Fallow govt. land. Some open scrubland also exists within the proposed project site of
Page 5
Baggad Industrial Area. Scattered vegetations were observed. At the north-eastern side
of the project site a hillock is present. No habitation is observed within the project site.
NH-8 abuts by the project site on the eastern side. A natural storm water drain is present
at the northern side of the proposed project site. A village road is there at the southern
side and the western side of the site is flanked by hillocks, agricultural land, Open
scrubland etc In view of Land utilization, RIICO has selected the site, which is otherwise
not being utilized viably as compared to its size.
Land Utilization: As per the revenue records, a major chunk of the land of the proposed
project site is uncultivable fallow govt. land, Hillocks, open scrubland etc., which are of
no use otherwise except a little portion for grazing. The top soil is covered with hard
rocks on which no other vegetation exists except some herbs and shrubs. Agriculture is
also not possible in the proposed project site. This type of barren and uncultivable land is
being used for development of industrial area, which is certainly a positive initiative in
view of land utilization.
Connectivity of the Project Site: The proposed project site is situated about 56-km
away from the City of Rajsamand and 25-km away from Bhim. NH-8 abuts by the project
site. Nearest Railway Station is Kamali Ghat which is 8 km away from the project site
and Nearest Airport is Dabok Airport which is 135-km away.Thus, it may be said that the
site has the optimum connectivity for development of industrial area. NH-8 which
connects some big cities including Delhi, Jaipur, Ajmer, Udaipur, Ahmedabad, Vadodara,
Mumbai etc. abuts by the project site and offer the necessary connectivity for Raw
material supply, product export etc.
1.9 Benefits from the Project

The benefits of the proposed project are described as follows;
Development of Industrial Profile of the Area: The proposed project will catalyze the
industrial development of the area by attracting a considerable percentage of capital to
the State. It will facilitate the industries of each scale in terms of basic amenities like
water connection, power supply, drainage system etc.
Infrastructure Development: The proposed project along with industrial development will
also facilitate the development of infrastructure of the surroundings. Grid sub-station for
power supply will be developed. Well planned storm water drainage system will be
developed. These will indirectly induce the infrastructure development of the
surroundings.
Creation of Job Opportunity: It is expected that, during construction phase the
requirement of labour will be 75 persons per day. Local labours will be employed from
the surrounding villages. A temporary labour camp also may be provided as per the
situation. However, the responsibility of constructing a labour camp, if the need be will lie
with the civil contract awardee. During Operation phase, there will be both Direct and
Indirect employment generation. About 2000 persons will be directly employed by RIICO
itself for maintenance of the industrial area, among which 500 persons will be skilled
labour. Besides, it is expected that the individual industries may generate employment
opportunity for approximately 10,000 persons in total.

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This Chapter deals with the details of the proposed Industrial Area such as location,
connectivity, size and magnitude of the operation, project requirements, Infrastructure
development, environmental consideration, project cost, implementation schedule,
resettlement and rehabilitation plan etc.
2.1 Type of the Project

The proposed project (Baggad Industrial Area) comes under Udaipur Unit of RIICO. The
registered office of which is situated in Road No. 2, Mewar Industrial Area, Udaipur –
313001. The proposed project is for development of Industrial Area of 107.05-ha. As per
EIA Notification 2006 amendments, the project falls under Schedule 7 (c), Category A.
Therefore, it requires clearance from EAC, MoEF&CC Delhi.
The total area of the project site is 103.00 Ha. The main objective of the project is to
catalyze the industrial development of surrounding area by facilitating Industries with
provision of industrial & commercial plots of different sizes, internal road network, water
supply arrangement, power supply arrangement, storm water drainage system, street
lighting arrangements, etc.
2.2 Need of the Project

In order to develop the socio economic conditions, infrastructural developments and all
other area developments, setting up of industries and establishing industrial estates is
essential. In view of this the proposed industrial area at Baggard is proposed keeping in
view of the required availability of resources in terms of manpower, raw materials and
other climate & general infrastructure. Due to the proposed project,
 There will positive impacts on the socio –economic status of the surrounding areas
 More employment opportunities will be generated
 Physical infrastructure development such as improvement to roads, storm water dain,
street lights etc will take place
The nearest Industrial Area of RIICO, Rajnagar Industrial Area is about 56-km away from
the project site. Uncontrolled installation of Marble, cutting and polishing units has been
sprawled out on both side of NH-8 in this Rajsamand-Bhim strech. This uncontrolled
sprawling of the Marble cutting units shows the sheer need of an organized industrial area
in the region.
Till now, the Udaipur Unit of RIICO has successfully set-up Two (2) industrial areas with
proper maintenance and administration. But still the demand of organized industrial area
exists in the district. RIICO being catalyst of Industrial development have picked up the
opportunity of utilizing the barren and uncultivable waste land for development of organized
and well-administered Industrial Area to cater the growing demand of the same in District of
Rajsamand. The proposed project has a potential to prove that the Industrial development
and environment protection can go hand in hand in contrast to the general feeling that the
industrialization leads to pollution.

2.9 Infrastructure Development

2.9.1 Site Preparation
Cutting and filling method will be used for site preparation. During clearance of vegetation
the conservation of trees are taken into consideration. However in this case, trees are
scanty in the project site and the vegetation is scattered. Thus, extensive clearance of
vegetation is not required for the proposed. The site has huge level difference of 22-m.
Thus extensive cutting and filling is required. Tractor and J.C.B Dumper along with
mechanical Hammer will be used for site preparation.
2.9.2 Road Development
Development of roads is an integral part of planning for an industrial area. NH-8 abuts by
the project site. Thus, there is no requirement of development of Approach to the project
site. Internal Road development will be done by RIICO. The details of road infrastructure
proposed within the industrial area are presented in Table 2.5

The arterial roads within the Industrial Area will be developed as per IRC: 37-2001
(Guidelines for the design of flexible pavements). As per the guideline, the design of
flexible pavement involves the interplay of several variables such as, the wheel loads,
traffic, climate, terrain and sub-grade conditions. IRC: 37-2001 is arevised and developed
guideline for design of flexible pavement based on California Bearing Ratio Method. The
previous guideline of the same type IRC: 37-1984 has design curves which were
developed to cater up to 30-million standard axles (msa). With the rapid growth of Traffic
now, the pavements are required to be designed for heavy volume traffic of the order of
150-msa.
For the purpose to follow the guideline (IRC: 37-2001), flexible pavements are considered
to include the pavements which have bituminous surfacing and granular base and sub-
base course. A typical section of the road is shown inFigure2.5.
The excavated earth (Soil) generated during the site preparation activity will be used for
sub grade over the embankment. It will be well compacted as per the specification in the
guideline. The sub-base materials comprises natural sand, morum, gravel, laterite, kankar,
brick metal, crushed stone, crushed slag, croshed concrete or combination meeting
thereof the prescribed grading and physical requirement. This sub-grade material will be
laid down manually. Machineries will not be used for this purpose.
Page | 23
Unbound Granular bases which comprise conventional Water Bound Macadum (WBM),
Wet Mix Macadum (WMM) etc. conforming the IRC specification, will be used. Paver
Finishers will be used for laying this layer. Dense Bituminous macudum will be used for
the surfacing. The materials will be transported from outside workshop of the contract
awardee. No mixing plant or hot mix plant will be installed within the Project Site.
The Bituminous Macadum will be laid manually and will be compacted with the Help of a
Road Roller. It is estimated that for Road construction of the proposed project 1 Paver
finisher and 2 Road Roller will be required. Road cross-sections of 45, 30, 24 and 18-m
roads have been presented in Figure 2.5, 2.6, 2.7 and 2.8, respectively.

2.10 Drainage System Development

The basic requirements of drainage system in an industrial area are mainly for the
following two types of discharges:
 Effluent from the area
 Storm water run-off
All industrial units would be allotted plots with a condition of “zero” discharge. Therefore,
all industrial waste water generated at respective industrial level will be treated by them
and either recycled or used for green area development within their allotted area or within
green belt developed by RIICO.
It is planned to construct total 17 km open storm water drains along roads in both sides.
These drains will be linked to rain water harvesting structures to be built up within project
site. Drainage plan for the proposed Industrial area is provided at Figure 2.10.Design
basis for the storm water drainage system has been presented in Box No. 2.

as amended on 1st December, 2009 is anticipated.
2.12 Project Requirements
2.13 Construction Material Sourcing

The proposed project being a plotted area development raw material will be required only
during Construction phase. Construction materials like stones, aggregates, Bitumen’s etc.
will be sourced from Baggad quarry. The transportation of raw materials will be the
responsibility of civil contract awardees by means of Commercial vehicles. However,
RIICO will monitor that Good construction practices are being adopted by the civil contract
awardees. Transportation of the Raw material will be done in covered conditions only.
Each vehicle will be checked for PUC. Construction material will be stored in Covered
area. Water will be sprinkled regularly on the Haul road to minimize the fugitive emissions.
Approximate quantity of the required construction material is presented in Table 2.6.
Table 2.6: Requirement of Construction Material
Description Requirement
Soil 30000-Cum
Stone 10000-Cum
Aggregates 15000-Cum
Bitumen 250-MT
2.14 Water Requirement

Construction Phase:
There will be water requirement of approximately 15-KLD including 5-KLD domestic water
requirements for workers (45-lpcd for 75-workers) during the construction phase based on
construction activity requirement. The water requirement during this phase will be met
from the existing ground water sources outside the proposed industrial area. Drinking
water at construction sites will be provided by RIICO.
Operation phase:
Based on the data collected from RIICO of its operational industrial areas, the water
requirement in the proposed project during operation phase will be about 1203-KL/day
(water requirement per acres =1000-gallons/day).Water requirement calculation for
Industrial zone is presented in Annexure V.
The water requirement during operation phase will be met by RIICO through ground water
and for the same application is attached as Annexure IV. Any extra requirement of water
other than the quantity stated above will be arranged by the industries themselves.
Expected industries to be proposed at project area viz. (Marble, granite, minerals, &
engineering) which are of zero discharge, so CETP will not be proposed at site.
Page | 31
2.15 Power Requirement

Electricity will be supplied by RIICO during operation phase. 2-MVA Grid sub-station will
be set up by Ajmer Vidyut Vitaran Nigam Limited. Power back-up facility will not be
provided by RIICO. Individual Industries will arrange for their own Power Back-up. Power
lines will also be set up by RIICO. It is estimated that about 8-kms of power line to be laid.
During construction phase, there will be no power requirement.
2.16 Environmental Consideration

2.16.1 Industrial Ecological Consideration in Planning
The successful establishment of industrial ecology linkages requires continuing

implementation of projects that identify industrial ecology opportunities. RIICO considering
these aspects have integrated following consideration in project planning:
 Maintaining the environmentally important areas intact like forest area, hillock area,
and water bodies.
 Optimal use of natural material like use of cutting material for road and other
construction activities.
 Provision of industries which follows zero discharge scheme and reduce pollution.
 Provision of water harvesting and waste management.
 Intent to promote awareness of cleaner production through industry association
during operation stage.
2.16.2 Water Pollution & Control
To avoid any kind of water pollution during construction phase, it is proposed to provide
temporary sanitation facilities at construction site/ camp such as septic tank followed by
soak pit or mobile toilets.
During the operation phase of the project, water pollution will be in the form of industrial
effluent as well as domestic effluent from industrial units in the industrial area. Mitigation of
water pollution will be the responsibility of each individual industrial unit. Polluting industrial
units will have to install Effluent Treatment Plant (ETP) and/or Sewage Treatment Plant
(STP) as per their requirement in compliance with the RSPCB norms. Treated water from
ETP and/or STP shall be utilized by the industrial units within their premises for reuse in
process/ gardening/ non-potable usage. Any excess quantity of treated water can be sent
to green areas of RIICO after taking permission from RIICO. All the units will opt for "Zero
Discharge System".
2.16.3 Air Pollution Control
During the construction phase of the project, air pollution will be mainly from site
preparation, transportation of construction material, operation of construction machinery at
site, loading and unloading of construction material etc. RIICO will take adequate
measures to control the air pollution during the construction phase, which has been
discussed in details in Environmental Management Plan.
During operation phase of the project, air pollution will be mainly from operation of
industrial units and movement of vehicles for transportation of raw materials and final
products. All the industrial units will take "Consent to Operate" under Air Act from RSPCB
Page | 32
prior to start of the production and shall provide adequate air pollution control equipments
as applicable to adhere the conditions stipulated in the CTO.
2.16.4 Waste Management
Construction Waste Management
Waste during construction activity relates to excess cement mix or concrete left after work
is over, rejection caused due to change in design or wrong workmanship etc. These are
normally re-used as filling at the same site after completion of excavation work. Demolition
and/or construction waste will be utilized in road construction wherever possible.
Excavated earth during the civil works including road construction, fencing, drainage, site
levelling etc., shall be utilized within the project site. Topsoil shall be conserved and will be
utilized in the areas earmarked for greenbelt development.
Municipal Solid Waste Management
Approximately 10 to 15-kg of municipal solid waste will be generated from the construction
camp and construction site. This will be collected and disposed off in a fenced pit dugout
at the site and covered properly after completion of construction activity.Waste
management would be the responsibility of individual industries. Individual industry will
provide system for municipal solid waste collection, storage and disposal.
Each industry shall have to comply with the Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules,
2000 and amendments therefore. Approximately 2000 persons will be involved during the
operation phase of the project. Taking into consideration approximately 0.15-
kg/person/day of municipal solid waste generation, the total municipal waste generation in
the proposed industrial area will be about 300-kg/day.
Hazardous Waste Management
During construction phase no hazardous waste will be generated.

During operation phase hazardous waste management would be the responsibility of
individual industries. Prior to the commencement of production, each unit shall take
authorization for storage, handling and transport of hazardous waste, as per the
Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules, 2008
and amendments thereof.
2.16.5 Green Belt Area Development
3.672-ha of total area within the project site will be developed as Greenbelt area by RIICO
only. Besides, individual industries will also provide greenbelt area in their own plot as per
RSPCB Consent Condition. RIICO in consultation with Forest department will undertake
afforestation in nearby eco-sensitive Todgarh Raoli wildlife sanctuary. Landscape plan for
the proposed project is attached as Figure 2.11.
Green belt will be developed keeping in consideration the climatic conditions of the area,
quality of soil & water, type of industries & pollution to be generated. Nature of species
proposed to be planted should be as per CPCB norms:
 Perennial, evergreen & fast growing trees
 Round, thick & spreading canopy.
Page | 33
 Tolerant to climatic conditions of the area and with less water requirement & after
care will preferable be planted.
 Plantation of Indigenous species
 Plantation trees with ornamental foliage & shrubs with fragrant flowers will enhance
scenic beauty of the area.
 Plantation of trees resistant to air pollutants
 Plantation should be such that it maintains ecological & hydrological balance of the
region.
 Trees Planted along periphery of project site should alternate with shrubs & herbs
so as to form a continuous green barrier.
 Green Belt development Plan: Healthy and established sapling having 1m height
shall be selected for planting in greenbelt to avoid mortality. Pit measurements of
0.6 m x 0.6 m x 0.6 m are proposed to be dug up at desired point in triangular
pattern
 The tall shrubs and dwarf trees with 3 m spacing between plants and rows is
sufficient while medium and tall trees in middle and rear rows are to be planted at a
distance of 6-7m and 8-10m apart respectively depending upon the space
available.
 The pit should be filled with mixture of cow dung manure and soil in ratio of 1: 4.10
gm suitable soil conditioner should be properly mixed with the soil and manure to
kill the termites and insect.
 Close plantation with three tiers system keeping dwarf trees with round canopy
exposed to the source of emission followed by medium and tall trees with
cylindrical canopy is ideal design for the polluted area, because all plants are
exposed to the pollutants. Thick plantation shall be done along the periphery and
along the proposed road.
 Close plantation also result in tall trees with deeper roots and ultimately yield more
bio-mass per unit area and more efficient absorption of pollutants. Plantation of
trees in staging arrangement in multiple rows across the direction of the wind is
recommended for better trapping and absorption of the pollutants.
 • Avenue plantation: Road of ROW 45 m, 30 m, 24 m & 18 m is planned within
project site. Along road of 45 m, 6 rows of trees will be provided, 2 rows in centre
verge (5 m), 2 rows (2 m) each on either side of road. Along road of 30 m
plantation will be carried out on both sides of road in double rows, along 24 m road
on both sides of road in double row& along 18 m on one side of road in a single
row.
 Plant species with pollution abatement capacity will be planted. The list of the
same is given in Error! Reference source not found.7 as follows;

2.16.6 Rainwater Harvesting
As per the prevailing rules of allotment of RIICO, all the proposed industries will required
to construct water harvesting structure, which should be almost 60-70% of total land area.
For the remaining area (common services), the storm water drains will be constructed in
such a manner to harvest the rainwater in existing pits, small ponds of this area as well as
nearby area. Hence, proper rain water harvesting will be taken care of by digging pits in
open areas.

3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
This chapter describes the Baseline environmental conditions in and around the proposed
project site for various environmental attributes, viz., Physical, Biological and Socio-economic
features, within the 10-km radial study zone, which is termed as the study area. Topography,
Meteorology, Ambient air, Water, Land/Soil, and Noise environment constitute the physical
environment, whereas flora & fauna constitute the Biological environment. Demographic
features and Occupational pattern in the study area constitute Socio-economic environment.
Baseline environmental conditions are based on the field studies carried out during the period
of October, 2015 to December, 2015 as winter season
3.1 Prelude
It is necessary for the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) studies to establish
baseline status for valued environmental components, which are likely to be affected
because of the developmental activities/ modernization or expansion. Hence, it is
imperative to study the existing environmental conditions not only to establish the pre-
project physical, biological, and socio-economic conditions, but also to predict
environmental impacts caused by the construction and operation phases of the project.
The environmental status around the proposed project site is determined by studying in
detail the major environmental attributes viz., Air, Water Land/Soil, Noise, Biological and
Socio-economic in a 10-km radial zone. For collecting the baseline information, primary
data were generated as per TOR prescribed by EAC MoEF & CC. Secondary data from
literature search were also obtained from various Government and non-government
sources such as Meteorological Departments, CPCB publications, and other agencies.
The primary data generation was carried out during October to December 2015. M/s
Kamal Enviro & Food Lab Pvt. Ltd., Gurgaon-Haryana with EQMS Team, carried out
sampling and testing. The study area within a 10 km radius around the proposed plant site
has been considered as impact zone for EIA study. Primary and secondary data has been
collected for 10 Km radius of the project site.
3.2 Site Description and its Environs

3.1.2 Geology of the Study Area

The oldest formation exposed in the area belongs to Bhilwara super group of Archean
age. The northern, central and western part of the district are occupied by the younger
formations of Aravalli super group and Delhi super group of Proterozoic age. Quaternary
and recent alluvium overlies most of the formations in isolated pockets, along river courses
and in shallow depressions. (Source-http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Rajasthan/
Rajsamand.pdf)
Geomorpholgically, in the study area, there are Intermontane plateaus, structural hills,
pediment, buried pediment, aggradational plains, denudational plains, valley fills, flood
plains etc. Geomorphological units show linearity specially the structural hills which area
ligned in the direction of Arravallis (NE-SW).
3.1.3 Groundwater Resources
The study area (10 km study area) falls in Bhim and Deogarh block of the Rajsamand
district. Overall Bhim and Deogarh block fall in overexploited category. The ground water
resources in Rajsamand district and block in which the study area falls is given in Table

3.1.3.1 Hydrogeology
The occurrence of ground water in the study area is mainly controlled by the topographic
and structural features present in the geological formations. The principal source of ground
water is precipitation. Out of the total rainfall received, a major part of it is lost as run-off
and by evapo-transpiration through soil and vegetation. Only a small part of rainfall
infiltrates down to reach ground water body. Groundwater occurs mainly under water table
conditions in all formations. The important water bearing formation in study area is
alluvium.
Alluvial deposits of recent origin occur in narrow discontinuous bands along the channels
of Khari in the form of valley fills. They are composed of stream laid sand and gravel and
occasionally silt, clay and kankar. Besides these, blown sand occurs in localized patches.
Thickness of alluvium has been found to vary from thin veneer near outcrops to 19m in the
south of Bamania Kalan. The bed rock is overlain by a boulder gravel bed varying in
Page | 45
thickness from 2 to 6 m. Ground water in boulder and gravel beds occurs under confined
conditions. Saturated thickness of alluvium has been found to vary between 3 and 12 m.

3.1.5 Land-Use
Land use analysis was carried out using remote Sensing Data. Interpretation approach
based on systematic digital imaging was used for delineating the land use classes. The
demarcation of boundaries falling under different land use/land cover units is done using
different colours assigned to different land use/land cover units of a satellite imagery1.
Most of the land within the 10 km area of the proposed site is under open scrub land. As
per the land use based on satellite image, about 51.67% of the land is under open scrub
land. 23% of the land is under agriculture, about 15.31% land is under dense forest, 4.72%
land is under open jungle and rest of the land is under other uses (Refer Figure 3.7 and
Table 3.4).

3.5 Baseline Environmental Quality

Eight (8) numbers of monitoring stations were set up to assess the prevailing
ambient air quality within study area. The CPCB guide lines were followed for
selection of monitoring stations and carrying out the monitoring. However, certain
adjustments were incorporated because of local availability of infrastructure/logistics.
Typical logistic considerations are: ready accessibility to the monitoring site, security,
Page | 51
availability of reliable power supply etc. These were examined while finalizing the
monitoring locations.
3.1.6 Air Environment
Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out between October to December 2015
with the frequency of twice a week of 24 hr sampling. All the ambient air analysis with
respect to each parameter was analyzed as per CPCB guidelines. The AAQ
monitoring locations are provided in Table 3.7. Map showing environment

Physical Characteristics of Soil

Physical characteristics of soil greatly influence its use and behavior towards plant growth.
Soil Texture
The mineral components of soil are sand, silt and clay, and their relative proportions
determine a soil's texture. Properties that are influenced by soil texture, include
porosity, permeability, infiltration, shrink-swell, water-holding capacity, and susceptibility to
erosion. The soil in which neither sand & silt nor clay predominates is called "loam". The
mineral constituents of a loam soil might be 40% sand, 40% silt and the balance 20% clay by
weight. Soil texture affects soil behavior, in particular its retention capacity for nutrients
and water. Texturally the soils of study area are observed as Sandy Clay Loam and Sandy
Loam Soils.
Bulk Density
Bulk density of soil relates to the combined volumes of the solids and pore spaces. Soil with a
high pore space with loose solid particles will have lower bulk density than those that are more
compact and have less pore space. This is directly related to the movement of air and water
through soil thus affecting the productivity. The bulk density of the soils was found in the range
of 1.37 to 1.44-gm/cm3.
Water Holding Capacity
Water-holding capacity is usually defined as the amount of water that soil can hold. Soil that
have fine particles are able to hold more water than coarse soils while rock fragments cannot
hold any water and contribute negatively to soil water-holding capacity. The type and
composition of soil are the controlling factors in this case. Water Holding Capacity of study
area soils was observed as 28.2 to 30.1%.
Chemical Characteristics of Soil: Soil Reaction Classes and Critical Limits for Macro and
Micro Nutrients in Soil
According to Soil Survey Manual (IARI, 1970), the soils are grouped under different soil
reaction classes viz; extremely acidic (pH<4.5), very strongly acidic (pH 4.5-5.0 ), strongly
acidic (pH 5.1-5.5), moderately acidic (pH 5.6-6.0), slightly acidic (pH 6.1-6.5), neutral (pH 6.6-
7.3), slightly alkaline (pH 7.4-7.8), moderately alkaline (pH 7.9-8.4), strongly alkaline (pH 8.5-
9.0).The soils are rated as low (below 0.50 %), medium (0.50-0.75 %) and high (above 0.75
%) in case of organic carbon, low (<280-kg/ha-1), medium (280 to 560-kg/ha-1) and high
(>560-kg/ha-1) in case of available Nitrogen, low (<10-kg/ha-1), medium (10 to 25-kg/ha-1)
and high (>25-kg/ha-1) for available Phosphorus, low (<108-kg/ha-1), medium (108 to 280-
kg/ha-1) and high (>280-kg/ha-1) for available Potassium and low (<10-mg/kg-1), medium
(10-20-mg/kg-1) and high (>20-mg/kg-1) for available Sulphur (Singh et.al. 2004, Mehta et.
al.1988). Critical limits of Fe, Mn, Zn, Cu and B, which separate deficient from non-deficient
soils followed in India, are 4.5, 2.0, 0.5, 0.2 and 0.5-mg/kg-1 respectively. (Follet & Lindsay-
1970 and Berger & Truog-1940)
Soil Reaction
Page | 59
Soil pH is an important soil property, which affects the availability of several plant nutrients. It
is a measure of acidity and alkalinity and reflects the status of base saturation. The soil pH
ranges from 7.28 to 7.82, thereby indicating the soils are neutral to slightly alkaline.
Organic Carbon
The effect of soil organic matter on soil properties is well recognized. Soil organic matter plays
a vital role in supplying plant nutrients, cation exchange capacity, improving soil aggregation
and hence water retention and soil biological activity. The Organic Carbon content of soil
varied from 0.38 to 0.48 %( 0.66 to 0.83% as Organic Matter) thereby implying that soils are
low in organic content.
Macronutrients
Nutrients like nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P) and potassium (K) are considered as primary
nutrients and sulphur (S) as secondary nutrient. These nutrients help in proper growth,
development and yield differentiation of plants and are generally required by plants in large
quantity.
Available Nitrogen
Nitrogen is an integral component of many compounds including chlorophyll and enzyme
essential for plant growth. It is an essential constituent for amino acids which is building blocks
for plant tissue, cell nuclei and protoplasm. It encourages aboveground vegetative growth and
deep green color to leaves. Deficiency of nitrogen decreases rate and extent of protein
synthesis and results into stunted growth and develop chlorosis. Available nitrogen content in
the surface soils ranges between 265.6& 278.9-kg/ha, thereby indicating that soils are low in
available nitrogen content.
Available Phosphorus
Phosphorus is an important component of adenosine di-phosphate (ADP) and adenosine tri-
phosphate (ATP), which involves in energy transformation in plant. It is essential component
of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), the seat of genetic inheritance in plant and animal.
Phosphorous take part in important functions like photosynthesis, nitrogen fixation, crop
maturation, root development, strengthening straw in cereal crops etc. The availability of
phosphorous is restricted under acidic and alkaline soil reaction mainly due to P-fixation. In
acidic condition it gets fixed with aluminum and iron and in alkaline condition with calcium.
Available phosphorus content ranges between 22.5 & 41.3-kg/ha, thereby indicating that soils
are having medium to high available phosphorus.
Available Potassium
Potassium is an activator of various enzymes responsible for plant processes like energy
metabolism, starch synthesis, nitrate reduction and sugar degradation. It is extremely mobile
in plant and help to regulate opening and closing of stomata in the leaves and uptake of water
by root cells. It is important in grain formation and tuber development and encourages crop
resistance for certain fungal and bacterial diseases. Available potassium content in these soils
ranges between 322.4 & 341.5-kg/ha, thereby is indicating that the soils are high in potassium
content.
Micronutrients
Proper understanding of micronutrients availability in soils and extent of their deficiencies is
the pre-requisite for efficient management of micronutrient fertilizer to sustain crop
Page | 60
productivity. Therefore, it is essential to know the micronutrients status of soil before

introducing any type of land use.
Available Manganese
Manganese is essential in photosynthesis and nitrogen transformations in plants. It activates
decarboxylase, dehydrogenize, and oxides enzymes. The available manganese content in
surface soils was recorded as 1.68 to 2.10-mg/kg, as the critical limit of available manganese
is 2.0-mg/kg.
Available Zinc
Zinc plays role in protein synthesis, reproductive process of certain plants and in the formation
of starch and some growth hormones. It promotes seed maturation and production. The
available zinc in surface soils of the study area ranges from 1.02 to 1.52-mg/kg. As per the
critical limit of available zinc (0.5-mg/kg), most of the study area soils are more than sufficient
in available zinc in the vicinity of the project.
Available Boron
Boron increases solubility and mobility of calcium in the plant and it act as regulator of K/Ca
ratio in the plant. It is required for development of new meristematic tissue and also necessary
for proper pollination, fruit and seed setting and translocation of sugar, starch and
phosphorous etc. It has role in synthesis of amino acid and protein and regulates
carbohydrate metabolism. The available boron content in the soils was observed as <0.01-
mg/kg. The critical limit for deficiency of the available boron is 0.5-mg/ kg.

4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND THE PROPOSED

MITIGATION MEASURES
This chapter details the inferences drawn from the EIA study of the proposed project. It
describes the overall impacts of the project activities and underscores the areas of
concern, which need mitigation measures.
4.1 Introduction
In this chapter the environmental impacts associated with the proposed development of
Baggad Industrial Area are identified, characterized, and evaluated systematically. The
extent of impact on air, water, soil, flora and fauna will be evaluated in relation to the
environmental pollution. The impacts will be distinctly direct and indirect, positive and
negative, reversible and irreversible. The prediction of impacts on various environmental
parameters during pre-operational, operational and post-operational activities assists in
effective identification of mitigation measures to minimize the adverse impacts on
environmental quality. The prediction of impacts on different sectors has been studied
using scientific tools and the results are anticipated. Such predictions are superimposed
over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to develop the ultimate (post-
project) scenario of the environmental conditions. The successful environmental impact
assessment process requires proper identification, prediction, assessment, and also
communication of the significant environmental impacts to the public. The details on impact
of the project activity on each of the disciplines mentioned above are discussed below. The
environmental impacts associated due to the proposed Industrial Area are classified into
two phases and the possible impacts are assessed.
 Impacts during constructional phase
 Impacts during operational phase
4.2 Prediction of Impacts – Construction Phase

The prediction of impacts during the construction phase is an important aspect of the
Present Study as the implementation of the EMP during construction is the responsibility of
RIICO. The officials of RIICO will be directly involved in execution of the mitigation
measures of environmental pollution generated from the project activity during construction
phase.
The critical areas of environmental concerns for which the impacts and their predictions are
taken into consideration are listed below:
 Topography
 Air Environment
 Water Environment
 Noise environment
76 | P a g e
 Land Environment
 Biological Environment
 Socio-economic Environment
The impacts can be further categorized as positive impacts and negative impacts
depending upon their nature, potential and magnitude.
4.2.1 Topography
As per the topographic survey of the proposed project site, level difference is about 22-m.
To develop the site as a state-of-the-art industrial area and to ensure uniformity in the
topographic condition of the site, site preparation activities like cut and fill operations will be
performed. This operation will be done by J.C.B Dumpers, Mechanical Hammers and
Tractors. Due care will be taken to maintain the natural slope of the project site so that the
developmental activity will not alter the natural drainage system to a considerable degree.
At the proposed site, trees are scanty and the vegetation is scattered. Thus, extensive
clearance of vegetation is not required. The proposed project site witnesses growth of
bushes and grasses in scattered fashion. Bushes like Lantana camara, Calotropis procera
Ziziphus nummularia, Acacia jacquemontii, are naturally growing species. All these species
are well adapted to xerophytic condition. Grasses are noticed in patches in scattered
fashion, where soil is fertile, and contains moisture. Tree species like Azadirachta indica,
Acacia nilotica, has been observed. The trees in present in the project site will be
conserved as much as possible. Reforestation as green buffer has been envisaged in plan.
Care will be taken to reduce the impact on biological diversity of the project site due to the
proposed project.
The potential sources of air emission during construction phase will include site clearing,
vehicle movement, material storage and handling and operation of construction
equipments. Emissions from them are expected to result in temporary degradation of air
quality, primarily in the work environment affecting construction employees. However,
Particulate Matters rise in ambient air will be coarse and will settle within a short distance
close to the construction site. Hence, dust and other emissions are unlikely to spread
sufficiently to affect the surroundings of construction site.
4.2.2.1 Emission due to Site Preparation Activities
Cutting and filling method will be adopted for site preparation. Tractor, J.C.B. Dumper and
mechanical hammer will be used for this purpose. The major chunk of the land being
Rocky, coarse particulate emission is expected from site preparation activities. However,
the coarse particles will not travel a long distance and expected to settle within the project
site as manual operation with mechanical hammer is envisaged instead of blasting
operation. Prepared site will be well compacted to restrain the further emissions.
Emission due to Construction Equipments
The only construction equipments which will be used on-site are Paver finishers and Road
Rollers. Besides, J.C.B. Dumpers and tractors will also be used. Hot Mix Plant, concrete
77 | P a g e
mixing plant will not be used on site. The material will be prepared in some off-site
workshop of Contract awardee and will be transported to the site. Thus, the emission due
to the construction equipments will only include particulate emission and not gaseous
emission (except from vehicles). Combustion of hydrocarbon from preparation of
bituminous macadum is not expected, as the same will not be done on-site.
Fugitive Emissions
The source of fugitive emissions due to the proposed project will be loading and unloading
of materials, de-dusting, handling of materials, cement and earth mixing etc. However,
these impacts will be local to their source and will not affect the project site and its
surrounding as a whole. Following measures will be taken to control the fugitive emissions:
Following measures will be taken to control the fugitive emissions:
 All dust producing construction materials would be transported to site with proper
cover as tarpaulins.
 Water will be sprayed in the cement and earth mixing sites as well as after
compaction.
 Dust suppression foam may also be used to minimize use of water.
 In high dust areas, workers will be provided and encouraged to use nose masks.
Vehicular Emissions
 Vehicular emission will be a concern during the construction phase of the proposed
project as there will be continuous movement of vehicle during the construction
phase. Following measures will be taken to control the vehicular emissions.
 Regular maintenance, servicing of the vehicles and periodic emission check for
equipment and machinery would be carried out in conformity with the Central Motor
Vehicles Rules, 1989.
 Water will be sprayed on the haul road.
 Materials will be transported in covered conditions.
 All the vehicles entering the project site will be checked for Pollution-Under-Control
Certificates.
Mitigation Measures
The impact of the above mentioned activities would be temporary and will be restricted to the
constructional phase. However, the impact is generally confined to the Industrial Area and is
expected to be negligible outside the boundary. Nevertheless, the following mitigation measures
will be adopted to limit the environmental impact during constructional phase.
 Regular water sprinkling will be done to avoid the dust materials entering into the
atmosphere. Furthermore, during windy days, the frequency of the water sprinkling will
be increased.
 The vehicular movement will be minimized, with a planned scheduling, to reduce the
emission of pollutants.
78 | P a g e
 Temporary thin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the proposed site
as a barrier for dust control.
 The excavated material shall be reused within the boundary and the movement of cut
and fill material will be limited.
 Plantation of trees around the boundary and it will be initiated at the early stages by
plantation of 2 to 3 years old saplings using drip irrigation so that the area will be moist
for most part of the day.
 All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin/plastic sheet;
unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.
The proposed project involves various construction activities and the impact on water
quality associated with each of these construction activities are described below:
Site formation
The preparation of land required for the subsequent development activities generates a
significant amount of construction waste. The site formation may produce large quantities
of run-off with high suspended solids in the absence of appropriate mitigation measures.
This potential problem will be intensified during rainy season.
Construction of buildings
During rainy season, due to the construction of various civil structures, the site runoff
results in significant pollution in the receiving water bodies and washing of various
construction equipments will also result in water pollution.
Site workshop
The storage of used engine oil and lubricants as waste materials has a potential to create
impacts if spillage occurs. Waste oil may infiltrate into the surface soil layers or in the form
of runoff into local watercourses which increases the hydrocarbon levels.
Presence of workers
Wastewater will be generated from eating areas and the sewage will be generated from
temporary sanitary facilities. Significant impact on water quality is envisaged if the sewage
is discharged directly into the receiving waters without any prior treatment.
Water supply will be sourced through tanker provided by RIICO during construction phase
and no significant impact is anticipated on ground water resources. No impact is anticipated
on surface water resources as due to non-perennial nature of existing small pond in the
project area.
Mitigation Measures:
• Natural slope will be maintained during the site preparation to avoid any effect on the
natural drainage pattern of the site.
• During the construction phase, the storm-water may be contaminated with particulate
matter and the turbidity of the same may increase. Temporary gully network will be
79 | P a g e
formed during the construction work to channelize the storm-water in a temporary

garland drain surrounding the proposed project site.
• Contamination of storm-water by oil and grease from the construction machinery/
maintenance areas of the construction equipments/ vehicles will be strictly avoided. It
is also suggested to provide oil & grease traps near the vehicle maintenance area.
• The excavation and site preparation activities shall be avoided during the monsoon
season.
• On-site septic tank followed by soak pit will be provided for discharge of the domestic
effluent. Drinking water for construction work force will be provided by RIICO.
The major activities, which produce periodic noise, during construction phase, are as
follows:
 Foundation works
 Fabrication of structures
 Plant erection
 Operation of construction equipment
 Movement of vehicles
Impacts
Ambient noise levels may increase temporarily in the close vicinity of various
construction activities, maintenance workshops, earth cutting and filling activities,
vehicles and earthmoving equipment movement areas. These construction activities are
expected to generate noise levels in the range of 80 - 95 dB (A) (at a distance of about 5
m from the source). Although this level of noise is higher than the permissible limit for
ambient noise level for residential/commercial levels but will occur only intermittently and
temporary.
This noise level will attenuate fast with increase in distance from noise source. Impact
due to noise during construction activities will be minimal to inhabitants since most of the
built-up areas are located at safer distance from the activity area. No blasting techniques
will be applied for cutting and, levelling and site preparation. The noise generating
activities are also proposed to be restricted to day time only to the extent feasible.
Overall, the impact of noise on the environment will be insignificant, reversible and
mainly confined to the day hours. Noisy construction activities will be carried during the
day time only and this will effectively reduce the night time ambient noise level.
Exposure to continuous and intermittent noise levels louder than 90 dB (A) - 115 dB (A)
should not be permitted. Following mitigation/management measures shall be adopted:
• All equipment shall be fitted with silencers and will be properly maintained to
minimize its operational noise.
• Noise level will be one of the considerations in equipment selection which will favour
lower sound power levels.
• Stationary noise making equipment shall be placed along uninhabited stretches.
80 | P a g e
• The timing for construction activities shall be regulated, such that all noise generating
construction activities in odd hours say after school hours.
• The provision of temporary noise barrier (barricading) shall be made near identified
sensitive locations or near the noise source during construction.
• Plantation along the boundary wall shall be made at start of construction itself.
• Protection devices (earplugs or earmuffs) shall be provided to the workers operating
near high noise generating machines and their shifts shall be rotated.
• Noise measurements should be carried out to ensure the effectiveness of mitigation
measures and develop a mechanism to record and respond to complaints on noise.
Data shall be reviewed and analyzed by the project manager for adherence to any
strict measure.
• Smooth flow of traffic should be ensured on the internal road to avoid idling and
honking of vehicles.
4.2.5 Land Environment

There will not be any adverse impact on the land use as the allotted land falls under
industrial area approved by Govt. of Rajasthan State. Furthermore, the impact on
surrounding land use, during the constructional activity, is negligible as all the raw materials
required will be stored in the designated area within the boundary of the Industrial Area
Impacts
During construction phase, the waste generation will include the construction waste and
municipal solid waste from labor activity. No hazardous waste generation is anticipated
during the construction phase of the proposed project.
Mitigation
Construction Waste Management
Waste during construction activity relates to excess cement mix or concrete left after work
is over, rejection caused due to change in design or wrong workmanship etc. These are
normally re-used as filling at the same site after completion of excavation work.
Construction waste will be utilized in road construction wherever possible.
Excavated earth during the civil works including road construction, fencing, drainage, site
leveling etc., shall be utilized within the project site. Topsoil except the rocky area shall be
conserved and will be utilized in the areas earmarked for greenbelt development.
Approximately 10 to 15-kg of municipal solid waste will be generated from the project site
during the construction phase. This will be collected and disposed off in a fenced pit dugout
at the site and covered properly after completion of construction activity.
4.2.4 Solid Waste Generation
During the constructional stage, the solid waste generated is required to be disposed in an
appropriate and environmentally acceptable manner. The waste generated from different
activities of constructional phase include following
81 | P a g e
 Vegetation and demolition waste from site clearance

 Excavated materials from earthworks like cuttings, grading, & foundation works
 General construction waste like wood, scrap metal, & concrete debris
 Domestic waste generated by site workers
 bricks, tiles
 cement plaster
 steel (from RCC, door/ window frames, roofing support, railings of staircase etc)
 rubble, sand, stone (Marble, granite, sand stone)
 timber/wood
 paints/varnishes
Besides above there are some major and minor components namely conduits, pipes,
electrical fixtures, panels, etc in all the proposed projects. In addition the packing
material used for packing of various items used in creation of sports infrastructure and
others also constitutes the solid waste.
Mitigation Measure
The solid waste generated during this period being predominantly inert in nature,
construction and demolition waste does not create chemical or biochemical pollution.
Hence maximum effort would be made to reuse and recycle them. The most of the solid
waste material can be used for filing/ leveling of low-laying areas. All attempts should
be made to stick to the following measures.
 All construction waste shall be stored within the proposed site itself. A proper
screen will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered.
 Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far
as possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.
 Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, levelling, making
roads/ pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be
sold or land filled.
 The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate
number of skip containers/ trolleys on hire.
The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and
conditions of the separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and
therefore, have a high potential for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have
quality standards for the recycled materials. Construction waste can be used in the
following manner.
 Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent
possible and depending upon their conditions.
 Sale/ auction of materials which cannot be used at the site due to design
constraint
 Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal etc can be sent for recycling in the
industries.
82 | P a g e
 Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as leveling, under coat
of lanes where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.
 Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low laying areas.
 Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material
 The unearthed soil can be used for leveling as well as for lawn development
 The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for leveling in the
building or can be disposed off
 The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be
disposed off
4.2.6 Demography and Socio-economics
All the activities to be carried out during the construction phase will require skilled,
semi-skilled and unskilled labours, which will create employment opportunity for the
local people during this phase, which will spread for about 3 years.
It is expected that, during construction phase the requirement of labour will be 75
persons per day. Local labours will be employed from the surrounding villages. A
temporary labour camp also may be provided as per the situation. However, the
responsibility of constructing a labour camp, if the need be will lie with the civil contract
awardee.
Most of the unskilled and semi-skilled labour will be by and large available from the
nearby villages. Thus impact on the physical and aesthetic resources will be minimal.
Further, local skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labours will get direct and indirect
employment during the construction phase. This might result in a steep rise in
agricultural wages in the surrounding villages. Hence, the short term positive impacts
on socio-economic conditions of the area are anticipated during the construction phase.
The impact due to the proposed Industrial Area on demography and socio economic
conditions of the study area would be as follows.
 Increase of floating population
 Additional strain on civic amenities like road, transport, communication, drinking
water, sanitation, and other facilities to meet the work force requirement
 Increase in demand for services like hotels, lodges, public transport, etc
 Employment opportunities for construction laborers, skilled and unskilled workers,
etc Economic up liftment of the area
 Raising of home rents and land prices and increase in labour rates
 Rapid growth of service sector will result in increase of incomes in the area
 More work to civil construction and transportation companies
 Expanding of services like retail shops, banks, automobile workshop, schools,
hospitals, etc
 Increase in literacy rates
4.2.7 Soil Environment
Impacts
83 | P a g e
Soil around construction site, haulage road, and workshop areas, will get compacted
due to transportation of man, machine and materials. Soil may also get contaminated
around construction site, machine maintenance area, fuelling station, and internal road
construction material storage & preparation site and haulage road.
During construction, soil becomes unconsolidated due to removal of stabilizing material,
such as vegetation and disturbance of stabilized existing grade resulting in loss of top
soil and also deposition in undesirable places.
Fuel and lubricants shall be stored at the predefined storage location. The storage area
shall be paved with gentle slope to a corner and connected with a chamber to collect
any spills of the oils.
 Fuel and lubricants shall be stored at the predefined storage location.
 The storage area shall be paved with gentle slope to a corner and connected with
a chamber to collect any spills of the oils.
 Construction vehicles and equipment shall be maintained and refuelled in such a
fashion that oil/diesel spillage does not contaminate the soil.
 All efforts shall be made to minimise the waste generation. Unavoidable waste
shall be stored at the designated place prior to disposal.
 To avoid soil contamination at the wash-down and re-fuelling areas, “oil
interceptors” shall be provided. Oil and grease spill and oil soaked materials are to
be collected and stored in labelled containers (Labelled: WASTE OIL; and
hazardous sign be displayed) and sold off to SPCB/ MoEFCC authorized Waste
Oil Recycler.
 To prevent soil compaction in the adjoining productive lands beyond the ROW, the
movement of construction vehicles, machinery and equipment shall be restricted to
the designated haulage route.
 Septic tank or mobile toilets fitted with anaerobic treatment facility shall be
provided at construction camp.
 Domestic solid waste at construction camp shall be segregated into biodegradable
and non-biodegradable waste. The non-biodegradable and recyclable waste shall
be sold off. Efforts shall be made that biodegradable waste shall be composted in
the mechanized and movable composter by the contractor. Non bio-degradable
and non-saleable waste shall be disposed off to authorized land fill site.
 Non-bituminous wastes should be dumped in borrow pits with the concurrence of
landowner and covered with a layer of topsoil conserved from opening the pit.
 Bituminous wastes will be disposed of in an identified dumping site approved by
the SPCB.
 When opening the site, care shall be taken to keep vegetation clearing at a
minimum.
 To avoid soil compaction along the transportation routes, only identified haulage
roads would be used for transportation.
84 | P a g e
 All constructional wastes would be collected and stored at designated places and
would be used in constructional activities and landscaping to the extent possible.
 To minimize disruption of soil and for conservation of top soil, the contractor shall
keep the top soil cover separately and stockpile it.
 After the construction activity is over, top soil will be utilized for landscaping
activity.
 Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt development.
 Removal of plantation as little as possible during the land development and re-
plantation of bare areas after the project developed.
 To avoid the soil contamination at the wash down areas, oil interceptors shall be
provided.
4.2.8 Biological Environment
Negligible impacts on the flora and fauna like removal of shrubs etc. are anticipated in
the core zone i.e. project site. In buffer zone, Todgarh Raoli Wildlife sanctuary is
located 3.37 km (W) from proposed project site. Habitat of the sanctuary is already
been discussed in chapter 3. There will be significant impact on the ecology of the
buffer zone i.e. the study area due to this upcoming industrial estate. A brief detail of
the impact is discussed in following sub-sections and impacts during the construction
phase on core zone (project site) and buffer zone (from project boundary to 10 km
radial zone) have been summarized in Table 4.1.
Impact on Terrestrial Flora
 Efforts will be maximizing to incorporate existing trees in the greenbelt
development plan wherever possible. Removal of herbs and shrubs are inevitable.
But development of temporary peripheral greenbelt along the boundary will
simultaneously reduce the effect of pollution. Local species will be selected during
the development of greenbelt to maintain the ecological balance of the Area.
 The flora species present at Todgarh Raoli wildlife sanctuary (buffer zone) may get
affected due to presence of industrial estate activities during construction and
operation phase if not mitigated properly. During construction phase temporary
barriers i.e plantation along the boundary, shed barrier, etc will be maintained at
site. Construction machinery and equipment will run such that generating noise
and emission in standard limits. Also, the dominant wind direction around the
project site is from NW-W towards SE-E and the wildlife is at west which results in
low emissions at wildlife sanctuary. RIICO in consultation with Forest Department
will undertake afforestation in eco-sensitive zone lying around the project site.
Impact on Terrestrial Fauna
 No niches or habitats mammalian species has been observed in the project site.
Grazing activity is observed at the project site. Thus, there will be a permanent loss
of these grazing lands. However, the project activity will have significant impact on
terrestrial fauna outside the project premises i.e at Todgarh Raoli wildlife
sanctuary.
Impact on Aquatic Ecosystem
 No Aquatic Ecosystem is observed within the study Area.
85 | P a g e
4.2.9 Rainwater Harvesting & Storm Water Runoff

All along the road network Industrial Area, storm water drains would be provided to
collect water during rains. The existing nala in the proposed project (west to east) would
be straightened to develop major storm water drain. All other natural nalas and other
storm water drains would be diverted based on natural gradient into the main/major
storm water drain to collect water during rains. They would adequately sized to prevent
flooding of the site .It is proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge
of roof top rainwater and rain water of paved surface at respective buildings. Treatment
for silt, oil & grease removal will be provided to rainwater harvesting pit. Overflow from
the harvesting pit and storm water of road / open space will be collected through road
side storm water drains.
Due to storm water and rain water harvesting measures 75% of precipitation of project
area may lead to natural drain, around 20% of precipitation is collected in rain water
harvesting structures and 5% will be collected in storage tanks for reuse.
4.2.10 Traffic Survey
Impact
No significant impact will be observed. According to traffic survey study, it was found
that the existing road width of NH 8, is sufficient to cater traffic load.
Mitigation Measures
 No traffic congestion will be there; as well planned network of internal roads is
envisaged in plan.
 For smooth flow of traffic inside the industrial area, roads with 45 m, 30 m, 24 m
and18 m ROW has been proposed. The main roads with 45 m ROW will be having
4-lanes with median.

4.3 Prediction of Impacts-Operation Phase

During the operational phase the implementation of environmental management plan will
be the responsibility of both RIICO and individual industries. Since the type of industries in
the proposed industrial area cannot be typically classified, thus the exact prediction of
impact is not possible. However, it can be said broadly that no Category A or B types of
industries as per EIA Notification, 2006 as amended upto 2011, is not envisaged. However,
from the past experience of RIICO it is being expected that Mineral Grinding, Marble
Processing, Engineering works, Mineral-based Industries will come up in the proposed
Industrial Area. Based on this assumption the prediction of environmental impact due to the
proposed project has been carried out to formulate a comprehensive environmental
management plan.
Impacts
Air pollution during operation pjase will be caused due to industrial operations and vehicular
emissions. Baggad Industrial Area is proposed to be developed Mineral Grinding, Marble
Processing, Engineering works, Mineral-based Industries which are less polluting in nature.
However, there may be some emissions from DG sets but these will be only used for back-
up. The impacts are expected to be localized or gets diluted to distance area due to open
field and good dispersion availability to air pollutants. Additionally, adequate air quality
management and control systems will be installed to prevent air pollution.
Mitigation
Individual Industries will install their own air pollution control measures in their respective
units. It will be mandatory for all the industries in the proposed Industrial Area to obtain
Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate from RSPCB under section 21 of Air
(Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981. Strict compliance with the standards and
condition of RSPCB and CPCB will be mandated, wherever applicable and necessary.
All material will be transported by vehicle in cover. Internal roads will be maintained in a
good conditions and locally found gravel will be used as a protective layer on exposed soil
to reduce the dust emission. Vehicular speed inside the project area will be restrained to 20
kmph to reduce the possibility of emissions. Tree plantation within respective unit and
peripheral area is made to arrest spread of fugitive dusts. Parking provision for commercial
and personal vehicles will be the responsibility of individual occupant.
Provision is made for 15m wide green belt all along the periphery and individual units will
maintain 33% green area of the total plot area following the MoEF&CC guidelines for
category 7(c) projects. Area of 3.672 ha will be reserved for plantation. RIICO has planned
to plant about 16288 nos. of trees in total. RIICO in consultation with Forest Department will
undertake afforestation in eco-sensitive zone lying around the project site.
Impacts
88 | P a g e
As discussed in Chapter 2, the proposed water requirement for the proposed Industrial
Area will be met through groundwater extraction. RIICO will obtain prior permission from
Central Groundwater Authority (CGWA) for abstraction of groundwater.
The waste water generation from proposed industry is minimal. Sewage is likely to be
generated from these plants as the prime liquid effluent. Engineering industry is likely to
generate water soluble or metal finishing effluent. Uncontrolled discharge of these can
however cause land pollution.
Mitigation
Industrial Wastewater: Based on the data collected from RIICO of its operational industrial
areas, the water requirement in the proposed project during operation phase will be about
1203-KL/day. Expected industries proposed at this are will follow zero discharge scheme,
so there will be no need for CETP.
Management of industrial wastewater will be the responsibility of individual industries.
Individual industries will install the effluent treatment plant (ETP) and sewage treatment
plant (STP) as per their process and utilities requirement. All the units will adopt the zero
discharge philosophy as per the conditions in land allotment letter issued by RIICO to the
individual industries. No treated water outside the plot premises will be allowed. It will be
mandatory for all the industries to obtain Consent to Establish and Consent to Operate prior
to operation of the industry from RSPCB under Section 25/26 of Water (Prevention and
Control of Pollution) Act, 1974. Strict compliance with the standards and condition of
RSPCB and CPCB will be mandated, wherever applicable and necessary.
Stormwater Management: Storm water drainage system of 17 km length will be constructed
for proper channelization of stormwater during the operation phase. This will recharge the
groundwater table. As per the prevailing rules of allotment of RIICO, all the proposed
industries will required to construct water harvesting structure, which should be almost 60-
70% of total land area. For the remaining area (common services), the storm water drains
will be constructed in such a manner to harvest the rainwater in existing pits, small ponds of
this area as well as nearby area. Each pit will be attached to a bar screen chamber to
arrest the unwanted dust particles. Stormwater discharge point will be marked on site plan
of every plot during the allotment to individual industries. Stormwater discharge will not be
allowed by RIICO except from the marked location.
Impacts
The proposed unit are unlikely to generate significant noise except due to engineering
operations, DG set operations and vehicular movement. Since most of these activities
except vehicular movement will be in closed areas and will comply with the corresponding
noise regulation and ambient noise level criteria, impact on noise environment is expected
to be insignificant. Vehicular speed will be regulated and will have intermittent noise also
which will also not cause any significant increase in ambient noise level.
It is expected that all the industrial units shall comply with the Noise Pollution (Regulation
and Control) Rules, 2000 and provide adequate noise control measures in the plant
89 | P a g e
machineries and DG sets, if used for power backup. Apart from that each individual
industrial unit shall provide adequate greenbelt as per the stipulated consent conditions by
RSPCB within their plant premises.
Mitigation
All the industrial units shall comply with the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules,
2000 and provide adequate noise control measures in the plant machineries and DG sets,
if used for power backup.
Apart from that each individual industrial unit shall provide adequate greenbelt as per the
stipulated consent conditions by RSPCB within their plant premises. Apart from that, RIICO
is going to provide green areas and road side plantation to attenuate the noise levels, these
will act as noise barriers. The impact of noise generated from the various industrial units on
their employees will be envisaged to be maintained within the prescribed statutory norms.
4.3.4 Land Environment
The main impact on land environment is the generation of waste and its management.
Municipal solid waste and hazardous wastes depending on the activity of the individual
industries will be generated from the proposed industrial area.
Waste management would be the responsibility of individual industries. Individual industry
will provide system for municipal solid waste collection, storage and disposal. Each industry
shall have to comply with the Municipal Solid Waste Management Rules, 2000 and
amendments therefore.
Approximately 2000 persons will be involved during the operation phase of the project.
Taking into consideration approximately 0.15 kg/person/day of municipal solid waste
generation, the total municipal waste generation in the proposed industrial area will be
about 300 kg/day.
Hazardous Waste Management
During operation, phase hazardous waste management would be the responsibility of
individual industries. Prior to the commencement of production, each unit shall take
authorization for storage, handling and transport of hazardous waste, as per the Hazardous
Waste (Management, Handling and Trans-boundary Movement) Rules, 2008 and
amendments thereof, from RSPCB. The industrial units will ensure that recyclable wastes,
such as waste oil, used oil etc. will be provided to oil recyclers authorized by RSPCB,
incinerable waste (calorific value more than 2500-kcal/kg) will be given to common
incineration facilities approved by RSPCB and all other hazardous waste shall be sent to
common hazardous waste land fill site approved by RSPCB.
4.3.5 Biological Environment
Impact on terrestrial flora is negligible in core zone as the industries likely to come in the
proposed industrial area are not air pollution intensive. But, due to presence of wildlife
sanctuary 3.37 km from the project site, significant impacts are anticipated. According to
MoEF&CC guidelines for Cat 7(c) projects, 15 m wide greenbelt buffer will be developed by
90 | P a g e
RIICOto develop aesthetic environment as well as to provide air and noise pollution barriers
along the periphery of the project site and also 33% green area of the plot area will be
developed by individual industrial units. Apart from that there would not be any impact on
aquatic flora and fauna due to its distance from the project site. Predicted impacts during
the operation phase of the project have been presented in Table 4.2.
4.3.6 Traffic Survey
Impact
No significant impact will be observed. According to traffic survey study, it was found that
the existing road width of NH 8, is sufficient to cater traffic load.
Mitigation Measures
No traffic congestion will be there; as well planned network of internal roads is envisaged in
plan.
For smooth flow of traffic inside the industrial area, roads with 45 m, 30 m, 24 m and18 m
ROW has been proposed. The main roads with 45 m ROW will be having 4-lanes with
median.
91 | P a g e
4.3.7 Socio-economic Environment

Impacts
Socio-economic environment will have positive impacts due to the proposed project like
creation of job opportunity, infrastructure development, economic development of the
region etc.
Mitigation
Creation of Job Opportunity
During Operational phase, there will be both Direct and Indirect employment generation.
About 2000 persons will get direct employment opportunity in the industrial units, out of
which about 1000 persons will be skilled laborers. Besides, it is expected that the indirect
92 | P a g e
employment generation will be of the order of approximately 10,000. This will open up a
huge job opportunity to the people of the surrounding villages and towns.
Infrastructure Development
The proposed project along with industrial development will also facilitate the development
of infrastructure of the surroundings. Grid Sub Station for Power supply will be developed.
Well planned storm water drainage system will be developed. These will indirectly induce
the infrastructure development of the surroundings.
Development of Industrial Profile of the Area
The proposed project will catalyze the industrial development of the area by attracting a
considerable percentage of Capital of the state. The industrial development in this area will
work as a catalyst for overall development of the area and nearby villages, due to inflow of
people.

5 PROJECT BENEFITS
This chapter details the associated project benefits due to the proposed project with
respect to the improvements in the physical and social infrastructure, employment
potential for skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled people and other tangible benefits linked
with the project.
5.1 Prelude
The proposed project of proposed industrial estate will cause various short/ long term and
primary/ secondary impacts on the Study Area. These are externalities of the proposed
project investments on the proposed project in the study area. There is however mitigation
measures and EMP proposed, non-conformance to which will lead to much higher costs in
terms of social and environmental concerns than the cost of the proposed mitigation
measures. In addition to that, overall infrastructure development due to this project and the
facilities which will come up after commissioning of the project will substantially support the
development of the whole area. The project benefits due to the proposed project are
described in the following sections:
5.2 Infrastructure Development

The proposed project will help in the development of infrastructure for sitting the industrial
estate with commercial facilities, which will provide a total of 266 industrial plots, with
different plot sizes. This infrastructure development will provide a support for the upliftment
of the overall area. Hence, due to the project the overall area will get better road
connectivity and other supporting infrastructure.
5.3 Industrial Development

It is proposed to develop the Baggad Industrial Area as a hub for Mineral Grinding, Marble
Processing, Engineering works, Mineral-based Industries and Other Miscellaneous less-
polluting industries. No category A or Category B type of industry as per EIA Notification,
14th September, 2006, as amended on 1st December, 2009 is anticipated.
5.4 Employment Opportunities

It is expected that, during construction phase the requirement oflabour will be 75 persons
per day. Local labours will be employed from the surrounding villages. A temporary labour
camp also maybe provided as per the situation. However, the responsibility of constructing
a labour camp, if the need be, will lie with the Civil contract awardee.
During Operational phase, there will be both Direct and Indirect employment generation.
About 2000 persons will be directly employed by RIICO itself for maintenance of the
industrial area, among which 500 persons will be skilled labour. Besides, it is expected that
the individual industries may generate employment opportunity for approximately 10,000
persons in total.

6 ADDITIONAL STUDIES
This chapter provides mitigation and control measures to attenuate or eliminate
environmental impacts, which are likely to be caused by the proposed project. An
Environmental Management Plant (EMP) has been developed to mitigate the potential
adverse impacts and to strengthen the beneficial environmental impacts during the
construction and operation phases. The institutional capacity of Baggad Industrial area
reporting requirement to fully implement the mitigation measures have also been
described in this chapter.
6.1 Introduction
It is imperative to conduct risk analysis for all the projects where hazardous materials,
either as raw material or the product are handled. The risk assessment is carried out here
as a few hazardous materials will be handled in the RIICO Area.
The following have been addressed as part of the risk analysis.
 Introduction
 Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis
 Risk Reducing Measures
Hazard Identification and Risk Analysis discusses about the various types of hazards
associated with the operation of the Plant due to process, storage & handling, human
errors, electric failures and natural calamities. It also presents the calculated frequencies of
occurrence of different accident scenarios for the identified potential hazard occurrence in
the industrial area and the details of consequence modeling/analysis for the identified
potential accidents/disaster scenarios. Risk Reducing Measures are based on the
calculated frequencies and consequences.
6.2 Objective
The principal objective of the study is to identify the potential hazards from the proposed
facility and estimate the effects of the hazards on people and property within the vicinity of
the proposed industrial area premises.
The consequences resulting due to accidental release of toxic & flammable gases and
leakage of fuels, will provide data for developing strategies to prevent accidents right from
design to operational phase. This will also generate information for formulating a
meaningful Disaster Management Plan (DMP).
A risk analysis is defined as an assessment of the likelihood of a release of HAZMAT
(hazardous materials) and the consequences that may result, based on information
gathered during the hazard identification and vulnerability analyses. Risk analysis requires
evaluation of existing base and local community plans, response capabilities, and previous
incidents.
 In order to determine the risk factor at each facility as the base, the following information
was evaluated:
Page 97
 Procedures for storing, handling, shipping, and transferring of HAZMAT;

 Facility information including: physical features and location of storm and sanitary sewer
systems;
 Site measures for managing and controlling HAZMAT releases; and,
 Base emergency response and preparedness programs.
6.3 Methodology
The Risk Analysis Study was carried out under the following task heads:
6.3.1 System Study
The system description covers the plant description, storage & handling of fuels / chemicals,
etc.
6.3.2 Hazard Identification
The hazards associated with the proposed industrial area have been discussed in terms of
material & process hazards.
6.3.3 Frequency of Hazard Occurrence
Based on the available international statistics and in-house risk database, the frequencies of
occurrence for the different accident scenarios were determined. The frequencies were derived
from the historical databasethat has been checked with the possible hazard scenario identified
during hazard identification.
6.3.4 Consequence Analysis
Based on the identified hazards, accident scenarios and the frequency of occurrence,
consequence modelling was carried out for calculating the spreading distances (zone of
influence) or risk distance for Pool fires and Explosions etc.
6.3.5 Risk Reducing Measures
Necessary risk reducing measures have been suggested based on the consequence scenarios.
The main hazard potentials in the proposed industrial area are categorized as below:
 Material hazards; High Speed Diesel (HSD), Light Diesel Oil (LDO), as an auxiliary
fuel for start-up and flame stabilization, and coal as raw materials used in the
proposed Cement Plant .
 Process hazards due to loss of containment during handling of hazardous materials or
processes resulting in fire, explosion, bursting of cyclones due to high pressure in the
pre-heater circuit, etc
 Mechanical hazards due to "mechanical" operations such as welding, maintenance,
falling objects etc. - basically those NOT connected to hazardous materials.
 Electrical hazards: electrocution, high voltage levels, short circuit, etc.
Out of these, the material and process hazards are the one with a much wider damage potential
as compared to the mechanical and electrical hazards, which are by and large limited to very
small local pockets.
Page 98
6.4 Fire and Explosion Index

Fire, Explosion and Toxicity Indexing is a rapid ranking method for identifying the degree of
hazard. In preliminary hazard analysis, chemical storages are considered to have Toxic and Fire
hazards. The application of FETI would help to make a quick assessment of the nature and
quantification of the hazard in these areas. However, this does not provide precise information.
 Respective Material Factor (MF),
 General Hazard Factors (GHF)
 Special Process Hazard Factors (SPH)
The above-mentioned parameters are computed using standard procedure of awarding
penalties based on storage handling and reaction parameters. The application of FETI would
help to make a quick assessment of the nature and quantification of the hazard in these areas.
However, this does not provide precise information.
 It can be used to classify separate elements of plant within an industrial complex.
Before indexing is done, the plant is divided into plant elements. Depending upon the
material in use, material factor is decided upon. A number of parameters, such as
exothermic reactions, handling hazards, pressure of system, flash point, operating
temperature, inventory of flammable material, corrosive property, leakage of points
and toxicity are taken into consideration in determining a plant/ equipment /operation
hazard. A standard method of awarding penalties and comparing the indices is used.
 However, this method does not give absolute status of the equipment or section. But it
can comparatively identify hazards among others.
 These risks must be controlled by the development of a safe system of work, which
can be defined as the set of controls necessary to minimize the risks associated with
the work.
Furthermore, it is recommended that additional measures for safety be taken. These measures
include inspecting all other piping and appurtenances for damage and corrosion to prevent the
unexpected leakage of HSD, LDO and Petrol establishing an Emergency Plan, Employee
Emergency Plans and Fire Prevention Plans." Following are the recommendations:
 Store in tightly closed containers in a cool, well-ventilated area away from Water, Heat,
Combustibles (such as wood, paper and oil) and light.
 Store away from incompatible materials such as flammable materials, oxidizing
materials, reducing materials, strong bases.
 Use corrosion-resistant structural materials and lighting and ventilation systems in the
storage area.
 Wood and other organic/combustible materials should not be used on floors, structural
materials and ventilation systems in the storage area.
 Use airtight containers, kept well sealed, securely labeled and protected from damage.
 Use suitable, approved storage cabinets, tanks, rooms and buildings.
 Suitable storage may include glass bottles and carboys.
Page 99
 Storage tanks should be above ground and surrounded with dikes capable of holding
entire contents.
 Limit quantity of material in storage. Restrict access to storage area.
 Post warning signs when appropriate. Keep storage area separate from populated
work areas. Inspect periodically for deficiencies such as damage or leaks.
 Have appropriate fire extinguishers available in and near the storage area.
The following measures are suggested for reducing the risk involved in pipeline systems.
 Preventive Maintenance:
 Routine inspection of equipment/facilities at the unit.
Instruments: All the instruments like pressure, temperature transmitters/gauges and alarms
switches and safety interlocks should be tested for their intended application as per the
preventive maintenance schedule. Similarly, the emergency shutdown system should be tested
as per the preventive maintenance schedule.
6.5 Risk Mitigation Measures

The materials handled at the proposed installation are inflammable and reactive substances and
based on the consequence analysis; the following measures are suggested as risk mitigation
measures.
 The storage area, process area as well as road tankers loading/unloading areas
where there is maximum possibility of presence of flammable hydrocarbons in large
quantities, it should be ensured that combustible materials are not placed here such as
oil filled cloth, wooden supports, oil buckets etc. to reduce the probability of
secondary fires in case of release.
Hydrocarbon, smoke and fire detectors should be suitably located and linked to fire fighting
system to reduce the response time and ensure safe dispersal of vapours before ignition can
occur.
 Tank fires result in little damage at ground levels. Damage at tank height is such as to
damage adjacent tanks. Hence tank cooling provisions, particularly upper sections of
the tank must be ensured to prevent explosion. Foam for arresting roof fires must be
started immediately.
 Pool fires resulting from tanker/pump/pipeline leakage are dangerous since the liquid
pool becomes unconfined. Training in fire fighting, escape action, operation of
emergency switches etc. is vital.
 Pump loading line failures have also a possibility of causing major damage. Strict
inspection, maintenance and operation procedures are essential for preventing
escalation of such incidents.
 Emergency procedures should be well rehearsed and state of readiness to be
achieved.

6.6 Disaster Management Plan (DMP)

6.6.1 General
A major emergency in a plant is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of
life. It may cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside
the plant. Sometimes, it would require the assistance of outside agencies.
 Emergency may be caused by a number of different factors, e.g. plant failure, and it
will normally manifest itself in three basic forms, viz fire, explosion or toxic release.
6.6.2 Definition of Disaster
A Disaster is called when following one or the other or more incidents occur or:
 Risk of loss of human lives-ten or more in one single situation
 A situation which goes beyond the control of available resource of the plant
 Loss of property as a consequence of the incident is over Rs. 1 Crore and/or bears a
potential to the above
 A situation apparently may not have much loss but its long-term severity can affect
loss of life, production and property. Disaster occurs due to the following causes:
 Emergencies on account of: Fire, Explosion, Spillage of toxic chemicals, Electrocution
 Natural calamity on account of: Flood , Earth quake / Cyclone / Storm / Cloud burst /
Lightning
 External factor on account of : Food poisoning, Sabotage
6.6.3 Identification and Assessment of Hazards
This stage is crucial to both on site and off site emergency planning and requires to
systematically identifying what emergencies could arise in the plant. These should range from
small events, which can be dealt with by plant personnel without outside help to the largest
event for which it is practical to have a plan. Experience has shown that for every occasion that
the full potential of an accident is realized, there are many occasions when some freak event
occurs or when a developing incident is made safe before reaching full potential.
6.6.4 Guidelines for DMP
6.6.4.1 Formulation of DMP and Emergency Services
M/s RIICO shall formulate a DMP for better and safe management of the proposed industrial
area. The DMP is related to the final assessment and it is the responsibility of the plant
management document including the following elements.
 Assessment of the size and nature of the events foreseen and the probability of their
occurrence.
 Formulation of the plan and liaison with authorities, including the emergency services.
 Procedures for raising the alarm and communications both within and outside the
works.
 Appointment of key personnel and their duties and responsibilities, especially for works
incident controller and works main controller.
Page 101
 Emergency control centre:

 Action on-site
 Action off-site
The plan is prepared to set out the way in which designated people at the site of the incident
can initiate supplementary action either inside or outside the works at an appropriate time. An
essential element of the plan must be the provision for attempting to make safe the affected
unit, for example by shutting it down. On a complex site, the plan includes the full sequence of
key personnel to be called in from other sections or from off site.

7 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

This chapter provides the proposed environmental monitoring program for the proposed
project to assess the environmental attributes after the commissioning of the project.
7.1 Prelude
The main objective of environmental monitoring program is to check the efficacy of the EMP
(Environmental Management Plan) and implementation and take corrective action needed. A
well defined environmental monitoring program would be followed for the proposed
development of Baggad Industrial Area. It would be ensured that trained and qualified staff
supervisors, the monitoring and sampling of ambient air, DG set & Boiler stack gases, common
sewage and trade/Industrial effluents, noise etc. to see that prescribed standards laid down /
obtained. The monitoring program will be done in two phases
 Constructional phase
 Operational phase
7.1.1 Constructional Phase

The proposed Industrial Area envisage the setting up of major components is mechanical and
electrical equipments for common utilities. The constructional activities involve clearing of
vegetation, mobilisation of constructional material and equipment. However, mobilisation of
constructional material & equipment for excavation of earth etc. will be involved. The
constructional activities are expected to last for a short period. The generic environmental
measures that need to be undertaken during project construction stage are given in the

8 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

This chapter provides mitigation and control measures to attenuate and/or eliminate
environmental impacts, which are likely to be caused by the proposed project. An
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) has been developed to mitigate the potential
adverse impacts and to strengthen the beneficial impacts during the construction and
operation phase.
8.1 Introduction
The proposed development of Baggad Industrial Area needs to be intertwined with utilization
of natural resources within the limits of permissible assimilative capacity. The Environmental
Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in the proposed
Industrial Area. Hence, it needs proper Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to meet
these objectives. The Environmental Management Plan is an action plan aiming to control
pollution at the source level to the possible extent with the available and affordable
technology followed by treatment measures before they are discharged. It encompasses the
mitigation measures that are proposed in order to synchronize the economic development of
the study area with the environmental protection of the region.
8.2 Environmental Management During Constructional Stage

The impacts during the constructional Stage of the proposed Industrial Area on the
environment would be basically of temporary in nature and are expected to reduce gradually
on completion of the constructional activities.
8.2.1 Air Quality Mitigation Measures

For the proposed Industrial Area, levelling and grading will be carried out, where ever
possible to maintain the natural elevations they will not be disturbed, only levelling activity
will be carried out for providing roads, sewage network, storm water system, and places
required for providing buildings for administrative, production/manufacturing plant and other
utility erections. According to the engineering assessment; most of the excavated material
shall be reused within the proposed Industrial Area. Most of the construction dust will be
generated by the movement of carrying vehicles on unpaved roads. Unloading and loading
of constructional materials shall also act as a potential source for dust nuisance. The control
measures proposed to be taken up are given below.
 Water sprinkling on main haul roads in the proposed Industrial Area will be done, this
activity will be carried out at least twice a day, if need arises frequency will be
increased on windy days, in this way around 50% reduction on the dust contribution
from the exposed surface will be achieved.
 The duration of stockpiling will be as short as possible as most of the material will be
used as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.
 Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the proposed
construction site as barrier for dust control.
Page 111
 Tree plantations around the boundary will be initiated at the early stages by
plantation of 2 to 3 years old samplings using drip irrigation so that the area will be
moist for most part of the day.
 All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin / plastic sheet,
unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.
 To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighbourhood the
external part of the building will be covered by plastic sheets
Given the implementation of proper control measures for dust suppression, no adverse
impacts are expected and compliance with the Ambient Air Quality is achieved at ASR’s (Air
pollution Sensitive Receivers) at all time.
8.2.2 Water Quality Mitigation Measures

During the development of proposed Industrial Area necessary precautions will be taken, so
that the runoff water from the proposed site gets collected to working pit and if any over flow
is, will be diverted to nearby greenbelt / plantation area. At the time of construction in the
proposed Industrial Area, all the equipments washed water will be diverted to working pit to
arrest the suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for constructional
purposes, and for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission, etc. The waste generated
from the proposed project site work shop, will be segregated like used oil, lubricants, etc and
disposed to authorized recyclers the waste like soiled cotton, paper, etc will be disposed to
municipal bins or sold out to the authorised agencies. The domestic wastewater generated
from temporary toilets used by the work force will be treated through sewage treatment plant
and reused. Therefore, impact on water quality due to the proposed Industrial Area would be
insignificant.
8.2.3 Noise Mitigation Measures

Noise generating equipment will be used during day time for brief period of its requirement.
Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, where ever possible the noise
generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Temporary thin sheets
of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the noise generating activity or all around the
proposed site as barrier for minimizing the noise travel to surrounding areas. Therefore,
impact on noise environment due to proposed Industrial Area would be insignificant.
All vehicles entering into the proposed site will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not
blow horns unless it is required. Personal protective equipment like earmuffs, helmets
covering ears would be provided to the workers working near noise generating equipment
and would see that workers use the protective gadgets regularly.
8.2.4 Solid Waste Mitigation Measures

The solid waste generated during constructional period being predominantly inert in nature,
construction and demolition waste does not create any chemical or biochemical pollution.
However maximum effort would be made to reduce, reuse and recycle them. The most of
Page 112
the solid waste material will be used for filing/ levelling of low-lying areas. All attempts will be
made to stick to the following measures.
 All construction waste shall be stored within the proposed site itself. A proper screen
will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered.
 Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as
possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.
 Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, levelling, making roads/
pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land
filled.
 The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate number
of skip containers/ trolleys on hire.
The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of
the separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high
potential for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have quality standards for the recycled
materials. Construction waste can be used in the following manner.
 Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible
and depending upon their conditions.
 Sale/ auction of materials which cannot be used at the proposed site due to design
constraint.
 Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal, used cement bags, etc can be sold out to the
authorised agencies.
 Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as levelling, under coat of
lanes where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.
 Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low lying areas.
 Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material
 The unearthed soil can be used for levelling as well as for lawn development
 The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for levelling in the building or
can be disposed off
 The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be
disposed off to the authorised agencies.
8.2.5 Ecological Aspects

In the proposed project site, no major vegetation is present and hence there will not be any
negative impact on the existing plantation. However, the proponent is going for plantation
along the boundary during construction activity. A comprehensive green belt programme will
improve the ecological condition of the region.
8.2.6 Site Security

Adequate security arrangement would be made to ensure that the local inhabitants and the
stray cattle are not exposed to the potential hazards of construction activities.
Page 113
8.3 Management during Operational Stage

Necessary control measures will be undertaken at the design stage to meet the statutory
requirements and towards minimizing environmental impacts. The design basis for all
member industries will lay special emphasis on measures to minimize the effluent
generation and emission control at source. The specific control measures related to
gaseous emissions, liquid effluent discharges, noise generation, solid waste disposal etc.
are described below:
8.3.1 Air Quality Management

a) Reduction of emissions at source
To control the dust particulates from the stacks to meet the MoEF&CC standards
through appropriate air pollution control equipments are proposed. To control SO2 and
NOx emissions from DG set of member industries with sufficient height is proposed to
meet the MoEF&CC guidelines.
b) Air pollution Control
The main sources of air pollution from the proposed Industrial Area are Diesel Generator
(DG) & boiler emissions. The Diesel Generator (DG) & Boilers are being proposed &
operated by the member industries in the Industrial Area. The appropriate capacity of
DG set & Boilers are calculated for total IA and kept as backup power during power
failure & emergency and other purposes. The air pollution control measures to be
adopted are summarized in Table 9.1.
Table 9.1 Air Pollution Control Measures

Air pollutant Source Control
PM10/PM2.5/SO2/NOx & CO DG Set Stack height and air pollution control
equipments meeting MoEF&CC
regulations
Process Emissions Of Fugitive in nature Standardization of Equipments and
Member Industries / during material flow accessories (Engineering Standards)
PM10/PM2.5/SO2/NOx & CO DG sets & Boilers Of Stack height and air pollution control
Member Industries equipments meeting MoEF&CC
c) Particulate Emissions
The Permissible AAQ standard as per Ministry of Environment and Forests for Industrial,
Residential and other areas are 60 µg/m³ for PM - (<2.5 µm) and 100 µg/m³ for PM (<10
µm) using Respirable/Fine Dust Sampler (RDS) by gravimetric method.
The common DG Set & Boiler activities of member industries operating in the proposed
Industrial Area, as part of an agreement - must include the provision air pollution control
equipments to attain the prescribed limits of NAAQ Stds 2009 Indus. Resd, Rural &
Others for Particulate Matter (2.5 & 10 µm)
Page 114
d) Control of sulphur dioxide emissions

To minimize the sulphur dioxide emission on ambient air, the stack height for letting of
flue gases at safe dispersion height has to meet the standards laid down by MoEF&CC.
The majority source of SO2 emission will be due to due to DG set and boiler operations
by the member industries
8.3.2 Water and Wastewater Quality Management

a) Water Management
The source of water for the proposed Industrial Area is ground water. The major part of
this water will be supplied to the member industries used for domestic requirement.
b) Wastewater Generation
It is necessary /recommended to install full-fledged treatment plant for treating the
industrial effluents and sewage generated by the member industries & from common
utilities in the proposed Industrial Area. But all the upcoming member industries may be
small and medium and not having their financial capacity to install full-fledged treatment
plant, they are discharging their substandard effluent on land and due to that the
problems of ground water pollution in the said area may be created. Hence, it is
necessary /recommended to install Common Effluent and Sewage Treatment Plants
(CETP/CSTP) for treating the industrial effluents and sewage generated from such type
of small and medium scale industries.
A Common Effluent and Sewage Treatment Plants (CETP/CSTP) has been
conceptualized and recommended for effective treatment and disposal of effluents from
the proposed Industrial Area to meet the statutory requirements for disposal and reuse.
8.3.3 Rain Water Harvesting and Storm Water Management

All along the road network of Industrial Area, storm water drains would be provided to
collect water during rains. The existing nala in the proposed project (west to east) would
be straightened to develop major storm water drain. All other natural nalas and other
storm water drains would be diverted based on natural gradient into the main/major
storm water drain to collect water during rains. They would adequately sized to prevent
flooding of the site.
It is proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge of roof top rainwater
and rain water of paved surface at respective buildings. Treatment for silt, oil & grease
removal will be provided to rainwater harvesting pit. Overflow from the harvesting pit and
storm water of road / open space will be collected through road side storm water drains.
The rainwater harvesting pits will be provided near major built up areas, so that the roof
water can be directly sent to nearest Rainwater harvesting pit. The excess water if any
from the rainwater harvesting pits is diverted to storm water drains.
Due to storm water and rain water harvesting measures 75% of precipitation of project
area may lead to natural drain, around 20% of precipitation is collected in rain water
harvesting structures and 5% will be collected in storage tanks for reuse.
Page 115
Under CSR activity to improve the recharging capacity of the aquifer, greenbelt
development and construction of check dams along the natural drain will be taken up.
8.4 Noise Level Management

All the noise generating equipments in the Industrial Area must be designed not to exceed
the noise levels 85-90 dB (A) as per the OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration) Standards. The equipments shall be provided with acoustic shields or
enclosures to minimize the sound level inside the member industries of the proposed
Industrial Area. The greenbelt will be developed to prevent noise generation beyond the IA
or boundary. The following measures are suggested to keep the noise levels within the
permissible standards in member industries.
 Noise barriers will be placed around the stationary noise generating equipment of
the Industrial Area and also along the side of moving objects.
 All noise generating machines like pumps, compressors, etc shall be properly
serviced and mounted on anti vibration pads to reduce the noise generation.
 The DG set shall be provided by Acoustic enclosure.
 Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles.
In addition to this, the entire open area and in the proposed Industrial Area boundary shall
be provided with adequate green belt to minimize the noise levels.
The proponents of member industries during operation of their plants would monitor the
noise levels within and outside the plant on regular basis to attain national standards for air
quality with respect to noise are strictly adhered to. Corrective action would be initiated
immediately in case of any deviations are found during the course of monitoring.
8.5 Solid Waste Management

The waste generated by the member industries / manufacturing units can be classified as
Manufacturing Process Waste – May fall under the hazardous waste category Waste from
Utilities such as ash, paper & plastic and other packing waste Pollution Control facilities-
Primary ETP sludge etc., All the member industries coming up in the proposed Industrial
Area, With respect to the category and type of waste, member industries will segregate and
store the waste temporarily in an earn marked area, if required will utilize the services of the
Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility (CHWMF). All the hazardous waste from
member industries will be transported to CHWMF facility for treatment and for further safe
disposal as per the statutory requirement and procedures. Safe storage and transportation
of the produced solid and hazardous waste is the total responsibility of the member industry.
Municipal Solid Waste would be collected and stored in an earn marked storage yard and
further hand over to the authorized facility for treatment and disposal by the member
industries & by the developer.
Page 116
8.6 Green Belt Development

In order to comply with the MoEF&CC guidelines for greenbelt development within the
proposed Industrial Area, RIICO is planning to develop thick green belt of tall and evergreen
plants 15m along the periphery and on the either sides of the roads within the individual
industrial units of the Industrial Area and additional greenbelt will be developed under CSR
activity in nearby open areas (Schools, gardens etc.). The width of the shelter belt will vary
in different areas depending on the availability of land. The greenbelt with a density of about
1000 plants per hectare will be developed. If the area is suitable, three storey or three tier
plantations are also planned.
RIICO will also instruct and make an agreement (MOU) with member industries to develop
green belt @ 33% inside and along the periphery of the member industries.
All plants are locally adapted and the present site can support their growth with suitable
horticultural practices. Sufficient space, resources and man power for development and
maintenance are provided in the plan.
Green belt development is one of the most effective environmental pollution control
measure. Trees play vital role in the environment in preventing the horizontal dispersion of
the pollutants to the surrounding areas. They are very effective in trapping the pollution
causing agents viz. dust and gaseous pollutants. They are also considered to be excellent
indicators of excessive ground level concentrations. The green belt is being proposed for the
following objectives.
 Mitigation of fugitive dust emissions
 Noise pollution control
 Prevention of soil erosion
 Balancing eco environment
 Aesthetics
Apart from the bulk plantation in vacant areas, roadside avenue plantations, parks will also
be taken up. The placement of the plants would be designed as follows:
 Trees growing up to 10m or more in height with thick canopy cover and perennial
foliage would be planted around the proposed Industrial Area.
 Planting of trees would be done in rows with minimum three rows encircling
perimeter of the installation. While planting the trees care would be taken that the
installation structure would be difficult to see through foliage when seen from a point
outside the green envelope. For preventing the horizontal dispersion of pollutants, if
any, the trees planted in alternate rows would fall in straight line.
 Trees would be planted on roadside for containment of vehicular traffic emissions
and fugitive emissions due to the movement of vehicles.
 Tree trunk being free foliage up to a height of 2 to 3m, it is proposed to grow shrubs
in front of trees so as to give coverage to the open portion.
 Local Species would be planted in patches along the entire green belt to work as
an indicator of pollution potential.

8.7 Traffic Management Plan

The proposed industrial area is abutting to the National Highway-8. Therefore no approach
road is required to get access to the industrial area. A village road currently goes along the
project site, which will be developed by RIICO. No traffic congestion will be there; as well
planned network of internal roads is envisaged in plan.
For smooth flow of traffic inside the industrial area, roads with 45 m, 30 m, 24 m and18 m
ROW has been proposed. The main roads with 45 m ROW will be having 4-lanes with
median.
8.8 Solar Streetlights

In many instances lighting at night can be a costly and complicated matter. Issues such as;
no available grid power or expensive trenching and cabling requirements can prevent
adequate lighting being installed; Damage to the area requiring lighting is also a problem as
with conventional lighting systems; footpaths and gardens need to be ripped up to run power
cables. Solar streetlights are fully self-contained, so when you choose to install one there
are no trenches, no external cabling and no need to connect to the main power grid. With
absolutely no power bills and very low maintenance these solar streetlights will pay for
themselves. The Luminary delivers 900 lumens of very useful lighting for many
environments.
8.9 Corporate Social Responsibility

At present, administrative statement is not issued for this industrial area. The provision of
1% for still development fund and 2% for EDC is kept in administrative statement, thus total
4% of Rs 2,36,61,378/- (amount of government land) i.e. Rs 9,46,455.00 will be taken under
CSR, in administrative statement.
8.10 Environmental Monitoring Programme

The purpose of the monitoring programme is to ensure that the specified mitigating
measures defined in the EMP are complied with and leads to the desired benefits for the
target area and its population. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP and the

9 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
This chapter concludes the findings that emerged from the environmental assessment
study and summarizes the key points to be addressed to ensure the environmental
sustainability of the project during the construction and operation phases.
9.1 Prelude
The present study was aimed at identifying the potential environmental impacts due to the
various project activities, assessment of the impact with and without mitigation measures,
and at developing environmental management and monitoring plans for proper mitigation of
any adverse environmental impact. In this study, the various activities likely to take place
during the construction and operation phases of the project were analyzed in relation to the
baseline condition of the different environmental components. The mitigation measures
proposed for the contractors and the project proponent have also been reviewed and the
potential residual impacts discussed. The key points considered in this study are described
in the following sections:
9.2 Regulatory Compliance
The project is yet at its technical investigation stage. Prior to its implementation, it will be
necessary to acquire all the necessary clearance from the Government of India, as per the
applicable national regulations. Key clearances include obtaining the No Objection
Certificate from the RSPCB under The Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act,
1974 and Rules, 1975; The Air (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act, 1981 and Rules,
1982; and Environmental Clearance from the State Level Environmental Impact
Assessment Authority (SEIAA) - Rajasthan, under the EIA Notification, 2006, The
Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 and Rules, 1986. In addition to that, all the industries,
which will come up in the proposed Industrial Area need to take NOC from RSPCB in the
form of Consent to Establish & Consent to Operate. Authorization for Hazardous Waste
Management will also be required under the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling
and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008 from RSPCB by individual industrial units, if
applicable.
9.3 Baseline Conditions
The monitoring of the existing environmental conditions of the proposed project site and its
close vicinity has been established with respect to physical, biological and human
environment. The air quality of the area meets the prescribed NAAQS applicable for the
industrial, residential and rural Areas. The background noise levels were also found within
the standards as most of the Study Area is not developed at present.
The water quality also meets all standards for use in domestic and industrial applications.
The geology of the project area is of varied nature; however it is not prone to floods. In
addition to that, there is no sensitive ecosystem in the vicinity. No rehabilitation and
resettlement issue is emerging with the selected project site.
9.4 Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures
Page 121
The project entails various impacts on the study area, some negative and some positive.
The impacts will be caused by the construction activities and other industrial activities
during the construction and operation phases, respectively. Various impacts identified
during the study have been provided mitigation measures for better environmental
management conditions. In addition to that, the developers have also been given duties
and responsibilities in the EMP to monitor the proper implementation and to ensure the
mitigations of any adverse impacts.
9.5 Recommendations
 Based on the EIA conducted, the following recommendations are made:
 System of periodic auditing and reporting shall be adopted during the construction
period to ensure that the contractors adhere to the EMP.
 The project proponent and its team of consultants and contractors are urged to
develop a strategy for effective communication with local people.
 The construction team/ developer should effectively follow the suggestions made in
the EMP and/ or any other environmental measures so as not to damage the
environment of the project area.
 Occupants of the Industrial Area shall have to adhere to the conditions stipulated in the
environmental clearance as well as in consent/ authorization from RSPCB.
 Since regulations are fast changing in India, the project proponent should keep
themselves updated with respect to applicable laws and take appropriate actions in
case the provisions in some regulations undergo change.
