1.5 Importance to country region
India is a major manufacturing house for bakery products and is the third- largest biscuit manufacturing country after USA and China (NPCS, 2013). The Indian bakery market is valued at Rs. 3,295 crore and out of this, bread and biscuits hold 82% of the share (Assocham, 2012).
India bread market stood at $ 570.73 million in 2016, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of over 11.29%, in value terms, during 2017-2022, to reach $ 974.39 million by 2022. Market forces and demographic trends are continuously influencing supply and demand; expanding working population and increasing number of health-conscious consumers are aiding India bread market. Changing lifestyles due to increased disposable income in advanced countries led to an increase in demand for processed foods (Wilkinson, 1987). Changes in food consumption patterns contribute to the development of food processing industry (Gopalan, 1994). Processing not only reduces the perishability but also increases shelf life of a product and makes it available to the consumer in a ready-to-consume and convenient form throughout the year is some of the other factors expected to propel demand for bread over the next five years i.e. 2022.
Thus the proposed product finds its increasing demand in Bakery Industry especially Breads and Cake application. Present manufacturing facility at Dombivali is falling short for catering the increasing demands of domestic needs for these additives and also meets the additional export market needs. Thus company have decided to initiate this proposed project at additional MIDC, Patalganga.
Export Possibility
Fine’s range of innovative additives have expanded their applications in food, plastics, cosmetics, textiles, paints, inks, rubber and many more. Thus, 80% of our products are exported to various countries. Thereby company is adding value to our nation’s Global business & also benefiting the economy. Similarly the proposed products of this project will find its export business to cater the increasing demand of bread industry. Thus the establishment of the proposed project is very well beneficiary & justified.

3.5 Physiography
The area fall under Konkan Region of Maharashtra. The district has a long indented coastline. The Sahayadri ranges in the east send several transverse numbers of subsidiary hills westwards denying the plains of a uniform level and continuous character. Many of the subsidiary hills of varying heights reach the coastline to form headlands or promontories.
On the basis of variation in local relief and other characteristics the district can be grouped into six physiographic divisions i.e. (i) Sahayadri Hills, (ii) Konkan Forested Hills, (iii) Sudhagad Plateau, (iv) Ulhas Basin, (v) Kal-Savitri Valley and (vi) Raigarh Coast. Raigarh district has six main drainage systems namely Ulhas, Patalganga, Amba, Kundlika, Savitri, Bhogavati rivers etc. originated in Sahyadri ranges and flows from east to west. http://cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Maharashtra/Raigarh.pd, http://mahenvis.nic.in/pdf/Soer/soer_cor6.pdff
3.5.1 Geology
The geology of the area consists of dark colored volcanic lava and laterites which date back to Mesozoic period. These are spread out in the form of horizontal sheets and beds and have innumerable spurs, hills, ridges, peaks and plateau. In the plains and valleys, the lava flows occurred below a thin blanket of soil which varies in thickness from place to place.
The basalt is a predominant rock formation of the district. The basalts are usually dark grey to grey in color and are hard compact and tough and fine to medium grained structure. Deccan Trap rock which is completely impervious to percolation, these causing an accuse shortage of water in summer. Beds of laterite, usually formed by mechanical and chemical disintegration brought by atmospheric agencies on the underlying trap, cap of several picks and lofty ridges in the district.
3.5.2 Hydrology
The district drained most by short westward flowing parallel streams which originate in the Sahayadri hills in the east and flow into the Arabian Sea. All the rivers are tidal for a considerable extent. Industrial Estates developed by MIDC namely Additional Patalganga MIDC located in catchments of Patalganga River Basin A-II class. The Patalganga receive the

3.6 Land Use Pattern
Land use is characterized by the arrangements, activities and inputs people undertake in a certain land cover type to produce, change, or maintain it. Definition of land use in this way establishes a direct link between land cover and the actions of people in their environment.
"Grassland" is a cover term, while "rangeland" or "tennis court" refer to the use of a grass cover; and "Recreation area" is a land use term that may be applicable to different land cover types: for instance sandy surfaces, like a beach; a built-up area like a pleasure park; woodlands; etc.
3.6.1 Land Cover of the study area
Land cover is the observed (bio) physical cover on the earth's surface. When considering land cover in a very pure and strict sense, it should be confined to the description of vegetation and man-made features. Consequently, areas where the surface consists of bare rock or bare soil are land itself rather than land cover. Also, it is disputable whether water surfaces are real land cover. However, in practice, the scientific community usually includes these features within the term land cover.
Land Use/Land cover for 10 km radius from project site of were delineated based on the Landsat ETM+ satellite data; the land use/Land cover classes are categorized based on the ground trothing and site visit. The land is classified in vegetation, barren land, Built up area and water Body etc. classes, detailed distribution of units showing in the below map, table and graph.
These images provide the information about the land use pattern of the study area. The different color represents the settlement or built up land Vegetation (include Agriculture and forest) area, barren Land and water bodies.
Built up land
It is defined as an area of human habitat developed due to non-agriculture use. The built-up land in 10 km radius from project site comprises of villages, towns, panchayat and revenue villages that include buildings, Industries, factories, transport, communications, utilities in

Table No. 3.3. Land use land cover statistics of the study area
Vegetation & Agricultural
The vegetation class use is a function of land productivity and land utilization practices over a period of time. It is an area within the notified forest boundary bearing an association of predominantly of trees and other vegetation types capable of producing timber and other forest produces. These lands are generally occupying the topographically high regions. Vegetation area 24 % of the area.
Water Bodies
This category comprises areas with surface water, either impounded in the form of ponds, lakes and reservoirs or flowing as streams, rivers, canals etc. These are seen clearly on the satellite image in blue to dark blue or cyan color depending on the depth of water. These areas were identified and mapped as water bodies; this unit is spatially distributed, 3.83 sq.km which is 1 % of the study area.
Open Land and Fallow land
It is described as degraded land which can be brought under vegetative cover with reasonable effort and which is currently under-utilized and land which is deteriorating due to lack of appropriate water and soil management or on account of natural causes. Wastelands can result from inherent/imposed constraints such as, by location, environment, chemical and physical properties of the soil or financial or management constraints. 51 % of the Open and Fallow Land are identified in study area.

Interpretation
Particulate matter emission (PM10& PM2.5): After completion of baseline survey it was found that all ambient air quality parameters are within the NAAQ standards of Central Pollution Control Board. At Ambivali tarf Wankhal and Borivali, it was found that high percentage of particulate matter as compared to other monitoring locations as it is densely populated area and vehicular movement and local activity are higher compare to other.
SO2 emission: SO2 emission is found at Ambivali tarf Wankhal and Borivali due to vehicular movement.
NOx emission: NOx emission at all monitoring location are within the NAAQ standards. At Ladivali it was found that high percentage of NOx as compared to other monitoring. Nitrogen dioxide is a large scale pollutant, with rural background ground level concentrations in some extent. Nitrogen dioxide plays a role in atmospheric chemistry, including the formation of troposphere ozone. Nitrogen dioxide is also produced naturally during electrical storms. The term for this process is "atmospheric fixation of nitrogen". The rain produced during such storms is especially good for the garden as it contains trace amounts of fertilize

Inference
A review of the above chemical analysis reveals that water from Patalganaga River not suitable for drinking purposes due to presence of MPN in the surface water samples collected. This is due domestic activity carried out near river bank. Domestic activity like washing of utensil, cloths, animal cleaning, human and animal excreta etc. are dumped in river water. Rest all the constituents are within the limits prescribed for drinking water standards promulgated by Indian Standards (10500: 2012).

Inference
Higher electrical conductivity of water sample was recorded in bore well, hand pump water dug well in Karade (Kh.) due to increase in concentration of dissolved ions in water in summer season. Increasing TDS concentration, hardness is due to salts enter groundwater through dissolution of soil, rock, and organic material. In summer season might be due to low water level and high rate of evaporation of water and addition of calcium and magnesium salts. Heavy metals are not detected in all the samples.

3.14 Socio-Economic Environment
In order to study the socio-economic aspects of the communities living in and around proposed project, the required data has been collected from the publications of Census Department, (2011 Census) Government of India.
The growth of any economy is dependent on various factors which include availability of natural resources, presence of feasible climatic conditions, skilled man-power, infrastructural support and a steady orientation and research towards growth and development. A vast range of developmental projects have been carried out in the country. Their sole purpose has been improving the living conditions of the citizens.
All developmental activities are primarily centered on human development. However, when a country needs to grow in terms of its industrial and technological standing, infrastructural development is necessary. Infrastructure ranges from providing resources to employing sets of skilled manpower for obtaining the desired results. All these elements when balanced at an international level bring about global development.

Proposed manufacturing unit for production food preservatives at Plot No.E-73 Additional EIA report Patalganga MIDC, Dist. Raigad, Maharashtra
At a local level when such activities are to be scoped socio-economic surveys play a key role. They not only emphasize the individual standing of a community but also delineate the possible socio-economic outcomes of any project. They include all the elements; from the conditions of the people living in that area to their working status. When developmental activities are about to occur in any area the socio-economic standing of the locality comes to the forefront.
A socio-economic survey highlights all the characteristics that jointly constitute a community.
To conduct this study both primary and secondary data sources are used. The methodology applied for primary data collection is as follows
Sampling Method
A purposive random sampling method has applied for selection of respondents from various sections of the society. The purposive random sampling method is helpful to choose right samples for the study.
Data Collection Method
In order to assess and evaluate the likely impacts arising out of any developmental projects on socioeconomic environment, it is necessary to gauge the apprehensions of the people in the project area.
Field survey and observations
Field Survey and Observations is made at each sampling village and the quality of life of that region is studied. The census data is collected from census department. A thoughtful questionnaire is prepared and during survey the questions were asked to the respondents and given information is recorded.
Interview Method
The interview method has the advantage that almost all perfect sample of the general population can be reached and respond to the approach. Interview method helps to collect more correct and accurate information as the interviewer is present during the field survey.

The respondents were asked for their awareness/opinion about the region and also of their opinion about the impacts of the proposed project area which is an important aspect of socio- economic environment, viz. job opportunities, education, health care, housing, transportation facility, and economic status.
The salient observations recorded during survey in the study area:
Majority of the respondents are engaged in Working in Industry, Cultivation activity and other work. Sanitation facilities are satisfactory in the study area. There are open drains from where the domestic waste water is disposed. People are not at all aware and careful about hygiene and cleanliness, this has resulted to increase of health problems in the area Power supply facility is available in almost villages and town in the study area mostly for domestic purpose Drinking water sources is mostly from MIDC, wells and hand pump. As regard to the drinking water facility Medical facilities in terms of Hospital, primary health center and primary health sub centers in the rural areas are good. The hospitals are available, have very good facilities. Doctors and nurse visit the villages for providing medical treatment. Transportation facility is seen very satisfactory in the study area because the road conditions are very good and satisfactory. Almost all the people use LPG and Kerosene as a main source of fuel and few people use wood for cooking purpose Sufficient communication facility are available in the study area Educational facilities are available in the form of primary and middle schools. In some villages, it is extended up to high school. For higher studies people avail the facility from the nearest town Houses of the region are mostly puccha house Awareness among the people regarding the study region project is poor

Chapter IV: IMPACT ASSESSMENT AND MITIGATION MEASURES
In this chapter prediction and evaluation of impacts from the various activities during construction and operation phase of the proposed project are interpreted. The possibility of alteration of environmental conditions or creation of a new set of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced by the action or set of actions under consideration are described in this chapter. Beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts on various components of environment are identified based on the nature of the various activities associated with proposed project Predictions are superimposed over baseline environmental status to derive ultimate environmental scenario
4.1 Identification of the Impacts
The purpose of identifying the impacts is that it aids in making appropriate decision to mitigate the adverse consequences if any. It may be pointed out that the distinction between magnitude and importance of impact should be appreciated. Thus the degree of extensiveness and scale of impacts and the consequences based on value judgments are generalized while identifying impacts; as it is imperative that the impact will normally lead to a chain of reactions. The construction of network charts brings out to certain extent the appropriate levels of risks that may occur due to the interventions while interacting with hydrological, biological and social systems.
The proposed project may influence the environment of the area in two phases:
Construction phase: During the Construction period, the impact may be temporary or short term. Construction activities are as under,
Site development (Excavation) Civil and structural construction Transportation of raw materials labor
Erection and commissioning phase
Transpiration and Installation of machinery Erecting other infrastructure

Model accepts hourly meteorological data records to define conditions for plume rise, transport, diffusion and deposition. The model estimates the concentration value for source and receptor combination for each hour of input meteorology and calculates user-selected short-term averages.
Air modeling
Air pollution causes harmful effect on environment and on living organism. Air pollutants can be in the form of particulate matter which can be harmful to human health. Short-term effects include irritation to the eyes, nose and throat, and upper respiratory infections such as bronchitis and pneumonia. Others include headaches, nausea, and allergic reactions. Short-term air pollution can aggravate the medical conditions of individuals with asthma and emphysema. Long-term health effects can include chronic respiratory disease, lung cancer, heart disease, and even damage to the brain, nerves, liver, or kidneys. Continual exposure to air pollution affects the lungs of growing children and may aggravate or complicate medical conditions in the elderly.
Air emissions from stacks and other sources can cause health and nuisance problems in the locality. Air Dispersion Modelling predicts emissions from a site and help explore the effect of various solutions. The air dispersion model will take the stack emissions and combine these with the weather conditions and effects of topography (hills, buildings etc.) and then predict the concentration at ground level of the emissions. The concentration of the substances are then generally compared to the ambient air quality standards.

Proposed manufacturing unit for production food preservatives at Plot No.E-73 Additional EIA report Patalganga MIDC, Dist. Raigad, Maharashtra
Methodology
The dispersion modeling studies of proposed pollutant was carried out using AERMOD version 8.1.2 which is also approved by United States Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) and also recommended by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change (MoEFCC).
The AERMOD atmospheric dispersion modeling system
Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that include algorithms to solve the mathematical equations that govern the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate the downwind ambient concentration of air pollutants or toxins emitted from sources. They can also be used to predict future concentrations under specific scenarios.
Prior to air quality modeling exercise, meteorological condition of one season within the study area was studied. Concentrations were estimated for the critical pollutants over 8 and 24 hours and compared with NAAQS.
Potential Air Environment Impact Assessment
During operation phase, three Thermo pack 15 lac kcal/hr will be proposed with separate stack.
The main air pollution source and SO2 and NOx may be expected as prime criteria air pollutants.
Based on the model simulation result under observed meteorological condition, 24 hours average maximum GLC of SO2 and NOx due to proposed boilers are predicted to be approximately 11.0 and 11.12 µg/m3 respectively and occurs at a distance at about 750 m from the common stack location in the SE and W direction. Model simulated result envisages that incremental ground level concentrations of critical pollutants due to proposed plant operation may be expected minimal and the resultant concentration level of SO2 and NOx pollutants may also be expected well within the NAAQS.

7.3.12 Consequence Analysis
7.3.12.1 Introduction
The accident scenarios as identified during HAZOP study are divided in two categories considering the consequence seriousness and occurrence frequency.
Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) Worst Possible Scenario.
7.3.12.2 Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS)
Maximum Credible Loss Scenario (MCLS) is one of the methodologies evolved to access the events in realistic and practical way. An MCLS can be described as the worst “credible” accident or as an accident with a maximum damage distance, which is still believed to be probable. Minor Leaks from hose/ piping failure are quite probable events. Such accidental release is considered as MCLS.
Worst Possible Scenario
Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident) Accident Scenario accidental release of Acetic acid release followed by dispersion down wind and fire/explosion is considered as Worst Case Scenario/ MCA (Maximum Credible Accident).

Figure No. 7.4. Marplot: Vulnerable Zone: Propionic Acid Release
IMPACT Acetic acid and Propionic acid release - ERPG 3 concentration prevails up to 117 and 75 m downwind respectively and immediate evacuation of the area is required It is reasonable to assume that well trained employees within the vulnerable zone are likely to move out of this zone in less than 10 minutes hence avoiding fatality. It should be noted that depending the prevailing atmospheric conditions at the time of the event the impact will undergo change. The event if not controlled immediately has potential of serious off site consequences affecting surrounding population. Acetic acid can react with water and/or water vapour. This can affect the downwind dispersion estimate.
7.3.15 Thermal Radiation Impact
Release of Flammable material leading to Pool fire at tank farm will result in thermal radiations and likely to have direct impact on the personnel in vulnerable zone with burn injuries and even fatality as given in below table,

7.3.15.1 Impact
Acetic acid and Propionic acid release followed by pool fire is estimated to be resulting 30 % and 31 % damage within 9.9 and 10.5 m radius zone respectively.
Thermal radiations of 10 Kw/m2 from Acetic acid and Propionic acid are likely within 10 and 20 m radius zone respectively, which is mainly tank farm. It is reasonable to assume that well trained employees within the vulnerable zone are likely to move out of this zone within 90 seconds hence avoiding fatality. Continued exposure to heat flux of 4.0 KW/m2 level of heat flux or greater is considered sufficient to cause injury. Hence, injury risk is likely up to 10 m around the pool fire it may be noted that thermal effect of a pool fire is usually limited to a distance of 2 to 3 times the pool diameter. Acetic acid and Propionic acid pool fire impact at Assembly point will not be significant.
7.3.15.2 Over Pressure Impact
ALOHA modeling of the vulnerable zones are superimposed on satellite site maps called MARPLOT for estimation of impact Flammable vapors cloud in flammable range finding source of ignition resulting into vapor cloud explosion is considered as Worst case scenario and following Table indicates the over pressure impact.

7.4 Conclusion
The potential consequences from the hazardous scenarios identified are determined and the impact zones modeled using ALOHA and PHAST software tools. The primary consequence types are pressure wave, thermal radiations, and toxic gas release. The stable atmospheric stability conditions, ambient temperature of 30oC, wind speed was 1.5 m/s. and humidity (50%), No inversion used for Consequence Analysis.
Consequence analyses is carried out modeling propionic acid evaporating pool, dispersion down wind, and pool fire is considered as worst possible scenarios having potential for serious off site consequence are considered for further quantities risk estimation . Consequence analyses of furnace oil and Diesel storage tanks pool fire are also carried out.
Apart from the maximum credible releases, the conservative approach appears in adoption of atmospheric conditions, used in the dispersion calculation. In general, the assumptions/ conditions will result in the largest damage distances. Hence, it must be remembered that this analysis will be pessimistic & conservative in approach & is only a planning tool. Its use should not be extended without understanding its limitations. Estimation of the event frequency of event is carried by developing Event tree for spill of Acetic acid, Propionic acid & Fuels at storage tank installation. Initiating event frequency as available from the literature is considering while developing the Event tree. The vulnerable zones as obtained during consequence analysis are superimposed on the satellite image of site plan termed as MARPLOT to assess the impact on the site activities and surroundings. The individual risk considering 80 employees engaged in site operations is estimated. The site is located in MIDC industrial Area hence assuming the same population density as that of the site societal risk of fatality is estimated data collected for constructing F-N curve. It should be noted that the risk estimation is for unmitigated risk. A series of risk mitigation measures are of two types 1) to reduce the probability of undesired event and 2) reducing the severity of the consequences.
As a part of risk mitigation measures in order to address the residual risk after providing risk mitigation measures following disaster control plans are prepared. Emergency Preparedness Plan, On Site Disaster Control Plan and Off Site Disaster Control Plan. In essence these plans

10.3.5 Greenbelt Development
Development of greenbelt in and around the industrial complex is an effective way to attenuate air pollution. The degree of pollution attenuation depends upon height, width, foliage, surface area of leaf and density of planted trees. Greenbelt will be developed as per CPCB guidelines. Taking into consideration ecological perspectives and availability of space and other aspects greenbelt development has been planned for the proposed project. This will help in increasing the aesthetic effect of the environment. Greenbelt will be developed along most of the periphery of the project area as well as along roads for avenue plantation. Area under plantation will be 1491 sq. m. (33 % of the open available plot area). The following characteristics have been taken into consideration while selecting plant species for green belt development and tree plantation.
Fast growing Thick canopy cover Perennial and ever green Large leaf area
159 MITCON Consultancy & Engineering Services Ltd.
Proposed manufacturing unit for production food preservatives at Plot No.E-73 Additional EIA report Patalganga MIDC, Dist. Raigad, Maharashtra
Preferably Indigenous Resistant to pollutants and should maintain ecological balance for soil and geo- hydrological conditions of the region. Abundance of surfaces on bark and foliage through roughness of bark, epidermal outgrowth on petioles, abundance of auxiliary hairs, hairs or scales on laminar surfaces and protected stomata (by wax, arches, rings, hairs, etc.)
Since, the greenbelt development will be done as per the requirement i.e. type of activity performed at a particular area/ block/ plot, thus the tree spacing will vary from plot to plot. Therefore, approx. 320 plants (including trees and shrubs) are proposed for the greenbelt development. The general guidelines for development of greenbelt will be as follows:
Trees growing up to 5 m or more will be planted along the plant premises and along the road sides Planting of trees will be undertaken in rows. Open areas inside the plant boundary will be covered with grass. The spacing between the trees will be maintained slightly less than the normal spaces, so that the trees will grow vertically and slightly increase the effective height of the green belt. Since the trunks of the tall trees are generally devoid of foliage, it will be useful to have shrubs in front of the trees so as to give coverage to this portion. Shrubs and trees will be planted in encircling rows around the project site. The small trees (<10 m height) will be planted in the first two rows (towards plant side) of the green belt. The tall trees (>10 m height) will be planted in the outer three rows (away from plant side). Trees should be planted along road sides, to arrest auto-exhaust and noise pollution. Table No. 10.4.

The Rain Water Harvesting (RHW) program can helps in many ways starting from conservation of natural resources to prevention of soil erosion. Rainwater is very helpful to industry in terms of saving of economy of water consumption. The rainwater collection by roof top harvesting has been preferred at present for the proposed project. Proponent has planned to conduct a detailed study after inception of proposed project for assessment feasibility, suitability of available techniques for implementation of rainwater harvesting program. Proponent has decided to conduct rainwater harvesting. The collected rain water will be used for groundwater recharging. The probable available catchment areas worked out to be approximately 12000 m2. The calculated harvesting potential details are provided in Table 10.6.
Storm Water Drainage Line: Channels will be installed wherever required to collect and transport rain water to the storage tank. Drainage will be semi-circular and will be made using Galvanized Iron sheet folded to required shapes. Drainages will be fixed using Iron Brackets.
Conduits: Pipes will be used to carry rain water from catchment to the recharge pit, passing through filter. A valve will be put at the end of wall for first flushing.
Filter: Sand Filter will be used to remove suspended pollutants from the rainwater.
Recharge: After filtration, water will be recharged using percolation pit, filled with pebbles or brick and river sand and covered with perforated concrete slabs. Depth of recharge pit will be designed according to ground water table of the area.
10 The quantum of water that could be harvested in the study area is calculated using the formula,
MITCON Consultancy & Engineering Services Ltd. 162

Harvesting potential = Catchment Area (m2) * Runoff Coefficient * Annual Rainfall (mm)
RWH Quantification
Runoff coefficient for calculating flow for rainwater design based on Central Pollution Control Board Ministry of Environment & Forests data. Average rainfall of Panvel District from last 10 years is 3016.90mm
(Source. cgwb.gov.in/District_Profile/Maharashtra/Raigarhf and www.agri.mah.nic.in).
Table No. 10.6. Incremental Run off due to project development
Particulars Total Avg. rainfall 3.0169 m Catchment area (m2) Rooftop area 2754 6724 m2 Landscape area(soft cape) 2500 Open area 1470 Run off co-efficient Rooftop area 0.95 Landscape area(soft cape) 0.6 Open area 0.8 Harvesting potential (m3) Rooftop area 7893.11547 15966.34 Road area 4525.35 m3/year Open area 3547.8744
Recommendations: Owing to the nature of aquifer rock, i.e. moderately weathered, fractured/jointed at most of the places, it is having moderate potential for recharge of aquifers.
1. Based on the survey and sec. information area shallow recharge structures such as recharge bores of limited depth around 2-5 m are suitable for the area.
2. Recharge pit around the dug well is recommended on site.
3. A recharge pit of 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.5 m depth should be constructed around the with filter media.
Surrounding recharge pits and filter media as provided in the design can be sufficient to recharge the aquifer area available on site in a scenario of reasonable distributed rainfall in the season.

Proposed manufacturing unit for production food preservatives at Plot No.E-73 Additional EIA report Patalganga MIDC, Dist. Raigad, Maharashtra
The surface run off is not directly led into the recharge bore, to avoid chances of contamination of groundwater. Instead rainwater is collected in a recharge pit which will be 1.0 m x 1.0 m x 1.5 m depth. After the excavation the pits are filled with pebbles, boulders as well as coarse sand which act as filter. The size of the filter material is generally taken as:
Coarse sand – 1.5 to 2 mm Gravels – 5 to 10 mm Boulders- 5 to 20 cm
The filter material should be filled in graded manner. Boulders at the bottom, gravels in the middle and coarse sand at the top. Inside this tube well a perforated casing should be inserted up to the depth where the upper loose strata give way to the hard strata. The annular space between the tube well and the slotted casing should be filled with gravel.
