3.3.4 Land Use and land cover Remote Sensing, used for land use and land cover study is a process of identification and demarcation of various earth’s objects from a distance without directly coming into contact with them. Remote sensing is largely concerned with the measurement of electromagnetic radiation from the sun, which is reflected, scattered, and emitted by the objects on the surface of the earth. Different objects on the surface of the earth reflect different amounts of the electromagnetic spectrum. The potential of remote sensing in natural resources mapping basically depends on spatial, radiometric and temporal resolution of the sensor. Thus the satellite remote sensing with its capability of repetitive coverage, multispectral imaging, synoptic view and low cost can play an important role in the delineation of various land use land cover classes. Land cover is a fundamental parameter describing the Earth’s surface. This parameter is a considerable variable that impacts on and links many parts of the human and physical environments. Remote sensing technique has ability to represent of land cover categories by means of classification process. Geographical Information Systems have

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd. already been used for assessing environmental problems, since they provides a flexible environment and a powerful tool for the manipulation and analysis of spatial information for land cover feature identification and the maps of all variables were combined to extract information to better understand analysing. Obtained results were compared, visualized and analyzed, in Geographic Information System. The Study Area up to 10 kms radius from the existing project Site comprises of villages of Ahmedabad cities & District. The important land uses, as classified by the Census Records, are the Forest, Land irrigated by different water sources, un-irrigated areas, Cultivable waste land and areas not available for cultivation. The land use distribution in the study area (10 km radial zone) is presented in Table.

The Deccan basement, generally found in adjacent Cambay basin at 4 to 5 km depth is missing at Ahmedabad and the hard rock basement of granite rock occur at depth of 7 to 8 km. The upper 200-300 m below Ahmedabad city is mostly alluvium, formed by the meandering Sabarmati River in the past. Ahmedabad lies in two marginal faults and also on the intersection of two minor lineaments. PGA (peak ground acceleration during earthquake) is equal to the amplitude of the largest absolute acceleration recorded on an accelerogram at a site during a particular earthquake. In an earthquake, damage to buildings and infrastructure is related more closely to ground motion, rather than the magnitude of the earthquake itself. For moderate earthquakes, PGA is a reasonably good determinant of damage. The map of PGA at surface level reveals higher values at south zone and north zone of the city 1m, 2m and 3m depth where, central zone, west zone and east zone have the average lower values for PGA in comparison.

The earthquake history of the Ahmedabad region indicates fairly moderate seismicity for the project area. The tectonic elements of the area are considered capable of generating an earthquake of magnitude 4 on Richter scale.

3.4 Hydrology River Sabarmati is the principal river of the district. It originates from Dhebar Lake in Aravalli Range of Udaipur District, Rajasthan and finally debauches into Gulf of Khambat near Vataman village of Dholka taluka. Sabarmati forms the eastern boundary of the district flowing from NE to SW direction in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar districts. An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock or unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, or silt) from which groundwater can be extracted using water well. The sedimentary deposits of recent age are considered as alluvial deposits. The alluvium contains soil and clay majorly. Sand mixed with kankar is porous in nature, suitable for storage of ample quantities of groundwater. Water table in the study area varies 35 m to 40 m. During the monsoon, it is naturally recharged. Daskroi taluka mainly has soft rock aquifer where dug well as well as tubewell is feasible.

3.4.1 Ground Water Scenario The district forms a part of the CAMBAY BASIN. The stratigraphic succession of the formations encountered within the drilled depth of the wells in the district along with its thickness and generalized lithology are presented below. Alluvial formation is made up of Sand, clay, kankers, silt and gravels. In this formation water is available under confined and unconfined conditions. Remaining area is made up of Basalt. This is very poor in ground water availability and yield. Sufficient discharge is available from alluvial formation. Average depth of tube-well in eastern part ranges from 90-120 mtrs and in north- west part it is 350 to 400 Mts. Generally water supply schemes of Ahmedabad district are based on deep tube wells. Due to heavy drilling activity and over extraction of ground water since last two decades, there is a sharp decline in ground water levels and in the quality of water.

4.1.1 Ground water in the fissured formations (Hard rocks) Occurrence and movement of ground water is governed by the extent and thickness of weathered zone, presence and interconnections of joint and fracture systems, which provides secondary porosity. The thickness of the weathered zone of the basalt ranges from less than one meter to more than 6 m and the joints and fracture system is prevalent down to a maximum depth of 80 to 90 m bgl in the basaltic terrain. The occurrence of vesicles and amygdales in the flows of the trap rocks and solution cavities in the limestone formations and the geological contact between limestone and basalt are other factors favorable for ground water storage and movement. Ground water occurs in the weathered and fissured zones mainly under water table conditions. It occasionally occurs under semi-confined conditions in the event of comparatively deeper fracture system in these formations. These fissured

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd. formations do not form good repository of groundwater, compared to porous unconsolidated sedimentary formations. Groundwater is being developed in these formations by means of dug and dug-cum-bored wells. Depth of dug wells ranges between 5 and 38.5 m bgl whereas depth of dug-cum-bored wells varies between 15 and 78 m bgl in the case of fissured basaltic formations. Depth of dug wells in the limestone formations varies between 12 and 38 m bgl. Deeper wells are constructed in the western part in these formations. Depth to water levels in basaltic formation varies between 4 and 25 m bgl. In the limestone formation it varies between 12 and 33 m bgl. The deeper water levels are recorded towards western part of the area. The average yield of the wells in the trap formations varies between 50 and 1000 cu.m/day and of the wells in the limestone varies between 50 and 200 cu.m/day.

4.1.2 Ground water in Porous Formations (Sedimentary) It occupies the major part (93.5%) of the district. It includes the post-Miocene alluvial deposits at the top underlined by older Miocene formations. The sedimentary formations mainly consist of fine to coarse-grained sand, gravel, silt, clay, clay stone, siltstone and kankar. The thickness of the post-Miocene alluvial formations exceeds 419m near Dholka at Rampur Ground water occurs under phreatic as well as confined conditions in the granular horizons with in the sedimentary.

Unconfined aquifer (phreatic) The unconfined aquifer occurs in the upper horizons down to a maximum depth of 60-75 mbg consisting of medium to fine grained sand, silt with local lenses of sandy clay and clay. Medium to fine grained sands are found in the north-eastern part of the district. In this area where only phreatic aquifer is present, base of the alluvium is marked by gravel. Fine grained sands with silt are found further south and south-west at Dholka and Sanand taluka. The thickness of aquifer varies between 20 and 45 m in general, met with in the depth range of 3 and 75 m bgl. Ground water occurs under phreatic conditions in the north eastern part of the district. However, the intercalations of silt, at places, induces semi-confined conditions in the south and south western directions of Sanand and Dholka taluka. It bears potable and good quality water in the north eastern part of the district and eastern part of Dascroi taluka (east of Khari River). It is being developed by dug, dug-cum-bored wells and tube wells. The depth of the dug wells and dug-cum-bored wells usually varies between 10 and 60 m bgl. The tube wells range between 42 and 167 m bgl. In the rest part of the area it bears brackish to saline ground water. Hence ground water development is meagre and dug wells are constructed in or vicinity of ponds to meet the local demands. Hydraulic characters of this aquifer are not separately estimated. Tube wells, tapping this aquifer invariably tap one or more aquifers occurring underneath. Yields of such tube wells varies between 225 and 3032 m3/day. Specific capacity of tube wells varies between 0.12 and 38.48 lpm/m, permeability varies between 0.49 and 105 m/day and transmissivity varies between 10.58 and 3867.29 m2/day.

Confined aquifers

The upper unconfined aquifer is underlain by persistent clay formations of considerable thickness in the entire area of porous sedimentary formations. This separates the lower unit consisting of a few hundred meters of alternating sandy and argillaceous beds forming the

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd. confined aquifer system. The arenaceous horizons of the confined aquifer, consists of medium to coarse-grained sand with gravel interstratified locally with silty or clayey sand and clay lenses. The distribution of the confined aquifers varies considerably in the district. The sand content of the aquifer decreases considerably both in depth and space. It resulted in the pinching out of certain aquifers occurring below 150 m bgl in the south and south western directions, as seen, in Kalyangarh and Bagodra bore holes. The development of these aquifers hence depends upon the aquifer geometry, yield characters of the individual aquifers and / or salinity of formation waters.

Ground Water Regime Monitoring Ground Water Regime monitoring is being carried out four times in a year during May, August, November and January. In all 71 Hydrograph stations (17 Open Wells and 54 Purpose built Piezometers) spread over the entire district are being monitored during 2012-13).

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

Pre monsoon (May 2012)

The ground water level during the premonsoon period (May 2012) ranged from 2.28 to 22.58 mbgl. The shallowest Water level of 2.28 mbgl was recorded at Gamph and the deepest water level of 22.28 m was recorded at Vastrapur lake Pz-II.

Post monsoon (November 2012)

The ground water level during the postmonsoon period (November 2012) ranged from 1.06 to 16.52 m bgl. The shallowest Water level of 1.06 m bgl was recorded at Fedra and the deepest water level of 16.52 m was recorded at Jholapur.

3.4.2 Drainage Pattern River Sabarmati is the principal river of the district. It originates from Dhebar Lake in Aravalli Range of Udaipur District, Rajasthan and finally debauches into Gulf of Khambat near

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

Vataman village of Dholka taluka. Sabarmati forms the River Sabarmati is the principal river of the district. It originates from Dhebar Lake in Aravalli Range of Udaipur District, Rajasthan and finally debauches into Gulf of Khambat near Vataman village of Dholka taluka. Sabarmati forms the eastern boundary of the district flowing from NE to SW direction in Ahmedabad and Gandhinagar districts. The river Vatrak flows for a smaller length and joins Sabarmati near village Wauta of Dholka taluka. The Khari River and the Meshwo River drain Dascroi taluka. The river Bhogavo with its branches Chatori and Omkar drains Dholka and Dhandhuka talukas. The Bhadar River with its branch Goma, Lilka, Utavali and Ghela drains Dhandhuka taluka of the district. River Rodh drains Sanand and Dholka talukas. Rivers Shelwa and Andhli drain Dholka taluka. There is no river or rivulet in Viramgam taluka. The general drainage pattern seen in area is dendritic.

3.4.3 Geomorphology Geomorphologically the district can be divided into two zones, the major portion of it forms a flat planar topography except for a few rocky features in the extreme southern portion.

Flat Alluvial Peneplain It includes the low-lying land of Dholka and Dhandhuka taluka (falling below 20 m) contour characterized by marshy land, which is believed to be under sea in the past. Water logging is common in these tracts at high tides during monsoon. This barren low land is termed as “The Bhal” area and characterized by high coastal salinity. The spreading of alluvial bed of Sabarmati River from end to end of the district is an important natural feature being observed. Below the city, on the left bank of the river and also midway between it and the Khari river are few small rises. But everywhere else, the surface of the ground is unbroken on every side, except the north, with groves of various trees. Along the Right Bank of Sabarmati River, the prominent characteristics of Daskroi pass into Dholka. However towards west and south-west they pass into fertile but absolutely flat and monotonous black soil of the Bhal. The area from Dholka to Bavliari creek along the coast is characterized by salty and marshy land. Along the western border, the land passes into a reddish form.

Low hills

A series of low hills are present few kilometres west of Rampur in the western Dhandhuka taluka. The hills around Ninana in the most westerly part of Dhandhuka are covered with fragments of quartz and limestone. Some hills are located around Vasai and Miroli in the southern section of the district, also near Thaltej and Gota of Daskroi taluka in the north, and Chandisar in Dholka and Vastrapur in the City Taluka.

3.4.4 Soil Media The map for soil types is given below. Daskroi which lies in western part of the district, mainly has silty loam soil and some part of taluka has sandy loam soil in northern part of taluka. Ahmedabad city, lying east to Daskroi, mainly has sandy loam with lesser parts of silty loam. Major part of the district is covered with clay loam and silty loam. In lower part of the district towards south east, mud is found. Near Ranpur, at periphery of the district, clay is found.

3.5 Meteorology Micro meteorological data within the study area, during air quality survey period. Meteorological data recorded during the monitoring period is very useful for proper interpretation of the baseline information as well as for the input to the predictive air pollutants dispersion models. Historical data on meteorological parameters will also play an important role in identifying the general meteorological status of the region. Site specific data can be compared with the historical data in order to identify changes, which may have taken place due to the rapid industrialization in the area.

The micro-meteorological parameters regulate the transport and diffusion of pollutants released into the atmosphere. The principle variables which affect the micrometeorology are horizontal connective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical connective transport (atmospheric stability and inversion conditions) and topography of the area.

The year may broadly be divided into four seasons.

3.6 Ambient Air Quality 3.6.1 Reconnaissance The quality of ambient air depends upon the background concentrations of specific contaminants, the emission sources and meteorological conditions. The study on baseline ambient air quality status in the project area is an essential and primary requirement for assessing the impacts on air environment due to any proposed developmental activity. The baseline studies on air environment include identification of specific air pollution parameters expected to have significant impacts and assessing their existing levels in ambient air within the impact zone. To assess the baseline status of ambient air quality in the study area, monitoring is undertaken to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air.

3.6.2 Methodology for Air Monitoring: AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored on 24 hourly average bases twice in a week as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. The conventional and project specific parameters such as particulate matter PM10 (size less than 10 µm), particulate matter PM2.5

(size less than 2.5µm), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) were monitored. 3.6.3 Selection of Stations for Sampling: Depending upon the purpose of the study IS: 5184 (part XIV) lays down various criteria for selection of sampling stations. For EIA/ EMP, the purpose is to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air. Accordingly, the criterion can be selected to ascertain quality of air on human settlements or environmentally sensitive areas if any located in the 10 km radius study area.

The locations for AAQM study were selected within the 10 km radius of the proposed plant installation. Ambient air quality was monitored on 8 locations to generate representative ambient air quality data.

We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay and water. Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc. These are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by which essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made up of two main parts: A. Tiny bits of mineral particles which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in color and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals. B. Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms, round worms, insects, etc. actually more organisms live in the soil than above it. 3.10.1 Methodology The soil samples were collected from 8 selected locations during pre-monsoon season. The samples collected were homogeneous representative of each sampling location. At random sub locations were identified at each location and soil samples were collected from 5 to 15 cm below the surface. It was uniformly mixed before homogenizing the soil samples.

3.11 Biological Monitoring Biological resources of the area are an indicator of quality/health of the environment of the area. Therefore, the study of the same is an important aspect to minimize the distribution due to the intervention of the proposed project to accept in a sustainable approach. To achieve the goal, EIA study was conducted during the month of Jan’20 to March’20 to cover all the biological parameters.

Nature supports a great variety of living beings under a structural and functional unit called ecosystem. In any natural ecosystem, there are several components which exist in harmony and survive only by interdependence. These components may be either biotic or abiotic. Developmental activities often have great impacts on the biodiversity both ecosystems as well as species level. Present study has been carried out to inventories the biodiversity exist in the study area of present project, to evaluate the possible impacts on biodiversity due to project activities and suggest effective mitigation measures against the negative impacts.

The ecological study was undertaken to understand the present status of ecosystem of the area, to predict changes as a result of proposed activities and to suggest measures for maintaining the conditions. This carried through primary survey and secondary data collected from various Government agencies like Forest Department, Agriculture Department, Scientific literatures etc. The animal and plant communities co-exist in a well-organized manner. Their natural settings can get disturbed by any externally induced anthropological activities or by naturally occurring calamities or disaster. So, once this setting is disturbed, it sometimes is either practically impossible or may take a longer time to come back to its original state. Hence changes in the status of flora and fauna are an elementary requirement of Environmental Impact Assessment studies, in view of the need for conservation of environmental quality and biodiversity. Information on flora and fauna was collected within the study area. Floral Compositions The zone of Ahemadabad Taluka shows fairly rich in plant biodiversity having more of annual and Perennial herbaceous vegetation. The small hillocks existing in the perimeter of the proposed project site are already degraded forest patches and mainly comprised of planted trees and shrubs. Among the plant biodiversity none of the species belongs to IUCN red list as well as schedule species as per wildlife list.Vegetation near villages and along the road was represented by trees and shrubs. Dominant vegetation of a study area was Bushes. Flora detail is presented in Table below;

Figure 3-22 Population Literacy of the study area 3.12.8 Occupational Pattern Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wage. Such participation may be physical and/ or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also include supervision and direction of work. It even includes part time help or unpaid work on farm, family enterprise or its economic activity. All persons engaged in work as defined above are workers. The overall percentage of workers in the area is 35.25%. Population is 22152.

Out of total working population 86.10% are main workers. Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. 6 months or more) are term main workers. Total main workers are 19072. Whereas 13.90% are marginal working population. The marginal workers are those workers, who are engaged in some work for a period of less than six months, during the reference year prior to the census survey. The total marginal workers are 3080.

The percentage of working population is very low, the problem of unemployment is persistent because of lack of opportunities around the place. Setting up of the plant by Nuchem industries would definitely open up direct as well as indirect opportunities for the people in the surrounding area.

4 CHAPTER 4 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Prelude

This chapter identifies and predicts the potential impacts on different environmental components due to the construction and operation of the proposed expansion project. It details all the potential impacts on biophysical and socio-economic components of the local environment due to the proposed expansion activities and sub-activities.

This chapter presents identification and appraisal of the likely impacts due to the proposed expansion project of M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt. Ltd. Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment studies. Several qualitative and quantitative techniques and methodologies are used to conduct analysis of the potential impacts likely to build up as a result of the proposed development activities on physico-chemical, ecological and socio- economic environments. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of the environmental quality to derive at the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction and identification of impacts helps to minimize the adverse impacts and maximize the beneficial impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project execution.

4.2 Valued Environmental Components and Potential Impacts

The project activities will interact with various valued Environmental Components viz., air, water, soil, land, flora & fauna, etc. The components that may be affected due to the proposed expansion of Specialty Chemicals and require focused evaluation are summarized in the following sub-sections, considering both construction phase as well as operation phase of the project.

4.3 Potential Impacts during Project construction phase All the impacts due to following activities during construction phase will be short term and limited up to plot area.  Site cleaning  Leveling and road laying  Earthwork comprising of excavation, grading, trenching  Transportation of construction materials  Civil work  Mechanical erection  Employment

109

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

 Domestic activities by workers  Greenbelt development

4.4 Potential Impacts during Operation Phase: Each individual activity listed has its own impact on each environmental parameter. After commissioning of the proposed expansion project, operation phase will have permanent (long term) impact due to said activities.  Raw material & product storage, handling and transportation  Manufacturing process & utility operations (consumption of resources & emission of liquid effluent, flue & process gas, generation of solid/hazardous waste and Noise)  Employment  Green Belt Development  Infrastructure development & CER activities

Other factors/situation such as breakdown of critical systems, induced growth in the vicinity of factory etc. will influence the environmental parameters. During an emergency situation, the impact scenario will be completely different from normal operation and the impact on the surrounding environment will be adverse. To make sure that the proposed expansion project does not leave behind any negative impacts, the adverse impacts are also identified for emergency during EIA study.

4.5 Prediction of Environmental Impacts Prediction of impacts involves determination of nature and extent of impacts due to the various activities to be involved in the proposed expansion project. Generally, impacts are classified as follows; 1. Positive or Negative 2. Short term or Long term 3. Significant or insignificant or moderate 4. Direct or indirect 5. Reversible or irreversible 6. Quantifiable or non-quantifiable 7. Acceptable or conditionally acceptable or unacceptable Looking to the project site, magnitude of project and pollution potential, impacts have been predicted for following two classifications;

4.8 Evaluation of Impacts using mathematical model

4.8.1 Air Quality Modelling AERMOD View – Lake Environmental Software, which is a Gaussian-Plume atmospheric dispersion algorithm for estimating concentration of pollutant, has been used to predict the Ground Level Concentrations (GLC’s) of PM10, SO2 and NOx due to plant activity. The GLC’s were predicted on 24 hourly average basis keeping in view the prescribed national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).

4.8.2 Data used for Modeling The hourly meteorological data along with emission rate for individual pollutants used for prediction of air quality impacts as given in chapter 2 has been taken into consideration.

4.8.3 Particulate matter (PM10)

The predicted concentrations of PM10 for Post Monsoon season are shown in the form of isopleths in Figure and Table.

The prediction results corresponding to PM10, SO2 and NOx as shown above indicate that the air quality impacts with respect to pollutants exclusively from the proposed expansion projects would be insignificant and the post-project status shall remain under prescribed NAAQS for Industrial, Residential and other areas.

Also, during the operation phase of the project, the impacts on air quality due to vehicular emissions will be very less. Considering the nature of activities, which the proposed expansion project will result, less number of vehicular movements within the site and low threshold values, air pollution is not expected to be a major concern. It is for these reasons that the ambient air quality predictions using models have not been carried out for fugitive emissions from vehicles.

4.8.6 Noise Environment

There will be chances of increase in noise level due to the operation of plant and machineries for manufacturing activities, utility operations and transportation of products, raw materials and fuel.

Exposure to continuous and extensive noise at a level higher than 85 dB may lead to hearing loss. Continuous hearing loss differs from person to person with the level, frequency and duration of the noise exposed. Negative effects of noise on human beings are generally of a physiological and psychological nature. Hearing losses are the most common effects among the physiological ones. Blood pressure increases, heart beat accelerations, appearance of muscle reflexes, sleeping disorders may be considered among the other physiological effects. The psychological effects of noise are more common compared to the psychological ones and they can be seen in the forms of annoyance, stress, anger and concentration disorders as well as difficulties in resting and perception.

123

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

Main source of noise in proposed expansion plant is D. G. Set. However, the same will be stand by and operated only in case of main power failure. Proper and timely lubrication, oiling and maintenance is carried out for all plant and machineries. Thus, there will not be any major source of higher noise generation which can be propagated in vicinity. Ear plugs and ear muffs are provided to the workers working in high noise area. Greenbelt will act as a barrier to the spread of noise in the vicinity.

Regular noise monitoring will be carried out at the prominent place in the premises. As far as the noise that will be generated due to the transportation is concerned, the same will be minimized through transportation only in day time and by maintaining transportation vehicles properly.

4.8.7 Water Environment

Domestic wastewater generated will be treated in STP. The final treated industrial effluent from ETP will be sent to CETP for further treatment and disposal and RO Reject will be sent to inhouse Spray Dryer.

Pucca flooring is done in ETP area to avoid any type of leakage that can be percolated into soil and contaminated ground water. Thus, there will not be any adverse impact on Ground water as well as Surface water during operation phase.

4.8.8 Land Environment

During operation activity the impact of air, water and solid waste pollution on soil causes direct and indirect effect on soil. For this, all the necessary air pollution control system will be provided. So that there will not be any adverse impact on soil.

There will be no adverse effect of wastewater on soil since the treated effluent generated from the ETP will be sent to CETP for further treatment and disposal and RO Reject will be sent to inhouse Spray Dryer.

All necessary control steps/measures will be provided in proposed plant for handling, storage and disposal of solid/ hazardous waste generated. Industry has also developed greenbelt within the premises which prevent soil erosion which may change the land use.

4.8.9 Soil Quality

Impact: There are no major sources of land contamination from waste spillage. The used oil shall be collected in drums and shall be sold to the authorized recyclers identified by the GPCB/ CPCB.

4.8.10 Socio-Economic Environment

Proposed expansion project will have long term positive impact on socio-economic environment due to generation of direct employment for 20 about People. Preference will be given to the local people from then nearby villages as per the requirement. In addition, secondary job will be increased because of the day-to-day needs with the upcoming proposed the project. This will increase the employment opportunity in the area as well as improve the living standard of the people in the area which also will help in improving educational, medical, health and sanitation awareness in the people. Local employees will get benefited by facilities like drinking water, sanitation, first aid etc. provided by client.

Moreover, unit carries out CER activities in the nearby area in the field of health, sanitation, medical aids, educational aids and contribution in infrastructural development which has beneficial impacts on socio-economic environment.

4.8.11 Ecology and Biodiversity

There is no sanctuary and national park within the 10 km area from the proposed expansion project site. Also no rare and endangered flora and fauna have been reported during study in 10 km area surrounding to the project site. Proposed expansion project will be carried out in the owned land and no vegetation will be required to be cleared.

Chances of adverse effect on ecology due to the proposed expansion project may occur due to air pollution caused by flue gases emission. However, unit has adequate environmental management systems. Regular monitoring of various parameters will be carried out. Thus, there will not be any adverse impact occurred on surrounding ecology due to the proposed project. Greenbelt development will have positive impact on flora and fauna.

4.8.12 Occupational Health

Several health related issues can be occurred with the workers of chemical industries due to long term exposure in dusting, noisy area, handling of some hazardous chemicals, gaseous emissions etc.

In the proposed expansion unit, drinking water and sanitation facilities are provided to workers. All the necessary personal protective equipments will be provided for the respective works. The unit will provide such arrangements to minimize manual handling of chemicals and hazardous wastes. Regular health check-ups are carried out of all the workers and records shall be maintained for the same. Medical, fire and safety trainings are given time-to-time.

4.8.13 Geo- Hydrology There should be proper collection and handling of effluent to avoid any leakages and spillages. It is recommended to provide pucca flooring in the process area as well as in chemical storage area. Chemical storage area is to be provided with dyke wall to control or stop the effluent discharge on land which may contaminate soil. Industry should explore the possibility of reuse/recycle and other cleaner production options for reduction of waste and to conserve fresh water. Specific mitigation as the creation of sediment retention basins or planting of rapidly growing vegetation to improve the moist condition of soil and control soil erosion. To perform rain water harvesting system for ground water recharge purpose as it is simple, economical and ecofriendly. It reduce run off ground water pollution and soil erosion. 4.8.14 Odor Control

Some of the processes and wastes generated from the plant may release high odour. Undesirable odour contributes to air quality concerns and affect human lifestyles. On the economic front, loss of property value near odour causing operations/industries and odorous environment is partly a consequence of offensive odour. Odour is undoubtedly the most complex of all the air pollution problems. Mainly odour generated by the industries varies enormously since they can be generated during the production, processing, or even in the wastewater treatment areas of the plants. Mitigation Measures:  Sampling points will be provided with double valve followed by suction hoods which will be connected to ducting system leading to charcoal bed.  Odour causing raw materials will be charged in closed chambers with exhaust of chambers connected to ducting system. Additional Measures:  Odour rounds by non-plant personnel will hold regular meetings and odour rounds in the factory premises for ensuring effective implementation of odour control measures.  As a long-term measure to improve the environment, plantation of trees within factory premises as well as along the nearby roads is proposed.  All critical vessels, pumps, reactors which have potential to generate odour will be fitted with mechanical seals to prevent leakage and therefore odour.  De-odorize solution will be sprayed through special network, which will be laid around the plant. It will help in neutralizing the fugitive emissions.  Beneath all sample points/ drain points, spill control powder containing trays will be kept so as to adsorb even slightest of leakage, if at all arises from these points.

7.1 Public Hearing Public hearing is not applicable since the project falls in notified industrial area. 7.2 Introduction The consequence analysis is carried out to determine the extent of spread (dispersion) by accidental release which may lead to jet fire, pool fire, tank fire resulting into generating heat radiation, overpressures, explosions etc.

In order to form an opinion on potentially serious hazardous situations and their consequences, consequence analysis of potential failure scenarios is conducted. It is quantitative analysis of hazards due to various failure scenarios. In consequence analysis, each failure case is considered in isolation and damage effects predicted, without taking into the account of the secondary events or failures it may cause, leading to a major disastrous situation. The results of consequence analysis are useful in developing disaster management plan and in developing a sense of awareness among operating and maintenance personnel. It also gives the operating personnel and population living in its vicinity, an understanding of the hazard they are posed to.

7.3 Risk Assessment

Objective of the Study Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) study for M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd, Vatva has been carried out based on data provided by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd, Vatva. The main objective of risk assessment -Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is to identify and determine the potential damage or loss of life, property and environment and to provide a scientific argument for decision makers to provide and maintain the safety levels of the facilities to prevent or mitigate harm and loses. This is achieved by the following:  Identification of hazards that could be realized from manufacturing processes, plant equipment and machinery, raw materials and products.  Identify the potential failure scenarios that could occur within the facility.  To Asses, the potential risks associated with identified hazards to which the plant and its personal and community outside may be subjected. Consequences analysis of various hazards is carried out to determine the vulnerable zones for each probable accident scenario.  Evaluate the process hazards emanating from the identified potential accident scenarios.  Analyze the damage effects to the surroundings due to such accidents.  Conclusion and Recommendation to mitigate measures to reduce the hazard / risks.  To provide guidelines for the preparation of On-site response plan.

Selected Failure Cases Earlier, it was the practice to select a particular item in a unit as failure scenario, e.g. rupture of reactor outlet pipe. Such selection is normally subjective on following parameters:  Properties of material namely Toxic or Flammable.  The likely severity of consequence in the event of accidental release based on inventory, operated pressure & operated temperature.  The probability of failure of various equipments such as valves, flanges, pipe, pressure vessels etc. used in the plant.

Size of Release: For accidental releases identified for consequence analysis is 50 mm leakage. The scenarios are considered to be confined to those equipment failures which involve the leakage of flammable or toxic products, of which the frequency of occurrence and the severity of the consequences have been taken into consideration and which may have a low probability of early detection. Taking this factor into consideration, a list of selected failure cases was prepared based on process knowledge, inventory, engineering judgment, and experience, past incidents associated with such facilities and considering the general mechanisms for loss of containment. Cases have been identified for the consequence analysis.

Effect of Release When hazardous material is released to atmosphere due to any reason, a vapor cloud is formed. Direct cloud formation occurs when a gaseous or flashing liquid escapes to the atmosphere. 1. Dispersion of hydrocarbon vapor with wind till it reaches its lower flammability limit (LFL) or finds a source of ignition before reaching LFL, which will result in a flash fire or explosion. 2. Spillage of liquid hydrocarbons will result in a pool of liquid, which will evaporate taking heat from the surface, forming a flammable atmosphere above it. Ignition of this pool will result in pool fire causing thermal radiation hazards. 3. A fireball or BLEVE (Boiling Liquid expanding Vapor Explosion) occurs when a vessel containing a highly volatile liquid (e.g. LPG, Propylene etc.) fails and the released large mass of vapor cloud gets ignited immediately. It has damage potential due to high intensity of radiation and generation of the overpressure waves, causing large scale damage to nearby equipment and structures. 4. Catastrophic failure of tanks/ pressurized vessels, rotary equipment and valves etc. can result in equipment fragments flying and hitting other equipment of the plant. 5. Release of toxic compounds results in the toxic vapour cloud traveling over long distances, affecting a large area, before it gets sufficiently diluted to harmless concentration in the atmosphere. 6. The material is in two phases inside the containment - liquid & vapor. Depending on the location of the leak liquid or vapor will be released from the containment. If vapor is released a vapor cloud will form by the mixing of the vapor and air. The size of the vapor cloud will depend on the rate of release, wind speed; wind direction & atmospheric stability will determine the dispersion and movement of the vapor cloud. 7. If liquid is released there will be some flashing as the boiling point of liquid is below the ambient temperature. The vapor formed by immediate flashing will behave as vapor

release. The liquid will fall on the ground forming a pool. There will be vaporization from the pool due to the heat gained from the atmosphere & ground. 8. There will be dispersion and movement of vapor cloud formed by evaporation of liquid. 9. The behavior of material released by loss of containment depends on the following factors: 1. Physical properties of the material 2. Conditions of material in containment (pressure and temperature) 3. Phase of material released (liquid or gas) 4. Inventory of material released 5. Weather parameters (temperature, humidity, wind speed, atmospheric stability) 6. Material with boiling point below ambient condition.

Styrene monomer handling and storage safety details

Styrene polymerization is initiated by heat, lack of inhibitor and dissolved oxygen, and contact with peroxides and other free-radical initiators, ionic initiators, and redox initiators. Normally temperatures above 65°C (149°F) are needed to initiate runaway polymerizations.

 PRODUCT LOADING AND UNLOADING REQUIREMENTS

1) Use only clean, oil- and dirt-free, spark-resistant tools and implements. 2) Do not stand within the gauge of the track until the hand brake of the tank car is known to be secured and the brake shoes are tight against the treads of the wheels. 3) Submerged filling is recommended for all flammable liquids. The inlet line should discharge at, or near, the bottom and make electrical contact with the tank to eliminate

168

,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

uncontrolled electrical discharge. 4) Operators wearing rubber-soled shoes, particularly on certain composition floors made of good insulating materials, may pick up considerable static electricity. 5) Carefully vent the car through a flame arrester during unloading 6) If unloading is interrupted, disconnect all unloading connections, close all valves tightly and securely apply all other closures to a tool tight condition, except the thermometer well which should be applied hand tight.

 PREVENTION OF POLYMERIZATION :

1) Polymerization during storage may be prevented by close attention to monomer temperature, inhibitor level, polymer content and oxygen content. 2) Determinations of inhibitor content, oxygen level in the vapor space, polymer content, and monomer temperature should be made on a routine basis 3) Styrene-containing vessels should be protected from external sources of heat. 4) Running pumps against closed valves (dead-heading) should be avoided. 5) Care should be taken that vents, valves, pressure-relief devices, gauges, and controls do not become plugged with polymer.

 HANDLING RUNAWAY POLYMERIZATIONS

1) Add up to 0.5% TBC and aerate. Aeration can be accomplished by bubbling in air, or stirring the product while exposed to air. Facilities storing and handling styrene monomer should have TBC inhibitor on hand in case of emergency. 2) Reduce temperature of tank with water spray. If the tank is insulated, the insulation should be removed as quickly as possible and prior to spraying with water. Use ice, if feasible, but not in the product directly, as it will tend to remove the TBC. If placed in the product, ice should be in a sealed metal container. 3) Keep vessel vented 4) Dilute with ethylbenzene or toluene if tank is not venting and product temperature is below 231°F (110°C) to retard polymerization and reduce viscosity. 5) If possible remove product from tank before it solidifies, to save the tank. Use drums, diked area, or float on water.

 INHIBITION

1) TBC (4-tert-butylcatechol) is customarily added to styrene to prevent polymer formation and oxidative degradation during storage. 2) The TBC level should be checked at regular intervals. 3) If the inhibitor has been depleted and polymerization has begun, inhibitor should be added immediately.

169

,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

4) Additional inhibitor should be added when inhibitor levels drops below 10 ppm to maintain adequate inhibition. 5) After addition, the storage tank should be recirculated until inhibitor is uniformly mixed and testing shows that target levels have been achieved. The tank should also be aerated to provide the proper amount of dissolved oxygen.

 It is recommended to store the drums having flammable material at low height to avoid accidental damage and fire hazards during the transfer of drums using forklifts

7.6 Treatment and Control After examining the high priority risks, a prime consideration is given to the potential to reduce or eliminate the risk by using the hierarchy of controls. This assists in establishing methods to reduce risk. The desirability of control plans (with reducing effectiveness) is as follows;

 Elimination: Take step to eliminate the hazard completely,  Separation: Isolate hazard from person by guarding, space,  Engineering Control- Provide Sensors, Alarms, Interlock for safeguarding people, property & environment.  Administrative Control (Training): Increasing awareness, improving skills and making tasks less hazardous to persons involved,  Personal protective equipment: Use appropriately designed and properly fitted PPE.

Control measures can reduce either the likelihood or consequence of the event or both. Depending on the level of reduction of the hazard, there could still be a residual risk that needs to be monitored so that a secondary prevention process can be initiated when trigger points are reached.

Hazardous event Possible consequences Treatment and control Loss of Containment (LOC) Fire, explosion and toxic N2 blanketed, dike, foam, water, Rupture / leak in storage Hazards Ready availability of fire tanks extinguishers and fire hydrant system

Precautions to be taken during Transportation

7.7 Disaster Management Plan Introduction to Disaster Management Plan The proponent of M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd .a proposed project located at Industrial estate, Vatva, Gujarat, 382445.

A Disaster Management Plan is prepared to meet any grave emergency which can occur due to Natural Disasters such as Floods, Earthquakes, or due to Man-Made Disasters such as Acts of war and Fires, Power failures, etc.

An Action Plan has been drawn to fix responsibility and actions to be taken by various groups to meet and contain the disaster within shortest possible time and with minimum loss to men, material and property. It is the responsibility of all the individuals in their respective areas to ensure the success of this plan. This plan shall be circulated for benefit / training of all individuals residing in the premises.

Objective The objective of the plan is to handle emergency situation that may arise due to spillage and fire while handling plant & equipment and any adverse effect on employees and public at large is minimized and normalcy is restored within shortest possible time.

The Disaster Management Plan is aimed to ensure safety of life, protection of environment, protection of installations, restoration of production and salvage operations in this same order of priorities. For effective implementation of the Disaster Management Plan, it will be widely circulated and personnel training given through rehearsals/drills.

Disaster management plan/Emergency Response Plan (action plan) has been drawn to fix responsibility & actions to be taken by various groups to meet & contain the emergency within shortest possible time & with minimum loss to men, materials, machines & property. It is

173

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

responsibility of all individuals in their respective areas to ensure success of this plan. This plan will be circulated for benefit / training of all individuals working.

The major functions & objectives to formulate the plan are: i) To mobilize the available / trained manpower and handle the emergency from:  On-site (within factory)  Off-site (through outside agencies).  To ascertain urgently the likely area of influence and take actions for warnings, control of disaster with minimum damage to men, material, machines and evacuation of employees / public, identify the persons affected / dead, arrange first aid / medical help to the victims.  Inform relatives of the casualties; provide authoritative information to News Media & others; preserve relevant records & equipments needed as evidence in any subsequent inquiry.  Approach District Administration / Civil authorities etc. in order to ensure prompt relief for execution of Emergency Response Plan. This document sets out the Disaster management plan/emergency plans for all levels of accident ranging from a local incident within the site boundary to a situation that requires outside support.

The objectives of the Disaster management plan /emergency plan are:

 To protect lives of working personnel and nearby population.  To contain the hazards and to control their spread.  To minimize the impact on the environment.  To minimize the loss to plant and production.

Definition and scope A major emergency is defined as one, which may affect one or several sections of the plant and possibly extend beyond the factory boundaries. It may cause serious injuries, loss of life or extensive damage to property.

The Disaster Management Plan has been prepared in order to provide proper guidance to plant operating personnel to confidently handle any accidental spillage or fire / explosion or any natural calamity or sabotage. With this objective, comprehensive information has been assembled in the materials used, about its hazardous properties, fire hazards, safety appliances, safety measures incorporated in the plant, emergency procedures and finally regarding the constitution & responsibility of Emergency Rescue Team (Emergency Response & Management Team / Task Force).

Methodology A major emergency occurring at a plant is one that may cause serious injuries, loss of life, extensive damage to property or environment or serious disruption inside or outside the plants.

174

Ahmedabad-382445 ,Gujarat by M/s. Nuchem Dyestuff Pvt Ltd.

This may demand the rescue and relief measures on a war footing to handle it effectively and quickly. Within the high-risk technology industries, the need for well-planned measures should be self-evident.

No matter how well a process is controlled and safeguarded by instruments and process safety procedures, it is inevitable that there is a residual risk, which is capable of causing a variety of emergencies.

The Factories Act, 1948 as amended in the year 1987 under section 41B requires that every occupier shall draw up a Disaster Management Plan and detailed disaster control measures for his plant and make them know to the employees and to the general public living in the vicinity of the plant. Its objective is to reduce the severity of loss following particular hazardous incidents. At the same time, must be clearly understood that it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards for working consistently with the requirements of safety and health inside the plants.

Level of disasters

The Guidelines (NDMA Guidelines) categorize the levels of disasters into L0, L1, L2, & L3 based on the ability of various authorities to deal with them. In short, in order to facilitate the responses and assistances to States and Districts, the levels of disasters have been defined as follows. L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring, documentation, prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation and inventory updating for response activities will be carried out during this time. 1. L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the State and Centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed. 2. L2 level disaster situations are those which require assistance and participation of State, mobilization of its resources for management of resources. 3. L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and District authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central Government for reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue, relief, other response and recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity of the disaster as determined by the concerned technical agencies like Indian meteorological department (IMD)/ Indian National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) are sufficient for the declaration of L3 disaster.

10 CHAPTER 10 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 Introduction The main purpose of the Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to identify project specific actions that will be undertaken by the project authority for mitigation of the specific impacts identified for the proposed expansion project. These actions will be incorporated into project management system and integrated into the implementation at various stages of proposed expansion project. The EMP describes both generic good practice measures and site-specific measures, the implementation of which is aimed at mitigating potential impact associated with the project activity.

10.2 Objectives of the EMP The main objective of Environmental Management Plan is to warrant that the industrial development in an identified particular study area needs to be entangled with judicious utilization of non-renewable resources and to ensure that the stress/load on the ecosystem is within its permissible assimilative capacity i.e. its carrying capacity. In above context, assimilative capacity refers to the maximum amount of pollution load that can be discharged into the environment without affecting the designated use of various environmental attributes and is governed by dilution, dispersion and removal due to physico-chemical and biological process. An effective EMP ensures that these environmental requirements and objectives are satisfied during all phases of project. The long-term objectives of the EMP for all the environmental attributes are as under:

 To comply with all the regulations / applicable laws stipulated by Central & State Pollution Control Boards.

 To create good working conditions (devoid of air & noise pollution) for employees.

 To rationalize and streamline environmental activities to add value in efficiency and effectiveness.

 To encourage and achieve highest performance and response from individual employees and contractors.

 To plan out the complete strategy to take care of stakeholder engagement.

 Perspective budgeting and allocation of funds for environment management expenditure.

 To contribute significantly for sustainable development.

 To encourage support and conduct developmental works for the purpose of achieving environmental standards and to improve methods of environment management.

 Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a cleaner and better environment.

10.7 Greenbelt Development Plan The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant and the surrounding areas. The green belt helps to halt soil erosion, make the eco-system more sustainable, make the climate more conductive and restore water balance. The green belt helps to capture the fugitive emissions and to attenuate the noise generated in the plant apart from improving the aesthetics of the plant site. Considering the environmental status of project area four main parameters like salinity, drought, fire resistance, species with faster growth rate and evergreen nature have been considered while selecting the species. Facts considered during selection of plant species for greenbelt development are:

 Agro climatic zone (dry sub humid – as per CPCB) of the project area

 Evergreen species to mitigate cumulative impacts due to other industries also.

 Type of pollutant (mainly air) likely to disperse from project activities.

 Biological–filter Efficiency: Absorption of gases, Dust capturing and noise control.
