MITIGATIONS AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN The two phases of the project identified are Construction Phase & Operational Phase. The EMP is prepared separately for two phases. Each phase has specific issues unique to that period of the development and operation of the proposed project and associated infrastructure. After analysing the extent, duration, intensity of the impacts under each phase, a discussion is presented where appropriate. The Environmental Management Plan is designed with the By, UniStar Environment & Research Labs Pvt. Ltd. Proposed Synthetic Organic Chemical Manufacturing Unit 7

50 ANNEXURE VIII: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN M/s. Chandan Synthetics and Polymers. consideration of the mitigation measures for both phases as identified and other statutory requirements as described in earlier section. Generally EMP is formulated as aggregated action plan for an area or a department or an environmental attribute depending upon the suitability & requirement of management system of an individual industry or organization. Such aggregations of action plan make the operation easy & efficient and considering these, the present environment management plan has been formulated based on aggregated action for each of the environmental attribute of concern. Some additional action plan has also been formulated focusing on the general requirement of the management system & administration. The present Environment Management Plan (EMP) aims to delineate the mitigate measures requires for restoration & conservation the environment as well as minimization & prevention of the possible adverse impacts, if any, due to proposed project. The environmental management plan for the proposed project is designed for the following targeted environmental attributes & aspects: 1. Geophysical environment a. Land environment and solid waste management b. Water environment c. Air environment d. Noise environment 2. Ecological environment(flora & Fauna) 3. Health and safety management. 4. Cleaner Production Approaches 5. Other administrative activities The activities being carried out during construction phase may also require adequately planned environment management plan. The construction activities will be restricted to a very short time and therefore no considerable impacts are envisaged but the EMP must be laid down to ensure that the environmental impacts are remaining within acceptable limit. Further, during the operational phase there will be many activities which may pose some impact upon various components of the environment. The operational phase will impose impacts upon the environment mainly due to the accidental spillage or leakage of chemicals/materials. The present chapter described the well planned Environmental Management Plan which will be proven very efficient in managing it effectively and efficiently. The details of the formulated action plan for pollution prevention and environmental protection & conservation has been presented in subsequent sections under respective heading.

Since tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage (up to 3 m), it will be appropriate to have shrubbery in form of such trees to give coverage to this portion. Fast growing trees with thick perennial foliage will be grown, as it will take many years for trees to grow to their full height. For replantation, the plants and saplings suitable for the existing soils and site conditions may be considered. It is recommended to plant fast growing local plant species, which can adapt to the local climate. This has to be done in consultation with local government horticulturist.

106 Product Name: NP-9 SURFACTANT REGULAR Issue Date: 05/15/2012 Hand protection: Use gloves chemically resistant to this material when prolonged or frequently repeated contact could occur. Examples of preferred glove barrier materials include: Butyl rubber. Ethyl vinyl alcohol laminate ("EVAL"). Examples of acceptable glove barrier materials include: Natural rubber ("latex"). Neoprene. Nitrile/butadiene rubber ("nitrile" or "NBR"). Polyvinyl chloride ("PVC" or "vinyl"). NOTICE: The selection of a specific glove for a particular application and duration of use in a workplace should also take into account all relevant workplace factors such as, but not limited to: Other chemicals which may be handled, physical requirements (cut/puncture protection, dexterity, thermal protection), potential body reactions to glove materials, as well as the instructions/specifications provided by the glove supplier. Respiratory Protection: Respiratory protection should be worn when there is a potential to exceed the exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use an approved respirator. Selection of air-purifying or positive-pressure supplied-air will depend on the specific operation and the potential airborne concentration of the material. For emergency conditions, use an approved positive-pressure self-contained breathing apparatus. In confined or poorly ventilated areas, use an approved self-contained breathing apparatus or positive pressure air line with auxiliary self-contained air supply. The following should be effective types of airpurifying respirators: Organic vapor cartridge with a particulate pre-filter. Ingestion: Use good personal hygiene. Do not consume or store food in the work area. Wash hands before smoking or eating. Engineering Controls Ventilation: Use engineering controls to maintain airborne level below exposure limit requirements or guidelines. If there are no applicable exposure limit requirements or guidelines, use only with adequate ventilation. Local exhaust ventilation may be necessary for some operations. 9.
