Chapter 3: ENVIRONMENTAL BASE LINE DATA

INTRODUCTION

EIA report contains a description of existing environment that would be or might be affected

directly or indirectly by proposed project. Environmental baseline monitoring is a very important

stage of EIA. Environmental baseline monitoring, during the operational phase, helps in judging

the success of mitigation measures in protecting the environment.

Environmental facets that are considered in relation to Construction of a Group Housing project

“Spaze Privy AT4” can be categorized into following groups:

a) Topography

b) Ambient air quality

c) Noise quality

d) Water quality

e) Soil quality

f) Land use

g) Biological Environment

h) Socio-economic status

i) Traffic density

The intention of environmental baseline monitoring is not just to describe all baseline conditions

but to focus the collection and description of baseline data on those environmental conditions

that are important and are likely to be affected by the proposed project activities and is included

in impact assessments.

For the present study, all the sampling locations are marked with the help of topographical maps.

The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using Satellite imagery,

topographical maps, Survey of India and ground truth information. The baseline environmental

quality has been assessed for one Month (February 2018). Meteorological data of IMD station at

Palam, New Delhi has been used for the study. Samples of air, water and soil from the site and

nearby areas has been collected and analysed for the study of existing condition. Primary and


85


secondary data collection has been done by the Ecology and Biodiversity team for the study of

flora and fauna in the core and Buffer Zone.

METHODOLOGY

The baseline data is generated through field study within the impact zone (Core Zone and Buffer

Zone) for various components of the environment viz. Air, Noise, Water, Land, Ecology and

Socioeconomic. The baseline environmental quality has been assessed one Month (February

2018) in a study area of 10 Km radius distance from the project site. While generating the baseline

status of physical and biological environment of the study area, the concept of impact zone has

been considered. The impact zone selection is based on preliminary screening and modelling

studies. The methodology for measurement of various environmental indices is as follows:

i. Ambient Air Quality: The ambient air quality monitoring was done to assess the

ambient air quality in one season. Monitoring was carried out in the one Month

(February 2018). The guidelines for selections of ambient air monitoring stations given

in IS – 5182 part 14, 2000 were followed.

ii. Water Quality: To assess the water quality of the proposed area, sampling was done

as per the standard practice. Grab and Integrated sampling was done for ground and

surface water. Water samples were taken as per the Standard Methods (IS & APHA,

22nd Edition 2012). Necessary precautions were taken for preservation of samples.

The physical parameters viz. pH, temperature and conductivity were measured at site

using portable water analyser.

iii. Ambient Noise Quality: At each station noise level was monitored for 24-hours

simultaneously. For each measurement, dB (A) readings was taken for every 15

minutes for 24 hrs ones in a season to get Leq values.

iv. Soil Quality: For soil, augur method was used and samples were collected at 15 cm

depth after removing the upper crust.


86


v. Topography, Land-form and Land Use: The land use/ land cover map has been

generated on 1:50,000 scale using Satellite imagery, topographical maps, Survey of

India and ground truth information.

vi. Biological Environment: Primary and secondary data collection has been done by the

Ecology and Biodiversity team for the study of flora and fauna in the core and Buffer

Zone.

vii. Socio Economic Environment: For demography and socioeconomics, block wise data

has been collected and used for the assessment of impacts.

METEOROLOGY

Meteorological parameters are observed through secondary as well as primary sources. The data

through secondary source helps in deciding the location of air monitoring stations. It also helps

in assessment of impact on air quality on long term basis. The important parameters considered

are temperature, humidity, wind speed & direction and rainfall for both secondary as well as

primary (micro-meteorological parameters measured along with the measurement of air quality)

sources.

Climate Conditions (As Indian Meteorology Data, Palam, Delhi)

The meteorological data from Indian Meteorological Station was processed for the nearest IMD

station at Palam which has been utilized for the study. The meteorological data of last Fifteen

years (2002-2013) as recorded at Palam is given below:

Temperatures:

The maximum temperature of the area was recorded as 47.2 in May (2013) whereas the

minimum temperature of the area was recorded 0.3 in January 2006. Data of the maximum and

minimum temperature are given below.

AMBIENT AIR QUALITY

The ambient air quality monitoring was done to assess the ambient air quality. Monitoring was

carried out at Six stations for the month of February 2018.

The guidelines for selections of ambient air monitoring stations given in IS – 5182 part 14, 2000 were

followed. These guidelines state that, “when the objective of air sampling is to identify the

contribution from specific sources of pollution, the sampling locations should be in upwind and the

downwind of such sources”.

The location of air quality monitoring stations should satisfy the following conditions:

The site should be representative of the area selected;

The station should be set up and operated so as to yield data that can be compared with

those from stations within the network; and,

Certain physical requirements should be satisfied at the site.

Sampling Stations

To select the air sampling locations, meteorological data with respect to temperature, relative

humidity, wind speed and direction plays a vital role. Predominant wind direction plays an

important role in determining location of monitoring stations. The monitoring station located in

area that is Downwind from the source. Location of Air sampling stations is shown below:

Sampling Procedure

Time averaged in – situ sampling was adopted by passing a known volume of air through a trap,

and a collecting medium (filter paper and bubbler). Respirable Dust Sampler was used for the

purpose.

This procedure was adopted because there are no short-term variations and low concentration

of gaseous pollutants was expected.

Analytical methods followed for ambient air quality monitoring:

I. Particulate Matter (PM2.5): (USEPA Quality Assurance Hand Book (Vol.II) Part II, Quality

Assurance Guideline Document,2.12): Particulate Matter (PM2.5) was analyzed by

Gravimetric Method. Particulate matter was collected on the 37 mm dia glass micro fiber

Filter Paper. PM2.5 value is determined from the values of volume of air passes through

Ambient Fine Dust Sampler.

II. Particulate Matter (PM10) (IS:5182 Part 23:2006): Particulate Matter (PM10) was carried

out by Respirable Dust sampler as per IS: 5182(Part 23):2006. Particulate matter was

collected on the GF/A Filter Paper. Particles with aerodynamics diameter less than the

cut-point of the inlet are collected by the filter. The mass of these particles is determined

by the difference in filter weight prior to and after sampling.

III. Sulphur dioxide (SO2) (IS: 5182; Part – II – 2001): Sulphur dioxide is absorbed by aspirating

a measured air sample through a solution of Potassium or sodium tetrachloromercurate,

TCM. This procedure results in the formation of a dichloro sulphite mercurate complex.

The Sulphite Ion produced during sampling is reacted with sulphamic acid, formaldehyde

and pararosaniline to form an azo dye and then determined colorimetricaly.

IV. Nitrogen Oxides (IS: 5182; Part – VI – 2006): Nitrogen dioxide is collected by bubbling air

through a sodium hydroxide- sodium arsenite solution to form a stable solution of sodium

Nitrite. The Nitrite Ion Produced during sampling is reacted with hydrogen peroxide,

Sulphanilamide and NEDA to form an azodye and then determined calorimetrically.

GEOLOGY & HYDROGEOLOGY

Geology

The Gurgaon district is occupied by Quaternary alluvium and Pre-Cambrian meta- sediments of

Delhi Super Group. The alluvium comprises of thick beds of fine to coarse-grained sand with

alternating layers of thin clays.

Hydrology


108


The major part of Gurgaon district is underlain by Quaternary alluvium consisting of sand, clay

and silt. The quartzite ridge trending NE-SW is located on the southeast corner, ground water

occurs in fractures, joints and crevices. Sandy layers at various depth form major water bearing

horizons above the crystalline basement. Ground water in the block occurs in unconfined and

semi confined condition. As per CGWB report, the upper zone of saturation consists of fine sand

with silt varying from place to place. In Udyog vihar and city area (close to northeastern periphery

of buffer zone), the depth of first aquifer varies from 34 to 43 m bgl. However, in industrial area

of Manesar (about 7 km towards southeast of the proposed area) top most aquifer can be

encountered at 20 m. The thickness of sandy layer is limited. The draw-down are generally high

indicating absence of highly potential ground water bearing aquifers. Tube wells in the depth

range of 45 to 90 m bgl have been installed by different agencies in the area. The yield of these

tube-wells varies in different areas ranging within 129 to 606 lpm.

The water level ranges between 20 and 30 m in major parts. Deeper water level has been

observed in Gurgaon and northern parts of Sohana area, which is due to Urbanization and

industrialization in these areas. The seasonal fluctuation is between –3.0 m to +4.10 m.

Groundwater Development

The water supply to the Gurgaon district is mainly based on groundwater through tube-wells.

Entire (100 %) urban population is covered under drinking water supply scheme. The water

supply to the villages is catered through the installation of hand pumps by the village households

as spot and convenient source of water. The shallow tube-wells for irrigation purpose in the

district range from 45 to 70m. deep, tapping the aquifer from 31m to 80 m. with a discharge of

400 to 1000 lpm. According to the CGWB report, the stage of ground water development for the

Gurgaon block is 308% implying that the buffer zone falls in over-exploited categories. The details

of ground water development in the relevant Gurgaon block is shown in the table given ahead —

WATER CONSERVATION & ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE –

There is an urgent need to take measures to arrest the decline of ground water level. The artificial

recharge to ground water is one of such measures. Whole of the district is suitable for artificial

recharge to ground water. Excess rain water in agricultural field, surplus canal water and rooftop

rain water can be recharged to ground water system. Recharging shafts and injection wells are

the most viable recharging structures suitable for the district.

Data Interpretation of Ground water quality:

The Ground water quality results clearly explains that:

Core Zone:

A) Ground water quality results interpretation

Ground water quality near site shows that the pH is in range of 7.9 for (W1) to 8 for (W2). Other

parameters like Alkalinity (328 mg/l) for W1 & (352 mg/l) for W2 is higher than the limit of

IS:10500 standard of drinking water standards. Other parameters for W1 and W2 are within the

limit of IS:10500 standards of drinking water.

Buffer zone is taken as the area within 10 km radius from the proposed project site. Collected

samples are from ground water sources.

In Buffer zone ground water collected shows that the pH ranges from 7.7 – 8.

Parameters for W3, TDS (782.3mg/l) & Alkalinity (560mg/l),) are higher than the drinking water

standards.

Parameters for W4, TDS (533 mg/l), & Alkanity (368 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water

standards.

Parameters for W5, TDS (813.2 mg/l), Nitrate Nitrogen (215.90 mg/l) & Alkanity (448 mg/l) are

higher than the drinking water standards.

Parameters for W6, Chlorine (439.86 mg/l), Nitrate Nitrogen (109.73 mg/l) Total Hardness (700

mg/l) & Alkanity (480 mg/l) are higher than the drinking water standards.

The Results are further explained as per parameter in both core zone and buffer zone:

❖ The Total Dissolved Solids of the sampling location W3- Sihi Village (782.3 mg/l), W4 -

Sikanderpur Village (533 mg/l) & W5 -Hayatpur Village (813.2 mg/l) are found above than the

drinking water standards (IS:10500) due to increased dissolution or evaporative enrichment.

Human activities may also have affected the TDS levels in ground water i.e. application of

synthetic fertilizers, manures, and wastewater percolation can all contribute salt to

groundwater.

High values of TDS influence the taste, hardness, and corrosive property of the water and

causes excessive scaling in water pipes, heaters, boilers, and household appliances


114


❖ The Total Hardness at W6- Badha Village (700 mg/l) is found to be higher than the drinking

water standards (IS:10500). The hardness contributed due to seepage and run off from soil.

Hardness is normally considered an aesthetic water quality factor because of the unpleasant

taste that a high concentration of calcium and other ions give to water. It reduces the ability

of soap to produce lather and cause scale formation in pipes and on plumbing fixtures.

❖ The Calcium Concertation in the areas like W6- Badha Village (108.8 mg/l) is found to be

higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). High calcium levels may adversely affect

the absorption of essential minerals in the body.

❖ The Magnesium Concertation in the areas W6- Badha Village (104.0 mg/l) is found to be

higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500). Magnesium at high concentration

contributes to undesirable taste and may have laxative effect.

❖ The Alkalinity in the areas near site W1 (328 mg/l), W2 (352 mg/l) , W3- Sihi Village (560

mg/l), W4 -Sikanderpur Village (368 mg/l) & W5 – Hayatpur Village (448 mg/l) and W6 –

Badha Village (480 mg/l) are found to be higher than the drinking water standards (IS:10500).

due to Bicarbonate released through dissolution of carbonate minerals, seepage and runoff

from soil. Anthropogenic sources of alkalinity include limestone applied to fields to increase

soil pH. Other sources like domestic waste can contribute to high alkalinity. High levels of

alkalinity lead to objectionable taste, or precipitation of scale in pipes and containers. Chronic

effect being necrosis of cells.

3.9.1 Sampling procedure & Analysis:

Augur method was used and samples were collected at 15 cm depth after removing the upper

crust. Sample from each spot were well mixed with hand on a clean polythene sheet. About 1 kg

of soil was retained after process of quartering. This sample was kept for some time for air-drying

at room temperature, stored in polythene bag with label at the top.

The soil samples were separately analysed for physical and chemical parameters. The physical

parameters included – colour, texture, physical composition, moisture content, conductivity, bulk

density and porosity. The chemical parameters included 15 parameters, the key parameters

included - pH, nitrogen, phosphorus, calcium, magnesium and organic contents. As mentioned

above, in all 13 samples (1 from core zone and 12 from buffer zone) were taken. The analysis report

is being given in 4 part – Part 1 (Table 3.22A - S1 to S7 Physical Quality)); Part 2 (Table 3.23B- S1 to

Data interpretation of Soil Quality results core & buffer zone - Physical Quality

Texture of soil is Silt Loam & Silty clay loam. Soil texture is one of the most important physical

properties of soil that affects its fertility and productivity. The whole soil environment is

regulated by soil texture. Soil texture governs most of the properties of the soil, its permeability,

its capacity to retain water, its degree of aeration, its ability to make the nutrients stored in the

clay-humus complex available to plants, its ability to withstand mechanical working of the top

soil, and finally, its ability to support a permanent plant cover. In present case soil texture clearly

indicates that the soil in core zone contains high percentage of silt which cannot hold water and

nutrients and makes soil less fertile. So, the trees which can grow in these conditions can be

planted. There was no significant difference in the physical quality of core and buffer zone

samples.

Data interpretation of Soil quality results core & buffer zone

Core Zone:

The result shows that colour is Dull Brown, pH is 9.2. The availability of many plant nutrients in

the soil changes as a result of reactions in the soil, which are largely controlled by soil pH.

Amount of primary nutrient like Organic matter 0.5 %, the available nitrogen 123.2 mg/kg is lower

in range, available potassium 46.5 mg/kg is lower in range while the available phosphorus 27.1

mg/kg is High in range. Primary nutrient profile shows that soil is low in fertility due to the

availability of low amount of nitrogen and potassium. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer

element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element encourages above

ground vegetative growth and gives a deep green colour to the leaves & Potassium is the third

essential fertilizer element and it is essential for photosynthesis, for protein synthesis, for starch

formation and for the translocation of sugars. So, the addition of bio fertilizers will enhance the

fertility of soil.


121


Buffer Zone:

The result shows that texture of soil has silt Loam texture. Colour is brown, pH ranges from 7.7

to 9.2. Amount of primary nutrient like Organic matter 0.9% to 1.4%, the available nitrogen 100.4

mg/kg to 143.3 mg/kg, the available phosphorus is 30.0 mg/kg to 45.8 mg/kg is medium to high

in range while available potassium 36.5 mg/kg to 81.0 mg/kg is lower to high in range, Primary

nutrient profile shows that soil is low in fertility due to the availability of low amount of nitrogen,

available potassium.

Primary nutrient profile shows average fertile soil along the stretch. Nitrogen is the most

important fertilizer element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element

encourages above ground vegetative growth and gives a deep green color to the leaves &

Potassium is the third essential fertilizer element and it is essential for photosynthesis, for protein

synthesis, for starch formation and for the translocation of sugars. So, the addition of bio

fertilizers will enhance the fertility of soil.

TOPOGRAPHY

TOPOGRAPHY

The area is by and large flat topography, excepting mild ruggedness on the south- west to south-

eastern extremity of buffer zone. This area is marked by NE-SW trending ridges and

corresponding valleys. The highest point in this undulating land is about 339 mRL almost on the

periphery of buffer zone in the South. The buffer zone depicts a general slope towards north. The

lowest point of buffer zone is 209 mRL situated close to periphery in the north. The proposed site

or core zone is situated on a land having RL around 223-229 m.

Drainage

The buffer zone is highly cress-crossed by net work of roads, consequently, disturbing the natural

drainage pattern of the area. However, as aforementioned, the by and large slope is towards

north. The alluvial plain is formed by the Sahibi River, which is tributary of River Yamuna. Soils of

the area are classified as tropical and brown soils. The soils are medium textured loamy sand is

the average texture. The organic content is 0.2 to 0.40 percent and falls in low category.

LAND USE

3.11.1 Introduction

As per the mandatory requirements, the mapping of Land use and Land cover of the area falling

within the 10 sq. km of the proposed site is undertaken with the help of Topographical data,

Satellite data and field studies Land use and Land cover of the buffer zone is prepared.

3.11.2 Methodology

The land use / land cover map is prepared by adopting the interpretation techniques of the image

in conjunction with collateral data such as Satellite Images and field records. Image classification

can be done by using visual interpretation techniques and digital classification using any of the

image processing software. For the present study –GIS software is used for pre-processing,

rectification, enhancements and classifying the satellite data for preparation of land use land

cover map for assessing and monitoring the temporal changes in land use land cover and land

developmental activities.

The imagery is interpreted and ground checked for corrections. The final map is prepared after

field check.

3.11.3 Image Extraction:

Satellite imageries for the area of Interest were created through Image processing software.

3.11.4 Geo-Rectification:

Geometric correction includes correction for geometric distortions due to sensor, earth geometry

variations and conversion of the data to real world coordinates (e.g. Latitude and Longitude) on

the Earth’s surface. The satellite imagery was geometrically rectified with reference to the geo-

referenced toposheets and vector data.

3.11.5 Image Enhancement:

Image enhancement is one of the important image processing functions primarily done to

improve the appearance of the imagery to assist in visual interpretation and analysis. Various

options of image enhancement techniques were tried out to get the best image for visual


123


interpretation. Histogram equalized stretch enhancement techniques was applied to the imagery

of the study area for better interpretation of different features in the satellite imagery.

3.11.6 Interpretation of Satellite Image

Visual interpretation technique has been used for digitization of geographical feature for

different land use and vegetation cover classes based on spatial pattern of geographic feature.

Spectral signature represents various land use class. Image interpretation keys are developed

based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow, association

etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature. Statics of geographic

feature has been developing for impact assessment due to project activity.

3.11.7 Result and Conclusion:

The land use/ land cover map has been generated on 1:50,000 scale using Satellite Images,

topographical maps, Survey of India and ground truth information. Based on the methodology

developed for the present land use/ land cover, categories have been grouped under the

following major land use/land cover categories.

FLORA AND FAUNA

Biological Environment

A natural ecosystem is a complete community of living organisms and non-living constituents in a

given area and their interactions. An ecosystem has self-sustaining ability and controls the number

of organisms at any level by cybernetic rules. The basic purpose to explore the biological

environment under Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to assess the potential ecological

impacts of the proposed project upon ecology and develop adequate mitigation measures to keep

ecological impacts within acceptable limits. An ecological survey of the study area was conducted,

particularly with reference to listing of species and assessment of the existing baseline ecological

conditions in the study area. The main objective of the ecological survey is aimed at assessing the


127


existing flora and fauna components in the study area. Data has been collected through extensive

survey of the area with reference to flora and fauna.

With the change in environmental conditions, the vegetation cover as well as animals reflects

several changes in its structure, density and composition. The present study was carried out

separately for floral and faunal community of core and buffer zone respectively.

Need to study:

The present study was undertaken with the following objectives:

• To assess the nature and distribution of vegetation in and around the project site (within

10 km. radii)

• To assess the animal life spectra (within 10 km radii)

To achieve the above objectives a study area was undertaken. The different methods adopted

were as follows:

• Compilation of secondary data with respect to the study area from published literature

and various government agencies;

• Generation of primary data by undertaking systematic ecological studies in the area.

• Selection of Sampling Location for the study of Flora and Fauna:

• Core Zone: Core zone is the area where project is to be constructed. The proposed project

is a Group Housing “Spaze Privy AT4” at Village Sihi, Sector 84, Gurgaon, Haryana. All the

flora and fauna of core zone has been recorded during the survey.

• Buffer Zone: The zone falling with in 10Km radius around the project area. For sampling

purpose, buffer zone is further divided in 2 Km and 5 Km. Patches of flora is studied in 3

locations within 2 km, 3 locations within 5 Km. Location of flora is given below. Fauna is

recorded randomly.

The proposed project is a Group Housing “Spaze Privy AT4” at Village Sihi, Sector 84, Gurgaon,

Haryana. No Forest falling within the Buffer Zone. Water Bodies within the Buffer Zone are

Najafgarh Drain (10.78 Km, N), Ghata or Badshapur Nadi (3.62 Km, NE), Nala near Dhankot (7.26

Km, N), Nala near Basai Dhankot Rly Station (7.29 Km, NE). This area not come under any eco-

sensitivity zone.

Methodology for study of Flora

During the study, the floral composition of the area was evaluated through primary survey. The

local inhabitants were also consulted to get extra information. Plant Species are counted and

identified within core zone with the help of quadrate method. The size of the quadrate was based

on the area size. For the survey 10 X 10 m plot are selected for vegetation analysis and for the

buffer zone estimated with the help of line transect and random survey method.

Data Interpretation

ENDANGERED SPECIES

There is only one ‘’Schedule I’’ Species found in buffer zone namely Pavo cristatus (Indian

Peafowl). As a matter of fact, three “Schedule II” species were also reported in the buffer zone

namely Herpestes edwardsii (Common Mongoose), Naja naja (Indian Cobra) and Macaca mullatta

(Rhesus macaque).

SOCIO ECONOMIC SCENARIO

Study has been conducted based on the details collected through secondary sources (mainly

census 2011) and through primary data collected from the site visits. The socio-economic profile

has been compiled from census data, 2011, while primary verification has been carried out by

using sample survey.

For secondary data, as the study area is large so the study has been carried out at district/ tehsil

level representing the whole study area for detailed socio-economic analysis. The analysis was

done using data from census of India, 2011 as secondary source and using physical site survey as

primary data. For field survey, 5 villages were selected for conducting the survey from nearby areas

of the site.

Concept & Definitions

a. Study Area: The study area, also known as impact area has been defined as the sum total

of core area and buffer area with a distance of 10 Kilometres from the periphery of the

core area. The study area includes all the land marks both natural and manmade, falling

therein.


135


b. QoL: The Quality of Life (QoL) refers to degree to which a person enjoys the important

possibilities of his/her life. The ‘Possibilities’ result from the opportunities and limitations,

each person has in his/her life and reflect the interaction of personal and environmental

factors. Enjoyment has two components: the experience of satisfaction and the possession

or achievement of some characteristic.

c. Household: A group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a

common kitchen are called a household. Persons living in a household may be related or

unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of related or unrelated persons live in a

house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not part of a

common household. Each such person is treated as a separate household. There may be

one-member households, two member households or multi-member households.

d. Sex Ratio: Sex ratio is the ratio of females to males in a given population. It is expressed as

'number of females per 1000 males'.

e. Literates: All persons aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with

understanding in any language are taken as literate. It is not necessary for a person to have

received any formal education or passed any minimum educational standard for being

treated as literate. People who are blind but can read in Braille are also treated as literates.

f. Literacy Rate: Literacy rate of population is defined as the percentage of literates to the

total population aged 7 years and above.

g. Labour Force: The labour force is the number of people employed and unemployed in a

geographical entity. The size of the labour force is the sum total of persons employed and

unemployed. An unemployed person is defined as a person not employed but actively

seeking work. Normally, the labour force of a country consists of everyone of working age

(around 14 to 16 years) and below retirement (around 65 years) that are participating

workers, that is people actively employed or seeking employment. People not counted

under labour force are students, retired persons, stay-at home people, people in prisons,

permanently disabled persons and discouraged workers.

h. Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or

without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental


136


in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and

direction of work. The work may be part time, full time, or unpaid work in a farm, family

enterprise or in any other economic activity.

i. Worker: All persons engaged in 'work' are defined as workers. Persons who are engaged

in cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as

workers.

j. Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period

(i.e. 6 months or more in the case of a year) are termed as Main Workers.

k. Marginal Workers: Those workers who did not work for the major part of the reference

period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as Marginal Workers

l. Work participation rate: The work participation rate is the ratio between the labour force

and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range). In the

present study the work participation rate is defined as the percentage of total workers

(main and marginal) to total population.

Study Area

The study area means villages in 10 km radius of the proposed project. Topographical map and

Google earth maps were used to identify the villages/ wards in 10 km radius.

As a matter of fact, maximum surrounding area is part of rural inhabitation. A total of 40 villages

and four urban area in Gurgaon district falls within the study area. The total population of the

study area is 173924 constituting 35680 households. The sex ratio of the study area as per census

2011 records at 787, whereas the sex ratio of the districts Gurgaon involved is 854.

TRAFFIC DENSITY

Preliminary Traffic Assessment: The estimated traffic in the proposed project is driven by the trip

generated by the proposed land use within the project area. The estimated traffic is then appropriately

assigned on the networks to obtain the quantum of traffic that will be handled by the road network.

The following key issues are identified by the Government —

Strengthening and development of roads network.

Development of alternate road link.

Developing of parking facilities.

With an ever-increasing urbanization, road traffic is also increasing.

The traffic study was done in the nearby road ascertain the present traffic was on the road and

thereafter impact be because of addition of traffic due to the Spaze privy AT 4 project.

PCU values are used to convert various vehicles in to one standard vehicles i.e. Passenger car units

(PCU). The PCU values as per IRC are as given below —

Chapter 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION

MEASURES

Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment

studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of

developmental activities on physical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Such

predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to

derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction of impacts

helps to minimize the adverse impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project

execution.

Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary

impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project and secondary impacts are those,

which are indirectly induced and typically include the associated investment and changed patterns

of social and economic activities by the proposed actions.

For the proposed project, the impacts assessment shall be performed in following steps:

• Identification of interactions between activities and environmental receptors.

• Identification of potentially significant environmental impacts.

Chapter 6: ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PLAN

An Environment Monitoring Plan is prepared for construction as well as the operation phase. It

provides a delivery mechanism to address the adverse environmental impacts of a project during

its execution, to enhance project benefits, and to introduce standards of good practice to be

adopted for all project works. An environmental monitoring program is important as it provides

useful information and helps to:

• Assist in detecting the development of any unwanted environmental situation, and thus,

provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures, and

• Define the responsibilities of the project proponents, contractors and environmental

monitors and provides means of effectively communicating environmental issues among

them.

• Define monitoring mechanism and identify monitoring parameters.

• Evaluate the performance and effectiveness of mitigation measures proposed in the

Environment Management Plan (EMP) and suggest improvements in management plan, if

required,

• Identify training requirement at various levels.

various studies considered which directly or indirectly affects the construction and operation stage

of the project. The studies assessed for the following additional Details Includes

• Risk Assessment

• Geo Technical Investigation

• Traffic Study

• Public Consultation – Not Applicable

Risk Assessment

Risk is a potential that a chosen action or activity will lead to a loss of human or property. However,

Hazard is a situation that poses a level of threat to life health or environment.

Risk assessment is a term used to describe the overall process or method where you:

Identify hazards and risk factors that have the potential to cause harm.

Analyse and evaluate the risk associated with that hazard.

Determine appropriate ways to eliminate the hazard, or control the risk when the hazard cannot be

eliminated.

A risk assessment is a thorough look at your workplace to identify those things, situations,

processes, etc. that may cause harm, particularly to people. After identification is made, you analyse

and evaluate how likely and severe the risk is. When this determination is made, you can next,

decide what measures should be in place to effectively eliminate or control the harm from

happening.

Risk assessment involves the following:

• Hazard Identification

• Vulnerability Analysis

• Risk Analysis

• Emergency Preparedness Plan

SEWAGE SYSTEM:

SCHEME OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT:

As stated earlier the wastewater generation from complete complex shall be 355 KLD which shall

be treated in 400 KLD Sewage Treatment Plant based on FAB Technology. The Sewage Treatment

Plant based on FAB technology offered has some distinct advantages over conventional activated

sludge processes. The scheme is proven, under a variety of operating conditions, and is highly

flexible in operation.

The characteristics of raw sewage and the characteristics required for the treated water will be as

given below:

RAW SEWAGE CHARACTERISTICS

TREATED SEWAGE CHARACTERISTICS

pH - 6.5 – 8.5

BOD mg / l <10

Flow M3 / day 355

pH - 7.0 – 8.5

BOD mg / l 200-300

COD mg / l 400-500

TSS mg / l 100

Oil & Grease mg / l 10


228

COD mg / l <60

TSS mg / l < 10

Oil & Grease mg / l < 10

Following description gives the salient features of the STP:

1. Small space requirement

The concept of compact sewage treatment plant is promoted so that expensive conventional

treatment is dispensed herewith. The treatment scheme is also versatile, in the sense that units can

be re-arranged in any way in which the space and pile caps are available.

2. Lower operating power requirements

The system utilizes aeration tanks of much smaller size, thereby reducing the overall power required

in aerating the raw sewage. Since the bio-reactor depth is more, efficient transfer of oxygen takes

place, thereby reducing the overall power consumed in treatment.

3. Simplicity in operation and maintenance

The system adopted has much less moving parts (only pumps and blowers). Further there is no

moving part inside the bio-reactor. This gives the advantage of continuously running the bio-reactor

system, under widely fluctuating conditions. All the maintenance on the mechanical systems can be

done with normal skilled mechanics available.

The system is unique in operation, such that, only inlet and outlet parameters (i.e. raw sewage BOD

/ COD / TSS /TP and treated sewage BOD / COD / TSS / TP etc.) need to be analysed. Since the bio-

reactor is self-sustaining, there is no requirement of recycling the biomass from the secondary

clarifier. Hence, analysis such as MLSS / MLVSS / SVI (sludge volume index) / F / M ratio etc. is not

required to be done. This greatly reduces the analytical load on the plant chemist / supervisor, and

makes the system very simple to operate and control.

4. Removal of Nutrients & coliform

The bio-reactor system adopted in the FAB based STP is provided with nutrients removal, and

removal of disease causing E-coli bacteria.

Nutrient removal

The bio-reactor system operates at very food to micro-organisms ratio (F / M ratio). This helps in

totally converting the Ammonicals nitrogen to nitrate nitrogen. In the process of synthesis of organic


229

substrate, about 40 – 50% of the total phosphates load is also reduced. The remaining phosphates

can be precipitated by addition of aluminum ions dosed in form of Poly Aluminum Chloride (PAC).

Phosphates react with aluminum ions and precipitate as aluminum phosphate, which is an insoluble

salt. Thus the total phosphates load can be easily reduced by more than 90%.

Coliform removal

The outlet BOD of the bio-reactor system being very low (in other words, hardly any food is available

to the E-coli), most of the coliform are killed in the reactor itself. The treated sewage outlet coliform

count will conform to WHO standards.

5. Sludge handling

The sludge generated in the bio-reactors is totally digested. Since the F / M ratio in the bio-reactors

is very low, the excess sludge generation is lower than compared to the conventional ASP system.

Normally, this sludge is anaerobically digested to stabilize the organic matter. The present system

does not envisage any sludge digestion (since the sludge is aerobically stabilized in the bioreactors

itself), making the system more suitable for operation with less manpower.

The excess sludge is separated in the secondary clarifier, and then disposed off either on drying

beds, or can be directly used as soil conditioner.

9.2.2.1 TREATMENT PROCESS

The sewage is first passed through a Bar Screen Chamber & an Oil & Grease Chamber where any

extraneous / floating matter gets trapped.

The sewage is then collected in a Receiving Sump where the variations in flow and characteristics

are dampened, which otherwise can lead to operational problems and moreover it allows a constant

flow rate downstream. Here the sewage is kept in mixed condition by means of coarse air bubble

diffusion.

The equalized sewage is then pumped to the Fluidized Aerobic Bed Reactors(FAB) where BOD/COD

reduction is achieved by virtue of aerobic microbial activities. The FAB reactors run in series. The

oxygen required is supplied through coarse air bubble diffusers.

The excess bio-solids formed in the biological process, which are separated in the downstream Plate

Settler Tank. The clear supernatant is sent to the tertiary treatment section comprising of a Dual

Media Filter and an Activated Carbon Filter, and UV disinfections system. If needed Softener shall


230

be provided. The biological sludge generated from the FAB, which is settled in the Plate Settler, is

drained through the Filter Press.

9.2.2.2 HYDRAULIC FLOW DIAGRAM OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT

RAIN WATER HARVESTING

The main source of ground water recharging in the study area is rainwater, which infiltrates into the

ground through various lithological units present in the study area. 11 nos. of Rain Water Harvesting

pits are proposed in the complex. Structure of all pits has already been constructed

Scheme for Ground Water Recharging

The rainwater will be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface / underground

drainage network. The entire campus will be sub divided for recharging structures. The rainwater

will be diverted into the de-silting tank to remove inorganic impurities and the outflow of the de-

silting tank is taken into the recharge well.

De-silting Tank

The de-silting tanks will be used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater. De-

silting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and overflow. Apart

from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge structure.

The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface (layers of coarse sand) to allow standing water to

percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these de-silting chambers shall be utilized for

horticulture.


231

Recharge well

The Recharge Well consist the pit with 150 mm UPVC perforated pipe will be lowered in the middle

of the boreholes and the pit will be filled with gravel and pebbles consisting of boulders, gravel and

coarse sand. The mouth of the PVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into it. The depth of

the bore will depend on the soil condition/water strata. The schematic diagram is enclosed. It should

be therefore concluded that there is no significant impact on surface water quality & hydrology of

the area. The proposed rainwater-harvesting scheme will stabilize the groundwater table in the

area.

Maintenance plan for rainwater harvesting pits: All the storm water drains will be kept clean and

contaminated water would be diverted into the storm water drains.

• No contaminated water will be diverted into the storm water drains. Necessary peripheral

drains will be constructed to divert the runoff to the recharge structures.

• Before the onset of the monsoon all the catchment area considered for recharge would be

cleaned and the recharge structures will be in operation during the monsoon season only so

as to avoid any contamination.

• A mesh will be provided on the mouth of the inlet to discard the debris entering into the

recharge pit. A sluice/ shutter will be provided to ensure that no water other than rainwater

is diverted to the recharge structure.

• Depth and location of the recharge wells may vary slightly as per the prevailing site

conditions.

• After the first rain the de-silting pit will be cleaned and subsequently on the onset of next

monsoon. A hygienic condition in the area would be maintained after implementation of

artificial recharge structures, as the recharged water will augment the water level in the

proposed tube wells.

• Harvesting pit shall be clean 2 times in year. All filter media should be cleaned properly. Will

be cleaned every week during rainy season.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT

9.4.1 DURING FUTURE CONSTRUCTION PHASE


During the construction stage, expected noise level is in the range of 80-100 dB (A) which decreases

with increase in distance. Hence all the construction activities were carried out during the daytime.

➢ During the construction stage, all the construction activities were carried out during the

daytime.

➢ The noise due to the construction activities was limited only for specified period of

construction. However, there is buffer zone between the site and the road, which has been

developed as green area and which was further reducing the impact on ambient noise due

to the construction.

➢ DG set of 125 KVA used in construction was acoustically enclosed.


235

➢ Ear Muffs were provided to labor working in high noise areas.

➢ All the machineries were maintained regularly to reduce the noise level.


• During the construction stage, expected noise level is in the range of 80-100 dB (A). Hence

all the construction activities shall be carried out during the daytime.

• All the machinery and equipment shall be regularly maintained to reduce the noise level.

• Due to the construction activity for the project there will be some noise generation due to

the movement of vehicles carrying construction materials and as this will be only a

temporary phenomenon, it will be managed by properly regulating the movement of

vehicular traffic so that the ambient air quality with respect to noise is not adversely

affected.

• To prevent any occupational hazard, ear muff / ear plug shall be given to the workers

working around or operating the plant and machinery emitting high noise levels. Operation

of such plant or machinery shall be strictly be prohibited during night hours. Careful planning

of machinery operation and scheduling of operations shall be done to minimize such impact.

• DG sets of capacity 125 KVA shall be installed acoustically enclosed. Noise barriers shall be

installed to reduce traffic noise & vibrations & Green belt shall be developed.

9.4.2 DURING OPERATIONAL PHASE

The main source of the noise pollution will be DG sets. DG sets of capacity 2 X 1010 KVA,1 X 750

KVA & 1 X 500 KVA shall be provided acoustically enclosed and kept in acoustically treated room in

surface.

• The DG sets shall be properly & timely maintained & fitted with residential silencer and shall

be bought acoustically enclosed in a room in surface.

• Plantation of trees at the parks and boundary of the campus will also reduce the level of

outside noise.

• No honking zone shall be maintained.

• For vibration control, DG Sets shall be mounted on the Anti-vibration pads to eliminate/limit

the vibrations due to DG sets running.

Insulation of air inlet and outlet points


236

The sound travels along with air therefore it is necessary to control the travelling sound with the

help of insulated ducts [2” glass wool pads and perforated sheets] and louvers at inlet and outlet

air points. The ducts have S-type shape to prevent any direct escape of noise Insulated service door

The maintenance and servicing of D.G. set is done using a suitable service door of 5’ x 7’ size. The

door is made of MS sheet and frames fully insulated with 3” thick glass wool pad followed by

perforated aluminum sheets.
