The Main Process of this proposed unit is adhesive production of PRESSURE-SENSETIVE ADHESIVE by Emulsion Polymerisation. Major raw materials used in the said process are Butyl Acrylate (BA) and Methyl acrylic Acid (MA). The Polymerisation is first carried out at a temperature of around 80°C, where an emulsion of BA & MA is made in pre-emulsion tank with DM Water and specific emulsifiers. Mixture is thoroughly stirred to ensure its homogeneity during the process. In next steps, specific emulsifiers and additives are added to emulsion prepared with DM water in the reactor. Contents are then heated to about 75°C by steam heating in the Ms Jacket of the Reactor. Specific quantity of Emulsion (made in the pre-emulsion tank) is added to the reactor along with specific quantity of catalyst and then the contents are stirred to maintain proper heat transfer. This initiates the polymerisation reaction and after ensuring that the reaction has picked up, the balance quantity of the mixture in pre-emulsion tank is gradually fed into the reactor. Keeping a check on the rate of addition and maintaining temperature of reactor at 80°C (reaction being exothermic). Temperature is maintained by circulation of cooling water in the MS Jacket. Feed Rates are adjusted so that the addition is completed in about 3 hours and afterwards temperature is maintained at 82-83°C for 1hr. Special additives are added next and after ensuring that the reaction is complete and the product is cooled to 40°C, final dose of emulsifiers and

The estimated cost for the proposed project is 2 crores INR for phase I and the cost of implementation of all phases is expected to be about 10 Crores INR. 3. Environmental Setting 3.1 Study Period

The study period as per TOR is 3 months. Season March 2017 to May 2017 & additional 15 days data from 1st June to 15th June 2017 was taken as the study period as per recommendations of Industry II EAC MOEF&CC, GOI. Findings of the study are included in EIA Report.

3.2 Study Area

The study area is defined as area within 10 km radius of the project site, which is as per the MoEF&CC guidelines. Air, water, noise and soil samples were collected within 10 km. Detailed study of the area is given in Baseline chapter of the EIA report.

3.3 Climatology

Meteorological data of nearest meteorological IMD station at Bhuj of last 29 years (1971-2000), has been used for the study and summarized below: • The general pattern of wind in study area was observed and the prevailing wind direction shown from SW to NE. Second predominant wind pattern was observed from West to East direction. • The Maximum temperature of the area was recorded as 47.8°C in the month of May and Minimum temperature of the area was recorded as -0.2°C in the month of January. • The relative humidity was recorded in between 26 to 82%. • The annual rainfall of Bhuj (Nearest IMD Station having historical data) is 276.4 mm. 3.4 Ambient Air

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at Seven stations namely Onsite (South- West), Onsite (North- East) which are in the core zone and Bhadreshwar Village, Kukadsar Village, Tuna Village, Hatedi Village, Pavdiara village are in the buffer zone. Monitoring was carried out at Seven stations for the month of March 2017 to May 2017 & additional 15 days data from 1st June to 15th June 2017 was also collected. The guidelines for selections of ambient air monitoring stations given in IS – 5182 part 14, 2000 were followed. The parameters of monitoring were Particulate Matter PM10 and PM2.5, Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen Oxides(NOx). Monitoring of Volatile Organic Compounds(VOCs), and Carbon Monoxide (CO) was also carried out. Results obtained are summarized as follows: • The results show that all the results are within the limits of NAAQS, 2009 as given by CPCB. • PM results show little or no variation within different locations owing to good air pollution control systems and practices at the site. • The sulphur dioxide levels are also not high and this is mainly because diesel is not the most common fuel in the area and briquettes are used in industries for their steam/ power production.

Prepared by M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 12

Adhesives (chemical) Manufacturing Unit at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd. • NOX levels and VOCs levels are also within the limits. 3.5 Water Quality

To assess the water quality of the proposed area, 7 stations (6 ground water & 1 surface water) including near onsite location and 6 other locations were selected. Ground water (Borewell) was collected from 6 locations, near onsite, Bhadreshwar, Kukadsar, Tuna, Hatedi and Pavdiara. Surface water was collected from downstream to study the chemical parameters. During surface water sampling flow of water pays an important role. In present study, sources of surface water collected is High tide. Water samples were taken as per the Standard Methods (IS & APHA, 22nd Edition 2012). Necessary precautions were taken for preservation of samples. The physical parameters viz. pH, temperature and conductivity were measured at site using portable water analyzer. The pH of groundwater (Borewell) was within the range of 7.4- 8.5 near core and at Buffer zone. The Total Dissolved Solids of the sampling location Near Site (1504 mg/l), Kukadsar (2262 mg/l), Tuna (1072 mg/l), Hatedi (1195 mg/l) & Pavdiara (2019 mg/l) are found above than the drinking water standards (IS:10500) due to increased dissolution or evaporative enrichment. Human activities may also have affected the TDS levels in ground water i.e. application of synthetic fertilizers, manures, and wastewater percolation can all contribute salt to groundwater. High values of TDS influence the taste, hardness, and corrosive property of the water and causes excessive scaling in water pipes, heaters, boilers, and household appliances. The Total Hardness at Bhadreshwar (308 mg/l), Tuna (316 mg/l) & Pavidra (380 mg/l) are found to be higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). The hardness contributed due to seepage and run off from soil. Hardness is normally considered an aesthetic water quality factor because of the unpleasant taste that a high concentration of calcium and other ions give to water. It reduces the ability of soap to produce lather and cause scale formation in pipes and on plumbing fixtures. The Magnesium Concertation in the areas Bhadreshwar (35.0 mg/l), Tuna (36.9 mg/l) & Pavdiara (54.4 mg/l) is found to be higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). Magnesium at high concentration contributes to undesirable taste and may have laxative effect. 3.6 Noise

Noise was monitored at 2 stations within the project site (onsite/core zone) and at 6 stations in the buffer zone. At each station noise level was monitored for 24-hours simultaneously. For each measurement, dB (A) readings was taken for every 15 minutes for 24 hrs ones in a season to get Leq values. At both onsite /core zone, noise levels were within the standard limits of Industrial area. Whereas, in the buffer zone noise levels were higher than the standard limit of residential areas which may be sue to due to local residential activity and vehicular movement at approach road. 3.7 Soil Quality

To assess the Soil profile and quality of the proposed area 6 different locations were selected; one Onsite, 5 in buffer zone- Bhadreshwar, Kukadsar, Tuna, Hatedi and Pavdiara. Texture of the soil at Onsite is observed to be clay loam and clay to clay loam in the buffer zone areas. Primary nutrient profile shows average fertile soil along the stretch. 3.8 Biological Environment

In the core zone where construction is to be done is a vacant land with scanty plant species and degraded bushes like Prosopis juliflora, Calatropis gigantean etc. The project will have green area of 0.18 ha. All necessary measures will be taken to prevent any impact on flora and fauna. Faunal diversity in the core site was limited to Butterflies, insects, animals like rats, Camels etc. The core site has avifauna species like crow, pigeon, sparrow parrot, etc. Buffer zone of the area mainly comprises of habitation. Therefore, the huge diversity in vegetation is not found. The buffer zone comprises diversity of animals. Among reptiles ‘Calotes versicolor, Chamaeleo calyptratus, etc are common. Cobra (Naja naja) is also reported to have been seen by nearby villagers in the Buffer Zone. Among mammals Herpestes edwardsii, Vulpes bengalensis, Sus scrofa etc are found. In

2.5 Manufacturing process The Main Process of this proposed unit is adhesive production of PRESSURE-SENSETIVE ADHESIVE by Emulsion Polymerisation. Major raw materials used in the said process are Butyl Acrylate (BA) and Methyaacrylic Acid (MA). The Polymerisation is first carried out at a temperature of around 80°C, where an emulsion of BA & MA is made in pre-emulsion tank with DM Water and specific emulsifiers. Mixture is thoroughly stirred to ensure its homogeneity during the process. In next steps, specific emulsifiers and additives are added to emulsion prepared with DM water in the reactor. Contents are then heated to about 75°C by steam heating in the Ms Jacket of the Reactor. Specific quantity of Emulsion (made in the pre-emulsion tank) is added to the reactor along with specific quantity of catalyst and then the contents are stirred to maintain proper heat transfer. This initiates the polymerisation reaction and after ensuring that the reaction has picked up, the balance quantity of the mixture in pre-emulsion tank is gradually fed into the reactor. Keeping a check on the rate of addition and maintaining temperature of reactor at 80°C (reaction being exothermic). Temperature is maintained by circulation of cooling water in the MS Jacket. Feed Rates are adjusted so that the addition is completed in about 3 hours and afterwards temperature is maintained at 82-83°C for 1hr. Special additives are added next and after ensuring

Chapter 3: ENVIRONMENTAL BASE LINE DATA

3.1 INTRODUCTION EIA report contains a description of existing environment that would be or might be affected directly or indirectly by proposed project. Environmental baseline monitoring is a very important stage of EIA. Environmental baseline monitoring, during the operational phase, helps in judging the success of mitigation measures in protecting the environment. Environmental facets that are considered in relation to Construction of an Adhesive (Chemical) Manufacturing Unit can be categorized into following groups: a) Topography b) Ambient air quality c) Noise quality d) Water quality e) Soil quality f) Land use g) Biological Environment h) Socio-economic status i) Traffic density

The intention of environmental baseline monitoring is not just to describe all baseline conditions but to focus the collection and description of baseline data on those environmental conditions that are important and are likely to be affected by the proposed project activities and is included in impact assessments. The project is Adhesive (Chemical) Manufacturing Unit located at Village: Bhadreshwar, District: Kutch, Gujarat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd. At present baseline of the area is discussed in this chapter. 3.2 Methodology For the present study, all the sampling locations are marked with the help of topographical maps. The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using Satellite imagery, topographical maps, Survey of India and ground truth information. The baseline environmental quality has been assessed during Summer Season (March 2017 to May 2017) & additional 15 days data from 1st June to 15th June 2017 was also collected. Meteorological data of IMD station at Bhuj, Gujrat has been used for the study. Samples of air, water and soil from the site and nearby areas has been collected and analysed for the study of existing condition. Primary and secondary data collection has been done by the Ecology and Biodiversity team for the study of flora and fauna in the core and Buffer Zone. The baseline data is generated through field study within the impact zone (Core Zone and Buffer Zone) for various components of the environment viz. Air, Noise, Water, Land, Ecology and Socioeconomic. The baseline environmental quality has been assessed during Summer Season (March 2017 to May 2017) & additional 15 days data from 1st June to 15th June 2017 was also collected in a study area of 10 Km radius

3.5 Ambient Air Quality The ambient air quality monitoring was done to assess the ambient air quality. Monitoring was carried out at Seven stations for the month of March 2017 to May 2017 & additional 15 days data from 1st June to 15th June 2017 was also collected. The guidelines for selections of ambient air monitoring stations given in IS – 5182 part 14, 2000 were followed. These guidelines state that, “when the objective of air sampling is to identify the contribution from specific sources of pollution, the sampling locations should be in upwind and the downwind of such sources”. The location of air quality monitoring stations should satisfy the following conditions: 1. The site should be representative of the area selected; 2. The station should be set up and operated to yield data that can be compared with those from stations within the network; and, 3. Certain physical requirements should be satisfied at the site. 3.5.1 Sampling Stations To select the air sampling locations, meteorological data with respect to temperature, relative humidity, wind speed and direction plays a vital role. Predominant wind direction plays an important role in determining location of monitoring stations. The monitoring station will be in area that is Upwind and Downwind from the source. Location of Air sampling stations is shown below Table 3-8; Sampling Location for Ambient Air Quality

3.5.3 Sampling Procedure Time averaged in – situ sampling was adopted by passing a known volume of air through a trap, and a collecting medium (filter paper and bubbler). Respirable Dust Sampler was used for the purpose. This procedure was adopted because there are no short-term variations and low concentration of gaseous pollutants was expected.

3.5.4 Analytical methods followed for ambient air quality monitoring: I. Particulate Matter (PM2.5): (USEPA Quality Assurance Hand Book (Vol.II) Part II,Quality Assurance

Guideline Document,2.12): Particulate Matter (PM2.5) was analyzed by Gravimetric Method.

Prepared by M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 71

Adhesives (chemical) Manufacturing Unit at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd.

Particulate matter was collected on the 37 mm dia glass micro fiber Filter Paper. PM2.5 value is determined from the values of volume of air passes through Ambient Fine Dust Sampler.

II. Particulate Matter (PM10) (IS:5182 Part 23:2006): Particulate Matter (PM10) was carried out by Respirable Dust sampler as per IS: 5182(Part 23):2006. Particulate matter was collected on the GF/A Filter Paper. Particles with aerodynamics diameter less than the cut-point of the inlet are collected by the filter. The mass of these particles is determined by the difference in filter weight prior to and after sampling.

III. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) (IS: 5182; Part – II – 2001): Sulphur dioxide is absorbed by aspirating a measured air sample through a solution of Potassium or sodium tetrachloromercurate, TCM. This procedure results in the formation of a dichloro sulphite mercurate complex. The Sulphite Ion produced during sampling is reacted with sulphamic acid, formaldehyde and pararosaniline to form an azo dye and then determined colorimetricaly. IV. Nitrogen Oxides (IS: 5182; Part – VI – 2006): Nitrogen dioxide is collected by bubbling air through a sodium hydroxide- sodium arsenite solution to form a stable solution of sodium Nitrite. The Nitrite Ion Produced during sampling is reacted with hydrogen peroxide, Sulphanilamide and NEDA to form an azodye and then determined calorimetrically. V. Carbon monoxide (CO): Carbon Monoxide(CO) (IS:5182;Part -10-1999) : Samples containing Carbon monoxide in the range if 0 to 100 mg/l are analysed on a non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) absorption gas analyser, namely, an electro-optical spectrophotometer with no spectral dispersion component. It may consist of a single or double source of infrared energy and one or more infrared detectors separated by an optical cell or cells to one or more of which the sample flows, whereby the specific spectral absorption of the component of interest is determined.

VI. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) (USEPA 0031/ ASTM D6889): Samples were analysed by USEPA method 0031 for collection of samples from site, i.e. properly sealed in tubes, locked and refrigerated until desorbed; these were desorbed at laboratory and further analysed by using SPME technique and followed by injection to GC similar to that of ASTM D6889. Individually quantitated peaks were then used to calculate the TVOC Value by using calibration curve obtained for standard mass liquids i.e. CRMs. The Area thus was translated into values in µg/m3. This study however did not include aldehydes, ketones, high molecular weight hydrocarbons, etc. It included Volatile PAH(s), Alcohols, Chlorinated Benzenes, Chloromethane and Chloromethane like that of USEPA TO-17A and USEPA 0031.

3.7 Water Regime

3.7.1 Geology Sedimentary rocks of marine and non-marine origin formed under different environmental conditions during middle Jurassic to Recent period occur in the district besides volcanic and intrusive rocks (Deccan Trap) of middle Cretaceous to lower Eocene. The alluvium is underlain by rocks of Marwar Supergroup and Plana Series of Palaeozoic and Tertiary age respectively.

3.7.2 Hydrology Hydrogeological scenario and generalized ground water conditions Eocene., the formations forming aquifer or hydrogeological units are give below a) Mesozoic formations b) Deccan trap (Hard rock) as aquifer c) Tertiary formations d) Quaternary sediments Mesozoic Formations The sediments belonging to Mesozoic period include both marine and non -marine sedimentary formation

Prepared by M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 81 Adhesives (chemical) Manufacturing Unit at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd. and occupy almost 60% of the district. Patcham Series: The rocks of this series consist of yellow and greyish coloured sandstone, shale, and fossiliferous, limestone and represent marine sedimentary sequence. The ground water occurs under water table and confined conditions in the sandstone/shale sequence belonging to this group. The semi-consolidated sandstone exposed in the lower reaches forms phreatic aquifer and is being developed locally for domestic and irrigation purposes. The dug wells tapping this aquifer ranges in depth from 10 to 24 m bglwhere as the depth to water level during summer varies from 15 to 20 meters. Chari Series The formations belonging to this formation are hard oolitic limestone, sand stone and shale representing marine facie. There is no ground water development in formations belonging to Chari series because of marine nature of sediments and its physiographic settings. Katrol Series The rocks belonging to this series occupy the Wagad up land and northern and central parts of main land. It is represented by shale and sand stone sequence with minor bands of limestone. The ground water development is generally through dugwells which, range in depth from less than 10 m to about 25m. At places, the dug-cum-bored wells are also observed with depth of bores ranging between 25 and 60 m. Depth to water level ranges from 10 to 30 m bgl. Deccan Trap- It mainly comprises of Light to dark grey basalt & dolerite as moderately extensive flows. Ground water development is meagre in Deccan traps. It occurs in the weathered portions & joints. Dug wells are 11 to 15m deep with depth to water 5 to 9m bgl. Tertiary Formations The Tertiary sediments belonging to Eocene to Miocene period are of marine origin & are largely argillaceous and calcareous in nature and do not contain arenaceous members and thus mostly have inferior quality of formation water. Quaternary Sediments Milliolite limestone, which is white to dull grey, medium - grained limestone comprising Milliolite Foraminifer, occurs along hill slopes and faulted plains. The alluvium yields small quantities of brackish water to shallow wells in Bhachau Taluka. Coarse facies may yield small to moderate supplies of brackish water to wells in Anjar-Khedoi region. In parts of Abdasa and LakhpatTalukas, the water table is generally below the formation. In Mandvi&MundraTalukas, the ground water development is extensive. Ground Water Development Overall ground water development of the district is 79.34% and the district is categorised as semi-critical.

3.8.4 Data Interpretation of Ground water quality: The Ground water quality results clearly explains that: Core Zone: 1. The Ground water quality at location W1- Near Onsite (Bore Well) shows that the Total dissolved solids (1504 mg/l), Chloride (383.9 mg/l) & Alkalinity (672 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). All other parameters are within the range. Buffer zone ground water results: is taken as the area within 10 km radius from the proposed project site. Collected samples are from ground and Surface water sources.

2. The Ground water quality at location W2- Bhadreshwar (Bore well) shows that the Total Hardness (308 mg/l); Magnesium (35.0 mg/l) & Alkalinity (367 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). All other parameters are within the range. 3. The Ground water quality at location W3-Kukadsar (Bore well) shows that the shows that the Total dissolved solids (2262 mg/l); Chloride (649 mg/l) & Alkalinity (616 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). All other parameters are within the range. 4. The Ground water quality at location W4- Tuna (Bore well) shows that the Total dissolved solids (1072 mg/l), Total Hardness (316 mg/l); Chloride (329.9 mg/l); Magnesium (36.9 mg/l) & Alkalinity (304 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). All other parameters are within the range. 5. The Ground Water results in the location W5-Hatedi (Bore well) shows that the Total dissolved solids (1195 mg/l) & Alkalinity (476 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). All other parameters are within the range. 6. The Ground Water results in the location W6- Pavdiara (Bore well) shows that the Total Dissolved Solids (2019 mg/l); Chloride (588 mg/l); Total Hardness (380 mg/l) ;Magnesium (54.4 mg/l) & Alkalinity (500 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). All other parameters are within the range.

The Results are further explained in detail: ❖ The Total Dissolved Solids of the sampling location near site W1- Near Site (1504 mg/l), W3 - Kukadsar (2262 mg/l), W4 -Tuna (1072 mg/l) ,W5- Hatedi (1195 mg/l) & W6 -Pavdiara (2019 mg/l) are found above than the drinking water standards (IS:10500) due to increased dissolution or evaporative enrichment. Human activities may also have affected the TDS levels in ground water i.e. application of synthetic fertilizers, manures, and wastewater percolation can all contribute salt to groundwater. High values of TDS influence the taste, hardness, and corrosive property of the water and causes excessive

scaling in water pipes, heaters, boilers, and household appliances. ❖ The Total Hardness at W2- Bhadreshwar (308 mg/l), W4 - Tuna (316 mg/l) & W6- Pavidra (380 mg/l) are found to be higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). The hardness contributed due to seepage and run off from soil. Hardness is normally considered an aesthetic water quality factor because of the unpleasant taste that a high concentration of calcium and other ions give to water. It reduces the ability of soap to produce lather and cause scale formation in pipes and on plumbing fixtures. ❖ The Magnesium Concertation in the areas W2- Bhadreshwar (35.0 mg/l), W4- Tuna (36.9 mg/l) & W6- Pavdiara (54.4 mg/l) is found to be higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). Magnesium at high concentration contributes to undesirable taste and may have laxative effect.

3.9 Soil Quality The soils found in Kachchh district can broadly be grouped into four types, i.e., Shallow Black soils, Residual Sandy soils, Coastal Alluvial soils and Desert soils. To assess the soil quality of the proposed area, following stations were selected. Soil profile and quality was studied at 6 different locations.

3.9.4 Data Interpretation Core Zone: Texture of soil is Clay Loam. Soil texture is one of the most important physical properties of soil that affects its fertility and productivity. The whole soil environment is regulated by soil texture. Soil texture governs most of the properties of the soil, its permeability, its capacity to retain water, its degree of aeration, its ability to make the nutrients stored in the clay-humus complex available to plants, its ability to withstand mechanical working of the top soil, and finally, its ability to support a permanent plant cover. The result shows that colour is Brown, pH is 6.5. The availability of many plant nutrients in the soil changes because of reactions in the soil, which are largely controlled by soil pH. Amount of primary nutrients like Organic matter is 0.54 %, the Nitrate nitrogen is 33.6 mg/kg. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element encourages above ground vegetative growth and gives a deep green colour to the leaves. So, the addition of bio fertilizers will enhance the fertility of soil. Buffer Zone: The result shows that texture of soil has Clay to Clay Loam texture. Th result shows that Colour is Brown, pH ranges from 7.7 to 7.9. Amount of primary nutrients like Organic matter 0.34% to 0.83 %, the Nitrate nitrogen 28.3 mg/kg to 46.8 mg/kg. Primary nutrient profile shows average fertile soil along the stretch. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element encourages above ground vegetative growth and gives a deep green colour to the leaves. So, the addition of bio fertilizers will enhance the fertility of soil.

3.10 Topography Kachchh district, located on the westernmost tip of India is the largest district of Gujarat and extends between north latitudes 22°44'11" & 24°41'25" and east longitudes 68°09'46" & 71°54'47" covering an area of around 45,652 sq. km. Physiographically, the district can be divided into- a) Central High land and the Upland in the Rann Area. b) Central Plain in the southern part. c) Little and Great Rann areas, and the d) Banni plains. The mainland of Kachchh is an undulating country with rugged broken ground and broad plains and is marked by hill ranges and isolated peaks. There are three hill ranges in the main land namely Dhinodhar, Jura and Vavar, which rise to 387m and 274m amsl. All the hill ranges follow a general east-west trend. The lowest point of buffer zone is -10 MSL situated close to periphery in the south in Gulf of Kutch. The buffer zone depicts a general slope towards south. The proposed site MSL is around 14 m. Kachchh district has about 350 km long coastline and its coastal plain is about 35-45 km wide and attains the elevation up to 80 m amsl. The coast is generally flat and broken by small and big creeks, viz., Kori, Boacha and Godia. The distance of gulf of kutch is around 3.41 Km SSE from the project area. 3.11 LAND USE Mankind’s presence on the earth and his modifications to the landscape has had a profound effect upon the natural environment. These anthropogenic influences on shifting patterns of land use are a primary component of many current environmental concerns as land use and land cover change is gaining recognition as a key driver of environmental change (Riebsame et al, 1994). Changes in land use and land cover are pervasive, increasingly rapid, and can have adverse impacts and implications at local, regional and global scales. Present study to better understand the impact of land use change within buffer zone of 10 km radius around the projects, the factors affecting land use needs to be examined.

METHODOLOGY

General Land use/ Land Cover:

The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using Satellite imagery, topographical maps, Survey of India and ground truth information. Based on the methodology developed for the present land use/ land cover, categories have been grouped under the following major land use/land cover categories.

Prepared by M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 94 Adhesives (chemical) Manufacturing Unit at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd.

INTERPRETATION OF SATELLITE IMAGE

Visual interpretation technique has been used for digitization of geographical feature for different land use and vegetation cover classes based on spatial pattern of geographic feature. Spectral signature represents various land use class. Image interpretation keys are developed based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow, association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature. Statics of geographic feature has been developing for impact assessment due to project activity. RESULTS AND CONCLUSIONS: The study therefore reveals that changes in land use due to project in the study area. The study also reveals that the site is a vacant land and devoid of vegetation with few bushes. So vegetation will not be depleted and not pose an impact to environment within the study area. Based on the methodology developed for the present land use/ land cover, categories have been grouped under the following major land use/land cover categories. • Agricultural land: Based on satellite imagery, topographical maps and ground truth. The land use is mainly agricultural. The total agricultural area is about 14173.99 hectares which is 45.12 percent of the total study area.

• Built-up land: Built-up land includes the urban or rural settlements. The village locations and their area extent have been extracted from the existing satellite imagery. The major built-up area is about 229.12 hectares which is 0.73 percent of the total 10 km radius study area. • Waste/ Barren land: Based on satellite imagery and ground truth Waste/ Barren land their area extent has been extracted. The Barren land area is about 6995.11 hectares which is 22.27 percent of the total 10 km radius study area. • Forest: Forest land their area extent have been extracted is about 156.44 hectares which is 0.50 percent of the total 10 km radius study area. • Rivers/Water Bodies: It comprises areas of surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds, lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. the total area covered by the river or water bodies is 9860.84 hectares which is 31.39 percent of the total study area.

3.12 FLORA AND FAUNA Introduction Plant and animal species form the basis of ecological interaction in nature. In the web of life and natural ecology the diversity, density and abundance of plants and animal species are decisive factors for assessing the bio diversity of any area. Documenting local species that are ecologically important may be helpful in restoration and planning of greenbelt development. With the help of actual field observations and published reports, a list of Flora and Fauna existing in the core zone and buffer zone was prepared. An ecological survey of the study area was conducted, particularly with reference to listing of species and assessment of the existing baseline ecological conditions in the study area. The main objective of the ecological survey is aimed at assessing the existing flora and fauna components in the study area. Data has been collected through extensive survey of the area with reference to flora and fauna. With the change in environmental conditions, the vegetation cover as well as animals reflects several changes in its structure, density and composition. The present study was carried out separately for floral and faunal community of core and buffer zone respectively.

proposed unit is Rs. 2.0 Crore. Objective of Study The objective of the socio- economic survey is to study the impact of construction of plant “Adhesive Manufacturing Unit” on the inhabitants of nearby areas.

Approach & Methodology adopted for conducting Socio Economic Study The socio-economic survey has been conducted by a team of three persons of M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. comprising of Mrs. Rachna Bhargava as the team leader, Mr. Anand Singh and Mr. Dharmendra as team members. Study has been conducted based on the details collected through secondary sources (mainly census 2011) and through primary data collected from the site visits. The socio-economic profile has been compiled from census data, 2011, while primary verification has been carried out by using sample survey. For secondary data, as the study area is large so the study has been carried out at district/ tehsil level representing the whole study area for detailed socio-economic analysis. The analysis was done using data from census of India, 2011 as secondary source and using physical site survey as primary data. For field survey, 5 cantonment wards were selected for conducting the survey from nearby areas of the site. Concept & Definitions a. Study Area: The study area, also known as impact area has been defined as the sum total of core area and buffer area with a distance of 10 Kilometres from the periphery of the core area. The study area includes all the land marks both natural and manmade, falling therein. b. QoL: The Quality of Life (QoL) refers to degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his/her life. The ‘Possibilities’ result from the opportunities and limitations, each person has in his/her life and reflect the interaction of personal and environmental factors. Enjoyment has two components: the experience of satisfaction and the possession or achievement of some characteristic. c. Household: A group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen are called a household. Persons living in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of related or unrelated persons live in a house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not part of a common household. Each such person is treated as a separate household. There may be one member households, two member households or multi-member households.

Sex Ratio: Sex ratio is the ratio of females to males in a given population. It is expressed as 'number of females per 1000 males'. e. Literates: All persons aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language are taken as literate. It is not necessary for a person to have received any formal education or passed any minimum educational standard for being treated as literate. People who are blind but can read in Braille are also treated as literates. f. Literacy Rate: Literacy rate of population is defined as the percentage of literates to the total population aged 7 years and above. g. Labour Force: The labour force is the number of people employed and unemployed in a geographical entity. The size of the labour force is the sum total of persons employed and unemployed. An unemployed person is defined as a person not employed but actively seeking work. Normally, the labour force of a country consists of everyone of working age (around 14 to 16 years) and below retirement (around 65 years) that are participating workers, that is people actively employed or seeking employment. People not counted under labour force are students, retired persons, stay-at home people, people in prisons, permanently disabled persons and discouraged workers. h. Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. The work may be part time, full time, or unpaid work in a farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity. i. Worker: All persons engaged in 'work' are defined as workers. Persons who are engaged in cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as workers. j. Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. 6 months or more in the case of a year) are termed as Main Workers. k. Marginal Workers: Those workers who did not work for the major part of the reference period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as Marginal Workers l. Work participation rate: The work participation rate is the ratio between the labour force and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range). In the present study the work participation rate is defined as the percentage of total workers (main and marginal) to total population. Study Area The study area means wards/villages in 10 km radius of the proposed Group Housing Complex. Topographical map and Google earth maps were used to identify the wards in 10 km radius. The surrounding area is not densely populated. A total of 14 villages fall within the study area. The total population of the study area is 21250 constituting 4513 households.

CHAPTER 4: ENVIRONMENT IMPACT ASSESSMENT & MITIGATIVE MEASURES Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of developmental activities on physical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction of impacts helps to minimize the adverse impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project execution.

Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project and secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and typically include the associated investment and changed patterns of social and economic activities by the proposed actions.

For the proposed project, the impacts assessment is being performed in following steps:

• Step 1: Identification of interactions between activities and environmental receptors. • Step 2: Identification of potentially significant environmental impacts.

4.1 IMPACT & MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1.9 Impact on Socio-economic Aspects

Anticipated Impact:

• Impacts on present status of livelihood in the area • Impact on the cropping pattern and crop productivity in the buffer zone. • Impact on road infrastructure • Impact on health of people in surrounding areas • Impact due to loss of farming land

Prepared by M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. 125 Adhesives (chemical) Manufacturing Unit at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd.

Mitigation Measures:

• Development of road, transportation, communication and related infrastructure in the region. • Government will get additional revenue from direct & indirect taxes like, sales tax, vat, etc. Chemical manufacturing Industry is a large and growing domestic market. There will be economic benefit due to selling of products all over India. • The socio -economic conditions of the people falling within the project area will undergo a stark change since the secondary & tertiary sectors other than primary & agriculture sector will also flourish, which are more lucrative in monetary returns. Gradually with the availability of good schools and medical facilities in the immediate area, the quality of education and health of the villagers will also improve. Several secondary impacts due to improvement in return from land Property ancillary and service provision opportunities through business or individually etc. shall be there. • The Products will be exported to earn foreign exchange which will help in national economy. • The existing road network is having enough capacity to handle the increased transportation traffic. Some materials are imported from ship also. The project will contribute few vehicles for bringing raw material to plant and trucks for tracking raw material & wastes through roads from various parts of country having sufficient width and about 3-4 km long which connects to state highway. The proportion of our project will be less than 10% of the total traffic. No strengthening of road at present is envisaged. • The land for the project was earlier categorized as farming land but it was un-used by the owners and sold to project proponent. Change of land use approval has been obtained for the project. Hence rehabilitation and resettlement is also not required

Socio-economic Support as part of Enterprise Social Commitment

The company will spend 2.5% of project cost for Enterprise Social Commitment (ESC) which would be under Company CSR as per Companies Act. As mentioned earlier, the scale of operations is too small to produce significant impact excepting providing employment to a few local residents. However, under ESC, welfare activities will be taken up focussing on healthcare, sanitation, skill development and rain water harvesting provision in nearby areas. The detail of social welfare activities is given in Chapter 8 (Environment Management Plan).

CHAPTER 5: ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVE RESOURCE & TECHNOLOGIES

Alternate sites considered and selection of the site

The proposed project is an adhesive (chemical) manufacturing unit located at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat, which will produce an adhesive- emulsion polymer of butyl acrylate and methyl acrylic acid required for producing specialized BOPP Adhesive Tapes with both Acrylic and Hot-Melt technology, also proposed adjacent to the project site by the proponent.

The site for the project at Bhadreshwar village was selected due to the following reasons:

• Availability of land • The site has well laid access roads, and is very near to the state highway. • The landuse of the area was previously classified as agricultural but due to proximity of land to industrial area and being rocky barren land farming was not possible and the land was unused, and the land was permitted for conversion into industrial use. CLU approval for land has been obtained. • The ambient air quality, water quality and soil quality at and around the project site is well within the national ambient air quality standards.

• There are no environmentally sensitive areas like National Parks, estuaries, wet lands, architectural, historical or cultural places of interest except near the project site.

• Availability of power supply. • Need of the local people

Chapter 8: ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Environment Management Plan (EMP) is a site- specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmentally sustainable manner where all stakeholders including the project proponents, contractors and subcontractors, including consultants, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. Adequate environment management measures need to be incorporated during the entire planning, installation and operating stages of the project to minimize any adverse environmental impact and assure sustainable development of the area.

EMP includes four elements:

• Commitment and Policy: Proposed project will strive to provide and implement the environment management Plan that incorporates all issues related to air, land and water. • Planning: This includes identification of environment impacts, legal requirements and setting environmental objectives. • Implementation: This comprises of resources available to the developers, accountability of contractors, training of operational staff associated with environmental control facilities and documentation of measures to be taken. • Measurement and Evaluation: This includes monitoring, corrective actions, and record keeping. The EMP‘s that will be into place consist of those during installation and operating stages of the project and includes the following elements:

• Air Pollution Control and Management • Water Pollution & Control • Storm Water Management • Noise Control and Management • Hazardous and Solid Waste Management • Plantation, Landscaping and Land Management • Environmental Management Plan 8.1 Environment management during installation & construction phase

8.1.1 Air Environment To minimize the impact during construction phase following measures shall be taken:

➢ Water sprinkling shall be done at the location where dust generation is anticipated. ➢ periphery of the plant and zones would be covered with green cloth.

8.2.2.2 Rain Water Harvesting Scheme The main source of ground water recharging in the study area is rainwater, which infiltrates into the ground through various lithological units present in the study area. 1 number of rainwater harvesting pits will be installed to recharge the ground water. The runoff from the rooftop and storm water shall go to the recharge pits.

 Scheme for Ground Water Recharging

The rainwater is diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface / underground drainage network. The entire campus is sub divided for recharging structures.

The rainwater is diverted into the desilting tank to remove inorganic impurities and the outflow of the desilting tank is taken into the recharge well.

 Desilting Tank

The desilting tanks are used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater. Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and overflow. Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface (layers of coarse sand) to allow standing water to percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these desilting chambers shall be utilized for horticulture.

 Recharge well

The Recharge Well consist the pit size of with dimensions 3.3 m x 3 m and effective depth of 3 m with of 19 mm PVC perforated pipe will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit will be filled with gravel and pebbles consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. The mouth of the PVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into it. The depth of the bore will depend on the soil condition/water strata. The schematic diagram is enclosed. It should be therefore concluded that there is no significant impact on surface water quality & hydrology of the area. The proposed rainwater-harvesting scheme will stabilize the groundwater table in the area. SOIL QUALITY : Clay loam INFILTRATION RATE : 7.6 mm/hr PEAK HOURLY RAINFALL : 20 mm/hr NO.

1. INTRODUCTION

The ambient air quality Ground Level Concentration (GLC) of the area near any project is impacted due to air pollution sources in the project. The air pollution sources are of two types:

• Point Sources – Chimneys/ Stacks/ ducts/ Vents • Non- Point Sources – Vehicles, machinery

The emissions from these sources spreads or disperses in the air and causes increase in the pollution level in ambient air. This causes an increase in Ground Level Concentration (GLC). This increase in GLC can be predicted for proposed project using Air Dispersion Modelling. In this study, AERMOD developed by Lakes Environmental Inc. is used to calculate incremental Ground Level concentrations (GLC) for the proposed

sources of air pollution in the proposed plant, for Particulate emissions, Gaseous emissions (NOx & SO2). 1.2 METHODOLOGY

For Air Dispersion Modelling following methodology shall be used:

1.2.1 Modelling Procedure

AERMOD uses Gaussian plume dispersion modelling parameters, the generalised equation is given below:

푸 ퟏ 풀ퟐ ퟏ (풛 − 풉ퟐ) ퟏ (풛 + 풉ퟐ) 풄 = 풆풙풑 (− ) {풆풙풑 [− ] + 풆풙풑 [− ]} ퟐ흅풖흈풚흈풛 ퟐ 흈ퟐ풚 ퟐ 흈ퟐ풛 ퟐ 흈ퟐ풛

Where

c = concentration at a given point (g/m3)

Q = emission rate (g/s)

u = wind speed (m/s)

σy = dispersion parameter in the horizontal (lateral) direction (m)

σz = dispersion parameter in the vertical direction (m)

x = direction of the wind (x = 0 at the source; x > 0 downwind).

y = horizontal direction perpendicular to the wind (y = 0 at the center of the plume; positive on your left when you look downwind).

Prepared by M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd.

179

Adhesives (chemical) Manufacturing Unit at Village Bhadreshwar, District Kutch, Gujrat by M/s Hindustan Adhesives Ltd. z = vertical direction (z = 0 at the surface and positive above the surface).

As well as the effective source height h. They all have meters as units. Plume Rise Plume rise h has been determined according to Brigg’s formula (CPCB guideline) h = 21.425 F3 4 for F<55

Us and h = 38.71 F3 5 for F>55

Us

2 F = g VsD (Ts-Ta)/4Ts Where

Us = wind speed at stack level (m/s)

Vs = stack gas velocity (m/s)

Ts = stack gas temperature (K)

Ta = ambient temperature (K) F = Buoyancy flux parameter (m4/s3) h = Plume rise (m) D = Diameter of the stack (m) g = acceleration due to gravity, 9.807 (m/s2) 1.2.2 Extrapolation of Wind Speed Wind speed at stack level is calculated by power law as given below.

p Ustack = U10(Stack height/10)

Where U10 is the wind speed at 10 meter level and p is the power law coefficient (0.07, 0.07, 0.10, 0.15, 0.35 and 0.55 for stability classes A, B, C, D, E and F respectively) as per Irwin for rural areas (USEPA, 1987).

1.2.3 Stability Classification Hourly stability is determined by wind direction fluctuation method as suggested by Slade (1965) and recommended by CPCB (PROBES/70/1997-1998).

= Wdr/6

, is standard deviation of wind direction fluctuation, Wdr is the overall wind direction fluctuation or width of the wind direction in degrees. The table for stability classes is given as under.

B 22.4 – 17.5 C 17.4 – 12.5

D 12.4 – 7.5 E 7.4 – 3.5

F < 3.5

1.2.4 Dispersion Parameters

Dispersion parameters y and z for open country conditions (Briggs, 1974) are used as the project is located on a flat terrain in a rural area. Atmospheric dispersion coefficients vary with downwind distance (x) from emission sources for different atmospheric stability conditions. (CPCB – PROBES/70/1997-98).

Mitigation measures

Impact Mitigation measures

Running of DG sets of capacity 125 KVA during • Exhaust from DG sets and Boilers shall be power failure and 2 TPH of Boiler will result into channelized to stack/chimney of 3.6 m height air emissions above roof level and 30 m above ground level respectively as per CPCB norms in order to avoid concentration of emission on ground. Thus, it will have negligible impact on existing ambient air quality. Stacks of Boilers will also have control system of Multi- cyclone followed by alkali wet scrubbing system.

• Green belt will be developed in Periphery.

• Plants having large leaf area index (LAI) shall be developed because they are effective in reduce pollution generated from vehicular emission.
