Chapter - 3 Description of Environment Environmental Impact Assessment Report Angel Industries, for Proposed Resin Manufacturing Unit Survey No.: 127, Village: Devkaran Na Muvada, Taluka: Dahegam, District: Gandhinagar, Gujarat. 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. T. R. Associates, Ahmedabad, Gujarat Chapter-3: Description of Environment 3.1 Environmental Impact Assessment Report Angel Industries, for Proposed Resin Manufacturing Unit Survey No.: 127, Village: Devkaran Na Muvada, Taluka: Dahegam, District: Gandhinagar, Gujarat. 3.1.1 Micrometeorological Data Micro-meteorological data within the project area during the air quality survey period is an indispensable part of air pollution study. The meteorological data recorded during survey period is very useful for proper interpretation of the baseline information as well as serves as an input, to predictive models for air quality impacts. To understand meteorological scenario primary generated and secondary data collected. This data is used in the interpretation of wind scenario. The data collected from the both sources are summarized as follows: Table 3.1.1 Meteorological Data Collection Period Primary data (March 2016 to May 2016): Parameters like Wind speed and its direction, Temperature, Humidity and Precipitation collected for project site using Automatic Weather Station at >10 m height. Meteorological data Secondary data (March 2015 to May 2015): Secondary data has been collected from the nearest IMD source (Ahmedabad) for temperature, Humidity, Rainfall, wind speed, wind direction & Cloud cover. 3.1.1.1 Meteorological Data from IMD, Ahmedabad (Secondary Data March 2015 to May 2015:) As per the historical data (IMD), collected (Ahmedabad for the above mentioned year 2015), the daily maximum temperature recorded in the month of May (44.60C) and the daily minimum temperature were recorded in the month of March (13.8oC). Similarly the maximum humidity levels was recorded in the month of March (90 %) and the minimum humidity levels recorded in the month of April (80 %). The maximum mean wind speed (6 km/hr) in the month of April & May, where the minimum mean wind speed (5 km/hr) was recorded in the month of March.

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. T. R.

The heights of the sampling locations were kept between 3 to 6 m in all the locations. After reconnaissance of the area and observing the topographical features and review of the available meteorological data and local conditions the sampling sites were chosen which will be the representative of the local areas under study.

Bhatt*and R.D. Shah M.G. Science Institute, Navarangpura, Ahmedabad, 380007, Gujarat *Corresponding Author: [email protected] Abstract Present paper deals with the integrated study of satellite and field investigation in the central segment of Sabarmati River basin that covers ~ 20,000 km2 area along Cambay fault system. The valley floor morphology within the central segment of the Sabarmati River basin is controlled by several NNW-SSE, NW-SE, and NE-SW trending faults of Cambay basin. The sequential reactivation of these faults gives rise to morphological changes in the river system, leading to incision and widening of valley floor, favorable sites for deposition of Quaternary sediments. The consequence of sequential reactivation and deposition of sediments is reflected in the form of tectonic geomorphology in the area. Several geomorphic markers, such as paleochannels, wind gap, uplifted strath terraces, incised ravine surfaces, compressed meandering, and offset of drainage pattern associated with tectonic activity have been identified in the region. Key words: Sabarmati River, Morphotectonics, Neotectonics, GIS, Geomorphology INTRODUCTION basin has been investigated to evaluate tectonic activity in the central portion of the basin. In the present study, Morphotectonic studies can be defined as the study we have used high-resolution satellite imageries to identify of different types of landforms produced by tectonic tectonic signatures from the central portion of Sabarmati processes, or application of geomorphology to solve basin.

Most of the people living in and around Jambughoda are ‘Rathwas’ & ‘Nayaks.’ They are superstitious and God-fearing people. The entrance to their home is through a richly carved wooden door with figurines and tribal icons. The front is usually decorated with Pithora paintings for which the Rathwas are known. They do not live in hamlets. Their dwellings are separated from each other by considerable distance. We will visit the tribal museum of Chhota Udaipur, which has a large collection of tribal artifacts. Many tribal artifacts are also brought for sale in the ‘haats’ (weekly markets) in the city and nearby villages.
