Details of Environmental Monitoring

2.0 INTRODUCTION

M/s Haamid Real Estates Pvt. Ltd. was granted its Environmental Clearance on SEIAA/HR/2013/627 dated 04.09.2013, for Group Housing Project, Village- Palra, Sector-70A, Gurgaon, Haryana.

2.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING

2.1.1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Station

Ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out to assess the ambient air quality of the project site. This will enable to have understanding about air quality and the changes in the air environment in the study area with respect to the condition prevailing. The location of the ambient air quality monitoring station is given in Table 2.1.

1. AAQ Near Main Gate Area

AAQ1-: Near Main Gate Area The sampler was placed near main gate of building and was free from any obstructions. Surroundings of the sampling site represent residential environmental setting.

2.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology

Monitoring was conducted in respect of the following parameters:  Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5)  Particulate Matter 10 (PM 10)

 Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

 Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)  Carbon Monoxide (CO)

The duration of sampling of PM 2.5, PM10, SO2 and NOx were 24 hourly continuous monitoring this is to allow a comparison with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. This is to allow a comparison with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards.

No. – SEIAA/HR/2013/627 at dated 04th Sep, 2013) Conditions Page 14 of 21

The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and IS: 5182. The techniques used for ambient air quality monitoring and minimum detectable levels are given in Table 2.2.

Fine Particulate Sampler instruments have been used for monitoring Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5 i.e. <2.5 microns), and Respirable Dust Sampler was used for sampling Respirable fraction (<10 microns), gaseous pollutants like SO2, and NOx. Bladder and Aspirator bags were used for collection Carbon monoxide samples. Gas Chromatography techniques have been used for the estimation of CO.

3 3 PM10 and PM 2.5 levels at the project site are within the permissible limit of 100 μg/m and 60 μg/m respectively (for residential, rural and other areas as stipulated in the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards). SO2, NO2 and CO was observed within the corresponding stipulated limits (Limit for SO 2 and 3 3 NO2: 80 g/m and limit for CO: 4.0 mg/m ) at all monitoring location. Ambient air quality parameters has been pictorially shown in Figure 2.1.

2.2 AMBIENT NOISE MONITORING

2.2.1 Ambient Noise Monitoring Location

The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to assess the present ambient noise levels in near main gate due to various construction allied activities and increased vehicular movement. A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area. Ambient noise monitoring was conducted at 1 locations at the boundary of the project near main gate as given in Table 2.4.

2.2.2 Methodology of Noise Monitoring

Noise levels were measured using sound level meter.

Noise level monitoring was carried out continuously for 24-hours with one hour interval starting at 06:00 hrs to 06:00 hrs next day.. During each hour Leq were directly computed by the instrument based on the sound pressure levels. Monitoring was carried out at ‘A’ response and fast mode. 2.2.3 Ambient Noise Monitoring Results

The ambient noise monitoring results is summarized in Table 2.5. The noise levels are graphically presented in Figure 2.2.

2.3 DRINKING WATER QUALITY MONITORING

2.3.1 Drinking Water Quality Monitoring Locations

Keeping in view the importance of groundwater as an important source of drinking water to the local population, sample of ground water was collected from the project site for the assessment of impacts of the project on the drinking water quality.

Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various parameters to compare with the standards for drinking water as per IS: 10500 for drinking water sources. The details of water sampling locations are given in Table 2.6.

2.3.2 Methodology of Drinking Water Quality Monitoring

Sampling of drinking water was carried out. Samples were collected as grab sample and sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative sample were properly added to preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured for appropriate temperatures. Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys.

Sample collected for metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological analysis was collected in sterilized glass bottles.

Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they were transported by road to Lab, for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. All the samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for different parameters. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.

The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The analytical techniques and the test methods adopted for testing of ground water are given in Table 2.7.
