A. Details of Soil quality and slope
Generally, soil types found in Pune district are black, copper, red and paddy soil. Soil blends of variable proportions are modified by sand, gravel, lime salts and other ingredients. Soil erosion is acute in these soils because of the sloppy nature of lands mostly unprotected by natural vegetation due to over grazing.
Samples were collected within a radius of 10 Km in the study area. Soil samples collected and were analyzed for pH, moisture content, water holding capacity, organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous, - -- Magnesium as Mg, Chlorides as Cl , Sulphates as SO4 using standard methods of Association of Official Agricultural Chemist. Results of analysis are presented in Annexure 13.
Land at the project site is tableland and has no major slopes.

5.1. Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions)
As this will be an Info Tech park, air pollution is not expected to be a major concern. There will not be notable increase in pollution therefore dispersion model calculations are not done. But the data on Ambient Air Quality have been collected during the study period.
Air quality is represented generally in terms of concentration of Suspended Particulate Matter, Sulphur Dioxide and Oxides of Nitrogen and Carbon
------45
Form I & IA for Expansion of Rajiv Gandhi InfoTech Park Phase II Hinjewadi Pune – 411057.
Monoxide, lead and Ammonia. A wide variety of sources contribute SPM in ambient air. Some of them are construction activities, vehicular emissions, industrial process emissions, dust storms etc.
It is generally observed that SPM levels are higher in dry weather i.e. during summer and winter seasons. Dust storms generally do not occur. Hence SPM concentrations are within permissible limit.
It is necessary to monitor the ambient air quality in terms of above said parameters to establish the background air quality scenario and assess the impact of construction on the scenario before undertaking any activity.
Ambient air motoring was carried out of 4 stations within core and buffer zones of the proposed site during December 2007 to February 2008 to representing winter season.
In view of the revision of national Ambient Air Quality Standards by Central Pollution Control Board ambient air quality stations were identified and monitored with high volume sampling apparatus. The sampling locations are project site, Hinjewadi, Punawale & Bhoirwadi.
The plant site was chosen as the station located near the center of the project area and sampling stations were located in buffer zone situated at an angle of 30 degrees with respect to the central station.
------46
Form I & IA for Expansion of Rajiv Gandhi InfoTech Park Phase II Hinjewadi Pune – 411057.
At each station, ambient air samples monitored for 24-hour duration were collected at a frequency of every day and analyzed for Suspended Particulate Matter, Sulphur dioxide and Oxides of Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Lead and Ammonia.
(Refer Annex 13: Baseline Status of Air Quality)
Concentrations of Suspended Particulate Matter monitored were in the range of 120 to 130 as against Maharashtra Pollution Control Board standards of 200 g /cu.m. Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) were in the range of 75 to 90 g /cu.m. SPM RSPM SO2 NOX CO Location µg/m3 µg/m3 µg/m3 µg/m3 ppm

5.2. What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.
During construction phase, Suspended Particulate Matter, dust, will be the main pollutant, which could be generated from site development activities.
Concentration of SO2, NO2 and CO may rise a little due to traffic. Proper upkeep and maintenance of vehicles, sprinkling of water on roads and construction site and providing sufficient vegetation all around the plant site are some of the measures that would reduce the impact during construction phase.
It is generally observed that SPM levels are higher in dry weather i.e. during summer and winter seasons. Pollutant load of the atmosphere is generally low during monsoon as the gaseous pollutants tend to dissolve and particulate pollutants get adsorbed forming aerosols.
Fog formation aggravates the problem as rate of dispersion of pollutants reduces. High wind velocity is helpful for dispersion of pollutants. Higher temperature and pressure in the troposphere is helpful for better dispersion of pollutants. In general, effective dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere depends primarily on the degree of stability of the atmosphere and on its turbulent structure.
