The proposed product Formaldehyde, Formaldehyde based resin (Liquid), Formaldehyde based resin (Powder), Hexamine & Para Formaldehyde falls under clause No.5 (f) of category “A” as stated in Environment Impact Assessment Notification published on 14th September 2006 and hence the project proponent has to obtain the Environmental Clearance from New Delhi. As a part of this procedure, Public Hearing is required to be carried out as per the notification as well as the TOR granted to the unit by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-2).

This study of Rapid Environment Impact assessment (EIA) is based on studies carried out during the month March 2014 to May 2014. The environmental parameters (ambient air, water, soil, noise, flora and fauna) selected for study are those, which are likely to be most affected by the project. The study area is defined as an area within 5.0 Km. radius from center of the site. Socio-economic environment study is only carried out for 10 Km. radius from center of the site.

Salient Features with in 10 km radius surroundings area as follows:

2. AIR ENVIRONEMNT

The base line Ambient Air Quality (AAQ) status within 5 KM study area has been assessed through a monitoring network of 7 AAQ sampling stations during summer season March – 2014 to May - 2014. Map showing 5 Km radius area is shown here. Design of network for Ambient Air Quality monitoring locations were decided on meteorology & available infrastructure facilities. The base-line Ambient Air Quality of the study area was monitored for Particulate Matter (PM10 & PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide

(SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx). The result for the same is given here.

3. WATER ENVIRONMENT

Analysis of Ground Water & Surface Water samples revealed that the both ground water quality & surface water quality is satisfactory to serve for domestic purposes as per drinking water quality standards IS: 10500

4. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The main source of gaseous emission is flue gas emission from stack attached to Steam Boiler (0.6 MT/Hr.) and D.G Set (3 x 250 KVA).

Bio-coal/Agro Waste will be used as a fuel & the requirement shall be 2.314 MT/Day. Proper stack height (30 M) will be provided for proper atmosphere dispersion. Multi cyclone dust collector will be provided with Steam boiler & Thermic Fluid Heater. The probable emitted pollutants will be SPM, SOx & NOx. However, it will be almost within the prescribed norms. Since HSD will be used as a fuel for D. G. Set, which will be used in case of power failure, the flue gas emission will also be well within prescribed norms and there will be no need of any air pollution control measures for D. G. Set.

4.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Water requirement will be satisfied from bore-well. The total fresh water requirement will be 620.7 KL/Day that will be required for domestic, Cooling (make up), steam boiler, washing and scrubbing purpose and gardening purpose.

Industrial wastewater generated from the project will be reused in gardening. Thus industry will maintain ZERO DISCHARGE. Domestic Effluent will be disposed off into soak pit system.

Thus, there will not be any major impact on the water environment due to proposed project. Water balance diagram is shown below. Water Balance Diagram

4.3 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled & disposed as per Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling & Trans boundary Movement - Rules 2008 (amended time to time). The main hazardous waste generation will be ETP waste, used oil & Discarded Plastic Bags.

ETP waste will be disposed off at approved TSDF site, used oil will be reused within premises as a lubricant or sold to registered recycler, and discarded plastic bags will be sold to authorized vendor.

The unit will provided isolated area for the storage of hazardous waste. Thus, hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will be adequate and there will not be any major impact on the environment due to hazardous waste management.

4.4 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

The unit proposes to provide total green belt area up-to 7112.49 Sq. Mt. area for development. Thus, total water consumption will be 93 KL/D.

5. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAME

Monitoring of environmental factors will enable us to identify the changes in the environmental impacts at various locations. To ensure the effective implementation of the EMP, monitoring of ambient air quality, stack emissions, analysis & monitoring of water environment and noise level will be carried out as required / specified by statutory authority.

6. QUALITATIVE RISK ANALYSIS

Risk analysis and study have been carried out for identification of hazards, selection of credible scenarios, Risk Mitigation measures etc. All the hazardous chemicals will be stored and handled as per MSDS guidelines. Personal protective equipments will be provided to the labors.

7. Project Benefits:

The proposed project will become beneficial to the surrounding area or community in terms of infrastructural development, social development, employment and other benefits.

The proposed project has a potential for employment of skilled, semiskilled and unskilled employees during construction phase as well as operation phase. A total 50 nos. of person is likely to get employment due to the project. The project will spend 1.5 % of the total profit for socio-economic development & for nearby educational institutes. The proposed project will be active in CSR Activity.

8. Conclusion:

 Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air pollution control measures will be provided.

 No ecological damage will occur.

 No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.

 Local employment opportunities will increase.

 Various other environment parameters like Forest/ National Park/ Sanctuary and Religious / Historical Places will not be affected.

 Environment Management Plan has been formulated to control all the pollutant parameters and Environment Management Cell has been set-up to ensure that these parameters do not exceed the norms set out by the concerned authorities.

 After commissioning of the proposed project the Environmental Management Cell will take care of all the pollution control measures.

 It can be concluded that positive implementation of mitigation measures and environmental management plan during the construction & operational phase, there will be negligible impact on the environment.
