Noise Level Study

The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to establish the baseline noise levels and assess the impact of the total noise generated by the operation of the activities around it. The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of noise. The environmental impact assessment of noise from construction activity, vehicular traffic can be undertaken by taking into consideration various factors like potential damage to hearing, physiological responses, and annoyance and general community responses. Noise survey should be conducted in the study area while covering 10 km distance from the project site. Noise monitoring will be undertaken for 24 hours at each location. Using hand held instruments sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements and the levels were measured at all locations, recording for 5 minutes at each hour was taken for 24 hours continuously. The day noise levels have been monitored during 6 am to 10 pm and night levels during 10 pm to 6 am at all the sampling locations covered in the study area. The results will be produced as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules 2000 – Ambient Air Quality Standards in respect of Noise.

Water is a vital commodity for the survival of human beings, animals, and vegetation and also for the proper balance of the eco-system. As such any adverse impact on water quality due to the proposed construction will have serious consequences on the environment. Hence it is essential to study the water quality, water table, Rain water harvesting of the regime likely to b influenced by the project and allied activities as per TOR and MoEF, EIA Manual. The water quality of the study will be covered in EIA report.

Sampling and Analysis

Water sampling is to determine the existing quality of ground water around the project area and also to assess the impact from the proposed project. Sampling will be done by following standard guidelines for physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters. Analysis will be carried out by following methods prescribed in “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (21st Edition)”. Samples will be collected from surface water body and bore wells in the study area. The site selection was done taking into account the drainage pattern and locations prone to water contamination. seven water sampling locations will be selected around 10 km distance from the project site.

3.5 Rain Water Harvesting

Keeping in mind the importance of water and it scarcity it is proposed to conserve water by rainwater harvesting by which the subsoil water condition / moisture content is maintained / improved to a great extent. Also it is proposed to harvest rainwater from the terrace area by collecting the same in a rainwater collection sump of suitable capacity and re-used for domestic purposes with the provision of a filtration unit. And the rainwater collected from open paved and landscape area will be collected in the storm water drain which is connected to Rainwater recharging pit; will be included in EIA report in detail.

5.2 Energy Conservation

Energy conservation will be one of the main focuses during the complex planning and operation stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following:

Architectural design

➢ Maximum utilization of solar light will be done. ➢ Maximize the use of natural lighting through design. ➢ The orientation of the buildings will be done in such a way that maximum daylight is available. ➢ The green areas will be spaced, so that a significant reduction in the temperature can take place.

Energy Saving Practices

➢ Energy efficient lamps will be provided within the complex. ➢ Constant monitoring of energy consumption and defining targets for energy conservation. ➢ Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy used for desired comfort levels.

Behavioral Change on Consumption

➢ Promoting resident awareness on energy conservation ➢ Training staff on methods of energy conservation and to be vigilant to such opportunities

Green Belt Development

It is proposed to have tree plantation along the periphery of the site and also to develop lawn and greenery inside the project area. The vegetation for the green belt will be selected from the native species adapted to the local environment.

Landscaping has been taken care of in view of the environment and aesthetics of the surrounding areas. Stress has been laid on providing ample green areas in close conjugation to the hard areas in a manner, that the overall harmony and ambience is maintained. Landscaping takes into account the various aspects of the architectural design. Trees are proposed to be planted to form an integral part of the landscape plantation and their selection is based on their ability to provide shade, flowers and fragrance apart from their high-yielding growth pattern. The addition of shrubs, hedges and ground cover will add to the aesthetics and softness to the hard building surfaces.
