Implementation schedule of the project. 3.0 DESCRIPTION OF THE BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS Study area & study Period Looking to the project activity and probable impact, baseline data collection for 1 month (except monsoon) within 5/10 km of the study area Maps of the study area clearly delineating the locations of various monitoring stations (air/water/noise/soil) Procedure and methodology of base line data collection BASE LINE DATA COLLECTION Parameters Air Environment A) Micro Meteorological Wind speed, wind direction, ambient temperature and relative humidity. Sampling Location & Frequency 1 near project site OR from IMD for the nearest observatory center. Three hourly Continuous for one month. Comments B) Ambient Air Quality PM 10, PM 2.5, NO x & SO 2 Water Environment Fresh Water Consumption : 23.5 KL/day Industrial Waste Water Discharge: Nil Soil & Land Environment Page 2 6 locations including project site (2 station in upwind direction & 3 stations in downwind direction) in study area of 5 km radial distance from the project site 24 hourly twice a week for three month. Monitoring of all the existing stacks once during study period. Historical data of the existing unit any verification of the statutory compliance. Water samples will be collected by taking one sample from each of the six stations once during the study period (for both ground and surface sources) within the study area including project site Soil samples will be collected from each of the six stations once during the study period within the study area including project site. Based on the trial run of ISCST-3 model it is estimated the maximum GLC would take place within one kilometer. The fresh water requirement will be met by bore well. There will be no discharge of any industrial effluent. The hazardous waste will be handled properly, stored into adequate storage area and finally disposed off as per the GPCB Norms.
Parameters Noise Environment Ecological Environment Sampling Location & Frequency 6 locations including project site within study area Once during the study period during daytime and nighttime. Monitoring of various locations within the existing premises once during study period. None Comments There is no major source of noise pollution from the project activity except D.G. set. There is no Historical place, Archaeological place, Wildlife sanctuary or National park within 15 km radius from project site. Socio-Economic Environment Socio-economic base line data will be collected from District Census Handbook (2001) There will be a positive impact as it will generate direct/indirect employment opportunities. 4.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 Air Environment Impact of flue gas, process gas and fugitive emissions from the project. Prediction of air pollution due to production activities, loading and unloading, transportation. Emission Inventory of PM, SO 2, and NO X.
