Ltd., Chennai 2.2 Land Requirement Currently the project land is predominantly barren, the site is relatively flat on the northern side and therefore the property has been identified as land suitable for Industrial Development. Out of the 112.48 acres total site area, 16.81 acres land area will be retained as open space and will be used for greenery development. The proposed area for the Industrial Park of 112.48 Acres has been handed over to TSIIC. Majority of the land belongs to the government thus avoiding any Rehabilitation & Resettlement issues.

BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS The baseline data was monitored from March to May 2014 representing summer season to reflect the background environmental conditions in the 10 km radius from the study area. The baseline environmental disciplines studied includes meteorology, air quality, water quality, noise, soil, ecology, demographic & socio-economic and land use. 3.1 Air Quality Ambient air quality was monitored at four locations during the period of March to May 2014 in the study area. The summarized results of ambient air quality monitoring are given in Table-4. The results indicate that the background levels of all the parameters in the study area are within the permissible limit of National Ambient Air Quality Standards’2009 for industrial, rural, residential and other areas.
