2.5.1 ORGANIC WASTE CONVERTER
Process:
OWC are equipped with intuitive technology which maintains the right temperature, air
flow and moisture. A special bacteria which is heat, salt and acid resistant is used. Once
the bacteria are introduce in machine they reproduce at a rapid pace under ideal internal
condition.
When organic waste is filled in composter, increase in moisture level is detected by
sensor which starts the heating system. As the temperature increases it activates the
bacteria which break down organic waste into compost. At the same time moisture in
waste is converter into water vapor which is vented through blower into drain. This
result into nearly 85% volume reduction in compost formed. The temperature in the
composter is high enough that even dairy, fish and meat are easily composted. The
constant temperature and air flow prevents odor and pest problem.
The Composter will be emptied only once a week and the compost can be used in
garden.

4.0 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.
4.1 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.
29
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.
4.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT:
As the proposed unit is a construction of an apartment, 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
30
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 residential area will have greenery and all roads shall be paved and all slopes &
embankments shall be turned as per best engineering practices.
Table: 4.1 Pollution Control Measures / Environmental Safe guards
S.No Parameters Proposed to be Installed
1. Air Exhaust and Acoustic enclosures for DG
sets
2. Water Sewage Treatment Plant
3. Noise Acoustic Enclosures for DG set
4. Solid waste Organic waste composter
31
4.3 Evacuation Plan Environmental Assessment (EA) is a decision-making process used to promote good
environmental planning by assessing the potential effects and benefits of certain
activities on the environment. Environmental Assessment should ensure that all
environmental effects (risks and benefits) of a proposed development plans,
programmes are identified and satisfactorily addressed.
Purpose To establish method of systematic, safe and orderly evacuation of all the occupants
in case of any emergency, in the least possible time, to a safe assembly point through
nearest safe means of escape.
Fire Escape Additionally to use available fire appliances provided for controlling or
extinguishing fire and safeguarding of human life.
In the event of fire condition or on hearing the fire alarm all the occupants of the
building shall immediately leave the work area and proceed towards nearest safe
escape route. A care should be taken before leaving the place so that the escape
route shall not be blocked.
The occupants will leave the affected area / block / building in a speedy and orderly
manner.
The emergency exit / normal exit if not affected due to fire and / or smoke shall be
used for speedy evacuation.
Efforts shall be made to control or extinguish the fire with the help of available fire
extinguishers in that area.
All occupants after being evacuated shall assemble at designate safe assembly point.
Block / building in-charge will arrange for head count to ensure that all the
occupants have been safely evacuated.
Security in-charge shall ensure that all the visitors have been evacuated as per visitor
entry register. The visitors shall evacuate from the building / block along with the
occupants and report to security in-charge.
32
The missing / suspected trapped occupants will be searched and rescued by the fire
crew.
4.3.1 Tsunami:
A tsunami is a series of waves with a long wavelength and period (time between
crests). Time between crests of the wave can vary from a few minutes to over an hour.
Tsunamis are often incorrectly called tidal waves; they have no relation to the daily
ocean tides. Tsunamis can occur at any time of day or night.
Tsunamis travel approximately at a velocity of 700 kmph in 4000 m depth of sea water.
In 10 m of water depth the velocity drops to about 36 kmph. Tsunamis range in size
from centimeters to over 30 m height. Most tsunamis are less than 3 m in height.
General Measures
Adopting integrated multi-hazard approach with emphasis on cyclone and tsunami risk
mitigation in coastal areas.
Implementation of early warning system for cyclones and tsunamis
Design, practice and implementation of evacuation plans with emphasis on self reliance
for sustenance with the locals.
Development of green belt by planting casuarinas or coconut trees along the coastline
to cover minimum of about 10m width of the proposed site.
Locations of nearest tsunami shelter, their distance and escape route from the residence
to tsunami shelters, mode of travel (preferably by bicycle or moped).
If the tsunami/cyclone is announced, then the people from the proposed resort will send
to the nearest tsunami shelter which is 0.25Kms from the Sea cost constructed during
the year 1984 with plinth area of 178.44Sq.mts at Rushikonda.
Disaster Risk Management:
The first task is to establish a Co-ordinating group.
1. The Coordinating Group should arrive at early consensus on its vision, mission and
responsibilities and establish working procedures, plans and schedules, with
allocated budgets.
33
2. The group must study and analyze the disaster hazards and risks posed to the
destination, especially those which are likely to be amplified by warmer climatic
conditions. Some of the common hazards affecting coastal tourism destinations
include tropical cyclones, ocean storm surges, coastal and inland flooding and
landslides.
4.3.2 Earthquake
Prior to any earthquake, each member should preplan and practice any steps to be taken
in the event of an earthquake.
Take cover under any sturdy piece of furniture
Stay away from windows or ceiling objects such as lighting fixtures
Do not light matches or candles
Use only battery operated flash lights and radios
Find an open area outdoors and remain until earthquake stops
Stay away from power poles, electrical lines, tall buildings, bridges, brick or block
walls, underpasses and trees
Listen to battery operated radio for instructions
Confine and secure all pets
Aftershocks may occur; be prepared
4.3.3 Floods
Flood Watch means that there is the possibility of flooding
Flood Warning means that flooding has begun or is imminent
Before a flood:
Have several escape routes planned
Monitor National Weather Service broadcasts
Prepare and maintain your Family Disaster Supplies Kit
Make sure your RV insurance is up to date
Follow instructions from first responders and/or park management
In the event of flood, you may not be able to exit Lytle Creek Canyon
34
In Case of Flood
Get prepared to leave the park
Wait for instructions from park management, fire department or sheriff’s department
Account for your family and any guests
4.4 ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN
OBJECTIVES
The basic objectives of the on-site emergency plan are to make maximum use of
available resources in shortest time. These can be described as below:
1. To identify the emergency and affecting area.
2. To disclose the type of emergency & to act accordingly.
3. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control to minimize damages
to property, life and environment.
4. Rescue & treat casualties and safe guard others.
5. Identify the personnel affected / dead, inform their relatives and provide for their
needs.
6. Ensure the safe rehabilitation and return to normally in the affected areas.
7. Provide authoritative information to the news media & others.
8. Preserve relevant records & equipments for subsequent inquiry into the causes and
circumstances which lead to the emergency.
A. Fire:
The major factor responsible for fire emergency may be due to an accidental ignition of
the inflammable materials in the storage (due to electric spark, electrostatic spark). On
large scale this may lead to an explosion under certain circumstances or even an
explosion can cause massive fire.
B. Serious Accident
Though generally, this is the result of the aforesaid emergencies, it has been kept
separately, so that serious accident not falling under any of the previous classification,
35
for example, falling from the height, serious electrical shock, working in confined
space etc.
C. Dangerous Occurrences
The dangerous occurrences, whether or not followed by personal injury or disablement,
like Collapse of building / structure etc. will be considered in this category.
STAGES OF THE PLAN
The plan consists of the actual performance of duties & responsibilities by designated
personnel and other agencies. Therefore, the plan is divided into three stages. The
stage one is pre-emergency period i.e. Normal activities before emergency or
preparedness, awareness and training parts.
While stage second explains actions during emergency period i.e. during actual
emergency period, specific duties are to be performed by using available resources &
control measures taken by various persons in systematic ways. The third stage indicates
post emergency period which describes how to preserve evidences and records for
remedial measures, safe rehabilitation and to face inquiry etc. as required by various
authorities. It also explains corrective steps from the incident and finding out the
correct reason behind the emergency, so that such type of incident will not occur again.
Level of Emergency
The level of Emergency can be classified according to the gravity of the situation at
site. The command and control will follow as per the level of emergency.
Level-I : On-site
The type of emergency, which can be handled and controlled by the management with
own resources as per On-site emergency plan, is called as On-site or Level-I.
Level-II : Mutual Aided / Local crisis
If the Level-1, is uncontrollable by the management, further help is needed, the
36
neighboring units or mutual aided local units will provide their resources to tackle the
situation. The emergency of the unit which is handled and controlled by the out side
resources, is called as Mutual Aided local crisis or Level-II. Further, if this type of
emergency is governed by Local Crisis Group then it is called as Local Crisis.
Level-III : District Crisis
Even after putting efforts as explained in Level-II, the situation becomes uncontrollable
and worst; The District Crisis Group will take over the charge & handle the emergency
situation. This is termed as Level-III or District Crisis.
Level-IV : State Crisis / National Crisis
If gravity and situation of the emergency is beyond control of Local or District Crisis
Group, The State/National Crisis Group has to command and control such crisis by
utilizing all resources from the State or Nation, as prevailing circumstances, and then it
is called as State Crisis or National Crisis.

4.4.3 PHYSICAL SECURITY & BREACH OF SECURITY
Principles:
1. The physical security measures are designed with an object of denying access to areas,
which are considered vulnerable to theft, sabotage, espionage or other forms of damage
or loss. Therefore the physical security must consist of methods and devices, which are
designed to:
a. Prevent losses through theft
b. Espionage
c. Sabotage
d. Intentional damage to an organization
2. While deciding the physical security measures, following factors are considered
50
a. Extent of danger
b. The need for secrecy
c. The presence of criminal elements
d. The economic feasibility
3. Physical security measures are divided into the following categories
a. Denial of access to vulnerable areas by unauthorized persons
b. Control and regulations of access by authorized persons
c. Prevention of loss by fire
d. Prevention of accidents
4. The physical security in the resort is achieved by following barriers
a. Perimeter barriers
b. Lighting
c. Patrols
d. Static posts
Patrolling/Security Guards/Vehicle and Sea Patrols:
The most effective means of providing security is through patrolling by security
personnel. The greatest deterrent to a criminal is the presence of security personnel in the
area in which he intends to operate. Patrolling is done in those areas where it is not
possible to provide a static sentry post. Patrolling also covers those areas which are not so
vital as to merit a static guard.
Objectives of patrolling are:
Prevention and detection of offences against the property of the company
To ensure that proper security measures are being taken by all those who are
responsible for the security of that area.
To locate any damage to physical measures like walls fences lighting, door
locking devices, alarms etc.
To obtain information about activities detrimental to the interests of the resort.
To ensure that safety measures are being taken and safety rules are being followed
to prevent fires, accidents etc.
To create an atmosphere of alertness to show that the security force is vigilant and
effective thereby acting as a deterrent to potential criminals.
51
To prevent the outbreak of fire by maintaining constants look out in areas
vulnerable to fire.
The Duties of Security personnel deputed on patrolling:
To check the perimeter walls, fences for any damage or any signs of preparations
by criminals.
To inspect the locks and seals on the stores, ware houses and important buildings
and to ensure that no doors or window have been left open by oversight.
To keep a look out for property lying around in an unsecured place so that
concerned authorities could be informed.
To keep a look for any security hazards or breach of safety rules and bring in to
the notice of the resort security officer.
To investigate anything that does not appear to be normal.
Ensure that safety rules and traffic regulations are being properly observed.
Response to Breach of Security
1. Occasions/Situations to consider as breach of security:
a. Unauthorized personnel discovery in the resort/restricted areas.
b. Unauthorized/illegally parked/abandoned vehicle
c. Suspicious person or activity response
d. Unknown or suspicious package discovery response/bomb threat.
2. Response Procedures
For each security level, Fire service and resort security personnel shall:
a. Respond to security threats or breaches of security and maintain critical facility.
b. Evacuate the facility in case of security threats or breaches of security, if needed.
c. Report security incident
d. Brief all facility personnel on possible threats and the need for vigilance, soliciting
their assistance in reporting suspicious persons, objects or activities.
e. Secure non-critical operations in order to focus response on critical operations.

4.5 Biological Environment
4.5.1 Introduction
The term biological environment covers the prevalence of all living forms plants and
animals both terrestrial and aquatic in nearby coastal area. Living forms cover a very
wide spectrum of species and even a small area may have thousands of species if all
bacteria, protozoa, worms, insects, plants, animals and birds are to be included. In the
present study, higher taxa (trees, shrubs, herbs, climbers, sedges and grasses) and fauna
(mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians) are covered for impact assessment purpose.
It is needless to emphasize that living system is extremely complicated. They are
directly affected by changes in the physical environment but may often either adapt or
avoid the adverse environment.
The main objective of the ecological survey is aimed to find out baseline status of flora
and fauna of the study region. An ecological survey of the study area was conducted
particularly with reference to listing of species and assessment of the existing baseline
ecological (terrestrial and ecosystem) conditions in the study area.
4.5.2 Study area
The study area under investigation forms a coastal strip between Visakhapatnam and
Bheemili. Area is completely devoid of forest which is severely affected by natural and
anthropogenic activities resulting loss of habitat and dependant flora and fauna. The
area covered with plantations of Casuarina equisetifolia, Anacardium occidentale and
Acacia auriculiformis. The dominant trees are Borassus flabellifer and Azadirachta
indica. Some shrubs like Calotropis gigantea, Cassia auriculata, Lantana camara and
Prosopis juliflora associated with the weeds like Hyptes suaveolens, Tephrosia
purprea, and Croton bonplandianum are also growing in and surrounding areas of the
project area.
4.5.3 Terrestrial Ecology
Flora
The vegetation in the area is characterized by non-thorny vegetation growth. Trees in
the area are very sparse. Due to long anthropogenic pressures, the wild tree growth has
become almost confined to small trees. The core zone is primarily composed of fallow
field which is situated in the project boundary. Large areas of this land covered with
herbs and grasses. The most dominant species in buffer zone is Cashew plantations
56
which do not have large old growth trees but mostly regeneration in the form of
seedlings and saplings. These seedlings and saplings represent the under growth and
replace the shrubby vegetation. The list of plant species explored from both core and
buffer zones of the study area is given in the following Table 4.2.

4.5.4 Marine Ecology
Fishes, Arthropoda and Mollusca
Macro faunal communities such as crustaceans and mollusks constitute Major
components of any marine faunal assemble and play a significant role in maintaining
the steady state of the coastal ecosystem and enhance its biological productivity. To
understand the ecology of study area, plankton were collected and identified in tidal
water. Faunal species ranged from reptiles to crabs. Crustaceans, Bivalves and
Gastropods are the dominant fauna. A total of 12 fish species were identified in the
coastal area. Among the crustaceans the dominant species in the study area is
Macrophthalmus rosenbergii. All marine fauna has been given in the Table 4.4.

4.5.5 Impacts on terrestrial flora and fauna
Construction phase
Construction activity may have slight impact on flora nearby project area. Dust formed
during the construction activity will accumulate on the leaves of the plant which may
cause blocking of the stomata. Respiration activity of the plants gets affected due to
blockage in stomata. The noise generated during construction activity may have some
negative impact on birds found in the area. The impacts caused due during the
63
construction phase will be a reversible impact. Care must be taken to minimize the dust
formation due to construction activity viz. sprinkling of water, etc. Noise generated by
construction equipments will be controlled through provision of mufflers in machines
and implementation of other noise control measures.
Operational phase
The flora is sparse and there is no threatened flora and fauna found in and around the
project site. There will be no significant impact on the terrestrial flora and fauna during
the operational phase of the project. The flora and fauna found in the buffer area would
not be impacted by the project activity. However proper ferry traffic management will
further aid in reducing the noise and air pollution.
Impact on marine ecology
Marine ecosystem observed at a distance less than 0.5 km from the project site and
there is no construction activity in the seashore; hence the construction activity will not
have any impact on marine ecosystem.
Greenbelt development
The main objective of greenbelt is to provide a barrier between the source of pollution
and the surrounding area. Greenbelt around the various project appurtenances is
proposed, this will go a long way to protect environment and mitigate pollution levels
in the area. Development of plantation shall also prevent soil erosion and washing away
of the topsoil besides helping in stabilizing the functional ecosystem, make the climate
more conductive and restore water balance.
Plantation work
A 20-25m wide green belt shall be proposed on river bunds. Further, avenue plantation
will be undertaken besides the project. Extensive afforestation at project area will be
undertaken which will not only act as lung space in the area but will also improve
aesthetics. Multi-layered plantation comprising of medium height trees (7 m to 10 m)
and shrubs (5 m height) are proposed for the green belt. Moreover, in future creepers
will be planted along the boundary wall to enhance its insulation capacity.
Selection of species for greenbelt
Development of greenbelt is one of the most sensitive issues and shall be done with due
care. Selection of proper locally grown species in addition to checking of their growth
rate, quality, thickness of canopy cover, etc. shall be duly done as it helps in abatement
64
of fugitive noise, reduce the pollution level, thus making the place worth dwelling for
the diversified species flora. The plant species suitable for green belt development need
to be selected based on the flowing criteria.
Native plant species will be preferred
Fast growing plants will be planted
Plants having thick canopy cover will be used
Preferably perennial and evergreen species will be selected
Plants having large leaf area index will be considered
Road sides will be planted with local vegetations
While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts, weightage has to be
given to the natural factor of bio-climate. It is also presumed that the selected plants will be
grown as per normal horticultural or forestry practices.
Trees are important sinks for air pollutants. Trees absorb noise and by enhancing the green
cover, improve the ecology and aesthetics and affect the local micrometeorology. Trees
also have major long-term impacts on soil quality and the ground water table. By using
suitable plant species, green belts can be developed in strategic zones to provide protection
from emitted and noise.
In view of this, the list of species to be planted in the green belt area is illustrated in Table
4.6. Mixed plantation shall be done keeping optimum spacing between the saplings.
