2.10. What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts) The runoff from the site would be very negligible and it will be directed through storm water drains for recharging of ground water.

2.11. How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels) The township will have a well connected network of storm water drains. That will transport the rain-water from the site to rainwater harvesting pits.

2.12. Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation) No. No adequate sanitation facilities and septic tank for treating sewage will be provided in camp sites created for labors came in from outside. Majority of labor are locals.

2.13. What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal)
