern from the DG Sets emissions are Sulphur Dioxide (SO2), un-burnt Carbon
(CO) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NO2) as per CPCB guidelines.

Mitigation Measures:
 DG set stack height will be as per CPCB guidelines.
 Low Sulphur Diesel will be used for DG Sets.
 DG sets will be operated during Power failure.
 Stack monitoring facility will be provided to all the stacks for regular monitoring.

Land-Use: The land parcel where the project is developed is allotted for commercial development
by West Bengal Housing Infrastructure Development Corporation Limited. Land-use of the project

PROJECT PROPONENT ENVIRONMENT CONSULTANT PAGE


DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED GREENCINDIA CONSULTING PRIVATE LIMITED 11-4
DONGFANG ELECTRIC (INDIA) PRIVATE LIMITED
ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT CHAPTER – 11
site is as per the master plan. Moreover, the site had no trees which required tree felling. The site was
a vacant land and did not require shifting of any utilities or infrastructure.
Water Quality: During operation phase, the fresh water required shall be supplied by New Town
Kolkata Development Authority and hence impact on ground water is not anticipated.
Run-off from DG set fuel storage area and storage area of used DG set oil can either leach into
ground water or can contaminate storm water run-off which can pollute nearby water sources.

Mitigation Measures:
 Proper oil & grease interceptors will be installed at wastewater outlet.
 STP would be installed on the project site. The wastewater will be treated in the proposed STP
using MBBR technology.
 Rainwater harvesting shall be carried out in pit size of 350m3 to reuse or recharge ground
water.

Noise Quality: The major sources of noise during the operational phase are:
 DG sets, compressor
 Vehicular traffic
The sound pressure level generated decreases with increase in distance from the source due to wave
divergence. An additional decrease in sound pressure level with distance from the source is expected,
due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path. During the
operational stage, DG sets, cooling towers, pumps and vehicles are the major source of noise
pollution.

The DG sets will be used during power failure for controlling emergency operations. The project
proponent will use silent DG sets, with built in acoustic enclosure.

Mitigation Measures:

 Periodic monitoring of ambient noise level will be done as per CPCB guidelines.

 Proper maintenance of all equipment’s/machines will be carried out which will help in
reducing noise during operations.

 Additional plantation will be taken up along the periphery of the project. The plantation will
not only minimize propagation of noise but will also arrest dust.

 Ear plugs will be provided to personnel working in high noise generating zones.

 DG set shall be provided with acoustic enclosures and anti-vibrating pads.

per MSW Rules, 2016. Also, the local vendors will be hired to provide separate coloured bins for dry
recyclables and Bio-Degradable waste. Litter bin will also be provided in open areas.
The biodegradable portion of MSW will be treated at site by an Organic Waste Converter and
manure generated will be used for plantation.
The non-biodegradable fraction like plastic, tin, glass etc. will be sold to local recyclers.
Horticultural waste shall be collected and disposed-off with biodegradable waste. Rest inert MSW
will be handed over to Municipal Corporation for final disposal. Used oil generated from DG sets
will be stored in HDPE drums and sold to authorized vendors.
Ecological Management: There is no National Parks or Wildlife Sanctuaries within the study area.
The project site have 4149m2 i.e. 20.50% of total plot area as plantation area. In addition 2225.85 m2
(11%) of green area will be developed and maintained.
Around 2701 plants are already planted within project site and additional plantation will be carried
out to increase the greenbelt coverage within the project site.

11.5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES


Selection of Alternative Project Site
As the construction of the project has already completed, it was not possible to analyse any
alternative site for the project. The project site, however, seems to be suitable from the following
point of view:
 There are no national parks/wildlife sanctuaries within 10 km radius of the project site.
 The site is not a forest land or is not occupied by any water body.
 Easy access due to presence of major roads nearby.
Selection of Sewage Treatment Technology
Many technological alternatives for wastewater treatment are available, ranging from advanced
technologies to conventional treatment options. Many factors, such as capital costs, operation and
maintenance costs and land requirement, are involved in the decision-making process. After detailed
evaluation, MBBR technology has been selected for proposed STP plant. The technology offers
various advantages, which are mentioned below:
 It provides primary, secondary and tertiary treatment all in one unit; in a single evergreen
facility open to atmosphere;

13.1 INTRODUCTION
In order to carry out the environmental/ ecological damage assessment and formulation of related
remediation plan and the natural and community resource augmentation plan with respect to
construction activity, which has already been carried out, the extent of environmental damage caused
by the project without formal statutory approval has been assessed.
In this chapter, the impact due to unscientific measures and the absence of EMP undertaken if any
will be elaborated. The measurable impacts will be ascertained with the extent of damage done with
the financial liabilities to bridge the gap of stipulated environmental norms.

13.2 DAMAGE ASSESSMENT


For the present study, Google Earth Historic Images of the project area in different phases viz. before
starting construction, during construction and after construction have been analysed. From this
analysis, it is clear that the project area was devoid of any trees or vegetation cover before starting
the construction works.
