Annexure-2
Mitigation measures during transportation
Air pollution during construction would be primarily due to fugitive emissions from
vehicular movement, site preparation activities and material handling. Weathering of
soil would take place as a result of clearing of vegetation, excavation and movement of
heavy vehicles. The weathered soil generates dust due to re-entrainment during
vehicular movement and equipment mobilization. Such dust emissions as experienced
in other similar construction activities are of larger than 10µ (more than respirable
range) and propagates to short distances.
Considering the construction phase activities to be of temporary in nature, limited daily
movement of project vehicles (4-6 nos. vehicle for transportation of personnel and 9-10
nos. for material transport) and adopting specific mitigation measures like spraying of
water, management of vehicle loadings, using covered trucks for transportation etc. No
significant impact is envisaged.
The block area doesn’t have any villages or any kind of human settlement and entirely
within desert area. Hence, no disturbance or impacts envisaged within the project area.
Mitigation Measures
Water spraying will be done on the access roads to control re-entrained dust
during dry season;
All vehicles used for transportation of loose and friable materials will not be
loaded over the freeboard limit and will be covered.
All the vehicles should be PUC certified
Engines and exhaust systems of all vehicles and equipment used for the project
will be maintained so that exhaust emissions are low and do not breach statutory
limits set for that vehicle/equipment type.
Equipment, machinery and vehicles having in built pollution control devices will
be considered as a measure for prevention of air pollution at source
DG set with appropriate stack height will be used.
ROAD SAFETY AND TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Road Safety & Traffic Management Plan is applicable to all operation pertaining to
OIL and contractor vehicular movement viz. vehicle involved in the transportation of
raw materials, project and contractor personnel, drilling rig and other heavy equipment
transportation to well site and decommissioning.
Project vehicular movement involved in transportation of construction material,
machineries and equipment for developmental drilling will be restricted to defined
access routes to be identified in consultation with locals and concerned authorities

The condition of roads and bridges identified for movement of vehicles and drilling
rig will be assessed by OIL/Contractors to ensure their safe movement
Precautions will be taken by the contractor to avoid damage to the public access
routes including highways during vehicular movement
Provide safe and convenient passage for vehicles, pedestrians and livestock to and
from side roads and property accesses along defined project routes
Traffic flows will be scheduled wherever practicable during period of increased
commuter movement
Movement of vehicles during night time will be restricted. Speed limits will be
maintained by vehicles involved in transportation of construction material and
segregated waste.
Proper signage will be displayed at important traffic junctions along the predefined
access routes to be used by construction and operational phase traffic. The signage
will serve to prevent any diversion from designated routes and ensure proper speed
limits are maintained near village residential areas
Adequate training on traffic and road safety operations will be imparted to the
drivers of project vehicles. Road safety awareness programs will be organized in
coordination with concerned authorities to sensitize target groups.
Regular supervision will be carried out control vehicular traffic movement along
defined traffic routes particularly near identified sensitive receptors

Proposed green belt plan with timeline and budget
OIL already has plantations around its Tanot Gas processing plant. Peripheral greenbelt
will be developed in a phase-wise manner by undertaking Source & Receptor Approach
Based Plantation around the facilities to mitigate the impact of fugitive emission.
The selection of species and plantation are carried out based on CPCB guidelines and
the recommendations. Most common species are Accacia nilotica, Azardirachta indica,
Pongamia pinnata, Ziziphus nimmularia, Punica granatum, Parkinsonia aculeata, Phoenix
sylvestris, Tamarix aphylla and Ziziphus jujube etc. The green belt will also be serving as
wind abatement system to prevent any generation of wind blow dust onsite.
Objective of the Greenbelt Development
The main objectives of creating a green belt around a reservoir are to:
For absorption of gaseous pollutant (CO2)
For removal of suspended particulate matter
Attenuation of noise generated from facility
To minimize the soil erosion
To reduce surface evaporation
To develop natural barrier from sand storm
Develop the habitat for desert specific avi-fauna.
Provide alternative habitat/shelter for local reptiles, mammals etc in hot
summer time.
General Consideration for Greenbelt Development
The general consideration involved while developing the greenbelt are-
Trees growing up to 10 m or above in height with perennial foliage should be
planted around well pad with the early production unit.
Planting of trees should be undertaken in appropriate encircling rows around
the well site and early production facility.
Generally fast-growing species should be planted.
Since, the tree trunk is normally devoid of foliage up to a height of 3 m, it may be Useful
to have shrubbery in front of the trees so as to give coverage to this portion.
Plantation
The tree plantation will be done at a spacing of 2.5 x 2.5 m. About 1500 trees per ha will
be planted. The maintenance of the plantation area will also be done by the project
proponent. The treated waste water and the manure generated by composting of

municipal solid waste generated for Worker camp and office premises will be used for
the greenbelt development. The species recommended for greenbelt development are
given in Table below.

Irrigation Arrangements:
Water is a very scarce within the block area and which is also necessary for survival of
the plantations. With a commitment to optimize fresh water use, arrangement will
made to reuse treated water, produced water for irrigation in greenbelt areas. To
further optimize water requirement, drip irrigation networks will also be installed.
Surface evaporation contribute significant amount of water loss that has reduced by
using unique method of drip irrigation by putting half cut pet bottles at the end of drip
pipe for direct irrigation in plant root zone. Surface mulching with locally available
under-shrubs or grasses will be used in greenbelts. Mulching is known to reduce
evaporative loss of soil moisture, moderate root zone temperature and improve
microbial activities and nutrient availability.
Greenbelt Maintenance
The development and maintenance of greenbelt in desert region requires care and
maintenance manpower. Dedicated greenbelt maintenance contracts will also be
awarded to local contractors for maintaining the greenbelt areas in and around the
facilities as well as development of new greenbelt areas.
Timeline and Budget for Green belt development
OIL proposed to increase the existing green belt cover by plantation of more trees.
About 200 additional trees will be planted with a total allocated budget of INR 50000
within a span of next 1 year after commencement of project activities.
