1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities details of the existing landuse disturbance to the local ecology).

Existing Facilities The impact due to the proposed project may be increase in the traffic loads, increase in the noise levels during construction activities, and dust emissions emanating from various construction activities. Due care will be taken during construction as well as operational phase to minimize the impact on surroundings such as excavation activities, shielding of construction site, wetting of roads, stockpiles, etc.

There will not be any significant impact of the proposed activities on the existing facilities adjacent to the proposed site, as the has already provided all the facilities such as connectivity, roads, open space, water supply, drainage and Sewer etc. keeping in view the land use as per Master Plan. There is no disturbance to the local ecology.

Disturbance to the local ecology The extent of impact on the native species is proportional to the area of disturbances, since the project site is falling in the city itself so no significant disturbance is anticipated.

1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc may be given). Soil Type: . Type of soil: Sandy Loam . There will be no significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence or instability. The area is fairly plain and subsoil strata are alluviums deposited by water courses, geologically the litho log sections show dominant of sand percentage. The result of soil sample analysis collected within the study area will be given and discussed in detailed EIA Report.

Erosion / Subsidence: . Project will provide ample green space. Therefore, it will not cause any soil erosion, subsidence or instability problems.

Seismicity: According to the Indian Standard Seismic Zoning Map, the area under study falls in Zone-IV (refer Fig.1). Suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical directions will be adopted while designing the structures.

1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contour map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site). The proposed project activities will not cause any alteration of natural drainage system. The run-off generated from roof top areas will be used for ground water recharge through rain water harvesting Systems. The run-off collected from open, green and paved areas will be discharged into nearby drain. Hence, there will be no alteration to natural drainage system. The drainage pattern of the site is in line with the natural drainage system.

1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity cutting, filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc.). During construction phase, soil will be excavated in order to provide foundations and basement. It is estimated that approx. 2878703.05 m3 for part-1 &796470 m3 for part-2 of earth material will be excavated during initial construction phase for foundations, basement etc. Excavated material will be properly stacked within the site under tarpaulin cover and 80-90% will be re-used for road construction and filling low-lying areas. The top-soil will be preserved separately and will be used for landscaping purpose only. Hence, no immediate adverse impacts on the land environment are envisaged.

1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc during the construction period. Water supply Water requirement during construction phase will vary depending upon construction activities and will be met by municipal water at the site along with the private water tankers if required.

Waste Generation / Handling Construction debris and other waste generated during construction phase will be collected and disposed off by the contractor. The fertile top soil will be reused for horticultural purpose. Spillage of oil from the machinery or cement residual from concrete mixer plants will be properly collected and disposed off through the contractor. For construction laborers, proper sanitary facilities & wash areas will be provided and good hygienic conditions will be maintained.

Waste generated from construction phase will be managed by the contractor.

1.8 Will the low-lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity). No wetlands are present in and around the project site. Soil excavated during construction phase will be used in filling low lying areas within the project site. The nearest water body from the site is Hindon River which lies at a distance of around 7.0 km.

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the construction labour and the means of disposal) Construction Waste Wastes which will be generated during the construction phase include the following:  Excavated materials from earthworks (e.g. cuttings, basement excavation, foundation etc.)  general construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and empty cement bags);  chemical wastes generated by general site practices (e.g. vehicle and plant maintenance/servicing, paint residues etc.); and  Municipal wastes generated by site workers.

Most of the construction waste will be reused in road construction and surplus will be sold to recyclers.

Excavated Materials from Earthworks It is estimated that approx. 2878703.05 m3 of earth material will be excavated during initial construction phase for foundations, basement etc. About 80-90% of excavated material will be re- used for the road construction and filling low-lying areas and the top soil will be used exclusively for landscaping purposes. Thus no health hazards are anticipated.

Municipal Waste & Other waste Site construction workers will generate municipal wastes which will comprise food wastes, packaging and waste paper. No accurate figures are available on the likely volumes to be generated although 0.3 Kg/capita /day of municipal waste may be expected for around 300 workers. The domestic waste generated during the construction from construction camps shall be disposed off through septic tank / soak pit or municipal sewer.

Some amount of debris, cuttings and construction materials may be observed at construction site. However the quantity of their waste materials would be very small and limits up to the construction site only. Contamination by these wastes would be negligible and would be collected time to time during construction phase and disposed off accordingly. The Impact on soil during construction phase will be marginal and reversible in nature

2. WATER ENVIRONMENT 2.1 Give the total quantity of water requirement for the proposed project with the breakup of requirements for various uses. How will the water requirement met? State the sources & quantities and furnish a water balance statement. Water Requirement, Source and Water Balance During Operation phase old water requirement was 9733.03 KLD while revised requirement is 4907 KLD (@ 80% of the fresh water and recycled water for flushing). In revised data, population is decreased with respect to decrease in DUs, due to which water demand is also decreased. This sewage will be treated in the Common Sewage Treatment Plant (CSTP) of Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority

2.2 What is the capacity (dependable flow or yield) of the proposed source of water? During Operation phase old water requirement was 9733.03 KLD while revised requirement is 4907 KLD (@ 80% of the fresh water and recycled water for flushing). In revised data, population is decreased due to which water demand is also decreased. This sewage will be treated in the Common Sewage Treatment Plant (CSTP) of Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority.

2.3 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a municipal source? (Provide physical, chemical, biological characteristics with class of water quality). The supply is through Municipal supply, the quality of water is drinkable as per norms. Physical, chemical, biological characteristics with class of water quality will be provided in the detailed EIA Report.

2.4 How much of the water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater? (Give the details of quantities, sources and usage). 1205 KLD (Revised) of water will be met recycling of treated wastewater for Flushing, Horticulture & Misc. etc. Details of water usage are given in table 4 and figure 3.

2.5 Will there be diversion of water from other users? (Please assess the impacts of the project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption). There is no diversion of water from other users, as the supplies are planned as per Master Plan.

2.5 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed activity? (Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the proposed activity). During operational phase waste water generated is 3804 KLD which will be treated in CSTP . 1205 KLD will be recycled water received from CSTP after tertiary treatment and shall be used for flushing, horticulture and DG set cooling. Thus no incremental pollution load from waste water generated.

2.6 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities created. Water harvesting systems have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The rainwater collected from the rooftop and other paved areas will be conveyed into the rainwater harvesting system consisting of Desilting-cum-filter Chamber, oil and grease separators for recharge into the groundwater. Green areas are not considered for computation of peak run off as there will be natural recharge from green area.

The intensity of rainfall decreases with duration. Analysis of the observed data on intensity duration of rainfall of past records over a period of years in the area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for given frequencies. The longer the record available, the more dependable is the forecast. In the present conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in design is usually in the range of 12 mm/hr to 30 mm/hr. However, as per last 10 years data, the intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 40 mm/hr.

2.7 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long-term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way? The intensity of rainfall decreases with duration. Analysis of the observed data on intensity duration of rainfall of past records over a period of years in the area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for given frequencies. In the present conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in design is usually in the range of 20 mm/15 min to 30 mm/15 min. However, as per last 10 years data, the intensity of precipitation for design of drainage scheme has been taken 25 mm/15 min.

No adverse impacts are envisaged due to proposed project on the run off characteristics of the area as adequate arrangements have been made to trap the rainwater and suitable storm water drainage system has been provided. During the post-construction phase, Runoff from the project shall not be allowed to stand and create water logging or enter into the road side or nearby drain. Adequate measures shall be taken to collect such run off and either shall be reuse or stored in recharging pits. Suitable garlanding drain as per the existing contours of the plot will be developed. There is no landscape change planned. The project will not aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way, as the topography is plain.

2.8 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained from competent authority, if any).

. There will be no impact on the groundwater as no water abstraction is proposed. Actually the groundwater will be augmented further as rainwater harvesting is proposed.

. The water requirement during construction will be met through YEIDA along with tankers . The rain water collected from Roof top, green areas (natural recharge) and open areas will be sent for ground water recharging through 158 nos. of RWH SYSTEMS. . A major part of the area is under green or open land. Therefore, most of the rain water will be directly infiltrated through these open/green areas. . Hence no adverse impacts are envisaged due to the project on the ground water quality and the level. Maximum recharging of the underground aquifer will be done to compensate the extracted water.

Ground water study Occurrence of Ground Water Ground water occurs under both unconfined conditions in shallow aquifers down to the depth of 100 m bgl, and confined to semi-confined conditions in intermediate and deeper aquifers. The aquifers are made up of fine to coarse sand and occasional gravel within the alluvial deposit often separated by thick clay beds. Multiple aquifer groups occur upto 350 m/depth. Depth to water level

Depth to water level maps, for pre-monsoon and post monsoon periods prepared by CGWB for Gautam Buddha Nagar District have revealed that the entire area can be divided into different zones on the basis of depth to water ranges. Fairly a large area has shallow to moderate depth to water. Water level in unconfined aquifer ranges from 3.35 to 14.40 m bgl during pre-monsoon period and from 2.00m to 13.95 m bgl during post monsoon period. Deeper water levels (> 9 m bgl) also occur along Yamuna River perhaps indicating that the water levels are deepening towards river thus rendering the river effluent in nature.

Ground Water Quality  As such the ground water in shallow zones is of good quality except at places where it is deteriorated (EC more than 1000 micro Siemens /cm at 25°C) with depth. Salinity has been found as high as more than 4000 micro Siemens /cm at 25°C at few isolated pockets in Sorkha and Harola villages.  Fluoride content is also found slightly more than permissible limit in a sample from Luharli village.  An isolated sample from town however, shows that Chloride, Nitrate and Sodium contents are quite high which may probably be the result of leaching from domestic waste disposals.  Manganese concentration in NOIDA urban areas is however, presumed to be attributed from outside sources as the river water also show a bit higher value of manganese. The manganese is considered to be the least toxic of heavy metals.

The Project area is situated in Bisrakh block and is under safe zone.

2.9 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts). Effective measures will be adapted to reduce the storm water run-off from the construction site-  Ensuring vehicles stick to the access track.  Cleaning all mud and dirt deposited on roads from construction-related activities.  Excavation work will not be carried out during monsoon season.  Constructing a fence around the site to trap sediment whilst allowing water to flow through.  Diverting up-slope water with turf and not mixing mortar in locations that will drain into storm water system.  Preventing wastewater from brick cutting activities and stockpiles entering the storm water system.  Construction material will be stored in temporary shed at the earmarked place and will be covered ensuring that no leach ate or spoilage of land occurs.  Curing water will be sprayed and, after liberal curing, all concrete structures will be painted with curing compound & covered with gunny bags, then the water will be sprayed.

2.10 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels). The storm water from roof top, paved surfaces and landscaped surfaces will be properly channelized to the rain water harvesting sumps through efficient storm water drain network. The storm water drain has been designed to cater the flow during peak intensity of rain (40 mm/hr). The water recharge structure has also been designed for peak intensity and for maximum capture of surface run off. The rain water harvested is used for ground water recharge to keep the ground water level consistent. The storm water drains will be cleaned in the pre monsoon phase so that the possibility of the groundwater pollution & water logging can be minimized / avoided.

2.11 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation). Sewerage and solid waste will be generated from temporary labour camps on site, which will be temporary in nature during the initial construction phase. Waste bins will be placed near the camps for solid waste collection; the camp’s solid waste will be properly disposed as per MSW Rules 2000 by the authorized agency. The sewerage will be treated in portable STP and finally discharged into municipal sewer. Therefore during, construction their will not be any unsanitary conditions around the project area.

2.12 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal). Construction phase The waste water to the tune of 5.0 KLD from toilets will be diverted to portable STP and finally disposed to municipal sewers. Post construction phase During operational phase waste water generated is 3804 KLD which will be treated in CSTP. 1205 KLD will be recycled water received from CSTP after tertiary treatment and shall be used for flushing, horticulture. Reclaimed water 1205 KLD will be recycled water received from CSTP after tertiary treatment and shall be used for flushing, horticulture and DG set cooling.

2.13 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or any other use. During operational phase waste water generated is 3804 KLD which will be treated in CSTP. 1205 KLD will be recycled water received from CSTP after tertiary treatment and shall be used for flushing, horticulture.
