3. Description of The Environment

The baseline environmental study comprises of investigation of Air, Water, Soil and

Noise quality parameters and its results are discussed briefly.

3.1 Air and Meteorological Environment

To achieve this objective, five ambient air quality stations are proposed within a

radius of 10 km from the project site. The frequencies were computed on 00-24hrs

corresponding to study period as shown in subsequent sections. The hourly

meteorological data of wind speed, wind direction, temperature and solar radiation

were recorded at the project site. Parameters such as heavy metals, Gaseous pollutants

and particulate matters are analyzed and monitoring results are within the prescribed

limits.

3.2 Noise Environment

The prevailing ambient noise levels at study area were monitored at five locations

within 10km radius. The field observations during the study period indicate that the

ambient noise levels in the study area were well within the prescribed standards at all

the different noise zones prescribed by CPCB.

3.3 Water Environment

To assess the quality of water around the project site three sampling locations of

surface water and three locations for ground water were selected within 10km Radius

of the site for Physiochemical parameters, heavy metals, and biological parameters.

3.4 Soil Environment

Soil characteristics such as color, porosity, soil texture, aluminium, chromium,

copper, sodium, chlorides etc. were analyzed at five sampling locations within 10km

radius of the site.

3.5 Ecology

There is no Wild life sanctuaries/ National / Reserved forest within 10 Km radius of

the site and there is no rare/ endangered species in the project study area.

3.6 Socio-Economic Environment

Proposed change of product mix is to be taken up in existing site with some

modifications and there will be no rehabilitation and resettlement.

4. Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures

The methodology adopted for carrying out the Environmental Impact Assessment for

the proposed Project has been based on the Guidelines issued by Ministry of

Environment & Forests (MoEF). An effective environmental impact assessment calls

for establishing sufficient background data on various environmental components

through reconnaissance survey, sampling and available literature sources etc. The

proposed project will have impacts on the environment in two distinct phases. During

the construction phase which may be regarded as temporary or short-term; the other

during the operation stage, which will have long term effects.

A careful examination of each of these activities with respect to the environmental

components establishes a “Cause and Effect” relationship between the activity and

environmental parameters.

The potential Environmental Impacts on Air, water, Soil, Hydrology, Flora and Fauna

are all studied carefully and the necessary mitigation measures were all proposed.

5. Environmental Management Plan

The Environmental Management Plan during construction and operation phase is

discussed to ensure the environmental protection around the project area.

EMP has been prepared addressing the issues like:

Mitigatory measures for abatement of the undesirable impacts caused during

the construction and operation stage.

Details of management plans (Greenbelt development plan, Solid waste

management plan etc.).

Institutional set up identified & recommended for implementation of the EMP.

Post project environmental monitoring programme to be undertaken after

commissioning of the project.

Expenditures for environmental protection measures.

Moreover, the recommendations for Disaster Management Plan, Occupational Health

and Safety Plan, fire and explosion controls, greenbelt development and rain water

harvesting system and energy conservation schemes should be considered and

implemented in the project.

6. Risk Assessment

Predicting and evaluating risk to take appropriate preventive measures during the

operation phase.

• The methodology and approach for the studies are based on Indian Standards IS

15656:2006 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION & RISK ANALYSIS – CODE OF

PRACTICE.

• Risk analysis tools used in the assessment include PHA – Process Hazard Analysis,

consequence and frequency analyses.

• The onsite storage units consist of underground & above ground tanks. The total

petroleum storage tankage capacity will be 1,17,035 KL.

• As the activities involve flammable materials and are classified as hazardous, risk

analysis studies were conducted to assess the degree of risk.

• The Study has assessed the site for potential to initiate and propagate an unintentional

event or sequence of events that can lead to an incident and / or an emergency

situation within the installation.

• The risk zones will be mainly within the plant site and will not have any effect on the

persons outside the plant.

• The maximum individual risk at manned location in the installation was assessed and

found to range between 10 -10/Yr to 10-11/Yr.

Also, additional safety measures are recommended for the same.

Emergency management plan, policies and principles for safety aspects of the

employees is given which are to be strictly followed by management and employees.

7. Applicability of Environmental Clearance for Proposed Facility:

Due to the proposed Oil storage Terminal the impact on environment will be

minimum and can be further reduced by implementing various mitigating measures

and regular monitoring programs.

The proposed Oil Storage Terminal will serve as a southern hub and have beneficial

impacts in terms of supply of petroleum products in the region with incidental

benefits like employment opportunities both in the construction stage and operation

stage. Also the modernized installation will facilitate greater level of operating safety.

BPCL has a successful track record of implementing various EMP’s & DMP’s in their

existing recently constructed installations.

Due to the proposed project the socio economic activities will be developed in and

around the project area.

As zero discharge Effluent Treatment Plant is envisaged and the impact on water

environment will be minimum. Various conservatory measures are proposed to be

taken for minimizing water consumption.

Proper disposal method such as Bio-remediation have been planned to carried out for

disposal of solid waste generated from the periodic cleaning of the tanks (once in 5

years) Hence the project is recommended by the consultant.
