COD (mg/l) 400-500 <60

Suspended Solids (mg/l) 250-450 <10

Oil & Grease (mg/l) 30 <5

Treatment Units:

The STP employs Activated sludge process working on the principle of extended aeration based on Fine

Bubble Diffused Aeration system in secondary treatment followed by tertiary treatment. The treatment

process includes the following unit operations:

Primary Treatment : Oil & Grease separator, Bar screen, Equalization Tank

Secondary Treatment : Aeration tank, Secondary clarifier, chlorine Contact tank

Tertiary Treatment : Multigrade Filter, activated carbon filter and Softener

Sludge Conditioning : Aerobic Digester, Sludge Thickner/filter press

Process Description:

Primary Treatment:

Raw sewage flows through oil & grease separator followed by a bar screen chamber and Equalization

tank. The bar screen is so designed that it can be cleaned manually from outside. Submersible solid

handling pumps are provided in the Equalization tank to pump the collected Raw sewage to the

aeration tank. An automatic level controller is provided in the Equalization tank to turn the pump off at



the predetermined low water level in the tank and to start the pump automatically when water level

reaches the high water level.

Air is introduced in the Equalization tank through submerged air diffusers, to prevent the sewage from

becoming septic during long retention or low load conditions and also keeping the organic matter in

suspension.

Secondary Treatment:

The raw sewage that comes into the Aeration tank is aerated by using Fine Bubble diffusers mounted

in a grid at the bottom of the tank. Facility is made to pull up the diffusers for cleaning, if necessary.

Air is suspended to the diffusers by twin-lobe rotary air blowers located in the plant room. The

aeration system is designed in a way so as to achieve complete mixing of the sludge organisms with

raw sewage in order to maintain a Mixed Liquor suspended Solids (MLSS) concentration between

3,000 and 4,000 mg/l in the aeration tank.

From the aeration tank, this mixed liquor is taken into the clarifier. The liquid in the clarifier tank is

maintained in quiescent condition allowing the stabilized solids to settle at the bottom of the clarifier

for collection.

Part of the settled solids/sludge (activated sludge) is constantly pumped back into the aeration tank by

sludge recycle pumps. This return sludge undergoes further digestion in the aeration tank and also

provides the active organisms needed to digest the incoming raw sewage besides maintaining the

desired MLSS concentration.

The clarifier is provided with an overflow weir to collect the treated effluent and a scum-baffle to

prevent any floating matter from passing out in the final treated water. Treated water from clarifier

over-flows to the Chlorine contact tank where hypochlorite solution is added to disinfect the treated

waste water.

Sludge Conditioning:

Excess sludge from the bottom of the clarifier is taken to adjoining aerobic digester-cum-baffle to

prevent any floating matter from passing out in the final treated water. Treated water from clarifier

over-flows to the chlorine contact tank where hypochlorite solution is added to disinfect the treated

wastewater.

Tertiary Treatment:

The treated and disinfected water from the chlorine contact tank is passed through a Multi-grade filter,

an activated carbon filter and a softener for final storage in a treated sewage water tank. Water from

this tank is used for the cooling towers of the Air-conditioning system and DG /Gen sets and for



horticulture within the premises. Any excess treated sewage, particularly during lean period, like

winter is reused for toilet flushing. However, there may be occasional discharge into municipal sewer

in case of exigency for which “consent” from the concerned state pollution control board is taken.

ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN



3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN The Environmental Management Plan envisaged for this construction project is described hereunder

with a strong commitment to follow best Environmental practices to reduce the negative implication to

make this project a sustainable development endeavor.

The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible extent

with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they are

discharged.

Environmental management plan aims at the preservation of ecosystem by considering the pollution

abatement facilities at the project inception. In the upcoming modern housing project, pollution

abatement has become an integral part of planning and designs along with techno economic factors.

The different Environmental components that are identified in the assessment chapter are dealt

hereunder with necessary environmental management plan. The emphasis on the EMP development is

on the following:

Mitigation measures for each of the activities causing the environmental impact.

Monitoring plans for checking activities and environmental parameters and monitoring

responsibilities.

Role responsibilities and resource allocation for monitoring.

Following sections describes the environment management plan proposed for construction and

operation phases.

SITE CLEARANCE:

Control of Soil Erosion:

Generally cutting of herbaceous vegetation, during the construction phase results in the loosening of

the top soil.

Vegetation removal shall be minimized to prevent extent of soil erosion.

Vegetative cover shall be re-projected /rehabilitated at the earliest practicable time to minimize

duration & extent of soil erosion.

Control of Noise Levels:

Selection of equipment with less noise generation to be used.



The earth moving equipment shall be periodically checked and maintained for noise levels.

Since the site is more or less even use of these earth moving equipments may not be necessary.

The workers shall be provided with adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) such as ear

plugs to reduce impact of high noise levels.

Control of Dust generation:

The construction activity will result in the increase of SPM concentrations due to fugitive dust.

The site cleared shall be periodically watered to reduce emission of dust particles.

The workers shall be provided with PPE such as nose masks and googles to reduce impact

on health.

3.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT:

As the proposed unit is a construction project, SPM, SO2 & NOX emissions from the operations will be

very less concern. Water sprinkling will be provided through out the complex to control the fugitive

emissions arises if any during construction activity.

Generation of Dust

Pre Construction & Construction Stages

Dust will be generated from transport, construction, and utility operations. The mitigative measure

proposed is water sprinkling of the roads, and covered construction activity so as to ensure the dust

does not fly. The road condition is a major cause of the dust and permanent black top roads will be

provided as far as possible in the construction area. Exposure of labor and employees during

construction will be mitigated by provision of facemasks to employees at dust generating sources.

To reduce level of dust emissions from the crusher and batching plant and other transportation of

materials will be taken up including vehicles delivering loose and fine materials like sand and fine

aggregates shall be covered to reduce spills on existing roads. Water will be sprayed on earthworks,

temporary haulage and detour roads on a regular basis.

During and after compaction of the sub-grade, water will be sprayed at regular intervals to prevent

dust generation. The dust emissions from the vibrating screen at the stone quarries do not exceed the

emission standards set by CPCB by providing covered areas and adopting water sprinkling.

Occupation Stage

The commercial area will have greenery and all roads shall be paved and all slopes & embankments

shall be turned as per best engineering practices.



3.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT & GROUND VIBRATIONS

The major noise levels will be confined to the construction activity while handling concrete mixer and

other consumables. The Leq of eight hours will be within the prescribed standards. Community noise

levels are not likely to be effected due to the proposed green belt development and attenuation due to the

physical barriers.

Construction Stage

The plants and equipment used for construction will strictly conform to CPCB noise standards. Vehicles

and equipments used shall be fitted with exhaust silencers. During routine servicing operations, the

effectiveness of exhaust silencers shall be checked and if found to be defective shall be replaced. The

noise level from any item of plants, such as compactors, rollers, front loaders, concrete mixers, cranes

vibrators and saws shall not exceed 75 dB (A), as specified in the Environmental Protection Rules,1986.

The construction activity within 150 m of the nearest habitation, noisy construction work such as concrete

mixing will be restricted to daytime and there will not be any construction during the nighttime between

9.00 pm and 6.00am. To protect construction workers from severe noise impacts, noise standards of

industrial enterprises will be strictly enforced, and workers shall be provided with personal protection

Equipment (PPE).

Occupation Stage

The Commercial areas adjacent to the proposed wide roads will be checked for noise levels and based on

the results additional mitigation measures will be taken up like double-glazing of windows if necessary.

The major sources of noise are DG sets

DG set will be housed in an area where the access will be restricted.

Acoustic dampeners in foundations and insulators in the interiors will be provided.

Personnel operating DG sets will be provided with ear muffs.

Selection of equipment to ensure that the residual noise level of 75 dB (A).

Noise levels will be checked periodically using a noise pressure level meter.



3.4 LAND ENVIRONMENT

The main source of water is ground water. The soils in the area are predominantly clay with high fertility.

The development due to the Project will induce positive changes in the land use in the project Impact area.

However it must be mentioned that the area is already urbanized and the surrounding lands are under

various stages of development. There will be a positive impact on the land use in the impacted area.

Design and Construction stage

The mitigation measures proposed to maintain the physiographic undisturbed or impacted to the

minimum is to maintain the contour levels and to keep the higher contour levels undisturbed. The

lowest levels of contour are undisturbed and are used for construction of high – rise structures. It may

be observed from the cut and fill operation is to use machinery and tippers which have pollution under

control certificate is to use machinery and tippers which have pollution under control certificate, using

water sprinkling of the cut and fill areas, and ensure that natural drainage is not filled with cut

material.

Occupation stage

The change in the physiography of the project site is enhanced by greening program of the central

area.

3.5 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT & SAFETY

A detailed survey was conducted to assess socio-economic aspects of the region. The data collected

from the census book include demographic details, infrastructural facilities, educational status, health

status, medical facilities, agricultural status, cattle population, crop pattern etc.

Social Environment: The proposed project will boost the supply of various daily needs of the people

by various vendors such as vegetable, milk supply etc. thereby improving the economic levels of

vendors.

3.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Regular monitoring of various environmental parameters shall be carried out to ascertain the following

points,

Status of air, noise, water, land pollution within the project and in its vicinity

The philosophy behind the green belt development is to improve the ecology and environment

of the surrounding of the plant by extensive afforestation.

Planting scheme has also been chosen keeping in mind the needs of residents during

traditional/festive occasions apart from functional, ecological and aesthetic needs.

PLANT DETAILS

Greenbelt is a set of rows of trees planted in such a fashion, to create effective barrier between

the project and surroundings. The greenbelt helps to capture the fugitive emissions, attenuate

the noise levels in the housing project and simultaneously improving aesthetics of the housing

project. The greenbelt around the housing project compound wall and in the reserve site will

be developed in keeping view of the following objectives.

1. Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered pattern.

2. The short trees will be planted in the first two rows and the tall trees in the outer rows

around the purview of the project site.

3. Since the trunks of the trees are generally devoid of foliage, it will be useful to have

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

4. Sufficient spacing will be maintained between the trees to facilitate effective height of

the greenbelt.



5. Plants of native origin, fast growing type with canopy and large leaf index shall be

preferred.

PLANTING SCHEME

The Proposed plants are mostly from native flora and other such plants which can thrive
