CHAPTER 3. DESCRIPTION OFENVIRONMENT
3.1 Introduction The baseline environmental qualities of various environmental components like air, noise, water, land, flora and fauna and socio-economic form an important and integral part of an EIA study. The baseline data forms the basis for predicting/assessing the environmental impacts of the proposed project. The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field surveys within the impact zone as well as the secondary data for various components of the environment, viz., air, noise, water, land and socio-economic.
The proposed project is located at Plot no. 423/1, opposite Kartvya Farm, village Ravdapura, district Anand, state Gujarat. The proposed project is at the intersection of latitude 22°35'41.21"N and 72°57'37.34"Elongitude.
The report presents the data collected during the sampling period of three months during pre monsoon season from March 2018 to May 2018. Various environmental components were monitored and samples were analyzed.

3.3 Geology 3.3.1 Introduction Anand district covers an area of 2941 sq km, lies in the central part of the state. Anand district is situated between North latitudes 22°06' & 22°43' and East longitudes 72°20' & 73°12' and falls in the Survey of India degree sheet No. 46B and 46F. The district is bounded on the north by the Kheda District, on the west by Ahmadabad District and on the east by Vadodara District. The southern boundary of the district is marked by the Gulf of Khambat. Anand District is famous for the Agriculture Co-operative “The Amul” Milk Co-operative which is located at Anand the District Headquarter. The district falls under the canal command of Mahi Right Bank Canal Command Area (MRBC) and has an intensive network of canal. The Canal is fed by weir constructed on Mahi River at Waynesboro in Balasinor Taluka of Kheda District. The flow in the river is regulated by Kadana Dam situated upstream in the Panchmahalsdistrict.
3.3.2 GeologicalFormations The Anand district lies in the Cambay basin situated between Saurashtra Crater and Aravali Swell and Deccan Shield in the East. The basin comprises both marine and non marine formations. Major part of the district is underlain by alluvium which in turn is underlain by
Green Circle, Inc. 63
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
Tertiary sedimentary formations within The Cambay Sedimentary Basin. The alluvium mainly consists of fine to coarse grained sand, gravel, silt, clay and Kankar. The thickness of alluvium
gradually increases from piedmont zone in the northeast towards west and southwest. Maximum thickness of alluvium in the district is estimated to be about 250-300 m in the south, central part.
Quaternary, Post Miocene and Tertiary sediments in the area were deposited over a sinking basement. The main formation is of quaternary age, formed by alluvium deposited by Mahi, Sabarmati and Watrak rivers. They comprise multilayered formations of gravel, sand, clay and kankars intermixed at places. The clay and sand horizons form alternate layers having pinching and swelling nature. The kankars, pebbles and the gravels form lenses. Thickness of alluvium increases from North and North West towards South and South West direction. Alluvium is underlain by Deccan traps in general with intervening blue clays at some places.
Era Age Lithology Quaternary Recent and Unconsolidated pebble, gravel, sand, silt and clay. Pleistocene Pliocene Gray to reddish clay, claystone and sandstone.
~~~~~~~~~~~~UNCONFORMITY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Tertiary Miocene Gray shale, claystone and conglomerate.
Eocene Dark gray to black, carbonaceous shale. ~~~~~~~~~~~~UNCONFORMITY~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cretaceous Upper Basalt.
3.3.3 Geomorphology The present physiographic set up is a combined result of diversified lithology, structure and denudational as well as depositional processes active in the area. Geomorphologically, the district can be broadly classified into following major zones:
1. Piedmontplain 2. AlluvialPlain 3. The Coastal Plains(Bhal) Piedmont plain: A belt of about 15-20 km width fringing the hilly terrain in the north east extending approximately 70-80 m above MSL elevation constitute piedmont plain. This belt is characterised by moderate relief, shallow alluvium with at places boulder/gravel beds.
Alluvial Plain: It is the single most prominent geomorphic unit and covers the major part of the district. It forms part of the inter cratonic Cambay graben, where sediments have been deposited in a slow sinking basin. Wind as carrier has dumped or deposited sand and silt
Green Circle, Inc. 64
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion covering paleo-topography and older formations. It is a vast sandy tract characterised by gently sloping, slightly rolling to undulating topography owing to presence of blown sands at surface.
Over all drainage density is low and most of the area, particularly the mid-stream part of Mahi and Sabarmati River, is devoid of well-developed drainage network. River alluvium is observed along the rivers Mahi, Sabarmati, Vatrak in the form of channel or flood deposits. Terrain slope are moderate to low. Charotar plain lying between the rivers Shedi and Mahi in the central part is one of the richest agriculture belt of Gujarat. Bad land topography is observed all along the bank, with bank height 15-20 m, of river Mahi indicating active erosion.
Coastal Plains (Bhal Region): In the south-western part, mainly in Tarapur and Khambat talukas, alluvial plain merges with the coastal Bhal area. BHAL in the local language means forehead where nothing grows. Such areas have saline soil and are monotonously 6 flat with few isolated and continuous patches of marshy lands with salt encrustation, which are at places contiguous to the marshy lands of the gulf. In this conspicuous landform, terrain is monotonously flat & low lying with general elevations less than 30- 40 m above MSL. Such areas are mostly wasteland and are devoid of vegetation. During monsoon period, such tract is covered by a large sheet ofwater.
3.4 Landuse The basic purpose of land use pattern and classification in an EIA study is to identify the manner in which different parts of land in an area are being utilized or not utilized. Remote sensing data provides reliable accurate baseline information for land use mapping, as it is a rapid method of acquiring up to date information of over a large geographical area.
A systematic digital image interpretation approach was used to delineate the land use classes. The present study was focused on demarcating boundaries of different land use and land cover unit from an analysis of different types of colour registrations of land use and land cover unit s from satellite imagery. Data used in the land use map preparation is the satellite imagery of Indian Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS-ID, sensor P6, LISS III) of 24 m resolution.

3.5 Hydrogeology The Anand district lies in the Cambay basin situated between Saurashtra Crater and Aravali Swell and Deccan Shield in the east. The basin comprises both marine and non marine formations. Major part of the district is underlain by alluvium which in turn is underlain by Tertiary sedimentary formations within the Cambay Sedimentary Basin. The alluvium mainly consists of fine to coarse grained sand, gravel, silt, clay and Kankar. The thickness of alluvium gradually increases from piedmont zone in the northeast towards west and south west. Maximum thickness of alluvium in the district is estimated to be about 250-300 m in the south, central part. Ground water occurs both under phreatic and confined conditions in arenaceous horizons that form a multilayered aquifer system. The occurrence and movement of ground water is mainly controlled by inter- granular pore spaces. Two major aquifers can be identified within the explored depth. Ground water in the upper unit occurs under phreatic conditions, which at places becomes semi- confined to confine. The lower unit, comprising a few hundred metres of alternating sandy and clayey horizons, forms a multiple confined aquifer system. The general disposition of these aquifers in the study area is as follows.
Description Aquifer Depth (m bgl) Hydrogeological Unit I Phreatic Less than 40 Confined I 40 – 195 Hydrogeological Unit II Confined II 205 – 275
Towards east and northeast, in the piedmont plain, the nature of sediments is more uniform and only phreatic aquifer is present. This belt forms the principal recharge zone for the deeper aquifers. The argillaceous in the central and western parts, mainly act as confining layers. Ground water is extensively developed by dug, dug-cum-bored and tube wells in areas underlain by alluvium. Depth of dug and dug-cum-bored wells varies from 5 m to 38 m bgl whereas depth of water level, in general, varies from 5 m to 15 m bgl. The depth of ground water in the vicinity of the Mahi River in the east is deepest and gradually become shallower towards west. The general depth to ground water is between 5 m and 10 m bgl. The average fluctuation, between pre monsoon and post monsoon seasons, recorded during the studies is of the order of 3m. It varies from 0.60 m to 10.269 m. The quality of ground water is generally suitable for irrigation, and the hydro geological conditions are conducive to ground water development through dug wells, dug cum bored and tubewells.

3.8 Meteorology Observation on Meteorology: The meteorological parameters play a vital role in transport and dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere.
Micro meteorological data within the study area, during air quality survey period. Meteorological data recorded during the monitoring period is very useful for proper interpretation of the baseline information as well as for the input to the predictive air pollutants dispersion models. Historical data on meteorological parameters will also pay an important role in identifying the general meteorological status of the region. Site specific data can be compared with the historical data in order to identify changes, which may have taken place due to the rapid industrialization in the area.
The micro-meteorological parameters regulate the transport and diffusion of pollutants released into the atmosphere. The principle variables which affect the micrometeorology are horizontal connective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical connective transport (atmospheric stability and inversion conditions) and topography of the area.
The year may broadly be divided into four seasons.
Winterseason : December to February
Pre-monsoon season : March toMay
Monsoonseason : June to September
Post Monsoonseason : October toNovember

3.9 Ambient Air Quality Reconnaissance: The quality of ambient air depends upon the background concentrations of specific contaminants, the emission sources and meteorological conditions. The study on baseline ambient air quality status in the project area is an essential and primary requirement for assessing the impacts on air environment due to any proposed developmentalactivity.
The baseline studies on air environment include identification of specific air pollution parameters expected to have significant impacts and assessing their existing levels in the ambient air within the impact zone. To assess the baseline status of ambient air quality in the study area, monitoring is undertaken to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambientair.
Methodology for Air Monitoring: AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored on 24 hourly average basis twice as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. The conventional and project specific parameters such as particulate matter PM10 (size less than 10 μm), particulate matter PM2.5 (size less than 2.5 μm), sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) were monitored.
Selection of Stations for Sampling: Depending upon the purpose of the study IS: 5184 (part XIV) lays down various criteria for selection of sampling stations. For EIA/EMP, the purpose is to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air. Accordingly, the criterion can be selected to ascertain quality of air on human settlements or environmentally sensitive areas if any located in the 10 km radius study area.
The locations for AAQM study were selected within the 10 km radius of the proposed plant installation. Ambient air quality was monitored on 8 locations to generate representative ambient air quality data. The sampling locations are shown in figure and listed in Table 3.4

3.10 Noise Environment
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and hearing. If intense enough, it can damage hearing, or is otherwise irritating. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.
The objective of the noise pollution survey in the study area was to identify existing noise sources and to measure background noise levels. The collection of baseline noise environment data included following steps:
Reconnaissance: In order to measure the existing noise sources and to identify the background noise levels, the noise pollution survey around the proposed site was carried out. The collection of baseline noise environment data included identification of noise sources and to measure background noise levels due to transportation and other localactivity.

3.11 WaterQuality
Reconnaissance Survey: Reconnaissance survey has been done for water quality monitoring in the study area. The baseline water quality of ground water/surface water in the region is obtained by collecting sample from villages in the area considering the 10 km radius for the baseline study.
Methodology of Monitoring: In order to establish the baseline water quality, ground water and surface water sampling locations were selected based on availability, following standard norms and requirement. Ground water samples were collected from the identified hand pumps and bore wells for the characterization of water quality. Selection of surface water sampling locations has been considered as per the utilization pattern of the villagers for domestic/ drinking purposes.
The samples collected were preserved, stored and analyzed as per standard methods of Analysis of Water and Waste water (APHA, 1995).
3.11.1 Ground WaterQuality:
Ground water samples were collected from 8 locations during the study period and analyzed for a number of physico-chemical parameters.

Total Hardness in the water ranges from 385 mg/L (Anand) to 580 mg/L (Project Site). All the samples meet the permissible limit of 600mg/L. Calcium content in the water ranges from 86.4 mg/L (Anand) to 147.2 mg/L (Bhalej), all the samples meet the permissible limit of 200mg/L. Magnesium content in the water ranges from 27.46 mg/L (Ajarpura) to 54.4 mg/L (Project Site). All the samples meet the permissible limit of 100mg/L. Sulphate content in the water ranges from 45.7 mg/L (Bhalej) to 98.6 mg/L (Project Site). All the samples meet the permissible limit of 400 mg/L for drinkingwater. Fluoride content in the water ranges from 0.30 mg/L (Samarkha) to 0.45 mg/L (Anand). All the samples meet the permissible limit of 1.5 mg/L for drinkingwater. Total alkalinity in the water samples ranges from 294 mg/L (Ajarpura) to 405 mg/L (Bhalej). All the samples are within the permissible limit of drinking water (600mg/L). Chlorides range from 215 mg/L (Project Site) to 394 mg/L (Chikhodra), which are below permissible limits (1000mg/L). Heavy metals like Copper, Nickel, Cadmium and Zinc are well below the limit in all samples except Lead which was slight above the permissiblelimit.
Hence, it can be observed that ground water qualities in terms of various essential and desirable characteristics are found within the limits specified by IS 10500:2012.

Observation on Surface water Quality:
The baseline quality of water based on the results of the surface water quality monitoring within the study area, it is observed that,
The TDS and Chloride is high at Reservoir Chikhodra water body due to some anthropogenic sources such as washing, bathing etc. and it may be due some percolation of groundwater where TDS is high from nearbyarea.
Total coliform and faecal coliform are observed high at all locations due to domestic activities in ponds like washing, bathingetc.
2.12 Soil
Soil is the most important natural resource and a natural resource is anything that comes from the earth and is used by us. We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay and water. Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc. These are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by which essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made up of two main parts:
Tiny bits of mineral particles which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in color and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.
Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms, round worms, insects, etc. Actually more organisms live in the soil than above it.
3.12.1 Methodology
The soil samples were collected from 8 selected locations during pre monsoon season. The samples collected were homogeneous representative of each sampling location. At random sub locations were identified at each location and soil samples were collected from 5 to 15 cm below the surface. It was uniformly mixed before homogenizing the soil samples. The samples about 500 gm were packed in polythene bags labelled in the field with location number and sent to the laboratory for the analysis of physicochemical parameters.
3.12.2 Soil SamplingLocations
Soil Sampling was conducted once during the study period of Pre Mon soon season. 8 soil samples were collected from selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed project. For studying soil quality environment in the study area, sampling locations were selected to assess

3.13 Biological Environment:
Ecological communication presents the highest level of commitment to the environment, to personal and community ecology and to a sustainable way of life for us and for the next generation.
Environment consists of all living and non living factors which balance the weather conditions and may be disturbed by some mechanical activities. Due to introduction of such activities, the surrounding water, air and habitats may disappear or some new species may appear.
By conducting ecological studies, we may be able to understand the pattern of change in weather condition, appearance or disappearance of flora and fauna, changes in vegetation pattern in respect of their quantity and quality.
The future industrial activities may be so planned in such a way that the existing ecosystem may not get disturbed beyond sustainable limits. Hence, ecological studies form a part ofenvironmental monitoring studies required for Environmental Management Plan.
The ecological study was undertaken to understand the present status of ecosystem of the area, to predict changes as a result of proposed activities and to suggest measures for maintaining the conditions. This carried through primary survey and secondary data collected from various Government agencies like Forest Department, Agriculture Department, Scientific literatures etc. Ecological survey is aimed to assess the existing flora and fauna components in the study area. Considering the rich bio diversity of organisms and their role in productivity and their importance in human livelihood, it is vital to project and safeguard this dynamicecosystem.
Floral Compositions (cross check)
The floristic survey was carried out in and around the project site. Overall structure of the vegetation in this area was scattered forest patches intercepted with scrubland and grassland. Most of the study area is under human settlement and agriculture practice. The grasses were found growing on open places, agricultural area and near human settlements. The agricultural practice is mainly depending on monsoon water. The main crops cultivated in the region are Rice, lab lab bean, cow pea, black gram, horse gram, finger millet, pros millet and groundnut. Some irrigated part of the area has vegetables like okra, brinjal and leafy vegetables.

CHAPTER 4. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTSAND MITIGATIONMEASURES 4.1 Prelude Prediction of environmental impacts is the most important component in the impact assessment study, as it provides quantitative information on anticipated environmental impacts from a project well in advance. Several mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies are available for predicting impacts from developmental projects on the surrounding physicochemical, ecological and socio economic components of environment. The results obtained from the predictions are superimposed over the baseline data ( pre project) to derive the ultimate (post project) scenario of environmental quality status in the study area around the proposed project site. The quantitative impacts derived from predictions are also essential to delineate effective environmental management plan for minimizing the adverse impacts on the surrounding environment during construction and operation phases of theproject.
The following sections identify the potential impacts on the environment from the proposed project based on the nature and extent of the various activities associated with the project implementation and operation, as well as the current status of the environmental quality at the project site. Both beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts areconsidered.
4.2 Valued Environmental Components and PotentialImpacts
The project activities will interact with various valued Environmental Components viz., air, water, soil, land, flora & fauna, etc. The components that may be affected due to the proposed manufacturing and require focused evaluation are summarized in the following sub sections, considering both construction phase as well as operation phase of the project.

4.2.2 Potential Impacts during ProjectOperation
Impact on AirEnvironment Impact on NoiseEnvironment Impact on WaterEnvironment Impact due to Solid Waste/ HazardousWaste Impact on TerrestrialEcology Impact on LandEnvironment Impact on Socio-economic Environment
4.3 Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures durin Project Implementation
Construction activities normally spread over pre-construction, preparatory construction, machinery installation and commissioning stages and end with the induction of manpower and start up.
Preparatory construction phase mainly consists of transportation of machinery, equipment and materials to the site for construction, clearing and levelling of land, construction of foundations, buildings and approach roads.
Machinery installation and commissioning involve activities like fabrication work, cutting, welding and construction of buildings and other facilities, lying of cables and pipelines etc. It involves testing of plant for any type of leakages and designed capacity. The environmental impacts along with suggested mitigation measures have been presented in the following sub sectors. The construction activities for the proposed project are limited only and for shorter period.
4.3.1 Air Environment
Impact: The sources of air emission during construction phase will include site clearing, vehicles movement, material storages and handling and operation of construction equipment. Emissions from them are expected to result in temporary degradation of air quality, primarily in the working environment affecting construction employees. However, dust generation and SPM rise in the ambient air will be coarse and will settle within a short distance close to the construction sites. Hence, dust and other emissions are unlikely to spread sufficiently to affect the surroundings of the constructionsite.
Green Circle, Inc. 123
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
Traffic to the site during construction will be slightly more intensive than at present. The present road conditions are good for the proposed additional movement of vehicular traffic. Hence, the
impacts on the ambient air quality during construction phase will be temporarily for short duration and reversible in nature and restricted to smallarea.
Fugitive dust sources associated with construction phase include vehicular traffic generating fugitive dust on paved and unpaved roads, aggregate material handling, and other aggregate processing operations.
The emission of particulate matter during the construction phase will be generated from the activities like receipt, transfer and screening of aggregate, road dust emissions, etc.
Mitigation Measures:
Dust Control
Paving is an appropriate solution for access road to the project. Another appropriate use of paving is for parking lots and for material storage areas, where gravel cover is not adequate for dust control orerosion. Locally found gravels can also be applied to access roads and lots to add a protective layer over the exposed soil and helps to control dust generation. However, gravels shall contain a minimal percentage of fines and clean gravel shall be added periodically, as the fines migrate to the surface and createdust. Water spray, through water trucks is an effective way to keep dust under control. Sprinklers can also be employed to deliver continuous moisture in dust proneareas. High vehicle speeds increase the amount of fugitive dust created from unpaved areas. Reducing the speed of a vehicle to 20 km/hr can reduce emissions by a largeextent. Care shall be taken to keep all material storages adequately covered and contained so that they are not exposed to situations, where winds on site could lead to dust particulateemissions. Fabrics and plastics for covering piles of soils and debris is an effective means to reduce fugitive dust from the materialstores/warehouses. Spills of dirt or dusty materials shallll be cleaned up promptly so that the spilled materials do not become a source of fugitiveemission. Spilled concrete slurries or liquid wastes shall be contained/cleaned up immediately before they can infiltrate into the soil/ground or run off in nearbyareas.
Green Circle, Inc. 124
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
Gaseous Emission Control
Regular maintenance of machinery and equipment will be carriedout. All the vehicles used for construction activity shall be checked for ‘Pollution Under Control’(PUC). Ambient Air Quality monitoring should be carried out during construction phase. If monitored parameters are above the prescribed limits, suitable control measures must betaken.
4.3.2 NoiseLevel
Impact: The general noise levels during construction phase viz. due to working of heavy earth moving equipment and machinery installation may sometimes go up to 90 db (A) at the work sites in day time. The workers in general are likely to be exposed to an equivalent noise level of 80-90 db (A) in 8 hours shift for which all statutory precautions will be implemented.
The noise generation will be considered during such type of large scale construction activities. The impacts during construction phase are temporary and will be marginal. Necessary mitigation measures are required to be implemented during constructionperiod.
Typical Noise Sources during Construction Phase
Description Noise Level dB(A) Earth Movers Front Loaders 72-84 Backhoes 72-93 Tractors 76-96 Material Handlers Concrete Mixers 75-83 Cranes (movable) 75-86 Vehicular Traffic (Construction material & 85-98 plantmachinery) Stationary Equipment DG Sets 90-95 Compressors 74-86 Impact Based Equipment Pneumatic Wrenches 83-88 Jack hammer 81-98
Mitigation Measures
There will be increase in ambient noise levels during the construction phase due to all the projectactivitiesduringconstructionphase,whichwillbetemporaryinnatureandforashorter Green Circle, Inc. 125
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
duration ( i.e. construction phase). The measures described below wil be able to mitigate the noise levels generated at site:
Provision of rubber padding/ noiseisolators Provision of silencers to modulate the noise generated bymachines Provision of protective devices like ear muff/ plugs to theworkers As far as possible no construction activities will be carried out during nighttime Maintenance of construction equipment shall be done properly, which will be done by provision in the various contracts with thecontractors. Vehicular movement towards the construction sites shall be properly regulated to minimize the air and noise pollutionconsequences. Movement of trucks shall be controlled during nighttime.
4.3.3 Water Resources & Quality
During the construction phase of the project, total water requirement will be fulfilled from Ravda Pura Gram Panchayat water supply. Waste water generated during construction phase will be mainly from construction workers & domestic activities. Therefore, no long term adverse impact on water quality (surface as well as ground) is anticipated during construction phase.
Mitigation Measures:
Construction waste water generation:
Minimal quantity waste water will be generated during the construction phase of the project. Water will be used only for curing of concrete, which will be absorbed by land or get evaporated. Vitrified/ polished tiles will be used for flooring and hence no wash water will be needed.
The potential negative impact is considered minor and has no long term impact. Alkaline wash water containing excessive amounts of cement will be made to settle down and neutralized before discharge. The overall impact on water environment during construction phase due to the proposed project would be short term duration and insignificant. The potential negative impact is considered minor and has no long term impact.
Sanitation
The construction work force will use the sanitation facility (Septic tank) in order to maintain adequate hygienic conditions. Green Circle, Inc. 126
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
4.3.3 Land Environment
Impact: Soil around construction site, haulage road, and workshop areas, will get compacted due to transportation of man, machine andmaterials. Soil may also get contaminated around construction site, machine maintenance area, fuelling station and internal road construction material storage (not much involved) & preparation site and haulageroad. No soil erosion is anticipated due to the construction activities during the rainy season, as the project site is a flatland. Road traffic will be increased during construction phase. There will not be increase in rail and sea traffic during constructionphase. However, as such, the operations do not require any major combustion source; hence the impact on soil due to deposition of air pollutants shall benegligible. Soil quality will not be affected, as there will not be any disposal of untreated effluent on land.
Mitigation Measures:
To keep the damage to topsoil, minimum excavators shall be used for construction. The excavated material such as topsoil shall be stacked at safe places for reuse at a later stage ofconstruction. Top soil conserved during the construction phase shall be utilized for landscaping and green beltdevelopment. Once the construction activities will be completed, there is no adverse impact envisaged due to the operation of the plant. The greenbelt development and tree plantation will help in enhancing the aesthetic value of theplant. During dry weather, control of the dust nuisance created by excavation, levelling and transportation activities shall be carried out by watersprinkling. Occasional & minor fuel/ chemicals spills may occur. These will not affect water or land because of appropriate flooring & presence of spill controlprocedures. Spill prevention and control plans shall be made , clearly stating measures to stop the source of the spill, to contain the spill, to dispose the contaminated material and hazardous wastes. The discharge of sewage/ other effluents will be taken upon need basis, the quality of effluent shall be maintained confirming to be stipulated CPCBstandards.
Green Circle, Inc. 127
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
The movement of construction vehicles, machinery and equipment shall be restricted to the pre- defined haulage roads. The non usable, non sale-saleable, non hazardous construction waste shall be dispose off in the properly delineated places. Usable or saleable waste shall be disposed off tolandfill.
All efforts shall be made to prevent soil contaminations and following measures shall be taken to prevent the same:
No fuelling/ repairing the vehicles at the project site is proposed, as the volume of construction activities is very limited and will be limited to the proposed projectsite. To avoid the soil contamination at the wash down areas, “oil interceptors” shall be provided. The sewage stream will be sent to septictank.
4.3.5 Solid and Hazardous Waste
Impact: During construction phase, solid waste such as excavated soil, debris, metal waste and oil & grease from construction machines will be generated. This waste may contaminate soil at plant site temporarily and will be restricted to a small area.
During the construction phase, hydraulic oil, fuels and lubricating oils will be used. There is potential for accidental spills while re -fuelling or servicing vehicles and through the breakage due to wear and tear. Procedures for maintenance of equipment will ensure that this risk is minimized and cleanup response is rapid, if any spill occurs.
During construction phase, waste oil will be generated as and when lubricating oil is changed. Waste oil will be collected through the drain pots and stored in leak proof steel drums.
Hence, impacts will be insignificant, reversible and for short duration only. The impacts will be confined to the construction site only.
Mitigation measures:
The best option of its management is to reduce its generation at source with the help of following good practices in constructionmanagement:
Green Circle, Inc. 128
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
Hazardous materials shall not be stored near surface waters and shall be stored in the storage area designed as per CPCB guidelines for storage of hazardous waste with leachate collectionsystem. Delivery of material on site shall be done over impervious and level surface, so that first batch of material does not mix with the site surface. Availability of covered storage would beassured. The recyclable items like metal, plastic shall be sent to recyclable industry, and rest of this scrap shall be stored in a coveredarea. Wherever materials (aggregated, sand, etc.) are more likely to generate fine air borne particles during operations, nominal wetting by water shall be practiced. Workers/ labour shall be given proper air masks andhelmets. Skilled labour and good workmanship is must for judicial utilization of materials and minimizing the waste. The waste oil drums will be properly identified with label of what is contained both in local language (Gujarati) and English. It will be mainly disposed-off by selling to authorized recycler as per Hazardous and Other wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules,2016. Municipal waste will be minimal as most of workforce will be from nearby areas. The waste so generated will be collected and segregated and will be sent to municipal waste disposal site allocated by the local administrativeauthorities. Rubbish, debris and bitumen wastes remaining after blacktop works shall be cleaned and disposed off in a safeplace.
4.3.6 Storage of Hazardous Materials/ Dumping Materials
Impact: No hazardous chemicals storage at project site is proposed during the construction phase. Also a lot of material may be generated for disposal during construction activity. These, is disposed off haphazardly can pollute the nearby water bodies adversely. They would increase the accident incidences also.
Mitigation Measures:
Utmost care shall be taken to store these materials at a suitable place and then disposed off at a place in consultation with and as per the guidelines ofGPCB/CPCB.
Green Circle, Inc. 129
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
4.3.7 Socio-Economic Environment
Impact: All the activities to be carried out during the planning, and construction phases will require skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled labours, hence creating temporary employment for local people. The workforce required during construction phase will be depending upon construction activities. Thus, impact on the physical and aesthetic resources will be minimal. Further, local skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled labourers will get direct and indirect employment during the construction phase. This might also result in a steep rise in agricultural wages in the surrounding villages, especially at the time of harvesting for short duration. Hence, the short term positive impacts on socio- economic conditions of the area are anticipated during constructionphase.
Mitigation Measures:
Short term positive impacts will result in better quality of life. The project proponent/contractors shall ensure that most of the workplace shall be engaged from the nearby villages/ town.
4.3.8 Site Security and Safety
Impact: A construction site forms a potentially hazardous environment due to the various construction activities, involvement of heavy construction machinery, vehicular movement etc. Any accident happens in the project site can affect the construction workers. No hazardous chemicals storage at project site is proposed during the construction phase.
Mitigation Measures:
To ensure that the surrounding population is not exposed to these hazards, the site shall be properly secured by fencing and also guards shall be posted at entrypoints. First aid facilities shall be provided at different locations for immediate assistance in case of emergencies andaccidents. Important information about nearby hospitals, fire stations, police stations etc. should be kept available in the first aid centres for speedy actions at the time ofemergency. In case inflammable materials to be kept at the site, they shall be stored and handled in accordance with guidelines of inspectorate of Safety and Health of the State and Central Governments. Fire extinguishers shall be located at all vulnerablesites.

4.3.9 Health and well-being of Construction Workers Mitigation Measures: The objective is to ensure health and safety of the workers during construction, with effective provisions for the basic facilities of sanitation, drinking water, safety of equipment or machinery etc. following are the measures, which needs to be followed for better working environment:
Comply with the safety procedures, norms and guidelines (as applicable) as outlines in the Constructional Practices and Safety, 2005, National Building Code of India, Bureau of IndianStandards. Clean drinking water shall be provided to all theworkers. Proper sanitation facility will be provided for the workers working during the Construction phase. All parts of the dangerous machinery shall beguarded. Protective equipment, helmets etc. shall be provided to the constructionworkers. Sufficient and suitable light for working during night time shall beprovided. Dangers, health hazards and measures to protect workers and also information about these shall be displayed in theareas. Training module on construction safety shall be prepared and impart training to the constructionworkers.
4.4 Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during ProjectOperation
Some of the potentially significant environmental impacts from the proposed project will be in water environment, land environment, air environment and socio economics.
4.4.1 Air Environment Air environment is likely to be affected due to emissions from combustion of fuels used in machineries, vehicles, DG set and Boilers. Point and Non point source of pollutants will be there which may cause serious threat to the air quality and it can result in many secondary impacts like occupation & social health, corrosion of metallic structures of area etc.
Mitigation measures: DG set will be operated as astandby.
Stack of adequate height as per CPCB norms will be erected
Periodical Monitoring will be carriedout

4.4.9 Foul Odour Problem Impact: Some of the processes and wastes generated from the plant may release high odour. Undesirable odour contributes to air quality concerns and affect human lifestyles. On the economic front, loss of property value near odour –causing operations/industries and odorous environment is partly a consequence of offensive odour. Odour is undoubtedly the most complex of all the air pollution problems. Mainly odour generated by the industries varies enormously since they can be generated during the production, processing, or even in the waste water treatment areas of the plants.
Mitigation Measures: Sampling points will be provided with double valve followed by suction hoods which will be connected to ducting system leading to charcoalbed.
Odour causing raw materials will be charged in closed chambers with exhaust of chambers connected to ductingsystem.
Additional Measures:
Odour rounds by non plant personnel will hold regular meetings and odour rounds in the factory premises for ensuring effective implementation of odour controlmeasures.
As a long term measure to improve the environment, plantation of trees within factory premises as well as along the nearby roads isproposed.
All critical vessels, pumps, reactors which have potential to generate odour will be fitted with mechanical seals to prevent leakage and thereforeodour.
De-odorizer solution will be sprayed through special network, which will be laid around the plant. It will help in neutralizing the fugitiveemissions.
Beneath all sample points/ drain points, spill control powder containing trays will be kept so as to adsorb even slightest of leakage, if at all arises from these points. The spill control powder will then be sent for incinerator as a solidwaste.

CHAPTER 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PLAN
6.1 Environmental Monitoring Programme Environmental Monitoring describe the processes and activities that need to take place to characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental Monitoring is used in the preparation of the environmental impact assessment, as well as in many circumstances in which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish the current status of an environment and prediction of the impact of future development and/or alteration in the operation and design of existing installation. Environmental Monitoring Network is operation phase of the project for monitoring of various Environmental parameters like air, water, noise, soil etc.
6.1.1 Objectives ofMonitoring
To comply with the statutory requirements of monitoring for compliance with conditions of EC, NOC and CC&A To comply with the provisions of factoryAct. To verify the result of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to new development. Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition to plan additional mitigation measures, if & asrequired. To check or assess the efficiency of the controllingmeasures To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact assessment study, do not become critical through the commissioning of newproject. To establish a data base for future impact assessment studies for newproject.
6.2 Environmental Monitoring Program
Environmental Monitoring should be carried out during construction and operation phase of the project.
6.2.1 Monitoring and reportingprocedure
Regular monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters is of immense importancetoassessthestatusoftheenvironmentduringconstruction&operationalphase.
Green Circle, Inc. 144
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
With the knowledge of baseline condition, the monitoring program can serve as an indicator for any deterioration in environmental conditions due to operational phase and suitable mitigation steps could be taken in time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution since the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring.
6.2.2 Ambient Air QualityMonitoring
Both ambient air quality and stack emission will be monitored. The ambient air quality with
respect to NOx, SO2, suspended particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) will be monitored in at least 3-4 locations in and around the project site through a reputed environmental laboratory recognized by MoEF/NABL. Monitoring will be carried out for a period of 24 hours, every month during construction phase and quarterly in operation phase. Similarly, all the stacks in
the proposed unit will be monitored once in three months with respect to NOx, SO2, Suspended Particulate matter (SPM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) level.
Water Monitoring
Ground water monitoring locations will be identified and periodical checking of physical, chemical as well as biological parameters as per drinking water standard IS10500:2012.
Noise level Monitoring
Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the effectiveness of Environmental Management Plan implemented to reduce noise levels. A good quality sound level meter and noise exposure meter may be procured for the same. Audiometric tests shall be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. Audiometric tests shall be conducted periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. The noise levels due to machines and equipments will be monitoredregularly.

7.2 . RISK ASSESSMENT
7.2 1. Introduction
This chapter deals with the study of prevention and mitigation of incidents / accidents which can lead to personal injuries, damage or loss of property, material, plant, equipment, and the environment. The study is mainly concerned with conducting a risk assessment to identify the hazards and risks associated with the various activities and to identify and evaluate the control measures to eliminate / prevent accidents and loses, and / or mitigate the risk to minimum acceptable level. The other aspect considered for the study includes the disaster management plan. Even after providing all necessary control measures, things may go wrong. The study includes the conditions, activities, material, manmade or natural, will be considered, which can lead to an emergency situation. A, well defined, disaster management plan will provide awareness and prompt action by employees to control emergency situation promptly and effectively and will minimize the losses.
7.2.2 RISK ASSESSMENT OBJECTIVE OF THE STUDY Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) study for M/sMaruti polymer has been carried out based on data provided by M/s Maruti Polymer. The main objective of risk assessment -Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) Is to identify and determine the potential damage or loss of life, property and environment and to provide a scientific argument for decision makers to provide and maintain the safety levels of the facilities to prevent or mitigate harm and loses. This is achieved by the following: Identification of hazards that could be realized from manufacturing processes, plant equipment and machinery, raw materials and products. Identify the potential failure scenarios that could occur within the facility. To Asses, the potential risks associated with identified hazards to which the plant and its personal and community outside may be subjected. Consequences analysis of various hazards is carried out to determine the vulnerable zones for each probable accident scenario. Evaluate the process hazards emanating from the identified potential accident scenarios. Analyse the damage effects to the surroundings due to such accidents. Conclusion and Recommendation to mitigate measures to reduce the hazard / risks.

EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
Quantity presentEnvironmental factors; topography and weather. Handling and storage facilities and procedures. Awareness, Training and Communication The study has been carried out in accordance with the National and International codes of practices using Process Hazard Analysis Software Tool (PHAST) software. The latest version of the renowned PHAST software package of DNV is used for carrying out the risk analysis. The full terms of potential hazardous scenarios and consequence events associated with the installation and operation was considered in the analysis. Based on the operations to be carried at the plant, the Risk Analysis conducted to identify the affected distances and the damage of property and population from the identified scenarios considering the Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) & Worst case scenario. Maximum credible loss scenarios have been worked based on the inbuilt safety systems and protection measures to be provided for the operation of the facility & the Worst case scenario i.e. 100% catastrophic rupture have been worked out based on failure of the inbuilt safety system. The Worst case Scenario assumed as catastrophic rupture, as per the guidelines suggested by DNV – UK, and maximum inventory at the time of failure. Consequence analysis and calculations are effectively performed by computer software using models validated over a number of applications. Consequence modelling is carried out by PHAST (version 6.53) of DNV Software, UK. PHAST uses the Unified Dispersion Model (UDM) capable of describing a wide range of types of accidental releases. The Model uses a particularly flexible form, allowing for sharp-edged profiles, which become more diffuse downwind. PHAST contains data for a large number of chemicals and allows definition of mixtures of any of these chemicals in the required proportion. The calculations by PHAST involve following steps for each modelled failure case: Run discharge calculations based on physical conditions and leak size. Model first stage of release (for each weather category). Determine vapour release rate by flashing of liquid and pool evaporation rate. Dispersion modelling taking into account weather conditions. In case of flammable release, calculate size of effect zone for fire and explosion. The hazardous materials considered in this study are mostly flammable liquids.

SOFTWARE USED PHAST has been used for consequence analysis include discharge and dispersion calculations. 7.2.3.2 OTHER FACTORS CONSIDERED FOR RISK ASSESSMENT
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
METROLOGICAL CONDITION The consequences of released toxic or flammable material are largely dependent on the prevailing weather conditions. For the assessment of major scenarios involving release of toxic or flammable materials, the most important meteorological parameters which affect the atmospheric dispersion of the escaping material include crucial variables such as wind direction, wind speed, atmospheric stability and temperature. Rainfall does not have any direct bearing on the results of the risk analysis; however, it can have beneficial effects by absorption / washout of released materials. Actual behaviour of any release would largely depend on prevailing weather condition at the time of release.
For the present study we used the metrological data of the Ahmedabad.
ATMOSPHERIC PARAMETERS
The wind speed and wind direction data which have been used for the study is summarized below: Wind Speed : 1.5&5 m/s Atmospheric Stability : D and F
WEATHER CATEGORY One of the most important characteristics of atmosphere is its stability. Stability of atmosphere is its tendency to resist vertical motion or to suppress existing turbulence. This tendency directly influences the ability of atmosphere to disperse pollutants emitted into it from the facilities. In most dispersion scenarios, the relevant atmospheric layer is that nearest to the ground, varying in thickness from a few meters to a few thousand meters. Turbulence induced by buoyancy forces in the atmosphere is closely related to the vertical temperature gradient. Temperature normally decreases with increasing height in the atmosphere. The rate at which the temperature of air decreases with height is called Environmental Lapse Rate (ELR). It will vary from time to time and from place to place. The atmosphere is said to be stable, neutral or unstable according to ELR is less than, equal to or greater than Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR), which is a constant value of 0.98°C/100 meters. Pasquill stability parameter, based on Pasquill – Gifford categorization, a meteorological parameter, describes the stability of atmosphere, i.e., the degree of convective turbulence. Pasquill has defined six stability classes ranging from `A' (extremely unstable) to `F' (moderately stable). Wind speeds, intensity of solar radiation (daytime insulation) and nighttime sky cover have been identified as prime factors defining these stability categories. When the atmosphere is unstable and wind speeds are moderate or high or gusty, rapid dispersion of pollutants will occur. Under these conditions, pollutant concentrations in air will be moderate or low and the material will be dispersed rapidly. When the atmosphere is stable and wind speed is low, dispersion of material will be limited and pollutant concentration in air will be high. In general, worst dispersion conditions (i.e. contributing to greater hazard distances) occur during low wind speed and very stable weather conditions.

7.2.4 HAZARDS & DAMAGE CRIETERIA OF MATERIALS DEFINITIONS Hazards associated with Flammable chemicals The release of flammable gas or liquid can lead to different types of fire or explosion scenarios and will depend on the material released, mechanism of release, temperatureandpressure of the material and the point of ignition. Types of flammable effects are as follows. Pool fire The released flammable material, a liquid stored below its normal boiling point, will collect in a pool. The geometry of the pool will be dictated by the surroundings. If the liquid is stored under pressure above its normal boiling point, then a fraction of the liquid will flash into vapor and the remaining portion will form a pool in the vicinity of the release point. Once sustained combustion is achieved, liquid fires quickly reach steady state burning. The heat release rate is a function of the liquid surface area exposed to air. An unconfined spill will tend to have thin fuel depth (typically less than 5 mm) which will result in slower burning rates. A confined spill is limited by the boundaries (e.g. a dyked area) and the depth of the resulting pool is greater than that for an unconfined spill. Flash fire: It occurs when a vapor cloud of flammable material burns. The cloud is typically ignited on the edge and burns towards the release point. The duration of flash fire is very short (seconds), but it may continue as jet fire if the release continues. The overpressures generated by the combustion are not considered significant in terms of damage potential to persons, equipment or structures. The major hazard from flash fire is direct flame impingement. Typically, the burn zone is defined as the area the vapor cloud covers out to half of the LFL. This definition provides a conservative estimate, allowing for fluctuations in modelling. Even where the concentration may be above the UFL, turbulent induced combustion mixes the material with air and results in flash fire. Jet Fire: Jet flames are characterized as high-pressure release of gas from limited openings (e.g. due to small leak in a vessel or broken drain valve). Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) or fireball: A fireball is an intense spherical fire resulting from a sudden release of pressurized liquid or gas that is immediately ignited. The best known cause of a fireball is a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE). Fireball duration is typically 5 – 20 seconds. Vapor cloud explosion: When a large quantity of flammable vapor or gas is released, mixes with air to produce sufficient mass in the flammable range and is ignited, results a vapor cloud explosion (VCE). Without sufficient air mixing, a diffusion-controlled fireballmay result withoutsignificant overpressures developing. The speed of flame propagation must accelerate as the vapor cloud burns. Without this acceleration, only a flash fire will result. 7.2.5 Hazards Associated with Explosives chemicals Damage Criteria Damage due to thermal radiations and overpressure have been arrived at by taking in to consideration the published literature on the subject. The consequences are then visualized by the superimposing the damage effects zones on the proposed plan site and identifying the elements within the project site as well as in the neighbouring environment, which might be adversely affected, should one or more hazards materialize.

Thermal damage The effect of thermal radiation on people is mainly a function of intensity of radiation and exposure time. The effect is expressed in terms of the probability of death and different degrees of burn. The following tables give the effect of various levels of heat flux. FATAL RADIATION EXPOSURE LEVELS

Hazards Associated with Toxic Materials It is necessary to specify suitable concentration of the toxic substance under study to form the end- point for consequence calculations. American Industrial Hygiene Association (AIHA) has issued Emergency Response Planning Guidelines (ERPG) for many chemicals, describes the various scenarios: • ERPG-1 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing other than mild transient adverse health effects or perceiving a clearly defined, objectionable odour. • ERPG-2 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing irreversible or other serious health effects or symptoms, which could impair an individual's ability to take protective action. • ERPG-3 is the maximum airborne concentration below which it is believed that nearly all individuals could be exposed for up to 1 hour without experiencing or developing life-threatening health effects. Toxic limit values as TLV (Threshold Limit Value), STEL (Short Term Exposure Limit), Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health (IDLH) concentrations are issued by US National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH). TLV: Threshold Limit Value – is the permitted level of exposure for a given period on a weighted average basis (usually 8 hrs.for 5 days in a week). STEL:A Short Term Exposure Limit (STEL) is defined by ACGIH as the concentration to which workers can be exposed continuously for a short period of time without suffering from: Irritation Chronic or irreversible tissue damage Narcosis of sufficient degree to increase the likelihood of accidental injury, impair self-rescue or materially reduce work efficiency. The permitted Short Time Exposure Limit usually have maximum exposure for 15-minute. IDLH: IDLH is an acronym for Immediately Dangerous to Life or Health. This refers to a concentration, formally specified by a regulatory value, and defined as the maximum exposure concentration of a given chemical in the workplace from which one could escape within 30 minutes without any escape- impairing symptoms or any irreversible health effects. This value is normally referred to in respirator selection.

7.2.6 CONSEQUENCE ANALYSIS 7.2.6.1 INTRODUCTION
The consequence analysis is carried out to determine the extent of spread (dispersion) by accidental release which may lead to jet fire, pool fire, tank fire resulting into generating heat radiation, overpressures, explosions etc. In order to form an opinion on potentially serious hazardous situations and their consequences, consequence analysis of potential failure scenarios is conducted. It is quantitative analysis of hazards due to various failure scenarios. In consequence analysis, each failure case is considered in isolation and damage effects predicted, without taking into the account of the secondary events or failures it may cause, leading to a major disastrous situation. The results of consequence analysis are useful in developing disaster management plan and in developing a sense of awareness among operating and maintenance personnel. It also gives the operating personnel and population living in its vicinity, an understanding of the hazard they are posed to.
7.2.6.2 SELECTED FAILURE CASES
Earlier, it was the practice to select a particular item in a unit as failure scenario, e.g. rupture of reactor outlet pipe. Such selection is normally subjective on following parameters: Properties of material namely Toxic or Flammable. The likely severity of consequence in the event of accidental release based on inventory, operated pressure & operated temperature.

The probability of failure of various equipments such as valves, flanges, pipe, pressure vessels etc. used in the plant. Size of Release: For accidental releases identified for consequence analysis is 50mm leakage. The scenarios are considered to be confined to those equipment failures which involve the leakage of flammable or toxic products, of which the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the consequences have been taken into consideration and which may have a low probability of early detection. Taking this factor into consideration, a list of selected failure cases was prepared based on process knowledge, inventory, engineering judgment, and experience, past incidents associated with such facilities and considering the general mechanisms for loss of containment. Cases have been identified for the consequence analysis.
EFFECT OF RELEASE When hazardous material is released to atmosphere due to any reason, a vapor cloud is formed. Direct cloud formation occurs when a gaseous or flashing liquid escapes to the atmosphere. 1. Dispersion of hydrocarbon vapor with wind till it reaches its lower flammability limit (LFL) or finds a source of ignition before reaching LFL, which will result in a flash fire or explosion. 2. Spillage of liquid hydrocarbons will result in a pool of liquid, which will evaporate taking heat from the surface, forming a flammable atmosphere above it. Ignition of this pool will result in pool fire causing thermal radiation hazards. 3. A fireball or BLEVE (Boiling Liquid expanding Vapor Explosion) occurs when a vessel containing a highly volatile liquid (e.g. LPG, Propylene etc.) fails and the released large mass of vapor cloud gets ignited immediately. It has damage potential due to high intensity of radiation and generation of the overpressure waves, causing large scale damage to nearby equipment and structures. 4. Catastrophic failure of tanks/ pressurized vessels, rotary equipment and valves etc. can result in equipment fragments flying and hitting other equipment of the plant. 5. Release of toxic compounds results in the toxic vapour cloud traveling over long distances, affecting a large area, before it gets sufficiently diluted to harmless concentration in the atmosphere. 6. The material is in two phases inside the containment - liquid & vapor. Depending on the location of the leak liquid or vapor will be released from the containment. If vapor is released a vapor cloud will form by the mixing of the vapor and air. The size of the vapor cloud will depend on the rate of release, wind speed; wind direction & atmospheric stability will determine the dispersion and movement of the vapor cloud.
Green Circle Inc.Chapter 6: Quantitative Risk A Study 6.159
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
7. If liquid is released there will be some flashing as the boiling point of liquid is below the ambient temperature. The vapor formed by immediate flashing will behave as vapor release. The liquid will fall on the ground forming a pool. There will be vaporization from the pool due to the heat gained from the atmosphere & ground. 8. There will be dispersion and movement of vapor cloud formed by evaporation of liquid. The behaviour of material released by loss of containment depends on the following factors: 1. Physical properties of the material 2. Conditions of material in containment (pressure and temperature) 3. Phase of material released (liquid or gas) 4. Inventory of material released 5. Weather parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric stability) 6. Material with boiling point below ambient condition.

7.2.8 Disaster Management Plan 7.2.8.1 Introduction to Disaster Management Plan The various controls including engineering, procedural and administrative are provided to control the manufacturing activities at the industries; however things may go wrong even with the best arrangements. The Disaster Management Pan is prepared to control and minimize the effect of any emergency which may occur within the industrial premises affecting the employees or the people in the surrounding; it may also affect the environment.
The disaster/emergency may arise as a natural calamity such as floods, earthquakes, etc. or may be a Man-made Disaster such as a leakage/ Spillage of Hazardous chemicals/ Gases or Fire and Explosion.
A Disaster Management Plan is an action plan drawn to fix responsibility and actions to be taken by various groups to contain the disaster/emergency incident within shortest possible time and with minimum losses to people, material, property and environment.
It is the responsibility of the establishment/industry that the disaster/emergency plan is widely circulated for benefit/training of all the employees within the premises and the individuals residing in the surrounding areas of the premises. It is the responsibility of all the individuals in their respective areas to ensure the success of this plan. 7.2.8.2 Objective
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
The main objectives of preparing the On Site / Off Site Emergency Plan are: 1. To define and assess emergencies, including risk and environmental impact assessment.
2. To establish the procedures to handle emergency situation that may arise due to spillage and fire while handling plant & equipment.
3. To control and contain incidents within shortest possible time and to restore normalcy.
4. To safeguard employees and people in vicinity and to minimize damage/loss to property or/and the environment.
5. To inform employees, the general public and the authority about the hazards/risks assessed, safeguards provided, residual risk if any and the role to be played by them in the event of emergency. 6. To be ready for 'mutual aid' if need is arise to help neighbouring unit. Normal jurisdiction of an OEP is the own premises only, but looking to the time factor in arriving the external help or off-site plan agency; the jurisdiction must be extended outside to the extent possible in case of emergency occurring outside.
7. To establish procedures to appraise District Administration / Civil authorities/ and mutual aid centres etc. in order to ensure prompt relief for execution of Emergency Response Plan.
8. To secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas and to restore normalcy.
9. To provide authoritative information to the news media.
10. To preserve records, equipments etc., and to organize investigation into the cause of the emergency and preventive measures to stop its recurrence.
11. To ensure safety of the works before personnel re-enter and resume work.
12. To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to provide for emergency
preparedness and the periodical rehearsal of the plan.
7.2.8.3 Definition An emergency could be defined as any situation which presents a threat to safety of persons or/and property. It may require outside help also. A major emergency occurring at a work is one which may affect one or several sections of the plant and possibly extend beyond the factory boundaries that may cause serious injuries, loss of life, and extensive damage to property or serious disruption outside the works. It will require the use of outside resources to handle it effectively. Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day-to-day patterns of life are, in many instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and as a result need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life, such as – (1) Disasters resulting from natural phenomena like earthquakes volcanic eruptions, storm, surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, landslides, forest fires and massive insect infestation. Also in this group, violent drought which will cause a creeping disaster landing to famine, disease and death must be included.
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
(2) Second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man's impact upon the environment, such as armed conflict, industrial accidents, factory fires, explosions and escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other structural collapses; air, sea, rail and road transport accidents, aircraft crashes, collisions of vehicles carrying inflammable liquids, oil spills at sea, and dam failures.
The on-site emergency plan deals with measures to prevent and control emergencies within the factory and not affecting outside public or environment.
The off-site emergency plan will deal with measures to prevent and control emergencies affecting public and the environment outside the premises. The manufacturer should provide the necessary information on the nature, extent and likely effects of such incidents.
7.2.8.4 Level of disasters
The NDMA Guidelines categorize the levels of disasters, based on the ability of various authorities to deal with them. In order to facilitate the responses and assistances to States and Districts, the levels of disasters have been defined as follows. 1. L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring, documentation, prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out during this time. 2. L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the State and Centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. 3. L2 level disaster situations are those which require assistance and participation of State, mobilization of its resources for management of resources. 4. L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and District authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central Government for reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue, relief, other response and recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity of the disaster as determined by the concerned technical agencies like Indian meteorological department (IMD)/ Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) are sufficient for the declaration of L3 disaster.
7.2.9 Scope The M/s Maruti Polymers Incorporation has prepared Disaster Management Plan in order to provide proper guidance to plant operating personnel to confidently handle any accidental spillage or fire / explosion / bursting of vessel/tank or any natural calamity or sabotage.
With this objective comprehensive information has been gathered and analyzed on the resins handling plant and equipment which includes the hazardous properties of materials/chemicals, fire hazards, safety appliances, safety measures incorporated in the plant, emergency procedures and finally regarding the constitution & responsibility of Emergency Rescue Team
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
(Emergency Response & Management Team / Task Force).
The potential hazards which may cause emergency includes:
Chemical Fire / Explosion in the plant or storage area
Electrical Fire in the plant or storage area.
Accidental spillages and leakages during handling of material and plant / equipment failure causing severe health hazard due to employees exposure to the hazardous substances.
7.2.9.1 Methodology A major emergency occurring at a plant is one that may cause serious injuries, loss of life, extensive damage to property or environment or serious disruption inside or outside the plants.
This may demand the rescue and relief measures on a war footing to handle it effectively and quickly. Within the high-risk technology industries, the need for well-planned measures should be self-evident.
No matter how well a process is controlled and safeguarded by instruments and process safety procedures, it is inevitable that there is a residual risk, which is capable of causing a variety of emergencies.
The Disaster Management Plan describes the Organization & procedures for dealing with potential accidents arising from the operations of M/s. Maruti Polymer Incorporation.
Experiences of accidents that have occurred in various other similar plants were considered in the preparation of DMP especially storing & handling the materials identical to this plant. This plan will need periodic review & modification following emergency exercise, or include any new information relating to changes to the facilities.
The Factories Act, 1948 as amended in the year 1987 under section 41B requires that every occupier shall draw up a Disaster Management Plan and detailed disaster control measures for his plant and make them know to the employees and to the general public living in the vicinity of the plant.
Its objective is to reduce the severity of loss following particular hazardous incidents. At the same time, it must be clearly understood that it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards for working consistence with the requirements of safety and health inside the plants.
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
7.2.10 Information on risk evaluation preliminary hazard analysis The DMP is needed to respond to a variety of emergencies / disasters: i) Disasters due to emergency on account of: a. Fire or Explosion b. Electrical Fire
c. Spillages and Leakages d. Fire or explosion: The organization is storing &handlingflammable chemicalswhich can ignite if exposed to source of heat / ignition. The various sources of heat / ignition include hot work, mechanical frictions, naked flames, static electricity, hot surfaces etc. e. Electrical Fire: The Electrical fire may be caused due to generation of static charge during charging of materials. The other reasons for fire include use of faulty or inappropriate electrical equipment, transformers, DG sets etc. Also dry grass is normally avoided in the premises and it will be ensured that there is no grass (dry) at any point of time by ensuring better housekeeping f. Spillages and Leakages: During handling of material and plant / equipment failure causing severe health hazard due to employees exposure to the hazardous substances. Spillages and leakages of flammable substances may also lead to fire. ii) Disaster due to natural calamities such as: a. Flood b. Earth quake c. Cyclone/Storm d. Heat Wave a. Flood:
The nearest water body from the facility are Mahi River (approx. 1.05km in N direction). The heavy rainfall and water released from the Dam may increase water level in the river bed creating flood situation.
Four villages of Anand district were inundated while around 100 villagers of 13 villages have been re-located to safer spots in the villages following discharge of 1.43 lakh cusecs water from the Dharoi dam into Sabarmati River. b. Earthquake: It is found that the district falls in the seismic zone 3. c. Storm/Cyclone: Cyclones make impact by killing people, damaging property, crops and infrastructure. The area falls under category in which wind of 1-35 KMH air blown. So the chances are
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
there for storm & cyclone d. Heat Wave: The Anand region experienced the heat wave in the past history. Also it was observed that the Anand Divisions comes under vulnerable area.
iii) Disaster due to external factors such as: a. Sabotage, Civil Riots or War, Terrorism: No solution can be offered to eliminate either terrorist threats or planted bombs, but one can be well or badly prepared to cope with them when such incidents happen. It is essential for organizations to design and implement both good physical security and a comprehensive bomb threat response plan.
The action plan responding to an emergency situation depends very much on the level of the emergency which, itself is defined by the consequences arising from the types of hazard identified.
RECOMMENDATIONS Flood: • Introduce better flood warning systems • Modify homes and businesses to help them withstand floods nearby river side. • Construct buildings above flood levels • Protect wetlands and introduce plant trees strategically • Put up more flood barriers. Earthquake: • Find a clear spot away from buildings, trees, and power lines. Drop to the ground. • Don’t Rush Indoors • Stay Put remain there until the earth stops shaking • Remain Calm until the earth stops shaking Cyclone/Storm: • Immediately call ambulance & NDRF team. • Provide shelter for the victims and provide first aid on site. • Survey site and remove people from covered collapse material. Terrorist Attack/ Political Violence: • Don’t be panic and threatened. • Call the police, ambulance & District Collector.

9.2 The Environmental ManagementPlan An environmental Management Plan is prepared to mitigate and manage various environmental impacts identified. The EMP presents the project specific guidelineson:
Environmental managementstrategies Specialized engineering construction procedures in relation to environmental guidelines of thecountry Spill prevention andcontrol Management of wastes and hazardouschemicals Air, water and soil qualityprotection Noise control Soil erosion control and slopestabilization Vegetation, wildlife and habitatprotection Socio – economic and welfareconsiderations Risk and disaster management plan To prepare a checklist for statutorycompliance
Due to its complexity and implications, the implementation of the EMP must be executed utilizing a specific EMS framework. Once an EMP has been approved, it should provide the basis for environmental considerations of all the activities carried out on the site by the appointed personnel.
With respect to the various environmental impacts identified during the EIA stage, mitigation measures to prevent or minimize the impacts are suggested for all the environmental components.
The environmental management plan for the proposed project aims to mitigate the potentially detrimental impacts on the environment, both during construction and operation phases of the project. It is also necessary that continued compliance with existing environmental regulations is ensured. The construction and associated activities have been planned so as to minimize impacts on the physical, biological and socio economic cultural environments. Even though it be would naïve to expect that all detrimental impacts can be avoided, it is apparent that most of the impacts will be localized and temporary innature.

9.4.10 Green BeltDevelopment An ideal green belt always imparts scenic beauty besides providing roosting/perching place for birds and ground surface for naturally available reptiles, other flora and fauna species, to make the area more natural and hazard free.
It is proposed to plant local fast growing species for landscaping. Development of green belt with carefully selected native plant species is of prime importance due to their capacity to reduce noise and air pollution impacts by attenuation/ assimilation and for providing food and habitat for local macro and micro fauna. This not only overcomes the problem but also enhances the beauty of area that will attract bird and insect species and by this way ecology of the area will maintain to a great extent. For developing the greenbelt in and around proposed project sites care need to be taken to plant the evergreen species. The planting of evergreen species may have certain advantages that may reduce the environmental pollution.
Greenbelt Area Details
Greenbelt will be developed in 404.2 (33%) sq.m. area of the total plot area. Saplings will be planted on the periphery of the boundary of the plot.
Criteria for selection of Species for Greenbelt
The plant species suitable for greenbelt development should be selected based on the followingcharacteristics:
It will have thick canopycover They will be perennial andevergreen They will have high sink potential forpollutants They will be efficient in absorbing pollutants if any without significantly affecting their growth
Guidelines for plantation
The plant species identified for greenbelt development should be planted using pitting technique. The pit size should be either 45cm x 45cm x 45 cm or 60cm x 60cmx 60 cm. Bigger pit size is prepared on marginal and poor quality soil. Soil used for filling the pit should be mixed with well decomposed farm yard manure for 45 cm x 45cm x 45 cm x and 60cm x 60cm x 60cm size pits respectively. Healthy saplings of identified species should be planted in each pit.

Projectsitting Planning anddesign Projectconstruction Post projectoperations
EIA Report For proposed manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Resin and Acrylic Base Emulsion
The following findings are to be mentioned:
The project will have no significant environmental impacts during construction and operations. The environmental and safety aspects of the Project are straight forward and well understood
A detailed environmental impact study is carried out and EMP. No further studies are required to elaborate thesesubjects.
The EMP also provides for establishing, and maintaining a system of environmental monitoring and auditing to ensure strict compliance of all the measures identified in the EMP, and minimize adverse environmental and social impacts. Suitable provisions related to environmental management will also be made in the construction contractagreement.
Conclusions
The project can cause minor impacts only during construction phase due to the various activities involved during that phase. However, strict adherence to the various mitigation measures as identified under the EMP, strengthened by adequate environmental monitoring using best available technology (BAT) and auditing and good construction practices, including the special construction methods as prescribed, will go a long way in effectively reducing the impacts as to negligible levels.
During operation phase of the project, none of the routine activities will cause any noticeable impact on any component of the environment, including the socio economic component. Provision of green belt, storm water management and energy conservation shall further facilitate in overall scenario management of environment.
Thus, it can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation measures and Environmental Management Plan, the proposed project shall have negligible impact on environment and will benefit the local people and economy.
