To identify and quantify pollution sources and determine thesignificanceofimpactsonsensitivereceptors;
Toidentify,predictandevaluateenvironmentalandsocial impactsexpectedduring theconstructionand functionalphases in relationtotheexistingcivicinfrastructureandsensitivereceptorspresentifany;
To develop mitigation measures so as to minimize pollution,environmental disturbance and nuisance during construction andfunctionalphases;and
1.5METHODOLOGYOFTHESTUDY
Reconnaissance survey was carried out to understand nature of theproposed project, conduct visual site inspection, decide the samplinglocationsandprogramme.Samplinglocationswereidentifiedonthebasisoffollowingcriteria:
Predominantwinddirectioninthestudyarea;
Existingtopography;
Locationofsensitiveareas;
Accessibility,availabilityofpower;and
Areathatrepresentsbaselineconditions.
Samples were collected at various locations identified in thereconnaissance survey to establish thebaselineenvironmentalqualityatthe project site. The impacts of proposed development are predictedduring different phases of project viz. construction, operations andemergencies. The predicted impacts are analyzed and appropriateEnvironment Management Plans (EMPs) are defined to mitigate theadverseenvironmentalimpacts.
Sampleswerecollected foraperiodof threemonths i.e. fromDectoFeb2016.ParticularsrelatedtoSurveyareoutlinedinTable1.1.

3.3 AIRENVIRONMENT
3.3.1Meteorology
Meteorology (weatherandclimate) is thekey tounderstanding theairquality.The essential relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersioninvolves thewind in the broadest sense of the term.Wind fluctuations over avery wide range of time accomplish dispersion and strongly influence otherprocessesassociatedwiththem.
Secondary data also plays an important role in identifying the generalmeteorological status of the region. Site specific data can be compared withsecondarydatainordertoidentifychangeswhichmayhavetakenplaceduetovariousdevelopments in the area.Bothprimary and secondarymeteorologicaldatawerecollected.

4.8 NOISEENVIRONMENT
Construction Phase: Increase in ambient noise levels is expected duringconstruction phase. The operation of construction / material handlingmachinery. Construction vehicles employed for transporting variousconstruction materials will also lead to increase in ambient noise levels.However thiswill be short term impacts andwill be restricted to constructionphaseonly.
Themagnitudeof impact fromnoisewilldependupontypeofequipmenttobeused, constructionmethod and also onwork scheduling.Thequantityof thewastebeingverysmall,thehoursofoperationsisnotexpectedtobemorethan one shift. Further, it has been decided not to operate the landfill aftersunset.Thus,itisnotexpectedtoaffectambientnoiselevels.

CHAPTER9ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENTPLAN
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest themitigationmeasureswhichplayavitalroleinpreventionofenvironmentalpollutionduringconstruction and implementation phase of proposed project. This leads topreparation of environmental management plan. Environmental managementplanthereforeformsanimperativepartofRapidEIAprocess.
TheEnvironmentalManagementPlan (EMP) is a site specificplandeveloped toensurethat theproject is implemented inanenvironmentalsustainablemannerwhere all contractors and subcontractors to understand the potentialenvironmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriateactions. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out inaccordancewiththedesignandbytakingappropriatemitigativeactionstoreduceadverseenvironmentalimpactsduringitslifecycle.
The potential environmental impacts, which need to regulate are mentionedbelow:
AirpollutionduetotheemissionofParticulateMatterandgaseouspollutants;
Noisepollutionduetovariousnoisegeneratingequipmentaswellasvehicularmovement;
Wastewater generation from sanitary/domestic activities; and Solid wastedisposal.
9.2 AIRENVIRONMENT
9.2.1 ConstructionPhase
Themajorsourcesofairpollutionduringtheconstructionperiodwillbefromthemovement of vehicles for construction activity, the emissions are from thestationary sources like generator sets during emergency service only, andexcavation for foundation. Dust suppression by spraying of water will reducetheseimpactsconsiderably.
To mitigate the impact of SPM/dust during the construction phase of theproposedproject,thefollowingmeasuresarerecommended:
AFugitivedustcontrol.

Disturbedsurfaceareas
‐ Applydustsuppressionmeasuresfrequentlytomaintain a stabilized surface; ‐ Areas, whichcannotbestabilized,asevidencedbywinddrivendust,must have an application ofwater at leasttwiceperday.
Unpavedroads
‐ Waterallroadsusedforanyvehiculartrafficatleast twice per day of active operations; OR ‐Water all roads used for any vehicular trafficoncedailyandrestrictvehiclespeedto20kmph,whichwillreducedustemission.
Track‐outcontrol‐ Downwashof construction vehicles (especiallytyres)priortodeparturefromsite.
The most cost‐effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of watertends tobe readily available on a construction site.Water canbe appliedusinghandheldsprays.
9.2.2 FunctionalPhase

9.5 LANDENVIRONMENT
9.5.1 ConstructionPhase Waste generated from construction activity includes construction
debris, biomass from land clearing activities, waste from the labourcamp, etc. Following section discusses management for each type ofwaste.Besidesmanagementof topsoil is an importantarea forwhichmanagementmeasuresarerequired.
ConstructionDebris:
Constructiondebrisisbulkyandheavyandre‐utilizationandrecyclingis an important strategy formanagement of suchwaste. As concreteandmasonry constitute themajority ofwaste generated, recycling ofthis waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reducedlandfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for newconstruction activity. This is applicable to proposed site since theconstructionistobecompletedinaphasedmanner.
Recycledaggregatewillbeusedforfillerapplication,andasasub‐baseforroadconstruction.Mixeddebriswithhighgypsum,plaster,shallnot
