Figure 1.3: 10 KM Study Area Map of the Project Site 1.5 PROJECT IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY

Ferro alloys, in particular Ferro-manganese and Silico-manganese are used by steel and

stainless steel industry. In steel industry, the above mentioned Ferro-alloys are used as de-

oxidizing agents and to improve the properties of steel for different applications. Demand for

Ferro-manganese, medium carbon silicon-manganese and low carbon Silico-manganese has

gone up due to usage of these Ferro-alloys in stainless steel.

Ferro alloy industry, which is totally dependent on the steel industry in the country, has

touched another mile stone in production as well as exports. The overall production has

increased considerably during 2006-07 and achieved a record highest production of 2.00

million tons as compared to 1.65 million tons in 2005-06, registering a growth of 21.21 % due

to higher domestic consumption, exports and increase in steel production. The units have

continued to register profitability over the previous year.

The increasing demand in carbon steel and stainless steel within the country and globally is a

welcome sign for the Ferro alloy industry for the coming years. Consumption of manganese

alloys and chrome alloys have increased considerably in line with increase in steel and stainless

steel production, and is expected to increase further with higher growth rate in both the steel

sectors.

According to the Indian Ferro Alloy Producers Association (IFAPA), the ferroalloy industry

continued to be affected by recession with sluggish demand and constraints of high power

tariff anti-dumping duty on input material, reductants, and anti-dumping duty on exports of

ferroalloys.

The signs of revival in the fortunes of the steel industry, both globally and domestically, has

brought cheer to a largely neglected industry — ferroalloys — whose fortunes are inextricably

linked with that of steel.

1.6 SCOPE OF STUDY

The scope of the study includes preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment study with

detailed characterization of various environmental components such as air, noise, water,

land, biological and socio economic within an area of 10 km radius around the proposed

project site located at Plot No.368, APIIC Growth center, Bobbili (Village & Mandal),

Vizianagaram (District), Andhra Pradesh as per the latest guidelines of MoEFCC and the EIA

study was conducted during the period of December 2016 – February 2017.



The main objectives of characterization are as follows:

• To assess the existing baseline status of air, water, noise, land, biological and socio-

economic environments within the project site and around 10 km radius of the study area

• To identify and quantify significant impacts due to the proposed activity on various

environmental components through prediction of impacts.

• To evaluate the beneficial and adverse impacts of the proposed activity.

• To prepare an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) detailing control technologies and

measures to be adopted for mitigation of adverse impacts if any, as a consequence of the

proposed activity.

• To prepare a Post Project Monitoring Program for checking and regulating the

environmental quality of the project and help in sustainable development of the area.

1.6.1 Methodology of EIA

Any developmental activity is expected to cause impacts on surrounding environment during

the construction and operation phases. The impacts may be adverse or beneficial. In order to

assess the impacts due to the proposed activity, an Environmental Impact Assessment study

has been conducted within an area of 10 km radius around the project site as per Terms of

Reference prescribed by the Expert Appraisal Committee-1 (Industry) in its 28th meeting held

on 5th - 7th February, 2018 for prescribing TORs for undertaking detailed EIA /EMP study.

The various steps involved in Environmental Impact Assessment study are divided into the

following phases.

Identification of significant environmental parameters and assessing the existing status

within the impact zone with respect of air, water, noise, soil, biological and socioeconomic

components of environment.

Prediction of impact on air quality taking into consideration the proposed emissions to

project the overall scenario.

Prediction of impact on Water, Land, Biological and Socio Economic Environment

Evaluation of total impacts after superimposing the predicted scenario over the baseline

scenario to prepare an Environmental Management Plan.

The methodology adopted for studying the various individual components of environment is

described below.



1.6.2 Micro Meteorology

An auto weather monitoring station to record meteorological parameters was installed at

proposed project site. Wind speed, Wind direction, maximum, and minimum temperatures,

relative humidity, cloud cover was recorded on hourly basis continuously covering the entire

three months from December 2016 – February 2017.

Wind speed & Wind direction data recorded during the study period were used for

computation of relative percentage frequencies of different wind directions. The

meteorological data thus collected has been used for interpretation of the existing Ambient Air

Quality status, and the same data has been used for prediction of impacts of future scenario

due to the activities of the proposed scheme.

1.6.3 Ambient Air Quality

The scenario of the existing ambient air quality in the study region has been assessed through

a network of 8 ambient air quality stations during the study period within an area of 10 km

radius around the project area. The monitoring network was so designed such that

representative samples are obtained from the upwind direction, down wind and cross wind

directions of the proposed project site. These monitoring sites have been established keeping

in view the available climatologically norms of predominant wind direction and wind speed of

this particular region.

The following points were also taken into consideration in designing the network of sampling

stations:

1. Topography/ Terrain of the study area

2. Populated areas within the study area

3. Residential and sensitive areas within the study area.

4. Magnitude of the surrounding industries

5. Representation of regional background levels

6. Representations of cross sectional distribution in downward direction.

Ambient Air Quality monitored 24 hours per day for PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx and CO at 8 stations

within 10km radius of the project site once in twice per a week for the study period.

Pre-calibrated respirable dust samplers have been used for monitoring of the existing AAQ

status. Methodologies adopted for sampling and analysis were, as per the approved methods

of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB). Maximum, minimum, average and percentile values



have been computed from the raw data collected at all individual sampling stations to

represent the ambient air quality status of the study area.

1.6.4 Noise Environment

Noise monitoring has been carried out at eight locations to identify the impact due to the

existing sources on the surroundings in the study area. Noise levels were recorded at an

interval of 30 minutes during the day and night times to compute the day equivalent, night

equivalent and day-night equivalent level.

1.6.5 Water Environment

Eight groundwater samples and eight surface water samples from various locations around the

project site within 10 km radius were collected for assessment of the existing physico-chemical

and bacteriological quality. Methodologies adopted for sampling and analysis were according

to the IS methods. Field parameters such as pH, Temperature were monitored on site. The

parameters thus analyzed were compared with IS 10500. The activities surrounding the source

during sampling were taken into consideration in interpretation of the water quality of that

particular source.

1.6.6 Land Environment

Ground truth studies were conducted to identify the land use in and around 10 km radius of

the site. Representative soil samples were collected from- eight sampling locations within an

area of 10 km radius around the proposed project site for analysis of the physico chemical

characteristics to assess the cropping pattern, microbial growth etc. standard procedures were

followed for sampling and analysis. The samples collected were also analyzed to check the

suitability for growth of native plant species in and around the project site.

1.6.7 Biological Environment

Intensive survey of flora and fauna of the project site and its surroundings extending up to a

radius of 10 Km has been collected during the study period.

As for as the fauna is concerned, both primary and secondary data have been collected from

various government departments such as forest, agriculture, fisheries and animal husbandry to

clearly understand the status of fauna. Quadrant method has been used for sampling of flora.

1.6.8 Socio- Economic Environment

Details on economic status of various villages within an area of 10 km around the project site

have collected. Information on existing amenities has been collected to determine the

developmental activities. Such developmental activities would result in upliftment of the



economic status in the area.

All the above environmental parameters have been used for identification, evaluation and

prediction of significant impacts.

1.6.9 Prediction Of Impacts, Environmental Management Plan & Disaster Management Plan

Various technical aspects of the proposed project have been studied to identify the significant

impacts, which would arise from the proposed activity. The identified impacts have been

quantified through prediction of impacts to estimate the post project scenario.

Identified impacts due to proposed project have been studied in detail to predict the impacts

on various environmental components. Predicted scenario has been superimposed over the

baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project)

scenario of environmental conditions.

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for this proposed project details the control

measures, which will be suitable for proposed expansion to maintain environmental quality

within the stipulated limits specified by State Pollution Control Board/CPCB/MoEFCC.

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT

Ferro alloys, in particular Ferro-manganese and Silico-manganese are used by steel and

stainless steel industry. In steel industry, these above mentioned Ferro-alloys are being used as

a de-oxidizing agents and also adding as an alloy to improve the properties of steel for

different applications. As the nickel become costlier day-by-day, R&D is taking place to replace

nickel with manganese. This has become successful in some grades of stainless steel. Demand

for Ferro- manganese, medium carbon silicon-manganese and low carbon Silico- manganese

has gone up due to usage of these Ferro-alloys in stainless steel. Ferro alloy industry, which is

totally dependent on the steel industry in the country, has touched another mile stone in

production as well as exports.

The increasing demand in carbon steel and stainless steel within the country and globally is a

welcome sign for the Ferro alloy industry for the coming years. Consumption of manganese

alloys and chrome alloys have increased considerably in line with increase in steel and stainless

steel production, and is expected to increase further with higher growth rate in both the steel

sectors.

2.7 TECHNOLOGY AND PROCESS DESCRIPTION

Most of the Ferro alloys e.g., Ferro Manganese and Silico Manganese are produced by smelting

process. Smelting of the charged material is carried out in an electrical arc furnaces equipped

with transformer of proper rating.

2.7.1 Basic Process

Ferro-alloys are produced by reducing metals from their oxides contained in ores by using a

suitable reduction under conditions created to ensure a high recovery of the valuable

elements from the starting materials. Such reduction reactions are characterized by stability of

an oxide at high temperatures. The stability of all oxides will become more stable with

increasing temperature. An element which forms a stronger oxide can under appropriate

conditions be used as reductant for a less strong oxide. The reaction will proceed successfully if

the difference of oxygen involved with a small difference, favorable conditions should be

formed to make the reaction proceed.

The presence of iron or iron oxides can facilitate some reduction processes. Iron dissolves the

reduced element, forms a compound with it, and thus lowers the melting point of an iron

element alloy is lower than that of the pure element, e.g. in Ferro-manganese production, and

therefore the reaction of reduction of the element can proceed at a lower temperature.

Figure: 2.3 Process Flow Chart of Ferro Alloy Project Ferro-Manganese Process

Ferro Manganese is produced from manganese ores, which have the principle constituent of

manganese mainly in the form of Oxides the balance usually being iron, aluminum, magnesium



oxides and Silicon. For making Ferro-manganese, coke is used as a reductant and fluxes like

limestone or dolomite are added to the reaction mixture if the Calculation of the slag

composition demands such additions. Such reactions are carried out in submerged arc

furnaces, which operate, as a rule, by continuous process. The electrodes in these furnaces

are immersed into the solid charge. The furnace is recharged as the solid is being smelted and

the alloy & slag are periodically removed.

Smelting Procedure

The charge for smelting Ferro-manganese is made up with the mixture of 2317 kg of

Manganese ore, 676 kg of reductant and 396 kg of dolomite.

The charge is loaded into the furnace from a charging apparatus which essentially is an

electrically driven carriage moving on a monorail. The carriage has a loading chute. Coke

breeze is first loaded from furnace bins to the charging apparatus, followed by ore. This

sequence of charging ensures more thorough mixing of the charge and prevents sticking of

moist ore fines to the walls of charging apparatus. In order to prevent separation of the charge

into components, the entire batch is poured into a pile on the charge and a specific amount of

dolomite is added to it. After that the piles are gathered into cones around the electrodes.

The charging apparatus can deliver the charge only to the front side of electrodes. The

materials are pushed to the rear side of electrodes by means of long rabbles and are partly

thrown by shovels from piles prepared on the working stage at the rear corners of the furnace.

Charging is continued as the materials settle down at the electrodes. A cone around an

electrode should be 300-400 mm above the charge level. The electrodes are maintained at a

depth of 1100-1400 mm with their ends being spaced 600-800 mm from the furnace bottom.

Owing to deep placing of the electrodes, the high temperature zone is covered with a layer of

charge 800-1000 mm thick. The spacing between the electrodes and furnace bottom prevents

overheating of the metal and evaporation of manganese.

Gases should evolve evenly over the whole surface of the furnace top. With fine materials used

for smelting Ferro-manganese, gases tern to escape through blowholes they from near an

electrode and therefore in that case it is especially important to maintain a high cone of charge

at the electrodes and pierce the materials at the cone base.

When the charge is moist, hot charge may fall down or even be splashed together with slag

from beneath the electrodes. This can occur owing to Accumulation of gases in the melting

zone with a poor gas permeability of the charge. Drying of manganese ore is an indispensable



operation in the process. The use of dry ore and coke breeze ensures a higher productivity,

lower consumption of electric energy, stable process conditions and better labor conditions.

With a deficiency of reductant in the charge, manganese cannot be reduced fully and the

content of manganese oxide in the slag and that of phosphorus in the metal increase. With a

large excess of reductant the content of silicon in the metal increase the depth of electrode

placing diminished, the high- temperature zone rises to a higher level and the heat and

reducing ability of gases are utilized less efficiently. The position of electrodes in the furnace is

controlled by giving manganese ore beneath them if a deeper immersion of an electrode is

needed, or coke breeze, if an electrode should be raised higher.

The metal and slag are tapped successively from all the two tap holes. The slag ratio in the

smelting of Ferro-manganese by a flux less process is within 1.0 – 1.2. The slag is separated

from metal during tapping by means of a skimmer arrangement. Moulds are arranged in a

cascade under the spout; a partition is placed into the first mould, with its lower edge 60 – 70

mm below the pouring nose of the mould. Slag is retained by the partition and flows over into

the ladle while.

Silico-Manganese Manufacturing Process

Silico-manganese an alloy of manganese with silicon and iron is a semi- product used for

smelting of medium and low carbon Ferro-manganese. As mentioned earlier, Silico-manganese

is also employed as a complex deoxidant in steel making and (upon melting together with

aluminium) to produce a complex manganese-silicon-aluminium (M-K-A) deoxidant. The

process for smelting Silico-manganese essentially consists in manganese and silicon being

simultaneously reduced from manganese Silicontes, slag, ore and quartzite. The process relies

on a higher temperature than that needed for smelting Ferro-manganese. The process is

carried out continuously under slag having a ratio of 1:1. Charging and furnace top

maintenance are done essentially in the same way as in Ferro-manganese. The metal and slag

are tapped from the furnace every two hours. The thick slag at tapping entrains much of metal

beads, which has a negative effect on manganese recovery. The slag can be made more fluid

by adding raw dolomite.

The metal and slag are tapped through same tap hole in a similar way to Ferro-manganese.

2.8 PLANT FACILITIES & OTHER REQUIREMENTS

2.8.1 Raw Material Receipt and Storage Yard

The raw material viz., Manganese Ore, Coke, Coal, Quartz, Dolomite etc., will be received by

trucks and stacked separately in stockyard. The materials will be procured in required size

range and quality and no further processing is required. These raw materials will be stored in

yards with concreted flooring. Coke and coal will be stored under closed sheds, while the other

raw materials will be stored in open concreted yards.

2.8.2 Raw Material Handling System

The raw materials will be fed to a Ground Hopper of 20m3 capacities by dumper and pay

loader and will be transferred from ground hopper by a belt conveyer or to a screen house,

where the under size material will be screened out and the correct size material will then be

conveyed to storage bunkers. There will be 8 numbers of M. S. storage bunkers in the Bunker

House, where different raw materials will be stored in each bunker. The bunkers will be fed

with reversible conveyors.

The raw materials will be mixed as per the material balance and weighed in 2 sets of weigh

Hoppers (1 set for each of 4 nos of day bunkers). The weigh hoppers will be provided with

suitable load cells to record the weight of each raw material that form the recipe of the

material mix. The material after weighing in the required proportion will be conveyed through

a belt conveyor, monorail to the furnace top where 9 numbers of charging Hoppers are

provided right on top of the furnace shell.

The charging hoppers will be connected with charging chutes and slides gates, through which

the material is fed into the furnace around the three electrodes, as and when required. The

slide gates will be operated pneumatically for which a suitable Air Compressor shall be

provided. The entire weighing and feeding system will be controlled through an Automatic

Bath Weighing System.

2.8.4 Hot Metal Handling

There are two numbers of tap holes provided in the furnace shell to take out the metal and

slag from the furnace at regular intervals of about every two hours. The hot liquid metal and

slag will be collected into Cast Iron Moulds. The slag by virtue of its lesser specific gravity floats

on the metal and overflows into Cast Iron Slag pot and the metal is retained in the CI moulds.

The liquid slag will be poured out into sand beds for solidification and the metal will be

allowed to solidify in the CI moulds itself 1no of 10 ton heavy duty EOT crane will be installed

in the tapping bay to facilitate the hot metal handling. After solidification the metal and slag

will be removed from the moulds / sand beds and sent to breaking yard for sizing into

customer- required size. Even though the metal is separated out from the slag due to its

density difference, some amount of (about 2-5%) metal is always entrapped into the slag.

Hence the slag after solidification is sent to a Metal Recovery Plant where the slag is crushed,

screened and then subjected to water jigging to separate the entrapped metal from slag. This

metal will then be sent to packing section and the slag is sent to dump yard.

2.9 POLLUTION CONTROL EQUIPMENT AND ITS DESCRIPTION

The pollution control equipment proposed in the plant will be pulse jet bag filters. In a Jet

Pulse Dust collector the dirty gases enter through inlet manifold to the hopper where

separation of coarse dust particles takes place. The reminder will pass with the gases to the

filtering space. Filtering takes place from outside to inside of bags, Dust particles are deposited

on the outside surface of the bags while the clean gases pass through the out let manifold and

finally to the atmosphere through ID fan. These bags will be cleaned intermittently through

compressed air pulses in reverse direction.

Details of Bag Filters

Working principle of Bag Filter

In a Jet Pulse Dust collector the dirty gases enter through inlet manifold to the hoppers where

separation of coarse dust particles takes place. The remainder will pass with the gases to the

filtering space. Bags will be secured in the tube sheet through flange and suspended from top.

Wire cages will be provided to prevent the bags from collapsing. Filtration takes place from

outside to inside of bags. Dust particles will be deposited on the outside surfaces of the bags

while the clean gases pass through the outlet manifold and finally to the atmosphere through

ID fan.

The bags will be cleaned intermittently through compressed air pulsed in reverse direction. A

Short pulse of compressed air will be directed downwards from a header into a row of bags;

causing the bags to flex and dislodge the dust cake from outside the bags, the dust falls into

the hopper by gravity and hence into the dust handling system. One to few rows of bags will

be pulsed at time after a predetermined period. The entire cleaning cycle will be fully

automatic and based on time mode. All timings will be adjusted in the field to ensure optimum

cleaning efficiency and compressed air consumption.

Wastewater Generation and Treatment

No process wastewater will be generated from the Ferro Alloy manufacturing process. The

water for cooling of the equipment shall be circulated in a closed circuit. It will be pumped

from the cold sump and sent to the equipment through necessary pipelines. After cooling



different parts of the equipment, the hot water returns to the top of cooling tower. The

required degree of cooling of hot water is done through the cooling tower and it is stored in

the cold sump for recirculation. Some make up water will always necessary to be added to the

cold sump to compensate for evaporation loss, drift loss, process loss and leakage loss. The

water in the cooling system for the furnace and for compressors will be treated to the levels as

specified by the equipment. Domestic waste water generated will be treated in septic tank

followed by soak pit.

Noise Generation and Control

In the proposed development, the major noise generating equipments will be from the

compressors, transformers etc. Noise will be continuously generated from such sources. The

noise levels of the individual equipment will not be more than 85 dB (A) at one meter distance.

Provision of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) to the workers in high noise generating areas

would eliminate/ minimize such impacts to a great extent. Important noise generating sources

have been identified in the proposed plant and the noise levels expected to be in the following

range as given in Table 2.9.

Table 2.9: Noise Generating Sources

S. No Sources Noise level in dB(A) [1 m away]

Nature of Noise

1 Air compressors 85.0 Continuous 2 Transformer 75.0 Continuous

It can be seen from the above table that all the noise levels at 1m distance from the

equipment will be in the range of about 75-90dB(A).

Noise Control

Acoustic enclosures will be provided wherever required to control the noise levels below 90 dB

(A). Wherever, it is not possible technically to meet the required noise levels, PPE will be

provided to the workers. The wide green belt around the plant will attenuate the noise levels

outside the plant boundary.

Solid Waste Generation and Disposal

The slag generated in manufacturing of Ferro Manganese will be used in Silico Manganese

manufacturing process. The generated slag and bag filter dust will be stored and disposed in

earmarked area systematically and scientifically as per CPCB guidelines. Effort will be taken to

utilize various purposes at end use.

3.1 STUDY AREA, PERIOD, COMPONENTS AND METHODOLOGY

Description of the baseline environmental status in and around the proposed expansion

project depicts the existing environmental conditions regarding the meteorology, air, water,

noise, soil, biological and socio- economic environment.

3.1.1 Study Area

Study area comprising of the area within a 10 km radius of the proposed expansion project as

the centre for environmental monitoring and data collection.

3.1.2 Study Period

The baseline data generation for the EIA-EMP has been carried out during December 2016 to

February 2017 for three months.

3.1.3 Environmental Components

The environmental components like Meteorology, Ambient Air Quality, Water Quality, Noise

Levels, Soil Quality, Geology & Hydrology, Traffic study and Socio-economic conditions which

are most likely to be influenced by the setting up an industry were carried out during the study

period. Secondary data like meteorological data from Indian Meteorological Department

(IMD), Geology, Hydrogeology, Census data were collected from various government and non-

government agencies. The monitoring photographs are given in Figure 3.1.

3.1.4 Methodology

The methodology adopted for conducting the studies are:

Reconnaissance of the study area;

• Selection of sampling locations based on the predominant wind directions recorded by the

nearest India Meteorological Station (IMS);

• Existing topography of the study area;

• Location of existing surface water bodies like rivers, lakes/ponds and streams; and

• Location of villages/towns/sensitive areas, and areas, which represent baseline conditions;

The BAL has not started its first phase production as the construction of the first phase is

under the process. Therefore there will not be operational pollution from the project. Hence

the EIA study is conducted normally without considering the pollution effects of the first phase

production. The establishments of baseline for valued environmental components are

described in the following sections.



Figure 3.1: Environmental Parameters Sampling Photographs



3.2 BASELINE ENVIRONMENT

The baseline environmental quality represents the background environmental scenario of

various environmental components such as air, noise, water, and land and socio economic

status of the study area. The general study area covers 10 km radius of the proposed plant site.

3.2.1 Micro Meteorology of Study Area

Meteorology of the study area plays an important role in the air pollution studies. The

prevailing micro meteorological conditions at the proposed project site will regulate the

dispersion and dilution of air pollutants in the atmosphere. The predominant wind directions

and the wind speed will decide the direction and distance of the most affected zone from the

proposed activity. The meteorological data collected during the monitoring period is very

useful in interpretation of baseline as input for dispersion models for predicting the Ground

Level Concentrations (GLC).

An auto weather monitoring station was installed during the months of from December 2016

to February 2017 to record various meteorological parameters on hourly basis to understand

the wind pattern, Temperature variation, solar insulation and relative humidity variation etc.

Percentage frequencies of wind in 16 directions have been computed from the recorded data

of the study period to plot wind rose diagram. Figure 3.2 represents the wind pattern of the

study period.

3.2.2 Wind pattern during Study Period (from December 2016 to February 2017)

Predominant Wind directions during this period were from the N to NE sector accounting to

about 75.54 % of the total time. Wind speeds during this period were varying between 1 – 20

kmph and some time more than 20 kmph. The wind of less than 1.0 kmph was treated as calm

and calm conditions are 24.46% of the study period time.

communities. The noise level variation can be temporal, spectral and spatial. The residential

noise level is that level below which the ambient noise does not seem to dropdown during the

given interval of time and is generally characterized by unidentified sources. Ambient noise

level is characterized by significant variations above a base or a residential noise level. The

maximum impact of noise is felt on urban areas, which is mostly due to the commercial

activities and vehicular movement during peak hours of the day.

Measured noise levels displayed as a function of time provides a useful scheme for describing

the acoustical climate of a community. Noise levels records at each station with a time interval



of about 30 minutes are computed for equivalent noise levels. Equivalent noise level is a single

number descriptor for describing time varying noise levels. The equivalent noise level is

defined as mathematically.

10Log1/ TΣ (10Ln/10)

Where L = sound pressure level a function of time dB (A) & T = Time interval of observations

Noise levels during the night time generally drop, therefore to compute Equivalent noise levels

for the night time, noise levels are increased by 10 dB(A) as the night time high noise levels are

judged more annoying compared to the day time. The noise recording stations are shown in

Figure 3.4 and Table 3.6 and the summary of the minimum, maximum, day - equivalent, night

- equivalent and day-night equivalent values computed for various locations in the study area

is presented in Table 3.7.

3.7 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY

3.7.1 General

Vizianagaram is a Coastal District of Andhra Pradesh. In Vizianagaram a suite of graphite

bearing calc-silicate granules, veined by syenitic rocks, developed wollastoneite-rich veins at 6-

7 Kbar and >850 oC. During subsequent nearisobaric cooling wollastonite was replaced by

calcite + quartz and a graphic intra growth of fluorite + quartz + clinopyroxene. Titanite with

variable Al and F contents is present throughout the rock. Combining the compositional

variation of titanite and recent experimental data, it is demonstrated that the mineral

assemblage, the composition of coexisting fluids and the mobility of Al exert a far greater

control on the composition of titanite than pressure, temperature or the whole rock

composition.

3.7.2 Physiography and Drainage

The district is dominantly hilly in nature, thickly wooded and rugged. The drainage pattern is

sub parallel to sub dendritic.

3.7.3 Geology

The district forms a part of Easter Ghat Mobile belt exposing all the characteristic lithounits of

the Eastern Ghat Supergroup such as the khondalite group is represented by khondalite

(quartz-felspar-garmet-sillimanite-graphite gneiss), calc granulite and quartzite which occur as

impersistent bands within the khondalite. The charnockite group consists of acid,

intermediate, and basic varieties. The migmatite group consists various rock types including

leptynite, porphyroblastic granitioid gneiss, gamet-biotite-hypersthene gneiss, quartzo

felspathic mobilisates and other associated hybrid rocks. Bauxitic laterite occupies several flat

topped and gently slopping hills at elevation at 100m and above. Laterites are mostly

developed on khondalites and rarely on charnockites. Tirupathi sandstone of Gondwana

supergroup occurs unconformably over the Archaean crystallines. This is represented by

coarse sandstone and clays exposed close to the coast. Channel bars and active channels

contain brown silts and coarse sand. The marine sediments of active beach and tidal flat are

seen in the narrow coastal plain. The coastal plain south of Elamanchili is rocky, scarp faced

and believed to be fault controlled. The rocks along the coast bear the impressions of sea level

fluctuations up to an elevation of 145m above MSL. The structural grain of the litho units is

defined by foliation which is considered to have developed because of first phase of folding

and uniformly shows parallelism with the primary layering wherever preserved. The strike of



the foliation varies from NE-SW to NW – SE with moderate to steep dips. The rocks have been

subjected to tight isoclinal folding having regional trend of NE-SW. As a result of cross folding

on NW-SE axis, structural domes and basins have been formed in the area.

3.7.4 Geomorphology and Geohydrology

The main landforms are structural ridges or hogbacks with intermittent softer migmatitic rocks

forming low plains referred to as pediplain pediment complex. The coastal plain is made of

beach ridges, tidal flats and lagoons. A 100 m high scarp is seen along the coast imprints of sea

erosion such as caves, wave cut benches, notches and pitted surfaces. The groundwater in the

major part of the district within the Easternghat supergrop of rocks is fracture controlled the

potentially is high along the fractures and it is low to moderate away from fractures. The

permeability in these rocks is 0.50-20 m/day and specific yield is 0.005-0.025 ltrs/sec. The

ground water occurs at shallow depths in flood plains.

3.7.5 Soil and Land Use

The district is characterized by red loamy soil in the northern part and red sandy soils in the

southern part. Coastal alluvial and sandy soils are seen in the coastal plain. A patch of lateritic

soil occurs in the northeastern part. Upper part of the district is covered by forest land; flood

plains are covered by arable land and the rest by grass lands.

3.7.6 Geotechnical Characteristics and Natural Hazards

The area has been demarcated into two engineering geological provinces mainly based on

bearing capacity/compressive strength and foundation characteristics. Bearing capacity of the

rock types vary from low to high and the foundation characteristics are poor to very good. The

entire area falls under Seismic Zone-II. The coast is erosional type fault controlled, hence is

vulnerable to tremors. The coastal area is prone to cyclonic storms.

3.8 LAND USE STUDIES

Studies on land use aspects of eco-system play important roles for identifying sensitive issues,

if any, and taking appropriate actions for maintaining the ecological balance in the

development of the region.

3.8.1 Objectives

The objectives of land use studies are:

• To determine the present land use pattern;

• To analyze the impacts on land use due plant activities in the study area; and



• To give recommendations for optimizing the future land use pattern vis-a-vis growth of

plant activities in the study area and its associated impacts.

3.8.2 Methodology

For the study of land use, literature review of various secondary sources such as District

Census Handbooks, regional maps regarding topography, zoning settlement, industry, forest

etc., were taken. The data was collected from various sources like District Census Handbook,

Revenue records, state and central government offices and Survey of India (SOI) toposheets

and also through primary field surveys.

3.8.3 Land use Based on Secondary Data

Based on the census report, 10-km radial distance around this Plant Centre has been

considered in the study. These areas were studied in detail to get the idea of land use pattern

in the study area. The land use pattern of the study area is given in Table-3.13 and Figure 3.7.

The FCC map and Land use map are given in Figure 3.8 and Figure 3.9.

3.9 ECOLOGY

3.9.1 Introduction

A natural ecosystem is a structural and functional unit of nature. It has components, which

exist in harmony and survive by interdependence. Ecosystem has self-sustaining ability and

control the number of organisms at any level by cybernetic rules. The effect of this is that an

ecosystem does not become imbalanced. Development is must for any nation, however, the

development needs a price. The price is paid by one kind of people and natural biota and other

people reap fruits of prosperity. The disparity between the sufferers and enjoyers increases.

The only plausable answer to this is eco-friendly development. The ecological study was

undertaken with the objective of the following:

• to assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the project site;

• to asses the distribution of animal life spectra; and

• to asses the biodiversity and to understand the resource potential.

3.9.2 Methodology

Adopted for the Survey to achieve above objectives a detailed study of the area was

undertaken in 10-km radius area with the project site as its center. The different methods

adopted were as follows: Compilation of secondary data with respect to the study area from

published literature and Government agencies; Generation of first hand data by undertaking

systematic ecological studies in the area; Interrogating local people so as to elicit information

for local plants, animals and their uses; and Gathering data for ethnobiology. The present

report gives the review of published secondary data and the results and general ecological

survey conducted in the month of Jan-2017.

3.9.3 Terrestrial Ecological Status

Floristic Richness

The area shows many algae, fungi, bryophytes and ferns. Algae are present in aquatic bodies

or in marshy places. Fungi, particularly from ascomycetes and basidiomycetes are located on

ground or epiphytically. Lichens of crustose, foliose and fruticose types are present on

different substrates (Lichens, Ascomycetes and Basidiomycetes could be observed near hilly

terrain). Bryophytes occur in wet areas and occasionally on barks of trees and old walls of

houses. The commonly observed bryophtes in this area are Funaria sp. and Polypodium sp.

Fern flora of the study area is insignificant. The aquatic weeds Hydrilla sp. Chara sp. and

Salvinia were observed in small ponds and in agricultural fields.



Life Form Spectrum

Raunkiaer defined life forms as the sum of adaptations of plants to climate. BraunBlanquet

(1951), whose system is adapted in this study, modified the Raunkiaer's system. Following five

of the ten classes created by Braun-Blanquet is present in the study area.

Phanerophytes : Shrubs and trees

Therophytes : Annuals including ferns

Hydrophytes : Water plants except plankton

Hemicryptophytes : Plants with perennial shoots and buds close to surface.

Geophytes : Plants with perennating parts buried in substratum.

During field survey, maximum 308 number of plant species (except algae, fungi and

bryophytes) were recorded from the study area. The plant species observed in the study area

are presented in Table 3.14.

Total 308 100 Comments on the Life Form Spectrum

Life form spectrum is a reflection of plant community. A plant community is governed by

several factors like climatic, edaphic, topographic and biotic. Even local variations in

environment affect components of plant community. In the study area, maximum number of

species are phanerophytes (45.48%) followed by therophytes (37.10%), hemicryptophytes

(12.58%) and hydrophytes (2.58%). Presence of large number of phanerophytes (shrubs and

trees) and therophytes (annuals or herbaceous vegetation) indicates semiarid to tropical

vegetation structure. Hemicryptophytes (predominantly grasses and sedges) were found to be

significant in the area. These indicate fertile and wet soil in upper layer of soil profile.

Hydrophytes were present in both the seasonal and perennial water bodies.

Conclusions

Detailed ecological studies conducted within 10 km radius of the project site indicates

predominance of Mangifera indica, Tamarindus indica, Borassus flabellifera, Cocos nucifera,

Cassia tora, Cassia occidentlis, Eupatorium odarattum, Zizyphus rotundifolia, Achyranthes



aspera, Parthenium hysterophorus, Tephrosia purpurea species, when compared to tree,

shrub and herb populations observed in the study area. The vegetation structure of the study

area indicates that the floral structure is uniform in nature. The wide variety of herbaceous

members and presence of wide variety of woody members reflects that the study area is a

undisturbed ecosystem. The dominance of herbaceous flora is due to southwest and northeast

monsoon rains and fertility of soil.

National Park/Sanctuary

There are no national parks and sanctuaries present in the study area of 10-km radius of the

project.

3.9.4 Endangered Animals

There are no endangered species found during the study period.

3.10 SOCIO-ECONOMIC SURVEY

The growth of industrial sectors and infrastructure developments in and around the agriculture

dominant areas, villages and towns are bound to create its impact on the socio-economic

aspects of the local population. The impacts may be positive or negative depending upon the

developmental activity. To assess the impacts on the socio-economics of the local people, it is

necessary to study the existing socio-economic status of the local population, which will be

helpful for making efforts to further improve the quality of life in the area of study. To study

the socio-economic aspects of people in the study area around the proposed project site, the

required data has been collected from various secondary sources and supplemented by the

primary data generated through the process of a limited door to door socio-economic survey.

3.10.1Methodology Adopted for the Study

The methodology adopted for the study is based on the review of secondary data, such as

District Census Statistical Handbooks-2011 and the records of National Informatics Center,

New Delhi, for the parameters of demography, occupational structure of people within the

general study area of 10-km radius around the project site.

3.10.2Review of Demographic and Socio-Economic Profile - 2011

The sociological aspects of this study include human settlements, demography, social such as

scheduled castes and scheduled tribes and literacy levels besides infrastructure facilities

available in the study area. The economic aspects include occupational structure of workers.

The salient features of the demographic and socio-economic details are described in the

following sections. Detailed Socio economic study report is given in Annexure 9.



3.10.3Demography

Distribution of Population

As per 2011 census, the study area consists of 170203 persons. The distribution of population

in the study area is given in Table-3.15. The males and females constitute 51.0 % and 49.0 % of

the study area population respectively.

Average Household Size

The average household size of the study area is 4.4 persons. The low family size could be attributed

to a high degree of urbanization with migration of people with higher literacy levels who generally

opt for smaller family size and family welfare measures.

Gender Ratio

The configuration of male and female indicates that the males constitute to about 51.0 % and

females to 49.0 % of the total population as per 2011 census records. The sex ratio i.e. the number

of females per 1000 males indirectly reveals certain sociological aspects in relation with female

births, infant mortality among female children and single person family structure, a resultant of

migration of industrial workers. The study area on an average has 998 females per 1000 males as

per 2011 census.

Social Structure

As per 2011 census, the percentage of scheduled caste population is 12.5% within 10-km radius

CHAPTER 4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.0 INTRODUCTION

Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact

Assessment studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict

impacts of developmental activities on physical, ecological and socio-economic environments.

Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental

quality to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The

prediction of impacts helps in minimizing the impacts on environmental quality during the

proposed project.

An attempt has been made to predict the incremental rise of various ground level

concentrations above the baseline status in respect to air pollution. The mathematical models

used for predictions in the present study is an EPA approved ISCST3 model which is used on

steady state Gaussian Plume Dispersion Model designed for point sources and area sources for

air quality. The predicted ground level concentrations computed using EPA approved ISCST3

model and plotted as isopleths concentrations.

In case of water, land, biological and socio-economic environment, the predictions have been

made based on available scientific literature and secondary sources of information.

In the earlier chapters, various process and pollution sources were identified. In this chapter,

an attempt has been made to predict the incremental rise of various ground level

concentrations above the baseline status due to the emissions from the proposed project.

BAL proposed to install the 2no’s of 9 MVA submerged electric arc furnaces for manufacturing

the Ferro manganese and Silico manganese production in addition to the 2 x 9 MVA furnaces

which are still under implementation. Hence for estimation of impacts all 6 no.s of 9 MVA

submerged electric arc furnaces were considered. To improve the supportive capacity of the

study area, mitigation measures including the measures to be undertaken at the source level

and an overall action plan at the study area level are detailed.

The impact of the proposed Ferro Alloy is studied in two distinct phases:

• Construction Phase

• Operational Phase

The impacts are regarded as temporary or short-term in construction phase where as long-

term in operational phase.



4.1 IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

During the construction activities, activities like leveling of site, construction of plant, and

erection of equipment would be taken-up for which the possible impacts could be as explained

below. These impacts are localized, short lived for majority of the parameters and permanent

positive impact for land use only.

4.1.1 Impact on Air Quality

Site development activities and vehicular movement may cause the release of fugitive dust into

the air. Also due to construction, vehicular traffic playing along the road, there may be

marginal increase in the concentration of SO2, NOx and CO. Regular sprinkling of water is

maintained during construction activities for the dust suppression. The approach roads and

vehicles are properly maintained in good condition to minimize impact due to vehicular traffic.

The impact of activities are temporary and effects during the construction phase are restricted

and confined within the project premises and are expected to be negligible outside the plant

premises. Proper upkeep and maintenance of vehicles, sprinkling of water during this phase,

providing sufficient vegetation, etc., are some of the measures are maintained to reduce the

impacts during the construction phase.

4.1.2 Impact on Water

Water requirement for construction phase will be met from APIIC. So there will not be any

impact on groundwater source in the region. Only foundation and superstructure development

along with curing of the structure are water intensive.

Mostly local labors are employed in the construction phase. In future, if labors are allowed to

stay at site, the number would not be more than 50 workers. At peak demand, the water

requirement for labor camp would be approximately 20 m3/day @ 135 liters per capita per day

(lpcd). These workers shall be accommodated inside the project premises. Temporary

sanitation facility will be provided for the construction labor in terms of septic tank followed by

soak pits. There will be water requirement during construction phase, which will be of

temporary in nature. Thus, a minor impact is envisaged on water, during the construction

phase.

4.1.3 Impact on Noise

The sources of noise during the construction phase are vehicular traffic, construction

equipment like dozers, scrapers, concrete mixers, cranes, hoists, pumps, compressors,

pneumatic tools, saws, vibrators, etc. The noise levels due to operation of the above



equipment will range between 70- 85 dB (A). The noise produced during construction has a

significant impact on the existing ambient noise levels. The major work will be carried out

during the daytime. Staggered operations are carried out to minimize the impact on the

ambient noise levels. The information is given in Table 4.1.

Table 4.1: Noise Limits for Appliances and Equipments

Source: CPCB, Domestic Appliances and Construction Equipments at the Manufacturing Stage

4.1.4 Impact on Land Use

The proposed Ferro Alloy project is in APIIC Growth Center. There will not be any adverse

impact on land use. Land for the proposed activity is in Industrial development area, thus,

there will be minor changes in the present land use pattern.

The present construction activity employed local people. The proposed construction activities

would attract labor of about 80 to 100 of skilled and unskilled from the nearby villages. Some

skilled workers from outside areas will be housed in the nearby areas. However, local labor

force is preferred to be employed.

4.1.5 Impact on Soil Quality

No blasting is envisaged for either leveling or during the foundation work. The site is plain and

needs very little grading, filling and leveling. The soil at the project site predominantly consists

of clay-sand. The sub-strata of this area are not rocky and uniformly plain. Hence, no impacts

are anticipated.

4.1.6 Impact on Ecosystem

Terrestrial Ecology

The proposed plant is in APIIC, Bobbili Growth Centre for Industries, and the land available for

construction is barren and does not have any flora of importance. Project site is devoid of

forest cover and does not harbor any fauna of importance.

Thus, the impact on terrestrial ecosystem during construction phase will not be there.



Aquatic Ecology

Sanitation facility will be provided to the laborers during construction, there will not be any

discharge of wastewater outside the premises of the plant or any nearby water bodies. Hence,

there will not be any impact on aquatic ecosystem of the study area.

4.1.7 Mitigation Measures During Construction Phase

The impacts during the construction phase on the environment would be of transient nature

and expected to reduce gradually on completion of the construction activities. In order to

mitigate them, the following measures are proposed.

Recommendations

During excavation and transportation over unmetalled roads at the plant site, there is scope

for localized fugitive dust emissions. Frequent water sprinkling in the vicinity of the

construction activity should be done and it should be continued even after the completion of

the construction, as there is scope for heavy truck mobility. The industry shall make provision

for water sprinklers.

Since, there is possibility of fugitive dust from the construction activity, material handling and

from the truck movement in the premises of the proposed project site, the industry is going for

extensive tree plantation.

BAL has provided suitable toilet facilities to allow proper standards of hygiene. Sanitation in

terms of septic tanks followed by soak pits are provided for the construction workers.

The noise effect on the nearest inhabitants due to construction activity will be negligible. On-

site workers are given PPE. Noise prone activities were restricted to the extent possible for

daytime hours only. The construction activities are staggered to minimize the noise impact.

An area earmarked for vehicle equipment maintenance is located in such a manner to prevent

contamination of surface and groundwater sources. Unauthorized dumping of waste oil is

prohibited for the same.

A proper garage area is earmarked for servicing of construction vehicles. Hazardous materials

like paints drums, etc., are stored in areas earmarked for the waste storage.

Hazardous wastes generated during construction phase may include lubricants, oil filters and

batteries. Pollution risks may arise from leakage and spillage of oil or fuel through poor

protection, vehicle damage or the accidental opening of valves. Potential pollution problems

may arise from storage, treatment and transportation of contaminated soils; and residual

paints and solvents. The hazardous waste material stored is and shall be disposed to



authorized vendors on periodic basis.

On completion of construction activity, the rubble/ rubbish will be cleared and all un-built

surfaces reinstated and suitably landscaped with plantation. This will also enhance the esthetic

beauty of the plant and will help to boost the working environment during the operational

phase.

As far as possible, local labor is employed, so that need for construction camp is minimized.

Moreover, local labor is also available from the nearby villages. This will benefit the nearby

areas as well.

4.1.8 Facilities for Construction Workforce

The contractor shall be asked to provide following facilities to construction work force:

First Aid: At work place, first aid facilities shall be maintained at a readily accessible place

where necessary appliances including sterilized cotton wool etc. shall be available. Ambulance

facilities shall be kept readily available at workplace to take injured person to the nearest

hospital.

Potable Water: Sufficient supply of water fit for drinking shall be provided at suitable places.

Sanitary Facility: Within the precinct of work place, latrines and urinals shall be provided at

accessible place. These shall be cleaned at least twice during working hours and kept in a good

sanitary condition. The contractor shall conform to sanitary requirement of local medical and

health authorities at all times.

Canteen: A canteen on a moderate scale shall be provided for the benefit of workers.

Security: Proponent shall provide necessary security to work force in co-ordination with state

authorities.

4.2 IMPACT DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE

The possible beneficial and adverse impacts on each component of environment due to

operation of plant are assessed and predicted below:

4.2.1 Impact on Land Use

As mentioned earlier, the plant site falls in a notified Industrial area for industrial development,

there will not be any negative impact on the land. Only the existing land use pattern on site will

be changed. An industrial structure will be developed. In addition, the site will be beautifully

landscaped and the greenbelt will be developed to increase the aesthetic view of the land.

Thus, impact on land use will be beneficial and permanent.



4.2.2 Impact on Soil Quality

During operation activity, the major solid waste as slag will be generated from the Ferro

Manganese Plant, which will be utilized as raw material for Silico Manganese. The slag

generated during production of Silico Manganese will be granulated and used for filling low-

lying areas.

During the operation phase, carefully designed landscaped areas and plantation will be

maintained. No significant impact is expected on the soils in and around the site, due to the

following management measures:

• Sewage water will be treated and recycled for gardening

• The entire site area will be well-paved and thus, there will be no leaching of any substances

in case of spills.

• Sludge from septic tank will be composted and used as manure for the development of

greenbelt. The manure will be organic in nature and will act as soil enricher.

Thus, the quality of the soil will improve and therefore, the impact on soil will be positive.

4.2.3 Impact on Topography

General topography of area is plain terrain and the entire project site is reasonably leveled.

However, development of land for civil works requires requisite filling, grading, leveling. Thus,

the impact on topography will be minimum and positive.

4.2.4 Impact on Air Environment

The present baseline concentrations were monitored in the EIA study. The additional emissions

are mainly from 4 x 9 MVA furnaces which are under implementation stage and 2 x 9 MVA

submerged electric arc furnaces which are proposed.

The proposed project activity will result in air emissions from the following areas.

a) Raw material Handling and storage area

b) Main Submerged Arc Furnace

c) Ferro manganese & Silico manganese storage and loading area.

The proposed submerged arc furnace being electrically operated, no fuel will be used. Hence

no major emissions are envisaged. The nature of emissions from the above units is detailed

below in Table 4.2.

Main submerged arc furnace Fugitive and Flue gas

and handling area

Fugitive

Fugitive dust emissions confine to area of emission source and its spread to further areas is

limited. Hence the impact of the fugitive dust is confined to the maximum of 50 m around the

source at a lower height of 5 – 10 m. BAL will incorporate the various pollution control systems

in the fugitive dust prone areas while designing of the plant.

The major air emissions from the proposed project, which will have the impact on the

surrounding is mainly from the Submerged Arc Furnace section where the dust is release

through flue gases to the atmosphere.

BAL will provide 6 tall stacks for each of the proposed furnaces to exhaust the flue

gas emissions. The major pollutants emitted from the unit will be particulate matter,

sulphur dioxide and oxides of nitrogen. The hot gases released from the furnace will

be of high temperature. BAL proposes to install Gas Cleaning Plant for controlling dust

emission. The hot gas emitted from the furnace will be conditioned by using radiant

coolers to reduce the temperature before entering the GCP.

The flue gases with a temperature of about 130 oC will be deducted in the Bag filter designed

for an outlet concentration of less than 50 mg/Nm3. The details of emission considered for

estimation of impacts are given below in Table 4.3.

4.2.5 Stack Height Estimation

BAL already proposes to install five tall stacks for each of the 6 no.s of 9 MVA Submerged

Electrical Arc Furnaces. The stack height has been estimated based on CPCB norms.

BAL proposes to install additional 2 numbers of tall stacks of 30 m height each for effective

dispersion of flue gas emissions, which will be generated from the 6 no’s of 9 MVA submerged

electric Arc Furnaces.

Stack Emissions Input Data to the Model

Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3) regulatory model recommended by United

States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) has been used for predicting the incremental

concentrations of PM and NOx form the proposed plant activities. ISCST3 is capable of

modeling multiple sources in simple and complex terrain.

ISCST3 calculates ground level and elevated ambient concentrations or deposition from stack,

volume and/ or area sources. The steady-state Gaussian plume equation for a continuous

source is used to calculate ground level concentrations for stack.

Input parameters required for ISCST3 are given below:

• X and Y co-ordinates for the source

• Source strength in terms of g/sec for NOx and PM

• Height of the stack in meters

• Temperature of the exit gas in degree Kelvin

• Exit velocity of the gas in m/sec

• Diameter of the stack in meters

• Meteorological parameters such as hourly data for wind direction, wind speed, mixing

height and atmospheric stability class

The air pollution modeling carried out represents the worst case operating scenarios. The

pollutants considered for modeling include NOx and Particulate Matter.

4.2.6 Meteorological Data

The meteorological data recorded continuously during the months of December 2016 to

February -2017 on hourly basis on wind speed, wind direction and temperature has been

processed to extract the 24 – hourly mean meteorological data as per the guidelines of IMD

and MoEFCC for application of ISCST3 model. Stability classes computed for the mean hours



are based on guidelines issued by CPCB on modeling. Mixing heights representative of the

region have been taken from the available published literature. The hourly meteorological data

recorded at site is converted to the mean hourly meteorological data as specified by CPCB and

the same has been used in the mode. In absence of site-specific mixing depths, mixing depths

published in “Spatial Distribution of hourly Mixing Depths over Indian Region” by Mr. R.N.

Gupta and recommended by CPCB have been used.

Model Employed

Prediction of cumulative ground level concentration due to emissions from the proposed

project has been computed using EPA approved ISCST3 model.

4.2.7 Application of ISCST3 for Prediction of Ground Level Concentration

ISCST3 Model with the following options has been employed to predict the ground level

concentration due to emissions from the proposed project in the Ferro alloy plant.

Areas being rural, rural dispersion parameters are considered.

Predictions have been carried out to estimate concentration values over radial distance of

10 km around the sources

Emission rates from the point sources and area sources were

considered as constant and during the entire period.

Consideration of settling velocity of the particles

The ground level concentrations computed were as is basis without any consideration of

decay coefficient.

Calm winds recorded during the study period were also taken into consideration

24 hourly (for 24 – hour mean meteorological data as per guidelines of IMD and MoEFCC )

mean ground level concentrations were estimated for the winter season using the mean

meteorological data of December 2016 to February 2017.

Emission Sources Considered for Simulations

Emissions from the 6 no’s 9 MVA Submerged electric Arc furnaces have been considered for

prediction of impacts.

Maximum Ground Level Concentrations:

Ground level concentrations of SPM and NOx were estimated using the mean meteorological

data to project the incremental increase of concentration above baseline concentrations due

to emission from the project.

The resultants values are compared with National Ambient Air Quality Emission (NAAQE)



Standards issued by Ministry vide G.S.R no. 826(E) dated November 16, 2009. Figure 4.1 and

Figure 4.2 represents the spatial distribution of the predicted ground level concentrations of

PM, and NOx due to emissions from the proposed project.

Post Project Scenario

Maximum ground level concentrations are predicted considering 24-hourly mean

meteorological data of during December 2016 to February 2017, superimposed on the

maximum baseline concentrations obtained during the study period to estimate the post

project scenario which would prevail at the post operations phase.

The Overall Scenario with predicted concentrations over the maximum baseline

concentrations is shown below.

Observations

It is observed from the model output that the incremental concentrations for PM10, and NOx

levels, maximum GLCs were observed to be 2 km in south east direction. It is noted that after

adding the incremental concentrations to maximum baseline values also, the ambient levels

will be within the specified limits.

Hence it can be concluded that, though there will be an increase in GLC levels, no major

significant impact on the air quality due to the proposed project is envisaged.


During construction, no significant impact is envisaged as most of the construction equipment

produces noise level below 80 dB (A). The noise generated is expected to be intermittent and

of short duration.

During operational phase after the proposed project the major noise generating sources are

plant machinery and generator. These sources will be located far off from each other. Under

any circumstances the noise level from each of these sources will not exceed 75 dB (A). The

present noise levels monitored at proposed plant are in the range of 75.0– 85.0 dB (A)

(Lp total) during the day time as there is construction of the first phase in the site.

Prediction of anticipated noise levels have been computed using point source model. A basic

phenomenon of the model is the geometric attenuation of sound. Noise at a point generates

spherical waves which are propagated outward from the source though the air at a speed of

1,100 ft/sec, with the first wave making an ever increasing sphere with time. As the wave

spreads the intensity of noise diminishes as the fixed amount of energy is spread over an

increasing surface area of the sphere.

The assumption of the model is based on point source relationship i.e. for every doubling of

the distance the noise levels are decreased by 6 dB (A). Point source propagation is defined by

the following equation:

Lp2 = Lp1 - 20 log r2/r1

Where Lp1 and Lp2 are sound pressure levels at points located at distances r1 and r2,

respectively, from the source.

Noise level at the plant boundary, calculated from the above equation, is expected to be less

than 60 db (A). Predictions carried out are on as is basis without taking into consideration any

attenuation factors. Additional attenuation is expected, due to atmospheric effect or its

interaction with objects in the transmission path.



Based on the above principle a noise model “Dhawani” has been developed by National

Environmental Engineering Research Institute (NEERI). The details of the model are as follows:

• Maximum number of sources is limited to 20

• Noise levels can be predicted at any distance depending upon the grid scale

• Model is designed to take topographical conditions (flat, undulated, etc.) terrain

• Coordinates of the sources with respect to the center co-ordinates of 0,0

• Maximum and minimum levels are calculated by the model

• Output of the model in the form of isopleths

• Environmental attenuation factors have not been incorporated in the model

Operational Noise Assessment

Noise generating equipments /machinery in the proposed project is given in table. Predictions

have been made taking into account all operations and utilities reflecting the worst-case

scenario. The predicted Noise Levels along the proposed plant boundary are shown in the

following Table 4.6, which are below the ambient noise standards. It is predicted that the high

noise levels will be limited to work zone only and the noise levels gradually decreases further

away from the source. Therefore, the impact of noise due to Ferro Alloy plant will be negligibly

adverse in nature.

The noise levels expected due to operation of these equipment will range between 85 -100 dB

(A). The noise produced during operation phase will have a significant impact on the existing

ambient noise levels. The major work will be carried out during the daytime.

Mitigation measure proposed

Noise levels generated during this proposed project is confined within the plant and is further

reduced due to attenuation of greenbelt. Noise level at the plant boundary, calculated from

the above equation, is expected to be less than 60 dB (A) without considering any attenuation

factors. BAL will develop the greenbelt in an area of 4.44 acres within the premises. Boundary

plantation developed will be act as a barrier and further reduce the noise levels.

4.2.9 Water Environment

The water requirement of the proposed plant is 90 KLD. The water will be mainly used for

furnace cooling purpose, greenbelt, dust suppression and domestic purpose only. Cooling

water will be continuously recalculated in the cooling circuit and domestic effluent is sent to

septic tank followed by soak pit. The water is supplied for cooling water in electrical Arc

Furnace. The water for other areas i.e. for greenbelt, dust suppression and domestic use is

supplied directly. However, the Plant will be designed for Zero Discharge from the operations.

Wastewater/ sewage generated from domestic activities will be treated in the septic tank

followed by soak pit. Zero discharge norms will be followed.

4.2.10 Solid Waste Generation

The estimated main solid waste generated from this proposed plant is Slag and Dust from bag

filters. About 270 TPD of slag from process and 2.5 TPD of Dust will be collected in the

proposed Bag Filters and this dust will be disposed to brick manufacturing units, where this

dust will be used as 10% substitute for cement.

7.1.2 Risk during Operational Phase

Activities requiring assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard

and accident are both onsite and off-site.

On-site

Exposure to fugitive dust, noise, and other emissions.

Housekeeping practices requiring contact with solid and liquid wastes.

Emission/spillage etc. from storage and handling.

Unsafe condition and unsafe act.

Off-site

Exposure to pollutants released from offsite/ storage/related activities

Contamination due to accidental releases or normal release in combination with natural

hazard

Deposition of toxic pollutants in vegetation / other sinks and possible sudden releases

due to accidental occurrences

7.1.3 Risk Analysis Methodologies

Risk assessment often requires the synthesis of risk profiles, which represent the probability

distribution of total annual loss due to a certain set of events or activities. These assessments

usually involve estimation of losses for several sub-classifications of the overall process and

synthesis of the results into an aggregate risk profile.



Main risk assessment technologies are:

Hazard and operability study (HAZOP), and

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

HAZOP Study

The HAZOP study is a systematic technique of identifying hazards of operability problems of a

process and lists all possible deviations from normal operating condition and how they might

occur. The consequences of the process are assessed and the means available to detect and

correct the deviations are examined. Thus, within the entire process all “credible” deviations

that could lead to hazardous events or operability problems are identified.

Fault Tree Analysis (FTA)

FTA is primarily a means of analyzing non-identifiable hazards. Hazards of top events (the

ultimate happening that is to be avoided) are first identified by other techniques such as

HAZOP. Then all combinations of individual failures that can lead to that hazardous event show

the logical format of the fault tree. Estimating the individual probabilities and then using the

appropriate arithmetical expressions can calculate the top event frequency.

Hazard Identification and Risk Assessment (HIRA)

There are three steps used to manage health and safety at work:

1. Spot the Hazard (Hazard Identification)

2. Assess the Risk (Risk Assessment)

3. Make the Changes (Risk Control)

Spot the Hazard

A hazard is anything that could hurt you or someone else.

Examples of workplace hazards include:

• Frayed electrical cords (could result in electrical shock);

• Boxes stacked precariously (they could fall on someone);

• Noisy machinery (could result in damage to your hearing).

Assess the Risk

Assessing the risk means working out how likely it is that a hazard will harm someone and how

serious the harm could be.

For example:

• Ask your supervisor for instructions and training before using equipment;

• Ask for help moving or lifting heavy objects;



• Tell your supervisor if you think a work practice could be dangerous.

Make the Changes

The best way to fix a hazard is to get rid of it altogether. This is not always possible, but

your employer should try to make hazards less dangerous by looking at the following

options (in order from most effective to least effective):

• Elimination - Sometimes hazards - equipment, substances or work practices - can be

avoided entirely. (e.g. Clean high windows from the ground with an extendable pole

cleaner, rather than by climbing a ladder and risking a fall.)

• Substitution - Sometimes a less hazardous thing, substance or work practice can be used.

(e.g. Use a non-toxic glue instead of a toxic glue.)

• Isolation - Separate the hazard from people, by marking the hazardous area, fitting

screens or putting up safety barriers. (e.g. Welding screens can be used to isolate welding

operations from other workers. Barriers and/or boundary lines can be used to separate

areas where forklifts operate near pedestrians in the workplace.)

• Safeguards - Safeguards can be added by modifying tools or equipment, or fitting guards

to machinery. These must never be removed or disabled by workers using the

equipment.

• Instructing workers in the safest way to do something - This means developing and

enforcing safe work procedures. Students on work experience must be given information

and instruction and must follow agreed procedures to ensure their safety.

• Using personal protective equipment and clothing (PPE) - If risks remain after the

options have been tried, it may be necessary to use equipment such as safety glasses,

gloves, helmets and ear muffs. PPE can protect you from hazards associated with jobs

such as handling chemicals or working in a noisy environment.

Sometimes, it will require more than one of the risk control measures above to effectively

reduce exposure to hazards.

that the controls are maintained, particulatly if the

riks levels are associated with extremely harmful

consequences and very harmful consequences.

15 – 25 Very high

These risks are unacceptable. Substantial improvements in

risk controls are necessary, so that the risk is reduced

to an acceptable level. The work activity should be

halted until risk controls are implemented that

reduce the risk so that it is no longer very hign. If it is

not possible to reduce risk the work should remain

prohibited.

- At least once in a year;

- Amendments / addition in legal requirements;



- Change in process or products handled;

- Internal and external audit results, including Specialized / Third Party Audits;

- Occurrence of accident, emergency;

7.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.3.1 Definition

A major emergency in an activity/project is one which has the potential to cause serious injury

or loss of life. It may cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside

and outside the activity/project. It would normally require the assistance of emergency

services to handle it effectively.

7.3.2 Scope

An important element of mitigation is emergency planning, i.e. identifying accident possibility,

assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the emergency procedures,

both on site and off site that would need to be implemented in the event of an emergency.

Emergency planning is just one aspect of safety and cannot be considered in isolation from the

proposed expansion and hence before starting to prepare the plan, works management will

ensure that the necessary standards, appropriate to safety legislation, are in place.

7.3.3 Objective

The overall objectives of the emergency plan will be:

To localize the emergency and, eliminate it; and

To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property.

Elimination will require prompt action by operations and works emergency staff using, for

example, fire–fighting equipment, water sprays etc.

Minimizing the effects may include rescue, first aid, evacuation, rehabilitation and giving

information promptly to people living nearby.



7.3.4 Identification of Hazards

The following types of hazards may be identified at plant.

Fire in Electric Panels, Oil room.

Waste treatment processes.

Cleaning of barrels, which have held chemical substances.

To deal the above emergencies, the Emergency Plan is prepared.

7.3.5 Safety Measures for Storage and Handling of Chemicals

The chemicals will be directly fed to the bottling unit mechanically and no manual handling will

be involved which will reduce the risk of spillage in the storage area. Following precautionary

measures would be taken for safety

Handling and Storage; Keeping away from heat, sparks and open flame, care will be

taken for avoidance of spillage, skin and eye contact, well ventilation, Use of approved

respirator if air contamination is above acceptable level will be promoted. For Storage

and handling following precautions will be taken:

• Keeping away from oxidizers, heat and flames.

• Avoidance of plastics, rubber and coatings in the storage area.

• Cool, dry, and ventilated storage and closed containers.

• Grounding of the container and transferring of equipment to eliminate static electric

sparks.

In case of any emergency following measures would be taken:

First Aid Measures: For Skin contact, Eye contact, and Inhalation.

Fire Fighting Measures:

• Use of extinguishing media surrounding the fire as water, dry chemicals (BC or ABC

powder), CO, Sand, dolomite, etc

• Foam System for firefighting will be provided to control fire from the fuel storage tank.

The foam thus produced will suppress fire by separating the fuel from the air (oxygen),

and hence avoiding the fire and explosion to occur in the tank. Foam would blanket the

fuel surface smothering the fire. The fuel will also be cooled by the water content of the

foam.

• The foam blanket suppresses the release of flammable vapors that can mix with the air.

• Special Fire Fighting Procedures; Keeping the fire upwind. Shutting down of all possible

sources of ignition, keeping of run-off water out of sewers and water sources. Avoidance



of water in straight hose stream which will scatter and spread fire. Use of spray or fog

nozzles will be promoted, cool containers will be exposed to flames with water from the

side until well after the fire is out.

• Hazardous Decomposition Products: gases of Carbon Monoxide (CO) and Carbon Dioxide

(CO2).

Accidental Release Measures; For Spill Cleanup well Ventilation, Shutting off or removal

of all possible sources of ignition, absorbance of small quantities with paper towels and

evaporate in safe place like fume hood and burning of these towels in a safe manner),

Use of respiratory and/or liquid-contact protection by the Clean-up personnel will be

promoted.

7.4 EMERGENCY PLANNING

7.4.1 General

Disaster Management Plan for an industrial unit is necessarily a combination of various actions

which are to be taken in a very short time but in a present sequence to deal effectively and

efficiently with any disaster, emergency or major accident with an aim to keep the loss of men,

material, plant/machinery etc. to the minimum.

The main functions of the Disaster Management Cell are to prepare a detailed Disaster

Management Plan, which includes:

Identification of various types of expected disaster depending upon the type of the

industrial unit.

Identification of various groups, agencies, departments etc. necessary for dealing with a

specific disaster effectively.

Preparation – by intensive training of relevant teams/groups within the organization to

deal with a specific disaster and keep them in readiness.

Establishment of an early detection system for the disaster.

Development of a reliable instant information/communication system.

Organization and mobilization of all the concerned departments/ organizations / groups

and agencies instantly when needed.

A major disaster that can be expected due to fire in this proposed plant expansion.



7.4.2 Emergency Planning for Disaster due to Fire

Cable rooms, transformer, unit, auxiliary transformers, oil tanks, etc. within the plant are the

likely areas for which disaster management plan is to be made to deal with any eventuality of

fire. Stores, workshop, canteen and administrative building will be included.

7.4.2.1Classification of Fire

Class (A)

Fire involving combustible materials like wood, paper, cloth etc.

Class (B)

Fire due to liquid materials like oil, diesel, petroleum products and all inflammables.

Class (C)

Fires involving domestic and industrial gases like butane and propane etc.

Class (D)

Metal fires etc.

Class (E)

Electrical fires due to short circuiting etc.

7.4.3 Need of Establishing a Fire Fighting Group

A small spark of fire may result into loss of machines and the damage by fire may high

economic losses. This type of losses can be avoided by preventing and controlling the fire

instantly for which fire–fighting group will be established.

Establish which would house and keep in readiness, the following types of equipment and

arrangements.

CO2 extinguishers

Dry powder chemical extinguishers

Foam extinguishers

80 mm. spray hoses

Fire brigade

Fire hydrant

Protocol (chemical to combat oil fires).

In order to avoid fire in cable galleries, all the power and control cables of FRLS type (Fire

Resistant Low Smoke) will be used.



7.4.4 Inspection

Fire alarm panel (electrical) will cover the entire plant. The inspection group will periodically

inspect fire extinguishers in fire stations and machines and other places.

The groups will display emergency telephone number boards at vital points.

The group will regularly carry out general inspection for fire.

7.4.5 Procedure for Extinguishing Fire

The following steps will be taken during a fire accident in the system:

As soon as the message is received about fire, one of the systems will be diverted to the place

of the fire accident along with a staff member.

Simultaneously plant fire station will be informed by phone walkie for fire brigades and fire

stations of nearby area.

In the meanwhile, the pipe system will be operated to obtain maximum pressure on output. In

case cables are within the reach of fire, power supply will be tripped and the cables shifted.

7.4.6 Fire Fighting with Water

Adequate and reliable arrangement is required for fighting the fire with water such as:

1. Provision for Fire brigade and Fire hydrant.

2. Arrangement of pipelines along and around all vulnerable areas.

3. Provision of valves at appropriate points to enable supply of water at the required

place/area or divert the same to another direction/pipe line.

4. Provision of overhead tanks which will be providing with the water during power failure

and it would work by the gravitational force.

7.4.7 Sources of Water for Fire Fighting

The following two sources of water have been considered for firefighting:

Overhead Tank

Raw Water Reservoir

7.4.8 Fire Fighting with Fire Extinguishers

To deal with fire – other than carbonaceous fires, which can be deal with by water – suitable

fire extinguishers are required to do the job effectively. It is therefore, necessary to keep

adequate number of extinguishers in readiness at easily approachable places. Adequate

number of fire stations would be:

Further, other spray groups from the system will be diverted to the spot.

In case of fire in the belt, belt will be cut near the burning portion to save the remaining



parts.

After extinguishing the fire, the area will be well prepared for reuse.

Foam System for firefighting will be provided to control fire from the fuel storage tank.

The foam thus produced will suppress fire by separating the fuel from the air (oxygen),

and hence avoiding the fire and explosion to occur in the tank. Foam would blanket the

fuel surface smothering the fire. The fuel will also be cooled by the water content of the

foam.

The foam blanket suppresses the release of flammable vapors that can mix with the air.

7.5 ON–SITE EMERGENCY PLAN

7.5.1 Introduction

The views of the possible hazards that can arise out of the daily operations in the plant, various

measures are adopted to prevent the occurrence of a major accident. This comprises of:

Built in safety measures, alarms, trips and interlocks etc.

Standard safe operating and maintenance procedures permit system etc.

Training of all the involved staff in normal and emergency operating procedures.

Training of all employees in safety, fire fighting and first aid.

However, in spite of these precautions, it is required to foresee situation of major accident and

plan for taking timely action to minimize the effects of such incident on the safety and health

of persons working in the plant as well as those living around the premises.

7.6 PREPARATION OF PLAN

7.6.1 Alarm System

A siren shall be provided under the control of Security office in the plant premises to give

warning. In case of emergencies this will be used on the instructions to shift in charge that is

external P&T telephones would be provided.



7.6.3 Fire Protection System

7.6.3.1Fire Fighting System

The fire protection system for the unit is to provide for early detection, alarm, containment

and suppression of fires. The fire detection and protection system has been planned to meet

the above objective an all–statutory and insurance requirement of Tariff Advisory Committee

(TAC) of India. The complete fire protection system will comprise of the following.

(a)Fire brigade

Automatic / manual fire detection and alarm system

(b)Fire Hydrant

Fire hydrant will be provided at all around in the plant as per TAC Norms.

(c)Portable fire extinguishers

Various areas of the plant will have one or more of the above system depending upon the

particular nature of risk involved in that area.

(d)Portable Chemical Fire Extinguishers

These are intended as a first line of defense, and hence will be stationed at strategic locations

in different buildings and also for outdoor facilities. Portable fire extinguishers will be foam

type; carbon dioxide type and multipurpose dry chemical (MPDC) type.

(e)Fire Detection and Alarm System

Fire detection and alarm system an effective means of detection, visual indication of fire

location and audible alarm of any fire at its incipient stage. This system will comprise fire alarm

panels, automatic fire detectors, manual call points and fire siren (hooter).

The main fire alarm panel will provide both visual and audible alarm of fire in any protected

areas of the plant.

Manual break glass type fire alarms will be provided at strategic locations where high hazards

exits.

Automatic fire detectors will be provided for coal handling areas and in plant areas such as

control rooms, switchgear rooms, cable galleries etc.

7.6.4 First Aid

A first aid centre with adequate facilities shall be provided. It shall be maintained round the

clock by a compounder cum dresser and a doctor. An Ambulance shall also be provided at site

to carry affected people to hospital.



7.6.5 Security

The security requirements of the company premises shall be taken care of by CSO assisted by a

Fire In charge. The team, apart from the normal security functions will manage the role

required during a disaster management operation as a part of the crisis control team.

7.6.6 Safety

The safety wing led by a Safety Manager will meet the requirement of emergencies round the

clock. The required safety appliances shall be distributed at different locations of the plant to

meet any eventualities. Poster/placards reflecting safety awareness will be placed at different

locations in the plant area.

7.6.7 Evacuation Procedure

As the major hazard is only due to fire, which has more or less localized impact no mass

evacuation, procedures are required. Evacuation would involve only the people working very

close to the fire area.

7.6.8 Emergency Control Center

Provision is made to establish an Emergency Control Centre (ECC) from which emergency

operations are directed and coordinated. This centre is activated as soon as on–site emergency

is declared.

The ECC consists of one room, located in an area that offers minimal risk being directly

exposed to possible accidents.

During an emergency, the Emergency Management Staff, including the site controller will

gather in the ECC. Therefore, the ECC is equipped with adequate communication systems in

the form of telephones and other equipments to allow unhampered organisations and other

nearby facility personnel.

The ECC provides shelter to its occupants against the most common accidents; in addition, the

ECC’s communication systems are protected from possible shutdown. The ECC has its own

emergency lighting arrangement and electric communication systems operation.

Only a limited and prearranged number of people are admitted to the ECC, when in use. This

eliminates unnecessary interference and reduces confusion.

The ECC is always ready for operation and provided with the equipment and supplies

necessary during the emergency such as:

– Updated copies of the On–site Disaster Management Plan.

– Emergency telephone numbers.



– The names, phone number, and address of external agencies, response organizations and

neighbouring facilities.

– The adequate number of telephone (more than two).

– Emergency lights, Clocks, Personal protective equipment.

– List of fire extinguishers with their type no. and location, capacity, etc.

– Safety helmets – List of quantity and location.

– Status boards/message board.

– Material safety data sheets for chemicals handled at the facility.

– Several maps of the facility including drainage system for surrounding area showing:

Areas where hazardous materials are stored.

Plot plans of storage tanks, routes of pipelines, all water permanent lines etc.

The locations where personal protective equipment are stored.

The position of pumping stations and other water sources.

Roads and plant entrances.

Assembly areas and layout of Hydrant lines.

7.6.9 Communication Equipments and Alarm Systems

This kind of equipment is absolutely vital for notifying accident; make the emergency known

both inside and outside of the facility, and coordinating, the response actions among the

various groups involved in response operations.

In particular, this equipment is used to communicate within the facility; communicate between

the facility and outside organizations; and inform the public.

Different communications systems can vary in effectiveness, depending on the task. The most

common types installed in the plant are given below.

7.6.9.1Sirens

These are audible alarm systems commonly used in facilities. In case of any emergency siren

will be operated short intermittently for 1.5 minutes.

An alarm does more than just emergency warning. It also instructs people to carry out specific

assignments, such as reach to assembly point for further instructions and actions, or carry out

protective measures; this can be achieved only if the people are familiar with the alarm

systems and are trained to respond to it.



7.6.10 Personal Protective Equipments

This equipment is used mainly for three reasons; to protect personnel from a hazard while

performing rescue/accident control operations, to do maintenance and repair work under

hazardous conditions, and for escape purposes. The list of Personal Protective Equipment

provided at the facility and their locations are available in ECC.

Effective command and control accomplish these functions necessitates personal trained in

this On–site Disaster Management Plan with adequate facilities and equipments and

equipment to carry out their duties and functions. These organizations and the facilities

required to support their response are summarized in the following subsections. Emergency

Control Plan is given in Figure 7.1 and list of contact person during emergency is given in Table

– Developing Safety Instructions for every Job and ensuring these instructions/booklets

or manuals by the workers.



7.7 OFF-SITE EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS PLAN

The task of preparing the Off-Site Emergency Plan lies with the district collector; however the

off-site plan will be prepared with the help of the local district authorities. The proposed plan

will be based on the following guidelines.

Introduction

Off-site emergency plan follows the on-site emergency plan. When the consequences of an

emergency situation go beyond the plant boundaries, it becomes an off-site emergency. Off-

site emergency is essentially the responsibility of the public administration. However, the

factory management will provide the public administration with the technical information

relating to the nature, quantum and probable consequences on the neighboring population.

The off-site plan in detail will be based on those events which are most likely to occur, but

other less likely events which have severe consequence will also be considered. Incidents

which have very severe consequences yet have a small probability of occurrence will also be

considered during the preparation of the plan. However, the key feature of a good off-site

emergency plan is flexibility in its application to emergencies other than those specifically

included in the formation of the plan.

The roles of the various parties who will be involved in the implementation of an off-site plan

are described below. Depending on local arrangements, the responsibility for the off-site plan

will be either rest with the works management or, with the local authority. Either way, the

plan will identify an emergency co-coordinating officer, who would take the overall command

of the off-site activities. As with the on-site plan, an emergency control center will be setup

within which the emergency co-coordinating office can operate.

An early decision will be required in many cases on the advice to be given to people living

“within range” of the accident - in particular whether they should be evacuated or told to go

indoors. In the latter case, the decision can regularly be reviewed in the event of an escalation

of the incident. Consideration of evacuation may include the following factors.

• In the case of a major fire but without explosion risk (e.g an oil storage tank), only houses

close to the fire are likely to need evacuation, although a severe smoke hazard may

require this to be reviewed periodically;

• If a fire is escalating and in turn threatening a store of hazardous material, it might be

necessary to evacuate people nearby, but only if there is time; if insufficient time exists,

people should be advised to stay indoors and shield themselves from the fire.



Aspects to be considered in the Off-Site Emergency Plan

The main aspects, which will be included in the emergency plan, are:

Organization

Details of command structure, warning systems, implementation procedures, emergency

control centers.

Names and appointments of incident controller, site main controller, their deputies and other

key personnel.

Communications

Identification of personnel involved, communication center, call signs, network, lists of

telephone numbers.

Specialized Knowledge

Details of specialist bodies, firms and people upon whom it may be necessary to call i.e. those

with specialized chemical knowledge, laboratories.

Voluntary Organizations

Details of organizers, telephone numbers, resources etc

Chemical Information

Details of the hazardous substances stored or procedure on each site and a summary of the

risk associated with them.

Meteorological Information

Arrangements for obtaining details of weather conditions prevailing at the time and weather

forecasts.

Humanitarian Arrangements

Transport, evacuation centers, emergency feeding, treatment of injured, first aid, ambulances,

temporary mortuaries.

Public Information

Arrangements for dealing with the media press office; informing relatives, etc.

Assessment

Arrangements for: (a) collecting information on the causes of the emergency; (b) reviewing the

efficiency and effectiveness of all aspects of the emergency plan.

Role of the Emergency Co-coordinating Officer

The various emergency services will be co-ordinate by an emergency coordinating officer

(ECO), who will be designated by the District Collector. The ECO will liase closely with the site



main controller. Again depending on local arrangements, for very severe incidents with major

or prolonged off-site consequences, the external control will be passed to a senior local

authority administrator or even an administrator appointed by the central or state

government.

Role of the Local Authority

The duty to prepare the off-site plan lies with the local authorities. The emergency planning

officer (EPO) appointed will carry out his duty in preparing for a whole range of different

emergencies within the local authority area. The EPO will liase with the works, to obtain the

information to provide the basis for the plan. This liaison will ensure that the plan is

continually kept up-to-date.

It will be the responsibility of the EPO to ensure that all those organizations which will be

involved off site in handling the emergency, know of their role and are able to accept it by

having for example, sufficient staff and appropriate equipment to cover their particular

responsibilities. Rehearsals for off-site plans will be organized by the EPO.

Role of Police

Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life and property and

controlling traffic movements.

Their functions will include controlling bystanders evacuating the public, identifying the dead

and dealing with casualties, and informing relatives of death or injury.

Role of Fire Authorities

The control of a fire will be normally the responsibility of the senior fire brigade officer who

would take over the handling of the fire from the site incident controller on arrival at the site.

The senior fire brigade officer will also have a similar responsibility for other events, such as

explosions. Fire authorities in the region will be apprised about the location of all stores of

flammable materials, water and foam supply points, and fire-fighting equipment. They will be

involved in on-site emergency rehearsals both as participants and on occasions, as observes of

exercises involving only site personnel.

Role of Health Authorities

Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances, and so on, will have a

vital part to play following a major accident, and they will form an integral part of the

emergency plan.



For major fires, injuries will be the result of the effects of thermal radiation to a varying

degree, and the knowledge and experience to handle this in all but extreme cases may be

generally available in most hospitals.

Major off-site incidents are likely to require medical equipment and facilities additional to

those available locally, and a medical “mutual aid “scheme should exist to enable the

assistance of neighboring authorities to be obtained in the event of an emergency.

Role of Government Safety Authority

Factory Inspectors of the region may like to satisfy themselves that the organization

responsible for producing the off-site plan has made adequate arrangements for handling

emergencies of all types including major emergencies. They may wish to see well documented

producers and evidence of exercise undertaken to test the plan.

In the event of an accident, local arrangements regarding the role of the factory inspector will

apply. These may vary from keeping a watching brief to a close involvement in advising on

operations.

7.8 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Large industries, in general, and chemical plants in particular where multifarious activities are

involved during construction, erection, testing, commissioning, operation & maintenance, the

men, materials and machines are the basic inputs. Along with the boons, the industrialization

generally brings several problems like occupational health and safety.

Occupational Health

Occupational health needs attention both during construction & erection and operation &

maintenance phases. However, the problem varies both in magnitude and variety in the above

phases.

Construction & Erection

The occupational health problems envisaged at this stage can mainly be due to constructional

accident and noise.

To overcome these hazards, in addition to arrangements to reduce it within TLV’s personal

protective devices should also be supplied to workers.

Operation and Maintenance

The problem of occupational health, in the operation and maintenance phase is due to

Respirable dust and noise. With suitable engineering controls the exposures can be reduced to

less than TLV limits and proper personnel protective devices should be given to employees.



The working personnel should be given the following appropriate personnel protective

devices.

• Industrial Safety Helmet

• Crash Helmets

• Zero power plain goggles with cut type filters on both ends.

• Zero power goggles with cut type filters on both sides and blue colour glasses

• Chemical goggles

• Welders equipment for eye & face protection

• Cylindrical type earplug

• Ear muffs

• Dust masks

• Canister Gas mask

• Self contained breathing apparatus

• Leather apron

• Aluminized fiber glass fix proximity suit with hood and gloves

• Boiler suit

• Safety belt/lime man’s safety belt

• Leather hand gloves

• Asbestos hand gloves

• Acid/Alkali proof rubberized hand gloves

• Canvas cum leather hand gloves with leather palm

• Lead hand glove

• Electrically tested electrical resistance hand gloves

• Industrial safety shoes with steel toe

• Rubber boots (alkali resistant)

• Electrical safety shoes without steel toe and gum boots

Full fledged hospital facilities should be made available round the clock for attending

emergency arising out of accidents, if any. All working personnel should be medically examined

at least once in every year and at the end of his term of employment. This is in addition to the

pre-employment medical examination.



Safety Plan

Safety of both men and materials during construction and operation phases is of concern. The

preparedness of an industry for the occurrence of possible disasters is known as emergency

plan. The disaster in the plant is possible due to leakage of hazardous chemicals, collapse of

structures and fire/explosion etc.

Keeping in view the safety requirement during construction, operation and maintenance

phases, plant has formulated safety policy with the following regulations:

• To allocate sufficient resources to maintain safe and healthy conditions at work;

• To take steps to ensure that all known safety factors are taken into account in the design,

construction, operation and maintenance of plants, machinery and equipment;

• To ensure that adequate safety instruction are given to all employees;

• To provide wherever necessary protective equipment, safety appliances and clothing,

and to ensure their proper use;

• To inform employees about materials equipment or processes used in their work which

are known to be potentially hazardous to health or safety;

• To keep all operations and methods of work under regular review for making necessary

changes from the point of view of safety in the light of experience and upto date

knowledge;

• To provide appropriate facilities for fist aid and prompt treatment of injuries and illness at

work;

• To provide appropriate instruction, training, retraining and supervision to employees in

health and safety, first aid and to ensure that adequate publicity is given to these matters;

• To ensure proper implementation of fire prevention methods and an appropriate fire

fighting service together with training facilities for personnel involved in this service;

• To organize collection, analysis and presentation of data on accident, sickness and incident

involving personnel injury or injury to health with a view to taking corrective, remedial and

preventive action;

• To promote through the established machinery, joint consultation in health and safety

matters to ensure effective participation by all employees;

• To publish/notify regulations, instruction and notices in the common language of

employees;



• To prepare separate safety rules for each types of occupation/processes involved in a

project; and

• To ensure regular safety inspection by a competent person at suitable intervals of all

buildings, equipment, work places and operations.

Safety Organization

Construction & Erection Phase

A qualified and experienced safety officer will be appointed. The responsibilities of the safety

officers include identification of the hazardous conditions and unsafe acts of workers and

advice on corrective actions, conduct safety audit, organize training programs and provide

professional expert advice on various issues related to occupational safety and health. He is

also responsible to ensure compliance of works Safety Rules/Statutory Provisions.

In addition to employment of safety officer by plant every contractor, who employs more than

70 workers, should also employ one safety officer to ensure safety of the workers, in

accordance with the conditions of contract.

Operation & Maintenance Phase

When the construction is completed the posting of safety officers should be in accordance

with the requirement of Factories Act and their duties and responsibilities should be as defined

thereof.

Safety Circle

In order to fully develop the capabilities of the employees in identification of hazardous

processes and improving safety and health, safety circles would be constituted in each area of

work. The circle would consist of 5-6 employees from that area. The circle normally should

meet for about an hour every week.

Safety Training

A full fledged training center will be set up. Safety training will be provided by the Safety

Officer with the assistance of faculty members called from Corporate Center, Professional

Safety Institutions and Universities. In addition to regular employees, limited contractor labors

are also provided safety training. To create safety awareness safety films will be shown to

workers and leaflets etc. will be distributed.

Some precautions and remedial measures proposed to be adopted to prevent fires are:

• Compartmentation of cable galleries, use of proper sealing techniques of cable passages

and crevices in all directions would help in localizing and identifying the area of



occurrence of fire as well as ensure effective automatic and manual fire fighting

operations;

• Spread of fire in horizontal direction would be checked by providing fire stops for cable

shafts;

• Reliable and dependable type of fire detection system with proper zoning and interlocks

for alarms are effective protection methods for conveyor galleries;

• Housekeeping of high standard helps in eliminating the causes of fire and regular fire

watching system strengthens fire prevention and fire fighting; and

• Proper fire watching by all concerned would be ensured.

CHAPTER 10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.0 INTRODUCTION

The environmental management plan consists of the set of mitigation, management,

monitoring and institutional measures to be taken during implementation and operation to

eliminate adverse environmental impacts or reduce them to acceptable levels. The present

environmental management plan addresses the components of environmental affected during

construction of the plant and by the different activities forming part of the manufacturing

processes.

Environmental Policy

i. Overall conservation of environment.

ii. Minimization of waste generation and pollution.

iii. Judicious use of natural resources and water.

iv. Safety, welfare and good health of the work force and populace.

v. Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

vi. Vigilance against probable disasters and accidents.

vii. Monitoring of cumulative and long time impacts.

viii. Ensure effective operation of all control measures.

Annual review of the entire system and various environment management as well as process

control and monitoring systems shall be done. Environment monitoring shall be done to collect

the data on air, water, soil, noise etc. and duly recorded. Environmental Management Plan

which shall be implemented is detailed under the following heads:

i. Pollution Control Systems

ii. Waste Minimization and Resource Conservation

iii. Occupational Health and Safety

iv. Socio-Economic Development

v. Greenbelt Development Plan

Standards operating procedures, formats will be developed and records will be maintained.

Provision of internal audit will be made. Any NCs/Observation will be directly conveyed to

Management and accordingly corrective and preventive action will be taken.



10.1 POLLUTION CONTROL SYSTEM

Detailed study of the pre-project commissioning environment and also the likely (and

predicted) implications after the plant commissioning suggests that the following

preventive/control measures are considered necessary to reduce the adverse impact to the

utmost practicable limit.

10.1.1 Air Environment

i. Stack height would be approx 30 m (6 nos.) for gaseous emission confirming to the CPCB

norms. D. G. Sets, stack height of 3.0 m above the roof level will be maintained.

ii. Stack emission level will be kept within permissible limit by installation of bag filter and

online stack emission monitoring will be done.

iii. Ambient air quality and stack emission would be regularly monitored and effective

control exercised, so as to keep limits on stack emission loads would be met honestly at

all the time.

iv. In order to avoid fugitive emissions from different sources, water will be sprayed. Also

the roads within the premises will be concreted to prevent dust emission.

v. The ambient air monitoring will be carried out regularly in the work zone and

surrounding areas, to check that ambient air levels of the contaminants, are well below

the stipulated norms.

vi. Green belt around the periphery and within premises will be developed which will help in

attenuating the pollutants emitted by the plant.

10.1.2 Action Plan to Control Fugitive Emission

Main source of fugitive emissions is transportation of men and material during operational

phase of project. To control fugitive emissions following measures shall be adopted:

i. In order to avoid fugitive emissions from different sources spraying of water shall be

used,

ii. The roads within the premises will be concreted / paved to avoid vehicular emissions,

iii. All transportation vehicles shall carry a valid PUC (Pollution under Control) Certificate,

iv. Proper servicing and maintenance of vehicles will be carried out,

v. Regular sweeping of all the roads and floors will be done,

vi. 33% of the total plant area will be developed as green area. Green belt act as surface for

settling of dust particle and thus will reduce the particulate matter in air, and



vii. Ambient air quality will be regularly monitored and effective control exercised, so as to

keep emission within the limits. (Table 10.1).

Table 10.1: Action Plan to Control Fugitive Emissions

S. No. Emissions Sources Management measures

1. Vehicular emissions Paved roads

Regular sweeping

Water sprinkling through mobile tankers

CPCB Guidelines will be followed

10.1.3 Waste Water Environment

The proposed project would be based on “Zero Liquid Discharge” (ZLD).

10.1.4 Solid Waste Environment

Slag will be sold to brick manufactures and bag filter dust will be used in process.


Various components of industrial operations will cause some amount of noise, which will be

controlled by proper maintenance and compact technology.

i. Time to time oiling and servicing of machineries will be done.

ii. Acoustic enclosure for Turbine and D.G. sets will be provided.

iii. Green belt development (plantation of dense trees across the boundary) will help in

reducing noise levels in the plant as a result of attenuation of noise generated due to

plant operations, and transportation.

10.1.6 Green Belt Development

Green belt planning will be done with ecological perspectives for plant of BAL plant taking

into consideration the nature of pollutants, availability of space and dominant wind

directions. Recommendations given by expert committee on plantation requirements in the

premises of the plant would be fully implemented. This will help in reducing the

concentration of pollutants and will also be effective in attenuating noise levels.

BAL has social obligation to recreate the environmental status by providing thick green cover

to suppress fugitive emission and provide aesthetic beauty. Trees form the important part of

the biosphere in the Eco-system.

It will be exercised as follows:

i. Green belt development in and around the project site will help in to attenuate the

pollution level.



ii. Out of the total plant area 33% land will be utilized for green belt development and

plantation will be done as per Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) Norms.

iii. Native species will be given priority for Avenue plantation.

iv. The periphery will be devoted to generation of green belt area.

10.1.6.1 Eco System

Environment, which is the sum of both non-living and living factors existing at a place,

interacts and influences the ecology of the area. Ecology is an important component

comprising of flora (vegetation and micro plant species) and fauna (wildlife and terrestrial

micro organisms).

The biotic or physical factors include topography, soils, climate etc that are influenced by

natural perils and/or pollution. On the other hand, biotic factors include living things such as

flora, fauna, wildlife and human beings. A change in the physical factors can bring about a

change in the biotic factors thereby changing the ecology of the area.

Living beings generally adapted to a particular setting (habitat or ecosystem) and are

organized into natural groupings (communities) with mutual dependencies among their

members. An ecosystem comprises of both plant and animal populations that involve total

nutrient and energy economics associated with the entire system. A series of recognizable

ecosystem alterations, called ecological successions, may occur due to certain imposed

changes in the natural community.

Living beings show various responses and sensitivities to outside influences resulting in an

ecological imbalance or change in habitat or ecosystem. Moreover, changes in pollution

levels due to project activities may also alter the ecology of the environment. Project

activities may produce adverse ecological impact of direct or indirect nature, which can be

either short term or long term, depending on the nature of the action. Although every

impacted environment has some recovery potential, the extent of recovery would depend on

the type, degree and location of the impact as well as on mitigative measures initiated to

achieve recovery.

Generally, short-term impacts are immediate and direct result of environmental changes

that may occur at the inception of the proposed project. These changes may be self-

corrective through natural recovery processes, after the completion of the construction

phase. On the other hand, long-term impacts result from major indirect environmental

changes, which are caused during the operational phase of a project.



10.1.6.2Plantation Techniques

Green belt will be developed within the Plant premises covering a total area of about 4.44

Acres (33%) of total Plant area. The plantation work for green belt development will be

carried out as per CPCB guidelines, local species would be preferred.

10.1.6.3Aftercare and Monitoring

Investment on reclamation would be futile without adequate and timely aftercare. Aftercare

includes weeding, soil working, mulching and fertilizing, and if possible, irrigation to promote

better growth of the planted seedlings. The vegetated area would be protected from grazing

of animals until the plants are above the level of damage. Wherever necessary, fencing

would be erected on the boundaries of reclaimed areas.

Monitoring of the programme is the only way to improve both the long-term and short-term

planning. It involves two important aspects, namely site investigation and record keeping.

10.1.6.4Baseline data and Potential Impacts of the Study Area

The flora and fauna of an area shows a certain affinity to the existing environmental setting.

Due to the proposed facility, there could probably be a change in the environmental

surroundings for a short duration due to the construction phase and for a long term due to

the operation of the project activities. Thus, in order to predict the ecological impacts from

the proposed project, it is necessary to detail the baseline data.

The potential impacts on the ecology of the study area are discussed below:

i. As no wastewater from the proposed project will be discharged outside the premises,

there will be no impact on the ecology of the study area due to wastewater arisen from

the proposed project.

ii. The flora and fauna of the area could be disturbed if the various air pollutants discharged

from the proposed facility would not be maintained within specified permissible limits.

But project authority has already mentioned the adequate stack height, etc. Thus, the

potential impact of air emission can be rated as no impact.

iii. Moreover, the proposed green belt would help in reducing the adverse impacts further if

any.

iv. On the periphery of the plant a series of trees will also be planted.



10.1.6.5 Recommendation on Green Belt Development

A green belt or tree plantation around the proposed plant shall help to arrest the effects of

particulate matter and gaseous pollutants in the area besides playing a major role in

environmental conservation efforts. Green belt development and plantation programme for

the proposed project shall also be a part of the proposed plan.

For effective control of air pollutants in and around the proposed industry, a suitable green

belt will be developed by taking into consideration the following criteria. The green belt

would;

a. Mitigate gaseous emissions

b. Have sufficient capability to arrest accidental release.

c. Effective in wastewater reuse.

d. Maintain the ecological balance.

e. Control noise pollution to a considerable extent.

f. Prevent soil erosion.

g. Improve the aesthetics.

Taking the above-mentioned criteria into consideration, the proposed green belt would be

covering around 33% of the total area. The green belt would be consisting of shrubs, trees,

avenue trees, revenue trees, crops and potted plants. All the species suggested are pollution

tolerant, besides having an aesthetic appeal. All the species suggested are pollution tolerant,

besides having an aesthetic appeal. Greenbelt development recommended plant species are

given in Table 10.2. The greenbelt plan is shown in Figure 10.1.

10.1.7 Occupational Health and Safety

Production of Material involves storage handling and use of several chemicals. Some of these

chemicals are toxic and hazardous in nature. Information about these chemicals is therefore

important for the safety of the employees and the plant. Besides, the health status of the

employees is also important which may be affected due to exposure to these chemicals. The

exposures may be sudden and accidental or for a long period. In both of the cases there will

be different health effects. Therefore safety measures dealing with these chemicals are of

vital importance and will be followed judiciously.

1. In order to ensure good health of workers, regular health check-up of the plant workers

will be carried out.

2. Occupational health surveillance programme will be taken as a regular exercise for all the

employees and their records maintained.

3.0 Approach Methodology

3.1 Objectives

The primary objectives of the socio-economic impact assesment are:

- Understanding the baseline socio-economic environment obtaining in the impact zone. - Identifying the key stakeholders who are likely to be impacted by the establishment of

the proposed project. - Assessing the positive and negative impacts of the project on the socio-economic

environment in the area. - Suggesting mitigation measures to minimize the native impacts.

3.2 Scope

The scope of socio-economic assessment extends to:

- Assessing the baseline socio-economic environment prevailing in the impact area focusing the core and buffer zones. - Identifying key economic sectors and major sources of livelihood in the study area. - Understanding social structures and lifestyles of people in the area who are likely to be affected the most. - Assessing physical and social infrastructure facilities accessible to the project affected people. - Identifying heritage precinct and archeological monuments, if any in the area which may be affected by the proposed project - Predicting the likely socio-economic impacts as consequence of establishing the project. - Suggesting adverse impact mitigation measures in line with the felt needs, aspirations and expectations of the project affected people. - Preparing an appropriate Socio-economic Environment Management Plan.

3.3 Coverage

The geographical coverage for the socio-economic impact assessment extends to 40 villages located within the 10 km radius from the proposed site.

3.4 Approach

The basic approach to carrying out the SEIA focued on:

Zeroing-in on the project impact area covering all the villages and other habitations falling within the mandatory 10 km radius from the project site.

Collecting the basic information with repect to the village in the project impact area in terms of census village code, name of the Mandal in which a particular village falls, number of households, population level(as per Census 2011) and growth of village population during the last decade, distance from the proposed project site etc.

Gathering macro level socio-economic information, at Mandal level, with the help of econdery data.

Identifying critical knowlwedge/information gaps which impede an objective and reliable aessment of the ocio-economic impacts of the project.

Zeroing-in on the data/information to be colleted fro a fair impact assessment and deciding upon the sources and mean to collecting the same.

Identifying the key stakeholders and potential respondents for collecting the required information.

Drawing a sampling frame and size specifying ample villages,number of households to be contacted for primary data/information collection and agencies to be contacted for eliciting information on various aspects relevent to the study.

Finalisation of survey intruments, constitutions of a survey team and orientation of field investigators.

Carrying out field surveys in the sample villges and simultaneously carrying out data accuracy and reliability checks.

Processing, tabulation and analysi of data with the help of appropriate statistical tools. Interpretation of data to arrive at valid conclusions. Preparing and presentaing SEIA report.

3.5 Methodology

The socio-economic impact assessment of the proposed project relied on a mix of both secondary and primary data collected from various sources. The EIA was carried out in three different stages-Desks Research, Data Analysis and Report Preparation. The methodology adopted in each stage is explained in what follows.

4.0 Baseline Socio-economic Environment

Indutrial developemnet projects of any size and nature will have impacts on people’s way of life, their culture, community, health and wellbeing, their assessts and livelihoods. The impacts could be both negative and positive. Socio-economic impact assesment seeks to identify such impacts and focus on the ways and means to minimize the incidence of negative impacts. It is therefore imperative to understand the baseline socio-economic senerio in the study area to systemetically gauze the magnitude of possible impacts.The study team thus has captured a baic socio-economic profile of the area as presented in what follows.

4.1 Demographic Profile

The sociological aspects of this study include human ettlements, demography, and social strata such as Scheduled Caste and Scheduled Tribes and literacy levels besides infrastrucute facilities available in the study area. The economic aspects include occupational structure and income levels of workers.

The key demographic of the tudy area comprising 40 villages are presented in below Table.

Average literacy at 21.6% is the minimum in Alluduvalasa village.

Average literace at 68.9% is the maximum in Bobbili.

5 Households (No.) 42,885 Average 4.4 persons per

household -2.3 males and 2.1 females.

4.2 Population

Total population of villages within 10 Km radius of the study area as collected from 2011 census hand book was the percentage of male and female to the total population was 50 % and 50 %. Similarly the percentage of schedule caste and scheduled tribe to the total population were 21% and 1.5 % respectively.

4.3 Occupational Districbution

The occupational districbution in the study area points to be predominance of Cultivators followed by Agricalture Labourers than Household Industry Workers, (2%) are cultivators followed by Agricaltural Labourers (39%), Other than Household Industry Workers (34%) and Other Workers (34%).

4.4 Livelihoods

4.4.1 Agricalture

Agricalture and alied allied activites - cattle reaing and backyard poultry - are traditionally the predoinant source of livelihood in the area. Jowar and Raagi are the principal food crops raised while Sugarcane & Onion is the major cash crops grown.

Farmaing in the area is largely monsoon dependent as sistainable ittigation facilites are n’t available. Normal annual rainfal in the hovers around 800 mm, while the actual rainfal for the three year period ending 2015-2016 has been substanitially low varying between a minimum of 620 mm in 2014-15and maximun of 700 mm in 2013-2014. The predominant source of irrigarion

in the area is bore wells which generally yield limited quantities of water. As such, agricalture is largely a subitence activity and a fairly high degree of under employment prevalent.

Agricalture allied activites such as rearing milch cattle and backyard poultry farming are other complementary sources of incomes to the households. Engagement of women in these activites is more common. Some of the women are also engaged in small business as vegitable and flowers vending.

4.5 Lifetyles

No reliable information/data are available, either at the district or mandal levels, on the lifestyles of people. As such, it will ve very difficult to asses the lifestyles in the area with reasonable accuracy. However, based on an impressionistic assesment during the field surveys, it is felt that a majority of the population in the area owns a residence to live in, They have access to basic amenities such as drinking water, electric power, education and healthcare. A majority of the people in the area also have acess to a mobile phone and a cable TV connection. They own a two wheeler as a means of personal transport. Generally participation and interaction amoung the pople in the area is concern during festivals, functions and cultural events. Participation in marriages and mourning is reported to be more common among homogenous social groups.

The recreation facilities in the area are reflected in watching TV,playing, cinima going and partying.

4.6 Physical Infrastructure

All the villages are electrified and connected with all-weather village roads. Pasenger tranportation is essentially provided by the State Road Tranport Corporation. Regular bus facilites exist up to the road heads connecting the villages to the main road/highway. From there shared auto rikshawa connect the villages. Bicycles and motor cycles are also commonly sighted. During rainy season it is generally difficult to reach the interior villages. Almost all the villages have acces to safe drinking water. All the villages are fluoride free.

4.7 Social Infrastructure

A reasonable network of primary and upper primary schools, junior colleges and degree colleges managed by the Government exixts in the area. A few prvately managed educational instutions also exit for schooling.

Healthcare is available a network of Government run PHCs. Private Clinics also exist in the area. Relatively better medicare facilites are available at Bagalkot town.

4.8 Archaeological Monuments

No archaeological monuments, heritage percincts or religious places are noticed in the study area that may be adversely affected by the establihment of the proposed project.

4.9 Sources of Livelihood:

Agricalture and allied activites are the predominant of livelihood for the house hold population, followed by other souces such as self-employment and wage employment in the household industry.

48% of the houehold population is engaged ascultivators follwed by agricatureal labourers 42% . Employment in Household industry is nominal.

5.0 Predicted Impacts little

The socio-economic impacts af the proposed project could be assessed in terms of demand supply aspects for good and services in the area, pressure on natural resources and infrastructure, grouth of industry, sustsinability of livelihoods and employment.

Some indirect impacts can also be understood interms of public health and safety, preserving local culture and aesthetics of the archaeological monuments and heritage precincts.

Based on a cloe understanding and assesment, the socio-economic impacts of the proposed project predicted as follows:

Positive Impacts Negitive Impacts

i) There is no loss of land and consequential livelihoods, as no land acquistion is contemplated. The proposed site forms part of Private patta land.

ii) Creation of employment opportinities for about 45 to 50 local skilled and semi-killed workers during project construction and operation phses.

iii) Multiplier effect due to induced growth during contruction and operational phaes in downstream and upstream project activites for about 100 persons majority of them local women and youth.

iv) Development/upgradation of vocational and soft skills of about 100 local youth over next five years thus enhancing their empliyability.

i) Air & Noice pollution through release of fugitive dust during operational process leading to possible incidence of respiratory diseases, irrigation of eyes and noe etc., for people living in the core impact zone.

ii) Possible adverse impact on crop productivety as a result of fugitive dust setting on plants in the vicinity.

iii) Increased influx of people, and tranport vehicles putting pressure on the already underdeveloped road network in the vivinity.

v) Emergence of local enterpreneur in complementary activites such as small business transporation,equipment repairs and maintence etc.

vi) Strengthening of pyical infrastructure such as roads and power network.

There are no heritage precincts and archaeological monuments in the project site vicinity that would be adversely impacted by the proposed expansion project.

6.0 Mitigation of Adverse Impacts

6.1 Mitigation Measures

The project proponent would be required to initate the following measures to minimize the possible negative impacts, as a conswquence of setting up his proposed project at plot no.368, APIIC Growth center, Bobbili, Vijayanagaram district, Andhra Pradesh, on the surrounding socio-economic environment:

- Install appropritate dust control equipment to check air pollution - Organise monthly health camps in the area to check the incidence of any respiratory and

other related disorders. - Organisinig voactional and soft skills development programmes for the youth to enhance

their employability. - Conduct Enterpreneurship Development Camps to nature enterpreneurial talents amoung

the local youth.

6.2 Budject for CSR activites
