Sewage Treatment Plant (STP)

Proposed IT office building, with a view to conserve fresh water resources and adopt re – use measures, have proposed to set up a water treatment and re–use system for the sewage generated from entire building. The only sources of wastewater are from domestic in IT office building. This domestic sewage treatment plant is for the treatment of water from Toilet.

The proposed plant could treat 4,49,000 liters of water in a day. The treated Effluent is proposed to be reused for toilet flushing and gardening of the entire project. The methodology adopted for treatment of sewage is based on Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) followed by Ultra Filtration.

VI. RAINWATER HARVESTING AND RECHARGE

 Rooftop open area water is proposed to be collected in separate rain water harvesting sumps which will be used for domestic purposes of the proposed project after appropriate primary treatment required.  Storm water runoff from road / paved / landscaped areas will be directed to rain water percolation pits constructed along the project premises.

Basic Assumptions

 Average rain fall Considered = 1194 mm (IMD, Tenkasi); No. of rainy days = 60  Intensity of rainfall = 1194/60 = 19.90 mm/day or 0.019 m/day

TABLE–12 RUN-OFF CALCULATIONS

Harvestable water Area Impermeability Sr.No. Category (Intensity x Area (Sq.m.) Factor x Imp. Factor) cum/day

1 Ground coverage 81397 0.6 927.9 (Terrace)

2 Landscaped area 207409.07 0.3 1182.23 (Green area & OSR)

3 Road/Paved area 31097.42 0.9 531.76

Total 319903.49 2641.89

Run-off from Terraces

Considering the constant co-efficient factor of 0.80 (for all situations) for evaporation, spillage and first flush wastage (Source: CPWD Manual, 2002)

From Building area = 927.9 cu.m x 0.80 (for all time) = 742.32 cu.m

 The run-off from the terraces shall be separately piped to an underground collection sump, after duly filtering the same. This water is proposed to be used as domestic water after necessary treatment.  UG Storage sumps is proposed, with upstream filters.

Run-off from Roads, Paved area & Landscape area

Storm runoff from open area, greenbelt area and paved area = 1713.99 cu.m x 0.80 (for all time) = 1371.19 cu.m

All the water shall be routed to rainwater harvesting pits

 The run-off from terraces, roads, paved area & greenbelt & vacant area will be diverted through storm water network to individual percolation pits proposed along

M/s. Highland valley corporation Pvt Ltd, Chennai, Tamil Nadu Conceptual Plan the project periphery and the rain water will be re-charged into underground aquifers;  A percolation rate of 0.51 is considered with percolation depth as 10m;  Run-off = 1371.19 X (1.0 – 0.51) = 671.8 m3;  Size of percolation pit = 1.98 m Ø and 3.96 m depth;  Storage volume in each pit: 12.20 m3;  Quantity of storm water run-off: 671.80 m3;  No. of storage pits required: 671.80 m3/ 12.20 m3 = 55; and  55 Nos. of percolation pits will be constructed along the project site periphery for rain water recharge.

VII. SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The total waste generated from the entire project amounts to around 0.907 MT/day. Out of which biodegradable will be about 0.544 MT/day (i.e.60%) and non-biodegradable will be about 0.363 MT/day (i.e.40%).

Organic solid-waste will be treated in an organic waste converter after used manure for garden and inorganic waste is proposed for recycling through authorized recyclers. STP sludge generated from the STP will be used as manure for garden.

Solid waste generated from the project is calculated as below:

VIII. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN

Traffic Management Measures adopted  Merging of vehicles will be performed only to left traffic from the exit gates, this ensures safety  To establish smooth entry & exit of vehicles, bell mouth shape geometry is provided at the gates. This ensures smooth transition for merging of vehicles.  Both entry and exit are manned with trained and efficient security

Submitted by M/s. Highland valley corporation Pvt Ltd, Chennai, Tamil Nadu Conceptual Plan  Provision is made for the parking of visitors vehicles  Yellow paint junction boxes are painted at the locations to create psychological barrier for through drivers to control the speed.  Rubber humps are introduced for the outgoing vehicles at the exit gate drive way.

X. CONCLUSION

The establishment of the proposed project by M/s. Highland valley corporation Pvt Ltd, Kadayam Perumpathu Village, Mathapuram, Ambasamudram Taluk, Tirunelveli District, Tamil Nadu, is best suited with the kind of climate that the area has. The proposed project would cater to the people working in this area.

Ground water point of view

The project consumes about 369 KLD of fresh water in a day which will be sourced from Wells in the plant. The wastewater will be treated and re-used for toilet flushing and garden maintenance.

Soil quality point of view

The soil analysis was already carried out, and was found to be good. There are no chances of soil contamination and no discharge of wastewater from unit operations which may contaminate the ground water table.

Air quality point of view

Air emissions will be only from DG Sets, for which stacks are provided with a height of 3m above building height for all DG Sets. Added to this, the fuel used is ultrapure low sulphur content diesel and thus the emissions will be lowest.

Noise quality point of view

The generation of noise from proposed project is negligible, as the only noise generating equipments are the DG Sets which comes with an inbuilt acoustic enclosure which has noise levels <75 dB.

Floral & Faunal diversity point of view

No kind of Floral & Faunal destruction is envisaged for the current project. As a matter of fact, the project is going to add further to the existing situation as landscape development is proposed for about 8.71 ha.

Hazardous waste point of view

The proposed project will not generate any hazardous waste except for the spent oil from the DG Sets. However, the authorization of the Tamil Nadu Pollution Control Board will be obtained as per the norms of the Hazardous Waste Management Rules. The waste oil from the DG Sets will not be discarded in any open area. Hence there is no threat to the soil and the neighboring area due to waste oil.

Final Conclusion

The proposed project would have very less negative impact on the surrounding area or on the environment. The proposed project would indeed help the socio economic condition of the area and it is very highly recommended for the establishment of the project. The project would not have any negative impact on the soil, water, air or noise environment.
