Need for the project Proposed expansion project is nee ded to serve increasing demand of proposed products from Indian as well as export market. The proposed production capacities are based on detailed market survey by CIL T .

Demand - Supply Gap  The gap between demand and availability of Agrochemical Intermediate is likely to increase over the years. The growing demand and supply gap would require increasing emphasis to be given to the exploration and production sector. This calls for such project s which can help in bridging the gap.  In fungicide, India is still better than C hina and Europe. In herbicide s and Insecticide s , the soil product is very short in India.

Imports vs. Indigenous production Proposed products are all of good export value. He nce unit will be able to cater to domestic market and also export whatever possible.

Export Possibility The products manufactured in unit have demand in international market also . Products have good demand of about 70% in local/ national markets and 30% i n international market

Site - level benefits  Possibility of expanding within available infrastructure

Executive Summary Hydrology and Groundwater & Surface water Quality  Geologically, entire study area comprises Alluvium of Holocene age and Sedimentary rocks of Tertiary  The short term ( 2004 - 2017 ) average annual rainfall is 731.20 mm. Maximum rainfall observed in 2013 is 11665 mm and minimum rainfall in 2012 is 402mm.  The Narmada river is the major river in the study area. Amla khadi, Van Khadi, Chhapra Khadi and Amravati river are water bodies m erging into Narmada river towards the North and northwest direction  Narmada Estuary is about 39 km from project site (Panoli GIDC) on west side. Finally, the rive r enters the Gulf of Khambhat.  The general topographic slope is in NW direction  There is irri gation canal network of Tapi and Ukai dams in study area.  The site does not fall near to the polluted stretch of Amlakhadi  GIDC estate of Panoli and Ankleshwar have structured network of storm water drainages connected to pumping station of NCT for conveya nce to FETP.  Common Effluent treatment and conveyance pipeline project of NCT is operational since 2006 in which insitu treated effluent from industries and CETPs of estates of Ankleshwar, Panoli and Jhagadia are collected through underground drainage and pumped to Fin al Effluent Treatment Plant (FETP) and final treated effluent is then conveyed into deep sea in the Gulf of Khambhat, where it is discharged through scientifically designed diffuser, where instantaneous dispersion and large dilutions exists.  Probable so urces of chemical pollutants in Amla Khadi are illegal discharges from industries of GIDC estates and overflow of effluents from ETPs and mixing in stormwater drain of GIDC.  Domestic sources of water pollution in village ponds and khadis include sewage, an imal bathing, clothes washing, domestic garbag dumping and surface run - offs from agricultural farms carrying excessive fertilizers and pesticides.

Groundwater status  The static water level varied between 3.06 m to 29.06 m.  The general groundwater flow is in SW direction .  M ajority of villages and towns in the study area use borewell waters mixed with GIDC supply water or after treatment in RO plant.  The quality of borewell waters sampled at users’end were found to be complying with drinking water standard IS 10500 : 2012 except that - Iron was exceeding permissible limits in samples of Kosamadi and Panoli probably contributed through overhead storage tank and BOD exceeding permissible limits in samples of Hathuran through pipeline of o/h storage tank. Suc h water can be RO treated and then considered fit for consumption and potable purpose .

Ponds  The ponds are used for animal bathing and clothes washing.  Garbage dumping and sewage water addition was also observed in few ponds.  Because of this, eutrophication of the level of moderate to high covering major part of the ponds was observed and the DO levels of these ponds were therefore low.  The ponds are now being considered for revival or restoration to solve the water supply shortages for irrigat ion.

Khadis and Canals Non - compliance in values of BOD & DO and Total coliforms of Amla Khadi (Nr. Piraman), Kondh Ki Khadi (Nr. Kondh) do not relate with the project site and Panoli GIDC estate. The canals/khadis do not receive any industrial discharge s and are primarily used only for animal bathing and washing purposes thereby causing eutrophication.

The site does not fall near to the polluted stretch of any river or khadi.  Amlakhadi stretch from pungum to bharuch ( about 9 km from project site towards NW ) is categorized as Priority class I polluted river stretch by CPCB as the BOD levels were exceeding 30 mg/L in monitoring carried out near Pungam village under the Global Environmental Monitoring System (GEMS) and Monitoring of Indian National Aquatic Resources System (MINARS).

Executive Summary

Reservoirs GIDC water collected from water GIDC reservoir water collected from the reservoir had Total coliforms higher than permissible limit for IS 10500 : 2012 and CPCB standard for Class A surface water owing to stagnant water. However GIDC water supplied at pro ject site was found to be complying as it is treated at GIDC’s treatment plant and then supplied to industries through pipeline network.

The site and study area are located at higher level and floods in Van Khadi, Amla Khadi or river Narmada during monsoo n flush the surrounding area s only for very short period usually couple of hours . This area is having moderate rainfall and there is no history of cloudburst. The land is plain terrain – no scope of landslide. The buildings are designed considering Seismic Zone - III which is not highly earthquake prone area. Surface water bodies of study area as per their locations from project site and site setting have least probability of getting affected by unforeseen events of surface run - offs or leakages from project s ite.

Soil Quality  Geologically, entire study area comprises Alluvium of Holocene age and Sedimentary rocks of Tertiary.  The general topographic slope is in NW direction.  Soil of the study area is of Clayey type.  The physical and chemical analysis of the soil samples indicates that the soil of entire study area falls suitable for agricultural purpose.

The noise level at project site remains within sp ecified limits as evident from monitoring by EIA consultant, and third party monitoring results.

Land use Pattern of the study area For determining the baseline land use pattern, at and around the project site, Land use classification is done on satellite imagery of IRS - R2 received from NRSA and reference to toposheet for the study area and supported with ground checks and ground truth verification.  Land occupied for agriculture constitutes about 6 1 % and within villages boundaries. Both Kharif and Rabi c rops primarily Cotton, Tur, banana and castor are taken in this region.  There is very little land covered for tree plantation near Piraman, Umarwada, Gujarat Gaurdian Township, Kondh, Bhilvada, Dinod, Nandav, along Kosamba - Moti Pardi road near Kosamba, alo ng side Amravati River near Dadhal, Chhapra, Divi, Mandwbuzarg, along Kosamba - Moti Pardi road near Kosamba, alongside Amravati River near Dadhal.  19% is scrubland i.e. it is uncultivated at area alongside khadis and canals and a significant scrubland is pre sent near villages Bhilvada, Gujarat Gardian, Dhinod and Bharan .

Siddhi Green Excellence Pvt. Ltd., Ankleshwar Page 32 of 334 Project Sector – Pesticide Industry – Sr. No. 5(b) of Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006

Executive Summary  9 % area is covered as builtup for habitation. There are 44 census settlements of villages and towns al l covered in Ankleshwar taluka, Mangrol taluka & Valia taluka. In addition to this, the re are 16 urban settlements in the form of townships.  Panoli INA and Ankleshwar INA are two GIDC estates covered in study area.  Apart from GIDC estates, there is private industrial estate of HBS Pharma SEZ Pvt. Ltd. just below Panoli GIDC estate as well as there are industries setup in scattered manner on Non - agricultural land alongside NH - 48 , SH - 13.  Amravati is another river passi ng through the extreme south west boundary of study area .  There is one tributary of Kim river, Gondhwa Nadi, passing through Sava, Moti Pardi, Kantva up to Siludi in the study area.  Village ponds are present in almost all villages.  There are three Khadis p assing through the study area with their tributaries : - Kondh ki Khadi (Passing along Bhilwada, Kondh Village, Jitali upto Dadhal where it meets Amravati River), Amla Khadi (along Right side of Panoli GIDC estate flowing towards Northwest meeting Narmada r iver near Alia Bet), Van Khadi (from Piludara, Umarwada towards southwest meeting Estuary near Samli, Kantiyajal, Jetpor village).  Tapi canal and Ukai Canal network is across the study area primarily covering NW, SW and SE quadrants of the study area.  Ankl eshwar GIDC, Panoli GIDC have water supply through Ukai canal network.

Ecological Information  The entire study area of 10 km radius does not include any Protected Area or any ecologically sensitive zone like National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, Biosphere Re serve or Community Reserve etc. therefore there is no potential threat to any of the terrestrial ecosystem in the vicinity of the area.  During the entire survey carried out in the 10 km radius, and having documented the flora and fauna, it was evident fro m the data that none of the species of flora or fauna belonged to rare, endangered or threatened category as described by IUCN.  The land use pattern as observed was that the major part of the land was agricultural land interspersed with fallow land, follow ed by industrial estate of GIDC, human settlement, and few ponds and major reservoirs and canals.  Eutrophication of the village pond was observed, though there were no discharges in that water body from any of the adjoining industries, but the point here t o be taken a note is, if any discharges are released in the natural water bodies, it could also lead to the eutrophication  The vehicular traffic movement through the area is indeed a direct and a continuous impact on the environment, resulting in both air and noise pollution.  As mentioned earlier that the entire study area did not show presence of any potential wetlands that could harbour the migratory waterfowl except for the Panoli Reservoir. The resident waterfowl was recorded in a scattered pattern as the study period was summer month. It is therefore recommended to conduct a winter survey so as to ascertain the occurrence of migratory waterfowl if any in this region.

Socio - Economic Environment Socio - Economic Status of villages and residential settle ments in the study area is established by : -  Collecting data on various aspects of social structure, demography, economics etc. from Census 2011 data available on its website.  Conduct primary socioecono mic survey of selected villages to verify and update i nformation obtained from Census 2011.

Green belt shall improve the air quality as well as absorb hazardous air pollutants including particulate matter. Consequen tly there shall be beneficial impact on health of manpower working within the site as well as surrounding residents, flora and fauna Ambient Temperature And Humidity Negligible change in ambient temperature and humidity near utility areas is envisaged as they shall be enclosed to extent possible. Safety People from majority r esidential villages of study area use NH - 48 for domestic transportation by two wheelers, buses, tempos, vans, rickshaws and tractors. The risk of accidents on this highway prevails as the truck load on this route ranges from 60 - 70% of total vehicle load . Increase in road traffic of trucks and other transport vehicles is estimated to be less than 8 PCU per hour against existing load of 2388 PCU per hour. Incase the spilled chemicals are not contained and controlled and released bey ond safe limits of toxicity or flammability, then the on - road population and human settlements, cattle, stray animals residing near the location of spillage may have acute toxic effects of particular chemical or thermal radiation effects from fire or damag e to life and property from explosion based on the property and concentration of spilled chemical There are high pressure and high temperature reactions involved in few product manufacturing processes. risk of fire and toxic release during reactions and handling of hazardous chemicals is low as PLC and partial DCS shall be employed for such processes. There is minor risk of fire and toxic release during handling and transportation of hazardous wastes thereby posing threat to nearby residential areas where such incident occurs. Health If air quality is affected adversely through harmful quantities of hazardous air pollutants getting added from source emissio ns and fugitive emissions from the site, there is possibility of health impacts on surrounding residents. There may be periods of loud and irritative noises which may cause discomfort to the working manpower during maintenance and troubleshooting activities Effect on agricultural production

Executive Summary Impact predicted The rise in traffic is estimated to be less than 0.5% and hence there shall be negligible impact from vehicular emissions and consequent release of PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx on agric ultural farms adjacent to NH - 48. All chemicals to be transported are stable at atmospheric conditions. P roponent shall ensure that they are safely transported as per MSDS. Hence, there is very low probability of chemical vapors getting released into ambient air beyond permissible limits and resulting in adverse impacts such as decrease in productivit y, crop failure, delayed growth on the long run. Terrestrial fauna Risk of accidents on NH - 48 prevails for cattle which are led by their caretakers for crossing the highway or walking along side of highway to reach their places of grazing. Risk also prevails for stray animals like dogs and cats which cross the highway un led. There are no endangered or protected species in the vicinity of transport routes or the site.

Greenbelt tree s shall provide habitat and food such as fruits, flowers to fauna of surrounding area such as birds, insects, butterflies, reptiles, squirrels, etc. thereby supporting the population, increasing the biodiversity in this region. Terrestrial flora The flora residing on greenbelt as well as surrounding the site might have adverse health impacts due to vehicular air pollution, if the concentrations of air pollutants increased beyond permissible limits. The rise in traffic is estimated to be less than 0. 5% and hence there shall be negligible health impacts due to vehicular emissions and dust emissions. Greenbelt trees shall be of various families and contribute in increasing the biodiverisity of floral population of the surro unding area by polination. Amb ient Noise level The greenbelt shall abate noise and prevent it from reaching to surrounding residents and fauna. Traffic noise As per noise prediction carried out for NH - 48 and GIDC internal road leading to site indicate that noise increment shall be less than 0.5%.

Soil quality Contamination of open soil around roads a ccessed to reach the site is possible if there is seepage of -  leachate from hazardous waste storage areas and  chemical spills and leaks out of improper storage and handling of chemicals There are agricultural farms along NH - 48 which is to be used for transport. Chemicals and hazardous wastes if spilled on open soil within site can also contaminate it and cause harm to greenbelt specie s as well as associated fauna. If the chemicals seep deep into groundwaters beneath the soil, contamination of groundwa ter and resultant health impacts on consumers is also possible. Pesticide residues can get mixed with agricultural soil by washing of crops during rains and during spraying on crops.Such chemicals shall cause soil contamination and further limitation of so il utility as well as possibility of leaching out these chemicals in to groundwater and surfacewater Surface Water quality Ponds of Bakrol village , Tapi canal stretch, Amla Khadi stretch lie within 2 km radius from project site in the southeast and east direction . Panoli GIDC has a well structured stormwater drainage around all industrial units and there is very less probability of surface run - offs reaching the ponds or farms of surrounding villages. Contamination of pond of Kharod is possible if there is chemical spills and leaks out of improper containers for chemical transport. Villages of this area use pondwater for bathing animals and clothes washing only.

Surface runoffs from the site if not contained within GIDC estate boundaries during heavy rains, which is a very low probability event, may seep through open soil into ground water can cause contamination of these water bodies if they contain –  Hazardous chemicals added through spills , leakages from equipment, pipelines, pumps and such other chemical handling equipment operations effluent overflow and  leachate from hazardous waste storages over uncontained area  chemical spills and leaks out of improper storage and handling of chemicals Surface run - offs from agricultural fields during rains may contain residual pesticides. Such water if gets mixed with water of lakes, ponds, rivers and khadis near the farms shall cause toxic health effects on consumers through drinking, bath ing and potable uses Surface Water quantity No impact envisaged on groundwater and surface water quantities since water shall be supplied from GIDC reservoir. However there shall be adverse impact on the flow and level of river or dam from where water is supplied to the reservoir.

2 . 14 . 2 Existing Effluent Treatment Scheme

Existing ETP capacity: 2 2 0 KLD Industry has full fledged QA and R&D department. Company has provided separate laboratory for ETP .

A ) PRE - TREATMENT IN PROCESS PLANT Specific treatment is given to process streams containing harmful constituents before sending to ETP units. At the Plant level, process effluent collection tank of 50 KL Capacity is provided.

1 . Cyanide bearing effluent: Cyanide bearing effluent is collected in one tank. Then it is transfer red to SS vessel. This mass is cooled up to <12 ˚C temp. Hypo is added until the cyanide become NIL. Only then the effluent is sent to ETP.

2 . Ammonical nitrogen effluent Effluent is received in SS reactor. At pH >12 , high pressure distillation will be carried out and all the amines are recovered. Then hypochlorite treatment is carried out up to ammonical nitrogen concentration < 50 mg/lit.

3 . Concentrated Waste stream (Non - toxic) Process effluent with high COD value (> 1 0, 000 mg/lit), is collected in separate tank. It is neutral ized by lime then Floccula nt is added for settling. Decant is subjected to Fenton reaction using Hydrogen peroxide & FeSO 4 at 4.0 pH. After that caustic lye is added to neutralize the effluent. Slu dge is separated in dewatering system. Filtrate having low COD is sent to ETP.

B ) TREATMENT IN EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT After the Pretreatment of effluent in Plant, Low TDS effluent streams are sent to ETP and high TDS streams are sent to MEE. The Plant p erformance is monitored round the clock by stage - wise analysis of samples by the quality control department. A 200 KL (100 KL A / B) guard pond is installed for emergency collection of treated effluent.

DETAILS OF EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT

PRIMARY TREATMENT This consists of Oil & Grease Pit, where all the effluent is taken in from the plants. The floating greasy material is skimmed off from the waste water, before it is taken for further processing in Equalization cum Neutralization Tank. After this the effluent is pumped to a primary settling Tank (PST), where the sludge formed in the treatment, is separated and the clear overflow is fed to the next stage, i.e. Aeration Tank. The Sludge is sent to the Sludge Dying Beds (SDB) for drying “OR” Sent to Filter Press

SECONDARY TREATMENT In the Aeration Tank, biological treatment is carried out by providing residence time and oxygen with help of Surface Aerators. After the aeration, the effluent overflows into the first secondary clarifier where the sludge is settled and separated. The eff luent then flows to the second clarifier, where further settling takes place. The clear overflow is then taken to the next stage, i.e. Sand filter and Carbon filter. The separated sludge from the clarifier is recycled to aeration tank to maintain Activated sludge. The excess sludge is sent to the Sludge Drying Bed (SDB) or sent to Filter Press.

Chapter 2. Project Description

TERTIARY TREATMENT The clarified effluent from the secondary stage is then passed through sand and Activated Carbon Filter where certain constituents are absorbed on the activated carbon. This results in further improvement of color and quality of discharge waste water. The treated effluent is then collected into the Guard Pond. The final treated effluent is then discharged to the GIDC pumping station through dedic ated pipeline. The effluent from entire industrial estate is received here and pumped to Final Effluent Treatment Plant (FETP) of M/s. Narmada clean Tech (NCT), Ankleshwar for finishing treatment and final disposal to deep sea. The discharge of final treat ed effluent is done through online flow meter and totalizer .

C ) SOLID WASTE HANDLING & STORAGE The solid wastes generated from the Effluent Treatment Plant are ETP sludge and evaporation salt from ATFD. The ETP Sludge and evaporation salt are packed in bags and stored on concrete (RCC) floor under shed at designated place with leachate collection facility. Leachate collected if any is taken to ETP for treatment. The sludge is dried in sludge drying beds or in Filter Press and then stored in covered shed.

Chapter 2. Project Description

Specifications of Advent Integrated System (AIS) (as given by proponent) 1) The process of clarification and bio - mass recycling is much more efficient and permits operating the system at double the biomass level (MLVSS) as compared to conventional systems. This implies that for the required performance, aeration volume requirement is only half as compared to conventional activated sludge plant. 2) There are no moving parts in contact with the effluent. Conventional plants have surface aerators, clarifier mechanisms, submerged sludge scrappers and sludge recycling pumps, all highly maintenance – prone equipmen t. None of these are used in Advent Integral System. 3) Since all processes are within a single tank, the system operates of its own without constant supervision. The operator has to check MLSS in the tank once and waste sludge once in a day as per simple calculations.
