Design of Sewage Treatment Plant Sequencing batch reactors (SBR) or sequential batch reactors are a type of activated sludge process for the treatment of wastewater. SBR reactors treat wastewater such as sewage or output from anaerobic digesters or mechanical biological treatment facilities in batches. Oxygen is bubbled through the mixture of wastewater and activated sludge to reduce the organic matter (measured as biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) and chemical oxygen demand (COD)). The treated effluent may be suitable for discharge to surface waters or possibly for use on land. Total waste water generation from hotel will be 135 KLD and capacity of STP will be 150 KLD. Design of STP is as below:

 Prevention of soil erosion  Modification of micro-climate; change in air temperature are moderated.  Reduction in evaporation of soil moisture.  Air created through photosynthesis dilutes polluted air and increases the ratio of "clean to dirty" air.  Moisture that plants give off traps airborne particles and acts as a filter for some pollutants.  Leaves of plants trap airborne particles and hold them until they are washed to the ground by rain.  Noise can be reduced. Plant parts break up sound waves, changing their direction and reduce their intensity. Densely grown plants are best for sound control.

For tree plantation preference will be given to local tree with large leafs & dense foliage for shading & reduction of air & noise pollution. The following plants species are suggested for plantation in different areas are as given in Table 10. Table 10.0: Proposed Plants Species for Greenbelt Development S No Botanical Name Common Name 1.

16. ENVIRONMENTAL POLLUTION MITIGATION MEASURES

16.1 Air Pollution

DG set is only the main source of air pollution in proposed project that is not going to cause significant increase in atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in heat island formation because of DG set only used as power back-up and runs only during power cut.

Mitigation Measures for Air Pollution during Construction Stage

Air quality around the project site will be impacted during construction stage. Various construction activities especially related to handling of loose material are likely to generate fugitive dust that will affect the air quality of the surrounding area of the project site. To minimize such impacts following measures has been proposed:

. All the loose material either stacked or transported will be provided with suitable covering such as tarpaulin, etc. . Water sprinkling shall be done at the locations where dust generation is anticipated. . To minimize the occupational health hazard, proper personal protective gears i.e. mask shall be provided to the workers who are engaged in dust generation activity.

Mitigation Measures for Air Pollution during Operational Stage

Proposed construction of five star Hotel ‚Holiday Inn‛ at Khasra no 285, 286, 287, 288 of village Behsa & Khasra no 348 of village- Farukkhabad Chillawan Kanpur Road, Lucknow (UP) Conceptual Plan

Operation of DG Sets is the only source of air pollution during operational phase. Sufficient stack height will be provided for proper dispersion of pollutants. Also, it is proposed to minimize air pollution by providing plantation as buffer on the periphery of the project site and on the open spaces. An area of 3031 sq m of the total area has been kept for green development & plantation purposes.

16.2 Noise Pollution Three DG sets will be used for the power backup are only the source of the noise pollution. There is minor effect on noise environment due to vehicle movement in parking area.

Mitigation Measures for Noise Pollution during Construction Stage During the construction stage, expected noise levels shall be in the range of 80-85 dB (A) which will decrease with increase in distance as per the Inverse Square Law. Administrative as well as engineering control of noise will be implemented. Isolation of noise generation sources and temporal differentiation of noise generating activities will ensure minimum noise at receiver’s end. To prevent any occupational hazard, ear muff / ear plug shall be given to the workers working around or operating plant and machinery emitting high noise levels. Use of such plant or machinery shall not be allowed during night hour. Careful planning of machinery operation and scheduling of operations shall be done to minimize such impact.

Mitigation Measures for Noise Pollution during Operation Stage It is proposed to minimize the noise levels by providing plantation as buffer on the open spaces and around the periphery of whole complex Informatory signboards shall be provided to encourage vehicle owners to maintain their vehicle, not to blow horns and follow the emission standards fixed by Government Authorities. DG sets will be kept in the acoustic chamber and ambient noise will be within the CPCB standard limits.

17. RECOMMENDATIONS

 Make proper provision for solid waste management  Install solar system for lighting in common areas  It is recommended to aware the residents about environment  Proper maintenance of green area to be done.

18. PROJECT COST

The total estimated cost of the project is approximately Rs 117.87 Crore.
