Chapter 1. Introduction

1.1 Purpose of the Report

M/s. Deendayal Port Trust has proposed three (03) projects in Kandla Port area at Kandla. The objective of the study is to assess the environmental impacts of the proposed projects. The type and intensity of impacts on the various components of the environment vary depending on the nature and size of the project as well as its geographical locations. The net impacts from individual projects can be identified through Environmental Impact Assessment studies of various components of environment such as noise, air, water, land, biological and socioeconomic. EIA studies form the basis for preparing an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to conserve the environment of the area. The ToR issued for three integrated facilities of Deendayal Port Trust at Kandla by MoEF, New Delhi is enclosed as Annexure-I.

The proposed projects also attract CRZ Notification on Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) 2011, which provides Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) and regulating activities i.e. imposing restrictions on industries, operations and processes in the CRZ area. CRZ is defined as all coastal stretches of seas, bays, estuaries, creeks, rivers and back waters which are influenced by tidal action (in the land ward side) up to 500 m from the High Tide Line (HTL) and the land between the High Tide Line and Low Tide Line (LTL). The HTL means the line on the land up to, which the highest water line reaches during spring tide. As per CRZ notification it is necessary to obtain CRZ clearance from Ministry of Environment and Forest, New Delhi, prior to any developmental activity in CRZ area. Deendayal Port Trust had been appointed Anna University (MoEF authorized agency for HTL/LTL demarcation) for the preparation of CRZ map as per the requirement of CRZ notification, 2011 for obtaining CRZ clearance and a field survey was carried out at project site during pre‐monsson seasons (One Month) for collection of primary data and physical information. Secondary information with regard to the demographic profile, habitation, climatic conditions, water resources, land use pattern, cropping pattern, biological indicators, historical importance, industrial development and other environmentally sensitive parameters around the Kandla port where modification is

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 1 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Deendayal Port at Kandla proposed was also collected for authentication of primary data. The information collected was validated at site. For baseline data generation a study area of 10 km radius around the proposed project site was considered. The EIA report based on one month baseline data has been prepared, which covers all individual components of environment and are described in detail in the subsequent chapters.

1.2 Identification of Project and Project Proponent Kandla Port is the busiest port of India and serves as the gateway for the trade generating from/to the entire Northern India. In the terms of cargo handling, Kandla Port has achieved the first position among all the Major Ports of India, in most of the years in last decade. To enhance the cargo handling capacity and to handle bigger size vessels, Kandla Port has long been focusing on various measures like adding the new facilities, strengthening the existing facilities, etc.

1.3 Brief Description of Nature, Size, Location of the Projects and Importance to Country, Region Kandla Port is situated at Latitude 23º 01’ N and Longitude 70º 13’ E on the shores of the Kandla Creek. It is in the district of Kutch and is located on the west bank of Kandla creek which runs into the Gulf of Kutch at a distance of 90 nautical miles from the Arabian Sea. The location of project site is depicted in Figure-1&2, given below. The width of the channel varies from 200 meters to 1,000 meters. The contour depth along the shipping channel is around 10 meters. The total length of the Kandla Port approach Channel is around 23 kms. Navigation is permitted during the day and night according to the draft of the ship. Pilots board the ships at Outer tuna buoy (OTB) at least two hours before high tide. Dredging is undertaken throughout the year. Ships with 13 meters draft can also be brought in during the tidal window.

1.6 Methodology for Environment Impact Assessment

The study was organized to incorporate all relevant critical issues of the proposed project. It was undertaken to gather relevant information from available sources followed by conducting a field survey to the proposed project site and surrounding areas for environmental impact assessment and mitigation measures.

Various components of environment covered under the study are discussed below:

A. Air Environment Ambient air quality data within the study area were collected. Taking into account micro‐meteorological conditions, sampling sites were identified. Six ambient air quality monitoring stations were selected within the study area. The parameters selected for

ambient air quality status were PM10, PM2.5, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen

(NOX) and Carbon monoxide (CO). All the parameters were monitored on 24 hour cycle. The meteorological parameters were also recorded by installing meteorological station at the plant site to determine the prevailing meteorological conditions during the study period.

B. Noise Environment Noise pollution may cause an adverse effect on human beings and associated environment including land, domestic animals, wild life and natural ecological systems. Hence, noise level surveys were carried out at site and at ten different locations within the study area of the project

C. Water Environment

2.3 Type of the Projects  Development of Container Terminal at Tuna off Terka on BOT basis

Deendayal Port Trust is the proponent (as the Port Authority) of the proposed project to be developed on BOT Basis through PPP mode. The proposed project has been identified as part of a series of capacity additions envisaged to augment the port capacity at various facility locations of Deendayal Port Trust. The project is a development of Container terminal to be developed through PPP model on BOT basis. The proposed container terminal is located on the 9.4m contour. The Quay and Apron areas will be constructed away from the land, in the deep waters so as to minimize the dredging requirement, forming the offshore section of the port. The backup land will be reclaimed to accommodate the onshore portion of port. The offshore portion will be connected to land side portion of the port with trestle. The land side portion includes stacking and evacuation infrastructure i.e. rail yard and gate and other utilities. There is no interlinked or interdependent project.

 Construction of Port Craft Jetty & shifting of SNA Section at Deendayal Port Trust

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 26 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Deendayal Port at Kandla This Pontoon jetty is located after the approach jetty on the left side on north. The overall size of this jetty is 114.95 x 12 m. the dredge level at face of this jetty is taken as ‐ 10.35m. It is proposed to have 17 rows of R.C.C Bored cast‐in‐situ 1000mm diameter piles in the longitiudinal directions and 3 rows in the transverse direction. In longitudinal direction the spacing is 7m. the spacing in the transverse direction is 5m with a cantilever projection of 1m on both sides. The piles are connected with main beams (1300 x 1450mm) in the transverse direction and longitunal beam (600 x 850mm) in longitudinal direction. Secondary beam of 600 x 850mm is proposed in between longitunal beams to reduce the span of slabs. Pile muff shall be of size 1500 x 1500 x 400mm. the slab thickness proposed is 250mm. The top level of the deck shall be +9.14m (including 100mm thick wearing coat).

 Providing Railway Line from NH-8A to Tuna Port- 11.00 km.

Provision of BG Railway line from NH 8A to Tuna Port. The same it is proposed to develop the facility at Tuna at Kandla Port to handle all kind of cargo. Commissioning of the proposed facility shall augment th cargo handling capacity of Kandla Port by 5.49 MMTPA. Hence this project should be seen as part of larger Kandla Port complex with interlinked operations.

2.4 Need of the Projects The country, especially northern India is heavily dependent on Deendayal Port Trust for its trade requirements due to its peculiar land locked location compared to many other regions of India which are comparatively quite nearer to the sea shore. Some state of central India like Madhya Pradesh is also dependent for its specific trade requirement on Deendayal Port Trust. Hence, considering the vast hinterland that is dependent on DPT for seaborne trade and currently prevailing traffic congestion at existing facilities of DPT,Capacity additions are of utmost importance at DPT for serving the economy of the influence region and in turn, the economy of the whole country in the best possible manner.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 27 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Deendayal Port at Kandla 1) Container Terminal at Tuna Off-Tekra on BOT Basis

This container terminal will help reduce the burden on JNPT port as major share of container cargo in India is currently handled by JNPT. It will also save the Logistic Cost for the cargo of northern hinterland as offering the container handling services at Kandla Port would save the ocean freight from DPT to JNPT as well as the road/rail freight from JNPT to at least northern parts of Gujarat. This implies not only the cost but also the time saving.

2) Port Craft Jetty and SNA Section: It is submitted that since the starting of DPT, Signal and Navigational Aid (SNA) Section and Port Craft Parking jetty have been operated from the Bunder Basin Area. These structures were badly damaged in the cyclone of 1998 and the Earthquake of 2001. This necessitated re‐ location of SNA section and Port Craft Jetty from the safety point of view and also for smooth functioning of port operations. SNA jetty is primarily meant for parking of port crafts and no cargo handling activity is carried out at this facility

3) Providing Railway Line from NH 8A to Tuna Port

Deendayal Port Trust is one of the busiest ports of India and has been achieving first position in cargo handling almost all the times in last decade. To handle such a large quantum of cargo, the berth occupancy has always been around 90% for handling dry cargo as against ideal berth occupancy of 70%. Such high berth occupancy is in fact not desirable for essential maintenance of the berthing and allied structures. There is consistent increase in dry cargo handled at Port in the past. Dry cargo handled at Port has increased from around 8.30 Million Tons to around 46.28 Million Tons during last 13 years.

The projections show that the traffic is going to increase manifold in coming years at Kandla Port. To overcome all the above constraints, Kandla Port has chalked out an expansion plan. The Kandla Creek, near which the Port is situated, has a very limited draught. The vessels of bigger size i.e. Panamax and Post Panamax etc. carrying more than

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 28 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Deendayal Port at Kandla 75000 DWT cannot enter in to Kandla creek for direct handling of cargo at existing berths within Kandla creek.

As a part of the future expansion plan, the Port has also under taken highly ambitious project for the “Development of Dry Bulk Terminal off Tekra near Tuna” at an estimated cost of Rs. 1060 Crores and capacity of 14.112 Million Tons to handle dry cargo. It has become essential to connect the Tuna barge jetty with a broad gauge railway lines for faster and economic evacuation of cargo as well as to provide connectivity to the proposed three phases of berthing facility development off Tekra near Tuna.

Existing Liquid Cargo Handling Capacity

Presently, four numbers oil jetties are handling liquid cargo at Old Kandla Port. In future, proposed one number oil jetty shall be commissioned for handling liquid cargo at Old Kandla Port. The combined capacity of all facilities at Kandla Port for handling liquid cargo (excluding containers) is shown in the graph below:

Total Capacity: 11.39 MMTPA

Capacity in MMTPA

Year

Figure 3: Combined Capacity of All Facilities at Kandla Port for Handling Liquid Cargo

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 29 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Deendayal Port at Kandla

As could be seen from the above figure, the existing capacity of all 4 nos oil jetty is 8 MMTPA which shall be augmented by 3.39 MMTPA in the year 2014‐15 after the commissioning of proposed new oil jetty which shall take the total liquid cargo handling capacity at Kandla Port to 11.39 MMTPA.

Trends in the past liquid cargo traffic The liquid cargo handled at Kandla Port is shown in the figure below. As could be seen, liquid cargo traffic at Kandla Port has increased at a compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of 6.22 % over the last five years. This growth rate has been used for arriving at liquid cargo projections at Kandla Port over the next 30 years.

This section describes the sampling locations, frequency of sampling and methodology adopted for monitoring ambient air quality. The results of monitoring during the study period (01 February 2018 to 28 February 2018) are also presented. The study area represents the area occupied by Deendayal Port Trust and its associated facilities, as well as the surrounding area comprising of few villages. The sources of air pollution in the region are vehicular traffic, fuel burning, loading & unloading of dry cargo, fugitive emissions from storage area and dust arising from unpaved village roads.

3.1.2.1 Methodology adopted for the Study Sampling Locations, Parameters and Frequency

Calibrated Respirable Dust Samplers were used for the sampling of PM10, PM2.5, SO2,

NOx and CO. Ambient air sampling for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx and CO was performed continuously for 24 hours to determine 24‐hour average concentrations. Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out with a frequency of two days per week at all locations. The sampling was performed at a height of 3.5 m (approximately) from the ground level. Standard methods specified under "National Ambient Air Quality Standards" notification G.S.R. 176(E) were adopted for sampling and analysis. Six locations within the study area were scientifically selected and are based on the following considerations:  Meteorological conditions;  Topography of the study area;  The direction of the wind;  Representation of the region for establishing baseline status; and  Representation with respect to likely impact areas. The location of the monitoring stations with reference to the proposed project site is given in Table 6 and shown in Figure 11.

Calibrated 'Respirable Dust Samplers' with Whatman GF/A microfiber filter paper (size: 8” X 10”) was used for the collection of PM (10). APM‐ 151 air sampler of Lata Envirotech instrument was attached with Repirable Dust Sampler for monitoring particulate matter of size <2.5 microns. A known volume of ambient air is passed through the cyclone to the initially preprocessed filter paper. The centrifugal force in cyclone acts on particulate matter to separate them into two parts and collected as followings: ‐ a. Particles <10 μ size (Respirable) : GF/A Filter Paper b. Particles >10 μ size (Non Respirable) : Cyclone Cup c. Particles <2.5 μ size : Teflonbfilter paper 47mm

The differences in final and initial weight of filter paper and cyclone cup are used in estimation of particulate matter. The mass of particulates collected on the GF filter,

divided by the volume of sampled air, gives the concentration of PM (10) whereas the mass of particulates collected on the teflon filter, divided by the volume of sampled air,

3 gives the concentration of PM(2.5). The results are expressed in μg/m .

Sulphur Dioxide

Sampling and analysis of ambient SO2 was performed by adopting the 'Improved West and Gaeke Method'. The ambient air, drawn through the draft created by the RDS, is passed through an impinger, containing a known volume of absorbing solution of sodium tetrachloromercurate, at a pre‐determined and measured flow rate of 1

liter/minute (L/min). SO2 in ambient air reacts with the tetrachloromercurate to form a stable complex, dichloro-sulphito mercurate. On reacting with formaldehyde and p- rosaniline hydrochloride, the sulphite ion forms an intensely coloured compound, p‐ rosaniline methyle sulphonic acid. The intensity of the colour developed is estimated by spectrophotometer at 560 nm wave length. The measured Optical Density (OD) is used

to determine the concentration of SO2 from the calibration curve already prepared

against known concentrations of sulphite ion. The mass of SO2 in the absorbing reagent,

divided by the volume of sampled air provides the concentration of SO2, which is expressed as μg/m3.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 53 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

Nitrogen Oxides Sampling and analysis of ambient NOx was performed by adopting the 'Jacob Hochheister Modified’ (Na arsenite) method. Ambient air is drawn through an impinger at a pre determined flow rate of 1 ppm. The impinger contains known volume of absorbing solution of sodium arsenite and sodium hydroxide. Oxides of nitrogen react with the absorbing reagent to form a stable solution of sodium nitrite. The nitrate ion produced during the sampling is estimated calorimetrically, after reacting with phosphoric acid, sulphanilamide and naphthyl ethylenediamine dihydrochloride (NEDA), using spectrophotometer at 540 nm wavelength. The measured Optical Density is used to determine the concentration of NOx from the calibration curve already prepared against known concentrations of nitrite ion. The mass of NOx in the absorbing reagent, divided by the volume of sampled air provides the concentration of NOx, which is expressed as μg/m3.

Carbon Monoxide (CO) Samples containing carbon monoxide in the range of 0 to 100 mg/l are analysed on a non dispersive infrared absorption gas analyser, namely, an electro‐optical spectrophotometer with no spectral dispersion component. It may consist of a single or double source of infrared energy and one or more infrared detectors separated by an optical cell or cells through one or more of which the sample flows, whereby the specific spectral absorption of the component of interest is determined.

From the above, it has been observed that maximum value of pollutants like PM‐10, PM‐2.5, and CO has been inresed by 15, 3, 460 µg/m3, respectively and value of SO2 and NO2 has been decreased by 7 and 2 µg/m3 respectively. After the incremental concentrations, values of these pollutants have been found within the permissible limits of NAAQS.

3.2 Noise 3.2.1 Objective Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It is, therefore, necessary to measure both the quality as well as the quantity of environment noise in and around the proposed developmental activities. Noise produced during construction and there after activities may affect surrounding environment affecting fauna and also the human population working and residing not only at site but also in the nearby areas.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 63 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

3.2.2 Methodology The intensity of sound energy in the environment is measured in a logarithmic scale and is expressed in a decibel (dB) scale. Ordinary sound level meter measures the sound energy that reaches the microphone by converting it into electrical energy and then measures the magnitude in dB. In a sophisticated type of sound level meter, an additional circuit (filters) is provided, which modifies the received signal in such a way that it replicates the sound signal as received by the human ear and the magnitude of sound level in this scale is denoted as dB(A). The sound levels are expressed in dB(A) scale for the purpose of comparison of noise levels, which is universally accepted by the international community.

Noise levels were measured using an Integrating sound level meter manufactured by Cygnet (Model No. 2031). It has an indicating mode of Lp and Leq. Keeping the mode in Lp for few minutes and setting the corresponding range and the weighting network in “A” weighting set the sound level meter was run for one hour time and Leq was measured at all locations.

The day noise levels have been monitored during 6.00am to 10.00pm and night noise levels, during 10.00pm to 6.00am at all the ten locations covered in 10 km radius of the study area.

3.2.3 Parameters Measurement The L10, L50, L90, Leq, Ld and Ln were computed based on the sound pressure level recorded. Leq ‐ 24 Hourly equivalent continuous noise level Ld ‐ Daytime Leq that has computed from 6.00 a.m to 10.00 pm Ln ‐ Nighttime Leq, that is computed from10.00 p.m. to 6.00 a.m

3.2.4 Sampling Locations A preliminary reconnaissance survey was undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area. The noise survey was conducted in pre‐monsoon season

Kandla is situated at the eastern end of the Gulf of Kutch and western bank of the Kandla Creek, on the west coast, north of Mumbai. Founded in 1952, and declared a major port in 1964, Kandla is a natural harbour and serves as an effective shelter, even in stormy weather. Kandla’s natural advantage is its dry weather and mild monsoon, which minimizes loss of man‐days, as well as damage to the cargo. The Port of Kandla is located on the Gulf of Kutch on the northwestern coast of India some 256 nautical miles southeast of the Port of Karachi in Pakistan and over 430 nautical miles north‐ northwest of the Port of Mumbai (Bombay). Topography at the site location is generally flat with average ground level of about 6.5 m CD. Topsoil appears marshy. The 6th major port in India, Kandla is a key one in the region, and plays a major role in the country’s international trade. Having notched up a string of successes, it has emerged as a forerunner, and has carved a niche for itself, by its steady growth and economy of operations. Maximum output, excellent infrastructure, all‐round services

However, the process of rapid development and industrialization has marked some prominent questions about survival of the flora and fauna. Fortunately, global awareness during past few years has been augmenting and worldwide programs for wild life conservation have been formulated. The worldwide-accepted concept of ‘Sustainable development’ has given vision of eco-friendly project execution. It is imperative to study the ecology of the area and essentially, how organisms are dependent on the area in terms of resource utilization, habitat etc, also how organisms contribute to sustain the ecology of the area. Secondly we need to find out how the proposed project is going to affect the biological environment. Therefore, the present study has been undertaken to assess the impact of the proposed projects on biological environment of the project site and surrounding area within 10 km radius. Accordingly, mitigation measures are evolved to sustain the biological diversity. In general biological environment is represented by flora and fauna. Flora constitutes the herbs, shrubs and trees and fauna constitutes the mammals, birds, reptiles, arthropods, amphibians, fishes etc. The Marine biodiversity impact assessment report and management plan was prepared by GUIDE and approved by NIO and same has been accepted for grant of Environmental Clearance of 7 projects of Stage-1 by Environmental Clearance Letter no-11-82/2011-IA III dated 19/12/2016.

3.6.1 Objectives The ecological study of the area has been conducted in order to understand the existing status of the flora and fauna to generate baseline information and evaluate the possible impacts on biological environment. The present study highlights the various issues pertaining to floristic diversity and faunal wealth in the surrounding area upto 10 km radius of the proposed project sites.

3.6.2 Methodology of the Study The baseline study for existing ecological environment was carried out during pre‐ monsoon season (01 Feb 2018 to 28 Feb 2018). A participatory and consultative approach was followed. Field visits were undertaken for survey of the vegetation and

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 88 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

animals in the study area. The study area has been divided in to two parts, viz., the core area consisting of project site, and the buffer area as the 10 km radius of the project site.

For the purpose of surveying the vegetation, quadrates were laid to record phyto‐ sociological features of the vegetation. Detailed notes on ecological features, including the habitat types were also taken along the selected locations. The flora and fauna in the study area were inventorised.

Besides measuring these parameters, other biodiversity aspects in the form of endemic status, conservation status and life form have been enumerated for all the plant species found in the area during ecological survey, Red Data Books of the Botanical survey of India have been screened to verify their conservation status. For wild animal species, schedule of the Wildlife Protection Act (1972) has been screened. The information was also collected from secondary sources for authentication of the data from Deputy Conservator of Forests, Bhuj and Zoological Survey of India, Jodhpur.

3.6.3 Biogeography and Physiography of the area The proposed projects are situated at Kandla in Katchchh districts on the Northern part of the Gulf of Kachchh in the State of Gujarat. As per the bio‐geographical classification of Rodgers and Panwar, 1988, the project area at Kandla comes under West Coast of India however the study area consists of parts of Indian deserts i.e. the Kutch region. This area falls under North‐west arid zone of agro‐climatic regions classified by the Gujarat Ecology Commission, 1996. Nearly 25% of the western part is arid where average rainfall is varying from 300‐400mm. Soil of the area varies from deltaic alluvium to coastal alluvium, sandy loam. The soil is saline and salinity is due to the clayey soil which prevents the percolation of water. Winter is severe and the summer is harsh, because the Tropic of Cancer passes through the nearby areas.

3.6.4 Forests & Vegetation of the area Biogeographically, Gujarat can be classified in to four major zones viz. the Indian desert, the Semi‐arid, the Western Ghats and the Coastal areas. Each zone differs from each other in terms of floral and faunal assemblages. Despite limited forest cover, the state has a remarkably rich biodiversity due to rich ecosystem diversity. The forests of the state are broadly classified in to four major type groups, viz. tropical dry deciduous,

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 89 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

tropical moist deciduous, tropical thorn and littoral and swamp forests (Champion & Sheth, 1968). The katch area mainly possesses the Northern tropical thorn forests (6B). The coastal

area along the Kandla has Mangrove forests (4B/TS2) and Mangrove scrub forests

(4B/TS1).

1. Northern tropical thorn forests Such forests can be seen commonly in the Kutch region in the arid and semi‐arid zones due to very less rainfall. The vegetation is very thin consisting of xerophytic trees and shrubs. The trees are generally 5‐10m in height. The typical trees of the scrub forests are Acacia nilotica, A. Senegal, Balanites aegyptica, Capparis sepiaria, Dichrostachys cineria, Zizyphus nummularia, etc.

2. Mangrove & Mangrove scrub forests Mangroves are the salt tolerant forest ecosystem of tropical and subtropical intertidal regions of the world. Where conditions are sheltered and suitable, the mangroves may form extensive and productive forests, which are the reservoir of a large number of species of plants and animals. The role of mangrove forests in stabilizing the shoreline of the coastal zone by preventing soil erosion and arresting encroachment on land by sea is well recognized thereby minimizing water logging and formation of saline banks. These can be seen in 8‐10 km wide zone along the coastline at some parts. This vegetation can also be divided in to salt marshy zone and low lying muddy shores and sandy saline areas. These plants can be seen in the coastline in patchy forms. It can be divided in to salt marshy zone and low lying muddy shore and sandy saline areas. Diversity of the mangroves in this area is very poor, as only genus Avecennia with two species A. marina & A. officinalis were observed.

3. Man made forests The growth of Casurina equisetifolia and Prosopis julifera has taken the shape like manmade forests along the coasts strips and at deserts boarders of Kutch.

3.6.4.1 Floral diversity of the project Area

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 90 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

The vegetation of study area of the Kandla project was surveyed according to above given methodology. The observations made in the flora of the study area reveal that the diversity and affinities of the flora of the region has approximately 71 taxa of flowering plants belonging to 28 families. It is evident from the study that, the study area is showing dry vegetation. According to the growth habit these species are distributed as: 12 tree species (17%), 10 shrub species (14%), 47 herb species (66%), and 02 mangroves species (3%) Table-26 & Figure-23. The commonly occurring species are Acacia catechu Acacia modesta, Carisa spinarum, Dalbergia sissoo, Dodonia viscosa, Pistacia chinensis, Bombax ceiba, Woodfordia fruiticasa, etc. Table-26 represents the list of flora recorded from the study area.

3.6.4.3 Aquatic Vegetation The Marine water of Gulf of Kutch and its creeks like Kandla creek, Nakti creek and Khori creek are providing the suitable habitat for marine vegetation. The Gulf abounds in marine wealth and is considered as one of the biologically rich marine habitat along the west coast of India.

The marine vegetation is highly varied, which includes sand dune vegetation, mangroves, sea grasses, macrophytes and phytoplankton. The dominant species of sand dune flora are Euphorbia caudicifolia, E.nerifolia, Aloevera sp, Ephedra foliata, Urochodra setulosa, Sporobolus maderaspatenus, Eragrostis unioloides, Calotropis procera, Fimbristylis sp, Indigofera sp. and

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 95 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla Ipomoea spp. The common sea grasses found growing on the mud flats are Halophila ovata and H.beccarii.

The most common marine algal species are Ulva fasciata, U. reticulata, Enteromorpha intenstinalis, Dictyota sp, Hypnea musciformis, Sargassum tennerimum, S. ilicifolium, Gracilaria corticata, Cystocera sp, Padina tetrastomatica, Corallina sp, Laurencia sp, Caulerpa racemosa, C. peltata, Bryopsis sp, Turbinaria sp, Ectocarpus sp, Acanthophora sp, Chondria sp, and Codium sp.

The aquatic vegetation present in the area can be categorized as Marine vegetation and Maritime vegetation.

Marine vegetation: The study area covers a large area under marine water. It has algal vegetation of green and brown algae. Caulerpa, Ulva and Halimeda are common green algae while Sargassum, Turbinaria, Gracillaruia and Geladium are the brown algae species found in the marine water.

Maritime vegetation: The vegetation adjacent to the sea is called maritime vegetation; it varies in structure and ecology. It includes seashore vegetation, mangroves and salt marshes. a. Seashore vegetation: Seashores of the study area includes shrubby and herbaceous vegetation. Most of the plants on the shore are prostrate and xeromorphic in nature, e.g. Ipomoea sp. and Launea sarmentosa etc. The vegetation is gradually stable at a distance away from the tidemark with the stabilization of the soil. b. Mangroves vegetation: The Gulf has a vast intertidal area with rich biota. Sheltered bays, creeks and mud flats provide ideal sites for mangrove vegetation over an estimated area of about 1036 km2. The formations are of open scrubby type, with isolated and discontinuous distribution from Kandla- Navlakhi in the northeast to Jodia, Jamnagar, Sikka, Salaya and Okha in the southwest, as also at Pirotan, Positra, Dohlani and Dwarka. Vast stretches of mangroves also exist along the northern shore of the Gulf. The dominant species of mangroves are Avicennia marina, A. officinalis, Bruguiera parviflora, Bruguiera gymnorphiza, Rhizophora mucronata, R. apiculata, Ageiceros corniculata and Sonneratia apetata alongwith the associated species of Salicornia brachiata, Sueda fruticosa, Artiplex stocksii and a lichen, Rosella Montana.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 96 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla As far as the study area is concerned the mangrove vegetation along the Deendayal Port is very thin and patchy.

3.6.5 Fauna Fauna of Gujarat state shows a spectacular biological diversity due to the diversity in its ecosystems. The Faunal study for the proposed Deendayal Port Trust projects were carried out in 10 km radius of the project sites.

3.6.5.1 Fauna (Terrestrial & Aquatic) The information of important terrestrial animal groups such as birds, reptiles and mammals were collected by trekking inhabiting area, along the creeks, adjoining forest, nallahs and fields present in the impact zone. The species lists of animals recorded during this study are given below:

A. Mammals Eight species of mammals were recorded in the study area of DPT (Table-28). Through direct sighting 4 species were recorded, 4 species were recorded as per indirect evidence and through secondary sources from Forest and Wildlife Department and local villagers.

D. Marine Fishes:

The proposed projects of Deendayal Port Trust are lying in the existing industrial area. Several jetties of DPT, IFFCO, Indian oil, fertilizer plant of IFFCO, etc. are lying in the close proximity to each other. Since Deendayal Port is one of the major port in India and major portion of the study area is occupied by Deendayal port and other operators, fishing activities are very limited in the study area. There are 19 fish landing centres in Kutch district but there is no fish landing centre in the study area. As per the information collected from the department of fisheries office at Gandhidham, there is no fish pond as well, in the study area. However, small fishing activities with mechanized and traditional fishing crafts are operating from the Kandla creek. The major fish found in Kutch area are listed in the below table:

Page 100 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 3.6.5.2 Marine Ecology of the creek (Phytoplanktons, Zooplanktons & Benthos) Biological parameters are very important in the aquatic eco-system since they determine the productivity of a water body. Fish production is dependent on production of zooplanktons which in turn is dependent on the phytoplankton production or primary productivity. All these are related to physico-chemical characteristics of the water. Detailed marine ecological survey was conducted in the core area to understand the existing status of marine ecology in this area. Zooplanktons and phytoplanktons, were studied and presented in the following sections.

a. Phytoplanktons:

Phytoplanktons have long been used as indicators of water quality. Some species flourish in highly eutrophic waters while others are very sensitive to organic and/or chemical wastes. Phytoplankton’s form the pastures of the sea. These organisms are autotrophic in nature. The growth and multiplication of phytoplankton primarily depends on solar illumination, temperature and also on the availability of certain essential nutrients such as nitrates, phosphates, silicates, trace elements, etc. Phytoplanktons are suspended in the euphotic zone and they drift along with the ocean currents. They vary from place to place and from season to season and this variation is responsible for the organic production. The productivity of phytoplankton’s is directly responsible for the growth of zooplanktons in the water. Usually when phytoplankton’s reach the maximum intensity of growth, zooplanktons start growing. The productivity of phytoplankton’s declines attaining maximum growth because of the depletion of nutrients and grazing by zooplanktons. Thus, in this inter-relationship or food chain of the phytoplankton’s abundance is important as this is the first step of any food chain or food web. The benthic organisms and fishes are also dependent on planktons for their food. The abundance of phytoplankton’s at various locations in the study area is given in Table- 31.

Twelve groups of phytoplankton were obtained from the sites. Of these, Coscinodiscus was the dominant group. Total density of phytoplankton varied from 5408 to 5890 nos /l at various sampling sites. The low light penetration on account of high turbidity can be attributed to the lower plankton productivity. The predominant phytoplanktons observed in marine water samples in and around the project area include Cosindiscus sp. and Biddulphia. When phytoplanktons reach the maximum intensity of growth, zooplanktons starts growing. The productivity of phytoplanktons declines attaining maximum growth because of the depletion of nutrients and grazing by zooplanktons. This interrelationship or food chain of the phytoplankton abundance is important as they are the first step of any food chain or food web. The benthic organisms and fishes are also dependent on plankton for their food.

c. Benthos:

Benthos is a collective term referred to the organisms lying in or associated with aquatic sediment comprising bacteria, plants and animals from almost all phyla. Benthic animals are generally described on the basis of their position in the sediment. In fauna are the animals living within the interstitial space or burros. Those occupying the sediment surface are epifauna. Benthos (1‐100μm) comprising bacteria, protophyta and protozoans other than forminifera, Meio fauna (100‐1000 μm) including foraminifera, small metazoans, nematodes and Macro or Mega fauna (above 1000 μm) comprising of several macro invertebrates. Benthic fauna have been found to play a significant role in the trophic network, as they utilise all forms of food material available in the sea‐bed or estuarine base and form an important link in the transfer of energy. Another important aspect of the benthic studies is the effect of the pollution on the standing crop and productivity. Abiotic relationship of benthos especially with the sediment logical features has explained most of the fluctuations in benthic abundance. Benthos are the organisms that live on the floor of the sea. Benthic fauna usually tend to concentrate in the upper oxygenated layer of sediment except the true anaerobics.

Sediment samples were collected from six stations using Peterson's dredge having a biting area of 16 x 17 cm. The sediment obtained was sieved through required meshes to separate macrofauna (> 500 μ) and meiofauna (which pass through 0.5 mm sieve and are retained by a 1000 μ sieve). Each group of organisms were individually identified and a quantitative and qualitative analysis has been done. Diversity and abundance of meio and macrofauna did not show the presence of any rare or endangered species in any of the sampling sites. The details of meio‐benthos and macro‐benthos observed at various sampling locations are given in Tables- 37 and 39 respectively. The density of meio‐ fauna ranged from 382 to 670 nos/10 cm2 the dominant meio‐faunal group was nematode. The density of benthic macro‐fauna ranged from 952 to 1092 no/m2.The dominant macro‐faunal group was porifera.

3.6.6 Trend analysis of fishing activity at Kandla creek & Tuna creek

The survey of fishery resources along the Gujarat coast by the Fisheries Survey of India (FSI), GOI during 1979 to 1992 indicates that for a coastline of 1600 km covering a shelf area of 1,64,183 sq. km, the maximum sustainable yield is 7.73 lakhs MT and the value of marine fish landing in 1997‐98 was 7.02 lakhs M.T. The northern areas of Kachchh were found to be the most productive areas and had a dominance of Silver Grunt and Cat Fish species. The fisheries statistics in the Kachchh coast (of 406 km length) reveals a fish production of about 71,787 tonnes in the year 1997‐98, which is 10.22 % of the total fish production in Gujarat. Of this 70% of the landings i.e., 50193 occurred at Khori Creek and the coastal centres along the Arabian Sea (Okha). Most of the fishing landings occur at Veraval, Jakhau, Jafarbad, Shiyalbet and Okha. In Kachchh, the largest fish

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 108 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

landings occur at Jakhau (66.2%), while Kandla and Mitha Port account only for 3% of the Kachchh landings. Fisheries are not prevalent in Tuna probably due to fish stock being low, relative to the other areas in the Gulf of Kachchh like Jakhau. It has been found that high tidal movements and unusually strong currents make trawling or gill netting for fish difficult and risky in the area. While a fishing harbour exists north of the Deendayal port, Kandla together with Mitha port accounts for 3% of the landings of Kachchh. Most of the fishing occurs in the outer regions of GoK and off Saurashtra coast.

3.6.7 Mangroves

Mangroves occupy less than 1% of the world’s surface and are mainly found between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn on all continents covering an estimated 75 percent of the tropical coastline worldwide (Source: Gujarat Ecology Commission). Mangroves are one of the most valuable coastal habitats providing enormous benefits (both tangible and non-tangible) to the local communities as well as the ecology and environment surrounding them. Tangible benefits of mangroves comprise timber and non-timber products and other livelihood support systems provided. Mangroves possess several characteristics that make them structurally and functionally unique. Mangrove forests have traditionally been utilized by the local people for a variety of purposes.

3.6.7.1 Status of Mangroves in Gujarat Historically, Gujarat had an extensive and diverse mangrove ecosystem which had been degraded or depleted over time due to various developmental activities as well as natural disasters and anthropogenic interactions. In fact, until about 1960s, mangroves were considered as ‘economically unproductive areas’ and hence, they had faced destruction caused by expansion of economic as well industrial development activities. However, after many years of wide spread destruction and degradation, significant efforts are being made in recent years by the State Government and the International agencies to restore and regenerate the mangrove stock in Gujarat. According to FSI report there was a constant increase in the mangrove cover in Gujarat state since 1987‐1999 but in 2001 it decreased from 1031 sq km to 911 sq

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 109 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

km. But ever since 2001 the state saw an increase of 135 sq km. The report also states that Gujarat showed an increase in mangrove cover mainly because of the plantation and protection measures taken by the state in recent years (Source: Gujarat Ecology Commission).

3.6.7.2 Status of Mangroves in the Study Area To know the status of mangroves in the study area (10km radius of proposed projects) an approach based on time series satellite data and ground inventory was adopted. For the purpose of change in mangroves the following imaginaries and software’s have been used: 1. Satellite Data Used: LANDSAT 1999, LANDSAT 2005, LISS III 2011

2. Software Used: ERADAS, Arc GIS 9.3 for supervised classification and on screen digitization.

Analysis result of time series satellite data shows considerable change in the total area of mangroves, in duration of 2005 to 2011 total area of mangroves increased from 6442 ha to 7431 ha i.e. total 15.35%, while in the duration of 1999 to 2005 only 1.91% increment has been observed. Time series satellite imageries are given in Figure 27 to 28. Analysis results of time series satellite data are given in Table 40. It has been noted by expert committee of CRZ, Gujarat during their site visit that many areas of mangroves are badly affected due to various human activities in Kandla Port area. However, DPT has taken measures for plantation of mangroves at Satsaida belt (opposite to Kandla Port) through Gujarat Ecology Commission and Forest Department.

3.7 Marine Environment The marine ecosystem is the largest aquatic system on the planet. Its size and complexity make it difficult to deal with as a whole. The pressure on the oceans is not only due to over‐harvesting but also to the cumulative impact of land‐based activities. This includes many of the effects of coastal development, especially the destruction of wetlands, mangroves and coral reefs, sedimentation and the dredging of sediments, damage to watersheds and the impounding of water supplies to support urban development in coastal areas. The world’s oceans are not only the domain of food for human being but also the legitimate concern of marine transport, offshore extraction of oil, gas and other minerals, climate control and recreation. Marine fisheries account for 85% of the global fish catch. Maritime shipping is involved in the transport of over 80% of the world’s merchandise trade. The oceans have also become the ultimate sink for discharges of waste of all sorts carried by rivers and winds from land‐based sources, including coastal mega cities. Other threats come from the transport of hazardous wastes, operational and accidental spillage of oil, discharge of radioactive materials at sea, nuclear testing and the transport of alien species in the ballast water of ships. Two traditional areas exist, one between the marine environment and the terrestrial, and the other between marine and fresh water. The intertidal zone or littoral zone is that shore areas lying between the extremes of high and low tide; it represents the transitional area from marine to terrestrial conditions. It is a zone of abundant life. Estuaries represent the transitional zone between land and water, it combines the characteristics of both these environs besides having some unique characteristics of its own. This area supports abundant benthic fauna and flora communities. Transitional waters tend to be richer in plant nutrients and more productive than water of corresponding depths in the open sea. One reason for this is the greater mixing that occurs here as a result of turbulence, wave action, upwelling caused by offshore currents, winds etc., bringing plant nutrients into all strata of the water. Also additional nutrients are led from the substrate and washed in to the sea by rivers and streams from the adjacent land. Where the substrate is suitable for attachment, the shallow waters also support a rich growth of flora and fauna. Mangroves are tropical and sub tropical swampy forests bordering the sheltered seacoasts and estuaries.

3.7.1 Costal Hydrology/Geomorphology Coastal Zones are dynamic interferences between land and water and are common location of high‐density development. Coasts are subject to frequent natural hazards; including flooding, storm impacts, coastal erosion, and tsunami inundation. Coastal erosion is a constant problem along most open ocean shores of India. As coastal populations continue to grow and infrastructures are threatened by erosion, there is an increasing demand for accurate information regarding past and present shoreline changes. There is also a need for a consistent and comprehensive analysis of shoreline movement. It is generally agreed that the coast especially the beaches are facing severe erosion and the shorelines are changing. These are primarily due to manmade activities such as construction of ports, harbors, shore protection measures etc. The Central/State Governments and private entrepreneurs also propose to construct several ports and harbors all along the shores in coming years. These could have irreversible adverse impact on the coast if such infrastructures are constructed without scientific studies. To meet these National needs, the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India have initiated an analysis of historical shoreline changes along the east and west coasts of the country. The main purpose of that study was to develop standard repeatable methods for mapping and analyzing shoreline movement so that periodic updates regarding coastal erosion and land loss that were systematic and internally consistent could be made on a national scale. For that study, the “instantaneous high water line” has considered as the shoreline as it was derived from satellite imagery.

Objective The main objective of this shoreline study is to present the erosion and accretion status of the shoreline of the study area and to provide the technical basis and analytical information useful for adopting a systematic approach to infrastructure development and coastal conservation.

How and Why Shorelines Change The source of the sand that created and continues to feed the beaches, dunes, and barrier beaches in India, comes primarily from the erosion of coastal landforms. All sedimentary coasts tend to erode at one time or another and this basic tenet of coastal

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 115 Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

science reflects the complex interactions that occur at the land‐ocean interface. Wherever shorelines are composed of discrete grains of sediment, the processes of winds, waves, currents and changing water levels combine to mobilize particles and move them around by varying degrees. Erosion, transport, and the accretion that results are continuous and interrelated processes. Shorelines also change seasonally, tending to accrete slowly during the summer months when sediments are deposited by relatively low energy waves and erode dramatically during the winter when sediments are moved offshore by high energy storm waves. In addition, attempting to halt natural coastal process with seawalls and other hard structures only shifts the problem, subjecting down drift coastal areas to similar losses. Also, without the sediment transport, some of the beaches, dunes, barrier beaches, salt marshes, and estuaries—are threatened and would disappear as the sand sources that feed and sustain them are eliminated.

Coastal Regions India’s coastline is 8158 km long; of this, the peninsular India is 6064 km, and the islands of Andman and Nicobar and Lakshdweep account for 2094 km. Figure 30 shows the extent of the coastal districts along the east and west coasts of India.

Status of Erosion/Accretion As per the study of National Centre for Sustainable Coastal Management, MoEF and Society of Integrated Coastal Management, the coastline of Gujarat state is about 1600 km long and consists of 11 districts as given in Figure 30. Out of 1600 km; the length of high erosion coastline is 84.5 km, the length of medium erosion coastline is 170.2 km and the length of low erosion coastline is 478.1 km. Details of erosion characteristics of Gujarat Coastline is given in Table 41 and district wise erosion categories are given in Table 42. Erosion/Accretion status of the coastline of present study area consist shorelines of Kandla and Tuna Port given in Figure 31 to Figure 33. After going through shoreline change maps of the study area it has been found that, present study area comes under low erosion, medium erosion & stable coast area. As per the study conducted by NCSCM, MoEF; in Kutch district; total 62.3 km length of coastline comes under high erosion area, total 115.6 km length of coastline comes under medium erosion area and total 132.7 km length of coastline comes under low erosion area. As per the study our present study area Kandla comes under medium erosion area. Areas falls under high & medium erosion categories are given in Table 43 & 44 respectively.

3.7.2 Bed Sediment/Dredging Sludge Quality

Dredging is an excavation activity or operation usually carried out at least partly underwater, in shallow seas or fresh water areas with the purpose of gathering up bottom sediments and disposing of them at a different location. Dumping Site is earmarked at location south of OTB (Latitude ‐ 22º 50’ 00’’ & Longitude ‐ 70º 07’ 00’’). This technique is often used to keep waterways navigable. Deendayal Port Trust has decided to carry out dredging at three locations. The bed sediment samples were collected from these sites and analyzed in the lab for its metal constituents. Dredging quantity to be conducted by Deendayal Port Trust (capital as well as maintenance) that will be required to maintain the port initially and throughout the year is given below: 1) Capital dredging = 1356000 m3 2) Maintenance dredging = 271200 m3/year The sediments samples were collected from three sites where there is proposal of dredging. The sites are: 1. Tuna port 2. Khori Creek 3. Old Kandla The tests were conducted for six metals belong to schedule II of Class A metals Viz. Antimony, Arsenic, Cadmium, Chromium (VI), Total Chromium, and Mercury. The results of the tests for the metals are shown in the table below:

The geographical area is often called Study Area or Impact Area. It is carried out simultaneously with Environment Impact Assessment (EIA). The prime objective of SEIA is to identify and evaluate potential socio‐economic and cultural impacts of a proposed development project on the lives & conditions of people, their families and communities. If the potential impacts are significant and adverse, SEIA assist the developers and other stakeholders to reduce, remove or prevent these impacts from happening. It is a multidisciplinary, using theories and methods from Sociology, Statistics, Economics, History, Psychology, Geography and Anthropology. It is pre‐ requisite before the project is put into implementation. The study area consists of the core area where the proposed project is expected to come up and a buffer area encircling the project area with a radius of prescribed kilometers from the periphery of the core area. For every new project Socio‐Economic Impact Assessment is mandatory. It is also mandatory for existing projects in case of expansion, modernization and change in product mix. The Socio‐Economic Impact Assessment focuses the effect of the project on social and economic well‐being of the community.

In the SEIA, it is examined how a development project changes the lives of local residents. The outcome of the study relies on both quantitative and qualitative measure of impacts. The impacts are evaluated in terms of changes in community demographics, housing, employment, market effects, public services, retail business, quality of life and artistic qualities of the community. Further, assessing proposed developments in socio‐economic context help the community leaders and local people identify potential social equity issues, evaluate the adequacy of social services and determine whether the project has adverse effects on overall social well‐being or not.

SEIA also provides a forum for planning how to maximize the beneficial impacts of a proposed development. Beneficial impacts can include:

a) A better standard of living due to increased access to employment, business opportunities, training and education b) Greater access to and from a community and

Concept & Definition of terms used in the SEIA Report

Study Area: The study area, also known as Impact Area has been defined as the sum total of core and buffer area with a specified kilometer of radius from the periphery of the project site. The study area includes all the land marks both natural and manmade, falling therein.

Quality of Life: The Quality of Life refers to degree to which a person ‘enjoys’ the important ‘possibilities’ of his/her life.

Baseline Data: Baseline data refers to basic information collected before a project/scheme is implemented. It is used later to provide a comparison for assessing impact of the project. Any attempt to collect baseline data while undertaking actual impact assessment study is faced with recall error.

Household: A group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen are called a household.

Sex Ratio: Sex ratio is the ratio of females to males in a given population. It is expressed as 'number of females per 1000 males'.

Literates: All persons aged seven years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language are taken as literate. People who are blind but can read in Braille are also treated as literates.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 127

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla Literacy Rate: Literacy rate of population is defined as the percentage of literates to the total population aged seven years and above.

Labour Force: The labour force is the number of people employed and unemployed in a geographical entity. The size of the labour force is the sum total of persons employed and unemployed. People not counted under labour force are students, retired persons, stay at home people, people in prisons, permanently disabled persons and discouraged workers.

Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. The work may be part time or full time or unpaid work in a farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity.

Worker: All persons engaged in 'work' are defined as workers.

Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. six months or more in the case of a year) are termed as Main Workers.

Marginal Workers: Those workers who did not work for the major part of the reference period (i.e. less than six months) are termed as Marginal Workers.

Work Participation Rate: The work participation rate is the ratio between the labour force and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range). In the present study the work participation rate is defined as the percentage of total workers (main and marginal) to total population.

Area under Non-agricultural Uses: This includes all land occupied by buildings, roads and railways or under water, e.g. rivers, canals and other land put to uses other than agriculture.

Barren/Un-culturable Land: This includes all land covered by mountains, deserts, etc. Land, which cannot be brought under cultivation except at an exorbitant cost is classified as un‐culturable whether such land is in isolated blocks or within cultivated holdings.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 128

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla Permanent Pasture and other Grazing Land: This includes all grazing land whether it is permanent pasture/meadows or not. Village common grazing land is included under this category.

Land under Miscellaneous Tree Crops: This includes all cultivable land which is not included in ‘Net Area Sown’ but is put to some agricultural use. Land under casuring trees, thatching grasses, bamboo bushes and other groves for fuel etc. which are not include under Orchards are classified under this category.

Culturable Waste Land: This includes land available for cultivation, whether taken up or not taken up for cultivation once, but not cultivated during the last five years or more in succession including the current year for some reason or the other.

Fallow Lands (Other than Current Fallows): This includes all land which was taken up for cultivation but is temporarily out of cultivation for a period of not less than one year and not more than five years.

Current Fallows: This represents cropped area which is kept fallow during the current year.

Net Area Sown: This represents the total area sown with crops and orchards. Area ‘sown’ more than once in the same year is counted only once.

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 3.8.4 Impact Identification The habitation and households are not very near to the proposed port site as the area already falls under the property of port. The villages fall in the 7‐10 km. range from the proposed site and hence there will not be much impact to the people. In the construction/operation phases of the project will surely generate employment opportunities, both direct and indirect, for the local people. A number of skilled and unskilled workers can be employed which generate direct or indirect employment and improves the standard of living of the project affected people. Additional facilities such as medical, educational, and infrastructural development will also take place.

3.8.5 Fisheries Proposed barge jetty will be constructed near to the existing port of Kandla Port. Since Kandla Port is one of the major port in India and major portion of the study area is occupied by the Kandla port, and other industrial activities, fishing activities are very limited in the study area. There are no fish landing centre in the study area. As per the information collected from the department of fisheries office at Gandhidham, there is no fish pond as well, in the study area. However, small fishing activity with mechanized and traditional fishing crafts are operating from the Kandla creek.

Chapter 4. Anticipated Environmental Impact & Mitigation Measures

4.1 Introduction The current chapters describe probable impact identification on each component of the environment and the compilation of the existing baseline data of those components. The quantification of likely impacts and their evaluation /assessment are discussed in succeeding paragraphs. Prediction of impacts is the most important component of an EIA study. Many scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts on physico‐ecological and socio‐economic environment. The prediction of the impacts helps to identify the gaps and implement Environmental Management Plan during and after the execution of the developmental activity to minimize the deterioration of environmental quality. In the present study, the most probable impact on various components of the surrounding environment viz. air, noise, water, land, biological and socio‐ economic, due to the proposed development has been predicted.

4.2 Air Environment 4.2.1 Emissions Sources during the Construction phase

The proposed project will have no major considerable stress/ pressure on the environment to give rise to any significant adverse impacts on environment. The only major impacts on air during construction phase are predicted to be caused due to airborne dust arising from the construction activities as well as gaseous pollutants from vehicles used for transportation of construction materials & emission from equipment used during construction phase. The dust particles in the form of particular matters will strongly depend on various activities like movement of vehicles, their speed, excavation of earth, back filling etc during the construction phase.

The probable sources of the dust are the activities of excavation, filling, leveling etc. However it is noticed that, the area of the proposed project is situated close to the creek of Gulf of Kutch; hence the moisture in the soil will not allow the particles to travel to longer distance from the sources.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 145

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla Beside the texture of soil is mostly sandy, hence the size and density of particles also prevent them from longer travelling. However maximum care will be taken to prevent the particles to be airborne by using water sprinkler system & covering the excavated materials. Hence there will be no significant impacts due to the dust particles. Besides, the dust may also arise from activities for transportation, storage & handling of construction materials, mainly cement. The airborne cement particles can have significant impacts on environment and the nearby marine habitat. For control of the airborne particles of cement enclosed storage facility shall be provided & material shall be covered with tarpaulin during the transportation. Only vehicles having PUC shall be allowed & well equipped handling & transportation facilities shall be provided through out the construction phase.

Further, the air pollutants like PM10, PM2.5, SOx, NOx and CO will be emitted from the DG sets, exhaust of transport vehicles and other machineries. For control of emission from DG set stack of adequate height & internal diameter at top shall be provided to minimize the impacts of emission. The residual impacts of emission from the stack would not be significant to cause any considerable impacts on air.

The impacts on the environment generated during construction phase will be limited to the construction tenure and will be local. Hence looking to the overall facts described above, it can be concluded that the impacts on air due to the construction & erection activities will be minimum or negligible. It is also concluded that by implementing the proper mitigation measures, the adverse impacts will be almost eliminated or minimized to the lowest extent of damage.

4.2.2 Emissions Sources during the Operational phase

The major activity at the port during operational phase is (1) Collection of goods which are to be exported. (2) Loading and unloading of goods that is to be imported or exported. (3) Storing and distribution of imported goods. These goods are specially coal, Fertilizers, food grain, steel, containers etc. As such there is no chemical process or any manufacturing activity involved; hence there will not be any process emission. No gases will be emitted even during

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 146

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla the operation phase, as the major activity during this phase will be only export and import of cargo. Increase in the vehicular movements & emission from D.G.Set may affect air quality in terms of CO & NOx in an around the premises.

Proper care shall be taken during the Loading and unloading activity of coal by marinating adequate moisture by the way of water sprinkling, enclosure where applicable/suitable, shade for storage, enclosure for transport vehicles/ship/barges/storage vessel, spraying of water on road & ground can effectively implemented to control the coal dust problem. During the operation phase proper EMP shall be in place for handling of coal.

The impact of the air pollution due these will be very negligible as the proposed project is in the coastal area. Due to the considerable wind speed the gaseous pollutant from these sources will get dispersed as soon as they are emitted and hence there will be no considerable impacts on air due the

operation of the project. The short term increase in SO2 will be insignificant enough to have any adverse effect. Moreover it is proposed to develop greenbelt in and along the premises, which will mitigate any adverse impacts on ambient air.

It is therefore concluded that there will no significant impacts on the air environment due to the proposed project. 4.3 Anticipated Impacts Impacts during Construction Phase of the Project

4.4 Noise Environment Sources of noise during construction and operational phases and their predicted impacts are discussed below:

4.4.1 Noise Generation during Construction Phase

The major Impact on noise level of the proposed project, during the construction phase, is envisaged due to the noise generation by the operation of the machineries, equipments and some mechanical works. There are many equipments and machineries likely to be used during the construction. These are mainly recognized to be Dozers, Cranes, Excavators, Trailers, Generators, and Concrete Conveyor etc. It is envisaged that noise level due to this equipments will be around 70 dB(A) at receptor point at associated work/construction area. The impacts due to noise of these equipments will be local and temporary as well as negligible due to the efficient implementation of proper mitigation measures like provision of Ear Protective Safety Equipment (ear plug & ear muff) for the personnel likely to be exposed to high noise level. The noise level of these machineries / equipments shall be minimized by proper lubrication, modernization, maintenance, muffling and provision of silencers wherever possible.

The affected area will be the project site under construction activities for development of the proposed projects and nearby area of the region. The area of the projects is in port area and does not have any residential area in the range of noise propagation to cause adverse influence on environment. Further, construction activity would be carried out at daytime to prevent increase in noise level during night time.

There is no considerable habitat of fauna in vicinity of the project site. The major effects of the noise due to the predicted sources will be limited to the workers exposed to the high noise area. Thus, there would not be any considerable impacts on ecological factors as well as social layout. However, considering the adverse impacts on personnel engaged in construction works, efficient mitigation measures shall be planned & implemented. The most

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 157

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla efficient mitigation shall include provision of PPEs (ear protective safety equipments) as well as planning of work hours & shift of workers as per Factory Act or NIOSH / OSHA guidelines. The workers working at the site shall be equipped with earmuffs /earplug to avoid adverse effects of noise on occupation health & hearing capacity of workers.

4.4.2 Prediction of Noise Quality Impacts Impacts on noise quality during jetty construction are possible due to the following activities:

1. Transportation of construction materials 2. Construction activities including fabrication, welding, precasting 3. Piling operations during construction and capital dredging

Of the above activities, piling and dredging (using cutter suction dredger) operations are the most important and are found to generate noise levels as high as 85 dB (A) and 90 dB (A) at the 10 m from the sources respectively. The pulsating noise levels at receptor locations are determined using mathematical equations. The Mathematical equation is used for noise prediction is

L2 = (L1 - 20 log D2/D1-Ae-An)

Where, L1 and L2 are the noise levels at a distance of D1 and D2 from the noise source;

Ae and An are attenuation due to environment correction and background correction.

Estimated noise levels for the piling and dredging operations at different distances from the source are given in Table 58. The day and night noise levels near the pile‐driving site reduce to within prescribed limits as per “Noise Rules 2000” at distance of 50m and 100m from the source respectively. While, the day and night noise levels near the dredging sites reduce to within prescribed limits as per “Noise Rules 2000” at distance of 100m and 200m from the source respectively. For workers within 100m, sound protection gears are recommended.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 158

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla The residential colonies are located away from the piling and dredging sites and hence shall not be subject any noise quality problems as a result of these operations.

Table 65: Estimated Noise Levels For the Piling and Dredging Operations

Distance from Predicted Noise Level Noise standards noise source dB (A) location (m) Piling operations Dredging Day Night 10 85.00 90.00 30 75.46 80.46 50 71.02 76.02 75 70 100 65.00 70.00 200 59.00 64.00 500 51.00 56.00

4.4.3 Noise Generation during Operational Phase During the operation phase the major source expected to increase the noise level at the jetty area are arrival of cargo and vehicular movement to transport export and import goods, conveyor system & operation of DG set for emergency power supply. However this increase in noise level will be lower compared to the construction phase. The increase in noise level would be in the vicinity of plant area and attempts shall be made to reduce the noise level below 75 dB(A) outside the project premises. Proper lubrication, muffling and modernization of equipment shall be done to reduce the noise, D.G.Set with acoustic enclosure shall be provided. Due to increase in various activities there may be some increase in background noise levels. The workers working in the high noise area shall be provided with ear protected equipments. The propagation of noise way would be prevented by creating barrier in form of the proposed greenbelt all around the project area boundary.

The propagation of noise way would be prevented by creating barrier in form of the proposed greenbelt all around the project area boundary.

4.5 Water Environment 4.5.1 Impact in Construction Phase

The Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board (GWSSB) is responsible for developing and managing various sources of water in the region. The important source of water is the 14.5 Million m3 capacity reservoir of Tapar Dam, besides a number of deep tube wells. Water is distributed to Kandla area from high service reservoir near Bhachau through 18” dia. CI mains, after chlorination. The capacities of the elevated water towers and underground reservoirs at Kandla are 1500 kl. and 14000 kl., respectively. The average daily consumption of water at Kandla area is estimated at around 2000 kl. The labour force employed during this phase will be provided potable water to avoid any waterborne diseases. The domestic wastewater / sewage generated from the labour colony will be treated in septic tanks and soak pits and it will be used for developing green plantation, which will be an eco friendly solution.

The major impacts on marine water quality are envisaged due to the civil works activities like driving of piles, construction of berth, approach way, movement of construction equipments etc. will have a high potential to disperse the fine grained sediments in the water, thus increasing the particular load which in turn can adversely influence the photosynthetic activity further affecting the marine life. However this rise in turbidity will be only during the construction phase. Considering the proposals and developers commitment adverse impact on water resources is not envisaged.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 160

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla The runoff from the site containing construction materials, debris, and construction waste and excavated earthen materials may have adverse impacts on the water environment especially on nearby marine water resources. Further the dispersion of fine sediment of runoff in the water during the construction activities can increase the particulate load in the neighboring aquatic habitat, which in turn can increase turbidity in and consequently affects the rate of the photosynthetic activity of the aquatic life. Proper mitigation measures shall be implemented to avoid such runoff as well as spillage of construction materials so that the materials in runoff cannot enter in to the water bodies. However it is to notice that this rise in turbidity will be only during the construction phase and the incidence of turbidity will be minimal due to prevention of any runoff from site. Thus the impacts will be short term and minor. By implementing proper mitigation measures, adverse impact on water resources due to the turbidity will be minimized. Water conservation actions shall be taken during the construction phase by associated workforce & officials. Potential impact on groundwater resources is not envisaged as there will not be any toxic material release in sub soil region having potential of ground water contamination.

4.5.2 Impact in Operational Phase

For operation purpose major portion of water will be reused for various purposes like sprinkling on coal & washing. Thus on regular basis the actual requirement of water supplied by GWSSB will be reduced to a great extent. However, the wastewater from the two major activities, washing and sprinkling on coal, will be collected in a collection sump. This effluent shall be transferred to STP at regular intervals. The effluent will mainly be containing very little quantity of suspended particles as major constituent. These pollutants can easily be treated to achieve the desired water quality. For the treatment of domestic wastewater adequate size STP already exists.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 161

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 4.6 Land Environment 4.6.1 Impacts during Construction Phase Land use patterns of the surrounding area would not changed as it already used for port activity with some open land/back‐up area. The proposed project is in the water front of marine water course of Gulf of Kutch. The project requires 111.5 hectares of land for the development of the proposed projects. The company has conducted a preliminary survey of the land required for the development of proposed activities. The outcome of the survey reveals that the area is adequate for the proposed port. The land is generally barren and saline soil having low nutrients. At present the site is almost devoid of vegetation, so major clearance of vegetation in site for development of proposed projects is not required. Hence, there would not be any adverse impacts on land cover is envisaged. However some degraded mangroves colonies are noticed in the area, which is very less in quantity. Surrounding Region has no agriculture areas, but salt work areas are the major observed activity in the area. Salt tolerant plants dominate general vegetation of this region. An extensive low‐lying coastal area, which gets inundated during high tide are mostly barren. Hence overall the project site is considered as wasteland.

The construction activities like excavation for foundation, earth‐filling, clearing, stripping, levelling the sites and vehicular movements will entail changes in the landscape, which are expected to be of short duration and not much significant. The excavated earth material if stacked loosely may result into runoff to the mud flats resulting in loss of topsoil. Excavated earth will be stored in stockpiles and covered with plastic/tarpaulin sheets & will be maintained separately and reused for landscape development along the corridor. A temporary labour colony will be developed. Solid wastes generated from the colony will be taken care by the waste disposal plan. The construction waste may pose impacts on land environment by contamination of soil and hence the wastes shall be utilized for PCC works, Road construction, and other filling requirement etc the accidental spillage of fuels and lubricants oils will be minimized by proper care. Since this phase is temporary impact is marginally negative and short.

Thus looking to the over all scenario the proposed project would have considerable beneficial impacts due to affirmative utilization of waste land as

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 162

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla well as significant green belt development of non‐vegetative land area of the premises.

4.6.2 Impacts during Operational Phase

Under ordinary and safe operating conditions, no adverse impact is anticipated on land during the operation phase. The only source of land pollution would be the solid waste generated from the area and workers hutments. The garbage shall be disposed to the Municipal solid waste disposal site. Spillage of fuel oil and lubricants will be collected in the trench and will be stored along with the waste oils. The same will thereafter be given to the MoEF authorized recyclers. Thus the land pollution during the operation phase is minimal and not likely to create any significant impact with proper EMP in place.

4.7 Biological Environment (Marine Ecology of Creeks)

Developmental activities e.g. Industrialization have negative impact on ecology of surrounding area. Primarily biodiversity may get affected by the project activities hence it is essential to identify the possible impacts of any proposed project on biodiversity and find out the way to mitigate impact in sustainable manner. Impact on Ecology As per primary ecological study there no any Rare, Endangered, Threatened floral and faunal species were found in the study area. No economically important plants, medicinal plants are found inside the study area.

The native flora and fauna of study area may affected by construction and operation of port. However impact on flora and fauna and marine biodiversity may be temporary. Project may cause bit habitat degradation. Following table describes briefly how the port construction may affect the plants species. Development Process Sources of Impact Cleaning and preparation of site Vegetation and upper most fertile soil will be removed Transportation of construction Fugitive dust particles and vehicular pollution may material to the site affect the leaf of the plants and lower down the photosynthetic capacity of the plants. Movement of vehicles heavy Soil compaction may take place

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 163

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla machineries Construction activity and Activities may cause noise and vibration. Due to vehicular movement which species may migrate some other places Un-managed soil stock piling Soil may runoff during rains and may accumulate in the nearby areas Temporary labour shelters, office Solid waste shall be generated and if not managed then it will affect the ecology of the local area

The project will create significant ecological and environmental impacts on the following components:  Aesthetic value loss (Due to construction activities the area would depreciate aesthetic value of the area, only an effective and systematic greenbelt development can help improving the aesthetic value of study area)  Soil compaction (Vehicular movement and movement of machinery equipment may exert the negative impacts on soil fertility cause soil compaction, microbial biomass etc.)  Discharge of wastewater (water will be stored into nearby abandoned voids)  Ambient Air Quality (air pollution due to land excavation and vehicular movements).  Ambient noise quality (HEMM and vehicular movement).

Proposed Mitigating Measures To mitigate the possible impacts of proposed project on ecology of the surrounding area following mitigation measures would be taken in to consideration I. Site preparation would be carried out using cutting edge technology to reduce the impact of vibration and noise on Ecology and biodiversity. There must have some monitoring mechanisms to look after the day to day environment of the project and to ensure that the mitigation measures are implemented effectively in function. II. Fugitive particles remain always an issue. To mitigate the impact of such emissions water sprinkler will be used on approach road. III. Greenbelt will be developed in three tier system with the help of economically beneficial shrubs/ trees. Greenbelt shall be developed along approach road, office

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 164

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla settlements and designated areas. Green belt will also be very useful for noise attenuation. IV. Institutional mechanism like separate cell will be established to supervise and monitor various mitigation measures.

The impact of the proposed projects on the biological environment of the shore and the creek can be as follows: 1. Impact during construction phase 2. Impact during the operation phase Impact during Construction Phase During the construction of any project the following activities may have directly or indirectly impact on the flora & Fauna. a. Transportation of heavy vehicles:  During the construction of project the transportation of heavy vehicle will generate fugitive dust, noise while movement. The dust then will be settled over leaves of plants of nearby areas and hence reducing the photosynthetic capacity of the plants.  Noise created due to increased traffic will have impact on the near by fauna, it may have impact on the wild nocturnal animals.  Because the project is situated in the industrial area so it will have very minimum impact on the wild animals. However, the minor impacts of vehicular noise is envisaged which will be mitigated by avoiding night transport activities. Even some high noise generating construction activities will also be conducted in day time only. Impact shall rest upto construction time only b. Impact due to Clearance on land flora:  Due to construction activity the land flora along the sea can be removed.  At the sites of Tuna and Kandla where jetty is proposed is presently occupied by some herbs and shrubs. This vegetation will be cleared off during the construction period.  The clearance of weeds and common shrubs will not have much impact as it is in industrial area. c. Impact due to Piling activity:

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 165

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla  During the construction of jetty, piling will be done in the sea to make the berths. During the piling the sea water quality will be impacted and hence giving impact on the primary productivity of the sea.  Movement of aquatic fauna can affect.  The impact will be temporary during the construction period only and it is in the area where already ship movement is going on. d. Impact due to dredging:  Movement of aquatic fauna may get affected due to the dredging during construction phase. Turbidity of the water may increased and may reduce the number of and the production of the phytoplanktons. This shall directly affect the zooplanktons and then entire food chain.  At the dredging sites, the initial disturbance to benthic organism may result in smothering / death during dredging operations. Normally communities are expected to regenerate in a period of three months. During this period the food web of the marine ecosystem will be disturbed. The fishes and other marine fauna which feed on phytoplankton/ zooplanktons will migrate from this site due to unavailability of the food and disturbance in its habitat.  This will have a long term impact as the capital dredging shall be regularly followed by maintenance dredging.

Impact during Operation Phase Impact due to operation of any project is of main concern as it always persists. And if any major impact is envisaged it is going to permanently affect the environment. In this proposed projects jetty construction is the main activity which will have major consequences like increased ship movement, increased chances of spilling of oil, wastes etc. a. Discharge of Oil & wastes from the ships in to the sea:  Due to increased traffic movement may increase the chances of increased spillage of oil and other wastes in the sea. The oil and petroleum products are very injurious to the flora and fauna of the marine ecosystem. The oil spreads on the water surface and makes a film over it reducing the dissolved oxygen level in the water.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 166

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla  It may have adverse impact on the marine ecosystem including the fishes. Hence, the solid wastes, sewage, oily ballast, bilge water and bunker fuel bottoms generated from ships should not be discharged directly and it should be discharged as per the norms.

b. Impact on Mangroves, Seaweeds and algae:  Mangroves, seaweeds and algae show greater sensitivity to fresh rather than weathered crude oil. Oil may however, block the openings of pneumatophores and hamper the breathing mechanism of mangroves or interfere with salt balance, killing the trees.  Moreover, mangrove areas at Kandla and Nakti Creek are invariably associated with rich fauna which will suffer severe damage in case of major oil spill occurs due to accident / eventualities.  Green algae are more sensitive to petroleum than diatoms, blue green algae and flagellates. An oil spill can however cause immediate and localized retardation of photosynthesis, though temporarily. The community structure of phytoplankton may get altered due to major accidental oil spill. The intertidal seaweeds, algae and mangroves will be adversely affected if their habitats get oiled.  The general impact of a spill on the flora of the affected and will be temporary and reversible though recovery might take 2 y or longer. c. Zooplankton:  An increase in concentrations of dissolved PHc in water subsequent to a spill can lead to plankton kills. The recovery of plankton will be however quick through repopulation of the community by fresh recruits from adjacent areas not affected by oil. Eggs and larvae of fishes, crustaceans and molluscs which are highly sensitive to even low concentrations of PHc (10-100 μg/l) and aromatics (1 - 5 μg/l) in particular will be severely affected.  However, it is unlikely that any localized losses of fish eggs and larvae caused by a spill will have discernible effect on the size or health of future adult populations.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 167

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla d. Benthos:  These organisms have limited movements and hence are more vulnerable to oil spills. If the thick weathered oily mass spread on intertidal areas, immediate mortalities of organisms in the zones of physical contact are expected.  If the residue persists for longer time in the sub tidal or intertidal segments due to sluggish local circulation, the recovery will be delayed. Thus, the benthic organisms of exposed shores will recover much faster than of sheltered habitats like lagoons, mangrove swamps, marshes etc. Similarly, benthic organisms of sandy habitats will recover faster as compared to those of the muddy intertidal segments where oil might penetrate into subsurface layers through animal burrows and might remain there for decades due to very low natural weathering of oil in such sheltered habitats.  The asphalt pavement formation on heavily oiled sandy beach or sheltered mud flat it occurs will delay the return of burrowing fauna, a primary source of food for aquatic birds. Clams will be killed in heavily oiled benthic habitats whereas polychaetes might survive on moderately oiled sediment bottom. Benthic system might recover back to normal in about 2 to 3y. e. Fishes:  A large oil spill can temporarily reduce the fish catch from the area as fish might migrate from the affected zone. Limited mortality may also occur particularly when the oil concentrations in water go abnormally high. Fishes are sensitive to oil and tend to avoid petroleum.  Often fishes get tainted and unpalatable but become normal when the ambient PHc level approaches the baseline which is expected within a few days.  The mangrove swamps being the breeding and nursery grounds for a variety fish and shell fish, large scale mortality of eggs and larval stages of several economically important groups may occur if oil is transported to these habitats during major accidental oil spill. Local fishermen may

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 168

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla get affected by getting either contaminated fishes/crabs/larvae etc. or poor catch but temporary.

f. Impact on Fishery:  As per the information collected from fisheries department Kutch, district and Deendayal Port Trust the largest Fish landing is at Badreshwer and at Jakhau. Jakhau is the main fish landing site of the Gulf with about 66.2% of total fish landing in the area.  There is very small fishing activity in the DPT area as the fishing in this region is prohibited. Only some illegal fishing activity is done in some creeks by near by village persons. The nearest fish landing site from the proposed site is village Veera, which is about 15 km westward. Badereshwer is approximately 20 km from the DPT area.  So it can be estimated that there will be negligible impact on the fishing activity due to the proposed project.

Thus looking to the overall facts and details, it has been envisaged that the construction & Operation of proposed project would have adverse impacts on biological environment of project area but can be mitigated and compensated through appropriate mitigation measures and conservation, management, greenbelt development, awareness and training programmes.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 170

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 4.7.1 Mangroves Conservation Plan

For the conservation of mangroves we suggest technical application for its increased population along with the awareness and education among the local people. The technical plan and guidelines for plantation is as follows:

1. Mangrove plantation is necessary on the open mud flat. At present these are sparse and needs high density plantation to combat the cyclonic threats and erosion. 2. Mangrove tree diversity is quite low and different spp. needs to be introduced taking into consideration of the local ecology. Particularly species of Rhizophoraceae family would be more effective. 3. Intertidal mangrove nurseries need to be planned on large scale for massive, high density plantation. 4. Natural regeneration should be encouraged and deforestation discouraged. 5. The Shelter belt concept to be strictly followed. 6. The succession and zonation patterns should be followed during plantation. 7. Continuous monitoring, gap filling and health of seedlings to be monitored. 8. Following guidelines to be followed.

Guidelines for Mangroves Plantation

I) High Density Plantation in Intertidal Mudflats, Including, Stabilinzing Creek Banks and Shoreland

a) Plantation of 2500 polyp at seedlings at distance of 1x1m; b) Seed sowing at spacing of 0.5m X 0.5m for Avicennia sp. and 1m x 1m for others like Rhizophors sp.; c) One can develop a model, combining model 1(a) and 1(b) and cost can be estimated as per ratio of two models. In sparse mangroves, population of seedling may be reduced accordingly and cost may be worked out.

II. Planting with Trenching:

This model of plantation is practiced in Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu in saline banks or mudflats with Suaeda cover. Mangrove height and vegetation

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 171

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla changes as one moves from seaward to landward and hyper saline lands which are normally found in backward of mangrove line. Good quality of mangroves is found in the area where tidal water reaches every day. In hyper saline area tidal water reaches occasionally due to marginal elevation of land from the mudflats of good mangrove area. Formation of hyper saline mudflat is natural process which occurs as a result of deposition of silt and high evapo‐ transpiration. This process is fastened when rivers and streams discharge high quantity of silt in the sea. The final result is the ‘saline blanks’ where tidal water cannot reach and the soil salinity is very high.

Digging of trenches facilities supply of tidal water within trench, which is normally used for planting mangrove seedlings. Successful plantations have been raised in some areas in the two states along the trenches but its long term survival is debated. Digging of trench involves disruption of natural process. This may provide temporary relief for regeneration of mangroves but there may be likely negative impact of ecology of the area. Mangroves enhance the process of land building by trapping silt. In this process, mangrove line slowly moves seaward in new mudflats whereas backward mangroves exterminate due to increase in salinity as a result of rise of mudflat. Saline mudflats with or without sparse Suaeda cover is ecotone are between terrestrial ecosystem and mangroves and brings ecotonal effect. This adds to the diversity of coastal wetlands, which results into rich diversity 3 of the area. Some mudflats with Suaeda are ecologically important for enhancing productivity or benthic organism. During winter and monsoon, thousands or birds use this area for feeding and nesting. Such areas are preferred habitats of waders as they feed in muddy area. Migratory birds also use such land for feeding and nesting.

There is a possibility of negative impacts of activities to trench digging on habitat and biodiversity therein. Man’s knowledge is limited and hence he should have faith in nature. For cause of mangrove development, there should be minimum disturbance to natural process. Excess excavation may result into erosion of mudflats as well as addition of silt load in water. This slit may have some impact of marine life.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 172

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla In the background of above, fact, scale of trenching for plantation of mangrove species should be very low and preference should be given for afforestating intertidal mudflats. The following guidelines should be followed for planting with trenching.

a) Trenching should be done in restricted area, leaving enough space for, maintenance of ecology. Thus, major part of the mudflat should not be disturbed. b) Disruption and excavation of mudflat should be minimum with careful designing of trenching. c) Trenches should be dug far away from the main creek. d) Mudflats having very gentle slopes should be preferred and should be extended up to distance where elevation of hyper saline mudflats does not exceed 10 cm to 15 cm form the level of mudflats supporting good mangroves; e) Since it is very high cost model of afforestation, other suitable species should be preferred over Avicennia.

III. Enrichment Plantation:

The main objective to this model is to improve biodiversity of the area and also to improve mangrove genetic resource conservation. Under this model, threatened species should be planted at appropriate site. Preference should be given to those species which have been exterminated from the area. Sometimes seeds or propagules maybe imported from other states for raising nursery. About 200‐400/ha should be planted in this model of afforestation.

IV. Awarness And Education:

This component of programme may include activities like: i) Conducting nature education camps for coastal peoples, especially students ii) Camps, meetings of villages to highlight importance of conservation of mangroves. ii) Educational tours for villages and field staff,

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 173

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla iii) Publishing literature on mangroves, their roles and regeneration techniques.

V. Training: Training is important for capacity building of all partners Involved in mangroves forests. This may include: (i) Training for fishermen and other coastal people on mangrove and related activities like fisheries, honey farming etc. (ii) Training for fishermen, local staff to develop arrangement for participatory Mangrove development. (iii) Inter‐state visit for field staff and fishermen (iv) International training to forest officers to improve their capability in planning assimilation of new technology.

4.8 Socio-Economic Environment 4.8.1 Impact during Construction Phase Due to the proposed project a significantly higher affirmative changes in the socio‐economic quality is foreseen, beneficial impacts of proposed project on socioeconomic layout of project area would start its occurrence from construction phase itself. Significant opportunity of direct & indirect employment and uplifting of the economic status of the area will be the major affirmative impact of the proposed projects. Besides, the adverse impacts on socioeconomics are not envisaged during the construction phase. Project developer will employ local people in the construction phase to meet the significant human resource requirement for construction works so that the locals would get opportunities for employment. Beside this, the local population would also get opportunities in related services activities like small contractors, sub contractors, supply of construction materials, supply of basic facilities like eatables to the site etc. The construction activities will generate lot of employment in the ancillary activities.

The project area is well connected with road networks and hence issue of traffic and transport infrastructure issues are not envisaged. The nearest locality is situated about 13 km away from site hence nuisance due to noise generation is also not envisaged. However, the minor impacts of vehicular noise is envisaged which will be mitigated by avoiding night transport

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla activities. Even some high noise generating construction activities will also be conducted in day time only.

Thus looking to the overall facts and details, it has been envisaged that the construction phase of proposed project would not pose any adverse impacts on socioeconomic layout of project area but will have significant beneficial impacts due to increased direct & indirect employment for construction works.

4.8.2 Impact during Operational Phase Similar to the construction phase, the operation phase will provide significant opportunities for employment in skilled, semi skilled & unskilled categories. This would multiply economic opportunities, and henceforth enhance the livelihood patterns of this region. Amenities like fresh water for port complex, transportation facility, green belts etc would positively enhance the infrastructure. Maximum of the human resource requirement will be met by local employment. Thus the proposed project would considerably beneficial to the socioeconomic conditions of local area. Rise in indirect employment and enterprise development due to proposed project would also be significantly beneficial to the economy of local area. These indirect employments would proliferate economic opportunities & conditions, henceforth enhance the livelihood patterns of this region. During the operation phase the operational & vehicular noise may have some impacts but as mentioned earlier by implementation of necessary mitigations for noise control such impacts would be avoided. Welfare activities along with employment done by project proponent will improve the socio‐economical condition as well status of health & education in the region.

Thus looking to the overall scenario of activities & probable impacts of the proposed projects, it has been envisaged that there will be an overall improvement in socioeconomic layout of project area will be the key benefits of the proposed projects. The adverse impacts will be almost none during the operation phase of project. The proposed project would bring over significant improvement of economic condition of local area, state & our nation by leading its activities of ship building & repair to the global platform.

4.9 Dispersion Modelling for dumping of the dredge materials

A three‐dimensional (3D), PT model was applied to simulate the fate of sediment suspended by the proposed construction operations. The model predicts the transport induced by currents, dispersion, settling and re‐ suspension processes. The MIKE Hydrodynamic (HD) model is used to provide a description of the current patterns which is underpinned by the HYCOM model which simulates the water flows in the sea & coastal area. The currents in this region are predominantly driven by the complex interaction of density gradients (due to freshwater inputs, atmospheric conditions and wind setup) local winds, astronomical and Coriolis forcing. The PT model uses output from the HD model to predict particle movements in a Lagrangian frame of reference. The flow regime is seeded with particles having defined properties, e.g. size, density, setting velocity and critical shear stress, etc. which are then tracked as they move with the flow. The PT model is capable of tracking the individual particles of different sizes from different sources and at different positions within the water column. This is a useful means of visualizing flow patterns, particularly eddies and recirculation cells but can also be used to examine the movement of material from dredging and arising from the construction of the gas pipelines along the coast have been disposal activities. The model outputs include spatial plot of sediment concentration resulting from the dredging and disposal operations.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 179

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla The sediment plumes assessed using the MIKE FM Particle Tracking model. This approach includes the influence of a range of hydrodynamic and meteorological conditions (wind and current speed and direction) typical for the site. A total of two modelling scenarios representing different tidal currents, dredging and disposal conditions have been investigated . The model results were then used to define the spatial extent of the turbidity and sedimentation over the model domain. Five threshold concentrations (2 mg/l, 5 mg/l, 10 mg/l, 20 mg/l and 50 mg/l) have been used to investigate the scale of impact. The model shows that the plume concentration is relatively low at the surface. Close to the seabed, the plume has higher suspended sediment concentrations. The presence of the plume will persist throughout the duration of the dredging activities (26 days), but quickly dissipate in about 4‐6 hours following their completion. Dredging at the construction sites results in the formation of a sediment plume soon after dredging works start. The sediment plume travels in the direction of the prevailing current along th kandla coastline. The predicted zone of potential influence includes the vicinity of the dredging areas, a zone to the south and to the north. The results indicate that the affected distance and area are dependent on the current direction, position in the water column and the threshold of concentration. Due to the weak northerly current, the sediment disturbed by the works is expected to settle rapidly back onto the seabed in an area to the north over a distance of about 2.5 km (for a 5 mg/l threshold of plume). The maximum extent of the plume was found under the southerly current condition. At the bottom, the impact (for a 5 mg/l threshold of plume) is confined within a distance of about 5 km from the disposal location where the maximum area of the plume is approximately 14.5 km2 . The findings presented in this report are limited by the reliability of the information applied within the study. The results of the particle‐tracking model have not been validated against field data. Parameters adopted in the modelling are based on the recommended values supported by published formulations. A further limitation concerns the hydrodynamic conditions which are restricted to two 33‐day periods in 2016 which were chosen to represent the typical range in conditions. The limited duration of these

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 180

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla datasets may not fully capture the variability in environmental conditions. The approach adopted is however expected to provide an adequate representation of potential environmental impacts since construction activities are likely to be suspended during more extreme conditions.

4.10 Impact of dredging on shoreline:

Nearshore dredging for construction aggregate or beach nourishment can result in a perturbation of natural littoral processes, changes in wave transformation patterns, and a net loss of sand from the littoral system. A method is described for estimating both direct and indirect effects of dredging on shoreline change. The direct effect results from infilling of the dredged pit via cross-shore sediment transport and is addressed statistically, assuming that the beach profile is in some arbitrary equilibrium shape. The indirect effect arises from project-induced wave transformation, which alters long shore sediment transport patterns, and is described using both spectral and monochromatic, numerical wave transformation models to provide input to a one-line model for shoreline change. In filling of the pit is neglected when estimating the indirect effect, providing a worst-case estimate of the indirect effect. The methodology is applied to a site on the kandla port, Sea coast, using hindcast wave data. The influences of pit location and geometry are investigated systematically, and recommendations regarding optimum pit dimensions and locations are made. Hotspots which are mainly areas nearer to the port region were specially studied for the quantification of erosion and accretion. Dredging for port development normally lead to noteworthy changes in the configuration of the seabed, These changes can meaning fully modify the currents, waves and water quality. The statistical method incorporated with GIS has been used to estimate the rate of change and net shore movement of the coast. The study indicates that gradual recession and accretion at Shorelines extracted for the past years indicate that the coastline adjacent to port area experienced both the erosion and accretion. Shoreline change rate of coastline is estimateded. Erosion and accretion of shoreline are major impacts of port/harbor. However, minor impacts are like an increase in pollution due to waste dumping and port-related industries, increase in coastal population and related activities and degradation of surrounding

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 181

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla environment due to dredging and dumping material. Most of the shoreline sites, though largely get affected due to port structures, during monsoon season, achieve natural partial equilibrium during the non-monsoon season due to reversing currents and wind pattern. And hence, it may be concluded that port/harbors have limited impact on the coastal shoreline.

4.11 Impact of Rock Dredging Out of three facilities, impact of excavation and dredging could be during development of container terminal at Tuna off Tekra and construction of Port Jetty and Shifting of SNA.  Excavation activities associated with the proposed project could result in the generation of debris and presence of equipment or materials that could be subject to run off into the marine environment.  Generation of sediment due to rock excavation could results in adverse effects to offshore habitat from increased turbidity of coastal water  These impacts can be classified as not severe as there are no important species detected near the project site Construction of Port Jetty and Shifting of SNA may cause some impacts. The impacts of dredging during construction phase will be limited to the construction tenure and will be local.  Dredging may cause turbidity in water  Turbidity may cause obstacle in the movement of the marine fauna  After construction of Jetty a permanent obstacle in movement may occur to the marine faunal species. The marine fauna may migrate to some other parts  The construction materials to be used will involve raw materials which are non‐hazardous in nature such as steel, cement, gravel, rock, earth etc.  Other requirements of the construction will be a usage of i) Construction equipments ii) Transportation vehicles iii) Skilled and unskilled labour vi) Creating temporary establishment v) Utilities etc.

Chapter 5. Analysis of Alternatives 5.1 General Deendayal Port Trust proposes to further expand various facilities within existing limits of Kandla Port in Kutch district of Gujarat. The present site for the projects is selected based on the following considerations:

a. Availability of suitable and adequate land. b. Distance from reliable sources of water c. Road and Railway Access d. Availability of infrastructural facilities e. Environmental Aspects

There are no sensitive area such as National Monuments, National Parks and Wildlife Sanctuaries, etc. within 10 Km of the project site.

5.2 Selection of Sites (i) Connectivity: Airway The national airlines operate daily flights through the district headquarters at Bhuj as well as Gandhidham which lies 67 Km & 20 Km respectively from Kandla Port. Gandhidham airport is also operational and there is a daily flight to Mumbai from this Airport.

Railway Broad Gauge (BG) tracks directly connect the Port at New Kandla with the principal cities of Bombay, Ahmadabad, Surat, Baroda, etc., and also Delhi, Punjab and Haryana through the route Ahmadabad‐Ratlam‐Kota‐Mathura to Delhi. The second route is via Palanpur‐Ajmer to Delhi.

Apart from this, the existing meter gauge line from Bhildi to Samdari has been converted to BG, which provides direct link to Jodhpur in Rajasthan & Bhatinda in Punjab and reduces the reach to Hinterland by 118 Km.

Road

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 183

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla Kandla is connected to the National Highway grid system through NH 8A coming from Mumbai via Ahmedabad and Morbi and terminates at the Port. All main gates of cargo jetty complex as well as oil jetty complex are directly connected to N.H. 8 A by four lane wide roads.

The city of Gandhidham where the Port Administrative Office and the main staff colony are located, also lies on NH 8A about 13 Km. from the Port. The port enjoys fully developed road network, both in and around the Port area to facilitate faster movement of cargo.

• Asphalted Road Network ‐ 30 Km • Concrete Road Network ‐ 30 Km

Presently 11.43 km long Kandla‐Kharirohar road connecting Oil Jetty complex with NH 8A is two lane wide. This road is being widened from two lane to four lane at a total cost of Rs. 2179 lakhs. This also includes construction of Railway Over Bridge.

Port has constructed a two lane wide road connecting Existing NH 8A with Tuna Port, which is 5 kms from Tekra. The widening of this road will commence in the near future.

(ii) Land form, land use and land ownership

Land is largely flat with scanty vegetation. Land currently is lying as barren land and is under ownership of Kandla Port.

(iii) Topography Topography at the site location is generally flat with average elevation of about 6.5m. Topsoil appears marshy.

(iv) Water Supply The Gujarat Water Supply and Sewerage Board is responsible for developing and managing various sources of water in the region. The important source of water is

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 184

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla the 14.5 Million m3 capacity reservoir of Tapar Dam, besides a number of deep tube wells. Water is distributed to Kandla area from high service reservoir near Bhachau through 18” dia. CI mains, after chlorination. The capacities of the elevated water towers and underground reservoirs at Kandla are 1500 kl. and 14000 kl., respectively. The average daily consumption of water at Kandla area is estimated at around 2000 kl. The position is improved to a great extent by tapping the source of water from Sardar Sarovour Narmada Nigam Limited.

Presently water is distributed to Tuna area through tankers as fulfillment demand of 5 KL per day. Total requirement of water in 562 area is 200 MLD water supply is ensured by Gujarat water supply Board. However, if situation arises provision is made for a stand alone water desalination plant at the zone. This is to be installed by private parties and operated on commercial basis for SEZ area.

(v) Electricity / Power Supply The port receives Bulk power supply from PGVCL through seven 11 KV sub stations. Besides, the port has two diesel generating sets to meet with emergency needs. A scheme is presently under implementation to augment the power supply to 66 KV and to provide necessary infrastructure for receiving Bulk supply, stepping down and distribution. Uninterrupted good quality estimated power requirement of 900MW is expected to be supplied in the SEZ area by the Gujarat Government. However, master plan caters for setting up a dedicated power back up from an independent power producer (IPP) at a later stage, if required. The BOT operator shall be required to install a transformer yard for transmission and power distribution for the said project.

5.3 Alternate Sites Proposed projects will be in existing Kandla Port area, owned by Deendayal Port Trust and the area is already in use for port operations and suitable for all the proposed projects, therefore no alternate sites have been selected.

Chapter 6. Environment Monitoring Programme

6.1 Introduction Environmental Management is nothing but resource management and environmental planning is just the same as development planning. They are just the other side of the same coin. The resource management and development planning look at the issue from narrow micro‐economical point of view while environmental management views the issue from the broader prospective of long term sustained development option, which ensures that the environment is not desecrated.

For the effective and consistent functioning of the project, proper environmental monitoring programme shall be carried at Deendayal Port Trust.

The programme shall include the following:

 Environmental Monitoring  Personnel Training  Regular Environmental audits and Correction measures  Documentation–standards operation procedures Environmental Management Plan and other records

6.2 Environmental Monitoring DPT will outsource the work of monitoring to assess the environmental health in the post period. A post study monitoring programme is important as it provides useful information on the following aspects.

 It helps to verify the predictions on environmental impacts presented in this study.

 It helps to indicate warnings of the development of any alarming environmental situations, and thus, provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures in advance.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 186

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla The monitoring programme, based on the findings of the impact assessment studies in different areas of environment, has been outlined in the next few sections. Post study monitoring programme including areas, number and location of monitoring stations, frequency of sampling and parameters with annual monitoring cost to be covered have been summed up in Table 60

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 6.2.1 Meteorology

Meteorology forms one of the important categories of environment in the area as it directly controls the levels of ambient air quality in the surrounding. As such, a meteorological station is proposed to be set up at proposed Kandla Port office for recording of relevant meteorological parameters. The observatory shall have equipment for recording the temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, atmospheric pressure as well wind speed and wind direction.

6.2.2 Ambient Air Quality

Monitoring of ambient air quality at the Kandla Port at 4 locations shall be carried out quarterly to ascertain the levels of pollutants in the atmosphere; air quality could represent one of the worst affected environmental disciplines due to the Port

operations. Ambient air quality shall be monitored once in three months for PM10, PM2.5 ,

SO2 ,NOx and CO 24 hourly samples of ambient air quality at 4 different locations in and around Kandla Port area.

6.2.3 Water Quality

Water quality constitutes another important area in the post study monitoring programme. The major streams or perennial sources of surface water in the study area are Nakti creek, Khori creek and Kandla creek. Contamination in creek water near the vicinity of Kandla Port area during the operation is possible only in two forms.

 Contamination of rain water passing through the proposed facilities.  Contamination due to discharge from various facilities.

Water samples near the Kandla Port area shall be sampled twice in a year and analyzed for physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters, including heavy metals and trace elements.

6.2.4 Noise Level Ambient noise levels shall be monitored at 8 locations covering industrial, commercial, residential and sensitive areas in all seasons for day time and night time Leq.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 189

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

6.2.5 Soil/Sediment Quality

Soil samples in and around Kandla Port area and sediment samples from creeks shall be collected once in a year. The samples shall be analyzed for physical and chemical parameters as well as organic and nutrient content and heavy metals. This would help to detect any contamination or build up of harmful or toxic elements due to leachate from the pollutants.

6.2.6 Marine Ecology The marine ecological study shall be carried out yearly at 6 different locations nearby the port area.

Marine Benthic Fauna

The benthic population and community structure around the outfall shall be paid to monitor anvasion of any non‐indigenous marine species in the area. The collected data shall be statistically analyzed so that the diversity indices can be recorded. This will enable to develop meaningful management plans in altering the discharge method.

Health of Mangroves

Periodical assessment of the health of mangroves is being carried out with the help of guide and will be continued on quarterly basis on three locations.

Assessing the Status of Fisheries

Continuous monitoring of the intake system for impingement and entrapment of marine organisms has to be carried out. The trash bars and screens meant to prevent impingement have to be regularly examined for the type of Faunal impinged and the quantity of commercially valuable fish impinged on the screens. Similarly the intake water has to be examined at the pumping location for entrapped organisms, especially fish eggs and larvae of commercially important species, so that a realistic assessment of possible fisheries loss could be made. The exercise is also necessary to understand the efficacy of the screen and other devices used to minimize the entrapment.

Chapter 7. Additional Studies

7.1 Oil Spill An oil spill is the release of a liquid petroleum hydrocarbon into the environment, especially marine areas, due to human activity, and is a form of pollution. The term is usually applied to marine oil spills, where oil is released into the ocean or coastal waters, but spills may also occur on land. Oil spills may be due to releases of crude oil from tankers, offshore platforms, drilling rigs and wells, as well as spills of refined petroleum products (such as gasoline, diesel) and their by‐products, heavier fuels used by large ships such as bunker fuel, or the spill of any oily refuse or waste oil.

7.1.1 Objective of Oil Spill Study The objectives of oil spill contingency plan is to respond to oil spill efficiently by a well planned system in which all concerned departments and agencies acts in a coordinated manner to minimize the damage to marine environment, property and to human life at large..

7.1.2 Causes of Oil Spill The various operations related to SPM and associated facilities that would cause spillage of oil are listed below.

• Hose failure at SPM during to unloading of crude oil. • Leakage from the sub‐sea pipeline running from SPM to LFP. • Collision/grounding of the tanker in the vicinity of SPM. • Leakage on the land from the pipeline connecting to COT. • Drifting and breaking away of the tankers from the SPM and anchorages. • Damage to the tanker due to high tidal waves, earthquakes, tsunami etc.

Pipelines are designed, fabricated, laid and periodically inspected as per standard codes. Hence, spillages due to corrosion, gauges etc are rare during design life of the pipeline. Moreover, the operational procedures are set on ‘No Leak’ philosophy under

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 191

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

normal operating conditions and occurrence of an oil spill is expected to be rare. However, in a case of eventualities such as earth quake, fire, collision, grounding, large oil spills can occur as on ‘unavoidable phenomenon’. Generally small spills go unnoticed, though large oil spills are recorded and reported. On the basis of data available for incidences of oil spills worldwide during 1974 to 2007 following interferences can be made.

The causes can be divided into operational, accidental and other/unknown. Most spills normally occur at ports/oil terminals. The majority of oil spills amounting to 91% are lesser than 7 t. Of the oil spills caused during the events, 84% spills are in excess of 700 t. The spills are categorized as < 7 t, 7 to 700 t and > 700 t. It shows that smaller spills (< 7 t)68 mostly occur during loading/discharging (37%) followed by other/unknown (28%) and other operations (15%) while spills of 7 to 700 mostly cause during loading/discharging (27%), collision (25%) and grounding (19%). The major cause of large spills (> 700 t) remains grounding (34%) followed by collision (28%). Fire and explosion as well as hull failures are responsible for 8.7 and 12.4% spills.

7.1.3 Spill Quantities Though probability of failure of state of art loading during the operations is low, if it happens, at a pumping rate of 9550 m3/h and the response time of 1 min (max), the expected spill is 158 t and is a very rare incidence.

Failure during operations though low if it occurs, leakage from sub‐sea pipeline as well as that from LFP to COT can be controlled within 30 sec. Hence at the pumping rate of 9500 m3/h, the spill quantity is estimated at 79 t as a rare event.

In case of an eventuality, damage/rupture to the oil compartment can occur though entire cargo compartments are protected by another hull and cargo spillage due to collision/grounding is remote. The amount of spill likely to occur during accidental causes is roughly estimated at 1000 t. This occurrence is considered as extremely rare probability.

7.1.5 Composition of Oil

Crude is a naturally occurring complex mixture of organic compounds. It was formed from the partial decomposition of animal and plant matters over a geological time. It is recovered by drilling wells in the reservoirs in the earth. The physical properties and chemical composition of crude from different producing regions and even from different depths in the same well can vary markedly. Crude contains thousands of different chemical compounds. Hence, its chemical complexity probably resulted from a process of molecular scrambling during the formation of these chemical compounds; the hydrocarbons (aliphatic and aromatic) are most abundant. Other types are traces of various compounds of nitrogen, sulphur and oxygen as well as traces of organo‐metallic compounds of mainly nickel and vanadium.

Obviously physical characteristics of the crude’s to be handled at the SPM also vary largely. For instance specific gravity (at 15.56oC) of the crude’s is .highly varied from 0.8282 to 0.922 indicating that they are lighter than water and categorized as light/medium. Their viscosity (CST at 37.8oC) varies in a wide range i.e. 9.2, 20.1, 410.5,

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 193

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

3.28 and 77.9 for Arab Medium, Arab Heavy, Doba, Bombay High and Maya crude’s respectively indicating that Doba and Maya are highly viscous crude’s. The pour points (oC) of Arab Medium, Arab Heavy, Doba, Bombay High and Maya are ‐17.8, ‐17.8, ‐2.77, + 30 and ‐23 respectively. These values reveal that Bombay High is the non‐flowing thick liquid at 300C while other crude’s are flowing liquids at normal tropical temperatures.

Hydrogen Sulphide (H2S) which gives bad odour to a crude are generally at non‐ detectable levels except for Doba crude which contain the gas in < 1 ppm concentration. On the basis of sulphur content the crudes are categorized as Arab medium and Arab Heavy: normal crude (S 2 to 3%), Doba and Bombay High: sweet crude (S <0.5%) and Maya: sour crude (S> 3%), Presence sulphur derivatives such as mercaptans and thiols in a crude produce strongly unpleasant garlic smell.

General composition of crudes is as follows:

a) Aliphatic hydrocarbons Crude oil contains a mixture of alkanes which are straight chain saturated compounds, related to methane and ethane, and iso‐alkanes, which are branched chain compounds like isobutene and isooctane. The compounds with 5 to 7 C atoms are liquids and those having higher number are solids. The paraffins waxes (C22 ‐ C30) and petroleum jelly (C30 ‐ C70) are the higher homologous of paraffins.

b) Alicyclic hydrocarbons The alicyclic hydrocarbons are saturated (cycloalkanes) or unsaturated (cycloalkenes) containing 5 to 6 C atoms arranged in a ring. They are also known as naphthenes and comprise 30 to 60% of petroleum with the dominance of saturated forms. Some naphthenic hydrocarbons found in petroleum are cyclobutenes, limonenes, cyclopentenes, cyclohexenes etc.

c) Aromatic hydrocarbons Aromatic hydrocarbons which are one, two or polycyclic type,comprise around 25% of the total crude oil. Some members of aromatic hydrocarbons are benzene, toluene,

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 194

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

naphthalene, biphenyl, 1, 8‐dimethyl phenanthrene, 3‐methyl chrysene, 1‐methyl pyrene, perylene,3,4‐banzo[a]pyrene, banz[a]anthracene, acenaphthene, acenaphthylene, anthracene, fluorine, 2‐methylnaphthalene etc.

d) Non-hydrocarbons The major non‐hydrocarbons in a crude oil are organic compounds containing N, S and O (NSO) and metals like Ni, V, Cu, Zn and Fe. Contributions of non‐hydrocarbons to crude oil vary from 2 to 50% and origin of a crude oil largely influences the composition of these constituents. The O compounds are generally in the form of phenols, carboxylic acids, ketones, esters etc. The N compounds include substituted pyrine and quinoline compounds, pyrroles, indoles, carbozones and benzcarbazones. Most of the sulphur in crude oil is present as methyl‐ethyl sulphite, cycloalkyl thiol, n‐pentyl mercapton etc. Most abundant metals namely Ni and V are found in the form of petroporphyrin complexes and occur in the range of 0.03μg/l to over 300 μg/l in crude petroleum.

7.1.6 Toxicity Toxicity of crude mostly falls in two general categories. The first category includes effects associated with coating or smothering of an organism with oil. Such effects are associated primarily with the higher molecular weight, water‐insoluble hydrocarbons. In the event of a spill of crude oil, the various tarry substances that coat the feathers of birds and cover inter tidal organisms such as clams, oysters, and barnacles belong to this variety. Although some organisms such as tubeworms and barnacles are surprisingly little affected by such coatings, the effect on organisms such as aquatic birds can be devastating. The second category of toxicity involves disruption of an organisms metabolism due to the ingestion of oil and the incorporation of hydrocarbons into lipid or other tissues in sufficient concentrations to upset the normal functioning of the organisms. This effect is due to the cumulative effect of the individual constituents present in crude. It is generally agreed that aromatic hydrocarbons are the most toxic, followed by cycloalkanes, then olefins, and lastly alkanes. There is also a definite tendency for toxicity to be positively correlated with the molecular size of the hydrocarbons in which median tolerance limits of some aromatic hydrocarbons for selected marine macro invertebrates and fish are given.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 195

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

Most toxic effects caused by ingestion of oil in water, however are believed to be due to low molecular weight (C12 – C24) alkanes and low molecular weight aromatics.

7.1.7 Weathering Process Once the oil enters the sea, several processes start acting simultaneously resulting in alteration in its physical and chemical properties. These processes include spreading, drifting, evaporation, dispersion, dissolution, emulsification, photo‐oxidation, microbial degradation and sedimentation. Though each process has a typical effect, the resultant impact is generally a cumulative one. Evaporation and dissolution are the two major processes, which are mainly responsible for removing major fraction of spilled oil from marine environment. They both together can remove more than 90% of hydrocarbons lighter than n‐C10 within few hours of an oil spill.

a) Spreading: Spreading of crude oil on the water surface begins as soon as oil spills into the sea and largely depends upon volume of oil and its physical characteristics namely density, viscosity and pour point. The environmental factors such as wind velocity, current and temperature also influence spreading. The four main physical forces influencing the spreading on a calm seawater surface are gravitation force, surface tension, inertia and frictional or viscous drag force. Aromatic and aliphatic hydrocarbons with < 9 C atoms have greater tendency to spread while compounds with higher molecular weights do not tend to spread on water.

Spreading accelerates evaporation leading to increase in viscosity and pour point of the residue. Presence of NSO compounds in petroleum also facilitates dissolution and once soluble compounds are lost, spreading decreases considerably.

b) Drift: Drift is a large‐scale phenomenon that determines the movement of an oil spill and is primarily controlled by wind, waves and surface currents. Thus for instance, when the wind velocity is the determinant force in drift movement, a slick can move at a rate of 3%

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 196

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

of the wind velocity in the same direction as that of the wind. However, prediction of drift of a spill on the basis of wind pattern alone is difficult because of the current and wave perturbations. This is compounded by the fact that the most surface wave spectra are composed of a number of different wave systems with varying periods and directions.

c) Evaporation: Evaporation is the major process that removes the low boiling components of petroleum from the sea surface. The composition of oil and its physical properties, wind velocity, air and sea temperatures, turbulence and intensity of solar radiation and surface area of the spill, all affect evaporation rates of hydrocarbons.

Evaporation rate for a specific hydrocarbon is a function of its vapor pressure, which in turn is inversely related to the molecular weight. The compounds with vapor pressure greater than that of n C18 do not persist in a spill for longer period while those with lesser vapor pressure do not evaporate appreciably. Under normal conditions losses of aromatic hydrocarbons by evaporation are 100 times greater than losses by dissolution and that the evaporation rate for aliphatics may be 10,000 times greater than their rate of dissolution. Loss of volatile hydrocarbons, mostly by evaporation, increases the density and kinematics viscosity of the residual oil resulting in break‐up of the slick into smaller patches. Agitation of these patches enhances incorporation of water due to increased surface area resulting in water‐in‐oil emulsion called as chocolate mousse.

7.2 Marpol MARPOL is the International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution From Ships, 1973 as modified by the Protocol of 1978. ("Marpol" is short for marine pollution and 73/78 short for the years 1973 and 1978.)

Marpol is one of the most important international marine environmental conventions. It was designed to minimize pollution of the seas, including dumping, oil and exhaust pollution. Its stated object is: to preserve the marine environment through the complete elimination of pollution by oil and other harmful substances and the minimization of accidental discharge of such substances.

7.3 Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan

Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and assessment of risks that neighboring populations are exposed to as a result of hazards present. This requires a thorough knowledge of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of population etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum credible accident studies. The Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is based upon identification of various hazards, probable risks in operation and construction of Kandla Port activities have been assessed to maximum credible accident analysis, consequence analysis which gives a broad identification of risks involved in the plant. The Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan have already been prepared and enclosed as Annexure-VII. The letter for OISD norms applicable is attached as Annexure-XIII.

7.4 Public Consultation The public hearing for the proposed project was held on 18.12.2013 at 11:30 hrs, opposite to Aarya Logistic, Near Nakti Bridge, Tuna Kandla road, Deendayal Port Trust, Tehsil Gandhidham, District Kutch. An advertisement in English was published in the daily news paper “The Times of India dated 17.11.2013 and in Gujarati daily news paper “Kutch Mitra” dated 17.11.2013. Details of the public hearing proceedings along with action plan are attached as Annexure-XIV.

7.5 Bathymetry Study 1. The Kandla port, a major port of western part of Indian Coastal region is located at the head of Gulf of Kutch. The Bathometry of Gulf in the approaches to Kandla Creek has number of shoals & natural channels. The strong tidal currents during flood & ebbs phase of the tide is associated with long sediment flow and play a vital role in determining configuration of shoals & channels. 2. The approach to Kandla Creek from Gulf of Kutch is very dynamic & has undergone several changes over the years. The present navigational channel has a length of about 17 km from outer Tuna Buoy to Buoy No.13 at outfall of Kandla Creek. It has a width of

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 198

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

350 meter all along except in the curved portion where width of the channel is about 400m for easy passage of vessels. The channel is being maintained by continuous dredging throughout the year. Recently efforts were being made to sustain the desired depth of 8.5m along the western bank between buoy No.10 & Buoy No.8 but did not succeed. Deendayal Port Trust then proposed to shift the channel in this reach by 50 m towards eastern side (Annexure-V). 7.6 Representations from Conservation Action Trust (NGO) It has observed that various representations/comments were raised by the Conservation Action Trust over remaining 3 integarted facilities of DPT Stage-1 and same were recived by the MoEF on 30/04/2017 during the 16th meeting of EAC (Infra-2) for grant of ToR.

5 Some of the proposed projects in the Kandla Excerpts of the meeting are not relevant, Not required area are‐ as the proposed facilities are not parts of In the 34th GCZMA Meeting held on 16th March the SEZ. 2017 at Gandhinagar. One of the item on the agenda was CRZ Clearance for setting up of Port based multi‐product Special Economic Zone in 5000 Ha at Tuna (1400 Ha) and Kandla (3600 Ha) within Deendayal Port Trust limit, District; Kutch M/s Deendayal Port Trust. Excerpts from the minutes of the GCZMZA Meeting‐  The Member Secretary, GEC and Chairman of the Sub‐Committee of GCZMA, apprised the Authority that the Sub‐Committee of GCZMA visited the proposed site at Kandla and Tuna on 10‐02‐2017 along with concerned officials from Deendayal Port Trust.

 It was further apprised that during visit of Tuna area, the Committee observed that entire area at Tuna of the proposed SEZ falls within CRZ. The proposed site is categorized as CRZ1‐ (a) & (b) area in the base map prepared by institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University, Chennai, however Committee during site visit, the Committee observed that the proposed falls in the CRZ‐1(a) category only, as the intertidal mudflats are biologically active.A substantial part of it is a part of the mangrove swamps. Also, Good to Sparse Mangrove patches are interspaced in the proposed SEZ area.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 201

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 As per the observation, extent of mangroves at Tuna areas of proposed SEZ site, are found to be higher than it’s mentioned in EIA Report. Even though in the proposal its mentioned that buffer zone of 50 meter width will be kept around mangrove areas but while field visit, it was observed that after leaving buffer zone width of 50 meter and also due to absence of large chunk of open areas the effective area available for SEZ will be far less than the proposed.

 The Committee observed that the proposed area at Kandla can be broadly divided in two parts i.e.(A) Salt Pan areas and (B) Non‐ Salt pan areas.The non‐salt pan area is having dense and sparse mangroves along with mangrove swamps. It was observed that the extent of the mangroves is higher than shown in the map prepared by Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Anna University. It was also observed by the committee that the proposed intertidal area for SEZ is falling under the category of CRZ1‐(a). There are no sufficient open patches in the entire area to be take up any developmental activities as it may disturb to existing mangrove patches and its swamp areas.

 The Authority deliberated the proposal of Deendayal Port Trust for Development of Port Based Multi Product SEZ at Tuna and Kandla, report of the sub‐committee along with recommendation , and after detailed discussion, the authority decided to recommend to the Ministry

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 202

of Environment Forest and Climate Change, Government of India to exclude 2681 Ha area (1400 hectares at Tuna and 3600 hectares at Kandla) at the time of grant of Environmental Clearance for proposed development of port based Multi Product SEZ at Tuna and Knadla, District Kutch. 6 An amendment in the EC for the construction of 13th to 16th Cargo berth at Kandla (Agenda Item 13.2.15) was discussed in the 13th Infra‐ 2 EAC Meeting held on 23rd ‐25th Janaury 2017. Also, ToR for proposed creation of waterfront activities (Oil Jetties 8, 9, 10 & 11) No Action required Not required and development of land (1432 acres) for associated facilities for storage at Old Kandla was discussed {Agenda Item 14.2.1} in the 14th Infra‐2 EAC Meeting held on 13th ‐15th February 2017. 7 The piece mealing of projects in Kandla area has led to Fragmentation of the ecologically sensitive and geo‐morphologically important features of the area. The pace at which the proposed projects are discussed in the EAC in context to the DPT will cause a severe ecological imbalance. This imbalance will have a negative impact not only on the No Action is required at the end of project Not required biodiversity of the Kandla and Khori creek but promponent/Consultant also on the biodiversity of Gulf of Kutch, which is the one of the most bio diverse area. Further, this lead to the destruction of the mangroves, mudflats in the Kandla region. A Carrying capacity study should be conducted all the projects in the area (existing and proposed)

Chapter 8. Project Benefits

8.1 Improvement in the Physical Infrastructure

In order to ease pressure on the existing cargo berths, Deendayal Port Trust has taken a slew of measures that include development of new jetties. In light of the same it is proposed to develop the facility at Kandla Port., which is vital for economic growth as well as improving the quality of life. The improved cargo supply will have strong logistical support for delivering the products to customers at better quality and better price Availability of product in vicinity of demand location will reduce price. Delivery distance by tankers which in turn will reduce trucks on the road reducing the vehicular load on the already strained public roads, thereby reducing the noise pollution as well as air pollution at local levels and also reduced probability of accidents on the roads due to less movement of tanks and trucks. Establishment of large developmental projects improve the availability of the physical infrastructures like approach roads, drainage, communication and transportation facilities etc.

Chapter 10. Environmental Management Plan

10.1 General Deendayal Port Trust is committed to continuously improve the environment in and around Port area in line with National and International norms. The Integrated Environmental Management Plan for the integrated facilities within Kandla Port area proposes to integrate the baseline conditions, impacts likely to occur, and the supportive and assimilative capacity of the system. The most reliable way to achieve the above objective is to incorporate the management plan into the overall planning and implementation of the project.

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be defined as “an environmental management tool used to ensure that undue or reasonably avoidable adverse impacts of the construction, operation and decommissioning of a project are prevented; and that the positive benefits of the projects are enhanced”. EMPs are therefore important tools for ensuring that the management actions arising from Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) processes are clearly defined and implemented through all phases of the project life‐cycle. This plan also helps an organization map its progress toward achieving continual improvements. Each organization is unique and, as a result, so is Environmental Management Plans. The level of detail and length of an EMP varies depending on the type of organization, the complexity of its processes and the maturity of the organization in understanding its environmental responsibilities. Some plans may end up being only a few pages long, while others could become extensive documents.

The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the integrated facilities within Kandla Port area includes the following:

 Air emissions management  Control of Noise  Wastewater management  Waste management  Dredged materials management  Hazardous materials and oil management  Biodiversity Management

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 210

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 Greenbelt Development  Mangrove Plantation  Energy Conservation Measures  Environment Management Cell Environmental Management Plan in a tabular form has been given at the end of the Chapter in Table-66.

10.2 Air Emissions Management 10.2.1 Construction Phase

During Construction phase, Gaseous emissions from DG sets and transportation vehicles are expected to cause deterioration in the Ambient Air Quality. Also digging operations will involve stock piling of the soil that may become source of fugitive dust emission especially during dry weather. Though the gaseous emissions are not expected to contribute significantly to the ambient air quality, some generic measures to reduce fugitive and gaseous pollutant emissions during the construction phase should be implemented.

 Water sprinklers will be used to control the fugitive dusts.  Prudent and good construction practices will be used to minimize the spread of sediments, which are stirred during pile driving and other construction. Mainly stock piles, excavated earthen materials etc. should be managed with water sprinkling to avoid dust /soil being airborne from the specific site.  Diesel driven construction machinery and equipments should be fitted with appropriate silencers, will not be left idle for prolonged periods of time, and be subjected to regular scheduled maintenance to minimize the exhaust emission.  The vent of the DG sets should be positioned at a sufficient height to ensure dispersal of exhaust emission to meet the standards set by CPCB.  Vehicle engines should not be left running when not in use.  Improperly functioning equipment and vehicles should be removed from the project site or should be repaired before returning to service.

10.2.2 Operation Phase

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 211

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

The most significant sources of air pollutants from port operations include combustion emissions from ships propulsion and auxiliary engines and boilers, mainly consisting of sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen oxides (NOX), greenhouse gases (e.g. carbon dioxide

(CO2) and carbon monoxide (CO), particulate matter (PM), and volatile organic compounds (VOC), followed by combustion source emissions from vehicles and land‐ based engines and boilers contributing similar pollutants.

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) may also be emitted from fuel storage and transfer. Storage and handling of dry bulk cargo, as well as from onshore construction activities and vehicle traffic on unpaved roads, may also contribute to particulate matter emissions.

Recommended air emissions management strategies include:

10.2.2.1 Combustion Sources  Developing air quality management procedures applicable to ship operators, such as:

o Maintaining emissions of NOx and SOx within the limits established by international regulations (MARPOL);

o Using low‐sulfur fuels in port as required by international regulations (MARPOL);

o Navigation of port access areas at partial power, achieving full power only after leaving the port area;

o Avoiding or limiting the practice of blowing soot from tubes or flues on steam boilers while in port or during unfavorable atmospheric conditions;

o If the port provides onshore power for vessels to reduce shipboard power use during loading / unloading activities, requiring vessels to shut down power plants (go “cold iron”) if docked above a specified time threshold.

 Depending on the need to address local air quality concerns, operators shall develop air quality management procedures for application to land‐based activities which may include:

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 212

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

o Keeping transfer equipment (e.g. cranes, forklifts, and trucks) in good working condition;

o Upgrading the land vehicle fleet with less‐polluting trucks and vehicles, and using alternative fuels and fuel mixtures;

o Encouraging reduction in engine idling during on‐ and off‐loading activities;

o Encouraging storage planning to avoid or minimize re storage and reshuffling of cargo.

Where practicable, designing new facilities to minimize travel distance from ships off‐loading and on‐loading facilities to storage areas.

10.2.2.2 Volatile Organic Compounds VOC emissions from fuel storage and transfer activities should be minimized by means of equipment selection, such as the use of floating top storage tanks or vapor recovery systems for fuel storage, loading / offloading, and fueling activities (depending on the type of material to be stored), and adoption of management practices such as limiting or eliminating loading / unloading during poor air quality episodes or implementing tank and piping leak detection and repair programs.

10.2.2.3 Dust Dry bulk materials storage and handling facilities should be designed to minimize or control dust emissions, including:

 Storing pulverized coal and pet‐coke in silos;  Installing dust suppression mechanisms (e.g. water spray or covered storage areas);  Using telescoping chutes to eliminate the need for slingers;  Using vacuum collectors at dust‐generating activities;  Using slurry transport, pneumatic or continuous screw conveyors, and covering other types of conveyors;  Minimizing free fall of materials.  Minimizing dry cargo pile heights and containing piles with perimeter walls;  Removing materials from the bottom of piles to minimize dust re‐suspension;  Ensuring hatches are covered when material handling is not being conducted;

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 213

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 Covering transport vehicles;  Regularly sweeping docks and handling areas, truck/rail storage areas, and paved roadway surfaces

10.3 Control of Noise The principal goal of noise control is to ensure that noise from the project activities does not exceed acceptable parameters and that the noise levels are not injurious to health and do not create a nuisance.

10.3.1 Construction Phase The major Impact on noise level of the proposed project, during the construction phase, is envisaged due to the noise generation by the operation of the machineries, equipments and some mechanical works.

 During night time transportation activities will not be allowed to avoid high noise level in nearby villages/locality. Only in case of emergency the transportation activities shall be allowed in night time.

 All vehicles should be equipped with the horn of low noise level which is recommended by authority to avoid impacts on noise level. Further, adequate silencers must be attached with all vehicles to reduce the noise.

 Machineries/equipment causing high noise level should not be operated during the night time.

 It should be ensured that the equipment used during construction is properly maintained to keep noise emissions within the permissible limits.

 Construction machinery should be in good working condition and engines turned off when not in use.

10.3.2 Operation Phase Noise sources in port operations include cargo handling, vehicular traffic, and loading / unloading containers and ships. Atmospheric conditions that may affect noise levels include humidity, wind direction, and wind speed. Vegetation, such as trees, and walls may reduce noise levels. Noise prevention and mitigation measures should be applied

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 214

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

where predicted or measured noise level from a project facility or operations exceed the applicable noise level guideline at the most sensitive point of reception.

Noise reduction options that should be considered include:

 Selecting equipment with lower sound power levels;  Installing suitable mufflers on engine exhausts and compressor components;  Installing acoustic enclosures for equipment casing radiating noise;  Improving the acoustic performance of constructed buildings, apply sound insulation;  Installing vibration isolation for mechanical equipment;  Limiting the hours of operation for specific pieces of equipment or operations, especially mobile sources operating through community areas;  Re‐locating noise sources to less sensitive areas to take advantage of distance and shielding;  Siting permanent facilities away from community areas;  Reducing project traffic routing through community areas wherever possible;  Provision of Personal Protective Equipments and their proper usage for eardrum protection of the workers as well as visitors;  Periodic monitoring of sound level at suggested places;  Periodical maintenance of all equipments and transport vehicles.

10.4 Water Environment 10.4.1 Construction Phase

The major impacts on marine water quality are envisaged due to the civil works activities like driving of piles, construction of berth, approach way, movement of construction equipments etc. During these works the turbidity level may increase in the local body which may lead to the considerable impacts on marine resources. The runoff from the site containing construction materials, debris, and construction waste and excavated earthen materials may have adverse impacts on the water environment especially on nearby marine water habitat, which in turn can increase turbidity in and consequently affects the rate of the photosynthetic activity of the aquatic life. Other

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 215

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

sources of potential impacts arise from uncontrolled run – off from the labour camps and accidental spill of oil etc. in to surface water bodies. Recommended water pollution management strategies include:

 During concrete work, care will be taken that no mortar or cementing material shall fall in the water as this will not only pose impacts but also would lead to loss of material.

 As a precautionary measure this circumstances lead to providing of plastics sheet or tarpaulin in order to avoid any chance of dumping of construction materials into the water.

 Storage area of the construction material should be at adequate distance from the coastal area to prevent any chances of contamination of coastal/marine environment as well as to facilitate proper / efficient construction work.

 Runoff (Wastewater) from the construction work should be carefully managed to ensure the prevention of entry of contaminants arising from construction work/site.

 Spillage or leakage of construction material in the nearby aquatic habitat is envisaged. Care should be taken to minimize the chances of the Spillage or leakage of construction materials.

 Construction materials like concrete should be prepared out of the coastal area. 10.4.2 Operation Phase

Water effluents associated with port activities may include storm water and sewage from port operations, as well as sewage, ballast water (e.g. from oil tankers), bilge water, and vessel cleaning wastewater from ships. Ship sewage and wastewater contains high levels of BOD and Coli form bacteria, with trace concentrations of constituents such as pharmaceuticals, and typically low pH levels. Wash water may contain residues such as oil. Pollutants in bilge water contain elevated levels of BOD, COD, dissolved solids, oil, and other chemicals that accumulate as the result of routine operations. Total water required for the project is 5 KLD and it will be utilized for different facilities in DPT.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 216

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

Water requirement for the construction purpose for this project is 3 KLD whereas for Domestic/drinking purpose it is 2 KLD. Hence, total water requirement is coming 5KLD. As far as railway line is concerned, it is only 11 KM in length and it does not require provision of STP. Collection tanks of wastewater from the railway toilet shall be emptied at the tuna port from where it will be transferred to STP

Figure 42 : Water Balance Diagram Port Sewage and Storm Water Management Recommendations specific to storm water and waste water management from port facilities include:  Avoiding installation of storm drainage catch basins that discharge directly into surface waters, using containment basins in areas with a high risk of accidental releases of oil or hazardous materials (e.g. fueling or fuel transfer locations), and oil / grit or oil / water separators in all runoff collection areas. Oil / water separators and trapping catch basins should be maintained regularly to keep them operational;

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 217

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 Installing filter mechanisms (e.g. draining swabs, filter berms, drainage inlet protection, sediment traps and sediment basins) to prevent sediment and particulates from reaching the surface water.

10.4.2.1 Ship Wastewater Management  Port operators should provide collection, storage, and transfer and / or treatment services, and facilities of sufficient capacity and type for all wastewater generated by vessels at the port in accordance with MARPOL and national regulations:

 Oily waste and wastewater should be collected in barges, vehicles, or central collection systems and storage tanks; the capacity of oily waste collection should be established based on applicable MARPOL provisions;

 Wastewater with noxious chemicals from bulk tank cleaning should be collected through appropriate onsite or off‐site treatment prior to discharge; 113865269  Incompatible substances should not be mixed in the collection system. Treatment methods should be established based on the effluent characteristics.

Smaller vessels used for harbor services should be equipped with recycling or chemical toilets, or holding tanks, that could be discharged to shore facilities.

10.4.2.2 Rain Water Harvesting Deendayal Port Trust is already having the rain water harvesting pond in Gopalpuri colony. However, there is no rain water harvesting system proposed in the proposed integrated facilities as there is scanty rain in the Kutch area.

10.5 Waste Management Non‐hazardous solid waste generated at construction and decommissioning sites includes excess fill materials from grading and excavation activities, scrap wood and metals, and small concrete spills. Other non‐hazardous solid wastes include office, kitchen, and dormitory wastes when these types of operations are part of construction project activities. Hazardous solid waste includes contaminated soils, which could potentially be encountered on‐site due to previous land use activities, or small amounts of machinery maintenance materials, such as oily rags, used oil filters, and used oil, as well as spill cleanup materials from oil and fuel spills.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 218

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

The type and amount of solid and liquid wastes associated with port operations may vary significantly depending on the nature of port operations and the types of ships serviced. Wastes originating at the port may include inert solid waste from cargo packaging and from administrative offices, as well as hazardous or potentially hazardous waste associated with vehicle maintenance operations (e.g. used lubricating oils and engine degreasing solvents). Wastes originating from ships may include oily sludge, inert materials such as food packaging, and food waste.

Waste materials generated on vessels and at the port include plastic, paper, glass, metal, and food wastes. Hazardous wastes generated on vessels and by maintenance activities include waste oil, batteries, paints, solvents, and pesticides. Ports typically manage collection and storage of hazardous and nonhazardous wastes, with transportation, treatment, and disposal managed by third parties. The port shall provide reception facilities for waste such as containers, general‐use skips, and bins.

Specific pollution prevention, minimization, and control recommendations for ship‐ generated wastes received by port facilities are outlined below.

10.5.1 General Waste Reception Facilities Port facilities should provide adequate means of receiving and managing effluents and wastes to meet its own needs and those of visiting ships and for which the port is designed to service. The provision of waste reception facilities should be developed in coordination with the local governments according to their commitments to the MARPOL Convention as port states. Port waste reception facilities should provide adequate capacity to receive port and ship generated wastes including appropriately sized and located receptacles, and the capacity to deal with seasonal fluctuations.

10.5.2 Ship Wastes Management  Information should be available for ship captains to identify solid waste reception facilities and acceptable handling procedures at ports;

 Discharge of solid waste from vessels should be prohibited while in port in accordance with MARPOL and national regulations. More stringent restrictions should be considered, if necessary, to protect the port environment;

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 219

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 A collection and disposal system should be developed for ship‐generated garbage for ships alongside and at anchor, consistent with the International Maritime Organization (IMO) Comprehensive Manual on Port Reception Facilities. Closable skips should be provided at the berths and towed or self‐propelled barges fitted with skips should be used to collect garbage from ships at anchor;

 Food waste from ships delivered to the port should be managed according to applicable local regulations intended to protect human and animal health. Local requirements may include rendering, incineration, or land filling of food waste and mixed waste containing food waste.

10.6 Dredged Materials Management Construction and maintenance dredging, and dredge spoil disposal, may impact habitats and pose a significant hazard to human health and the environment, particularly if the sediments are contaminated by historical deposition and accumulation of hazardous materials, whether due to on‐site or off‐site activities.

The following recommendations should be adopted to avoid, minimize, or control impacts from dredged materials, as part of a Marine Dredging Management Plan and Total initial capital of dredge material will be 13,56,000 m3 generated and maintenance 2,71,200 m3/Year and it will be disposed at Tuna-Tekra (Latitude: 22°53'18"N & Longitude: 70° 06'.20"E).

10.6.1 Dredge Planning Activities Dredging should only be conducted if necessary, and based on an assessment of the need for new infrastructure components or port navigation access to create or maintain safe navigations channels, or, for environmental reasons, to remove contaminated materials to reduce risks to human health and the environment; Prior to initiation of dredging activities, materials should be evaluated for their physical, chemical, biological, and engineering properties to inform the evaluation of dredge materials reuse or disposal options.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 220

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 10.6.2 Dredging  Excavation and dredging methods should be selected to minimize suspension of sediments, minimize destruction of benthic habitat, increase the accuracy of the operation, and maintain the density of the dredge material, especially if the dredge material includes contaminated areas. There are several dredging methods which are commonly used depending on the depth of the sediments and environmental concerns such as the need to minimize sediment suspension and increase dredging accuracy.

 Areas sensitive for marine life such as feeding, breeding, calving, and spawning areas should be identified. Where sensitive species are present, dredging (and blasting) should be conducted in a manner so as to avoid fish migration or spawning seasons, routes, and grounds;

 Use techniques (e.g. silt curtains), to minimize adverse impacts on aquatic life from the re‐suspension of sediments;

 Inspection and monitoring of dredging activities should be conducted to evaluate the effectiveness of impact prevention strategies, and re‐adjusted where necessary.

10.6.3 Disposal of Dredged Material  Dredged material should be analyzed in order to select appropriate disposal options (e.g. land reclamation, open water discharge, or contained disposal).

 Beneficial reuse of uncontaminated, dredged material should be considered (e.g. for wetland creation or enhancements, habitat restoration, or creation of public access / recreational facilities);

 Use of lateral containment in open water disposal should be considered. Use of borrow pits or dikes reduces the spread of sediments and effects on benthic organisms;

 Use of cap containment sediments with clean materials should be considered. Level bottom capping or a combination of borrows pits / dikes with capping reduce the underwater spread of contaminated material;

 Confined disposal facilities should be used, either near shore or upland, when open water disposal is not feasible or desirable. If dredge spoil is contaminated, confined

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 221

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

disposal facilities should include liners or other hydraulic containment design options to prevent leaching of contaminants into adjacent surface or groundwater bodies. Treatment of dewatering liquids (e.g. metals and persistent organic pollutants) may be required prior to discharge.

10.7 Hazardous Materials and Oil Management Hazardous materials at ports include large volumes of hazardous cargo, as well as oil and fuels and hazardous substances used in port activities including vessel, vehicle, and grounds maintenance. Spills may occur due to accidents (e.g. collisions, groundings, fires), equipment failure (e.g. pipelines, hoses, flanges), or improper operating procedures during cargo transfer or fueling, and involve crude oils, refined products or residual fuels, liquid substances, and substances in packaged form. Additionally, equipment maintenance may involve the use of potentially hazardous materials including solvents and lubricants. Recommended prevention, minimization, and control techniques specific to port facilities include the following.

10.7.1 Spill Prevention Oil and chemical‐handling facilities should be located with consideration of natural drainage systems and environmentally‐sensitive areas (e.g. mangroves, corals, aquaculture projects, and beaches, providing physical separation / distance whenever possible);

Ports should include secondary containment for above ground liquid storage tanks and tanker truck loading and unloading areas;

Hazardous materials storage and handling facilities should be constructed away from active traffic and protect storage areas from vehicle accidents. Covered and ventilated temporary storage areas should be provided for leaking hazardous cargo and designed to facilitate collection of leaks and spills (e.g. slope surface to allow capture of spills, use valved catch basins that allow spills and releases to enter a dead‐end sump from which spilled materials could be pumped);

Fuel dispensing equipment should be equipped with “breakaway” hose connections that provide emergency shutdown of flow should the fueling connection be broken by

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 222

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

movement. Fueling equipment should be inspected daily to ensure all components are in satisfactory condition.

10.7.2 Spill Control Planning  Deendayal Port Trust should prepare a spill prevention, control, and countermeasure plan consistent with the IMO Manual on Oil Pollution Section II ‐ Contingency Planning, which:

 Identifies areas within the port that are sensitive to spills and releases of hazardous materials and locations of any water intakes (e.g. cooling water for shore‐based industries);

 Outlines responsibility for managing spills, releases, and other pollution incidents, including reporting and alerting mechanisms to ensure any spillage is reported promptly to the Port Authorities and personnel are informed to take appropriate action;

 Includes provision of specialized oil spill response equipment (e.g. containment booms, recovery devices, and oil recovery or dispersant application vessels);

 Includes training of response personnel in deployment of equipment, and testing of the contingency plan through regular reporting and alerting exercises and less frequent deployment of the specialized spill response equipment;

 Include training of response personnel in animal welfare techniques related to spills.

10.7.3 Goods Handling Deendayal Port Trust should implement systems for the proper screening, acceptance, and transport of dangerous cargo based on local and international standards and regulations, including the following elements:

 Establishment of segregated and access‐controlled storage areas with the means to collect or contain accidental releases;

 Requesting Goods Manifests for hazardous materials whether in transit, loading or unloading to and from ships, including proper shipping (technical) name, hazard class, United Nations number, and packing group;

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 223

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 Training staff in relevant aspects of dangerous goods management including screening and acceptance of dangerous goods at the port;

 Emergency response procedures specific to dangerous goods.

10.8 Biodiversity Management Plan Construction and maintenance dredging, disposal of dredge spoil, construction of piers, wharves, breakwaters, and other water‐side structures, and erosion may lead to short and long‐ term impacts on aquatic and shoreline habitats. Direct impacts may include the physical removal or covering of sea floor, shore, or land‐side habitat, in addition to changes to water flow patterns and related sedimentation rates and patterns, while indirect impacts may result from changes to water quality from sediment suspension or discharges of storm water and wastewater. Additionally, the discharge of ballast water and sediment from ships during port operations may result in the introduction of invasive aquatic species. Recommended measures to prevent and control these impacts include the following:

 Potential impacts to shoreline vegetation, wetlands, coral reefs, fisheries, bird life, and other sensitive aquatic and near‐shore habitats during port construction and operation should be fully assessed with special consideration for areas of high biodiversity value or those required for the survival of critically endangered or endangered flora and fauna. The depth of the port should be considered at the design phase in terms of habitat destruction and the amount and nature of dredging required. Additionally, specific prevention and mitigation measures should be adopted for blasting activities which could cause considerable impacts to marine organisms and their habitats during construction;

 Port facilities that conduct cleaning or repair of ballast tanks should be equipped with adequate reception facilities able to prevent the introduction of invasive species. Treatment technologies might include those applied to other effluents accepted in port reception facilities or more specific methods such as filtration, sterilization (e.g. using ozone or ultraviolet light), or chemical treatment (e.g. biocides).

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 224

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

 Deendayal Port Trust should provide ship operators with details on the port, state, or port authority ballast water management requirements, including the availability, location, and capacities of reception facilities, as well as with information on local areas and situations where ballast water uptake should be avoided.

10.9 Greenbelt Development Green vegetal cover is not only pleasing to the eyes but also beneficial in many ways such as conservation of bio-diversity, retention of soil moisture, recharge of groundwater and moderation of micro-climate. Another important role of vegetal cover is containment of pollution. Besides acting as a carbon sink, certain species of plants can even absorb the

atmospheric CO2. Raising of green belts with right types of species can serve as a useful buffer to contain the menace of pollution from different sources in the project area. Therefore, a “Green Belt Development Plan” by using the native species has been proposed for the project area.

Objectives Objectives of the proposed green belt are as follows:

 Improvement of bio-diversity of the area  Improvement of aesthetics of the site  Mitigation of air pollution  Attenuation of noise generated from operation of different machines and movement of vehicles Need of the greenbelt plan Standard ToR point no. 26 prescribed for the project “Development of Remaining three Integrated facilities (Stage-I) within the existing Deendayal Port Trust Limit at Kutch district of Gujarat. (1. Development of Container Terminal at Tuna off Terka on BOT basis; 2. Construction of Port Craft Jetty & shifting of SNA Section at Deendayal Port Trust; 3. Railway Line from NH-8A to Tuna Port- 11.00 km) clearly indicate “Examine the details of afforestation measures indicating land and financial outlay. Landscape plan, green belts and open spaces may be described. A thick green belt should be planned all around the nearest settlement to mitigate noise and vibrations. The identification of species/ plants should be made

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 225

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla based on the botanical studies, and Approved ToR point no. XXIV prescribed by the committee dated 06.06.2017 indicating “Layout plan of existing and proposed Greenbelt”. Development of greenbelt The green belt plantation is proposed on the area of 31.35 Ha which is 33% area of the project. The greenbelt shall be provided along approach roads, nearby project sites and near settlements. The greenbelt shall be designed in three tier system or as per availability of space. The three tier system shall be followed so that it could provide complete canopy coverage and form a complete foliage cover from ground flora up to top canopy and could provide considerable attenuation for noise and air pollution impact. In the three tier system, first inner rows shall have flowering shrubs and herbs. Small trees shall be planted in the middle rows followed by taller trees in the last row. Adequate space shall be kept between the trees, small trees and shrubs. The selection of plant species for greenbelt development based on “Guidelines for Developing Green Belts, PROBES/75/1999-2000” for differenent purposes are as follows:

For absorption of gases released from movement of vehicles:

 Tolerance towards pollutants,  Longer duration of foliage,  Freely exposed foliage, through  Adequate height of crown,  Openness of foliage in canopy  Big leaves with long and broad laminar surfaces  Large number of stomatal apertures  Well exposed stomata

For removal of suspended particulate matter:

 Height and spread of crown  Leaves supported on firm petioles  Abundance of surface on bark and foliage through  Roughness of bark  Epidermal outgrowth on petioles

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 226

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla  Abundance of axiliary hairs  Hairs or scales on laminar surfaces and  Protected stomata

Plantation along road side, and around nearest settlements:

Greenbelt will help in mitigating impacts of vehicular pollution and Noise and Vibration. Vehicles are ground level mobile sources of gaseous and particulate matter pollutants. Species selected for plantation along road sides shall therefore be capable of absorption of gaseous as well as particulte matter pollutants and mitigating of impacts of noise and vibrartion due to operations around nearest selttlements. For green belt development CPCB Guideline recommended intermixing of trees and shrubs should be in such a manner that the vertical foliage area density remains almost uniform.

Bio-climatic zone

The DPT Stage-II facilities are located in Kutch District of Gujarat State. As per bio-climatic zones of India (CPCB Guidelines, 1999-2000), the site falls within “Gujarat Plains and Hill regions”, and sub-zone “North-West Arid” with Arid to Semi-arid climate.

Selection of species

The selection of species for the proposed green belt is based on the recommendations under the CPCB guidelines for the applicable bio-climatic sub-zone. While selecting the species from the recommended list, quick growing species with longer duration of foliage and tolerant to different pollutants, considering the usage by local people, have been preferred. With these considerations, the following species have been selected for green belt development.

A key component of achieving energy conservation would be the development of an Energy Management Action Plan. This plan should be included as part of the Construction and Operational EMPs. The Energy Management Action Plan will be consistent with the energy conservation measures during both construction and operation phase.

10.11.1 Energy Conservation during Construction Phase Recommended measures to conserve energy during construction phase include the following:

 Efficient work scheduling and methods that minimize equipment idle time and double handling of material;

 Throttling down and switching off construction equipment when not in use;

 Switching off truck engines while they are waiting to access the site and while they are waiting to be loaded and unloaded;

 Switching off site office equipment and lights and using optimum lighting intensity for security and safety purposes;

 Careful design of temporary roads to reduce transportation distances;

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 235

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

Chapter 11. Summary and Conclusion

11.1 General Many states of India are having a well defined maritime policy. Gujarat is one of them and at present the support of the Government for the port sector is significant. It is well known that Gujarat has the longest coastline in the country, and has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world.

11.2 Location and Inception of Deendayal Port Trust Kandla Port is situated at Latitude 23º 01’ N and Longitude 70º 13’ E on the shores of the Kandla Creek. It is in the district of Kutch and is located on the west bank of Kandla creek which runs into the Gulf of Kutch at a distance of 90 nautical miles from the Arabian Sea. The width of the channel varies from 200 meters to 1,000 meters. The contour depth along the shipping channel is around 10 meters. The total length of the Kandla Port approach Channel is around 23 kms.

Navigation is permitted during the day and night according to the draft of the ship. Pilots board the ships at Outer tuna buoy (OTB) at least two hours before high tide. Dredging is undertaken throughout the year. Ships with 13 meters draft can also be brought in during the tidal window.

The port is operational throughout the year as it is an all weather port. There are no adverse wave effects as it is a sheltered port situated in a creek. There is scanty rainfall in this region which is one of the main reasons that the port can handle food grains. The port is well connected with the hinterland by broad gauge railway system and National Highway No. 8‐A. The port can handle dry bulk, break bulk, liquid bulk and container cargo. Kandla is the closest major port to the Middle East and Europe. Kandla is also en‐ route port for ships calling at Karachi, Pakistan’s only major port handling its seaborne cargo.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 242

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 11.2.1 Port Profile  Strategic location closest to the northern hinterland  Cost effective port  Vast amount of land available for future expansion  All weather port operational round the year  Large hinterland of over one million square kilometers  Dry port suitable for handling food grains  A Special Economic Zone (KASEZ) in the vicinity to attract trade  Large storage facilities for liquid cargo – POL products, Edible Oil and Chemicals

11.3 Utility requirement

11.3.1 Water Requirement Water will be received from high service reservoir near Bhachau and Narmada Canal through 18” pipeline of Gujarat Water supply and Sewerage Board. 5.0 KLD water will be used for various purposes during the project.

11.3.2 Power Requirement The port receives Bulk power supply from PGVCL through seven 11 KV sub stations. Besides, the port has two diesel generating sets to meet with emergency needs. A scheme is presently under implementation to augment the power supply to 66 KV and to provide necessary infrastructure for receiving Bulk supply, stepping down and distribution.

Uninterrupted good quality estimated power requirement of 900MW is expected to be supplied in the SEZ area by the Gujarat Government. However, master plan caters for setting up a dedicated power back up from an independent power producer (IPP) at a later stage, if required.

11.3.3 Manpower There will be temporary influx of people to the area as 200 labours/day and other people who will be involved directly and indirectly during the construction of facilities.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 243

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla 11.4 Regulatory framework and need of the EIA

The proposed project will attract CRZ Notification on Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) 2011 provides for declaring the Coastal Stretches as Coastal Regulation Zone (CRZ) and regulating activities i.e. imposing restrictions on industries, operations and processes in the CRZ. CRZ is defined as all coastal stretches of seas, bays, estuaries, creeks, rivers and back waters which are influenced by tidal action (in the land ward side) up to 500 m from the High Tide Line (HTL) and the land between the High Tide Level and Low Tide Line (LTL). The HTL means the line on the land up to, which the highest water line reaches during spring tide (the HTL shall be demarcated uniformly in all parts of the country by the Ministry of Environment and Forest, New Delhi recognized authorities). The notification provides for construction of ports, harbour, jetties, wharves, quays, and spillways, under the following regulations:

 Clearance is required for any activity, within the Coastal Regulation Zone only if it requires water front and foreshore facilities.

 The clearance is required from the Ministry of Environment and Forests, GOI for construction of ports and harbors and light houses and for construction activities such as jetties, wharves, quays and spillways.

The area of study covers a radius of 10 km, around the proposed site at Kandla.

11.5 Baseline Data The baseline data for one month has been collected from the project sites as per the Minutes of meeting dated 01/05/2017 & Terms of Reference granted by Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi. The summary of the results are as follows:

11.5.1 Air Environment

3 residential, rural and other area. The minimum value of SOx is 11 µg/m at Jetty office,Nirman Bhavan & Tuna Port.

Nitrogen dioxide (NO2):

3 The maximum value for NO2 is observed, as 34 µg/m at Tuna port station while 24 hours applicable limit is of 80 µg/m3 for Industrial, residential, rural and other area. The

3 minimum value of NO2 is 12.0 µg/m at Oil Jetty & Jetty Office.

Carbon Monoxide (CO): The maximum value for CO is observed, as 486 µg/m3 at DPT Colony and the minimum value of CO is 305 µg/m3 at Jetty Office.

11.5.2 Noise Environment The noise data compiled as per the monitoring performed during study period. The results are as follows: Residential Area Residential Area: In residential area, DPT colony noise level is 48.3 dB(A) during day time and 42.5 dB(A) recorded during night time in Pre‐Monsoon during

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 245

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

the study period Day time and night time noise level within the residential area are well within the prescribed limit. Commercial Area: In commercial area hourly noise levels ranges in non‐Monsoon season (01 Feb 2018 to 28 Feb 2018) from 48.3 to 59.1 dB (A) during daytime and 42.5 to 51.4 dB (A) during night time.

11.5.3 Water Environment Water samples were taken from area of Deendayal Port Trust and one sample is from Gujarat water supply .The maximum and minimum range of parameters observed during the one month (01 Feb 2018 to 28 Feb 2018) for samples taken from Deendayal Port Trust has been discussed below: Temperature (oC) Surface water temperature ranged from 30.1oC. to 30.9oC The bottom water temperature, as expected was found to be slightly lower than surface water temperature in all the stations. The bottom water temperature ranged between 29.7 to 30.5 oC at various sampling stations.

PH The pH values range from 8.17 to 8.41 at all the stations, which indicate that the marine water is marginally alkaline within the study area.

Salinity The salinity values varied from 37.6 to 43.7 % in surface and 36.3 to 42.5 % bottom water samples at various sampling locations. The runoff from nearby salt pans is responsible for the high salinity in the marine water.

Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Dissolved Oxygen content of the surface water at different stations ranged from 4.4 to 6.2 mg/l during the sampling period. As seen from the results the DO content of surface water is slightly higher than the bottom waters (4.6‐6.3). This may be due to the consumption of oxygen due to organic matter and respiration by the benthic species.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 246

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

Constant mixing results in the absence of any significant variation in salinity among the sites or between surface and bottom water samples.

Electrical Conductivity (EC) Electrical Conductivity (EC) varies from 56.1 to 59.2 mS/cm at various surface water sampling stations. Likewise EC in the bottom water samples ranged from 55.7 to 58.7 mS/cm. No significant variation in EC levels in surface and bottom water samples was observed.

Calcium The calcium concentration ranged from 370 to 480 mg/l at various sampling location covered as part of the study.

Magnesium The Magnesium concentration ranged from 1100 to 1500 mg/l at various sampling location covered as part of the study.

Sodium The sodium concentration ranged from 11900 to 12800 mg/l at various sampling location covered as part of the study.

Chloride The concentration of chloride ranged from 20100 to 24200 mg/l at various sampling location covered as part of the study. No significant variation in surface and bottom water samples was observed, which could be attributed to mixing due to tidal action.

Nitrate The concentration of nitrate ranged from 0.087 to 0.123 mg/l at various sampling location covered as part of the study. No significant variation in surface and bottom water samples was observed.

11.5.5 Biological Environment

Biological environment of any area constitutes all living beings of that area; it is an integral part of the environment. Hence, any change in the surrounding environment could cause loss of species or decrease in biodiversity of the area. Therefore, the present study is proposed to assess the impact of the proposed projects on biological environment of the project site and surrounding area within 10km radius. Accordingly, mitigation measures are evolved to sustain the biological diversity. In general biological environment is represented by flora and fauna. Flora constitutes the herbs, shrubs and trees and fauna constitutes the mammals, birds, reptiles, arthropods, amphibians, fishes etc.

The observations made in the flora of the study area reveal that the diversity and affinities of the flora of the region has approximately 71 taxa of flowering plants

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 248

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla belonging to 28 families. According to the growth habit these species are distributed as: 12 tree species (17%), 10 shrub species (14%), 47 herb species (66%), and 02 mangroves species (3%). The marine vegetation is highly varied, which includes sand dune vegetation, mangroves, sea grasses, macrophytes and phytoplankton. The dominant species of sand dune flora are Euphorbia caudicifolia, E. nerifolia, Aloevera sp, Ephedra foliata, Urochodra setulosa, Sporobolus maderaspatenus, Eragrostis unioloides, Calotropis procera, Fimbristylis sp, Indigofera sp and Ipomoea pescaprae. The common sea grasses found growing on the mud flats are Halophila ovata and H.beccarii. The information was also collected from secondary sources for authentication of the data from Deputy Conservator of Forests, Bhuj and Zoological Survey of India, Jodhpur.

Eleven species of mammals were recorded in the study area of DPT. Through direct sighting 4 species were recorded, 07 species were recorded as per indirect evidence and through secondary sources from Forest and Wildlife Department and local villagers. All the species of mammals have been listed in various schedules of the Indian Wildlife (Protection) Act 1972 but ‘commonly’ occur in the region. Six species of reptiles were reported from the area. Out of these two were of under the lizard category and rests 04 were snakes. Two species of amphibians were also recorded. From the study of marine aquatic environment eleven species of mollusca, seven species of shrimps (Prawn) Arthopodes and seven species of annelids were recorded.

The project influenced area consists of sparse and patchy vegetation which is general in occurrence. No herb, shrub and tree species is falling in the list of Rare/threatened/endangered of Red Data Book of Indian Plants and IUCN. No rare or threatened species of fauna are falling in the project influenced area.

11.6 Impact Predictions

The task of determination & assessment of Impacts of proposed project has been carried out based on the study of project activities, baseline environment status of area, ecological status and legal frameworks. The impacts of the proposed project have been studied for construction & operation phases. There is no activity found accountable to create any major adverse impact on environmental quality.

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 249

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla

11.7 Environment Management Plan Deendayal Port Trust is committed to continuously improve the environment in and around port area in line with National and International norms. The Integrated Environmental Management Plan for the integrated facilities within Kandla Port area proposes to integrate the baseline conditions, impacts likely to occur, and the supportive and assimilative capacity of the system. The most reliable way to achieve the above objective is to incorporate the management plan into the overall planning and implementation of the projects.

11.8 Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan The proposed projects are basically for multiple cargo jetty use for import & export of materials. Hence it has been noticed that many physical hazards/risk will occur during the operation of the proposed project. Considering the probable hazards & risk for the operational process and allied activities, risk assessment has been carried out and the details for control & prevention of risk have been formulated as DMP report. Disaster Management Plan including the onsite & offsite emergency plan has also been prepared and included in the impacts assessment study for the proposed project. Necessary safety procedures and other allied information for occupation health & safety has been incorporated in the Risk Assessment & Disaster Management Plan.

11.9 Conclusions The proposed projects will be in existing Kandla Port area which is already in use for Port‐ operations, hence the issue of land use conversion or change in land cover does not arise. As mentioned in the EIA study report, it has been noticed that the baseline environment is found considerably good and after proposed projects there would not be any visual difference in the baseline conditions. Almost all the impacts of the proposed project operations would be restricted to the premises only. The Coastal Zone Regulatory Authority of Gujarat State has granted CRZ recommendations to these 3 proposed facilities considering negligible environmental impacts, proposed management plan and utility of these facilities in National interest. Proponent is committed to effectively implement the Mangrove Development,

Mantec Consultants Pvt. Ltd. Page 250

Environment Impact Assessment Report for Developing 03 Integrated Facilities within existing Kandla Port at Kandla Protection & Management plan for control of impacts on mangrove habitat. There would not be any considerable negative impacts on the environment due to the proposed projects which will provide major socio economic benefits for the region.

Synopsis

Kandla Port Authorities proposed to construct a T-shapped jetty outside Kandla creek to meet the requirement of deep drafted vessel west of Outter Tuna Buoy (OTB) in open gulf. Considering the prevailing flow conditions and requirement of the navigation and berthing operations, CWPRS modified the layout supplied by KPT. The layout was tested in exiting Kandla Estuary Model (scale 1:1000 H ; 1:100 V) at CWPRS by reproducing the localized pit around the jetty with -16.2 m in the front and -15.1 on the back side with turning circles of 600 m diameter on either edge with an approach channel on the western edge having a bottom width of 200 m and a side slope 1:5. The berthing face of the jetty was aligned at an angle of 240o / 60o N considering both the flood and ebb flows in the proposed region. The capital dredging was worked out to be 6.75 Mm3 for the basin and 1.10 Mm3 for the channel. The annual maintenance dredging was estimated to be 0.9 Mm3 for the basin and 0.1 Mm3 for the channel. The recommendations were agreed upon by the Port authorities.
