Phase- Grampanchayat, would offer livelihood skilled employment and non- II would be 80 (Skilled – 10; semiskilled – Rapur Mandal, employment to the skilled employment to enhance 30; unskilled – 40). Phase – III would be 40 SPSR Nellore District surrounding villagers. He also their socio-economic status. (skilled – 5; semiskilled – 5; unskilled – 30). demanded the District Administration to ensure that Once all three phases of the project are land would be allocated to the implemented, the manpower requirement is poor people in their Panchayat estimated to be 220 (100 from Phase – I, 80 thus he expressed his grievance from Phase – II, and 40 from Phase – III). as a public representative that justice would be done in this Priority shall be given to the locals both for regard. skilled employment and non-skilled employment to enhance their socio-economic status. 2 Sri Chandrasekhar, He expressed his concerns The proposed project has been The negative impact on air environment from R/o. Raviguntapalli, over the Environmental very carefully designed such the proposed project is very minimal. The Rapur Mandal, Impact due to the that there will be zero or hazardous waste incinerator(s) will be SPSR Nellore District establishment of the proposed minimal impact on the provided with all necessary air pollution project thereby posing environment (ambient air, control devices (APCDs) including damaging to the public health groundwater, surface water, quencher/spray drier, multi-cyclone, bag and hence, he opposed the soil, and noise). All applicable filters, wet alkaline scrubber etc. to treat flue establishment of the project. rules and guidelines shall be gases and to meet the applicable emission He also demanded for top strictly complied with to standards prescribed by M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited 1 Coastal Waste Management Project (CWMP) Unit: 2 at Nellore District (AP). priority to be given to the minimize pollution.

The Waste to Energy the project. phases of the project plant shall be provided with all necessary (construction phase, operations APCDs (including bag filters with an phase, and post operations efficiency of >99%) to meet the applicable phase) to keep track of pollution emissions standards prescribed by and to take remedial measures. CPCB/MoEFCC/SPCB etc. All the The project management is transportation vehicles shall be maintained in totally committed to give top good condition to minimize the pollution. priority to the locals both for skilled employment and non- There will not be any negative impact on skilled employment to enhance water environment (groundwater/surface their socio-economic status. water) from the proposed project. Class – 1 landfill is proposed with a double composite liner system (primary leachate collection layer + secondary/leak detection layer) to avoid leachate from entering into the groundwater. Monitoring bore-wells shall be established around the landfill to keep track of any contamination, which is unlikely because of double composite liner system. The leachate generated from the landfill shall be collected in a leachate holding tank and it is used back on the landfill for dust suppression. Excess leachate shall be properly treated either in the effluent treatment plant/spray drier/solar evaporation M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited 2 Coastal Waste Management Project (CWMP) Unit: 2 at Nellore District (AP). pond etc. The domestic wastewater shall be sent to septic tank followed by soak pit. No contamination of surface water is expected because of the proposed project. All the wastewater generated in the proposed project shall be collected, treated, and reused within the premises. There will not be any kind of discharge outside the premises. There will not be any negative impact on land (soil) environment. There will not be any change in the fertility of the soil because of the proposed facility. Class – 1 landfill is proposed with a double composite liner system (primary leachate collection layer + secondary/leak detection layer) to avoid leachate from entering into the groundwater. Monitoring bore-wells shall be established around the landfill to keep track of any contamination, which is unlikely because of double composite liner system. There will not be any solid/hazardous waste disposal outside the premises of the proposed project. The storage sheds shall be established as per CPCB/MoEFCC guidelines. The flooring of the storage area shall be a concrete slab or other impermeable, non-reactive material properly bunded and graded towards one M/s Ramky Enviro Engineers Limited 3 Coastal Waste Management Project (CWMP) Unit: 2 at Nellore District (AP). corner for the collection of accidental spillage and leakage. Because of the above measures, no soil contamination is expected. It is estimated that the manpower requirement during Phase – I would be 100 (skilled – 10; semiskilled – 40; and unskilled – 50). Phase- II would be 80 (Skilled – 10; semiskilled – 30; unskilled – 40). Phase – III would be 40 (skilled – 5; semiskilled – 5; unskilled – 30). Once all three phases of the project are implemented, the manpower requirement is estimated to be 220 (100 from Phase – I, 80 from Phase – II, and 40 from Phase – III). Priority shall be given to the locals both for skilled employment and non-skilled employment to enhance their socio-economic status. 3 Sri Sunanda Reddy, He expressed his support for The proposed project has been Public health survey shall be conducted as Environmental NGO, the proposed project stating very carefully designed such part of CSR activities as required.

The acceptable limit for total dissolved solids as per IS 10500:2012 is 500 mg/l, whereas the permissible limit in absence of alternate source is 2000 mg/l. In water samples collected from the study area, the total dissolved solids in groundwater are varying from 252 mg/l to 1835 mg/l. Only two samples are falling within the acceptable limit and remaining 8 samples are above the acceptable limit but within permissible limit.
