The Project proponents have proposed a landscape development plan,
which includes planting of flowering and shady trees, shrubs and lawn
within the plot.
The open spaces inside the plot will be suitably landscaped and covered
with vegetation of indigenous variety.
1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities, details of the existing land use and disturbance to the local ecology).
Form 1 & 1A – Amar Harmony at Taloja, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra
21
Although it is a construction activity, its impact on air quality, water
quality, noise and soil will not be notable. As a matter of fact this activity
will have positive impact on socio‐economic culture of people residing in
the vicinity of the proposed area. There will not be any disturbance to the
local ecology as the selected site for the construction is a barren land.
The project site and the surrounding area have residential buildings. The
open area will be occupied by vegetation, which will be helpful in
increasing green cover of the area. Proposed project will require
manpower during construction phase and operational phase thereby
creating job opportunities. Local skilled and unskilled laborers will have an
opportunity for employment directly or indirectly.
There will be additional employment for the poor strata of society by way
of domestic helpers, drivers, cleaners etc.
Due to the proposed project, facilities are likely to grow in line with the
development. As during the construction and operational phases of the
project a workforce will be needed this will be including both skilled and
unskilled people. The introduction of workers from areas outside the
region, could introduce a potential effect on the local culture, habits and
economics.
1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity, etc may be given). A. Details of Soil quality and slope
The texture of all the soil samples was dominated by “Loam”. Hence, the soil at project area is “loamy soil”. The texture of all the soil samples in the project area was varied from loam, sandy loam, clay loam, sandy clay loam, loamy sand, silt loam to clay. A soil dominated by one or two of the three particle size groups behaves like loam. Samples were collected within a radius of 10 Km in the study area. Soil samples collected and were analyzed for pH, moisture content, water holding capacity, organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, potassium,

phosphorous, Magnesium as Mg, Chlorides as Cl‐, Sulphates as SO4‐‐ using standard methods of Association of Official Agricultural Chemist. (REFER ANNEXURE 7 – Soil Analysis Report) The geological formations of the entire study area consist of dark coloured volcanic lava flows, basaltic in composition. Basaltic rocks: The lava flows were poured out of long and narrow fissures in the earth’s crust, during the Upper Cretaceous to Lower Eocene period approximately, 80 to 100 million years ago. These are spread out in the form of horizontal sheets or beds and constitute the innumerable spurs, hills and hill ranges, bold flat topped ridged, lofty peaks and plateaus with impressive cliffs. A characteristic feature of these flows is their horizontal disposition and considerable lateral extent with almost incredible uniformity in their composition and appearance. Kamothe is situated at latitude of 19o 00’ N and longitude 73005’ E.
B. Vulnerability to Seismicity and precautions:
As per the Seismic Zoning Map of India (given in Enclosures) Mumbai
region falls under Zone‐ 4. Stability Certificate, as per prevalent IS Code will
be obtained for these buildings from registered Consulting Structural
Engineer considering the seismic forces and wind forces etc.
(REFER ANNEXURE 10 – Seismic Zoning Map)
C. Vulnerability to Subsidence
Ground level of the plot is plain land. Backfilling in the vicinity of site is not
included in the project plan. Hence, subsidence is not expected.
1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contour map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site)
Not Applicable.
1.6. What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activitycutting, filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc.) During construction total earthwork involved 1000 Cu Ft.

1.7. Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc during the construction period.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
Total water requirement during construction phase shall be 100 cum/day approximately for construction as well as domestic use for the workers working on the site and also for the construction purpose. This water will be made available from Tanker water. Toilet block will be provided with Septic tank and Soak pit. The Biodegradable waste will be composted at site and non‐biodegradable solid waste will be sent recycling. The construction debris will be used for development of Landscape. All required sanitary and hygienic measures should be in place before starting construction activities and to be maintained throughout the construction phase.
CONSTRUCTION PHASE:
1.8. Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity)
Not Applicable
1.9. Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health
hazard? (Give quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the construction labour and the means of disposal) Construction debris and waste during construction will not cause health hazard. Temporary housing will be provided at the site for 60 workers in the form of Labour camp within the site. Construction debris generated will be used for development of landscape. All the waste generates will be properly treated and taken care of, therefore will not create any health hazard.

The waste water to be let into the bar screen chamber before letting to the collection tank. The waste water from the kitchen and the toilets to be let to the oil and grease separator before letting to the collection tank.
The waste water goes through the following processes:
BRIEF WRITE UP ON THE STP PROCESS
The scheme proposed for the treatment of sewage is a compact and effective Sewage Treatment Plant of for residential residential/commercial 150 CUM capacity / day using the revolutionary “Moving Bed Bio Reactor (MBBR)” technology. The concept underlining the Moving Bed bioreactor is to provide continuously operating bio‐film reactor, which is non‐cloggable, does not require backwashing and has a very low pressure drop. This is achieved by growing the bio‐film on smaller carrier elements that move along with the waste water in the reactor. The air stream constantly keeps the bio media is in suspension and at the same time provides the required oxygen to the biomass. The system uses specially designed bio‐media, which provides a large surface area for biological growth. The bio‐media is made of plastic material, which has a very long life. The media is cylindrical in shape and provides a large surface area in the given volume. The media provides about 800m2 effective area for growth of the bio film per m3 of volume.
The proposed system will consist of the following major stages:
1. Sewage Collection and Pumping System
2. Manual Bar Screen and Grit Chamber
3. Aeration Tank and Tube‐deck Settlers
4. Filtration System
5. Disinfection System
1. Sewage Collection and Pumping System :
Raw sewage will enter the raw sewage sump. Raw sewage transfer pumps will pump the sewage to the STP through the screen and grit removing stages. One Pump will be on duty and the other stand by.
2. Manual Bar Screen and Grit Chamber:
Form 1 & 1A – Amar Harmony at Taloja, Navi Mumbai, Maharashtra
29
A combination of coarse and fine screens will be provided for removal of floating debris from the sewage. The coarse screen will have spacing of 10 mm and will be periodically cleaned. The fine screen will have a spacing of 5 mm and will also be periodically cleaned. The outlet from the Screen Chamber is let into the sewage treatment system.
3. Sewage Treatment System:
SEWAGE TREATMENT BY SAFF PROCESS – PROCESS DETAILS Bar Screen – Coarse Raw sewage from the source is usually received into the bar screen chamber by gravity. Screen provided will remove all floating and big size matter such as plastic bottles, polythene bags, glasses, stones, etc., which may otherwise choke the pipeline and pumps. Oil and Grease Trap If the sewage generated includes maximum quantity from kitchen and canteen, there is a possibility of higher concentrations of oil and grease in the raw sewage. It needs to be removed before biological treatment as it otherwise may cause problems for biological treatment. Usually, a small civil construction tank with a baffle wall and slotted oil pipe skimmer is provided. The oil and grease removed by gravity floats to the surface, which is removed by the oil skimmer. Equalization Tank Usually, sewage generation is more during morning hours and evening hours. Visually no sewage is generated during night hours. Any biological system needs constant feed for bacteria to work efficiently. Hence, it is important to put an equalization tank to collect the excess flow during peak hours and feed sewage in lean hours. A typical equalization tank has a capacity of 6 hours of average flow rate. The tank is generally of civil construction by client. Provision of air grid is to be made for thoroughly mixing the sewage to make it of homogenous quality and to keep the suspended matter in suspension and to avoid septic conditions.

SAFF REACTOR The various toilet streams from the Shops and Residential into Septic tank, the
overflow seepage of septic tank is pumped into the Skid mounted Package type
Sewage treatment Plant for biological oxidation of organic impurities in presence
of activated (biomass) bacterial sludge.
The aeration is imparted by Diffused type aerators installed in the tank. The
biological treatment method followed is of Submerged Aeration Fixed Film( SAFF
). The air is induced in the tank from bottom and it moves upward through Media.
Media ensures full utilization of oxygen in the air before it reaches top. The
bacteria's which form film on the Media utilizes this oxygen and degrades the
substrate coming from the sewage water. Increased surface area increases the
quantum of the biomass to great extent and thus can sustain shock loads.
The film of bacteria's falls down as soon as its thickness increases beyond certain
limit. The anaerobic growth at the bottom most layers makes it loose and it falls
down. This makes the maintenance of biomass fully automatic. The sludge settled
at bottom is drained out, by Sludge transfer pump into filter press or centrifuge.
The overflow of Aeration tank is allowed to pass through a Tube Settler. Tube settler The sloughed biomass must be removed before the treated sewage can be disposed off. Hence a secondary clarifier (tube settler) is provided. The secondary clarifier is equipment in which the Bio‐mass removed & suspended solids are settled under action of gravity. Disinfection The treated sewage is then added with chlorine to kill the pathogens / E‐Coli coli forms, so that it becomes fit for disposal in the lake / water ways. Chlorine being a very strong oxidizing agent, a small dose of 6 mg /l is enough to achieve desired levels of dis‐infection. Small residual chlorine (of the order of 0.2 – 0.25 mg / l) also ensures that there is no re‐growth of E‐coli, till the final disposal point. The treated sewage, now substantially free from organic contamination, free from coliform bacteria can be safely disposed off in the river, or in other water bodies. This water is fit for using for gardening and flushing purpose. Tertiary Treatment

Treated sewage after disinfection is passed through Dual Media Filter and Activated Carbon Filter for further polishing.
Treated Water Collection Tank: The treated water collection tank can be of civil construction by client. Sludge Handling: The sludge from the FAB and Tube settler tank is removed from the bottom of the tank and Collected into the intermediated sludge holding tank and then transferred into the sludge Holding tank and finally into the batch type centrifuge for dewatering of sludge.

4. Filtration System:
This consists of a Pressure Multimedia Filter that removes any remaining suspended solids in the treated water so as to ensure its total conformance with the discharge standards set by the regulatory authorities. The Filter is to be backwashed at pre‐set intervals with water from the Treated Water tank.
5. Disinfection System:
The Disinfection System, which comprises of a dosing system, ensures complete removal of any remaining harmful organisms in the water. The water flowing into the Polishing Filter Feed Tank is dosed with an oxidant above and then allowed to remain in the tank for a predetermined time so that there is enough contact time for the oxidant to totally disinfect the water.
SLUDGE The excess sludge is pumped to the sludge tank from where de‐sludging is to be
done once every 3 – 6 months (depending on load factors) by pumping out to
tankers and disposal engaging corporation private agencies.

5. AIR ENVIRONMENT 5.1. Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result
in heat islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions)
As this will be a Residential complex, air pollution is not expected to be a
major concern. There will not be notable increase in pollution therefore dispersion model calculations are not done. But the data on Ambient Air Quality have been collected during the study period.
In view of the revision of national Ambient Air Quality Standards by Central
Pollution Control Board ambient air quality stations were identified and monitored. The sampling locations are Project site and buffer zone.
(REFER ANNEXURE 8: BASELINE STATUS OF AIR QUALITY)
5.2. What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.
During construction phase, PM ‐ 2.5, PM‐10 will be the main pollutant,
which could be generated from site development activities. Concentration of SO2, NO2 and CO may rise a little due to traffic. Proper upkeep and maintenance of vehicles, sprinkling of water on roads and construction site and providing sufficient vegetation all around the plant site are some of the measures that would reduce the impact during construction phase.
It is generally observed that PM‐2.5, PM‐10 levels are higher in dry weather i.e. during summer and winter seasons. Pollutant load of the atmosphere is generally low during monsoon as the gaseous pollutants tend to dissolve and particulate pollutants get adsorbed forming aerosols.
Fog formation aggravates the problem as rate of dispersion of pollutants reduces. High wind velocity is helpful for dispersion of pollutants. Higher temperature and pressure in the troposphere is helpful for better dispersion of pollutants. In general, effective dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere depends primarily on the degree of stability of the atmosphere and on its turbulent structure.
5.3. Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles?
Furnish details of the present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement including the traffic management at the entry & exit to the project site.
The proponents will provide a total number of 175 for four‐wheelers parking as per the CIDCO norms.

5.5. Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above. The proposed activity being of Residential type will not cause a notable increase in the noise and vibration during operation. However, use of heavy machinery is inevitable during construction phase of the project. Sources of noise Pollution during construction phase are machinery like Earthmoving Machinery Mini Hoist Crane, Hoist Crane, Concrete mini mixer, Weigh batcher, Compressors and transportation materials. Incremental increase in baseline noise levels due to this Residential complex will not exceed 55 dB (A). The post project noise levels at the nearest habitation will be less than the stipulated standards of CPCB. Noise has various adverse effects on workers and their activities. The first and foremost effect of noise on workers exposed to high noise level over a long period of severe impulsive noise of short duration is ‘Loss of Hearing’. This effect is either temporary or permanent in nature depending upon the length and severity of noise exposure. Other effects of noise are such as blood pressure, cardiovascular problems and ulcers. Some studies also point to noise related learning difficulties, reduced work efficiency, irritation, fatigue, increased accidents and errors and socially undesirable behavior.

9.4. What passive solar architectural features are being used in the
building? Illustrate the applications made in the proposed project.
The external walls exposed to high solar exposure are double walls/cavity
walls. Most of the openings are with appropriate sunshades to cast shadow
inside the room. Most of the external facades are double height terraces,
which help in reducing direct exposure to solar heat.
Top terrace that is exposed directly to sun is covered by pergolas, which
serve dual purpose. It helps in reducing the direct exposure to sun as
pergolas cast shadow on the floor.
ARCHITECTURAL DESIGN
Maximum ground is covered by green patches to reduce reflection
of heat from ground surface.
Shade giving trees are proposed around the condominium especially
on South and west side to cast shadow on the ground and building.
By accommodating maximum parking areas are covered parking,
heat generation due to vehicle is compressed below the building.

Thermal Paint application is proposed for external walls which
reduce and reflect heat. Direct exposure to sun is reduced by
proposing double height terraces and double wall external walls.
Adequate sunshades are proposed.
9.5. Does the layout of streets & buildings maximize the potential for solar
energy devices? Have you considered the use of street lighting,
emergency lighting and solar hot water systems for use in the building
complex? Substantiate with details.
Street lighting will be considered within the complex. For the emergency
lighting proper provision will make by considering available stocks. Solar
hot water system will be not used within complex.
The appurtenant spaces where common lighting is required are proposed
to use unconventional energy.
9.6. Is shading effectively used to reduce cooling/heating loads? What principles have been used to maximize the shading of Walls on the East and the West and the Roof? How much energy saving has been effected?
The construction is designed in order to assure maximum of the natural
light and ventilation in the structure.
Thermal Paint application is proposed for external walls which reduce and
reflect heat. Direct exposure to sun is reduced by proposing double height
terraces and double wall external walls. Adequate sunshades are proposed.
9.7. Do the structures use energyefficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems? Provide technical details. Provide details of the transformers and motor efficiencies, lighting intensity and airconditioning load assumptions? Are you using CFC and HCFC free chillers? Provide specifications. As it is a residential complex with no in built provision for space cooling.
Energy efficiency in lighting and mechanical systems will be achieved by:
Purchase of energy efficient appliances

Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure
minimum energy used for desired comfort levels
Installing programmable on/off timers and sensors for low
Occupancy areas
Use of solar energy for street lights
Use of compact fluorescent lamps and low voltage lighting.
9.8. What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the micro
climates? Provide a self assessment on the likely impacts of the
proposed construction on creation of heat island & inversion effects?
The proposed project is of Residential type and will not have space
conditioners or glass walls. Alteration of microclimate is not notable in this
case. The glass will be used in a way just to provide optimal lights inside.
Also the glass used will be energy efficient to reduce the heat gain inside the
building.
Systematic design of buildings in order to assure maximum natural
ventilation and light will be considered to reduce the effect of creation of
heat island.
9.9. What are the thermal characteristics of the building envelope? (a) roof;
(b) external walls; and (c) fenestration? Give details of the material
used and the Uvalues or the R values of the individual components.

Thermal Characteristics of the building envelope:
• Terraces will be treated with a layer of brick bat coba for reduction in heat
gain through roof.
• Overhang projections and horizontal and vertical elevation band of 0.3m
will be provided around the windows which will be reducing solar heat gain
but will assure maximum natural light and ventilation in the buildings.
• External shading is prominently used in the complex it intercepts solar heat
before it reaches the glass/ wall.
• External walls are 150 mm with 10 mm plaster on both the sides [cavity
wall], double height terraces are provided to reduce direct exposure to sun.
The external walls of the buildings will be coloured with light slightly tinted
colours to reduce solar heat gain and will reflect heat.
9.10. What precautions & safety measures are proposed against fire hazards?
Furnish details of emergency plans.
The project proponents shall follow all the safety rules and regulations as
prescribed by regulatory authority
9.11. If you are using glass as wall material provides details and
specifications including emissivity and thermal characteristics.
The entire building is designed with appropriate openings to reduce heat
energy inside the building. No use of glass as wall material.
9.12. What is the rate of air infiltration into the building? Provide details of
how you are mitigating the effects of infiltration.
The ground surfaces are covered with green patches to have dust control.
These Openings too habitable spaces are adequate just to be functional. The
openings are covered with dust proof, air and water light aluminum glazing.
