VCIC traverses along the nine coastal districts of Andhra Pradesh. Initially four nodes i.e. Vizag, Kakinada, Kankipadu- Gannavaram and Yerpedu – Srikalahasthi were proposed during the Concept Development Plan (CDP) stage. Finally two nodes one at Vizag and other at Chittoor/Srikalahasthi were suggested. Andhra Pradesh Industrial Infrastructure Corporation (APIIC) played a key role in shortlisting of the nodes. APIIC is the owner of the lands identified in both the nodes. Chittoor/Srikalahasti node has two project sites, north block/cluster site and south cluster/block site. In which, the Initial phase of start-up area is about 2770 acres (~1121 ha) has been delineated in the south cluster site by APIIC for the Industrial development. Industrial uses are distributed into five major clusters namely Building Materials Industry/Non Metallic minerals, Electronics and Consumer Durable Industry, Engineering Industries (Machinery/ Electrical Equipment’s/ Automobile etc.,), Food and Agro Processing Industry, Apparels and Textile Industry, Chemical and Pharmaceutical Industry, Logistic and Ware house and MSME (includes Leather, Plastics, wood etc.,). Proposed supporting uses includes residential area, commercial area which is adjacent to the residential area planned to provide necessary services for residents, employees and visitors. Proposed subcomponent within commercial plot includes hotel, offices, retails, eateries and Industrial Training Centre. Open Space/Green area proposed in the start–up area is around 11% of the total area. The proposed project will integrate green and sustainability features in its development. Total one time water demand for the proposed project is ~18.0 MLD but considering the reuse of ~10.0 KLD of treated wastewater, the actual fresh water demand is ~8.0 MLD. The water requirement for the start-up area will be met from Kandaleru Reservoir through approved the Bulk water supply project planned by APIIC. The power requirement during the operation phase of the proposed IP is ~106 MVA. The energy/power for the proposed project will be sourced from 400 KV substation of APSPDCL which is under construction in Rachagunneri substation at Yerpedu Mandal, west of Srikalahasti. The estimated Industrial wastewater generation is about 6.45 MLD and total sewage will be about 3.89 MLD. The Start-up area will have a common facility for treating the industrial and domestic wastewaters (STPs/CETPs). The wastewater characteristics of the individual sectors will be analyzed and based on the compatibility with other sectors treatment facility shall be conceptualized. Possibility of combining and treating the Industrial area sewage and industrial wastewater will also be analyzed. The treated wastewater shall be recycled and reused in the system. Industries willing to have their own treatment facilities for effluent and sewage shall be developed by the industry in their premises. The sewage 1 Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA Study Page 1 C1182901 DPR VCIC CTR Node (SB) RP002-P3rev. 0 Draft Terms of Reference (ToR) generated (2.77 MLD) at residential area will be treated in STP which will be developed on modular basis. MSW generated for the proposed IP is estimated to be ~15.0 TPD and Industrial solid waste including hazardous and non-hazardous waste is estimated to be ~102 TPD. Municipal waste in the form of canteen waste, commercial wastes from operations will be generated. Disposal of these wastes will be carried out as per prevailing norms. Hazardous waste will be sent to new TSDF near Raviguntapalli, Nellore which 60 km north of the start-up area. Industries shall follow Hazardous and Other Waste (Management and Transboundary Movement) and amendment thereof, 2016. The project cost is estimated at about INR 466 Crores Proposed Project is likely to generate direct employment of ~30,000 nos. The Pre-feasibility Report outlining project details is enclosed as a standalone document. The proposed project attracts EIA notification, 2006 (as amended). 1.2 Location Project site is located in Routhusurumala, Gowdamala, Kothatpalem, Alathuru and B.S.Puram villages in Thottambedu and B. N. Kandriga Mandals of Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh. The location map is given as Figure FD0101. 1.3 EIA Methodology Methodology to carry out the EIA study involves the following stages: Reconnaissance survey and site visits Review of available literature Compliance to statutory requirements Baseline environmental monitoring (Terrestrial environment) Identification and Prediction of Impacts Preliminary Risk Analysis and Disaster Management Plan Environmental Management Plan 1.3.1 Baseline Environmental Monitoring The baseline environmental studies will be carried out for terrestrial environment. The study will be a combination of primary (field surveys) and secondary data collection. Study Period: The prosed project site is falling in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh. Though Chittoor districts experiences both Southwest and Northeast Monsoon, as per IMD (glossary) NE monsoon is termed as Post monsoon/Retreating SW monsoon. Also NE monsoon is the main rainfall season for Tamil Nadu compare to other southern peninsular areas of influence such as meteorological subdivisions of Coastal Andhra Pradesh (CAP), Rayalaseema (RYS), Kerala (KER) and South Interior Karnataka (SIK). In addition, Chittoor District rainfall data for the period 1951 – 2000 reveals that 417.1 mm during Southwest monsoon and 362.9 mm during Northeast monsoon. Considering the project timelines and above mentioned IMD monsoon classifications, the study period proposed for baseline surveys is Post-monsoon season of year 2018 (October 2018 – December 2018). 1 Proposed Terms of Reference for EIA Study Page 2 DPR VCIC CTR Node
