1.0 INTRODUCTION Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is an Indian state – Controlled Oil and gascompany headquartered in , Maharashtra. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. was formed in 1964 with the merger of Indian Refineries Ltd. (Estd. 1958). Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (Indian Oil) is 's largest public corporation in terms of revenue and is one of the Maharatna status companies of India. A Govt. of India Enterprises involved in Refining and Marketing of Products. IOCL has been ranked 168th in rankings of the world‟s biggest corporations for the year 2017. IOCL have own refinery with capacity of 80.49 MMTPA for crude oil and petroleum products and 9.5 MMSCMD for gas. The Corporation's cross-country pipelines network, for transportation of crude oil to refineries and finished products to high-demand centers, spans over 11,220 km. Oil marketing companies have projected an increase in demand of in future due to increase in it's domestic & industrial use.

1.0 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT The Indian oil Corporation has 65% share of the bulk consumer business, and almost 6,400 dedicated pumps are in operation for the convenience of large-volume consumers like the defense services, railways and state transport undertakings, ensuring products and inventory at their doorstep. They are backed for supplies by 136 bulk storage terminals and depots, 100 aviation fuel stations and 91 LPG bottling plants. Indian Oil‟s Gujrat Refinery expansion from 13.7 to 18.0 MMTPA and fuel quality upgradation from BS IV to BS VI grades by 01.04.2020 increased evacuation of petroleum products from Gujrat Refinery to Ratlam Terminal by existing pipeline. Use of high quality petroleum products thus reduces pollution and improve environment. Also, this will reduce the logistics cost of transportation of POL products from to Ratlam thru Rail mode vis a vis pipeline mode and pollution thereby.

3.1.2 Baseline Data Ambient air monitoring was carried out at eight (08) locations. It has been observed that minimum and maximum concentration of PM10 is ranged between 50.6-88.6 µg/m3. The concentrations of PM2.5 vary 3 3 from 14.2-27 µg/m . SO2 concentration level ranged from 9.4-18.8 µg/m and NO2 concentration ranged 3 3 from 12.1-24.5 µg/m in the study area. Pb range 0.01 to 0.07 µg/m , As and Ni in PM10 were found below detectable limits. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere. Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from various sources, both anthropogenic and biogenic.

It has been observed that the Exceedence Factor for PM2.5, SO2 and NO2 for all location is less than 0.5 which indicates the overall ambient air quality of study area is low polluted category. However,

PM10 for all locations falling in the third category are meeting the standards as of now but likely to exceed the standards in future if pollution continues to increase and is not controlled. However, the locations in Low pollution category have a rather clean air quality and such areas are to be maintained at low pollution level by way of adopting preventive and control measures of air pollution.

3.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Eight (08) locations were identified based on the activities in the village area, traffic and sensitive areas like hospitals and schools. The day time noise levels in residential and industrial area were observed to be well within the prescribed limit of CPCB standards. The night time noise levels were well within the prescribed limit of CPCB standard, in the study area. One National Highway NH-31 is passing through these regions and having major traffic density. The Leq at above traffic junction was observed 72.9 dB (A).

3.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT

10 water samples were collected from various sampling locations, Seven (7) from each groundwater and Three (3) surface water sources. These samples were collected as grab samples, preserved, brought to the laboratory and analyzed for various parameters. The samples were analyzed as per the procedures specified in standard methods for the examination of water and wastewater published by American Public Health Association (APHA/IS 10500).

FAUNA IN THE STUDY AREA A baseline survey had been conducted in order to document the faunal biodiversity of the study area with respect to mammal, birds, reptiles, amphibians and butterfly species. Fauna is a gift of nature, and the different beasts and birds, forming part of wild life, need to be preserved. The wild animal and birds help in protecting crops, by praying upon worms and insects, which might damage them. The details of Fauna observed/reported provided in Annexure VII (c). Total 64 faunal species were recorded from the study area. The class wise species status as Aves (25), Mammals (12), Herpatofauna (10), Fishes (9) and butterflies (08) were documented.

3.6 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Socioeconomic survey was carried out to know the infrastructural activities amenities available within 10 km radius of expansion project. The information regarding facilities available and the opinion of the people was sought by floating questionnaires and interaction with the people. This is done for observing the impact due to the project wrt social aspects so that proper actions / measures could be taken up for the benefit of the people (economically and wrt quality of life) and the project.

4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Impact on Topography

Construction Phase

The installation activities include excavation of soil. The excavated loose soil will be utilized for levelling of low lying areas inside the plant. Thus, the impact on topography during construction phase is insignificant

Operation Phase

As the storage tanks operating will be confined in closed, leak proof system, no impact is envisaged on the topography during operation phase. 4.2 Impact on Air Environment

During Construction Phase

Impact of construction activities on air quality is a cause for concern mainly in the dry months due to settling of dust particles. The main sources of emission during the construction period are the movement of equipment at site and dust emitted during the levelling, grading, earthworks, foundation works and other construction related activities. The impact is likely to be for short duration and confined locally to the construction site itself. The impact will be marginal, and temporary in nature. During Operation Phase

 Stack details The stack details viz, height, diameter, temperature, velocity, volumetric flow and emission rates are presented in Table 4.1. Total three numbers of existing stacks were considered which is attached to the equipment through which the emissions are come out.

Executive Summary ES-6

EIA / RA STUDY FOR STORAGE CAPACITY EXPANSION AT RATLAM TERMINAL, INDIAN OIL CORPORATION LTD. (MD), BANGROD, RATLAM (457111), MADHYA PRADESH

 Resultant Concentrations

The predicted 24 hourly maximum concentrations for existing facilities for particulate matter, SO2 3 3 3 and NO2 were found to be 0.016µg/m , 0.42 µg/m is 8.5 µg/m and occurring at a distance 1.0 km at project site in W & WSW directions respectively as shown in Table 4.3. The isopleths of particulate matter, SO2 and NO2 representing the GLCs for existing scenario are shown in Figures 4.2 to 4.4 respectively.

The ambient air for particulate matter, SO2 and NO2 likely to be encountered in the operation of the project are respectively occurring with a concentration level of 88.6 µg/m3, 18.8 µg/m3 and 24.5 µg/m3 respectively (Table 4.4), which are included concentration of existing DG sets emission which are well within the NAAQS levels prescribed by CPCB. Hence it is inferred that considering resultant concentration levels, the pollution load exerted due to existing project is insignificant. 4.3 Impact on Noise Levels

Construction Phase

The noise generation during construction phase may have insignificant impact on the existing ambient noise levels. The major works associated with installation/ construction activities would be carried out during day time. The construction equipment may result in high noise levels, which may affect the personnel in the work zone. However, use of personal protective equipment‟s such as earplugs, ear muffs will mitigate any adverse impact of the noise on working personnel.

Operation Phase

The noise generation during expansion phase may have insignificant impact on the existing ambient noise levels because there is no major construction activity carried out. The noise generating sources are from DG sets. The noise levels are ranged from 75-80 dB (A) for DG sets. The noise dispersion from the plant units has been computed based on the mathematical model. The incremental noise levels were observed at proposed project site considering 100m x 100m grid intervals over an area of 1 km x 1 km study area. The maximum predicted noise levels due to various plant activities will be 58dB (A). The maximum noise level at plant measured is 66.0 dB (A) during day time and 52.0 dB(A), which has been considered as background noise level. Noise attenuation effects due to barriers like the enclosure, boundary wall, bushes and trees, air absorption, effect of wind, temperature and humidity, greenbelt were not considered for modeling. 4.4 Water Requirement

Water requirement is 3.5 m3/day during operational phase. Water requirement will be fulfil by three existing bore wells. PP has already applied for CGWA NOC. The project proposal is limited to installation of new Storage tanks for augmentation of storage to meet the increasing/emergent requirement during natural calamities and emergency etc. Water consumption due to installation of new storage tanks will not increase. Hence the water consumption of the plant will remain same.

The quantity of wastewater generation 1.2 m3/day under normal operation of the plant will not increase due to no additional manpower will be deployed for regular operations.

Executive Summary ES-7

Rainwater Harvesting Potential of the area:

The annual rainfall of the area is 954 mm. The rainwater harvesting potential is calculated as 262141.5 m3 annum. Considering 330 working days, the total ground water requirement would be 330 X 3.50 = 1155 KL/Annum, While the RWH potential of the area is 262141.5 m3/annum. The area comes under Non-Notified Zone of “Over-exploited” Category. The stage of ground water development is 104% which is self-explanatory. However 100% rainwater harvesting is suggested in core zone of proposed Petroleum Terminal Plant is suggested. 4.5 Impact due to Solid / Hazardous Waste Generation

Construction Phase

Solid Waste

Generation of solid waste in the form of excavated earth is envisaged during the construction period. There will be temporary piling of excavated earth and shall be utilized for levelling of the low lying area in the terminal. During construction of storage tanks, some solid materials are expected to be generated. The gas cylinders used for welding shall be returned back to the supplier. Cement bags, plastic buckets, coal tar drums, damaged tools and other containers are used during construction and discarded as solid wastes.

Hazardous Waste

The hazardous materials used during the construction may include diesel, welding gas and paints, etc. These have to be disposed carefully through authorized recycler.

4.6 Operational Phase

Domestic Solid Waste

The domestic wastes generated will be segregated at source. Domestic sewage generated disposed off via existing Septic tank and soak pit.

Hazardous and solid waste Management

There will be no generation of any Solid hazardous waste by the plant. Leakage oil recovery system and OWS are in place where leaked oil generated during maintenance activity will be recovered thru OWS and recycled back to storage tanks.

Hazardous waste Generation and Its Management

The hazardous wastes generated is petroleum tank bottom sludge, Petroleum tanks are cleaned once in five year , The type and quantities of Hazardous waste generated from various processes are minimum. Terminal has the authorization from Madhya Pradesh pollution control board (1234/HOPCB/HSMD/UR-15/2014) for Trans boundary movement and agreement with RAMKY Pithampur party (MPPCB approved) for disposal/reutilization process based on quality of waste.

4.7 Biological Environment

Construction Phase

The proposed expansion activities will be carried out within the existing plant premises. There is no forest land involved in project activities. During construction activities vegetation may be disturbed which can be considered insignificant impact as marginal vegetation clearance involved in terms of local shrubs, herbs and few stunted trees of babul species. Dust deposition on leaf lamina of surrounding trees may occur during construction activities.

Operation Phase

The risk of any leakages in mounded storage vessels is almost negligible owing to stringent leak prevention technologies. Thus, the probability and consequences of significant impact on biological environment not envisaged. There is no National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Biosphere Reserve within 10 km radius of the project site. There will not any significant impact on wildlife habitat due to project activities. In normal condition, no wastewater is discharged outside the plant. During mock- drill and in monsoon, the waste/rain water will be discharged through properly designed storm water drain after passing through vapour trap, thus, insignificant impact on aquatic ecology envisaged even in worst case. 4.8 Socio-economic environment

The project would create certain impacts which could be beneficial as well as adverse. It is necessary to identify the extent of these impacts for further planning of control measures leading to mitigation of the adverse impact.

Need assessment of the study area During survey it was found, most of the working population were belongs to labour work and income was less. Resources of income were less in the study area. Water facilities were not satisfactory because water Shortage in Summer Season. Overall study area needs developments in employment as well as in infrastructure facilities.

M/s Ratlam terminal Indian oil corporation Ltd has capacity Expansion plan, located in Bangord Ratlam tehsil, district Ratlam, State Madhya Pradesh. The proposed expansion will generate Direct & indirect employment indicative on the basis of skilled, semi-skilled and labour work. Due to employment generation and additional amenities quality of life of the study area will improve in future.

Quality of Life

Quality of life is a measure to know exact situation of villages/communities, It Includes income, housing, jobs, education, environment, recreation, health, and life satisfaction etc. To know quality of life in the study area, primary data collection through selected villages performed with structured questionnaires.

It may be concluded that POL product terminal, Ratlam shall not impart any adverse impact on physical features, water, and noise and air environment and would help in the socio-economic upliftment of the state and the country.

5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (SITE AND TECHNOLOGY)

ALTERNATIVE SITE

Ratlam Terminal is spread in an area of 97 Acres. The existing POL Terminal at Bangrod, Ratlam has enough space within its plant boundary to accommodate the expansion. Thus no change in Land use is envisaged. Activity in preoccupied area only is having expansion provision. Hence, no alternate sites were considered for the project. The land required for the expansion of the facilities is already in possession of IOCL.

ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY

The project proposal relates to enhance the petroleum product storage capacity of the POL terminal from 77,918 KL to 163,918 KL (Existing capacity 77,918 KL + Expansion 86,000 KL) by constructing petroleum product storage tanks of capacity 2 X 10,000 KL for MS tanks, 3 X 20,000 KL HSD tanks and 1 X 6,000 KL Biodiesel Tank to construct at IOCL Ratlam terminal. IOCL has mastered the art and technology of installation of POL product storage tanks. The E&P department of Marketing Division of IOCL has earned a good credential for installation of POL storage tanks. The above expertise of IOCL is well proven and workings efficiently at different locations of the country without fail. IOCL is having excellent track record and progressive outlook in regularly updating its technology. The technology adopted by IOCL for installation of POL product storage tanks is a fail- safe.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

Introduction

Risk assessment (RA) provides a numerical measure of the risk that a particular facility poses to the public. It begins with the identification of probable potential hazardous events at an industry and categorization as per the predetermined criteria. The consequences of major credible events are calculated for different combinations of weather conditions to simulate worst possible scenario. These consequence predictions are combined to provide numerical measures of the risk for the entire facility. MCA analysis

The risk assessment report covers the following in terms of the extent of damage with resource to MCA (maximum credible accident) analysis and delineation of risk mitigations measures.  Hazardous area – Gantry, Dyke, Inventory  Identification of potential hazardous sections and representative failure cases  Visualization of release scenarios considering type and the quantity of the hazardous material  Damage distance computations for the released cases at different wind velocities and atmospheric stability classes for heat radiations and pressure waves.  Drawing of damage contours on plot plan to show the effect due to the accidental release of chemicals. Hazard Identification

 Identification of hazards is an important step in risk assessment as it leads to the generation of accidental scenarios. The merits of including the hazard for further investigation are subsequently determined by its significance, normally using a cut-off or threshold quantity. 8 PROJECT BENEFITS

9 ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS

M/s IOCL has decided to enhance the storage capacity of the POL and storage facility for MS, HSD, and Biodiesel. After enhancement the total capacity of the POL will be 1,63,198 KL at Bangrod, Ratlam- (Madhya Pradesh). 9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE ENHANCEMENT (BIODIVERSITY, CROP PRODUCTIVITY, ECO-TOURISM)

The project site is well connected to railways and roadways. The proposed expansion is planned at existing IOCL, POL Ratlam terminal. Therefore, it will not involve loss of vegetation and biodiversity. The vegetation is similar in the whole area with no sensitive ecosystem or rare and endangered flora or fauna, hence no environmental loss will be there in terms of net productive value. The increase in production of chemicals will be available to the user. It will definitely boost the economic growth of the country; develop region and quality of life of the people in a sustainable manner without creating any significant.

The total project cost is estimated to be Rs. 236 Crores and expenditure on implementation of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is presented in Chapter 10 of this report. Besides tangible benefits, the project has got number of intangible benefits like minimum emission of the generated gases, no adverse impact on environment as far as air, noise and water environmental components are concerned.

10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
