Analysis of ambient air samples revealed that the Air quality is found well within

the prescribed limits of National Ambient Air Quality standards.

The main source of flue gaseous emission is flue gas emission from stack attached

to Boiler, Reactors and D. G. set. Process Gas emission is SO2 from stack attached

to Reactors.

Bio Coal / Coal (1.54 MT / day) will be used as fuel in steam boilers. HSD (1.8

Lit/Hr) will be used as fuel in the D.G set (10HP). Adequate stack height will be

provided for proper atmosphere dispersion of pollutant. The probable emitted

pollutants will be PM, SO2 & NO2. Multi Cyclone Separator will be provided as

APCM for the Steam Boiler. Therefore, the flue gas emission will also be well

within prescribed norms. Adequate height and inbuilt aquatic enclosure will be







provided for D. G. Set. Adequate stack height and Alkali Scrubber will be provided

for control of SO2 resulting from process reaction.

3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

Studies on Water Environment aspects of ecosystem is important for Environmental

Impact Assessment to identify sensitive issues and take appropriate action by

maintaining ‘ecological homeostasis’ in the early stages of development of the project.

The objective of this report is to define the present environment in which the proposed

action is to occur, to evaluate all possible eventualities, to ensure that all negative

impacts are minimized, and to demonstrate that proposed project has been

appropriately announced to all interested parties so that their concerns can be

considered.

Water quality studies have been carried out in the study area to understand the

availability of water resources, possibility of water contamination and existing water

quality.

Analysis of ground water samples revealed that the pH of the ground water

samples varying from 7.33 to 8.22 which is within acceptable limit. Key water quality

parameters such as Colour, Turbidity, TDS, Chloride, Sulphates, Total Hardness, Calcium,

Magnesium, Boron, Nitrate, Fluoride, & Fecal Coliforms are found to be well within the

permissible limits. However, Odour is disagrreable at Vachhakpar loation whereas total

coliform found higher than the acceptable/permissible limit at all sampling locations.

Hence, ground water is suitable for domestic activity after giving adequate treatment.

Analysis of surface water samples revealed that the pH of the surface water samples

varying from 7.12 to 8.74 which is not within the acceptable limit at Jainagar Pond and

Harbatiyali Pond. Colour, TDS, Chlorides, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Boron,

Nitrate, Fluoride, Fecal Coliforms are found to be well within permissible limits.

However, Odour is disagreeable at Dhroliya Pond, Vacchakpar Pond and Mitana Dam

whereas total coliform found higher than the acceptable/permissible limit at all the

sampling locations. Hence, surface water is suitable for domestic activity after giving

adequate treatment.

Water Requirement

Total fresh water requirement for the proposed project will be 20.78 kl/day

which will be fulfilled by bore-well. For domestic activities 2.8 kl/day, for

industrial activities 7.98 kl/day and for greenbelt development 10 kl/day water

will be required.







Wastewater Generation and its Disposal

Domestic Wastewater: About 2.2 kl/day domestic wastewater will be generated which will be disposed off through septic tank/soak pit system. About 1.85 kl/day industrial wastewater will be generated from Boiler Blow Down, Cooling Tower Washing and Scrubber. Washed water, Scrubber bleed liquor, Cooling & Boiler blow down will be collected in Collection cum Neutralization Tank. Effluent will be then taken to Nutch Filter/Filter Press for sludge separation. Separated dried sludge will be collected, stored and disposed of at approved TSDF site. Filtrate water from Nutch Filter/Filter press will be taken in the Evaporator. Thus, unit will maintain Zero Effluent Discharge.

4. LAND / SOIL ENVIRONMENT

During operation activity the air, water and solid pollution on soil causes direct /

indirect effect on soil.

As all necessary air pollution control steps will be provided and based on the

results of the dispersion model for the Ground Level Concentrations of various

pollutants (after commissioning of the proposed project) it can be concluded that

there will not be any adverse impact of air pollution on soil.

It may be noted that there will be no disposal of untreated effluent on land. So,

there will be no adverse effect on land / soil due to water.

All necessary control steps will be provided for handling, storage and disposal of

solid/hazardous waste generated from the plant. Thus, there will not be any

significant impact of solid/hazardous waste on the soil environment.

5. NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise level was recorded at eight locations within the study area to provide the

baseline data to describe the existing situations.

6. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

An assessment of socio-economic environment forms an integral part of an EIA

study. Socio-economic environment – demographic & related socio-economic data

was collected from District Census Handbook to assess socio-economic status of

the study area.

The proposed project will generate employment during construction & operation

phase. The indirect employment will be generated by way of transportation,

shopkeepers and other casual employment for many people.

Local people will be given preference wherever found suitable for all the jobs in

the plant. Economic status of the local people will improve due to the increased

business opportunities, thereby, making a positive impact. Educational, medical

and housing facilities in the study area will considerably improve.

Thus, the proposed project will have significant positive impact on the

employment pattern of the study area.

7. ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY

The study area was dominated by agriculture landscape.

Major crops in the study area are Kapas, Magphali, and Ambo. Several vegetable

crops like Bhindi (Okra), Marchi (Chili) and Karela (Bitter melon), tamaratr (Tomatoes),

Bengan (Bringle) are also cultivated in and around the project sites, and mainly with

irrigation facilities.

Many Terrestrial and Aquatic bird species were spotted in this area whose

Common English Names are Indian Peafowl, Comb Duck, Common Hoopoe, Indian

Roller, Common Kingfisher, White-throated Kingfisher, Lesser Pied Kingfisher,

Green Bee-eater, Asian Koel, Greater Coucal, Rose-ringed Parakeet, House(Little)

Swift, Spotted Owlet, Rock Pigeon, Red-collared Dove, Common Moorhen,







Common Coot, Common Sandpiper, Red-wattled Lapwing, Common Kestral, Little

Cormorant, Grey Heron, Cattle Egret, Black-headed Ibis, Black Ibis, House Crow,

Black Drongo, Indian Robin, Bank Myna, Common Myna, Red-rump Swallow, Red-

vented Bulbul, Large Grey Babbler, Crested Lark, Purple Sunbird and House

Sparrow.

The reptiles and amphibian spotted in this area are Skittering Frog (Dedako),

Spotted Indian House Gecko (Garodi), Indian Garden Lizard (Kachindo), Fan-

Throated Lizard (Kachindi), Eastern Red Sand Boa (Dhomalo), Indian Rat Snake

(Nag), Indian Mud or Flap-shell Turtle (Kachbo).

The wild mammals found other than domesticated ones from study area were

Nilgai, Golden Jackal, Grey Mongoose, Striped Hyena, Indian Porcupine and Wild

Boar.

Total 15 plant species, 7 herpetofauna, 38 birds and 6 species of mammals were

reported from the buffer zone of M/s. Aaradhya Industries in this study. However,

no threatened biodiversity was reported with high density or richness from the

core and buffer zones of the study area. In addition, no true multi species forest

type was recorded in the vicinity of the five kilometer radii of the project site.

There are no direct or indirect threats predicted due to production at project

location. The terrestrial ecosystem is considerably free from the project related

impacts as the project associated activities do not required any additional land.

8. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

ETP Sludge and MEE Salt will be disposed off at approved TSDF site. Used Oil will

be reused within premises as a lubricant or sold to registered recycler. Discarded

Plastic Bags/Drums will be sold to authorized vendor. Process Residue, Spent

Sulphuric Acid will be sale to actual end users.

Unit will provide storage area for hazardous wastes having asbestos roof, RCC

flooring with leachate collection system. Leachate, if any will be collected and

treated in effluent treatment plant. Unit will take membership of TSDF site after

commencement of proposed project.

Thus, hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will be adequate

and there will not be any major impact on the environment due to hazardous

waste.

9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

An Environmental Management Plan has been prepared for mitigation of the

adverse impacts.







The Environmental Management Plan describes in brief, the management’s plan

for proper and adequate implementation of treatment and control system for

pollutants and for maintaining the environment. It also includes development of

green belt, proper safety of workers, environmental monitoring plan, rain water

harvesting, fire protection system and measures etc.

An Environmental Management Cell will be formed for effective implementation of

Environmental Management Plan.

10. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAME

Monitoring of environmental factors will enable us to identify the changes in the

environmental status at various locations and effectiveness of the Mitigative

measures. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP, monitoring of

ambient air quality, stack emissions, analysis & monitoring of water environment

and noise level will be carried out as required / specified by statutory authority.

11. RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk analysis and study have been carried out for identification of hazards,

selection of maximum credible scenarios, risk mitigation measures etc. All the

hazardous chemicals will be stored and handled as per MSDS guidelines. Personal

protective equipments will be provided to the workers.

12. OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH AND SAFETY

Based on risk assessment study, preventive measures are identified to ensure

good health and safety of workers. Such measures include: Provision of PPEs like

ear plug, ear muff etc. where noise levels in excess then 80 dB (A); Regular medical

check-up of workers; Provision of basic infrastructure i.e. drinking water,

sanitation, first aid etc. to workers. Use of proper PPE’s during plant operation,

hazardous waste handling, chemical handling etc.

13. GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

Total land area of 4656 m2 (46 % of total land) will be allotted for greenbelt

development. This will contains common tree species found in study area which is

tolerant to pollutants as well as acts as noise absorbers. This will not only mitigate

the ecological problem but also enhance the beauty of project area that will attract

avifauna, small mammals & insect species, and by this way ecological balance can

be maintained to great extent.







14. PROJECT BENEFITS

The proposed project will become beneficial to the surrounding area or

community in terms of infrastructural development, social development,

employment and other tangible benefits.

The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semi-skilled and

unskilled employees during construction phase as well as operation phase. A total

25 nos. of person are likely to get employment due to the proposed project. The

project will earmark 2.0 % of total capital investment for socio-economic

development activities in surrounding villages.

15. CONCLUSION

Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air

pollution control measures will be provided.

No ecological damage will occur.

No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.

Local employment opportunities will increase.

Various other environment parameters like Forest/ National Park/ Sanctuary

and Religious / Historical Places will not be affected.

Environment Management Plan has been formulated to control all the

pollutant parameters and Environment Management Cell has been set-up to

ensure that these parameters do not exceed the norms set out by the

concerned authorities.

After commissioning of the proposed project the Environmental Management

Cell will take care of all the pollution control measures.

It can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the

mitigation measures and environmental management plan during the construction

& operational phase, there will be negligible impact on the environment.

1.3.3 Need of the Project and its Importance to the Country

The Indian dyestuff industry plays a vital role in the economic development of the country. It is one of the core chemical industries in India. It is also the second highest export segment in the chemical industry. Maharashtra and Gujarat account for 90% of dyestuff production in India due to the availability of raw materials and dominance of textile industry in these regions. The major users of dyes in India are textiles, paper, plastics, printing ink and foodstuff industries. The textiles sector consumes around 80% of the total production due to high demand for polyester and cotton, globally. Rise in end- use industries such as furniture, building & construction, etc., coupled with soaring demand from emerging economies such as China, Japan, etc., is anticipated to drive the melamine formaldehyde and Urea formaldehyde market globally. Also, this growth is largely fuelled by the increasing applications, technological advancements, and growing demand in the Asia-Pacific region. Key end user markets for melamine formaldehyde and Urea formaldehyde vary from construction to packaging and labelling, woodworking, transportation, footwear, and automotive industry. These major end user

CHAPTER - 3

DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

3.1 Introduction

Preparation of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) needs a datum on which the evaluation

can be done. It is necessary to collect data about different environmental components like air,

noise, water, land, flora and fauna and socio-economic factors that are being affected by the

operation of any project activity, which, in turn, defines an existing environmental quality to serve

as the datum.

Baseline data requirement is also necessary to identify environmentally significant issues as well

as to enumerate the critical environmental change that is likely to occur due to the project activity.

Here an attempt has been made to collect the information about an existing environment on the

below mentioned six major environmental attributes:

Air Environment

Water Environment

Noise Environment

Land & Soil Environment

Biologcal Environment

Socio – Economic Environment

An effective methodology is important for baseline data collection and impact prediction to

develop an efficient environment management plan. In this regard, it is important to understand

the ground realities of the site and surrounding by the experts involved in preparation of EIA.

Accordingly, a team of experts visited the proposed site to understand the site surrounding and

possible impacts from the activities of the proposed project. The EIA coordinators in consultation

with the respective functional area experts selected the sampling locations as per the TORs

prescribed by the EAC, New Delhi.

Subsequently, the field monitoring was undertaken during October -2018 to December, 2018 by

the T. R. Associates Laboratory. The collected data were analysed and interpreted.

3.2 Air Environment

Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere have significant impacts on the

neighborhood air environment of an industrial project and forms an important part of impact

assessment studies. The ambient air quality status with respect to the study area of 10 km radius

from the plant site will form the baseline information over which the predicted impacts due to the

proposed plant can be super imposed to find out the net (final) impacts on air environment. From

the final impacts a viable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be prepared based on the

impact statement for the air environment. The baseline status of the ambient air quality can be







3.2

assessed thorough scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of

monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has to be based on the following

considerations.

Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale.

Topography of the study area.

Representation of regional background levels.

Representation of plant site.

Representation of cross sectional distribution in the downwind direction.

Influence of the existing sources if any, are to be kept at minimum.

Inclusion of major distinct villages to collect the baseline status.

3.2.1 Micrometeorological Data

Micro-meteorological data within the project area during the air quality monitoring period is an

indispensable part of air pollution study. The meteorological data recorded during monitoring

period is very useful for proper interpretation of the baseline information as well as serves as an

input, to predictive models for air quality impacts.

To understand meteorological scenario primary and secondary data are collected. This data is

used in the interpretation of wind scenario. The data collected from the both sources are

summarized as follows:

Table 3.1: Period of Meteorological Data Collection

Meteorological

Data

Primary data (October-2018 to December 2018): Parameters like Wind

Speed, Wind Direction, Temperature, Humidity and Precipitation collected

for project site using Automatic Weather Station.

Secondary data (Entire Year): Secondary data has been collected from the

nearest IMD source (Morbi) for Temperature, Humidity, Rainfall, and Wind

Speed.

3.2.1.1 Meteorological Data from Secondary Sources

The climate of the Morbi district is characterised by hot summer and general dryness except

during the southwest monsoon seasons. The year can be divided into four seasons. The period

from March to May is the hot season (summer) followed by southwest monsoon from June to

September, October and November constitute the post-monsoon or retreating monsoon season.

The cold season (winter) starts from December and ends in February.

The mean maximum temperature ranges between 28.4 °C during January to 40.5°C during May

and the mean minimum temperatures vary between 12.8 °C during January and 26.5 °C during

June. The relative humidity varies between 21 % (March/April) and 89 % (August). The mean

wind speed varies from 7.2 kmph (November) and 20.8 kmph (May). Long-term average annual

rainfall recorded by IMD station at Rajkot is 676.1 mm. Most of the rainfall (about 642.2 mm) is

The wind rose diagram obtained from meteoblue organization for the entire year based on 30

years of hourly historical weather data for Morbi location is presented in Figure 3.1. Based on the

stated wind rose diagram it can be interpretated that predominant downwind direction of the

study area lies between North North East (NNE) to East (E).

3.2.1.2 Primary Meteorological Data (Duration: October 2018 - December, 2018)

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

Micrometeorological conditions at the project site regulate the dispersion and dilution of air

pollutants in the atmosphere. For this purpose, a weather station was installed near the project

site for the period October 2018 to December, 2018 and recorded hourly observations for

the parameters like Temperature, Relative Humidity, Wind Speed, Wind Direction and Rainfall.

Meteorological conditions, of the site, regulates the transport and diffusion of air-pollutants

released into the atmosphere. Ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction and

atmospheric stability are called primary or basic meteorological parameters because the

dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these Parameters. Humidity,

precipitation, pressure and visibility are secondary meteorological parameters as this control

the dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by affecting primary parameters.

Primary meteorological data are shown in Annexure - 3. Based on the stated wind rose

diagram it can be interpretated that seasonal downwind direction of the study area lies

between North North East (NNE) to East (E).

3.2.3 Air Quality Index:

3.2.3.1 Objective of Air Quality Index:

Air Quality index is an effective tool to know overall status of air ambient air quality in baseline monitoring area and its impact on health of public. Air Quality Index (AQI) is one such tool for effective dissemination of air quality information to people As per CPCB guideline, there are six

AQI categories, namely Good, Satisfactory, Moderately polluted, Poor, Very Poor, and Severe. The overall objective of the project can be stated as under:

“To adopt/develop an Air Quality Index (AQI) based on national air quality standards, health impacts and monitoring programme which represent perceivable air quality for general public in easy to understand terms and assist in data interpretation and decision making processes related to pollution mitigation measures.”

The AQI values and corresponding ambient concentrations (health breakpoints) as well as associated likely health impacts for the identified eight pollutants are as follows:

3.3 Noise Environment

Noise word come from the Latin word ‘nauseas’, is a loud outcry or commotion that is unpleasant,

unexpected, or undesired with various frequencies over the audible range due to the regular

activities of the mankind primarily noise pollution (or environmental noise) is displeasing human,

animal or machine-created sound that disrupts the activity or balance of humans or animals life.

The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly evolved from industries, constructions and

transportation systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise and rail noise, poor urban

planning may give rise to noise pollution.

Industrial noise resulting to noise pollution has many reasons such as industries being close to

human habitats which prevent the noise from decaying before it reaches human ear.

A determination is made of the micro scale impact by predicting anticipated noise levels for each

alternative during both construction and operational phases. Predicted noise levels are compared

with applicable standards or criteria in order to assess the impact.







3.13

The physical description of sound concerns its loudness as a function of frequency. Noise in

general sound which comprises of many frequency components with different variations in

loudness over the audible frequency range.

Various noise scales have been introduced to describe, a single number, the response of an

average human to a complex sound made up of various frequencies at different loud levels, the

response of the human ear to sound is dependent on the frequency of the sound and this has led to

the concept of weighting scales. In the "A-weighting" scale, the sound pressure levels for the lower

frequencies and higher frequencies are reduced by certain amounts before they are being

combined together to give one single sound pressure level value. This value is designated as dB

(A). The dB (A) is often used as it reflects more accurately the frequency response of the human

ear. A perceived loud noise has a high dB or dB (A) value and a soft noise has a low one. The

human ear has peak response around 2,500 to 3,000 Hz and has a relatively low response at low

frequencies.

3.3.1 Existing Noise Levels

Pre-project noise levels have been monitored at different points within the study zone and on the

spot measurement device manufactured by LUTRON SL 4033-SD was used for this purpose.

Keeping in view of various local activities such as residential and industrial activities 8 noise level

measurement locations were identified and the sites are depicted in the Figure 3.6 & Table 3.8.

3.3.2 Baseline Status of Ambient Noise Quality

The minimum noise level measured in the study area was 40.6 dB (A) in day time and 34.2 dB (A)

in night time. The maximum noise level measured in the study area was 66.6 dB (A) in daytime

and 59.2 dB (A) in night time. The noise levels (Leq) of the residential area within the impact zone

varied from 49.2 – 52.1 dB (A) in the daytime and 38.5 – 41.4 dB (A) in the night time. Based on

the noise monitoring results it can be concluded that in day time as well as night time, the noise

level are within the permissible limit at all the sampling locations.

3.4 Water Environment

Studies on Water Environment aspects of ecosystem is important for Environmental Impact

Assessment to identify sensitive issues and take appropriate action by maintaining ‘ecological

homeostasis’ in the early stages of development of the project. The objective of this report is to

define the present environment in which the proposed action is to occur, to evaluate all possible

eventualities, to ensure that all negative impacts are minimized, and to demonstrate that proposed

project has been appropriately announced to all interested parties so that their concerns can be

considered.

Water quality studies have been carried out in the study area to understand the availability of

water resources, possibility of water contamination and existing water quality.

3.4.1 Water Quality

Water of high quality is essential to human life, and water of acceptable quality is essential for

agricultural, industrial, domestic and commercial uses; in addition, most recreation is water

based; therefore, major activities having potential effects on surface water are certain to be of

appreciable concern to the consumers.

3.4.1.1 Sample Collection and Analysis

The water resources in the study area may be classified into two major categories i.e. Surface and

Ground water sources

Water samples were collected at 16 locations, out of which 8 samples were selected from surface

sources and 8 samples selected from ground water sources for physico-chemical and biological

parameters. Parameters like pH, Temperature and DO analysed at the time of sampling at the site

itself. For other Parameter analysis the samples were preserved as per the recommended

techniques for various Elemental determinations as per `IS: 3025 (part I) 1987’. These parameters

were analyzed as per the procedures specified in ‘Standard Methods for Examination of Water and

Wastewater’ Published by American Public Health Association (APHA) / IS 3025. Ground water &

Surface water samples results were compared with IS: 10500 specifications.







3.17

Method of Water Sampling

The following procedures were followed while sampling:

Washing the bottles/cans with distilled water prior to the sampling

Before collection of water the bottles/cans are again washed 2-3 times with the same water.

For surface water, bottles were lowered to a minimum depth of 30 cm below water surface.

At each point different sets of water samples were collected so as cover all the parameters.

Proper attention is taken in proper numbering at the site.

Sterilized bottles were used for the samples that are to be analyzed for bacteria.

Civil supply water pipeline taps are sterilized before collection for bacteriological analysis

Parameters like pH, conductivity and temperature were analyzed in the field conditions and

the results were reconfirmed after getting to the laboratory. DO is fixed in the field itself.

Appropriate preservatives are added, depending upon the elements to be analyzed and

marked accordingly (IS: 3025 (part I) 1987)

All the water samples collected in the ice box, were immediately transported to the

laboratory and freezed at < 5oC for analysis

Field observations were noted in the field notebook

As far as possible photographs were taken in almost all sampling points. Sampling &

analysis of all the parameters are as per APHA, 22nd Edition & IS: 3025.

3.4.1.2 Baseline Status of Ground Water

The pH of the ground water samples varying from 7.33 to 8.22 which is within acceptable limit. Key water quality parameters such as

Colour, Turbidity, TDS, Chloride, Sulphates, Total Hardness, Calcium, Magnesium, Boron, Nitrate, Fluoride, & Fecal Coliforms are found to

be well within the permissible limits. However, Odour is disagrreable at Vachhakpar loation whereas total coliform found higher than

the acceptable/permissible limit at all sampling locations. Hence, ground water is suitable for domestic activity after giving adequate

treatment.

3.4.1.3 Water Quality Index Based On Weighted Arithmetic Index :

Water Quality Index (WQI) is a good tool for interpretation of water quality. An index is a mean device to reduce a large quantity of data down to a simple form. For computing Water Quality Index of ground water, we follow formula proposed by Ramakrishnaiah et al. The computed WQI values are classified in to five type, excellent to Water unsuitable for drinking as per under

WQI Value Water Quality <50 Excellent 50-100 Good Water 100-200 Poor Water 200-300 Very Poor Water >300 Water unsuitable for drinking

Ref : Ramakrishaiah et al.2009

During baseline monitoring, ground water samples were collected from 8 locations and were analyzed for various parameters as stated in Table No Table 3.11: Data are analysided in Table No: A and B.

Interpretation: It seems that Ground water quality is good except village Dhroliya. It is advisable to use ground water of Dhroliya after appropriate treatment.

3.4.1.4 Baseline Status of Surface Water

The pH of the surface water samples varying from 7.12 to 8.74 which is not within the acceptable

limit at Jainagar Pond and Harbatiyali Pond. Colour, TDS, Chlorides, Total Hardness, Calcium,

Magnesium, Boron, Nitrate, Fluoride, Fecal Coliforms are found to be well within permissible

limits. However, Odour is disagrreable at Dhroliya Pond, Vacchakpar Pond and Mitana Dam

whereas total coliform found higher than the acceptable/permissible limit at all the sampling

locations. Hence, surface water is suitable for domestic activity after giving adequate treatment.

3.5 Soil Environment

Natural soils are the product of physical and chemical weathering of rocks. The physical

properties are formed during the course of formation and the subsequent existence is depending

upon the topography, hydro meteorological condition and human interference. Soil characteristics

of a terrain are more important aspects since they play a major role in ground water recharge and

meet the basic needs of all agricultural production.

3.5.1 Soil Type

In the northern most part of the district comprising Malia taluka, the soils are sandy, loamy sand,

clayey and silty type. They are moderately deep (25 to 75 cm). The colour of the soils is dark

yellowish brown to very dark greyish brown. These soils are mostly saline with EC more than 4.0

mmhos/cm and cation exchange capacity of 20 to 40 me/10 gm of soil.

3.5.2 Methodology of Sample Collection and Analysis

For soil quality analysis 8 sampling sites were chosen to understand physico-chemical and

biological status of the soil. Sampling sites selected for sample collection are marked in Figure

3.12 and photographs showing soil sampling is shown in Figure 3.13. This will establish the

baseline characteristics and will facilitate identifying the contamination if any due to the proposed

project.

Collection of soil samples and analysis

Disturbed soil samples were collected with the help of the rotary cuttings and bailers and also

from split spoon samplers. Un-disturbed tube samples were collected using thin walled tubes. Soil

samples were collected such that structure and moisture content of the soil do not get altered. In

accordance with IS: 2720, split samples were carefully extracted from the samplers. Meticulous was paid to collect adequate amount of composite soil samples for analysis. The

samples were packed in dependable, waterproof containers and marking specified accurately and

distinctly. All the soil samples and core boxes were carefully transported to the testing laboratory.

Soil sampling and analysis has been done as per the Indian Standard IS – 2720.

Geology:-

Geologically the area around Pipli village of Morvi Taluka is occupied by alluvium

formation and Basalt rock formation. The thickness of alluvium in the area is about 06 to

10 mts (APS-2 Alluvium Plain Shallow). Alluvium occurring in out fall areas of Machchhu







3.33

Rivers forms a prolific aquifer where ground water occurs under phreatic to semi confined

conditions.

Alluvium underground basalt from the aquifer more suitable for Borewell. The quality of

Ground water is Brackish at all depth in the Alluvium and under line Basalt, hence further

ground water development is not suggested. In around village is Hari par, Gala, Mansar,

Ground water is Saline or Brackish

A lineament is an interesting structure in basalt rock formation for ground water

movement, stoppage and storage. Basalts are generally formed by cooling of lave flows and

the rock itself can be identified by its dark tone. During cooling of lave and formation of a

rock, joints develop. Joints have strike, dip and spacing, some joints structurally, disturbed

and they develop fractures. Such fractures and closely spaced joints has a linear extension.

So they can be seen on imagery as a line. Adyke is an intrusion in the country rock giving a

distinct linear effect on the surface they obstruct the normal ground water flow and surface

water movement. Weathered and fractures dykes are more productive as well as

recharging purpose. Fracture zones forming the course of existing drainage are more

productive as well as recharging purpose. Deccan traps basalts is exposed of upper

cretaceous to lower Eocene age.

Land / Soil Characteristic :-

The soils are generally developed from Alluvium and basalt formation and are coarse in

texture with satisfactory internal drainage. The sub soil condition below the existing

ground level are almost uniform in nature. Sub soil is composed of Clay mixed with little

fine grained silty sand, moram and Kankar with low resistivity due to clay and soil

moisture. The area is covered with recent to sub recent alluvial deposits comprising of

brownish clay mixed with little fine grained sand, silty sand. The Soil below ground level

consists of top silty low plastic soil layer having no swelling nature. Blackish brown to

yellowish brown clayey silt or sand silt layer extends to the depth of 2 to 3 mts.

Rain Water Harvesting :-

Rainwater Harvesting is generally putting back rainwater in to the under ground

formation, where it will be stored in under ground reservoirs (Aquifer) so that we can

draw it whenever we need it.

“NEED”

1. To reduce ground water pollution.







3.39

2. To augment the ground water storage and decline of Water Level

3. To improve the quality of ground water.

4. To reduce the soil erosion.

5. To avoid flooding of rouds.

The harvested rain water can be used for flushing, washing, gardening, irrigation, fire

fighting and even consumption with necessary treatment, Rain water is the purest form for

water available to us.

Components:-

Catchment

Collection system

Filtration unit

Storage system

Technology:-

Storage in artificial above or under ground tanks.

Recharging aquifer directly through tube wells with necessary

treatment.

Recharging aquifer by percolation / Soakage in the ground.

Aquifers best suited for artificial recharge are those that absorb large quantities of water

and do not release them too quickly.

Theoretically this means that the vertical hydraulic conductivity is high while the

horizontal hydraulic conductivity is moderate. Most of the artificial recharge areas are

located in the alluvial plains because of many favourable conditions like availability of

infiltration waters and transmissivity of the aquifers.

Method of Recharge :-

The village Dhroliya Tal & Dist. Morvi falls under Portable zone. The area is composed of

thin layer of alluvial and underlying Deccan Traps Basalt formation as a aquifer. The quality

of ground water is brackish at all depth both in alluvium and underlying Basalt Formation

hence further Ground Water development is not suggested. As area is saline, no ground

water recharge activity in this area. Only rain water collected from roof top area of the

project site and store in sump in project site to use it whenever need in domestic and

industrial use as well as green belt development activity.

Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting (R T R W H )







3.40

Introduction:-

In arid and semiarid areas rain water forms the only source of domestic water supply. This is an ideal solution to water problem where there is no ground water (Saline ground water) and surface sources are very far. This is ideally suited from the economical point of view. Rain water is bacteriological pure, free from, organic water and soft in nature. To meet drinking water demand during the critical dry period of 90-120 days roof top water harvesting is very useful. Ground water recharge or storage from house of 100 Sq. m of roof top will be 55000 lits in one year, sufficient for a period of four months for a family of five members. In roof top rain water harvesting the rain water is collected from roof of the buildings and stored in water tank or ground water reservoir for beneficial use in future. The size of the catchment area and tank should be enough to supply sufficient water for the users during this period.

Volume:- Volume of tank can be calculated by the following formula.

V= (t x n x a ) tat where V= Volume of tank (litters) T= Length of the dry season (days) N= Number of people using the tank A= Consumption per capita per days (litters) ET= Evaporation loss during the dry period

Since evaporation from a closed storage tank is negligible the evaporation loss (et) can be ignored (=Zero)

Need for R T R W H :- (Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting)

To meet ever increasing demand for water in urban areas.

To reduce the runoff which is chocking the storm drains

To avoid the flooding of roads

To augment the ground water storage and control decline of water levels

To reduce the ground water pollution

To improve the quality of ground water

To reduce the soil erosion

Rain water may be harnessed at place of need and may be utilized at time of

need

The structures required for harvesting the rain water are simple, economical

and eco-friendly







3.41

Essential Components of the system

Roof Catchment

Gutters for collection of roof water

Down pipe to convey rain water from gutter to storage tank

“Foul Flush” to divert the contaminated run-off from roof (for initial wash out

before taking to storage tank

Filter/Mesh

Storage tank under ground

Water withdrawal arrangement (Hand Pump)

Dis-infection arrangement

Design Consideration:-

In the design system, the main criteria is the most economical combination of the storage tank volume, systematic analysis of rainfall records and construction costs.

Selection of Site:-

o Site should be close to the house to reduce the cost of down pipe

o Site should have good drainage and should be away from the cattle shed and soak

pits etc. for cleanliness and hygiene surrounding the tank

o Site should be away from tress to prevent litters falling on the roof and structural

disturbance to the tank by roof propagation

o Site should be easily accessible for tapping water

Tips for Maintenance of the R R H S:-

o Always keep the surroundings of the tank clean and hygienic

o Remove Algae from the roof tiles and asbestos sheets before the monsoon

o Drain the tank completely and clean from inside thoroughly before the monsoon

o Clean the water channels (Gutters) often during rainy season and definitely before

the first monsoon rain

o Avoid first 15 or 20 minutes of rain fall depending on the intensity of rain. Use the

first flush arrangement to drain off this first rain water

o Change the filter media every rainy season

o In coastal area the tank may be painted outside by corrosion resistant paint once in

3 years and in other areas lime (Calcium Carbonate) based white wash may be

applied not only for beauty but also for cleanliness







3.42

o Withdraw water from the system at the rate of 5 lits/head/day. This will ensure

availability of water throughout the water scarcity period.

o Cover all inlet and outlet pipes with closely knife nylon net or fine cloth or cap

during non-rainy season to avoid entry of insects, worms and mosquitoes.

o The substances that go into the making of the roof should be non-toxic in nature

Recharge Pit in Pond:-

Recharge by recharge pit is the only method for artificial recharge of unconfined

aquifer or Phreatic aquifers. The recharge is instantaneous and there are no transit

losses and evaporation losses. Artificial recharge is an important aspect of ground

water management as it provides storage space free of cost, during dry period. The

underground reservoirs can be used for indefinite period, if properly operated, and

quality of Phreatic aquifer will be improved.

It is a common observation that phreatic aquifers are not always hydraulically in

connection with the surface water. For effective recharge of rain water to the shallow

aquifer the less permeable horizons have to be penetrated so that the aquifer to be

recharged is made directly accessible. Recharge pits are structures which overcome

the difficulty of artificial recharge of phreatic aquifer from surface water source i.e.

Farm pond. Recharge pits are excavated of variable dimensions that are sufficient by

deep to penetrate less permeable strata. In many pits most of the infiltration occurs

laterally through that wall of the pit. The lateral hydraulic conductivity is considerable

larger than the vertical, non silty water should be recharged whenever possible so as

to minimize silt accumulation and periodic removal costs. Attention to the geometry of

recharge pit is important in order to obtain the maximum infiltration rate. The small

pits may be either used as small ponds or back/filled by gravel-sand filter material

over a thick layer o cobble-boulder in the lower portion of the pit.







3.45

The bottom area of open pit may require periodic cleaning by manual methods as

mechanical equipment cannot be deployed. The top sand filter bed of filter packed pit

also requires periodical replacement.

Design of Recharge pit in pond

Size 3m dia X 3m depth

Filter media as under

1m depth coarse sand in top the pit

1m depth gravel in middle of the pit

1m depth boulder in bottom of the pit

Expected recharge 7000 lit/hr. hence 10080 m3 water/year

Runoff Calculation :-

The Project area at Dhroliya Taluka Tankara , Dist. Morvi is 10117 M2. The dependable

Rainfall of the project area is 660 mm i.e. 0.66 m.

Available Rain water for area 10117 m2 is 2810 m3 water.Hence 10780 lits/day can

recharge/day i.e. 6234. In morvi district average 30 days for rains in a year. Hence one

recharge Pit can recharge 10780 lit/day x 30 days = 2810 m3 water per year can recharge

by One recharge Pit. Therefore the consumption of 2810 m3 water for the project area can

be recharged by one recharge Pit with farm pond of 500 m3 capacity for daily

requirement of Pit recharge because of available rain water for the project area is 2810

m3 water. Hence remaining water 3424 are to be recharge in outside of project area or

Government Talav area with recharge pit as discussed in above.

CGWA:- Central Ground Water Authority:-

As per guideline/ criteria for evolution of proposals for ground water abstraction.

Non-Notified Area:-

Category:- Safe.

Mandatory, major and medium industries to recycle and reuse atleast 40% of the

waste water.

the process and gardening area.

NOC is required for ground water withdrawal subject to adoption of artificial

recharge to ground water. The recharge should be implemented with in the

premises/ same water shed / assessment unit. details project proposal should be

included along with the application for NOC.

3.7 Land Use Status

Introduction

The land-use & land cover map of the 10 km radius study area from the project site has been

prepared using Sentinel Satellite image procured from NRSC (National Remote Sensing Centre),

Hyderabad. Land use pattern of the study area as well as the catchment area was carried out by

standard methods of analysis of remotely sensed data and followed by ground truth collection

(Benchmark) and interpretation of satellite data. The outcome of land use study has been

presented below in subsequent table and figures. The data was processed through Q-GIS Software

tools available with ESRI Package. The land use map of the 10 km study area is presented in

Figure 3.15.

Land Use & Land Cover Classification Results

Land Cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth (it include grass, asphalt, trees, bare

ground, water, etc.) whereas Land use is the human use of land.

Land Use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into

built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements. It has also been defined as "the

arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce,

change or maintain it".

There is no one ideal classification of land use and land cover, and it is unlikely that one could ever

be developed. There are different perspectives in the classification process, and the process itself

tends to be subjective, even when an objective numerical approach is used.

Concepts concerning land cover and land use activity are closely related and in many cases have

been used interchangeably. The purposes for which lands are being used commonly have

associated types of cover, whether they are forest, agricultural, residential, or industrial.

The present Land use / Land cover map for the proposed project activity is prepared by current

vintage of satellite image. This report thus will enable assessing the impact on land use pattern in

the study area due to the proposed project activity.

(A) Data Used

Current vintage data of Indian Remote Sensing satellite sentinel image FCC (False Color

Composite) has been used for preparation of Land use/ Land cover thematic map of study

area. Survey of India toposheet as a reference map on 1:50,000 scale has been used for

preparation of base layer data like road, rail network, village and mine site and for geo

referencing of satellite image.

Technical Details

Satellite Image - Sentinel Satellite image.

Satellite Data Source - NRSC, Hyderabad

Software Used - Earth Resources Data Analysis System (ERDAS) Imagine and Q-Gis.

(B) Methodology

Land use / Land cover map preparation, Base map creation; Geometric and Radiometric

correction of satellite image has been processed using ERDAS Imagine Software.

Salient features of the adopted methodology are given below:

Acquisition of satellite data.

Preparation of base map from Survey of India toposheets.

Data analysis using visual interpretation techniques.

Ground truth studies or field checks.

Finalization of the map.

Digitization using heads up vectorisation method.

Area calculation for statistics generation.

(C) Interpretation of Remote Sensing Data

Satellite images are composed of array of grid, each grid has a numeric value that is known as

digital number. Smallest unit of this grid is known as a pixel that captures reflectance of ground

features represented in terms of Digital number, each representing specific land features. Using

image classification technique, the satellite data is converted into thematic information, map

based on the user’s knowledge about the ground area. Hybrid technique has been used i.e. visual

interpretation and digital image processing for identification of different land use and vegetation

cover classes based on spectral signature of geographic feature.

Spectral signature represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keys are developed

based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow etc, which

enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature. Training sites are then assigned

based on their spectral signature & interpretation elements. Using image classification algorithm

land use map is generated.

A total of seven land use/land cover classes have been demarcated in the study area following Level I, II and III classification. A thematic map suitable for 1:25,000 scale map generation incorporating these classified categories has been prepared and considering that the area of the project is considerably small a large scale map is prepared. The area as a whole represents plain area with very gentle sloping to nearly level area & to the north of area flowing from south to north and it is also observed that the major stream (Machchhu) are linked with these two main drainage that debouche into the Littel Run of Kachchh. The total land area of scrub land covered 37.36sq km and 253.17sq km area covered under agriculture land as well as Agriculture







3.50

plantation 0.04sq km has developed mainly in the area adjacent to the rivers. Transportationas 0.07sq km.

The adjoining area of project site is totally agricultural land including Kharif, Rabi and Summer crop, constitute the dominant category of land use covering as much as 253.17sq km of the total area. Active river canal forming the perennial water body together with the numerous open & wastelands form a major and minor land cover category. Active River and its tributaries flowing into it cover about 11.60sq km of the total project area. Due to large seasonal variation in discharge of these rivers, the area coverage of this category various in space and time. The consistently shifting nature of the (canal name) and consequent bank migration has resulted in large uncultivated & rural settlement along the active plain area towards the site location. These areas (1.31sq km) are village pond and water body in the development area of the project site and are located within the uncultivated land areas significant distribution. The land use for settlement is mostly confined to the ‘rural and urban settlement’ (built up-rural) 5.48sq km and land without scrub feature 0.65sq km of the total area & as such there is no current fallow land because the satellite used is of March month when most of the crop is towards senence or maturity.

3.7.1 Topography

The topographic feature & drainage pattern of the study area has been studied from SRTM3, data

having resolution of 3 arc seconds. The toposheet have been analysed using QGIS application to

generate the contour line at interval of 10Kms considering one elevated area in the study region.

Further, the digital elevation data have been analysed to determine the slope & elevation profiles

of the each individual villages of the study area as well as whole study area to ascertain the

landform of the villages and study area.

It has been observed that the major area of study area is levelled plain to nearly level with small

slopes. Over all slope direction of the study area is noticed towards south to north. The maximum

elevation and higher slope is found near northern part of Dhroliya, Hamirpar, and Naknam village

where a medium height is situated. The generated streams indicated that the most of the area are

covered by two main stream ie (Bhangwadi & Demi-I River) flowing from East to North.

Topography of the area is characterized by dominating plain area with very gentle sloping to

nearly level area.

Digital Elevation Model

Digital Elevation Models are data files that contain the elevation of the terrain over a specified

area, usually at a fixed grid interval over the "Bare Earth". The intervals between each grid points

will always be referenced to some geographical coordinate system. This is usually either latitude-

longitude or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinate systems. The closer are together

the grid points, more detailed information will be in the file. The detail s of the peaks and valleys in

the terrain will be better modelled with small grid spacing than when the grid interval s are very

large. Elevations other than at the specific grid point locations are not contained in the file.

As a result peak points and valley points not coinciding with the gridwill not be recorded in the

file. For practical purpose this "Bare Earth" DEM is generally synonymous with a Digital Terrain

Model (DTM).

Data Used

DEM Data: Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data

Software Used: ERDAS Imagine & Q-GIS. .

Physiography and Drainage Pattern

The area of the project site is located in the Eastern part of Morbi District of Gujarat state.

Topography of the area is characterized by very gentle sloping area to level to nearly level. A

Seasonal river, i .e. (Bhangwadi & Demi-I River) drains through the study area and merges in Littel

Run of Kachchh.

3.8 Ecology & Biodiversity In order to understand the status of biodiversity (flora and fauna) in different habitats in and around

the Aaradhya Industries project area, the field work was carried out during October 2018.

3.8.1 Macro Level Approach- Secondary Data Collection

After first consultation with client we had discussed with our team and standerdised our

approach for each component of project including biodiversity and ecological status of project

and its environs sites.

We received all site specific information including maps, toposheets, project related

documents etc. from client. In addition, we had also discussed with local resource government

and non government organization and collected information on ecological status of project

sites.

Collection and collation of project related secondary information.

Rapid survey of the project area to identify existing major habitat types within it (Wilderness

area: in and around the riverine areas of Mitana Dam, Neknam Pond etc.; Agriculture:

Dhroliya, Neknam, etc., Wasteland: within study area and Wetlands, i.e., Village ponds,

reservoirs and riverine i.e. Mitana Dam and small rivulets).

3.8.2 Micro Level Approach- Field Data Collection

After various meeting with project authority and EIA consultant, we finalized our field-level

approach and methodology for collection of primary data on biodiversity components

including floristic and faunal survey.

This fileld approach involved mainly the survey-based primary data collection on various

biodiversity components of the project objectives.

The field data collection mainly included biodiversity assessment of different life forms of

floral species such as; trees, shrubs & climbers, herbs and grass. Faunal diversity was also

assessed by inventorying the major group like herpetofauna, birds and mammals.

For biodiversity assessment we followed standered methods for each component like for

plants survey, we laid a plots at various site specific habitat and paramulated method also

been employed to document each plant species with their phynological details if any and

other important details like collected medicinal value of selected plant species from local

villagers, associated habitat, local name etc.

While, for faunal species survey, we followed total count method for aquatic species

(Bhupathy 1991) and point counted survey (Bibby et al., 1992) employed to survey terrestrial

species.

In case of herpetofauna, method suggested by Welsh (1987) been employed and intensive

time constrained search been employed for each dominant habitat. Daniels (1992) and

Burnham et al., (1980) methods have been followed to search mammalian species through

direct count and indirect count, respectively.

In addition, published and un-published review on various faunal components and various

suggected site specific and species specific methods also been employed to document overall







3.57

status of fauna in and around the project sites.

The floral & faunal diversity varies with the season. The data was collected in one season however, in order to obtain the seasonal variations, the data published by the Forest Department, Govt. of Gujarat was collected.

3.8.2.1 Floral Status

Status of floral diversity was assessed in representative habitats of each type like; wastelands which include: open scrub forest and Prosopis Juliflora mixed thickets, semi-wilderness area, agricultural hedge, near human habitation, plantation, stream and river beds and wetlands (inland).

3.8.2.2 Faunal Status

Herpetofauna

Status of herpetofauna was assessed using Intensive Time Constrained Search Method covering different micro habitats (Welsh, 1987, Welsh and Lind 1991). This intensive search was made in different habitat types randomly selected. Birds

Avifaunal status was assessed both in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Total count or flock count method was adopted to assess the status of aquatic birds in the existing water bodies (Sridharan 1989 and Bhupathy 1991). Point count method was used to assess the status of terrestrial birds (Bibby et al., 1992 and Hutto et al., 1986). The second technique adopted was area search method (Dieni and Jones 2002), a time area constrained survey technique that has been widely and commonly used in several bird monitoring programs.

Mammals

Status and distribution of different mammal species was quantified using Direct count Vehicle transects (travelling between the sampling location) (Burnham et al. 1980) and indirect evidences within the survey areas (Rodgers 1988 and Sale and Berkmuller, 1988). Indirect evidences like, Pellet, dung, tracks (Thommpson et al 1989, Allen et al 1996), scat count (Henke and knowlton 1995) and other signs were enumerated using standered method for nocturnal species (Daniels 1992). Presence of different faunal species was also substantiated by interviewing the local people and experts with pictorial representation.

C. Status of Mammals

As discussed with local people, within buffer zone only six species of mammalian fauna was

reported and each belongs to separate family/group. None of the family reported more than

one species and showed low species richness (Table 3.23). Since the study area dominated

3.8.4 CONCLUSION AND RECOMMANDATIONS

The main environmental problems associated with developmental activities are deforestation, land degradation (change in topography, soil erosion), disturbance to hydrological system, water, air and noise pollution which ultimately impact upon the faunal and floral status and ecological systems of the project area. However, ccurrence and magnitude of these impacts are entirely depends on project location, mode of operation and technology involved. In general, impact prediction methods argue that the foremost step in impact appraisal must consider and identify project actions that are likely to bring significant changes in the project environment. The present study determined to predict the likely impacts of the present project in the surrounding environment with specific to biological attributes covering habitats/ecosystems and associated biodiversity. Likely impacts identified were categorized into different levels like, direct or primary and indirect or secondary impacts based on the influence of sources of impacts. In addition to it, certain project related activities can improve the surrounding environmental status in terms of improvement in infrastructural facility, natural resource, social and cultural development of the local community. These, changes can be identified as positive impacts of the proposed project. 1. This project not encompasses any designated forest land within it. Construction of site office

and workshop will take place well within project area without taking any additional land and also no new road are proposed to develop to transport raw materials. Therefore project activities will not have any impacts like: loss of true forest habitat, floral species composition and overall faunal diversity.







3.64

2. There is no any permanent and larger extent of natural water bodies (perennial rivers, streams and lakes) area present within the project area; and hence, impacts like loss of aquatic habitats, disturbance to the natural flow and associated aquatic biota was not envisaged. In addition, the water requirement for project operation/establishment will be met through the existing bore well and water for plantations is planned to use rain water stored in the rainwater harvesting tank. Hence, the proposed project does not depend on any natural water bodies to meet its water requirements and therefore no impact on wetland resources and natural water bodies and dependent faunal species are identified.

3. Heavy vehicle movements in and around the project area location expected to increase dust

concentration in the area and villages nearest to road. However, extensive greenbelt development along the village roads and other roads in and around the project area with site-specific plant species (Annexure 1) which can act as bio-filters to reduce the level of pollutant concentration and especially dust emission and noise control and also improve the overall ambient air quality.

3.9 Socio Economic Environment 3.9.1 Introduction

Any developmental activity will influence the socioeconomic conditions of the population in the

region and thus the Quality of Life (QOL). Socioeconomic survey is necessary in EIA/EMP report

preparation to predict the changes on social and economic status. Hence baseline data for

demographic characteristics, education, health, amenities and sensitive locations existing in and

around the project area have been studied in the study area. For the study of socioeconomics 10

km radius around the site is selected.

The study area is mostly agricultural land. The major language is Gujarati, Hindi and English with

an accumulation of different cultures like the Hindus, Muslims and the Christians. It is the centre

of Gujarati cultural activities and diverse traditions of different ethnic and religious communities

3.9.3 Households

A 'household' is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a common household. Each such person was to be treated as separate households. The important link is finding out whether it was a household or not was a common kitchen. There may be one member households, two member households or multi-member households.

There is nearly 8394House Holds (HH) found in the study area. The details of Households are given in Table 3.25.

3.9.4 Population

Village/ town wise population composition as per 2011 census is listed in Table 3.25. The total population of villages covered in 10 km radius is 43,047. The male & female population is 21,852 and 21,195 respectively.

The summarized data of population distribution is given in Table 3.25 and represented in Figure 3.21.

3.9.5 Occupational Structure

Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without

compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature.

Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work.

It even includes part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other

economic activity. All persons engaged in 'work' as defined above are workers. Persons who are

engaged in cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated

as workers. Occupational structure is divided in to 3 categories viz., Main workers, Marginal

workers and Non workers. The distribution data for workers and non workers is given in Table

3.26 and Figure 3.22.

Main workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e., 6

months or more) are termed as Main Workers. There are total 16986 main workers in this area.

Marginal workers: Those workers who have not worked for the major part of the reference

period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as marginal workers. The total marginal workers

are 3528.

Non workers: All workers, i.e., those who have been engaged in some economic activity during

the last one-year, but are not cultivators or agricultural laborers or in Household Industry, are

'Other-Workers (OW)'. The type of workers that come under this category of 'OW' include all

government servants, municipal employees, teachers, factory workers, plantation workers, those

engaged in trade, commerce, business, transport banking, mining, construction, political or social

work, priests, entertainment artists, etc. In effect, all those workers other than cultivators or

agricultural laborers or household industry workers are other workers. The total non workers

are 24434.

3.9.6 Literacy

A person aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding any language

has been taken as literate. It is not necessary for a person to have received any formal education

or passed any minimum educational standard for being treated as literate. People who were

blind and could read in Braille are treated to be literates. A person, who can only read but cannot

write, is treated as illiterate. All children of age 6 years or less, even if going to school and have

picked up reading and writing, are treated as illiterates. The total number of literates and

illiterates are 29060 and 16076 respectively (Table 3.27 and Figure 3.23)

3.9.8 Conclusion

The socio economic studies has been conducted in order to study the present Socio- Economic

conditions prevailing around the plant site for the establishment of an interactive environment

between the residents of the area with the proponent which would be helpful for the proponent

for the assessment of the required developments of the area.

This study was done by looking and maintaining a good understanding of that locality as well as

their socio-economic status which can help in the assessment of their Socio-Economic status,

costumes, and requirements for the development etc. Based on the study carried out it can be

interpreted that proposed project would contribute to improvement in the Quality Of Life (QOL) in

the region to some extent in following manner.

Industrial growth will improve economic status of the people either directly or indirectly.

Creation of employment generation is an another positive impact anticipated from this plant

The development of infrastructure (roads, lighting etc.) may not only helpful for

transportation but also to improve aesthetic value of the site.

The proposed green belt plan also generates some employment (labor for plantation

development) and provide hygienic environment.

Non-workers comprises of 54% of the total population in the study area. This intense

unemployment fate can be reduced to some extent.

3.10 Traffic Survey

Traffic counts are important to calculate the existing and proposed load on the existing road

due to upcoming Project.

Project site is to be located in Dhroliya Village. The road from village further connects to State

Highway No.-120. The industry will utilize the stated State Highway for transportation

purpose. Thus, traffic survey has been carried out on above stated highway. Studied route is

CHAPTER - 4

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

& MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 Preamble

The most important part of Environmental Impact Assessment Report is the prediction

of impacts. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict

impacts of project developmental activities on environment. Such predictions are

overlaid on the baseline status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate scenario

of environmental conditions. It helps to prepare the Environmental Management Plan

(EMP) which is required to be executed during the on-going activities for the proposed

project to minimize the adverse impacts on environmental quality.

The mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe the cause-effect

relationships between sources of pollution and different components of environment.

In case, mathematical models are not available or it is not possible to identify/validate a

model for a particular situation, predictions could be made through available scientific

knowledge and judgments. The environmental impacts can be categorized as either

Primary or Secondary or Tertiary. Primary impacts are those, which are linked directly

to the project, secondary and tertiary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced

and typically include the effects on social and economic patterns of the surrounding.

The proposed project would create impact on the environment in two distinct phases.

Temporary or short term effects caused during construction phase

Long term effects caused during operational phase

Environmental Impact Assessment Study for the proposed project includes:

Identification of all components of the project and prediction of impacts that may be caused by the proposed project

Classification of the probable impacts i.e. positive or negative, reversible or irreversible, short term or long term.

Evaluation of the impacts i.e. quantitative & qualitative assessment of the impacts

The construction and operational phase of the proposed project comprises of various

activities each of which may have an impact on some or other environmental

components, which have been studied to estimate the impact on the environment.

4.2 Prediction and Evaluation of Impacts

An impact can be defined as any change in Physical, Chemical, Biological, Cultural and

Socio-economic environment that can be attributed to activities related to alternatives

under study for meeting the project needs. Impact assessments provide an organized







approach for prediction and assessing these impacts. In most of cases, the prediction

consists of indicating merely whether there will be degradation, no change or

enhancement of environment quality. In other cases, quantitative ranking scales are to

be used.

Prediction requires scientific skill drawn from many disciplines. Prediction of ecological

components is often uncertain, because their response to environmental stress cannot

be predicted in absolute terms. Scientific techniques and methodologies based on

mathematical modeling are available for studying impacts of various project activities

on environmental parameters.

The impact of the proposed project on the environment has been considered based on

the information provided by the proponents and data collected from the study area

during study period. The environmental impacts have been categorized as long or short

term and negative or positive. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly

by the project on environmental components while secondary impacts are those, which

are indirectly induced. The operational phase of the proposed project comprises several

of which have been considered to assess the impact on one or another environmental

parameters.

The nature of the impacts due to said project activities are discussed in detail. Each

parameter identified is singularly considered for the anticipated impact due to various

project activities. The impact is quantified using numerical scores. In order to assess the

impact accurately, each parameter is discussed in detail covering project activities likely

to generate impact and quantification and prediction of impact.

A. Construction Phase

Generally construction phase involves activities like Site Cleaning, Excavation,

Construction, Installation of Plant Machinery, Raw Material Transportation and

Handling, Greenbelt Development and Labour Employment. Green belt development is

proposed to be taken up at the initial stage and hence it has been considered in this

phase.

Minor and temporary impacts are expected due to the construction activities. Generally,

Air, Noise level and Soil are likely to be affected by these activities. All the impacts of

construction phase will be short term only and it is very limited as minor construction

work is anticipated for requirement of project.

B. Operational Phase

Generally operation phase involves activities like Raw Material Storage & Handling &

Transportation, Production Activity, Product Storage, Handling & Transportation,

Gaseous Emission, Water Consumption & Wastewater Discharge, Solid & Hazardous

Waste Generation, Labour Employment, Infrastructure Development and Greenbelt

Development.







This phase of project is important as it generates long term impact as the production

starts. The primary impact causing likely deterioration will be on Air, Water, Noise, Soil

and Flora – Fauna due to Air Emission, Water Consumption & Wastewater Generation,

Solid/Hazardous Waste Generation, Noise Generation and Transportation.

4.3 Impact Identification

The impacts of project activities on environment may be numerous which may be

significant and non-significant according to the magnitude of impacts. From impact

assessment point of view through all impacts are important however, we need to take

care of significant impacts, in particular to adverse changes, if any from project

activities. Identification of significant environmental impact is essential in the

preparation of EIA report, an attempt has been made here through the use of "Activity

Effect" matrix.

Impact Identification Matrix is shown in the Table No. 4.1 (for construction and

operation phase of proposed project). Various activities belonging to industrial project

have been grouped and arranged in rows. The environmental factors, which are being

potentially impacted, have been arranged in columns. A preliminary scrutiny has been

done and the cells, which fall at the junction of the “Activity” and “Factor” that have

possible interaction with each other, have been crossed.







The Matrix, thus, establishes the possible “cause-effect” relationship and identifies the environmental factors being impacted and activities

responsible for the same.

4.4 Assessment of Impacts

This section is devoted to the assessment of impacts due to the proposed industrial project, which are the most important components of EIA.

Assessment involves determination of nature and extent of impacts due to the industrial activities or the actions involved. Here it is determined

whether the environmental impacts are:

1. Positive or Negative impact

2. Short term or Long term impact

Based on Environmental Impact Analysis, the Environmental Impacts under this step are quantitatively and qualitatively assessed. Please refer

Table No. 4.2.

Quantitative

Quantitative assessment is done with the help of a mathematical model has been done wherever possible. The mathematical model used for

assessment in the present study includes “AERMOD VIEW – 9.0.0” Dispersion Model for air quality.

Qualitative

Qualitative assessment is done with the help of on available scientific knowledge and judgment. For other cases i.e. Water, Noise, Land / Soil,

Ecology, Socio-economic etc., the available scientific knowledge and judgments have been used.

B. Primary Meteorological Data:

Primary meteorological data have been used for AERMOD View-9.0.0. The said primary data is

attached as Annexure - 3.

Assessment of Impact on AAQ:

The AERMOD model is used to predict the centerline ground level concentrations of

Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen Dioxide in the surrounding study area. The

prediction is done in relation to the source strength and meteorological conditions for the

study period.

The Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) for Particulate Matter, Sulfur Dioxide and Nitrogen

Dioxide in the study area for all the stability conditions are calculated for the maximum

emission load. For the calculations, meteorological data like average wind speed, wind

direction, relative humidity, temperature, precipitation, cloud cover and ceiling height for the

period of 22/09/2017 to 23/12/2017 and emission rate of PM10, SO2 & NO2 and height &

diameter of the stack is considered. Predicted ground level concentrations of PM10, SO2 and

NO2 are presented in the Figure 4.1, 4.2, 4.3 and Table 4.8, 4.9 & 4.10.

4.9 Existing Traffic & Vehicular Pollution

Traffic survey has been carried out on State Highway No.-120. Based on the traffic

survey hourly vehicular traffic has been calculated. Considering worst case scenario,

average number of vehicles observed during 4 hours has been taken as hourly counts.

Passenger Car Unit (PCU) has been calculated by applying PCU factor. Proposed load of

trucks due to the movement of raw materials, fuel and products has been calculated. A

design capacity of road has been taken from the Indian Road Congress. Assessment of

proposed traffic load is given below in Table 4.13.

From the table below, it can be concluded that even for considering the worst case;

there will be minor increase in vehicular load due to the proposed project. However,

the total traffic load even after the proposed project will be very low compared to the

design capacity of roads. Adequate parking arrangements will be provided within the

industrial premises.

As no major increase in traffic due to the proposed project, there will be less chance of

increase in vehicular pollution. However, unit will take adequate measures by

instructing transporter for using only PUC certified trucks/vehicles and carrying out

regular service and maintenance of them.

ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES

5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES 5.1 Introduction:

Alternative analysis is the process of analyzing the proposed location for suitability

for basic necessities to operate the plant efficiently and safely. This analysis also

covers the environmental aspect of pollution prevention and improvement in

quality of life around the project vicinity. The project alternative is the course of

action in pace of another, that would meet the same purpose and need, but which

would avoid or minimize negative impacts and enhance project benefits. Such

projects may result in specific impacts which can be avoided or mitigated by

adherence to certain predetermined performance standards, guidelines or design

criteria. Alternative approaches may therefore be more effective in integrating

environmental and social concerns into the project planning process.

5.2 Site Alternative:

The proposed project site is in proximity of Morbi,District of Gujarat State. Project

proponent is very well familiar with the surrounding environment; therefore, it

becomes easy for the unit to set up the project on above stated location. The other

supporting features are briefly summarized hereunder:

Availability of adequate land;

Availability of all basic facilities like infrastructure, communication,

transportation, medical facilities, fuel, water, power, unskilled & skilled

manpower, raw materials, road network etc.

Proximity of market;

Nearest city-Tankara–13 km away from proposed site in NNE direction which

is very well connected with other parts of the country by road & rail;

No R & R will be required;

Easy availability of manpower;

No national park or wildlife habitats fall within 10 km radial distance from the

project site.

The location of the project is best suited to start the proposed manufacturing

activities. So, no alternatives for site are analysed.

5.3 Alternative for Technologies:

The Company wishes to start manufacturing of synthesis organic chemicals with a

state of the art technology. Project Proponent proposed to adopt successful best

CHAPTER – 6

ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM

6.1 Introduction

Environmental monitoring describes the processes and activities that need to take place

to characterise and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental monitoring

is an important step for conducting Environmental Impact Assessment as well as in

many circumstances in which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on

the natural environment. All monitoring strategies and programs have reasons and

justifications which are often designed to establish the current status of an environment

or to establish trends in environmental parameters. In all cases the results of monitoring

will be reviewed and analysed statistically.

Environmental monitoring program is designed to understand how the environmental

changes over the time. Therefore, regular monitoring program of the environmental

parameters is essential to take into account the changes in the environment. The

objectives of environmental monitoring program are;

a. To verify the results of the impact assessment study in particular with regard to

new development;

b. To follow the trend of parameters which have been identified as critical;

c. To check or assess the efficiency of the pollution control measures;

d. To check assumption made with regard to the development and to detect

deviations in order to initiate necessary measures.

e. Confirm statutory and mandatory compliance;

Post project environmental monitoring programme will be conducted for various

environmental components as per the conditions stipulated in Environmental Clearance

letter issued by MoEF & CC, New Delhi & Consent to Establish / Consent to Operate

issued by GPCB. Six monthly compliance reports will be submitted on regular basis to

MoEF & CC, New Delhi. Compliance Report for conditions stipulated in Consent to

operate will be submitted to GPCB on regular basis. Various environmental components

and pollution sources, which will be monitored under environmental monitoring

programme are stack emission, ambient air quality, water quality and noise levels.

6.2 Environmental Monitoring Program

The various environmental components and pollution sources which would be

monitored under environmental monitoring programme includes stack emission,

ambient air quality, liquid effluent, soil, noise levels and meteorological data.

Monitoring/sampling and analysis/measurement of various environmental parameters

will be carried out as per national/international standard methods (IS/APHA/validated

method). Details of the post project Environmental Monitoring programme which would

be undertaken for various environmental components, listed in Table - 6.1.
