Conclusion

The results of the monitored data indicate that the ambient air quality of the region in

general is in conformity with respect to norms of National Ambient Air Quality standards of

CPCB, at all locations monitored.

4.5 WATER MONITORING

Eight ground water samples and six surface water samples were collected as grab samples

and were analyzed for various parameters as per the procedures specified in “Standard

Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater” published by American Public

Health Association (APHA).

Surface Water

It is recommended that the acceptable limit is to be implemented. Values in excess of those

mentioned under :acceptable” render the water not suitable, but still may be tolerated in

the absence of an alternative source but up to the limit indicated under ‘permissible limit in

the absence of alternate source’ in Colum permissible, above which the source will have to

be rejected. If E.coli or Total Coliform are detected immediate treatment is require as per IS:

10500-1991 (Reaffirmed 2012).

5.0 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

The main hazard potentials in the proposed expansion project Facility are categorized as

below:-

Hazardous Materials to be handled Material hazards: High Speed Diesel (HSD) as storage fuel oil for DG set. Process hazards due to loss of containment during handling of hazardous materials or

processes resulting in fire, explosion, etc Mechanical hazards due to "mechanical" operations such as welding, maintenance,

falling objects etc. - basically those NOT connected to hazardous materials. Electrical hazards: electrocution, high voltage levels, short circuit, etc. Out of these, the

material and process hazards are the one with a much wider damage potential as

compared to the mechanical and electrical hazards, which are by and large limited to

very small local pockets

7.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Particulars Mitigation Measures

Air Environment

During Construction

Phase

• Dust pollution can be minimized at the source by water spraying and maintenance of

road.

• Construction material will be stored in temporary storage yard.

• There will be no basement; hence quantity of the soil excavation will be comparatively

less. However, soil will be kept moist to reduce dust emission during excavation for

piling.

• The excavated materials will be place only on the designated disposal areas.

• The heights, from which materials will be dropped, will be the minimum practical

height to limit fugitive dust generation.

• The construction area will be shielded with the help of tarpaulin from all the four sides

to contain the air emissions within the premises.

• Dust or dusty material will not be swept without effectively treating it with water or

other substances in order to minimize its dust emission.

• Suitable covered skips and enclosed chats or other suitable measures will be provided

in order to minimize dust emission to the atmosphere when materials & waste will be

removed from the premises.

• Rapid cleanup of project related track out or material spills on paved road.

• Natural topography will be maintained to the greatest extent possible.

• Parking lot and paved road will be constructed first.

• Upwind portion of the project will be constructed first.

• During high wind condition, construction activities will be restricted, so that minimum

flow of dust particle takes place.

• The first and most important step towards emission control for the large in-use fleet of

vehicles is the formulation of an inspection and maintenance system. It is possible to

reduce 30-40% pollution loads generated by vehicles through proper periodical

inspections and maintenance of vehicles

• All transportation vehicles will be suitably covered with tarpaulin & overloading of the

vehicles will be avoided.

• PUC certified vehicles will be used to avoid the exhaust emission.

During Operation • The unit will take all possible measures to control the emissions from all sources.







MAY’ 2018 21

Phase • Bag house are /will be installed to control emissions from the process

• Adequate stack height as per CPCB emission regulations of 30 m for furnace for proper

dispersion of pollutants into the atmosphere.

• Green belt development will be done to attenuate the pollution. Only local species will be

planted. It will cover 33% area of the proposed plant.

• Ambient air quality and stack emissions should be regularly monitored (as per

CPCB/SPCB) to ensure that ambient air quality standards and suggested limits of the stack

emission loads are met honestly all the time. And also to check the efficiency of Air

Pollution Control Equipments.

• All the internal roads will be black topped to prevent fugitive emissions.

• PUC certified vehicles shall be used for transportation of raw material/products.

• To check the functioning of pollution control equipment the unit will prepare environment

monitoring schedule during operation. In case of value found above the statuary limit the

plant will be shut down immediately and the environment cell of the unit will be informed

for further action.

• Raw material will be kept in storage yard and base of storage yard will have impermeable

base surfaces, usually constituted from the material being stored. Other raw materials will

be stored under cover sheds.

• Local exhaust ventilation will be provided to vent out the emissions to suitable arrestment

plant to meet the emission limit.

• Dust and fumes will be minimized by discharging slag from the induction furnace into slag

pots, rather than on to the ground.

• Indore air monitoring will be done to check the exposure level of the worker for periodical

basis. (at least once in six months)

Water Environment

During Construction

Phase

• Measures will be implemented to prevent seepage of liquid materials into ground where

it could contaminate groundwater;

diesel, grease, oil, etc. derived from the working area.

• The machinery / equipment will be maintained in a good operating condition;

• Specially designated areas will be created for vehicle maintenance;

• Accidental spillages will be cleaned up promptly.

• Curing water will be sprayed and after liberal curing, all concrete structures will be

covered with gunny bags this will conserves water

• Provisions will be made to ensure the construction vehicles stick to the access track to

prevent mud & dirt being deposited on roads

• Fence will be constructed around the site to trap sediments whilst allowing the water to







MAY’ 2018 22

flow through.

• All mud & dirt deposited on the roads from the construction activities will be cleaned.

• Adopting good construction and engineering practices will help in mitigating the water

pollution.

Water Environment

During Operation

Phase

• Industrial waste water will be treated in ETP

• Domestic Waste water will be treated in existing STP

• Rain water harvesting structure will be installed in the unit.

• Regular ETP effluent monitoring will be done to track the working of ETP.

• The unit will be shut in case of any problem in the ETP working.

• Neutralization and sedimentation of wastewaters where applicable ̇ Dewatering of

sludge and appropriate disposal of solids.

• All effluents containing acid/alkali/organic/toxic wastes should be treated by

appropriate methods

Solid Waste

During Construction

Phase

• Careful design, planning and good site management would minimize waste of materials

such as concrete, mortars and cement grouts. The contractor will make inventory of all

types of solid waste that are expected during the construction activity before starting the

work.

• Complete excavated material from the earthworks will be re-used on site as structural

fill or for landscaping purposes by balancing with cut & fill operations.

• Construction waste generated will be disposed off according to the nature of the waste.

• Proper litter disposal and collection points will be established around the all

construction work sites.

• The transportation of construction spoil will be allowed only to designated dumpsites

after obtaining permission of.

• No solid waste will be kept in open spaces.

Solid & Hazardous

Waste

During Operation

Phase

• The slag collected from the bottom will be again re-charged in the furnace. The cycle will

continue till the end waste is formed. Slag accumulated inside the furnace, will be

continuously removed and will be sent to cement manufacturing units. Iron will be

separated from slag with the help of magnate and will be reused for manufacturing of

mild steel as a raw material.

• Slag obtained will be properly staged on a platform above ground level and shall be

suitable covered with tarpaulin sheets.
