The proposed land is spread over an area of 0.4047 ha. The total built- up area for the project will be of 25,771.2 sqm.

The land for the project is leased to the project proponent by Technopark (A society wholly controlled by Government of Kerala) for a period of 99 years.

The population expected during construction phase of the project is about 300 persons per day which includes the skilled, semi skilled & unskilled workers. Also, this includes engineers, supervisors, technicians & other managerial staff.

The population calculation for the proposed project during the operation phase of the project is made based on the specifications provided in National Building Code (NBC). The maximum expected population in a day during operation phase of the proposed IT/ITES office building project is worked out. The specifications as per NBC and the expected population for the proposed buildings is given below:-

FAR Area Activity Population (in sq.m.) 1,814 Persons IT/ITES office 18,140 ( @ 10 sq.m. per person of FAR area )

181 Persons Housekeeping staff -- ( 10% of I.T. staff of 1,814 Persons )

TOTAL 1,995 Persons say 2,000 Persons

One of the main criteria for quantifying the environment impacts related to the project during the construction phase and operation phase for the project is the maximum population expected in a day. Based on

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 64 Proposed IT/ITES office building project of M/s Brigade Enterprises Ltd.

which the requirement of daily water consumption, waste water generation, solid waste generation etc. is calculated. The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner and to understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to minimize those risks. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the planned design and by taking appropriate mitigation measures to reduce adverse environmental impacts during the project’s life cycle. 2. AREAS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND IMPACTS The environmental parameters likely to be affected by a construction project are related to many factors, i.e. physical, social, economic etc. The operations may disturb environment of the project area and its surroundings in various ways, such as removal of mass / earth, change of landscape, clearing of flora and displacement of fauna of the area, surface drainage, and likely change in air quality, water quality and soil quality. While for the purpose of development and economic up-liftment of people, there is need for establishment of the project, but these should be environment friendly. Then only a sustainable development can be ensured. Therefore, it is essential to assess the impacts of proposed project on different environmental parameters, before starting the construction activities as well as the operational activities, so that abatement measures could be planned in advance for the area. 3. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) The Environment Management Plan (EMP) for a development project prescribes the mitigation measures to be adopted to nullify or to minimize various anticipated environment impacts so as to ensure nil / low impact due to the project to the surrounding environment. This will ensure sustainable and environment friendly development. The Environment Management Plan for various facets of environment are given below : -

F. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.1 Introduction This chapter broadly looks at various aspects related to risk & disaster management and resource conservation. 1.2 Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan 1.2.1 Need and Plans The proposed project is for construction of IT/ITES office building within the Technopark Phase-1 Campus encompasses the lives of a large number of people. It also involves installation of various structures and machineries that meet the comfort and needs of its population but may also pose serious threat to the occupants in case of accident. It is thus considered necessary to carry out a risk assessment and prepare a disaster management plan for the project. The planning and construction of the buildings follow all the safety norms, it may not be always possible to totally eliminate the risks of eventualities and failures of equipment or human errors. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore will be concerned with mitigating the effects of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. The overall objective of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make uses of combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following: 1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it; 2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property; 3. Effectively rescue and medical treatment of casualties; 4. Safeguard to other people;

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 82 Proposed IT/ITES office building project of M/s Brigade Enterprises Ltd.

5. Evacuate people to safe areas; 6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities; 7. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control; 8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and circumstances of the emergency; 9. Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence The ERP is therefore related to identification of sources from which hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The response plan takes into account the maximum credible loss scenario - actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need to be well planned so that they would require less effort and resources to control and terminate emergencies, should the same occur. Main hazards identified for the project include hazards pertaining to fires in buildings and fire in diesel storage areas, earthquake and LPG leakage an ERP pertaining to these condition is described in the following sections. 1.2.2 Response in Case of Earthquake Response Procedures for Occupants If indoors : 1. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on. 2. Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the building because objects can fall on you. If outdoors : Move into the open, away from buildings, streetlights and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. If in a moving vehicle : Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear / safe area away from buildings, trees, overpasses or utility wires. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake. After the quake 1. After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 83 Proposed IT/ITES office building project of M/s Brigade Enterprises Ltd.

2. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may bring weakened structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Help injured or trapped persons . 1. Give first aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help. 2. Remember to help those who may require special assistance, like infants, the elderly and people with disabilities. 3. Stay out of damaged buildings. 4. Use the telephone only for emergency calls. Response Procedure for Emergency Team 1. Formulate an Emergency Response Team for earthquake response 2. Using the public address system, inform occupiers about response procedures discussed above. 3. Inform the necessary authorities for aid 4. Ensure no residents are stuck beneath any debris, in case of a structural failure. 5. Ensure that all occupiers standing outside near the buildings are taken to open areas. 6. Ensure that the first aid ambulance and fire tender vehicles are summoned if necessary. 7. Inform the nearby hospitals if there are any injuries. 8. Check the utilities and storage tanks for any damage. 1.2.3 Status on natural disasters w.r.t. site and surroundings Earthquakes :- As per seismic classification, the project site falls in Zone-III. The maximum expected earthquake intensity is VIII in MM scale or 5.6 M in Richter scale. Though small and medium earthquakes have occurred in the region.

Recommendations The following recommendations were made for the sustainable development of the project so as to protect the biodiversity of the area. 1. The landscaping will include fruit trees and shade trees to attract birds. As much as possible, native plants will be used for landscaping. 2. A bird bath will be provided in the garden which in turn helps the birds to get water during summer season. 3. Renewable sources of power like solar power should be installed and all the street lights should be powered by solar. 4. Proper waste management will be practiced with source segregation (colour coded bins should be used) and recycling of waste.

INTRODUCTION To gather accurate information and identify the needs of the nearby community to the project site, a community need assessment study was carried out by Socio – Economic Expert, accredited by NABET in Trivandrum Corporation. The main purpose of the study was to assist the project proponent for taking up community welfare activities under their Corporate Environmental Responsibility (CER) as per OM dt. 01-05-2018 issued by MoEF&CC. Approach adopted To conduct the study, primary and secondary data were used. Primary Data: Stake holder interviews, unstructured interview, field observation, and telephonic survey. Secondary data: Yearly Project Document and Development Charter of LSG

TECHNOPARK In March 1990, the Government of Kerala conceptualised Technopark as a facility to foster the development of high-technology industries in the state. Technopark was set up under the auspices of Electronics Technology Park, Kerala—an autonomous body under the Department of Information Technology of the government of Kerala. Technopark is owned and administered by the Government of Kerala and is headed by a chief executive officer. In addition to this, it has a Governing Council and a Project Implementation Board, both of which include top officials of the government. [5] Administrative offices, including that of the CEO, are housed in the Park Centre building. Technopark also hosts a Technology Business Incubation Cell under Kerala Startup Mission. Technopark houses domestic firms, joint ventures, and subsidiaries of foreign companies engaged in a wide variety of activities, which include embedded software development, smart card technology, enterprise resource planning (ERP), process control software design, engineering and computer-aided design software development, IT Enabled Services (ITES), process re-engineering, animation, and e-business. The project falls in Trivandrum Corporation.

Thiruvannathapuram Corporation Thiruvananthapuram is known as the city of temples, Museums, Institutions and land of Art and Culture. The Thiruvananthapuram Municipality came into existence in 1920. After two decades, during the reign of Sere Chithira Thirunal, Thiruvananthapuram municipality was converted into Corporation on 30 th October 1940.
