Chapter 2: METHODOLOGY OF ASSESSMENT

As per notification vide S.O. 804(E) dated 14.03.2017 it has been notified that the violation cases/non-

Compliance will involve the assessment of ecological damage, remediation plan and natural and

community resource augmentation plan.

We have collected and analysed the data, for assessment of ecological damage, preparation of

remediation plan and natural and community resource augmentation plan and following

methodology will be adopted.

The overall impact on air, water, noise, soil and land environment will be assessed. In addition, it will

be weighed against the positive impact created on the socioeconomic scenario. To estimate the

impact produced, a framework has been designed as given ahead:

• The place of activity is permissible for the purpose (like it should not fall in eco-sensitive

zones etc.)

• Environmental Sensitivity to be clearly defined

• Status of work done till date

• Status of activities (in quantitative terms) undertaken during violation period and extent of

damage

2.1 CRITERIA OF ASSESSMENT

• Negative impact indicates increase pollution load, vibration and public inconveniences

• Positive impact in terms of increased income due to employment, or other ancillary

activities. Also benefits generated due to activities undertaken under corporate social

responsibility

• Criteria to be used to assess the impact due to the construction (as per the table below):

2.2 Objectives of Remediation Plan

• To suggest control measures for preventing deterioration of air quality along with

approximate cost

• To suggest control measures for preventing deterioration of noise quality along

with approximate cost

• To suggest control measures for preventing deterioration of water quality along

with approximate cost

• Remediation plan of loss of top soil, loss of vegetation including trees and their

approximate cost

• To suggest control measures for keeping community safe from adverse effects of

activity approximate cost

• Plan and suggest Development of shelter of green belt to improve environment

2.3 Natural and Community Resource Augmentation Plan:

Augmentation plan will include various activities to be taken for augmentation of Natural

Resources like water, land vegetative cover in a time bound manner and estimation of

financial implication.

• Activities to be taken for augmentation of community resources. The key

community resources include —

• It can be a physical structure or place -- a school, hospital, library, recreation

center. It might also be an unused building that could house a community center,

a community owned forest, a park, a pond, or other pasture and open space

belonging to community.

• It can be a community service that makes life better for majority of community

members - public transportation, early childhood education center, community

recycling facilities, cultural organization.

• It can be an activity that provides jobs and supports the local economy.

The score calculated based on the above criteria along with the conditions given in TOR will be used

for damage assessment for estimation of the penal amount to be provided against creating impact

under violation.
