E-4 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

The base line data were monitored for December-10 to February-11,

with regard to environmental quality in the area e.g. ambient air

quality, noise levels, water quality, soil characteristics, flora & fauna

and parameters concerning human interest. The relevant impacts on

various environmental components were predicted using appropriate

mathematical models and impact assessment techniques. An

appropriate environmental management plan delineated to minimize

the adverse impacts.

E-5 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at Six AAQM

locations, with a frequency of twice a week continuously for three

months, to assess the existing sub-regional air quality status in winter

season. The Respirable Dust Sampler and Fine particulate sampler

along with the analytical methods prescribed by CPCB were used for

carrying out air quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations;

PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable

the comparison with ambient air quality standards prescribed by the

Central Pollution Control Board.

The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for

different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard

deviation, minimum and maximum concentration and various

percentile values.

Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all

the locations ranged between 44-59 μg/m3 and 62-78 μg/m3 whereas

the stipulated standards of CPCB for industrial areas 100 μg/m3.



Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly concentrations of

SPM value at all the locations ranged between 25-34 μg/m3 and 36-47

μg/m3 respectively, which are meeting the stipulated standard of 60

μg/m3. The 24-hourly concentration values show that the values are

well within the prescribed limit.

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of

arithmetic mean at all the locations ranged between 10-15 μg/m3 and

14-22 μg/m3 respectively, which are well within the stipulated

standards 80 μg/m3.

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of

arithmetic mean at all the locations ranged between 09-17 μg/m3 and

14-23 μg/m3 respectively, which are much lower than the standards of

80 μg/m3.

E-6 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Sodium (ranges from 202 mg/l to 292 mg/l) and Chloride (ranges from

320 mg/l to 474 mg/l).

Conclusions: Ground water samples from villages generally meet the

permissible limit.

E-7 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 53.1

to 61.9 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded near Bus stop Vavadi

(61.9 dB (A)) while the Leq values of noise levels during night time

(Ln) varied between40.0 to 53.2 dB (A). Highest Ln value was

recorded at Bus stop Vavadi (53.2 dB (A)).

E-8 ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

Air Environment

The main point sources will be flue gas emission from the stacks

attached to boilers, thermic fluid heater and hot air generators due to

combustion of bio fuel (Briquettes) and process gas emissions i.e.

ammonia gas, from the two reactor vessels.

Since Bio fuel will be used as fuel, comparatively less pollution will be

generated. However, the unit proposes to install dust collector to each

of the stacks.



Chimney heights have been chosen such that the generated pollutants

disperse effectively and ensure that the ground level concentrations of

pollutants in the surrounding environment remain well within the

permissible limits. The unit proposes to provide adequate stack height

of 30.0 m and 15.0 m respectively to flue gas stacks and process gas

stacks.

To minimize fugitive emission, the unit has adopted the practice of

carrying out entire manufacturing process into closed vessel as well as

provided adequate scrubbing system for efficient absorption of process

gas.

Special care is also taken while material handling and storage. To

reduce the pollutant emission during transportation, the unit has

adopted the practice of regular check up and maintenance of vehicular

engines for complete combustion of the fuel.

In the present study, the mathematical model that has been used for

prediction on air quality includes steady state Gaussian Plume

Dispersion model designed for multiple point sources.

Air Quality Modelling and Predictions

It is predicted that the maximum contribution in GLCs, with units

operating at full capacity, is 3.469 μg/m3, 0.817 μg/m3 and 0.661

μg/m3 for SPM, SO2 and NOx respectively and for NH3 maximum GLC

will be 1.351 μg/m3. The point of maximum concentration by unit

would be 2.0 km from centre of industry in E direction for SPM, SO2

and NOx and 1.0 km from centre of industry in E direction for NH3.

With this marginal contribution due to the proposal of the project, the

levels of PM, SO2 and NOX well within the permissible limits as

prescribed by CPCB.

Water Environment

The main source of the water will be ground water. The unit will install

its own bore wells within premises to satisfy its fresh water demand.

Necessary permission will also be obtained from CGWA.



The fresh water requirement for the proposed project will be

683.0 KLD, out of which 671.0 KLD will be utilized for industrial

purpose and remaining 12.0 KLD will be utilized for domestic and

gardening purpose.

The waste water generation will be from the process, washing, boiler

blow down, cooling bleed off, RO reject, etc. Entire quantity of

industrial effluent will be separated into three streams. Concentrated

acidic stream will be segregated and neutralized. Then neutralized

effluent will be collected and mixed with general stream and treated at

its own effluent treatment plant comprising of primary and secondary

treatment facilities followed by tertiary treatment units. Whereas the

third utility stream will be collected into treated effluent collection

sump. After confirmation of stipulated effluent discharged norms,

entire quantity of treated effluent will be discharged into Mahi River

through ECP channel.

Solid Waste Management

The entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed

as per Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans boundary

Movement) Rules’2008. ETP sludge will be sold to cement

manufacturers or sent to approved TSDF site whereas discarded

barrels/bags will be properly cleaned & sold to approved end users and

if excess then reuse within premises. Spent/waste oil will also be sold

to CPCB approved recyclers.

The unit will provide isolated area for the storage of hazardous waste

having leachate collection system, impervious floor and roof cover.

Thus, hazardous waste management system provided by the unit will

be adequate.

Green Belt Development

The unit will do plantation in around 11220 sq. m, which will be around

33% of total land area.

CHAPTER-1

Introduction 1.1 BACKGROUND OF THE COMPANY

The Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II is the proposed unit to be

located at Block No. 164 to 170, Village: Vedach, Taluka: Jambusar,

Dist: Bharuch, State: Gujarat. The unit proposes to manufacture various

pigments at the proposed premises. The unit proposes to manufacture

Copper Pthalocyanine Blue (CPC Blue), Pigment Alpha Blue and Pigment

Beta Blue of 700.0 TPM, 75.0 TPM and 200.0 TPM capacity respectively.

There will also be generation of Ammonium Carbonate Solution (12-

15%) as by-product up to 600.0 TPM or or Ammonium Sulphate as by-

product up to 1200.0 TPM.

The unit is directed by Mr. Dahyabhai Patel (Managing Director) who is

(B.Sc. Chemistry) and having total experience of 30 yrs. He is also

supported by Mr. Mehul Patel-Director, who is (B. E. Chemical-MBA) and

having total experience of 3 yrs. and other technical staff.

1.2 PURPOSE & NEED OF E.I.A

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a formal document provided

by the project proponent and preferably prepared by an independent

consultant, which summarizes the process and results of the

environmental analysis of a project having the potential for significant

and diverse impacts. Environmental analysis is the process of evaluating

the environmental impact of a project and identifying ways to improve

the project environmentally by preventing, minimizing, mitigating and

or compensating for adverse impacts.

M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II falls under the category of 5(f)

of schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 “Synthetic Organic Chemicals

Industry” and categorized under “A” because unit is located outside of



notified industrial area. Therefore, units require Environmental

Clearance of the proposed project.

In view of the above, monitoring work has been carried out for all the

environmental attributers by M/s. San Envirotech Pvt. Ltd-

Ahmedabad.

The Environmental (Protection) Act-1986 (Environmental Impact

Assessment Notification, 2006) established the requirements for

preparing Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) in India. The EIAs

subsequently have been prepared, on an individual basis for

new/expansion of project. While the project specific EIAs have been

successful to varying extent in the incorporation of environmental

objectives in the project design, several experiments have been done to

address the issue of cumulative environmental impacts by carrying out

Regional Environmental Impact studies. This has given a basis for

evaluating total environmental impacts of the region and hence helped

in planning at the regional level. Other uses of EIA tool have been in the

Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA), now mandatory in many

industrialized countries, to evaluate environmental impacts of policies

and programs. Hence, EIA tool has been improvised and used

innovatively for assisting decision-makers in assessment of

environmental impacts and considering alternative mitigation measures

in a variety of situations.

Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required to be carried out

only for certain categories of projects and the criteria for screening have

been provided in the Act. Thus, EIA is essentially made applicable to

industrial and developmental projects, which are more likely to have

significant environmental impacts. Different criteria have been used for

screening. Indian regulation utilizes project category based on the Scale

1.6 OBJECTIVES OF EIA

EIA is a policy and management tool for both planning and decision

making. EIA assists in identification, prediction and evaluation of the

foreseeable environmental consequences of proposed developmental

and industrial projects.

The objectives of the present EIA Study is to assess the impacts on

various environmental components due to the proposed project and to

recommend appropriate environmental management plant for the unit

to ensure that the adverse impacts if any will be minimized. Moreover to

prepare an Environmental Statement to indicate conclusively if the

overall impacts are positive or negative.

1.7 Scope of EIA

The scope of present Environment Impact Assessment includes following

studies,

• Collection and evaluation of project details and related documents

• Analysis of the quality of gaseous emission, wastewater analysis,

hazardous waste generation based on the monitoring results for the

last one year

• Assessment of pollution potential due to proposed project

• Collection and evaluation of present environmental baseline status

within an impact zone of 5-km radial distance from the project site

on environmental parameters/attributes considering the proposed

activities like,

• Ambient Air quality

• Water quality and surrounding environmental water bodies.

• Soil quality

• Noise levels

• Meteorology and climates.

• Land use pattern and socio-economic status

• Identification, assessment and evaluation of the beneficial and

adverse impacts on surrounding environment due to proposed



project activities considering the existing baseline status along with

compilation of other information

• Identify the sources and impact of hazards, if any

• Base on the same suggest and design risk assessment plant and

disaster management plant to prevent any hazard

• Preparation of final Environmental Impact Statement & EMP

1.8 Methodology for EIA

Environmental Assessment (EA), another term used in the

environmental studies, refers to an understanding of the present status

of environment and a study of how to manage them. Keeping in view

the nature and size of the proposed project and industrial area and

various guidelines available, it was decided to cover an area of 5-km

radius from the center of proposed plant site for the purpose of

environmental impact assessment study. The methodology is briefly

reported below and has been described in this section.

Project Components

The proposed project will be in the outside of notified industrial estate

located at Block No. 164 to 170, Village: Vedach, Taluka: Jambusar,

Dist: Bharuch, State: Gujarat. The company will appoint experts of

different fields like process, R & D, safety & Environment and moreover,

the company has a large experience in the respective field to take care

of the plant in all respect.

A useful way of identifying many of the potential impacts of a project is

to consider all the aspects of the projects and its receiving environment

and systematically identify the potential for interactions between them.

The first step is to draw up a list of all project components and activities

during each phase of its implementation. The possible components of

proposed project could lead to environmental impacts are described in

this section based on the understanding of Chemical industry.



Environmental Components

Defining all the possible aspects of the environment is essential for

identification of potential impacts. This may cover features of the

environment (e.g. habitats, settlements, and historic sites); aspects of

environmental quality (e.g. air quality, water quality, noise, physical

conditions, soil stability and hydrology) and uses of the environment

(e.g. agriculture, recreation and fishing). This will be done with

generation of base line data.

Baseline data Collection

The baseline data for the impact zone have been generated for the

following environmental parameters:

• Ambient Air Quality

• Micrometeorology

• Noise Levels

• Surface and ground water quality

• Soil Quality

• Flora and fauna

• Land use pattern

• Occupational structure and socio-economics

The baseline status of the above environmental parameters has been

worked out based on the rapid monitoring/analysis carried out during

the study period of one season i.e. Decemeber-10 to February-10,

supplemented by data collected from various government departments,

census publications etc.

Evaluation of Impact from Project Activities

The environmental Impact resulting from the various project activities,

have been identified, predicted and evaluated based on the study of

manufacturing process and other project related activities as well as

correlating the same with existing base line status.

Preparation of Environmental Management Plan

Environmental Management plan has been prepared covering pollution

prevention measures at source in terms of air and water pollution



control measures, solid waste/ hazardous waste management, safety

management, green belt development, environmental surveillance and

environmental management team.

Finally, the detailed assessment of the resultant environmental impacts

have been made based on the impacts identification and evaluated from

the activities over the baseline status of various environmental

components.

1.9 Justification for the project site

2.8 INPUT REQUIREMENTS & INFRASTRUCTURE FACILITIES INCLUDING POWER SOURCES

Being a proposed project, no existing infrastructure facilities are there.

We will create following infrastructure facilities at our proposed location.

The details of infrastructure facilities are given hereunder,

2.8.1Water

The main source of the water will be ground water. The unit will install

its own bore wells within premises to satisfy its fresh water demand.

Necessary permission will also be obtained from CGWA. The fresh water

requirement for the proposed project will be 683.0 KLD, out of which

671.0 KLD will be utilized for industrial purpose and remaining 12.0 KLD

will be utilized for domestic purpose. Recovered condensate water from

multi effect evaporator will be used for greenbelt development.

The detail break up of the water consumption is given in Table-2.2.

The water Balance diagram is also given in Figure-2.1.

2.8.2 Fuel

2.9 GENERATION OF POLLUTANTS

2.9.1 The details of pollutant generation is given hereunder,

A) Liquid Effluent

Effluent likely to be generated after proposed project will be divided

mainly into three streams, i.e.,

(i) concentrated stream (i.e. ML of acidic treatment of CPC Blue)

(ii) general/weak stream from manufacturing activities of other

product from Manufacturing stream

(iii) Effluent from the utility section i.e. DM plant regeneration, cooling

bleed off, boiler blow down etc.

The unit proposes to provide its own Effluent Treatment Plant consisting

of primary and secondary treatment facilities within premises and after

treatment entire quantity of treated effluent will be conveyed to estuary

of Mahi River. The details of industrial wastewater generation are

depicted in Table-2.2.

B) Gaseous Emissions

The main source of air pollution will be flue gas stacks and process gas

stacks. There will be three nos. of flue gas stacks which will be attached

to the boilers (2 nos.), Thermic Fluid Heaters (3 nos.) and Hot air

generators (3 nos.) where bio fuel (briquettes) will be used as fuel.

Whereas two nos. of reactors where ammonia gas will be liberated.

Adequate stack height of the 30.0 mt and 15.0 mt will be provided

respectively to each of the flue gas stacks and process gas stacks for

proper dispersion of gaseous emission.



2-11

The details of the flue gas stacks and process gas stacks are given in

Table-2.3.

C) Fugitive Emission

There will also be chances of the fugitive emission due to handling of

process gas emission and hazardous chemicals as well as due to

liberation of the excess solvents from the reactors.

However, to prevent the same the unit will take all the precautionary

measures like adequate scrubbing system to absorb the process gas and

to carry out entire process in the closed reactors, etc.

D) Hazardous/ Solid waste

The main source of hazardous waste generation will be ETP sludge from

the Effluent Treatment facilities. The other sources will be discarded

barrels/bags/liners/drums and spent/waste oil from the material

handling and storage and plant & machinery.

The details of the hazardous waste are given Table-2.4.

E) Noise

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech

and hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise

annoying. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has

an adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can

also disturb natural wildlife and ecological system. Sound is mechanical

energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by cyclic series of

compression and rarefaction of molecules of the materials through which

it passes.

Sound can be transmitted through gases, liquids and solids. The number

of compressions and rarefactions of the air molecules in the unit of time

is described as its frequency. Frequency is expressed in hertz (Hz),

which is the same as the number of cycles per second.

2.9.2 POLLUTION CONTROL STRATEGY

The unit proposes to provide adequate and efficient Environmental

Management System. The details are given hereunder,

A) Effluent Management



2-12

The unit proposes to provide its own Effluent Treatment Plant within

premises comprising of primary and secondary treatment facilities to

treat industrial effluent likely to be generated after proposed project.

After meeting effluent discharge norms, entire quantity of industrial

effluent will be discharged into ECP channel of Mahi River.

The stream wise brief description of effluent treatment scheme is given

hereunder,

(I) Concentrated Streams

The concentrated stream i.e. highly acidic ML will be segregated and

collected in acid proof brick lined tanks. Higher acidic effluent will be

reuse in the production of CPC crude and for production of by products

(Ammonium Sulphate). Dilute Acidic effluent will be taken into ETP

collection tank. The pH of acidic effluent will be raised to 9.5 using

hydrated lime, so as to precipitate out the copper salts in the form of

copper hydroxide and it will be pumped to plate and frame type of filter

press. The filtered from plate and frame filter press will be taken to the

filtered collection tank from there it will be conveyed to collection cum

equalization tank of general stream for further treatment. The sludge will

be removed from filter press at periodically and will store separately and

then will be either sent to the TSDF site or to cement manufacturing

units.

(II) General Stream:

The general stream consisting of wastewater other than concentrated ML

from process will be collected in equalization cum collection tank fitted

with stirring facilities. From where effluent will be pumped to flash mixer

after correcting to desired level of pH. In the flash mixer required

chemical will be added and then it will be taken to flocculation chamber

for effective formation of flocs. The overflow of flocculation will be taken

to primary settling tank for settlement of the flocs. The settled sludge

from the PST will be removed and sent to filter press for dewatering.



2-13

The clear supernatant from PST will be sent to the aeration tank having

floating diffusion aeration system for secondary treatment.

The over flow of aeration tank with biomass will be go to the Secondary

Setting Tank where settled biomass is partly recycled back to the

aeration tank and partly wasted out in sludge sump. The over flow of the

Secondary Settling Tank is collected to final Treated Water Sump and

subjected to the tertiary treatment by passing through sand filter and

carbon filter prior to the final disposal.

After confirmation of effluent discharged norms, entire quantity of

treated effluent will be discharged in to ECP channel to Mahi River.

The details of Effluent Treatment Units are given in Table: 2.5. The

schematic flow diagram of Effluent Treatment Plant is given in Figure:

2.3.

Generated acidic water contains (NH4)2SO4 and some part of urea which

is responsible for Ammonical nitrogen in the effluent. We Will isolate

acidic effluent stream which contains ammonical nitrogen, and use to

scrub the gases (which contain ammonia and carbon dioxide). This acidic

filtrate will absorb ammonia and convert it to ammonium sulfate. As the

pH of this filtrate goes from 2 pH towards 7 pH, we will add more sulfuric

acid for faster reaction.

This will resulted in about 20% ammonium sulfate solution which we will

recover as by product by concentrating through multiple effect

evaporators. There by the effluent stream containing ammonical nitrogen

will be dealt separately and will not go to our effluent treatment plant.

Generated Ammonium Sulphate will be sold to actuak users.

B) Air Pollution Control

The unit proposes to provide separate dust collector as air pollution

control measures to each of the flue gas stacks. Whereas the unit

proposes to provide adequate scrubbing system for process gases

pollutant comprising of two stages of water or Acidic scrubbers to absorb

the process gas generating from the process reactors for recovery of by-

products and controlling the emission levels as per GPCB norms.

Adequate stack height of 30.0 m to each of the flue gas stacks and 15.0

m to each of process gas will be provided for proper dispersion of the

gaseous emission and minimizing the impact of air pollution at ground

level.

C) Hazardous/Solid Waste Management

The entire quantity of hazardous waste will be handled and disposed as

per Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Trans boundary)

Rules’2008.

The unit proposes to provide adequate area for the storage of hazardous

waste having leachate collection system, roof cover and impervious floor.

Part of the ETP sludge will be sold to cement industries and remaining

will be disposed to secured landfill site approved by GPCB. Whereas

discarded/barrels/bags/drums/liners will be decontaminated and

reused/sold to approved vendors. The spent/waste oil will be sold to

CPCB approved recyclers.

2.9.3 RESOURCE RECOVERY

Ammonium carbonate solution12-15% Conc./Ammonium

Sulphate Recovery system

Main source of Ammonia is air emission from process. This will be

scrubbed by acidic effluent generated from process.

We will isolate acidic effluent stream which contains ammonical nitrogen

and use to scrub the gases (which contain ammonia and carbon dioxide).



2-15

This acidic filtrate will absorb ammonia as ammonium sulfate. As the pH

of this filtrate goes from 2 towards 7 we will go on adding more sulfuric

acid for faster reaction.

This will resulted in about 20% ammonium sulfate solution which we will

recover as by product by concentrating through multiple effect

evaporators.

Generated Ammonium Sulphate will be sold to actual users.

Baseline Environmental Status 3.1 PRELUDE

Any developmental activities related to industrial sector are expected to

cause impacts on environmental quality in surrounding area of the

respective project locations. However, the intensity of environmental

impacts from a specific project depends on several factors such as type of

process (physical, chemical, fuel combustion etc.) involved in the project,

processing capacity (scale/size of the project), type and extent of pollution

control measures, project location, surrounding geomorphology,

demography, quality of life, etc. To assess environmental impacts from

proposed project at a specific location, it is essential to monitor the

environmental quality prevailing in the surrounding area prior to

implementation of the proposed project. The environmental status within

the impact zone could be used for identification of significant

environmental issues to be addressed in the impact assessment study.

The impacts from an existing industrial project on its surrounding

environment are mainly regulated by the nature of pollutants, their

quantities discharged to the environment, existing environmental quality,

assimilative capacity of the surrounding environment and topography and

terrain of the project site (its location) as well as the surrounding area.

In order to identify and establish the extent of likely impacts, it is essential

to gather information on existing environmental quality with regard to

various components of the environment.

3.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The impact on air environment would depend and has been identified on

the basis of identification of sources of air pollution from various process

operations; the nature of pollutants and their quantities likely to be



discharged to the atmosphere; and the baseline data on air quality. The

baseline data on air quality and micrometeorological conditions of the area

surrounding the project site have been generated through an

appropriately designed network for and monitoring of ambient air quality

(NAAQ) within the zone of likely impacts.

3.2.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations

The following criteria were taken into account while designing the ambient

air quality-monitoring network:

Topography/Terrain of the study area

Populated areas within the region

Prediction of maximum concentrations and distances of their likely

Occurrence under prevailing meteorological conditions

Representation of regional background

Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in downwind Direction

3.2.2 Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance survey was undertaken to establish the baseline status of

air environment in the study region. The prime objective of the NAAQ

survey, within 05-km radial study area around the plant, was to establish

the existing ambient air quality levels. Six Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

(AAQM) stations were selected based on the criteria used for designing the

network. The locations (relative directions and distances) of these stations

with respect to project site are given in Figure 3.5 and details of these

stations are described in Table 3.1.

The Particulate Matter (PM10), Particulate Matter (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide

(SO2) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), HC and VOCs were identified as

significant parameters for ambient air quality monitoring, particularly

because these are likely to be emitted from the industries and for which

ambient air quality standards are prescribed.



The micrometeorological data on wind speed; wind direction, temperature

and relative humidity were collected through a weather monitoring station

for the study period. The baseline status of air quality is monitored within

the study area i.e. 05-Km radial distance from project site as per the

latest regulatory guidelines.

3.2.3 Micrometeorology of the Area

The micrometeorological conditions at the project site will regulate the

transport and diffusion of air pollutants released into the atmosphere. The

principle meteorological variables are horizontal convective transport

(average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport

(atmospheric stability, mixing height) and topography of the area.

The data on surface meteorological parameters (hourly average wind

speed and direction) in the study area were collected during 1st week of

December-2010 to February-2011 using automatic weather monitoring

station placed at Industry site. The sensors of this equipment were kept at

about 10 m above ground level with free exposure to the atmosphere all

through the study period in winter season.

Windrose

The 24 hourly wind rose was prepared using the data on wind direction

and speed collected for winter season in the study area. The same, as

depicted in Figure 3.6, shows the predominant wind directions are NNW,

NW, N, NNE, and ESE implying that winds come from these directions for

most of the time during the period. The wind speed class 1-5 kmph

occurred for 32.0 %, 6-10 kmph about 18.47 %, 11-15 kmph 13.89 %

and above 15 kmph and below 35 kmph occurred for 9.46 % of the study

duration and of the time. The calm condition (below 1 kmph) observed is

26.18 % of the time. The wind data generated at site were also compared

with the climatological data obtained from the closest Indian

Meteorological Department (IMD) station at Ahmedabad. The local

prevailing wind pattern during the study period is in conformity with the



climatological normal of the region. The average wind speed recorded is

6.1 kmph during the study period.

Temperature

During the study period, the maximum and minimum temperatures

recorded at project site were recorded as 33.8OC and 12.7OC respectively.

Relative Humidity

During study period at project site during study period, the maximum

relative humidity was recorded as 73.1% and minimum as 15.3%.

Rainfall

No rainfall during the study period at project site.

3.2.4 Ambient Air Quality Survey

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at Six AAQM locations,

with a frequency of twice a week continuously for three months, to assess

the existing sub-regional air quality status in winter season. The

Respirable Dust Sampler and Fine particulate sampler along with the

analytical methods prescribed by CPCB were used for carrying out air

quality monitoring. At all these sampling locations; PM10, PM2.5, SO2 and

NOx were monitored on 24-hourly basis to enable the comparison with

ambient air quality standards prescribed by the Central Pollution Control

Board.

The data on concentrations of various pollutants were processed for

different statistical parameters like arithmetic mean, standard deviation,

minimum and maximum concentration and various percentile values.

3.2.5 Baseline Status

The existing baseline levels with respect to PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, HC and

VOCs are presented in Tables 3.2 to 3.7 along with statistical analysis;

represent the cross sectional distribution of baseline air quality status of

the study region.



Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (PM10)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly PM10 values at all the

locations ranged between 44-59 μg/m3 and 62-78 μg/m3 whereas the

stipulated standards of CPCB for industrial areas 100 μg/m3.

Particulate Matter (PM2.5)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly concentrations of SPM

value at all the locations ranged between 25-34 μg/m3 and 36-47 μg/m3

respectively. The stipulated standard of PM2.5 for industrial area is 60

μg/m3 for residential area.


An average and 98th percentile value of 24-hourly SO2 value of arithmetic

mean at all the locations ranged between 10-15 μg/m3 and 14-22 μg/m3

respectively, which are well within the stipulated standards 80 μg/m3 for

industrial areas.

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

An average and 98th percentile value of 24 hourly NOx value of arithmetic

mean at all the locations ranged between 09-17 μg/m3 and 14-23 μg/m3

respectively, which are much lower than the standards stipulated by CPCB

for industrial areas 80 μg/m3.

3.2.6 Identification of Impacts

The identification of impacts with regard to air environment involves a

careful consideration of all the major process operations, burning of fuel

required for generating the energy in terms of steam, hot air generator

and other activities that may lead to generation and discharge of air

pollutants to the atmosphere. The main source of air pollution will be flue

gas emission and process gas emission. The flue gas emission will from

the boilers, Thermic fluid heaters and hot air generators where biofuel

(Briquettes) will be used. Ammonia will be liberated as process gas.

However, adequate air pollution control measures will be provided to meet

gaseous emission norms recognized by GPCB.



3.3 Water Environment

Water Environment of an area is broadly classified into following

categories

1. Surface Water: Rivers, Drains, Canals, Ponds etc.

2. Ground water: Accumulation of water in deeper strata of ground.

The only source of recharging for both surface and groundwater source is

from precipitation (rainfall).

3.3.1 Water Quality

Collected water samples were analyzed for various desirable

characteristics of ground water. Sampling location is shown in Figure 3.7.

The results are shown in Table 3.9.

Color: All the samples were color less meeting desirable norms.

pH: All the samples meet the desirable standards (pH ranges from 6.9 to

7.3).

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS): TDS in samples ranges from 996 mg/l

(Gajera) to 1196 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples meet the

permissible limit of 2000 mg/l.

Calcium: Calcium contents in the water ranges from 43 mg/l (Vedach) to

65 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples meet the permissible limit of 200

mg/l.

Magnesium: Magnesium content in the water ranges from 36 mg/l

(Piludara) to 55 mg/l (Dabha). All the samples meet even the permissible

limit of 100 mg/l.

Sulphate: Sulfate content in the water ranges from 39 mg/l (Gajera) to

80 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples meet the permissible limit of 400

mg/l for drinking water.



Total Alkalinity: Total alkalinity in the water samples ranges from 208

mg/l (Vedach) to 333 mg/l (Nr. Industry). All the samples are within the

permissible limit of drinking water (600 mg/l).

Other Parameters: Potassium (ranges from 39 mg/l to 75 mg/l), Sodium

(ranges from 202 mg/l to 292 mg/l) and Chloride (ranges from 320 mg/l

to 474 mg/l).

Conclusions: Ground water samples from villages meet the permissible

limit.

3.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

3.4.1 Introduction

Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and

hearing and is intense enough to damage hearing or is otherwise

annoying. The definition of noise as unwanted sound implies that it has an

adverse effect on human beings and their environment. Noise can also

disturb natural wildlife and ecological system.

Sound is mechanical energy from a vibrating surface, transmitted by cyclic

series of compression and rarefaction of molecules of the materials

through which it passes. Sound can be transmitted through gases, liquids

and solids. The number of compressions and rarefaction’s of the air

molecules in the unit of time is described as its frequency. Frequency is

expressed in hertz (Hz), which is the same as the number of cycles per

second.

3.4.2 Methodology

To understand the noise environment in the study area, a survey was

conducted using Sound Level Meter at each of the Eight locations including

the plant site is shown in Figure 3.8.

3.4.3 Ambient Air Quality Standards in Respect of Noise

Ministry of Environment and Forest has notified the ambient standards in

respect of noise in Gazette of India on February 14, 2000. Table 3.12

depicts these standards in respect of noise.



3.4.4 Day-Time and Night-Time Noise Levels

The Leq values of noise levels during daytime (Ld) varied between 53.1 to

61.9 dB (A). Highest Ld value was recorded near Bus stop Vavadi (61.9 dB

(A)) while the Leq values of noise levels during night time (Ln) varied

between40.0 to 53.2 dB (A). Highest Ln value was recorded at Bus stop

Vavadi (53.2 dB (A)).

3.4.5 Conclusions

The hourly Leq noise levels recorded at various locations in the study area

show considerable fluctuations because of changes in traffic movement,

commercial and domestic activities in the study area. Generally noise

levels in public places like hospital, temples and community hall have

higher values in day time as per Residential area limit of 55 dB (A) but it

is less than Commercial area limit of 65 dB (A).

Ambient standards both for Ld and Ln with respect to noise applicable for

residential area during day - time {55 dB (A)} and night-time {45 dB (A)}

are not always met at all locations.

3.5 SOIL ENVIRONMENT

3.5.1 Introduction

Soils may be defined as a thin layer of earth’s crust that serves as a

natural medium for the growth of plants. It is the unconsolidated mineral

matter that has been subjected to and influenced by genetic and

environmental factors. Soils serve as a reservoir of nutrients for plants

and crops and also provide mechanical anchorage and favorable tilth.

The study area has primarily Grey Brown Aridisols type of soil. The soils of

this type basically originate from alluvium rocks. According to texture

classification, this belongs to Clay Loam category. This type of soil has

moderate permeability and water retention capacity. This soil has

moderate erosion potential.

The study area has following physical and chemical characteristics.



3.5.2 Soil Characteristics

Samples of soils were done at 6 locations (Nr. Industry, Piludrara, Vedach,

Gajera, Dabha, Abhol). During the study period and these locations are

shown in Figure 3.9.

The values of important physical and chemical parameters of these soil

samples are depicted in Table 3.13. From the tabulated values, the

following conclusions can be made about the physical and chemical

characteristics of these soil samples.

3.5.3 Corollaries

Physical Parameters

Particle Size: A Particle size of the different constituents (clay, silt, sand

and gravel) controls the porosity and water holding characteristic of the

soil. Clay (size < 0.002 mm) amount in the soil samples ranges from 19%

to 25%; Silt (size 0.002 to 0.075 mm) in the soil samples is 25% to 37%

and Sand (size 0.075 to 0.475 mm) in the soil samples is 23% to 31%.

While Gravel (size > 4.75 mm) in the soil samples is 19% to 31%.

Analysis shows that the soil is sandy soil with less water holding capacity.

Porosity: Porosity is a measure of space in between soil particles caused

by structural conditions and determined under identical conditions.

Porosity of soil samples of the study area ranges from 40.3 to 42.1%.

Water Holding Capacity (WHC): Water holding capacity (WHC) of soil

samples of the study area ranges between 49.3 to 56.1 % and these being

sandy soils are not capable of retaining sufficient water during irrigation

for facilitating the plant growth.

Bulk Density: Bulk Density of soils in the study area is found to be in the

range from 1.43 to 1.49 g/cm3. Bulk density is of greater importance for

characterizing the physical behavior of soils. Generally, soils with low bulk

density have favorable physical conditions (porosity and permeability)

whereas those with high bulk density exhibit poor physical conditions.



Chemical Parameters

pH: pH was determined by taking 1:5 ratio of soil and distilled water. pH

of soils in the study area is found to be in the range of 7.2 to 7.6 The soils

of the study area are neutral in nature.

Chloride: Chloride content in soils of the study area is found to be in the

range of 95 to137 mg/kg.

Calcium: The calcium as CaCO3 in soil samples is found to be in the range

of 41 to 119 mg/kg

Magnesium: Magnesium content in soil samples of the study area ranges

from46 to 55 mg/kg.

Available Phosphorus: Available Phosphorus content in soil samples of

the study area ranges from 139 to 161 mg/kg.

Available Nitrogen: Available nitrogen content in soil samples of the

study area is found to be in the range from 182 to 196mg/kg.

Potassium: Potassium content in soil samples of the study area is found

to be in the range from 52 to 95 mg/kg.

Sodium: Sodium content in soil samples of the study area is found to be

in the range from 98 to 105 mg/kg.

Total Organic Matter (TOM): Total organic matter content in soil

samples of the study area is found to be in the range of 1.31 to1.47

mg/kg.

Boron: Boron is found absent in the soil samples of the study area.

3.6 Terrestrial Ecology (Flora)

The structure and type of vegetation depends on climatic conditions and

physiography of an area. Climate of the study area is arid to semi arid and

suited for the growth of selected variety of vegetation.

The contents of this subsection are based secondary data obtain from local

forest department. List of floral diversity is presented in Table 3.14.

3.6.1 Common Crop Plants

Common cultivated crop plants in the study area include: Rabi season

(January to March) - wheat, mustard, jeera; April to June -juvar, bajra,



gram and Kharif (July to October) - paddy; Sugar cane and vegetables are

also grown at some places.

3.6.2 Ecological Stresses

Human needs for settlement and commercial activities like farming,

industries, infrastructure (roads, canals, power lines, railways etc.) have

forced him to encroach on natural vegetation i.e. forests. Even the open

areas left for plantation/green cover at times have been occupied by

encroachers/slums resulting in stress on environment.

3.6.3 Terrestrial Wild Life

Because of being in arid / semi arid zone and lack of well developed forest

cover, the study area lacks in mammalian life and is the home of dry,

scrub jungle loving animals, best suited to the climate of arid and open

land. Avifauna and reptiles found in the study area and area around it.

This is compiled on the basis of sighting during field survey in the area

and also from the information collected from villagers and forest personnel

working in the area.

3.6.4 Fauna

Table 3.15 depicts the zoological name and abundance rating of wild

animals found in the study area and its adjoining area.

3.7 SOCIO ECONOMIC AND LAND USE

3.7.1 Land use pattern and infrastructure

The land use pattern indicates the manner in which different parts of land

in an area is being utilized or non-utilized. It is an important indicator of

environmental health human activity and a degree of inter play between

these two. Even though the soil quality, water availability and climate

have strong influence on agriculture and vegetation, the human activity

may alter the natural environment to a large extent to suit human needs.

Unnatural land use often triggers rapid environmental deterioration and

disturbs ecological balance.

In census records major land use classifications are; Forests, Culturable

land, Culturable waste land and area not available for cultivation.

Culturable land is further classified as: irrigated and unirrigated. Area not



available for cultivation includes lands put to non-agriculture uses as well

as barren and uncultivable lands.

The main land use in area is for dwellings, infrastructure and related

activities. However the land use pattern for rural areas is discussed below.

The information is preliminary based on 2001 Census as depicting in Table

3.17.

3.7.2 Demographic and Socio-Economic Environment

The demographic and Socio-economic details of the study area are

discussed below. These are primarily based on census data of 2001. Data

on number of households, population as well as literacy and employment

pattern in the study area have been presented in Table-3.18. The

employment pattern in the area is indicator of number of persons

employed in various sectors. It also indicates the various categories of

employment flourishing in the area.

3.7.3 Living Standard and Infrastructure

In India it is not possible to setup a primary standard of living because of

wide variations in terms of income, economic conditions, social custom,

employment opportunity, pattern of spending etc. However, availability of

amenities like education, medical, water supply, communication, road

network, electricity etc. significantly reflects the level of development of

the area. Information on available amenities in the study area has been

extracted from census record of 2001. Total numbers of village in study

area are 32. On the basis of data presented in the Table-3.19, the status

of available amenities is discussed in following sub-sections:

Drinking Water Supply

All the villages in the study area have two or more sources of drinking

water. 30 villages in study area have tap water supply in addition to well

(almost all), tanks (almost all).

Communication and Transport

The main mode of public transport available in the study area is by bus

service. 5 villages have approach to railway station as western railway



meter gauge line is passing nearby and also has stations. Majority of

villages in the study area is connected with pucca road.

Post and Telegraph

As per 2001 census record in study area 29 have post office facility at

doorstep. Most of villages have telephone facility in the village.

Power Supply

As per 2001 census record out all the villages are getting power supply for

all purposes.

Anticipated Environmental Impacts & Mitigation Measures

4.1 GENERAL

Predicting the net contribution on overall qualitative environmental

indicators require environmental impact assessment study for the proposed

units. Prediction of impacts is an important component in environmental

impact assessment process. Several techniques and methodologies are in

vogue for predicting the impacts due to existing and proposed industrial

development on physical, chemical, biological and socio-economic

components of environment. Such predictions delineate contribution in

existing baseline condition for the proposed project. The additional impacts

due to proposed activities are analyzed keeping in mind the baseline

status. This helps assess the assimilative capacity of the environment and

in turn the gravity of the impacts. Depending on the nature of the impact,

suitable management plans are devised.

Proposed unit is for dyes and dyes intermediate manufacturing. As such it

becomes important to estimate the peak incremental concentrations of

pollutants caused due to the emissions from the proposed Narayan

Organics plant. Section 2.9 in Chapter 2 of this report discusses the

pollution sources from the proposed plant.

Mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe the

cause- effect relationship between source of pollution and different

components of environment.



4.2 IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION AND OPERATION PHASE

The impact assessment has been addressed for the following attributes,

which may get affected due to the proposed activities of the project.

Impact on topography;

Impact on Air Environment;

Impact on Water Environment;

Impact on Noise;

Impact due to solid waste generation;

Impact on terrestrial ecology;

Impact on aquatic ecology

4.3 IMPACT ON TOPOGRAPHY

The project activities include excavation of soil in the plant area and

construction of the plant and storage facilities. The area of the proposed

plant is flat. Very minor or no Leveling would be required for the

construction of the proposed plant. No tree plantation affected since plant

will be come in industrial area. During the construction, excavated soil will

be restored to its original shape. Thus the impact during the construction is

reversible, for short terms and insignificant.

During the operation phase of the project, no impact is envisaged on the

topography.

4.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT

4.4.1 Construction Phase

The source of air emission during the construction will include dust from

site cleaning and construction activity and dust from excavation of the

plant area. These emissions are expected to result in change in baseline air



quality, primarily in the working area only. Dust and other emissions are

not likely to spread in wider area, which would affect homes and other

properties. Dust will generate within working areas and measures will need

to protect workers. To mitigate the impact due to Suspended Particulate

Matter (SPM), regular sprinkling of the water will be done along with the

construction activities.

4.4.2 Operational phase

In the present study, the mathematical model that has been used for

predictions on air quality includes steady state Gaussian Plume Dispersion

model designed for multiple point sources.

The impacts on air quality from any project depend on various factors like

design capacity, configuration, process technology, raw material, fuel to be

used, air pollution control measures, operation and maintenance. Apart

from the above, other activities associated with any project, viz.,

transportation of raw materials and finished products, storage facilities and

material handling within the plant premises may also contribute to air

pollution.

4.4.3 Sources of air pollution

In the proposed project of pigment manufacturing, point sources emitting

gaseous pollutants include three nos. of flue gas stacks and two nos. of

process gas stacks. The major air pollutants, identified from this industry,

are SPM, SO2 and NOx from flue gas stacks and ammonia (NH3) from

process gas stacks.

4.4.4 Emissions

In the operational unit Bio Fuel (Briquettes) will be used for Boiler, Thermic

fluid heater and Hot air generator. The rate of fuel consumption and other

details are shown in Table 4.1.



Since the bio fuel will be used, the gaseous emission will be well within

GPCB norms and simultaneously, there will be less impact on the air

Environment due to fuel combustion. The unit also proposes to provide

adequate scrubbing system to the reactors so that ammonia emission will

also be well within the GPCB norms. However, similar types of stacks were

monitored to get the information about emission characteristics including

the emission rates of SPM, SO2 and NOx. The emission rates of SPM, SO2

and NOx and effluent gas characteristics as well as stack details for the

proposed units are presented in Table 4.1. A built-in scrubber will be

installed with spray dryer system. Fugitive emissions of organic gases may

occur through the leaks from pumps, valves etc. However, the industry

being of small scale the fugitive emissions and their impacts would be

negligible.

4.4.5 Micrometeorology

The hourly wind speed, solar insolation and total cloudiness during day

time and wind speed and total cloudiness during night time were used to

determine the hourly atmospheric stability classes (defined by Pasquill and

Gifford as A to F, A being most unstable and F being most stable). The

hourly stability classes were determined based on the technique suggested

by Turner.

Turner’s system used for determining the stability classes is as follows:

- For day or night: If total cloud cover (TC) = 10/10 and ceiling <7000 ft (2134 m), NR=0

- For night-time (defined as period from one hour before sunset to one hour after sunrise):

a) If TC<4/10, use NR = -2

b) If TC>4/10, use NR = -1



- For daytime: determine isolation class number (IN)

a) If TC<5/10, use NR=IN

b) If TC>5/10, modify IN by the sum of the following applicable criteria If ceiling<7000 ft (2134m), modification = -2

If ceiling>7000 ft but <16000 ft (4877 m), modification = -1

If TC=10/10 and ceiling>7000 ft, modification = -1, and let modified value

of IN=NR, except for day-time NR cannot be <+1

During the study period stability calculated based on above-mentioned

Turner method gives average stability as B class during Day time and D

class during Night time. The mean mixing height considered for prediction

is 180 m as mean minimum and 1500 m as mean maximum. Average

micro meteorological data of December-2010 to February-2011 is

presented in Table 4.2.

4.4.6 Air Quality Modeling and Predictions using the Gaussian Model

The impact on air quality due to emissions from single source or group of

sources is evaluated by use of mathematical models. When air pollutants

are emitted into the atmosphere, they are immediately diffused into

surrounding atmosphere, transported and diluted due to winds. The air

quality models are designed to simulate these processes mathematically

and to relate emissions of primary pollutants to the resulting downwind air

quality. The inputs include emissions, meteorology and surrounding

topographic details to predict the impacts of conservative pollutants.

The impacts of air pollutants were predicted using Gaussian air dispersion

model, which is selected on the basis of existence of multiple point sources

within the industrial complex and the plain terrain at the project site.



The Gaussian air dispersion model has been developed to simulate the

effect of emissions from point sources on air quality. Gaussian model

extensively used for predicting the Ground Level Concentrations (GLCs) of

conservative pollutants from point, area and volume sources. The impacts

of primary air pollutants are predicted using this air quality model keeping

in view the plain terrain at the project site. The micrometeorological data

monitored at project site during study period have been used in this model.

The Gaussian model provides estimates of pollutant concentrations at

various receptor locations. It is, an hour-by-hour steady state Gaussian

model which takes into account the following:

- Terrain adjustments

- Stack-tip downwash

- Gradual plume rise

- Buoyancy-induced dispersion, and

- Complex terrain treatment and consideration of partial reflection

- Plume reflection off elevated terrain

- Building down wash

- Partial penetration of elevated inversions is accounted for Hourly source emission rates, exit velocity, and stack gas temperature

In the present case, prediction of impacts has been carried out December-

2010 to February-2011 on 24-hourly basis in the entire study area of 10

km radius using the Gaussian model.

Gaussian air dispersion models were used to estimate the ambient air

quality levels at different monitoring stations due to stack emissions. Only

two stability conditions based on the meteorology aspects were used to

calculate the theoretical maximum ground level concentration. Comparing

the actual data and data generated from mathematical modeling, it



highlights that the stability condition E & A-B were predominant in the

region. The maximum ground level concentration of SPM, SO2, NOX & NH3

were away from the source. Using the estimated stack emission data and

wind speed directions, a mathematical model was prepared to establish the

ground level concentration in the region.

4.4.7 Predicted GLCs of proposed dyes plant

It is predicted that the maximum contribution in GLCs, with units operating

at full capacity, is 3.469 μg/m3, 0.817 μg/m3 and 0.661 μg/m3 for SPM, SO2

and NOx respectively and for NH3 maximum GLC will be 1.351 μg/m3. The

point of maximum concentration by unit would be 2.0 km from centre of

industry in E direction for SPM, SO2 and NOx and 1.0 km from centre of

industry in E direction for NH3.

4.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Impact on water environment due to the proposed dyes project will be

1. Due to demand for raw water and

2. Due to disposal of treated effluent from the plant.

These are discussed below:

4.5.1 Water Demand

Construction phase

During the construction activities there will be no adverse impact on the

quality of water. No disposal of construction waste outside the plant and no

leaching are anticipated.

Operational Phase

The main source of the water will be ground water. The unit will install its

own bore wells within premises to satisfy its fresh water demand.

Necessary permission will be obtained from CGWA.



The fresh water demand will be for domestic, gardening and industrial

purpose. Industrial purpose includes water demand for boiler, cooling,

process, washing and RO reject, etc.

The estimated total quantity of the fresh water requirement will be 683.0

KLD. Figure-2.1 in Chapter 2 provides water balance of the proposed

project. However, efforts have to be made to conserve water as much as

possible. Also Chapter 5 proposes some additional mitigation measures to

minimise the raw water consumption. In view of these factors the impact

on water environment due to water use is assessed to be insignificant.

4.5.2 Wastewater Generation – Operational Phase

The industrial wastewater generation from the proposed project will be

about 448.0 KLD. The unit proposes to install its own Effluent Treatment

Plant comprising of primary and secondary treatment units followed by

tertiary treatment facilities. After meeting GPCB norms, the treated effluent

will be disposed to ECP channel to Mahi River.

4.5.3 Effluent Treatment within Unit

Narayan Organics proposes a well-designed Effluent Treatment Plant

providing three stages Physico-Chemical followed by aeration and pressure

sand filter and activated carbon filter treatment.

Wastewater stream is divided into two parts (i) concentrated stream and

(ii) General stream.

Concentrated stream will be neutralized and then treated at Effluent

Treatment Plant along with general stream. After meeting effluent

discharge norms, entire quantity of treated effluent will be discharge to

ECP channel to Mahi River. Whereas the utility stream will not contain any

kind of pollutant load and directly use for plantation and gardening or

mixed with treated effluent.



The COD/BOD concentration in the influent of the plant ETP will be about

2000-2500 mg/L and 800-1000 mg/L respectively. After treatment COD/

BOD concentration in the effluent becomes COD: 150-250 mg/L and BOD:

40-50 mg/L whereas the TDS in the influent is reduced by approximately

10% in the effluent. Details of effluent quality are given in Table 2.6. The

ETP flow diagram is given in Fig. 2.2 of chapter-2.

Impact on Water Environment

The unit will make all efforts to minimize the quantity of wastewater

generation by adopting proper segregation, collection and treatment

philosophy to ensure that the effluent disposal shall have minimal impacts

on the receiving environment. Thus, considering the treatment facilities

proposes by the unit, it can be said that there would be chances of minor

impact on the water environment.

4.6 NOISE LEVEL IMPACT

4.6.1 Construction Phase

The noise produced during construction may have significant impact on the

existing ambient noise levels. The major work will be carried out during the

daytime. The construction equipment may generate high noise, which can

affect the personnel operating the machines. Use of proper personal

protective equipments will mitigate any adverse impact of noise generated

by such equipment.

The noise level in the working environment is compared with standards

prescribed by ISO 3746. The acceptable limit for each shift being of 8-hour

duration, the equivalent noise level exposure during the shift is 90 dB(A).

Hence noise generation due to excavation may affect workers, if equivalent

8 hours exposure is more then the safety limit. The noise level likely to be

generated during excavation, loading, transportation of construction



materials will be in the range of 90-100 dB(A) and this will occur only when

all the equipment operate together and simultaneously. This will be a

remote possibility. The worker in general are likely to be exposed to an

equipment noise level of 80-90 dB(A) in an 8 hour shift for which all

statutory precautions as per laws will be taken into consideration.

4.6.2 Operational Phase

The main sources of noise within the plants are: boiler and spray dryer

blower. Suitable noise control system will be provided to ensure that noise

at the ventilation openings does not exceed 90 dB(A) at 1 m distance in

conformity with ISO 3746. The other sources of noise are the movement of

vehicles along the road. The typical industrial noise sources are given in

Table 4.4.

The results of monitoring carried out in the region have been presented in

Chapter-3. The permissible levels in the ambient environment as well as

industrial environment are also presented in Chapter 3. The results are

below the standards prescribed for Industrial environment. It can be

concluded that the impact on noise environment will be long term but

insignificant. The noise standards specified by regulations shall be met. The

mitigation measures being followed / proposed for minimising impacts on

noise quality are provided in chapter 5.

4.7 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

The main source of hazardous waste generation will be ETP sludge. Other

sources will be discarded barrels/bags and spent/waste oil. As discussed in

Chapter-2, the unit proposes to provide adequate area i.e. 800 sqm. for

the storage of hazardous waste having roof cover, impervious floor and

leachate collection system. ETP sludge will be sold to cement

manufacturers or sent to approved TSDF site whereas discarded

barrels/bags will be properly cleaned and sold to approved end users and if



excess then reuse within premises. Spent/waste oil will also be sold to

CPCB approved recyclers.

Thus, after taking adequate steps for the hazardous waste storage, there

will be minor impact on the environment due to proposed project activities.

4.8 SOCIO-ECONOMIC IMPACTS: CONSTRUCTION & OPERATIONAL PHASE

Operational phase of the units covers the entire life span of the plant.

Hence the impacts of the operational phase extend over a long period of

time. These impacts include employment generation, effects on basic

infrastructure etc.

The development of industrial area will result in overall prosperity in the

area in terms of infrastructure development, employment generation,

indirect employment communications, medical facilities etc.

The unit will have direct employment of about 90 persons, which will

increase further. It will provide indirect employment as well as

development of well developed road network connecting nearby villages,

faster development of communication facilities and medical facilities.

Pigment manufacturing industry may impose some occupational health

effect on the workers. However, adequate preventive and protective

measures will be assured by the management to avoid the same.

In view of the above the overall impacts on socio-economic environment

due to the pigment manufacturing unit is long term and positive in nature.

Chapter - 5 Environment Management Plan

5.1 INTRODUCTION

Assessment of environmental and social impacts arising due to

implementation of the proposed project activities is at the technical heart

of EIA process. An equally essential element of this process is to develop

measures to eliminate, off set or reduce impacts to acceptable levels

during implementation and operation of projects. The integration of such

measures in to project implementation and operation is supported by

clearly defining the environmental requirements within an Environmental

Management Plan (EMP).

From the previous chapter it can be said that there will be almost minor

impact on the surrounding environment due to proposed project.

However, for the abatement of environmental pollution, M/s. Narayan

Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II would adopt several measures, which are

summarized in this chapter.

M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II is equally concern for production

as well as pollution control. The unit has already done the homework to

develop the efficient Environmental Management Plan for its proposed

project. This will be put in to existence as per the requirement after the

execution of the proposal.



5.2 OBJECTIVES OF EMP

The objectives of the Environmental Management Plan are summarized

here under,

• To limit/reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of adverse

impacts

• To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and

hazardous waste with adoption of adequate and efficient technology

• To comply with all the norms and standards stipulated by Gujarat

Pollution Control Board / Central Pollution Control Board

• To create good working conditions

• To reduce any risk hazards and design the disaster management plan

• Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a

cleaner and better environment

5.3 COMPONENTS OF EMP

EMP for the proposed project of M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. covers

following aspects:

• Description of proposed mitigation measures for proposed operation

phase only

• Description of monitoring program

• Institutional arrangements

• Implementation schedule and reporting procedures

All above aspects and objectives are kept in the view and considering the

same EMP is prepared for two major fields.

5.4 ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

Chemical Industries prefer an integrated approach and make

environmental management a part of overall Environment, Health and

Safety (EHS) Management system.



This model EHS system as suggested addresses EMS issues such as:

- Management system expectation

- Management leadership, responsibilities and accountability

- Risk assessment and management

- Compliance and other requirements

- Personnel, training and contractor services

- Documentation and communications

- Facilities design and construction

- Operation, maintenance and management of change

- Community awareness and emergency response

- EHS performance monitoring and measurement

- Incident investigation reporting and analysis

- EHS management system audit

- Management review and audit

With this type of EHS management approach, proposed Narayan Organics

would be able to integrate the requirements of ISO-14001 into the overall

management system.

5.5 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Environmental management plan for an industrial activity is an integral

part of EIA and has been proved to be an effective tool to mitigate the

adverse environmental impacts arising due to the establishment and

operational phase of the industry. This gives a sequential approach with

feasible options to ensure that the mitigation/control measures overcome

the adverse impacts of the industrial activity and thus achieve the

sustainable operation.

In order to mitigate the adverse environmental impact due to the

operation of the proposed unit following measures are recommended.



5.5.1Measures for reducing stack emissions

Narayan Organics proposes to establish five stacks to meet the emission

requirement due to various operations. Out of the same three will be flue

gas stacks attached individually to boilers, thermic fluid heaters and hot

air generators. Whereas process gas stacks are attached to process

reactors from where ammonia gas will be liberated. Adequate stack height

of 30.0 m and 15.0 m will be provided to flue gas stacks and process

stacks respectively.

Since biofuel/Coal proposed to be used, less pollution will be generated.

However, on the precautionary bases the unit proposes to install dust

collector as air pollution control measures.

The unit also proposes to install two stage water scrubber followed by acid

scrubber as air pollution control measures to absorb ammonia gas likely to

be generated as process gas.

Thus, air pollution control measures proposed by the unit will be adequate

to obtain gaseous emission norms recognized by GPCB.

Moreover, Narayan Organic’s maximum contribution in ambient air quality

will be 3.469 μg/m3, 0.817 μg/m3 and 0.661 μg/m3 for SPM, SO2 and NOx

respectively and for NH3 maximum GLC will be 1.351 μg/m3. The point of

maximum concentration by unit would be 2.0 km from centre of industry

in E direction for SPM, SO2 and NOx and 1.0 km from centre of industry in

E direction for NH3. As per the analysis of similar type facilities, emissions

coming out from the stack of boilers, heaters and also on the basis of

characteristics of the fuel, it is observed that SO2, NOx and PM emissions

are well within the permissible limits (as prescribed by CPCB). However, in

order to achieve further reduction, it is suggested that regular

maintenance and periodic tuning of the burner system should be done to



ensure proper atomization and subsequent minimization of any unburned

combustibles. Besides reduction in particulate emissions, it would also

result in better operating efficiency. For this, combustion process may be

further improved by adopting following measures:

Optimization of combustion aerodynamics should be done using a flame

retention device.

Primary flame zone O2 level should be decreased by decreasing overall O2

level, controlling (delaying) mixing of fuel and air, and use of fuel-rich

primary flame zone.

Flue gas volume should be checked for amount of air needed for the

complete combustion of the fuel.

The unit may also implement energy conservation measures through

installation of heat recovery systems. This would reduce the fuel

consumption and in turn the emissions.

Injury Symptoms and Pollutant Dose Thresholds of Tolerance by

Sensitive Species of Plants

Pollutant Threshold Dose Plant Injury Symptoms


0.70 ppm (1820 μg/m3) for 1 hr.; 0.18 ppm (468 μg/m3) for 8 hr.; 0.008 – 0.017 ppm (21/44 μg/m3) for growing season

Interveinal necrotic blotches Red brown dieback or banding in pines

Nitrogen Oxides (NOX)

20 ppm (38 x 103 μg/m3) for 1 hr.; 1.6 – 2.6 ppm (3000-5000 μg/m3) for 48 hr.; 1 ppm (1900 μg/m3) for 100 hr.

Interveinal necrotic blotches similar to those by SO2



What type of plants should be planted?

There are certain plants that are sensitive to certain air pollutants, e.g.

gladiolus is sensitive to HF. However, it is difficult to identify species that

are selectively tolerant to certain air pollutants. Moreover, an industrial

area invariably emits several pollutants rather than a single one. Green

belts as a pollution sink hence, should aim at cultivating plants that are

tolerant to air pollutants in general, rather than tolerant to SO2, to HF or

to O3, etc. Scattering of a few known sensitive plants (including selectively

sensitive species for SPM, SO2, and NOX) within a green belt however, do

carry out an important function of indicating the presence of pollutants,

which the tolerant would not indicate.

Characters of plant including shapes of crowns considered necessary for

effective absorption of pollutant gases and removal of dust particles are as

follows:

For absorption of gases

1. Tolerance towards pollutants in question, at concentrations, that are

not too high to be instantaneously lethal;

2. Longer duration of foliage;

3. Freely exposed foliage, through

a. adequate height of crown,

b. openness of foliage in canopy,

c. big leaves (long and broad laminar surfaces, with larger leaf area

index),

d. large number of stomatal apertures,

e. Stomata well exposed (in level with the general epidermal surface).

For removal of suspended particulate matter

1. Height and spread of crown;



2. Leaves supported on firm petioles;

3. Abundance of surfaces on bark and foliage, through

a. roughness of bark,

b. epidermal outgrowths on petioles,

c. abundance of auxiliary hairs,

d. hairs or scales on laminar surfaces,

e. Stomata protected (by wax, arches / rings, hairs, etc.).

Note: All tolerant plants are not necessarily good for green belts, e.g.

Xerophytes with sunken stomata can withstand pollution by avoidance but

are poor absorbers of pollutants due to low gaseous exchange capacity.

While making choice of plant species for cultivation in green belts,

weightage has to be given to the natural factor of bio-climate. Moreover,

the species should be indigenous to that area and most of them should be

quick growing. Attention should also be focused to their economic or

aesthetic value. A good green belt should have a well-proportioned mix of

trees and shrubs of different heights, and evergreen and deciduous.

Hence, considering the bio-climatic characteristics of the project region,

the following plants might be used for green belt development:

How and Where to be planted: The standard practice for green belt

development involves planting of saplings in pits of substantial dimensions

i.e. 1m x 1m x 1m for big trees and almost half of these dimensions for

smaller trees and shrubs. The pits should then be filled with earth, sand,

silt and manure in the pre-determined proportions. Saplings planted in

such pits are to be watered liberally. The growing plants should be

nurtured for three years and should be cared and protected against any

damage caused by domestic elements.

For effective removal of pollutants, it is necessary that

1. Plants grow under conditions of adequate nutritional supply (for

health and vigour of growth);

2. Absence of water stress (to maintain openness of stomatal apertures

and form of epidermal structures); and

3. Plants are well-exposed to atmospheric conditions of light and

breeze (i.e. away from engineering structures hindering free flow of

air) to maintain free interaction with gases.

Industry has sufficient space to systemically develop green belt, the above

mentioned plant species should be planted wherever the space and

conditions permit. In order to increase efficiency of the green belt, shrubs

should be inserted between big trees. If space permits for more than one

row, smaller trees should be planted inside while taller trees on the

outside with respect to emission sources.

5.5.2 Measures for fugitive emissions

The fugitive emissions of organic chemicals and VOCs come from leakage

through valves, fittings, pumps, etc. Though this is not expected to be

significant, adopting the following measures may reduce it further:



Regular maintenance of valves, pumps and other equipment should be

undertaken to prevent leakage and thus minimize the fugitive emissions of

VOCs.

In case the units undertake modernization, design features as suggested

in Table 5.1 for new equipment may be considered.

5.6 WATER ENVIRONMENT

The mitigative measures for minimizing the impacts on water environment

in general includes following:

- Minimization of water use

- Segregation and collection philosophy for effluent to minimize waste

generation and facilitate treatment as well as recycle

- Treatment philosophy to achieve mandated standards

- Reuse/recycle and disposal

Some of the measures, which are to be implemented, include:

- Use equipment wash down waters as makeup solutions for subsequent

batches.

- Use high-pressure air-water jet for equipment cleaning to reduce the

amount of wastewater generated.

- Reducing the actual process water consumption by way of improvement

in operation of processing units

- Ensuring proper operation and maintenance schedule for the ETP.

- Artificial recharge of water.

5.6.1 Segregation and Collection Philosophy

A segregated drainage system is suggested wherever feasible to achieve

following objectives:

- Optimise the treatment process



- Minimise generation of secondary wastes such as sludge

- Facilitate reuse/ recycle of process effluents and consequently minimise

impacts associated with disposal

The segregation of effluents in small units is not always practical and

feasible. It has to be implemented after careful study of effluents at each

unit. The emphasis has to be on resource recovery potential. The units

shall utilize the concept of waste minimization circles. The suggestions

provided in Comprehensive Industry Document by CPCB should also be

applied depending on technical feasibility.

5.6.2 Wastewater Treatment

Entire effluent will be divided into three streams (i) Concentrated stream

and (ii) General stream. The unit proposes to provide its own Effluent

Treatment Plant comprising of primary and secondary treatment units

followed by tertiary treatment units.

Concentrated stream will be separated and then neutralized. After

neutralization, it will be mixed with general stream and treated at Effluent

Treatment Plant. Whereas third stream i.e. utility stream which will not

contain any kind of pollution load, will be used for gardening or plantation

within premises and/or stored in treated effluent collection sump. Entire

effluent after confirming effluent discharge norms will be discharged to

ECP channel to Mahi River.

5.6.3 Artificial water recharge

The average long-term rainfall, out of which 20% of the rainfall is

considered to go to the ground as a natural recharge and remaining

rainfall runoff and this is available for the artificial recharge after

accounting for soil moisture storage and evaporation.



Thus approximately 100% of the water use for the factory is available for

artificial recharge from rainfall which can be put into the ground water

reservoir directly by construction of “Injection tube well”. The opener

must be fitted with filter pit.

The location of such injection bore well must be decided considering the

slope of the ground in the factory premises so that the accumulated

flowing rain water can be injected in to bore well.

Surface Geology and Geohydrolocal condition is prime importance in

successful implementation of artificial recharge scheme. The regional

hydro geological map provide details of ground water aquifer system,

ground water potential, ground water flow and chemical analysis of water

in different aquifers. It is suggested to do above survey before deciding

the location of such inject bore well. It will helpful for selection of location

and proper designing of artificial injection bore wells.

5.7 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Solid Waste management includes following:

- Measures to minimize waste generation

- Operation of waste handling, treatment and disposal facilities

As discussed in Chapter-2, adequate area for the storage of hazardous

waste will be provided having roof covered impervious floor and leachate

collection system. The ETP sludge will be sent to cement manufacturers or

sent to approved TSDF site for the disposal whereas discarded

bags/drums/liners will be sold to approved reusers or reused within

premises for the storage of sludge and spent/waste oil will be sold to CPCB

approved recyclers. Thus, hazardous waste management plan proposed by

the unit will be adequate.

However, the Waste Management plan should also include:



- Waste Inventory

- Classification of waste

- Packaging, Storing and Transporting Wastes to Disposal site

- Selecting a Hazardous Waste Management Facility – Final Disposal

- Data Management and Reporting

- Contingency Plan

- Personnel Training

- Waste Minimization

The condition specified in the Authorization from GPCB shall be followed.

The manifest system shall be implemented for control and record keeping.

5.8 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The main sources of noise within the plant are: boiler, manufacturing

activities, transferring pumps and material handling systems. Additional

noise will be generated due to installation of new machineries and

equipments however, these impacts will be very minor and temporary in

nature. The impact on the environment during the operational phase will

be long term but, of insignificant quantity.

To minimize the noise pollution, the unit proposes the following noise

control measures:

• Noise suppression measures such as enclosures, buffers and/or

protective measures should be provided (wherever noise level is more

than 90 dB (A)).

• Employees should be provided with ear protection measures like

earplugs or earmuffs. Earplug should be provided to all workers where

exposure is 85 dB (A) or more.

• The transportation contractor shall be informed to avoid unnecessary

speeding of the vehicles inside the premises.



• Extensive oiling, lubrication and preventive maintenance will be

carried out for the machineries and equipments to reduce noise

generation.

• The selection of any new plant equipment will be made with

specification of low noise levels.

• Areas with high noise levels will be identified and segregated where

possible and will include prominently displayed caution boards.

• The green belt area will be developed within industrial premises and

around the periphery to prevent the noise pollution in surrounding

area.

Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of

maintenance schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise

protection measures. A good quality digital sound pressure level meter is

essential for this purpose.

5.9 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

Tree plantation is one of the effective remedial measures to control the air

pollution and noise pollution. It also causes aesthetics improvement of the

area as well as sustains and supports the biosphere.

Plantation around the pollution sources control the air pollution by filtering

the air particulate and interacting with gaseous pollutant before it reaches

the ground.

Each plant shows different air pollution tolerance level depending upon

number of factors. In green belt area about 1000 trees per acre of land as

prescribed by Gujarat Pollution Control Board shall be planted. The

selection of tree species suitable for plantation at the industry shall be

governed by following factors,

• The trees should be tolerant to air pollutants present in the area

• The trees should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the area, be

evergreen, inhabitant and having minimum of leaf fall.



• The trees should be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large

and spreading canopy in primary and secondary attenuation zone

• It is also recommended to plant few trees, which are sensitive to air

pollution as air pollution indicator.

The unit have extensive greenbelt plantation in 11220 sqm, which is

around 33% of total land area. Local spices are planted and survival rate

is more than 65%.

5.10 RESOURCE CONSERVATION / WASTE MINIMIZATION

The units shall also implement the concept of waste minimization circle.

Good Housekeeping or proper housekeeping practice makes the system

easier and less costly. Some of these are as follows:

• Rain water harvesting system shall be adopted to reduce the fresh

water requirement.

• Cleaner production technology shall be adopted for the resource

conservation and pollution control.

The process emission containing Ammonia mainly. The Ammonia gas gets

absorbed in the water and results in Liq. Ammonia solution (12–15%) or

reaction with spent sulfuric acid and convent to Ammonium Sulphate as by

products. This Ammonia solution will be recovered as By- Product and sold

to actual end users. Thus, this is the step towards waste minimization and

resource conservation.

5.11 HEALTH & SAFETY

M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II will follow occupational health

program right from the start of production. Health hazards associated with

occupation are called occupational hazards. The following check-ups shall

be carried out regularly to avoid occupational hazards:

• Pre-employment medical check-up at the time of employment

• Provision of periodic medical check up for all the employees



• To provide necessary first aid facilities, the first aid training shall also

be given to the employees

• Monitoring of occupational hazards like noise, ventilation, chemical

exposure shall be carried out at frequent intervals.

• The unit will appoint the medical officer for the regular medical

examination and treatment of the employee.

The following precautions shall be taken to avoid foreseeable accident like

spillage, fire and explosion hazards and to minimize the effect of any such

accident and to combat the emergency at site level in case of emergency.

• Various emergency spots in plant area will be identified and kept in

sharp and alert watch

• Use of protective equipments will be regularly checked and will be kept

easily accessible and easily workable during emergency

• Safety installations like available quantity of running water will be

regularly watched

• Fire bucket and hose reels will be provided to withstand the fire or

explosion conditions

• Various types of fire extinguishers such as (Foam type, water type,

CO2 type) will be provide inside the factory premises

• Every pressure vessel will be provided with minimum one or more

pressure relief devices. The design of the valve is made in such a way

that the breakage of any part will not obstruct force discharge of the

liquid under pressure. Moreover, relief valves are tested and a periodic

schedule for their testing shall be maintained. The defective valves will

be removed if found unsafe for the operation.



5.11.1Possibility of occupational health hazard & its control

Following are major health hazards involve in our proposed activities

mainly

Chemical agents: There are possibility to generate gases, vapours,

liquids and aerosols (dusts, fumes, mists). We will take care to reduce it

at optimum minimum level and advice to workers to use PPE who work

in such identify area.

Noise & Heat: Noise is considered as any unwanted sound that may

adversely affect the health and well-being of individuals or populations.

Aspects of noise hazards include total energy of the sound, frequency

distribution, duration of exposure and impulsive noise. Hearing acuity is

generally affected first with a loss or dip at 4000 Hz followed by losses in

the frequency range from 2000 to 6000 Hz. Noise might result in acute

effects like communication problems, decreased concentration,

sleepiness and as a consequence interference with job performance.

Exposure to high levels of noise (usually above 85 dB(A)) over a

significant period of time may cause both temporary and chronic hearing

loss. Permanent hearing loss is the most common occupational disease in

compensation claims.

In our case there will be no high noise level issue or heat or radiation.

However we will identify such are like D.G. Sets, utilities area and advice

to workers to not enter without PPE.

Occupational surveillance involves active programmes to anticipate,

observe, measure, evaluate and control exposures to potential health

hazards in the workplace. Depending upon the occupational environment

and problem, two surveillance methods can be employed: medical and

environmental. Medical surveillance is used to detect the presence or



absence of adverse health effects for an individual from occupational

exposure to contaminants, by performing medical examinations and

appropriate tests. Environmental surveillance is used to document

potential exposure to contaminants for a group of employees, by

measuring the concentration of contaminants in the air, in bulk samples

of materials, and on surfaces.

Medical surveillance is performed because diseases can be caused or

exacerbated by exposure to hazardous substances. We will appoint part

time doctor who are knowledgeable about occupational diseases,

diagnoses and treatment.

5.11.2Preventive Measures

The methods of protecting the work force from exposure to toxic agents in

the workplace apply to the use of solvents:—

• Segregation of processes using solvents;

• Enclosures or special ventilator control of processes;

• Good general ventilation — particularly important if the solvent is

used in a confined space;

• Personal protection — Protective clothing should be worn, including

gloves, where there is a possibility of absorption through the skin.

Suitable respiratory protection is necessary like Panorama gas mask

with cartridge suitable for the chemicals we will be handling,

Breathing Air Apparatus and Air Hood with instrument air connection.

• Gas detector with emergency alarm systems in confined area.

• Emergency preparedness plan.

5.12 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

Some of the philosophies underlining the occupational health programme

are discussed below.



M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. will employ well qualified and experienced

safety Manager and make arrangement for part time doctor for regular

checking of health of the employees. Also, plans to become member of

any local hospital for emergency need. Annual health check for employees

will be carried out and record will be maintained. Regular training to plant

personnel in safety fire fighting and first aid will be provided.

Unit will maintain a healthy work environment. This will be accomplished

through the identification, evaluation and control of workplace

environmental factors which may cause sickness, impaired health or

significant discomfort and inefficiency among workers. Environmental

factors such as noise, physical hazards toxicity/ chemical hazard and

ergonomic hazards will be monitored on a periodic basis to assist in

maintaining a healthy work environment. Workers exposed to noise and

toxic materials will be evaluated against applicable recognised exposure

levels in the Factories Act. Hearing protection aid will be provided to

workers who work in the high noise areas, during construction of the

proposed facilities and also to those who will continue through the life of

the facility.

5.12.1Hazard Communication and Chemical Safety

The information on the hazards of the materials to be used will be

provided to the workers for the proposed project of M/s. Narayan Organics

Pvt. Ltd. A hazardous chemical directory is being developed to maintain

information on the hazards associated with each chemical used. Copies of

Material Safety Data Sheets for all hazardous materials at the proposed

facility will be kept at the unit and will be available for employee review.

Specific programs and procedures for the control of health hazards

associated with potentially harmful materials such as Acids, Alkali and



volatile chemicals etc. will follow the guiding principles established for

Occupational Health. The hazard communication program will serve as the

basis for selection of personal protective equipment such as gloves,

goggles, face shields, etc. A selected group of employees at the proposed

facility will receive first aid training to provide an immediate response and

medical care for injuries.

5.13 POST-PROJECT ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

The post – project environmental monitoring suggested herewith should

be as per the following guideline. The highlights of the integrated

environmental monitoring plan are:

• The stack monitoring facilities like ladder, platform and port – hole of

all the stacks maintained in good condition.

• Regular monitoring of all gaseous emissions from stacks / vents and all

fugitive emissions in the process areas.

• The performance of air pollution control equipment evaluated based on

these monitoring results.

• Water consumption in the complex recorded daily.

• Analysis of untreated and treated effluent, before discharge into the

final disposal pipeline carried out regularly.

• Performance of effluent treatment plant units evaluated based on

these analysis results.

• As far as possible, noise curbed at its source, with the help of acoustic

hood and other such noise reducing equipments.

• Regular noise level monitoring to be carried out.

• Green belt properly maintained and new plantation programmes

undertaken frequently.

• Continued environmental awareness programmes carried out within

the employees and also in the surrounding villages.



• Rain water harvesting ponds will be developed within the industrial

premises and encouraged in the surrounding villages too. All possible

back–up and support provided to them.

Ambient Air Quality monitoring

Schemes for monitoring ambient air quality stack emissions and fugitive

emissions are proposed. The ambient air quality monitoring systems are

recommended for monitoring the ground level concentrations and fugitive

emissions around the plant. M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. should install

three monitoring stations around its battery limit (at 1200 as per

guideline) for monitoring SPM, SO2 and NOX. The combined data will

provide overall characteristic and emission from the industry.

For this, the following equipment is recommended to be procured or can

higher the services from Environmental consultant by the project

proponent for implementing the above mentioned monitoring schemes:

• Respirable dust sampler

• Blower -1.0-1.5 m3/min capacity with adapter for uniform suction

through filter and a properly calibrated manometer assembly for the

determination of flow rate through filter paper.

• Rota meter- For gaseous sampling, calibrated Rota meter (0-5 LPM)

for maintaining flow rate should be provided

• Main housing-The main housing should be rectangular with a stand of

about 1.25 m height.

• Besides this, stack emissions monitoring as per GPCB guidelines shall

be carried out.

• Noise Environment

• Monitoring of noise levels is essential to assess the efficacy of

maintenance schedules undertaken to reduce noise levels and noise

protection measures. A good quality digital sound pressure level meter

is essential for this purpose.



• Water Environment

• Wastewater should be analyzed at the ETP discharge regularly.

Chapter - 6 QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT

6.1 INTRODUCTION

M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd. is the proposed unit for Pigment

manufacturing to be located at Block No. 164 to 170, Village: Vedach,

Taluka: Jambusar, Dist: Bharuch, State: Gujarat.

The risk assessment studies have been conducted for identification of

hazards, to calculate damage distances and to spell out risk mitigation

measures.

6.1.1 SCOPE OF STUDY

The scope of work is to carry out risk analysis for the proposed project

of the production facility covering all the hazardous chemicals to be

handled and stored at the plant.

6.1.2 STUDY OBJECTIVE

The objective of the risk analysis includes the following:

• Identification of hazards

• Selection of credible scenarios

• Consequences Analysis of selected accidents scenarios

• Risk Mitigation Measures

6.1.3 THE STUDY APPROACH

The risk assessment study broadly comprises the following steps:

• System Description

• Identification of Hazards

• Selection of Credible Accident Scenarios

• Consequence Analysis

• Risk Mitigation Measures



6.1.4 SYSTEM DESCRIPTION

This step comprises the compilation of the location, design and

operational information needed for the risk analysis.

6.1.5 IDENTIFICATION OF HAZARDS

Hazards associated with the plant are identified and summary of

relevant accident cases are reviewed.

6.1.6 SELECTION of ACCIDENT SCENARIOS

The release sources and potential accidents scenarios in the plant are

listed. For each selected release source several scenarios are developed

depending upon the failure mode causing loss of containment.

6.1.7 EFFECTS & CONSEQUENCE ESTIMATION

Effects & consequence estimation are done to determine the potential

for damage or injury from the selected scenarios. The incident outcomes

are analyzed using release rate, dispersion, combustion, and heat

radiation and explosion models from fires.

6.1.8 RISK REDUCTION MEASURES

Based on hazard identification and consequence analysis, risk reduction

measures are suggested to reduce risk and enhance safety at the plant.

6.2 HAZARDOUS IDENTIFICATION

Hazard is defined as those chemical or physical conditions that have the

potential for causing damage to people, property or the environment.

This chapter describes hazards associated with the plant due to handling

and storage of hazardous chemicals. Maximum credible accidents

scenarios involved in release of hazardous materials are selected and

vulnerable zones are computed.

Hazard identification is the first step in the risk analysis and entails the

process of collecting information on the types and quantities of

hazardous substances stored and handled, the location of storage tanks



& other facilities, potential hazards associated with the spillage and

release of hazardous chemicals.

The assessment of vulnerable zones resulting from an accidental release

of hazardous substance into the environment is one of the key elements

of risk analysis. Quantification of the effects of such releases requires,

data of the chemicals stored or handled in the area, quantities stored,

operating parameters, quantity that would be released in case of an

accident, meteorological conditions and physical attributes of the area.

The starting point of risk analysis study is the identification of hazards

and selection of scenarios that are then addressed for further

consequence analysis.

The proposed plant will be engaged in handling and storage of various

flammable and toxic hazardous materials. Important characteristic of

these hazardous materials are described in details.

and severe tissue burns. Can cause blindness.

Chronic Exposure: Long-term exposure to mist or vapors may cause

damage to teeth. Chronic exposure to mists containing sulfuric acid is a

cancer hazard.

Aggravation of Pre-existing Conditions: Persons with pre-existing skin

disorders or eye problems or impaired respiratory function may be more

susceptible to the effects of the substance.

First Aid Measures:

Inhalation: Remove to fresh air. If not breathing, give artificial

respiration. If breathing is difficult, give oxygen. Call a physician

immediately.

Ingestion: DO NOT INDUCE VOMITING. Give large quantities of water.

Never give anything by mouth to an unconscious person. Call a

physician immediately.

Skin Contact: In case of contact, immediately flush skin with plenty of

water for at least 15 minutes while removing contaminated clothing and

shoes. Wash clothing before reuse. Excess acid on skin can be

neutralized with a 2% solution of bicarbonate of soda. Call a physician

immediately.



Eye Contact: Immediately flush eyes with gentle but large stream of

water for at least 15 minutes, lifting lower and upper eyelids

occasionally. Call a physician immediately.

Fire Fighting Measures

Fire: Concentrated material is a strong dehydrating agent. Reacts with

organic materials and may cause ignition of finely divided materials on

contact.

Explosion: Contact with most metals causes formation of flammable and

explosive hydrogen gas.

Fire Extinguishing Media: Dry chemical, foam or carbon dioxide. Do not

use water on material. However, water spray may be used to keep fire

exposed containers cool.

Special Information: In the event of a fire, wear full protective clothing

and NIOSH-approved self-contained breathing apparatus with full face

piece operated in the pressure demand or other positive pressure mode.

Structural firefighter's protective clothing is ineffective for fires involving

this material. Stay away from sealed containers.

IV) Caustic Soda

Sodium hydroxide is white flaked and odourless. It is identified as a

corrosive hazard of ‘Class 8’. On spillage on the ground, it evaporates

and some toxic vapour may be formed but this alkali vapour cloud is

generally vary small and of no consequence.

It is harmful if swallowed or inhaled and causes burns to any area of

contact. It is not considered to be fire hazard. Do not handle without

PPEs. Use safety goggles, Gumboots, PVC hand gloves and rubber apron

if required.

6.3 QUANTITIES OF HAZARDOUS MATERIALS

As mentioned in Section-6.2, various hazardous chemicals will be stored

at the plant in small to large quantities as per requirement. As per

Manufacture, storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals rules 1989

and amendment subsequently, there will be only few hazardous

chemicals, which have potential for creating risk to life and property in

an unlikely event of leakage or spillage followed by fire.

The hazardous chemicals are stored at the plant in tank with adequate

dyke. Other chemicals will be stored in cylindrical tanks, barrels and

carboys. Details of storage of hazardous materials are given in Table -

6.1.

Table - 6.1: Facilities for Storage of Chemicals

Name of Chemical Quantity, MT/month Storage Facility

Sulphuric Acid (98%) 30 MSRL

Spent Acid (20-22%) 25 MSRL

6.4 HAZARDS DUE TO LEAKAGE OR CONTAINMENT

Since the proposed project is for the manufacturing of dyes and dyes

intermediates, various hazardous chemicals will be required to be

handled.



Hazardous chemical to be handled and stored at the plant is in liquid

form. In the event of leakage or accidental release of these chemicals, it

will create only localized effects within the short distances from fixed or

spread pool in case of fire. There is possibility that release of some

hazardous chemicals may form vapour cloud which can move towards

wind direction and may explode in the event of fire if mass and

concentration of air and vapour mixture is within the LEL and UEL limits.

However, mass of vapour and air mixture may not be adequate to

generate explosive mass.

Storage and handling of hazardous chemical will not pose any hazardous

situation if these are handled or stored correctly with adequate safety

provisions and fire fighting facilities. Therefore, suitable safety measures

including fire fighting facilities will be provided at the plant to attend any

emergency due to accidental release of these hazardous chemicals.

Among the hazardous inventories, there are few potential toxic

materials that can form toxic vapour cloud in unlikely event of release.

6.5 MAXIMUM CREDIBLE ACCIDENT SCENARIOS

The plant will be dealing with some hazardous substances i.e. Sulphuric

Acid, Ortho Nitro Benzene, Iso butyl alcohol described in details. This is

in the form of liquid and considered as odorous. Subsequently, their

consequence due to thermal radiation will be confined within short

distances. If released quantities are not ignited, therefore, vapour

formation can result in vapour and air mixture and may generate

explosive mass which can explode if it gets the source of ignition. Toxic

cloud of hazardous chemicals may also be formed and moved towards

wind direction.

6.5.1 Methodology For Selection of Accident Scenarios

In this study, following steps are followed for scenario selection for risk

analysis study:



• The hazardous materials to be handled at the plant and the

associated hazards have been identified and assessed.

• Operating and storage conditions of handling and storage of

hazardous materials are studied.

• An assessment is made of what inventories can get released

accidentally.

• Release rates are calculated considering different cases. For further

analysis of selected release sources, representative failure modes

and failure sizes are identified.

6.5.2 Maximum Credible Accident Scenarios Following maximum credible scenarios have been selected for

consequence analysis as a result of accidental releases:

Sr. No.

Type of Release Outcome Cases Considered

Formation of pool and thermal radiation due to fire Vapour cloud explosion 1. Release of Solvent Dispersion of toxic cloud of vapours Vapour cloud explosion

2 Acid leakages Dispersion of toxic cloud of vapours

6.5.3 Consequence Analysis

Consequence analysis for the selected accident scenarios has been

carried to estimate the vulnerable zones. Thermal radiation distances

have been computed based on various heat flux values vulnerable to

men and materials at the plant, while modelling of dispersion cloud is

based on IDLH (Immediately Dangerous for Life and Health) values. On

identification of vulnerable zones for failure cases, measures can be

taken for risk mitigation and to eliminate or minimize damage to the

plant and injury to personal.



6.6 PROBABLE HAZARDS & RISK

From the preliminary risk assessment study carried out for Narayan

Organics Pvt. Ltd. Some of the possible hazards have been identified.

The likely accident scenarios considered are given below:

Sr. No.

Scenario Vulnerability Zone

Remarks

1. Toxic Liquid Leakage/ Spillage in Confined Space

Confined Area Spillage to be mopped up, decontaminated (if required) and disposed of as per norms. Fresh Air inlet / Ventilation System to be fully opened. Ventilation Exhaust will carry harmful vapors. Personnel to avoid contact with exhaust vapors. Exhaust to be released at safe elevation.

2. Flammable liquid tank in tank farm on fire

Area adjoining to tank periphery/ other tanks in tank farm

Deluge all adjoining tanks till fire stops and heat is dissipated. Transfer/neutralize the spillage (if any).

The above-mentioned hazards scenarios can further aggravate into

much more serious incidents if not intercepted in time. The fire in one

tank of tank farm can spread to adjoining tanks and may result in

explosions. The vulnerability zone will be considerably enlarged. The

vapors of toxic fluids/dust if carried away by wind above TLV

concentrations may further enlarge the vulnerability zone. Similarly,

toxic fluid spillage and all wastes leaving the live processing zone if not

decontaminated properly can cause serious health hazard to plant

personnel and persons in nearby area.

6.7 METHODOLOGY, APPROACH AND DAMAGE CRITERIA FOR RISK

ASSESSMENT

Consequence analysis is that part of risk analysis, which considers

individual failure cases and the damage, caused by each failure case. It

is done to predict the outcome of potentially serious hazardous



accidents to man and material in and around the plant boundary limits.

The advantages of carrying out consequence analysis are given below:

• To improve plant layout (for new projects and for expansion of

existing one)

• To meet statutory requirements

• Protection of public in the nearby areas (no residential/ inhabited

near by)

• Disaster management planning

• Training tool

The findings of a consequence analysis provide information about

hazardous effects resulting from an accident scenario. In addition,

Methods for dealing with possible catastrophic events are also provided.

6.7.1 HAZARDS EVALUATION: EXPOSURE To TOXIC DUSTS / VAPORS

Leakage in process plant from failure of nozzles, joints (flange joint),

welding failures or dripping from non-holding valves/glands or dusts

generation during charging of solids at times goes unnoticed. If the

leaky dust or fluids being toxic and odorless it is a potential source of

risk, which may cause fatal/serious hazards.

Liquids with high saturation vapor pressures evaporate faster because

the evaporation rate (mass/time) is essentially proportional to the

saturation vapor pressure. In the case of vaporization into stagnant air,

the vaporization rate is proportional to the difference between the

saturation vapor pressure and the partial pressure in the stagnant air.

6.7.2 LIQUID POOL EVAPORATION OR BOILING

The pool boiling cases may be encountered during heavy leakage in

enclosed area (dyke wall of tanks) and with heat source nearby

(ambient or fire) the vapor can explode or catch fire (in case the

material is flammable and sparks/flame contact is made).

6.7.3 PLANT LEAKAGE IN CONFINED SPACE

A chemical fluid spill is a common type of process incident and can lead

to potentially serious accident. If the spilled material gives rise to



hazardous vapor or aerosol these may interact with plant environment

resulting in explosion or harm to plant’s personnel/ damage to plant

equipment/machinery (if vapors are toxic/ corrosive/inflammable). Most

chemical spills do not have such dramatic sequences but they must all

be handled carefully and correctly. Plant of Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd.

will open with natural ventilation.

6.7.4 DAMAGE CRITERIA

In order to appreciate the extent of damage produced by various

accident scenarios, it is appropriate to discuss the physiological/

physical effects of toxic fluid exposure/thermal radiation intensities due

to spillage causing subsequent fire. The thermal radiation usually results

in burn on the human body and damage to plantation. Furthermore,

inanimate objects like equipment, piping, cables, etc. may be affected

and may aggravate the situation further.

Consequence analysis has been carried out for selected failure cases.

Consequence analysis quantifies vulnerable zones for a likely incident

and once the vulnerable zone is identified for an incident, measures are

proposed to eliminate damage to plant and potential injury to personnel.

6.8 RISK MITIGATION MEASURES

For risk mitigation/reduction, attempts should be made either to reduce

inventories that could get released in the event of loss of containment

or failure likelihoods or both as feasible. Risk analysis identifies the

major risk contributors, which enables prioritization of the plant that

deserve special attention in terms of inspection and maintenance in

particular and over all safety management as a whole.

For the risk reduction at the plant, the following salient suggestions and

recommendations are made:

• On site and off site emergency response plan should be prepared

and circulated to concern persons.

REIA of Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd.,Unit-II 7-1

Chapter 7 ONSITE DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

7.1 INTRODUCTION

An emergency is said to have arisen when operators in the plant are not

able to cope with a potential hazardous situation i.e. loss of control of an

incident, causes the plant to go beyond its normal operating conditions,

thus creating danger. When such an emergency evolves, chain of events

which affect the normal working within the factory area and/or which, may

cause injuries, loss of life, substantial damage to property and environment

both inside and around the factory take place, then the DISASTER is said

to have occurred.

M/s. Narayan Organics Pvt. Ltd., Unit-II is the proposed unit for pigment

manufacturing. The unit proposes to manufacture Copper Pthalocyanine

Blue (CPC Blue), Pigment Alpha Blue and Pigment Beta Blue of 700.0 TPM,

75.0 TPM and 200.0 TPM capacity respectively. There will also be

generation of Ammonium Carbonate Solution (12-15%) as by-product up

to 600.0 TPM. Thus, total production capacity of the unit including by-

product will be 1575.0 TPM.

As described in chapter-6, the risk assessment studies have been

conducted for identification of hazards, to calculate damage distances and

to spell out risk mitigation measures.

Despite of best efforts to manage an emergency situation in the prevention

of any risk hazards from the manufacturing process or material handling,

things can go wrong. Therefore, it is essential to plan and develop the

support system, which will be required in case an emergency arises.



7.2 PROBABLE HAZARDS AND RISK

From the preliminary risk assessment study presented in Chapter 6 of this

report, some of the possible hazards have been identified.

7.3 OBJECTIVES OF THE PLAN

Following are the Objectives of the disaster management plan:

• To define and assess emergencies, including risk and environment

impact assessment.

• To reduce possibilities of an accident

• To safeguard employees, visitors and other people in the vicinity.

• To minimize damage to property and/or the environment.

• To inform employees, general public and the authorities on the

hazards/risk assessed, safeguards provided, residual risks, if any, and

the role to be played by them in the event of an emergency.

• To be ready for the mutual aid if need rises to help the neighbouring

unit. Normal jurisdiction of an On-site Emergency Plan is the own

premises only, but looking to the time factor in the arriving the

external help of off-site plan agency, the jurisdiction must be

extended outside to the extent possible in case of an emergency

occurring outside.

• To inform authorities and mutual aid centres to come for help.

• To affect rescue and treatment of casualties to count injured.

• To identify and list any dead.

• To inform and help relatives.

• To secure the safe rehabilitation of affected area and to restore

normality.

• To provide authoritative information to the news media.

• To preserve records, equipment, etc., and to organize investigation

into the cause of the emergency and preventive measures to stop its

reoccurrence.



• To ensure safety of the work force before they re-enter and resume

work.

• To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to

provide for emergency preparedness and the periodical rehearsal of

the plan.

The structure of the plan may vary depending on number of employees,

materials and processes, availability of resources, location of site, size and

complexity of work.

The plan should not be complicated. Instructions should not overlap or

create any confusion. Responsibilities should be clearly assigned and

should be workable smoothly. For clear understanding and quick action,

the action (role) by each individual (his emergency duty) should be

prepared in a booklet or card size and given to him.

7.4 IDENTIFICATION OF MAJOR HAZARDS

The major hazardous field where disaster management plan is required are

as under:

• Bursting of high-pressure steam pipe, vessels, etc. due to

abnormal pressure rise

• Fire hazard due to ignition of fuel

• Inhalation of any hazardous chemical

7.5 SCOPE OF THE PLAN

• The plan will set into action immediately after a fire or other hazard

occurs in and/or around the plant

• Fuel storage facility will be situated away from the manufacturing plant

and will follow all rules and regulation

• All the electrical fittings will be of explosion proof fitting

• All necessary fire-fighting arrangements will be provided near the

storage area



7.6 THE UTILITY, ORGANIZATION AND UTILIZATION OF RESOURCES

AND FACILITIES FOR EMERGENCIES

In order to maintain an emergency response capability, certain facilities

must be kept in a state of readiness and sufficient supplies and equipment

must be available. In some cases, it may be impossible to maintain all of

the equipment necessary for all possible emergencies. In these cases,

agreements have to be made with neighbouring facilities to provide

additional support as and when necessary.

Where the local police or private agencies may be called upon, such as

volunteer fire companies and ambulance associations, agreements have to

be developed ahead of time. Emergency hardware can be classified

according to its use during the response operations. Typical examples are:

• Emergency operation centres

• Communication equipment

• Alarm system

• Personal protection equipment

• Fire fighting facilities, equipment and supplies

• Spill and vapour release control equipment and supplies

• Medical facilities, equipment and supplies

• Monitoring systems

• A media Centre

• Transportation system

• Security and access control equipment

Some of these resources will also be available in the local municipalities. It

is the responsibility of the plant management to ensure that the

appropriate equipments and materials are available to respond to their

very hazard-specific emergencies at the facilities, independently from

external resources. These resources can be extremely valuable, but should



be used mainly in support of the main response actions that the facility

personnel will have to implement in case of a serious emergency.

In any case, the availability of resources within the community must be

determined before hand, so that these resources can be mobilized, if the

time comes to do so.
