solid waste shall be duly segregated into biodegradable, non-biodegradable and recyclable components. The recyclable components shall be sold to resellers for re-use. The biodegradable component shall be converted into compost using mechanical composter. The inert waste left will be dumped to authorized dumping site.

33

3. MITIGATING IMPACTS ON WATER ENVIRONMENT______

Construction phase

As mentioned above the construction related solid waste as malba, loose soil etc. will be removed immediately thus controlling run-off during development/construction phase.

The land clearing activity shall be kept to the absolute minimum by working at the specific sites one by one where construction is to take place.

During Construction a Water demand of 273 KLD may be there depending upon phases of construction. This will include domestic demand for @150workers during peak period i.e. 7 KL/d (@ 45 lpcd).

There shall be no discharge as such from the water used for construction, as it will be consumed in the process. There shall thus be no impact on ground or surface water resources.

The surface water environment can be slightly affected if run-off over excavated material or construction material dumps during monsoons carries the materials along with. The excavation and other construction debris as construction material shall be kept in identified areas and used within the project so that it is not carried along with run-off. The site further does not interfere/ obstructs any natural drain.

tertiary level of treatment i.e BOD < 5 mg/l and after disinfection to recycle the sewage for gardening and use in toilets for flushing as per water balance diagram. The remaining treated sewage shall be discharged into sewer line

34

4. MITIGATING IMPACTS ON LAND ENVIRONMENT________ Construction phase

To avoid erosion of the top soil the development is planned in the shortest possible time and land-clearing activity shall be kept to the absolute minimum by working at the specific sites one by one where construction is to take place so as to increase detention and infiltration. These conditions shall be made a part of contract agreement.

The activities that result in soil being laid bare shall be scheduled in such a way

that some type of vegetative cover appropriate to the site shall be established prior to onset of monsoons.

The solid waste generated from the construction activities shall be effectively

recycled within the project.

The requirements of sand and aggregates for the construction works are met from authorized sources. The fly ash based cement shall be used for the purpose.

For the construction works the use of wood shall not be allowed (Timber Free

Construction) and all shuttering shall be of mild steel. The use of MDB, Mild Steel, Aluminium, Glass and Plastic shall be undertaken to the extent possible to reduce the use of wood.

The land use as proposed shall not be altered.

Operation phase

A storm water network and sewer system is designed for the project. There is no vegetation to remove. The land is earmarked for residential use and the development is proposed as per land use, thus there are minimum chances of effect on land environment; however, following points shall be taken care:

The landscaping shall be undertaken to aid the natural drainage.

About 2202 Kg/day of solid waste shall be generated from the proposed project

that shall be adequately handled. Thus there are no chances of solid waste interfering with land environment.

35

5. ENERGY MANAGEMENT_____________________________

The land use is so planned that there is minimum adverse impact and maximum use of principles of eco design. A fundamental principle of solar design is to maximize the solar gain in the winter and minimize it in the summer and is used to the extent possible practically. The layout and green belt is planned taking care of principles of eco-design. Only surfaces facing South receive sun all year round. The dominant direction of the sun is from South, especially in winter. Building is oriented for optimum solar heat gain and reduce energy consumption.

Paved areas are kept to minimum thereby avoiding heat islands on site and

reducing temperatures. 6. LIGHTS_______________________________________________

An energy-efficient lighting system shall be provided to include the following:

More light is not necessarily better. Human visual performance depends on light quality as well as quantity, Match the amount and quality of light to the performed function, Install task lights where needed and reduce ambient light elsewhere, Use energy-efficient light components and systems, Maximize the use of day-lighting

Fluorescent Light Fixtures shall be installed for all ceiling and wall-mounted

fixtures that will be on for more than 2 hours each day.

LED shall be used, rather than CFL in incandescent fixtures, so that fluorescent bulbs continue to be used for the life of the house.

Light wall colors shall be used to minimize the need for artificial lighting.

Outdoor lighting generally serves one or a combination of three main purposes:

Aesthetic: illuminate the exterior of the building and landscape, Security: illuminate the grounds near the building or driveway, Utility: illuminate the porch and driveway to help people navigate safely to and from the building.

Energy-efficient outdoor lighting shall be achieved through:

Low-pressure sodium vapour lamps which provide the most energy-efficient

outdoor lighting shall be used along the road and security lighting. It shall be ensured that outdoor light fixtures have reflectors, deflectors, or covers to make more efficient use of the light source.

36

7. EMERGENCY PLAN_________________________________

Since the projects may face fire hazards or other emergency situations an

emergency plan is provided to caution the people during any accidents. The fundamental approach, governing fire safety attempts to ensure that fires do not at all start in the first place and if they occur, to restrain their spread by quick detection and extinguishments.

Fire detection: Despite the many precautions taken, fires may breakout. Hence

the residential colony should have established measures to detect a fire and to extinguish it. Automatic fire detection has many advantages such as speed and reliability and is recommended.

Depending on the nature of the occupancy and the hazard, a variety of detection

systems are available. They are activated by one of the effects of fire such as temperature rise, smoke, flame or heat and can be coupled to an alarm system which would provide visual/ audible alarms at designed manned locations. They can also be designed to automatically activate fire-extinguishing systems. The selection/ installation of the detection system should conform to the applicable national standards.

Extinguishing system: Equipment for the fighting should be chosen with care

and suited to the task. Fires are classified depending on the materials involved and appropriate extinguishing agents are also recommended. Table-I gives the classification/ recommendation as per Indian Standard IS-2490. The extinguishing agents mentioned are applied to the fire using portable or fixed appliances. To fight fires at their incipient stage, portable extinguishers prove very useful. These must be provided in adequate numbers at appropriate locations and people pshould be thoroughly trained in their use.

37

Table-I: Fires - Classification & Extinguishing Media Class of tire Description Extinguishing

medium Indian Standard

A Fires involving ordinary combustible materials, like woods, paper textiles, etc. where the cooling effect of water is essential for the extinction of fire.

933 2878 2171 4308

C Fires involving gaseous substances under pressure where it is necessary to dilute the burning gas at a very fast ate with an inert gas or powder.

Carbon dioxide Dry Chemical powder The best way to extinguish such fires is by stopping the flow of fuel gas to the fire. Container is kept cool with water spray

2878 2171, 4308

D Fires involving metals like magnesium, aluminium, zinc, potassium, etc. where the burning metal is reactive to water and which requires special extinguishing media or technique.

Special dry powders 2171 4861

38

The task of accident and emergency control can be simplified and made effective if pre-planned systems and procedures are available. Without these, important matters may be overlooked at the time of an emergency

Every management must survey the total operation to identify potential for fire losses and develop an action plan to put the business back to normal with minimum loss of time. A fire protection Manual should be prepared, preferably in 3-parts. The first part should outline the fire risks in terms of locations, equipment and facilities and indicate the ways in which risks have been minimized. The second part would set out operating procedures, standards of fire protection established, and maintenances of these standards action to betaken in the event of fire by every level of management responsibility for inspection and repair. It should also include instructions for staff responsible for building services. The third part should outline the training required for existing and new staff, the inspection schedules and check lists, sources of additional information and help.

The Management Cell of the project shall keep ready a plan to alert and take care of residents in case there is any fire. There shall be designated an Emergency Team that shall consist of staff of maintenance department, security supervisor representative of promoter.

8. ENVIRONMENT MONITORING PROGRAMME___________

Regular monitoring of all significant environmental parameters is essential to

check the compliance status vis-à-vis the environmental laws and regulation. The objectives of the monitoring will be as follows:

a. To verify the results of the impact assessment study with respect to the proposed

projects. b. To study the trend of concentrated values of the parameters, which have been

identified as critical and then planning the mitigating measures. c. To check and assess the efficacy of pollution control equipment. d. To ensure that any additional parameters, other than those identified in the impact,

do not turn critical after the commissioning of proposed project.

To implement the EMP, a structured Environment Management Cell (EMC) interwoven with the existing management system will be created. EMC will undertake regular monitoring of the environment and conduct yearly audit of the environmental performance during the construction of the project. It will also check that the stipulated measures are being satisfactorily implemented and operated. It shall also co-ordinate with local authorities to see that all environmental measures are well coordinated. A comprehensive environmental monitoring program as laid down by State Pollution Control Board shall be followed.

All the above observations will be complied and documented by the EMC to

serve the following purposes. a. Identification of any environmental problems that are occurring in the area. b. Initiating or providing solution to those problems through designed channels and

verification of the implementation status. c. Controlling activities inside the project, until the environmental problem has been

corrected. d. Suitably responding to emergency situations.

9. ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT CELL The Environment Management Cell shall include:

a. Representative of Management b. Representative of Project Management Consultants c. Process In-charge from STP/SWM and Water Works d. In-charge Maintenance Department e. A representative of Environmental Consultants f. A representative of local authority

10. GREEN BELT_________________________________________

The landscaping and green belt will be designed and trees will be planted in open areas, around plot boundary along footpaths and dividers. Standard practice will be followed for planting of saplings in pits of substantial dimensions, 1m x 1m x 1m for big trees and almost half of these dimensions for smaller trees and shrubs. The pits shall then be filled with earth, sand, silt and manure in predetermined proportions. Saplings planted in the pits will be watered liberally. The growing plants will be cared for the first five years under favorable conditions of climate and drainage. Care will be taken for nutrient supplement (healthy growth), plant protection, absence of water stress (to maintain openness of stomata apertures and epidermal structures) and exposure to normal atmospheric conditions (free air flow). The guidelines as laid out in National Building Code of India shall be followed in the overall development of Green Belt. The plants shall be selected out of plants given in plant species guidelines by CPCB.

11. COST OF ENVIRONMENT PROTECTION_______________

The implementation of the pollution control and environmental monitoring and management programmes is the basis of mitigation of impacts. The development is essential for economic growth but at the same time the environment is to be preserved for future generations.
