CHAPTER - 3 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
EIA METHODOLOGY FOR DATA COLLECTION
It is very important part of base line data collection is an effective methodology and impact prediction to develop an efficient environment management plan. In this regard, it is important to understand the ground realities of the site and surrounding by the experts involved in preparation of EIA. Accordingly, a team of expert visited the proposed site to understand the site surrounding and possible impacts from the activities of the proposed project. The EIA coordinators in consultation with the respective functional area experts selected the sampling locations as per the TORs prescribed by the EAC.
Subsequently, the base line monitoring was undertaken during March 2016 to May 2016 by T. R. Associates Laboratory. The collected data were analysed and interpreted.
3.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Dispersion of different air pollutants released into the atmosphere have significant impacts on the neighborhood air environment of an industrial project and forms an important part of impact assessment studies. The ambient air quality status with respect to the study zone of 10 km radial distance from the plant site will form the base line information over which the predicted impacts due to the proposed plant can be super imposed to find out the net (Final) impacts on air environment. From the final impacts a viable Environmental Management Plan (EMP) can be prepared based on the impact statement for the air environment. The baseline status of the ambient air quality can be assessed thorough scientifically designed ambient air quality monitoring network. The design of monitoring network in the air quality surveillance program has to be based on the following considerations.
Meteorological conditions on synoptic scale. Topography of the study area. Representation of regional background levels. Representation of plant site. Representation of cross sectional distribution in the downward direction. Influence of the existing sources if any, are to be kept at minimum. Inclusion of major distinct villages to collect the baseline status.

3.1.1.2 Meteorology – Data generated at plant site (Primary data March 2016 to May 2016)
Meteorology of the study zones plays an important role in the study of air pollution. Micrometeorological conditions at the proposed project site regulate the dispersion and dilution of air pollutants in the atmosphere. For this purpose a weather station was installed near the plant site for the period March 2016 to May 2016 and recorded hourly observations for the parameters like Maximum and minimum Temperatures (oC), Relative Humidity (%), Wind Speed (m/sec), Wind direction and Rainfall (mm).
Meteorological conditions, of the site, regulates the transport and diffusion of air-pollutants released into the atmosphere. Ambient temperature, wind speed, wind direction and atmospheric stability are called primary or basic Meteorological Parameters because the dispersion and diffusion of pollutants depend mainly on these Parameters. Humidity, precipitation, pressure and visibility are secondary Meteorological Parameters as this control the dispersion of the pollutants indirectly by affecting primary Parameters.
The hourly-recorded observations (wind velocity and wind directions) during above stated study period are used in computing percentage frequencies and are depicted in the form of ‘wind roses’ in Fig. 3.1.2. Primary meteorological data are shown in Annexure A.

3.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Noise word come from the Latin word ‘nauseas’, it is a loud outcry or commotion that is unpleasant, unexpected, or undesired with various frequencies over the audible range due to the regular activities of the Mankind primarily Noise pollution (or environmental noise) is displeasing human, animal or machine-created sound that disrupts the activity or balance of humans or animals life. The source of most outdoor noise worldwide is mainly evolved from Industries, constructions and transportation systems, including motor vehicle noise, aircraft noise and rail noise, poor urban planning may give rise to noise pollution.
Industrial Noise resulting to noise pollution has many reasons such as industries being close to human habitats which prevent the noise from decaying before it reaches human ear.

Environmental Impact Assessment Report Angel Industries, for Proposed Resin Manufacturing Unit Survey No.: 127, Village: Devkaran Na Muvada, Taluka: Dahegam, District: Gandhinagar, Gujarat.
A determination is made of the micro scale impact by predicting anticipated noise levels for each alternative during both construction and operational phases. Predicted noise levels are compared with applicable standards or criteria in order to assess the impact.
The physical description of sound concerns its loudness as a function of frequency. Noise in general sound which comprises of many frequency components with different variations in loudness over the audible frequency range.
Various noise scales have been introduced to describe, a single number, the response of an average human to a complex sound made up of various frequencies at different loud levels, the response of the human ear to sound is dependent on the frequency of the sound and this has led to the concept of weighting scales. In the "A-weighting" scale, the sound pressure levels for the lower frequencies and higher frequencies are reduced by certain amounts before they are being combined together to give one single sound pressure level value. This value is designated as dB (A). The dB (A) is often used as it reflects more accurately the frequency response of the human ear. A perceived loud noise has a high dB or dB (A) value and a soft noise has a low one. The human ear has peak response around 2,500 to 3,000 Hz and has a relatively low response at low frequencies.
3.2.1 Existing Noise Levels
Pre-project noise levels have been monitored at different points within the study zone and on the spot measurement device manufactured by LUTRON SL4001 was used for this purpose. Keeping in view of various local activities such as residential and Industrial activities 8 noise level measurement locations were identified and the sites are depicted in the Fig. 3.2.1 & Table 3.2.1.

The following procedures were used while sampling: Washing the bottles/cans with distilled water prior to the sampling Before collection of water the bottles/cans are again washed 2-3 times with the same water For surface water, Bottles were lowered to a minimum depth of 30 cm below water surface. At each point Different sets of water samples were collected so as cover all the parameters Meticulous attention is taken in proper numbering at the site Sterilized bottles were used for the samples that are to be analyzed for bacteria Civil supply water pipeline taps are sterilized before collection for bacteriological analysis Parameters like pH, conductivity and temperature were analyzed in the field conditions and the results were reconfirmed after getting to the laboratory. DO is fixed and titrated in the field itself. Appropriate preservatives are added, depending upon the elements to be analyzed and marked accordingly (IS: 3025 (part I) 1987) All the water samples collected in the ice box, were immediately transported to the laboratory and free zed at <5oC analysis Field observations were noted in the field notebook As far as possible photographs were taken in almost all sampling pointsSampling & analysis of all the parameters are as per APHA, 22nd Edition & IS: 3025.
3.3.1.2 Data Analysis
The physicochemical and biological analysis of the collected sample results are given in Table 3.3.2 & 3.3.3. The pH of the ground water samples varying from 7.15 to 7.78 indicating neutral. Hardness, Alkalinity, Chlorides, Sulfates is found to be well within prescribed limits. However sulfates are found to be lower than the required limits. Ground water is found as drinkable water and mostly all villages are using ground water as drinking water source. They use pond water, if available, for other domestic activities. Ground and surface water results are given Table No. 3.3.2 & 3.3.3.

3.4 LAND ENVIRONMENT
Land and ecology study is important for Environmental Impact Assessment to identify sensitive issues and take appropriate action by maintaining ‘ecological homeostasis’ in the early stages of development of the project. The objective of this report is to define the present environment in which the proposed action is to occur, to evaluate all the possible eventualities, to ensure that all negative impacts are minimized and to demonstrate that the proposed project has been appropriately announce to all the interested parties so that their concerns can be considered.
For this purpose baseline data (biotic and abiotic factors) has been studied around 10 km radius of the project. This data has been generated during March 2016 – May 2016.
3.4.1 METHODOLOGY OF SAMPLE COLLECTION AND ANALYSIS
Soil
For soil quality analysis 8 sampling sites were chosen to understand physico-chemical and biological status of the soil. Photograph showing soil sampling is shown in Fig.3.4.1 and the sampling sites are marked in Fig.3.4.2. This will establish the baseline characteristics and will facilitate identifying the contamination if any due to the proposed project.
Collection of soil samples and analysis
Disturbed soil samples were collected from the rotary cuttings and bailers and also from split spoon samplers. Un-disturbed tube samples were collected using thin walled tubes. Soil samples were collected such that structure and moisture content of the soil do not get altered. In accordance with IS: 2720, split samples were carefully extracted from the samplers.
Meticulous was paid to collect adequate amount of composite soil samples for analysis. The samples were packed in dependable, waterproof containers and marking specified accurately and distinctly. All the soil samples and core boxes were carefully transported to the testing laboratory.
All ‘Soil sampling and analysis’ will be followed and done by Indian Standard IS – 2720.

EIA : Environmental Impact Assessment:-
EIA is to identify, Predict, mitigate and communicate the possible impact due to proposed project.
Industries require water for processing, cooling, boiler feed and other miscellaneous uses such as washing, maintenance of yards and domestic requirement in townships. Mostly the industrial uses are non-consumptive, thus making reuse through recycling and other conservation measures possible. The amount of water consumed for any product, varies widely depending upon the processes used, plant efficiency, technology employed, the degree to which water is re-circulated and other factors. Industrial waste may contain different kinds of toxic pollutants, which if untreated may result in contamination of water resources. Treatment of industrial waste water and recycling are essential to conserve water resources. Main source of water is borewell within the plant site. Use of water for industrial purpose causes negative impact on the environment. However the select process is eco-friendly. The proponent is going for rain water harvesting by recharge tubewell, which will also used in development of green belt. The development of green belt improves the moist conditions in the soil and control thermal radiation. Due to rain water harvesting, ground water quality will be improved in due course. Used of water of tubewell for industrial purpose cause negative impact on the environment. Rain water harvesting by recharge tubewell will come back and control the negative impact of environment. Treatment of industrial waste water and recycling are essential to conserve water resources. The quantum of recharge should be equal to or more than the proposed withdrawal or consumption. Efficient utilization of recycled water and reuse of water should be mandatory. Water audit measures to be adopted for ensuring minimum use of water.

Runoff from the entire project area is to be utilized for artificial recharge to ground water. Treated water shall not be used for recharge to ground water. Only filtered rain water shall be used for recharge ground water There will be no impact of ground water in the area due to the industries because the ground water level of the area varies from 25 to 30 mts. from ground level. Due to industries operation no waste water will be generated due to the plant is zero discharged eco-friendly process, therefore there will be no impact on the ground water quality as water available in tubewell is portable. It is recommended to provide pucca flooring in the process area as well as in chemical storage area. Chemical storage area is to be provided with dyke wall to control on stop the effluent discharge on land which may contaminate soil. Explore the possibility of reuse/recycle and other cleaner production options for reduction of wastes and to conserve fresh water as the aqua is over exploitation zone. Ensure the efficient operations of provided EMS (Environmental Management System). Ensure proper collection and handling of effluent o\to void any leakages and spillages. Reuse of condensate water in cooling tower. Ensure optimum use of grand water resources. Regular monitoring of water consumption. Maintain proper record of resources utilization. Explore the technology for cleaner production waste minimization of waste treatment /reuse/recycles co-incineration of waste. Ensure proper discharge of sewage to soak pit via septic tank.
Mitigation Measure :-
Fresh water demand will be reduce by water conservation plan like use of air coolers, maximum possible condensate recovery, recycling of washing water and reuse of treated sewage for gardening.

Proper operation and maintenance of effluent treatment plant will be done to ensure meeting specified disposal standards. No discharge of untreated water on land to avoiding leakages. Separate drainage for storm water and effluent will be provided to avoid any contaminations of surface water source. All chemical and fuel storage and handling are as will be provided with proper bunds to avoid runoff contamination during rainy season.
Drainage Pattern:-
The area has a drainage pattern which is of the parallel and trellis type and which is controlled by the topography and structure and tectonics of the region. All the small streams flow from the higher grounds and meet ultimately Meshwa River which flow from south to north direction to south west direction near project area. The area Drainage ultimately meet with Gulf of Khambhat. Area has diverse landscape made up of small hills, valley, drainage flow, Platue and alluvium plain. The terrain slope is southly in the north and westernly in the south number of major river drains the area. Due to terrain constraint it is necessary to adopt proper soil conservation and sand water development and management practice for w/s in sustained basis. Because of short span of monsoon season and limited storage capacity and rapid cut flow for hard rock aquifers, that is need to provide ground water recharge facilities to supplement its which drawl at a time of summer. As various components of the hydrologic system-Catchment runoff , base flow and ground water an integrated at the level of river basins, river basin should be the unit of governance and management of water resource such a system of governance will ensure integration of physical sustainability consideration and the social economical and environmental consideration in water resources management planning which ultimately result in good governance.

3.4.4 LAND USE STATUS
The land-use & land cover map of the 10 km radius study area from the project site has been prepared using IRS P6 LISS-III satellite image procured from NRSC (National Remote sensing Centre), Hyderabad. Land use pattern of the study area as well as the catchment area was carried out by standard methods of analysis of remotely sensed data and followed by ground truth collection (Bench mark) and interpretation of satellite data. The outcome of land use study has been presented below in subsequent table and figures. The data was processed through ArcGIS Software tools available with ESRI Package. The Land use map of the 10 Km study area is presented in Figure 3.4.3.
Land use & land cover classification results
Land Cover is the physical material at the surface of the earth (it include grass, asphalt, trees, bare ground, water, etc.) whereas Land use is the human use of land. Land Use involves the management and modification of natural environment or wilderness into built environment such as fields, pastures, and settlements. It has also been defined as "the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce, change or maintain it".
There is no one ideal classification of land use and land cover, and it is unlikely that one could ever be developed. There are different perspectives in the classification process, and the process itself tends to be subjective, even when an objective numerical approach is used.
Concepts concerning land cover and land use activity are closely related and in many cases have been used interchangeably. The purposes for which lands are being used commonly have associated types of cover, whether they are forest, agricultural, residential, or industrial. Remote sensing image-forming devices do not record activity directly. The remote sensor acquires a response which is based on many characteristics of the land surface, including

natural or artificial cover. The interpreter uses color, tones, textures, shapes, size, patterns, and site associations to derive information about land use activities from what is basically information about land cover.
To begin with, there is considerable diversity of opinion about what constitutes land use, although present use of land is one of the characteristics that are widely recognized as significant for planning and management purposes.
The classification must be scientifically defensible presenting a logical progression of its applicability over large areas, amenable for use with remote sensor data. The classification scheme is adopted for extracting information for on most possible land use/land cover classes in general and all the agricultural seasons in particular and hence enable to repeat the process at regular time intervals.
The present Land use / Land cover map for the proposed project activity is prepared by current vintage of satellite image. This report thus will enable assessing the impact on land use pattern in the study area due to the proposed project activity.
(A) DATA USED
Current vintage data of Indian Remote Sensing satellite IRS P6 LISS III digital FCC (False Color Composite) has been used for preparation of Land use/ Land cover thematic map of study area. Survey of India toposheet as a reference map on 1:50,000 scale has been used for preparation of base layer data like road, rail network, village and mine site and for geo referencing of satellite image.

(C) INTERPRETATION OF REMOTE SENSING DATA
Satellite images are composed of array of grid, each grid has a numeric value that is known as digital number. Smallest unit of this grid is known as a pixel that captures reflectance of ground features represented in terms of Digital number, each representing specific land features. Using image classification technique, the satellite data is converted into thematic information, map based on the user’s knowledge about the ground area. Hybrid technique has

been used i.e. visual interpretation and digital image processing for identification of different land use and vegetation cover classes based on spectral signature of geographic feature.
Spectral signature represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keys are developed based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow, association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature. Training sites are then assigned based on their spectral signature and interpretation elements. Using image classification algorithm land use map is generated.
A total of seven land use/land cover classes have been demarcated in the study area following Level I, II and III classification (Table 3.4.3). A thematic map suitable for 1:25,000 scale map generation incorporating these classified categories has been prepared and considering that the area of the project is considerably small a large scale map is prepared (Fig.3.4.4). The area as a whole represents plain area with very gentle sloping to nearly level area & to the north of area is main canals flowing from east to west and it is also observed that the minor stream (meshwo and mazam) are linked with these two main river channel (Sabarmati and Vatrak) debouche into the Arabian sea. Medium level industrial zone covered for 1.01 sq km, the total land area of scrub land covered 17.83 sq km and 396.25 sq km area covered under agriculture land as well as plantation / Horticulture 38.48 sq km has developed mainly in the area adjacent to the rivers. The adjoining area of project site is totally agricultural land including Kharif, Rabi and Summer crop, constitute the dominant category of land use covering as much as 396.25 sq km of the total area. Active river canal forming the perennial water body together with the numerous open & wastelands form a major and minor land cover category. Active river and its tributaries flowing into it cover about 16.85 sq km of the total project area. Due to large seasonal variation in discharge of these rivers, the area coverage of this category various in space and time. The consistently shifting nature of the (canal name) and consequent bank migration has resulted in large uncultivated & rural settlement along the active plain area towards the site location. These areas are perennially waterlogged dry and settlement development area the

3.4.5 TOPOGRAPHY
THE AREA OF THE PROJECT SITE (M/S. ANGEL INDUSTRIES) IS LOCATED IN THE SOUTH EASTERN PART OF GANDHINAGAR DISTRICT OF GUJARAT STATE.
The topographic feature & drainage pattern of the study area has been studied from SRTM3, 2008 data having resolution of 3 arc seconds. The toposheet have been analysed using GIS application to generate the contour line at interval of 10 Kms considering one elevated area in the study region. Further, the digital elevation data have been analysed to determine the slope & elevation profiles of the each individual villages of the study area as well as whole study area to ascertain the landform of the villages and study area. It has been observed that the major area of study area is levelled plain to nearly level with small slopes. Two areas in the study region have been noticed with considerably medium slope near village Chiskari making the landform of small slopes indicating small plain with the elevation profile. Over all slope direction of the study area is noticed towards north to south west. The maximum elevation and higher slope is found near northern part of Tenpur, Bhundasan and Jindva village where a medium height is situated. The generated streams indicated that the most of the area are covered by two main stream ie Mazam and Meshwo river flowing through the Southern area and downstream merges with major river ie. Vatrak and Sabarmati . Besides it is also observed that the minor stream are linked with these two main drainage channel and are sufficient to take care of draining the runoff during probable high rainfall to avoid flooding in the region. Topography of the area is characterized by dominating plain area with very gentle sloping to nearly level area .

DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL
Digital Elevation Models are data files that contain the elevation of the terrain over a specified area, usually at a fixed grid interval over the "Bare Earth". The intervals between each grid points will always be referenced to some geographical coordinate system. This is usually either latitude-longitude or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinate systems. The closer are together the grid points, more detailed information will be in the file. The detail s of the peaks and valleys in the terrain will be better modelled with small grid spacing than when the grid interval s are very large. Elevations other than at the specific grid point locations are not contained in the file. As a result peak points and valley points not coinciding with the grid will not be recorded in the file. For practical purpose this "Bare Earth" DEM is generally synonymous with a Digital Terrain Model (DTM)

3.4.6.2 Micro Approach - Field-based Primary Data Collection
Micro level fileld approach involved mainly the survey-based primary data collection on various biodiversity components of the project objectives. The field data collection mainly included biodiversity assessment of different life forms of floral speies such as; trees, shrubs, herbs and grass. Faunal diversity was also assessed by inventorying the major group like herpetofauna, birds and mammals.
3.4.6.3 Floral Status
Status of floral diversity was assessed in representative habitats of each type like; wastelands which include: open scrub forest and Prosopis juliflora mixed thickets, semi-wilderness area, agricultural hedge, near human habitation, plantation, stream and river beds and wetlands (inland).
3.4.6.4 Faunal Status
A. Herpetofauna Status of herpetofauna was assessed using Intensive Time Constrained Search Method covering different micro habitats (Welsh, 1987, Welsh and Lind 1991). This intensive search was made in different habitat types randomly selected.
B. Birds Avifaunal status was assessed both in terrestrial and aquatic habitats. Total count or flock count method was adopted to assess the status of aquatic birds in the existing water bodies (Sridharan 1989 and Bhupathy 1991). Point count method was used to assess the status of terrestrial birds (Bibby et al., 1992 and Hutto et al., 1986). The second technique adopted was area search method (Dieni and Jones 2002), a time area constrained survey technique that has been widely and commonly used in several bird monitoring programs.

3.4.6.6 Biodiversity - Status of Fauna
1. Herpetofauna
The buffer zone area covering 5 km radius reported overall 7 species belong to 7 genus and 6 families. Within the buffer zone, among the habitats types maximum of five species were enered along the villages of Hathmati and Khari rivers (discussed and collected information from local people) followed by three species in agriculture areas and two species in other habitats (Table 3.4.9).

3. Status of mammals
As discussed with local people, within buffer zone only seven species of mammalian fauna was reported and each belongs to separate family/group. None of the family reported more than one species and showed low species richness (Table 3.4.11). Since the study area dominated by agriculture habitat, mammalian fauna showed low species richness.

In addition, several wilderness and agriculture landscape also recorded Common Hanuman Langoor with more frequency.
3.4.6.7 Threatened Plants And Animals And Conclusion Note
This study reported a total of 136 plant species, 7 herpetofauna, 38 birds and 6 species of mamamals from the buffer zone of M/s. Angel Industries. However, no threatened biodiversity reported with highest density or richness from the core and buffer zones of the study area. No true multi species forest type was recorded in the vicinity of the five kilometer radii in and around the project site. It clearly indicates the low productive potential of the terrestrial ecosystem. Since the project associated activities do not required any additional land, the terrestrial ecosystem is considerably free from the project related impacts. In addition, all the terrestrial systems are dominated by resident species. Common mammalian species like Jackal, Nilgai, Hanuman Langoor and Wild Boar were more abundant close to the project sites.

3.5 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
3.5.1 Introduction
Development of projects goes hand in hand with environmental impact and hence before any project is undertaken the damages in relation to the benefits should be measured. Unfortunately environmental issues are interdisciplinary, interactive, biological and probabilistic and because the information is always deficient, the outcome has a considerable degree of uncertainty or risk. This conflict between development and conservation is difficult to reconcile. Environmental baseline, ecological reconnaissance and environmental impact studies provide databases and quantitative assessment of environmental factors related to development projects.
Any developmental activity will influence the socioeconomic conditions of the population in the region and thus the Quality of Life (QOL). Socioeconomic survey is necessary in EIA/EMP report preparation to predict the changes on social and economic status. Hence baseline data for demographic characteristics, education, health, amenities and sensitive locations existing in and around the project area have been studied in the study area. For the study of socioeconomics 10 km radius around the site is selected.
The study area is agricultural land. The major language is Guajarati, Hindi and English with a accumulation of different cultures like Hindus, Muslims and the Christians. It is the centre of Gujarati cultural activities and diverse traditions of different ethnic and religious communities

3.5.2.1 Households
A 'household' is usually a group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen unless the exigencies of work prevent any of them from doing so. Persons in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of unrelated persons live in a census house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not constituent of a common household. Each such person was to be treated as separate households. The important link is finding out whether it was a household or not was a common kitchen. There may be one member households, two member households or multi- member households.
There are nearly 24132 households are found in the study area. The list of Households is given in table 3.5.1.
3.5.2.2 Population
Village/ town wise population composition as per 2011 census is listed in table 3.5.2. The male & female population is 62609 and 59171 respectively. The SC and ST population of the total population is 3.75 % & 2.24 % respectively.

3.5.2.3 Occupational structure
Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. It even includes part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. All persons engaged in 'work' as defined above are workers. Persons who are engaged in cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as workers. Occupational structure is divided in to 3 categories viz., Main workers, Marginal workers and Non workers.
The distribution data for workers and non workers is given in Table 3.5.3 And Fig. 3.5.3.
