1.3.4 Importance to the Country & Region:
The area has various industries of paints, printing & dyeing, automobiles, sugar, pesticides
etc. These industries generates significant amount of incinerable Hazardous Waste, E-
Waste & discarded container waste.
The Hazardous & Other Waste (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016
& E-Waste Management Rules, 2016, bar the industries from dumping their wastes
indiscriminately. At the same time they permit the industries to dispose off their wastes
in safe & secured manner. It has been made mandatory by the government that hazardous
waste be disposed off in a systematic and scientific way and pollution control boards
have been asked to ensure it. For systematic & scientific disposal of solid wastes, a
facility has to be developed where care is to be taken to restrict to the extent possible,
any negative impacts on the environment.
Hazardous Waste reuse, recycling, and reclamation can avoid environmental hazards,
protect scarce natural resources, reduce the nation's reliance on raw materials and energy
and provide economic benefits.
The proposed project will cater to the need of the industries by providing an
environmentally sound common facility for Hazardous Waste incineration, E-Waste
dismantling & segregation & recycling/reconditioning of discarded containers.
The main objective of the proposed project is to reduce the waste treatment &/or disposal
cost for the individual industries, while protecting the environment.

Chapter II: Project Description
This chapter provides description of those aspects of the project (based on project feasibility
study), that are likely to cause environmental effects.
2.1 Type of Project
The project is a common facility for Hazardous Waste incineration (10 MT/day),
E-Waste dismantling & segregation (10 MT/day) and recycling/reconditioning of
discarded containers (10 MT/day) for safe treatment and disposal of hazardous waste, e-
waste & discarded containers.
The proposed project is categorized as category A under item 7 (d) of Schedule -
Gazette Notification dated Sept. 14th
, 2006 and its subsequent amendments for
preparation of Environment Impact Assessment study and Environment Management
Plan.
2.2 Need of the Project
The area has various industries of paints, printing & dyeing, automobiles, sugar,
pesticides etc. These industries generates substantial amount of hazardous waste, e-
waste & discarded containers. Due to the inadequate number of common facilities for
waste treatment in the area, the industries either send their waste to distant treatment
facilities or dispose it off in an unscientific manner as installation of individual
treatment facilities by small units requires comparatively high capital investment.
In addition, it requires separate manpower and infrastructure development for proper
operation and maintenance of treatment systems. Hence, the proposed project will cater
to the need of the industries by providing a common facility for waste treatment in the
area.

through adequate air pollution control system to meet emission guidelines while the
solid residue (incineration ash) is sent to authorized landfill for disposal. The proposed
incinerator would cater for the disposal/ destruction of incinerable hazardous waste as
given in Table 2.8 generated from various industries in nearby areas of the proposed
project site.

Primary Chamber
The primary chamber in a rotary kiln incinerator consists of an inclined refractory lined
cylindrical tube. Movement of the cylinder around its axis helps to maintain the
movement of waste. In the primary chamber, the solid fraction is converted into gases,
by means of volatilization, destructive distillation and partial combustion reactions.
Primary chamber will be made of mild steel shell, lined with thermotect board-
insulating material as the base layer & will be be followed by refractory material in
order to withstand the high temperature. Primary Chamber shall maintain temperature
around 850οC + 50
οC.
The refractory in the primary chamber will be capable of withstanding a maximum of
around 1600 οC.
Ash Collection
Residue leaving the kiln will fall through the bottom of the discharge breeching into an
ash collection system. The ash collection system includes ash conveyer, horizontal tank

and inclined portion. The conveyer will be driven by a motor coupled to a high ratio
gear reducer by means of a torque limiting coupling. The hot ash will be water
quenched and removed from the system by the conveyor mechanism.
Secondary Combustion Chamber
Secondary combustion chamber is necessary to complete the gas phase combustion
reactions & a temperature of around 1100 ο C + 50
ο C will be maintained here.
The refractory in secondary chamber will be capable of withstanding around 1400 ο
C
of temperature. Gas residence time at secondary combustion chamber will be 2 seconds.
Incineration Feed Rate
Due to non-homogeneous nature of the waste, characteristics including the feed rate
through the kiln, system heat of combustion, moisture, ash content and bulk density will
vary. All these factors will influence the feed rate and fuel requirement.
Feeding material will be prepared as per the recipe and will be charged in periodic
intervals as per the heat value.
Feed recipe will be prepared in bags of 20-25 kgs each and will be fed directly to
primary chamber.
There is possibility of variations in liquid wastes feed rate to be incinerated due to its
high or low calorific values.

from stack. In case of improper quenching, reduced efficiency of incinerator etc.
emission of dioxins/furans are also envisaged.
DG Sets: Emissions of PM, SO2, NOx & CO from stack. These emissions are not
continuous as DG sets will be used only as emergency power back-up. Also low
sulphur diesel to be used for DG Set operations will considerably reduce
generation of sulphur dioxide.
The facility will be equipped with proper air pollution control system for reducing the
pollutants and also a stack of adequate height will provided for proper dispersion of
the air pollutants as per CPCB guidelines
Line Source
Particulate Matter emissions from movement of vehicles carrying waste material on
paved roads & vehicular emissions like SPM, CO & HCs from exhaust of the
vehicles are envisaged as line source emissions.

Biphenyls & Polyvinyl Chloride in Incinerator.
The incineration facility will be equipped with an adequate Air pollution control
system to control release of these pollutants in the environment. Regular monitoring
of Dioxin and Furans will be carried out during operation phase.
2.12.2 Water Pollution
The waste water generation from the common waste treatment facility is envisaged
from floor washing, vehicle washing, scrubber operations, laboratory and domestic
use. The effluent waste water will be treated in the ETP (7.0 KLD capacity) & re-
circulated for scrubbing & reused for vehicle/floor washing, greenbelt development
etc. Domestic waste water will be disposed off to soak pit via septic tank.
2.12.3 Impact on Land environment
The proposed project will have negligible impact on the landuse of the project site as
the present landuse of plot area is for industrial use only. Proposed greenbelt
development & plantation will improve the aesthetics of the area.
Soil pollution due to proposed project will be due to:

3.1 Introduction
The anthropogenic activities related to common hazardous waste incinerator cause impacts
on environmental components in and around the project site. However, the intensity of
environmental impacts vary from project to projects, depends upon several factors like;
Physical, Chemical etc. involved in the project, processing capacity (scale / size of the
project), type and extent of pollution control measures, project location surrounding
geomorphology etc. To assess environmental impacts from proposed project (specific), it
is essential to monitor the environmental quality prevailing in the surrounding area prior to
implementation of the proposed project. The environmental status (baseline status) within
the study area is used for prediction of anticipated environmental impact assessment study.
The impacts from a hazardous waste treatment project on its surrounding environment are
due to the nature of pollutants, their quantities discharged to the environment, existing
environmental quality, assimilative capacity of the surrounding environment and
topography.
A regional background to the baseline data is being presented at the very onset, which will
help in better appreciation of micro-level field data, generated on several environmental
and ecological attributes of the study area. The baseline status of the project environment
is described section wise for better understanding of the broad-spectrum conditions. The
baseline environment quality represents the background environmental scenario of various
environmental components such as air, noise, land, ecological and socio-economic status
of the study area.
3.2. Study Area
An area of 10 km radius (aerial distance) from the proposed site is marked as study area.
The baseline information is collected for the identified study area, which includes the

3.6. Land Environment
Land Use /Land Cover Study has been done with the aim to:
To develop land use & land cover map using land coordinates of the project area.
To describe the present Land Use
To assess the impact of the project on existing land use of the project area.
To suggest measures for conservation and sustainable use of land.
3.6.1. Establishment of baseline data:
Detailed interpretation of baseline date is as under:-
Material and methods:
The details of study area, collection of relevant satellite images, ground-truth observation,
and the use of software and analytical tools used in the current study.
Geographical location of the study area: -
The project is for environmental clearance of “Common Hazardous Waste Incinerator &
Other waste treatment facility” coming up at Plot No. D- 26, UPSIDC, Sikandrabad
Industrial Area, District Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh. The total geographical area of study
area is 31695.6 ha. The survey of India toposheets 53 H/10, 53 H/11, 53 H/14, 53 H/15
were used for geo-referencing the study area.
Materials: - The equipment used during the present investigation includes ground truth hand
held GARMIN 12 GPS receiver for ground truth collection, besides the visual observation
and analysis.
Garmin 12 GPS receiver: - Global Positioning System is based on a constellation of 24
satellites orbiting the Earth at a very high altitude of 20,200 km, which allows anyone
with a GPS receiver to determine the precise 3-D location. It offers advantages of
accuracy, speed, versatility and economy while in use as an aid for position based data
collection. GPS owes its popularity to the dependable high accuracy with which position
and time can be determined. The termination of selective availability from first May 2000
has instantly increased the accuracy of stand-alone mode GPS to at least five fold and

things are going to get even better in the near future. The GPS was conceived as a
ranging system from known positions of satellites in space to unknown positions on land,
sea and space. GPS uses pseudo ranges derived from the broadcast satellites. The pseudo
ranges were derived either from measuring the travel time of the (coded) signal and
multiplying it by its velocity or by measuring the phase of the signal. The antenna detects
the electromagnetic waves arriving from the satellites, converts the wave energy into an
electric current, amplifies the signal strength and sends the signals to the receiver
electronics. The GARMIN 12 GPS Receiver in stand-alone mode was used to collect the
information regarding the geographical location of the ground truth sites during the
present investigation.
Satellite data: - The Indian Remote Sensing satelliteIRS-1C/1D/P6 LISS IV was used for
present analysis. Four scenes of IRS P6 LISS IV covered the entire study area.
Topographical maps of the study area: -The Survey of India Toposheet 53H/10, 53H/11,
53H/14, 53H/15 covering Bulandshahr District of Uttar Pradesh, was used as reference
map for geo-referencing of the remote sensing data. These maps helped to select the
ground truth collection sites.
Ancillary data: - Information derived from the remotely sensed data can only be verified
using field data. Field data is used to improve the information extraction, to calibrate
either data or the information and to assess the accuracy of the derived information. Field
data used in the study was of different types such as maps of Survey of India, data
collected in the field sampling, and information derived from statistical data from
revenue department.
Computer hardware and software: - HP P-4 dual core PC with ERDAS IMAGINE 8.5
image analysis software was used for processing and analysis of the remote sensing data.
ArcGIS version 10.1 was used for making land use maps.
Spatial observations: - Spatial measurements were made with the help of hand held GPS
to get the spatial coordinated along with type of land-use.
The raw LISS IV spectral information’s was collected in the three bands as detailed
below:

Band 2: Red region, 0.62-0.68µm
Band 3: Near infrared region, 0.77-0.86 µm
Data & Methodology:-
For the present land use study LISS-IV sensor data of IRS-P6 satellite has been used which
has a spatial resolution of 5.8 m, which is good enough for Level-II classification. National
Remote Sensing Centre (NRSC), Hyderabad classification scheme has been followed for
present land use study. First of all the .tiff file is imported to .img format, geometric
corrections were performed and data prepared for further process was done. Unsupervised
classification method has been adopted followed by visual interpretation technique for 10
km radius and a total of 7 classes have been obtained.
Digital image analysis: - The various steps involved in the digital image analysis of remote
sensing data area follows.
For digital image processing and analysis, preliminary work like collection of maps,
reports, remote sensing images, collection and study of collateral and ground truth data
were done first. Among all, ground truth data collection is very important for subsequent
digital analysis. The HP P-4 dual core PC with ERDAS IMAGINE 8.5 software was used
for processing and analysis of remote sensing data. The toposheets of the study area on
1:25,000 scales were scanned and were geometrically corrected in the DATA
PREPARATION panel of ERDAS IMAGINE 8.5. The IRS P6 LISS IV Image of the study
area was loaded into the ERDAS IMAGINE using the IMPORT option. Later, geometric
correction of the image was done with the help of the geometrically corrected SOI
Toposheets and Ground Control Points (GCPs) collected with the GPS receiver. The raw
image data when viewed on the display showed the difficulty indistinguishing all features.
Preliminary interpretation of the satellite data was conducted and GCPs, which were
distributed randomly throughout the image with minimum root mean square (rms) error of
less than 0.5 were selected. Polynomial transformation of 1st order was used because the
correction program runs faster with it and it also avoids geometric distortion in areas of
very few GCPs. After completing geometric correction of the image, study area boundary
overlay was done. The study area boundary was digitized from SOI toposheets using AOI

3.6.3. Topography and Drainage
On the basis of geology, soil, topography, climate and natural vegetation, the district
Bulandshahr is divided into the following sub-micro-regions, Bulandshahr Plain and
Ganga khaddar.
Sikandrabad Tehsil is located in the Bulandshahr plain which is situated in the central part
of the district & covers partly Siana, Bulandshahr, Khurja and Sikandrabad tehsils. It is
bifurcated by the water catchment of Nim nadi in the east and Karwan in the west. The
east Kali and Karwan Rivers collect water of this belt and flow parallel to each other.
Although these streams originate from the depressions in the plain, yet they are perennial.
It is perfectly a gentle plain with north to south slope. Other physiographic phenomenons

are negligible. Geographically, the region belongs to Alluvium Dun gravels, while the
main soil sub-order associations is Ochrepts-Psamments. Culturally the plain is very rich
The general surface of the district presents almost uniform level plain with an
imperceptible gradual slope from north-west to south-east. Highest and lowest contour is
200 m& 220 m in the area.

The principal rivers and streams of the district are Ganga and Yamuna, Kali, Karban and
Nim Nadi. First two are perennial and the rest are seasonal. Except for the occurrence of
some depressions and usar lands here and there, particularly in parts of Sikandrabad, Khurja
and Baran parganas, the entire plain of the Bulandshahr district is marked by large fertile
tracts.
The drainage pattern follows the topographical slopes in the study area. Rain water flows
from NNW to SSE following the general drainage pattern.

3.6.4. Seismicity of the Area
Geologically this region is a fore-deep, a down warp of the Himalayan foreland, of
variable depth, converted into flat plains by long-vigorous sedimentation.
Earthquakes have occurred in mostly all parts of Uttar Pradesh. Major earthquakes in the
neighboring states of New Delhi, Uttarakhand, Bihar and from across the Indo-Nepal
border have also shaken many parts of Uttar Pradesh.
Fig. 3.11: Seismic zone map of Uttar Pradesh
In view point of seismicity, District Bulandshahr lies in a MSK VIII i.e. high damage risk
zone. However, it must be stated that proximity to faults does not necessarily translate
into a higher hazard as compared to areas located further away, as damage from
earthquakes depends on numerous factors such as subsurface geology as well as
adherence to the building codes.
3.7. Soil Environment
Soil may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust which serves as a natural medium for
the growth of plants. It is unconsolidated mineral matter that has been subjected to and
influenced by genetic and environmental factors, such as parent material climate organism
and physiochemical action of wind, water and sunlight all acting over a long period of

time. Soil differs from the parent materials in the morphological, physical, chemical and
biological properties.
For studying soil quality of the region, a sample was collected to assess the existing soil
conditions in and around the project area.
The sample was collected by ramming a core-cutter into the soil up to a depth of 90 cm.
The present study on the soil quality establishes the baseline characteristics and identifies
the incremental concentrations if any, due to the proposed project. The objective of the
sampling is:
To determine the baseline soil characteristics of the study area;
To determine the impact of proposed activity on soil characteristics; and
To determine the impact on soils more importantly from agricultural productivity
point of view.
The soil sample was collected from three different depths viz. 30 cm, 60 cm and 90 cm.
The samples was then packed in a polythene plastic bag and sealed.

Data Generation Methodology
For studying soil profile of the region, sampling locations were selected to assess the
existing soil conditions in and around the plant area representing various land use
conditions. The physical, chemical and heavy metal concentrations were determined. The
samples were collected by ramming a core-cutter into the soil up to a depth of 90 cm.
The present study of the soil profile establishes the baseline characteristics and this will
help in future identification of the incremental concentrations if any, due to the operation
of the plant. The sampling locations have been identified with the following objectives:
To determine the baseline soil characteristics of the study area;
To determine the impact of industrialization on soil characteristics; and
To determine the impact on soils more importantly from agricultural productivity
point of view.

3.7.3 Observations:
Texture of the soil samples ranges from sandy loam, loamy sand to sandy clay loam.
Bulk density reflects the soil’s ability to function for structural support, water and
solute movement, and soil aeration. Bulk density of soil samples were in range of
1.49gm/cm3to 1.54gm/cm3.
The porosity ranged from 42.1 - 44 %.
Soil pH is a characteristic that describes the relative acidity or alkalinity of the soil.
pH of the soil samples ranged from 6.54 to 8.58, which reflects that the soil is near
neutral to moderately alkaline in nature indicating that soils do not pose a problem of
either salinity or sodicity.
Infiltration rate is a good indicator of soil structure and therefore, soil health, as
infiltration depends on the level of aggregation (crumb structure) that has formed in
the topsoil. Better aggregated (healthy) soils allow water to percolate much faster than
poor soils. Infiltration rate of the soil samples ranged from 1.1 cm/hr to 1.54 cm/hr.
The organic matter in the soil ranged from 0.65% to 2.98 %.
The concentration of available Nitrogen, Phosphorous and Potassium in the soil
samples is 109 to 185.2 kg/ha, 36.5 to 59.8 kg/ha, 122.5 to 257.2 kg/ha.
3.8. Climatology and Micrometeorology
The micrometeorological data helps for appropriate understanding of the baseline micro
climatic status of the study area as well as for input into prediction models to evaluate air
dispersion phenomenon. Chronological data on meteorological parameters also helps
identifying the general errors encountered during generation of micro meteorological data
of the region. The year is broadly divided into four seasons as per IMD:
Winter season : December to February

3.8.1 Methodology
The methodology adopted for monitoring surface observations is as per the standard
norms laid down by Bureau of Indian Standards (IS: 8829) and India Meteorological
Department (IMD). The data on meteorological parameters in the study area were
monitored for the period December 2018 to February 2019. The data was monitored from
an automated weather-monitoring station. The instrument was located to allow free
exposure to atmosphere all through the study period. The summary of meteorological data
is given in Table 3.5.
3.8.2 Wind Pattern
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.
Based on the meteorological data obtained from the region, percentage frequencies of wind
in 16 directions have been computed from the recorded data during the study period
(December, 2018 - February 2019) to plot wind rose. Fig. 3.12 represents the summary of the
wind pattern.
The winds were predominantly recorded from NW closely followed by West direction during
the season. Averaged wind speed for the period is 1.80 m/s.

3.9. Air Environment
The ambient air quality with respect to the study zone around the proposed project site
forms the baseline information. The various sources of air pollution in the region are
traffic, industrial, urban and rural activities. This will also be useful for assessing the
conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during operation. This section
describes the selection of sampling locations, methodology adopted for sampling,
analytical techniques and frequency of sampling. The results of monitoring carried out for
study period from December 2018 to February 2019 representing winter season are
presented in follow-up sections.
3.9.1 Methodology
Selection of Sampling Locations
The baseline status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a scientifically
designed ambient air quality-monitoring network. The design of monitoring network in
the air quality surveillance program has been based on the following considerations:
Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale
The methodology for conducting the baseline environmental survey and selection of
sampling locations considered the guidelines given in the EIA manual of the
MoEF&CC
Topography of the study area
Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining baseline status; and
Representatives of likely impact areas.
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at eight locations. The
details of the monitoring location are given in above Table 3.1.
Frequency and Parameters for Sampling
Ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out with a frequency of two days per
week during study period. The duration of sampling of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NOx was

done twenty-four hourly continuous sampling per day and CO was sampled for 8 hours
continuous thrice in 24 hour duration monitoring.
To collect the samples, Envirotech Make Calibrated Respirable Dust Samplers (RDS-
APM 460 BL) along with Gaseous attachment and Fine Particulate Matter (FPS-APM
550) were used. The instruments are well capable of drawing air at a flow rate of 1 to 1.3
m3/min with very little pressure drop for RDS and the impactor system of FPS is
designed to operate at an air flow rate of 1m3/hr. Filter papers (8”x10” GF for PM10 and
46.2 dia. PTFE for PM2.5) were used for the collection of PM10 and PM2.5. SO2 was
collected by drawing air at a flow-rate of 0.5 liters per minute (lpm) through an absorbing
solution i.e., Sodium tetrachloromercurate (TCM) (West and Gaeke Method) and NOx
was collected by drawing air at a flow rate of 0.4 lpm through the mixture of absorbing
solutions i.e. sodium hydroxide and sodium arsenite (Jacobs and Hochheiser Method).
Carbon Monoxide samples were collected on 1 hourly base in Mylar bags and analyzed
by Non-Dispersive Infra-Red Spectroscopy (NDIR). This is to allow a comparison with
the present revised standards mentioned in the latest Gazette Notification of the Central
Pollution Control Board (November 2009).
The baseline data of air environment was monitored for parameters mentioned below as
per latest Gazette Notification of the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) on NAAQ
dated 18th November 2009. The ambient air quality parameters along with their frequency
of sampling are given in Table below:

3.10. Water Environment
3.10.1 Hydrogeology
The project site falls in Sikandrabad block of Bulandshahar District, which comes under
Non-notified–Over exploited area as per CGWB classification. Bulandshahar district
forming a part of Ganga-Yamuna Doab, lies in the western part of Uttar Pradesh, Eastern

boundary of the district being defined by river Ganga. The district is an almost
monotonous plain with occurrence of sand dunes, and sandy ridges, ravineous tracts and
depressions close to river Ganga. At times, close to other minor rivers also, occurrence
of minor sandy mounds can be seen. At places, close to river system, badland
topography has developed which is due to differentiated erosions. Kankar-lenses and
beds are seen exposed and form mounds. The fertile and cultivated soil expanses are
sometimes broken by barren expanses of flat lands which are user lands having kankar
at shallow depth as well as alkaline soils on the surface spread as white sheet.
The elevation of land surface varies from 207.4 amsl at Gulaothi in the north to 193.8
amsl in the south at the boundary of district.
Major part of the land surface lies within the upland surface between the valleys of two
rivers- Ganga and Karwan Nadi. This upland surface is dissected by minor drainages
namely Kali Nadi & Nim Nadi which run more or less parallel to each other in the
district and have developed district valley floor.
Ground water occurs in the pore spaces of the unconsolidated alluvial sediments in the
zone of saturation. The near surface sediments are dominantly sandy clays and clays
which grade into sediments having varied proportions of sand and clays. These
sediments occur as inter layered sequence and pockets. Kankar is generally present in
clay in the form of lenses and layers as well as is interspersed. These mixed sediments
occur down upto 20 m and support large number of dug wells. The depth of dug wells
range between 6 m to 20 m.
3.10.2 Climate & Rainfall:
The normal annual total rainfall is 696 mm. In the year 2011 the total average rainfall
was only 258.35. About 90% of rainfall takes place from June to September. During
monsoon surplus water is available for deep percolation to ground water.
During monsoon season the relative humidity is generally high which decreases rapidly
till summer which is the driest part of the year. The mean monthly morning relative
humidity is 65% and mean monthly evening relative humidity is 45%.

3.10.4.4 Observation
Ground Water
The pH for drinking water samples as per IS 10500:2012 is from 6.5 to 8.5;
beyond this range the water will affect the mucus membrane and or water
supply system. During study period the pH in the ground water samples was
varying from 7.22 to 7.98 showing that they are within the acceptable range.
The acceptable limit for total dissolved solids as per IS 10500:2012 is 500
mg/l, whereas the permissible limit in absence of alternate source is 2000 mg/l,
beyond this palatability decreases and may cause gastro intestinal irritation. In
ground water samples collected from the study area, the total dissolved solids
in groundwater are varying from 423 mg/l to 536 mg/l in study area. Three of
the eight samples i.e. Project site, Rajarampur & Manhcha are falling in
permissible range whereas the remaining are falling in acceptable range.
The acceptable limit as per IS10500 for total hardness is 300 mg/l whereas the
permissible limit for the same is 600 mg/l. Hard water is an aesthetic problem
that causes soap and scaly deposits in plumbing and decreased cleaning action
of soaps and detergents. In the ground water samples collected from the study
area, the total hardness is varying from 236.6 mg/l to 298.8 mg/l which though
high; is still in the acceptable range.
Fluoride is the other important parameter, which has the acceptable limit of 1
mg/l and permissible limit of 1.5 mg/l. However the optimum content of
fluoride in the drinking water is 0.6 to 1.5 mg/l. If the fluoride content is less
than 0.6 mg/l it causes dental caries, above 1.5mg/l it causes staining of tooth
enamel, higher concentration in range of 3 – 10 mg/l causes Fluorosis. In the
water samples collected from the study area, the hardness is varying from 0.94
mg/l to 0.55 mg/l.
All the samples collected from the study area were found to be fit for human
consumption; however the total dissolved solids in some of the ground water
samples are above acceptable limits but well within the permissible limits

The water analysis results indicate that the ground water at all locations is free
from heavy metals.(BDL as per detection limit of instrument used: what is the
DL of instrument used?)
Surface Water
pH in the surface water samples was found to be varying from 7.58 to 8.22.
The total dissolved solids in surface water samples are varying from 311 mg/l
to 562 mg/l in study area.
In surface water samples, the total hardness is varying from 189.1 mg/l to
285.6 mg/l.
Dissolved Oxygen content for the water samples is quite low & water quality
can be compared to Class E as per classification of Inland Surface Water and
use for Irrigation, industrial cooling etc.
3.11. Noise Environment
The environmental assessment of noise from the proposed project activity and vehicular
traffic can be undertaken by taking into consideration various factors like potential
damage to hearing, physiological responses, and annoyance and general community
responses.
Characteristics of noise sources (instantaneous, intermittent or continuous in nature).
It can be observed that steady noise is not as annoying as one which is continuously
varying in loudness;
The time of day at which noise occurs, for example high noise levels at night in
residential areas are not acceptable because of sleep disturbance; and
The location of the noise source, with respect to noise sensitive land use, which
determines the loudness and period of exposure.
The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to establish the baseline
noise levels, and assess the impact of the total noise expected to be generated by the
construction and operation of the project activity around it.

3.11.1 Identification of Sampling Locations
A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise
generating sources in and around the proposed project site area. Noise level at
different noise generating sources has been identified based on the activities in the
study area and ambient noise due to traffic.
The noise monitoring has been conducted for determination of ambient noise levels at
eight locations in the study area for winter season (Dec.’ 2018 to Feb.’2019). The
noise levels at each location were recorded for 24 hours. The environment setting of
noise monitoring locations is given in above Table 3.2.
3.11.2 Method of Monitoring
Noise levels are more annoying in the night time particularly in the residential areas.
The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from annoyance
to hearing loss depending on loudness of noise levels. The monitoring for noise levels
were done in 8locations keeping considering the population and traffic of the area. The
locations are depicted in Fig 3.2 and levels recorded stated in table below:

b) To assess the impact on socio-economic environment due to proposed project.
c) To assess the impact of the project on State Gross Domestic Product (SGDP)
d) To evaluate the community development measures proposed to be taken up by the
Project Proponent, if any.
e) To suggest Community Development measures needs to be taken for the study
area
3.12.1 Methodology
The methodology adopted for impact assessment is as follows:
a) The details of the activities and population structure have been obtained from
Census 2011 and analyzed.
b) Primary data was collected by a door-to-door survey in urban area and
household’s living therein. The data collected during the above survey was
analyzed to evaluate the prevailing socio-economic profile of the area.
c) Based on the above data, impacts due to construction operation on the
community have been assessed and recommendations for further improvement
have been made.
3.12.2 Concept& Definition
a) Study Area: The study area, also known as impact area has been defined as the
sum total of core area/project area and buffer area with a radius of 10
Kilometers from the periphery of the core area/project is. The study area
includes all the land marks both natural and manmade falling herein.
b) Household: A group of persons who normally live together and take their meals
from a common kitchen are called a household. Persons living in a household
may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of related or
unrelated persons live in a house but do not take their meals from the common
kitchen, then they are not part of a common household. Each such person is
treated as a separate household. There may be one member households, two
member households or multi-member households.

Report Ref: GESPL/SWMP/EIA/258 Rev No. 02
c) Sex ratio: Sex ratio is the ratio of males to females in a population. It is
expressed as number of females per 1000 males.
d) Literates: All persons aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with
understanding in any language are taken as literate. It is not necessary for a
person to have received any formal education or passed any minimum
educational standard for being treated as literate. People who are blind but can
read in Braille are also treated as literates.
e) Literacy rate: Literacy rate of population is defined as the percentage of
literates to the total population aged 7 years and above.
f) Labour Force: The labor force is the number of people employed and
unemployed in aerographical entity. The size of the labour force is the sum total
of persons employed and unemployed. An unemployed person is defined as a
person not employed but actively seeking work. Normally, the labour force of a
country consists of everyone of working age (around 14to 16) and below
retirement (around-65) that are participating workers, that is people actively
employed or seeking employment. People not counted under labour force are
students, retired persons, stay-at home parents, people in prisons and
discouraged workers.
g) Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity
with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be
physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also
includes effective supervision and direction of work. The work may be part time
or full time or unpaid work in a farm, family enterprise or in any other economic
activity.
h) Worker: All persons engaged in 'work' are defined as workers. Persons who are
engaged in cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption
are also treated as workers.
i) Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the
reference period (i.e. 6 months or more) are termed as Main Workers.
j) Marginal Workers: Those workers who did not work for the major part of the
reference period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as Marginal Workers

k) Work participation rate: The work participation rate is the ratio between the
labour force and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same
age range). In the present study the work participation rate is defined as the
percentage of total workers (main and marginal) to total population.
3.12.3 Legislative and Regulatory Considerations
To review laws and regulations governing the project’s implementation and the access
of poor and excluded groups to goods, services and opportunities provided by the
project. In addition, review the enabling environment for public participation and
development planning. SIA should build on strong aspects of the legal and regulatory
systems to facilitate program implementation and identify weak aspects while
recommending alternative arrangements.
3.12.4 Social Impact Assessment
Social Impact Assessment (SIA) is an instrument used to analyze social issues and
solicit stakeholder views for the design of projects. SIA helps in making the project
responsive to social development concerns, including options that enhance benefits for
poor and vulnerable people while mitigating risk and adverse impacts. It analyzes
distributional impacts of intended project benefits on different stakeholder groups, and
identifies differences in assets and capabilities to access the project benefits. The scope
and depth of SIA should be determined by the complexity and importance of issues
studied, taking into account the skills and resources available. SIA should include
studies related to involuntary resettlement, compulsory land acquisition, impact of

Following observations were noted while doing the Socio-economic survey which
is elaborated with remarks and suggestions in the given table below:
Table 3.27: Site Visit Observations with Remarks and Suggestions
Components Description Remarks/Suggestions
Social set up:
The no of households in the villages ranges
from 0 to 300 or more in some villages. Mostly
male dominated society. Mostly joint families
prevail with one kitchen in the house. In some
households there are 2 or more kitchens under
one roof.
Villagers are mostly Hindus in the area with
some villages like Tilbegumpur, Salehpur etc.
have some Muslim population.
Gurjars who belongs to OBCs are predominant
in the surrounding region of 5 km radius buffer
area. Other castes are Harijans who are SCs.
Some 20-30% of Brahmans also reside in the
villages. STs are absence in the 2 km radius of
the study area.
Society related to women
is little backward.
Gurjars dominate in the

Culture Women in the families are mostly busy in
household work. Girls get married at early age
of 16-20 years and are not allowed to work and
earn for their living. Few girls get opportunity
to earn but are not allowed to stay in other
cities for study or doing jobs. Typically after
marriage the girls are no longer considered part
of the maternal households. Women don’t take
part in any economic matters of the households
and stay in the house with veil covering their
head and look after the children.
Women should get more
opportunity to education
and jobs or business.
Marital age should be
improved.
More freedom to women
is needed for receiving
more education and to
stand by their own feet.
Women should be allowed
to move out of the villages
to other cities for job. And
to change the perception
of the localities about
women to allow them to
work, more campaigns
from govt. and NGOs
should be held in the area
who can educate the
villagers about the same.
Property
Structure
People in the area live in Pucca houses. The
houses consist of some elongated rooms, living
or drawing rooms and an open courtyard. Most
of all the houses have cattle shed like in the
below picture where they keep their buffaloes
and another animals.
Houses are pucca houses
and have all the modern
amenities.
All houses have courtyard
and an animal shed.
Pet animals are mostly
buffaloes.

Education The present generation population is literate.
There are households where males are pursuing
Bachelors and Master Degrees or Technical
graduation studies like B.Tech. and B.Pharm.
Whereas females are mostly Secondary or
Higher Secondary/ High School passed and
only few with 5-10% have done higher studies.
Women are not aimed to be educated to earn.
They only get the education to be literate or to
manage the households or to teach their
children.
Many private schools have opened in the
nearby areas offering secondary level
education. But for further higher studies the
children have to go to Sikandrabad town in
Agrasen Inter College, about 2-4 km away from
the nearby villages or to Bulandshahr which is
more than 5 km away from the project area.
For College & Higher Technical education, the
villagers had to go to Bulandshahr, Greater
Noida, Noida or to Delhi.
Women Education should
be given more priority
More girl schools with
proper good teachers and
infrastructure should be
opened.
Infrastructure of Govt
schools should be
improved.
More schools upto Higher
Secondary level should be
established.

nearby villages work in the nearby industries.
Some of the people work as daily laborers in
the construction site or in any other industries
or shops in Sikandrabad, Bulandshahr, Noida
etc.
Farmers grow Wheat in the land with other
vegetables. Other than wheat Rice and maize
are also cultivated. The crops are sold in
Sikandrabad market.
The land for agriculture is unirrigated.
Tubewell irrigation is used to irrigate the crops.
Some farmers have Kishat Credit cards to avail
loan from Govt grameen Banks under Kishan
Awas Vikas Yojna. The farmers have buffaloes
in their house to meet the daily necessity of
milk. Some people also sell the milk at the
market and earn their living.
People in the villages are well settled and
maintain a good life style with all household
amenities inside their home. As visited in the
house of Mr. Bijay Pal, it was observed that the
family has all the modern facilities in the house
like Air Condition, big screen colour T.V, new
mobiles and other gadgets, costly cars etc.
Likewise the people in the villages also have
huge savings of around 5-10 lakhs.
Some middleclass farmers and middleclass
small business men with shops or small
workshops also stay in these villages.
Some youths in the area, as per the opinion of
the people in the area, are unemployed. Inspite
of having Engineering degrees they are not

considerable educated
youth generation is still

govt.
Local industries should
give more to hire the
skilled and educated local
youth.
Vocational training can be
provided to the youth in
the area.
Some programmes should
be initiated to engage the
women to earn.
Motivation through
lectures and camps should
be provided to the local
villagers to educate and
motivate them to allow the
women in the house to
work or to allow them to
go out of the villages to
towns and cities for jobs.
Women should take active
participation in financial
matters.

receiving good job offers. Mr. Ratan Singh (a
respondent in Sherpur, worked as guard)
discussed that the nearby industries in the area
hire workers from Noida and other parts of
India. The villagers hardly get a decent job in
the nearby industries. Even during construction
phase cheap labors are hired who are from
Bihar, Orissa or West Bengal.
Women of the households don’t go outside to
earn money. They also don’t have any say on
financial or business or any economic related
matters of the household and the men.
Health and
Medical
Facilities
The medical facilities in the area are poor.
There are no PHCs in Jokhabad, Sherpur,
Sawli, and Andhel. Due to surrounding
industries groundwater and air is contaminated
which has made the people in the surrounding
villages of Jokhabad, Sherpur, Sawli,
Rajarampur etc suffer from Asthma, respiratory
problems, skin throat and nasal allergeies,
arthritis etc diseases. As told by Mr. Subhash
Bhati (a respondent of Sherpur village) that
most of the households have atleast one person
suffering from either bone related problems or
asthma.
For serious medical emergencies or serious
disease people has to rush to Government or
Private hospitals in Sikandrabad which is
around 6-8 km away from the villages. Even
for small diseases the villagers have to
approach the private clinics in Sikandrabad or
in Bulandshahr.

other vehicles, yet the
frequency of buses should
be improved.
Jokhabad village need one
bustop near the village
entrance.
Dankaur is the nearest
railway station to the
project site area.
Drinking water Drinking water facility consists of tap water
from Panchayat tanks. The people of
surrounding villages near to the project site are
unsatisfied with the drinking water facility in
the area.
The government hand pumps in many villages
do not work properly. Moreover the
groundwater in many villages is contaminated
causing skin allergies. So people rely only on
timely tap water supply which is not sufficient
for the people.
Quality of potable
groundwater is needed to
be checked.
More tanks should be
established in the villages
of Sawli, Gopalpur,
Jokhabad, Sherpur etc.
Treatment of the
groundwater should be
given importance.
Electricity All the villages in the study area are electrified.
There is a power substation in Jokhabd village.
Inspite of the presence of a Power House,
Jokhabad and surrounding villages face
maximum power cuts. Around 6-10 hours of
power cuts occur in a day in these villages.

but the cases of frequent
power cuts should be

ecosystems. Generally it is believed that waste disappears when it is burnt. However,
in true sense the burnt waste transforms into ashes and gas, in which chemical
reactions lead to the formation of new compounds which may be toxic. Incinerator
plants are the source of serious toxic pollutants: like dioxins; furans; acid gases;
particulates; heavy metals; which need to mitigate. Incinerators also produce around a
million tonnes of contaminated ash each year.
This report characterizes prevailing biodiversity status of the proposed project site
(Core Zone) and its surrounding area of 10 km. radius (Buffer Zone). Efforts have
been made to predict likely impacts due to project activities, and suggest mitigation
measures to reduce / mitigate impacts on ecological components of the surrounding

& Mitigation Measures
4.1 Introduction
This chapter presents identification and appraisal of various impacts from the proposed
Common Facility for Hazardous Waste incineration, E-Waste dismantling & segregation
and recycling/reconditioning of discarded containers in the study area based on the
inventory of pollution sources as well as the baseline environmental setting described in
Chapter III of the EIA report.
The impacts have been assessed for the proposed project assuming that the pollution due
to the existing activities of the surrounding industries in the area has already been
covered under baseline environmental monitoring.
The operation of the project comprises various activities each of which have an impact on
some or other environmental parameters. Various impacts during the operation phase on
the environment parameters have been studied to estimate the impact on the environment
and are discussed briefly below and elaborated in the subsequent sections.
Mitigation measures at the source level and an overall management plan at the study area
level are elicited so as to improve the supportive capacity of the study area and also to
preserve the assimilative capacity of the receiving bodies.
4.2 Impacts during construction phase
Various activities during the erection and commissioning phase such as movement of
vehicles, heavy machinery, remaining construction work etc. will lead to emission of
particulate matter. The impacts of construction phase are temporary in nature and subside
once the construction activities get over. Major pollutants generated from remaining
construction, erection & commissioning activities are particulate matter (PM10 and

The activities related to the operational phase have varying impacts on the environment
and are also considered for impact assessment for the following attributes:
Topography and drainage
Land use;
Soil quality;
Solid & Hazardous waste;
Air quality;
Water resources and quality;
Noise levels;
Socio-economic environment;
Ecological environment;
4.3.1 Impact on Topography and Drainage
This proposed project is located in Sikandrabad industrial area. The study area is
characterized by a relatively flat terrain with elevation of 206 meters above sea level. The
project is situated in the flat terrain region of Bulandshahr district. For this proposed
project, no surface drainage is modified/ diverted; as such no disturbance is caused to the
natural drainage system. Hence, the impact on the topography and drainage of the study
area is negligible.
4.3.2 Impact on Land use
No definite additional impacts to land use occur during the operational phase. The
proposed project will have negligible impact on the landuse of the project site as the

4.3.5 Impact on Air Quality
4.3.5.1. Assessment of Impact on Air Quality
To support the application for the project, an assessment including an air dispersion
modelling study (to evaluate the effects from the emissions from the project under normal
operations) and surrounding baseline levels on the ambient air quality was performed.
Predictions were made for maximum ground level concentrations of the pollutants of
concern.
In this modelling approach only those sources are considered which are potential sources
of air pollution due to the proposed project operations. The major air pollution will be
caused due the operation of Incinerator, DG sets and introduction of vehicular emissions
due to transportation activities. The major air pollutants are given below:
NO2: The amount of produced NO2 is a function of the maximum temperature, oxygen
concentrations, and residence time. NO2 will be mainly generated during the high-
temperature burning of fuel in the Incinerator, DG Set & vehicle engines & thermal
treatment of hazardous waste in incinerator, and the amount being formed depends
greatly on the combustion temperature. The higher the burning temperature and the
more intense the oxygen concentration, the longer the reaction time would be and
thereby generating more NO2 emissions.
CO (Carbon monoxide): CO is generated due to the incomplete combustion of fuel in
the Incinerator, DG Set & vehicle engines & thermal treatment of hazardous waste in
incinerator. CO emissions will be controlled from the Incinerator & DG sets based on
the combustion design efficiencies to be achieved. The Incinerator & DG sets will be
designed to achieve a maximum efficiency of fuel burning for the less emissions of
CO.

PM: Particulate Matter Emissions are generated from combustion of fuel in the
Incinerator, DG Set & vehicle engines & thermal treatment of hazardous waste in
incinerator.
SO2: Sulphur in the feeding waste upon thermal oxidation forms sulphur dioxide.
Air Dispersion Modelling Methodology
Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing mathematical
model based on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for multiple
volume and point sources for short term modelling. In the present case, Industrial Source
Complex-Short Term [ISCST3] dispersion model based on steady state Gaussian plume
dispersion, designed for multiple volume and point sources for short term modelling and
developed by United States Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA] has been used
for modelling simulations. The maximum 24-hourly incremental concentrations of
pollutants in ambient air are estimated using the ISCST3 model. This model can account
for the point sources, settling and dry deposition of particles, downwash, separation of
point sources and limited terrain adjustment. The computations deal with major pollutants
viz., particulate matter, carbon monoxide, hydrochloric acid, oxides of nitrogen & TOC.
Model Input Data
The modeling scenario considered is as follows:
Normal operations where hazardous waste is incinerated at a rate of 500 kg/hr;
Emergency power generation where a diesel generator of 420 kVA is used to produce
power in an event of power failure of UPPCL and the waste incineration is expected
to continue after the power failure.
The Ground level concentrations were modeled at selected geographical locations within
the modeling domain using cartesian grids with different spacing of receptor points. The
map showing the various settlements / sensitive receptors considered is given as Figure
3.2 which has the details of baseline details of ambient air quality in the study area.

Meteorological Data
The AERMOD model requires hourly surface data values for wind speed, wind direction,
temperature, rainfall, relative humidity, pressure, cloud cover and ceiling height and solar
radiation and at least once daily mixing height data. Surface data (temperature, rainfall,
relative humidity, pressure, cloud cover and solar radiation as well as wind data
(direction and speed) for year 2019 for the winter season was utilized for the study which
is collected from automatic weather station set up at the proposed project site during the
study period.
Both data files for the surface and mixing heights were then used to generate the
meteorological file required by the AERMOD dispersion model using the AERMET
meteorological pre-processor programme. This AERMET programme has three stages to
process the data. The first stage extracts meteorological data and assesses data quality
through a series of quality assessment checks. The second stage merges all data available
for 24-hour periods and writes these data together in a single intermediate file. The third
and final stage reads the merged meteorological data and estimates the necessary
boundary layer parameters for dispersion calculations by AERMOD.
The 2019, winter season (Dec., 2018 to Feb., 2019) meteorological pre-processed data
was used to determine its corresponding Wind Rose plot, given in chapter III. The Wind

various parameters during study period is given in Fig. 4.1 to 4.4.
The baseline Air quality index (AQI) calculated for data collected during study period
(maximum of average) for all the 08 nos. monitoring stations in 10 km radius area of the
proposed project site is 308 {301-400: very poor}. It is seen from the table 4.9, the
resultant GLC’s obtained at various locations are exceeding the CPCB standards for PM10
which is not surprising given that the existing AQI of the area is very poor. However, the
proposed project is not expected to add significantly to the air pollution load as adequate
mitigation measures will be put in place.

4.3.5.4. Air Pollution Control Devices
Air pollution control system cleans the incinerator products of combustion. The
functional requirements of flue gas cleaning system are:
Control the acid gas emissions
Control of particulate emissions
The incineration facility will be designed to ensure the wastes are destroyed in a safe,
controllable and efficient manner:
The combustion and flue gas cleaning system operates under safe negative pressure
at all times. This prevents the escape of combustible products to atmosphere prior to
being processed through the entire Incineration process.
Both Rotary Kiln and secondary combustion chamber (S.C.C.) are maintained at
excess air condition at sufficient temperature and residence time to ensure the
complete oxidation of wastes.
The tumbling action of wastes inside the kiln due to continuous rotation ensures good
heat transfer and complete destruction of wastes.
The flue gases from Rotary Kiln due waste burning are retained at S.C.C. for a
residence time which is in excess of the minimum residence time required for
complete oxidation.
The highly efficient air cleaning system traps the particulate matters and neutralizes
the acidic gases prior to their release into the atmosphere
System has got the inbuilt safety interlocks. If any operational parameter goes
outside the pre-determined boundary limits, it will cause an automatic shutdown of
portion / all of the Incineration System depending upon the particular upset
parameter.

Gaurang Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Page 193
Report Ref: GESPL/SWM /EIA/258 Rev No. 02
The air pollution control system includes:
Rapid quencher: Rapid quenching system to prevent reformation of dioxins by rapidly
lowering the flue gas temperatures, particularly from 500 °C to less than 200 °C & to cool
down hot gases coming from incinerator, using water, will be provided
Bag House: Flue gases will be passed through bag filters for removal of particulates.
Wet alkaline scrubber (Venturi and Packed Bed): Dry lime and activated carbon are
injected for neutralization of acidic gases (HCl, HF, and SO2) and removal of organic
constituents. Adsorption by activated carbon to remove any dioxin & furans, mercury (if
present in waste feed) in the flue gases
Mist eliminator: Often there is a need to eliminate the mist in the stack emissions,
therefore, de-mister will be provided.
ID Fan: to maintain the entire system in negative draft for proper removal of flue gases.
HEPA Filter: The gases from the ID fan would be allowed to pass through a fine
particulate filter in order to remove the very fine particulates before they are let out into
the atmosphere though the chimney.
Stack: Incinerator & DG Set will be provided with a stack height meeting MOEF&CC
Guidelines (minimum 30 m & 5.0 m, respectively) for proper dispersion of cleaned gases
in atmosphere.
Controls and monitoring: Operation within the key parameters of the combustion
process is assured by systems of monitors and computer controls. These systems make
automatic adjustments to key functions as necessary. For example, if temperatures begin
to drop below desired range; supplemental waste fuels are automatically injected.
Conversely, if temperatures rise above the desired range, waste feeds rate is reduced.
All regulated incinerators have waste feed cut-offs (WFCOs) to assure protective
operations. WFCOs automatically stop the feeding of waste into the incinerator if any of
the key parameters falls outside the narrow range of operating requirements even
momentarily.

In order to monitor key parameters “Online Flue gas analyzer” will be installed as per
norms laid down by CPCB.
Dioxins & Furan control
To prevent reformation of dioxins, rapid lowering of the flue gas temperatures,
particularly from 500 °C to less than 200 °C by adopting rapid quench will be done.
To reduce the precursors essential for formation of Dioxins & Furans, complete
combustion to the extent possible, will be ensured in secondary chamber by
maintaining minimum temperature of about 1050 ± 50° C and a residence time of at
least 2 seconds.
4.3.5.5. Impact of Odour on Air Quality
Odour sensation is induced by inhaling airborne volatile organics or inorganic, which may
or may not have toxic effects. Odour is typically generated if the waste is not stored
properly before or after treatment or from the operations of effluent treatment plant.
Odor Control Measures
Suction hood to be provided in hazardous waste storage area.
Afterburner (direct) technique (doubling residence time to enable afterburner
temperature to be reduced to 20°C to 100°C and flue gas handling systems to achieve
better destruction or removal efficiency;
Flue gas shall be passed through wet scrubbing system involving removal of odour
by absorption;
Providing mask to the employees at the site to avoid health issues due to obnoxious
odor.
Development of vegetation growth to cover of the open areas of the site reduces
odour. Good plantation cover forms a surface capable of absorbing and forming
sinks for odourous gases. Leaves, with their large combined areas in a tree crown,
sorbs pollutants on their surface, thus effectively reduce odourous compound
concentrations.

Dilution of odourant by odour counter action or neutralize by spraying Ecosorb
(organic and biodegradable chemical) around odour generation areas at regular
intervals.
Good housekeeping practices will be followed.
4.3.5.6. Fugitive emissions/effluents & management
Fugitive emissions from storage & handling area for hazardous materials are envisaged
due to proposed project. Odor of raw materials & end waste/end product shall be limited
to project area. Fugitive emissions shall be controlled by taking following steps:
All liquid raw materials and intermediates shall be charged into incinerator with
pumps or under gravity through closed pipes.
All vents of holding tanks and dosing vessels shall be connected to a Vent Scrubber
system comprising of a suction blower, Alkali Scrubber and an Activated Carbon
Column before venting through a tall stack.
All process emissions will be passed through properly designed scrubber and finally
released in to atmosphere through adequate stack height;
TOC present in the vent gas stream shall be absorbed in the Activated Carbon tower.
All pumps handling hazardous chemicals shall be provided with mechanical seals to
prevent fugitive emission. Wherever possible magnetic coupled pumps will be used.
Any spillage from drums etc. will be absorbed with saw dust / soda ash and moped
clean. The contaminated absorbent will be safely disposed off along with hazardous
waste.
Storage tank will be provided with level gauge, dyke wall, automated loading and
unloading for the chemicals to avoid human contact.
All storage tanks will be designed and placed according to the Industrial Safety &
Health Department.

Treatment technology:
MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene bio-film carriers operating
in mixed motion within an aerated wastewater treatment basin. Each individual bio-
carrier increases productivity through providing protected surface area to support
the growth of heterotrophic and autotrophic bacteria within its cells. It is this high-
density population of bacteria that achieves high-rate biodegradation within the
system, while also offering process reliability and ease of operation.
This technology provides cost-effective treatment with minimal maintenance since
MBBR processes self-maintain an optimum level of productive bio-film.
Additionally, the bio-film attached to the mobile bio-carriers within the system
automatically responds to load fluctuations.

4.3.7.3. Impact on Surface Water & Ground Water Quality
Water contamination may occur due to:
Discharge of untreated wastewater outside the project premises.
Depletion of water sources due to use of surface water.
Run-off contamination in case of any leakage from hazardous waste storage area.
However, no wastewater will be discharged outside the project premises hence impact
on surface water quality will be negligible.
4.3.7.4. Mitigation Measures
Domestic wastewater will be discharged through septic tank into soak pit.
All the hazardous waste will be stored as per guidelines in storage area with
impervious flooring to control any leachate and prevent ground/surface water
contamination.
Garland drains connected to ETP will be provided around storage area, vehicle
washing area.

4.3.8. Impact on Noise Levels
The major source of noise generating source during the operation phase of the proposed
hazardous waste treatment & incinerator project are incinerator, diesel generator set,
shredder, pumps and compressors, ID Fan, E-waste segregation & dismantling, vehicles
etc.
4.3.8.1. Mitigation Measures
Indian Standard for noise level specifies the limiting value of an overall noise level for a
specified area. However, OSHA standard calls for regulations of noise level around the
noise emitting equipment.
All equipments in the proposed project will be designed /operated to have a noise
level not exceeding prescribed standard in line with the requirements of OSHA.
Acoustic enclosures for considerable noise generating point sources such as DG Set
will be provided for noise attenuation.

Rotation of workers in the high noise area will be done.
Green belt will be developed to reduce noise.
Equipment will be maintained in good working order to reduce noise.
All equipment will be operated within specified design parameters.
4.3.9. Impacts on Socio-Economic Environment
TSDF projects are economical and environment friendly solutions for tackling the
problem of Hazardous Waste. While assessing the socio-economic and health impact of
the people of surrounding villages of the project site it has been noticed that the
proposed project will generate some job opportunities in the area during the construction
& operation phase and also will solve the hazardous waste management problems in the
area.
4.3.9.1. During Construction Phase
Construction phase generally will have very limited impacts which are as under:
1. Influx of population:
Unskilled labor will be hired at cheap cost from different region including the nearby
villages. This may create a feeling of insecurities among the local villagers due
exposure to unknown people and their cultures. But as local people will be given
priority, so a few population from other state will not pose any serious threat to local
culture.
2. Dust Emissions impacting health & hygiene
Dust will me emitted during construction phase due to vehicular movement and
construction activities which will in turn impact the health of the people nearby
villages and the passerby. This may cause breathing problems to the villagers.
However this impact is temporary and will be limited to the site only.

3. Increase of Temporary Employment opportunities
Construction phase will require unskilled laborers for the development of the site.
Local unskilled population is expected to get job in the development phase of the
project. Hence temporary increase of job opportunities is envisaged.
4.3.9.2. During Operation Phase
The operation phase of the project will have positive impact in the surrounding areas.
However, some side effects cannot be ignored which may arise for any developmental
projects. The positive and negative impacts are highlighted in the following sections.
Positive Impact
1. Employment Opportunities for Job Seekers
The proposed project will require unskilled, semiskilled and skilled people during its
operation and construction phases which in turn would generate some direct and
indirect employment. Although only about 15 people are proposed to be directly
employed for the proposed project among which maybe some of them will be from
local villages, however any developmental project creates alternate indirect
employment. The proposed project will benefit the small scale business men or other
semiskilled laborers indirectly due to the requirement of workers in trail making,
auxiliary and ancillary works, supply of raw material, or for opening snacks corners
near the facility, or for supply of medicines for the plant workers etc. This will lead
to generation of employment at local level. This will improve the living standard of
society and will provide safe & hygienic surrounding. The proposed activities shall
generate indirect employment in the region which would marginally improve the
economic status of the people in local area, and hence also reduce the rate of
migration to outside.
2. Improvement of the local Infrastructure:
The proposed project is expected to improve the infrastructure in the surrounding
villages.

Approach roads will be upgraded to facilitate movement of the heavy equipment
required in the project which in turn would lead to improvement in transport
facilities. Lighting will be provided on the approach roads. Developed roads lead to
better connectivity.
3. Improvement of the living standard area due to CSR activities
Nearby villages will get developed through Corporate Social Responsibility (CER)
activities of the company. Project proponent may provide educational aid to local
villages based on need and request from the village Panchayat. This project will
bring social change in the society with improved socio-economic life of the local
people
.
4. Improvement of the Nation’s Economic conditions
Government will get different types of taxes, Excise duty, state sale tax or VAT etc.
5. Augmentation of the water table
The company is going to recharge groundwater through rainwater harvesting which
will improve ground water table of the area.
6. Impact on Aesthetic Beauty, foul smell & health of the people and animals
Due to non-availability of appropriate land parcel away from human settlement, the
hazardous waste management is a problem to the society. The toxic hazardous
substances in the wastes in the local area generated from surrounding industries and
households are lying as heap on adjacent roads near Jokhabad village which are
harmful to human and animal health. Also the aesthetic beauty of the area is affected.
Also foul smell sometimes comes out from the area creates odor problem in the
surrounding. The plastics if eaten by cows could be fatal. The leachates from these
Solid wastes can pollute water and their burning can lead to air pollution. Besides
these, these solid waste dumps are the source of food for various rodents like rats,
flies, mosquitoes and the like which can cause many diseases.

The proposed waste treatment facility will manage the hazardous waste in the area
which in turn will check the smell and control the rodents and flies reducing the
impacts on health of the local people. Also it will improve the aesthetic beauty of the
area by clearing the garbage of the road.
7. Impact on Demographic Scenario of the Project Area.
There is no massive employment augmentation is expected in the proposed project,
hence there will be no in-migration of people from the nearby areas of the project.
The setting up of expansion of Waste to Energy project will not lead to any increase
in local population as the local people from the neighboring areas will only be
recruited for the job. Also neither there will be any out-migration for the proposed
project. Therefore, there will be no change in the demographic pattern of the study
area including sex ratio.
Negative impact
1. Impact on Human health & Environment
There is a need to handle the Hazardous Solid Waste (MSW) with due care while
transporting, storing and managing the same. The risks involved are:
i. Potential risks to the public may arise not through direct contact with the waste,
but off-site, as a result of exposure to the hazardous waste.
ii. Due to the proposed project activities fugitive emission will be generated which is
due to spreading of waste at landfill. Also during material handling and vehicular
movement and loading/unloading of hazardous waste brought to the site will
generate large amount of dust and gaseous emission if no action is taken for
suppressing it at source. While the immediate effects of the dust and particulate
matters will be poor visibility but intake of dust and other gaseous emissions
through inhalation and oral route can have health impacts at the secondary stage.
Dioxin is a poisonous gas, if inhaled directly may lead to cancerous diseases.

iii. Accidental emissions and discharges to air, water and land from events such as a
collision involving a waste tanker on the public highway or a fire in a tank farm
can cause health effects the surrounding people on the road and to workers.
iv. Although the gaseous emission during plant operation will be at Low-level,
continuous, controlled‘ emissions, however due to any accidental failure of the
plant or due to poor incinerator combustion conditions the uncontrolled flow of
hydrocarbon during blow out may cause serious long term health injuries
including fatality to workers as well as to the surrounding communities through
inhalation or ingestion. These health injuries will be mainly respiratory damage,
cancerous effect, or neurological effect, morbidity or mortality.
v. Discharge of leachate and any other fluid owing to poor landfill containment or
due to poor design or operational practices during routine operation of plant also
can mix with the ground water table or with any surface water bodies which may
come in contact with the human skin or mix with the drinking water. These
emissions and discharges may create precarious health problems like cancer, skin
damage and irritations, disruptive reproductive effects, neurological damage,
thyroid systems, etc.
2. Impact on Property rate
Social impacts like property price depreciation represent an external ‘cost’ of waste
disposal and treatment facilities. Property values are also affected by their proximity
to a new landfill.
3. Impact on groundwater level and quality
As this project is going to use ground water for its requirement, its impact will be
reflected on ground water level. The villagers may have problem for access to
groundwater after certain years. Also if in any other operation practice like poor
storage maintenance, there may be leachate discharge or any toxic fluid discharge
from the project site which may contaminate the groundwater which in turn may
have health effects in the surrounding villages.

4.3.9.3. Mitigation Measures
Waste treatment projects can form an essential part of an integrated waste management
system, yet strict controls are necessary to prevent its negative impacts on human health
and environment. The proposed project site is located within an industrial area of
Sikandrabad. Already, the area has problems of drinking water facilities, groundwater
depletion and air pollution which may aggravate due to proposed project. During the
course of the study, some social factors were identified that might influence the human
life socially and economically due to the proposed project.
Following precautionary mitigation measures should to be followed to mitigate adverse
impacts:
i. Vehicle used for transportation of hazardous waste will be in accordance with the
provisions under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1986, and rules made there under.
Transporter will possess valid authorization from State Pollution Control Board for
transportation of wastes. The words "HAZARDOUS WASTE" will be displayed on
all sides of the vehicle. Name of the facility operator or the transporter, as the case
may be, also will be displayed.
ii. Vehicles will be fitted with roll-on/roll-off covers if the individual containers do not
possess the same.
iii. In the event of a leak or accidental spill of hazardous waste during its transport, the
transporter will take immediate and appropriate actions, including notifying local
authorities of the discharge. An area may have to be diked to contain the wastes, and
efforts must be undertaken to remove the wastes and reduce environmental or public
health hazards
iv. Periodic Monitoring for environmental quality for air, water, soil and noise by third
parties will be done and its frequencies will be increased with. A proper groundwater
monitoring system and leakage detection and monitoring system is proposed in the
project. The Proponent assures to take immediate action if the report contains any
alarmed values.

v. Periodic checking of the functioning of the machineries is proposed done to check
any unsatisfactory performance of the machineries to avoid any mishap of
environmental and social concerns.
vi. The project proponent ensures proper health and safety facilities for all the
employees at work. He is committed to maintain safe work environment and ensure
that the machinery and equipment in use are safe for the employees.
vii. Proper medical facilities will be available within the facility in case of emergencies.
viii. In the CER activities some free medical camps may be conducted at the surrounding
areas to check the health status of the people to get confirm that whether their health
is affected by any emission related reasons or any other reasons. Also in turn the
local people will be medically benefitted by the help of the project authorities.
ix. Adequate health education and information related to the job must be provided to the
workers. Baseline health information should be recorded for future references.
x. Tie up with the nearest hospitals will be done to meet the medical needs of the plant
workers.
4.3.10. Impact on Ecological Environment

Quantifying Biological Impact
Biological Impact Score (BIS) is calculated by multiplying the Consequence Score
(CS) and the Occurrence Frequency Score (OFS) together. As a result,
{BIS = CS × OFS}
The final score is in relative point score, rather than actual impact. The impact
evaluation is carried out assuming an implementation of sound management
programmes to maintain healthy biological environment conditions. Also, helps to
frame mitigation measures for reducing the ecological impact and thereafter, formulate
effective Environmental Management Plans (EMPs).
Categorization of Intensity of Biological Impact
Biological impacts are categorized in to five levels from Insignificant to Extremely
Severe. Each level of impact needs different action to manage / control / supervise it in
proper way. Details are tabulated in the following table.

Chapter V: Analysis of
Alternative Site & Technology
5.1 Introduction
The identification of alternatives forming part of the EIA process, inter alia pursues the
legal principle of best practicable environmental options and by implication to minimize
the effect of the generation of waste on the environment.
The proposed common facility will have Hazardous Waste incinerator (10 MT/day),
E-Waste dismantling & segregation (10 MT/day) and recycling/reconditioning of
discarded containers (10 MT/day). In addition to the above, an Effluent Treatment Plant
of capacity 7.0 KLD & provisions for temporary and long term storages for waste have
been proposed. The proposed site will be guided under the Hazardous & Other Waste
(Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016, E-Waste Management Rules,
2016 & guidelines of CPCB.
5.2. Site Selection
For waste incineration, the local factors to be taken into account may, amongst others,
include:
Local environmental drivers, for example background environmental quality may
influence the required local performance in respect of releases from the
installation, or availability of certain resources;
The particular nature of the waste(s) that arise locally and the impact of the waste
management infrastructure upon the type and nature of waste arriving at the
installation;

Industrial Area, District Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh
Promoter: M/s Sheetala Waste Management Project Chapter V: Analysis of Alternative site & technology
Gaurang Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd Page 227
Report Ref: GESPL/SWMP/EIA/258 Rev No. 02
The cost and technical possibility of implementing a particular technique in
relation to its potential advantages – this is of particular relevance when
considering the performance of existing installations;
The availability, degree of utilization and price of options for the recovery and
disposal of residues produced at the installation;
The availability of users and price received for recovered energy;
Local economic, market and political factors that may influence the tolerability of
the higher gate fees that may accompany the addition of certain technological
options.
The site has been selected in view of providing infrastructure for treatment and safe
disposal of Hazardous Waste, E-Waste & discarded containers generated from various
industries. No site alternatives were analysed as the site located in UPSIDC
Sikandrabad Industrial Area, fulfills the requirements for the proposed project.
The Industrial area where the upcoming facility is proposed has various industries of
paints, printing & dyeing, automobiles, sugar, pesticides etc. These industries
generates considerable amount of incinerable Hazardous Wastes, E-Waste & generates
significant amount of discarded containers which can be recycled/reconditioned.
In view of the above, the selected location for the proposed project has been deemed
appropriate.
The Site location has the following advantages
Site is located in a notified Industrial Area.
Easy availability of infrastructure such as water and power.
Well connected by Road & Rail.
Industries can avail the benefit of proposed common waste treatment facility for
disposal of their incinerable hazardous waste, e-waste & discarded containers.
5.3. Technology Alternatives
The most common combustion technology in hazardous waste incineration is the
rotary kiln. Hazardous waste incineration offers the benefits of

Industrial Area, District Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh
Promoter: M/s Sheetala Waste Management Project Chapter V: Analysis of Alternative site & technology
Gaurang Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd Page 228
Report Ref: GESPL/SWMP/EIA/258 Rev No. 02
Destruction of organic (including toxic) materials,
Volume reduction
Reduction in concentration of pollutants into relatively small quantities of ashes;
and,
Less frequently, energy recovery.
For the incineration of hazardous waste, rotary kilns are most commonly used but
grate incinerators (including co-firing with other wastes) are also sometimes applied to
solid wastes, and fluidized bed incinerators to some pretreated materials. Static
furnaces are also widely applied at on-site facilities at chemical plants.
It should be noted that technologies develop continuously, particularly as it relates to
waste management. The technology of treatment of hazardous waste to be adopted in
proposed project is thermal destruction based on Incinerator technology involving
combustion & oxidation of waste at suitable high temperatures in primary &
secondary combustion chambers followed by Quenching for control of dioxins
followed by Air Pollution Control Equipments like Cyclone separator, bag house/ESP,
Venturi Scrubber, Packed Bed Scrubber, HEPA filter leading to ID fan and Stack.
Thus a complete treatment system for burning of wastes including series of air
pollution control equipments for control of emissions to atmosphere to have a
complete process control. The entire system will be automated and controlled by
online measurements and monitoring system.

6.0 Introduction
This chapter presents the details of environmental monitoring, schedule, institutional
arrangements for pollution control, cost for environmental protection measures and
details of greenbelt development for the proposed project.
6.1. Environment Monitoring
Regular monitoring of the various environmental parameters is necessary to evaluate
the effectiveness of the management programme so that the necessary corrective
measures can be taken in case there are some drawbacks in the proposed programme.
Since environmental quality parameters at work zone and surrounding area are
important for maintaining sound operating practices of the project in conformity with
environmental regulations, the post project monitoring work forms part of
Environmental Monitoring Program. Environmental Monitoring Program will be
implemented once the project activity commences.
Environmental Monitoring Program includes:
1) Environmental surveillance
2) Analysis and interpretation of data
3) Preparation of reports to support environmental management system and
4) Organizational set up responsible for the implementation of the programme.
Environmental Monitoring will be taken up for various environmental components as
per conditions stipulated in Environmental Clearance Letter issued by MoEF&CC and

7.1. Introduction
Industrial activities including process, production, storage, handling, transportation
and operational practices presents levels of hazards to workforce, population and
environment at large due to accidents, spills, leaks etc. These accidents results in
personal and financial loss. The assessment of the threat posed, its control and
prevention through good design, management and operational controls is of primal
importance. Events like the Bhopal tragedy have emphasized the need to address both
on-site and off-site safety. It is against this background that the various Section and
Rules under the Environment Protection Act, 1986, the Factories Act, 1948 and other
Acts specify the requirements for a safe and reliable working of an industry. These
require carrying out various studies and analysis to assess and mitigate hazards
prevalent in the industry in line with the above goal of safe and reliable working.
These are more commonly known as “Risk Assessment Studies”. Risk assessment
refers to the technical, scientific assessment of the nature and magnitude of risk and
uses a factual base to define the health effects of exposure of individuals or
populations or ecological receptors to hazardous contaminants and situations.
This chapter explains the basis of Risk Assessment and its objectives.
7.2. Public Consultation
The proposed project is exempted from Public hearing as per point no. 7 of the ToR
prescribed to the project and para 7(i) III stage (3)(i)(b) of EIA notification, 2006, for
preparation of EIA/EMP report, being site is located in UPSIDC, Sikandrabad
Industrial Area (Annexure I). The project activities will be carried out as per
Environment Protection Act & Rules & EIA notification, 2006.

7.3. Risk Assessment
Industrial accidents results in great personal and financial loss. Managing these
accidental risks in today’s environment is the concern of every industry including
TSDFs, because either real or perceived incidents can quickly jeopardize the financial
viability of a business. Many facilities involve various manufacturing processes that
have the potential for accidents which may be catastrophic to the plant, work force,
environment, or public.
The main objective of risk assessment study is to propose a comprehensive but simple
approach to carry out risk analysis and conducting feasibility studies for industries and
planning and management of industrial prototype hazard analysis study.
7.1.1. Risk analysis
Risk analysis deals with identification and computation of consequence and risks.
Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. This requires a thorough
knowledge of probability of failure, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of
population to exposure etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate.
Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum credible accident
scenarios. It provides basis for preparation of on-site and off-site emergency plan
and also to incorporate safety measures.
7.1.2. Hazard Identification
Identification of hazards in the proposed project is of primary significance of the
analysis, and quantification of risk hazard indicates the characteristics of hazardous
wastes that pose potential for an emergency situation in the event of spillage and
accidental release of hazardous wastes from the site.
All the components of a system/plant/process need to be thoroughly examined to
assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of
events, which can be termed as an accident.
Types of hazardous waste (solid & liquid):
Project: Common Hazardous Waste Incinerator & Other waste treatment facility at UPSIDC,
Sikandrabad Industrial Area, District Bulandshahr, Uttar Pradesh
Promoter: M/s Sheetala Waste Management Project Chapter VII: Additional Studies
Gaurang Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Page 245
Report Ref: GESPL/SWM /EIA/258 Rev No. 02
Flammable wastes
Corrosive Wastes
Reactive wastes
Toxic wastes
Hazard Identification is a critical step in Risk Analysis. A classical definition of
hazard states that hazard is in fact the characteristic of system/plant/process that
presents potential for an accident. Hence all the components of a
system/plant/process need to be thoroughly examined in order to assess their
potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events, which
can be termed as an accident.
In Risk Analysis terminology a hazard is something with the potential to cause
harm. Hence the Hazard Identification step is an exercise that seeks to identify what
can go wrong at the major hazard installation or process in such a way that people
may be harmed. The output of this step is a list of events that need to be passed on
to later steps for further analysis.
7.4. Responsibilities of the facility operator:
Accepting hazardous wastes at the unit from the generators authorized by
SPCB/PCC.
Establishing a system for optimal movement of hazardous wastes transportation,
treatment and disposal operations, this may include resource recovery/recycling as
the case may be.
Fingerprinting analysis to confirm the wastes shall be the responsibility of the
operator

7.9. Thermal Radiation Hazards
Thermal radiation hazards result from the ignition and subsequent burning of either a
flammable liquid or flammable gas. The severity of the hazard is a function of the
flame size, heat flux and exposure time. There are two concerns with thermal
radiation, namely its impact on humans and the potential for the development of
secondary fires. Table below summarizes the risk to humans and the limiting flux for
secondary fires.

7.9.1. Effects of Pressure/Blast Waves
During operational phase of incinerator, possibility of blast of incinerator cannot be
completely denied. The effects of over pressurization generated in a blast can
adversely affect either people or structures. Exposure of the body to shock over
pressurization from a sudden release of gas at high pressure can produce traumatic
effects. The degree of damage depends on both the pressure level and the area of the
body exposure. Humans are reasonably resilient to over pressure from explosions,
with a peak over pressurization of 34 kPa being the threshold of eardrum damage,
69 kPa being the threshold of lung damage (HSE, 1981). At higher pressure levels

Along with the above measures provided both in design and operational phase for
control of risk due to proposed activities, GMB will ensure through its operator that
probability of risk will be avoided if not then minimized through proper
management of the facility.
7.9.3. Risk due to adjacent settlement
The proposed project is located in an industrial area. The unit is surrounded by
vacant plots on both left and right sides; however a shed is present on the right side
of the plot. There is a similar kind of industry at the opposite side of the unit on the

other side of the road. Risks associated with operational phase of incinerator also
include spillage of hazardous waste during transportation if the vehicle carrying
waste meets with an accident. Suitable safety measures are taken to address possible
risk during operational stage of incinerator i.e. safeguards taken during design stage,
management of hazardous waste during transportation, handling and storage, GPS
tracking of all the vehicles involved in transportation of hazardous waste so that
during emergency situation respective vehicle can be tracked and necessary actions
are taken to control the emergency situation.
7.10. Disaster Management Plan
Emergency prevention through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection
are essential to reduce the probability of occurrence and consequential effect of such
eventualities. However, it is not possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and
random failures of equipment or human errors, omissions and unsafe acts cannot be
ruled out. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore, to be concerned

with mitigating the effects of such Emergency and restoration of normalcy at the
earliest.
Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day-today patterns of life are, in many
instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering
and as a result the need for clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other
necessities of life will be of paramount importance.
The disasters such as:
Disasters resulting from the natural phenomena like earthquakes, volcanic
eruptions, storms, surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, landslides, forest fires
and massive insect manifestation. Also in this group, violent draught will cause a
creeping disaster leading to feminine, disease and death must be included
Second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man or by man’s impact
upon the environment such as armed conflict, industrial accidents, factory fires,
explosions and escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution,
mining or other structural collapses, air, sea, rail and road transport accidents,
aircraft crashes, collisions of vehicles carrying flammable materials, oil spills at
sea and dam failures
The overall objective of a disaster management plan is to make use of the combined
resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following:
To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it;
To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property;
Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
Safeguard other people;
Evacuate people to safe areas;
Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities;

Provide authoritative information to news media;
Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;
Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause
and circumstances of the emergency;
Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence
The DMP has therefore to be related to the identification of sources from which
hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the
concerned area. The plan takes into account the maximum credible loss scenario -
actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ Emergency need to be well
planned so as they would require less effort and resources to control and terminate
emergencies, should the same occur.
7.10.1. Emergency Equipment
The site controller will maintain a list of emergency handling equipment including
details of fire extinguishers, protective clothing, and personal protective equipment
for emergency handlers etc. Details of fire management services of Bhavnagar city
and neighboring hospitals will be available with site controller in his operating
checklist.
7.10.2. Fire Fighting Arrangements
The complex is provided with storage of water and various types of portable fire
extinguishers namely Dry Chemical Powder type and CO2 type & Foam Type to
face any emergency arising due to the occurrence of fire.
Water Reservoir
1. Over ground water reservoir capacity: 2 Nos. X 5 m3

Sufficient number of dry Chemical Powder type and CO2 type portable fire
extinguishers are installed on each floor of the plant. Suitable fire extinguishers are
also provided in all MCC room, PCC room & ETP, storage area & Security gate.
7.10.3. Actuation of the Plan
Any emergency starts as a small incident that may become a major accident if not
controlled in time. At the initial stages, the fire organization chart (would be
prepared separately for each facility) shall need to be put into action. If the incident
goes beyond control, the Main Incident Controller will need to actuate the on-site
plan at the appropriate stage as considered necessary. During idle shift/ holidays, the
security personnel will combat the incident as per the fire organization chart below
and at the same time inform various emergency controllers for guidance and control
of the situation. An emergency organization chart is prepared by appointing key
personnel and defining their specific duties that will be handy in emergency, details
of the chart is provided in the next section.
7.11. Emergency Organization Chart
No plan will succeed without effective emergency organization. Emergency
organization is a part and parcel of a good onsite and offsite emergency plan, without
which all resources, facilities etc. even available with us, cannot be put into services
as the right time is the key factor for management of an emergency. It is not possible
to envisage and detail every action which should be taken in emergency and to
harness the basic elements of emergency preparedness such as gravity of the
emergency, communications of information, onsite action for process and emergency
controls, mobilization of internal and external resources for fire and toxic release
control, warning people at right time, evacuation, medical preparedness, pollution
control etc. Emergency organization is set up specifying duties and responsibilities of
all to make best use of all resources to avoid confusion while tackling the emergency.
Figure below provided detailed information on emergency organization chart.

Fig. 7.1: Emergency Organization Chart
Onsite emergency plan highlights the flow of information and correlation among
various action groups within the factory. Offsite emergency plan indicates various
action groups at district levels which will get engaged in case of offsite emergency.
7.11.1. Offsite Emergency Plan
The off-site emergency plan prepared herein will deal with those incidents identified
in the onsite plan, which have the potential to harm persons or the environment
outside the boundary of the factory premises. In the recent past, in spite of the safety
planning there have been accidents in the Common Hazardous Waste Treatment,
Storage and Disposal Facilities in the Country.
Whenever such an emergency occurred there is a great need to control and isolate
the danger and to minimize the adverse affect to the greatest extent possible. This
plan has been drawn up with the District Contingency plan for an effective system
of command in control in combating the emergency.

7.11.1.1. Main purposes of the offsite emergency plan are:
To provide the local / district authorities, police, fire brigade, doctors,
surrounding industries and public, the basic information of risk and
environmental impact assessment and to appraise them of the consequences
and the protection / prevention measures and control plans and to seek their
help to communicate with the public in case of a major emergency
To assist the District Authorities for preparing the off-site emergency plan for
the district or any particular area and to organize rehearsal on regular basis and
initiate corrective action based on the lessons learnt.
Structure of the Off-Site Emergency Plan
The offsite emergency plan should be integrated properly with the District
Contingency Plan to tackle any kind of emergency. The site main controller will
keep liaison for this purpose with the District authorities. External telephone
facilities from site to Fire Brigades, Other units and Hospital, have been
established for quick and instantaneous communication. The names of the key
persons have been defined to establish contacts and co-ordinate Disaster
Management Centre.
In case of an occurrence of any major emergency:
In case of the occurrence of any off site emergency information shall be received
first by the Police Control Room on telephone No. 100 or by Fire Brigade. The
Police/Fire Brigade Control Room shall in turn inform the Police Commissioner,
Collector and Municipal Commissioner. The safety department and individual
plant have the list of quantities of the resources like breathing air sets, rescue
masks, fire extinguishers, water resources etc. available with various industries in
the vicinity which can be spared under Mutual Aid System to deal with
emergencies after receiving call from our factory.

When any disaster occurs, the industry affected by the disaster will immediately
inform the Disaster Management Center (DMC). With all available information,
the DMC will act as per the Contingency Plan and also will immediately
communicate to the District Collectorate.
Role of the Factory Management
A copy of the Onsite / Offsite emergency plan has been given by the site Main
Controller to the Factory inspectorate who is acting as an Ex-officer Security to
the District Contingency Plan. The plan has to be continuously updated and
necessary changes have to be incorporated.
7.11.2. Emergency Response
A. Dangerous Situations
These are defined as the following:
Any fire or explosion in the facility
Any smoke outside/inside installation
Strong persisting smell of H2S within the facility
Any fire in the service buildings
Fire or explosion in the process area
Fire in the hazardous waste storage area
B. Emergency Response for Incinerator Plant
Basic Actions:
Immediate action is the most important factor in the emergency control
because the first few seconds count.
Take immediate steps to stop fire and raise alarm simultaneously.
Stop all operations and ensure closure of all isolation valves.
As fires develop and spread quickly, so all out efforts should be made to
contain the spread of fire.

Plant personnel without any specific duties should assemble at the nominated
place.
All vehicles except those that are required for emergency use should be moved
away from the operating area in an orderly manner at pre nominated route.
Electrical system except the lighting and fire fighting system should be
isolated.
If the feed to the fire cannot be cut off, the fire must be controlled and not
extinguished.
Start water spray systems in the areas involved in or exposed to secondary fire
risks.
Block all roads in the adjacent area and enlist police support for the purpose, if
warranted.
Actions in the Event of Fire:
Basic actions as detailed above.
Extinguishing fires: A small fire at a point of leakage should be extinguished
by enveloping with a water spray or a suitable smothering agent such as CO2
or DCP.
Fire fighting personnel working in or close to un-ignited vapour clouds or
close to fire, must be protected continuously by water sprays. Fire fighters
should advance towards the fire downwind if possible- BE CAREFUL TO
AVOID H2S EXPOSURE.
In case the only valve that can be used to stop the leakage is surrounded by
fire, it may be possible to close it manually. The person attempting the closure
should be continuously protected by water sprays, fire entry suit, water jet
blanket and SCBAs etc. The person must be equipped with a safety belt and a
manned lifeline. In case of rapid increase in decibel level, evacuate the area, as
there would have been over pressurization.
C. Post Emergency Follow Up

Report Ref: GESPL/SWM /EIA/258 Rev No. 02
All cases of fire occurrence, no matter how small, must be reported promptly
to the Coordinator for follow up.
Under no circumstances should fire extinguishing equipment once used be
returned to its fixed location before it is recharged/ certified fit by the Fire
chief/ Safety Manager.
Used fire extinguishers must be laid horizontally to indicate that they have
been expended.
7.11.3. Communication System
As Effective and immediate communication of emergency is vital in the process of
emergency handling. It helps to mobilize the resources at the earliest and attack on
the emergency at its incipient stage. Under section 41B of the factories act, the
disclosure of information regarding chemicals & their hazards to the workers,
general public, local authority and the factory Inspectorate is compulsory. Such
communication is at the District level. This information is already given.
Communication system at site has been divided into four parts as mentioned below:
1. Internal communication for informing the emergency
2. To outside key personnel, emergency services and authorities
3. To neighboring factories and public in the vicinity.
4. The communication for declaring the emergency.
The communication system with regard to raising the alarm, declaring the major
emergency and procedures to make it known to other is explained below in brief.
Alarm System
When the area of the site and the number of installations are more, siren has to be
installed for general communication to the people. It can be used for declaring the

Promoter: M/s Sheetala Waste Management Project Chapter VII: Additional Studies
Gaurang Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd. Page 262
Report Ref: GESPL/SWM /EIA/258 Rev No. 02
Onsite as well as Offsite emergency and making the emergency known to the
people. The siren is installed at security gate for declaring the emergency.
SMALL FIRE: No Siren
MAJOR FIRE: A wailing Siren for two minutes. Sirens will be sounded three
times for thirty seconds with an interval of 15 seconds in between
EMERGENCY: Same type of Siren as in case of major fire but the same will be
sounded for three times at the interval of two minutes.
ALL CLEAR (For Fire): Straight Run Siren for two minutes.
TEST: Straight run Siren for two minutes.
Siren system is being tested every WEDNESDAY at 11.00 A.M.
7.11.4. Declaring the Major Emergency
The declaration of major emergency puts many agencies on action and the
consequences may be serious, therefore, such declaration should be based on careful
thoughts and matured judgment. Because of the scale of activity which will be
activated after the declaration of the emergency, it is advisable to restrict the
authority to declare it. In our case, Site Main Controller shall declare major
emergency. In case of extra ordinary emergency Incident Controller/Dy. Incident
Controller can take decision for declaring the emergency.
7.11.5. Emergency Control Centre (ECC)
The Emergency Control Centre is at Security Office. The emergency control center
or room is a place from where the operation to handle the emergency are directed,
coordinated and monitored. It will be attended by the site Main Controller and
senior officials of fire Dept., Police Dept., Factory Inspectorate, District Authorities

7.11.6. Emergency Evacuation
Evacuation is an expedient option that depends on sufficient warning time to get
away from an impending emergency. The evacuation should establish clear and
detailed procedures for carrying out complete or partial evacuations from work
areas in an organized and consistent manner. A disorganized evacuation can result
in confusion, injury, and property damage. During natural or man-made disaster
following points will be considered in the emergency evacuation:
A clear chain of command and designation of the person in the facility authorized to
order an evacuation
In case of disaster, all non-essential technical workers (who are not assigned any
emergency duty) shall evacuate the area and report at the assembly point
The need to evacuate the non-essential technical workers will be determined by
the gravity of the emergency and assessment of the emergency by the Dy.
Incident Controller
With a view to accommodate the evacuated personnel from the affected
plants/departments and also to make the evacuation safe, we have clearly
marked an assembly point which has been displayed conspicuously by boards at
various locations in the premises
The assembly point is located near the Security Gate. The assembly point is
approachable from all the plants and departments
Security supervisor/guard are available round the clock and shall monitor the
assembled personnel
Before reaching the assembly point, it is required to pass through an affected
area, suitable personal protective appliances including masks, respirator etc. are
to be used which is available in the plants. For a short duration even a wet
handkerchief will be useful

In our case, Site Main Controller shall declare major emergency.
7.11.7. Medical Resources
The medical management for the possible emergency situations essentially consists
of treatment for burns and maybe some asphyxiation cases. They could cause burns
injuries. Material Safety Data Sheets and other relevant information is available at
the facility to enable ready treatment of any casualty, should the unfortunate need
arise. It is also proposed to circulate any important Health and Toxicology material
available through the latest research to all Doctors.
7.11.8. Record keeping and maintenance
Proper records will be maintained for
Industry-wise type of waste received,
Characteristics of waste,
Location of waste storage area,

To the extent possible, manual operations with in storage area are to be avoided.
In case of manual operation, proper precautions need to be taken, particularly
during loading/unloading of liquid hazardous waste in drums.
A system for inspection of storage area to check the condition of containers,
spillages, leakages, etc., will be established and proper records will be
maintained
The wastes containing volatile solvents or other low vapor pressure chemicals
will be adequately protected from direct exposure to sunlight and adequate
ventilation will be provided
Tanks for storage of liquid waste will be properly dyked and will be provided
with adequate transfer systems
Storage sites will have adequate and prompt emergency response equipment
systems for the hazardous waste stored on-site. This will include fire fighting
arrangement based on the risk assessment, spill management, evacuation and
first aid
Immediately on receipt of hazardous waste, it will be analyzed and depending
upon its characteristics its storage will be finalized.
Only authorized personnel trained in hazardous waste handling procedures
should have access to the storage site
Mock drill for on-site emergency should be conducted regularly and records
should be maintained

construction and erection and operation and maintenance phases. However, the
problem varies both in magnitude and variety in the above stages.
Construction and Erection Phase
The problems envisaged at demolition, construction and erection stage can mainly be
due to accident, fugitive dust emissions and noise. To overcome these hazards, the
contractors in charge of construction and erection activities have to maintain noise
levels within threshold limit values and the workers should be provided with
personnel protective equipment. Mobile water sprinkler and wet drilling will be used
to control dust emissions.
Operation and Maintenance Phase
The problems envisaged during the operation and maintenance phase are accident,
exposure to heat, noise, fire etc. Suitable personnel protective equipments should be
provided to all employees, likely to be exposed to these situations. The working
personnel should be given the personnel protective equipment as listed in table below.
In addition, medical facilities should be made available round the clock for attending
any medical emergency during construction and operation phases.

The possibility of suspended particles going into the body of the workmen,
either in the form of inhalation, ingestion or through skin absorption are least
and negligible as because the entire operation at the plant will be performed
under closed loop condition, right from charging till discharging, hence it’s a
rare possibility that the workmen will come in direct contact with raw material
or final goods.
At the same time the level of SPM and RPM will definitely be of least and
nominal value. But even though the same will be under closed monitoring and
periodical surveillance as per EIA norms and applicable legislations and any
minor deviation from the same will be dealt immediately and will be corrected.
Further to this all of the workmen will be provided with complete set of
appropriate PPEs, like dust masks, gloves, helmet, protective uniform and
clothing, eye protections etc.

8.0 Introduction
The Hazardous & Other Waste (Management & Transboundary Movement) Rules,
2016 & E-Waste Management Rules, 2016, bar the industries from dumping their
wastes indiscriminately. At the same time they permit the industries to dispose off
their wastes in safe & secured manner. It has been made mandatory by the
government that hazardous waste be disposed off in a systematic and scientific way
and pollution control boards have been asked to ensure it. For systematic & scientific
disposal of solid wastes, a facility has to be developed where care is to be taken to
restrict to the extent possible, any negative impacts on the environment.
Hazardous waste reuse, recycling, and reclamation can avoid environmental hazards,
protect scarce natural resources, reduce the nation's reliance on raw materials and
energy and provide economic benefits.
8.1 Environmental Benefits
There are several, interrelated environmental benefits of recycling of waste:
reducing the consumption of raw materials,
reducing pollution,
reducing energy use; and
Reducing the volume of waste that must be treated and disposed of.
The extraction, refining, transportation and processing of new raw materials can have
a significant impact on the environment. Recycling of waste can mean less air, water,
and soil pollution associated with these practices.
Also, recycling can reduce emissions of greenhouse gases (GHGs). When wastes are
recycled, less energy is needed to obtain raw materials and to manufacture products.

Promoter: M/s Sheetala Waste Management Project Chapter VIII: Project Benefits
Gaurang Environmental Solutions Pvt. Ltd Page 273
Report Ref: GESPL/SWM /EIA/258 Rev No. 02
When energy demand decreases, fewer fossil fuels are burned and less GHGs are
emitted into the atmosphere, which can help lessen the impacts of climate change and
decrease air pollution.
8.2 Economic Benefits
Environmentally sound treatment & disposal of Hazardous Waste & recycling of E-
Waste & discarded containers is not only good for the environment, but can benefit an
organization’s bottom line. Recycling of waste can increase production efficiency and
reduce costs associated with purchasing raw materials and waste management. A
business may also benefit from the positive or "green" image associated with
recycling, treatment & disposal efforts. For example, a company who values strong
corporate stewardship can increase goodwill with shareholders and consumers and
further distinguish itself from its competitors.
8.3 Socio-Economic Benefits
8.3.1 Employment Potential
Local, skilled & semi-skilled persons like Engineers, chemists, Technicians will have
permanent employment opportunities in plant operations, laboratory & maintenance
activities. Around 15 persons will be employed for the project activities. Drivers for
transportation will be outsourced. Thus the project is envisaged to generate direct &
indirect employment opportunities.
8.3.2 Corporate Environment Responsibility

10.5 Green Belt Development
Green belt design and development has been attributed a great importance and is an
essential element of planning policy.
It is a well-known fact that the trees have substantial inter-specific as well as intra-
specific variation in air pollution tolerance. Therefore, plant species act as bio-
monitoring agent to monitor the air environment as well as to keep and maintain the
project environment healthy
The main objective of the green belt is to provide a buffer / barrier between the
sources of pollution and the surrounding areas. The green belt helps to capture the
fugitive emissions and attenuate the noise apart from improving the aesthetics quality
of the region. Greenbelt will be developed by using appropriate plant species as
suggested by CPCB guidelines to mitigate air pollution and to improve biodiversity
status of the study area.
As a control measure for atmospheric pollution, as a barrier to noise generated in the
plant premises and to utilize the wastewater generated as treated effluent, it is
recommended to develop green belt around the periphery of the plant, along the road
side and other area available for the plantation.

Run-off contamination in case of
any leakage from hazardous waste
storage area.
No ground & surface water will be used
for operations
Domestic wastewater will be discharged
through septic tank into soak pit.
All the hazardous waste will be stored as
per guidelines in storage area with
impervious flooring to control any leachate
and prevent ground/surface water
contamination.
Garland drains connected to ETP will be
provided around storage area, vehicle
washing area.
Periodical monitoring of Ground & surface
water quality will be done as per
guidelines.
Rainwater harvesting for improving
ground water status.
6. Ecology The impact on the surrounding
ecology due to the project will mainly
occur from the deposition of dust
generated due to movement of
vehicles onto the nearby vegetation or
clearing/cutting of trees etc in the
project area.
Impact may also be due to faulty
operations of the incinerator resulting
in spread of hazardous pollutants in
No national park, wildlife sanctuary,
biosphere reserve exists within 10 km area
of the project. Agriculture fields dominate
the terrestrial ecology in the study area.
Adequate measures will be taken to
mitigate pollution.
The incremental emission of air pollutants
during construction phase is not likely to
induce any significant changes in the
terrestrial ecology.
No cutting of trees will be done.
