2.11. Manufacturing Process and Process Flow DiagramChemical Name : Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer (CPP) CAS No: 85535-85-9
Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer is an organic Molecule which is derived from Heavy Normal Paraffin. Chlorine gas reacts with Heavy normal Paraffin by substituting hydrogen by forming hydrogen chloride and another chlorine gas reacts with HNP to form chlorinated paraffin Plasticizer. Hydrogen chloride absorbed by the process water in absorber.
Reaction:
CnH(2n+2)+mCl2 Cn H(2n+2-m) Cl6 + mHCl + Heat
Chlorinated Paraffins are manufactured by the chlorination of n-paraffin, normally in a batch process. The reaction is exothermic and leads to the generation of the byproducts hydrochloric acid. After removing residual traces of acid, stabilizer is added to produce finished batches.
Chlorinated Paraffin which contain 30-70% chlorine, are largely inert and almost insoluble in water. Paraffin have extremely low vapor pressure. Most commercially Chlorinated paraffin is liquid and range from relatively low to extremely high viscosity. There are also solid types which have longer carbon chain lengths and usually contain 70-72% chlorine.

2. HNP Feed section
3. Chlorine Evaporation Section
4. Reactor & HCl Absorption Area.
5. Waste air Absorption Area
6. Product Storage Area
Required amount of HNP (Heavy normal Paraffin) is transferred to HNP storage tank. Then Heavy normal paraffin is fed into the melter as required and heated up to 500C. The heated paraffin is transferred to the reactor by the help of mono block mechanical seal pump capacity 3 HP. After the completion of paraffin feeding in the reactor, chlorine is injected to the paraffin as 50 kg per hour in the initial stage then would be increased upto 500 kg/hours. Chlorination starts after an hour when the temperature goes to 530C.
Pressure is controlled within 2.5±0.5 bar throughout the process run time. Appearance of HNP at the process start through the sight Glass should be colorless, clear and transparent chlorination is started and the data collected on time basis. At finally temperature reaches up to 98 -1100C with desired specific gravity then chlorination goes stopped completely by closing the Chlorine gas valve. After chlorine gas injection stopped, Aeration is started to remove
gas from liquid and complete venting takes place through the reactor vent valve. Further produced CPP transfer to degassing vessel.
HCl mist comes from the reactor at the time of chlorination with HNP. This mist take place in HCl absorption system and circulation takes place till concentration achieves 30 - 32%, after that commercial-grade HCl transfer to HCL storage tank for sale in the market.
If any HCl fumes generated from system is takes to Absorption section through pipeline for producing hydrochloric acid, this process is completed in 5 stages, still if there is any chlorine gas left to be sent to Grasim Industries Ltd. to neutralize in their sodium hypo-chloride unit where chlorine is absorbed by circulated 18% Caustic

2.14.2. Rain Water Harvesting
RAIN WATER HARVESTING
The main source of ground water recharging in the study area is rainwater, which infiltrates into the ground through various lithological units present in the study area. 2 no. of rain water harvesting pits will be installed. The runoff from the rooftop shall go to the recharge pits.
Scheme for Ground Water Recharging
The rainwater will be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface/underground drainage network. The rainwater is diverted into the desilting tank to remove inorganic impurities and the outflow of the desilting tank is taken into the recharge well.
● Desilting Tank
The desilting tanks will be used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater. Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow and overflow. Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge structure. The bottom of the tank will have unpaved surface (layers of coarse sand) to allow standing water to percolate into the soil. The rainwater collected in these desilting chambers shall be utilized for horticulture.
● Recharge well
The recharge well will consist of percolation pits with 3 mm diameter boreholes in the middle of the pit. UPVC pipe of 160 mm diameter perforated will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit will be filled with gravel and pebbles in three layers of 400 mm each consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. The mouth of the UPVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into it. The depth of the bore will depend on the soil condition/water strata.
It should be therefore concluded that there is no significant impact on surface water quality & hydrology of the area. The proposed rainwater-harvesting scheme will stabilize the groundwater table in the area.

2.15. Air Emission ManagementDuring installation phase: Water sprinkling shall be done in the nearby area where dust generation is anticipated. No loose soil, Construction & Demolition Waste or any other construction material that causes dust shall be left uncovered. Construction material and waste will be stored at the specified area earmarked for the storage. Road side storage of construction materials and waste shall be prohibited.
During Operation Phase
2.15.1. Point Source Emission Control
The proposed project shall produce Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer (CPP) and Hydrochloric Acid from raw materials like Liquid Paraffin and Chlorine gas. The by-product i.e. Hydrochloric Acid fugitive in nature which could affect the air environment due to its corrosive/harmful fumes.
Sources of emissions into the air environment would be DG Sets, Chlorine Gas from Reactor, HCl fumes from Degasser and HCl fumes from Storage areas. Therefore, control of HCl fumes and Chlorine gas shall be maintained in 25 feet block condenser of graphite block and coolers of graphite block for control of HCl fumes. HCl vapor gas from the reactor is passed on separator and from separator to graphite bloc absorber. Conversion of HCl gas into HCl involves generation of heat & water is circulated for control of this heat from the cooling tower. It is observed that absorption of gas into liquid HCl is maximum below 55° C of temperature at absorbers is kept below 55° C.
HCl Vapor + H2O = HCl (Liquid) + Heat
Two absorbers are employed in series so that entire HCl gases are converted into HCl liquid. The outlet of absorber No. 2 is sent to a bubbling tank where in cold water is kept ready and by bubbling and bubbling further HCl gas is converted in dilute HCl Acid.
The gases from the reactor consist of HCl gases and approximately 3% untreated chlorine. HCl gases are almost absorbed in graphite absorbers blocks 1 & 2 and balance if any, in bubbling tank. Chlorine is only slightly soluble in water when it reacts with pure water, a weak solution of hydrochloric and hypochlorous acid is formed. Hydrochlorous acid further dissociates to HCl and nascent oxygen. Non-

3.5.3. Sampling Procedure Respirable Dust Samplers were used to collect samples for PM10 and PM2.5 in ambient air at a flow rate of 1.2 m3 /min. The ambient air was sucked through the cyclone and filter paper by a blower. Samples of gases were drawn at a flow rate of 0.5 litres per minute and were analysed in the laboratory.
Monitoring was conducted in respect of the following parameters:
● Particulate Matter (PM10)● Particulate Matter (PM2.5) ● Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
Proposed Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer Manufacturing Unit at Palamu District, JharkhandBy M/s Suntek Plasticizers Private Limited
Prepared by- M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. D- 82
● Oxides of Nitrogen (NO2) ● Carbon Monoxide (CO)
This procedure was adopted because there are no short-term variations and low concentration of gaseous pollutants was expected.
3.5.4. Analytical methods followed for ambient air quality monitoring
● Particulate Matter (PM2.5) (USEPA Quality Assurance HandBook (Vol.II) Part II, Quality Assurance Guideline Document, 2.12): Particulate Matter (PM2.5) was analysed by the Gravimetric Method. Particulate matter was collected on the 37 mm diameter glass microfiber Filter Paper. PM2.5 value is determined from the values of volume of air passed through Ambient Fine Dust Sampler.
● Particulate Matter (PM10) (IS: 5182 Part 23:2006): Particulate Matter (PM10) was analysed by the Gravimetric Method. It was carried out by Respirable Dust sampler as per IS: 5182(Part 23):2006. Particulate matter was collected on the GF/A Filter Paper. Particles with aerodynamics diameter less than the cut-point of the inlet are collected by the filter. The mass of these particles is determined by the difference in filter weight prior to and after sampling.
● Sulphur dioxide (SO2) (IS: 5182; Part – II – 2001): Sulphur dioxide is absorbed by aspirating a measured air sample through a solution of Potassium or sodium tetrachloromercurate, TCM. This procedure results in the formation of a dichloro sulphite mercurate complex. The Sulphite Ion produced during sampling is reacted with sulphamic acid, formaldehyde and pararosaniline to form an azo dye and then determined colorimetrically.
● Nitrogen Oxides (IS: 5182; Part – VI – 2006): Nitrogen dioxide is collected by bubbling air through a sodium hydroxide- sodium arsenite solution to form a stable solution of sodium Nitrite. The Nitrite Ion Produced during sampling is reacted with hydrogen peroxide, Sulphanilamide and NEDA to form an azodye and then determined colorimetrically.
● Carbon monoxide (CO) (IS:5182; Part -10-1999): Samples containing Carbon monoxide in the range of 0 to 100 mg/m3 are analyzed on a non-dispersive infrared absorption gas analyser, namely, an electro-optical spectrophotometer with no spectral dispersion component. It may consist of a single or double source of infrared energy and one or more infrared detectors

Impact Prediction Of Point And Nonpoint Emission On Ambient Air Quality
The emissions from the sources spread or disperse in the air and cause increase in the pollution level in ambient air. This causes an increase in Ground Level Concentration (GLC). This increase in GLC can be predicted for proposed project using Air Dispersion Modelling. In this study, AERMOD developed by Lakes Environmental Inc. is used to calculate incremental Ground Level concentrations (GLC) for the proposed sources of air pollution in the current expansion, for Particulate emissions, Gaseous emissions (NO2 & SO2 ).
From the results generated by AERMOD in the form of Isopleth and results show that the post-project air quality for PM10, PM2.5, CO, SO2 & NO2 is within the limits for the core zone and buffer zone as per the Ambient Air Quality standard NAAQS. The maximum GLC will not have a significant impact on environment/ ambient air quality

3.7.4. Flood HistoryThe worst flood at Ulhas River was recorded in 2011. The loss of life was Substantial. . Flooded rivers submerged vast areas damaging crops and human habitations in Garhwa and Palamau districts of Jharkhand although the state recorded less rainfall in 2011.
"The Sone, which flowed 36 feet above danger level at 7am receded in the evening, but was flowing 22 feet above its normal level submerging thousands of acres of cropland in Garhwa district," The affected areas were Sonpurua, Balari, Kalagarha, Dhelkadih, Narayanpur and Sundipur villages.
In Palamau district, sluice gates of Mohammadganj barrage were opened to discharge water to river Koel which flooded the low lying areas of about 14 villages in Hussainabad sub-division,
About 900 families were shifted to safer places and relief packets were being distributed among them, the sources said.
Traffic between Jharkhand and UP, Bihar and Chhattisgarh remained cut off following the collapse of Tehela bridge and a diversion bridge, both connecting the NH-75, in the last two days.
3.7.5. GeohydrologyThe study area is covered by three major geological formations viz, the Precambrian crystallines, the Vindhyans and the Gondwanas. Besides, the tertiary laterite and alluvium also cover part of the district. The Alluvium cover of considerable thickness occurs in the northern part of the district along the Son and North Koel rivers. Ground water occurs mostly under phreatic condition in all the lithological units and locally under semi confined and confined condition.
The general line of drainage is from south to north towards the river Koyal and Sone. Koyal forms the eastern boundary and Sone forms the northern boundary of the district. There are also a host of smaller streams, most of which are from mountain currents with rock stream beds. Other important rivers of the district are Danro,

Sarsatiya, Tahale, Annaraj, Urea, Bai Banki, Bellaiti, Pando, Biraha, and Sapahi. Another notable river is Kanhar which forms the south eastern boundary of the district for about 80 km. Due to its Geographical formation Palamu district is rich in water resources.
As per the CGWB report, the Depth to water level map has been prepared based on the analysed water level data of pre and post monsoon. In general during pre monsoon, 2012 , depth to water level varies between 5 and 10 mbgl in 64.3% wells and > 10 mbgl in 28.6% wells,shallow water level also recorded in 2 wells out of 16 analysed wells. In general during post monsoon, 2012 , depth to water level varies between 5 and 10 mbgl in 60% wells and 2-5 mbgl in 40% wells, which represents the water level within 10 mbgl.
The exploratory data reveals presence of potential fractures between 30 and 100 mbgl. The yield of the well in general as evident from the exploratory data has been found to vary between 1 and 62 m3/hr. The piezometric level varies between 4 and 9.3 m bgl. Aquifers lying between the depth range of 30-100 m have moderate prospects of ground water development.

3.9. Land Environment
3.9.1. TopographyThe topography of the area is undulating and consists of small hillocks. The maximum elevation of the buffer area is 548 m AMSL at the top of a hillock in Kohila Pahar which is located approx 5 Km in the east direction from project site and minimum elevation is 172 m AMSL at the bank of river North Koel near Bhitihara Village, which is located approx 7 Km in NW direction from the project site. Buffer area comprises two districts named Palamu and Garhwa. About 55% of the buffer area falls in Palamu District and the rest 45 % in Garhwa District.
The proposed site or core zone is situated on a land having elevation ranges from 181 m AMSL to 182m AMSL.
Digital Elevation Model (DEM)
Digital Elevation Models are data files that contain the elevation of the terrain over a specified area, usually at a fixed grid interval over the "Bare Earth". The intervals
Proposed Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer Manufacturing Unit at Palamu District, JharkhandBy M/s Suntek Plasticizers Private Limited
Prepared by- M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. D- 109
between each of the grid points will always be referenced to some geographical coordinate system. This is usually either latitude-longitude or UTM (Universal Transverse Mercator) coordinate systems. The closer together the grid points are located, the more detailed the information will be in the file. The details of the peaks and valleys in the terrain will be better modeled with small grid spacing than when the grid intervals are very large. Elevations other than at the specific grid point locations are not contained in the file. As a result, peak points and valley points not coincident with the grid will not be recorded in the file. For practical purposes this "Bare Earth" DEM is generally synonymous with a Digital Terrain Model (DTM).
1. DATA USEDDEM Data: Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) dataData Source: http://srtm.csi.cgiar.orgSoftware Used: ArcGIS
2. METHODOLOGY: Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data has been used for creation of Digital ElevationModel of the study area. The SRTM data has vertical accuracy of 16m and the spatial resolution of 90m.
1st Stage:The first processing stage involves importing and merging the 1-degree tiles into continuous elevation surfaces in Arc GRID format.2nd Stage:Resampling the data at 23 m is done and a contour interval of 10m through the usual process of interpolation is created.3rd Stage:SRTM data is converted in grid format through ArcGIS to obtain elevation information of the study area. Contours are then generated at 2.0 m intervals through 3D analyst of Arc GIS and then are interpolated with raster data.4th Stage:Integration of DEM with contour map showing 3D view for analysis of surface is done.

3.9.3. Land UseIntroduction
Mankind’s presence on the earth and his modifications to the landscape has had a profound effect upon the natural environment. These anthropogenic influences on shifting patterns of land use are a primary component of many current environmental concerns as land use and land cover change is gaining recognition as a key driver of environmental change (Riebsame et al, 1994). Changes in land use and land cover are pervasive, increasingly rapid, and can have adverse impacts and implications at local, regional and global scales. Present study to better understand the impact of land use change within the buffer zone of 10 km radius around the projects, the factors affecting land use needs to be examined.
3.9.3.1. Methodology
IMAGE PROCESSING: Image processing software and GIS Software were used for the project. Image Processing Software was used for digital processing of the spatial data. Digital image processing techniques were applied for the mapping of the land use/land cover classes of the provided area from the satellite data. The methodology applied comes under following steps:
● Satellite imagery for the Area of Interest was created through image processing software.
● Geometric correction includes correction for geometric distortions due to sensor, earth geometry variations and conversion of the data to real world coordinates.
● Image enhancement is one of the important image processing functions primarily done to improve the appearance of the imagery to assist in visual interpretation and analysis.
● Google image is used as a reference map for base layer preparation.
Visual interpretation technique has been used for digitization of geographical features for different land use and vegetation cover classes based on spatial patterns of geographic features.

3.9.3.2. Interpretation of Satellite Image
Supervised Classification and Visual interpretation technique has been used for digitization of geographical features for different land use and vegetation cover classes based on spatial patterns of geographic features. Spectral signature represents various land use classes. Image interpretation keys are developed based on image characteristics like color, tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, shadow, association etc, which enables interpretation of satellite images for ground feature. Statistics of geographic features have been developing for impact assessment due to project activity.
After the above process the final LULC map has been prepared. The Flow chart of the methodology is given Below:

3.10.5. Data InterpretationPost Monsoon Season (Oct19-Dec19) : After analysing the samples collected from the site shows that the soil texture in the core zone is Sandy Loam, Colour is Brown, pH is 8.9. Amount of primary nutrients like Organic matter is 0.3%, the available nitrogen 85.4 mg/kg is in low range and available Potassium 56.8 mg/kg is in low range while the available Phosphorus 8.6 mg/kg is in higher range in the fertility class of Soil. Thus it can be concluded that soil is average fertile in the core Zone.
Buffer Zone: Color varies from Brown to Dull Reddish Brown, pH ranges from 5.9 to 9.3. Amount of primary nutrients like Organic matter 0.2 % to 0.6 %, the Available
Proposed Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer Manufacturing Unit at Palamu District, JharkhandBy M/s Suntek Plasticizers Private Limited
Prepared by- M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. D- 122
Nitrogen 35.0 mg/kg to 106.4 mg/kg is lower in range, the Available Phosphorus 7.8 mg/kg – 18.8 mg/kg is high in range, Available Potassium 12.8 mg/kg to 34.7 mg/kg is medium to high in range, Primary nutrient profile shows that soil is average fertile due to the availability of low amount of nitrogen, available potassium.
Primary nutrient profile shows average fertile soil along the stretch. Nitrogen is the most important fertilizer element. Plants respond quickly to application of nitrogen. This element encourages above ground vegetative growth and gives a deep green color to the leaves & Potassium is the third essential fertilizer element and it is essential for photosynthesis, for protein synthesis, for starch formation and for the translocation of sugars. So, the addition of bio fertilizers will enhance the fertility of soil.
3.11. Biological Environment A reduction and deterioration of ecosystem services entails loss of biodiversity directly affecting the economic and social system, which guarantees the availability of food, human health, and a steady supply of healthy air and water. Ecosystems have the capacity to adapt to changes and absorb impacts. Throughout history they have been transformed by the action of man, but in the last 100 years this transformation has been faster and more extensive than in any other comparable period. As a result, the Earth's biodiversity has been considerably impoverished. The extinction of species threatens not just nature, but humanity itself. All living beings, including humans, depend on biodiversity and the natural resources such diversity provides.
In accordance with environmental regulation, we study Baseline data for environmental impact assessment to minimise a projects environmental impact. An evaluation of existing baseline ecological conditions in the study area before starting the construction as far as possible, adopting the best available methods and measures for minimising and mitigating project impact. Data collected through extensive survey of flora and fauna of the area.
Purpose of study
The present study was undertaken with the following objectives:
● Desktop study of the project details, ecologically sensitive area, nearby habitat, Reserve forest, land type of core zone.

● Preparation of Flora and Fauna inventory with schedule or statues of the species.
● Secondary literature study of the proposed study area for better understanding of the Ecology and biodiversity of the area
3.11.1. Methodology for the study of Flora and Fauna:During the study, the floral composition of the area was evaluated through a primary questionnaire based survey. The study area was divided according to habitat types followed by the random sampling method i.e, identification of flora species, exploration of the area, collection of species, and preparation of specimens for lateral identification. Faunal species were observed with the help of methods like standard walk transect, visual encounter survey, etc at different times of the day.
During the survey, photographs were taken for the better identification of species. Primary and Secondary data collected was cross-checked with the traditional knowledge of the people of the study region. As the region is of rich diversity of flora and fauna, the data collection was cross checked with forest data and other secondary resources .

3.12. Socio-economic EnvironmentIntroduction:
Socio-Economic Impact Assessment is the systematic tool used to identify and evaluate the potential socio-economic and cultural impacts of a proposed development activities on livelihood of local communities. SEIA helps to reduce, remove or prevent the potential significant adverse impacts. It can identify and distinguish the impacts due to proposed development and also tends to show the people who are directly or indirectly impacted due to the project activities. It focuses on the avoidance of adverse impacts and helps to plan how to maximize the beneficial impacts of a proposed development.
The socio-economic report is prepared after analyzing the expected beneficial or adverse impacts of project Proposed Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer Manufacturing Unit at village Dandila kurd, Bishrampur, Palamu district, Jharkhand. The report is prepared by referring District Census Data, 2011 of Palamu, Jharkhand and primary survey conducted by the socio-economic team four persons of M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. comprising of Mrs. Rachna Bhargava as the team leader, Ms. Tulika Rawat, and Mr. Pramod as team members. The details from different villages have been collected by conducting face to face interviews with the villagers or village head.

Concept & Definitions
Study Area: The study area, also known as impact area, has been defined as the total of core area and buffer area with 10 Kilometres from the periphery of the core area. The study area includes all the land-marks both natural and manmade, falling therein.
QoL: The Quality of Life (QoL) refers to the degree to which a person enjoys the important possibilities of his/her life. The ‘Possibilities’ result from the opportunities and limitations, each person has in his/her life and reflects the interaction of personal and environmental factors. Enjoyment has two components: the experience of satisfaction and the possession or achievement of some characteristic.
Household: A group of persons who normally live together and take their meals from a common kitchen are called a household. Persons living in a household may be related or unrelated or a mix of both. However, if a group of related or unrelated people live in a house but do not take their meals from the common kitchen, then they are not part of a common household. Each such person is treated as a separate household. There may be one member households, two member households or multi-member households.
Sex Ratio: Sex ratio is the ratio of females to males in a given population. It is expressed as 'number of females per 1000 males.
Literates: All persons aged 7 years and above who can both read and write with understanding in any language are taken as literate.

Labour Force: The labour force is the number of people employed and unemployed in a geographical entity. The size of the labour force is the total of persons employed and unemployed. An unemployed person is defined as a person not employed but actively seeking work. Normally, the labour force of a country consists of everyone of working age (around 14 to 16 years) and below retirement (around 65 years) that are participating workers, that is people actively employed or seeking employment. People not counted under the labour force are students, retired persons, stay-at-home people, people in prisons, permanently disabled persons and discouraged workers.
Work: Work is defined as participation in any economically productive activity with or without compensation, wages or profit. Such participation may be physical and/or mental in nature. Work involves not only actual work but also includes effective supervision and direction of work. The work may be part time, full time, or unpaid work in a farm, family enterprise or in any other economic activity.
Worker: All persons engaged in 'work' are defined as workers. Persons who are engaged in cultivation or milk production even solely for domestic consumption are also treated as workers.
Main Workers: Those workers who had worked for the major part of the reference period (i.e. 6 months or more in the case of a year) are termed as Main Workers.
Marginal Workers: Those workers who did not work for the major part of the reference period (i.e. less than 6 months) are termed as Marginal Workers
Work Participation Rate: The work participation rate is the ratio between the labour force and the overall size of their cohort (national population of the same age range). In the present study the work participation rate is defined as the percentage of total workers (main and marginal) to total population.
Crude Death Rate: Crude death rate is the number of deaths occurring among the population of a given geographical area during a given year, per 1000 mid-year total population of a given geographical area during the same year.
Infant Mortality Rate: Infant mortality rate is the number of deaths per 1000 live births of children under one year of age.
Infant Mortality Rate= (Number of children death under 1-year age ÷ Number of live births during the Year) × 1000.
APL: It stands for Above Poverty Line. In India, a measure of persons who live above its nationally designated poverty threshold. According to the World Bank a person is

This area is moderately developed with well connectivity of roadways, drinking water is sourced mainly through hand pump, tubewell, borewell but in few villages people also depend on open well and river water to meet their daily water requirements. The village areas are developing day by day but still lacking proper education and health facilities. These villages have small private shops and transport facilities like Bicycles, Bikes, Tractors, Tempo and cars are available. Most of the population depends on agricultural activities for their livelihood. The comprehensive data of the buffer area with census data 2011, of Palamu district is shown below.

They are more aware about the importance of education. The main reason behind the
Proposed Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer Manufacturing Unit at Palamu District, JharkhandBy M/s Suntek Plasticizers Private Limited
Prepared by- M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. D- 149
low literacy rate of the study area is due to unemployment, poverty and not better education facilities available in every village. It is observed at the time of survey that most of the population about 66% of the total population depends on agriculture activities like either they work in their own field or they work as daily wage labourers in others field. About 23% of the total population migrated towards cities for work. They work in industries as a labour for their livelihood. Only 9% are employed in government service and 2% have their own business like small private shops.
The development of the Proposed Chlorinated Paraffin Plasticizer Unit in the area will generate temporary & permanent employment opportunities for the local people which improve the living standards of the community. It will also generate indirect employment opportunities for people in the form of drivers, shopkeepers, guards, gardeners etc.

4. Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation MeasuresPrediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment studies. Several scientific techniques and methodologies are available to predict impacts of developmental activities on physical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction of impacts helps to minimize the adverse impacts on environmental quality during pre-and post-project execution.
Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project and secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and typically include the associated investment and changed patterns of social and economic activities by the proposed actions.
4.1. Impact Assessment MethodologyFor the proposed project, the impact assessment shall be performed in following steps:
● Identification of interactions between activities and environmental receptors. ● Identification of potentially significant environmental impacts.
Based on this preliminary identification, environmental indices that are likely to be impacted due to the project are:
● Land use / Land cover: Land use will not change as the construction/alteration will be done within the existing unit land. However, land cover will be changed with the Construction/installation and alteration of sheds.
● Air quality: Dust generation during construction/installation, vehicle movement, loading/unloading, manufacturing process, transportation and operation of DG set, APCS, etc.
● Noise: Vehicle movement during construction, operation of DG set, APCS, manufacturing process, loading/unloading.

Prepared by- M/s Perfact Enviro Solutions Pvt. Ltd. D- 156
● Water: Disposal of waste water from construction activity/ labour, process water, cooling tower, washing and other domestic use
● Soil: Excavation activity and chemical contamination.● Storage and handling of Chemicals, solid and hazardous waste.● Ecology and Biodiversity: Construction activities and emission from
operational activities may have an effect on the avi fauna and the existing plantation of the study area.
● Socio – Economic: There will be both Positive and negative impact. Positive impact due to creation of jobs and increase in indirect income. Indirect impact on the surrounding environment due to air emissions, solid waste generation and Noise generation
● Occupational health, community Health and safety: Occupational risk during various activities associated with construction and the running of the project.
