4.1 Vegetation and Wildlife Habitat
Impacts - During Construction there will be essentially clearing of bushes, shrubs etc., for lacing or
loading of construction materials and equipments, and the permanent erection of block and steel
concrete structures associated with site for new infrastructure. However, the units will be required to
dedicate specific area for greenbelt development coupled with RHW system with no use of ground
water. The units will also be required to remove top soil which shall be used by Sri City for planation
through its existing nursery which currently house large amount of samplings.
Mitigation Measures
Landscaping of the site, after project completion, will see the introduction of plants and trees
that should offset any negative impacts associated with the removal and loss of existing trees
at the project site.
The numbers and types of vegetation to be introduced during the landscaping exercise are
expected to be greater and more diverse than presently obtains and these are expected to play
a greater role in terms adding ecological value and attracting birds and other terrestrial fauna
during the operational phase of the project, apart from being more pleasing aesthetically.
4.2 Ambient Air Quality
Impacts - The various activities that affects ambient air quality during construction phase are site
preparation, approach roads, excavation, drilling, foundation, tunneling, deployment of machinery,
erection, transportation, dumping will cause dust and gaseous emissions. The pollutant released during
the construction activities may cause immediate effect on the construction workers, directly exposed
to them.
Temporary increase in air pollution will result from the use of construction equipment, portable lights,
and fugitive dust. Due to the short duration of the Planned Action, any impacts on ambient air quality
during construction activities are expected to be short term.
Mitigation Measures
The work in area for the up routing of shrubs or vegetation or for the removal of boulders or
temporary or permanent structures shall be sprayed with water.
Every main haul road shall be paved with concrete, bituminous materials, hardcore or metal
plates, and kept clear of dusty materials.
All loose material either stocked or transported shall be provided with suitable covering such as
tarpaulin, etc.
Stack height of DG sets to be kept in accordance with CPCB norms, which prescribes the
minimum height of stack to be provided with each generator.
Executive summary for proposed area of 895.368 Ha (2212.45 acres) at Rallakuppam, Kolladam, Irugulam, Thonduru, Mallavaripalem & Peddetipakkam villages, in Satyavedu & Varadiapalem Mandal, Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh.
13
4.3 Noise Environment
Impacts - Foundation work will involve land excavation, affecting environment by noise. Structural
work, deployment of machinery, approach of road construction and erection of roads will result in
noise and vehicular traffic. Material handling and transportation would also lead to significant noise
pollution. Continuous Exposure of workers to high sound levels may result in annoyance, fatigue.
Albeit annoying, this negative impact will be short-term (limited to the duration of the road
construction works) and is not considered to be a significant threat to the health or wellbeing of
humans.
Mitigation Measures
Construction activities that will generate disturbing sounds should be restricted to normal
working hours.
Workers operating equipment that generates noise should be equipped with noise protection
gear. Workers operating equipment generating noise levels greater than 70dBA continuously for
8 hours or more should use earmuffs.
The construction activities will be restricted to the daytime and no construction will be practiced
during night.
Barricades will be provided around the construction site to confine noise within the site.
4.4 Water Environment
Impacts - Construction phase requires large quantities of water to be used in various processing such
as material preparation in equipment’s. Earthworks, crushing of stones, cutting and modification of
the terrain, alteration of drainage systems and soil erosion are the major factors that affect the water
quality during construction phase. The storage of used engine oil and lubricants as waste materials
has a potential to create impacts if spillage occurs. During rainy season, the run-off water joining the
water sources from nearby areas of the development sites will add more such debris and soil particles
to enhance the level of suspended solids in the water bodies.
Mitigation Measures:
Excavation can be avoided during monsoon season
Check dams shall be provided to prevent construction runoff from the site to the surrounding
water bodies.
Pit latrines and community toilets with temporary soak pits and septic tanks shall be constructed
on the site during construction phase to prevent wastewater from entering the ground water or
surrounding water bodies.
To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers shall be

14
used for storage and transportation of oil/grease.
Controlled withdrawal of groundwater during construction.
4.5 Storm Water Management and Rain Water Harvesting
Storm water drains will be provided to collect water during rains. It would be sized adequately to
prevent flooding of the site. It is proposed to have rain water harvesting structures for recharge of
roof top rainwater and rain water of paved surface at respective buildings. The storm water drains will
be acting as recharge trench as the bottom will not be lined and intermittent check dams will be
provided in the storm water drains to infiltrate maximum amount of water into the ground.
Rain Water Harvesting - Storm water drainage network is being provided during the design stage as
per the CPHEEO guidelines. In the design it shall be ensured that there shall be not any mixing of
storm water and waste effluent. All the storm water will be diverted to rain water – harvesting pits
proposed in the project and thereafter to existing water bodies (lakes, ponds etc.,) located all around
the project site.
Storm Water Drainage - The topography of the proposed project site is like a saucer surrounded by
hillocks on two sides and small catchments are located on the other sides. The terrain & topographical
conditions, the rain water collected from the hills and catchments flow at much higher velocity and
gushes through the un-trained major drains, before reaching to the downstream side of the project
site.
In the course of its journey to the downstream side, the rain water during heavy cyclonic rains.
Operation Phase
4.6 Ambient Air Quality
The potential impact on air quality would mainly be from Industries i.e. Emissions generated during
process activities of the member industries. However, the PM, SO2 and NOx emissions are generated
from proposed development. Emissions of PM10, PM2.5, NOx, SOx from D.G sets and Vehicular traffic
and also dust emission from vehicular movement may also pollute the ambient air quality. The
anticipated key air emissions from the project would be particulate matter, oxides of nitrogen (NOX),
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Carbon monoxide (CO).
Mitigation Measures
Location of DG sets and other emission generating equipment should be decided keeping in
view the predominant wind direction so that emissions do not effect nearby residential areas.
Use of low Sulphur diesel will minimize the emissions from D.G set
Individual residential & industrial developers will have to provide adequate mitigation
measures to curtail emissions from their respective units.
Executive summary for proposed area of 895.368 Ha (2212.45 acres) at Rallakuppam, Kolladam, Irugulam, Thonduru, Mallavaripalem & Peddetipakkam villages, in Satyavedu & Varadiapalem Mandal, Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh.
15
Use of Clean fuel and proper maintenance of the vehicles will also minimize the SPM, NOx, SOx
from the exhaust of the vehicles.
4.7 Noise Environment
Noise pollution is caused due to the various activities which involve the Industrial activities, vehicular
movement, D.G sets etc. All these different sound sources which contribute overall noise in and
around the area are identified and categorized it as a point source and line source.
Mitigation Measures
Proper maintenance of the vehicles and record keeping on the same will reduce the noise
levels.
The noise can be minimized by providing proper acoustic enclosures and isolating, so they will
ensure minimum noise at the receiver’s end.
Noise barrier along the boundary will be in place.
Greenbelt will be provided all along the periphery of boundary for noise arresting
4.8 Water Environment
The Government of Andhra Pradesh has allocated 1 TMC of water via G.O. No.MS.184 through Telugu
Ganga Canal which is sufficient for proposed Phase II operations. The type of treatment process
usually depends on the quality of raw water required quality after treatment. Domestic sewage will be
generated within the site which requires treatment prior to reuse / disposal. Disposal of domestic
waste water generated may also affect the quality. Impacts due to Liquid waste from the proposed
industries will also affect the water quality.
Mitigation Measures
The domestic sewage from the labour camps and toilets will be routed to septic
tanks/treatment units.
Efficient Rain water Management Plan will be adopted to reduce the impact due to surface
runoff
Provide necessary overflow arrangement to maintain the natural drainage system.
4.9 Land Environment
Dumping of municipal solid waste & industrial waste on the land will affect the soil quality. Poor
garbage management would lead to unsanitary conditions including vermin and fly infestation and
odors as well as unsightly conditions.
Mitigation Measures
Residential Solid Waste Management
Executive summary for proposed area of 895.368 Ha (2212.45 acres) at Rallakuppam, Kolladam, Irugulam, Thonduru, Mallavaripalem & Peddetipakkam villages, in Satyavedu & Varadiapalem Mandal, Chittoor District of Andhra Pradesh.
16
Out of total municipal waste, it is expected that desirable amount will be biodegradable, which will be
disposed to authorized recyclers. Since the quantities of such municipal waste is not likely to be huge,
it is further submitted that Sri City has a operational biogas plant which shall be expanded based in
the growing quantities of biodegradable waste.
Commercial Solid Waste Management
Out of total municipal waste, it is expected that larger part will be non-biodegradable. In this case Sri
City proposes to use its existing facility to segregate the waste and sale the same to recycler.
Industrial Waste and its Management
Individual industrial units to collect, store and dispose the hazardous waste generated within their
premises as per the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Tran’s boundary Movement)
Second Amendment Rules, 2016 and its base legislation.
Individual industrial units may consider having an agreement with the nearest Treatment, Storage,
Disposal Facility (TSDF) operator to dispose the hazardous waste. TSDF sites generally have land filling
and incineration facilities area available within their premises.
Non-Hazardous Industrial Waste and its Management
Out of the total industrial waste likely to be produced from manufacturing plants/units of this
Industrial development. This category of waste would not warrant any kind of special treatment or
processing similar to the hazardous waste. Non Hazardous industrial wastes should be stored and
collected separately from the hazardous waste.
It is proposed that the individual Industrial units may consider stocking/piling such waste separately
within their premises not more than 60 days or as recommended by state pollution control board.
4.10 Ecology
Site excavation & leveling will require clearing of existing green cover. There will be a temporary loss
of native species. No endangered / wildlife species were observed to inhabit the study area during the
baseline survey & from secondary data sources.
Mitigation Measures
Development of green belt within the site & around the plant boundary will be carried out in
accordance with the existing nature (native) of vegetation found in the study area; M/s Sri City will be
planting 15m with buffer of greeneries all along the periphery of the project boundary. Required
amount of green belt will be maintained by individual industries of the total area.

17
4.11 Socio economic
Land acquisition & land conversion (agricultural to industrial) was completed in 2010 and further no
forest land was acquired. The land was acquired through AP Government and all compensations have
been paid in consultation with AP and compensation paid is higher than the prevailing market rate.
Hence no R&R is involved. As such, impact due to the projects will be positive on socio-economic
aspects. It will be ensured that the buffer zone of the industrial area will be properly preserved
environmentally in all respects within sustainable limits through necessary monitoring. The project
will be operated with due care for minimizing environmental impacts with proper EMP measures for
pollution control. Direct & Indirect scores of people will be benefited by gainful employment
opportunities through various service related activities connected with the project operations.
5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME
An Environmental monitoring Plan provides feedback about the difference between actual
environmental scenario and the impacts of the project on the environment and helps to judge the
adequacy of the mitigation measures in protecting the environment. A well- defined environmental
monitoring program would be followed for the proposed development of Sri City Industrial Area. It
would be ensured that trained and qualified staff supervisors, sampling and monitoring of ambient
air, DG set and Boiler stack gases, common sewage and trade effluents, noise, etc. to see the
prescribed standards laid down/obtained.
