2.11.2. Effluent generation and its management (ZLD)
Source of Effluent water:
The effluent is generated from sources:
i) Processing
ii) Boiler Blow Down
iii) Cooling Tower Purging
iv) Plant Floor Washing
Wastewater generated from the plant will be segregated into low concentrated stream and high
concentrated stream. High concentrated stream i.e. effluent generated from the process (6.46
KLD) will be sent to the stripper, where solvents (1 KLD) will be recovered and the remaining
effluent (5.46 KLD) will be sent to MEE for further treatment. Condensate (4.914 KLD)
generated from the MEE will be sent to existing ETP for further treatement.
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 269
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
Low concentrated stream i.e. wastewater generated from cooling tower, boiler, equipment and
floor washing (13.17 KLD) will be treated into ETP followed by RO and MEE. Domestic
wastewater (5.1 KLD) will be sent to ETP for further treatment.
Treated water (16.49 KLD) will be reused for flushing, gardening, washing and cooling Tower
make-up. Thus, Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) will be achieved.
Process of the waste water treatment:
Waste water generated from industries is collected via series of drains and is collected in
effluent collection tank.
1. Stripper
Effluent generated from the process will be sent to the stripper, where solvents will be
recovered and the remaining effluent will be sent to MEE for further treatment.
2. Multiple Effect Evaporator
Reject of stripper is having high solid contains. Separation of solids is done by heating media
(i.e. Steam, Coal, Electric, etc) using evaporation method is called Evaporator. In a multiple-
effect evaporator, water is boiled in a sequence of vessels. Evaporated water is condensed
using cooling water and sent to ETP for further treatment.
3. Physico-Chemical Treatment
Online chemical dosing is done to the flash mixer before it gets to settling tank. Chemically
treated effluent overflow into the settling tank where solid particles get collected in hopper and
drain to the SDB where it gets dewatered.
4. Electro coagulation
Electro coagulation is to apply an electrical charge to water, and the process of changing the
particle surface charge, allowing suspended matter to form an agglomeration. It is an advanced
and economical water treatment technology. It effectively removes suspended solids to sub-
micrometre levels, breaks emulsions such as oil and grease or latex, and oxidizes and
eradicates heavy metals from water without the use of filters or the addition of separation
chemicals.
5. Fenton treatment
Fenton process generates the hydroxyl free radical as a strong oxidant to destroy impurity
compounds. The hydroxyl radical is a powerful, non-selective chemical oxidant, which acts very
rapidly with most organic compounds. Hydroxyl radicals aggressively attack virtually all-organic
compounds.

FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 270
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
6. Ozonation
Ozone is an unstable gas comprising of three oxygen atoms, the gas will readily degrade back
to oxygen, and during this transition a free oxygen atom, or free radical form. The free oxygen
radical is highly reactive and short lived. It rapidly reacts with untreated pollutants. This treated
water will be carried further to settling tank.
7. Aeration
Aeration is the process of adding air into wastewater. It is provided to effluent to remove
ammonical nitrogen, VOC’s present.
8. Bioreactor
Bio media along with food and sewage is fed in aeration tank. Aeration provides oxygen to
bacteria for treating and stabilizing the wastewater. Oxygen is needed by the bacteria to allow
biodegradation to occur. The supplied oxygen is utilized by bacteria in the wastewater to break
down the organic matter containing carbon to form carbon dioxide and water.
9. Tertiary treatment
Clarified effluent is then pumped with the help of Pressure pump through Pressure Sand Filter
and Activated Carbon Filter where all solid particles and organic odor if any gets removed.
Treated effluent is disinfected online with the help of hypochlorite. Treated effluent is stored in
underground treated effluent storage tank and to be used for further discharge.
10. Reverse Osmosis
Reverse Osmosis, commonly referred to as RO, is a process where demineralization or
deionization of water occurs by pushing it under pressure through a semi-permeable Reverse
Osmosis Membrane. Reverse osmosis can remove many types of dissolved and suspended
solid from water, including bacteria, and treated water will be reused for flushing, gardening,
washing and cooling Tower make-up, while, reject from the RO will be sent to MEE for further
treatment.
11. Sludge Handling & Disposal
Sludge from settling tank is drained through gravity on drying bed for dewatering of sludge.
Dewatered sludge is sun dried and sent for proper disposal. Salts from the MEE will be sent to
the CHWTSDF for disposal.

rock is exposed, hard and soft murrum also cover sizable portion of entire land.
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 279
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
Soil of the study area is moderately deep medium to dark black in colour and has low fertility.
This soil is of favourable to the growth of large trees but it is very fertile for cereals and pulses.
The black soil contains high alumina and carbonates of calcium and magnesium with variable
amounts of potash, low nitrogen and phosphorus. The soil is less common and is suitable for
cultivation under a heavy and consistent rainfall. Bajra, onion, sugarcane, Soyabean,
Vegetable and fruits are important crops grown n the area.
3.5. Geomorphology & Soil types
The district forms part of Western Ghat and Deccan Plateau. Physiographically Nashik district
comprises varied topography. The main system of hills is Sahayadri and its offshoots viz.,
Satmala, Selbari and Dolbari hill ranges. These hill ranges along with eastern and southern
plains and Godavari valley are the distinct physiographic units. The northern part of the district
falls under Tapi basin and is drained by easterly flowing Girna River along with its tributaries,
whereas the southern part of the district falls under Godavari basin and is drained by Godavari
River and its tributaries. Other important rivers in the district are Damanganga, Vaitarna,
Darna, Kadva, Aram, Mosam, Panjan and Manegad.
The soils of the district are the weathering products of Basalt and have various shades from
gray to black, red and pink color. The soils occurring in the district are classified in the four
categories namely lateritic black soil (Kali), reddish brown soil (Mal), coarse shallow reddish
black soil (Koral), medium light brownish black soil (Barad). In general the soils are very fertile
and suitable for growing cereal and pulses. The black soil contains high alumina and
carbonates of calcium and magnesium with variable amounts of potash, low nitrogen and
phosphorus. The red soil is less common and is suitable for cultivation under a heavy and
consistent rainfall.
3.6. Hydrogeology
The entire area of the district is underlain by the basaltic lava flows of upper cretaceous to lowr
Ecocene age. The shallow alluvial formation of recent age also occurs as narrow stretch along
the banks of Darna and Godavari rivers flowing in the area.
Hard Rock (Deccan Trap Basalt)
Basaltic lava flows occupies about 90% of the area of the district. These flows are normally
horizontally disposed over a wide stretch and give rise to table land type of topography also
known a plateau. These flows occur in layered sequences and represented by massive unit at

the bottom and vesicular unit at the top of the flow. These flows are separated from each other
by marker bed known as ‘bole bed’.
Soft Rock (Alluvium)
Alluvium occurs in small areas in the form of discontinuous patches along the banks and flood
plains of major rivers like Godavari, Girna and their tributaries. In alluvium the granular detrital
material like sand and gravel usually occurring as thin layer in the district yields water. In the
district Alluvium occupies an area of 1500 sq.km and it ranges in thickness from 7- 21 meters.
It consists of reddish and brownish clays with intercalations of sand, gravel and kanker.
3.7. Seismology
According to the seismic-zoning map of India, the project area falls in Zone III-Moderate Risk
zone of seismicity. The region has experienced quite of few earthquakes from past decades.
The recorded years for the earthquake at Nashik are: 1764 (Intensity VII), 1856 (Intensity VII),
1935, 2008 (Light earthquake).

3.8. Land use
The basic purpose of land use pattern and classification in an EIA study is to identify the
manner in which different parts of land in an area are being utilized or not utilized. Remote
sensing data provides reliable accurate baseline information for land use mapping, as it is a
rapid method of acquiring up-to-date information of over a large geological area.
A systematic digital image interpretation approach was used to delineate the land use classes.
The present study was focused on demarcating boundaries of different land use/land cover
units from an analysis of different types of colour registrations of land use/land cover units from
satellite imagery. Data Used in the land use map preparation is the satellite Imagery of Indian
Remote Sensing Satellite (IRS- ID , sensor P6, LISS III) of 24 m resolution.

The baseline studies on air environment include identification of specific air pollution
parameters expected to have significant impacts and assessing their existing levels in ambient
air within the impact zone. To assess the baseline status of ambient air quality in the study
area, monitoring is undertaken to ascertain the baseline pollutant concentrations in ambient air.
Methodology for air Monitoring: AAQM was carried out and AAQM locations were monitored
on 24 hourly average bases twice in a week as per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. The
conventional and project specific parameters such as particulate matter PM10 (size less than 10
µm), particulate matter PM2.5 (size less than 2.5µm), Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) & Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx) were monitored.
Selection of Stations for Sampling: For EIA, the purpose is to ascertain the baseline
pollutant concentrations in ambient air. Accordingly, the criterion can be selected to ascertain
quality of air on human settlements or environmentally sensitive areas if any located in the 10
km radius study area.
The locations for AAQM study were selected within the 10 km radius of the proposed plant
installation. Ambient air quality was monitored on 8 locations to generate representative
ambient air quality data.

3.11. Noise Environment
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. It interferes with speech and hearing. If intense
enough, it can damage hearing, or is otherwise irritating. 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.
The objective of the noise pollution survey in the study area is to identify existing noise sources
and to measure background noise levels.
Reconnaissance
In order to measure the existing noise sources and to identify the background noise levels, the
noise pollution survey around the proposed site was carried out. The collection of baseline noise
environment data included Identification of noise sources and to measure background noise
levels and Measurement of noise levels due to transportation and other local activity.
Methodology for Noise Monitoring
Noise standards have been designated as per the Noise Pollution (Regulation & Control) Rules,
2000 Notified by Ministry of Environment and Forests, New Delhi, February 14, 2000. The
ambient noise standards are presented in Equivalent noise levels (Leq.) have been measured
twice a week during study period. The measurements were carried out at each monitoring
location during day time and night time.

3.13. Soil Environment
Soil is our most important natural resource and a natural resource is anything that comes from the
earth and is used by us. We depend on the soil for food, clothing, shelter, minerals, clay & water.
Soil is the seat of many macro and micro flora like algae, fungi, earthworms, bacteria etc. These
are very beneficial in promoting soil reactions and decomposing the organic matter by which
essential nutrients for plants are liberated. Most of the soil is made-up of two main parts:
Tiny bits of mineral particles which come from larger rocks, and humus, which is dark brown in
color and consists of decaying remains of plants and animals.
Soil also contains water, air and living organisms, such as fungi, bacteria, earthworms,
roundworms, insects, etc. Actually more living organisms live in the soil than above it.
For general characterization of soil a few random samples from the study area to the depth of
about 15-cm may sufficient. Deeper soil samples may be needed only for the study of soil profile.
3.13.1. Methodology
The soil samples were collected from 8 selected locations during monitoring season. The samples
collected were homogeneous representative of each sampling location. At random sub-locations
were identified at each location and soil samples were collected from 5 to 15 cm below the surface.
It was uniformly mixed before homogenizing the soil samples. The samples about 500-gms were
packed in polythene bags labeled in the field with location, number and sent to the laboratory for
the analysis of physicochemical parameters.
3.13.2. Soil Sampling Locations
Soil sampling was conducted once during the study period of monitoring season. 8 soil samples
were collected from selected locations in the vicinity of the proposed project. For studying soil
quality environment in the study area, sampling locations were selected to assess the existing soil
conditions in and around the existing plant area representing various land use conditions. The
homogenized samples were analyzed for physicochemical characteristics.
Analysis of Soil Samples
The soil samples were examined for various physicochemical parameters, to determine the existing
soil characteristics of the study area.

CHAPTER 4. ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1. Prelude
Prediction of environmental impacts is the most important component in the impact assessment
study, as it provides quantitative information on anticipated environmental impacts from a project
well in advance. Several mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies are available for
predicting impacts from developmental projects on the surrounding physicochemical, ecological
and socio-economic components of environment. The results obtained from the predictions are
superimposed over the baseline data (pre-project) to derive the ultimate (post-project) scenario
of environmental quality status in the study area around the proposed project site. The
quantitative impacts derived from predictions are also essential to delineate effective
environmental management plan for minimizing the adverse impacts on the surrounding
environment during construction and operation phases of the project.
The following sections identify the potential impacts on the environment from the proposed
project based on the nature and extent of the various activities associated with the project
implementation and operation, as well as the current status of the environmental quality at the
project site. Both beneficial (positive) and adverse (negative) impacts are considered.
4.2. Valued Environmental Components and Potential Impacts
The project activities will interact with various valued Environmental Components viz., air, water,
soil, land, flora & fauna, etc. The components that may be affected due to the proposed
manufacturing of Bulk drug intermediates and require focused evaluation are summarized in the
following sub-sections, considering both construction phase as well as operation phase of the
project:
4.2.1. Potential Impacts during Project Operation
• Impact on Air Environment
• Impact on Noise Environment
• Impact on Water Environment
• Impact due to Solid Waste/ Hazardous Waste
• Impact on Terrestrial Ecology
• Impact on Land Environment
• Impact on Socio-economic Environment

Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
4.3. Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Project Implementation (Construction phase)
4.3.1. Air Environment, Noise Environment, Land Environment, Solid and Hazardous
waste, Site Security and Safety, Water Environment, Soil Environment, Socio-
economic Environment, Health and Well-being of Construction Workers
There will not be any significant environmental impacts on the above aspects because there is
minimal construction and/or machenary installation work involved in the proposed expansion
project. The proposed project is an expansion of existing products as well as addition of new
products to the existing manufacturing unit of Bulk Drugs & Intermediates. For the expansion of
production capacity, existing facilities will be utilized and some machinery such as reactors,
centrifuge, mill, etc. will be installed & some foundation work will also be carried out as per
requirement.
4.4. Potential Impacts and Mitigation Measures during Operation phase
Some of the potentially significant environmental impacts from the proposed project will be in
Water environment, Land environment, Air environment, Soild- Hazardous waste, Soil quality,
socio-economics, Ecology & biodiversity, Odour problem and Energy conservation.
4.4.1. Air Environment
Air environment is likely to be affected due to emissions from combustion of fuels used in
machineries, vehicles, Boiler and DG Set. Point and non point source of pollutants will be there
which may cause serious threat to the air quality and it can result in many secondary impacts
like occupation & social health, corrosion of metallic structures of area etc.
Mitigation Measures:
• DG set will be operated as a power back-up only.
• Stack of adequate height as per CPCB norms will be erected.
• Periodical monitoring will be carried out.
• To control the fugitive emission proper practices regular maintenance of plant and
similar measures will be practiced for proposed project.
• Scrubber is installed for process emissions. Another scrubber will also be installed for further
expansion project.
The air quality impacts have been predicted for the proposed plant assuming baseline air quality.
Site-specific meteorological parameters have been recorded by continuous monitoring. Short
term 24 hourly GLC's incremental values were estimated using the site-specific meteorological
conditions.

Model and Methodology for Computation
AERMOD View – Lake Environmental Software, which is a Gaussian-Plume atmospheric
dispersion algorithm for estimating concentration of pollutant, has been used to predict the
Ground Level Concentrations (GLC’s) of TSP, SO2 and NOx due to proposed plant activity. The
GLC’s were predicted on 24 hourly average basis keeping in view the prescribed national
ambient air quality standards (NAAQS).
Data used for Modeling
The hourly meteorological data along with emission rate for individual pollutants used for
prediction of air quality impacts as given in chapter 2 has been taken into consideration.

4.4.2. Noise Environment
Impact:
Operational phase impacts will mainly result from the operation of compressor and transfer
pumps. Noise level near the compressor has been predicted to exceed 75 dB(A), therefore site
workers shall be provided with personal protective equipments (PPEs). Also, it has been
envisaged that noise impacts on local community due to proposed project activities will be
insignificant as noise levels of less than 45 dB(A) have been predicted at a distance of one
kilometer the impacts will be insignificant. Noise may also be generated due to movement of
heavy vehicles, medium vehicles and automobiles during operational phase. However, it has
been envisaged that increase in noise impacts due to vehicular movement will be temporary and
marginal to be considered for their impacts on nearby human settlement.
Mitigation Measures:
• Rubber pads or any other noise absorbing materials will be provided around noise
generating sources like pumps and blowers etc.
• Workers will be provided with PPEs like ear plugs, ear mufflers etc.
• Periodic maintenance of machinery shall be undertaken to reduce the noise impact.
• In case of Power failure, DG sets will be used with acoustic enclosures.
• Sufficient green area will be maintained in & around the project site, which will act as a
noise barrier.
4.4.3. Water Environment
Total water requirement of the project after expansion for domestic & Industrial activity during
operation phase will be 54.41 KLD. Water requirement for the industrial purpose will be 44.26
KLD, for the domestic purpose will be 6.13 KLD and 4.02 KLD for green belt. Main source of
water supply is tanker water supply.
Wastewater generated from the plant will be segregated into low concentrated stream and high
concentrated stream. High concentrated stream i.e. effluent generated from the process will be
sent to the stripper, where solvents will be recovered and the remaining effluent will be sent to
MEE for further treatment. Condensate generated from the MEE will be sent to existing ETP.
Low concentrated stream i.e. wastewater generated from cooling tower, boiler, equipment and
floor washing will be treated into ETP followed by RO and MEE. Domestic wastewater will be
sent to ETP for further treatment.
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 339
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
Treated water will be reused for flushing, gardening, washing and cooling Tower make-up. Thus,
Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) will be achieved. Hence, no significant impact on ground water and
surface water is envisaged.
4.4.4. Storm Water
Impact: The rain water from the building roofs, paved areas and other areas will be directed
through closed pipeline to natural drainage.
Mitigation Measures:
It will be ensure that no plant area water get mixed with storm water drain. Surface run-off from
the site is channelized through storm water drains and treated in existing ETP.
4.4.5. Surface Water Quality
Impact: It is proposed to treat all the industrial wastewater generated from the plant in the ETP
followed by RO & MEE; treated water will be reused in different activities. Thus, Zero Liquid
Discharge (ZLD) will be achieved. Hence, proposed project will not have any impact on surface
water resources.
4.4.6. Land Environment
Impact:
During operation phase spillage or leakage in any form may destroy the quality of soil around the
plant. Impact of chemicals will be taken into consideration while handling materials. Every
precaution will be taken to prevent spillage. Solid wastes will be segregated and handed over to
authorized vendor. Thus no significant impact is envisaged on soil environment.
Mitigation Measures:
The green area development and tree plantation will help in enhancing the aesthetics of the
plant.
4.4.7. Solid and Hazardous Waste
Wastes like process waste and organic waste are to be separately collected & sent for safe
disposal or sold to the authorized vendor. The final hazardous wastes from the plant as
classified under Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement)
Rules, 2016 will be disposed off in the common hazardous waste secured landfill site or send to
the authorized vendors/to the authorized recycler.
EIA REPORT

Page 340
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
Mitigation Measures:
Hazardous waste generated from the facility shall be disposed off in suitable manner as per the
Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary Movement) Rules, 2016. The
hazardous wastes generated such as used oil, Distillation residues, Waste residues, Spent
solvents, ETP Sludge, Oil & grease skimming, Filter material, discarded product material (R & D
basis) and Discarded containers generated from the proposed project shall be collected and
shall be sold to the authorized recyclers or CHWTSDF site or authorized vendor identified by the
MPCB/CPCB. Authorization from MPCB has already taken for Hazardous Waste disposal to
authorized vendor.
Solid waste management includes following:
• Measures to minimize waste generation
• Operation of waste handling, treatment and disposal facilities
The hazardous solid wastes generated from the proposed expansion project will be sent to
disposal site as per MPCB/CPCB guidelines. The waste management plan includes:
• Waste inventory
• Classification of waste
• Packaging, storing and transporting wastes to disposal site
• Data management and reporting
• Contingency plan
• Personnel training
• Waste minimization
The requirements, which will be specified in the Authorization from MPCB, will be followed. The
manifest system will also be implemented for control and record keeping.
Resource Conservation/ Waste Minimization:
The unit shall also implement the concept of waste minimization circle including:
• Volatiles in the by-products will be condensed and reused.
• Volatile raw materials and solvents will be separated by fractional distillation and will be
recycled into process.
Good House Keeping:
Proper housekeeping practices make the system easier and less costly. Some of these are as
follows:
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 341
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
• Solid wastes generated from the process and packaging are to be separately collected
and disposed off instead of allowing these to join effluent streams. This will reduce load
and increase the efficiency of treatment system.
• Liquid wastes from various sections such as scrubbing facility, recovery and purification
of final product shall be collected and stored separately and released at a regulated rate
so as to avoid shock loads to the treatment plant.
Minimizing Solid Wastes Disposal:
The following points are suggested to facilitate solid wastes disposal:
• Efficient collection and transportation mechanism for disposal of solid wastes.
• Search for future recycling schemes and evaluate their worth and implement such
schemes wherever a promise of economic feasibility exists.
Discarded Container/ Barrels/ Liners Management:
• Discarded containers/ barrels will be kept at a designated place with paved surface.
These will be decontaminated (washed/cleaned) and after that will be stored in the
designated area in storage yard. Later on these will be sold to the authorized vendors/
recyclers as per the Hazardous and Other Wastes (Management and Transboundary
Movement) Rules, 2016.
• The record of discarded containers/ barrels stored in storage yard will be maintained and
also, inventory of their selling to the registered recyclers will be maintained.
4.4.8. Socio-Economic Environment
Impact:
The proposed project will have some positive impact on the industrial growth in the region. It is
anticipated that during the operation phase, the proposed project will generate some direct and
indirect employment due to different activities.
Mitigation Measures:
The overall project will have a long term benefit and hence no mitigation measure is required.
However, as per the skills, preference to local people shall be given in employment.
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 342
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
4.4.9. Ecology and Biodiversity
Impact:
The project activity does not require tree cutting during land clearing and the plant activities are
not expected to have any impact on the ecology and biodiversity.
Mitigation Measures:
A total of 4600 m2 area (36.8%) has been earmarked for greenbelt development, which will help
in development of biodiversity. The indigenous plants are planted along with ornamental
trees/shrubs to provide an aesthetic environment within and around the plant. The maintenance
of the greenbelt developed will be ensured and survival rate of the plants will also be studied
every half yearly. Treated water will be used for greenbelt development.
4.4.10. Odour Problem
Impact:
Some of the processes and wastes generated from the plant may release high odour.
Undesirable odour contributes to air quality concerns and affect human lifestyles. On the
economic front, loss of property value near odour-causing operations/industries and odorous
environment is partly a consequence of offensive odour. Odour is undoubtedly the most complex
of all the air pollution problems. Mainly odour generated by the industries varies enormously
since they can be generated during the production, processing, or even in the waste water
treatment areas of the plants.
Mitigation Measures:
Control of VOCs and fugitive Emissions:
• Sampling points will be provided with double valve followed by suction hoods which will
be connected to ducting system leading to scrubbing system.
• Odour causing raw materials will be charged in closed chambers with exhaust of
chambers connected to ducting system leading to scrubbing system.
• All waste storage tanks and waste preparation and raw material storage tanks will be
connected to vacuum system. These off gases will be connected to scrubbers.
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 343
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
Additional Measures
• “Odour rounds” by non-plant personnel will hold regular meetings and odour rounds in
the factory premises for ensuring effective implementation of odour control measures.
• As a long term measure to improve the environment, plantation of trees within factory
premises as well as along the nearby roads is done.
• All critical vessels, pumps and reactors which have potential to generate odour will be
fitted with mechanical seals to prevent leakage and therefore odour.
• De-odorizer solution will be sprayed through special network, which will be laid around
the plant. It will help in neutralizing the fugitive emissions.
• Beneath all sample points/ drain points, spill control powder containing trays will be kept
so as to adsorb even slightest of leakage, if at all arises from these points. The spill
control powder will then be sent for disposal as a solid waste.
4.4.11. Energy Conservation
During the operation phase of the project, energy resources will be required for operating various
pumping machineries for water & wastewater, internal road lighting, common utilities etc.
Solar Electricity Generation Plant is installed at Factory premises for generating between 886 to
1063 KVA (unit) per day and utilized for production activity
Solar Water Heater Plant is installed at Factory premises for generating 3000 liter per day and
utilized for production activity saving 120 to 180 liters of LDO per day.
The following options can be used for energy conservation:
• Energy efficient machineries shall be used during operation phase as per Energy
Conservation Building Code 2007.
• Wherever possible in the plant, utilization of renewable sources of energy for
conservation of non-renewable sources of energy shall be ensured.
• Sufficient care shall be taken to prevent/ minimize energy losses at each stage of
development.
• Every year energy audit shall be conducted through competent authority nominated by
Govt. of India.

CHAPTER 5. ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5.1. Introduction
It is the best practice that the EIA should consider project alternatives and their relative potential
impact on the environment. Alternatives must, however, be both practical and reasonable, within
the overall constraints of the proposed project development. The project alternative is the way of
action in pace of another, that would meet the same purpose and need, but which would avoid or
minimize negative impacts and enhance project benefits.
Project activities may consume natural resources and discharge wastes, which are likely to have
serious consequence to the environment. A number of alternative options may be available to
carry out many of these activities. An option with least or nil adverse environment impacts is to
be selected. Critical analysis is therefore required for selection of the right alternative. Alternative
Analysis (AA) has been done for critical aspects of the project.
M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited has proposed expansion for manufacturing capacity
of Bulk Drugs & Intermediates at the exiting facility. While selecting this site for production
capacity expansion and manufacturing of new products, Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
has considered following factors:
5.2. Analysis of Site Alternative
The project is in proximity of Nashik district of Maharashtra State. Site is located near the Nashik
– Mumbai National Highway (NH-3). Proponent is very well familiar with the surrounding
environment as it is an expansion project; therefore, it becomes easy for the unit to expand the
production capacity on above said location.
The other supporting features are briefly summarized hereunder,
• Availability of all basic facilities like infrastructure, communication, Transportation, medical
facilities, fuel, water, power, unskilled & skilled manpower, raw materials, road network
etc.
• Nearest town Nashik is 20.0 km away from the project site, which are very well connected
with other parts of the country by road & rail;
• Minimal additional construction or plant/ equipment/ machinery are required for proposed
expansion and addition of new products.
• As the proposed project is an expansion project, there is no Rehabilitation & Resettlement
involved;
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 347
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
• Easy availability of manpower for proposed activities;
The location of project is best suited to start above manufacturing activities, so no alternative for
site is analyzed.
5.3. Analysis of Alternative for technologies
Alternatives for technologies considered are mentioned in the table, given below:
Table 5.1 Alternatives for technologies
Particular Proposed Technology Alternatives
Water Wastewater generated from the plant will
be segregated into low concentrated
stream and high concentrated stream.
High concentrated stream i.e. effluent
generated from the process will be sent
to the stripper, where solvents will be
recovered and the remaining effluent will
be sent to MEE for further treatment.
Condensate generated from the MEE will
be sent to existing ETP.
Low concentrated stream i.e. wastewater
generated from cooling tower, boiler,
equipment and floor washing will be
treated into ETP followed by RO and
MEE. Domestic wastewater will be sent
to ETP for further treatment.
Treated water will be reused for flushing,
gardening, washing and cooling Tower
make-up. Thus ZLD will be achived.
The existing effluent treatment
system is adequate to achieve the
norms specified by CPCB/MPCB.
Hence no alternative is considered.
Air Stacks of adequate height as per the
MPCB/CPCB standards are provided for
the boiler, Scrubber (Process Reactor)
and D.G set.
The existing APCM is adequate to
keep the emission within limit.
Hence, No alternative is considered.

Solid/
Hazardous
waste
Hazardous Waste will be stored in
separate hazardous waste storage area.
The hazardous wastes are finally
disposed at approved CHWTSDF site,
and /or disposed by selling to registered
recycler or sale to the authorized vendor
approved by MPCB/CPCB.
As existing and proposed disposal
facilities are safe disposal facilities
and also guided by authority. No
thoughts are required to switching
on other alternative.

CHAPTER 6. ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAME
6.1. Environmental Monitoring Programme
Environmental Monitoring describe the processes and activities that need to take place to
characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental Monitoring is used in the
preparation of the environmental impact assessment, as well as in many circumstances in which
human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring
strategies and programs have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish the
current status of an environment and prediction of the impact of future development and/or
alteration in the operation and design of existing installation. Environmental Monitoring Network is
operation phase of the project for monitoring of various Environmental parameters like air, water,
Noise, soil etc.
M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited is located at Gut No. – 204, Nashik – Mumbai
highway, A/p – Vadivarhe, Tal. – Igatpuri, Dist. – Nashik – 422 403 (Maharashtra). Usually, as in
the case of the present study, an impact assessment study is carried out over a short period of
time and the data cannot bring out all variations induced by natural or by human activities.
Environmental Monitoring Program will be modified as per requirement after the proposed new
plant.
6.2. Objectives of Monitoring
• To comply with the statutory requirements of monitoring for compliance with conditions of
EC, NOC and CC&A.
• To comply with the provision of factory Act.
• To verify the result of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to new
development.
• Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition to plan
additional mitigation measures; if & as required.
• To check or assess the efficiency of the controlling measures.
• To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact assessment
study, do not become critical through the commissioning of new project.
• To establish a data base for future impact assessment studies for new project.
6.3. Environmental Monitoring Program
Environmental Monitoring should be carried out during construction and operation phase of the
project.
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES

Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
Monitoring and Reporting Procedure
Regular monitoring of important and crucial environmental parameters is of immense importance
to assess the status of the environment during an operational phase. With the knowledge of
baseline condition, the monitoring program can serve as an indicator for any deterioration in
environmental conditions due to operational phase and suitable mitigation steps could be taken in
time to safeguard the environment. Monitoring is as important as that of control of pollution since
the efficiency of control measures can only be determined by monitoring. The proposed
monitoring program gives below:
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring
Both ambient air quality and stack emission will be monitored. The ambient air quality with respect
to NOx, SO2, suspended particulate matter (PM10 and PM2.5) will be monitored in at least 3-5
location in and around the project site through a reputed environmental laboratory recognized by
MoEF/NABL. Monitoring will be carried out for quarterly in operation phase. Similarly, all the
stacks in the proposed unit will be monitored once in three months with respect to NOx, SO2,
Suspended particulate matter (SPM) and Carbon Monoxide (CO) level.
Waste water monitoring
The wastewater emanating from the different stream of industry will be monitored once in a month
for physico-chemical characteristics. Ground water monitoring locations will be identified and
periodically check the Physical, chemical as well as biological parameter as per drinking water
standard IS: 10500:2012.
Noise level monitoring
Monitoring of the noise level is essential to assess the effectiveness of Environmental
Management Plan implemented to reduce noise levels. A good quality sound level meter and
noise exposure meter may be procured for the same. Audiometric tests shall be conducted
periodically for the employees working close to the high noise sources. The noise levels due to
machines and equipments will be monitored regularly.
6.3.1. Monitoring Equipment and Consumables
A well-equipped laboratory with consumable items will be provided for monitoring of important
environmental parameters. Alternatively, monitoring can be outsourced from MoEF/NABL
recognized laboratory.

7.2. Risk Assessment
Accidental risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an
event or sequence of events resulting into fire, explosion or toxic hazards to human health and
environment.
The hazard potential and estimation of consequences in case of its accidental release are the
issues of immediate relevance to be considered. It is therefore, imperative to carry out Maximum
Credible Accident (MCA) analysis at the first stage, which identifies vulnerable areas around the
facility and suggests a set of recommendations to improve safety.

The work undertaken consists of the following stages:
• Collection of relevant data on project description and proposed activities.
7.2.1. Hazard Identification& Risk Assessment (HIRA)
The regulations require the employer, in consultation with employees, to identify:
a. All reasonably foreseeable hazards that may cause a major accident; and
b. The kinds of major accidents that may occur, the likelihood of a major accident occurring
and the likely consequences of a major accident.
HIRA must address potentially rare events and situations that ensure the full range of major
accidents and their causes. To achieve this, employers should:
a. Identify and challenge assumptions and existing norms of design and operation to test
whether they may contain weaknesses;
b. Think beyond the immediate experience.
c. Recognise that existing controls and procedures cannot always be guaranteed to work as
expected; and learn lessons from similar organisations and businesses
The HIRA worksheet is presented as below.

Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
arrangements. The Disaster Management Plan is prepared to control and minimize the effect of
any emergency which may occur within the industrial premises affecting the employees or the
people in the surrounding; it may also affect the environment.
The disaster/emergency may arise as a natural calamity such as Floods, Earthquakes, etc. or
may be a Man-Made Disaster such as a Leakage/Spillage of Hazardous Chemicals/Gases or
Fire and Explosion.
A Disaster Management Plan is an action plan drawn to fix responsibility and actions to be
taken by various groups to contain the disaster/emergencyincident within shortest possible time
and with minimum losses to people, material, property and environment.
It is the responsibility of the establishment/industry that the disaster/emergency plan is widely
circulated for benefit / training of all the employees within the premises and the individuals
residing in the surrounding areas of the premises It is the responsibility of all the individuals in
their respective areas to ensure the success of this plan.
7.3.1.1 Objective
The main objectives of preparing the On Site / Off Site Emergency Plan are:
1. To define and assess emergencies, including risk and environmental impact assessment.
2. To establish the procedures to handle emergency situation that may arise due to spillage and
fire while handling plant & equipment.
3. To control and contain incidents within shortest possible time and to restore normalcy.
4. To safeguard employees and people in vicinity and to minimize damage/loss to property
or/and the environment.
5. To inform employees, the general public and the authority about the hazards/risks assessed,
safeguards provided, residual risk if any and the role to be played by them in the event of
emergency.
6. To be ready for 'mutual aid' if need is arised to help neighboring unit. Normal jurisdiction of
an OEP is the own premises only, but looking to the time factor in arriving the external help
or off-site plan agency; the jurisdiction must be extended outside to the extent possible in
case of emergency occurring outside.
7. To establish procedures to appraise District Administration / Civil authorities/ and mutual aid
centres etc. in order to ensure prompt relief for execution of Emergency Response Plan.
8. To secure the safe rehabilitation of affected areas and to restore normalcy.
EIA REPORT

9. To provide authoritative information to the news media.
10. To preserve records, equipments etc., and to organize investigation into the cause of the
emergency and preventive measures to stop its recurrence.
11. To ensure safety of the works before personnel re-enter and resume work.
12. To work out a plan with all provisions to handle emergencies and to provide for emergency
preparedness and the periodical rehearsal of the plan.
7.3.1.2 Definition
An emergency could be defined as any situation which presents a threat to safety of persons
or/and property. It may require outside help also.
A major emergency occurring at a work is one which may affect one or several sections of the
plant and possibly extend beyond the factory boundaries that may cause serious injuries, loss of
life, and extensive damage to property or serious disruption outside the works. It will require the
use of outside resources to handle it effectively.
Disaster is a catastrophic situation in which the day-to-day patterns of life are, in many
instances, suddenly disrupted and people are plunged into helplessness and suffering and as a
result need protection, clothing, shelter, medical and social care and other necessities of life,
such as -
1. Disasters resulting from natural phenomena like earthquakes volcanic eruptions, storm,
surges, cyclones, tropical storms, floods, landslides, forest fires and massive insect
infestation. Also in this group, violent drought which will cause a creeping disaster landing to
famine, disease and death must be included.
2. Second group includes disastrous events occasioned by man, or by man's impact upon the
environment, such as armed conflict, industrial accidents, factory fires, explosions and
escape of toxic gases or chemical substances, river pollution, mining or other structural
collapses; air, sea, rail and road transport accidents, aircraft crashes, collisions of vehicles
carrying inflammable liquids, oil spills at sea, and dam failures.
The on-site emergency plan deals with measures to prevent and control emergencies within
the factory and not affecting outside public or environment.
The off-site emergency plan will deal with measures to prevent and control emergencies
affecting public and the environment outside the premises. The manufacturer should provide the
necessary information on the nature, extent and likely effects of such incidents.

Level of disasters
The NDMA Guidelines categorize the levels of disasters, based on the ability of various
authorities to deal with them. In order to facilitate the responses and assistances to States and
Districts, the levels of disasters have been defined as follows.
1. L0 level denotes normal times which will be utilized for close monitoring, documentation,
prevention and preparatory activities. Training on search and rescue, rehearsals, evaluation
and inventory updation for response activities will be carried out during this time.
2. L1 level specifies disaster that can be managed at the District level, however, the State and
Centre will remain in readiness to provide assistance if needed.
3. L2 level disaster situations are those which require assistance and participation of State,
mobilization of its resources for management of resources.
4. L3 level disaster situation is in case of large scale disaster where the State and District
authorities have been overwhelmed and require assistance from the Central Government for
reinstating the State and District machinery as well as for rescue, relief, other response and
recovery measures. In most cases, the scale and intensity of the disaster as determined by
the concerned technical agencies like Indian meteorological department (IMD)/ Indian
National Centre for Ocean Information Services (INCOIS) are sufficient for the declaration of
L3 disaster.
7.3.1.3 Scope
The M/s. Vadivarhe Speciality Chemicals Ltd. has prepared Disaster Management Plan in order
to provide proper guidance to plant operating personnel to confidently handle any accidental
spillage or fire / explosion / bursting of vessel/tank or any natural calamity or sabotage.
With this objective comprehensive information has been gathered and analyzed on the Bulk
Drug and Intermediates handling plant and equipment which includes the hazardous properties
of materials/chemicals, fire hazards, safety appliances, safety measures incorporated in the
plant, emergency procedures and finally regarding the constitution & responsibility of Emergency
Rescue Team (Emergency Response & Management Team / Task Force).
The potential hazards which may cause emergency includes:
• Chemical Fire / Explosion in the plant or storage area

7.3.1.4 Methodology
A major emergency occurring at a plant is one that may cause serious injuries, loss of life,
extensive damage to property or environment or serious disruption inside or outside the plants.
This may demand the rescue and relief measures on a war footing to handle it effectively and
quickly. Within the high-risk technology industries, the need for well-planned measures should
be self-evident.
No matter how well a process is controlled and safeguarded by instruments and process safety
procedures, it is inevitable that there is a residual risk, which is capable of causing a variety of
emergencies.
The Disaster Management Plan describes the Organization & procedures for dealing with
potential accidents arising from the operations of M/s. Vadivarhe Speciality Chemicals Ltd.
Experiences of accidents that have occurred in various other similar plants were considered in
the preparation of DMP especially storing & handling the materials identical to this plant. This
plan will need periodic review & modification following emergency exercise, or include any new
information relating to changes to the facilities.
The Factories Act, 1948 as amended in the year 1987 under section 41B requires that every
occupier shall draw up a Disaster Management Plan and detailed disaster control measures for
his plant and make them know to the employees and to the general public living in the vicinity of
the plant.
Its objective is to reduce the severity of loss following particular hazardous incidents. At the
same time, it must be clearly understood that it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards
for working consistence with the requirements of safety and health inside the plants.
7.3.2. Information on risk evaluation preliminary hazard analysis
The DMP is needed to respond to a variety of emergencies / disasters:
i. Disasters due to emergency on account of:
a. Fire or Explosion
b. Electrical Fire
c. Spillages and Leakages
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 360
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
a. Fire or explosion: The organization is storing &handlingbulk drug & intermediates which can
ignite if exposed to source of heat / ignition. The various sources of heat / ignition include hot
work, mechanical frictions, naked flames, static electricity, hot surfaces etc.
b. Electrical Fire: The Electrical fire may be caused due to generation of static charge during
charging of materials. The other reasons for fire include use of faulty or inappropriate
electrical equipment, transformers, DG sets etc. Also dry grass is normally avoided in the
premises and it will be ensured that there is no grass (dry) at any point of time by ensuring
better housekeeping
c. Spillages and Leakages: During handling of material and plant / equipment failure causing
severe health hazard due to employees exposure to the hazardous substances. Spillages
and leakages of flammable substances may also lead to fire.
ii. Disaster due to natural calamities such as:
a. Flood
b. Landslides & Mud flow
c. Earth quake
d. Heat Wave:
a. Flood The nearest water body from the facility is Mukane Dam (approx. 3.0 km in SW
direction) and Darna Reservoir (approx. 8.0 km in SEdirection). The overflow stream of
Mukane Dam passes about 3.0 km in south direction of the facility. The heavy rainfall and
water released from the Mukane Dam may increase water level in the river bed creating flood
situation. However the flood situation in the facility area is not reported.
b. Landslides& Mud flow The basalt structure lends the district to moderate dampening effect
of seismic waves. The hills ranges also make the western and northern hill tracts of the
district amenable to landslides.
c. Earthquake: It is found that the the district falls in the seismic zone III.
d. Heat Wave: The Nashik region experienced the heat wave in the past history. Also it was
observed that the Nashik Divisions comes under vulnerable area.
(Reference: Maharashtra State Disaster Management Plan and District Disaster Management Authority,
Nashik.)
iii. Disaster due to external factors such as:
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES
Page 361
Green Circle Inc. M/s. Vadivarhe Specialty Chemicals Limited
a. Sabotage, Civil Riots or War, Terrorism: No solution can be offered to eliminate either
terrorist threats or planted bombs, but one can be well or badly prepared to cope with them
when such incidents happen. It is essential for organizations to design and implement both
good physical security and a comprehensive bomb threat response plan.
The action plan responding to an emergency situation depends very much on the level of the
emergency which, itself is defined by the consequences arising from the types of hazard
identified.
7.3.3. Disaster preparedness
This section highlights the Organization for disaster preparedness. For an industry storing /
handling flammable substances, it is essential to prepare a good effective disaster plan to control

services at right time to tackle an emergency.
It is not possible to envisage and detail every action which should be taken in emergency and to
harness the basic elements of emergency preparedness such as Gravity of emergency,
Communication of information, on-site action for process and emergency controls, Mobilization
of internal and external resources for fire and spillage etc.
Emergency Organization is set up specifying duties and responsibilities of all to make best use
of all resources and to avoid confusion while tackling the emergency.
Disaster Management Plan / On-Site Emergency Plan (Emergency Response Plan) highlights
the flow of information and co-operation among various action groups within the factory. Off-site
Emergency Plan indicates various action groups at district levels which will be engaged in case
of off-site emergency.
Emergency organization and arrangement include:
7.3.3.1 Emergency Organization
This section is devised to suggest the organization for emergency preparedness. Key personnel
to combat emergency are nominated with specific responsibilities according to set procedures

CHAPTER 9. ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
9.1. Prelude
Environmental Management is basically resource management and environmental planning is
similar to development planning. The conventional resource management and development
planning look at the issues from narrow micro-economical point of view while environmental
management views the issues from the broader prospective of long term sustainable development
option, which ensures that the environment is not desecrated. An Environmental Management Plan
is prepared for construction phase, post construction phase (commissioning and operation) and for
post project phase. The environmental management plan is prepared to minimize the impact of
atmospheric emissions, liquid effluents, solid wastes & noise generation on the surrounding
environment.
The baseline settings of different relevant environmental components in the study area are
analyzed and potential impacts on those components due to the proposed project are documented.
The impacts on environment are found to be minimal during the study; however additional
measures are documented for operation phase for further improvement of Environmental Quality in
the form of an Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
Environment, Health and Safety (EHS)
• It is of utmost concern for a company to conduct its business in a manner that will promote
the protection of the occupational Health & Safety; Welfare of its employees and others
involved in or affected by its business operations and address the environmental concerns
regarding sustainable development.
• To be a responsive and responsible corporate citizen, we shall strive to achieve an
organizational culture of Safety, Health and Environmental excellence.
• As an integral part of the company’s business performance, the company shall declare full
commitment to achieve high levels of performance in Health, Safety and Environment.
• Continual improvements in Safety, Health and Environment shall be recognized as essential
for the future success of the company.
9.2. The Environmental Management Plan
An Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is prepared to mitigate and manage various
environmental impacts identified. The EMP presents the project specific guidelines on:
• Environmental management strategies
• Spill prevention and control
EIA REPORT
FOR PROPOSED EXPANSION OF MANUFACTURING OF BULK DRUG & INTERMEDIATES

• Vegetation, wildlife and habitat protection
• Socio-economic and welfare considerations
• Risk and disaster management plan
• To prepare a checklist for statutory compliance
Due to its complexity and implications, the implementation of the EMP must be executed utilizing a
specific EMS framework. Once an EMP has been approved, it should provide the basis for
environmental considerations of all the activities carried out on the site by the appointed personnel.
With respect to the various environmental impacts identified during the EIA stage, mitigation
measures to prevent or minimize the impacts are suggested for all the environmental components.
The environmental management plan for the proposed project aims to mitigate the potentially
detrimental impacts on the environment, during an operation phase of the project. It is also
necessary that continued compliance with existing environmental regulations is ensured.
9.3. Objectives of Environmental Management Plan
While developing an EMP within the framework of an EMS, it is imperative to have clear
environmental objectives and delineate them. The key environmental management objectives for
this project are to avoid significant adverse environmental impacts and to ensure that where
impacts do occur they are mitigated. In addition, the project proponent aims to meet the following
specific objectives:
• To adopt operational methods that will limit environmental degradation.
• To protect physical environmental components such as air, water and soil.
• To improve workplace conditions for employees by reducing every kind of pollution and
improving workplace environment/atmosphere.

D. Solar Architectural Features
The proposed project will provide enough day light factors in the building to permit maximum day
light to interior to minimize overall energy consumption.
These features will also minimize the impact of climate both in summer and in winter and as a
result, the use of electricity will likely to be reduced.
E. Thermal Characteristics of Building Envelope
Focusing on the high performance energy efficient U & R values can bring down the building energy
consumption i.e. the operational cost for any commercial buildings. To evaluate the energy
performance the heat transfer coefficient (U-value) and Resistance (R) factors are to be considered
for the building.
9.6.3. Storm Water Management
Surface drainage has designed based on the maximum rainfall intensity prevalent in the area.
Storm water drains is already constructed & channelized to existing ETP. Storm water from the
entire plot is collected through network of storm drains. The dimension of the existing drain is 450
mm x 300 mm.
9.6.4. Green Belt Development
An ideal green belt always imparts scenic beauty besides providing roosting/perching place for
birds and ground surface for naturally available reptiles, other flora and fauna species, to make the
area more natural and hazard free.
Most of the existing trees will be retained at site so as to minimize adverse impact on flora and
fauna. It is proposed to add local fast growing species for landscaping. Development of green belt
with carefully selected native plant species is of prime importance due to their capacity to reduce
noise and air pollution impacts by attenuation/assimilation and for providing food and habitat for
local macro and micro fauna. This not only overcomes the problem but also enhances the beauty of
area that will attract bird and insect species and by this way ecology of the area will maintain to a
great extent. For developing the greenbelt in and around proposed project sites care need to be
taken to plant the evergreen species. The planting of evergreen species may have certain
advantages that may reduce the environmental pollution.
Preparation of Greenbelt Plan
The existing greenbelt is of a suitable width where addition saplings will be provided along the
periphery of project site area including unit complex, space between the units located within the
project, along the roads, storage areas, loading / unloading areas of products etc.
