Scope of Study
1. Field Sampling of environmental attributes at various representative
locations in the study area to establish the baseline environmental Status.
2. Estimate pollution loads that would be generated by the proposed project.
3. Predict incremental levels of pollutants in the study area due to proposed
project.
5. Evaluate the predicted impacts on the various environmental attributes by
using scientifically developed & widely accepted EIA modeling
methodologies.
6. Prepare an EMP to mitigate the predicted impacts.
7. Identify critical environmental attributes required to be monitored during
the project execution & to suggest post project monitoring.
Project Size and Magnitude of
operation including resources
Land requirement – 1300 acres
100- sludge
Wind rose diagram shows that predominant winds are mostly from W(16.2%),
WSW(15.8%) and SW (13.7%)
Air Quality –
AAQ study of 10km radius around the proposed plant forms the
baseline env. Status
Sources- Traffic, Urban and rural activities.
The design of monitoring network in the air quality survelliance
programme has been based on the foll. Consideration.
• Meteorological conditions on synoptic basis
• Drainage pattern.
• Locations of residential areas representing different activities.
• Sample were taken as grab sample and analyzed for various parameters to
compare with the IS:10500 for Ground water source and IS:2296 (Class-C)for
Surface sources.
• Samples for Chemical analysis collected in polythene carboys.
• Samples collected for metal content were acidified with 1ml HNo3.
• Samples for bacteriological analysis collected in Sterilized glass bottle,.
• Parameters like temp, Do were analyzed at the time of sample collection.
Results –
Surface water Quality –
• pH – 6.7- 6.8
• TDS – 196mg/l – 348mg/l
• DO – 6.2 -6.8mg/l
• Chlorides – 14.2 – 78 mg/l
• Sulphates – 3.0 – 7.9 mg/l
Surface quality does not indicate any industrial contaminations
Ground water Quality –
7 bore well and 2 open well water sample have been considered for sampling
• pH – 7.1 – 7.8
• Total hardness – 130 – 986 mg/l
• Chlorides – 14.2 – 428.9 mg/l
• Sulphates – 0.6 – 96.1 mg/l
• TDS – 198 – 1986 mg/l
Ground water quality in the study area does not indicate any industrial
contamination
Soil Characteristics –
Compared with IS :2720 & Method of Soil analysis Part-1, 2nd edition, 1986
(American Society for Agronomy and soil Science Society of American).
Noise level survey –
Observation
Day time noise level – 43.4 dB – 64 dB
Night time noise level – 39.4 dB – 58.2 dB
• Land use
• Soil
• Topography
• Terrestrial
• Air Quality
• Water quality
• Noise level
Impacts during operational phase -
Dust emission expected from coal storage yard, coal conveyer belt area, ash
dumping areas, transportation of fuel and solid waste.
Fly ash is important air pollutant. Therefore, ESP with ≥99.9
% efficiency shall be provided to prevent ash dispersion into ambient air.
HCSD system of ash stacking will be practiced
No dust emission are envisaged from dump areas.
Fuel received through rail line and solid waste to dyke area through pipe
lines.
Inner roads are asphalted to reduce dust.
Boilers & cooling towers are high noise generating equipments in the Plant site
Therefore the occupational noise exposure to the worker in the form of 8hourly
time Weighted average will be maintained.
Environmental Management Plan
During Construction phase
Ecological Management –
The greenbelt having vegetation density of 1500 tree/ha will be developed.
Monitoring on
• Air emissions
• Noise
• Wastewater discharge
• Soil erosion
• Drainage and effluent management
• Waste Management
• Non-routine events and accidential releases
• Health
• Environmental Mangement Cell/unit
• Loss of flora and fauna
Project Benefits
• Availability of quality power
• Improvements in the physical infrastructure
• Improvement in the social infrastructure
• Environmental Potential
• Provide employments to the nearby people
• Locality development like road, transportation, educational, medical
facilities
• Overall project change living standards of the village people
