(IV) Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA studies

Terms of reference for Environment Impact Assessment study is arrived after the scoping

study, which is explained above. Core zone is the proposed project site and the buffer zone

is the 10 Km radius from the edge of the site premises.

1- Scheme for environment attributes.

The baseline studies shall be carried out during summer season

a. Micro Meteorology: One weather station shall be installed at/ near to the project site to measure wind speed, direction, temperature, rainfall, humidity and cloud

cover at an interval of 30 minutes. Other details like inversion height, stability

class shall be taken from nearby IMD Observatories.

b. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring: It shall be monitored at 8 locations for following

parameters: PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO, and heavy metals. Ambient Air Quality

Monitoring will be carried out for twice a week for 24 hours for one complete

non monsoon season as per National Ambient Air Quality standards for the

above parameters. Location shall be selected keeping in view the topography of

the area and also the upwind, downwind, crosswind directions along with

sensitive areas to cover various distances from the core zone. Dust fall shall be

also measured in both core as well as buffer zone.

Isopleths shall be generated for predicting the change in ground level

concentration and also predict the level, distance and direction of highest GLC.

c. Surface Water Monitoring: 2 locations shall be selected for surface water

sampling. These samples will be analyzed for Physo-chemical parameters

including heavy metals.

d. Ground Water Monitoring: 8 locations shall be selected for Ground water

sampling. These samples will be analyzed for Physo-chemical parameters

including heavy metals. The sampling points cover the hydraulic gradient as

prevalent in this area and also cover hand-pumps, dug-wells and bore-wells.

e. Soil Analysis: 8 soil sampling locations shall be selected from three different

levels (at 30, 60 and 90 cm) and shall be analyzed separately for the

parameters such as, grain size, pH, salinity, electrical conductivity, organic

carbon, NPK, Na, Mg, Ca, Cl-, Sulphates, F- and heavy metals.

Page 14: 6(Form-1 for TOR 18 sep 2015environmentclearance.nic.in/writereaddata/modification/...New Delhi Project Proponent: M/s BHARAT LNG LIMITED Andhra Pradesh Environment Consultant: Vimta

f. Noise: 8 locations shall be selected for noise sampling inside the plant premises

and in the buffer zone. These locations will be selected based on the high noise

areas within the existing plant premises.

g. Traffic: 3 locations shall be selected for traffic survey based on the high traffic areas in the vicinity of the proposed site and the road routes affected by the

project. Marine traffic will also be studied.

h. Ecology: Terrestrial and aquatic ecology shall be studied in the buffer zone and available secondary data will be also studied.

i. Socio Economic Survey: The survey shall be carried out in the core and buffer

zone area and available secondary data shall be utilized.

2- The impacts of the air pollution will be dealt in EIA by conducting micro

meteorology study and base line concentration of the concerned pollutants like

PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, CO, and heavy metals. Necessary modeling exercise will be

done to know the impact on the air environment.

3- Since the LNG Handling Facility will be based on zero discharge of effluents, there

will be negligible impact on the ground water and surface water. However to know

the impacts on the long term, necessary qualitative analysis will be done on the

present ground water and surface water sources.

4- The solid wastes generation from the proposed LNG Handling Facility will be

minimal and have negligible impact on environment. However, proper

environmental management plan for disposal and recycling will be in place.

Standard operating procedure for handling of solid waste and statutory

requirements of generation, storage, handling and transportation will be adopted.

5- Noise study will be carried out in the core/buffer zone and modeling will be done

to know the impacts. Necessary control measures will be explored as part of the

EMP.

6- Quantifiable impacts will be assessed on the basis of magnitude, prevalence,

frequency and duration and non-quantifiable impacts (such as aesthetic or

recreational value). The areas, where the project could have significant impact,

shall be identified, the baseline status of these shall be monitored and then the

likely changes in these on account of the construction and operation of the

proposed project shall be predicted.

7- Impacts will be predicted by using appropriate methods including mathematical

modeling for air and noise pollution.

8- Environmental Management Plan for mitigation of the environmental impacts shall

be prepared depending on the impact predictions. EMP shall involve detailed

description of the pollution control measures of the proposed expansion,

efficiency, conformance to the permissible limits, reliability and efficacy of

environment management plan.

The total expenditure on environment protection measures will be declared and

documented. EMP will also include the recurring expenditure for operation and

maintenance of the pollution control measures.
