is growing day by day. Considering the rate of increase of demand, it is expected that M.S.
manufacturing unit will perform well and will have no difficulty to market its products.
The Indian steel industry has entered into a new development stage from 2007-08, riding
high on the resurgent economy and rising demand for steel.
Rapid rise in production has resulted in India becoming the 4th largest producer of crude
steel and the largest producer of sponge iron or DRI in the world.
As per the report of the Working Group on Steel for the 12th Plan, there exist many
factors which may carry the potential of raising the per capita steel consumption in the country,
currently estimated at 55 kg (provisional).
These include among others, an estimated infrastructure investment of nearly a trillion dollars, a
projected growth of manufacturing from current 8% to 11-12%, increase in urban population to
600 million by 2030 from the current level of 400 million, emergence of the rural market for
steel currently consuming around 10 kg per annum buoyed by projects like Bharat Nirman,
Pradhan Mantri Gram Sadak Yojana, Prime Minister Awaas Yojana among others.
At the time of its release, the National Steel Policy 2005 had envisaged steel production
to reach 110 million tonnes by 2019-20. However, based on the assessment of the current
ongoing projects, both in Greenfield and Brownfield, the Working Group on Steel for the 12th
Plan has projected that the crude steel capacity in the county is likely to be 140 MT by 2016-17
and has the potential to reach 149 MT if all requirements are adequately met.
The National Steel Policy 2005 is currently being reviewed keeping in mind the rapid
developments in the domestic steel industry (both on the supply and demand sides) as well as the
stable growth of the Indian economy since the release of the Policy in 2005.
India is the world’s third largest producer of crude steel (up from eight in 2003) and is expected
to become second largest producer by 2016. The growth in the India’s steel sector has been
driven by domestic availability of raw materials such as iron ore and cost-effective labour.
Consequently, steel sector has been a major contributor to India’s manufacturing output.
The Indian steel industry is very modern with state-of-the-art steel mills. It has always strived for
continuous modernization and up-gradation of older plants and higher energy efficiency levels.
While plant closures are rare in India, the private sector is considered to be the engine of growth
in the steel industry and technological changes and modernization are taking place in the both the
public and private sector integrated steel plants in India.

2.5 Project description with process details
The industrial unit is planning for capacity expansion/augmentation integrating melting and
rolling facility and also increasing overall production capacity. Firstly, the preparation of stored
scrap would be carried out with sized, classified and accordingly stocked sent to the induction
furnace shell with the help of overhead traveling crane. Induction melting system has two shells
and operated with same electrical line. During operation of one shell, another one is fed with
scrap to decrease the process time. The induction furnaces are driven by electrical power.
The molten metal is tapped from hydraulically tilted induction furnaces into liquid steel ladle
having capacity 35 ton. The liquid steel in ladle is transferred, with the help of crane, to the
casting platform of the continuous casting machine capable to cast square billets from 100 to 165
mm square.
In caster the sliding gate is opened, and liquid steel starts to flow into 2 strand tundish located on
tundish car through the tundish nozzles into caster moulds where liquid steel start to solidify by

56 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
re-circulating water. The steel billet is completely solidified by water jets through the strand.
After the straightening and withdrawal mechanism, the produced billets are cut into desired
length. The billets in red hot condition are directly fed to the rolling mill for rolling into
different sizes and grade ofTMT bar.
A laboratory, equipped with a sample preparation equipment spectrometer analyzer is
incorporate to check the conformity of products with the chemical and quality standards
required.
Water is treated in the water treatment facilities and used as the makeup water. The industrial
cooling water is cleaned, cooled and re-used in the water facilities. A de-dusting plant, equipped
with high temperature filters is provided to clean the dust content of furnace exit gas.
The activities can be summarized as under-
a) Basic raw material (MS scrap and DRI) 356 MT/Day is used in induction furnace to
generate molten metal 298 MT/Day.
b) The melting will generate 17 T/Day of slag which will be processed in-house (crushing
followed by magnetic separation) to recover metallic contents. 4 T/Day of it is recovered as
useful metal (to be reused as input for melting furnace). Remaining slag 13 T/Day, will be
disposed-off and is usable as building material.
c) The induction furnace burning loss will be 46 T/day.
d) Subsequently, the molten metal will be casted into billets (in continuous casting
machine), which will be directly used for rolling (eliminating the need for reheating).
e) Reheating furnace will be operated with additional 59 MT/Day of billets for rolling mill
in order to produce total rolled product of 346 MT/Day.
f) Finishing operations of rolled product will result in 3-4% of cuttings and trimming which
are reusable as input feed to induction furnace.
g) Rolling operations will also result in generation of 9 MTD of mill scale (burnt/oxidized
top layer of the rolled product) which is sold to authorized recyclers.
h) The flue gas emissions from the induction furnace will be cleaned through gas cleaning
device (bag-house filter) and dust collected will be sold to recyclers or disposed-off as hazardous
waste through TSDF facility.
i) Water is required to meet process cooling water system requirement (15 KLD) and
domestic requirement (13KLD).

j) Total make-up water requirement will be28 KLD.
k) The cooling system will result in wastewater (due to blow-down/backwash/regeneration)
of 1KLD.
l) The domestic water consumption will result in generation of 10 KLD of domestic
wastewater.
m) The wastewaters (after treatment) will be disposed-off onto land for plantation and green
belt development.

2.7 Sources of Pollution and Control Measures
2.7.1 Air Pollution & its Mitigation Measures
Air in and over the plant area and beyond its boundaries gets polluted with gases, fumes and
dust particles emanating from the stacks, transfer points of conveying and handling equipment.
The air pollutants in the plant may be classified broadly into particulate matter like dust, fumes
etc. and gases like Sulphur dioxide, carbon monoxide, nitrogen oxide etc.
The flue gases are generated during melting of scrap. Quantity and Quality of flue gases
mainly depends upon type of scrap used in the furnace, i.e. with the degree of contamination of
scrap. These flue gases need proper treatment for removal of dust particles before being
discharged into the atmosphere.
The measure to control the air pollution will consist of primary and secondary fume extraction
system for the Induction Furnace through a bag filter and stack to ensure the emission
standards of CREP (Corporate Responsibility for Environmental Protection) of50 mg/m3.
Fumes generated in the Induction Furnace shall be captured through a roof mounted suction
hood which will be of swiveling type. Provision for secondary emission control from IF during
charging/tapping will be provided by side hoods.
The gases from the Induction passed through Spark Arrestor to catch any burning particle
before entry to Pulse Jet Bag Filter provided for dust cleaning purpose. Due to ingress of
ambient air into suction hoods of Induction furnace and forced draft coolers, the temperature of
the gas before inlet to Bag filter shall be below 100°C. The bag house shall be efficient for
filtration of dust by high pressure compressed air pulses. Dust content in the exhaust air shall
be limited to 50 mg/Nm3.
Dust collected in the Spark Arrestor & Bag House shall be transported to an overhead storage
bin through screw conveyors and bucket elevator. The clean & cool gas from the bag house
shall be exhausted through a chimney by an Induced draft (ID) fan. The height of the self-

supporting chimney shall be 30 m and will be provided with lightning arrestor, aviation
lightings, and stair ways with provision of measuring dust level in the exhaust gas.
The stack height will be as per CPCB norms to ensure ground level concentration of different
pollutants within permissible limit.

Fugitive Emission Source Mitigation Measures
1. From Induction Furnace Gaseous discharge will be passed through APC
System, Spark Arrestor, Bag filter, I.D. Fan and
emitted through chimney.
2. From Work Zone Area Fugitive emissions will be mitigated by the help of
dust suppression System.
The concept of extensive recycling of water has been adopted in the design of plant water
systems. Quality of circulating water will be maintained through dosing of conditioning
chemical. Blow down from plant water recirculation will be considered for cascaded reuse in
the plant water system as far as practicable and maintain minimum plant effluent discharge.
Through cascaded re-use of blow-down, the water scheme ensures practically zero discharge
from the industrial water circuit.
Water mainly required for only cooling purpose is fulfilled by pipeline supply. Hence no pre-
treatment of water is required, as the water is directly used. No wastewater will be generated
from the plant, only domestic wastewater is generated. Sanitary waste which will be treated in
STP and treated water will be used for plantation purpose. Industrial cooling water is mainly
consumed in evaporation in the cooling tower proper or at direct cooling system of continuous
casting machine strands.

3.3 Meteorology
3.3.1 Climate, Rainfall and Temperature
The climate of the district is sub-tropical to temperate depending upon the elevation. Four
major seasons that are the winter season extends from Nov to February; summer season from
March to June followed by the monsoon period extending from July to September end.
Maximum precipitation in the form of rain occurs during July to September. Average annual
rainfall in the district is about 982 mm with average of 60 rainy days. In the non-monsoon
season precipitation as snowfall also occurs in the higher reaches above 1500 m average msl,
the peaks of Churdhar remains covered by snow. During winter period rainfall also occurs in
lower hills and valleys parts. Mean maximum and minimum temperature of 30°C and 0°C
respectively.
3.3.1.1 Meteorological Scenario of the Study Area
Regional meteorological scenario helps to understand the trends of the climatic factors. It also
helps in determining the sampling stations in predicting the post project environmental
scenario. Meteorological Scenario exerts a critical influence on Air Quality as the pollution
arises from the interaction of atmospheric contaminants with adverse meteorological
conditions such as temperature inversions, atmospheric stability and topographical features like
hills, canyons and valleys.
The critical weather elements that influence air pollution are wind speed, wind direction,
temperature which together determines atmosphere stability. Hence, it is an indispensable part
of any air pollution studies and requires interpretation of base line information.
Wind speed and direction data recorded during the study period is useful in identifying the
influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. The meteorological data recorded at the
site for the study period is used for preparation of Wind rose on sixteen - sector basis (N, NNE,
NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE, SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW and NNW). The maximum
and minimum temperatures, relative humidity, rainfall recorded, wind speed and predominant
wind direction observed are given in Table 3-1.

3.4.4 Geology
Sirmaur District falls in Himalayan and Shivalik ranges which are fairly rich in mineral wealth
covering an area of 2670 sq. kms. The important minerals found are lime stone and gypsum.
These are being used as a raw material by the local industries as well as by the adjoining states.
Soil strata here lack salt and mineral constituents. Because of these characteristics around this
town the soil is unique for the cultivation of vegetables and for Pine (Chil) trees.
Due to youthful stage of rivers and khads on two sides and a good ration of rainfall causes soil
erosion. The soil erosion gets intensified in case of heavy rainfall in the catchment area of
“Markanda” and its surrounding khads due to such soil conditions. No building shall exceed
three storeys above natural ground level. An additional floor can be permitted purely for
parking purpose along vehicular road. The measure is expected to solve the problem of parking
of vehicle in a big way. Even if the building height is to go to more than 2 stories or otherwise
all building within the planning area are to be planned and designed keeping in view seismic
consideration as per the latest “Indian standard codes of practice”.
3.4.4.1 Topography
Sirmaur district lies in the outer Himalayan ranges commonly called as Shivalik between
77°01’12” and 77°49’40” East longitude and 33°22’30” and 31°01’20” North latitude. The

district is predominantly mountainous with deep valleys lying between ranges of varying
elevations.
Kala Amb is a small town and an Industrial Area in Sirmour District in the state of Himachal
Pradesh, India. Kala Amb is surrounded by Naraingarh Tehsil towards west, Pachhad Tehsil
towards North, Sangrah Tehsil towards North, Sadaura (Part) Tehsil towards South. Nahan,
Jagadhri, Panchkula, Solan are the nearby Cities to Kala Amb. This Place is in the border of
the Sirmaur District and Ambala District. Ambala District Naraingarh is west towards this
place. Also, it is in the Border of other district Yamuna nagar. It is near to the Haryana State
Border.
At present Kala Amb is an emerging town for industries as it hosts production units for Paper,
Metal, chemicals, thread mills and Air-Conditioners. This Town is on the border of Himachal
Pradesh and Haryana, hence half of the town falls in Haryana, and However the Industrial is
situated in Himachal only. Kala Amb is increasing in area due to increase in industrialization.
Now the boundaries of the town have reached till the Village Trilokpur which is famous for
Bala Sundri Temple in northern India.
The topography of the area is mainly plain with general slop towards North, Northwest and
East, South East direction.
3.4.5 Drainage Pattern of the area.
The entire area is near the Shivalik foot hills and has good slope from North-East to South-
West. The area is well drained and is frequented with seasonal shower which take the entire
rain water flows to river Yamuna.
3.4.6 Seismic Considerations
The entire district of Sirmaur falls under Seismic Zone IV as per the Seismic Zoning Map of
India (IS Code: 1893:2002) which makes it likely to be affected by earthquake shaking of up to
intensity VIII. The Main Boundary Thrust (MBT) fault passes across the district and this is the
continuation of the same fault which caused the 1905 Kangra earthquake. As mentioned in the
previous section, there are also several smaller faults that can also generate earthquakes of high
intensities within Sirmaur district.

3.4.7 Geology and Soil
Sirmaur District falls in Himalayan and Shivalik ranges which are fairly rich in mineral wealth
covering an area of 2670 sq. kms. The important minerals found are lime stone and gypsum.
These are being used as a raw material by the local industries as well as by the adjoining states.
Soil strata here lack salt and mineral constituents. Because of these characteristics around this

all building within the planning area are to be planned and designed keeping in view seismic
consideration as per the latest “Indian standard codes of practice”
Soils are vital natural resources on whose proper use depend the life-supporting system and
socioeconomic development of any country. More than 75 per cent of the geographical area of
the District is suffering from one or other soil degradation problem.
The main degradation problems observed was water erosion including topsoil loss and terrain
deformation, flooding and acidity. Therefore, major challenge before us is to reduce these
problems up to the tolerance limits for the sustainable agricultural development of the district.
This calls for scientific land use planning on watershed basis and its proper implementation
with the active involvement of politicians, Government officials and local farming
community. There is a need to select watersheds representing each of the agro ecological
situations of the district and develop these as models, which will act as wheels of agro-
technology transfer for the development of the adjoining areas. A large area of the district
has brown hill soils (Hapludolls, Hapludalfs and Udorthents) in gently sloping lands of
Lesser Himalayas and alluvial soils (Udifluvents and Eutrochrepts) in other areas. Rocky
outcrops on steep to very steep slopes are common.
The soils of district Sirmaur are medium to high in available nitrogen, low to medium in
available P & K. The organic carbon status of this district is medium to high. Most of the
vegetable growing areas are showing the deficiency of micronutrients particularly zinc and
boron. Rice growing areas in lower belt are also experiencing the deficiency of zinc. The
soils of hilly terrain of the district are prone to water erosion.

(textural analysis).
Grain size distribution: Texture indicates relative proportion of various sizes of primary soil
particles such as sand, silt and clay present in the soil. Based on their quantities present in the
soil sample and using the textural classification diagram. The textural classes of eight soil
samples are clay loam (moderately fine texture.)
Chemical Characters: The parameters considered for chemical analysis are: Soil reaction
(pH), Electrical conductivity (EC), Cations, like Calcium and Magnesium, Macro nutrients like
Available Nitrogen, Available phosphorus and available potassium.
Soil reaction (pH): The nutritional importance of pH is illustrated, thus hydrogen ion
concentration has influence not only on, solubility of nutrients, but also upon facility with
which these nutrients are absorbed by plants, even already in soil solution for e.g. Fe,Mn and
Zn become less available as pH rises from 4.5 to 7 to 8. At pH 6.5 to7.0 utilization of nitrate
and ammonia nitrogen becomes more available. In case of phosphorus it becomes less
available to plant as pH increases above 8.5, due to its fixation in exchange complex of soil.
For the eight-soil sample under consideration the pH ranges between 7.19 to 9.16 indicating
soils are neutral to strongly alkaline, and for balanced plant nutrient management, application
of organic matter like compost and composted manure to lower the pH of soils to 6.5 to 7.0 is
recommended.
Electrical conductivity (EC): The salt content of the soils is estimated by EC measurements,
and is useful to designate soils as normal or sodic (saline). Electrical conductivity is expressed
as µmhos/cm at 250C, µsmhos/cm or mmhos/cm or sm/cm. The EC of eight soil samples is

between 0.043to 1.525 mmhos/cm and are below the limits to be called as saline and hence the
soils are normal for crop growth.
Total Kjeldahl Nitrogen (TKN) Nitrogen is a part of all living cells and is a necessary part
of all proteins, enzymes and metabolic processes involved in the synthesis and transfer of
energy. Nitrogen is a part of chlorophyll, the green pigment of the plant that is responsible
for photosynthesis. Helps plants with rapid growth, increasing seed and fruit production and
improving the quality of leaf and forage crops. The available nitrogen in the eight samples
in question, as per analysis ranges between 0.26 to 0.78 % showing sufficient nitrogen
content for crop growth.
Available Phosphorus (P): Like nitrogen, phosphorus (P) is an essential part of the process of
photosynthesis involved in the formation of all oils, sugars, starches, etc. helps with the
transformation of solar energy into chemical energy; proper plant maturation; withstanding
stress, effects rapid growth, encourages blooming and root growth. The phosphorus content of
soil of eight samples ranges between 0.24 to 0.38 mg/100gm.
Available Potassium (K): Potassium is absorbed by plants in larger amounts than any other
mineral element except nitrogen and in some cases calcium, helps in the building of protein,
photosynthesis, fruit quality and reduction of diseases. The Potassium content of eight soil
samples ranges between 1.1 to 1.8 mg/100 gm.
Calcium:Calcium, an essential part of plant cell wall structure, provides for normal transport
and retention of other elements as well as strength in the plant. It is also thought to counteract
the effect of alkali salts and organic acids within a plant and soil acidity. The calcium content
of eight soil samples ranges between 62 to 246 mev/100gm soil.
Magnesium: Magnesium is part of the chlorophyll in all green plants and essential for
photosynthesis. It also helps activate many plant enzymes needed for growth. The magnesium
content of the eight soil samples ranges between 44 to 333 mev/100 gm.
As observed during field visit of 10 km buffer area from boundary of refinery. The soils are red
and lateritic, they occur as a catenary’s association in undulating and rolling terrains, which
differ in depth, texture, color and cropping pattern.

Soils of upland are comparatively coarser in texture, having red and yellowish color, shallow in
depth; soils are comparatively more acidic than those of lower terrains.
The soils of low lying areas, especially of bottom land (narrow valley) situation are formed on
colluvial and alluvial deposits. These are fine texture, deep pale yellow to greyish color.
Thus, as per analysis of soils data and field observation the land can be classified as class IIIes
land i.e. moderately good soils on gentle slopes (with terraces), subject to water erosion, as per
land capability classification (USDA) i.e. moderate land for sustained agriculture, with proper
terracing and application of manure, for correcting soil high alkalinity.
3.6 Water Environment
The water resources, both surface and groundwater play an important role in the development
of an area. Likewise, the water resources of the area have been studied to establish the current
status of water quality in the area.
3.6.1 Hydrogeology
Geologically, the rock formations occupying the district range in age from pre-Cambrian to
Quaternary period. Paonta valley is a narrow tectonic valley or dun and has fluvial and fluvio-
glacial sediments.
Hydro-geologically, the unconsolidated and semi-consolidated/ consolidated rock formations
form aquifers in the district. Inter granular pore spaces in the sedimentary formations and
secondary fissured porosity in hard rocks, topographical set up coupled with precipitation in
the form of rain and snow, mainly govern occurrence and movement of ground water. Porous
alluvial formation occurring in the valley area forms most prolific aquifer system where as the
sedimentary semi-consolidated formations and hard rocks form aquifer of low yield
prospect.Major parts of the district are hilly & mountainous with highly dissected and
undulating terrain. These areas are underlain by semi-consolidated and consolidated hard rocks
of Tertiary and pre-Tertiary period. Ground water potential in such areas is very low due to its
hydro-geomorphic set up. Springs are the main ground water structures that provide water
supply for domestic and irrigation in major rural and urban areas.
CGWB has drilled/constructed 11 exploratory wells in the valley area in the depth range of
90.00 to 163.00 m bgl. Static water level of the tube wells ranges from 2 m to 43.00 m bgl and
discharges ranges from 200 to 3220 lpm.

3.6.2 Water Quality Assessment
Water samples were collected from ground and surface waters within the study area. A total of
eleven samples were taken from different locations including surface and ground water bodies.
The samples were analyzed for physicochemical parameters. The ground water and surface
water sampling locations are shown in Figures below. The sampling and analysis of water were
carried out as per standard methods of water and waste water analysis (APHA). The results of
water analysis have been compared with IS: 10500-2012 drinking water standard to assess their
suitability for drinking purpose. Sampling locations for water samples are detailed in Table
3.5and the analytical results of the water samples are shown in, Table 3.6respectively.

3.7.3 Analytical Methods Followed for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
The brief methodology of the parameter analyzed is as follows:
I. Particulate Matter (PM2.5) :( CPCB Method) Particulate Matter (PM2.5) was analyzed by
Fine particulate sampler Envirotech Model APM 550. PM2.5 was collected on 47mm diameter
filter paper. The mass concentration of (PM2.5) fine particles in ambient air was calculated as the
total mass of collected particles divided by the volume of air sampled.
II. Particulate Matter (PM10): Particulate Matter (PM10) was carried out by Respirable Dust
Sampler Envirotech Model APM 460 BL. The cyclone of this instrument is used for
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12 MTeach in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
103 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
fractionating the dust into two fractions. PM10 dust is accumulated on the filter paper (8ʺ×10ʺ
size) while coarse dust is collected in a cup placed under the cyclone. PM 10 was calculated as
per IS: 5182 (Part 23):2006. The mass of these particles was determined by the difference in
filter weight prior to and after sampling. The concentration of PM10 in the designated size
range was calculated by dividing the weight gain of the filter by the volume of air sampled.
III.Sulphur Dioxide (SO2): SO2 was monitored with the help of APM 411 assembly attached
with APM 460 BL using the impringer. It was absorbed by aspirating a measured air sample
through a solution of Potassium tetra chloro mercurate (TCM). This procedure resulted in the
formation of a dichloro sulphite mercurate complex. The complex was made to react with para
rosaniline and methyl sulphonic acid. The absorbance of the solution was measured by means of
spectrophotometer.
IV. Nitrogen Dioxides: NO2 was monitored with the help of APM 411 assembly attached
with APM 460 BL using the impringer. It was collected by bubbling air through a solution of
sodium hydroxide and sodium arsenite. The concentration of nitrite ion produced during
sampling was determined color imetrically by reacting the nitrite ion with phosphoric acid,
sulphanilamide and NEDA and absorbance of highly colored azo-dye was measured at
540nm.

3.9 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
The variety and variability of organisms and ecosystems is referred to as biological diversity
or Bio diversity. Biodiversity is a term which has gained enormous importance in the past few
years. 'Biological Diversity' is "the variability among living organisms from all sources
including, inter alia, terrestrial, marine and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological
complexes of which they are part; this includes diversity within species, between species and
of ecosystems". In practice, 'biodiversity' is most often used as a collective noun synonymous
with nature or 'Life on Earth'(WCMC Biodiversity Series No 5, 1996).
The biodiversity, we see today is the result of billions of years of evolution, shaped by natural
processes. The vast array of interactions among the various components of biodiversity makes
the planet habitable for all species, including humans. There is a growing recognition that,
biological diversity is a global asset of tremendous value to present and future generations. At
the same time, the threat to species and ecosystems has never been as great as it is today.
Species extinction caused by human activities continues at an alarming rate. Protecting
biodiversity is for our self-interest and also for the future generation.

3.9.1 Ecological Impact Assessment
Ecological impact assessment (EcIA) is used to predict and evaluate the impacts of
development activities on ecosystems and their components, thereby providing the information
needed to ensure that ecological issues are given full and proper consideration in development
planning. Environmental impact assessment (EIA) has emerged as a key to sustainable
development by integrating social, economic and environmental issues in many countries.
EcIA has a major part to play as a component of EIA but also has other potential applications
in environmental planning and management. Ecological Impact Assessment provides a
comprehensive review of the EcIA process and summarizes the ecological theories and tools
that can be used to understand, explain and evaluate the ecological consequences of
development proposals.
Environmental impact assessment has become an integral part of development projects in India
ever since 1994, to formulate policies and guidelines for environmentally sound economic
development. Proper assessment of biological environment and compilation of its taxonomical
data is essential for the impact prediction, yet biodiversity is often inadequately addressed.
There is a growing recognition of the need of biodiversity considerations in environmental
impact assessments. Important barriers to the incorporation of biodiversity in impact
assessment include low priority for biodiversity and limitations in one or more of the following
areas: capacity to carry out the assessments; awareness of biodiversity values; adequate data
and post-project monitoring.
Consistent and regularly updated data on regional and local taxonomy and floristic and faunal
diversity of the areas are almost non-existent in country as diverse as India. An instant
information on biodiversity profile of the area, where the proposed project is setting up, is an
essential part of the baseline studies of EIA. In such a situation, good primary baseline
biodiversity survey is a prerequisite for the collection of reliable data. The professional ethic of
the Biodiversity practitioners should be their will and skill to conduct scientific field surveys.
These contributions towards biodiversity surveys may sometimes recognized as the actual
value additions in terms of new records or a new data base but are more often recognized in the
validation and updating of the existing information base.

Forests cover in Sirmaur district: Forest also plays an important role in the economy of the
district. Forest occupies an area of 48344 hectares out of the total geographical area of 2,
24,738 hectares. Major forest produce that comes from forests are in the form of timber,
firewood, katha, resin, fodder, herbs etc.The district is having 48344 Hectare forest area.The
forests of the district can be classified into seven broad types as follows:
1) Bhabar-Dun Sal Forest (3C/C2b(i)): This type occurs on the Dun and gentle Bhabar
slopes which are gravelly in nature or underlain by gravels and boulders fairly close to the
surface. The species which are characteristic of this type are Shorea robusta, Lagerstroemia
parviflora, Mallotus philippensis,etc.
2) Northern Dry Mixed Deciduous Forest (5B/C2): This type is characterized by the
presence of Anogeissus latifolia, Acacia catechu. The upper canopy is light but fairly even and
continuous in the climax form. The later condition is however, rarely encountered and
irregular, often broken canopy is met with.
3) Dry Deciduous Scrub (5/DS1): A low broken soil cover of shrubby growth, 3 to 6m high
including some tree species reduced to similar conditions, usually many stemmed from the
base is the common vegetation of this type. The main tree species are Acacia catechu, Butea
monosperma, Lannea coromandelica etc, and the bushes include Nyctanthes arbortristis,
Dodonaea viscosa, Woodfordia fruticosa, etc.
4) Lower or Siwalik Chir Pine Forest (9/C1a): The Pinus roxburghii(Chir) stands singly or
in groups with a scattered lower deciduous tree storey. These forests occur at the elevation of
800 to 1700m. At lower elevations it confines itself more to the cooler northern and shelter
aspects while on higher elevations it occurs all over, preferring ridges. This type occurs mainly
on Shiwalik conglomerates and sandstones.
5) Himalayan Subtropical Scrub (9/DS1): Over considerable areas in the Shiwalik Chir
zone, extending up to Himalayan Chir forest and down into the mixed deciduous forest.
Carissa spp, Dodonaea and Rhus parviflora scrub are common in this forest type.

6) Ban Oak Forest (Quercus incana) (12/C1a): This type occurs at elevation 1600m to
2300m on fairly deep, fertile loam soils. Quercus incana, Rhododendon arboreum, Lyonia spp
etc are quite common species under this forest type.
7) Oak Scrub (12/C1/DS1): The Oak and associated species are reduced to low stunted
unsound trees with bushes like Berberis spp, Crataegus spp, Prinsepia spp etc. This forest type
is found in Chamba, Kangra, Kullu, Mandi, Shimla, Sirmaur and Solan districts.

3.10 SOCIO ECONOMIC STUDY
3.10.1 Introduction
Social Impact Assessment is a major pre-requisite to begin any new project. The study area
consists of the core area and the buffer zone. The core area is where the project is expected to
come up and a buffer area encircling the project area with a radius of 10 kilometers from the
periphery of the project site. For every new project socio-economic impact assessment is
mandatory.
3.10.2 Study Area
The study area consists of industrial area and rural villages. There are total 85villages, fall within
10 Km radius of the project area. Among 85 villages 57 are within the state boundary of
Himachal Pradesh and rest 28 villages are under the boundary of Haryana.

For Socio-Economic Impact Assessment of the Project located at Village Rampur Jattan, Nahan
Road Kala-Amb, District Sirmaur (HP) collection of primary and secondary data has been
done. Accordingly, both qualitative and quantitative data was analyzed from secondary sources.
Census 2011 was the main source for collection of secondary data. Collection and evaluation of
baseline data for various socio-economic parameters in and around the proposed sites has been
done (within 10 km radius of the study area from the lease boundary). Villages within study
area were identified from survey of India toposheet. The location of villages within10 km
radius of boundary is given in figure below. There are 10 revenue villages falling under the
buffer zone area as mentioned in the list of villages in Primary Census Abstract 2011 and rest
47 villages are small hamlets falling under these Revenue Villages. These villages are within
thestate boundary of Himachal Pradesh.
There are 28 villages were falling under the state boundary of Haryana, District Ambala and
Tehsil Naraingarh. Among these 28 villages 22 villages are presentin the list of villages

3.10.4 Baseline Data
For impact assessment both primary and secondary data was collected. While primary data
was collected through census-cum sample survey in the core area and sample survey in the
buffer area, the secondary data was collected from administrative records, published reports
and websites. The study area is falling under the 10 Km buffer zone of Sirmaur, Tehsil
Nahan and as well as of Ambala District Tehsil Naraiangarh. So the details of both districts
are presented below.
According to the 2011 census Sirmaur district has a population of 529855. The male
population is 276289 and female population is 253566. The sex ratio of Sirmaur is 917.
Sirmaur District is having total population of about 5.29 lakh where the majority i.e. 89.22%
of the population lives in rural areas as compared to 10.78 % in urban areas. In this district
cultivators constitute the majority of the population. There is no major Industry located in the
area. The sex ratio of the district shows 52.14 % is male and 47.86% is female of the total
population.
According to 2011 population census Ambala has a total population of 1128350 persons.
Further 127689 of the total population are in the age group 0-6 years. The overall sex ratio in
the study area has been worked out to 885 females per 1000 males, which is less than the
national figure of 933 females per 1000 males. The male population is almost 53% of total
population whereas the female population is 47%. The sex ratio in rural Ambala is high than
Urban area. Population density is 722 persons.
According to 2011 census 81.75% are literate among the total population. Male literacy
constitutes 87.34% where female literacy is 75.50%. Schedule Caste population is more than
26.25% of total population in Ambala. There is no Schedule Tribe Population in Ambala.

CHAPTER-4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION
MEASURES
4.1 Introduction
Identification and evaluation of various potential impacts due to the proposed project on the
surroundings and the mitigation measures in respect of each of them are presented in this
chapter.
Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either adverse or beneficial.
Almost all the potential impacts which are temporary and short termed might occur during the
construction phase, whereas potential impacts during operation phase might have long term
effects. The potential impacts have been identified for the whole of study area (10 km beyond
plant boundary as impact zone) with respect to air, noise & vibration, water, soil, biological
and socio-economic environment. The mitigation measures which are required to negate the
adverse impacts are also discussed in this chapter environmental aspect wise.
The impact identification and prediction process aim to:
Identify potential source or cause of impact throughout the life of project
Characterize the potential impacts affecting the social, economic and environmental
attributes
Assess the potential of changing likelihood of impact through Environmental
Management Plan (EMP)
Prediction of the impacts due to the development, construction and functional activities
encompass the developmental processes to be undertaken during construction and
functional phases.
In the following sub sections, the potential impacts and magnitude of the impacts from the
project have been assessed and discussed in detail.
4.2 Impacts on Land Environment
The land use pattern of the project not change as land is already developed for industrial
purposes. The proposed project is for expansion and augmentation of integrating melting and
rolling facility within the existing plant premises only.
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12 MTeach in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
Page | 141SHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
4.2.1 Impacts during Construction Phase
Minor site excavation will be envisaged during construction of the expansion units. The
activities causing potential impact during construction phase on land use include leveling of
site, construction of related structures and installation of equipment and movement of heavy
machineries and vehicles. No significant adverse impact on the surrounding land use during the
construction period is envisaged. The construction activities will result in top soil displacement
to some extent in the plant area. Apart from localized construction impacts at the plant site, no
adverse impacts on soil in the surrounding areas are anticipated.
4.2.2 Impacts during Operation Phase
During operation phase, the activities of proposed plant will not change the soil quality. There
is no generation and dumping of industrial process wastes/solid wastes from the plant
operations and whatever solid wastes are generated are disposed either in recovery.
4.2.3 Mitigation Measures
Excavated soil during construction phase will be suitably used for land filling in low lying
areas. The top soil will be preserved and used for landscaping purposes and whatever solid
wastes get generated will be disposed of as either in recovery of iron or used as sand in road
construction or recovery of precious/ more valuable metals. Other solid wastes are sold to
market as low value products
4.3 Impacts on Air Environment
4.3.1 Impacts during Construction Phase
During the construction phase, dust (particulate matter) is expected to be emitted the main
pollutant from the haul roads and material handling. In this case, pollution emission sources
shall be distributed throughout the project site and will fall under the category of area source.
The land is already developed for industrial work so extensive site formation work is not
required. Vehicular emission of SO2, NO2, CO will add onto the air pollution. Movement of
vehicles on unpaved roads will also add onto the dust emission. Operation of DG sets will
generate air pollutants like SO2, NO2, CO. Fugitive emissions are envisaged such as dust in
construction phase only.
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12 MTeach in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
Page | 142SHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
4.3.2 Impacts during Operation Phase
Raw material will be transported in scrap form or as sponge iron by trucks and finished
product will also be transported by trucks. Hence, no emission is envisaged. Particulate and
fugitive emissions might arise from activities like of scrap, DG set power use and by the
movement of vehicle.
During the operation phase, there are four major categories of sources of air pollutants, they
are:
Emissions from manufacturing processes such as scrap melting in induction furnaces.
Fugitive emissions from material handling such as carrying molten metal filled ladles
and laying them in position on CCM machine by the EOT cranes.
Emissions (NOx, CO and PM) from vehicular movement.
Emissions (NOx, CO and PM) from Diesel Generator Set.
4.3.3 Mitigation Measures
The impact during construction phase will be reversible, marginal and temporary in nature.
Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment will help in controlling the
gaseous emissions. Water sprinkling on roads and construction site will prevent fugitive dust.
Over loading of the trucks will be avoided. Haulage roads, which are used for transportation
of material, will be maintained properly. These will be fortnightly bulldozed to level up for
smooth movement of vehicles. Utmost care and regular inspection schedule will be made to
prevent any fugitive emission of dust during transportation of materials. People working in
and around the dust generating area, will be provided with Personal Protective Equipment
(PPE) like dust mask to prevent inhalation of dust particles, and use of the same will be
strictly enforced during working hours.
During operational phase, air pollution control equipments will be used, paved roads will be
laid to prevent dust emission during vehicular movement. Adequate green belt development
along the road side and in the plant, premises will be provided for dust suppression. Regular
water sprinkling arrangement will be provided at the loading and unloading areas. Workers
working near the dust generating area will be provided with dust masks, which will be made
as mandatory to wear during working hours. Following mitigation measures will be taken to
reduce ambient air pollution.
The proposed stacks to comply with the applicable emission norms.

Page | 143SHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Adequate stack height of 30 m will be provided as per norms.
APCD system will be provided to minimize the emissions of dust and to maintain the
emissions within the prescribed limits.
Regular monitoring of emissions from all stacks and ambient air quality will be carried
out as per norms.
All air pollution control devices shall be well maintained to keep them running
efficiently.
Environmental management cell equipped with adequate manpower and provided with
budgetary funds allocation will be entrusted with the responsibility of ensuring the
efficient working of all environmental control devices.
4.4 Treatment Process

Page | 145SHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Suction Hood
The furnace is fitted with swiveling type Suction Hood of capacities adequate enough for efficient
suction of the total volume of flue gases generated from the furnace and either located on top of the
induction furnace or around its sides suitable for suction from both the furnace and from the ladle
while tapping of slag or tapping of molten steel.
Spark Arrestor
Primary Spark Arrestor: Its purpose is to remove large size dust particles and removal of live
red-hot particles/sparks.
Secondary spark arrestor: Involute Cyclone is used to remove medium size particles from flue
gases stream. This also removes live red-hot particles/sparks from the flue gases which are not trapped
by primary spark arrestor. The treated flue gases are discharged from top and dust is collected at the
bottom.
Bag House
The Bag filter Unit is a pulse type system where dust gets collected on the outer side of the bags while
dust laden gas passes from the outside of the bags to the inside of bags. Time set sequentially passed
pulses of compressed air from the top releases the collected dust on bags to the hopper below. The Bag
House removes fine particles and gases are fed to chimney. The entire mobility to the air from the
suction hood throughout the system up to release of gas to the chimney is provided by induced draft
centrifugal fan.
Ducting
Ducting has been provided in the system not only for conveyance of gases at appropriate velocities but
also to reduce the temperature by natural convection. These ducts will be cleaned of accumulated dust
which is very likely to settle in them because of its weight and turns in the duct system.
Id Fan
They have been provided for creating an adequate negative pressure in the system for efficient suction of
gases.
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12 MT each inexisting plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
Page | 146SHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Air Stack
A stack of 30 m height will be provided to release the treated gases into the atmospherefor thorough
dispersion and diffusion of released gases and particulate matter.
Process and Fugitive Emission and Control Measures
The plant will install air pollution control equipment’s to control particulate matter emissions from
process. For this, both primary and secondary emission control system is envisaged. Hot duct, gas cooler
and the cooled waste gases with temperature not exceeding 100 degrees Celsius will be taken to a pulse
jet bag filter. An induced draft fan will discharge the cleaned gas to atmosphere. For secondary emission
arising a hood near tapping will be provided and the gases will be taken to the same bag filter system
connected after gas cooler, which is connected to the primary hood. The suction will be controlled by
hydraulic dampers to control opening and closing of hoods. The collected dust of the APCD system will
be given to the recycler for Zinc metal recovery and dust from there will be sent to TSDF.
Fugitive emissions from the proposed plant would be significant due to activities like material handling,
transfer points of materials, loading of product and movement of vehicles. These operations generate
large quantity of dust. Specific instances of fugitive dust generation may include dust blown by wind
from the raw-materials stockpile, dust caused by vehicular traffic within the factory, dust leakage from
conveyors, conveyor transport points, storage hoppers and packers etc., Good housekeeping, proper
maintenance, wetting of dusty areas, use of enclosed storage wherever feasible etc., would considerably
reduce fugitive dust.
For the purpose of effective prevention and control of fugitive emissions, the proposed project shall be
implementing the following:
Water shall be sprayed on the material prior and during loading & unloading.
All transfer points shall be fully enclosed and provided with dust suppression systems.
All roads shall be paved on which movement of raw materials or products will take place.
Preventive measures shall be employed to minimize dust build up on road.
Conveyors shall be provided with conveyor cover.
Maintenance of air pollution control equipment shall be done regularly.
All the workers shall be provided with disposable dust mask.
Green belt will be developed around the plant to arrest the fugitive emissions.

4.5 Impact of the Transportation and Mitigation Measures
The transportation of raw materials and finished product is likely to create impact on surrounding
environment. The following point identifies the possible impacts and the mitigation measures to be
adopted.
I. Impact on Air Environment
The movement of heavy vehicles due to transportation of raw material causes re-suspension of
loose dust particles in air
Increase in PM10, SO2, CO and NO2 levels due to burning of fossil fuels.
Mitigation Measures:
Sprinkling of water to reduce fugitive particulate matter concentration.
Vehicle shall be thoroughly covered so as to prevent release of fine particulate in case of
accidental leakage.
Vehicle used for transportation shall comply with environmental standards and only vehicles
having Pollution under Control certificate will be put into use.
II. Impact on Land Environment:
During accidental leakage due to puncture of carry bags, containers, deposition of material on
top soil, land is a possibility.
Mitigation measure:
Vehicles shall be covered to prevent accidental leakage.
The area got contaminated shall be remediated through thorough scrapping or other measures.
III. Impact and Mitigation on Traffic Density:
The movement of vehicles will increase traffic density of the area.
However, the proximity of major road will alleviate possible congestion problems.
Proper tuning of vehicles shall be maintained to avoid traffic congestion and use of horns shall be
restricted in silent zone.
4.6 Traffic Analysis
Transportation Route:

adverse effect on the LOS. The LOS value from the proposed project may be change for Village road,
which is showing Very Good condition.
4.7 Air Quality Modeling
Air quality modeling has been done to predict the impact of industrial units on the ambient air quality so
as to quantitatively predict the impact on the ground level concentration of pollutants. The modeling has
been done for M/s Aditya Industries which plans to install two Induction furnaces each with capacity of
12 MT with production capacity of 86,400 MT/Annum and making the total capacity 1,03,680
MT/annum of Billets/Ingotsat village-Rampur Jattan, Nahan Road Kala-Amb, Distt. Sirmour (HP).
Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing mathematical model based on
a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for point sources for short term. In the present
case, AERMOD version 8.5 dispersion model based on steady state Gaussian plume dispersion and
developed by United States Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA] has been used for simulations
from industrial sources.
(A) Pollutants/Model Options Considered for Computations
The model simulations deal with the pollutant particulate matter emitted from the different point sources
and line sources.
(B) Model Options Used for Computations
The options used for short-term computations are:
The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always limited to that of the
mixing layer;
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12 MT each inexisting plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
Page | 150SHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Stack tip down-wash is not considered;
Calms processing routine is used by default;
Wind profile exponents is used by default, 'Irwin';
Flat and Elevated terrain is used for computations;
It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical transformation and that
there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;
Washout by rain is not considered;
Uniform Cartesian polar receptor grid system has been used for computations; and
The model computations have been done for 10 km.
Mathematical Modeling
The pollutant emitted is expected to undergo some removal processes in the atmosphere (such as
deposition and reaction). Since these processes of ‘reduction’ have not been modeled, it is expected that
the simulation made in this report represent concentrations on a higher or conservative side. In this
sense, the predicted concentrations should provide a very useful basis for rational assessment of air
quality impacts due to emissions from the existing projects. The objective of this modeling is to predict
incremental additions in the concentrations due to the process stack (including transportation) in the air
shed of 10 km radius.
Modeling Procedure
Prediction of ground level concentrations (GLC’s) for the process stack has been made by AERMOD
version 8.5 as per CPCB guidelines. It is US-EPA approved model to predict the air quality. The model
uses rural dispersion and regulatory defaults options as per guidelines on air quality models
(PROBES/70/1997-1998). For this study, uniform polar Cartesian grid and discrete Cartesian receptors on
flat and elevated terrain have been assumed. Meteorological inputs required are hourly wind speed and
direction, ambient temperature, hourly precipitation, relative humidity, global solar radiation, cloud cover
and ceiling height. The model details are as follows.
Gaussian Plume Model
The AERMOD View version 8.5 model is based on a numerical integration over the area in the upwind,
downwind and cross wind directions of Gaussian plume formula. This can be applied to the Point, Area,
Line, Volume sources (& other forms of area sources) simultaneously and their resultant incremental
concentration of the pollutant can be predicted.

Modeling Results:
In the present case model simulations have been carried using the hourly meteorological data. Short-term
simulations for both the stack and transportation were carried to estimate concentrations at the receptors to
obtain an optimum description of variations in concentrations over the site in 10 km radius. The incremental
concentrations are estimated for the monitoring period. For each time scale, i.e. for 24 hr the model
computes the highest concentrations observed during the period over all the measurement points.
Combined predicted incremental maximum concentrations for particulate matter is shown in Table 4.3 and
isopleths showing combined 24 hourly predicted ground level concentration (GLC) of PM10 Figure 1.

From the above graph it is shown that impact is mainly found at station situated in down wind
direction (as per meteorological data) and all the predicted concentration is below the NAAQS.
4.8 Impacts on Noise and Vibration
Noise generated during the construction period from operation of machineries like compressor,
compactors, concrete plant, cranes and transportation materials will be of short term in nature,
and it will be controlled by using machines equipped with silencers and regular maintenance of
the same. Similarly, the vibrations produced during this phase will be of low intensity, short term
and of intermittent nature. This is not expected to cause significant impact on the environment
and residents around the site.
4.8.1 Impacts during Operation Phase
Operation of machineries like conveyor, rotating machines during operation and DG sets will
result in generation of noise and vibration. The vibration arising out of generator will not have
significant impact though it is proposed to shield the generator area with noise and vibration
absorbing walls. Movement of vehicles will also contribute to noise though the generated noise
will be insignificant.

155 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
4.8.2 Mitigation Measures
Heavy machineries and DG sets will be operated during day time only. The machineries to be
used will be serviced and maintained to control generation of noise and vibration. Vehicles used
for transportation will be serviced regularly and maintained properly to avoid any generation of
unwanted noise.
Employees working in noisy environment will be made mandatory to wear ear muffs/ear plugs to
avoid any adverse impact of noise on them. Employees exposed to hand vibration while
handling/operating heavy machineries will compulsorily wear anti vibration gloves made up of
visco-elastic material.
4.9 Impacts on Water Environment
4.9.1 Impacts during Construction Phase
No major impacts will occur as the capacity enhancement will occur in the existing site. Water
during the construction phase will be meet from the pipeline water and through tankers.
4.9.2 Impacts during Operation Phase
Water for construction and domestic purpose will be drawn from pipeline supply of IADA, Kala
Amb.
Approximately 28 KLD water will be used during operational phase for industrial and domestic
uses of which 13 KLD will be for domestic purposes and 15 KLD for industrial use. This water will
used as makeup water for cooling tower to compensate for evaporation. Domestic waste water will
be generated and send to STP and will be resued for green belt development. Less water will be
used during production process and the spent water will not be drained outside the premises but
will be collected in a settling tank and recycled. Thus, the net consumption of water will be less.
Hence, no industrial effluent will be discharged.
4.9.3 Mitigation Measures
The sewage generated during the construction and operation phases will not be drained outside
the premises but to be collected in a settling tank and recycled. The water used for cooling the
kilns will be collected in tank and passed through cooling tower and will be reused for sprinkling
and dust supression.

4.10 Impacts on Biological Environment
Construction activities at the site involving human and vehicular movement will disturb aril and
wild animals in the area.
Impacts on Terrestrial Ecology
The impact on terrestrial ecology may be due to gaseous pollutants likely to emit i.e.
particulate matter, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of nitrogen (NOx), etc. Increase in
concentration of PM in the ambient air will cause the deposition of dust on surface of leaves,
leading to increase in pH of leaves as well as clog the stomata aperture and reduce the
chlorophyll content. The increased concentration levels of particulate matter, SO2, NOx, in
the atmosphere will, lead to decline in the rate of photosynthesis, thus retarding the growth of
plant. However, air quality modeling outputs study revealed that, the resultant concentrations
of particulate matter, Sulphur di-oxide and oxides of nitrogen are well within the prescribed
limits. The impact due to proposed project would be minimal as project activity will be
carried out within the plant boundary limit with proper control measures.
Terrestrial micro flora and fauna at the site are also affected. However, the adverse effect
are reduced by shortening the construction phase period and development of greenery in the
site. Further, there are no sensitive locations within the study area. Hence, no significant
adverse impacts are expected on biological environment.
There are no endangered flora and fauna species in the region. Vehicular movement during
night will be restricted to avoid adverse sound related impacts to birds and wild animals in the
region. Plantation is carried out to attenuate the dust pollution in the area. The project activities
are restricted to the project site except the transportation of raw material and products. There is
no discharge of solid or liquid wastes to the environment. Green belt and greenery will be
developed in the premise covering more than 33% of area. The plantation will comprise of
fruiting trees, soil improving and air pollution abatement tress. No eco sensitive receivers or
rare / endangered species of fauna were observed in the study area. Thus, the impacts on flora
and fauna will be insignificant.

Recommended Plants for Green Belt Development
Greenbelts are an effective mode of control of air and noise pollution, where green plants form a
surface capable of absorbing air pollutants and forming a sink of pollutants. Leaves with their
vast area in a tree crown, absorbs pollutants on their surface, thus effectively reduce pollutant
concentration in the ambient air. Often the adsorbed pollutants are incorporated in the metabolic
pathway and the air is purified. Plants grown to function as pollution sink are collectively
referred as greenbelts.
An important aspect of a greenbelt is that the plants are living organism with their varied
tolerance limit towards the air pollutants. A green belt is effective as a pollutant sinks only
within the tolerance limit of constituent plants. Planting few, known pollutant sensitive species
along with the tolerant species within a green belt however, do carry out an important function of
indicator species apart from function as pollution sink, greenbelt would provide other benefits.
Selection of plants for Green Belts
The main limitation for plants to function as scavenger of pollutants are, plant’s interaction to air
pollutants, sensitivity to pollutants, climatic conditions and soil characteristics. While making
choice of plants species for cultivation in green belts, due consideration has to be given to the
natural factor of bio-climate. Xerophytes plants are not necessarily good for greenbelts; they
with their sunken stomata can withstand pollution by avoidance but are poor absorber of
pollutants. Character of plants mainly considered for affecting absorption of pollutant gases and
removal of dust particle are as follows:
1. For absorption of Gases:
Tolerance towards pollutants in question, at concentration that is not too high to be
instantaneously lethal.
Longer duration of foliage
Freely exposed foliage
Adequate height of crown
Openness of foliage in canopy
Big leaves (long and broad laminar surface)
Large number of stomata apertures.
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
158 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
2. For Removal of Suspended Particular matter
Height and spread of crown.
Leaves supported on firm petiole.
Abundance of surface on bark and foliage
Roughness of bark
Abundance of axillaries hairs.
Hairs or scales on laminar surface.
Protected Stomata
Plantation along Road Sides:
Automobiles are the source of pollution of gaseous and particulate pollutants. Component of
green belt on road side hence should be with both absorbers of gases as well as of dust
particles. The choice of plants for roadside should include shrubs of height 1 to 1.5 meter and
trees of 3-5-meter height. Medium sized trees, alternating with shrubs are ideal for sorption of
particulates and gases.

4.11 Impact on Socio-Economic Environment
Critically analyzing the existing environmental status of the socio-economic profile and
visualizing the scenario with the project, the impacts of the project would be varied and may
generate both positive and negative impacts of the proposed project in the region that are stated
below.
Positive Impacts
No Rehabilitation
The villages and their inhabitants at the project site will not be disturbed from their settlements
due to the proposed project. Therefore, neither villages nor any part of village or any hamlet
will be disturbed during the project. As the project operations will not disturb or relocate any
village or settlement, no adverse impact is anticipated on any human settlement.
Increase in Job Opportunities
As per the survey it has been observed that the population in general does not have
opportunities of earning from employment so the project in general will help to provide direct
and indirect job opportunities for auxiliary and ancillary works etc.
No burden in the existing Infrastructure Facilities
Local work force will be given first preference in the activity due to which influx of the
outsiders is not envisaged or it will be very minimal. Thus, there will not be the necessity of
provision of housing facility for the local workers and not stressing on the existing civic
amenities of the area.
Improvement in Infrastructure
The activity will benefit the local people due to provision of more infrastructural facilities such
as developments of health facilities, plantation etc.

impact from the air emissions are controlled efficiently using air pollution control equipment
and stacks will be designed in such a manner that in future after the implementation of the
project, the air emissions will be well within the prescribed ambient air quality limits set forth
by regulatory agencies. The proponents of this facility will adopt effective control systems at
all the identified sources of emission.
Impacts on Agriculture
Productivity of crops may be deteriorated affecting the agriculture-based livelihood due tothe
pollution arising out of the project activity, if proper mitigation measures are notimplemented.

An environmental monitoring plan provides a delivery mechanism to address the adverse
environmental impacts of a project during addition of two Induction furnaces of 12 MT each
with total capacity 86400 MT/annum of billets/Ingots to enhance project benefits and to
introduce standards of good practice to be adopted. An environmental monitoring plan is
important as it provides useful information and helps to:
Assist in detecting the development of any unwanted environmental situation, and thus,
provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures.
Define the responsibilities of the project proponents, contractors and environmental
monitors and provides means of effective communication of environmental issues among
them.
Define monitoring mechanism and identify monitoring parameters.
Evaluate the performance and effectiveness of mitigation measures proposed in the
Environment Management Plan (EMP) and suggest improvements in management plan,
if required.
From the monitoring point of view, the important components are soil, water, air, noise and
occupational health and safety. The suggested monitoring details are outlined in the following

7.4 Risk Assessment
The safety and protection of people, equipment and the environment is a serious concern in the
manufacturing industries. Steel Plants have also recognized the significance of safe working
environment and are progressively trying to prevent hazardous events, avoid production
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
174 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
&manpower losses and other fallouts associated with industrial accidents by conducting risk
assessment, onsite &off-site management plan and adopting the safety measures as proposed.
This also assists industries to enhance employee knowledge of operations, improve technical
procedures, maintain accurate process safety information and increase overall facility
productivity. This Chapter, accordingly, gives an outline of the associated environmental and
other risk prone hazards, their assessment and remedial measures. It also describes an approach
to emergency planning to be adopted by the Plant management.
The objectives of environmental risk assessment are governed by the following which excludes
for measure.
Identifying the potential hazardous areas so that adequate design safety measures can be
adopted to reduce the likelihood of accidental events.
Identifying the stakeholders and evaluating their risk along with proposing adequate
control techniques.
Identifying the probable areas of environmental disaster which can be prevented by
appropriate design of the installation and its controlled operation.
Managing and emergency situation or a disastrous event if any, during the plant
operation.
Risk assessment is a systematic approach for identification, evaluation, mitigation and control of
hazards that could occur as a result of failures in process, procedures, or equipment. Increasing
industrial accidents, loss of life & property, public scrutiny, statutory requirements and intense
industrial processes, all contribute to a growing need to ensure that risk management is
conducted and implemented.
Managing a disastrous event would require prompt action by deployment of area specific
emergency plans by the operators and plant emergency staff using all their existing resources like
deployment of firefighting equipment, water sprays etc. Minimizing the immediate consequences
of a hazardous event include cordoning off, evacuation, medical assistance and providing correct
information to the families of the affected persons and local public to avoid rumors and panic.
The following terms related to environmental risks are defined before reviewing the
environmental risks.
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
175 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Terms Environmental Risk
Harm Damage to person, property or environment
Hazard Situation that poses a level of threat to life, health property or
environment. A hazardous situation that has come to pass is called
incident. Hazard and possibility interact together to create risk. An
environmental hazard is thus going to be a set of circumstances which
leads to direct or indirect degradation of environment and damage to the
life and property.
Risk The probability of harm or likelihood of harmful occurrence and its
severity. Environmental risk is a measure of the potential threats to the
environment, life and property.
Consequence Effect due to occurrence of the event which may endanger the
environment permanently or temporarily and, or, loss of life and
property.
Environmental
Disaster
The consequence is so severe that it can extensively damage any one
or all the four components of the environments of the environment,
namely
(a) Physicochemical,
(b) Biological,
(c) Human, and
(d) Aesthetics.
7.4.1 Identification of Hazards
This is an early check of major hazards, which are of high risk potential - including the potential
for disastrous interactions of the various plant operational activities. The checklist, though not
strictly speaking a Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) but would facilitate a full scale
HAZOP Study for final drawing up of risk management measures when the ‘design-freeze’
stage commences. Hazard is the associated term with material, which is a measure or the likely
hood of the human working with or studying the material in question. The entire probable
potential hazard is classified under different heads.

Fire hazards
Toxic gas release hazards
Explosion hazards
Corrosion hazards
Fire Hazards
Since the Stone Age term, fire is associated with fear. It is very dangerous if occurs in
uncontrolled manner. It should be clearly understood that when a liquid is used having flash
point below the normal ambient temperature, it could, in suitable circumstances, liberate a
sufficient quantity of vapour to give rise to flammable with air.
Toxic Hazards
Toxic substances affect in three ways by ingestion, adsorption & inhalation which are describe
in the chapter.
Corrosion Hazards
Corrosion is a chemical reaction-taking place at the surface of metal.
7.4.1.1 Potential Health Effects
Eye Contact: Airborne dust may cause immediate or delayed irritation or inflammation. Eye
contact with large amounts of clinker dust and dry cement powder can cause moderate eye
irritation, chemical burns and blindness. Eye contact with large amounts of gypsum can cause
moderate eye irritation, redness, and abrasions. Eye exposures require immediate first aid and
medical attention to prevent significant damage to the eye.
Skin Contact: Dust of clinker, gypsum and cement may cause dry skin, discomfort, irritation,
severe burns and dermatitis. Clinker dust and cement dust are capable of causing dermatitis by
irritation. Skin affected by dermatitis may include symptoms such as, redness, itching, rash,
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
177 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
scaling and cracking. Irritant dermatitis is caused by the physical properties of clinker dust
including alkalinity and abrasion.
Inhalation (chronic)
Risk of injury depends on duration and level of exposure. This product contains crystalline silica.
Prolonged or repeated inhalation of respirable crystalline silica from this product can cause
silicosis, a seriously disabling and fatal lung disease. Some studies show that exposure to
respirable crystalline silica (without silicosis) or that the disease silicosis may be associated with
the increased incidence of several autoimmune disorders such as scleroderma (thickening of the
skin), systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis and diseases affecting the kidneys.
Silicosis increases the risk of tuberculosis.
Ingestion
Internal discomfort or ill effects are possible if large quantities are as allowed.
Explosion Hazards
Release of energy in rapid and uncontrolled manner gives rise to explosion.
7.4.2 Risk Evaluation
From environmental hazards point of view, risk analysis (RA) acts as a scrutinizing vehicle for
establishing the priority in risk management that concerns human health and environmental
quality in general. Though the proposed facilities are not manufacturing, storing or handling any
potentially hazardous/toxic chemicals as scheduled in the Manufacture, Storage and Import of
Hazardous Chemicals (MSIHC) Rules, 1989 and its amendments thereof, the proposed facility
would have installations, such as, storage and handling of coal, fuel oil, and fuel gases. An
Environmental Qualitative Risk Analysis Flow Chart Procedure is depicted in Fig. -7.2
The hazards identified for the proposed project activities are presented in Table 7-2

The gases evolved along with dust from the process of steel making in the Induction Furnaces are
collected in the side swiveling hoods and on cooling are cleaned in APCD system having 99.9%
efficiency of dust collection. The dust collector will have bag type pulse jet filter of very fine
fabric specifically made to prevent dust emission. The particulate matter in the emitted air will be
within the permissible limits of NAAQS, 2009. The dust thus collected in dust collector and will
not be wasted; depending upon availability it will be packed in bags and sold for metal recovery.
The cleaned gas from the APCD system will be discharged through a chimney of 30m height.
There is no fugitive emission from grinding & crushing of Silico Manganese and Aluminum.
As a control mechanism, it will be strictly ensured that all the vehicles are PUC certified and
properly covered during transportation, loading, unloading and other such activities of raw
materials and finished products.
9.3.3 Noise Environment

high noise levels.
Regular maintenance will be carried out for equipments and various machines.
Plantation will be carried out.
Sufficient green belt is proposed to control noise level.
PUC certified vehicles will only be used
9.3.4 Water Environment
Water is mainly used in induction furnace for cooling of electric coils, for cooling of molten metal
in copper mould of CCM for skin formation and direct cooling of billets being withdrawn for billet
core solidification in CCM and in quenching purposes for producing TMT bars and other finished
products in Rolling mills and also for domestic purposes.
Water Pollution Control System
Water for construction and domestic purpose will be drawn through pipelines from IADA, Kala
Amb. About 28 KLD fresh water will be drawn daily, out of which 13 KLD will be required for
domestic purposes and 15 KLD will be used as make up water for cooling water recirculation
system through cooling tower. No waste water is disposed to the ground. Waste water of cooling
tower blow-down and from domestic sewage water soak pits is used for greenbelt development or
for dust suppression on haul road.
Rain Water Harvesting Structures and Facilities
Nahan area receives heavy rainfall (average 1546.2 mm/yr.) Heavy rainfall renders high moisture
content in soil during monsoon. Considering this, it is proposed to do rain water harvesting and use
rainwater for partial makeup in cooling towers during monsoon. The necessary structures and
facilities shall be worked out during detailed engineering.
9.4 Greenbelt Development
Development of a greenbelt around the proposed facility mitigates to a certain extent the potential
negative impact on the environment due to dust, air emissions, fugitive emission and noise. A
green cover itself acts as containment for dust. Presence of a green belt, will lead to micro-climate
and soil quality balancing, by retaining soil moisture, recharge of ground water as well as self-
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
208 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
control of micro- climate of that area. It also improves the aesthetic value of the area. Later on, it
becomes the natural habitat of various bird species. Development of a green belt around the
proposed project site will also help to contain noise generated during construction and operational
phases.
There are two types of approaches recognized for development of green belts i.e. Source oriented
approach and Receptor oriented approach. Both source and receptor-oriented approaches are
similar i.e. it requires development of green belt. The only difference is the manner in which the
plantation is being done. In source-oriented approach green belt is located around the pollution
source whereas in receptor-oriented approach the receptor is protected against pollution by
development of green belt nearer to the receptor. In this project the plantation will be source
oriented, i.e., the plant site will be covered at the boundary with green belt.
The general considerations involved while developing the green belt are:
Generally local/native fast-growing trees should be planted.
Planting of trees should be undertaken in appropriate encircling rows around the project site.
The trees should be protected by plantation of non-palatable shrub species to avoid browsing by
animals.

10.6 Noise Quality
Ambient noise monitoring was conducted to assess the background noise levels in the study area.
A total of eight locations within the study area were selected for the measurement of ambient
noiselevels. Noise monitoring was carried out on a 24-hour basis to assess the baseline noise-
levels and to evaluate the impact, if any
Assessment of noise level was carried out at various places to evaluate the ambient noise level in
the residential area as well as possible impact due to project activities. The values of noise level,
which are recorded lies between 47.14 dB (A) to 65.27 dB (A) at day time and 41.80dB (A) to
54.85 dB (A) at night time. The value of noise was higher at the project site. This may be
attributed to the presence of machineries and vehicular movement nearby the project site.
10.7 Water Quality
Water samples were collected from ground and surface waters within the study area. Number of
samples was taken from different locations including surface and ground water bodies. The
samples were analyzed for physico-chemical parameters. The sampling and analysis of water were
carried out as per standard methods of water and waste water analysis (APHA). The results of
water analysis have been compared with IS: 10500-2012 drinking water standard to assess their
suitability for drinking purpose.
Ground Water: The pH of all the samples lies within the desirable limit and ranges (between
7.15-8.55). Hardness of the samples is found in the range of 21-612mg/L. Chloride content of the
samples range from 10 - 121mg/L, which are under the desirable limit. Calcium and magnesium
content of the water samples varied in the range of 2-193 mg/L and 2-32mg/L respectively. Total
Dissolved Solids in the samples vary from 17– 502 mg/L, which is under the desirable limit.
Fluoride content of all samples lies within BDL. Nitrate content of all samples varied in the range
of 0.5-6.87mg/L. Sulphate in the water samples lies within the desirable limit and ranges between
3.44-75.24 mg/L. All the 30-parameter examined for ground water from 8 different locations were
within the standard limits.
Surface Water:The pH of all samples is alkaline and range between 7.1 to 8.12. The pH of the
samples lies within the desirable limit.Chemical Oxygen Demand of the samples varies from <4 to
37.3 mg/l; BOD ranges between 0.7 to 4.98 mg/l.Chloride content of all samples lies in the range

of 1.1 to 18.69 mg/l.Calcium ranges between 16 mg/l to 18 mg/l and Magnesium ranges from 4
mg/l to 16 mg/l.
10.8 Soil Quality
The soils of district Sirmaur are medium to high in available nitrogen, low to medium in available
P & K. The organic carbon status of this district is medium to high. The soils of hilly terrain of the
district are prone to water erosion.
The soil samples were collected once during the study period from each location. The sampling
was done using Augur Sampler and samples were filled in polythene bags, labeled in the field with
number and site name and sent to laboratory for analysis. Sampling & Analysis of soil was done as
per ISO/ IS: 2720/ Soil Chemical Analysis by M.L. Jackson.
10.9 Ecology Quality
Within 10 km distance of the project site, no plant or animal species were found to be on the
endangered list. No ecologically sensitive area like biosphere reserve, tiger reserve, elephant
reserve, migratory corridors of wild elephant, wetland, national park and wildlife sanctuary are
present within 10 km distance of the project site.
10.10 Anticipated Environmental impact& Mitigation Measures
10.10.1 Air Quality
During the construction phase, dust (particulate matter) is expected to be the main pollutant to be
emitted from the haul roads. In this case, pollution emission sources shall be distributed
throughout the project site and will fall under the category of area source. The land is already
developed for industrial work so extensive site formation work is not required. Vehicular emission
of SO2, NO2, CO will add onto the air pollution. Movement of vehicles on unpaved roads will also
add onto the dust emission. Operation of DG sets will also generate air pollutants like SO2, NO2,
CO. Fugitive emissions are envisaged such as dust in construction phase only.
Raw material will be transported in lump form by trucks with covered tarpaulin and finished
product will be transported. Hence, no emission is envisaged. Particulate and fugitive emissions
might arise from activities like DG set activity and by the movement of vehicle.
During the operation phase, there are four major categories of sources of air pollutants, they are:
Emissions from manufacturing processes.
Fugitive emissions from material handling.

219 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
Emissions (NOx, CO, and PM) from vehicular movement + Emissions (NOx, CO, & PM)
from Diesel Generator Set.
Treatment Process
The unit is designed keeping in view the worst operating conditions. Following equipment’s are
provided with their different functions.
Suction Hood
The furnace is fitted with Movable Suction Hood of capacities adequate enough for efficient
suction of the total volume of flue gases generated from the furnace.
Spark Arrestor
Primary Spark Arrestor: Its purpose is to remove large size dust particles and removal of
live red-hot particles/sparks.
Secondary spark arrestor: Involute Cyclone is used to remove medium size particles
from flue gases stream. This also removes live red-hot particles/sparks from the flue gases
which are not trapped by primary spark arrestor. The treated flue gases are discharged from
top and dust is collected at bottom.
Bag House
Unit has been provided with one no Bag House. The Bag House removes fine particles and
gases are fed to chimney through Blower.
Ducting
Ducting has been provided in the system not only for conveyance of gases atappropriate
velocit ies but also to reduce the temperature by naturalconvection.

Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
220 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
It is provided to release the treated gases into the atmosphere through anadequate height of
the chimney.
10.10.2 Noise Quality
Operation of machineries like conveyor, rotating machines during operation and DG sets will
result in generation of noise and vibration. The vibration arising out of generator will not have
significant impact as it is proposed to shield the generator area with noise and vibration
absorbing walls. Movement of vehicles will also contribute to noise as the generated noise will
be insignificant. The machineries to be used will be serviced and maintained to control
generation of noise and vibration. PUC certified vehicles used for transportation will be serviced
regularly and maintained properly to avoid any generation of unwanted noise.
Employees working in noisy environment will be made mandatory to wear ear muffs/ear plugs to
avoid any adverse impact of noise on them. Employees exposed to hand vibration while
handling/operating heavy machineries will compulsorily wear anti vibration gloves made up of
visco-elastic material.
10.10.3 Water Quality
Approximately 28 KLD water will be used during operational phase for industrial and domestic uses
of which 13 KLD will be for domestic purposes and 15 KLD for industrial use.Less water will be
used during production process and the spent water will not be drained outside the premises but
will be collected in a settling tank and recycled. Thus, the net consumption of water will be less.
Hence, no industrial effluent will be discharged.
The sewage generated during the construction and operation phases will not be drained outside the
premises but to be collected in a settling tank and recycled.
The water will be collected in tank and passed through cooling tower and will be reused for green
belt development.
Water will be used for indirect cooling in Induction furnace, indirect cooling and direct cooling for
continuous casting machine, direct cooling in TMT section of Rolling mill. The water is cooled in
cooling towers and occasional blow down is done to maintain TDS range. Blow down water is
allowed to settle and then used for dust suppression on haulage roads and slag metal extraction
unit.

221 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
10.10.4 Solid and Hazardous Wastes
Generation of solid waste will be minimum and generated waste will be sold to recycler. Solid
waste management will be done as per Solid Waste Management Rule, 2016 rule & amended
thereof. Crushed slag from slag metal extraction unit will be used as sand in road making or in
bricks or rarely for filling low lying areas. APCD dust may be tried for recovery of Zinc and sold
to recyclers. Mill scales will be sold in the market to the authorized recyclers.
Spent transformer oil will be regenerated and spent oil from DG set will be sent to the authorized
recyclers.
10.11 Landform Quality
Land is already available in company premises at Village Rampur Jattan, Kala Amb, Nahan Road,
Tehsil Nahan, Distt. Sirmaur, State Himachal Pradesh. The area is located in Shivalik foothill;
hence the area is mainly plain with general slope from North east to South West direction.
10.12 Greenbelt Development
Development of a greenbelt around the proposed facility mitigates to a certain extent the potential
negative impact on the environment due to dust, air emissions, fugitive emission and noise. A
green cover itself acts as containment for dust. Presence of a green belt, will lead to micro-climate
and soil quality balancing, by retaining soil moisture, recharge of ground water as well as self-
control of micro- climate of that area. It also improves the aesthetic value of the area, later on it
becomes the natural habitat of various bird species. Development of a green belt around the
proposed project site will also help to contain noise generated during construction and operational
phases. There are two types of approaches recognized for development of green belts i.e. Source
oriented approach and Receptor oriented approach. Both source and receptor-oriented approaches
are similar i.e. it requires development of green belt. The only difference is the manner in which
the plantation is being done. In source-oriented approach green belt is located around the pollution
source whereas in receptor oriented approach the receptor is protected against pollution by
development of green belt nearer to the receptor. In this project the plantation will be source
oriented, i.e., the plant site will be covered at the boundary with green belt.
The general considerations involved while developing the green belt are:
Generally local/native fast-growing trees should be planted.
Planting of trees should be undertaken in appropriate encircling rows around the project
site.
Final EIA Report for addition/installation of two Induction Furnaces of 12MT each in existing plant premises of M/s. Aditya Industries
222 | P a g eSHIVALIK SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT LIMITED
The trees should be protected by plantation of non-palatable shrub species to avoid
browsing by animals.
10.13 Environmental Monitoring Plan
During the ambient air quality monitoring, it is observed that the baseline concentration of air
pollutants, namely PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO and HC are well below the National Ambient
Air Quality Standards (NAAQS), 2009. It is anticipated that the plant activity will not cause any
adverse effect on the existing baseline status. Fugitive emissions will be controlled with the
following recommended measures:
Development of green belt in the plant area.
Use of water sprinkling system in haulage roads for dust suppression and over loading shall
be avoided during crushing and grinding of Scrap.
Proper maintenance of haulage roads, which are being used fortransportation
of material and use of PUC certified Vehicles.
Noise exposure level will be maintained within not more than 85 dB (A) in the work zone (for 8
hours exposure). The main sources of noise in plant activity are material handling machinery,
loading equipment, etc. and noise level are expected to increase at work zone with commencement
of project and other allied activities. The following precautionary measures will be taken to control
noise pollution:
Ear muffs, ear plugs, etc. will be provided to workers when the noise levels exceed 85 dB
(A).
The silencers and enclosures are incorporated for equipments and machineries, which emit
high noise levels.
Regular maintenance will be carried out for equipments and various machines.
Plantation will be carried out.
Sufficient green belt is proposed to control noise level.
Water holding facility will be provided to reuse the water in the process of gravity and settling,
whereby all the spent water will be collected in settling tank and recycled and the wastewater
from quenching will also be collected in tanks and passed through cooling towers and thus
reused.
