10) Air quality and noise quality are already in poor condition. At time of construction, quality
would worsen. What special care would be taken to preserve/improve air and noise quality
during construction?
The relevant mitigation measures to reduce air and noise pollution during construction phase
have been incorporated in Environmental Management Plan (EMP) that forms the contract
document between the project proponent and the concessionaire. Some of the major features of
EMP are:
Air
To reduce Dust Pollution:
• The contractor should take every precaution to reduce the level of dust from crushers/hot
mix plants, construction sites involving earthwork by sprinkling of water, encapsulation of
dust source and by erection of screen/barriers.
• All the plants will be sited at least 500m distance in the downwind direction from the nearest
human settlement.
• The contractor should provide necessary certificates to confirm that all crushers used in
construction conform to relevant dust emission control legislation.
• The suspended particulate matter value at a distance of 40 m from a unit located in a cluster
should be less than 500 g/m3. The pollution monitoring is to be conducted as per the
monitoring plan.
• Alternatively, only crushers licensed by the Pollution Control Board (PCB) shall be used.
The Contractor in such a case shall submit required certificates and consents.
• Dust screening vegetation will be planted on the edge of the RoW for all existing roadside
crushers. Hot mix plant will be fitted with dust extraction units.
To reduce Emission from Construction Vehicles, Equipment and Machineries:
• Contractor will ensure that all vehicles, equipment and machinery used for construction are
regularly maintained and their emission levels comply with the relevant requirements of
PCB.
• The Contractor will submit PUC certificates for all vehicles/ equipment/machinery used for
the project. Monitoring results will also be submitted to Supervision Consultant and Project
Implementation Unit as per the environmental monitoring plan.
Noise
To reduce Noise Pollution: Noise from Vehicles, Plants and Equipments:
The Contractor will conform to the following:
• All plants and equipments used in construction (including crushing plant) shall strictly
conform to the MoEF/CPCB noise standards.
• All vehicles and equipment used in construction will be fitted with exhaust silencers.
• Servicing of all construction vehicles and machinery will be done regularly and during
routine servicing operations, the effectiveness of exhaust silencers will be checked and if
found defective, it will be replaced.
• Limits for construction equipment used in the project such as compactors, rollers, front
loaders, concrete mixers, cranes (moveable), vibrators and saws shall not exceed 75 dB (A)
(measured at one meter from the edge of equipment in the free field), as specified in the
Environment (Protection) rules, 1986.
• Maintenance of vehicles, equipment and machinery shall be regular and up to the
satisfaction of the SC to keep noise levels at the minimum.
• At the construction sites within 250 m of the nearest habitation, noisy construction work
such as crushing, concrete mixing, batching will be stopped during the night time between
10.00 pm to 6.00 am.
• No noisy construction activities will be permitted around educational institutes/health
centers (silence zones) up to a distance of 100 m from the sensitive receptors
• Monitoring shall be carried out at the construction sites as per the monitoring schedule and
results will be submitted to SC and PIU. SC will be required to inspect regularly to ensure
the compliance of EMP.
• Noise barrier shall be established at sensitive locations such as hospitals, educational
institution etc during construction.
11) What is the minimum distance of any existing industry from ROW in entire stretch?
Many industrial units are located along the project road and the prominent ones being cold
storage units, auto-parts related and transport companies. The minimum distance of these
industries are, outside the existing ROW that is minimum 45m from the existing centerline.
12) What is the expected completion time of six lane highway project
• The bidding process will be completed by end of year 2011
• Construction period will be 3 years
• The six laning opening year likely to be by end of 2014.
13) What would be impact on surrounding agricultural land during construction phase on both
side of road?
No significant impact is envisaged on surrounding agricultural lands.
14) Whether topsoil analysis before and after construction is proposed to assess impact on soil?
Yes, the topsoil analysis before and after construction is proposed as part of the Environmental
Monitoring Plan that comes under Environmental Management Plan (EMP). This EMP will form
the contract document between the project proponent and the concessionaire at the time of
construction.
