The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner and to understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to minimize those risks. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the planned design and by taking appropriate mitigation measures to reduce adverse environmental impacts during the project’s life cycle.

2. AREAS FOR IDENTIFICATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND IMPACTS The environmental parameters likely to be affected by a construction project are related to many factors, i.e. physical, social, economic etc. The operations may disturb environment of the project area and its surroundings in various ways, such as removal of mass / earth, change of landscape, clearing of flora and displacement of fauna of the area, surface drainage, and likely change in air quality, water quality and soil quality. While for the purpose of development and economic up-liftment of people, there is need for establishment of the project, but these should be environment friendly. Then only a sustainable development can be ensure. Therefore, it is essential to assess the impacts of proposed project on different environmental parameters, before starting the construction activities as well as the operational activities, so that abatement measures could be planned in advance for the area. 3. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) The Environment Management Plan (EMP) for a development project prescribes the mitigation measures to be adopted to nullify or to minimize various anticipated environment impacts so as to ensure nil / low impact due to the project to the surrounding environment. This will ensure sustainable and environment friendly development. The Environment Management Plan for various facets of environment are given below : -

2. WATER ENVIRONMENT Anticipated Impacts :- a. Impact on competing users (if water is taken from the public supply) due to large consumption of water for curing, dust suppression, construction, domestic use etc. b. The daily construction water requirement for construction purposes is expected to be about 32 KL and the domestic water requirement (daily) is expected to be about 20 KL. Mitigation Measures :-  To avoid wastage of curing water, following procedures are suggested:- • Curing water should be sprayed on concrete structures: free flow of water should not be allowed for curing. • After liberal curing on the first day, all concrete structures should be painted with curing chemical to save water. This will stop daily water curing. • Concrete structures should be covered with thick cloth / gunny bags and then water should be sprayed on them. This would avoid water rebound and will ensure sustained and complete curing. • Ponds or tanks should be made using cement and sand mortar to avoid water flowing away from the flat surface while curing.  Monitoring water use:- Use of water meter conforming to ISO Standards would be installed at the inlet point of water uptake and at all discharge points to monitor the daily water consumption.  Use of labour sheds (temporary accommodation) (if proposed within the site) & for construction purposes.

F. RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.1 Introduction This chapter broadly looks at various aspects related to risk & disaster management and resource conservation. 1.2 Risk Assessment and Disaster Management Plan 1.2.1 Need and Plans The proposed project is an expansion of existing Welcare Hospital project encompasses the lives of a large number of people. It also involves installation of various structures and machineries that meet the comfort and needs of its population but may also pose serious threat to the occupants in case of accident. It is thus considered necessary to carry out a risk assessment and prepare a disaster management plan for the project. The planning and construction of the buildings follow all the safety norms, it may not be always possible to totally eliminate the risks of eventualities and failures of equipment or human errors. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore will be concerned with mitigating the effects of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. The overall objective of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make uses of combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following: 1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it; 2. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property; 3. Effectively rescue and medical treatment of casualties; 4. Safeguard to other people; 5. Evacuate people to safe areas; 6. Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities; 7. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control; 8. Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and circumstances of the emergency; 9. Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence The ERP is therefore related to identification of sources from which hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The response plan takes into account the maximum credible loss scenario - actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need to be well planned so that they would require less effort and

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 90 Expansion of existing Hospital Buildings within the existing hospital complex of M/s Welcare Hospital

resources to control and terminate emergencies, should the same occur. Main hazards identified for the project include hazards pertaining to fires in buildings and fire in diesel storage areas, earthquake and LPG leakage an ERP pertaining to these condition is described in the following sections. 1.2.2 Response in Case of Earthquake Response Procedures for Occupants If indoors : 1. Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on. 2. Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the building because objects can fall on you. If outdoors : Move into the open, away from buildings, streetlights and utility wires. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. If in a moving vehicle : Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear / safe area away from buildings, trees, overpasses or utility wires. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might have been damaged by the quake. After the quake 1. After the quake be prepared for aftershocks. 2. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may bring weakened structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake. Help injured or trapped persons . 1. Give first aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help. 2. Remember to help those who may require special assistance, like infants, the elderly and people with disabilities. 3. Stay out of damaged buildings. 4. Use the telephone only for emergency calls. Response Procedure for Emergency Team 1. Formulate an Emergency Response Team for earthquake response

ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN 91 Expansion of existing Hospital Buildings within the existing hospital complex of M/s Welcare Hospital

2. Using the public address system, inform occupiers about response procedures discussed above. 3. Inform the necessary authorities for aid 4. Ensure no residents are stuck beneath any debris, in case of a structural failure. 5. Ensure that all occupiers standing outside near the buildings are taken to open areas. 6. Ensure that the first aid ambulance and fire tender vehicles are summoned if necessary. 7. Inform the nearby other hospitals if there are any injuries. 8. Check the utilities and storage tanks for any damage. 1.2.3 Status on natural disasters w.r.t. site and surroundings Earthquakes :- As per seismic classification, the project site falls in Zone-III.
