Executive Summary

ES-5 Baseline Environmental Status
Air Environment
PM10
The study reveals that maximum concentration on 24-hourly basis was observed to be in the
range of 49.6 & 75.2 µg/m3. The highest 24-hourly concentration was recorded at sampling
location A1. At the same time minimum average 24-hourly concentration was observed at
location A8. The average concentration of PM10 can be said to be ranged between 44.4µg/m3 to
74.1µg/m3. The high concentration of particulate matter recorded at project site (A1) may be due
to industrial emissions and vehicular traffic flow in the MIDC area.
PM2.5
The major source of PM2.5 is said to be the combustion of fossil fuel, fire wood etc. The
maximum 24 hourly concentration of PM2.5 (45.4 µg/m3) during the study period was recorded at
location A1, whereas the minimum 15.4 µg/m3 concentration was recorded at A8 location which
is a remote rural area. The minimum concentration indicates that the residential area experiences
minimal combustion and vehicular activity. On the other hand high concentration at location A1
indicates that the area experiences high emissions from combustion of fossil fuel and vehicular
movement in the surroundings. The average 24 hourly concentration of PM2.5 during the study
period was computed to be in the range of 17.1 – 42.7 µg/m3.
Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
High level of SO2 in ambient air indicates the presence of combustion fossil fuel in the vicinity.
The ambient air monitoring results indicate that the highest average concentration of SO2 is
experienced at the project site, i.e. location A1. The constant traffic and regular movement of
heavy vehicles in and around the MIDC area and the sampling station can be considered as the
principle source of emission for SO2. The average concentration of SO2 recorded at all the
monitoring locations during the study period ranged between 10.2 µg/m3 & 28.4µg/m
3
respectively. It should be noted that maximum 24-hourly average concentration was recorded at

Executive Summary

location A1 while the lowest can be observed at location A8. The location A8 can be said to be
scarcely populated and is located near the reserved forest. Hence low levels of anthropogenic
activities and emissions are observed in the area.
Oxides of Nitrogen (NOX)
The various forms of Nitrogen in NO, NO2 and N2O are collectively called as Oxides of
Nitrogen. The highest value of 24-hourly average of NOX during the monitoring period was
observed at location A1 while the minimum average was recorded at A8. The average
concentrations were in the range of 16.5 – 39.4 µg/m3. The maximum 24 hourly value of NOX
was recorded at the monitoring location A1 (45.2 µg/m3) whereas the minimum concentration of
NOx was recorded at location A8 (14.6 µg/m3).

Carbon monoxide (CO)
The anthropogenic source of CO is due to incomplete combustion of fossil fuel (by
vehicle movement) or wood around the given area. The maximum 1 hourly average
concentration of CO estimated at all locations during the study period can be observed to be
within 0.09 to 2.3 mg/m3
respectively. The minimum 1 hourly concentration at all locations
ranged between 0.05 and 1.5 mg/m3. The highest average is calculated at location A1 and the
lowest average was estimated to be at location A8 in Nivi village.
Monitoring of Additional Parameters:
The monitoring for additional parameters in ambient air namely Ozone, Lead, Ammonia,
Arsenic, Nickel & Benzopyrene (a) was conducted within the project premises (A1 location).
The results for these parameters are presented in Table 3.6. It can be stated that concentration of
the aforesaid parameters was found to be below the detection limit.
The analysis of additional parameters monitored for ambient air quality at the location A1
reveals that the values did not exceed the limits prescribed by CPCB, during the sampling period.
The concentration of Ammonia varied between 23.3 to 34.8g/m3. The average concentration of
Ammonia was estimated to be 27.34g/m3. The values of Ground level ozone were estimated to
be within the range of 21.0 to 30.8g/m3. The average concentration was computed to be 26.4

g/m3. The presence of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and nickel were estimated to be
below the detectable limits and thus their presence can be said to be negligible.
Surface Water Environment
Based on the analysis results of water samples it can be stated that the pH of all the samples was
found to vary between: 6.9 - 7.7. It should be noted that the values obtained were within the
desirable limit for pH as prescribed by CPCB. The total hardness was observed to be ranging
between 167 to 766 mg/l. The maximum value of hardness was recorded at SW2 which is a
creek water location and the minimum value was recorded at SW8. The concentration of Total
Dissolved Solids was in the range of 186 mg/l to 2718 mg/l. The maximum concentration of
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) was observed at SW2 whereas the minimum TDS concentration
was observed at SW7. The large variation observed in the concentration of TDS can be said to be
present since the locations are varied ranging from river water body to lakes and creeks. The
Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) & Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD) values were
calculated to be in the range of 12 mg/l to 160 mg/l & 9.4 mg/l to 98.0 mg/l respectively. The
COD values at all the locations were well within the CPCB prescribed standards.
It should be noted that in case of the selected water bodies (sampling locations) classified under
category “E”, the parameters were found to be within the prescribed limits except for SW2 which
had a high value of TDS and chlorides. It should be noted that the sampling location is located
close to the junction where there is confluence of estuarine water and river water.
The locations SW3 to SW5 are categorized in category “B”. Out of the prescribed parameters,
for the category the limit for BOD can be observed to be exceeding at all the locations. The same
can be said in the case of Dissolved oxygen.
Based on the above results and inferences it can be stated that the water from the above water
bodies can be used for their designated purposes (outdoor) as per Inland Surface Water Standards
after disinfection and necessary treatment.

Ground Water Environment
The results reveal that the pH of all the ground water samples was within the acceptable limit of
the prescribed standards. It should be noted that the concentration of heavy metals like arsenic,
chromium, lead, mercury, nickel, cadmium & zinc were either not detected or were below the
prescribed standards. Iron was not detected in all the ground water samples. The hardness of all
the ground water samples was found to be ranging between 120-190 mg/lit which can be said to
close to the prescribed acceptable standards. It can be observed that the values for total dissolved
solids in all the sampling locations were estimated to be under the acceptable standards for
drinking water. The concentration of total dissolved solids ranged between 104-306 mg/lit. The
maximum concentration of was observed at location GW 1 whereas the minimum concentration
was observed at GW8.
It should be noted that the microbiological analysis of the samples indicate that e-coli was absent
in all the ground water samples.
Thus based on the above results it can be stated that the water from the said samples can be
considered fit for consumption and potable purpose with primary treatment. The water can be
used for domestic utilization and gardening without any treatment.
Noise Environment
Industrial Zone
The day time noise level at the project premises was observed to be 65 dB (A) while during night
time the noise level was recorded to be 52 dB (A). It should be noted that the noise levels during
the day time as well as night time were estimated to be under the prescribed standards by Central
Pollution Control Board.
Residential Zone

Chapter 1 – Introduction
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 1-5
Rapid urbanization and the increase in life standard of Indian middle class are expected to
lead the growth of FMCG products like soaps and washing powders etc. This in turn will
increase the local demand of AOPL’s products.
All products of company are synthetic versions of natural products e.g. methyl
anthranilate is found in grapes, jasmin flowers etc. Anthranlic acid is normal human
metabolite in the aromatic amino acid pathway. These have been established as safe non
hazardous products for living beings.
As all products manufactured by other units of the same company are export quality
products and have great demand. Being Food grade and non hazardous product, these
product manufacturing is safe and non hazardous.
This new setup will surely increase the production, thereby increasing export along with
support to Indian Economy. The current market demand is huge and AOPL is
contributing only 10 to 15% only. Because of this new unit the AOPL can achieve 30%
demand and thus 15% increase in foreign exchange will support and enhance the Indian
Economy.
These product manufacturing requires technical inputs because of high grade food quality
standards and also a huge investment for production. Hence Indian manufactures are
limited. AOPL has technical as well as financial strength. Also the Cliental base is good.
Hence such new unit will benefit the Indian manufacturer scenario of the country
worldwide.
Proposed project will also create direct & indirect employment opportunities for the local
peoples. Unit will use good faith efforts to employ local people from the nearby area
depending upon the availability of skilled & un-skilled man-power.
During operation phase, the proposed project would require significant workforce of non-
technical and technical persons.

CHAPTER 3: DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIROMENT
3.1 Methodology
In order to avail Environmental Clearance, methodology for EIA and Environmental Clearance
is necessary to be followed. The methodology for the same is presented in the Fig. 3.1 below.
The present section discusses about monitoring of prevailing environmental conditions such as
air quality, water quality, soil and noise pollution levels in the surroundings of the proposed
project site (study area) for duration of three months. The section also presents results of micro-
meteorological data along with analysis of air, noise, water and soil conditions. The Standard
Operating Procedures (SOPs) for the above mentioned functional areas applicable in the study
are followed from SEE-METH-EIA-02 to SEE-METH-EIA-06 as per the QMS of the
organization (SEEPL).
The meteorological conditions are capable to influence the formation and dispersion of pollutants
at local, regional, national as well as global scale. Moreover these meteorological conditions are
known to vary spatially and temporally. Thus, it is important to study the micro-meteorological
conditions around the study area in order to estimate their influence on formation and dispersion
of pollutants.
For the present study primary data for meteorological parameters was monitored during the
sampling period (three months) at the site and for reference a secondary data for a five year s
(2010-2014) was obtained from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD).
3.1.1 Secondary Data From IMD
As mentioned earlier the secondary data was obtained for selected parameters from the IMD
from Jan., 2010 to Dec., 2014. The parameters selected studies were Temperature, Ambient
Barometric Pressure, Relative Humidity, Wind speed, Wind direction and Precipitation (rainfall).

a. Temperature:
The available data helps to ascertain that the study area has characteristics of typical tropical site
having four distinct seasons. The summer season is followed with monsoon season which
provides moderate to heavy rainfall during June to September.
The winter season starts from December and lasts up to mid February. The minimum
temperature can be observed to drop down to 14 C. The maximum temperature of the winter
season is recorded to be 35.9 C in the month of December. The winter season ends in February
with the on-set of summer season which lasts till month of early June. During summer season
maximum temperature was recorded to be 36.1 C whereas the minimum ambient temperature
was observed to be 17.2 C. During monsoon season (June to September) maximum temperature

Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd Chapter 3- 5
b. Relative Humidity:
The presence of relative humidity indicates the level of water vapour in the atmosphere. From
the data it can be inferred that relative humidity was observed to lowest in winter season and
highest in the monsoon season. The highest average of relative humidity was observed to be up
to 98 % in the month of July & August.
c. Rainfall:
The months of July and August are considered to be the months which receive maximum rainfall
of the year. The data indicates that total rainfall received accounts to 2239mm. In rare cases
retreating precipitation from retreating monsoon winds can be observed in the month of
December.
d. Atmospheric Pressure:
The variation in pressure influences the vertical mixing of the air and thereby can be said to be
responsible for vertical as well as horizontal mixing pollutants present in the atmosphere. The
change in atmospheric pressure is experienced diurnally and seasonally which coincides with the
change in night and day time temperature. The maximum average atmospheric pressure is
experienced during the winter season while minimum average atmospheric pressure is
experienced in the rainy season during the months of June.
e. Wind direction and Wind speed:
The details of the secondary data for wind direction and wind speed for the year 2010-2014 are
presented in Table 3.2.
3.1.2 Site Specific Meteorological Data
Micro meteorological parameters like wind- speed, wind-direction, rainfall, temperature and
relative humidity were monitored continuously on hourly basis. In order to determine the
prevailing micro-meteorological conditions during the study period, an automatic weather
monitoring station was installed at the project site. The station was installed at a height of 10 m

above the ground level keeping in view the free exposure of sensors to atmosphere and minimum
interference from the nearby structures. The meteorological data was monitored for a period of 3
months from March to May, 2015. The variations in the meteorological data are presented in
Table 3.2.
Table 3.2 Site Specific Micro Meteorology Data (March to May, 2015)
Temperature
Temperature during the study period was found to vary from 14.1 0C to 38.2
0C during the study
period.
Relative Humidity
Relative humidity during the study period was found to be maximum 90 % & minimum 33 %
Wind Speed and Wind Direction
The wind rose diagram representing the summer season is shown in Fig 3.4. A review of wind
rose diagram shows that predominant winds are mostly from North-West to South-East. The
hourly minimum wind speed was recorded to be 0.5 Km/hr & maximum was observed around
21.0 Km/hr.
Interpretation:
It is known that wind speed and wind direction helps in dispersion of pollutants. Therefore in
order to predict the direction and extent of the dispersion, study of the meteorology is very
important. With this understanding Windrose diagrams for annual data (5 Years) & sampling
period (Mar to May, 2015) have been plotted using secondary data obtained from Indian
Meteorological Department (IMD).

Chapter 3 – Description of the Environment
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd Chapter 3- 7
The wind rose prepared from secondary data as per the sampling period of March to May,
indicates that 50% of the time, wind was observed to be blowing from North-West direction.
At the same time the Windrose diagram based on primary data (for the monitoring
period) indicates that around 40% of the time the wind can be observed to be blowing from the
same direction.
For determining the sampling locations of air quality monitoring it is important to
understand the distribution of wind direction during the monitoring period, i.e. during the months
of March to May. According to the interpretation of the secondary data for meteorology it is
concluded that the prominent downwind direction is towards the South east.
Comments:
The collected secondary data and the primary data have been compared and analyzed to verify
the quality of the data. The comparison of the secondary meteorological data (for Jan to Dec,
2010-2014) with the primary data monitored at site is summarized as under:
Minimal variation in the values is observed in the two data sets for temperature.
The data recorded for relative humidity was observed to differ marginally.
It can be inferred from the above data that the pre-dominant wind direction during the
monitoring period is similar in the secondary as well as primary data collected from the
monitoring station.

3.2.5. Interpretation of Primary Data
PM10
The study reveals that maximum concentration on 24-hourly basis was observed to be in the
range of 49.6 & 75.2 µg/m3. The highest 24-hourly concentration was recorded at sampling
location A1. At the same time minimum average 24-hourly concentration was observed at
location A8. The average concentration of PM10 can be said to be ranged between 44.4µg/m3 to
74.1µg/m3. The high concentration of particulate matter recorded at project site (A1) may be due
to industrial emissions and vehicular traffic flow in the MIDC area.
PM2.5
The major source of PM2.5 is said to be the combustion of fossil fuel, fire wood etc. The
maximum 24 hourly concentration of PM2.5 (45.4 µg/m3) during the study period was recorded at
location A1, whereas the minimum 15.4 µg/m3 concentration was recorded at A8 location which
is a remote rural area. The minimum concentration indicates that the residential area experiences
minimal combustion and vehicular activity. On the other hand high concentration at location A1
indicates that the area experiences high emissions from combustion of fossil fuel and vehicular
movement in the surroundings. The average 24 hourly concentration of PM2.5 during the study
period was computed to be in the range of 17.1 – 42.7 µg/m3.
Sulphur dioxide (SO2)
High level of SO2 in ambient air indicates the presence of combustion fossil fuel in the vicinity.
The ambient air monitoring results indicate that the highest average concentration of SO2 is
experienced at the project site, i.e. location A1. The constant traffic and regular movement of
heavy vehicles in and around the MIDC area and the sampling station can be considered as the
principle source of emission for SO2. The average concentration of SO2 recorded at all the
monitoring locations during the study period ranged between 10.2 µg/m3 & 28.4µg/m
3
respectively. It should be noted that maximum 24-hourly average concentration was recorded at
location A1 while the lowest can be observed at location A8. The location A8 can be said to be

The various forms of Nitrogen in NO, NO2 and N2O are collectively called as Oxides of
Nitrogen. The highest value of 24-hourly average of NOX during the monitoring period was
observed at location A1 while the minimum average was recorded at A8. The average
concentrations were in the range of 16.5 – 39.4 µg/m3. The maximum 24 hourly value of NOX
was recorded at the monitoring location A1 (45.2 µg/m3) whereas the minimum concentration of
NOx was recorded at location A8 (14.6 µg/m3).
Carbon monoxide (CO)
The anthropogenic source of CO is due to incomplete combustion of fossil fuel (by
vehicle movement) or wood around the given area. The maximum 1 hourly average
concentration of CO estimated at all locations during the study period can be observed to be
within 0.09 to 2.3 mg/m3
respectively. The minimum 1 hourly concentration at all locations
ranged between 0.05 and 1.5 mg/m3. The highest average is calculated at location A1 and the
lowest average was estimated to be at location A8 in Nivi village.
Monitoring of Additional Parameters:
The monitoring for additional parameters in ambient air namely Ozone, Lead, Ammonia,
Arsenic, Nickel & Benzopyrene (a) was conducted within the project premises (A1 location).
The results for these parameters are presented in Table 3.6. It can be stated that concentration of
the aforesaid parameters was found to be below the detection limit.
The analysis of additional parameters monitored for ambient air quality at the location A1
reveals that the values did not exceed the limits prescribed by CPCB, during the sampling period.
The concentration of Ammonia varied between 23.3 to 34.8g/m3. The average concentration of
Ammonia was estimated to be 27.34g/m3. The values of Ground level ozone were estimated to
be within the range of 21.0 to 30.8g/m3. The average concentration was computed to be 26.4

g/m3. The presence of heavy metals such as lead, arsenic and nickel were estimated to be
below the detectable limits and thus their presence can be said to be negligible.
Table 3.6 Results of Additional Air Quality Parameters at Project Site
Conclusion: The analysis and observations indicate that levels of pollutants were found to be
within the standards prescribed by the CPCB. It important to state that there is negligible degree
of variation in the 98th
Percentile values compared to the maximum values at all the sampling
locations. This indicates that the data is statistically normal distribution. The high concentration
of pollution in the location A1 can be said to due to the fact that it is located in the MIDC area
which experiences emissions from industrial processes and also due to vehicular activity in and
around the monitoring locations. The lowest level of pollution is experienced at location A8. The
lowest level of pollution is experienced in the locations which are located near the reserved
forest areas and having minimal anthropogenic activity.
It is noteworthy to mention that the parameters monitored were found to be within the prescribed
standards by the CPCB.

project site. Apart from this the study area has presence of reservoirs, lakes, located within the
10km. radius or the study area. The primary surface water body in the study area is Kundalika
River draining into the Arabian Sea. The sampling locations for the water bodies were finalized
after reconnaissance survey and consultation with the functional area experts from the respective
areas.
3.3.2. Probable sources of surface water pollution in the study area
The Kundalika River Stretch in the study area is subjected to industrial and domestic
discharges from the Dhatav MIDC area. It is to be noted that the river stretch is also subjected to
discharge of domestic effluent from the residential area of Roha and surrounding villages.

3.3.6. Interpretation
The results of the surface water analysis are discussed in the section. The values obtained are
compared with the standards prescribed for the respective designated use of the water body as
categorized in the earlier part of the study.
Based on the analysis results of water samples it can be stated that the pH of all the samples was
found to vary between: 6.9 - 7.7. It should be noted that the values obtained were within the desirable
limit for pH as prescribed by CPCB. The total hardness was observed to be ranging between 167 to
766 mg/l. The maximum value of hardness was recorded at SW2 which is a creek water location and
the minimum value was recorded at SW8. The concentration of Total Dissolved Solids was in the
range of 186 mg/l to 2718 mg/l. The maximum concentration of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) was
observed at SW2 whereas the minimum TDS concentration was observed at SW7. The large variation
observed in the concentration of TDS can be said to be present since the locations are varied ranging
from river water body to lakes and creeks. The Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) & Biochemical
Oxygen Demand (BOD) values were calculated to be in the range of 12 mg/l to 160 mg/l & 9.4 mg/l
to 98.0 mg/l respectively. The COD values at all the locations were well within the CPCB prescribed
standards.
It should be noted that in case of the selected water bodies (sampling locations) classified under
category “E”, the parameters were found to be within the prescribed limits except for SW2 which had
a high value of TDS and chlorides. It should be noted that the sampling location is located close to
the junction where there is confluence of estuarine water and river water.
The locations SW3 to SW5 are categorized in category “B”. Out of the prescribed parameters, for the
category the limit for BOD can be observed to be exceeding at all the locations. The same can be said
in the case of Dissolved oxygen.

3.4. Ground Water Quality
3.4.1. Ground water sources in the study area
Although, fresh water is supplied by the pipeline in the Roha city, ground water is used as an
alternate source in surrounding villages for drinking and domestic purposes. Therefore it is
important to assess the existing baseline status of the ground water quality.
3.4.2. Probable sources of ground water pollution in the study area
Uncontrolled discharge of treated and/or untreated industrial effluent, open discharge of treated
and/or untreated sewerage can be one of the principle sources of ground water pollution in the
area. Apart from the above ground water can be polluted by other activities such as excessive use
of chemical fertilizers in farming, leaching from landfills having toxic or municipal solid waste,
etc.
3.4.3. Sampling Details
The section discusses regarding the sampling related procedures, methodologies and parameters
selected for analysis. The section also highlights the criteria adopted for selection of ground
water sampling locations. The selected sampling locations and their coordinates are presented in

As per the Standard ToR sampling was decided to be carried out at 8 locations. The water quality
monitoring network of was designed with the intention to evaluate the prevailing ground water
quality in the study area. The sampling frequency was once in as season (study period – March to
May, 2015). The details of the methodology for ground water sampling is provided in Table No.
3.12
3.4.4. Selection criteria for water quality sampling locations
The sampling sites were selected considering the following criteria -
1. Drainage Pattern.
2. Areas which may be affected due to the proposed activity.
3. Any probable locations with open discharge of sewage or waste water.
4. Location of any solid waste dumping facility in the vicinity of the project site.
Apart from this in cases where the sampling locations are situated close to MIDC areas, ground
water pollution can be said to be affected by underground (illegal) discharging of waste water by
the industrial units. If any such cases are reported then sampling is conducted in the surrounding
area.
Based on the above criteria eight sampling locations were selected for the present study.
These locations are marked on Google Earth Imagery in Fig. 3.9 and SOI map in 3.10.
The results for analysis conducted are presented in Table 3.12. These results are compared
with the drinking water standards provided by IS (Table 3.14).
The aspects related to Sample Collection, Preservation and Transportation are described in
detail in the above section 3.3.5.

3.5. Noise Level Monitoring
Noise level pollution in the rural or urban areas is of great concern. It is known that high and
prolonged or continuous exposure to noise levels leads to deleterious effects on the humans,
plants and animals. Monitoring of Noise level provides an insight pertaining to the prevailing
conditions of noise in the surrounding areas. This data can considered as a baseline data for a
given area. Noise levels monitored help in deciding the control strategies abatement of noise
pollution.
3.5.1. Noise generation sources in the study area
It should be noted that the present proposed project site is located in the notified industrial area,
the primary sources of noise generation in the study area can be said to be the industrial activities
carried out in the surroundings. Other sources contributing to high noise levels can be the
movement of heavy vehicles in the nearby areas. Apart from the heavy vehicles, the number of
public and private vehicles plying in the region can be a source of noise pollution.
3.5.2. Monitoring Details
Noise monitoring was carried out as per the Central Pollution Control Board guidelines on 24-
hourly basis at 8 locations in 10 km radius of the study area. Monitoring was carried out on
weekly basis (once in a week). The locations were decided as per the guidance of the Functional
Area Experts and are presented in Fig.3.11 on Google Earth Image and 3.12 on SOI maps . The
noise levels monitored were grouped into day and night time noise levels. The day time is
considered to be during 6 am to 10 pm and night noise time is considered between 10 pm to 6 am
at all the locations in the study area. The noise monitoring was carried out by a precision
integrated noise meter of baseline technology Model No. 2511. It should be noted that location
A1 is situated in the industrial area while rest of the locations are categorized into sensitive and
residential areas. The standards used for comparison of the noise levels are therefore used as per

The findings of the study reveal that pH of the soil in the study area ranged between 7.0 – 7.8
which is an indicative of the neutral to moderately alkaline nature of soil. The values for
Nitrogen at all locations varied between 33 to 78 kg/ha. Maximum concentration of nitrogen was
observed at location S6.
The concentration of phosphate was estimated to be between 121 to 181 kg/ha. The highest
concentration can be observed at location S8, while the lowest concentration can be observed at
location S3.
It is important to note that the concentration of potassium was found to be high at all locations
ranging between 306 to 501 kg/ha.
Based on the above findings it can be concluded that the soil samples can be classified as per soil
classification given by Tondon H.L.S. (2005). The samples fall under low to medium fertile soils
(Table 3.20 and table 3.21). The presence of heavy metals like arsenic, cadmium, lead &
chromium in both the soil samples were below the detection limit.

3.7.Geology & Hydrogeology of the study area
The entire district is covered by basaltic lava flows known as “Deccan Traps”. These Deccan
Traps are capped by latterites. The Recent, Sub-Recent and Pleistocene latterites are observed
within the study area. Geologically Konkan lowland is a platform of marine denuation raised to
form a narrow plain.
The steep scarps facing the coast and some-what gentle slopes towards the east believed to be
due to extensive faulting of the Ghat-region. The geology of entire study area is consist of dark
basalt and latterite. These are spread out in the form of horizontal sheets and beds and have
innumerable spurs, hills, ridges, peaks and plateau.
The district is drained by short westwards flowing parallel streams, which originate in the
Sahyadri Mountains in the east and flow into the Arabian Sea. Ulhas, Patalganga, Amba,
Kundlika, Savitri, Kal, Gandhari and Ghod are the major rivers in the district. The district has
experienced hot and humid climate.

formation of the district. The basalts are usually dark grey to grey in color and are hard compact
and tough and fine to medium grained structure. Deccan Trap rock which is completely
impervious to percolation, these causing an accuse shortage of water in summer. Beds of laterite
can be said to be, usually formed by mechanical and chemical disintegration brought by
atmospheric agencies on the underlying trap, cap of several picks and lofty ridges in the district.
The types of rocks present in the Raigad region can be highlighted as under:
Deccan Trap Basalt
Ground water in Deccan Trap Basalt occurs mostly in the upper weathered and fractured parts
down to 10 – 15 m bgl under unconfined condition. The water bearing strata at deeper depth
exists under semi confined to confined conditions. The dugwells in these areas show rapid
decline in water level during post-monsoon period and practically go dry in peak summer. In foot
hill zones the water table is relatively shallower near water course. The yield of dugwells tapping
upper phreatic aquifer ranges between 45 to 60 m3/day, whereas that of borewells varies from
0.50 to > 20 m3/hr. depending upon the loc
Beach Sand/Alluvium
The Alluvial deposits are found along the coastal areas in few isolated patches having limited
areal extent as Beach Sand and along the course of major rivers. In the alluvial deposits, primary
porosity is due to the inter-granular pore spaces making sands and gravels good water bearing
formations. The ground water occurs under phreatic/unconfined aquifer at relatively shallow
depths of 3-5 m and their yield ranges from about 18 to 43 m3/hr.

Interpretation
It can be observed that the TS 3. The reason behind this can be said to be that the location TS 3
lies in the centre of Location TS 2 and TS 4. Thus it experiences vehicular traffic from both the
directions. The lowest traffic in terms of PCUS is observed near TS1 which is situated inside the
MIDC premises near to the proposed project site. Minimum traffic density is also observed near
TS1 during evening as well as morning peak hours.
3.8.7.2. Increased traffic scenario due to proposed project
The proposed project intends to engage trucks/tempos for the purpose of transportation of raw
materials as well as finished goods. Along with this the vehicles from the employees hired are

also expected to increase. It is estimated that the proposed activity will lead to increase addition
of 3 trucks/tempos per week to the project site.
The transportation activity will mainly take place by Kolad-Roha from which further access to
MIDC will be achieved. It should be noted that the same route will be utilized for exit as there no
separate road available. As an initiative for efficient traffic management the project proponent
will ensure that transportation activity will be carried out mainly after 10 AM in order to avoid
peak hour traffic. However to assess the increased traffic scenario due to the proposed project
the increased fleet vehicles has been considered. It is estimated that due to the proposed project
the increase in traffic would be 35 PCUs (Table 3.25).

3.9.Land use Pattern
The prevailing Land Use & Land Cover (LULC) pattern in the 10 km radial study area are
assessed based on remote sensing technique using satellite imagery.
The interpretation of satellite image was done in succession stages as described below:
i) Visual Interpretation:
The land use/ land cover classes were established by processing the satellite imagery by using
image processing software to obtain various land use land cover classless & analyzing the
resultant output based on image characteristics/elements such as Color, Tone, Texture, Pattern,
Size, Shape, Association etc.
ii) Ground Truth Survey
Ground truth verification of the doubtful elements/classes encountered during the visual analysis
& interpretations were confirmed by deploying ground truth survey & the findings of the same
were incorporated during finalizing the LULC map of the study area. The LULC map of the
study area is shown in the following figure.

3.10.2 Primary Baseline Data
General features of the prevailing Terrestrial Ecosystem in study area
The 10 km radial study area viz. Dhatav MIDC & surrounding area comes under the jurisdiction
of Roha Municipal Council. The study area visited was a region characterized by hills & hillocks
which are mainly extensions to the foothills of Shayadri ranges along the western slope. As
observed during the reconnaissance survey major part of the inner 5 km study area was an
undulating terrain wherein the Dhatav MIDC area situated on a strip of flat land along the
southern bank of the Kundalika River, along with hosting the industrial cluster the inner 5 km
study area was subjected other developmental activities by virtue of Roha City & several other
villages. The inner 5 km study area had tremendous presence of small agricultural lands. The
prominent vegetation existed along the east-west running Pallekhurdh to Bhuwaneshwar hillocks
& along the hillock located north of Udadavane Village which are patches of Reserve Forest.
The major part of the outer 5 km radial study area was also a hilly tract with uniform cover of
vegetation along the northerly & southerly located hills as Reserve Forest. The observed
vegetation in the study area was of Southern Tropical Dry Deciduous forest type as found across
the entire range in the Raigad District.

General features of the prevailing Aquatic Ecosystem in study area
The aquatic system in the study area is largely represented by the westerly meandering
Kundalika River which moreover flows through the central part of the study area from Dolwahal
village located in east up to Zolambe village in west is a tidal river draining into Arabain Sea at
Revdanda & prevails estuarine environment up to Roha. Dense mangroves extend from the
mouth of the estuary to 24 km inland and also within the study area. The Kundalika River is also
marked by presence unevenly distributed islands & tidal flats along the tidal stretch of the river.
Apart from the said river only few artificial surface water bodies are present near Usar village in
the study area.
Note: Since any of the project related activities during commissioning & operation phase will not
be associated with the prevailing surface water bodies in the study area in terms of withdrawal or
disposal/discharge hence no impact is envisaged on the water bodies so the studies pertaining to
aquatic ecology such as Plankton, Chlorophyll, Benthos, Fisheries etc. have been kept out the
purview of this study.

Chapter 4 – Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Classifying the sources, estimating the quantity of pollutant, impact of pollution & mitigating
them is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment process. This
chapter quantifies the environmental impacts of project related activities on various receptors of
environment.
The predictions estimated are superimposed on the baseline value for achieving the resultant
value which signifies the overall impact. It also suggests the various mitigation measures which
can be advocated to minimize the adverse impacts of the project activity.
4.1 Air Environment
4.1.1 Construction Phase:
4.1.1.1 Identification of Source
Company will utilize the existing infrastructure for proposed production activity; only minor
construction activity like construction/up gradation of ETP, internal roads, and installation of
new stacks, FO tank & development of parking area will be done. During these minor
construction activities site clearance, wind erosion, stockpiling & material handling dust
nuisance are the major sources of air pollution. SO2 & NOx will be emitted from the diesel
powered mechanical equipment. However the number of such equipments will be limited. It is
therefore not expected to cause an exceedance to the NAAQ limit.
4.1.1.2 Predicted Impact
Dust emissions generally differ from day to day, depending on the level of activity, the specific
operation and the prevailing meteorological conditions. Therefore for predicting the quantitative
value of TSPM that would be generated due to the construction activity an emission factor from
AP-42 Section 13.2.3.1 (U.S.EPA,1995) has been used. The emission factor is E = 1.2

with a) medium activity level, b) moderate silt contents and 3) semi-arid climate.
The total built-up area of the unit will 4688.38 sq.m., since the existing building will be utilized
for proposed activity, only upgradation of ETP , paving of internal roads, development of
parking zone & installation of FO tank will be done. The total area under construction would be
around 250 Sq.m. The construction activity will not take place simultaneously on the entire
allotted plot. Also, the construction activity is assumed to be carried out for all 30 days of the
month (24 Hours). Hence, the estimated value will be conservatively high for TSPM for worst
case scenario. The emission would be around 0.075 tons/month of the activity. But the emission
would be reduced to around 90 to 95 % as control measures will be adopted.
There would be around 15 temporary workers appointed for construction activity who may be
affected by the dust pollution. Workers getting exposed to the dust generated due to the
construction activity can suffer from respiratory problems and prolonged exposure to dusty
environment can lead to malfunctioning of lungs.
4.1.1.3 Mitigation Measures
Control measures like temporary wind barrier, proper traffic management during loading and
unloading of the construction materials, regular sprinkling of water on the working site,
Avoiding Cement dust emission, Managing stockpiles (sand, gravel) by using water sprays
(when emptying cement bags into mixer) will be implemented to ensure minimum dust
generation.
4.1.2 Operational phase:
4.1.2.1 Identification of Sources
For operational phase of the proposed project, stack attached to boiler is identified as point
source of emission. Two boilers of 1000 kg/Hr & Three boilers of 800 kg/hr capacity having

furnace oil as fuel will be utilized. Two separate stacks of 32.6 meter & 31 meter height will be
provided for 3 X 800 kg/hr capacity boilers and 2 X 1000 kg/hr capacity boilers respectively.
Gases generated from manufacturing activity i.e. CO2 & Chlorine gas from tonner area will be
subjected to individual alkali scrubber of 1000 CFM capacity. The scrubbed gasses will be
released through scrubber stack of height 11 m which is a nominal source of air emission.
One of the major sources of fugitive emission generation can be due to the handling and storage
activity of the solvents, raw materials from the raw material storage area of the company
premises. Company will provide tanks for methanol storage, while remaining solvents will be
stored in drums at raw material storage area. The sources of VOC emissions from the project
would be from the storage area due to handling & operating the solvent drums, loading
unloading of solvents, tonners etc. The vehicle used for transporting the raw materials & finished
products also contributes to the dust generation & emissions of gases like NOx due to fossil fuel
burning.
4.1.2.2 Prediction of Impacts
For the quantitative impact analysis on the air quality due to the proposed project, air dispersion
modeling is performed. The criteria pollutants like PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx & CO generated from
operation of steam boiler were considered for air modeling. Aermod 8.2 developed by USEPA
and authorized by CPCB is used for air modeling simulation which is based on the steady state
Gaussian plume equation.
4.1.2.2.1 Model Options Used for Computation
The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always limited to that
of the mixing layer;
Stack tip down-wash is not considered;
Point Source Modeling is considered;

Calms processing routine is used by default;
Wind profile exponents is used by default;
Flat terrain is used for computations;
It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physico-chemical transformation and
that there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;
Washout by rain is not considered; and
Cartesian co-ordinate system has been used for computations.
Uniform polar receptor grid is used. The grid consists of 180 receptors each assumed to
be at ground level.
4.1.2.2.2 Modeling Procedure
The prediction of the Ground Level Concentrations (GLC’s) due to activity has been computed
by AERMOD version 8.2 as per CPCB guidelines. While performing the model the rural
dispersion and regulatory defaults options were selected as per guidelines on air quality models
(PROBES/70/1997-1998).
4.1.2.2.3 Meteorological Data Processing
The surface synoptic meteorological data of Raigad District for the year 2010-2014 were
obtained from the Indian Meteorological Department, Mumbai. The meteorological observation
station of IMD for Raigad District is located at Alibaug. The quality assurance process was
undertaken as required by the EPA (EPA-454/R-99-005) to identify and fill the missing data for
preparation of hourly surface meteorological data. The surface and profile met data were
prepared for use in AERMOD using the AERMET meteorological data preprocessor of Lakes
Environmental. Processing the surface file indicated more than 90 % data availability. Onsite

The total workers in the factory premises will be around 105 Nos. who may be affected due to
the unscientific operation of boilers. Mostly the health effects associated with particulate matter
are respiratory, pulmonary injury, lung cancer etc. Exposure to SO2 and NOx also lead to
respiratory problems. Carbon monoxide decreases the oxygen carrying capacity of blood by

reducing the hemoglobin. CO2 is a green house gas which can lead to the global warming &
Chlorine gas at high concentration is a poisonous gas. Since the company is handling some
highly volatile solvents the VOC emission can have an adverse affect on the workers health if
present in higher concentration. The health effects related to VOC emission are eye, nose and
throat irritation headaches, loss of coordination and nausea, damage to liver, kidney and central
nervous system etc. The air emissions in long course of time may affect the immediate
surrounding vegetation stature physically (leaf senescence, hampered growth etc.) & biologically
thus may affect the overall surrounding ecology.
The incremental values at various monitoring stations were predicted and integrated with the
baseline value for PM10, PM 2.5, SO2, NOx & CO is tabulated in the below table no 4.3. The

Interpretation
The incremental value of the specific pollutant at the particular monitoring station is added to the
baseline value of that specific pollutant measured during the monitoring period of the project.
The resultant value thus calculated used for predicting the impacts of the proposed project on the
air environment in the study area.
The resultant value for all the locations are well within the prescribed limit of NAAQS, hence
due to the proposed project activity significant adverse impact is not envisaged.
4.2.2.2.5 Impact of transport of raw materials and end products on the surrounding
environment.
In most cases, transport of raw materials, general supplies and final products causes an increase
in traffic around the facility. Nearly 3 trucks per week would be used for transportation of raw
materials and final product. Transportation and environment are paradoxical in nature. As the
transportation conveys substantial socioeconomic benefits, but at the same time transportation is
impacting environmental systems.
Planning Transport development:
The transportation of the raw materials and final product will be done mostly by road followed
by shipping for the materials which are to be exported or imported. Road transportation would be
the most feasible option available for the project proponent as it will be the least expensive in
terms of investment, maintenance and security.
Construction of transport infrastructures:
The project is located in notified Dhatav MIDC area hence the existing transport infrastructures
such as MIDC roads & city roads around the project will be utilized.

Chapter 4 – Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 4-10
Maintenance and operation of transport infrastructures:
Maintenance & operation of the transport infrastructure would be carried out by the MIDC/Local
Administration. Facilities like street lighting, traffic management in the peak hours and
maintenance of the road will be taken care by the MIDC/Local Administration.
Use of transport infrastructures and vehicle maintenance:
The transportation of raw hazardous, flammable and toxic materials (Raw materials & Products)
would be done according to the rule of Central Motor Vehicle Rule, (CMVR) 1989.
Transportation of material carrying vehicles will mainly take place through National Highway
No.66 which is located towards the east side of the company.
4.2.2.3 Mitigation Measures
The prominent pollutants like PM10, PM2.5, SO2 ,NOx & CO will be generated due to the fuel
combustion for operation of Boilers. The mitigation measure that will be adopted is providing an
appropriate stack height for dispersion of pollutants. The stack height calculation is shown
below,
1 ) Boiler (800 kg/hr X 3 Nos.)- Stack No.1
The stack height is calculated by using the formula:
H=14(Q) 0.3
Where,
H= Stack height
Q= Emission rate for SO2 (Kg/hr)
Now,
FO consumption = 3.85 KL/D
= 3850 L/D
= 186.7 kg/hr (Considering 24 Hrs of Boiler Operation)
The Sulphur content of FO is 4.5%
Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Proposed Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing unit of M/s Ambernath Organics Pvt. Ltd. Located at Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Raigad, Maharashtra. SEEPL/EIA/F/IND/AOPL/001/2016-17/01
Chapter 4 – Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 4-11
Hence 62.25 kg FO will contain 8.40 kg Sulphur
Now stoichiometric conversion of Sulphur to SO2= 8.40* 2 = 16.8
H= 14*(16.8)0.3
= 32.6 m. (Reference CPCB Guidelines)
2) Boiler (1000 kg/hr X 2 Nos.)- Stack No.2 The stack height is calculated by using the formula:
H=14(Q) 0.3
Where,
H= Stack height
Q= Emission rate for SO2 (Kg/hr)
Now,
FO consumption = 3.25 KL/D
= 3250 L/D
= 157.4 kg/hr (Considering 24 Hrs of Boiler Operation)
The Sulphur content of FO is 4.5%
Hence 157.4 kg FO will contain 7.08 kg Sulphur
Now stoichiometric conversion of Sulphur to SO2= 7.08* 2 = 14.16
H= 14*(14.16)0.3
= 31 m. (Reference CPCB Guidelines)
As per above calculation stack with sufficient height will be provided.
As per the CPCB guideline the stack height estimated for Boilers of 800kg /Hr X 3 Nos & 1000
kg/Hr X 2 Nos is 33 m and 31 m respectively.
Hence the proposed common stacks for boiler is appropriate for dispersion of the pollutants as
per the CPCB guidelines.

Chapter 4 – Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 4-12
For dealing with process emissions i.e. CO2 gas and chlorine traces, 2
Nos of Alkali Scrubbers will be provided. Packed bed scrubbers will
be installed. Two alkali scrubbers are sufficient to mitigate the
emissions due to proposed production activity. Certain measures can
be established to reduce the VOC emission in the plant premises like
carbon adsorption systems, design changes, operation and
maintenance controls as leak prevention etc. Control measures for
dust emission control. The following measures will be adopted for
controlling the fugitive dust emission in the plan premises,
The roads within the premises shall be sprinkled with water at
a regular interval to avoid the dust generation.
To be ensured that all transportation vehicles carry a valid PUC (Pollution under Control)
Certificate.
Proper servicing & maintenance of vehicles is being carried out.
Adequate green belt >33% of total open area as per MPCB shall be developed in the
project plot. Green belt act as surface for settling of dust particle and thus will reduce the
particulate matter in air.
Ambient air quality shall be regularly monitored to ensure the air pollution devices are
working efficiently.
From the above, it can be concluded that after the operation of the project and implementation of
mitigation measures in an appropriate manner, the Ambient Air Quality will not exceed NAAQ
Standards.

4.3 Water Environment
4.3.1 Construction Phase
4.3.1.1 Probable Source
The proposed project is not surrounded by any water body. The activities like restructure of
existing building, ETP, Parking zone and internal road construction involve high amount of
water consumption. The water consumed will be supplied by the MIDC. If required, water
tankers will be provided during construction activities. Beside that water will be consumed by
the workers at a site. Around 15 workers will be deployed for construction work at a time.
According to the NBC (National Building Code of India) 45 lit /d/per person is considered for
water consumption as domestic part i.e., 0.7 CMD.
4.2.1.2 Impact predicted
Runoff from construction area may contain increased loads of suspended solids (SS) and
contaminants. The sewage wastewater is characterized by high level of biochemical oxygen
demand, ammonia & E-coli counts. Therefore exposure of such runoffs to the water bodies will
have a significant negative impact on the water quality. Since the water requirement during
construction phase will be extremely minimal & construction activity being project plot specific
does not involve release/discharge of water outside the plant premises. Hence minimal impact is
envisaged on the prevailing water quality in the study area.
4.2.1.3 Proposed Mitigation
It is important that appropriate measures are implemented to control the runoff & drainage water
from entering the nearby water courses.
Construction runoff and drainage: MIDC drainage line is provided along with building.
Proper site management is essential to minimize the surface water runoff & soil erosion. Good

housekeeping should be practiced like handling & disposing of solid waste i.e. debris & rubbish
to enter from the drainage column.
Sewage effluents generated from the construction workforce: The existing sewer facility
will be utilized by the temporary construction workforce or mobile toilets will get arranged for
workers.
4.2.2 Operational Phase
4.2.2.1 Probable Source
During operational phase of the company maximum waste water generation will be mainly
through domestic activity, manufacturing process, scrubbers and utilities. The water supply
demand of the company will be fulfilled by Dhatav MIDC.
The effluent generation from overall activity of the unit will be segregated into HCOD/HTDS &
LCOD/LTDS effluent. The entire effluent from manufacturing process & scrubber will be
considered as HCOD/HTDS effluent & LCOD/LTDS effluent from domestic and utilities.
Company will provide individual reactors for each product; therefore effluent from reactor
washing is not envisaged. Water balance of proposed project is depicted in below table no 4.4

Effluent Streams
During operational phase of the project the total effluent generation would be around 191.12
CMD.
1) HCOD/HTDS stream: All effluent from manufacturing process including scrubber i.e.
157.9 CMD will be treated as LCOD/HTDS effluent in MEE with ATFD after giving
primary treatment to it. The condensate from the MEE units will be directly recycled in
plant, while the salts from the MEE will be sodium salts which will be sold to the brine
manufacturer.
2) LCOD/LTDS streams : 5.42 CMD as Boiler blow down effluent + 23.8 CMD as
Cooling tower blow down effluent + 4 CMD as domestic effluent = 33.22 CMD. The
sum of 33.22 CMD effluent will be subjected to ETP of 35 CMD capacity.
3) 33.22 CMD after 12% ETP treatment losses, 29.3 CMD treated waste water will be
recycled within plant.
Reuse and Recycle of treated waste water – The project will be Zero Liquid Discharge
project.
1) The boiler condensate would be recovered to the extent of 38 % i.e. 41.99 CMD. The
condensate water will be recycled for Boiler Make up water.
2) The condensate from MEE units i.e. 141.3 CMD will entirely utilize as cooling tower and
boiler makeup water. Since the effluent from manufacturing process will contain Sodium
Chloride. The condensate from MEE unit will be fit to recycle in plant as Boiler and
cooling tower water feed.
3) Treated LCOD/ LTDS effluent i.e. 29.3 CMD will be utilized for gardening, domestic
activity and as feed for cooling tower.
4) By recycling all treated effluent company will achieve Zero Liquid Discharge.

5) After the maximum recycle and reuse of treated wastewater the overall water
consumption will reduce to 391.26 – 41.99 – 170.6 = 178.67 CMD. Around 54.3 % water
reductions is observed in dry season.
6) During the wet season 14 KL of fresh water from rain water harvesting tank will be reuse
for Boiler and Cooling tower makeup.
7) During wet season, water consumption for gardening will be NIL. While, by recycling
the condensate from boiler & utilization of harvested rain water & reuse of treated
wastewater the total fresh water requirement from MIDC will further get reduced by
57.9% in the wet season.

4.4.2.2 Impact predicted
The wastewater generated from the project activity if discharged to the Common Effluent
Treatment Plant (CETP) without prior in-situ treatment, it can cause the breakdown of the
common effluent treatment plant as it will contain high COD/ TDS concentrations. Also if the
untreated waste water is by passed to the MIDC drains it will results in the contamination or
polluting the water body at final discharge point. The prolonged unscientific discharge of the
untreated waste water would lead to the contamination of the nearby surface water bodies, soil in
the near vicinity, ultimately resulting in polluting the underground water table reserve through
percolation from soil. The release of untreated effluent will ultimately affect the overall ecology
& agricultural productivity in the surrounding area.

4.4.2.3 Proposed Mitigation
The effluent loads generated are segregated into two broad streams,
1) HCOD/HTDS effluent from manufacturing process & scrubbers will contain salt
containing water, product wash water. The HCOD/HTDS effluent will contain 10 %
NaCl salts & 1.3% COD concentration. Hence it would be subjected to primary treatment
with Fe Treatment for removal of COD followed by MEE with ATFD for salt removal.
The condensate from MEE will be free from salts and COD causing chemicals, hence it
will directly utilize as boiler feed and cooling tower make up water.
2) LCOD/LTDS streams will contain blowdowns from Cooling tower and Boiler, which
will be subjected to full-fledged ETP comprises of Primary, Aerobic Secondary and
Tertiary treatment facility. The domestic sewage will be added into aeration tank of
secondary treatment facility. Since the company will be ZLD project all treated effluent
will be utilized within plant for domestic activity, gardening and cooling tower water
makeup.

Low streams of effluent.
Company proposed to give separate treatment to HCOD/HTDS & LCOD/LTDS effluent. The

4.2.3 Water quality modeling
The project will be operated as Zero Liquid Discharge project. As it is evident that the
wastewater generated will not be discharged into any river/water channel/surface water body, the
water quality modeling is not mandatory for this project as per the Model TOR prescribed by
MoEF & CC.
4.3 Noise Environment
4.3.1 Construction Phase
4.3.1.1 Probable Sources
The dominant source of noise from the construction equipments is the engine, usually a diesel,
without sufficient muffling. The activities like pile driving or pavement breaking are other
dominant source of noise generated during construction which is not envisaged for the said
project as there will be no major civil or foundation work. Consideration of probable sources, for
the current scenario can be in two modes, stationary and mobile. Stationary equipment operates
in one location for one or more days at a time with either a fixed power operation (pumps,
generators). Mobile equipment moves around the construction site with power applied in cyclic
fashion such as trucks moving to and fro from the site. The time varying noise level which are
converted into a single number for stationary & mobile sources are taken from the EPA report
which are depicted in the below table.

4.3.1.2 Impact Prediction
Construction activities are characterized by variation in power expended by equipment, with
resulting variation in noise levels with time. Variation in the power is expressed in terms of the
usage factor of the equipment, the percentage of time during the workday that the equipment is
operating at full power. Time varying noise levels are converted to a single number for each
piece of equipment during the operation. Besides having daily variation in activities, major
construction project are accomplished in several different phases. Each phase has a specific
equipment mix depending on the work to be accomplished during that phase.
Each phase has its own noise characteristics some have higher continuous noise level than
others; some have high impact noise levels. The purpose of the assessment is to determine the
combined noise level generated from different equipments & its drop in dB (A) level as it
propagates.
Custic 3.2 developed by Canarina Environment software is used for noise pollution modeling
simulation. The noise dispersion is a complex physical phenomenon that involves turbulences &
non linear dynamics of the irreversible processes which is simplified in a simple equation.

4.5 Soil environment
Impacts during operational phase
The possible adverse impacts on soil within and beyond the project plot area during the
operational phase can be as under.
1) Pollution/Contamination of soil if the treated/untreated effluent in any way finds its way to
ground through unforeseen disposal/spillage/leakage is not envisaged for the project in
consideration since, the proposed project is a zero liquid discharge which will reuse the entire
quantum of treated waste water.
2) Accidental spillage of chemicals (raw material/product) & hazardous waste during storage,
handling, gland leakage of pumps, flange leakage in pipelines within the project plot.
3) Accidental spillage of chemicals (raw materials/products) & hazardous waste during
transportation to & fro form the project site.
4) Deposition of particulate matter from stack/chimney in the windward direction from the
project site.
Mitigation measures
The possible impacts listed above can be prevented or minimized by adopting certain mitigative
measures as listed below.
1) All raw materials & products should be stored in dedicated closed warehouses/storage areas
with leak proof flooring & walls. Production area should be covered with “Acid/Alkali” proof
bricks with adequate drainage system connected to ETP.
2) The transportation of chemicals (raw materials/products) & hazardous waste will be mainly
done by trucks/tempos/tankers however the unforeseen events of accidental spillage are not
predictable which makes is difficult to install pre event control measures. However for such

instances the project proponent is robustly advised to develop & deploy Offsite Emergency
Contingency Plan & related Standard Operating Procedures to tackle any such unforeseen event.
3) Hazardous waste should be stored in dedicated hazardous waste storage area made of thick
concrete paved flooring & in any case hazardous waste should not be stored more than 90 days
& to be disposed off to CHWTSDF. Other industrial waste such as plastic waste, packing
material, cleaned empty drums/carboys/containers should be stored in a dedicated waste storage
area & such waste should be returned to supplier/sold to authorized recycler.
4) For proper dispersion of pollutants in atmosphere, stack with appropriate height will be
provided.
Overall it can be said that as the proposed project plot is located well within the precincts of the
Dhatav MIDC Estate, there is no possibility of any adverse impact on the agricultural soils
beyond the MIDC limits but within the limits of the study area.
4.6 Biological environment
Nevertheless the impacts associated with any kind of proposed activity on the environment
cannot be completely nullified however the severity of such impacts can be minimized to a great
extent by advocating suitable mitigation measures.
Though the proposed project is a green field project however the project plot has been purchased
with the existing infrastructures such as manufacturing buildings, storage area, solvent tank farm
yard, electric transformer yard, security cabin etc. located at 2/12, Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Dist. -
Raigad, Maharashtra, India the only proposed ground coverage activity will be development of
parking zone in an area of 1885.00 sq. m. The proposed project will involve minor construction
activities such as realignment/repairing/modifications in the existing infrastructure. Hence no
adverse impacts are envisaged on the surrounding environment during the construction phase.

4.6.1 Operational phase
Impacts during operational phase
Generally the activities which may have adverse impact on the biotic environment during
operational phase may be due to following activities.
1) Deliberate/unforeseen release of treated/untreated effluent, disposal of hazardous waste on the
ground or in the water bodies in the study area.
2) Deposition of particulate matter from stack/chimney in the windward direction of the project
site in the study area.
However for the proposed project following provisions for the effluent, hazardous waste & air
emission management have been made.
1) The proposed project envisages complete reuse of the treated effluent thereby making it a zero
liquid discharge project. Also the hazardous waste generated will be sent to CHWTSDF - Taloja,
Maharashtra.
Hence the only direct possible impacts due the proposed project in long course of time may be
from the following.
1) Air emissions viz. particulate matter from burning of fuel for operation of Boiler if at all it
escapes the MIDC industrial estate.
Mitigation measures
1) In order to minimize the air emissions at the source itself, APCD’s such as stack with
appropriate height, & Alkali Scrubber 2 no. are proposed to be installed.
2) As a precautionary measure industry should ensure that at no point of time during the
operational phase of the project the concentrations of air emissions should not exceed the
prescribed levels.

3) In order to arrest the fugitive emissions within the plant premises & to minimize the noise
intensity propagating out of the factory premises, thick green belt comprising of native species as
mentioned in Table No 10.8 of Chapter 10 are suggested for future green belt development.
Impact assessment
1) The proposed project envisages ground clearing activities in an area of 1885.00 sq . m. for
development of parking zone, now since the area demarcated for proposed parking zone was
devoid of any tree however prevailed ground dwelling herbaceous flora in order to assess the
loss of such flora replicate quadrats of 1x1 m were laid. The field study resulted in recording 18
herb species with a total count of 233 numbers in 4 quadrats off which 3 species viz.
Alternanthera sessilis, Mimosa pudica, Desmostachya bipinnata were assessed as Least
Concern ver 3.1 whereas remaining 14 species were not assessed by IUCN & 1 species being could
not be identified up to species level the assessment could not be assessed.
The ground dwelling herbaceous flora recorded in the above plot is extremely common in
distribution & abundance across the entire range of Raigad District. Moreover this said loss of
ground flora will occur within a plot which is located well within the precincts of notified MIDC
area & prevails industrial type of use in the surrounding hence no adverse impacts are envisaged
due to loss of such vegetation.
Also the proposed project does not involves liquid or solid discharge/disposal on the ground or in
the water bodies within the study area & being located well within the MIDC Estate which is
exclusively meant for industrial developmental activities no adverse impacts are anticipated on
the surrounding biotic environment.
4.8 Land Use & Land Cover
Impact identification
Generally the developmental activities such as construction & development of
Building/Township/Industrial Estate/Special Economic Zones which involve comparatively
larger areas tend to change the prevailing land use & land cover aspects directly.
Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Proposed Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing unit of M/s Ambernath Organics Pvt. Ltd. Located at Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Raigad, Maharashtra. SEEPL/EIA/F/IND/AOPL/001/2016-17/01
Chapter 4 – Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 4-41
Also the influx of people associated with such project activities has the potentiality of changing
surrounding land use & land cover aspects by way of new settlements/setups & thus promoting
various other infrastructural activities there by inducing land use/land cover changes indirectly.
Though the project in consideration being a green field project does not involve any land
acquisition since the project plot has been purchased with the existing infrastructures such as
manufacturing buildings, storage area, solvent tank farm yard, electric transformer yard, security
cabin etc. located at 2/12, Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Dist. - Raigad, Maharashtra, India the only
proposed ground coverage activity will be development of parking zone in an area of 1885.00 sq.
m. which will lead to reduction of open area in the proposed project plot except which no
changes in land use & land cover aspects are anticipated.
4.9 Socio economic environment
It is envisaged that the proposed project & activity will help to some improvements in the locale
specific socio-economic aspects in the project affected area. Since the proposed expansion will
be carried out within the existing plant area and hence no impact on external human settlements
is envisaged also project will not have any major impact on the local level population growth,
since only a nominal 105 no. man power is required for the project. Hence increase in the
population and related strain on infrastructure of the study area is not envisaged. Better literacy
rates are possible due to assumed better economic conditions of the people in the project
concerned area. This will be a positive impact due to the proposed capacity.
4.10 Odour
4.10.1 Identification of source
Odour sources can be continuous or intermittent, point sources (for example chimneys, stacks or
building vent/exhaust pipes), area sources (for example stockpiles, ponds or open-topped tanks)
or volume sources (for example, a building with many openings from which odour escapes). The
sources within the site boundary and any nearby sources beyond the boundary they could
contribute to cumulative odour impacts. It is important to include fugitive sources as these often

Chapter 4 – Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 4-42
make an important contribution to the odour impacts. In the operational phase the component
which will contribute to the odour generations are working of waste water treatment plant, raw
materials and chemicals handling in the industry, working emission of the solvents storage tanks
etc. Sources which will lead to the generation of odour are leakage of solvent/chemical from the
storage drums/pipeline/reactors, , domestic waste, handling of raw materials, also handling of
sludge and reaction waste etc.
4.10.2 Impact prediction
Exposure to odors could result in health effects ranging from none, to mild discomfort, to more
serious symptoms. Some chemicals with strong odors may cause eye, nose, throat or lung
irritation. Strong odors may cause some people to feel a burning sensation that leads to coughing,
wheezing or other breathing problems. Workers/People coming in contact who smell strong
odors may get headaches or feel dizzy or nauseous. If an odor lasts a long time or keeps
occurring, it also could affect mood, anxiety and stress level.
4.10.3 Mitigation measures
Mitigation measures that can be implemented for controlling the odour are given below,
Increasing Air Exchange: The exchange of air surrounding an odorous process is large
the emitted odorants will be diluted. But if the odour comes from evaporated material, the
emission may increase. In normal circumstances it is best to reduce the amount of air
which gets in contact with odorous materials. In this way odour control equipment will be
required.
Supervision and maintenance: If equipment is supervised and maintained frequently,
leakages in joints, pump gaskets, boilers etc. can be avoided and odour nuisances be
prevented. Ordinary operational practice should include maintenance of equipment to
prevent uncontrolled escape of odour. Odour emissions are often a result of plant
overloading or chemicals spill. It is therefore essential that processes operate correctly
and chemicals are handled carefully. Odour emitted in connection with tank filling

operations can be minimized by means of floating covers or smell charcoal filters at
ventilation outlets.
Good Housekeeping: Decay Evaporation of odorants from stored decaying material may
often lead to odour emission. Good housekeeping may eliminate the problems.
Provision of Containment: The preventive measures or changed process parameters are
not enough to avoid annoying emissions of odorous compounds from a plant, it must be
placed in a building equipped with ventilation and, where required, air cleaning
equipment. It may be necessary to have non-opening windows and automatic gate and
door closing devices, and to provide a negative pressure in the building. Odour nuisances
can be prevented either by cleaning of exhaust air or by dilution in outlets.

Chapter 5 – Analysis of Alternatives
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 5-1
Chapter 5 –Analysis of Alternative
5.1 Analysis of alternative site
The process of industrial site-selection begins with the recognition of project need. The site
satisfying the screening criteria in comparison with the possible alternative site for the proposed
facility. The screening criteria set by the company are economic & social factors.
The main reason behind selection of this site is a smaller amount rate of MIDC land as compare
to other MIDC area. MIDC has provided asphalted road network, CETP facility along with
pipeline network. The project site is close to National highway no. 66 & Railway network, so it
will be convenient for transportation of material and workers are economically viable. Project
proponent have purchased this plot with existing infrastructure, therefore requirement of any
major constructional activities is not envisaged. Roha has well supportive infrastructure, MIDC
is surrounded by many small villages hence worker availability will be with ease. Fire station,
Police station, Hospital and other life supportive facilities are in MIDC area only. Therefore no
alternate site was considered for establishment of project.
5.2 Analysis of alternative technology
Company has developed their manufacturing process in as such a way that all manufacturing
process doesn’t involve generation of gaseous pollutant, acid fumes etc. except CO2 gas. The
effluent will contain sodium chloride salt which will be also sold to the brine manufacture hence
it would not be wasted. The adopted technology for manufacturing of perfumery product is best
at the present, therefore no alternative technology is envisaged.

7.4 Aerial Location of Hazardous Atmosphere (ALOHA):
A Quantitative Risk Assessment based on the software ALOHA – Aerial Locations of Hazardous
Atmospheres was carried out. The criteria failure scenarios considered for ALOHA depend on
the type of storage whether above ground tank, drums in storage area or pressurized cylinders as
well as physical state of the chemical stored and chemical properties of the chemical.
ALOHA (Arial Locations of Hazards Atmosphere) is an atmospheric dispersion model
used for evaluating releases of hazardous chemical vapors. ALOHA is a part of software called
CAMEO (Computer Aided Management of Emergency Operation). CAMEO is one of the tools
developed by EPA’s Chemical Emergency Preparedness and Prevention Office (CEPPO) and the
National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Office of Response and Restoration (NOAA),
to assist front-line chemical emergency planners and responders. For the present calculation
version 5.4.4 is used.
CAMEO suite consists of three parts viz.
1. CAMEO: It is basically a chemical data base provided for calculations.
2. ALOHA: ALOHA allows the user to estimate the downwind dispersion of a chemical cloud
based on the toxicological/physical characteristics of the released chemical, atmospheric
conditions, and specific circumstances of the release.
3. MARPLOT (Mapping Applications for Response, Planning, and Local Operational Tasks):
Graphical outputs include a "cloud footprint" that can be plotted on maps with MARPLOT to
display the location of other facilities storing hazardous materials and vulnerable locations,
such as hospitals and schools. Specific information about these locations can be extracted
from CAMEO information modules to help make decisions about the degree of hazard posed.

Acute Exposure Guideline Levels (AEGL):
Figure No. 7.1: Description of AEGL levels
THERMAL RADITION EFFECTS:
A Thermal Radiation Level of Concern (LOC) is a threshold level of thermal radiation, usually
the level above which a hazard may exist.
10 kW/(sq m) -- potentially lethal within 60 sec;
5 kW/(sq m) -- second-degree burns within 60 sec; and
2 kW/(sq m) -- pain within 60 sec.
Below are some effects at specific thermal radiation levels for which software was run.
37.5 kw / m2 (100% lethality),
12.5 kw/m2 (1% lethality),
1.6 kw/m2 (no discomfort)
The thermal radiation effects that people experience depend upon the length of time they are
exposed to a specific thermal radiation level. Longer exposure durations, even at a lower
thermal radiation level, can produce serious physiological effects.

Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 7-7
OVERPRESSURE EFFECTS:
A major hazard associated with any explosion is overpressure. Overpressure, also called a blast
wave, refers to the sudden onset of a pressure wave after an explosion. This pressure wave is
caused by the energy released in the initial explosion—the bigger the initial explosion, the more
damaging the pressure wave. Blast waves can damage buildings or even knock them flat—often
injuring or killing the people inside them. The sudden change in pressure can also affect
pressure-sensitive organs like the ears and lungs. The damaging effects of the overpressure will
be greatest near the source of the explosion and lessen as you move farther from the source.
An Overpressure Level of Concern (LOC) is a threshold level of pressure from a blast wave,
usually the pressure above which a hazard may exist. In vapour cloud explosion scenario,
ALOHA will suggest three default LOC values. ALOHA uses three threshold values to create
the default threat zones:
• Red: 8.0 psi (destruction of buildings);
• Orange: 3.5 psi (serious injury likely); and
• Yellow: 1.0 psi (shatters glass).
ALOHA software is used to estimate the risk associated with release of pressurized gases. The
list of pressurized gases stored in the plant with respective quantity is listed in following table.

7.6 Toxicity (Monds) Index
The principle and general approach used in the DOW method of hazard evaluation have been
further developed by ICI Mond Division, the revised Mond Fire, Explosive and Toxicity index is
a series of papers by Lewis (1979). The main developments made to the DOW Index in the
Mond Index are:
1. It covers a wider range of process and storage installation
2. It covers the processing of chemicals with explosive properties
3. A calculation procedure is included to allow for the off-setting effects of good design and
control and safety instrumentation
4. The procedure has been extended to cover plant layout
5. Separate indices are calculated to access the hazards of fire, internal explosion and aerial
explosion.
To estimate the Monds Index for raw materials in storage area following,
All the raw materials stored in the industry premises are tabulated and data for their N (H) levels
and TLV levels are obtained. Based on their highest toxicity factor and lowest TLV level
Mond’s Index was calculated for Dimethyl Sulfate, Hydrogen Peroxide for drum storages.
Similarly Hydrochloric acid are stored in tank farms, Mond’s index was performed is performed
for both of them.

7.7 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Objectives of Disaster Management Plan [DMP]
The Disaster Management Plan (DMP) is aimed to ensure safety of life, protection of
environment, protection of installation, restoration of production and salvage operations in the
same order of priorities. For effective implementation of the DMP, it should be widely circulated
and personnel training through rehearsals/drills should be organized. Further, the management
should be able to demonstrate that its assessment of the consequences as good supporting
evidence. To tackle the consequences of a major emergency inside the factory or immediate
vicinity of the factory, a DMP has to be formulated and this planned emergency document is
called "Disaster Management Plan". The objective of the Industrial Disaster Management Plan is
to make use of the combined resources of the plant and the outside services to achieve the
following:
Effect the rescue and medical treatment of causalities
Safeguard other people
Minimize damage to property and the environment
Initially control and ultimately bring the incident under control
Identify any casualties
Provide authoritative information to the news media
Secure the safe rehabilitation of affected area
Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent inquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the emergency. In effect, it is to optimize operational efficiency to
rescue rehabilitation and render medical help and to restore normalcy.

facilities, so that the emergency can be controlled and the damages are minimized in the shortest
period with proper use of all available resources.
The unit should be duly prepared and ready all the time to encounter any possible emergency,
while it may strike or not. Being a Specialty Chemicals Manufacturing unit various type of
chemicals are used possessing varied types of hazards and knowing the hazards of the chemical,
stored, handled or processed in the factory, the quick response action must be created within unit.
The structure of the plan may vary depending on the number of employees, materials, process,
and availability of recourses, location of site, size and complexity of the unit. It should ensure to
work out a plan with possibilities of various emergencies with likely to arise within unit. Further
the periodical rehearsal is also to be carried out to check and examine the effectiveness,
awareness and preparedness of the plan as well as services. The emergency planning is not a
substitute for good design, plant operating and maintenance practices. Therefore, the Onsite
Emergency Action Plan must be followed to avoid emergency.
7.7.2.2 Periodic Checking Schedule-
To check availability, work ability and take necessary actions for replacement and maintenance,
if required. Check resources of water. Keep all emergency and essential Telephone Nos. with
contact persons, suppliers for the same handy. Contact details may be displayed on the boards
installed at prominent locations in the plant and offices. Maintain the co- ordination with other
fire – services. Also the Firefighting system and PPE should be checked if they are in working
condition and proper maintenance should be done.
7.7.2.3Preventive Maintenance (To Avoid Emergency)
A scheduled periodical preventative maintenance and inspection of the plants, Reactors,
centrifuges, equipment’s, storage tanks, air compressors etc. are as per laid down procedures and
check that records are maintained properly. Check the test, examination and certification have
been carried out within reasonable period.

Chapter 7 – Additional Studies
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 7-49
Cessation of agitation may be the best action in some instances but not in others.
Stopping of the feed may require the provision of bypass arrangements.
Methods of removing additional heat include removal through the normal cooling arrangements
or use of an emergency cooling system. Cooling facilities, which use vaporizing liquid, may be
particularly effective, since a large increase in vaporization can be obtained by dropping
pressure.
7.7.11.3 Evacuation of Personnel
There could be more number of persons in the storage area and other areas in the vicinity. The
area would have adequate number of exits and staircases. In the event of an emergency,
unconnected personnel have to escape to assembly point. Operators have to take emergency
shutdown procedure and escape. Time Office maintains a copy of deployment of employees in
each shift. If necessary, persons can be evacuated by rescue teams.
7.7.11.4 All Clear Signal
Also, at the end of an emergency, after discussing with Incident Controllers and Emergency Co-
coordinators, the Site Controller orders an all clear signal. When it becomes essential, the Site
Controller communicates to the District Emergency Authority, Police, and Fire Service
personnel regarding help required or development of the situation into an Off-Site Emergency.

7.7.12.2 Public Information and Warning
The industrial disaster effects related to this plant may mostly be confined to the plant area. The
detailed risk analysis has indicated that the pool fire effects would not be felt outside. However,
as an abundant precaution, the information related to chemicals in use would be furnished to
District Emergency Authority (normally the Collector) for necessary dissemination to general
public and for any use during an offsite emergency.
7.7.12.3 Co-ordination with Local Authorities
Keeping in view the nature of the emergency, two levels of co-ordination are proposed. In the
case of an On Site Emergency, resources within the organization would be mobilized and in the
event of an extreme emergency, local authorities’ help should be sought.
In the event of an emergency developing into an offsite emergency, local authority and District
Emergency Authority (normally the Collector) would be appraised and under his supervision, the
Off Site Disaster Management Plan would be exercised. For this purpose, the facilities that are
available locally, i.e. medical, transport, personnel, rescue accommodation, voluntary
organizations etc. would be mustered. Necessary rehearsals and training in the form of mock
drills should be organized.
7.8 Off-Site Emergency Preparedness Plan
The off-site plan will be prepared with the help of the local district authorities. The proposed
plan will be based on the following guidelines.
7.8.1 Introduction
Off-site emergency plan follows the on-site emergency plan. When the consequences of an
emergency situation go beyond the plant boundaries, it becomes an off-site emergency. Off-site
emergency is essentially the responsibility of the public administration. However, the factory
management will provide the public administration with the technical information relating to the
nature, quantum and probable consequences on the neighboring population. The off-site plan in
detail will be based on those events, which are most likely to occur, but other less likely events,
Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Proposed Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing unit of M/s Ambernath Organics Pvt. Ltd. Located at Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Raigad, Maharashtra. SEEPL/EIA/F/IND/AOPL/001/2016-17/01
Chapter 7 – Additional Studies
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 7-51
which have severe consequence, will also be considered. Incidents, which have very severe
consequences yet have a small probability of occurrence, should also be considered during the
preparation of the plan. However, the key feature of a good off-site emergency plan is flexibility
in its application to emergencies other than those specifically included in the formation of the
plan.
The roles of the various parties who will be involved in the implementation of an off-site plan
are described below. Depending on local arrangements, the responsibility for the off-site plan
should either rest with the works management or, with the local authority. Either way, the plan
should identify an emergency coordinating officer, who would take the overall command of the
off-site activities. As with the on-site plan, an emergency control centre should be set up within
which the emergency coordinating officer can operate. An early decision will be required in
many cases on the advice to be given to people living "within range" of the accident; in
particular, whether they should be evacuated or told to go indoor. In the latter case, the decision
can regularly be reviewed in the event of an escalation of the incident.
Consideration of evacuation may include the following factors:
In the case of a major fire but without explosion risk (e.g. an oil storage tank), only
houses close to the fire are likely to need evacuation, although a severe smoke hazard
may require this to be reviewed periodically
If a fire is escalating and in turn threatening a store of hazardous material, it might be
necessary to evacuate people nearby, but only if there is time; if insufficient time exists,
people should be advised to stay indoors and shield themselves from the fire For release
or potential release of toxic materials, limited evacuation may be appropriate downwind
if there is time. The decision would depend partly on the type of housing "at risk".
Conventional housing of solid construction with windows closed offers substantial
protection from the effects of a toxic cloud, while shanty house, which can exist close to
factories, offers little or no protection
7.8.2 Aspects Proposed to be considered in the Off-Site Emergency Plan
The main aspects, which should be included in the emergency plan, are:

Chapter 7 – Additional Studies
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 7-53
7.8.2.10 Role of the Emergency Co-ordinating Officer
The various emergency services should be co-ordinated by an emergency co-ordinating officer
(ECO), who will be designated by the District Collector. The ECO should liaise closely with the
Site Controller. Again, depending on local arrangements, for very severe incidents with major or
prolonged off-site consequences, the external control should be passed on to a senior local
authority administrator or even an administrator appointed by the central or state government.
7.8.2.11 Role of the Local Authority
The duty to prepare the off-site plan lies with the local authorities. The emergency planning
officer (EPO) appointed should carry out his duty in preparing for a whole range of different
emergencies within the local authority area. The EPO should liase with the works, to obtain the
information to provide the basis for the plan. This liaison should ensure that the plan is
continually kept up to date.
It will be the responsibility of the EPO to ensure that all those organizations, which will be
involved off site in, handling the emergency, know of their role and are able to accept it by
having for example, sufficient staff and appropriate equipment to cover their particular
responsibilities. Rehearsals for off-site plans should be organized by the EPO.
7.8.2.12 Role of Police
Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life and property and
controlling traffic movements. Their functions should include controlling bystanders, evacuating
the public, identifying the dead and dealing with casualties, and informing relatives of dead or
injured.
7.8.2.13 Role of Fire Authorities
The control of a fire should normally be the responsibility of the senior fire brigade officer who
would take over the handling of the fire from the site incident controller on arrival at the site.
The senior fire brigade officer should also have a similar responsibility for other events, such as
explosions and toxic release. Fire authorities in the region should be apprised about the location
of all stores of flammable materials, water and foam supply points, and fire-fighting equipment.
Environmental Impact Assessment Report for Proposed Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing unit of M/s Ambernath Organics Pvt. Ltd. Located at Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Raigad, Maharashtra. SEEPL/EIA/F/IND/AOPL/001/2016-17/01
Chapter 7 – Additional Studies
Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 7-54
They should be involved in on-site emergency rehearsals both as participants and, on occasion,
as observers of exercises involving on-site personnel.
7.8.2.14 Role of Health Authorities
Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances, and similar other
persons/institutions should have a vital part to play following a major accident, and they should
form an integral part of the emergency plan. For major fires, injuries should be the result of the
effects of thermal radiation to a varying degree, and the knowledge and experience to handle this
in all but extreme cases may be generally available in most hospitals. For major toxic releases,
the effects vary according to the chemical in question, and the health authorities should be
apprised about the likely toxic releases from the plant, which will enable them to deal with the
aftermath of a toxic release with treatment appropriate to such casualties. Major off-site incidents
are likely to require medical equipment and facilities inadditional to those available locally, and
a medical "mutual aid" scheme shouldexist to enable the assistance of neighboring authorities to
be obtained in theevent of an emergency.
7.8.2.15 Role of Government Safety Authority
This will be the factory inspectorate available in the region. Inspectors are likely to want to
satisfy themselves that the organization responsible for producing the off-site plan has made
adequate arrangements for handling emergencies of all types including major emergencies. They
may wish to see well documented procedures and evidence of exercise undertaken to test the
plan. In the event of an accident, local arrangements regarding the role of the factory inspector
will apply. These may vary from keeping a watch to a close involvement in advising on
operations. While the industry will activate the DMP and take necessary alleviating measures
and arrange to extend all medical and security support, the factory inspectorate may be the only
external agency with equipment and resources to carry out appropriate tests to assess the impact.

Chapter 10: Environmental Management Plan
10.1 Introduction
Every industrial development is associated with the positive and negative impacts on
environmental components. Though the probable negative impacts cannot be nullified
completely the much required developmental activities cannot be impeded.
Environmental Impact Assessment helps in identifying potentially environmental impacts of a
proposed project activity. Based on the finding of the impact assessment, Environment
Management Plan is devised to minimize the adverse impacts and enumerate various steps to be
taken for improvement of the environment. Environmental Management Plan helps in
formulation, implementation and monitoring of environmental parameters during &
commissioning of project. Environment Management Plan (EMP) is the tool to ensure a safe and
clean environment. A project may have identified proper mitigation measures but without a
management plan to execute it, the desired results may not be obtained. The Environment
Management Plan envisages proper implementation of mitigation measures to reduce the adverse
impacts arising out of the project activities.
Some of the major objectives of the EMP are:
Ensure the project implementation with minimal impacts on all environmental components
Minimize the impacts on socio- economic indicators of local and adjoining regions
Maintain the highest level of readiness for meeting the needs of any deviation in sustainability
practices
Systematic implementation with adequate manpower, budget and action plan for EMP

no utilization of fly ash is envisaged, as per Fly Ash Notification, 2009.
10.7 Action plan for green belt development
Generally a green developed along the factory boundary helps to arrest/capture dust emissions
escaping beyond the factory boundary and also to minimize the noise intensity propagating out
of the factory premises along with improving the aesthetics of project site.
10.7.1 Guidelines considered for green belt development plan
The proposed green belt development plant has been developed on the basis of following
considerations:
Design: As per the additional Terms of Reference (TOR) granted by Expert Appraisal
Committee (EAC) during the 17th
EAC meeting dated 26th
to 29th
December 2016, proposed
green belt areas are demarcated along the periphery of the project boundary as per feasibility.
Selection of plant species: The plants to be planted are selected considering the structure and
composition of vegetation in the study area as observed during baseline assessment study
(preferably native fast growing, non fruiting plants having large leaf area).
10.7.2. Details of existing green belt
Though the proposed project is a green field project however the project plot has been purchased
with the existing infrastructures such as manufacturing buildings, storage area, solvent tank farm
yard, electric transformer yard, security cabin etc. located at 2/12, Dhatav MIDC, Roha, Dist. -

10.8 Action plan for rain water harvesting measures at plant site
Rainwater harvesting is a technique used for collecting, storing, and using rainwater for
landscape irrigation and other uses. The rainwater is collected from various hard surfaces such as
roof tops and/or other types of manmade above ground hard surfaces. Proposed project will
built-up rain water harvesting system for collection of rain water which will be utilized for
domestic as well as for gardening during summer season. which will ultimately reduce demand
of fresh water from other sources.
Details of Rainwater harvesting systems are as follows :
1) Rain water harvesting tank of capacity 50 M3
will be constructed
2) Expected rainwater collection will be around 14,09,400 Lit/A
Expected Rain water collection (Approx.) =
Annual rainfall (mm) X Roof Area (sq. m) X (Run off Coefficient)
= 1800 X 870 X 0.9 = 14,09,400 L/annum
3) Expected rain water volume to be utilized in rainy season in four months at the rate
of 3,52,350 L / month
4) 5.0 lakh rupees will be allocated for RWH system.
The rain water harvested will be used for gardening and cooling tower intake purpose. The water
intake will be reduced as the RHW water will be totally used in the plant premises. Company has
made budgetary allocation of Rs. 5,00,000/- for setting up RWH system (Rain water collection
pipes & HDPE 14 KL tank for storage of harvested water) & Rs.1, 00,000/- recurring
expenditure for annual cleaning of RWH tank.

10.9 Storm Water Management
In developed area like Industrial estate or company premises, impervious surface such as
pavements in factory premises prevents precipitation from naturally soaking to the ground,
instead of that water runs into storm drains. Managing the quantity and quality of storm water is
termed, "Storm water Management."
Storm water quantity can be estimated by three methods.
1. SCS Technique : Curve number method of USDA
2. Commercial Software: Storm water management model (SWMM) or STORM
3. Rational Method.
In this section of the report rational method will be used to quantify the amount of storm water
run off per hour in the plant premises.
Rational Method
Q = 10 CiA
Q= Runoff in m3/hr
C = Coefficient of runoff
i = intensity of rainfall in mm/hr
A = Area of drainage in hectares.
Q = 10 x 0.9 x 0.25 x 0.98
Q = 2.20 m3/hr

Sadekar Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd 10-21
Conclusion:
The maximum water that can be received during rainy season on the plant is calculated to be
around 2.20 m3/hr.. Hence for proper surface runoff management, it is advised to develop
internal storm water drains of adequate capacity.
