3.6.2 LAND USE The landuse / landcover of the project site is studied to identify the landuse pattern and landcover pattern of the study area. The study of land use in the area enables one to know about 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 increase in demand for land with increase in population and the impacts arising due to the interface with the various project activities. Objectives of the land use study are given below:
To map the study area with respect to various land use/land cover change over the past 10 years. To identify the sensitive areas within 10 km radius around the project site The settlement area near to the project site covers mainly the institutes, hospitals, residential areas and town like, CKS Hospital, Malpani Hospital, Saroj hospital, Shanti Asiatic Schcool, Green Triveni Block , Madho Nagar, etc. The project site and its surroundings are mainly urban development area. Methodology: The landuse/landcover pattern has been established based on the analysis of the data received from satellite imagery by making landuse/landcover map with the help of GIS technique. Also the data based on Census of India, 2001 was referred and landuse study was done within 10 km radius area with limited ground truth verifications. Ground and ancillary information have been used to identify the sensitive places within 10 km radius of the project. Land Use Pattern Classification and description Land use analysis was carried out using remote Sensing Data. Interpretation approach based on systematic digital imaging was used for delineating the land use classes. The demarcation of boundaries falling under different land use/land cover units is done using different colours assigned to different land use/land cover units of satellite imagery1 Most of the land within the 10 km area of the project site is under agriculture. As per the land use based on satellite image, about 58.63% of the land is Agricultural land, 4.90 % of the land Dense Forest, about 11.09% Open Forest, 6.31% Open land (Non Agriculture land) and 0.03% is under Water Body of the land is under settlement, about 0.93% land is Barren Land and rest of the land is under other uses. Details on area on various land use are given in Table 3.3 and Figure 3.11. Land Use Land Cover map of study area is given in Figure 3.12. Land use of the project site is residential. Details of the land use of the site is given in Section 2.3 of Chapter 2 of EIA Report.

Observations The soil is in neutral range. The concentration of various physicochemical parameters indicates moderate productivity levels. In the study area, variations in the pH of the soil were found to be 7.55 to 8.02. Conductivity was observed in the range of 374.2 to 435.8µmhos/cm. The bulk density of the soils was found in the range of 1.36 to 1.48-gm/cm3.Water Holding Capacity of soil in the study area was observed as 29.5 to 30.6%. The organic carbon content of soil varied from 0.37 to 0.46% (0.64 to 0.79% as organic matter), thereby implying that soils are low in organic carbon contents. Available nitrogen content in the surface soils ranges between 268.5 & 278.2 kg/ha thereby indicates that soils are low in available nitrogen content. Available phosphorus content ranged between 17.2 & 22.5 kg/ha thereby indicating that soils are having medium in available phosphorus. Available potassium content in these soils ranges between 126.5 & 141.8 kg/ha thereby is indicating that the soils are with medium levels of available potassium content. Thus the soils of the study area are poor and moderate fertile. Soil quality analysis report is attached as Annexure XIII.

3.7.2 HYDRO-GEOLOGY Gneisses and schists of Bhilwara Super Group are the oldest rock types overlain by quartzites, schists, conglomerates, dolomitic limestone etc. belonging to Alwar & Ajabgarh Groups of Delhi Super Group along with granite, pegmatite & amphibolite intrusive of Post Delhi age. Hard rocks in major parts of the district are covered by Quaternary fluvial & aeolian deposits mainly composed of sand, silt, clay, gravel & kankar. Alluvial thickness is less in southern & SW parts of the district i.e. in Naraina, Sakhun, Dudu, Mozamabad, Phagi, Chaksu areas etc. Alluvial thickness between 90 & 100 m has been observed at Chomu, Jairampura, Nangal Bharra, Dhaunauta area whereas its thickness over 100m has been found at Risani village (104m). Groundwater in the district occurs both in unconsolidated Quaternary formations and consolidated formations of Bhilwara & Delhi Super Groups and also Post Delhi Granites. In greater part of the district, alluvial deposits mainly fine sand & silt serve as potential aquifers in addition to gravel zones encountered at several places including Sanganer. Shallow depth to groundwater occurs under water table condition and under semi-confined conditions at depth. Yield of wells in these formations ranges from 100 to 500 m3 /day. Depth of wells in the district generally varies from 50m to 100m in alluvium and 50 to 200m in combination/consolidated formation areas. Specific capacity of wells varies from 58 to 500 lpm/m. Transmissivity value and storage coefficient varies from 10- 2 -5 -3 to 850m /d and 4.70 x 10 to 1.05x 10 respectively. Depth to water level varies from 11m to 50m. Depth to water level in the central part of the area covering walled city, Amer, Jal Mahal is shallower i.e. below 20m and forms a mound. Groundwater flows in general from north to south direction i.e. along the direction of flow of Amanisha Nalla. Decline in water level during the last five years varies from 4.08 m to 16.45 m and rate of decline from 0.82m to 3.29 m/year in Sukhpuria area and MES, Bani Park area respectively. Hydro-geological map of the Jaipur District is given in Figure 3.16 below. As per the hydro-geological map, it can be said that project comprises of Alluvium sediments majorly. As per CGWB, ground water level at the site is app 20-40 mbgl.

3.9 NOISE ENVIRONMENT Noise attributed to roads depends on factors such as traffic intensity, the type and condition of the vehicles plying on the road, acceleration/deceleration/gear changes by the vehicles depending on the level of congestion and smoothness of road surface (IRC: 104-1988). High noise levels are a concern for sensitive receptors, i.e., hospitals, educational institutions, etc. The Central Pollution Control Board has specified ambient noise levels for different land uses for day and night times and are given in Table 3.12. Importance was given to the timing of exposure and areas designated as sensitive.

CHAPTER 4. IMPACT IDENTIFICATION AND ASSESSMENT
4.1 GENERAL The potential receptors of environmental and social impacts in project development are mostly the ambient air quality, ambient noise level, soil, water and solid waste management. Following section summarizes the potential impacts on the physical, natural and socio-economic impacts triggered by the project activities. The extent of impacts depends primarily on the environmental management practices that would be adopted during the facility operation. The various environmental and social parameters have been investigated to identify the impacts that are likely to occur during the development, construction and operation periods of this project. Proposed project will be developed and constructed gradually in the time span of 2 to 3 years. In development phase, basic infrastructure facilities like internal roads, rainwater harvesting, storm water drainage, street lighting etc. will be developed. For proper evaluation and assessment of the environmental impacts due to development and construction and functional phase of proposed project, understanding to the various activities associated with the proposed project is essential. Various activities related to the project would be different, in terms of nature during the development, construction and functional phase. The impact identification and prediction process aims to: Identify potential source or cause of impact throughout the life of project. Characterize the potential impacts affecting a target or receptor (physical, human and socio- economic). Assess the potential of changing the likely-hood of impact through Environmental Management Plan (EMP). Prediction of the impacts due to the development, construction and functional activities encompass the development process to be undertaken during construction and functional phases. For each category of environmental receptor (such as, ambient air quality, water quality, soils, land, etc) the potential impacts of activities during development, construction and functional phases and magnitude of the impacts have been assessed and discussed in detail in following sub sections. In each case, cognizance has been taken to mitigation measures inherited in the development, construction and functional phase. The baseline status of the environment at the proposed site and the surrounding study area has been quantified and presented in chapter-3.
4.2 POLLUTION SOURCES AND CHARACTERSTICS Pollutants generated in the development of proposed project during both construction and operational phases are solid, liquid and gaseous in nature. Also the generation of pollution could be continuous,

4.6 ANALYSIS OF IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE 4.6.1 LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.6.1.1 LAND USE PATTERN & TOPOGRAPHY Land use of the project site is residential as per the Master Plan of Jaipur 2025 (refer Figure 2.6). Permission has been obtained fom Jaipur Development Authority for development of the project. Thus impact of the project on land use is anticipated to be negligible. Topography of the site is flat. Elevation of site varies from 464-485 m amsl. Site topography will be maintained and no major cut and fill is required. Topography will be not be affected significantly due to project development. 4.6.1.2 IMPACT ON SOIL Soil will be excavated for construction of basements and foundations of the building. Excavation will lead to loss of nutritive top soil. Construction activity will disturb the soil profile of the area. Movement of construction vehicles and equipment will lead to compaction of soil. Spillage of construction materials like paint, grease and fuel like HSD may pollute the soil. Mitigation measures are required to be taken to prevent the soil pollution Mitigation measures The top soil is stripped from excavation areas (app 15 cm) and stockpiled for later reuse in landscaping in covered sheds. Remaining soil is stored separately from top soil and is used for filling the site, construction of roads, medians and pavements. Thus most of the soil is used for filling purpose Site is cleaned on daily basis. Debris and raw material which may pollute the soil are stored on the paved surfaces
M/s Suncity Projects Pvt. Ltd. Page | 91
Expansion and modification of Project “Suncity Township” At Village: Nindade, PS Harmada, near Sikar Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan EIA-EMP REPORT
HSD should be stored on paved surface and drains should be provided around such surfaces so as to drain out the spillage. Paints, solvents, wood preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants are stored-in sealed containers, labelled, and disposed of as required by the Hazardous Wastes (Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2008 and its amendments. Dustbins are provided at the site and labour hutment area for collection of the waste. Municipal waste from labour camp either is disposed off through authorized vendor. Temporary roads are provided for movement of the vehicles within the project site. Vehicle move on the routes designated. Further parking space is provided within the project site.

All the above mentioned measures will be followed in expansion phase also 4.6.1.3 AGRICULTURE AND CROPPING PATTERN Project site is earmarked for development of residential project by JDA. No agriculture land is being disturbed due to development of the project. Thus no impacts are anticipated on agriculture and cropping pattern. 4.6.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT 4.6.2.1 SURFACE WATER QUALITY Surface water will not be used for construction phase as no perennial surface water body exists within the study area. Only surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site. The impact to the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from excavated site, causing increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water from the site. However, this impact will be temporary in the nature and would be observed in rains only and as soon as rain is over excavated soil at site would be stabilized. Mitigation Measures No construction is undertaken during monsoon season. Garland drains are provided around excavated pits to divert the storm water from nearby area from entering the excavated pit. Curing is done during early morning and late evening time to minimize evaporation. Structures should be covered with gunny bags prior curing so as to retain the moisture Curing should is done by sprinkling to minimize the run-off. Sumps should be created around the structures to be cured to collect the curing run-off. Collected water is re-used at site for wheel washing at site Bathrooms and toilets are provided for construction labour with proper drainage system. No run-off should be there at site due to bathing and washing in open. Septic tanks and soak pits are provided for disposal of sewage generated at site to prevent contamination of run-off and mixing of sewage with water.

Raw material is stored in covered areas to the extent possible or is covered with tarpaulin covers to avoid their mixing with run-off Drains are provided with the diesel storage area. These drains are provided with oil interceptor to remove the oil from run-off before discharging. All the above mentioned measures will be followed in expansion phase also
4.6.2.2 HYDROLOGY No perennial water body exists within the project site and study area. No interference with any water body will be done for project development. Thus no impacts on the surface water hydrology are anticipated due to project development.
4.6.2.3 GROUNDWATER QUALITY It is anticipated that approx 250-300 laborers would get engaged during construction. Source of water is private water tanker supply. Thus no impact on ground water is anticipated due to project development. STP treated water from GH-3 and nearby housings can also be taken for meeting construction water requirement. App. 13 KLD of wastewater may generate at site from toilets and bathrooms at site. This wastewater will be disposed off through septic tanks & soak pits. Storage of waste, debris, hazardous waste/material, fuel on unpaved areas may lead to leaching of these substances into the ground water table thereby polluting the ground water. No other major impacts are anticipated on ground water quality during construction phase. Following measures should be taken to prevent ground water pollution
Mitigation Measures: No waste material, fuel, paints, emulsions and such raw material is stored on unpaved area Proper waste management system is followed at site for municipal waste, hazardous waste and e- waste. Mobile toilets and bathrooms are provided at site for construction labour with proper drainage system Wastewater from the toilets and bathrooms is disposed-off through septic tanks & soak pits. Septic tanks are lined properly All the above mentioned measures will be followed in expansion phase also

4.6.5 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT No significant flora & fauna is present at site. Construction of 45192.04 sq. m. is already carried out at site. No wildlife movement is observed at site as site. Thus no impacts are anticipated on biological environment. However it is proposed to develop green belt and organized green area within the project site. Green area will cover 390524.9 sq m area, i.e. 30.6 % of plot area. It is proposed to initiate tree plantation at site during construction phase. Green belt acts as noise buffer. App 15974 trees will be planted at site. 4.6.6 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS Project development involves transportation of material and construction activities. Construction activities have their impacts on surroundings like unpleasant view, increased traffic, increased noise, emissions, waste generation & piling of waste etc. All these have mal impacts on the society. However construction phase will generate employment options for skilled and unskilled labour. It Local labour was hired to the extent possible for existing phase and same will be followed for expansion phase as well. Following measures should be taken to minimize the negative impacts on society: Construction activities involve various risks for construction labour like slip, fall, fire, collapse of structure etc. Accidents at construction site can be fatal not only for workers but for the residents of nearby areas. Following measures should be taken to minimize impact on socio-economic environment Mitigation measures proposed for pollution control are adequately followed Hygienic conditions are maintained at site by provision of dustbins at site for collection of waste, regular cleaning of site, provision of toilets at site, regular disposal of construction spoils, avoiding stockpiling of construction material at site etc. Barricading the site to obstruct the unpleasant view Following the occupational health & safety management plan which is as follows: Provision of PPE to the workers like helmets, safety jackets, masks, ear plugs, gum boots etc. Provision of neat and clean living space for construction labour Adequate illumination should be provided at site and in labour camps, if any Clean drinking water facility is provided for construction labour Toilets and bathing facility is provided at the site to prevent open defecation and unhygienic conditions at site Proper drainage and wastewater collection is provided at the site.

4.7 ASSESSMENT OF THE ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING POST CONSTRUCTION PHASE 4.7.1 LAND ENVIRONMENT 4.7.1.1 LAND USE PATTERN & TOPOGRAPHY No impact on land use and topography are anticipated during operation Phase 4.7.1.2 SOIL Soil erosion may happen, if open areas are left without paving or plantation. Thus it is required to either pave or green the open areas. Soil may get contaminated, if sewage is disposed of on the soil, littering of municipal waste, e-waste and spillage of HSD. Thus best management practices should be adopted to avoid the contamination of soil. Mitigation measures are listed below: Mitigation Measures: Proper municipal solid waste collection, management, treatment and disposal system should be followed for management of solid waste A room should be provided at site for storage of e-waste and it should be sold off to authorized vendors on regular basis HSD should be stored in isolated location on paved areas to prevent contamination of soil due to spillage. Drains should be provided around HSD storage yards and drains should be fitted with oil interceptors No left over construction debris or material should be stored at site Waste oil from Dg sets should be stored in HDPE containers and should be stored in isolated paved areas. It should be sold to authorized vendors on regular basis. 4.7.1.3 AGRICULTURE AND CROPPING PATTERN No impacts are anticipated on agriculture and cropping pattern during operation phase of the project. 4.7.2 WATER ENVIRONMENT 4.7.2.1 SURFACE WATER HYDROLOGY No perennial surface water body exists within study area. Surface water will not be used during construction phase for any activity. After development of project, it is expected that run-off from site will increase due to generation of paved surfaces. Run-off from site at present is 166133.4 m3/ year and it will increase to 504604.0 m3/ year (Table 2.16), which is app. 3 times of the present situation. However it is proposed to provide storm water collection system at site and collected storm water is recharged into ground through filter packed RWH pits provided at site. It is proposed to provide total 52 nos. of rain water harvesting pits for recharging the run-off water to ground. Nearest observation well of CGWB to project site is Amer. As per CWGB, stage of ground water development in the area is high and the area is notified by CGWB for regulating the ground water extraction. Thus recharging the ground water will be of prime importance in this area. Bore for recharging will be provided in a way that the water reaches the first confined aquifer in the area. Further water conservation measures are suggested to be taken to reduce the water requirement. This will control excess run-off and minimize the impact on the hydrology of the area.

4.7.2.2 SURFACE WATER QUALITY Surface water may get polluted, if wastewater/sewage generated is disposed off in water body without treatment. However, STP is proposed to be provided at site for treatment of the sewage. Dual plumbing system is provided to re-use treated water within the site for flushing, cooling and gardening purpose. There is excess treated STP water of 151 KLD during non rainy season and 1309 KLD during monsoon season. This water can be given for construction purpose in nearby areas, irrigation purpose, watering to nearby green area/road side plantation or can be used for HVAC cooling in the proposed commercial area within the site. Thus no significant impact is anticipated on surface water quality. Run-off from the site especially the areas near storage of HSD or waste may also affect the water quality of receiving water body. However, it is planned to provide storm water collection system at the site. Collected storm water will be recharged into ground through RWH system and thus prevent mixing of surface water run-off in waterbody. RWH system comprises of de-silting chambers & grease traps. RWH pits contain filter media which helps purifying the water before recharging. Some of the recommended mitigation measures are as follows: Mitigation Measures: STP is proposed to be constructed at site treat the sewage generated at the site. STP designed is of capacity more than the estimated sewage An agency will be hired for operation and maintenance of STP Dual plumbing system is proposed to be provided at the site and will be be maintained properly to continue re-use of STP treated water as proposed Proper maintenance of green belt and green area so as run-off from site should not carry sediments. Provision of storm water management system at site and the collected storm water will be recharged into ground through filter packed RWH pits fitted with injection wells. This will minimize the run-off from site. 4.7.2.3 GROUND WATER HYDROLOGY Source of water during the operation phase is ground water as there is no other source of potable water in the area. Permission from CGWA has been taken to withdraw 1803 KLD of the ground water. Permission for extraction of additional ground water will be taken from CGWA. If ground water will be used, then there will be significant impact on ground water hydrology. Project site falls in Amer block of Jaipur district, which is already over exploited zone. Stage of ground water development in this block is 191.14%. Area is notified by CGWB to regulate the ground water extraction. Block is experiencing steady decline in ground water level due to over exploitation. Average rate of decline is 1.94m/year during 2001-2006. Total water demand at site is 5785 KLD out of which 2994 KLD of fresh water is required. Withdrawal of 2994 KL of water daily will have significant impact on ground water regime. Mitigation measures are proposed to minimize impact on ground water hydrology STP treated water should be recycled within project site to fulfill flushing, cooling and landscaping demand and reducing fresh water demand

Installation of water conservation fixtures like dual flush cistern, low water urinals, low faucet taps, low flow showers etc. Adoption of these fixtures reduces the water demand significantly Flow regulators and water meter s should be provided at inlet point Provision of rain water harvesting system. App. 504604 m3/year of water will be recharged annually through rain water harvesting system in lieu of 1092810 cum of water per year. Thus app. 46% of water withdrawn can be recharged back to ground. Notices shall be displayed at required location to make residents, staff and visitors aware about necessity of water conservation Proper leak detection system should be provided to minimize the water wastage Water tanks should be provided with the alarms to minimize overflowing of water and wastage of water 4.7.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT Source of air pollution during operation phase are movement of vehicles and operation of DG sets. Air
emissions include dust, SO2, NOx, CO, PM10 & PM2.5. It is estimated that traffic of 7348 PCU will generate due to development of project. Roads of adequate width are proposed to provided at the site to accommodate the expected nos of vehicle. Multiple entry and exit are provided to minimize the congestion during peak hours. Adequate parking space will be provided within each plot as per norms of JDA. Additional parking space of 1455 sq m will be provided at site for parking of retail visitors. Emissions which may result due to the traffic generated after development of the project are estimated using the standards as given in “Emission Factor development for Indian Vehicles” Report by ARAI, 2008 and are given in Table 4.7. It is assumed type of vehicular traffic from site will majorly be cars and two wheelers as it is residential township project. Total traffic generated will be 7348 PCU. It is assumed that 3000 will be petrol car and 3000 will be diesel based. Remaining 1348 PCUS will be two wheelers. 1348 PCUs will be equivalent to 2696 two whellers (@1 two wheeler = 0.5 PCU). Thus assuming 1348 will be motorcycle and remaining 1348 will be scooter. Emission estimations are given in Table 4.8. Table 4.7 Emission Factors of the Vehicle S.

DG sets will be provided for DG back-up in group housing, institution and commercial & facility plots. However individual residential plots and retail plots may install small inverter for power back-up. Further dedicated DG set will be provided in each facility to run essential facilities like STP, lifts, elevators and accelerators. DG sets will be operational only during power failure. Thus no significant emissions will be generated due to operation of DG sets. Mitigation measures are proposed to prevent the air pollution during operation phase: Mitigation Measures Maintenance of the peripheral green belt & avenue plantation developed at site\ Provision of stacks as per CPCB norms with the DG sets Use of low sulphur diesel as fuels for DG sets. Sprinkling of water on the roads Restriction of speed limit at site 4.7.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT Source of noise pollution during operation phase are DG sets operation, operation of pumps and movement of vehicles. Following measures are proposed to be taken to minimize the impact of noise: Mitigation Measures DG sets are proposed to be provided with acoustic enclosure This will prevent exposure of residents to DG noise Pumps to be installed with STP, water supply system, sewage system, storm water system etc shall be provided with noise mufflers so as noise during operation is minimal. Regular repair & service of the pumps and machinery to minimize the noise generation Proposed peripheral green belt will act as noise buffer Speed limits will be restricted within the site Honking will be prohibited at the site 4.7.5 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT No impact on biological environment is anticipated on biological environment due to the project in operation phase. Approx 30.6% of total plot area (390524.9 sq m) will be developed as green cover at the site. Approx. 126183.75 sq m of green area has already been developed at the site. This will improve the biological environment of the area

4.7.6 IMPACT ON SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT Development of the project will lead to increased generation of sewage, increase in vehicles, increased water demand, increased effluents from vehicles and operating DG sets etc. All these will increase the pressure on the existing resources thereby affecting the social environment. However, adequate parking space and wide roads are provided within the project site to accommodate the expected vehicle. Traffic may increase on the NH-11 abutting the site but its capacity is sufficient to accommodate the traffic from site. Also site is close to SH-19 and Delhi Ajmer Expressway thus the total traffic load will not be on NH-11 only. Traffic will be distributed. STP is provided to treat sewage and dual plumbing system is provided to re-utilize the treated water thus there will not be any significant sewage load generation from project. DG sets will be operated only in case of power failure and exhaust will be emitted through the stacks of height as per the CPCB norms. Water conservation fixtures are proposed to be provided in the project to minimize the water demand and rain water harvesting system is proposed to be provided to recharge the ground water aquifers. All these measures have minimized the impact on socio-economic environment which may result from project development. Also various facilities like club house, farm house, institution, commercial area with facilities like bank, ATM, STD etc is proposed to be provided within the project site which will facilitate the expected residents. Also project development will provide employment opportunity to app 5644 people for various skilled, semi-skilled and unskilled jobs. Development of project will improve the infrastructure in the area and the green belt will improve the aesthetic value. Thus the project is anticipated to have positive impacts on the socio-economic environment 4.7.7 ENERGY RESOURCES Maximum power demand for the total project is estimated to be 20000 kVA (20 MVA). Source of power will be Jaipur VidyutVitran Nigam Ltd. 33 KVA substations are proposed to be provided within the project site at two locations. Project development will increase the energy demand. Thus it is required to conserve the energy by adopting best management practices and utilizing the energy efficient material and equipment. Some of the energy efficient measures are recommended below which can be adopted to make project energy efficient Usage of local building material like sand stone, sand, bazri etc Maximizing the usage of excavated soil and the construction debris within the site for filing purpose Blocking the western side of the building Provision of windows and ventilators in every room to maximize day lighting Provision of passive architectural features like overhangs, balcony, verandhas to prevent direct exposure of sun heat All the buildings should be painted in light color with heat reflective paints Glass should not be used as wall material and if used it should be provided with proper glazing

HVAC systems in commercial spaces should be provided with the latest energy efficient technologies like thermal storage, VFD etc All pumps, motor, lighting, electrical equipment shall be energy efficient and BEE star rated Provision of 50% solar lighting should be there in common area. Solar blinkers shall be provided on roads All internal and external lighting should be LED based Solar water heaters shall be provided in all group housing and commercial buildings to meet the hot water demand Roof top of utility buildings should be provided with solar panels. This energy produced should be used for lighting in common areas or should be fed to the state grid Usage of fly ash bricks and fly ash mixed cement (PPC) should be maximized Usage of AAC blocks as wall material which is green building material. Broken AAC blocks can also be used for construction of roof Development of greens as per the green belt development plan so as more than 50% of non roof area is under shade all the time 4.7.8 IMPACT DUE TO SOLID WASTE It has been estimated that app. 16750 kg/day quantity of solid waste will be generated from the project site. If solid waste generated on site is stored in unregulated locations, it can lead to leachate and other components of the decomposing solid waste to penetrate the soil surface, ground water leading to the deterioration of soil quality at the project site. Solid waste generated on site if allowed to accumulate without a proper disposal site and proper management, will adversely affect the aesthetics of the project site. However, with proper mitigation measures in place, the impacts could be short term and reversible. Mitigation Measures Provision of twin color dustbins for collection of recyclable and non recyclable waste in all residential, commercial, facility, institutional plots and common areas Provision of door to door waste collection system Provision of a site within project site for segregation and storage of MSW for minimum two days in isolated location Recyclable waste will be sold to authorized vendor on regular basis Non recyclable waste should be disposed off through local agencies on regular basis Room should be provided at site for storage of E-waste and that shall be sold to authorized vendors regularly Used oil from DG sets should be stored in HDPE containers and should be sold to authorized vendors

Other than this, various water conservation measures are proposed to be adopted in the project thereby reducing the water requirement. Water conservation measures includes low faucet taps, low water urinals in commercial areas, dual flushing cisterns, low flow showers, provision of flow meter at inlet & outlet points, sensor operated low faucet taps in commercial area, tap aerators, flow regulators, etc. These equipments should be installed in the project and will thereby reduce the water demand to larger extents. These alternatives have been analyzed in terms of cost, water consumption, water saving, water cess etc. Adoption of these measures has higher capital cost than conventional taps and flushing system but will save cost in operation phase. In the project scheme, proposal of rain water harvesting is considered instead of discharging storm water into the storm water drains of city. It is proposed rain water will be collected from the site and will be recharged into ground through 52 nos. of rain water harvesting pits and injection wells. Annual available run-off from site is estimated to be 502479.3cum (refer Table 2.16). This run-off will be recharged to the ground. This will not only augment the ground water level of the site but will also help in reducing the run-off on roads & storm water drains during heavy rains which may sometime leads to local flooding.
5.4 INTERNAL ROADS, ACCESS ROADS AND PAVED AREAS Road construction will be undertaken in the project site to facilitate movement of the vehicles expected at the site. Setbacks and road width will be given as per local bye laws and as per NBC standards. For road construction excavated soil and construction debris will be used. Also in paved areas like parking lots, hardscapes etc pavers will be used. Green belt is planned all along the roads and also in the medians wherever provided.
5.5 CONSTRUCTION MATERIAL It is generally anticipated that building & construction projects do not have high emissions and discharges involved. However, emissions and discharges are involved but indirectly. Production of construction raw material is one of the majorly polluting sector e.g. cement plant, brick kilns, steel plants, batching plants etc. Some of the construction materials are energy intensive and their manufacturing involves large amount of energy consumption. Along with the energy requirement, emissions and raw material requirement for production of construction raw material, additional cost is associated which is transportation of construction material. Transportation of material to longer distance will add to cost, fuel requirement, emission and time. Thus analysis has been made to opt for less energy intensive raw material. Locally available raw material, i.e. sandstone shall be used for construction purpose to the extent possible. Additionally option for usage of fly- ash bricks and fly-ash mix cement is also considered. Additionally best practices shall be adopted like avoiding stock piling of material at site, storage of raw material under covered sheds and careful usage of raw material. These alternatives have to some extent will reduce the requirement of raw material and energy foot prints of the building.

5.6 CONCLUSION No alternative site was analyzed for development of proposed project as the land is allotted by JDA for development of township project. Alternatives were analyzed in terms of technology. Alternative energy options, building material options, fixtures etc were analyzed. Options having low cost (both capital & maintenance), low environmental impacts and high life are tried to be selected. Some of the chosen alternatives have high capital cost but low O & M cost.

CHAPTER 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
6.1 OBJECTIVES Monitoring program has the underlying objective to ensure that the intended environmental mitigations are realized and these results in desired benefits to the target population causing minimal deterioration to the environmental parameters. Such program targets proper implementation of the EMP. The broad objectives are: To evaluate the performance of mitigation measures proposed in the EMP. To evaluate the adequacy of Environmental Assessment. To suggest ongoing improvements in management plan based on the monitoring and to devise fresh monitoring on the basis of the improved EMP. To enhance environmental quality through proper implementation of suggested mitigation measures. To meet the requirements of the existing environmental regulatory framework and community obligations. The purpose of environmental monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of implantation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) by periodically monitoring the important environmental parameters within impact area, so that any adverse affects are detected and timely action can be taken.
6.2 PERFORMANCE INDICATORS The significant physical, biological and social components affecting the environment at critical locations serve as wider/overall Performance Indicators. However, the following specific environmental parameters can be quantitatively measured and compared over a period of time, therefore selected as specific Performance Indicators (Pis) for monitoring because of their regulatory importance and the availability of standardized procedures and relevant expertise. Air Quality with respect to Particulate Matters (PM10, PM2.5), NOx and SO2. Water Quality for parameters defined in IS 10500: 2012. Noise levels as per CPCB Guidelines and at selected locations. Soil Quality Survival rates of trees planted and Green area development.
6.3 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY (AAQ) MONITORING
Ambient air quality parameters recommended for monitoring the project are Particulate Matters (PM10 &
PM2.5), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Sulphur Dioxide (SO2). These are to be monitored, right from the commencement of construction activity at selected locations on site, excavation works, residential areas near the project site etc. Data is generated once in a season excluding monsoon at the monitoring locations in accordance with the National Ambient Air Quality Standards formulated by MoEF through Notification on November 18, 2009.

CHAPTER 7. DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
7.1 INTRODUCTION Disaster Management Plan will be developed to reduce the impact of disasters like earthquake, fire etc. and to encourage recovery. And Training will be given to staff & contractors about disaster management and handling. Hazard Analysis involves identification and quantification of various hazards (unsafe conditions). On the other hand, risk analysis deals with identification and quantification of risks, the equipment and personnel are exposed to, due to accidents resulting from the hazard present in the project. Risk analysis follows an extensive hazard analysis. It involves the identification and assessment of risks, which the neighbouring populations are exposed to as a result of hazards present. This requires a thorough knowledge of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of populations etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate. Consequently, the risk analysis is often confined to maximum credible accident studies.
7.2 APPROACH Risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an event or sequence of events. The risk analysis assessment study covers the following: Identification of potential hazard areas Visualization of the resulting scenarios in terms of fire Assess the overall damage potential of the identified hazardous events and the impact zones from the accidental scenarios Assess the overall suitability of the site from hazard minimization and disaster mitigation point of view Preparation of broad emergency management plan (DMP).
7.3 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Identification of hazards at proposed residential project is of primary significance in the analysis, quantification and cost effective control of unlikely events of accidents. A classic definition of hazard states that hazard is in fact the characteristics of system/process that presents potential for an accident. Hence, all the components of proposed project need to be thoroughly examined to assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events, which can be termed as an accident. Based on information available, proposed project will store HSD, which is flammable and can catch fire in the event of spillage if ignition source is available near the storage. In the event of spillage followed by fire, pool fire will take place. Thermal radiation from pool fire will be confined with the
M/s Suncity Projects Pvt. Ltd. Page | 112
Expansion and modification of Project “Suncity Township” At Village: Nindade, PS Harmada, near Sikar Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan EIA-EMP REPORT
short distance. Further, state-of-the-art fire fighting facilities will be provided to extinguish fire. Therefore, risk of fire in HSD barrel will be negligible. No other toxic hazard will be stored at the proposed project.
7.4 EMERGENCY MANAGEMENT PLAN Emergency Management Plan is necessarily a combination of various actions, which are to be taken in a very short time but in a pre-set sequence to deal effectively and efficiently with any disaster, emergency or accident with an aim to keep the loss to the minimum. The project will have to have complete liaison and co-ordination with outside agencies to minimize the effect of such disaster/emergency. The major function of the plan is to formulate a procedure for: Controlling it with minimum damage to men, material and machine Rescuing victims and treat them suitably Safeguarding others (evacuating them to safe places) Identifying the person affected Information to relatives of the causalities Providing authoritative information to news media and others concerned Preserving relevant records needed as evidence in any subsequent enquiry
7.4.1 SCOPE The aim of hazard control and disaster management is concerned with preventing accidents through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection, by which it is possible to reduce the risk of an accident, but it is not possible to eliminate it. Since, absolute safety is not achievable, an essential part of hazard control must include mitigating the effect of an accidents. An important element of mitigating is emergency planning i.e. recognizing that accidents are possible, assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the emergency procedures, both on site and off site, that would need to be implemented in the event of emergency. Emergency planning is just one aspect of safety and cannot be considered in isolation. In particular, it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards within the project. Before starting to prepare the plan, project management will ensure that the necessary standards and safety precautions are administered. Emergency plans are likely to be separate for on-site and off-site, but they must be consistent with each other, i.e. they must be related to the same assessed emergency conditions. The on-site plan is called Disaster Management Plan (DMP) and the off-site plan is called Emergency Preparedness Plan (EPP).
7.4.2 OBJECTIVES The overall objectives of an emergency plan are: To localize the emergency and if possible, eliminate it; and
M/s Suncity Projects Pvt. Ltd. Page | 113
Expansion and modification of Project “Suncity Township” At Village: Nindade, PS Harmada, near Sikar Road, Jaipur, Rajasthan EIA-EMP REPORT
To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property Elimination of hazard will require prompt action by operators and emergency staff using, for example, fire-fighting equipment and water sprays. Minimizing the effect will include rescue, first aid, evacuation, rehabilitation and giving information promptly to people living nearby.
7.4.3 FORMULATION OF DMP The assessment of the risk and hazards leads either to improvements being made to the project, in the form of additional safeguards or better procedures, or to the decision being taken that the risk is sufficiently small to be accepted. The plan will be substantial document including following: Assessment of the size and nature of the events foreseen and probability of their occurrence; Formulation of the plan and liaison with outside authorities, including the emergency services; Procedure for- raising the alarm and communication both within and outside the works; Appointment of key personnel and their duties and responsibilities are: o work incident controller o works main controller Emergency control centre; The project will set out the way in which designed people at the site for the incident can initiate supplementary action both insides or outside the works at an appropriate time. An essential element of the plan must be the provision for attempting to make safe the affected unit, for example by shutting it down. On a project site, the plan will contain the full sequence of key personnel to be called in from other sections or from off-site. It is particularly important that the requirement of the plan for emergency resources, both personnel and equipment, are reasonable and can be quickly assembled in the event of an emergency. Management will consider whether sufficient resources exist at the site to carry out the plan for the various assessed incidents in conjunction with the emergency services, for example sufficient water for cooling and fire fighting. The time element is of great significance but is often overlooked.
7.4.4 ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN Emergency is the one which may or may not cause material damage or injury but likely to have an impact on the project. Such an emergency may be controlled using resources and resources available in the surrounding establishments. Scope of Onsite Emergency Plan The scope of the plan is to ensure safety of life, protection of environment and protection of property. Although the emergency may be caused by different factors such as natural calamity, civil disturbance, sabotage, equipment failure, human error, it will normally manifest in the form of fire, etc. Objective of Emergency Plan

7.4.6 ALARM AND COMMUNICATION MECHANISM Communication is crucial factor in handling an emergency. It is the practice that many persons can raise an emergency alarm, so allowing the earliest possible action to be taken to control the situation. There will be an adequate number of points from which the alarm can be raised either directly, by activating an audible warning, or indirectly, viz., a signal or message to a permanently manned location. The alarm will alert the incident controller who will assess the situation and implement appropriate emergency procedures. In areas where there is a high level of noise, it may be necessary to install more than one audible alarm transmitter or flashing lights. Automatic alarms may be appropriate on some site. There will be a reliable system for informing the emergency services as soon as the alarm is raised on site. The details of the communication arrangements will be agreed locally; in some cases it may be advisable to have a direct line to the fire brigade. Pre determined code words to indicate the scale and type of the emergency may be valuable.
7.4.7 FIRE FIGHTING FACILITIES Adequate fire fighting facilities will be provided as per applicable rules in the various parts of the proposed project as per applicable regulations. Fire fighting equipment will be provide at the site as per norms of JDA, NBC, 2005 & requirement of Fire Department All Building will be provided with fire protection arrangements such as hose reel, hose, wet riser, automatic sprinkler system in entire building, manual call points, automatic fire detection system in entire buildings, underground water storage tank, overhead water tank, fire pumps, potable fire extinguishers, exit signs, P.A.

Climate Jaipur has a semiarid climate. Summers are extremely hot as well winters are extremely cold. Jaipur receives 4 seasons namely winter, summer, monsoon and post-monsoon season. Temperatures remain relatively high throughout the year, with the summer months of April to early July having average daily temperatures of around 30 °C (86 °F) and highest temperature during summer months touches the level of 48 °C. During the monsoon there are frequent, heavy rains and thunderstorms, but flooding is not common. The winter months of November to February are mild and pleasant, with average temperatures ranging from 15–18 °C (59–64 °F) and with little or no humidity though occasional cold waves lead to temperatures near freezing. The annual normal rainfall of the district received over 650 mm of rainfall annually. Annual average wind speed in the area varies from 3 to 13 km/h. Topography & Land Use The general slope of the Jaipur city and its surroundings is from north to south and then to south-east. The terrain of the study area is generally plain with an average elevation ranges from 346 to 596 meters above mean sea level (MSL) and at project site the average elevation ranges from 464-485 m amsl. The slope of land in the Jaipur district varies from less than 10 meters/kilometer to 300 meters/kilometer. However level of the site is app 0.4 m above the adjacent road level. Most of the land within the 10 km area of the project site is under agriculture. As per the land use based on satellite image, about 58.63% of the land is Agricultural land, 4.90 % of the land Dense Forest, about 11.09% Open Forest, 6.31% Open land (Non Agriculture land) and 0.03% is under Water Body of the land is under settlement, about 0.93% land is Barren Land and rest of the land is under other uses. Seismicity As per the 2014 Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) map, Rajasthan falls in Zones II, III & IV. The project site lies in seismic zone II which is least active zone. Soil Quality Soil quality study has been undertaken at site and nearby 6 locations and it was found that soil has sandy loamy texture and is brown in color.
