Solvent Recovery System:1. After the reaction is complete the solvents are recovered in a distillation

unit.

2. The distillation unit has two condensers in series (shell and tube type).

3. The first condenser is passed with cooling tower water, while the second

condenser will have chilled brine solution at -20 to -0 oC as coolants.


Page 59 of 263

4. After the vapors are condensed, the condensate along with un-condensed

vapors is passed through a trap which is cooled externally with chilled

water.

5. The vents of condenser and receiver are connected to scrubber system.

6. All the reaction vessels and centrifuges are connected to a common line.

These fumes and exhausts are sucked by ID fan and scrubbed by alkali

solution.

7. The air after scrubbing is let out into the atmosphere and the scrubbed

water is sent to MEE for further treatment.

8. This wet scrubber absorbs acidic vapors, traces of solvents etc. and

purified gas stream is let out into the atmosphere.

9. SLC is achieving around ~95% efficiency in solvent recovery system and it

will be re-used for the process.

The typical solvent recovery system is depicted in Figure 2-6

Justification for number of products and number of reactors:

The existing product is one number, new products are 7 numbers, and thus

the total proposed products are 8 numbers. The number of existing reactors is

15 numbers with different capacities for the purpose of running reaction, work-

up, solvents distillation and product isolation purpose.


Page 70 of 263

The existing product is only one numbers, existing number of reactors are 15,

the number of reactors may seem more with respect to number of existing

products, not all the reactors were in use. All these reactors were present

when factory was acquired by SLC management from Sree Chemicals in

2010.

No additional Machineries & Equipments are required for the proposed

expansion.

Climatic conditions, seismic zone characteristics and natural hazards

3.6 PIA District Profile

The Bidar district is the northern most part of the Karnataka state with

geographical area of 5460 sq.km. It lies between 17°35’ and 18°29’ North

latitude and 76°41’ to 77°39’ East longitude. It is bounded by Nizamabad and

Medak districts of Andhra Pradesh state on the eastern side, Latur and

Osmanabad districts of Maharastra state on the western side, Nanded district

of Maharastra state on the northern side and Gulbarga district on southern

side.

The entire district forms a part of the Deccan Plateau and is made up mostly

of solidified lava. The northern part of the district is characterized by expanses

of level and treeless surface punctuated here and there by flat and undulating

hillocks, black soils and basaltic rocks. The southern half of the district is a

high plateau about 715 m above mean sea level and are well drained. The

average elevation of the district is between 580 to 610 m above mean sea


Page 78 of 263

level. Alluvial deposit is normally found along the banks of the Manjra river

and its main tributaries.

3.6.1 Climatic Conditions

The district experiences semi-arid climate with extreme summer. The dust

storms and severe heat waves are common in the district between April and

May. The temperature begins to rise towards the end of February till May,

which is the hottest month of the year. Coldest months are December and

January. The temperature varies in the district between 20 ºC and 42 ºC.

The year in the district may be divided into summer season from March to

May, southwest monsoon season from June to September, post-monsoon

season from October to November and winter season from December to

February.

Generally, the monsoon sets in the month of June and reaches its climax in

the month of September. The rainfall generally is spread over 39 to 53 days.

Nearly 75% to 80% of the annual rainfall is during the period of Southwest

monsoon. A few showers are also received during the North- East Monsoon,

generally in the month of December.

Bidar district receives an average rainfall of 827 mm. The normal annual

rainfall over thedistrict ranges from 735 mm to 860 mm.

3.7 Natural Resources of Bidar PIA District

3.7.1 Flora & Fauna

Flora: The weeds and climber found in the forest of the district are not of

much economic value. Some different type of grass which grows in the area

are not of nutrient type for the cattle and therefore useful for thatching roof of

huts and houses. The minor forest produce consist tupra (beedi) leaves,

rousa grass, seetaphal, honey, wax, tamarind and mango fruits. The most

common shrubs are Bikke (Gardenia gummifera, Linn) and Gotti or Challe

(Ziziphus xylopyrus willd). They are mostly used for fencing the fields. The


Page 79 of 263

following are the tree species found in the district: Acacia arabica (Jali or

babul), Tamarindus indica, linn (Hunase), Butea frondosa, Palash,

Anogeissus latifolia, wall (Dindiga), and Hardwickia binata.

Fauna: The scantiness of forest accounts for almost a total absence of

denizens of the forest that can be said to belong to the big game variety.

There is no tiger. Occasionally, leopard may be seen. Wolves are found in the

craggy portion of the undulating forest. As many as 30 varieties of bats are

found in the district. Heads of the small deer appears during winter. The more

important among the domesticated animals are the buffalo, the cow, the

sheep, the goat and the camel.Flora and fauna of PIA are discussed in

section 3.11.

3.7.2 Forest Resources

Forest areas of Bidar division are classified as Reserve forests, Protected

forests and Unclassified forests.Bidar Forest division is having 43,592 ha. of

Forest area including

Reserve Forests, Protected forests and Unclassified forests. This area is

about 8.5% of total geographical extent of the district.

3.7.3 Irrigation

In the district the irrigation takes place from surface water and ground water.

The surface water irrigation is through canals, tanks and from medium and

minor irrigation projects. Major irrigation dam has been constructed across the

Karanja river and medium irrigation dam constructed across Chukkenala and

Mullamari rivers. From ground water the irrigation is through dug wells, dug

cum bore wells and bore wells..

3.7.4 Agricultural Resources

The main occupation of the people in the district is agriculture and related

operations.

There are two main seasons in which agricultural practices are carried out.

The two seasons are Kharif and Rabi. Khariff season commences from June

and the crops are harvested in September. Rabi season commences from


Page 80 of 263

September and crops harvested in Febuaray. Themain food crops are Jowar,

Paddy, Wheat, Bajra, Maize and pulses. Groundnut, sugarcane and cotton

are the cash crops.

Cereals- Paddy,Jowar,Bajra,Maize

Pulse- Wheat Black gram, Bengalgram,Green Gram and RedGram\Horticulture-Banana,Mango,Papaya,Grapes,Potato TomatoBrijal,

Cash Crop-Sugarcane,Cotton

Oil Seeds-Groundnut,Sunflower,Soyabean, Saflower,Sesame

Livestock- Livestock rearing plays an important role in the rural economy of

the district. It supplements family income from agriculture and also provides

employment. It is more vital wherever agricultural is predominant in the

society. Farmers are dependent on animal husbandry activities to utilize

agricultural by-products and crop residues to convert them into animal

products with good returns. Bullocks are more prized among the cattle since

they provide the necessary draught power required for agriculture.

3.7.5 Mineral Resources

The minerals found in the area are Bauxite, Kaolin and Red ochre. A deposit

of highly siliceous bauxite clay has been located about three kilometers south

of Basavakalyan. Similar deposits are noticed near Alwal and Kamthana

Villages of Bidar taluk. A large deposit of Kaolin islocated near Kamthana

village. Red ochre deposits are found near Sirsi and Aurad Village. Geology &

3.7.9 Geology of the PIA District

The district is entirely covered by the Deccan trap flows of tertiary period. The

Deccan traps are composed of horizontal flows of basaltic lava. They

generally form flat topped hillocks and terrace like features. The physical

characteristics of individual flow show considerable variation. Some flows are

hard and massive, while others are weathered, soft and friable. The top layers

of the Deccan trap in parts of Bidar are altered to reddish vesicular laterite

forming extensive undulating plateau. The entire study area is covered by the

Laterite formation. Geology map of the PIA district is given in Figure 3-9

Figure 3-9: Geology Map of PIA District

3.7.10 Geomorphology of PIA District

The southern high lands are popularly known as Bidar plateau, which is

made up of laterite. The ground altitudes are varying from 420 to 684 m above

MSL.Bidar plateau has an elevation range from 640 to 684 m above MSL.

The ground surface is flat,gently sloping forming broad valleys and flat topped

hills. Flat topped hills with Step like sidesexhibit the terraced landscape.

Geomorphology Map of study area is given in Figure 3-10 which shows that

major part of the study area is covered by Denudational Origin -

Pediment/Pediplain Complex 76.59%, Structural Origin- Moderately Dissected

Lower Plateau 17.85%, Structural Origin- Highely Dissected Lower Plateau

3.7.11 Hydrogeology of PIA District

The proposed project site is in Kolhar Industrial area and its surroundings are

covered with Laterite formation. The thickness of laterite formation varies 15m

bgl to 45m bgl, below which Deccan Basalt is encountered. On account high

porosity and substantial thickness of laterite, rainwater percolates rapidly and

g ets stored in the aquifer. Runoff is greatly reduced due to the flat nature of

the topography. Generally ground water in laterite formation occurs in water

table condition where as in Deccan Basalts it occurs under semi confined to

confined condition in bore wells. Open wells as well as bore wells are


Page 93 of 263

common in the area. The depth of the dug wells range from 7.0 to 12.0 m bgl

depending upon the topographic location. Depth to water level ranges from 8

to 10 m bgl during pre-monsoon period and i t ranges 3 to 7 m bgl during the

post monsoon period. It is reported that in lateritic formation during the rainy

season ground water levels rise up to 1 to 2m bgl and in some cases the wells

overflow. However during summer season shallow open w ells in laterite

formation go dry. Deep open wells sustain pumping for 4 to 6 hour s in a

day during rainy season & winter season, one to three hours during summer

season. The laterite aquifer around Bidar town is having more thickness(60m

bgl) and al so potential in ground water point of view relatively.

Specific Capacity of open wells varies widely from 3 to 260 liters per minute

per meter of draw down. Generally drinking water supply and agriculture bore

wells having depth range of 100 to 150 m bgl are common in the area. Casing

of the bore well is lowered up t o the depth of 30 to 40 m bgl covering entire

thickness of laterite to avoid collapse of bore well. Success of the bore wells

depends upon the number of basalt flows encountered in the bore well and

the thickness of the vesicular basalt in each flow. Yield of bore wells range

from meager to 5.0 liters/second. Hydrogeology of Bidar District is given in

Figure 3-11. The geology of Project Site covers of alluvium and having an

yield upto 5 litres per second.

3.7.12 Drainage Pattern in PIA District

The drainage pattern in the district varies from sub-dendritic to dendritic and

some streams have a sub parallel drainage to the main river. Major parts of

the district are covered by Godavari basin, drained by its twomajor tributaries

the Manjara and the Karanja Rivers. The Manjara River is Perennial River

Project Site


Page 95 of 263

flows over a distance of 155 km in the central parts of the district and flow

easterndirection with a meandering course. The Karanja River flows in

northern-westerndirection for 74km with Karanja reservoir being major water

source. The river Mullamari takes its origin near Matala village of

Basavakalyan taluk flows from west toeast length of 38 Sqkm and then flows

into Gulbarga district and joins the river Kagna. The Kagna River is one of the

main tributary of Bhima river. Besides, there are severalstreams, which are of

ephemeral in nature. The drainage pattern in the district varies from sub-

dendritic to dendritic and some streams have a sub parallel drainage to

themain river. Drainage map of the study area showing 10Km is given in

Figure 3-12

Figure 3-12: Drainage Map of the Study area

3.7.13 Soils in PIA District

The two important types of soils noticed in the district are black soils and

lateritic soils. Black Soils: Major parts of the district are comprised of black

soils and are derived from Deccan traps. These are deep black in colour and


Page 96 of 263

their texture varies from loam to clay. Lime concentration in his soil is high

resulting in poor infiltration capacities. Their infiltration characteristics are poor

to moderate. This type of soils covers mainly in areas lying below 610 m

contour and along the valley portions.

Lateritric Soils: A Latertic soil is confined to the central portion of the district.

Latertic soils are pale to bright red in colour and clay to clayey loam in nature.

This soil has moderate to good infiltration characteristics. This type of soils

covers mainly in areas lying above 610 m contour.

The study falls in the soil order of Entisols and Vertisols type. They are in

semiarid to moist ares. They formed primarily under forest or mixed vegetative

cover and are productive for most crops. Entisols are commonly found at the

site of recently deposited materials (e.g., alluvium), or in parent materials

resistant to weathering (e.g. sand). Entisol soils also occur in areas where a

very dry or cold climate limits soil profile development. Productivity potential of

Entisols varies widely, from very productive alluvial soils found on floodplains,

to low fertility/productivity soils found on steep slopes or in sandy areas.

Vertisols are usually very dark in color, with widely variable organic matter

content (1 – 6%). They typically form in Ca and Mg rich materials such as

limestone, basalt, or in areas of topographic depressions that collect these

elements leached from uplands. Vertisols are most commonly formed in

warm, subhumid or semi-arid climates, where the natural vegetation is

predominantly grass, savanna, open forest, or desert shrub. Soil Map of

Karnataka is given in Figure 3-13

3.8 Air Environment

Baseline ambient air quality assessment gives the status in the vicinity of site

and is an indispensable part of environmental impact assessment studies.

Significant changes, in predominant winds and weather conditions are

observed in winter, summer and post-monsoon seasons apart from the local

topographic influences. The baseline status of air environment in the study

area is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance programme

3.8.1 Meteorological Conditions

The regional air quality is influenced by the meteorology of that region. The

principal weather parameters that influence the concentration of the air

pollutants in the surroundings are wind speed, wind direction and

temperature. The meteorological data is useful for proper interpretation of the

baseline data. It is used as input for air quality dispersion models for

predicting the post project environmental scenario i.e. ground level

concentrations due to proposed utilities like boiler & DG sets, etc.

3.8.2 Meteorological Data Collection

Available secondary data pertaining to the meteorological parameters was

obtained from the IMD Climatalogical tables. In addition, baseline

meteorological data (primary data) was generated during the Post-monsoon

Season (December 2016 - February 2017). The methodology adopted for

monitoring surface observations is as per the standard norms laid down by

Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) i.e. IS:8829 and Indian Meteorological

Department (IMD).

3.8.3 General Meteorological Scenario based on IMD Data

The nearest Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) station located to project

site is Bangalore. The Climatological data for Bidar(17 32’ N and 77o 32’ E),

published by the IMD, based on daily observations at 08:30 and 17:30 hour

IST for a 30 year period, is presented in the following sections on the

meteorological conditions of the region. The monthly variations of the relevant

meteorological parameters are reproduced in Table 3-4. Windrose drawn for

3.8.5.4 Observations

Maximum concentrations of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO, Pb, O3 , NH3 , C6H6,

C20 H12, As, Ni, VOC, Cl, HCl, HBr & H2S are well within the National Ambient

Air Quality Standards for Industrial, Commercial and Residential areas at all

monitoring locations during the study period

3.9 Noise Environment

The prevailing ambient noise level at a particular location is nothing but the

resultant (total) of all kinds of noise sources existing at various distances

around that location. The ambient noise level at a location varies continuously

depending on the type of surrounding activities.

Ambient noise levels have been established by monitoring noise levels at

eight (08) locations in and around 10Km distance from project area during,

December 2016-Febuary 2017 using precision noise level meter. The noise

monitoring locations in the study area were selected after giving due

consideration to the various land use categories. The land use categories

include commercial, residential, rural and sensitive areas. Noise levels were

recorded on an hourly basis for one complete day at each location using pre-


Page 118 of 263

calibrated noise levels. A map showing the monitoring locations is given as

Figure 3-30 Results and Discussions

Based on the recorded hourly noise levels at each monitoring location, the

day equivalent (Ld) and night equivalent (Ln) were calculated;

Ld: Average noise levels between 6:00 hours to 22.00 hours.

Ln: Average noise levels between 22:00 hours to 6.00 hours.

The Day-Night (Ldn) equivalent noise levels were calculated using the US

Environmental Protection Agency formula:

Ldn = 10 Log [0.0416 {16 (10Ld/10) + 8 (10Ln+10/10)}]

The comparison of day equivalent noise levels (Ld) and night equivalent noise

levels (Ln) with the respective CPCB stipulated noise standards for various

land use categories are shown in the Table 3-16.

Day equivalent noise levels (Ld) ranged between 53.8 dB(A) to 78.2 dB

(A)

Night equivalent noise levels (Ln) ranged between 46.4 dB (A) to 73.1 dB

(A).

The field observations during the study period indicate that the ambient noise

levels in both Industrial area and in Residential area noise are slightly

exceeded the limit prescribed by MoEF & CC.

3.10 Water Environment

3.10.1 Surface Water Resources

The district has two river basins, the Godavari and the Krishna. Major parts of

the district are covered by Godavari basin, drained by its two major tributaries

the Manjra and the Karanja Rivers. The Godavari basin extends to over 4,411

Km2 of which Manjra covers up to 1,989 Km2 and Karanja up to 2,422 Km2.

The Manjra River is Perennial River flows over a distance of 155 Km in the

central part of the district and flows in eastern direction with a meandering

course. Mainly the source of water in the region is from the groundwater.

There only few water bodies within the study area. There are no Perennial

River flows within the study area. Photographs of existing major water bodies

are given in Figure 3-25

recommendations of ‘Ground Water Resources Estimation Methodology - 97

(GEM -97) considering water shed as a unit. Water shed and hydrological

boundaries do not match with the administrative boundaries. As a result

different parts of taluk fall in different watersheds having different stages of

ground water development and categorization. Pro-rata approach to

consolidate the watershed data into Talukwise data gives only details on

ground water resource, draft, and additional irrigation potential. Pro rata

approach cannot be applied for taluk, as a unit, as far as stage of

development and categorization is concerned. It is observed that Aurad and

Humanabad taluks are completely under safe category. 88% of Bhalki and

91% of Basavakalyan taluks are safe and 79% of Bidar taluk is safe while rest

of 21% comes under over exploited area. No area comes under the category

of semi-critical. The overall stage of ground water development in the district

has reached 56.68%. Thus regionally the situation appears to be quite good,

however few areas of the district have attained over exploited stage. In such

areas site specific recharge structures coupled with water conservation

measures are the need of the hour.

The groundwater potential of the gross geographical area of the basin is

estimated on pro-rata basis from the district-wise groundwater resources-

2008 published by the Central Groundwater Board (CGWB) as given in Table3-20. Status of Ground Water Utilisation of Bidar District is given in Figure3-26

3.10.2.1 Ground water Quality

Total Eleven (11) ground water monitoring locations were identified for

assessment in different villages around the project site based on the usage of

sub surface water by the settlements/ villages in the study area. The

groundwater results are compared with the desirable and permissible water

quality standards as per IS: 10500 (2012) for drinking water. Groundwater

quality monitoring locations and results are given in Table 3-21 and Table3-22. A map showing the monitoring locations is given as Figure 3-32.

3.12 Flora & Fauna

Study of biological environment is one of the most important aspects for

Environmental Impact Assessment, in view of the need for conservation of

environmental quality and biodiversity.

Generally, biological communities are the good indicator of climatic and

edaphic factors. Studies on biological aspects of ecosystems are important in

environmental impact assessment for safety of natural flora and fauna

information on the impact of environmental stress on community structure

serves as an inexpensive and efficient early warning system to check the

damage to a particular ecosystem. The biological environment includes

mainly terrestrial ecosystem and aquatic ecosystem.

The study of terrestrial ecology within the study area of 10 Km radius has

been carried out through field investigation as well as Secondary data

collected.

3.12.1 Flora

This section describes terrestrial ecology of the area based on

reconnaissance survey and information gathered from secondary data

available for the area. List of of flora reported/observed in the study area is

Schools: As per the constitution in India, all children up to the age fourteen to be

given free and compulsory education. . Also through the Right of Children to Free

and Compulsory Education Act, 2009, free and compulsory education to all children

of the age of six to fourteen years has become a right to free and compulsory

education in a neighborhood school till completion of elementary education.

The Incessant efforts taken by the Government and the department have shown the

better results like good enrollment, less dropout rate, eradication of child labour.

The project area has access to the primary education facilities. Bidar is being an

urban , it housed many higher educational institutions. The following Table 3-33shows available school education facilities in the Bidar block.

3.13.2.6 Tourism within the Study Area

Bidar is an important historical town. This small town was once the capital of

the erstwhile Bahamani Kingdom (1347-1526) in the medieval period. A

number of historical monuments dating back to 15th century can be found

here. These monuments reflect the glory of the Bahamani rulers.The below

mentioned are important tourism sites:

Gurudwara Nanak Jhira Sahib, which was built in the year 1948 and, is

dedicated to the first Sikh Guru Nanak Dev Ji. The gurudwara comprises of

Darbar Sahib, Diwan Hall and Langar Hall Opposite to the front stairs of the


Page 160 of 263

gurudwara, there is a holy water tank. It is believed that a holy dip in the tank

is enough to cleanse the body and soul, of the devotee of all the sins.

Bidar Fort was built by Sultan Alla-Ud-Din Bahman of the Bahmani Dynasty.,

when his capital was moved from Gulbarga to Bidar in 1427. The fort is a

specimen of the Persian architectural style having a. 1.21 km in length and

0.80 km in breadth, this fort has a haphazard quadrangular layout.

Surrounded by three miles long walls and, comprising 37 bastions, this fort

has five imposing entrances or Darwazas.

Narasimha Jhira Cave Temple is popularly known as the Jharani

Narasimha Temple. A self-manifested deity, Narasimha Dev is enshrined

within this cave temple. Within the cave, a stream of water is said to be

flowing continuously since the foundation of the temple. Devotees have to

walk waist deep in the water for 300 metres for the darshan of Lord

Narasimha.

Observation:

The area is basically an agrarian with hard working peasants

The main crops are Red gram, Jowar, Bengal gram, Sesamum and other

Horticultural crops.

The majority of the farmers are marginal farmers and the water source for

farming is by rain- fed.

Farmers are welcoming industries, but their main concern is pollution. They

express unhappiness about ground water depletion and quality of the water.

They welcome agriculture based industries.

As the agricultural occupation is non-remunerative, they need some skill

development program for shifting to non-agricultural activities.

Women workforce is getting wasted due to lack of opportunities during non-

farming period. The Women Work Participation rate is low as 26.76 ( Bidar

taluk) compared to that of district and State. Consultation photographs are

4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATIONMEASURES

4.1 Introduction

Environmental Impact is any change in the environmental attributes, adverse or

beneficial, caused or induced by the proposed action or set of actions. The

predicted adverse impacts during each stage of project development are

superimposed over the baseline status of the existing environmental quality to infer

the scenario of environmental conditions in the post-project stage. The main

purpose of identifying the impacts is that it helps in adopting appropriate mitigation

measures for the adverse consequences if any.

Predicting and evaluating the various significant impacts that are likely to occur. The

impacts on the environmental indices viz. air, water, soil, noise, biological and

socioeconomic conditions are scrutinized methodically and assessed.

The most likely impacts on the environment due to the proposed project need to be

appraised during the two different phases of the project namely pre-

operation/construction phase and operation phase. The particulars on impacts that

could be triggered on the environmental attributes by the activities of the proposed

project are discussed below.

4.2 OPERATION PHASE

From an environmental perspective, this phase is of paramount significance due to

its potential to invoke long-term impacts. The adverse effects that are likely to occur

during this operational phase of the project are: Air Pollution (gaseous emissions),

Effluent generation, noise generation, solid waste generation.

4.2.1 Land Environment

The land use of the existing area is already for industrial use. The proposed

expansion is within the existing facility hence there will be no change in land use

pattern.

4.2.1.1 Discharges on Land-Impact


of 263

Industrial effluents from the plant will be stored in a collection tank and neutralized

and then sent to MEE, Condensate will be recycled to cooling tower and boiler feed

though softener. MEE concentrate will be sent to Centrifuge, Salt from Centrifuge

will be sent to TSDF (KSPCB authorization for HWM Annexure 11 and Agreement

copy made with TSDF is enclosed as Annexure 12).

The existing system is ZLD and the proposed system will also be Zero Liquid

Discharge (ZLD). There will be no discharge to land environment.

4.2.1.2 Mitigation Measures

Periodic maintenance and check of wastewater conveyance pipelines

Attempt to restore by replacing a part or putting together the torn or broken

parts of the conveyance pipeline in case of any leakage is detected.

Necessary preventive measures for spillages from pipelines, such as

surface RCC channels along the pipelines are adopted.

Lining of effluent collection tank/ETP common guard pond.

Treated wastewater quality shall be ensured as per standards before using it

for various requirements.

With regards to ETP-There will be institutional arrangement to check the

efficiency of Zero Liquid Discharge.

4.2.2 Impacts- Soil Contamination

Potential impacts on land environment are envisaged due to hazardous and non-

hazardous wastes generated due to various operations in the project site. Sludge

generated during production process, chemical waste including toxic waste, burnt

fuel waste, oil slurry, MEE salts from centrifuge etc are the source of hazardous

waste. Sludge from ETP will be generated. Poor management of such

materials/wastes from the operations is a potential risk of soil contamination.

4.2.2.1 Soil – Mitigation Measures

Good housekeeping and best practices of waste handling shall be adopted to

eliminate/minimise the risks of soil contamination. The wastes generated will be

stored in temporary storage facility and transferred to nearby Treatment, Storage

and Disposal Facility (TSDF) and also to the approved vendors of Karnataka State

of 263

Pollution Control Board (KSPCB) landfill and Co-processing. However, waste

minimization techniques will be adopted in order to minimize the generation of

wastes.

4.2.3 Air Environment

Base line data reveals that ambient air quality in the study area for the Parameters

PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO, Pb, O3 , NH3 , C6H6, C20 H12, As, Ni, VOC, Cl, HCl, HBr,

H2S & HF are well within the permissible Limits as prescribed by the National

Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) for Industrial Area, Residential, Rural &

Other areas.

The major air pollution sources from the industry are DG sets, boilers and reactors.

The DG set and boiler sources are provided with stacks of adequate height so as to

disperse the emanating flue gases containing suspended particulate matters, oxides

of sulfur and nitrogen without affecting the ground level concentrations. The

emissions generated from the reactors are scrubbed out by wet scrubbers.

4.2.3.1 Meteorological Data

The site specific meteorological data for three months from Dec 2016 to Feb 2017

was obtained from secondary sources. Other data included for AERMET were daily

wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity, air pressure,

precipitation, and solar radiation recorded during the period. AERMET reformats

meteorological data so that it can be used as input for AERMOD model.

4.2.3.2 AERMET Process

For the 3 phase AERMET processing of the meteorological data, specifications of

the land use in the area are required to determine the terrain roughness for

modeling. The land use was characterized for in and around the site. The surface

characteristics for the site and surroundings were selected and used to calculate the

albedo, Bowen ratio and surface roughness parameter.

The meteorological data were processed in the AERMET software to generate wind

flow pattern & to generate surface meteorological data and profile meteorological

data in a prescribed format that can be fed to AERMOD for modeling.

of 263

4.2.3.3 AERMOD ProcessAERMOD is a steady-state plume model. In the stable boundary layer (SBL), it

assumes the concentration distribution to be Gaussian in both the vertical and

horizontal. In the convective boundary layer (CBL), the horizontal distribution is also

assumed to be Gaussian, but the vertical distribution is described with a bi-

Gaussian probability density function (pdf). This behavior of the concentration

distributions in the CBL was demonstrated by Willis and Deardorff (1981) and

Briggs (1993). Additionally, in the CBL, AERMOD treats “plume lofting,” whereby a

portion of plume mass, released from a buoyant source, rises to and remains near

the top of the boundary layer before becoming mixed into the CBL. AERMOD also

tracks any plume mass that penetrates into the elevated stable layer, and then

allows it to re-enter the boundary layer when and if appropriate. For sources in both

the CBL and the SBL AERMOD treats the enhancement of lateral dispersion

resulting from plume meander. The emissions from existing (Table 4-1) and

proposed stacks (Table 4-2) are estimated and only proposed stack emissions are

used for the air dispersion modeling. Maximum incremental value for SO2, NOx and

PM for 24 hourly average is shown in Table 4-3 to Table 4-5 and Ground Level

Concentration (GLC) for proposed stacks is given in Figure 4-1 to Figure 4-3.

4.2.4 Conclusion:

It was observed that the maximum concentration observed due to proposed

expansion for PM, SO2 and NOx are 0.18µg/m3, 0.0014µg/m3 and 2.74µg/m3. So

it can be concluded that even after the expansion of the plant the impact envisaged

is minimum. The total increase in concentrations above baseline status due to

proposed stacks is estimated and the percentage increase is summarized in Table4-6.

4.2.5 Mitigation Measures All air pollution control measures like scrubbers/bag filters has to be provided

by the industry.

Ambient air quality monitoring will be carried out regularly at selected

locations in order to check and compare the predicted concentrations with

the measured concentrations. NAAQS Exceedance if any may be checked

thoroughly and adequacy/performance of Air Pollution Control measures

shall be reviewed.

Water sprinkling shall be carried out on road surfaces in the project area.

Adequate Greenbelt width is provided.

of 263

Trucks with cargo susceptible for fugitive suspension will be covered with

tarpaulin. All the vehicles will be periodically checked to ensure compliance

to the emission standards.

In addition, EMC will ensure that unit will be with essential pollution control

measures as to be stated by KSPCB in their CFO.

4.2.6 Potential Impact of Noise Environment

Noise generation sources during operation phase is classified into two categories:

Stationary sources due to operation of heavy duty machineies at the project

site like Boilers, Compressors, DG sets, Pumps etc.

Mobile sources corresponding to mainly vehicular traffic for staff mobilization,

materials, material transportation, liquid fuel transportation to project site, etc.

Vibrations are expected to be generated by various activities associated with

the proposed project during operational phase. The impact of vibrations

beyond the site would be negligible during normal operation phase. However,

the impacts on workers engaged in the plant area would be considerable due

to occupational exposure. The proposed fixed major equipment/units such as

boiler house, compressors, pumps, DG sets etc., also generate vibrations

during operational phase and may cause exposures to the workers/operators

engaged at these units.

4.2.6.1 Mitigation Measures The major noise generating equipment like Compressors, DG sets, Boiler

Feed water pumps etc. will be enclosed in an acoustic enclosure designed for

an insertion loss of 25 dB (A) and silencers to other equipment etc.

Major noise generating equipment will be designed with 85 dB (A) ensuring

cumulative noise at 1.0 m remains at 85 dB (A).

The occupational noise exposure to the workers in the form of eight hourly

time weighted average will be maintained well within the prescribed

Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) standard limits.

Adequate PPE will be provided to the staff exposing to noise risks.

Acoustic silencers will be provided in equipment wherever necessary.

of 263

Acoustic design with sound proof glass panelling will be provided for critical

operator cabins / control rooms of individual modules as well as central

control facilities.

Use of personal protective equipments/devices such as ear-muffs, ear plugs

etc. will be strictly enforced for the workers engaged in high noise areas.

Periodic maintenance of the equipment to be used in the developmental

works will be carried out. Worn out parts will be replaced and rotating parts

will be lubricated to minimise noise emissions.

Implementation of greenbelt for noise attenuation will be undertaken: shrub

plantation; landscaping with horticulture; and Tree plantation at vehicle

parking areas and along approach roads.

Ambient noise levels will be monitored at regular intervals during operational

phase of the project.

Low vibration generating machines/equipment will be selected to meet

international standards and foundations will be so designed to minimise

vibrations and secured properly.

Vibration generating sources and their platforms should be maintained

properly to minimize vibrations and related impacts.

Various standards pertaining to vibrations are formulated by statutory bodies

like Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) and Director General of Mines Safety

(DGMS), which is being practiced would be continued to mitigate the workers’

health effects due to vibrations.

Vibration dampers will be provided around the source of generation.

Transportation Management Plan will be prepared and the transportation of

construction materials will be planned in line with the same.

4.2.7 Impact on Existing Water Resources

During operation phase, water requirement of proposed units will be mainly for

process, condenser cooling water, DM water for steam generation, service water,

domestic use, fire water, green belt etc.

The water requirement for the existing facility is 5 KLD, which is met from private

water suppliers. The additional water requirement due to the expansion will be 19.8

of 263

KLD, and thus the total water requirement will be 24.8 KLD. The total water

requirement will be met from private water suppliers and KIADB.

Wastewater generated from the project will be treated in ETP and Zero Liquid

Discharge will be maintained, hence the impact due to the proposed project is very

minimal.

4.2.7.1 Impacts to Surface Water Bodies

The surface water and groundwater are the life line of the villages. All the ponds in

the area are working as recharge sites for the under lying groundwater and hence

the surface water and ground water systems are acting like a single unit and

therefore cannot be seen in Isolation.

Any contamination in surface drainage due to operation of project could collapse the

system and will have serious impacts to the water resources especially the

availability of potable water in the PIA area. The impacts will be high in the core

area especially the 5.0 km radius area. Therefore the efficiency of the Zero waste

discharge will be ensured with proper regulatory and institutional arrangements.


Though the proposed development will not draw Groundwater, the following

measures proposed as a part of development to improve the ground water scenario

and also to ensure that ground water is not contaminated.

Strategic plans such as implementing the following structures for rainfall harvesting

and groundwater recharging purposes in project site will be adhered.

Recharge pits

Only roof-top rain water harvesting

Rainwater storage ponds/tanks

Storage cum recharge ponds

Monitoring of water quality and groundwater level variations in the project site.

4.2.8 Impact due to Wastewater Generation

The source of wastewater generation from the project is as follows:

of 263

Industrial process wastewater/effluent

Boiler and cooling water blow down

Domestic wastewater/Sewage

Equipment cleaning and floor washings, etc.

The details of wastewater quantities to be generated from the project are discussed

in Section 4.2.8.2. The untreated wastewater if discharged into nearby surface

water may affect the surface water and/or if disposed off on land without treatment

may pollute the ground and surface water.


Various mitigation measures are proposed to be adopted to minimize the impact if

any on the water environment due to the wastewater/runoff generation during the

operation phase of the project.

Institutional arrangement for monitoring of water by pollution.

Corrective and preventive measures if any contamination happens.

Monitoring should ensure early determination of any threats to water

resources in terms of contamination.

If contaminated, proper expertise will be brought to schematize the various

recharge mechanism to reduce or nullify the impact effects.

4.2.8.2 Wastewater Quality and Quantity


Industrial effluents from the plant will be stored collection tank and neutralized, and

then sent to MEE, Condensate will be recycled to cooling tower and boiler feed

though softener. MEE concentrate will be sent to Centrifuge, Salt from Centrifuge

will be sent to TSDF (Agreement copy made with TSDF is enclosed as Annexure12).

The existing system is ZLD and the proposed system will also be Zero Liquid

Discharge (ZLD). There will be no discharge to land environment.

The break up in terms of volumetric contribution (for effluent & sewage) is given inthe below Table 4-7.

of 263

The oil contaminated water, if any will be sent to oil water separator;

separated oil will be sent to KSPCB approved vendors and water will be sent

to ETP for further treatment. The treated water will be re used for various

applications.

4.2.9 Biological Environment

4.2.9.1 Impact on Migratory Paths for Wildlife and Forest BlocksThere are no identified migratory paths for major and minor wildlife in the project

site and the study area. The identified fauna which are observed at the project site

and in the study area are local migrants only. Therefore the proposed project

operations are not likely to have any adverse impact on the paths for avid-fauna.

4.2.9.2 Mitigation Measures Discharge of wastes/wastewater without treatment into the water bodies during

the operation phase would not be allowed.

Awareness will be given to workers about the importance and conservation of

terrestrial ecology and biodiversity.

4.2.10 Solid Waste Management

4.2.10.1 Impact due to Solid Waste Generation

During operation phase, various types of solid waste are likely to be generated

which can be broadly categorized as Hazardous Waste and Non-hazardous Waste.

Further, the generated solid waste generation may include Biodegradable,

Recyclable and Inert compounds. The details of solid waste generation and its

management proposed are discussed in Chapter 2, Section 2.6.5. If the solid

waste generated is not properly managed and disposed in unauthorized manner, it

will impact on soil quality, groundwater and air quality.

4.2.10.2 Solid Waste Management during Operation Phase

Strict guidelines will be put in place in order to manage the solid waste generation

during the operational phase of the development. The main goals of the guidelines

will be to ensure adopting recycling techniques and encouraging sorting of solid

waste at source into organic and inorganic wastes. Waste management is given in

Figure 4-4.

6.3 Environmental Management Plan during Operation Phase

The control measures which will be imposed to mitigate the impacts caused during

the operation phase of the project are as follows:

1. Periodic monitoring of the environmental attributes to check the adequacy and

effectiveness of the pollution control measures employed.

2. The major sources of emission are DG sets, boiler stack, production block

(reactors) scrubber stacks which will be of adequate height to disperse the

pollutants. Adequate greenbelt has been developed in the existing facility to

mitigate the pollution arising due to movement of vehicles. Regular monitoring

of DG-Stack and Ambient air quality are carried out.

3. Appropriate treatment and disposal method is followed for the liquid effluents

generated in the existing plant and proper treatment and disposal procedure is

proposed for the liquid effluents of proposed new facility. The detailed waste

treatment and disposal methods are discussed in the Chapter 4, Section4.2.8.2.

4. Noise pollution is curbed by providing acoustic enclosures for D.G sets, boiler

and reactors; thereby the ambient noise levels is maintained below the CPCB

limits of 75 dB (A) for industrial areas. Personal protective equipments are

provided to those workers who work in the areas of high noise.

5. Rainwater harvesting system will be implemented for the sustainability of

underground water system.

6. Proper maintenance of greenbelt will be ensured.

7. Adequate safety measures conforming to the occupational health and safety

policy will be taken to prevent accidents/hazards to the workers.

8. Necessary energy saving measures like fixing of LED lamps, operational

schedule, awareness program etc., will be made.

of 263

6.4 Post Project Environmental Monitoring

It is imperative that the Project Authorities set up regular monitoring stations to

assess the quality of the neighboring environment after the commissioning of the

project. An environmental monitoring programme is important as it provides useful

information and helps to:

Verify the predictions on environmental impacts presented in this study assist in

detecting the development of any unwanted environmental situation, and thus,

provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures, and identify the

effectiveness of mitigative measures suggested in the EMP.

Monitoring Program

After commissioning of the project, post project monitoring of environmental

parameters will be carried out at regular intervals. The monitoring programme in

different areas of the environment has been based on the findings of the impact

assessment studies. The post project monitoring programme including areas,

number and location of monitoring stations, frequency of sampling and parameters

to be covered is summarized in Table 6-1.

Fugitive emission control

Sri Lakshmi Chemicals has some action plan to control fugitive emission fromreactors. The following is the action plan

The outfall of reactor is connected to primary condenser,

Then outlet of primary condenser is passes through the secondary condenser,emission passes through condenser will get condense.

The condensed emission will be recycled to process.

From vapor condenser cloud it again recycled to reactor,

In case of leakage of emission due to damage will detect manually and repairhappen.

Thus the fugitive emission is arrested

Odour Control

All the waste generated are properly stored and disposed.

of 263

The emissions are properly vent out through stacks of adequate height.

All the chemicals including products are handled in closed manner to control

the odour.

9.4.2 Noise Environment

The major source of noise pollution in the industry is DG sets, boilers, reactors, Air

compressors, Boiler feed water pumps. DG sets are provided with integral acoustic

enclosures. Also the ambient noise levels will be ensured within the ambient

standards by inbuilt design of mechanical equipment and buildings apart from

vegetation along the periphery and at various locations within the industry premises.

The plant will be specifically designed with due consideration on minimizing noise

pollution. Higher noise levels will be felt only near the active working areas and

therefore the workers are provided with personal protective equipment as a safety

measure.

Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact of operation phase of

the project on the surrounding noise environment.

i. All the noise generating equipments will be designed / operated to ensure

that noise level does not exceed 75-70 dB (A) at plant boundary as per the

requirement of Central / State Pollution Control Board.

ii. Noise generating sources will be maintained properly to minimize noise

generated by them.

iii. Wherever feasible, acoustic enclosures will be provided for compressors, DG

iv. Compliance with noise control norms will be given due importance at the time

of purchase of various equipments and it will be mentioned while placing the

purchase orders and guarantee for noise standards will be sought from

suppliers.

v. Moreover, all the personnel working in other high noise generating areas too

will be provided with sufficient ear protecting devices.

vi. Green belt will act as a noise barrier.

vii. Training will be imparted to personnel to generate awareness about effects of

noise and importance of using PPEs.

Zero liquid discharge system will be maintained in the facilities. The wastewater

management is detailed in the Chapter 4 & Section 4.2.8.2.

9.4.4 Solid and Hazardous waste Management

Solid and hazardous wastes generated in the facility and their disposal methods are

detailed in the Chapter 2 & Section 2.6.5.

9.4.4.1 Solvent Recovery

Solvent Recovery & Re-Use is detailed in the Chapter 2 and Section 2.4.5.

9.4.4.2 Land Environment

Following measures are proposed to mitigate negative impact during operational

phase of the project on the land environment.

Air emissions are effectively controlled by use of scrubbers and therefore

deposition of air pollutants in and around the premises and surrounding area is

not envisaged.

Disposal of solid waste is carried out through authorized vendor.

Plant is being maintained ZLD. No effluent is discharged directly on land without

treatment., impact on the land environment is not envisaged.

Hazardous materials are prohibited to be drained or dumped in the premises.

Accidental spills shall be cleaned, reported and monitored.

Thus, no impact on land is envisaged due to discharge of gaseous emission,

solid waste or liquid effluent from the proposed increment in the production

capacity.

9.4.5 Ecology

The proposed project is equipped with the treatment system and the treated effluent

will be recycled to cooling tower and boiler feed through softener. Solid wastes

generated during the operation phase are disposed off through authorized vendor

of 263

and hence no impact is anticipated due to solid waste in and around the site. The

air pollution control devices are already in place in the facility will control release of

air pollutants to a greater extent, however green belt consisting of shrubs and trees

around the periphery of the site has been planned to intercept and arrest air

pollutants released at various heights and to attenuate the increased quantity of air

pollutants released into the environment. It is expected that the ecology of the

region is preserved by these mitigation measures.

9.4.6 Socio – Economic Environment

Due to the proposed project various modes of indirect employment i.e.

transportation, increased business opportunities to shopkeepers, small scale

business entrepreneurs etc. will help for the development of local area.

9.9 Rainwater Harvesting & Groundwater Recharging

The total amount/quantity of water i.e., received in the form of rainfall over an area

is called the rain water endowment of that area, out of which the amount of water

that can be effectively harvested is called the rain water harvesting potential.

The collection efficiency accounts for the fact that all the rain water falling over an

area cannot be effectively harvested due to losses on account of evaporation,

spillage or run off etc.,

The rain water harvesting/recharging pits along the inner periphery of the boundary

will be provided. Each recharging pit will be of 3x3x2m (LBD) dimension. These

recharging pits are filled with graded media comprising of boulder at bottom and

with coarse aggregates to facilitate percolation of harvested rainwater to recharge

ground water table. The recharge pits are interconnected in such a way that the rain

led to the first recharge pit is also led to the next pit. Rain water harvesting is the

of 263

techniques through which rain water is captured from the roof catchments with

closed pipe system (without mixing surface water to avoid the spillage

contamination) into the recharge pits. The rain water harvesting and storm water

management layout is provided in the Annexure 8.

10. SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

10.1 Summary

An environmental Impact Assessment Study has been carried out and assessed for

the proposed project based on the TOR and baseline quality data collected for the

study area. Identification and anticipation of the potential environmental impacts due

to the proposed project with a delineation of appropriate impact mitigation measures

in an Environmental Management plan during both construction and operation

phases is provided in the EIA report prepared.

The proposed project will ensure that the industrial activities relevant to the project

are environmentally sound with no adverse impacts posed on the natural

environment in the surrounding area.

The marginal impacts that might be caused by the proposed activity will be

mitigated by the existing pollution control and environmental management

measures.

In a true and a larger sense, in view of the considerable benefits from the project

with no major impacts, the proposed project is said to be more beneficial to the

nation.

The EMP that will be implemented for the operation phase of the project will include:

Air Pollution control and management

Noise Control and Management

Hazardous and Solid waste Management

Sewage treatment and Management

Effluent treatment and Management

Hazardous and solid waste management

Risk Assessment and Onsite emergency Plan

of 263

In order to effectively implement the EMP planned, the environmental management

system will be fully adhered.

10.2 Conclusion

The baseline study carried out for the study area indicates that all the physical,

chemical and biological characteristics of the environmental attributes in the

surrounding area are mostly within the permissible limits except few minor

exceedences.

Based on this environmental assessment, the possible impacts during post-project

phase are anticipated and the necessary adequate control measures are formulated

to meet the statutory compliances.

With very minute negative impacts, the project positively leads to commercial

business opportunities, Employment opportunities, increased revenue and

infrastructural development.

Thus this project may kindly be granted Environmental Clearance.
