3.  BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS AND IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS  

3.1 Air Environment  The baseline air quality status forms the basis for the assessment of air quality impacts due to the proposed development activity. Baseline air quality status can be generated through a well designed air quality monitoring activity. Baseline status studies of air environment were carried out through reconnaissance survey followed by air quality surveillance program and micro-meteorological data collection. Micro-meteorological data is used in the interpretation of baseline status and for studying air pollution dispersion pattern and prediction of impacts.

3.1.1 Design of ambient air quality monitoring network: The following criteria were taken into account in designing the ambient air

quality-monitoring network.

Topography/terrain of the study area Populated areas within the region Prediction of max concentration & distances of their likely occurrences under

prevailing micro-meteorological conditions Representation of regional background Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in down wind direction Historical wind rose to understand the wind pattern in the area.

Reconnaissance Reconnaissance survey was undertaken within the study area to collect

information regarding topography of the study area, meteorological features of the area and other features relevant to the air environment. Reconnaissance survey enables the selection of sampling sites and design of air quality monitoring network. The criteria pollutants like PM2.5, ,PM10, SO2 and NOx were identified to assess the existing air quality in the impact zone. The study was conducted for summer season (March 2011 – May 2011).

The location of the plant is spread over on area of 16135 sq. mt., at Ambernath, Thane. The study area was 10 km radial distance from the proposed plant site. The identified impact zone is covered by wasteland, market places, and other rurally inhabited localities. Within the study area there are some other big and small industries. Perrigo API India Limited, Watson Pharma Pvt. Ltd. are the industry prevalent in the area. Seven ambient air quality- monitoring sites were selected based on the ambient air

quality monitoring network design. The distance and bearing of these locations with respect to the plant site are given in Table 3.1.1 and indicated in Figure 3.1.1.

 Methodology for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring  

3.1.1.1 The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) of CPCB dated 18th November 2009. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) was carried out at 7 locations in summer season considering the criticality of the region.

3.1.1.2 AAQM locations were monitored on 24 hourly average basis for two days in a week as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. AAQM was carried out at 7 number of locations, as per presented in CPCB guideline to determine a finer cross-sectional distribution of air pollution in an industrial developed region.

3.1.1.3 The conventional and project specific parameters such as s particulate matter (PM2.5,

PM10), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are monitored. The sampling location with high volume sampler is shown in Figure 3.1.2.

3.1.1.4 The values for monitored concentrations of various pollutants at all the monitoring location were processed for different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum concentration, maximum concentration and percentile values. The existing baseline levels in summer season with respect to PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx, are expressed in terms of various statistical parameters the 98th percentile concentration have been compared with stipulated standards of CPCB as per the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

3.1.2 Micro-Meteorology of the Area

3.1.2.1 The study of micro-meteorological conditions of a particular region is of utmost importance to understand the variations in ambient air quality status in that region. The prevailing micrometeorology at project site plays a crucial role in transport and dispersion of air pollutants. The persistence of the predominant wind direction and wind speed at the project site will decide the direction and extent of the air pollution impact zone. The principal variables, which affect the micrometeorology, are horizontal transport and dispersion (average wind speed and directions), convective transport and vertical mixing (atmospheric stability) and also topography of the area towards local influences.

3.1.2.2 Climatological Tables of Observatories in India (1951-1980), published by the India Meteorological Department, were used to obtain historical data for the region. Ambernath is the nearest weather observatory to the project site. Temperature varied in the range of 28.89o C – 31.11o C. Annual rainfall varied in the range of 1850 – 2130 mm with normal annual rainfall of 1967 mm. The annual average of rainy days (rainfall above 282.1 mm in a day) was 46.8. The annual average wind speed was 7.2 km/h. Seasonal variation in predominant wind direction was not observed at Ambernath. Winds from the E-W were predominant in the winter and the summer season.

3.1.2.3 The months of March, April and May are considered to be representative of

summer season. Monthly mean relative humidity was in the range of 38 - 79% in the summer season. Wind predominantly blows from E-W sector in summer season. Wind speed remains in the range of 7.2 km/h for most of the days and a cloudless sky is observed for 80-85% of the duration during the summer season. The meteorological data is collected and processed to draw wind-rose as shown in Fig. 3.1.3. The daily (00-24 hrs) wind-rose in the project region shows the predominant winds during study period were from E-W sector with predominant wind 23.91%. There are no significant variations in wind speed/wind directions. However the wind speed during daytime was relatively

3.3.8 Soil Quality Soil samples were collected from seven locations and subjected to physical, chemical and microbiological analysis standard method’s were followed for the analysis total seven soil samples were collected around the Dyes & Dyes Intermediates manufacturing industry Ambernath locations of villages are depicted in Figure 3.4.1 and summarized in Table 3.4.1.

The international pipette method (Black, 1964) was adopted for determination of particle size analysis. The textural diagram was generated using “SEE soil class 2.0 version based on United States Department of Agriculture (ASDA) classification of soils physical parameters such as bulk density parasite and water holding capacity were determined by the following KR Box method (Keen and Raczkowski, 921)

The chemical characteristics of soil were determined by preparing soil extract in distilled water in ratio 1:1 (as per Jackson procedure, 1967) Organic matter was determined in terms of organic carbon by Walkley & Black method (1972) fertility status of soil in terms of nitrogen and phosphorus was determined by extracting soil with KCL (FAO soils Bulletin, 38/2 Rome) and Olsen’s method (1954) respectively.

Heavy metals in soil were determined by extracting soil with conc. H2

SO4and conc. HNO3 followed by analysis on ICP as AAS (APHA, 1995). The results obtained from analysis are summarized below.

3.3.8.1 Physical Characteristics Air-dried and sieved samples were used for determination of physical properties soil. The particle size distribution of soils in terms of percentage of sand, silt and clay are presented in Table 3.4.2 of particle size distribution data have been used to classify soil texture through standard soil texture triangle (Figure 3.4.2).

Page 64: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

63 

The soils at individual locations are classified in different categories of soil texture, viz. sandy clay loam, slit loam, sandy loam, clayey, and sandy clay out of which sandy clay loam is predominant.

Bulk density of soil relates to the combined volumes of the solids and pore spaces soil with a high pare space with loose soiled particles will have lower bulk density than those that are pore compact and have less pare space. This is directly related to the movement of air and water through soil thus affecting the productivity. The bulk density of the soils was found in the range of 0.8 to 1.7 gm/cm3.

Soil porosity is described in terms of air filled pore spaces in indicative of storage and movement of gases for the inherent moisture and development of root systems, soil strength etc. The porosity and water holding capacity were found in the range of 43 % to 88 % and 38 % to 54 % respectively.

3.3.8.2 Chemical Characteristics The Chemical parameters selected for determining soil characteristics are: pH, electrical conductivity, soluble anions and cations, cation exchange capacity (CEC), exchangeable cations, exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP), nutrients and organic content as well as heavy metals. The results obtained for these parameters are presented in Table 3.4.3 to 3.4.9.

PH is an important factor, which indicates the alkaline, acidic and neutral nature of soil. The pH of the soil in the study area was slightly alkaline in the range of 7.2 to 8.3. The soluble salts were determined from soil extract (1:1). The soluble salts were expressed in terms of electrical conductivity (EC). The EC of the soil samples were in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 ms/cm. The area receives good rainfall so physical thronged of small particles in soil due to surface run off and dissolution of minerals is moderate leading to more conductivity.

Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and exchangeable cations were estimated from the lactates of soil with ammonium acetate and potassium chloride Exchange able sodium percent (ESP) is calculated using the relationship

Page 65: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

64 

Exchangeable sodium

ESP= x 100

Cation Exchange Capacity

Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a consequence of positive electrical charges in clay and human particles in soil and it is balanced by adsorption of positively charged counter ions. It is this property that largely determines the storage capacity of nutrient ions in soil amongst the exchange able cations, Ca+2 and Mg+2 were found in the range of 5.5 to 34.3 meq/l of soil and 0.7 to 38.0 meq/l of soil respectively. Exchangeable sodium percentage (ESP) was found to vary from 6.6 % to 45.5 % on the basis of CEC the soil status is divided with respect to its adsorptive capacity and productivity potential. In general the soil in the region has low adsorption capacity as evident from the cation exchange capacity, which was found to be in the range of 24.0 to 75.6 meq/100 gm of soil. The presences of sodium in exchangeable form may have deleterious effect on the chemical and physical properties of soil. ESP between 6.6 % and 45.5 % can be considered as satisfactory. Classification of soils with respect to cation exchange capacity and its relation with productivity and absorptive is given in Tables 3.4.5 and 3.4.6.

Organic matters in soils have great importance in relation to its texture and affect its properties like cohesion\porosity and ion exchange capacity. It also helps in determining the relation of available nutrients organic matter which was determined by oxidizing the sample with acidified potassium dichromate. The percentage of organic matter in the soils was found in the range of 0.79 % to 5.31 % (Table 3.4.7).

The status of nutrient in soils is judged on the basis of available nitrogen, phosphorus and total organic matter contents. Available phosphorous was determined spectrophotometrically where the soil was leached with sodium bicarbonate and treated with molybdenum blue for colour development. The nitrogen and phosphorous content of soil in the study area varied from 37.4 kg/ha to 72.4 kg/ha and 1.9 kg/ha to 67.9 kg/ha respectively. Soil quality standards as per national bureau of soil sciences (NBSS) for agricultural activities are shown in Table 3.4.8. Soil samples

were also analyzed for heavy metals using inductively coupled plasma optical Emission Spectra’s copy (ICP – OES) levels of metals (mg/100 gm). The heavy metals like Ag found as traces and was absent in most of the locations. The contents of heavy metals like Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Mn, Zn and Fe in the study area were 1.2 to 2.2 mg/100 gm, 5.9 mg/100 gm to 9.1 mg/100 gm, 42.2 mg/100 gm to 82.2 mg/100 gm, 8.9 mg/100 gm to 22.8 mg/100 gm, 5.0 mg/100 gm to 16.2 mg/100 gm, 0.9 mg/100 gm to 10.4 mg/100 gm, 12.2 mg/100 gm to 39.1 mg/100 gm, 11.5 mg/100 gm to 19.5 mg/100 gm and 81.1 to 95.8 mg/100 gm respectively. The fertility quality is presented in Table 3.4.7 and land use pattern and land cover is presented in Table 3.4.11 and 3.4.12.

3.3.8.3 Soil Microbiology Various ecological cycles in the Photosphere depend upon the population of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, which are vital components of land environment. These micro-organisms help in maintaining the stability of the land environment Phizobium and Azotobactor are symbiotic and non-symbiotic nitrogen fixing microorganisms respectively, which improve soil fertility by fixation of Nitrogen Fungal. Also constitute an important part of the micro-flora of normal soil they are action in initial stages of decomposition of plant residues and actively participating in the process of soil aggregation. The microbiological status of soil in study area is present in Table 3.4.10.

3.3.8.4 Solid/Hazardous Wastes The major sources of hazardous waste generation at Monomer Ambernath are from ETP. Its treatment, mode of disposal and waste category as per Hazardous waste (Management & Handling rules) amended 2008. List of Hazardous waste is shown in Table 3.4.15.

3.5 Ecological &Biological Environment 

Description of ecological environment accompanied with possible important delineation is essential to impact assessment process. Biological environment has been defined as all plants & animals in a given place and time and a description of them. Also it is defined as a “Science that concerns itself with the interrelationships of living organisms, plants and animals and their environment” However only description of plants and animals is not just sufficient for the EIA, but it is important to know how these components will be affected aversively or positively due to the proposed activities. The study area includes the core region of proposed regional sites for treatment, processing and scientific landfill for MSW and the adjoining area of 10 km radius from the periphery of each site. The sampling locations were selected after the reconnaissance of the whole study area which includes seven sampling points for the terrestrial vegetation. According to the Biomass studies (CEE 1997) the sites having most diversified flora have been identified for quadrant studies and assessment of quality.

3.5.1 Reconnaissance The reconnaissance revealed that the land around project site is covered with number of chemical, textiles, bulk drugs Industries. The location of plot is in notified industrial area. All necessary infrastructures is provided by MIDC, Govt. of Maharashtra.

3.5.2 Terrestrial Biology The terrestrial flora and fauna are assessed through following parameters:

3.5.2.1 Flora Methodology

Biologists and plant ecologists use a number of methods to study vegetation communities. Most sampling methods are quantitative, which involves collecting data on numbers of individuals, plant sizes and the amount of space occupied by target plants. Qualitative methods are also occasionally used to quickly define a plant community simply by observation.

Page 82: Monomer Env Impact Study

81 

The most common quantitative sampling methods are the quadrate method. The quardrant method allows the user to define a fixed area, called a plot, within which plant character can be measured. Usually, a rectangular or square quadrant frame is used to define the sampling area, although a quadrat can also be an identified are within a site. Although, the exact experimental design will determine where and how many samples are taken, the procedure always involves measuring plant character of only those plants inside the quadrat. Quadrates sampling usually attempts to define plant community characteristics for an area much larger than the actual area to be studied. Quadrat site will be representing the entire habitat and that eliminate the human factor.

After reconnaissance site visit, during which quantitative characters were noted, detailed studies were carried out with the help of quadrants in representative stretches of vegetation as given in Fig 3.5.3. Three sampling sites were selected for terrestrial vegetation given in Table 3.5.1. The vegetation was studied by using standard phyto-sociological methods devised by J. Braun Blanquet and modified by different workers from time to time.

The method of study falls under three heads: i. General description of plant community (Species listing) ii. Frequency, density and abundance study by quadrat method

Quadrat : Overall 10 quadrates were plotted in the whole study are for terrestrial vegetation. Structure of a piece of vegetation is determined using quadrat method which is polled randomly at the selected sites in the places of dense places with different species. Quadrat was a square area 10 x 10 meters laid down randomly in the area of study.

Frequency, abundance and density assessment provide multiple levels of

useful information. Frequency indicate the number of sampling units in which a given species occurs and thus expresses the numerical strength of a species in the community. Dominance is the relative prevalence of individuals of a species that results from their numbers and massiveness. The concept of importance

Page 83: Monomer Env Impact Study

82 

Value Index (IVI) has been developed to express the dominance and ecological success of any species. The index was calculated by summing the three relative values viz; relative frequency, relative density and relative dominance as per the methods of curtis 19590 and Phillips 19590. The higher value of IVI indicates that all the available resources are being utilized by that species and left over are being trapped by another species as the competitors and associate. The high IVI of a species indicated its dominance and ecological success, in the form of its better regeneration and greater ecological amplitude.

Following formula were used to calculated quantitative characters :

Frequency = Number of quadrat in which the species occur X 100 Total number of quadrats studied Abundance = Total No. of individual Occurrence of quadrats Density = Total No. of individual Total No. of quadrats studied

Frequency of species x 100 Relative Frequency = Sum of frequency values of all species Relative Density = No. of individuals of a species x 100 Total No. of individuals of all species Relative Dominance = Basal area of species x 100

Total basal area of all species Importance Value Index (IVI) = Relative Frequency + Relative Density +

Relative Dominance The main objective of ecological survey is to collect the baseline terrestrial biodiversity

status regarding flora and fauna in the Project Influence Area, (10Km surrounding the project

site).

Macrophyte

Historically, Butcher et al. (1924) were the first persons who recognized the importance of

biological analysis in overall assessment of aquatic environment. Detailed biological knowledge

also helps in the development of lake management policies. The faunal diversity of Indian sub-

continent is very rich, consisting of about 7% of the world fauna and thus is recognized as one

of the hot spot of bio-diversity (Jairajpuri, 1991). To protect and conserve this rich bio-diversity

it is necessary to enlist the bio-diversity of various habitats. Present study is an attempt to

document the macrophyte of the said study area so as to know the present ecological status.

During the study, a total of 129 species were recorded in the Entire study area. These belong to

83 genera and 51 families.

It is strongly recommended that those species obtained highest IVI values should be used for the plantation while implementing the green belt planting.

Simpson's Diversity Index:

A community dominated by one or two species is considered to be less diverse than one in which several different species have a similar abundance.

Simpson's Diversity Index is a measure of diversity which takes into account the number of species present, as well as the relative abundance of each species. As species richness and evenness increase, so diversity increases.

Avian Diversity

Birds have been considered as useful biological indicators because they are ecologically

versatile and live in all kinds of habitats as herbivores or carnivores (Jarvinen and

Vaisanen, 1979). The aquatic avifauna is susceptible to the changes in wetlands;

similarly they are more conspicuous in an ecosystem and hence can be easily observed

for monitoring the change taking place (Morrison, 1986). Some birds are migratory,

Page 97: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

96 

which are responsible for fluctuations in the population of birds that occur during

different seasons of the year, which may help to know whether area is normal or getting

polluted, as total absence of birds from any area may be considered as pollution

indication (Borale et al., 1994).

During the present investigation, 30 bird species including aquatic and non aquatic birds were

recorded. The present study revealed presence of 30 species of birds belonging to 19 families

and 26 generas. Out of these, 22 species were resident, 04 migrant, 03local migrants’ species

were observed. Individuals of family Ardeidae were found to be dominant, representing 05

species. Most of the bird species were observed in winter due to more food availability and

favorable climatic conditions for nesting and roosting. The density and diversity of water birds

are influenced by rainfall, temperature, humidity and cloudiness (Gross-custard, 1985).

3.6 Socio­Economic Environment The socio-economic component of environment with reference to human interest, aesthetics and cultural attributes needs to be studied while delineating Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for achieving desired target without impairing the quality of life. In order to carry out such studies information on issues such as effect on income and employment, life style, infrastructural facilities have been considered to evaluate quality of life. Baseline data on socio-economic parameters such as demography is generated based on District Census Handbook (2001). 3.5.3 Baseline Status surveyed in the Study Area

Demographic data such as number of households, population and community structure of the villages surveyed, are presented in Table 3.6.1. The following observations have been made based on the demographic information from District Census Handbook (soft copy 2011). The villages surveyed for socioeconomic study are presented in fig. 3.6.1. The study area comprises villages from Ambernath.

3.5.4 Demographic Structure The total population of the study area is 45,240. Literacy rate is 71% which is similar to state average 73%. The sex ratio is 905 females per thousand males. Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribal population constitutes 2.11 & 0.09

% of the total population respectively which is too low. The employment rate is 88 which are similar to the state average %.

3.5.5 Infrastructural Set up

The data on infrastructural set up is presented in the3.6.2 and the observations made during the study period are as follows: • All most all the villages of the study area have educational facilities in

the terms of primary & middle school. Dwarli, katrap, Morivali, Jambhul villages have schooling facility up to 10th class.

• MIDC water supply is the only drinking water source for the villagers. • Primary health center (PHC) is exists at Additional Ambernath,

however sub center is available at Ambernath • Bus service is available in almost all the villages

Page 103: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

102 

• Electricity is available in almost all of the village in the study area 3.5.6 Health Status

The data on morbidity pattern of the study area were collected from Rural medical dispensary. During rainy season the frequency of malarial infection is high which is due to the stagnation of water in the water logging areas.

3.5.7 Economic Resource Base The study area is hilly. The economy of the study area is not agriculture dominant. The Employment pattern of the study area is presented in FIG. 3.6.1. which depicts that approximately 8 % of the workers are engaged in agricultural and its allied activities and 90% people are involved in the activities like trade & commerce, construction etc.

3.5.8 Cultural and Aesthetic Attributes No significant archaeological setup or historical monuments are present in the study area.

Socio economic survey Socio economic survey was undertaken in the 5 villages of the study area to collect information on awareness & opinion of the local population about the proposed expansion of project. The survey was undertaken to estimate quality of life (QOL) of the people with the help of predesigned set of questionnaires. The survey refers to adult, males, females, on a proportional, stratified and random sampling basis.

The observations made during survey are: o Educational facilities are limited to primary & middle school & in

some of the villages these are extended to Higher secondary. o The private, Govt. buses & personnel transport are the only mode

of transportation in the area. o The terrain is hilly and the road conditions are very bad during

rainy season except road which comes under MIDC perview. o Very Low agriculture related activities are going on during

mansoon. Only rainfed crops are grown on hilly terrain.

3.5.9 Awareness & opinion of the people

The people are well aware about the Additional MIDC zone. Nobody is against the industries The localites opined that all the companies should carry out activity to control pollutions similarly to that of MONOMER CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES PVT. LTD. so that the environment they live will not be damaged. Community Development Activities by Monomer As a good gesture towards the community M/s. Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. Will help the near by community financially for education as will as for cultural upliftment.

3.5.10 Quality of Life

Quality of life is the function of the ‘objective conditions’ and ‘subjective attitudes’ involving defined area of concern. The “Objective conditions” are defined as numerically measurable artifacts of a physical event, sociological event or economic event. Objective conditions may be defined as any number, which stands for a given quality of variable of interest so long as it is independent of subjective opinion. “Subjective attitude” is primarily concerned with affective and cognitive dimensions. It is especially concerned with how aspects of cognition vary with variation in objective conditions.

Once objective measures are obtained for each factor they are transformed to a normal scale varying from 0 to 1 (value function curve) in which zero corresponds to the lowest and 1 to the highest. The weights are assigned to each factor by pair wise comparison technique by the experts group based on the secondary data and general observations.

For each objective measure, a corresponding subjective measure is developed for each individual factor. Again, the 0 and 1 scale (value function curve) is used. Weights are assigned to each factor using ranked-pairwise comparison technique.

Page 105: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

104 

The socio-economic indicators for QOL Assessment are:

Employment and working conditions, Income Housing Food Clothing Water supply and Sanitation Health Energy Transportation and Communication Education Environment and Pollution Recreation Social security Human rights

For evaluation of quality of life, subjective and objective QOL indices have been estimated. Cumulative QOL index is an average of subjective and objective QOL indices. The index values for individual socio-economic indicator are calculated as follows:

Objective Quality of Life

i = n

QOLo Σ = Ql1 x W1

Where, QOLo = Objective Quality of Life Index

N = No. of QOL Factors I = 1, …...,n

Ql1 = Satisfaction level (assigned by the expert group) for the

3.6 Identification of Impacts The major element involved in the process of environmental impact assessment is identification of impacts as it leads to other elements such as quantification and evaluation of impacts. Although, in general, character of impacts have been identified while describing existing environmental status, it is necessary at this stage to identify the critical likely impacts. for various components of environment, in the context of regional scenario. Various techniques are available for identification of impacts. In the present case for the activities related to the Dyes & Dyes Intermediate Industry, Monomer Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. Adaptation of "Network Method" which involves understanding of cause-condition-effect relationship between an activity and environmental parameters for identification of impacts has been found to be most appropriate methodology. The detailed list of activities and actions described earlier in this report have been taken into consideration for generation of cause-condition-effect networks (i.e. chains of events) in recognizing the series of impacts that would be triggered by the proposed activity. The method accounts for the project activity and identifies the types of impacts, which would initially occur. The next step related to analysis of each impact and identifies the secondary and tertiary impacts, which are induced as a result. This process is repeated until all possible impacts are identified.

4. PREDICTION OF IMPACTS Prediction of Impacts is the most important component in environmental impact assessment process. Several mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies are available for predicting impacts due to developmental activities on physico-ecological and socio-economic environment. The results obtained from predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The quantitative prediction of impacts is also essential to delineate pragmatic environmental management plan (pollution control measures) for implementation during and after the commissioning of proposed activities for minimizing the adverse impacts on environmental quality.

Mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe cause-condition-effect

relationships between sources of pollution and different components of environment. In

case, mathematical models are either not available or it is not possible to

identify/validate models for a particular situation, predictions are arrived at through

available scientific knowledge and judgments.

4.1  Air Environment The impacts on air environment from Synthetic Organic dyes & Intermediate

manufacturing facility depend on various factors like production capacity, types of

processes involved, type of raw material used, control technology in use and operation

& maintenance. Apart from the above, there will be other activities associated with any

industrial project, viz. transportation of raw materials and finished products, storage

facilities and material handling within the plant premises which may contribute

significantly to air pollution. Generally, dye intermediate project comprises besides

process units several onsite and offsite facilities, viz. storage of tank farms as primary

feedstock and other organic liquid chemicals, intermediates and marketable products

etc.

The impacts on air environment from any industrial project are also governed by terrain

conditions and the prevailing micro-meteorological conditions in the project region.

Page 112: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

111 

The relative locations of various process units and associated stacks position have been

shown in plant layout (Fig. 4.1.1).

3.1.1 Plant Emissions

The emissions from point sources at dye & dye intermediate manufacturing facility

are very important for impact assessment as the emissions from these sources are

comparatively large in quantities, continuous in nature and released at higher

elevations above ground level. The impacts on air environment from stacks depend

on the type of fuel used and may extend to far distances depending on

meteorological conditions. The fugitive emissions are generally less in quantity and

they are released relatively closer to ground level which cause impact to very

limited distances (about 1-3 Km).

Amongst the continuous point source emissions, SO2 will be of prime concern as it is

emitted depending on the type of fuel used and followed by emission of Oxides of

Nitrogen (NOx), which also depends on type of fuel (solid/liquid/gas) and the rate

of fuel combustion.

4.1.1.1 Emissions from Proposed Units

In the proposed project, PM2.5, RSPM-PM10, NOx and SO2 will be major air pollutants

from fuel burning units, as combination of fuel will be used. Besides small quantities of

particulates, Cl2, and HCl, will be released from stacks. The major stack emission

sources in the proposed dye and dye intermediate facility are DG stack & combine stack

of Boiler and Thermopac. Fuels proposed to be used include solid, liquid and gaseous.

Emissions from new unit along with stack parameters are presented in Table 4.1.1.

The major component of fugitive emissions especially hydrogen chlorides are

contributed by storage tanks at any tank farm where hydrochloric acid are stored

through evaporation / breathing losses. There are storage tanks proposed in project.

Due care will be taken in designing of storage facilities at each stage to minimize the

fugitive emissions. Storage tanks should be provided with proper dykes for safety. The

Page 113: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

112 

storage capacity of individual tanks varies from 10Kl to 15 Kl. The proposed tanks are

designed with cylindrical fixed roof and provided with scrubbing vents, accordingly

the fugitive emission from storage tanks are expected to be negligible including the

resultant impacts on air environment.

Truck movements in dyes and dye intermediate manufacturing facility are not

significant and therefore the emissions from truck movements are considered

insignificant.

4.2  Noise Environment 

4.2.1 Noise Levels due to Propose Project

The proposed project is synthetic organic dye & dye intermediate plant for the

production of 2100 MT/A . The cumulative noise level at a particular location within

the study area due to noise sources can be computed by using the following equation:

r2

Lp2 = Lp1 - 20 log ---- - Ae1,2

r1

Where,

Lp2 and Lp1, are the noise levels at distance r2 and r1 respectively from the

source and Ae1,2 is the excess attenuation along the path r2-r1, due to environmental

absorption, scattering and other shielding effects.

Total noise levels Lp (Total) due to all sources can be determined as follows:

Lp (Total) = 10 Log (10 Lpa/10 + 10 Lpb/10 + 10Lpc/10 + ------)

where,

Lpa, Lpb, Lpc, are the noise levels at a sampling point due to sources A, B, C, etc.

Page 114: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

113 

4.2.2 Noise Due to Transportation

The equivalent noise level due to traffic is estimated using FHWA noise model,

as follows:

Leq(h)i = Loe + 10 Log (Ni/ Si Ti) + 10 Log (15/D) (1+a) + So-13

where,

Leq(h)i = Leq at hour h for ith vehicle type

Loe = Reference mean energy level for ith vehicle type

Ni = Number of i type vehicle passing during time T

Si = Average speed for the ith vehicles type in Km/hr

T = Duration for which Leq is desired

D = perpendicular distance in meters from centerline of the traffic lane to

the location

a = Factor relating to absorption characteristics of ground cover between

the roadway and the observer

So = Shielding factor

Noise levels for light, medium and heavy vehicles on the roads are calculated

using the above model and cumulative effect is computed using the following model :

Leq (Total) = 10 Log (10 Leq L/10 + 10 Leq M/10 + 10 Leq H/10)

where LeqL, LeqM, LeqH are equivalent noise levels for light, medium and

heavy vehicles respectively.

The area specially industrial zone is heavily affected by transportation of

highly loaded vehicles. The city buses, trucks, lorries, tankers and Public transport to

nearby places is mainly through this route. Major contribution during morning and

evening hours is from the two wheelers. A traffic load of around 250 heavy, 550

medium and 200 light vehicles were observed in this area during morning & evening

Page 115: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

114 

peak hour. The equivalent noise level due to increased traffic at the Monomer Chemical

Industries Pvt Ltd (Unit 2 ), Gate is predicted to be 72.0 dBA.

4.2.3 Impact of Noise on Occupational Health

Equivalent sound pressure level (Leq) averaged over 8 hours is used to

describe noise exposure in work place environment. The damage risk criteria for

hearing as enforced by CPCB and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health

Administration) stipulate that the noise levels up to 90 dBA are acceptable for 8 hour

exposure per day.

These noise sources include turbo-generators, air compressors, feed pumps,

condensate pumps, reflux pumps, recycle pumps, diluent pumps, tempering pumps, air

blowers, I.D. Fans, cooling towers etc. It is observed that noise levels inside the process

units will be exceed 74 dBA because major noise sources listed in these plant units.

However, exposure to noise to individual workers will be below 80 dBA (for 8 hours

shift) because of use of earmuffs and noise-insulated cabins.

The workers will be exposed to these levels for a short duration and mostly

spend the remaining time in Control Room Cabins.

4.2.4 Impact on Community

The community level impact of noise is predicted as equivalent noise level during

daytime (6.00 am to 9.00 pm) and during night time (9.00 pm. to 6.00 am). A 10 dB(A)

penalty factor is added to Leq during night time for computing equivalent noise level

during day and night (24 hourly average). This penalty is added to account for the fact

that noise during night (sleeping) time is judged to be more annoying than the same

noise level during daytime. Equivalent noise levels for day-night are used to describe

community noise exposure.

The cumulative impact of all noise sources at the boundary wall is predicted in the

range of 40-50 dB(A). After superimposing the predicted noise level over the baseline

status at the nearest compound wall (250 m) and beyond the effective increase would be

only 5.0–10.0 dBA. It is estimated that the noise level at the nearest village (residential),

are well within the stipulated standards.

4.3  Water Environment The projected water requirement for the dyes & dye intermediate manufacturing facility

is 111.00 m3/day. The water requirement of the dyes & dye intermediate manufacturing

facility is given in Table 4.3.1.

Due to the proposed project, the wastewater quantity emanating from the process

facilities will be 90.00 m3/day. The wastewater which is generated due to

manufacturing process treated in the effluent treatment plants. The treated water will

be reused for gardening, washing & flushing.

The expected characteristics of treated effluent outlet are presented in Table 4.3.2.

4.4  Land Environment The total 16135.00 Sq. mtr area acquired for the proposed new plant units. As per

the results obtained from baseline status of land cover through soil samples analysis,

the soil in the major portion of land identified for whole facility is effected and not

suitable for agriculture (low fertile) purpose. Therefore no prime agricultural area

will be converted to industrial use. The progressive greenbelt development is

expected to improve the fertility of soil and prevent top soil erosion. As such there

will be no adverse impact on land from proposed project.

There are no notified sensitive receivers existing within 10 km radial distance of

proposed project site.

There will be hazardous waste generation from proposed synthetic organic dye &

dye intermediate production. The industry has Efficient Hazardous Waste

Management practices in compliance to the hazardous waste (Management &

Handling) Amendment Rules, 2008. Therefore, the quantity of hazardous wastes

Page 117: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

116 

would be handled in the similar manner. The list of hazardous waste, which would

be generated, quantity of generation, treatment and disposal is represented in Table

4.4.1.

4.5 Biological Environment 

Most of the reserved forest area is on the West and South of the monomer chemical

Industries complex. East-west and West being the most prevalent wind direction, no

adverse impact on reserve forest is predicted due to air pollutants from Monomer.

The liquid wastes will be generated during post commissioning phase of the

proposed dye & dyes intermediate Industry will be treated by conventional method

so as to meet the stipulated standards. The resultant effluent, after discharge to the

CETP for further treatment.

4.6 Socio­Economic Environment 

The issues such as land acquisition, compensation and rehabilitation are not involved as

the proposed project would be taken in the Industrial zone only. Critically analysing the

baseline status of the socio-economic profile and visualising the scenario with the

proposed project, the impacts of the project would be of varied nature. Prediction of the

qualitative impacts and socio-economic environment is presented in Table 4.6.1.

There will be certain critical impacts on socio-economic environment due to:

Immigration of population from nearby areas for jobs Strain on the existing

infrastructure

Positive Impacts

Increase in infrastructural resources due to the proposed project by way of transport

and communication and other basic requirements. The direct and indirect employment

opportunities likely to be generated due to proposed activities for local people. The

proposed project is expected to generate indirect employment opportunities due to

increased product handling and transportation, which will result in beneficial impacts.

Page 118: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

117 

In addition to the opportunity of getting employment as construction labours, the local

population would also have employment opportunities in related services activities like

commercial establishment, small contracts and supply of construction materials for

building and ancillary infrastructure etc. consequently, this may lead to economic

upliftment of the area.

With increase in migration of the population from the other parts of the state there is a chance

of dilution of ethnic culture in the region. People located in the project area and in close

vicinity, shall enjoy positive changes in life style.

The project is not going to influence the existing traditional agricultural practices. It may help

to improve agricultural production by way of providing additional income to the farmers

from supplementary sources.

There will not be any stress on existing local infrastructure facilities, as the number of

persons proposed to be directly employed by Monomer will be marginal. A varied

range of products produced by M/s Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd.,

Negative Impacts

If proper sanitation facilities are not provided during production activities it may cause

unhealthy atmosphere in the area.

However, the local inhabitants are not against the projects, provided their demands for

Infrastructural improvement and job opportunities are met by the management.

If not provided proper disposal of waste generated by the new facility causes hazards

on surrounding area.

5.ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT After the collection of baseline data and subsequent identification and predication of impact, the following Environmental Impact Statement have been prepared for five basic environmental components which are likely to be affected or benefited due to proposed Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd., Unit - 2

5.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The changes in baseline ambient air quality status with respect to PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NOX are expected to be negligible in the region at the enhanced production of dyes intermediates production of proposed project by Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. The levels of air pollutants will not exceed the stipulated standards of Maharashtra Pollution Control Board (MPCB) in the region. No significant change in ambient air quality is envisaged. The strengthening of proposed green belt shall further reduce impact due to proposed activity. The predicted ground level concentration for PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NOX are negligible (less than 1µg/m3).

5.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Inplant noise level limit 75 dB(A) during daytime 70 dB(A) in the night time. The current baseline noise levels within impact zone around Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd., varied from 42.8 – 67.9 dB (A) during daytime and 25.6 -55.6 dB (A) in the night time. It was observed that noise level near Boiler & Diesel generator were found to be more than stipulated standards for industrial area where as in impact zone noise levels were less than the stipulated standards for residential area.

The impact of noise generation from proposed units on the neighboring population is expected to be insignificant. The noise exposure to the workers shall not exceed the stipulated limits with proper noise mitigation measures. The increase in noise level due to transportation activities would be insignificant.

6. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN Impact Assessment helps in identifying potentially damaging aspects of a proposed project. Based on the finding of the impact assessment, Environment Management Plan is devised to minimize adverse impacts and enumerated various steps to be taken for improvement of the environment.

Environment Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure a safe and clean environment. A project may have identified proper mitigation measures but without a management plan to execute it, the desired results may not be obtained. The Environment Management Plan envisages proper implementation of mitigation measures to reduce the adverse impacts arising out of the project activities.

Some of the major objectives of the EMP are:

♦ Ensure the project implementation with minimal impacts on all environment attributes

♦ Minimize the impacts on socio- economic indicators of the local and adjoining regions

♦ Maintain the higest level of readiness for meting the needs of any deviation in sustainability practices

♦ Systematic implementation with adequate manpower, budget and action plan for EMP

♦ Use EMP to demonstrate the effectiveness of its workability along with the project proponent’s commitment.

RECYCLE & REUSE OF TREATED WATER AND WASTE MINIMIZATION

• Approximately 20 CMD Treated effluent proposed to be reuse in the process for washing activities (Floor washing/ Filter press wash etc..)

• To avoid the spillages of raw material from mechanized system is adopted.

E.T.P. TREATMENT SCHEME--100 CMD CAPACITY

A] OIL & GREASE TRAP:

This unit shall be designed to subsidize velocities and to trap the heavy solids, floating

matter and oil. Down flow arrangement shall be provided to trap the floating oil. The

effluent enters in the first compartment and upward due to up flow (top opening) and

down ward in the second compartment due to down flow arrangement (bottom

opening). The mechanical belt type skimmer is proposed to install to remove out

floating oil with the help of skimmer. Mechanical oil skimmer skims off the floating oil.

The oil and grease and floating matter free effluent will be then allowed to enter the

underground collection cum neutralisation tanks.

B] COLLECTION CUM NEUTRALIZATION TANKS (Effluent Collection Sumps):

Two tanks are proposed to facilitate fill and draw operation. After filling one, another

tank shall be utilize for receiving by opening the inlet valve V2 of collection tank and

close another valve V1 of first collection tank. The pH of the incoming effluent must

checked on pH meter and pH paper and adjusted to make it neutral. As most efficient

digestion occurs at neutral pH, it is necessary to neutralize the incoming water to pH of

7. For flocculation the pH is adjusted in the range of 8.5 to 9 and ferric Alum solution

added to make is neutral i.e. 7 pH. Here at this stage. Equalisation minimises hour-to-

hour variations in wastewater flow and composition, and prevents shock loads from

upsetting the downstream process. It is proposed that both the tanks will be equipped

with air distribution system and must be kept in continuous operation. After

neutralisation the neutralised effluent shall be oxidise further with help of Ozone by

circulating the effluent through venturi of ozonator. The system shall be operated for

minimum 1 ½ hr for proper mixing.

Page 132: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

131 

C] OZONATOR:

Ozonator is powerfull oxidant. Inbuilt oxygen generator produces O3 .This process is

carried out by an electric discharge field. An ozonation system includes passing dry,

clean air through a high voltage electric discharge. The water shall be passed through a

venturi throat which creates a vacuum and pulls the ozone gas into the effluent or the

air is then bubbled up through the water being treated. The ozone reacts with metals to

create insoluble metal oxides. The oxygen can be pass two different venture at a time.

The same ozonator shall be used to oxidize the neutralized raw effluent if required in

case effluent colour is very dark.

D.] CHEMICAL PREPARATION TANKS:

Lime and FeSO4 and polyelectrolyte preparation systems shall be used in the primary

process. Lime & FeSO4 or HCL shall be used for neutralisation of effluent. 10 % lime

solution and 10 % Ferrous sulphate shall be prepared while Polyelectrolyte is prepared

in Polyelectrolyte tank with 1 % concentration. Polyelectrolyte shall be used here as a

flocculent. The rate and dosing will vary on the basis of conc. of raw effluent and results

of treatability studies will helps us to reduce the consumption of chemical for effluent

treatment. This shall be used only during failure of electro precipitator unit.

E] ELECTRO PRECIPITATOR UNIT:

The neutralized effluent pass with consistency rate with help of effluent transfer pump.

EP unit shall be installed in the first chamber of flash mixer. During transfer of effluent

a current of low voltage shall be passed with help of E.P. Due to passing of low voltage

current, effluent shall gets precipitated and mixes in the FM and overflows through first

launder of primary settler and enter into settling tank.

F.] SETTLING TANK NO 1 & NO 2:

The effluent shall enter settling tank and the sludge gets settled in the hopper bottom of

the unit. Sludge generated shall be transferred to the sludge tank. Supernatant

Page 133: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

132 

overflows through outer launder and enters into the flash mixer of the second settler

settling tank 2. The settled sludge shall drained into the sludge tank by opening of the

bottom valve till the sludge free water comes out and finally slurry from sludge tank is

feed to filter press with help of sludge feed pump for dewatering. In the F.M of settling

tank no. 2, poly dosing (Micro Plus) is given to the effluent to enhance the quality of

out going effluent & removal of colour. It shall be mixed with effluent and overflow in

the settler II. The slurry or mixed liquor settles at the hopper bottom. The settle sludge

drain to sludge collection tank & final slurry feed to Filter Press for dewatering.

G.] AERATION TANK:

The neutralized supernatant allow to enter in the aeration tank for biological

degradation of available organic matter to reduce the remaining BOD and COD

aerobically. Microbial culture shall be added to facilitate the same. The biological

treatment tanks are designed on aeration principle. Here diffused aeration system shall

be provided. It enables the bacteria to act upon the biodegradable matter in the effluent

and reduce the BOD content while the rapid and turbulent movement of the effluent in

the presence of oxygen available from the air, certain amount of COD is also removed. 2

Nos. of tanks are proposed in series.

I.] CLARIFIER

From the aeration tank the treated effluent shall flows to the clarifier. To remove the

biological solids generated clarifier shall be used. The effluent with activated biological

sludge enters the clarifier tank through a pipe to the Center feed well, where it flows

downwards and then outwards to launder. The activated sludge shall settle at the

bottom of the clarifier tank, where it collected in the center cone of clarifier by gravity.

The settled sludge shall be continuously recirculated into the aeration tank for further

oxidation and excess sludge is pumped to the sludge drying beds. The supernatant of

clarifier shall overflow into the collection tank.

Page 134: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

133 

J.] POLISHING TANK

The treated clear effluent from clarifier shall be collected in the polishing tank.

Oxidatation is done over here with the help of ozonator for colour removal. From the

polishing tank effluent shall be pumped to the pressure sand filter at first and then

through activated carbon filter.

K] PRESSURE SAND FILTER (To remove suspended matter)

The effluent from polishing tank shall be pumped to the pressure sand filter. The

filtration takes place in the downward mode. The filter shall be filled with a layer of

graded sand media supported by a layer of graded gravel. The suspended matters in

the effluent are filtered out in this unit; the effluent then flown into the activated carbon

filter. It is necessary to backwash the sand filter every four hours or as and when

required.

L.] ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER: (To absorbed the dissolved organic matter)

The treated and filtered effluent from the pressure sand filter shall flows into the

activated carbon filter. In this unit too, the feed flow shall be in downward mode

through a layer of granular activated carbon filter in which dissolved organics of the

effluent are absorbed. It is necessary to backwash the carbon filter every four hours or

as and when required.

N.] SLUDGE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL:

Waste solids in slurry form are produced due to sedimentation that occurs in settling

tanks, filter press, solids from biological aeration, clarifiers. Total sludge thickening and

dewatering shall be done before they are disposed off. These waste solids from the

slurry shall be collected periodically passed through filter press for dewatering. Then

after drying completely, the sludge shall be collected in sludge storage pit, through

which it proposed to dispose off periodically to CHWTSDF.

7 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.1 Risk Assessment  The Environmental risks are inherent in operation of any industry, or any human activity for that matter. Any system failure can lead to disaster.

Risk is posed by (1) Dust in various operational steps and (2) Fuel, which here is in the form of power and LDO.

Dust is generated in many steps from raw material handling, transfer, heating, cooling, transporting out and waste treatment. In order to reduce this risk, steps like capturing the same, conveying through ducts, and controlling by cyclones Arrestors are attempted. Conveying by smooth internal roads, watering the roads, regular and quick sweeping and monitoring the efforts, are the minimum actions to be taken.

Fuel can give rise to one Risk, namely Fire. As full fire protection and extinguishing gadgets are provided, any risk from fuel stands automatically covered. All motors are kept TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled). Temperature and Carbon Monoxide control is undertaken by arranging carbon dioxide correct percent. This minimizes the Risk to a very great extent.

Vehicles bringing in the materials are run at slow speed. It is neatly tied and secured to the vehicles. Guards patrol the entire length, throughout day and night. There is no public traffic here and warning signals are painted on boards.

For other raw materials, it is a policy to bring the same in small doses and in closed containers. If sundry raw material comes in bags, hooks and other sharp equipment is not to be used on bags or unit loads. Cranes, tackles and forklift trucks are used for unloading and loading.

Before storage all units are to be inspected for cleanliness and for damage.

All bags are to be stacked on pallets. All damaged bags are to be repaired. a second impermeable bag which would be sealed properly and kept separately for use.

Dyke walls, smooth sloping floors provided around storage tanks.

7.1.1 Stocking at work place, loading and maintenance of floor area

The raw materials are to be placed very near to the feeding point.

House keeping is most important of all dust control methods.

Simply cleaning of all possible emission sources as quickly as possible.

7.1.2 Work Environment

Dust and Heat free work environment is maintained in view of workers’ safety, Health and Hygiene. The efforts taken in this respect are

# Source Attenuation by

1. Plant Avoided by adopting good foundation, good alignment, well lubricated.

Risk assessment for Monomer Industries Pvt. Ltd.

Risk assessment of following product

Introduction

A risk assessment can help you organise and manage risks in three stages:

1. Identifying underlining hazards

2. logically determining the risk of harm

3. Considering what could be done to reduce or eliminate that risk

A main principle of risk assessments is they should take place before any changes are made. Risks should be assessed and control measures put into action before new work is introduced or systems are changed. The process should influence budgets and allocation of resources, rather than being an afterthought when the decisions have already been made.

Risk assessment overview

The regulation of tasks in schools and services means mainly managers are responsible for ensuring risk assessments are in place. They must ensure suitable and sufficient risk assessments are carried out and regularly reviewed, and that records are kept for work in their areas of responsibility.

Risk assessments must be carried out for all work that includes significant risks.

Every two years as a minimum

Immediately following a serious incident or where there is reason to suspect it is no longer valid.

Page 155: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

154 

Protective and preventative measures

Control measures can be preventative (to prevent the hazard arising in the first place) or protective (to protect employees from existing hazards). Of course, measures identified in the risk assessment must be put into action if the process is to have any value.

The choice of control should be guided by the hierarchy of risk control principles:

1. Elimination

2. Substitution

3. Isolation

4. Reduction

5. Information, instruction, training and supervision

6. Personal protective equipment.

In the event of an accident or incident, the relevant risk assessments will be scrutinized.

Identify common assessments, allowing best practice to be shared through a consistent approach and easy exchange of information

• Highlight areas that still require assessment

• Highlight assessments that are due for review

Some of these specific risks may be included in a general risk assessment, for example manual handling and fire may be identified in a general office risk assessment.

The Hierarchy of control

Control measures identified by the risk assessment, whether protective or preventative, must be implemented in line with the following hierarchy of control. In many cases a combination of control measures will be needed.

Page 157: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

156 

• Elimination - is it possible to avoid the risk altogether? (eg. requesting a delivery service to an office instead of reception to prevent staff from manual handling.)

• Substitution - change the way you do the work, but take care not to introduce new risks (eg. using a safer chemical).

• Isolation - combat risks at the source and prevent access to the hazard (eg. guarding machinery).

• Reduction - reduce the number of employees at risk or reduce the extent of exposure.

• Use information (written procedures, safe systems of work), instruction, training and supervision - ensure employees understand what they must do and when, how they must do it and what activities are prohibited.

• Use personal protective equipment, but only as the last resort and only after all other measures have been implemented.

7.2 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN  Disaster Management Plan (DMP) will consider all the factors responsible for management of any small or big disaster. Emergency prevention through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection are essential to reduce the probability of occurance.However, certain operation & practices may lead to unwarranted situation wherein disaster scenario can emerge. The DMP, therefore, addresses to mitigate the effects of such situation with a view to bring restoration of normality at the earliest.

The overall objective e of a disaster management plan is to make use of the combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following:

To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it.

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

Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;

Safeguard other people, outside the project boundary;

Evacuated people to safe areas;

Inform and collaborate with statutory local and state authorities;

Provide credible information to news media;

Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and circumstances of the emergency;

Investigate and take steps to prevent recurrences of similar incidents.

The DMP, therefore need to be related to the identification of sources from which hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area.

The plan takes into accounts the maximum credible loss scenario. The actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need to be planned in a way that it would require less effort and resources to control and tackle emergencies.

The communication equipment is checked out periodically to ensure that they are functional. The ERCC should be capable of being activated within a few minutes upon declaration of an emergency.

7.1.5.6 Medical & Related Resources

The medical management for the possible emergency situations essentially consists of treatment for burns & maybe some asphyxiation cases. They should cause burns injuries. Materials safety data sheets and other relevant information would also be available at the facility to enable ready treatment of any casualty, should the unfortunate need arise. It is also proposed to circulate any import health and toxicology material available through the latest research to all doctors & medical professionals.

7.1.5.7 Response Evaluation ,Testing & Updating of the plan

Formulation of a “Disaster Management Plan “cannot possible be an itself. It needs to be tested by holding of periodical mock emergency simulation and drill. Any shortcomings revealed during such exercise should thereafter be corrected by amending the plan. The plan should be for future; hence, it must be reviewed at periodic intervals. He plan should be also reviewed and updated when:

Major alteration or extension of plant is carried out.

Major change in habitation or land use of the neighborhood takes place.

The Emergency Response coordination Centre shall be the main coordinator for making people aware of the situation and emergency condition response.

ETCC will also have mobile command post for immediate movement within the lane boundary or any other situation.

7.2 Off-site Emergency Plan

It is integral to the overall hazard and risk management due to plant facilities operation. Off-site plan addresses all issues which can have impact out-site of the site. Off-site Emergency plane has many components which need to be in place for effective plan

7.2.1 Organization: The organizational structure requires details of command structure, Warning system, implementation procedures, emergency control centers, In addition it also needs names & appointments of emergency coordinator along with other related key personnel.

7.2.2 Communications: The communication part warrants the complete identification of Personnel involved. Communication centre, call signs network and list of telephone numbers of all concerned. The clarity of communication is key to effective off- site emergency plan.

7.2.3 Specialized knowledge and Information: Details of specialist bodies, firms and People whose expertise may be required shall be maintained. In addition to expert list, detail of all hazardous substances stored or processed at the site and a summery of the risk associated with them shall be maintained.

7.2.4 Voluntary organizations & NGO’s: A complete list of details of organizers,

Telephone numbers, resource availability who are in the vicinity will need to be maintained.

7.2.5 Meteorological information: Weather condition prevailing at the time & weather

Page 185: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

184 

Forecasts should be maintained at the site for its possible use in forecasting episodes

& climate analysis.

7.2.6 Humanitarian arrangements: Transport, evacuation centers, emergency feeding Treatment of injured, first aid, antidote , ambulances, temporary mortuaries relate information shall be also maintained at ERCC.

7.2.7 Public Information: Arrangement for public interference and communication shall be made to deal with the media of all kinds. This facility will also be useful for relatives, nearby people of any concerned person. These arrangements will also facilities for collecting information on the causes of the emergency; as also reviewing the efficiency & effectiveness of all emergency plans.

7.2.8 Role of the Emergency Co-coordinating Officers: The various emergency services should be coordinated by an emergency co coordinating officer (ECO), who will be designated by the District collector. The ECO should liaise closely with the site controller. Again, depending on local arrangement, for very severe incident with major prolonged off-site consequences, the external control can be passed on to a senior local authority administrator or even an administrator appointed by the central or state government.

7.2.9 Role of the implementing Authority: The duty to prepare the off-site plan lies with implementing authorities. The appointed person will carry out his duty in preparing for a whole range of different emergencies within their jurisdiction area. The responsible person will coordinate to obtain the information to provide the basis for the plan. This liaison should ensure that the plan is continually up dated and communicated to all stake holders.

It will be the responsibility of the appointed person by implementing authority (also called emergency planning officer, EPC) to ensure that all those organizations. This will be involved off site in handling the emergency, know of their roles and responsibility. Sufficient staff and appropriates equipment arrangement shall be responsibility of respective person. Rehearsals for off-site plans should be organized by the EPC.

7.13.10 Role of Police: Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life & property & controlling traffic movements. Their functions should

Page 186: Monomer Env Impact Study

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

185 

include controlling by standers, evacuating the public, identifying any serious problems, and informing all concerned.

7.13.11Role of Fire Authorities: The control of a fire should normally be the responsibility of the senior fire bridge officer who would take over the handling of the fire from the site controller on arrival at the site. The senior fire bridge officer should also have similar responsibility for other events, such as explosions and toxic release Fire authorities in the region should be apprised about the location of all stores of flammable materials, water & foam supply points, and fire- fighting equipment. They should be involved in on site emergency rehearsals both as participates and on occasion, as observers of exercises involving on-site personnel.

7.13.12Role of Health Authorities: Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, Ambulances and similar other persons/institutions should have a vital part to play following a major accident & they should form an integral part of the emergency plan. Major off-site incidents are likely to require medical equipment & facilities in addition to those available locally, and a medical “mutual aid” scheme should exist to enable the assistance of neighboring authorities to be obtained in the event of an emergency.

7.13.13 Role of Government Safety Authority: This will be the factory inspectorate available in the region. Inspectors are likely to want to satisfy themselves that the organization responsible for producing the off-site plan has made adequate arrangements for handling exigencies of all types including major emergencies. They may see well documented procedures & evidence of exercise undertaken to test the plan. In the event of accidents, local arrangements regarding the role of the factory & electrical inspector will apply. These may very from keeping a watch to a close involvement in advising on operations. While the facility will activate the DMP & take necessary measures & arrange to extend all medical & security support, the factor/ electrical inspectorate may be the external agency with resources to carry out appropriate tests to assess the impact.
