1.3. What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing

facilities adjacent to the proposed site? (Such as open spaces,

community facilities, details of the existing land use, and disturbance to

the local ecology).

Although it is a construction activity, its impact on air quality, water quality,

noise and soil will not be notable. As a matter of fact this activity will have

positive impact on socio-economic culture of people residing in the vicinity of

the proposed area. There will not be any disturbance to the local ecology as

this is the expansion project & selected area for the construction is a

undeveloped land.

The project site has plain land. The whole area will be occupied by

vegetation. The plantations, which would be grown in the commercial area,

will be helpful in increasing green cover of the area. Proposed project will

require manpower during construction phase and operational phase thereby

creating job opportunities. Local skilled and unskilled laborers will have an

opportunity for employment directly or indirectly. There will be additional

employment for the poor strata of society by way of domestic helpers, drivers,

cleaners etc.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------28

Due to the proposed project, facilities are likely to grow in line with the

development. As during the construction and operational phases of the

project a workforce which will be needed which will be including both skilled

and unskilled people. The introduction of workers from areas outside the

region, could introduce a potential effect on the local culture, habits and

economics.

1.4. Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion,

subsidence & instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis,

vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity, etc may be given).

A. Details of Soil quality and slope

Generally, soil types found in Pune district are black, copper, red and paddy

soil. Soil blends of variable proportions are modified by sand, gravel, lime

salts and other ingredients. Soil erosion is acute in these soils because of the

sloppy nature of lands mostly unprotected by natural vegetation due to over

grazing.

Samples were collected within a radius of 10 Km in the study area. Soil

samples collected and were analyzed for pH, moisture content, water holding

capacity, organic matter, ammonia nitrogen, potassium, phosphorous,

Magnesium as Mg, Chlorides as Cl-, Sulphates as SO4--using standard

methods of Association of Official Agricultural Chemist. Results of analysis

are presented in Annexure 13.

Land at the project site is tableland and has no major slopes.

(Refer Annexure 5 - Contour map)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------29

The geology of the Pune consists of Deccan traps with inter-trapped beds.

The volcanic lava flows are spread out in the forms Horizontal sheets or beds.

Pune is a plateau city situated near the western margin of the deccan plateau.

The main system of hills is Sahyadri, which run south in the western portion of

the district. Pune is situated at latitude of 18o31’ N and longitude

73o51’east.Mean elevation of the site is 560 meters

Geology of the location includes Hard rock, weathered basalt. Moderately

fractured rock (Hard Murum), weathered rock.

B. Vulnerability to Seismicity and precautions:

As per the Seismic Zoning Map of India (given in Enclosures) Pune region

falls under Zone- 3. Stability Certificate, as per prevalent IS Code will be

obtained for these buildings from registered Consulting Structural Engineer

considering the seismic forces and wind forces etc.

C. Vulnerability to Subsistence

Ground level of the plot is plain land. Backfilling in the vicinity of site is

included in the project plan in order to increase the ground level of the project.

Hence, subsistence is not expected.

1.5. Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give

details on a contour map showing the natural drainage near the

proposed project site)

Not Applicable.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------30

1.6. What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity

cutting, filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of

earthwork involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc.)

During construction total earthwork involved 40,000 cum.

1.7. Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc during the

construction period.

Water Requirement during Construction Phase:

Total water requirement during construction phase shall be approximately 125

KLD approximately for construction as well as domestic use for the workers

working /dwelling on the site. This water will be made available from tankers

Rain Water Harvesting:

In the Operation Phase the daily water requirement of 1046 KLD. Per day

would reduce availability of the Municipal water supply system. It is

recommended that project proponent should install scientifically designed

Rain Water Harvesting System.

Such rainwater harvesting system should have two-fold objective:

1) To utilize rain water available on the plot in direct way or indirect

way to reduce the load on water supply system.

2) To minimize the storm water drainage load to avoid water logging

locally as well as on larger scale.

Rainwater Harvesting facilities will be created at the project site in the form of

aquifer recharge. However, water requirement for the project will not be met

from groundwater.

Details of facilities created are as follows:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------36

STORM WATER DRAINAGE:

Storm water from roof will be collected in khurras/gutters and then connected

to rain water down take through rigid PVC down take pipes.

Down take pipes will run at shaft to the ground floor from there it will be

connected to the network of collection chambers and overflow will be

connected to nearest storm water drain within the property through hume

pipes.

The external storm water drain will be connected to a large water body, which

acts as a percolation pond & the overflow if any will be finally connected to

storm water drain of MIDC.

Ground landscape drainage will be through Hume pipes to the nearest

collection chamber.

Ground level road & open parking area will be drained through storm water

drains.

RAIN WATER HARVESTING: TERRACE

• Area of Terrace = 12,941 Sq.m.

• Maximum expected flow rate of rainfall in collection area @ 50mm/hr.

• Volume of water for 15 minutes rainfall= 143 m3 (at 90 % efficiency)

• Suggested storage sump for storing &Re-Use = 2 Nos. of 200 m3 SUMPS.

SURFACE RAIN WATER HARVESTING/ STORM WATER DATA FOR AREA OF

EXPANSION ( SDB4 & SDB5)

o Average expected rainfall in collection area @ 50mm/hr.

o Volume of water for 15 minutes rainfall = 215 m3 (At 90 % efficiency)


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------37

o NOTE: As the Strata is highly disintegrated lateritic rock, there is almost no

absorbency.

Therefore, towards the front of the property we have Created a large pond of

approximate 3,000 CUM, (Percolation Pond).Where in all the external storm

water is led stored and only the overflow if any led to the external storm

water.

(Refer Annexure 11: Storm Water Drainage Plan)

2.8. What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the

proposed project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as

qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long term

The proposed project will not have any adverse impact on the flora or fauna.

5. AIR ENVIRONMENT

5.1. Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in

heat islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with

predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the

increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions)

As this will be an Info Tech park, air pollution is not expected to be a major

concern. There will not be notable increase in pollution therefore dispersion

model calculations are not done. But the data on Ambient Air Quality have

been collected during the study period.

Air quality is represented generally in terms of concentration of Suspended

Particulate Matter, Sulphur Dioxide and Oxides of Nitrogen and Carbon


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------46

Monoxide, lead and Ammonia. A wide variety of sources contribute SPM in

ambient air. Some of them are construction activities, vehicular emissions,

industrial process emissions, dust storms etc.

It is generally observed that SPM levels are higher in dry weather i.e. during

summer and winter seasons. Dust storms generally do not occur. Hence SPM

concentrations are within permissible limit.

It is necessary to monitor the ambient air quality in terms of above said

parameters to establish the background air quality scenario and assess the

impact of construction on the scenario before undertaking any activity.

Ambient air motoring was carried out of 4 stations within core and buffer

zones of the proposed site during December 2007 to February 2008 to

representing winter season.

In view of the revision of national Ambient Air Quality Standards by Central

Pollution Control Board ambient air quality stations were identified and

monitored with high volume sampling apparatus. The sampling locations are

project site, Hinjewadi, Punawale & Bhoirwadi.

The plant site was chosen as the station located near the center of the project

area and sampling stations were located in buffer zone situated at an angle of

30 degrees with respect to the central station.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------47

At each station, ambient air samples monitored for 24-hour duration were

collected at a frequency of every day and analyzed for Suspended Particulate

Matter, Sulphur dioxide and Oxides of Nitrogen, Carbon Monoxide, Lead and

Ammonia.

(Refer Annex 13: Baseline Status of Air Quality)

Concentrations of Suspended Particulate Matter monitored were in the range

of 120 to 130 as against Maharashtra Pollution Control Board standards of

200 g /cu.m. Respirable Suspended Particulate Matter (RSPM) were in the

range of 75 to 90 g /cu.m.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------48

5.2. What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or

other hazardous gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological

parameters.

During construction phase, Suspended Particulate Matter, dust, will be the

main pollutant, which could be generated from site development activities.

Concentration of SO2, NO2 and CO may rise a little due to traffic. Proper

upkeep and maintenance of vehicles, sprinkling of water on roads and

construction site and providing sufficient vegetation all around the plant site

are some of the measures that would reduce the impact during construction

phase.

It is generally observed that SPM levels are higher in dry weather i.e. during

summer and winter seasons. Pollutant load of the atmosphere is generally

low during monsoon as the gaseous pollutants tend to dissolve and

particulate pollutants get adsorbed forming aerosols.

Fog formation aggravates the problem as rate of dispersion of pollutants

reduces. High wind velocity is helpful for dispersion of pollutants. Higher

temperature and pressure in the troposphere is helpful for better dispersion of

pollutants. In general, effective dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere

depends primarily on the degree of stability of the atmosphere and on its

turbulent structure.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------49

5.3. Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish

details of the present level of transport infrastructure and measures

proposed for improvement including the traffic management at the entry

& exit to the project site.

Multilevel Car parking will be provided.

There is provision for 1300 four-wheelers & 1500 two wheelers parking.

100 buses for pick up and drop.

Measures proposed for improvement including traffic management at the

entry and exit to the project site are:

Maintaining flow of traffic for approach roads

Entry and Exit points carefully placed so as not to disturb this flow

One way traffic inside the complex for comfortable movement of vehicles

and reduction in possibility of congestion

Easy movement of fire tender in and around the complex ensuring

accessibility to every building.

During entry time, PUC checked vehicles would be allowed only.

5.4. Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle

tracks, pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc., with areas under each

category.

Area under roads for the total project will be 26,200.32 sqm for 10 & 12 m

wide road while road area under 6 mt width will be 9821 sqm. Proposed plan

has provision for Bicycle tracks, pedestrian pathways and footpaths.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------50

5.5. Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give

details of the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the

above.

The proposed activity being an InfoTech park will not cause a notable

increase in the noise and vibration during operation. However, use of heavy

machinery is inevitable during construction phase of the project. Sources of

noise Pollution during construction phase are machinery like Earthmoving

Machinery (Excavators), Concrete Pumps, Batching Plant, Hoist Crane, Alfa

Crane, Compressors and transportation materials.

Incremental increase in baseline noise levels due to commercial IT complex

will not exceed 65 dBA. The post project noise levels at the nearest habitation

will be less than the stipulated standards of CPCB.

Noise has various adverse effects on workers and their activities. The first

and foremost effect of noise on workers exposed to high noise level over a

long period of severe impulsive noise of short duration is ‘Loss of Hearing’.

This effect is either temporary or permanent in nature depending upon the

length and severity of noise exposure.

Other effects of noise are such as blood pressure, cardiovascular problems

and ulcers. Some studies also point to noise related learning difficulties,

reduced work efficiency, irritation, fatigue, increased accidents and errors and

socially undesirable behavior.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------51

Mitigative measures:

The project proponents have agreed to take precautions to control noise

pollution as mentioned under:

• Use of equipment generating noise of not greater than 90 db (A).

• High noise generating construction activities would be carried out only

during daytime. Also, adequate parking space will be provided to avoid

crowding and noise pollution

• Installation, use and maintenance of mufflers on equipment.

• Workers working near high noise construction machinery would be

supplied with ear muffs/ear plugs.

5.6. What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels &

vibration in & ambient air quality around the project site? Provide

details.

During Construction Phase:

Sources of noise Pollution during construction phase are machinery like

Earthmoving Machinery (Excavators), Concrete Pumps, Batching Plant, Hoist

Crane, Alfa Crane, Compressors and transportation materials.

These Machineries will be used only during daytime.

During Operation Phase:

Sources of Noise Pollution is D.G.Sets

The noise would be created due to standby D.G. sets.

Canopies will be provided to these mechanical devices to reduce noise and

vibration. There will not be any considerable impact on the ambient air quality


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------52

around the project site as CPCB approved DG sets along with acoustic room

will be developed and plantations will be provided.

7. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS

7.1. Will the proposal result in any changes to the demographic structure of

local population? Provide the details.

By analyzing the socio-economic baseline in the context of the proposed

project, the impacts of the project could be variable in nature. The rapid socio-


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------53

economic impact assessment study carried out incorporating primary data

collected for the project area and also available secondary data.

During construction 300 workers will be provided temporary shelters at the

site. After completion of the project, there will be influx of 10,037 people in the

area. The population of the area is likely to increase.

(Refer Annexure 15:Census data )

7.2. Give details of the existing social infrastructure around the proposed

project.

Proposed Expansion project of Wipro Ltd. is coming up at Hinjewadi, which is

4 km from the Pune Bangalore National Highway in Taluka Mulshi of Pune

District.

Nearest Distances from Proposed site:

1) Railway Station( Akurdi) - 17 Km

2) Pune Airport- 45 Km

(Refer Annexure –15: Census Data)

7.3. Will the project cause adverse effects on local communities, disturbance

to sacred sites or other cultural values? What are the safeguards

proposed?

It could be seen that the over all impact on Socio-Economic Environment is

positive and permanent in nature. The impacts on socio-economic

environment due to the proposed project are listed below:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------54

Positive Aspects of the Projects are as follows

Increase in Income of project village and neighboring villages, thus

reduction in poverty.

Decrease in unemployment (through direct and indirect employment)

Increase in educational facilities and educational level due to further

development.

Improvement in transport, communication facilities.

Improvement in lifestyle and social status, etc.

Increase in revenue generation.

Reduction in below poverty line families.

Due to the proposed project, facilities are likely to grow in line with the

development.

Possible sources of income for this community are direct like Construction

and various job works in IT parks.

Some indirect activities will also increase economic activity like Canteen,

Lodging, Maintenance services and other service industries. For Men job

works will be Driving (heavy and light vehicle), Mechanics & Repairs,

Electrician, Computer operator, Welding & Fitting, Plumbing, Laundry,

Hotel Management & Catering, Typing & Photocopying, Packaging,

Salesmen, Security men, Transportation. For women Computer

Operation, Assembling parts, Hotel Management & Catering, Typing &

Photocopying, Tailoring, knitting and embroidery, Packaging, Cleaning

and household work, Baby Sitting (Crèche), Laundry etc.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------55

As during the construction and operational phases of the project a

workforce will be needed including both skilled and unskilled people. The

introduction of workers from areas outside the region, could introduce a

potential effect on the local culture, habits and economics. Those effects

have both positive and negative elements and will be managed by the

project proponents and developers. The construction phase induces

employment opportunities for the local people. About 400 persons will be

employed during peak period.

8 BUILDING MATERIALS

8.1. May involve the use of building materials with high-embodied energy.

Are the construction materials produced with energy efficient

processes? (Give details of energy conservation measures in the

selection of building materials and their energy efficiency)

Conventional construction materials used from nearest source to minimize

energy consumption for transportation.

8.2. Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in

pollution, noise & public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize

the impacts?

During construction phase, sources of noise pollution will be due to operation

of machinery like Earthmoving Machinery (Excavator), Concrete Pumps,

Batching Plant, Hoist Crane, Alfa Crane etc. as well as transportation

vehicles. This will cause nuisance to the occupants of the nearby area. The

project proponents have agreed to take precautions to control noise pollution

as mentioned under:


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------56

• Use of equipment generating noise of not greater than 90 db(A).

• High noise generating construction activities would be carried out only

during daytime.

• Installation, use and maintenance of mufflers on equipment.

• Workers working near high noise construction machinery would be supplied

with ear muffs/ear plugs.

(Refer Annexure 14- Baseline Status of Noise Quality)

8.3. Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of

savings achieved?

Solid waste that would be generated due to excavation will be in the form of

rubble and soil. This soil and rubble would be used for leveling of ground and

recreational area. Construction debris will be reused for backfilling of roads

and other construction.

8.4. Give details of the methods of collection, segregation & disposal of the

garbage generated during the operation phases of the project.

Solid waste will be generated in the campus is domestic type having source

separated dry and wet components. As far as possible the dry waste like

paper, cardboard boxes, thermocol packing, plastics etc. shall be sent to

PMC for recycling purpose. However, wet waste, which is biodegradable,

shall be converted to bio-compost by adopting following aerobic composting

method. The quantity of biodegradable waste generated is about 650 kg per

day. The ‘In vessel process’ will be used for composting of solid waste.


-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------57

Total Population –10,037 persons

Quantity of solid waste = 3011 kg/day

Quantity of wet waste – 1204.4Kg/day

(50 Kg additional wet wastes shall be accounted by trees and landscape

trimming etc.

Net Quantity of Wet Waste – 1254.4 Kg/day

Quantity of dry waste – 1806 Kg/day

A ‘In vessel process’ is based on the following principles.

(1) Valuable resources must be recovered & reused / recycled.

(2) Biodegradable matter must be composted.

(3) Minimize the material to be disposed off in a landfill.

B Procedure to be followed

1. The segregated wet MSW arrives on site.

2. MSW is screened using vibro sieve.

3. Manual Segregation is done.

4. Non-biodegradable matters if any is separated for reuse &
