(IV) Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA studies:
The EIA shall cover the following:
Description of the proposed project: Description of the proposed project” forms a vital component of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) as it provides the basis for evaluating the likely causes of Environmental Impacts.
Existing Environment and Baseline Conditions: The base line assessment will be carried out to identify potentially sensitive and critical areas that may be affected by the project in an area of 10 km surrounding the project location.
The existing environment and baseline conditions should be established from: - Analysis of existing information published and secondary data. - Consultation with relevant statutory authorities, and field visits for supplementation of missing gaps.
The key subject areas which the EIA shall address include Ecology and Nature conservation. Air quality, Surface and ground water quality in project impact area, Soil quality, Cultural heritage, Landscape, Land use, Noise level, etc. Natural habitats like national parks, wildlife reserves, sanctuaries, sacred grove, protected areas, forests, wetlands, major rivers and waterways if any, shall also be identified and marked.
Assessment of Environmental Impacts: Based upon the results from the review of existing information, field visits, site data collection and consultation, for each component of environment (physical, biological and socio economic) the positive, negative, direct and indirect, temporary and permanent impacts will be evaluated along with an indication of the degree of impact, i.e., whether the impact is significant, moderate, minor or negligible. The degree of impact shall also be quantified by using state of the art air quality impact prediction models based on ISCST3 algorithms.
Environment Management Plan and Mitigation Plan: For each significant negative impact identified, specialists shall work closely with the engineering team/technical consultants to suggest practicable measures to avoid or mitigate the impact. The mitigation of environmental impacts will be by three mechanisms.
Introduction of mitigation features through the engineering practices. Implementation of environmental controls during construction and operation. Legislative control involving compliance with Indian environmental laws.
The Environmental management plan shall include an estimate of capital and recurring costs of mitigation measures and will identify the institutional framework for implementation.
Page - 14 MKR Distilleries Proposed Grain based Extra Neutral Alcohol Production Plant at P.S: FORM - 1 Private Limited Nodakhali, P.O: Bawali , District: 24 Parganas (South), West Bengal
Monitoring Plan: Having identified the significant environmental impacts that are likely to arise as a result of the project, the project team shall specify what monitoring is required during the various phases of the project cycle.
The monitoring plan will identify parameters and frequency of monitoring and responsible organization.
