WATER REQUIREMENT ITS USES AND STORAGE FACILITIES
Water is the most important element in construction of buildings. In the upcoming building and construction project water will be required for the preparation of mortar, which is a workable paste to be used in binding building blocks such as stones, bricks, and concrete masonry units together, fill and seal the irregular gaps between them, to add decorative colors or patterns in masonry walls and for curing work. The water proposed to be used for curing and mixing must be free from high quantities of alkalis, acid, oils, salt, sugar, organic materials, vegetable growth etc, which are harmful to bricks, concrete or iron. Impurities in water can cause metal corrosion and bring in unwanted silt and clay into the concrete. This may adversely affect the hardening process of concrete and thus reduce the strength to a great extent. Hence, there is a need to ensure quality of water prior to its use in construction activity. It would be proper to test the water prior to its use in construction activities. Some of the major parameters laid down by the IS 456:2000 standards for testing of water intended to be used in construction activities are as follows: a) To neutralize 100 ml sample of water with 0.02N NaOH b) To neutralize 100 ml sample of water with 0.02N H2SO4 c) pH d) Organic solids e) Inorganic solids f) Suspended matter g) Chlorides and Sulphates During construction period water will also be required for human use. It will be required for drinking and domestic uses by the workers and staffs. The entire water requirement during the construction period will be met through supplies made in water tankers. This will be arranged by the building contractor himself when the construction work commences. During the operation phase the total water requirement will be around 850 KLD. Of this 375 KLD will be potable water and the remaining 475 KLD will be treated water. In terms of percentage it is 44.12 percent of potable water and the remaining 55.88 percent is treated water.
Page 6
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
The potable water will be supplied by ‘Drinking Water and Sanitation Department, Government of Jharkhand’. The potable water will be used in drinking and other domestic uses, flushing and other uses like Filters Backlash and Landscape Irrigation. The table below indicates distribution of potable water by type of use during the operation period of the project.

It is expected that 525 KLD of Sewage/Waste water will be generated and the same will be treated in a STP of capacity 630 KLD. The total quantity of treated water to be generated is 475 KLD @ 90 percent of waste water. The treated water will be used for flushing, horticulture, HVAC, road wash etc. The surplus water, if any will be supplied to the nearby construction sites and/or to be discharged into the municipality drains after obtaining consent from the concerned authority. There will be elaborate arrangement for storing of water in the project premises for use in many applications viz. drinking, dust suppression, fire fighting, flushing, landscape irrigation etc. For storing water there will be both Over Head and Under Ground Water Tanks. The Bulk (2265 KL) of water will be stored in Underground water tanks, while 634 KL of water will be stored in overhead tanks to be placed in each building block and auditorium. The capacity of overhead and underground tanks will be as follows: Table 5 (a): Capacity of Overhead Tanks (KL) Phase-1

Page 10
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A project site. The transformers will boost voltage levels and thereby decrease line losses during transmission. Besides the above one UPS of 1500 KVA will be installed to cater to the critical load in the Hospital.
CONNECTIVITY The Project site is connected by the State Highway-10 named ‘Medininagar –Balumath Road’. Other major roads found within 10 Kilometers radius are National Highway-39, National Highway-139. Ample numbers of public buses ply on Medininagar- Balumath Road in different directions. Daltonganj railway station is located at an aerial distance of 3.74 km in South-West Direction. The nearest Civilian airport is Bisra Munda Airport, Ranchi. It is located at an aerial distance of 147.56 kms from the project site in South – East Direction.
PARKING FACILITIES In the proposed Government Medical College and Hospital building there will be adequate provision for parking of cars and other automobiles. There will be surface and stilt parking at different locations in order to evade traffic congestion or clogging of traffic at peak hours. Two each of these locations are located in the front and at the rear side of the Government Medical College and Hospital complex. The parking plan has been so devised that at no point of time there will be traffic bottleneck at the threshold of a parking lot. The parking details are provided below: 1. Proposed Open Parking Area: 82 ECS 2. Proposed Stilt Parking Area: 32ECS 3. Total Parking provided: 114 ECS According to the ‘Jharkhand Unified Building Bye Laws-2016’ the minimum parking area for towns having population more than 10 lakhs should be one car space for every 50 sq. meter of built up area.
1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities, details of the existing land use and disturbance to the local ecology). The proposed Building & Construction project will be executed in accordance to ‘Medininagar Master Plan-2040’ of Urban Development Department, Government of Jharkhand, National Building Code and Jharkhand Unified Building Bye Laws-2016. The execution of the project will
Page 11
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A not cause any disturbance to local ecology and surrounding establishments. Also there will be no adverse impact on existing facilities like open spaces, community facilities viz trash pick-up, energy use, access to mass transport, use of water, management of storm water, neighborly interaction among residents, health of the community etc., available to common people and institutions located adjacent to the project site. The up-coming Government Medical College and Hospital building will be provided with all the basic utilities such as proper drainage system, sewerage treatment & water supply system, structures to recharge ground water aquifer, green area development and sufficient parking so that it does not produce any negative impact on the surroundings. The proposed project will have positive impact as the project site is a vacant land and will be developed for construction of Government Medical College and Hospital. The land use pattern of the area in the immediate surrounding is Institutional. The project will lead to development of Medical college, Hospital building, girls and boys hostel building, nurse hostel, interns hostel male and female, faculty residence building, auditorium, guest house, dean’s residence, MS residence, student recreation, internal roads and other facilities that the inhabitants require at their place of working. The project is well planned and equipped with all modern facilities. There will be open spaces and green areas. About 66544.92 m2 of the area has been exclusively earmarked for landscaping. The project will definitely make positive impact on the existing land use pattern of the area and will not cause any harm to the local ecology. On the whole there will be no negative impact on the environment due to construction of the Government Medical College and Hospital Building at the proposed site.
1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability? (Detail of soil type slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc may be given). No land disturbance resulting to erosion, subsidence and instability due to the construction of the upcoming Government Medical College and Hospital in Palamu is expected. From earthquake point of view the state of Jharkhand is divided into three seismic zones. These are Zone II, Zone III and Zone IV. Currently there are 18 districts in the state. Of these 2 falls in Zone IV, 11 falls in Zone III and the remaining 5 fall in Zone II. District Palamu partly falls in Zone III and partly in zone II, which are moderate damage risk zone and low damage risk zone respectively. In this zone the earthquake intensity on MM scale (Modified Mercalli Scale) is VII and VI respectively.
Page 12
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
However, to ensure no damage is caused due to earthquake all the buildings to be constructed in the project site will be 100 percent earthquake resistant. In this regard the latest provisions of Indian Standards Codes will be taken into account. 1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage system? (Give details on a contour map showing the natural drainage near the project site). North Koel River is flowing within 10 km radius of the project site, which flows through the outskirt of the Medininagar city. The shortest distance from the project site to North Koel River is 4.5 km. Amanat River, Maila River, Gursuti River and Jinjoi River are other major rivers flowing with in 10 km radius of the project site in North-East and North-West direction. Maila River meets Amanat River in North direction near the project site, Gursuti River and Jinjoli River River Meets with Amanat River in North-West direction and Amanat River meets with North Koel River in North-West direction from the project site. North Koel River finally meets with Sone River at Bihar-Jharkhand Border. There will be no alteration of natural drainage system in the neighborhoods of upcoming Government Medical College and Hospital at Palamu. The natural drainage system will continue to remain free from pollutants even after commissioning of the new building of the Government Medical College and Hospital.
1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-cutting, filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc?) The process of excavating the soil, transport the same to other location(s) and placing the excavated soil at the pre-fixed place is called Earthwork. In the proposed construction of Government Medical College and Hospital at Palamu, various equipments to be used for excavation of soil are Bulldozers, Power shovels, Scrapers, Dragline, Clamshell and Backhoe. Depending upon quantity of soil to be excavated Trucks, Dumpers, Tippers, Graders and Belt Conveyers will be used to transport the soil from the place of excavation to its pre-fixed destination. As cutting and filling the material in the project site is nearly at par, the need for movement of soil from the project site to other locations is not anticipated. For construction site earthwork calculation it is proposed to use either ‘Block Method’ or ‘Section Method’. However, whatever formula is decided to be used for calculation of earthwork of construction site it will be
Page 13
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A easy to calculate for both Cutting and filling. The Block Method indicated below is proposed to be used for the calculation of Volume of earth work. Volume of earth work = Sum of (Depth of cutting/filling* area of each block)
1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the construction period. Details regarding quantity of water required, source of water and mode of transport to the project site will be decided by the builder. As there is no water supply arrangement in the project site and no water pipe line has been laid down by Drinking Water and Sanitation Department as yet the water requirement during the construction phase will be met through private water tankers. Waste handling during the construction phase will be undertaken by the site contractor whose responsibility lies with collection and storage of construction and demolition waste generated at the site. The construction debris will be stored in covered yards. They will be segregated into re- usable and discarded waste. Re-usable waste will be used within the project site to the maximum extent. The discarded waste will be sent to the designated site for disposal. The Solid waste management plan for construction period is given below in Table 8:

Treatment of Waste Water It is expected that the project will generate 525 KLD of waste water, which will be treated in a STP of Capacity 630 KLD installed in the project site. The total quantity of treated water to be generated is 475 KLD. The treated water from the STP will be used in DG cooling, cleaning of internal roads etc. The surplus treated water if any will be supplied to the nearby construction site on demand; otherwise it will be discharged in the nearest municipal drain after seeking permission from the Medininagar Nagar Parishad. The water balance diagram has been provided in Figure 1:
Page 19

Figure 1: Water Balance Diagram 2.2 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a municipal source? (Provide physical, chemical, Biological characteristics with class of water quality). The total water requirement for the project is around 850 KLD of which 375 KLD will be fresh water to be supplied through Drinking Water and Sanitation Department, Government of Jharkhand. The remaining 475 KLD will be treated water. In case no supply is available from Drinking Water and Sanitation Department or it is available partially the project proponent will look out for other sources. Bore well is an alternative source for retrieving ground water to meet the water requirement. For this the Ground Water Authority has to be approached for their consent. The quality of water should be wholesome and clean. It will be ensured that the water collected from other sources is free from any pollutant and it is worth for drinking and domestic uses. Prior to supplying the water to hospital, medical college and every household in the project area the water quality will be judged from physical, chemical and Biological point of view. It will be ensured that the water to be supplied to the users is colourless, odorless and tasteless. Besides the above it will be free from sediment or organic materials suspended in the water. Chemically it will be free from arsenic and the Fluoride content will be low as excessive Fluoride causes dental problem. The water will also be made free from contaminants like nitrogen, bleach, salts, pesticides, metals, toxins produced by bacteria, and human or animal
Page 20
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A dung. The Biological contaminants are organisms in water. They are also referred to as microbes or microbiological contaminants like bacteria, viruses, protozoan, and parasites.
2.3 How much of water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater? (Give the details of quantities, sources and usage) The total quantity of treated water to be generated is 475 KLD. The treated water from the STP will be used in flushing, horticulture, HVAC, road wash, etc. The surplus treated water if any will be supplied to the nearby construction site on demand; otherwise it will be discharged in the nearest municipal drain after seeking permission from the Medininagar Nagar Parishad.
2.4 Will there be diversion of water from other users? (Please assess the impacts of the project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption). There will be no diversion of water for other uses. Greater emphasis will be given on increased supply of potable water and treating of waste water and use the same for all purposes other than drinking, cooking and other domestic uses. Economic use of both potable and treated water will ease the water crises as and when happen.
2.5 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed activity? (Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the proposed activity) Approximately, 525 KLD of wastewater will be generated from the proposed construction activity. The waste water will be treated in a S.T.P of 630 KLD capacity located within the project site. Sequential Batch Reactor Technology, popularly known as SBR Technology will be used to treat the waste water. SBR technology is a method of wastewater treatment in which all phases of the treatment process occur sequentially within the same tank. There will be no incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed construction activity because the entire waste water of the project will be treated through a S.T.P within the project area and the treated water from S.T.P will be re-used in various activities other than drinking and other domestic uses.
2.6 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities created.

Surface water in abnormal quantity resulting from heavy rainfall or snow is known as storm water. The storm water disposal system for the up-coming Government Medical College and Hospital project will be self-sufficient and there will be no stagnation or flooding of water. The amount of storm water run-off will depend upon intensity and duration of precipitation, and time required for such flow to reach the drains. The drains will be located along the carriage way on either side of the roads. Taking the advantage of road camber, the rainfall run off from the roads will flow towards the drains. Storm water from various areas of the project site will be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe through catch basins. In the proposed Government Medical College and Hospital project it has been worked out to provide fourteen rainwater harvesting pits at selected locations, which will catch the maximum run-off from the area. Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm water pipe drains will be planned adjacent to roads. The roof water from all the buildings will be brought down through rain water pipes. The proposed storm water system will consist of pipe drain, catch basins and seepage pits at regular intervals for rain water harvesting and ground water recharging. The Rain water harvesting system will be designed and catered to as per the guidelines of Central Ground Water Authority (CGWA). The fluctuation in water level is due to amount of rainfall received by the area and ground water withdrawal made from the ground water reservoir. At the bottom of the recharge well, a filter media will be provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. The design specifications of the proposed rain water harvesting system are as follows: Catchments/roofs will be accessible for regular cleaning. The roofs shall have smooth, hard and dense surface which, will allow the materials to release smoothly and there will be no damage to the roof. Roof painting will be avoided as paints contain toxic substances. All gutter ends will be fitted with wire mesh screen and a first flush device will be installed. Most of the debris viz leaves; plastic bags and paper pieces carried by the water from the rooftop will get hold by the mesh at the terrace outlet. To prevent contamination the runoff from the first 10-20 minutes of rainfall will be flushed off. No sewage or waste water will be admitted into the system. No waste water from areas having oil, grease, or other pollutants will connect to the system.

The entire project site will be provided with extensive planned underground drainage system with gravity connections to the Recharge pits. Overflow from last Recharge pit will be connected to Municipal Storm Water Drain. The arrangement provides appropriate protection to the site against flooding. The details regarding total volume of runoff and number of pits to be constructed are provided below:

Rainwater Harvesting Structures and their locations Number of recharge pits has been worked out to fourteen. Rain water harvesting pits will be located all over the Government Medical College and Hospital complex. The pace of Recharging will increase by providing gravel packed bore of 400 mm diameter plain and slotted pipes of 200 mm diameter.
2.7 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the 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? The process by which water on the ground surface enters the soil is called infiltration. The rate at which the soil is able to absorb the rainfall or irrigated water is known as infiltration rate. The infiltration rate is measured in inches per hour or millimeters per hour. The rate decreases as the soil becomes saturated. The rate of infiltration can be measured using an infiltrometer. If the precipitation rate exceeds the infiltration rate, runoff will occur unless there is some physical barrier. The upcoming Government Medical College and Hospital project shall have paved areas and thus the runoff from non-paved areas of the plot shall increase due to reduced infiltration. However, the increased runoff will not cause flooding or water logging as a well designed storm water drainage system has been planned. The runoff will be collected into fourteen rainwater harvesting pits for groundwater recharging. The runoff will gather momentum due to paved areas.
Page 24
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
2.8 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). The groundwater table is the depth at which the ground below is saturated with water. The groundwater table rises or falls depending on rainfall, plants sucking up water and topography. According to Ground Water Board, Ministry of Water Resources the pre-monsoon depth to water level in Palamu district ranges between 3.5 m bgl and 13.5 m bgl. During post-monsoon period, the water level varies from 2.8 m bgl to 8.85 m bgl. By analyzing the groundwater level for the period 2003 to 2012 it shows a declining trend in the range of 0.015-0.558 m/year in the district and a fall of 0.304 m/year in the Medininagar for the same decade. There will be extraction of ground water both during construction and operation period. The water demand of the project will be fulfilled partly from the supply made by Medininagar Nagar Parishad/ Borewell and partly from the treated water. Hence, there will be no adverse impact on ground water table, as it will be recharged by the Rainwater Harvesting Pits. On the other hand by making provision for ‘Rain Water Harvesting’ the storm water collected in fourteen pits will be recharged into ground water. The Total volume of runoff generated from the proposed project has been worked out to 4350.09 m3. This will definitely increase the ground water level, which is fast diminishing due to over drawn.
2.9 What precautions/ measures have been proposed to check the surface run-off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body? The following precautions/ measures are suggested to check the surface run-off, as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body: 1) Implementation of Flood control measures like reduction of stream velocity and land use controls to minimize runoff. 2) Erosion and sediment control by adopting contour farming to protect soil resources. 3) Land use control program. 4) Polluted storm water runoff can be harmful to plants, animals, and people. Hence, it is to be ensured that it does not get polluted by bacteria from animal and human waste, pesticides from lawn and garden chemicals, metals from rooftops and roadways and petroleum by-products from leaking vehicles.
Page 25
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
5) The runoff from agricultural land can carry excess nutrients, such as nitrogen and phosphorus into streams, lakes, and groundwater supplies. These excess nutrients may degrade water quality.
2.10 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). Most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested for ground water recharge. Hence, to ensure that it is free from contamination proper management of this important resource is a must. A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will therefore be formulated, which will incorporate best management practices, which are listed below: Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains. Installation of clarifiers or Oil/Water separators/traps system of adequate capacity around parking areas and garages as per requirement. Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season. Conduct of routine inspections to ensure cleanliness. Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas. Provision of silt traps in storm water drains.
2.11 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation). The deployment of construction laborers will not lead to unsanitary conditions in the project site as temporary toilets will be constructed within the project site for the construction workers and no one will be allowed to urinate and defecate in the open. Open urination and defecation is unhygienic, which causes health problems and pollute the environment. The waste water generated in the project site will be disposed off as per CPCB norms. Besides the above there will be daily cleaning of the project site. Dustbins will be provided at selected spots in the project site for collection of waste generated. Solid waste collected will be handed over to local authority responsible for waste management in the area. There will be provision for drinking water and bathing facility for the construction workers in the labour colony built for the purpose. All the above steps will definitely help the project proponent to maintain pollution free sanitary conditions at the project site during construction phase.

2.12 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).
The solid waste expected to be generated from the project will be mainly domestic waste and the estimated quantity of the waste will be approx 1781.15 kg per day (@ 0.3 kg per capita per day for residents, @ 0.15 kg per capita per day for the floating population/visitor, 0.3 kg per capita per day for Medical College, @1.5 kg per bed per day for Hospital and landscape wastes @ 0.2 kg/acre/day). The table below indicates the Solid waste generation under various categories.

Collection and Segregation of waste 1. A door to door collection system will be made effective for collection of domestic waste in colored bins from the household units. 2. The local vendors will be hired to provide separate colored bins for dry recyclables and Bio-Degradable waste. 3. For waste collection, adequate number of colored bins (Green, Blue and dark Grey bins separately for Bio-degradable and Non Bio-degradable wastes) are proposed to be provided at strategic locations in the court premises. 4. Litters bins will also be provided in open areas like parks and way side etc.
Page 27
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
Treatment of Waste
Bio-Degradable Wastes 1. Bio-degradable waste will be subjected to Organic Waste Converter and 20% of the subjected waste will be sold to the farmers for use as manure. 2. STP sludge is proposed to be used for horticultural purposes as manure. 3. Horticultural Waste is proposed to be composted and will be used in gardening. Recyclable Wastes i. Grass Recycling – The cropped grasses will be spread on the green area. It will act as manure after decomposition. ii. Recyclable wastes like paper, plastic, metals etc. will be sold to recyclers.
Disposal of Wastes Recyclable and non-recyclable wastes will be disposed through a Govt. approved agency. Thus the Municipal Solid Waste Management will be conducted as per the guidelines of Municipal Solid Wastes (Management and Handling) Rules, 2000.
Organic Waste Converter The decomposition of organic waste is dangerous both for human beings and environment. If failed to treat the organic waste at the right time it may lead to devastating consequences. The decomposition of waste will take place if it is left untreated for days together. Decomposition of waste will lead to release of chemical components into the soil and waterways as well as the atmosphere in the form of methane. Additionally untreated waste has the potential to become a breeding ground for diseases. Hence, treating of organic waste in a waste converter is proposed to be taken up on priority basis. A waste converter is a machine used for the treatment and recycling of solid and liquid waste. It is a self-contained system capable of performing the functions: like pasteurization of organic waste; sterilization of pathogenic or biohazard waste; grinding and pulverization of refuse into unrecognizable output; trash compaction; dehydration etc. Thus an Organic Waste Converter is the modern technique of solid waste management.
Benefits of Organic waste converter: 1. A Large quantity of solid waste can be converted into fertilizer by an Organic waste converter in a very short time
Page 28
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
2. The fertilizers so produced can be sold as compost to farmers for use in agriculture or in gardening 3. The Converter requires less space and its work efficiency is very high. 4. Less expenditure in Manpower and maintenance. The upcoming Government Medical College and Hospital at Palamu is expected to generate 525 KLD of waste water. The waste water will be treated in a STP of 630 KLD capacity. Sequencing Batch Reactors (SBR) technology will be used in the STP for the treatment of waste water. The Sequencing Batch Reactors are a special form of activated sludge treatment in which all the treatment processes take place in a reactor tank and clarifiers are not required. This process treats the waste water in batch mode and each batch is sequenced through a series of treatment stages. Various parameters to be used in treatment of waste water under the SBR technology are BOD (mg/L), pH, Fecal Coli form (count/ml) and Suspended Solids (mg/l). The treated water will be used in Flushing, Horticulture and washing of internal roads. A layout plan of the proposed Sewage Treatment Plant of Capacity 630 KLD is attached herewith as Additional Annexure.
2.13 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste used for flushing of toilets or any other use. Dual plumbing system refers to separate piping system for fresh and recycled waste Water. Installation of Dual plumbing system in each dwelling unit will enable the water supplier to supply both potable and reclaimed water to a consumer simultaneously. The fresh water to be supplied by Drinking Water and Sanitation Department, Government of Jharkhand will be brought to a consumer through a dedicated pipe under the dual plumbing system. Similarly, the treated water from STP will be brought to every dwelling unit through another dedicated pipe under the dual plumbing system.
SECTION 3 - VEGETATION
3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem with its unique features, if any). There is no serious threat to the biodiversity due to construction of proposed hospital and Medical college project. The project proponent will maintain the present biodiversity by development of horticulture and mass plantation. About 65.78 percent of the plot area has been
Page 29
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A earmarked for green development. Total number of trees to be planted is 1200. The details are as follows: Table 12: Number of trees proposed to be planted % to Total S.No Code Botanical Name Common Name Numbers number of plants 1 Ai Azadirachta indica Neem 150 12.5% 2 Ba Bauhinia variegata Kachnar 200 16.66% 3 Eo Emblica officinalis Amla 200 16.66% 4 Sc Syzygium cumini Jamun 100 8.5% 5 Al Albiziz lebbeck Siris 200 16.66% 6 Ds Dalbergia sisoo Shisham 200 16.66% 7 Ma Morus abla Mulberry 75 6.25% 8 Mi Mangifera indica Aam 100 8.5% Total 1200 100
The project proponent proposes to plant 1200 trees in the project area Both Botanical and common names of the above trees are given in the above table.
3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project) The proposed construction project will not involve clearing or modification of vegetation. Not a single tree will be felled in the project area. If need arises trees that obstacle the construction activity will be transplanted elsewhere after intimating the concerned authority.
3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important site – features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping creation of water bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale?) A Green belt will be developed all along the periphery of the project area. Besides the above there will be internal parks and lawns. About 66544.92 sq.m of the plot area has been earmarked for green development. This is 65.78% of Plot area or 87.45% of Open Area). The project proponent has decided to plant 1200 new trees. Of these 12.5 percent are Azadirachta Indica,
Page 30
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
16.66 percent each are Bauhinia variegata, Emblica officinalis, Albiziz lebbeck and Dalbergia sisoo, 6.25 percent each are Morus abla and 8.5 percent are Syzygium cumini and Mangifera indica. Furthermore, the project proponent has decided to protect all the trees both during construction and operation phase of the project.
SECTION 4 - FAUNA
4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna both terrestrial and aquatic or creation of barriers for their movement? Provide the details. There is no Wildlife Sanctuary within the Buffer area of 10 Km. radius of the project site. Hence, there is no likelihood of any displacement of fauna both terrestrial and aquatic or creation of barriers for their movement due to the construction of the proposed Government Medical College and Hospital complex.
4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details. Avifauna refers to birds. The Project will not have any direct or indirect impact on the avifauna of the area.
4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc. to mitigate adverse impacts on fauna. The human being cannot create corridors for the fauna but can protect the same if identified. The fauna build or change their corridors as per their convenience, protection from threat to their life and availability of food. It is therefore suggested that animal corridors should be protected by diverting the human movement. Any effort to build a corridor for the fauna will go in vain. Further, fish ladders are not applicable in the particular environment as aquatic fauna is absent in the area.
SECTION 5 - AIR ENVIRONMENT
5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed construction).
Page 31
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
The construction of the proposed Government Medical College and Hospital near village Pokhraha Khurd in district Palamu will not cause any significant increase in atmospheric pollutants and formation of heat island. The sources of pollution during the operation phase of the project will be vehicle movement and operation of five DG sets. A green belt will be developed all around the project site. This will act as settling surface for dust and there will be significant fall in dust level from air. The DG sets will be provided with stack height of minimum 30 m. The stacks will help release of gases at a height such that it will not have significant impact on Ground Level Concentration of various poisonous gases. As construction is a temporary and short period activity, the impact on air quality during construction phase is also temporary. Measures like dust suppression, development of green belt etc will be taken up to reduce generation of air pollutants during construction phase. Besides the above the ideal stack height will help to escape SO2 and NOx from the DG sets high up in the atmosphere. The Project site is an open land with few weeds growing on it. After the construction of all the buildings the heat reflection from the site will increase but green belt & lawns proposed to be provided will absorb the reflected heat and will thus neutralize the effect.
5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters. There will be no generation of smoke, odorous fumes and hazardous gases, either during construction or operation phase. Dust generation is anticipated while loading and unloading of construction materials, debris and construction activities and vehicle movement during construction phase. During operation phase dust generation will result from vehicle movements. Dust generation will be controlled by taking following steps: Covering the scaffolding Clearance of grass or weeds in the activity area Water sprinkling on unpaved surfaces in open areas Washing of wheels of vehicles Storage of construction materials, excavated soil and debris in covered sheds Regular cleaning of site Development of green belt during operation phase No open land will be left without vegetation cover & roads will be paved.
Page 32
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
By adopting the above measures, dust generation will be bare minimum and there will be no or negligible adverse impact. Five D.G. sets are proposed to be provided at the project site and the same will be functional during power failure. There will be emission of SO2 and NOx from the DG sets but the stacks of appropriate height will help them to escape high up in the atmosphere. This will create no impact on Ground Level Concentration.
5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement including the traffic management at the entry and exit to the project site. Adequate provision has been made for parking of cars and other vehicles in the project site. The provision for parking has been made for hospital staff, residents and visitors. Also arrangements have been made for smooth movement of all categories of vehicles and there will be no scope for traffic bottleneck. In the proposed Government Medical College and Hospital building there will be surface parking facility in the open area as well as stilt parking facility. For parking of cars and other vehicles twelve different locations have been earmarked for parking in open space and three stilt parking. Two each of these locations are located in the side of the hospital and near Bio-Medical Waste Building, ambulance parking area is allotted at the entrance gate of the Hospital Complex and stilt parking is provided on each residential building for doctors and faculties. The parking details are provided below: 1. Proposed Open Parking Area: 82 ECS 2. Proposed Stilt Parking Area: 32ECS 3. Total Parking provided: 114 ECS
5.4 Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks, pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc, with areas under each category. The internal roads of the proposed building complex are 6 m and 9 m wide. The roads will be provided with architectural divider and two way vehicular movements will ensure proper traffic management. The roads are provided with foot paths for pedestrians but no cycle track. There will be two entry and exit gate for incoming and outgoing vehicular traffic besides one Main Entry.
5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.
Page 33
Construction of Government Medical College and 500 Bedded Hospital, Palamu, Jharkhand FORM-1A
Construction activities and increased traffic movement within the project site will contribute to increase in noise level but the increased noise level will not be alarming. Following measures are proposed to be taken to minimize the noise generation and its impact on environment. Construction activities will be restricted during day time. Hence there will be no generation of noise during night time. Machinery and equipment to be used in the construction activity will be strictly as per noise standards. To reduce noise level and smooth functioning of machinery & equipment machine oil will be used as and when required. Servicing and maintenance of vehicles will be made at regular interval. Prohibition of honking at the project site.
5.6 What will be the impact of D.G. sets and other equipment on noise levels and vibration in ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details. During operation phase five D.G. sets will be made operational to encounter power failure.

SECTION 10 - ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP)y
10.1 Introduction Formulation of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is very important for implementation and monitoring of environmental protection measures after the commissioning of a project. The plan foretells in detail what measures to be taken to combat pollution and make environment clean and habitable for all types of living things. It also describes the cost component of each measure to be taken up. The cost of each measure to be taken for environmental safeguards is treated as an integral component of the project cost. Each environmental aspect is required to be taken into account at various stages of the project. The Environment Management Plan (EMP) consists of all kinds of mitigation measures for each component of the environment viz. air, water, soil and noise. It also outlines the environmental monitoring plan for compliance of various environmental regulations. The plan indicates the steps to be taken in case of emergency, such as accidents and fire. The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the proposed project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all stake holders are fully aware of potential environmental risks arising from the upcoming project and take appropriate steps to manage and control the same. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the plan and takes appropriate mitigation measures 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 responsibilities of key
