2.7 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish

details of the facilities created. ANS:

The area considered for water harvesting are Residential, Commercial, public/semipublic, recreational, industrial where built up structures will come up. Run off generated from each building Roof Top will be collected through independent system. A separate underground pipe line (Trunk Line) will be lay down along the arterial and sub arterial roads. It will be connected to nearest ponds or storages. The roof top runoff collected is let to go in water chambers. The Runoff is then, allowed to join the nearest Water Harvesting line. Finally the line is joining to main Trunk line. This would carry it to existingpond within the township area. As per the calculation considering the factors written in Rain Water harvesting Scheme, peak hourly roof top runoff generating in township is estimated as 261777 Cum at the rate of 30mm/h rainfall.

2.8 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the

proposed project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?

ANS: Paved areas will increase the run-off potential of the site. The storm water system is designed on maximum rainfall intensity of the area. Runoff will be channelized properly through storm water drain and rain water harvesting pits will recharge the ground water. No water logging or flooding is expected due to proposed development.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be

tapping of ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained from competent authority, if any).

ANS: Township will be partially dependent on ground water for supply of potable water, due to which several likely impacts on the resource can be encountered which are listed below: (1) The decline of water table due to higher rate of withdrawal than of the rate of

recharge.

(2) Effect on water quality is terms of higher mineralization due to long term withdrawal.



(3) Higher energy consumption for pumping due to decline in water table.

(4) Long term local hydro-geological impacts.

(5) Competition with other users will increase stress on the ground water resource and can even lead to overexploitation.

The effect of ground water withdrawal will be countered by rain water harvesting to some extent. The layout plan of proposed Hi-Tech township has been prepared keeping in mind on priority the installation of efficient water harvesting system and utilization of existing pond as recharge structure. Estimated amount available for harvesting is found to be 261777 Cum at the rate of 30mm/h rainfall.

2.10 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction

activities polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts).

ANS: Following measures are adopted to avoid land degradation, soil erosion and subsequent pollution of land and aquifers: i) Side drains have been proposed on sides of the roads to facilitate drainage,

which will, in turn, minimize soil erosion. The drains will have gentle gradient and side slopes to carry rainwater without erosion. The drains will be designed as per CPHEEO manual/U.P Jal Nigam;

ii) Construction during monsoon season will be avoided as far as possible;

iii) Community toilets shall be constructed on the site during construction phase and the waste water will be channelized to the septic tank in order to prevent it from entering into the natural water bodies;

iv) Surplus excavated material shall not be dumped haphazardly, but will be utilized for making roads, for filling in the built-up areas and landscaping.

v) Wherever possible, vegetative cover shall be immediately established on cut/ fills slopes.

vi) The responsibility of the maintenance agency will be to collect, carry, sort and finally dispose off the solid waste so that contamination is negligible.

2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions

made to avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels)

ANS: The storm water from within the site will be managed through laying out proper storm water drainage system. The rainwater from the terraces of all the buildings and green areas shall be collected and led to the rain water harvesting system. The water from roads, parking, open areas and overflow from the rain water harvesting systems shall be led to storm water drains for disposal. Therefore, there are two drainage systems- sewerage and External rain water (road, parking & RWH to storm water drains). Moreover, the planning is so done to take advantage of the natural



ground gradient to manage surface and ground water. 2.12 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period

lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation)

ANS: Deployment of construction laborers will not lead to unsanitary conditions as temporary sanitation facilities will be provided to the labour to prevent unhygienic condition. a) Community toilets are constructed on the site during construction phase and the

waste water will be channelized to the septic tank in order to prevent it from entering into the water bodies.

b) Minor construction waste generated, most of which is recyclable and sellable to recycling vendors. Remaining waste is disposed in designated landfill site.

2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe

disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal)

ANS: The ultimate sewage generation envisaged for the project is 38.59 MLD. The proposed treatment technology has been upgraded from FAB to SBR. Separate sewage and drainage system will be laid for the various sector of the township. The sewage will be collected in ‘housing connecting chamber’ and further will flow to sewage pumping station where it will be pumped to STP for treatment. Treated wastewater will be utilized in flushing for the group housing and for watering green areas in the premises.

2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated wastewater is used for flushing

of toilets or any other use. ANS: Integrated dual plumbing system is not feasible this being a township project.

However, individual group housing pockets will be given provision for dual plumbing system.

3. VEGETATION 3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the

local ecosystem with it’s unique features, if any) ANS: The project area falls under the area designated for township development as per

the Sikandrabad approved master plan 2021. The area is free from any forest land. However a healthy environment has been planned with the help of green cover development over 360 acres of the net planning area encompassing modest 15.09 % of the total land. Plantation around the existing ponds. This will be a new habitat for small rodents, reptiles, mammals and a wide variety of avifauna thus, enhancing the biodiversity of the area. One pond / water body as located within the project area is being maintained and retained as per present situation. Water bodies will be developed over an area of about 15.37acres.

3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation?

(Provide a detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project). ANS: No. there has been no major clearance of vegetation involved. There are small



shrubs, grasses and herbs, which are cleared off before starting any construction work. For every tree felled, compensatory plantation shall be done along with the proposed large area for parks, green belt , gardening etc.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on

important site features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale).

ANS: Healthy environs will be created with the help of green cover development on 360 acres of land area. The actual green area could be much higher though, since there will be green areas along roads, open space etc. It will be a new habitat for birds and the biodiversity of the area is likely to grow. 30 m green belt along the Kot escape is proposed;

Various activities in green areas include nursery development and plantation of medicinal and aromatic plants of economic value;

Sector level parks will be developed with mix of shrubs, hedge rows, seasonal plants;

Parks will have the mix of shrubs, hedge rows and large plants;

Plants for both sides of roads chosen will have high value of absorption of pollutants.

Green Nodes will be created where the green fingers end connecting it to the green spine.

Retaining and planting the indigenous trees.

The landscape plan can be seen in Annexure IX. 4. FAUNA 4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna- both terrestrial and aquatic or

creation of barriers for their movement? Provide the details ANS: No, there will not be such displacement. No negative impact on terrestrial eco-

system comprising birds and animals are anticipated. On the contrary, with progressive growth of greenery, terrestrial micro-habitats will develop in the long run. No aquatic body will be altered or be used for sewage disposal.

4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details ANS: No direct impact on avifauna is anticipated. Due to the provision of the green area

and plantation on the project site, it is expected that site will attract avifauna as well as small fauna such as squirrels, lizards, chameleon, etc.

4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse

impacts on fauna ANS: The project is not going to displace any aquatic habitat and hence these measures



need not be taken. 5. AIR ENVIRONMENT 5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat

islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions)

ANS: The heat island effect shall be countered by plantation of trees which shall keep the micro climate cool. The builtup will come up in the direction of wind creating tunneling effect. Central area development will ensure the wind is not blocked but circulated all around the site. Water bodies present will cool the air as it flowes across. But there will be increase in fugitive emissions due to earthmovers and construction equipments and transportation of raw materials during construction phase only. And during operational phase there will be increased movement of vehicles for the resident’s daily activities. However, with the rules and regulations pertaining to vehicular emissions enforced by the Government of India, these emissions shall always be within the permissible limits.
