2.7. Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities created.

Answer: The project has provision for rain water harvesting plan within the project premises. The rainwater will be recharged to the ground water level.

2.8. What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?

Answer: The present land use of the project is industrial. After the construction work the land is being leveled and planned. Therefore the water will not stagnate at any place and will run smoothly on the plain surface after rain and will percolate to ground.

Apart from this a proper storm water network is being developed. The run off from landscaped, roof top and open area would be used for recharging the deep strata from which groundwater is to be extracted in the project site.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained from competent authority, if any)

Answer: The impacts on water availability in the region are assessed based on future water demand and the net availability of ground water resources in the area. The bore wells already exist in the area.

Construction activities for the development can have minor impact on ground water quality of the area if the construction waste leaches to the ground.

Potential sources of pollution that may impact ground water qualities in the area are as follows.

1. Solid runoff from the project may leads to off-site Contamination (particularly during rainy season). However, owing to high elevation of site peripheral boundary, no or very little runoff is anticipated.

2. Improper disposal of construction debris may be lead to off- site contamination of water resources

3. Unaccounted disposal of domestic wastewater from temporary labour camps.

Answer: No major runoff is expected. High rise boundary wall with temporarily laid storm water drains will prevent the runoff to avoid Pollution of land and aquifers.

2.11. How is the storm water from within the site managed?(State the provisions made to avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels)

Answer: Most of the storm water collected on site is being harvested for ground water recharge. It shall be ensured that it is free from contaminations before recharge to the ground. A well laid drainage system in the complex will prevent the flooding of the area. Contamination of storm water is possible from the following sources:

 Silt from soil erosion in gardens  Spillage of sludge from drain

As detailed “Storm Water Management Plan” is being developed, this has considered the above sources. The run off from landscaped, roof top and complex‟s would be used for recharging the deep strata from which groundwater is to be extracted in the proposed site. The design of pits would be done taking into consideration retention time for the run-off water in the harvesting pit.

The plan will incorporate best management practices which will include following:

 Regular inspection and clearing of storm drains.  Cover waste storage areas.  Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season  Secondary containment any dykes in fuel/ oil storage facilities  Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness  Preparation of spill response plan, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.  Provision of slit traps in storm water drains  Good housing in the above areas.

2.12 Will the deployment of construction labourers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation)

Answer: During construction phase, wastewater shall be generated by labourers. Wastewater generated would contain high concentration of BOD, nitrate etc. Significant water quality impacts were occurred, if the sewage is disposed without any prior treatment. The management strives to deploy local population from nearby villages to the maximum extent possible; hence impact from labour complex is not anticipated to be high.

2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal)

Answer: The project has sewage treatment plant; therefore, management of sewage is safe upto maximum possible extent.

o Landscaping o Green Belt Development o Garden and Avenue Plantation

The section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the above objective.

Land Scaping

Selection of the plant species is based on their adaptability to the existing geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the forest type of the region.

During the development of the green belt, it has to be emphasized that those native plant species would be planted which are having good ornamental values and fast growing with excellent canopy cover.

Green Belt Development Plan

The Plantation matrix adopted for the Green Belt development includes pits 0.3 m x 0.3 m x 0.3 m size with spacing of 2 m x 2 m. In addition, earth filling and manure may be also required for the proper nutritional balance and nourishment of the sapling. It is also recommended that the plantation has to be taken up randomly and the landscaping aspects could be taken into consideration.

First Tier – Shrubs species having good levels of air pollution tolerance limits which is referred to as Tolerance zone.

1. Broken or interrupted: The branching pattern and canopy formation is not uniform e.g. palm varieties. In between the shrubs species at regular intervals in the first tier.

2. Drooping canopy: The branches and leaves droop downwards e.g. Polyalthia long folia. In between the shrubs in the first tier.

8 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

Second Tier – Trees having fast growth potential with conical canopy called dispersion zone:

1. Rotund type: The shape of the crown is more or less rounded; branches and leaves are closely arranged e.g. Ficus species. Suitable for second and third tier.

2. Flat topped canopy: The branches of the crown uniformly given flat tapped crown and the spread of the crown are wide to cover a wide area. e.g. Cassia fistula.

Third Tier - Trees having hairy leaves with thick and round canopy called as absorption zone.

1. Cylindrical Type: The branches and leaves form a close network and given the longitudinal spread. Eg. Delbergia species. In between the trees in the third tier.

2. Chimney Type: The branches give the appearance of long chimney. E.g. Eucalyptus sp. Outer rows of the third tier.

3. Conical Type: The growth of main stem and horizontal branches appear in the form of a cone e.g. Casuarinas. Peripheral rows of the third tier.

Selection of plant species for Green Belt Development

The selection of plant species for the development depends up on various factors such as climate, elevation, and soil. The plant would exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to be selected for plantation.

 The species should be fast growing and providing optimum penetrability  The species should be wind-firm and deep rooted.  The species should form a dense canopy.  As far as possible, the species should be indigenous and locally available.

 Species tolerance to air pollutants like SPM, SO2 and NOx should be preferred.  The species should be permeable to help create air turbulence and mixing with in the belt.  There should be no large gaps for the air to spill through.  Trees with high foliage density, leaves with larger leaf area and hairy on both the surfaces.  Ability to withstand conditions like inundation and drought.  Soil improving plants ( Nitrogen fixing, rapidly decomposable leaf litter)  Attractive appearance with good flowering and fruit bearing  Sustainable green cover with minimal maintenance.

Garden and Avenue Plantation

Gardens maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes will not only improve the current ecology of the proposed site but also aesthetic value in the area. The plan for plantation in parks and avenues are given below.

Gardens

 Ornamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for people to relax.  Suitable patches of lawns, rocketry with cactus and other small flowering xerophytic plants.

10.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Environment Management Plan would consist of all mitigation measures for each item wise activity to be undertaken during the construction, operation and the entire life cycle to minimize adverse environmental impacts as a result of the activities of the project. It would also delineate the environmental monitoring plan for compliance of various environmental regulations. It will state the steps to be taken in case of emergency such as accidents at the site including fire.

10.1 Introduction

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is aimed at mitigating the possible adverse impacts of a project and for ensuring to maintain the existing environmental quality. The EMP converses all aspects of planning, construction and operation of the project, which are relevant to environment. It is essential to implement the EMP right from the planning stage and then continuing it throughout the construction and operation stage. The Environmental management Plan (EMP) is always site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all contractors and sub-contractors, including consultants, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to properly manage the risk.

Therefore the main objective of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to identify the project specific activities that would have to be considered for investigation of the significant adverse impacts and the mitigation measures required. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the design by taking appropriate mitigative actions to reduce adverse environmental impacts during its life cycle. The plan outlines existing and potential problems that may adversely impact the environment and recommends corrective measures where required. Also, the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and contractors who are charged with the responsibility to manage the project site.

While evolving effective and feasible EMP, many parameters are considered on the basis of technological as well as economic aspects. The EMP is generally

1. It should be prepared in accordance with rules and requirements of the MOEFCC and the State Pollution Control Board.

2. Care should be taken to ensure that the component of facility are operated in accordance with design ;

3. All precautions should be taken to addresses public complaints during construction and operation of the facility

4. Plan should be to ensure remedial measures are implemented immediately

The plan always considered the treatments and discharge of unavoidable pollutant into the atmosphere, monitoring of physical environment external or internal, green belt development, housekeeping practices, the occupational health and safety concern, the socio-economic issues, energy conservation and recycling practices.

The benefits of Environment Management Plans are

1. It provides the infrastructure for managing its Environmental performance and continuous improvements. 2. It improve the quality of environment in the society.

EMP includes four major elements;

Commitment & Policy:

The proposed Complex will implement the environmental management plan that incorporates all issues related to air, land and water.

Planning:

This includes identification of environmental impacts, statuary requirements and to find and set environmental objectives.

Implementation:

These is being resources available to the developers, accountability and responsibility of contractors, training and awareness to operational staff associated with environmental control facilities and documentation of measures to be taken.

10.2 IMPLEMENTATION OF EMP

An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is being required to mitigate and eliminate the adverse environmental impacts during construction and operation phase of the project and these are as below:

EMP FOR AIR ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

To mitigate the impact of SPM (dust) and other emissions during the construction phase of the proposed project, the following measures are recommended for implementation:

 A dust control plan ; and  Procedural changes to construction activities.

Dust Control Plan

The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of water tends to be readily available on a construction site. Water can be applied using water trucks, handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Furthermore, incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in transport, especially if material is transported off-site.

The following measures shall be put to practice to minimize the impact on the air environment as the construction activities are likely to generate dust due to vehicular movement, excavation, emissions from the labour camp used by the construction workers.

 Provision shall be made for sprinkling of water on the roads used for transportation of materials; and speed of vehicle is being restricted to 15 Kms/hr  Arrangements shall be made for sprinkling of water at the construction site; to suppress any kind of dust emission  Any excavation that is deep and large in nature shall be done using mechanical measures so that the same is over within a short period.  The debris and unutilized construction material and earth from the construction site shall be used within the premises.

21 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

 Controls of other Air Emissions  It shall be ensured that vehicles which are employed by the Developers or by Contractors ply with PUC Certificate.  Any generator to be installed by the Contractor at the site shall meet the guidelines as laid down by Central Pollution Control Board.

Reduction of On-site Construction Time

Rapid on-site construction would reduce the duration of traffic interference and therefore, reduce emissions from traffic delay.

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impacts of pollutants from diesel generator sets and vehicular traffic during the operation phase of the site the following measures are recommended for implementation:

1. Diesel generator set emission control measures 2. Vehicle emission controls and alternatives 3. Greenbelt development

Diesel Generator Set Emission Control Measure

The D.G sets to be used as back-up power have the capacity. The impact assessment indicates that the emitted concentration of pollutants would be well within prescribed limits; hence no additional emission control measures have been suggested.

Fire Safety

The development of Complex shall follow all guidelines as per National Building Code of India. The development in the Complex falls in Fire Zone No.-1 that is having institutional, Commercial and educational buildings. To deal with any incident of Fire, Fire extinguishers, Yard Hydrants, Hose Reels, Automatic detection system, Exit Signs Board, fire alarming system shall be provided in every building.

Vehicle Emission Controls and Alternatives

PUC Vehicles: All vehicles with pollution under control certificate is being permitted in premises.

Awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge on strategies and technologies for air emission controls.

Greenbelt Development

Increasing vegetation in the form of green belt is one of the preferred methods to mitigate air pollution. Plants generate oxygen, serve as a sink for pollutants, act as a barrier to break the wind speed as well allows the dust and other particulate to settle out there. It also helps to reduce the noise level to some extent.

EMP FOR NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

To mitigate the impact of noise from construction equipment during the construction phase, following measures are recommended for implementation:

Time of operation - Noisy construction equipment should not be permitted during night hours.

Job Rotation and Hearing Protection – Workers employed in high noise areas are being rotated. Hearing protection such as earplugs/muffs is being provided to those working very close to the noise generating machinery.

Regular Maintenance: The mitigation measures shall include regular maintenance of construction machinery.

Operation Phase

To mitigate the impact of noise from diesel generator sets during the operational phase the following measures are recommended for implementation:

 Noise emission control technologies; and  Greenbelt development.

In addition to these mitigation measures sensitive areas such as schools should be designated as silence zones.

Noise Emission Control Technologies

It would be ensured that the manufacture provides acoustic enclosure as an integral part with diesel generator sets. Diesel generator sets is being enclosed in a suitable acoustic enclosure so that noise level at a distance of 1 meter does not exceed 75 dB (A) at 75 % load as per CPCB standards or is meeting the ambient standard whichever is higher. The mitigation measures shall also include regular maintenance of DG Sets as advised by the manufacturer.

Greenbelt Development

The Following species can be used as in a greenbelt to serve as noise breakers:

 Ficus benjamina;  Butea monosperma (palash);  Leucana leucocephala ( Subabual);  Mangifera indica ( Aam); and  Delbergia Sissoo (Shisham).

EMP FOR WATER ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of the water source, adequate control measures have been proposed to check the surface run-off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body. Following management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during the construction phase.

 There will be very little excavation as foundations are on piles. Excavation during monsoon season is being avoided  Care is being taken to avoid soil erosion  Any area with loose debris within the site shall be planned.  Construction activities generate disturbed soil, concrete fines, fertilizer, oils and other wastes. On-site collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of equipment wash down, and prevention of soil loss and toxic release from the construction site are necessary to minimize water pollution.  All stacking and loading areas should be provided with proper drains equipped with baffles to prevent runoff from the site to enter any water body.

Operation Phase

As discussed earlier, ground water would be main source of water supply. Hence to optimize use of water resources, a sustainable ground water extraction plan is being evolved with a careful look at the water demand of the project in its operational phase. Water conservation and development measures shall be taken including all possible potential for reuse and recycling of water. These could be in the form of following

 Development of water sources  Minimizing water consumption  Promoting reuse of water after treatment

Water Source Development

Water source development shall be practiced by adoption of scientifically design rainwater harvesting system. The water is being used for recharge of aquifers. Rainwater harvesting promotes self-sufficiency and fosters an appreciation for water as a resource.

Minimizing Water Consumption

Water consumption is being minimizing by a combination of water saving devices and other domestic water conservation measures. Furthermore, to ensure ongoing water conservation, an awareness Programme is being introduced for all the residents. Following section discusses the specific measures, which shall be implemented.

Domestic and Commercial Usage

 Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures (ultra flow toilets and urinals, low flow sinks, water efficient dishwashers and washing machines). Water efficient plumbing fixtures use less water with no marked reduction in quality and service.  Leak detection and repair techniques  Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than to use hose for external areas;  Meter water usage; employ measurement and verification methods.

24 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

 Monitoring Water use is a precursor for management  Awareness campaign to disseminate knowledge on strategies and technologies that can be used for water conservation.

Horticulture

 Drip irrigation system shall be used for the lawns and other green areas. Drip irrigation can save between 15-40 % of the water use, compared with other watering techniques.  Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones to match precipitation heads and emitters.  Use of low-volume, low-angle sprinklers for lawn area are being provided.  Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture sensors to account for seasonal variation, and calibrate them during commissioning.  Place 3 to 5 in. of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation.

Storm Water Management

As discussed earlier most of the storm water produced on site is being harvested for ground water recharge, thus proper management of this resources is must to ensure that it is free of contamination.

Contamination of storm water is possible from the following sources

 Silt from soil erosion in gardens  Spillage of sludge from sludge drying area of Sewage

As detailed “Storm Water Management Plan” is being developed. This will consider the above sources. The run off from landscaped, roof top and complex‟s would be used for recharging the deep strata from which groundwater is to be extracted in the proposed site. The design of pits is being done taking into consideration retention time for the run-off water in the harvesting pit.

The plan will incorporate best management practices which will include following:

 Regular inspection and clearing of storm drains and all covered drains.  Cover waste storage areas.  Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season  Secondary containment any dykes in fuel/ oil storage facilities  Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness  Preparation of spill response plan, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.  Provision of slit traps in storm water drains  Good housing in the above areas.

EMP FOR LAND ENVIRONMENT

Construction Phase

As discussed earlier waste generated from construction activity includes construction debris, Biomass from land cleaning activities, waste from labour camp, and hazardous waste. Following section discusses management of each type of waste. Besides waste generation management of topsoil is an important area of concern.

25 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

Construction Debris

Construction Debris is bulky and heavy re-utilization and recycling is an important strategy for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute the majority of waste generated, recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for new construction activity. This is particularly applicable for proposed project as the construction is to be completed in progressive stages.

Recycled aggregate is being used for filter application, and as a sub-base for road construction. Mixed debris with highs gypsum, plaster, shall not be used as fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and is being given to recyclers.

Metal scarp from structural steel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work shall be removed from the site by construction contractors. A significant portion of wood scarp can be reused on site. Recyclable waste such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc. shall be sold to recyclers.

Hazardous waste

Construction sites are sources by many toxic substances, such as paints, solvents, wood preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Hazardous waste generated during construction phase shall be stored in sealed containers, labeled, and disposed of as required by the Hazardous Waste Management and Handling Act Amendment Rules 2003.

Some management practices being used are;

 No painting of external walls is required as permanent finish is being provided.  Herbicide and pesticide will not be over applied ( small-scale applications) and not applied prior to rain  Paintbrushes and equipment for water and oil based paints shall be cleaned within a contained area and shall not be allowed to contaminate site soils, watercourses, or drainage systems.  Provide adequate hazardous waste storage facilities, hazardous waste collection containers are conveniently located and designed hazardous waste storage areas are away from storm drains or watercourses.  Segregate potentially hazardous waste from non-hazardous construction site debris.  Clearly label all hazardous waste containers with the waste being stored and the date of generation. Preferably, these will return back to the manufactures.  Educate employees and subcontractors on hazardous waste storage and disposal procedures.  Instruct employees and subcontractors in identification of hazardous and solid waste.

Even with careful management, some of these substances are released into air, soil and water, and many are hazardous to workers. For these reasons, the best choice is to avoid their use as much as possible by using low toxicity substitutes and low VOC (volatile organic compound) paints.

Top Soil Management

To minimize disruption of soil and for conservation of top soil, the contractor shall take the top soil out separately and stockpile it. After the construction activity is over, top soil shall be utilized for landscaping activity. Other measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion and contamination include

26 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

 Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt development  Removal of as little vegetation as possible during the development, and revegetation of bare areas after the project.  Working in small area at a point of time ( Phase wise construction)  Construction of erosion prevention trough/berms

Operational Stage

The philosophy of solid waste management at the propose project is being to encourage the four R‟s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery (materials & energy). This will result in lesser reliance on land filling. Regular public awareness meetings are being conducted to involve the residents in the proper segregation, storage, recycling and individual composting options and techniques.

Collection and Transportation

 During the collection stage, the bio-degradable and non-recyclable/non-biodegradable waste is being transported to the landfill site. Biodegradable waste is being composted.  To minimize littering and Odour, waste is being stored in well-designed containers/bins that is being located at strategic locations to minimize disturbance in traffic flow.

Disposal

With regards to the disposal/treatment of waste, Complex management will use the facilities of Dehradun Authority.

EMP FOR ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Housing construction changes the natural environment. But housing also creates a built environment for its inhabitants. The project requires the implementation of following choices exclusively or in combination.

A) Construction Phase

 Restriction of construction phase to defined project areas, which are ecologically less sensitive.  Restriction on location of labour camps and offices for project staff near the project area to avoid human introduced secondary additional impacts on the flora and fauna species.  Cutting, uprooting, pruning of trees or small trees present in and around the project site of cooking, burning or heating purposes by the laborers is being prohibited and suitable.

Operation Phase

Enhancement of current ecology at the proposed project site will entail the following measures:

 landscaping  Green Belt Development  Park & avenue plantation

27 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

The section below summarizes the techniques to be applied to achieve the above objective.

Land Scaping

Selection of the plant species is being based on their adaptability to the existing geographical conditions and the vegetation composition of the forest type of the region.

During the development of the green belt, it has to be emphasized that those native plant species should be planted which are having good ornamental values and fast growing with excellent canopy cover.

Green Belt Development Plan

The Plantation matrix adopted for the Green Belt development includes pits 0.3 m x 0.3 m x 0.3 m or more in size with spacing of 2 m x 2 m. In addition, earth filling and manure may be also required for the proper nutritional balance and nourishment of the sampling. It is also recommended that the plantation has to be taken up randomly and the landscaping aspects could be taken into consideration.

For the purpose of pollution attenuation, the green belt shall be developed in three tires as stated below:

First Tier – Shrubs species having good levels of air pollution tolerance limits which is referred to as Tolerance zone.

1. Broken or interrupted: The branching pattern and canopy formation is not uniform e.g. palm varieties. In between the shrubs species at regular intervals in the first tier.

2. Drooping canopy: The branches and leaves droop downwards e.g. Polyalthia long folia. In between the shrubs in the first tier.

Second Tier – Trees having fast growth potential with conical canopy called dispersion zone:

1. Rotund type: The shape of the crown is more or less rounded; branches and leaves are closely arranged e.g. Ficus species. Suitable for second and third tier.

2. Flat topped canopy: The branches of the crown uniformly given flat tapped crown and the spread of the crown are wide to cover a wide area. E.g. Cassia fistula.

Third Tier - Trees having hairy leaves with thick and round canopy called as absorption zone.

1. Cylindrical Type: The branches and leaves form a close network and given the longitudinal spread. E.g. Delbergia species. In between the trees in the third tier.

2. Chimney Type: The branches give the appearance of long chimney. E.g. Polyalthia longifolia. Outer rows of the third tier.

3. Conical Type: The growth of main stem and horizontal branches appear in the form of a cone e.g. Casuarinas. Peripheral rows of the third tier.

Selection of plant species for Green Belt Development

The selection of plant species for the development depends up on various factors such as climate, elevation, and soil. The plant should exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to be selected for plantation.

28 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

Garden and Avenue Plantation

Gardens maintained for recreational and ornamental purposes will not only improve the current ecology of the proposed site but also aesthetic value in the area.

Gardens  Ornamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for people to relax.  Suitable patches of lawns, rocketry with cactus and other small flowering xerophytic plants.

Avenue plantation

 Trees with colonial canopy with attractive flowering  Trees with branching at 10 feet and above  Trees with medium spreading branches to avoid obstruction to the traffic  Fruit trees to be avoided because children may obstruct traffic and general movement of public.

EMP FOR SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

The Social management plan has been designed to take proactive steps and adopt best practices, which are sensitive to the socio-cultural setting of the region.

Social investment strategy

Project envisages addressing the wider goal of environmental protection through a social investment strategy in the communities around the township. By investing in social project in the neighboring community, project proponents seek to increase the benefits to the local population and contribute towards meeting community‟s expectation of benefits from the project.

The concern raised by the local people reflects a demand for employment opportunities specifically for the women folk and also lack of medical services. The sources of income in the area are limited to agriculture produce. Thus the social strategy addresses the problems in the following ways:

29 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

Income Generation Opportunity for Local Community

Project proponents would provide an opportunity for employment of the local community as tender specification for construction and would include a favorable employment opportunities towards the local population. Specific consideration would be given for the employment of local, which reflect a low workforce participation rate.

The main principles are outlined below:

1. Employment strategy would provide for preferential employment of local labour. 2. General recruitment procedures are being transparent, public and open to all. 3. Recruitment procedures are being publicized in advance. 4. There is being no discrimination on basis of gender, caste or other factors.

Contractors would be to abide to employment priority towards locals and abide by the Indian labour laws regarding standards on employee terms and conditions.

Improved Working conditions

The project proponents would provide safe working conditions for the labour and other workers employed at the facility during construction phase. Conditions of employment should address issues like minimum wages and medical care for the workers.

Education

Primary education facilities exist in all the villages but no formal higher education facilities exist especially for the girl children. Therefore, in all the study villages, the respondents were of the view that dropout rate after primary education is very high since there is no higher education facility available within the village and the women are discouraged to travel outside due to safety concerns. Therefore these features should be considered in the social management plan.

The social development cell of the project proponents can undertake a social welfare project to educate people of different age groups in the region. The Programme would look at addressing the issue of dropout students by mobilizing them and providing them with an alternative education facility in the village.

Under this Programme, the cell will look at facilitating linkages with NGO‟s to run night schools or adult schools for women and children.

Infrastructure Development

The project is an initiative to enhance the infrastructure in the area. The project will involve up gradation and street lighting of the approach road to the township. In the due course the locals falling in the say to the worship are likely to be benefited from this facility. This would encourage further development in the surroundings.

EMP FOR ENERGY CONSERVATION

Energy conservation is being one of the focuses during the complex planning and operation stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following.

Architectural design

 Public areas are being cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air-conditioning.  Maximize the use of natural lighting through design

30 “M/s Rusan Pharma Pvt. Ltd.” at 122 MI, Central Hope Town, Behind Pharma city, Selaqui, Tehsil – Vikasnagar, Distt. DehraDun, Uttarakhand.

 Passive solar cooling utilizing building shading through overhangs.

Energy Saving Practices

 Promoting use of solar water heating  Purchase of energy efficient appliances  Constant monitoring of energy consumption and defining targets for energy conservation  Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy used for desired comfort levels.  Use of compact fluorescent lamps and low voltage lighting.
