Prefeasibility report 2. INTRODUCTION OF THE PROJECT/BACKGROUND INFORMATIONS

2.1 Identification of the Project Proponent Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Board (KIADB) is a wholly owned infrastructure agency of Government of Karnataka, set up under Karnataka Industrial Areas Development Act of 1966. This Board functions as per statutory provisions, rules and regulations enacted there under. The Board comprises of senior government officers in their ex-officio capacities. KIADB holds pride in being the first government organisation in Karnataka to obtain ISO 9001 certification in the year 1997.

Now the KIADB is following ISO 9001:2000 module covering its functions of Land Acquisition, Development and Allotment functions in Bangalore Urban and Rural districts.

KIADB has so far developed 141 industrial areas in 28 districts of the State. KIADB has proposed to develop CANARA Industrial Area in an area of 585.66 acres near Ira, Chelur, Balepuni and Kurnadu village,Bantwal Taluk, and Dakshina Kannada District

The Ministry of Environment and Forest (MoEF), Government of India in its latest Notification (dated 14th September, 2006) on EIA directs that on and from the date of publication of new Notification construction of new projects or activities or the expansion or modernization of existing projects or activities listed in the Schedule should undertake the EIA/EMP study before any construction work.

KIADB as a part of the compliance to the regulatory requirement i.e, to obtain Environmental Clearance from MoEF has appointed ABC Techno Labs India Private Limited (Consultant), Chennai as Environmental Consultants who are accreditated by National Accreditation Board for Education and Training (NABET)-Quality Council of India (QCI), New Delhi.

3.8 Water requirement & Power requirement and its sources Water Require amount of water for the proposed project is about 1.89 MLD and it will be drawn from the Nethravathi River through Irrigation Department for the proposed industrial area. Power The power requirement for the proposed development is 43.92 MW. The source of power will be from Mangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (MESCOM)/KPTCL.

3.9 Quantity of wastes to be generated (liquid & solid) & scheme for their management/disposal The manufacturing/ production sections will produce the Industrial fraction of waste and the non-production sections such as administration buildings, green spaces, roads and the working population will generate the Municipal waste. The quantities of waste likely to be generated from the proposed project have been estimated on the basis of population and land use characteristics.

The industries generating solid waste have to manage such waste by themselves and are required to seek authorizations from Karnataka Pollution Control Boards under relevant rules. 3.10 Schematic representations of the feasibility drawing which give information of EIA purposes The Land use plan of the proposed project is enclosed below in Figure 3.4

4.6 Climatic Data from Secondary sources

The climate in Dakshina Kannada is quite solubnous, with three different seasons. The pre monsoon starts from January to May. This period can be divided in to winter January to February and summer (march-may) winter is characterised by generally clear skies and very little rainfall. From April onwards erratic thunderstorms occur increasing during the month of May. The mean annual rainfall of the district is 3975 mm.

4.7 Soil Types

Dakshina Kannada District can be divided broadly into three well-defined physiographic units viz. i) Coastal plain ii) Upland pediplain area iii) Eastern hilly area forming part of the Western Ghats. The Coastal plain is a narrow, thickly populated and intensely cultivated area adjoining the coast. There is considerable extent of barren land along the coast partly because it is sandy, rocky, and marshy. The Upland pediplain area interspersed with low hills between the Western Ghats and the coast, which is moderately cultivated with a considerable extent of fallow land, which can be put

Prefeasibility report to agricultural use. The Eastern hilly area in the eastern part of the district is hilly with thick forest cover, which forms part of the Western Ghats. The hills of the area range in elevation from 1200 to 1500m a.m.s.l. and are capped with laterite, which form plateau usually of oval or elongated configuration. The hill ranges are dissected by numerous streams and rivulets.

Prefeasibility report 6. PROPOSED INFRASTRUCTURE

6.1 Industrial Area

Industrial Plots: 404.60 Acres will be facilitated as processing zone of various industries.

Roads: The roads will be proposed for the project not less than 7m wide

Approach Road: A suitable approach road from the State highway to the proposed site besides the existing roads. Water Supply System: Required amount of water (1.89MLD) will be drawn from Nethravathi River. Power: The power requirement for the proposed development is 43.92 MW. The source of power will be from Mangalore Electricity Supply Company Limited (MESCOM)/KPTCL. Rain Water Harvesting System: The proposed expansion activity includes the rain water harvesting system through RWH structures like percolation pits proposed to be constructed along storm water drain at 100 m interval.

Percolation pit will be at 30 cm diameter & 3 meters depth and Filled with broken half bricks (pebbles) for 2.85 m from bottom and coarse sand for the top 15 cm. The top covered with perforated R.C.C. slab, these pits will be made at intervals of 100 m centre to centre along the pitch boundary. Rain water collected in the terrace will be collected through a 150 mm PVC pipes down take and collected in rain water water system. Storm water Drainage: Suitable storm water drainage system will be connected based on rainfall intensity. Fire Fighting Systems: The design and planning of Fire Fighting System shall be done keeping in view the following criteria: • National Building Code Sept 2005: Part IV for Fire Protection • Local Bye-Laws. • Relevant BIS codes: Specifically IS: 5290 and IS: 5312, IS: 908 and IS: 2190, IS: 3844, IS: 15105. • TAC (Tariff Advisory Committee) Manual (for reference and guideline). • Consultation with local Chief Fire Officer.

Prefeasibility report External & internal fire hydrants at suitable and convenient locations shall be provided on fire water supply mains. The fire extinguishers will be located all over the building for immediate use. The type of hand appliances provided is such that the fire extinguishers can be directly taken and used for firefighting purpose at any location inside the building.

The ring main hydrant system consists of the hydrant valves, hose reels, heavy pipe to withstand a developing pressure of 10 Kg/Sq.cm, branch pipes, M.S. hose box, anti–corrosive treatment, pumps, priming tank, valves (Sluice valve, non- return valve, air release valve) and cables. Green Belt Development: 15m buffer zone along the boundary of the project site will be marked for green belt development. Also landscaping will be done along the roads. The proposed project also proposed to have parks. Amenities: Provision of plots for Police Station, toilet facility, ETP, Canteen, electric grid, public transport & solid waste management etc., will be made. Sewerage System: A well planned sewerage network is being planned for the proposed industrial area.

6.2 Industrial & Solid waste Management

The manufacturing/ production sections will produce the Industrial fraction of waste and the non-production sections such as administration buildings, green spaces, roads and the working population will generate the Municipal waste. The quantities of waste likely to be generated from the proposed project have been estimated on the basis of population and land use characteristics. The industries generating solid waste have to manage such waste by themselves and are required to seek authorizations from Karnataka Pollution Control Boards under relevant rules. For management of Industrial waste individual industrial units may consider having an agreement with the nearest Treatment, Storage, Disposal Facility (TSDF) operator to dispose the hazardous waste. TSDF sites generally have land filling and incineration facilities are available within their premises.
