monitored at 7 locations. Ambient air quality parameters namely PM2.5, PM10, Nitrogen dioxide, Sulphur dioxide and Carbon monoxide, Ozone, Pb, NH3, Benzene, Benzo alpha pyrene, Arsenic, Nickel will be analyzed as per Indian Standards 5182 method.

3.3 Noise Environment

Noise Level Study

The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to establish the baseline noise levels and assess the impact of the total noise generated by the operation of the activities around it. The environmental impact of noise can have several effects varying from Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL) to annoyance depending on loudness of noise. The environmental impact assessment of noise from construction activity, vehicular traffic can be undertaken by taking into consideration various factors like potential damage to hearing, physiological responses, and annoyance and general community responses. Noise survey should be conducted in the study area while covering 10 km distance from the project site. Noise monitoring will be undertaken for 24 hours at each location. Using hand held instruments sound Pressure Level (SPL) measurements and the levels were measured at all locations, recording for 5 minutes at each hour was taken for 24 hours continuously. The day noise levels have been monitored during 6 am to 10 pm and night levels during 10 pm to 6 am at all the sampling locations covered in the study area. The results will be produced as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules 2000 – Ambient Air Quality Standards in respect of Noise.

Water is a vital commodity for the survival of human beings, animals, and vegetation and also for the proper balance of the eco-system. As such any adverse impact on water quality due to the proposed construction will have serious consequences on the environment. Hence it is essential to study the water quality, water table, Rain water harvesting of the regime likely to b influenced by the project and allied activities as per TOR and MoEF, EIA Manual. The water quality of the study will be covered in EIA report.

Sampling and Analysis

Water sampling is to determine the existing quality of ground water around the project area and also to assess the impact from the proposed project. Sampling will be done by following standard guidelines for physical, chemical and bacteriological parameters. Analysis will be carried out by following methods prescribed in “Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater (21st Edition)”. Samples will be collected from surface water body and bore wells in the study area. The site selection was done taking into account the drainage pattern and locations prone to water contamination. seven water sampling locations will be selected around 10 km distance from the project site.

3.5 Rain Water Harvesting

Keeping in mind the importance of water and it scarcity it is proposed to conserve water by rainwater harvesting by which the subsoil water condition / moisture content is maintained / improved to a great extent. Also it is proposed to harvest rainwater from the terrace area by collecting the same in a rainwater collection sump of suitable capacity and re-used for domestic purposes with the provision of a filtration unit. And the rainwater collected from open paved and landscape area will be collected in the storm water drain which is connected to Rainwater recharging pit; will be included in EIA report in detail.

Details of Recharge Trenches: Trench maintained all along the boundary, the depth of the trenches will be around 1.00 m. It is planned to remove the entire impervious layer to facilitate rain water recharge. The width of the proposed trenches is 1.5 m. Pebbles of different size will be provided in an ascending order in the tank and a layer of sand will be provided on top of the filter media. The rain water flowing through the open land, paved area and green belt area will be used for recharging to ground water through the above said trenches.

Green Belt Development

It is proposed to have tree plantation along the periphery of the site and also to develop lawn and greenery inside the project area. The vegetation for the green belt will be selected from the native species adapted to the local environment. About 1850 Sqm of green area has been provided.

Landscaping has been taken care of in view of the environment and aesthetics of the surrounding areas. Stress has been laid on providing ample green areas in close conjugation to the hard areas in a manner, that the overall harmony and ambience is maintained. Landscaping takes into account the various aspects of the architectural design. Trees are proposed to be planted to form an integral part of the landscape plantation and their selection is based on their ability to provide shade, flowers and fragrance apart from their high-yielding growth pattern. The addition of shrubs, hedges and ground cover will add to the aesthetics and softness to the hard building surfaces.

6.1 Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan

Risks in the complex will be due to natural calamities like earthquake, flooding and others such as fire and accidental hazards. All precautions will be taken to control these risks and a well-planned Disaster Management Plan will be covered in the EIA report.

6.2 Natural Resource conservation

Realizing the need for an eco-friendly environment has proposed to do the following natural resource conservation techniques. To minimize water demand the project has Water balance chart, sewage treatment plant, plan for treated water usage, dual pipe line rain water harvesting, regular air; water quality monitoring will be explained in EIA report of the project.

6.3 Assessment of Ecological damage and remediation plan

A separate assessment of the ecological damage will be done based on the specific terms of reference issued by the Expert Appraisal Certificate. Further, the remediation plan and natural and community resource augmentation plan will be prepared.

7.0 PROJECT BENEFITS

During construction phase local people were benefited by the construction type of employment. The project is located in the development zone. It will act as a pioneer for other development.

8.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

Environmental Management plan is a vital process of any management plan of the development project. This helps in signaling the potential problems that resulting from the proposed project and will allow for prompt implementation of effective corrective measures. The environmental monitoring will be carried out for the construction and operational phases.

12.0 SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

The proposed project is a development of Residential building.

 There will be minimum negative impact on Air, Noise and Water Environment.  Treated Waste Water will be reused for gardening, flushing.  Rain Water harvesting system has been provided.  Organic waste converter for solid waste management is proposed.  There will be positive Impact on Social conditions in and around the site.  The Project will not result in any adverse impact to the Environment.  The marginal impact of setting up the Development in the proposed location will be fully mitigated by the Environment Management Plans. (EMP)  The proposed project will improve the quality of living being offered through better environmental aspects like large landscaped areas & better amenities.

All the above mentioned details of practices as provided in this ToR will be studied in detail during the EIA report.
