Executive Summary

NEED AND JUSTIFICATION OF THE PROJECT

The Nandikur area is probably the industrialized area in the State of Karnataka and as such there is not only influx of industries but also due to creation of new industries more workers and man power have joined this places leading to a substantial increase in the population. The project will generate direct and indirect employment opportunities for the local people. The plant will create additional employment during construction & operational phase.

WATER AND WASTEWATER GENERATION

The total water demand for the proposed site during operation will be about 483 KLD out of which the sewage generated will be 146 KLD.The treated water will be reused in toilet

Executive Summary

flushing, gardening etc. and the estimated amount of wastewater generated from the industries is 391 KLD, which will be treated in their respective Effluent Treatment Plants (ETP).

SOLID WASTE ESTIMATION

The quantities of waste likely to be generated from the industrial and non-industrial phases have been estimated on the basis of population and land use characteristics. Table 2 presents the estimated solid waste quantities from the proposed project.

BASE LINE DATA The primary baseline data have been established by the field survey and subsequent lab analysis of the samples. The expert crew stayed in the field for the study of Air, water, land and noise quality of the core and buffer area. Details of the sampling Locations for Air, water, soil and noise are tabulated as below.

DATA GENERATION & OBSERVATION AirEnvironment The prime objective of baseline air monitoring is to evaluate the existing air quality of the area. This will also be useful for assessing the conformity to standards of the ambient air quality during the construction and operation of the proposed project. This section describes the selection of sampling locations, methodology adopted for sampling, analytical techniques and frequency of sampling. The results of ambient air monitoring carried out in the 6 locations of the study area. The results of ambient air monitoring carried out during the study during the month of September, October and November 2013

Executive Summary

hardness, alkalinity, chlorides & sulphates were also average. Iron value of 0.10mg/l, was found in Palimar. The groundwater at project site is comparatively good and with some treatment, can be used for domestic purpose.

SOIL ENVIRONMENT

It has been observed that the pH of the soil ranges from 5.44 - 6.43 indicating that the soil is ideal for plant growth. The nitrogen values are in the range of 33.5 - 146 mg/kg and the potassium values range between 235 - 472 mg/kg, which indicate that the soils have moderate quantities of potassium. The soil from the study area shows moderately fertility.
