2.3 Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) for Wastewater Management:

Total wastewater generation in the proposed activity is about 1351 cmd. The scheme proposed for the treatment of sewage in the proposed development is compact & effective Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) of 1360 cmd capacity using revolutionary ‘Moving Bed Bio Reactor’ (MBBR) Technology. The proposed system will consist of the following major stages: 1. Sewage Collection & Pumping System 2. Manual Bar Screen & Grit Chamber 3. Aeration Tank & Tube-deck Settlers 4. Filtration System 5. Disinfection System

1. Sewage collection & pumping system: Raw sewage will enter the raw sewage sump. Raw sewage transfer pumps will pump the sewage to the STP through the screen & grit removing stages. One pump will be on duty & the other stand by.

2. Manual Bar Screen & Grit Chamber: A combination of coarse & fine screens will be provided for removal of floating debris from the sewage. The coarse screen will have spacing of 10 mm & will be periodically cleaned. The fine screen will have a spacing of 5 mm & will be periodically cleaned. The outlet from the screen chamber is let into the sewage treatment system.

3. Sewage Treatment System:

The description of the major components of the proposed sewage treatment system is as follows:

A) MBBR Bioreactors:

The MBBR aeration tanks are located next to each other. Each of the tanks will be provided with aeration pipelines at the bottom, which will be in stainless steel & are manifold to cover half the periphery of the tank. Aeration tank is filled with a specific quantity of the bio-media, which is made of plastic material with a specific gravity just below that of water, to enable it to remain in suspension.

The inlet of the aeration tank is on the top with the sewage falling freely into the MBBR tank. The outlet is located on the opposite side, which has a perforated screen mounted on it, which prevents the bio-media from flowing out of the MBBR tank. Both compartments are connected to each other by a fabricated channel, which has perforated sheets on each side. The outlet of the second MBBR is connected to the tube settler unit.

B) Tube Settler Unit:

Sewage from aeration tank along with biological stabilized solids will flow by gravity to the compact tube settler unit. The separation of the solid from the sewage

is achieved by laminar flow developed by the tubes. Due to this, heavier solids slide down along the inside of the tubes, whereas the clear water rises up and flows out.

The sludge settling at the bottom of the tanks will be transferred from time to time to the sludge holding tank. The clear water from the settling tank will overflow into the filter feed tank.

C) Aeration System: The aeration system consists of two air blowers. One blower will be on duty while the other will be on stand-by. The blowers will be used for aeration inside the MBBR.

4. Filtration System:

This consists of a pressure multimedia filter that removes any remaining suspended solids in the treated water so as to ensure its total conformance with the discharge standards set by the regulatory authorities. The filter is to be backwashed at pre-set intervals with water from the treated water tank.

5. Disinfection System:

The disinfection system, which comprises of a dosing system, ensures complete removal of any remaining harmful organisms in the water. The water flowing into the polishing filter feed tank is dosed with an oxidant above & then allowed to remain in the tank for a predetermined time so that there is enough contact time for the oxidant to totally disinfect the water.

6. Sludge:

The excess sludge is pumped to the sludge tank from where de-sludging is to be done once every 3-6 months (depending on load factors) by pumping out to tankers & disposal engaging corporation private agencies.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

1. Objectives:

The objective of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is to formulate measures, which will: 1. Mitigate adverse impacts on various environmental components, 2. Protect environmental resources where possible, 3. Enhance the value of environmental components where possible.

It is emphasized that many of the protective and enhancement measures can be implemented by adopting suitable planning and design criteria for construction of the project.

2. Land Environment:

2.1. Traffic Management:

. Construction Phase:

Special care will be taken during transportation of construction material like cement, sand, aggregate etc as considerable quantities of such material would be transported from various material suppliers. The material will be sourced from the nearest available government approved contractor since road transport is unavoidable, such movement will be during non- peak hours as far as possible.

. Operation Phase: Adequate provisions have been made in the internal roads, for smooth vehicle entry and exit.

The impact on land environment during operation phase will be due to movement of vehicles of residents and commercial facilities and other visitors to the site. Precautions will be taken to minimize impacts on land environment will be as follows: . Development internal roads will be as per the norms of Urban local bodies.. . Adequate provisions will be made through provision of internal roads of minimum 6 m width for smooth vehicle entry and exit. . Adequate parking are provided as per norms of Urban local bodies.

2.2. Solid Waste Management:

Please refer Annexure-II for details on solid waste management. The salient features of the proposed solid waste management strategy are as follows:

Environmental Clearance for Proposed Development at Atgaon Village, Shahapur, Thane

. Construction stage For waste generated during the construction phase, gross segregation of the wastes into roadwork materials, structural building material and salvaged building parts would be made. Additional segregation to facilitate reuse/ recycling would be made. Material wastes like bricks, cement etc. will be used as fill material and concrete would be recycled and reused at the site. Adequate facilities for the storage of these waste materials would be made on site.

. Operation stage Management of solid waste generated during the operation phase would include collection, transportation and disposal in a manner so as to cause minimal environment impact. Waste will be segregated into biodegradable and non- biodegradable waste.

Collection of segregated waste would be made from the residential areas and commercial areas. Biodegradable waste would be transferred to proposed mechanical composting units within the premises for disposal and non-degradable waste will be disposed through authorized municipal waste disposal system.

3. Air pollution:

3.1. Construction Phase: a) Mobile source emissions: 1. Transportation of raw materials required for construction will be carried out during non-peak hours. 2. Idling of delivery trucks or other equipment will not be permitted during unloading or when not in active use. 3. To minimize dust emissions due to trucks carrying cement, gravel, sand to site, ready mix concrete carried in enclosed container will be used which is a better option as compared to on site batch mixing. 4. Dust covers will be provided on trucks used for transportation of materials prone to fugitive dust emissions. 5. Covering scaffolding equipment and cleaning of vehicles to be carried out to reduce dust and vapor emissions. b) For stationary source emissions: 1. Most of the machinery related to construction will be located close to construction area for ease of handling. Machinery such as conveyers and mixers will be screened with sheets of suitable material to reduce transport of suspended particulate matter and noise. 2. All stationary construction equipment will be located as far away as possible from sensitive receptor locations in order to allow maximum dispersion of emitted pollutants. 3. Areas prone to fugitive dust emissions due to activities such as excavation, grading sites and routes of delivery vehicles across patches of exposed earth, will be frequently water sprinkled to prevent re-entrainment of dust. 4. Hosing down road surfaces especially if they are unfinished surfaces will be carried out to help to prevent fugitive dust emissions.
