SEWAGE TREATMENT TECHNOLOGY It is proposed to install a MBBR Technology Sewage Treatment Plant cap. 230 KLD in the complex which will receive raw sewage from domestic consumption points and the recycled water is proposed to be used for horticulture, flushing & AC/DG cooling tower make-up purposes. The proposed MBBR based STP will be based on moving bed technology with fixed film media made of small plastic materials that are freely moving and non-clogging type. This will help in reduction of reactor volumes and retention times thereby leading to space optimization. The basic advantage will be continuous operating non-clogging bio film reactor which does not require back-washing, has low head loss and provides high specific bio film surface area. This will be achieved by having the biomass grow on small carrier elements that move along with the water in the reactor. The movement within the reactor shall be generated by aeration in the aerobic reactor. The bio-film carriers shall be made of special grade plastic having density close to that of water. Apart from a compact plant, the proposed technology will employ fixed film principle of the attached growth process which is expected to make the plant more user- friendly as it does not require sludge recycle. The absence of sludge recycle shall free the operator from the enormous task of measurement and monitoring MLSS levels in the tank and adjusting recycle ratios continuously, due to fluctuating inlet COD loads. In addition, due to fixed film, these plants can accept shock loads much better than those employed for suspended growth process. Lastly, this technology will also ensure much smaller quantity of sludge which will not require any further treatment.

RAIN WATER HARVESTING

The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any collection/stagnation and flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off depends upon many factors such as intensity and duration of precipitation, characteristics of the tributary area and the time required for such flow to reach the drains. All building roof water will be brought down through rain water pipes. The drains shall be located near the carriage way along either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall run off from roads shall flow towards the drains. Storm water from various areas will be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins andrecharge pits at regular intervals for rain water harvesting. Rain water harvesting has been catered to and designed as per the guideline of CGWA. Peak hourly rainfall has been considered as 30 mm/hr. The recharge pit of 3m diameter and 2.5 m effective depth is constructed for recharging the water. The ground water level in the area is 8.0 meters bgl. At the bottom of the recharge pit, a filter media is provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. Design specifications of the rain water harvesting plan are as follows:

. Catchments/roofs would be accessible for regular cleaning. . The roof will have smooth, hard and dense surface which is less likely to be damaged allowing release of material into the water. Roof painting has been avoided since most paints contain toxic substances and may peel off. . No sewage or wastewater would be admitted into the system. . No wastewater from areas likely to have oil, grease, or other pollutants has been connected to the system.

GREEN AREA A combination of evergreen and ornamental flowering trees, palms, shrubs and ground covers will be planted along the sides of the roads and in open spaces & set back area within the project. Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place. Proper landscaping reduces direct sun from striking the buildings and heating up building surfaces, prevents reflected light carrying heat into a building from the ground or surfaces, creates different airflow patterns

45 | P a g e

and can be used to direct or divert the wind advantageously by causing a pressure difference. Shade created by trees and the effects of grass and shrubs reduce air temperature adjoining the building and provide evaporative cooling. A study shows that the ambient air under a tree is 20C to 2.50C lower than that for adjacent un-shaded areas. Parks & Avenue Plantation Ornamental trees with spreading branches, shade giving with colorful flowers for visitors to relax and suitable patches of lawns shall be provided. The following trees proposed to be planted in the proposed project. . 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. The selection of plant species for the development depends on various factors such as climate, elevation and soil. The list of plant species, which can be suitably planted, and having significant importance are provided in Table-8.The plants should exhibit the following desirable characteristic in order to be selected for plantation.

May and early part of June form the hottest part of the year. In May, daily maximum temperature is about 400C and mean daily minimum temperature about 250C and maximum temperature rises up to over 450C. With the advancement of the monsoon in June there is an appreciable drop in day temperature. January is generally the coldest month with mean daily maximum temperature at about 210C and the mean daily minimum is about 80C. The mean monthly maximum temperature is 29.40C and mean monthly minimum temperature is 120C. The air is very humid during south- west monsoon season and therest of the period the humidity is comparatively less. The mean monthly relative humidity is 69% and mean monthly evening relative humidity is 51%. Winds are generally light with a little strengthening in the summer and monsoon seasons. The mean wind velocity is 5.1K.m.p.h. Potential evapotranspiration is 1402.8 mm.

Drainage and Physiography The District of Moradabad lies within the great Gangetic plain and is demarcated into three Sub- Divisions by the rivers Ramganga and Sot. The eastern tract consists of a submontane country, with an elevation slightly greater than the plain below, and is traversed by numerous streams descending from the Himalayas. The central portion consists of a level ventral plain descending at each end into the valleys of the Ramganga and Sot. The western section has a gentle slope towards the Ganges, with a rapid dip into the lowlands a few miles from the bank of the great river. Ramganga, Sot is a tributary of River Ganges. Meandering streams with a few oxbow lakes have been noticed in the area. The highest flood level (HFL) recorded at Ramganga River gauging site Near Gurukul School, Katghara Railway Bridge is 190.5 m above MSL and for Gagan River at Gagan Bridge gauging site Moradabad is 192.7m above MSL.

Soil Type Soils of the City exhibit a wide variation in composition, texture and appearance. The area occupied by younger alluvium can be delineated along Ramganga and Dhela rivers draining the district. The younger alluvium is confined dominantly within the flood plain of these rivers. Older alluvium occupies the entire upland or interfluve area between the major drainage RamgangandKosiandSot &Ramganga. The soils are silty, clayeyand sandy in varying proportions.

Hydrogeology of Study Area 49 | P a g e

The district is underlain by alluvial sediments having thickness of around 1000 m comprising clay, silt and various grades of sand. Limited drilling carried out for ground water exploration down to a depth of 450 mbgl reveals the presence of potential aquifers with a marked change in sedimentation below 390 mbgl. The sediments down to 390 m can be broadly divided into two aquifer groups. The upper aquifer group down to 180 m being exploited extensively by state & private tube wells. The second potential aquifer group present below 180m depth, still remains to be fully harnessed for optimum utilization. For proper management of groundwater resources, it is recommended to tap this aquifer in future. Deep drilling below 400 m is the need of the area for proper understanding of deeper aquifers. Central Ground Water Board, Northern Region under its exploratory drilling programme has drilled 9 numbers of boreholes at Azad Nagar (Moradabad block), Bahjoi (Bahjoi block), Bhataua (Sambhol block), Budh Nagar & (Dilari block) and MaseriRasoolpur (BoriaKhera block), Budh Nagar ( block) down to a depth varying 50.00 to 350.00 mbgl.

The cumulative thickness of screened granular zones in these aquifer groups varies from 36 to 112 m. The average yield varies from 1445 to 5220 lpm for drawdown ranging from 1.85 m to 8.7 m. The specific capacity of tubewells varies from 222 to 1263 lit/min/m of drawdown. Depth to water level in the area during pre-monsoon period vary from 2.57 to 14.54 mbgl and in postmonsoon period vary from 1.70 to 13.69 mbgl. The water level is comparatively shallower in the vicinity of canal and in the flood plain of river Ramganga and its tributaries. The water level occurs comparatively at deeper in the southern west blocks of river Ramganga fallen in tehsil , Sambhal and Moradabad.

Geography and Land Use

(a) Geography Land is the most vital resource for sustenance of life and degradations of land due to industrialization, urbanization and population growth is a matter of concern. Therefore, it is necessary to establish the existing land use pattern to optimize the land use as well as minimize degradation due to the developmental activities.

The district of Moradabad lies east of the Ganges and west of the native state of Rampur. It lies within the great Gangetic plain and is demarcated into three subdivisions by the rivers Ramganga and Sot. The eastern tract consists of a submontane country, with an elevation slightly greater than the plain below, and is traversed by numerous streams descending from the Himalayas. The central portion consists of a l evel central plain descending at each end into the valleys of the Ramganga and Sot. The western section has a gentle slope towards the Ganges, with a rapid dip into the lowlands a few miles from the bank of the great river.

(b) Land use Main landuseof the district comprises agriculturaland with supporting single to multi–crop pattern, waste landandsettlement. Waste land is restricted as small patches in southern part;

50 | P a g e

settlements in small patches are spread all over the district in the form of big and small town ships and villages. The study of the landuse in the area enables on etcknowsabout the land that can be used for various development activities envisaged in post project scenario. It also enables to envisage the scenario emerging due to the interface with the various project activities.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT Introduction

Disaster has struck mankind from time immemorial. Disasters continue to strike unabated, without notice and are perceived to be on the increase in their magnitude, complexity, frequency and economic impact. These hazards pose a threat to the people, structures or economic assets and assume disastrous proportions when they occur in areas of dense human habitations. This has compelled the need for a comprehensive approach to prevent and mitigate disasters.

Disaster occurs due to

a) Emergencies on account of  Fire  Explosion  Electrocution b) Natural calamity on account of

 Earthquake  Lightning  Storm  Epidemics

58 | P a g e

Need and Objectives of Disaster Management Plan The Disaster Management Plan is designed to:  Anticipate the types of disasters that are most likely to occur;  Identify the possible effects of any disaster that may occur;  Identify the preventative and mitigating strategies to deal with any possible disaster;  Involve all role players in a coordinated manner to respond to the challenges posed in disaster situations;  Procure essential goods and services for disaster management;  Identify the weaknesses in respect of capacity and skills to deal effectively with disaster situations;  Provide essential training in skills and to promote awareness and preparedness in respect of the occurrence of disasters; and  Plan in advance the relief operations that may be required or to be exercised in disaster situations.

Identification and Assessment of Hazards This stage is crucial to both on site and off site emergency planning and requires systematically identifying what emergencies could arise. These should range from small events, which can be dealt with plant personnel without outside help to the largest event for which it is practical to have a plan. Experience has shown that for every occasion that the full potential of an accident is realized, there are many occasions when some freak event occurs or when a developing incident is made safe before reaching full potential.

 The assessment of possible incidents should produce a report indicating the worst events considered  The route to those worst events  The time scale to lesser events along the way  The size of lesser events if their development is halted  The relative likelihood of events  The consequences of each event

59 | P a g e

Disaster Preventive Measures It is not easy to control any disaster if contingency plans are not available. For effective control of disaster, adequate manpower, technical know- how, alertness and internal help are the prime requirements. It is always better to take preventive measures to avoid any disaster. In the project following prevention measures will be taken to prevent disaster:  Design, manufacture and construction of the building will be as per national and international codes as applicable in specific cases and lay down by the appropriate statutory authorities.  Routes for escape during disaster are provided.

(i) Guidelines for Disaster Management Plan

A Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is formulated for better and safe management. The DMP will include the following elements:

 Assessment of the size and nature of the events foreseen and the probability of their occurrence  Formulation of the plan and liaison with authorities, including the emergency services  Appointment of key personnel and their duties and responsibilities  Action on-site  Action off-site

Appointment of Personnel and Definition of Duties

Effective emergency plans require that, in the event of an accident, nominated individuals be given specific responsibilities, often separate from their day-to-day activities. The two principal people are the site incident controller and the site main controller. A Senior Management Personnel will be appointed to act as site main controller and personnel junior to him as site incident controller. The site incident controller will take control of the incident. He or she will often be the person in charge at the time of the incident.

The responsibilities of the site incident controller include the following:

 To assess the scale of the incident (both for internal and external emergency

60 | P a g e

Services);  To initiate the emergency procedures to secure the safety of persons and minimize loss of material;  To direct rescue and fire-fighting operations until (if necessary) the fire brigade arrives;  To search for casualties;  To arrange evacuation of the building;  To assume the responsibilities of the site main controller pending his or her arrival; and  To provide advice and information as requested to the emergency services.

The site main controller will be chosen from the senior management of the works with general responsibility of directing operations from the emergency control center after relieving the site incident controller of the responsibility for overall control. The specific responsibilities of the site main controller include:

 To decide (if not decided already) whether a major emergency exists or is likely, requiring the emergency services and the off-site emergency plan.  Continually to review and assess possible developments to determine the most probable course of events.  To ensure that casualties are receiving adequate attention.  To liaise with Chief Officers of the fire and police services.  To arrange for a log of the emergency to be maintained.  To issue authorized statements to the news media.  To control rehabilitation of affected areas after the emergency.

Procedure for Treatment

On getting a signal of an emergency, the site incident controller officer will take control of the situation. First aid parties will render first aid to casualties at the place of occurrence and those requiring further treatment would be transported to the nearest hospital by ambulance. The following phone numbers will be prominently displayed:

61 | P a g e

 Fire Office  Police Station  Nearest Hospital  District Administration

First Aid

It is necessary to give first aid to the persons injures in the disaster. Doctor and paramedical staff will be made ready during emergency. There will be adequate first aid facility available to meet the workload.

Repair Services

Repair of damaged parts of the buildings will be taken up. Essential public utility services viz. water, electricity and sewerage system will be maintained in the case of a disaster.

Fire Fighting Services

Required fire fighting arrangements will be provided. All regulations for prevention of fire will be enforced. The following provisions will be made like Automatic Fire Alarm and Detection System, Manual Fire Alarm and Sprinkler System.

Following three teams will be created:

 Fire Fighting Team  Rescue / Salvage Team  Picket / Cordon Party

In case of emergency different teams will perform the following duties:

a) Duties of fire fighting team

 On hearing the fire alarm rush to the scene of fire.  Try to rush the fire with the help of fire extinguishers, hose reels and hydrants (internal / external)  Act as per the directions of i/c Fire Officers at site  The members of fire fighting teams shall enter the building in pairs  The exit routes shall be marked  Do not open the doors / windows, it will fan the fire

62 | P a g e

 Direct the jet of water at the seat of fire  If the room is full with smoke, do not walk in it. Tie a wet cloth on mouth and crawl towards the exit.  Help in fire fighting to the Fire Brigade Personnel.

b) Duties of Rescue / Salvage Plan  On hearing the fire alarm rush to the scene of fire  Rescue the trapped person if any inside the building  Salvage the important documents / materials and keep them away at a safer place  Always enter in pairs  Mark the Exit points  Help the fire fighting team after work of Rescue / Salvage is over.

c) Duties of Picket / Cordon Party

 On hearing the fire alarm reach the site of accident  Cordon the area of Fire (Building involved in Fire) as some miscreants tries to steal the material.  Do not allow to crowd the persons who are not the members of Fire Frightening /Salvage / Rescue party  Keep vigil on all persons assembled at the site

d) Traffic Control

The free movement of the fire vehicle and ambulance at the scene of fire/emergency is very important and therefore, the security personnel on the duty ensures that all the roads at the scene of fire/emergency are kept clear and free from obstruction. Persons arriving by motor transport at the scene of fire / emergency will not be allowed to park their vehicle within 100 meters of fire.

Preventive Measures for Earthquake

An earthquake is a series of underground shock waves and movements on the earth’s surface caused by natural processes writhing the earth’s crust.

 The building lies in Seismic Zone-III. The building will be seismically resistant and designed as per the following IS: Code  IS 1893:2002 Criteria for Earthquake Resistant Design of Structure

63 | P a g e

 IS 4326:1993 Earthquake Resistant Design & Construction of Buildings – Code of Practice  IS 13920:1993 Ductile Detailing of Reinforced Concrete Structures subjected to Seismic Forces – Code of Practice

Contingency Plan

The following plan shall be followed:

 Plant fire fighting is activated  Site incident controller officer takes overall charges of the situation  Emergency controller assesses the situation for possible after effect of the fire in the plant and the surrounding areas likely to get affected  Emergency controller Informs local authority to send fire tenders  Emergency controller informs the people of likely affected area to leave the area and move to other area, if necessary  Controls the traffic and law and order  Arranges medical aid and for the affected people  Emergency controller arranges inspection of affected area to get the first hand knowledge of damages occurred.

Other Provisions as per BOCW Act, 1996

 Provision of Safety Committee Meeting.

 Safety In-charge wherein 500 or more workers are employed.

 Provision of Crèche facility wherein 40 or more woman workers are employed.

 Medical and first aid facility with ambulance and trained driver.

 Canteen wherein 250 or more woman workers are employed.

 Sanitary and safe drinking water facilities.

CONCLUSION The following can be concluded based on the proposed project planned EMP: . Project has no adverse impacts envisaged on ambient air, ground water, land &soil.

64 | P a g e

SITE, Sec-18

. Marginally noise level will be increased due to proposed project unit during construction phase but it can’t exceed above desirable limits due to management plan and tree plantation on periphery of boundary . Due to proposed rain water harvesting system, quality of ground water will be improved. . Socio-economic benefits in terms of literacy and generation of direct/ in direct employment.
