1.1 IMPACTS ON AIR ENVIRONENT

1.1.1 Change in Ambient air and GLC
The air pollution impact of excavation in ordinary earth and boulders and rock is directly dependent
upon construction methodology, annual rate of excavation, mode of transport within the construction
site, mode of screening and method of crushing. The air pollution sources at the proposed project site
can be broadly classified into three categories, viz. area source, line source and instantaneous point
source.

Excavation by various activities in project area is construed as an area source which includes excavation
pit(s) and activities happening in the excavation area like digging, dozing, hauling and loading/unloading.
The dust emission from these areas will be fugitive in nature. The excavator operations,
loading/unloading operations will also cause dust emission though it will be confined to the area of
operation of the machinery. The gaseous emission from their operation shall be minimal and limited
within the project.
Transportation of excavated material from the project site to dumping sites area categorized as line
source. Since the dumper movement on haul road will be within the project area, no adverse impact
shall be felt in the settlement area.

1.1.1.1 Dust Dispersion Modeling for Excavation Operation

In the present study, United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA–42 series) approved
mathematical equations have been used to predict concentrations for different operations in project
including the material transportation. To predict the particulate emissions, Envitrans AERMODCloud.
(Air Dispersion Modeling Software) an interface based on ISCST3 – was used to predict changes in air
quality i.e., maximum ground level concentration (GLC’s) of Particulate Matter. Short term model
options were opted for uniform emissions rates. The concentration of other gaseous pollutants i.e. SO2
and Nox was found to be much lower than the threshold limit (80 µg/m3), the air modeling was
restricted to determination of PM10 and PM2.5 in the present case for the monitoring locations where
respective maximum value was identified. The emission factors adopted for various project operations
are mentioned below:

Emission Factor for Excavation and Material Loading/unloading

For excavation and material handling the emission factor for PM10 has been adopted as per USEPA – 42
series.

For Dozing Operation:

EFPM10 (kg/hr) = 0.34 X s1.5(%) / M1.4(%)

Where,
EFPM10 (kg/hr) = emission factor in kg/hr

S = silt contents in percentage by weight

to Rajasthan-Gujarat Border near Sanchore (District-Jalore) in the state of Rajasthan under Bharatmala
Pariyojana (Package 7/Lot-4).

M = moisture content in percentage by weight

For Material Loading/unloading:

EFPM10 (kg/hr) = 0.34 [0.119 / M0.9]

Where,
EFPM10 (kg/hr) = emission factor in kg/ton

M = moisture content in percentage by weight.

Emission Factor for Material Haulage within Project:

The emission rate is dependent on several factors which include soil properties, climatic conditions,
vehicular traffic, wind forces and machinery operation. The Empirical equation for calculation of
emission rate is as under.
E= k*(1.7) *(s/12) *(S/48) *(W/2.7)0.7*(W/2.7)0.7 (w/4)0.5 * (365-p/365) g/VKT
Where,

E=Emission Rate

K = Particle size multiplier

s=Silt Content of the Road surface material

S= Mean Vehicle Speed (km/hr)

W=Mean Vehicle Weight (tons)

w=Mean number of wheels

p= Number of days with at least 0.254mm of precipitation per year

Note: The emission factor for PM2.5 has been considered 60% of PM 10.
The Isopleth developed for PM10 and PM2.5 along the road alignment where monitored values are
highest in receptor villages and is shown in Figure 1.1 and 1.2 for PM10 and PM2.5 respectively . The
maximum GLC due to excavation, loading & unloading activities for PM10 and PM2.5 were found to be 3.4
µg/m3 and 2.1 µg/m3 respectively.

1.1.1.2 Resultant Impact

The resultant impact due to construction activities (excavation and crushing) on the ambient air
quality for PM10 and PM2.5 at monitoring station Khoda and Dhandhaniya Sesan respectively is
presented in Table 1.2 which shows that, the resultant concentration level is within the NAAQS.
