1.2.2 Introduction of the Project Proponent LH Sugar Factories Limited (LHSF) is a 12,500 TCD sugar mill located in Pilibhit in north-west Uttar Pradesh (UP). LHSF was promoted by two brothers – Raja Lalta (L) Prasad and SahuHari (H) Prasad in 1909 and was incorporated in 1933. The descendants of these two families have managed the operations of the sugar mill. Over the last few years, the company has been expanding its scale of operations by undertaking continuous expansion; de-bottlenecking measures and diversification by forward integrating into co-generation of power. In FY 2007-08, LHSF expanded its co-generation capacity to above 40 MW from 20 MW. LH Sugar has installed a Molasses based Ethanol manufacturing plant at Jangraulipul, in FY-2017-18 for taking benefits of value addition by converting it into first Rectified spirit and subsequently into Ethanol. The company has a 60 KL/Day capacity multi products manufacturing distillery at Jangraulipul to first produce rectified spirit and thereafter ENA and Ethanol as per market requirement. The project is mainly funded by the contribution from Sugar Development Fund (SDF) and also out of the loan taken from Financial Institutions/Bank. The raw material for the Ethanol Unit i.e. molasses is procured from own Sugar mill through tankers and balance requirement will be procured from nearby sugar mill. The products i.e. Ethanol is being/will be sold to Petroleum Companies and Rectified Spirit and ENA to other industrial buyers.

1.3.2 Importance to the country and Region Advancement in science and technology has created so many products that have enhanced the quality of human life in every passing year. The human race is largely dependent on industrialization for up gradation in quality of life. Progress of the nation is judged through its economic growth which is largely dependent on industrial productivity. In Indian economy (which is agro based) many industries are dependent over

agricultural produce for production of luxury and need based commodities. Alcohol has assumed a very important place in the Country’s economy. It is a vital raw material for a number of chemicals. It has been a source of revenue by way of excise duty levied by the State Government on alcohol liquors. It has a potential as fuel in the form of power alcohol for blending with petrol which is expected to achieve the ratio of 20:80. The use of alcohol for the purpose of potable liquor is as high as its use for industrial purposes. According to analysts, the Indian alcoholic beverages industry is expected to witness accelerating growth in coming years with the consumer base likely to expand amidst rising disposable income. The domestic alcoholic drinks market is estimated around $13 billion and has been growing at a compounded annual growth rate in excess of 10% in the past few years. The growth rate is higher than other major Asian markets like China and South Korea, etc. In the path of company’s growth and development this project will serve as yet another milestone. Presently, Govt. of India is pushing ethanol blending programme in a big way to achieve blending target of approximately 10% in near future and progressively increase to 20%. To achieve this target GOI is coming out major policy announcement to encourage setting up and expansion of Molasses based distilleries.

1.4 SCOPE OF STUDY Scope of this study covers all the points given in the Terms of Reference (ToR) prescribed by MoEFCC, New Delhi vide letter no. J-11011/354/2013-IA II (I) dated 30thNovember, 2018.

CHAPTER - II PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.1 TYPE OF THE PROJECT As per EIA Notification dated 14th Sep, 2006 and its subsequent amendment dated 13th June, 2019, the project falls under Category “A”, Project or Activity ‘5(g)’ Distilleries [All Molasses based distilleries>100 KLPD]. Expansion will be carried out within the existing plant premises.The magnitude of expansion is from 60 KLPD to 180 KLPD Molasses based distillery & 2.0 to 8.0 MW co-generation power plant.

2.2 NEED FOR THE PROJECT By 2022, the Government of India (GOI) proposes to reduce its dependence on crude oil imports by 10% in several ways: increasing domestic output; promoting energy efficiency and conservation; and encouraging greater use of alternative fuels. Growth in the biofuel market will partly reduce import dependence on crude oils and encourage optimal use of other renewable energy resources, particularly when strong economic growth prospects drive higher demand for gasoline and petroleum products. The demand for ethanol in India continues to soar on the back of government’s plan to increase mandatory blending. As per the latest statistics, the domestic sugar mill industry achieved a production figure of around 1.12 billion liters during the last sugarcane season of 2015-16, around 65% more than the previous season. Despite record production, it continues to be significantly insufficient for blending purposes due to a deficit of around 900 million liters as of the end of 2016. The ethanol blending demand is further set to rise in the coming years, with ambitious targets set by the government of India to increase ethanol blending from 10% to 22.5%. As such, the company is already producing ethanol that is being/will be helping the government and it will become one of the extended contributors for the same.

2.7 MANUFACTURING PROCESS DESCRIPTION 2.7.1 Distillery Unit - Production from Molasses: • Molasses unloading and storage Molasses from tankers/pipe line is being/will be unloaded at unloading point and transferred in to molasses storage tank. • Yeast propagation and fermentation: Yeast activation: Yeast seed material is being/will be prepared in water-cooled Yeast Activation vessel by inoculating sterilized mash with active dry yeast. Optimum temperature is being/will be maintained by cooling water. The contents of the yeast activation vessel are being/will be transferred to fermenter. • Fermentation: The Molasses from storage tank to be pumped to dilutor installed in fermentation section and diluted with water. The diluted molasses called Wort is being/will be fed into culture vessels and Pre-fermenter for activation of yeast. The activated yeast from the yeast activation vessel transferred into pre fermenter. Once the yeast activated in pre-fermenters, it is being/will be transferred in to fermenters and diluted molasses to be added. The process of fermentation is to convert the fermentable substrate into alcohol. The pH of the wort is adjusted by the addition of acid. Yeast is being/will be available in sufficient quantity to initiate fermentation rapidly and complete it within the cycle time. At the start of the cycle, the fermenter is being/will be charged with wort and contents of the yeast activation vessel. Significant heat release takes place during fermentation. This is removed by passing cooling water through the fermenter PHE’s to maintain an optimum temperature. The recirculating pumps also serve to empty the fermenters into beer well. After the fermenters are emptied, they are cleaned with water and caustic solutions and sterilized for the next batch. The carbon dioxide evolved during the process is being/will be vented to atmosphere (to be processed and stored for industrial use) after recovery of alcohol in a scrubber. • Distillation: (Multi Pressure Distillation with Integrated Evaporation) Fermented wash from wash holding tank is being/will be pumped by wash feed pump to the top of degassing column after preheating the same in beer heater and spent wash heat exchanger. The vapors along with non-condensable gases from the top of degassing column is being/will be rectified in Heads column, to expel the high volatiles, technically known as heads. Bottom liquid from the degasser flows into analyzer column where alcohol is stripped from the liquid. The liquid from bottom of analyzer column is being/will be completely stripped of alcohol and pumped out by thick slop discharge pump through heat exchanger where it preheats the fermented wash before it enters degassing column. The slop from the analyzer column is being/will be fed in to decanter. The dilute alcohol vapors from near the top of analyzer column is being/will be condensed first in beer heater while exchanging heat with wash feed and then in analyzer condenser. Degasser and analyzer operate under vacuum. The condensate is being/will be collected in rectifier feed tank. The vapors for stripping alcohol is being/will be generated from analyzer column bottom liquid in the analyzer column re-boiler by using the rectified column top vapors. Vapors from the top of heads column are condensed in heads column condenser and then in head column vent condenser. Part of the condensate is returned to column as reflux while a small portion is taken out as an impure spirit cut. Liquid from bottom is also taken into rectified feed tank.

Dilute alcohol water mixture from rectifier feed tank is being/will be pumped by rectifier feed pump through rectifier feed pre-heater in to rectifying column. Rectifier and its associated equipment work under pressure so that these vapors can supply the necessary heat for generating the vapors. The condensate is then pumped as reflux to rectifying column. Rich alcohol vapors at a concentration of 95.5% v/v from top of rectifying column are condensed first in analyzer and then in reflux vent condenser. The liquid form is being/will be collected in rectifier reflux tank. Part of the liquid may be drawn off as impure spirit. The impure spirit cut will be maintained as little as possible to maintain aldehyde levels to meet the required limits in RS/ ENA. From rectifier column the draw is being/will be taken to produce RS and for ENA draw is being/will be sent to ED column, rectifier column and finally to polishing column to maintain quality of ENA and final draw from polishing column is being/will be sent to receivers. Liquid from the reflux tank is pumped by product pump partly as product and partly as reflux to the top of the rectifying column. The necessary rectifying vapors are generated by boiling the bottom liquid in Rectifier Column Re-boiler using medium pressure steam. Some side streams are drawn from rectifier column as light and heavy fractions of higher alcohols called fusel oils and cooled in fusel oil coolers and are mixed with water and allowed to separate out in fusel oil separator. All vents are being/will be connected to Vent Gas Absorber where the vent gases are scrubbed with water to recover entrained alcohol. The scrubber water is used for washing the fusel oils in fusel oil separator to recover alcohol from the fusel oil fractions. The absorber vent is connected to vacuum pump which is used to create vacuum in the analyzer and degasser. Absolute alcohol is manufactured by dehydration of Rectified Spirit. The process adopted here is based on Pressure Swing Adsorption (PSA) system using Molecular Sieves. Rectified spirit, after preheating by waste hot streams, is vaporized and superheated by using medium pressure steam at 6 Kg/cm2g pressure. Hot vapors at 6 kg/cm² g pressure and 130° C temperature pass through PSA column, where the water vapors are retained while water free alcohol is released as vapors. The vapors are condensed and collected as absolute alcohol. When the molecular sieve bed is saturated with water the alcohol vapors are shifted to the other tower and the first tower is taken for regeneration. Regeneration is done first by pressure releasing and creating vacuum and then by elutriating with dehydrated alcohol vapors from the tower in dehydration operation. The vapors are condensed and the vent vapors are recovered through scrubber. Vacuum can be created. Product will be cooled and transferred to absolute alcohol receiving tank and then on to storage tank. • Alcohol bulk storage: Alcohol is being/will be first taken to daily receiver storage tanks, which is being/will be based on the State Excise laws, storage for three days considering the weekly holidays of two days. Thereafter, the alcohol is being/will be transferred to bulk storage tanks after taking the daily receiver Dip. This is transferred using flameproof pumps. Final dispatch of alcohol is being/will be metered and again is being/will be carried out using special flameproof pumps. The Bulk spirit storage is proposed to be set up for 30 days. • Effluent handling section in the process a) Evaporation section: • The spent wash coming from distillation section is being/will be fed in to first calendria of the evaporator section. There are five calendria installed as per design to concentrate the dissolved solids. Suggested treatment scheme is a four FF + finisher evaporation plant for spent wash evaporation. The following points elucidate the basic working principle:

Figure 2.7: Process flow diagram of Molasses based Distillery 2.7.2 Co-Generation Power Plant (2.0 MW to 8.0 MW) The unit has existing 2 MW co-generation power plant with an existing boiler of 23 TPH and power turbine. After proposed expansion additional boiler of 56 TPH will be installed to produce additional 6 MW power. The boiler is / will be based on Concentrated Spent Wash and Bagasse / Rice husk / Coal as available fuel options. This boiler will operate mainly to feed steam to Molasses based operations and generate power for distillery operations. 8.0 MW Co-generation power plant consists of a high-pressure water tube steam boiler extraction cum condensing steam turbine. Fuel in the steam boiler will be burnt with the help of air in the Incineration boiler furnace. Water will be circulated in the Incineration boiler drum and tubes thus getting heated by the flame burning in the Incineration boiler furnace. Water comes out of the Incineration boiler drum located at the top of the Incineration boiler as steam. Flue gases rise in the Incineration boiler furnace and come in contact with the steam coming out of Incineration boiler drum. Steam after coming in contact with flue gases gets heated up further thus getting superheated. Superheated steam leaves the incineration boiler in a pipe. Flue gases after super heating the steam pass through economizer where they pre-heat the incineration boiler feed water before it enters the incineration boiler drum. After economizer, flue gases pass through air pre- heaters where they heat the air which is fed to the incineration boiler furnace for burning the fuel. After air pre heaters flue gases pass through Air Pollution Control Equipment where the dust particles are collected. The dust is collected in closed system with dense phase technology for final disposal. High pressure superheated steam from incineration boiler is passed through a steam turbine, which is used for distillery process operations. While passing through the turbine, the high pressure and temperature steam rotates the turbine rotor and an electric alternator mounted on the same shaft. Electric power is generated by the alternator. This electric power generated is consumed in house i.e. for running the distillery and utilities like incineration boiler auxiliaries etc.

Lime dosing and chlorine dosing pump Lime increases the pH and lower the quantity of bacteria and viruses in it, at the same time most of the heavy metals dissolved in it are also eliminated. Chlorine acts as a disinfectant and kills bacteria, viruses, and protozoans. 10. Reverse osmosis The reverse osmosis occurs when pressure, greater than the osmotic pressure, is applied to the water recovered from ACF. Treated water is forced to flow from the concentrated to the diluted side, and solutes are retained by the membrane. The membranesallows the selective movement of solvent while rejecting the solutes, such as salts or low molecular weight organic materials against its osmotic pressure difference. It effectively removes almost all the inorganic compounds, contaminant ions and most dissolved non-ions. The permeate generated from the multi membrane RO system is being/will be passed through the permeate RO system for further removal of dissolve solid. The permeate generated from the system is being/will be collected on the permeate RO product tank and recycled in cooling tower whereas the final reject is being/will be used as ash spray.

3.3.3 Geological and hydro-geological features Topographically the district can be divided in two distinct tracts. In the North and North West the tract is a continuation of the Tarai belt. Though there are no hill the level surface is characterized by many troughs and depressions making the beds of river and water courses which carry at the surface drainage. The low basins, known as Khader (younger sediments) differ greatly in character from the upland sediments of Bangers (older sediments) which marks the watershed. Otherwise the slope at the country from north to south is more or less uniform. The district Pilibhit is drained by the following rivers: Sarda, Chauka, Gomti, Khanaut, Deoha and few minor swamps and depressions. Only two type of soils are found in this region namely, Tarai Soils and Younger Alluvium Soils (Khader). The district is underlain by quaternary alluvium comprising sand, clay, silt gravel and kankar in varying proportions. The area falls under interfluves area of Ganga and Sarda which is a part of Indo-Gangetic plains. Tarai belt occurs in the northern fringe of the districts comprising mainly sand pebbles beds interbeded with clays. South of Tarai belt is underlain by the deposits of the older gengetic alluvium composed of fine to medium grained sand and clay with kankar in varying proportions. Further south, lies the belt of younger alluvium of recent age which occupies the lower grounds at thick sequence of clay, silt and sand with occasional kankar. The general geological sequence over the district is given as below. System Age Formation Lithology Quaternary Recent to upper Pleistocene Newer Alluvium Fine sand, silt clay admixed with gravel. Upper Pleistocene Older Alluvium Clay with kankar and sand of different grades.

The ground water occurs in the granular sediments within the zone of saturation under water table conditions in the shallow aquifer and deeper aquifer below 50 mdepth occurs under semiconfined to confined conditions. Depth to water level May, 2015 – 3.05 to 5.36 mbgl November, 2015 – 2.42 to 5.52 mbgl [Source: Ground water year book, 2015-16]

3.3.4 Climate and rainfall The monsoon in the district sets in last week of June till middle of September. The district received maximum rains from June to August. The maximum mean monthly atmospheric temperature 390C has been recorded during the month of May and minimum (80C) in January. The temperature generally starts increasing from February and reaches to maximum in May/June (highest temperature 440C). After June temperature decreases and touches minimum in January. The mean percentage of relative humidity in the district varies from 49 to 67%. Light to moderate south-westerly winds prevail in the winter and early summer period. At the end of summer, easterly and northeasterly winds set in and continue throughout the monsoon period. The mean wind velocity is 5.1 km/h and potential transpiration 402.8 mm has been recorded.

3.4 METEOROLOGY Meteorology plays a vital role in determining the transport and diffusion pattern of air pollutants released into atmosphere. The principal variables include horizontal convective transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport (atmospheric stability) and topography of the area. Meteorological characteristics of an area are very much important in assessing possible environmental impacts and in preparing environmental management plan. The nearest IMD station to the plant site is located in Bareilly. The Meteorological data i.e. temperature, relative humidity, rainfall, wind speed, and wind direction, recorded for Post Monsoon Season (October to December, 2018) was obtained from this station to study meteorology of the study area. It was observed that the dominant wind pattern for the study period was from West direction. Wind Rose Diagram showing the wind pattern during the study period is shown in Figure below. Summary of the micro-meteorology at site is given in table below.Detailed Hourly Meteorological Data has been enclosed as Annexure 7with this EIA/ EMP Report. Table - 3.7 Micro-meteorology at site Temperature (oC) Relative Humidity (%) Wind Speed (m / sec.) Month Min. Max. Min. Max.

Forecasting of mixing height is done with the aid of the vertical temperature profile. The MH is a function of stability. In unstable air the MH is higher and in stable air the MH is lower. With a lower MH, there is a smaller volume of air in which the pollutant can be dispersed, resulting in higher concentrations in the ambient environment. There is a seasonal variation of MH. During summer daylight hours, MH can be few thousand feet whereas for winter it can be a few hundred feet. It varies also in the course of a day. It is lowest at night and increases during the day. As site specific mixing heights were not available, mixing heights based on IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and Assimilative Capacity of Atmosphere in India”, has been considered to establish the worst case scenario. Secondary information has been used to determine the mixing height over the study region for the study period (October to December, 2018) and it varies from 70-1530 meters (IMD).

3.7 WATER ENVIRONMENT Most water resources are being influenced by human activities. Among these, industrial activities are the major pressure on water environment. The growing population and industrial demands for development and welfare or improvement further increases the pressure on these resources. As a result, water resources are getting contaminated and making the adverse impact on aquatic life. Ensuring a sustained use and avoiding closure of development options requires in depth knowledge of physical, chemical and biological responses to human interference and robust prediction tools for the evaluation and optimization of proposed development and abatement schemes. Physical, chemical and biological factors influencing water quality are so interrelated that a change in any water quality parameter may trigger other changes in a complete network of interrelated variables. Selected water quality parameters for surface and ground water resources along with biological indicators within study region have been used for water environment and assessing the impact on it by expansion project. As a significant part of predefined framework of the present study water samples were collected from selected locations. The Reconnaissance survey was undertaken and monitoring locations were finalized based on:  Presence, Location and uses of major water bodies in the region  Type and Location of Industrial/residential areas, their intake and effluent disposal locations  Likely area that can represent baseline conditions The water resources in the study area were divided into two categories for getting ideal upshot of baseline status of water quality of the region. These two major categories as determined are:

Work Force in the Surveyed Area The graphs shown above on the basis of information obtained from surveyed villages, it is easily deduced that the percentage of total working population is low and dependent population is high. This indicator shows that the economic conditions in the area are not good. They require livelihood opportunities to upgrade their economic status and fulfill basic needs. LH Sugar Factories Limited - Distillery Division will provide some direct employment to the local people and there will also be opportunity for self-employment generation, thus helping with the unemployment.

3.10.6 Socio-Economic Status 1) Annual income from various source The Income &Expenditures of an area is defined by the occupational pattern and income level of the people in the area. The occupational structure of residents in the study area is studied with reference to income sources. Most of the people involved in agriculture and wage labor. As per surveyed data it is shown that maximum expenditure goes to food, agriculture, education and transport section. 2) Basic Amenities A better network of physical infrastructure facilities (well-built roads, rail links, irrigation, power and telecommunication, information technology, market-network and social infrastructure support, viz. health and education, water and sanitation) is essential for the development of the rural economics.

5) Other Infrastructure Facilities Infrastructure of any area reveals the internal and external progress of it. If the infrastructure is not well developed then people who are residing there have to find certain options outside that place and in turn loss is incurred in one way or the other. There is a hindrance factor in economy that grows rapidly if proper measures are not taken. The district has low availability of good infrastructure facilities and the surveyed villages too are lagging behind in such benefits. (i) Drinking Water Facility Village people are availing drinking water facilities generally from the hand pump, open well, tube well and tap. Tap water is not available in secondary and outer zone which should be improved.

3.10.7 Inference of the studied surrounding area The socio-economic condition of the study area assessed on the base of surveyed villages gives clear picture of its population, average household size, literacy rate, sex ratio etc. As far as the literacy rate is concerned of the study area is comparable to state average literacy rate. Schedule caste population is significantly more in comparison to schedule tribe. A part of population is suffering from the lack of permanent job to run their day to day life and get basic facility. Most of the villages have road connectivity and government bus facilities available. Some private bus operators operate transport service. The infrastructure and amenities available in the area denotes the economic well-being of the region. The study area as a whole possesses average infrastructural facilities. In comparison with the facilities available in other parts of the districts; amenities like higher education, maternity health, and potable drinking water could be strengthened. The socio-economic analysis of the study area shows that in terms of education and employment sectors could be improved. With a high dependency ratio the overall socio-economic status of the target population could improve with increase in work participation rate. The expansion of this project would lead to direct and indirect employment opportunities. The unskilled and semi-skilled categories of labor will be available from the nearby villages and towns. Further, many of the agricultural laborers will be attracted to take up the steady, round the year employment at industry site. Hence, the long-term positive impacts on socio-economic conditions of the area are anticipated.

3.10.8 Recommendation and Suggestion  Effort should be made to improve the female literacy rate in the rural areas, which is the most important need for rural development.  Vocational training could be encouraged amongst the rural people, including women and unemployed youth, to get training in various activities and generate self-employment or skills for various job opportunities in the study and nearby areas.  Project proponent could conduct professional skills development programme for business opportunities for the local people.  Knowledge and Awareness camps could be organized to provide knowledge of Government schemes and loan or subsidies for self-employment, agriculture and allied activities in the area.  Provide health care and ambulance facility in more villages to make the people get easy access to medical facilities.  Maternity facilities in the area need improvement to avoid going far off places.  On the basis of qualification and skills local youths shall be employed in expansion project with employment generated in the construction and operational phases.  Explore providing awareness of veterinary facilities/treatment in the region.  Provide water treatment plant for good and healthy drinking water.

3.11 CONCLUSION The environment baseline study was conducted in the study area during Post Monsoon Season (October to December, 2018). Abiotic factors including air, water and soil were studied for the core & buffer zone. It was found that most of the parameters were within the limits as per the Indian Standards. In general, there is no major threat to the quality of the major components of environment. Similarly, the study for the biotic factors was conducted. Hence, it can be concluded that the present environment status of the study area is good enough for the expansion project.Adoption of adequate pollution control measures will protect the surrounding environment.

CHAPTER - IV ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 INTRODUCTION The anticipated environmental impacts of the expansion project would be mainly due to the construction and operational activities. The environmental parameters likely to be affected are related to many factors, viz. physical, social, economic, agriculture and aesthetic. These industrial operations can disturb the environment in various ways, such as change in air, noise level; water and soil quality of that particular area. While for the purpose of development and economic up- liftment of people, there is need for establishment of industries, but these have to be environmental friendly. Therefore, it is essential to assess the impacts of expansion project on different environmental parameters, so that abatement measures could be planned in advance for eco-friendly project operation in the area.

4.2 IMPACT DUE TO EXPANSION ACTIVITY Impacts due to any project activity have been divided according to the temporal scale into ‘Impacts during Construction Phase’ and ‘Impacts during Operation Phase’. The impacts on different environmental parameters, due to the expansion project, will be due to various activities carried out during construction phase and operation phase; Construction activity spreads over pre- construction, machinery installation and commissioning stages and ends with the induction of manpower and start-up. During operation phase of the expansion project, the impacts will be mostly permanent and irreversible in nature.

4.3 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE & PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES The expansion will take place within the existing plant premises. During construction, the activities related to land de-weeding, leveling of site and installation of machineries and equipment will lead to emission of particulate matter. Construction activities during this stage will temporarily alter the environment of the nearby area due to movement of heavy machineries and vehicles.

4.3.1 Impact on Topography and Land Use and mitigation measures The land is already industrial so no levelling or topography change is envisaged. Topography and land characteristics will remain same and are already in favor of expansion case. The machinery installation will take place adjacent to already installed machinery and in already constructed industrial area only.

4.3.2 Impact on air quality and mitigation measures The major sources of dust emissions during construction phase are the movement of equipment at site, leveling, grading, earthwork and foundation works. Exhaust emissions from vehicles and equipment to be deployed during the construction phase is also likely to result in marginal increase in the levels of particulate

matter, SO2, NOx and CO. The impact will be for short duration. This will be confined within the plant boundary and is expected to be negligible outside the plant boundary. The impact will, however, be reversible, marginal and temporary in nature.

Mitigation measures  Construction equipment having PUC Certificate will be deployed during the activity to restrict exhaust emission.  Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment will help in controlling the gaseous emissions.  Water sprinkling on roads and construction site will prevent fugitive dust.  Proper coverage with tarpaulin of all construction material.  A separate storage area will be demarcated for construction material to confine the dust dispersion.  Temporary barricading structures shall be provided to reduce carryover of particulates away from the construction area.

4.3.3 Impact on Noise Environment and mitigation measures During construction phase, noise will be generated due to following activities / processes:  Movement /operation of transport and construction vehicles / equipment.  Transportation of equipment, materials and people.  Other important activities involved in construction stage such as excavation, earthmoving, compaction, concrete mixing, crane operation, steel erection, mechanical/electrical installation.  Piling work during laying down of foundation for infrastructure. Mitigation Measures  The noise generation during construction phase will be temporary and will be limited to the plant site.  The vehicles used for movement will be taken for preventive maintenance to reduce noise generation.  The construction labors will be provided with adequate personal protective equipment.  Continuous exposure of workers will be avoided by alternating the duties on daily basis.

4.3.4 Impact on water quality and mitigation measures Groundwater facility is already provided in the premises as the plant is already running and the infrastructure supports the water availability as well as discharge during construction phase. Groundwater will be stored in RCC tank / overhead and used in civil construction, canteen, besides domestic use by construction workers. Construction workers will be brought from nearby villages. Mitigation measures  The domestic wastewater generated from sanitary blocks will be treated in STP.  The treated wastewater will be recycled for civil construction and greenbelt development / plantation purpose.  The drains will be properly aligned in conformity with the site drainage pattern so that the alteration is kept to the minimum and flooding or soil erosion does not occur.  Sedimentation pits will be provided at appropriate location to trap the silt laden runoff water and prevent excessive silt from going outside.  The storm water drains will be diverted to a water reservoir to collect the runoff. This stored water will be utilized for civil construction purpose. Thus, there will not be any discharge from the site which can have any impact on the water quality.

4.3.5 Impact on Soil & Mitigation Measures During construction activity, the impact on soil will be limited to the construction site only. Impact on soil during construction would be mainly due to the left out of construction material used. Mitigation measures  Careful design, planning and good site management would minimize wastage of materials such as concrete, mortars and cement grouts.  Construction wastes will be segregated as much as possible at site itself to increase the feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling material and steel pieces as saleable scrap.  Litter disposal and collection points will be established around the work sites.  Empty packaging materials, drums, glass, tin, paper, plastic, pet bottles, wood, thermocol and other packaging materials, etc. will be disposed through recyclers.  The construction spoils will be temporarily stored at designated dumpsite located inside the plant premises.

4.3.6 Impact on socio-economic environment The social impact during the construction stage will be of beneficial nature. People will get employment during the construction stage on daily average basis. Expansion project will result in growth of the surrounding areas by increased direct and indirect employment opportunities in the region including ancillary development and supporting infrastructure. In addition to the opportunity of getting employment in construction work, the local population would also have employment opportunities in related activities like petty commercial establishments, small contracts and supply of construction materials etc. Local people will be given preference for employment on the basis of their skill and experience. Further, the project will also lead to the development of market, trade centers, activities etc.

4.4 ANTICIPATED IMPACTS DURING OPERATION PHASE & PROPOSED MITIGATION MEASURES The process involved in the expansion of alcohol productioncapacity has varying impacts on the different components of the environment. All these impacts will be considered for impact assessment and accordingly the mitigation measures will be adopted. The design basis for all process units will lay special emphasis on measures to minimize the impact at source itself.

4.4.1 Impact on land use pattern Total plant area is 11.74 ha (29.0 acres) and expansion will be done within the existing plant premises, thus, no additional land is required for the same. Therefore, no change in existing land use pattern within the core zone is envisaged, except for green area, which will be increased during plant operation. Out of the total plant area of 11.74 ha, 3.9 hectares (9.6 acres)(~33% of the total plant area) has already been developed under greenbelt & plantation and same will be made dense and maintained in future also.

4.4.2 Impact on air quality and mitigation measures 4.4.2.1 Impact due to operation of proposed expansion project Air quality depends on two pollutants released from the industry i.e. fugitive emissions and gaseous emissions. During operational phase, boiler will be used for generation of process steam and power. The installation of 6 MW Co-generation power plant will take place and the fuel used will be concentrated spent wash and coal /rice husk/bagasse. Sulphur oxides, nitrogen oxides, particulate matter emissions from fuel will be released into the

atmosphere if not treated properly. Moreover, the handling, storage of raw material as well as transportation activities will result in dust generation as fugitive emissions. A) Stack emissions  Bag Filter with stack of adequate height has been installed with the boiler (23 TPH) to control the particulate and gaseous emissions, as per CPCB guidelines.  Bag Filter with stack of adequate height will be installed with the proposed boiler (56 TPH) to control the particulate and gaseous emissions due to combustion of fuel.  Necessary temperature profile is being/will be maintained to decrease nitrogenous emissions.  Greenbelt around the periphery and within premises has already been developed and same will be maintained.

 CO2 generated during the fermentation process is being/will be collected by utilizing CO2 scrubbers and sold to authorized vendors.  In order to carry out efficient dispersion of gaseous pollutants, desired velocity of emission is being/shall be ensured through proper functioning of FD/ID fans.  Optimum air-fuel ratio (AFR) in the co-generation power plant is being/will be ensured throughout the operation period.  Sampling port & monitoring point and online monitoring system is being/will be provided at prescribed stack height.  The whole process is being/ will be carried out in closed condition so as to avoid any chances of VOC emissions. B) Fugitive emissions Sources of Fugitive Emissions in Distillery Plant and Mitigation Measures In distillery, the fugitive dust is emitted primarily from the following operations:  Transportation: Movement of heavy trucks/vehicles on the roads generates substantial quantity of dust. This is due to the presence of dust over the road, which is carried away by wind.  Fuel Handling: Rice husk/coal/bagasse transportation causes dispersion of dust while handling, loading etc.  Fly Ash Handling: Fly ash has the tendency to disperse in the environment as soon as it comes in contact with air, as such loading of fly ash causes unavoidable dispersion in and around nearby areas. Fly ash remain suspended in environment for long hours, as such inhalation by humans can cause accumulation inside respiratory systems and may cause inhalation problems. The flora present in the area will get affected by long term deposition on leaves surfaces and can cause blockage of stomatal pores. Wilting of leaves of plants primarily exposed to fly ash can be seen. Deposition of ash on soil surface can reach to ground water and can cause contamination beyond acceptable extents. The dispersion of fly ash can also cause accumulation in treated waste water and can cause contamination of treated waste water. Action plan to control fugitive emissions  All the internal roads have been asphalted during the implementation of the existing plant. Therefore, vehicular movement may not generate fugitive dust.  Covered enclosures have been/will be provided for the raw materials while transportation via trucks/trolleys.  Covered conveyor belts are/will be there to prevent dispersion of dust at various transfer points.

C) Odor Problems and Mitigation Measures Odor is a problem in the distillery plant due to typical odor compounds like alcohol, iso-amyl &iso-butyl alcohol (fusel oils) & H2S. The odour problems are the prime cause of irritation to people working in plant site. Though foul odour may not cause direct damage to health, toxic stimulants of odour may cause ill health or respiratory symptoms. Secondary effects, in some, may be nausea, insomnia and discomfort. Very strong odour can result in nasal irritation, trigger symptoms in individuals with breathing problems or asthma. Thus, the cited mitigation measures for odor control are as follows: • Adequate greenbelt all around the periphery of the plant. • Conc. Spent wash is incinerated instead of bio-composting which reduces odour problems to great extents. • Efficient CO2 scrubbing to avoid carryover of alcohol vapors & other fumes. • Regular steaming of all fermentation equipment. • Longer storages of any product/by-products is being/will be avoided & use of efficient biocides to control bacterial contamination. • Regular use of disinfectants in the drains to avoid generation of putrefying micro-organisms.

4.4.2.2.3 Interpretation of results The maximum incremental GLCs due to the plant for PM & gaseous emissions are superimposed on the maximum baseline PM concentrations recorded at the monitoring locations during the field monitoring period. The maximum GLCs after implementation of the project are very much likely to be within the prescribed NAAQ standards. For PM2.5 & PM10, predicted maximum GLC for project is found to 0.19 µg/m3& 0.36 µg/m3(Figure 4.1& 4.2) at 3 850 m and 1000 m, for SO2 is found to be 1.5 µg/m (Figure 4.3) at 770 m and for NO2 is found to be 1.33 µg/m3 (Figure 4.4) at 750 meters in the downwind direction i.e. East. The air quality contours are minimizing their values as we move away from the source. Pollution mitigation and management plan should be followed to curtail the impact of gaseous and dust emissions in the study area.

4.4.2.3.2 Additional traffic due to expansion project Major raw material used for production of alcohol after expansion i.e. Molasses will be transported by local suppliers through trucks; thus, there will be little impact due to transportation of the same. Fly ash will be supplied to nearby brick manufacturers or given to farmers to be used as manure or converted to ash granules to be used as potash fertilizer in a covered manner; thus, no harmful effect is anticipated on the surrounding environment due to transportation of fly ash. The proposed expansion project will have some impact on transportation as movement of raw materials for finished products will be involved. The number of trucks would increase due to plant’s activities in the area. Proper arrangements for movement of vehicles and parking are already present within the plant site complex. Additional Traffic during operation of the plant due to raw material and finished products transportation has been given in table below.

The LOS value is “Very good” for State Highway 29; hence, the additional load on the carrying Capacity of the concern roads is not likely to have any change in the LOS value. Thus, it can be concluded that the present road network is good enough to bear the minor increased traffic load. The company takes/will take all appropriate measures to reduce the impact of transportation. Proper mitigation measures are being/will be adopted by the company to minimize traffic flow to the best possible extent resulting in low level of dust, noise & gaseous emissions. Anticipated Impacts  Increase in traffic density will lead to air pollution.  Movement of vehicles will cause noise pollution.  No direct impact envisaged on the flora and fauna of the area.  Increased traffic may cause accidental incidences and public health problems.

Mitigation Measures  Vehicles with PUC Certificate are being/will be hired.  Regular maintenance of vehicles are being/will be done to ensure smooth running of vehicle.  Vehicles are being/will be covered with a tarpaulin & not over loaded.  Vehicular emissions are being/will be kept under control and regularly monitored.  Un-necessary blowing of horn is being/will be avoided.  Roads are being/will be maintained in good condition to reduce noise due to traffic.  Greenbelt of appropriate quality and width has already been developed and same will be maintained.  To avoid accidents the speed of vehicles is being/will be low near habitation areas.

4.4.3 Impact on noise level and mitigation measures During operation phase, there is likely hood of some increase in noise in that area only due to establishment of a new unit. The sources of noise are running equipment viz. exhaust fans, compressors, pumps, motors, DG sets, cooling towers etc. It may be due to regular operational requirements, poor lubrication, worn out parts, loosened nuts/ bolts, improper foundation and its mountings, flattened springs support etc. The noise can also be generated due to other ancillary activities and movements of vehicles on roads, highways etc. The noise level near the machinery will be maintained below 85 dB (A) and the expected noise levels at the plant boundary will be maintained below 75 dB (A) during day time & 70 dB (A) during night time. Following noise abatement measures is being / will be taken:  Proper maintenance, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals is being/ will be done to reduce noise generation.  Proper acoustic enclosures are being/will be provided to equipment making excessive noise.  Personal Protective Equipment like earplugs and earmuffs is being / will be provided to the workers exposed to high noise level.  Greenbelt of appropriate width inside the pant premises and at the plant boundary has been developed and same will be made dense in future.  Time to time oiling and servicing of machineries is being/ will be done.  Regular monitoring of noise level is being / will be carried out and corrective measures in concerned machinery are being / will be adapted accordingly to the possible extent.

4.4.4 Impact on water quality and mitigation measures Since, distillery is intensive water utilizing industry which results in generation of spent wash, which if discharged untreated can contaminate the ground and surface water quality in terms of increase in BOD, COD, TDS etc. The unpleasant odor of the effluent is due to the presence of skatole, indole and other sulphur compounds, which are not effectively decomposed during fermentation and distillation. Melanoidins are formed by Millard amino carbonyl reaction and have antioxidant properties, which make them toxic to many microorganisms. The high COD, total nitrogen and phosphate content of spent wash can result in eutrophication of natural water bodies. However, with the help of improved technology for wastewater treatment and recycling as well as reuse of water, the project is being/will be based on “Zero Effluent Discharge” which will prevent any adverse impact on the water quality of the area.

Mitigation Measures  The distillery is being /will be based on “ZERO EFFLUENT DISCHARGE”.  Spent Wash: Spent wash generated from the analyzer column during the operation, is being / will be concentrated in integrated & standalone Multi – Effect Evaporator (MEE) from initial 12% solid to 55% solid and transferred for complete incineration in a special boiler designed for spent wash. Hence, the complete spent wash is being / will be concentrated & incinerated.  Process Condensate: Process condensate from MEE is being / will be treated & polished in CPU and recycled to process and cooling tower makeup.  Spent Lees: The spent lees is being/will be completely used in fermentation process.  Closed water recycles system and plant process is designed to minimize fresh water requirement by recycling various effluents after treatment.  Domestic waste water generated from the plant is being/will be treated in STP (Capacity 25 KLPD).

4.4.4.1 Treatment of Effluent  Spent Wash: Spent wash generated is being/will be concentrated in MEE and burnt completely in boiler.  Process Condensate: Evaporation condensate from MEE is being/will be neutralized and polished in CPU and recycled to fermentation and cooling tower makeup.  Spent Lees: Spent lees is recycled in the process and cooling tower. The rectifier column lees is of soft water norms in terms of its TDS and can be best utilized as cooling tower make-up water.80% of rectifier lees is being/will be recycled in extractive distillation column as dilution medium for RS. Hence 100% spent lees will be recycled and utilized in distillation plant & its cooling tower.  Boiler, Cooling tower blow down: Blowdown is treated in CPU/ETP and recycled in the process. Details regarding ETP /CPU process along with flowchart have been already incorporated in Chapter II.

4.4.5 Impact on soil and mitigation measures The soil of the area may get affected due to operational activities, if proper care is not taken. i) Changes in soil texture due to settling of air borne dust. This will lead to change in porosity, permeability and other physical characteristics of soil of the area. ii) Changes in soil chemistry due to addition of foreign material from polluted air and water due to unit activities in the area. Mitigation measures  Bag filter with stack of adequate height has been installed with the existing boiler to control the particulate and gaseous emission.  A stack of adequate height equipped with Bag Filter will be installed with the proposed boiler after expansion.  No waste water is being/will be discharged outside the plant premises.  No dumping of solid or liquid waste is being/will be done during operation phase.

4.4.6 Impact due to solid and hazardous waste generation Solid and hazardous wastes, if not disposed as per the standards can cause soil pollution and harm to flora and fauna at the regional to local level. Also, it can result in fugitive emissions in the ambient environment. Yeast sludge will result in odor problems in the surrounding area. Used oil and grease when disposed of incorrectly it can harm the land, waterways, underground reservoirs and the marine environment. Oil storage area is also a potential fire hazard. Mitigation measures  Ash from the boiler is being/ will be given to brick manufacturers or farmers to use for soil amelioration or converted to ash granules to be used as potash fertilizer.  Concentrated spent wash generated is being/ will be burnt in the incinerator boiler.  Sludge is being/will be sent to sludge drying beds and used as manure. Hazardous Waste Management  Used oil generated from plant machinery/Gear boxes as hazardous waste is being/will be sold out to the CPCB authorized recycler or burn completely in incineration boiler.

4.4.7 Impact on Biological Environment There are no direct or indirect evidence of presence of any wildlife in the core and buffer areas of the project. The wildlife movement and survival will not be affected through expansion activities as there is no National park, Wildlife sanctuary, Biosphere reserves and protected forest within 10 km of the plant area. No schedule- I species were recorded in the core and buffer zone of plant area during the biodiversity assessment. There may be an impact on the biological environment of the area due to operation of plant, if proper care will not be taken:  Particulate matter emissions and fugitive emissions due to transportation activity & material handling may degrade the soil quality of surrounding environment that may affect the biodiversity of surrounding environment.  Fugitive emissions (dust) may impact the terrestrial flora. The settlement of dust on the laminar surface of plants can impede the efficiency of photo-transduction and thereby, affect the productivity of plants. In some of the plant, it may also smother the leaf surface blocking stomata, resulting in reduced transpiration. The present running plant has no significant impact on surrounding ecology and biodiversity as following mitigation measures have been / will be adopted:  Scaling up the greenbelt development and plantation in and around the plant site.  Using paved roads for transportation to minimize fugitive emissions.  Transporting material in close truck and storing it under covered facilities.  Transport vehicles and machinery will be properly maintained and periodically checked for pollution level to reduce noise and gaseous emission in the surrounding environment.

4.4.7.1 Greenbelt development and plantation programme The company has social obligation to recreate the environmental status by providing thick canopy cover to suppress fugitive emission and provide aesthetic beauty. Trees form important part of the biosphere in the Eco-system. The ecological belt maintains the natural balance of the area.

7.3 RISK ASSESSMENT AND HAZARD MANAGEMENT Hazard analysis involves the identification and quantification of the various hazards (unsafe condition) that exist in the plant. On the other hand, risk analysis deals with the identification and quantification of the risk, the plant equipment and Personnel are exposed to, due to accidents resulting from the hazards present in the plant. Risk analysis involves the identification and assessment of risks to the population exposed to hazards present. This requires an assessment of failure probability, credible accident scenario, vulnerability of population etc. Much of this information is difficult to get or generate consequently, the risk analysis in present case is confined to maximum credible accident studies and safety and risk aspect related toexpansion of Molasses based Distillery and Co-Generation power plant. Activities requiring assessment of risk due to occurrence of most probable instances of hazard and accident are both onsite and off-site. On-site  Exposure to fugitive dust, noise, and other emissions  Housekeeping practices requiring contact with solid and liquid wastes  Alcohol leakage/ spillage through pipeline during pumping & subsequent fire Off-site  Exposure to pollutants released from offsite/ storage/related activities  Contamination due to accidental releases or normal release in combination with natural hazard  Deposition of toxic pollutants in vegetation / other sinks and possible sudden releases due to accidental occurrences. In view of the hazards involved in handling and storage of hazardous chemicals and processes “On Site Emergency Plan” has been prepared. It gives a clear organization structure, including outside agencies and elaborates the duties to be performed by each individual when situation demands. The plan enumerates the actions required to be taken by various personnel working at different work station in the plant. Particular emphasis is given to eight most vital areas of disaster planning like Organization responsibilities, procedure, training, mutual aid, communication, transportation and public relations.

7.3.1 Identification of Hazards The following types of hazards are identified at the company. Table: 7.1 Hazard Identification

It may cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside the activity/project. It would normally require the assistance of emergency services to handle it effectively.

7.3.3.2 Scope An important element of mitigation is an emergencyplanning, i.e. identifying accident possibility, assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the emergency procedures, both on site and off site that would need to be implemented in the event of an emergency.

7.3.3.3 Objectives The overall objectives of the emergency plan will be: I. Define roles and responsibilities of site management II. Provide training and guidelines and requirements. III. Protect the human life and property. IV. Ensure the welfare of the public during emergency. V. Provide reference for those co-ordination emergency activities VI. Take account of shortcomings and update as appropriate from time to time.

7.3.3.4 Rehearsal and Updating of Plan Emergency plans need to be tested when first devised and thereafter to be rehearsed at suitable intervals. Individual personnel with duties under the plan are qualified by exercise which helps to refine the procedures by identifying deficiencies, difficulties and monitoring response time. To create awareness about safety and emergency response procedure among the personnel, mock drill is carried out monthly. Rehearsals or exercise are important for all personnel likely to be involved in an accident on or off the site because: I. They familiarize on-site personnel with their roles, their equipment and the details of the plans. II. They allow the professional emergency services to test their parts at the plan and the co-ordination of all the different organizations. III. They provide the current accuracy of the details of the plan (telephone numbers etc.) and the availability of special equipment (fire and rescue breathing sets etc.) IV. They give experience and build confidence in the team members. In the initial shock and confusion of real incident, the ability to fall back on established initial actions are invaluable. The on-site emergency procedures for each process plant, storage facility etc. are being/will be tested regularly and that all employees receive initial and refresher training, exercisesarebeing/will be arranged to test each part of the emergency plan on each plant, stage by stage. Emergency isolation and shut down is being/will be also rehearsed.
