All the threat zones in the proposed unit are super imposed on Google image. Figure

7.1 to 7.6 shows the map of vulnerable areas corresponding to different individual

outcome cases. These figures give the location, where individual risk is found to be a

maximum at locations within premises. A broadly acceptable level of individual risk as

per the ALARP (AS LOW AS REASONABLY PRACTICABLE) concept of HSE, UK is 10-

6/year.

7.6 Summary

It may be noted that in dispersion modeling, the wind direction and air

temperature, atmospheric stability are found to be the deciding factors for the

threat zones.

7.7.11 Offsite Emergency Preparedness Plan

Offsite emergency plan would follow the onsite emergency plan. When the

consequences of an emergency situation go beyond the plant boundaries, it becomes an

offsite emergency. As the off-site emergency plan is to be prepared by the Government,

a Central Control Committee or Group will be formed under the Chairmanship of the

area head. For example, we assume a district structure and District Collector (is the

Chairman of the District Control Committee (DCC). Other officers from police, fire,

factory, medical, engineering, social welfare, publicity, railway, telephone, transport and

requisite departments will be incorporated as members.

However, the plant management will provide the public administration with the

technical information relating to the nature, quantum and probable consequences on

the neighboring population. The offsite plan in detail is based on those events, which are

most likely to occur, but other less likely events, which have severe consequences, will

also be considered. Incidents which have very severe consequences yet have a small

probability of occurrence would also be considered during the preparation of the plan.

The roles of the various parties who is directly involved in the implementation of an

offsite plan are described below. Depending on local arrangements, the responsibility

for the offsite plan would either rest with the plant management or with the local

authority.

Figure 7.20: Off-Site Emergency Plan

7.58

Aspects Proposed to be considered in the Offsite Emergency Plan

The main aspects, which will be included in the emergency plan, are:

Organization: Detail of command structure, warning systems, and implementation

procedures, emergency control centres. Names and appointments of incident controller,

site main controller, their deputies and other key personnel.

Communications: Identification of personnel involved, communication centre, call signs,

network, list of telephone numbers.

Specialized Knowledge: Details of specialist bodies, firms and people upon whom it may

be necessary to call e.g. those with specialized fuel knowledge, laboratories.

Voluntary Organizations: Details of organizers, telephone numbers, resources etc.

Fuel Information: Details of the hazardous substances stored and a summary of the risk

associated with them.


manufacturing unit





NABET Accredited


7.59

Meteorological Information: Arrangements for obtaining details of weather forecasts

and weather conditions prevailing at that time.

Humanitarian Arrangements: Transport, evacuation centres, emergency feeding,

treatment of injured, first aid, ambulances and temporary mortuaries.

Public Information: Arrangements for (a) Dealing with the media press office; (b)

Informing relatives Assessment of Emergency Plan

Arrangements for: Collecting information on the causes of the emergency; and

Reviewing the efficiency and effectiveness of all aspects of the emergency plan.

Role of the Emergency Co-ordinating Officer

The various emergency services would be coordinated by an Emergency Coordinating

Officer (ECO), who is designated by the district collector. The ECO would liaison closely

with the Factory Manager/Safety officer. The ECO has been equipped with address and

phone numbers of important agencies.

a. Role of the Local Authority

The duty to prepare the offsite plan lies with the local authorities. The Emergency

Planning Officer (EPO) appointed will carry out his duty in preparing for a whole range

of different emergencies within local authority area. This liaison will ensure that plan is

continually kept up to date. It is responsibility of the EPO to ensure that all those

organizations which have been involved offsite in handling the emergency knows 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 offsite

plans will be organized by the EPO.

b. Role of Police

Formal duties of the police during an emergency include protecting life and property

and controlling traffic movements. Their functions will include controlling bystanders,

evacuating the public, identifying the dead and dealing with casualties, and informing

relatives of death or injury.

Role of Fire Authorities

The control of a fire will be normally 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 will also have a similar responsibility for other

events, such as explosions. Fire authorities in the region will be appraised about the

location of all stores of flammable materials, water and foam supply points, and

firefighting equipment. They will be involved in onsite emergency rehearsals both as

participants and, on occasion, as observers of exercises involving only site personnel.

c. Role of Health Authorities

Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals, ambulances and so on, will

have a vital part to play following a major accident, and they will form an integral part

of the emergency plan. For major fires, injuries will 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.

Major off site incidents are likely to require medical equipment and facilities additional

to those available locally, and a medical "mutual aid” scheme will exist to enable the

Assistance of neighboring authorities to be obtained in the event of an emergency.

d. Role of Government Safety Authority

This will be the factory inspectorate available in the region. Inspectors are likely to

satisfy themselves that the organization responsible for producing the offsite 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.

7.7.12 LDAR (Leak Detection and Repair)

It is known that leaking equipment, such as valves, pumps, and connectors, are the largest

source of emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and volatile hazardous air

pollutants (VHAPs) from chemical manufacturing units. The raw material which have

tendency to emits VOCs are described in Table-7.15

LDAR programme would be applicable to components for following products/compounds:

(i) Hydrocarbon gases; (ii) Light liquid with vapor pressure @ 20°C > 1.0 kPa;]and (iii)

Heavy liquid with vapor pressure @ 20°C between 0.3 to 1.0 kPa

Actually all solvents used for the proposed project of M/s. Matru Industries. will be used only for adjustment of viscosity. So no solvent will be generated and recovered. So no loss of solvents at any stage of project.

Even though the LDAR program for proposed project will be applicable to following

Leak detection and repair methods can be applied in order to reduce fugitive emissions

from process unit sources. Leak detection methods are used to identify equipment

components that are emitting significant amounts of VOC. Emissions from leaking

sources may be reduced by three general methods.

1. Repair, 2. Modification 3. Replacement of the source. In the case of open ended lines, however, equipment leaks

are treated more effectively by installation of control equipment.

The source may be checked for leakage by

1. Visual

3. Olfactory

2. Audible

4. Instrument techniques

(Portable hydrocarbon detection instruments are the best method for identifying leaks

of VOC from components)

occur at the stem or gland area of the valve body and are commonly caused by a failure of the valve packing or O-ring.

Place the probe inlet at approximately the center of the opening to the atmosphere.

Plug type valves can be lubricated with grease to reduce emissions. Many valves have no means of in-service repair and must be isolated from the process.

Connectors Gasket failure and improperly torqued bolts on flanges.

For welded flanges, place the probe at the outer edge of the flange-gasket interface and sample the circumference of the flange. If the source is a rotating shaft, position the probe inlet within 1 cm of the shaft-seal interface for the survey.

In some cases, leaks from flanges can be reduced by replacing the flange gaskets.

Sampling Connections At the outlet of the sampling valve when the sampling line is purged to obtain the sample.

Place the probe inlet at approximately the center of the opening to the atmosphere.

Compressors Most often occur from the seals.

Conduct a circumferential traverse at the outer surface of the pump or compressor shaft and seal interface.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

10.1 Introduction

To formulate and monitor Environmental Protection measures during and after

commissioning of project, preparation of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is

required. The development of sound Environment Management Plan is important to

mitigate any adverse impacts of the proposed project. The plan should indicate the

details as to how various measures have been or are being proposed to be taken

including cost components as may be required. Cost of measures for environmental safe

guards should be treated as an integral component of the project cost and

environmental aspects should be taken in to account at various stages of the project.

Conceptualization: Preliminary Environmental Assessment.

Planning: Detailed study of Environmental Impacts and Design of Safeguard

Execution: Implementation of Environmental safety measures.

Operation: Monitoring of effectiveness of built in safe guards.

The maximum amount of pollution load that can be discharged in the environment

without affecting the designated use and is governed by dilution, dispersion and

removal due to natural physio-chemical and biological processes is the Assimilative

capacity of the study area. The main objective of Environmental Management Plan is to

warrant that the industrial development in an identified particular study area needs to

be entangled with judicious utilization of non-renewable resources and to ensure that

the stress/load on the ecosystem is within its permissible assimilative capacity i.e. its

carrying capacity.

Environment Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable development in

the area of the proposed plant. Hence, it needs to be an all encompass plan for which the

proposed industry, Government, Regulating agencies like Pollution Control Board

working in the region and more importantly the affected population of the study area

need to extend their co-operation and contribution. The identification and

quantification of impacts based on scientific and mathematical modelling.

Management Action Plan targets at controlling pollution at the source level to the

possible extent with the best available technology followed by treatment measures

before they are discharged. The recycling and re-use of industrial waste not only

reduces the waste generated but can be an economic gain to the industry.

10.5 Greenbelt Development Plan Ans to TOR no.7 (IX)

The main objective of the green belt is to provide a barrier between the plant and the

surrounding areas. The green belt helps to check soil erosion, make the eco-system

more sustainable, make the climate more conductive and restore water balance. The

green belt helps to capture the fugitive emissions and to attenuate the noise generated

in the plant apart from improving the aesthetics of the plant site.

Out of total plant area of 587.29 m2, Unit will develop greenbelt in 198.34 m2 Area, in

which half portion will be developed by tree cover. The tolerant species with diversity

will be planted which will help in suppression of fugitive dust, attenuate noise levels

and provide aesthetic background. The green belt development program will go

simultaneously in phased manner along with the civil activities. Details of the proposed

plant species are given in the Table 10.1.

(A) Design of Green Belt:

All around the site, a green belt of 1.5 m width and at entrance gate 8.25 m width will

be developed as bio- fence and bio-defense. In view of the presence of surface or

subsurface rock, trenches up to 2m depth will be dug out all around the site. They will

be filled with top soil from the construction site up to a depth of 1.75m leaving a gap on

about 0.25 m for effective watering and manuring.

Where it is not possible for a trench; bore holes of 9 inches diameter and 10 Ft (3m)

depth will be drilled, filled with a mixture of garden soil, vermin compost and sand in

equal proportions. Saplings grown in poly bags will be transplanted. Fast growing,

10.11

evergreen or semi evergreen tree saplings or cuttings will be planted to develop a thick

green belt. Saplings are readily available from the local nurseries and the plants are well

adapted to the local agro climate.

Shrubs and trees will be planted in encircling rows around the project site. The short

trees (<10 m height) will be planted in the first rows (towards plant side) of the green

belt. The tall trees (>10 m height) will be planted in the outer row (away from plant

side).

(B) Guidelines to be considered in Green Belt:

Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered orientation.

In the front row, shrubs will be grown.

Since the trunks of the tall trees are generally devoid of foliage, it will be useful to

have shrubs in front of the trees so as to give coverage to this portion.

The spacing between the trees will be maintained slightly less than the normal

spaces, so that the trees may grow vertically and slightly increase the effective height

of the green belt.

Providing the Greenbelt more than 33% area of the total project area with various

species.

10.6 Rain Water Harvesting Scheme Ans to TOR no.7 (X)

Rainwater Harvesting is generally recharging rainwater in to the underground

formation, where it will be stored in underground reservoirs (Aquifer) so that we can

draw it whenever we need it.

Need for Rainwater Harvesting

To reduce ground water pollution

To augment the ground water storage and decline of water level

To improve the quality of ground water

To reduce the soil erosion

The harvested rain water can be used for flushing, washing, gardening, irrigation, fire

fighting etc. Rain water is the purest form for water available to us.

Advantages of Rainwater Harvesting

Provides self sufficiency at least reduces load on water supply

Reduces the cost of pumping of ground water as it raises ground water table

Improves quality of ground water through dilution when recharge to ground water

Reduces soil erosion in alluvium area

Rainwater harvesting systems are simple which can be adopted by individuals

SUMMARY &

CONCLUSION





NABET Accredited

Chapter-11: Summary & Conclusion

11.1

CHAPTER - 11

SUMMARY & CONCLUSION

11.1 Introduction Generally any project or action includes various impacts, which vary in magnitude as their

beneficial or adverse classification. At the same time it is very important to conclude that the

“overall” or “collective” impact of the proposed project is beneficial or detrimental.

In case of the proposed project, impacts are evaluated with respect to various activities during

construction and operational phase.

11.2 Air Environment The general meteorological data collected during the study period confirms that climatic status

of the study area is consistent with the regional meteorology.

Baseline AAQ data indicates that 98th percentile concentration of PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NO2, CO &

VOCs in the study area are well within the permissible limits as prescribed in the National

Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards.

Based on the ground level concentration evaluated by Dispersion Modelling, it is found that due

to the operation of proposed project incremental values of various parameters are well within

the permission limits as prescribed in the National Ambient Air Quality (NAAQ) standards.

Hence, it may be concluded that there would not be any adverse impacts on surrounding air

environment within the study area due to the proposed project.

11.3 Water Environment

Baseline data reveal that as per drinking water quality standards IS 10500 overall quality of

both surface & ground water is suitable for domestic activity including agricultural activity. All

parameter of ground water meets standard prescribed by CPCB (IS 10500:2021) for drinking

water except for parameters like Chloride, Calcium, Magnesium etc. and surface water

parameter meets the Water Quality Standards (IS 10500:2012) for drinking water except for

parameters like pH, COD, total coliform etc. The water can be used for washing and other

activities only after treatment.

The total water requirement for the proposed project activity will be 9.25 kl/day. Water will be

obtained through a bore-well to fulfil such requirements. However, industry proposed to install

rainwater harvesting system to collect the rainwater and reuse in industry. Therefore, there will

be no significant impact on groundwater.





NABET Accredited


11.2

Domestic wastewater will be disposed off through soak pit system and industrial wastewater

will be collected and treated in ETP. Treated effluent will be goes to Evaporator system followed

by condenser system and condensate of the same will reuse in industrial activity. Thus, it can be

concluded that there would not be any significant adverse impact on the water environment due

to the proposed project.

11.4 Noise Environment Noise level in the project premises will be controlled at the source itself by appropriate use of

noise suppressing systems. Noise level in the surrounding study area is well within the

permissible limits (as prescribed in the National Noise Quality Standards) at all locations except

for Bharatnagar & Juna Sadulka.

Thus, noise generated due to the project activity shall create negligible impact in surrounding

environments. This shall further be attenuated by a barrier of plantation at the periphery of the

plant.

11.5 Land/Soil Environment

The soil pollution is generally due to wastewater and solid waste. There will be no industrial

wastewater discharge as treated effluent will be ultimately evaporated off in an evaporator.

Solid waste generation will be very less during operation phase of the proposed project.

Hazardous waste will be properly collected, stored & ultimately disposed to secured

landfill/TSDF site.

All the solid/hazardous wastes generated due to the proposed project will be properly collected,

stored & ultimately disposed off as per the applicable Act/Rules prescribed by statutory

authority.

Therefore, there would be no adverse impact on the land environment due to the proposed

project.

11.6 Ecology & Biodiversity

The flora and fauna of the study area indicate that species diversification is decent in the study area. Study reported a total of 130 plant species, 7 species of herpetofauna, 38 species of birds and 6 species of mammals from the buffer zone of project site. However, no threatened biodiversity reported with highest density or richness from the core and buffer zone of the study area. No true multi species forest type was recorded in the study area. It clearly indicates the low productive potential of the terrestrial ecosystem.

There would be no adverse impact of air pollution on the surrounding ecology as all the necessary air pollution control measures will be provided.





NABET Accredited


11.3

It may be noted that the company will develop a large green belt area in an area of 195.34 sq.m., which will help in inviting birds and other creatures to proliferate. Thus, the proposed project will not have any adverse impact on the ecology.

11.7 Socio-Economic Environment

The proposed project will generate employment during operation phase. The indirect

employment will also be generated by way of transportation, shopkeepers and other casual

employment for many people during operation phase as well as construction phase.

Local people will be given preference for the jobs in the proposed project. Economic status of

the local people will improve due to the increased business opportunities, thereby making a

positive impact. Educational, medical and housing facilities in the study area will considerably

improve.

Thus, the proposed project will have significant positive impact on the employment pattern of

the study area.

11.8 Conclusion

Negligible impacts will occur on air quality. However, all the necessary air pollution control

measures will be provided.

No ecological damage will occur.

No adverse impacts will occur on water environment.

Local employment opportunities will increase.

Various other environment parameters like Forest/ National Park/ Sanctuary and Religious

/ Historical Places will not be affected.

Environment Management Plan has been formulated to control all the pollutant parameters

and Environment Management Cell has been set-up to ensure that these parameters do not

exceed the norms set out by the concerned authorities.

After commissioning of the proposed project the Environmental Management Cell will take

care of all the pollution control measures.

It can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation measures

and environmental management plan during the construction & operational phase, there will be

negligible impact on the environment.
