This is a new building construction project having plot area of 37,231.0 m2 and the proposed built up area of 1,13,465.67 m2. As the built up area is >20,000 m2 and <1,50,000 m2, it falls in the category 8(a) of the Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006.

The project proponent had earlier applied for building construction project having plot area of 25,152.68 m2 and built up area of 78,871.04 m2. But during the meeting it was presented the existing plot area of 25,152.68 m2 is increased to 37,231.0 m2 due to addition of new plot no. 3 and built up area will be 1,13,465.67 m2. The presentation was made based on the revised details of the project.

This is a proposed residential building construction project having plot area of 37,231.0 m2 and the proposed built up area of 1,13,465.67 m2.The project will comprise of 15 residential buildings with 22 blocks housing total 1056 nos. of flats. Scope of 5 buildings will be basement + hollow plinth + 12 floors and scope of 10 buildings will be hollow plinth + 12 floors with maximum building height of 39.50 m.

During construction phase, fresh water requirement of 16.0 KL/day will be met through water tankers and 2.4 KL/day of washing water of construction equipment will be reused for curing. Domestic wastewater to be generated will be disposed off through septic tank/soak pit system. Out of the total water requirement of 740.5 KL/day during the operation phase, fresh water requirement of 543.50 KL/day shall be met through water supply from VUDA (Vadodara Urban Development Authority) and remaining 197.0 KL/day(flushing and gardening water requirement) will be met through treated grey sewage. Total waste water generation during the operation phase will be 579.64 KL/day. They have proposed to segregate grey & black water and to install STP for treatment of grey sewage. Treated grey sewage-197 KL/day will be reused for flushing and gardening purpose whereas only the remaining quantity of treated grey sewage and black water will be discharged into the drainage line of VUDA. Municipal solid waste to the tune of 3,168 Kg/day to be generated will be finally disposed off through the VUDA. It is proposed to provide total parking space of 18,254.0 m2 [7,407.0 m2 in hollow plinth, 6,386.0 m2 in basement and 4,461.0 m2 as open surface parking] equivalent to 659 ECS, which is more than the GDCR requirement of 13,889.0 m2 and the NBC requirement of 648 ECS. 4 nos. of D.G.sets of 125 KVA using HSD at the rate of 55 lit/hr each will be used in case of power failure during the operation phase.

Measures like regular water sprinkling, covered shed for cement unloading, covering the excavated earth with tarpaulin sheet etc. have been proposed as dust control measures during construction phase. Energy conservation measures like maximum utilization of natural light, reflective / white tiles on terrace floor, LED lighting fixtures in the common areas, use of solar energy in external lighting etc. has been proposed. Use of fly ash bricks, aerated blocks, paving blocks, lead free paints etc. has been proposed during construction phase. Underground static water storage tank of 75 KL capacity, fire extinguishers, hose reel, wet riser, automatic sprinkler system in basement, manually operated electric fire alarm system, automatic detection and alarm system etc. are proposed as fire safety measures. The nearest fire station of Waghodia is @ 5 Km away from the project site and the fire tender will take about 10-15 minutes to reach the project site. Provision of Personal Protective Equipments, first aid box, free medicines, doctor service along with the basic amenities like tap water, sanitation & drinking water facilities, lunch space will be provided for construction workers. Rain water harvesting from rooftop and paved areas and ground water recharge through 18 nos. of percolating wells is proposed to be carried out. It is proposed to develop green belt area comprising of 1,037.0 m2 tree covered area and 3,005.0 m2 lawn covered area. The project site is directly accessible through 75 m wide road on southern side. Main internal road of 17 m width and other internal roads of 7-7.5 m width will be provided. One staircase of 1.50 m width will be provided in each block.

During the meeting, while asking by the committee, it was replied by the project proponent that water supply as well as drainage lines of VUDA are existing at 700 m distance from the project site and the same will be available to the project till the time the construction phase of the project is completed. The project proponent was suggested to explore the possibility of increasing parking area by enhancing the basement area and the project proponent was agreed to do so. After detailed discussion on various aspects regarding the project, it was decided to recommend the project to
