8. Baseline environmental data – Air quality, Surface and Ground water quality, Soil characteristic,

Flora and Fauna, Socio-Economic condition of the nearby population.

S. No. Parameters Baseline Status

1. Ambient Air Quality

i. PM10 59.1 – 86.2 µg/m3

ii. PM2.5 32.1 – 48.8 µg/m3

iii. SO2 10.4 – 16.7 µg/m3

iv. NOx 15.8 - 25.1 µg/m3

Based on comparison study of results for tested parameters with NAAQS, it is interpreted that ambient air

quality of studied locations is good as all the results of studied parameter are well within the limit. This

interpretation relate to the test data obtained during survey for particular locations only. There is very less

no. of industry and numbers of investors have planned to install the industries, considering the probable

impact due to upcoming industries, it is suggested that proper air pollution control measures must be

adopted by the industry.

2. Noise Level Monitoring

i. Day Time (06:00 AM to 10:00 PM) 44.6 – 81.2 dB (A)

ii. Night Time (10:00 PM to 06:00 AM) 39.7-76.4 dB (A)

Based on noise level data obtained during the survey for residential area and industrial area, it is

interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking towards the

increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise reducing devices at

noise generating sources and generate public awareness.

3. Soil Quality and Characteristics

i. pH 7.54 – 7.80

ii. Organic Carbon (%) 0.2 – 0.5%

iii. Total Nitrogen 386.2 – 965.5 kg/ha

iv. Total Phosphorous 241.9- 387.6 kg/ha

v. Exchangeable Calcium 24.8 – 27.4 mg/100g

vi. Exchangeable Magnesium 5.3 – 8.8 mg/100g

Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal to saline from salinity view point and non-

sodic as ESP is < 15 at the site. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and high in

potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the safe limits. However, for successful

greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic manure (50 tons/ha) and double the quantity of

recommended doses of N, and P and half the dose of K fertilizers should be applied. The soil at the project

site requires amelioration. Apply acid forming amendments like sulphur/iron pyrite for removal of excess

sodium from the exchange complex with provision of adequate drainage. The soil should be periodically

monitored for EC, pH and ESP.

4. Ground Water

i. pH 7.10 - 7.82

ii. TDS 1012 – 4718 mg/L

iii. Total Hardness 312 – 1355 mg/L

iv. Total Alkalinity 358 – 755 mg/L

v. Chloride 385 – 2399 mg/L

vi. Total Coliform Absent

Eco Chem Sales & Services, Surat Doc. No: 2017_ECSS_EIAI2_1700019 ix


Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that water qualities of

studied locations meet with the drinking water standards as per IS 10500: 2012 except Vilayat and Ankot

village and these water sources can be used in drinking, washing, bathing and irrigation purpose. Total

Hardness and Chloride in the water sample for Vilayat and Ankot village do not confirm the norms. Water

sample of Vilayat and Ankot village should not be used in drinking but it can be used in all other domestic

purposes. These interpretations relate to the sample tested for particular location only. To save the ground

water from contamination and improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging

may be helpful.

5. Surface Water

i. pH 7.01 - 7.94

ii. TDS 262 – 962 mg/L

iii. TSS 6 – 12 mg/L

iv. DO 4.6– 5.0 mg/L

v. BOD 4 – 8 mg/L

Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not meet with

drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been found more than

expected value which indicates that water has been contaminated with organic matter. It may be due to

directly or indirectly contamination with sewage and effluent. This water should not be directly used in

drinking purpose but it can be used in drinking after conventional treatment followed by disinfection. This

water can be used in irrigation and other domestic purposes.

6. Ecology and Biodiversity

The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were Cattle Egret, Intermediate Egret, Black-winged

Stilt, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Spotted Dove, Chestnut-headed Bee-

eater, Bank Myna and Common Myna. All the birds are included in schedule IV. Among the reptiles

Oriental garden lizard was common. Among mammals Black rat was common. There is a good population

of schedule-II species like Herpestes edwardsi (Indian grey mongoose) and Naja naja (Indian cobra) as

food chain is interlinked in the biological environment. Dominant flora of the study region is Prosopis

juliflora and acacia species. Area is not rich with floral diversity. Rosa (Rose), Gossypium (Cotton) and

Cajanus cajan (Tur) are majorly cultivated by the farmers of the majority villages. Natural vegetation of

study area is in degraded condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No endangered or

threatened species were observed during the survey.

7. Socio Economic

Literacy rate of the study region is from 57.04% to 82.55%. On the basis of survey for literacy rate data it is

interpreted that there is need to promote educate more and more people. Almost all the villages have more

than 50 % people as non-workers.

9. Identification of hazardous in handling processing and storage of hazardous material and safety

system provided to mitigate the risk.

After identifying hazards in handling processing and storage of hazardous material both Qualitative and

Quantitative risk has been analyzed. Mitigation measures like periodical training on fire drill and using SCBA,

conducting emergency response drill on yearly basis, training drivers for transportation of hazardous goods,

providing fire extinguishers etc.

10. Likely impact of the project on Air, Water, Land, Flora-fauna nearby population.

1 INTRODUCTION

1.0 PRELUDE

Industrialization is a key factor in the development of nations worldwide. Like every movement,

industrialization is followed by both positive and negative effects. With the ever growing economies

and the need and greed for more, the doctrine of Sustainable Development becomes the most

relevant principle in today's times. The doctrine of Sustainable Development has most commonly

been defined as development that meets the needs of the present, without compromising the ability

of future generations to meet their own needs. The principle of Sustainable Development attempts

to maintain a balance between development and the environment. India being a growing economy

has seen rampant industrialization and development in recent past, which resulted in adverse

impact on the environment. EIA studies are very important for any developmental activity to be

taken into consideration to avoid adverse impacts and to ensure long-term benefits has led to the

concept of sustainability.

EIA study is an essential tool to help to the decision maker for approving the project about the

impact on local and remote Environment, societal benefits and losses if any, related to development

in a particular region. Chemical fertilizers unit are important for the nation as well as for agriculture.

The need to avoid adverse impacts and to ensure long-term benefits has led to the concept of

sustainability. This has become accepted as an essential feature of development for increased well-

being and greater equity in fulfilling basic needs is to be met for future generations. Mankind, as it is

developed today, cannot live without taking up developmental activities for the food, security and

other needs. Consequently, there is a need to harmonize developmental activities with the

environmental concerns. An Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) may be defined as:

EIA is an assessment of the possible impact—positive or negative—that a proposed or expansion

project may have on the environment, together consisting of the natural, social and economic

aspects. The purpose of the assessment is to ensure that decision makers to consider the

environmental impacts along with mitigation measures when deciding whether to proceed with a

project or not. EIA has three main functions:

To predict problems (Impact Assessment),

To find ways to avoid them (Mitigation Measures),

To enhance positive impacts (Environmental Management Plan).

It is required that every project proponent must take Environmental Clearance from Ministry of

Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), New Delhi/SEIAA before starting up any

project as per EIA legislation. The environmental clearance is also mandatory for the expansion,

modernization; this is applicable as per the MoEF&CC guidelines and EIA notifications 2006 and

amended from time to time.

ITS IMPORTANCE TO THE COUNTRY, REGION

1.3.1 Nature of the Project

The proposed greenfield project falls under Category-A, under section 5(a) as per the EIA

Notification, dated 14th September 2006 and its amendments thereafter.

1.3.2 Size of the Project

Total land requirement for the proposed project will be 17,380.0 m2 or 1.738 Ha located at Saykha

Industrial estate. Estimated cost of this project will be about Rs.38.01 Crores. The anticipated

capital expenditure for the pollution control measures is about Rs. 1.5 Crores.

1.3.3 Location of the project

Kisan Shakti Fertilizers & Pesticides Pvt. Ltd decided to set an industrial plant at Plot No. C-190

&191, Saykha Industrial Estate, Tal-Vagra, Dist–Bharuch of Gujarat state for development of

proposed industrial plant, company has procured 17380.0 m2 area from GIDC authority. The

topography of the proposed plant site is plain with a general elevation of about 352 above MSL.

Proposed project coordinate is as under:

Latitude : 210 46‘10.44‘‘ N

Longitude : 720 49‘47.01‖ E

1.3.4 Need and Justification

Availability of nutrient phosphate is very low in India, we have to depend on import of phosphatic

fertilizers like Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) thus to save foreign currency and meet the

requirement of phosphate nutrient this project is very much helpful for farmers using high and low

nutrient value fertilizers

Justification of the proposed project is mentioned as under:

It provides a potential growth opportunity,

Raw materials are easily availability of from domestic market,

It will increase the overall export and thus increase the foreign revenue,

Proposed products have very good sale potential in local markets.

1.3.5 Importance of the Project

Since agriculture is a very important sector it goes without saying that the fertilizer industry is one

which the Indian economy cannot do without. The fertilizer industry in India is extremely vital as it

manufactures some of the most important raw materials required for crop production. The primary

objective of this industry is to ensure the inflow of both primary and secondary elements required

for crop production in the desirable quantities.

The importance of fertilizer industry can be attributed because of the following reasons:

In India, over 50% of the land is under agriculture, employing 60% of the population and

contributing to 15% of the GDP. With such excess dependency of agriculture, importance of

fertilizer comes naturally.

Productivity Challenge: With the population of 1.25 billion, India‘s food security requires high

agricultural productivity and thus need for fertilizer arise.

Soil Fertility Issue: With such large population to support, and limited land availability has put

soil fertility to test, and thus dependency over fertilizer has increased.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. 1.3.6 Demand and Supply gap

Single super phosphate is very cheap source of phosphatic fertilizers. It has high acceptance

among the low budget dry farming like oilseed, cereals and also for cash crop like sugar cane,

banana etc. It also contains secondary nutrients like Sulphur and calcium. In case of triple super

phosphate, it provides high qty of ―p‖ i.e. 46% this p is equivalent to available phosphate in DAP

fertilizer with low cost.so these fertilizer will help to reduce burden on importing fertilizers from

other countries. Since very high requirement in country may restrict the export. But Srilanka,

Bangladesh has consumption of 14.5% super phosphate but logistically it cost at higher side, from

production point

2 PROJECT DESCRIPTION

2.0 GENERAL

The aim of this chapter is to discuss about type, need, location, size or magnitude of project,

operational activities, technology for manufacturing chemical fertilizers to be used and other related

activities. It also provides a condensed description of the aspects, which are likely to cause

environmental damages to the surrounding environment.

2.1 TYPE OF PROJECT AND CAPACITY

Proposed Green field project to be developed by Kisan Shakti Fertilizers & Pesticides Pvt. Ltd. in

Saykha Industrial Estate. All the industrial infrastructure facility is being available at GIDC to

support proposed development. The proposal unit Kisan Shakti Fertilizers & Pesticide is being run

by Mr. Sagar Chidrawar. The unit will have established for manufacturing of Phosphoric Acid,

Single Super Phosphate and Triple Super Phosphate. Proposed project is fall under 5(a) category

―A‖ of EIA notification – 2006 and amendments thereafter. Project proponent proposes to

manufacture chemical Fertilizer with production capacity of 1,90,000 TPA.

2.2 NEED OF THE PROJECT

The increasing number in population means higher demand for food. Threats in agricultural

production such as pests, loss of soil fertility and lack of nutrients may result in low percentage of

plants to harvest. If these problems are not addressed, there would not be enough crops which

compose a big fraction of our food supply to sustain the needs of the people. Hence, the

importance of using chemical fertilizers rises. Apart from pests, one big problem of agriculture is

the soil condition. Drought and lack of water are some of the issues in crop production. Dry farms

tend to create very low and uncertain yields. Changes in weather like uneven distribution of rainfall

or long breaks of rainy season result to either excessive amount of rainfall or deficiency in water

when it is highly needed. Chemical Fertilizers help plants to overcome these situations by

increasing their capacity to hold more water and improve the rooting depth. Fertilizers do not only

assist in increasing yields and promoting healthy growth of plants but also in their development.

Phosphorus substance in fertilizers aids in the faster formation of seeds and root development.

Availability of nutrient phosphate is very low in India, we have to depend on import of phosphatic

fertilizers like Di-ammonium phosphate (DAP) thus to save foreign currency and meet the

requirement of phosphate nutrient this project is very much helpful for farmers using high and low

nutrient value fertilizers

2.3 LOCATION OF THE PROJECT

2.7.5 Manufacturing Process

PHOSPHORIC ACID

Principle of the Process:

The basic chemistry of the wet process is exceedingly simple. The tri-calcium phosphate in the

phosphate rock is converted by reaction with concentrated sulphuric acid into phosphoric acid and

the insoluble salt calcium sulphate.

Ca3 (PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 2H3PO4 + 3CaSO4

The insoluble calcium sulphate is then separated from the phosphoric acid, most usually by filtration.

The reaction between phosphate rock and sulphuric acid is self-limiting because an insoluble layer of

calcium sulphate forms on the surface of the particles of the rock. This problem is kept to a minimum

by initially keeping the rock in contact with re-circulated phosphoric acid to convert it as far as

possible to the soluble mono-calcium phosphate and then precipitating calcium sulphate with

sulphuric acid.

Ca3(PO4)2 + 4H3PO4 3Ca(H2PO4)2

Ca(H2PO4)2 + 3H2SO4 3CaSO4 + 6H3PO4

Calcium sulphate exists in a number of different crystal forms depending particularly on the

prevailing conditions of temperature, P2O5 concentration and free sulphate content.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. a. Rock Phosphate Storage and Handling Section

Ground rock is transported to a silo by a bucket elevator. From the silo, slide gate valve and

rotary valve transport the rock to belt conveyor. It is then transported to bucket elevator from

which it enters the transit bin. A belt conveyor feeds rock to the reactor. Cyclone, bag filter

and de-dusting fan are provided for entrapment of phosphate particles from air.

b. Reaction Section

Ground rock phosphate is fed to the reactor. Rock feed rate is maintained using a weigh

band feeder. Rock reacts with ratio controlled quantity of H2SO4 to form Phosphoric acid and

byproduct Gypsum. Filter wash liquor with low levels of phosphoric acid (RPA) is also

recycled to the reactor. The Reaction mass flows through the reactor by underflow or

overflow channels. From reactor compartment 3 the slurry is pumped to a flash cooler

before entering reactor compartment 4. In the flash cooler heat is removed to maintain

reaction temperature to ensure di-hydrate gypsum is produced. The evaporated vapors are

condensed before gas scrubbing section. Overflow from the last section of the reactor

enters the digestion tank. Slurry pump is used to feed slurry from the digestion tank to belt

filter for gypsum separation from weak phosphoric acid product.

c. Gas Scrubbing Section

Waste gases from reactor, digester and filter are sent to gas scrubber through their

respective gas ducts. Waste water from transit water tank through pump is discharged to the

top most inlet nozzle of the gas scrubber. Process water is fed to the gas scrubber

circulation tank. Waste water enters the circulation through an outlet in the scrubber. Part of

the scrubbing liquid is sent to the gas ducts, and pre-condenser while remaining scrubbing

liquid is re-circulated to the scrubber through spray nozzles. The gases after being scrubbed

are discharged to the atmosphere through blowing fan and gas stack.

d. Concentration Section

The concentration section concentrates WPA (28%) to CPA 52%.The following main steps

are involved in the continuous concentration of Weak Phosphoric Acid.

Weak Phosphoric Acid (28 – 30% P2O5) is mixed with concentrated acid (48 – 50%

P2O5) to ensure an easy settling of Total Dissolved Solids in the weak acid.

The reduced TDS acid is injected into a high flow rate recirculation loop of a forced

circulation evaporation set up. The mixed material is flashed in a flash chamber.

The re-circulated material is fed to a shell and tube exchanger with graphite tubes.

Control parameters ensure that Δt across the heat exchanger is kept low to avoid

solids precipitation.

The vapors from the flash chamber are led to a condenser to trap all condensable and

any acid carryover. Although a mist eliminator will be mounted on the system, the

water is slightly acidic during run. Hence the cooling tower is specifically capable of

working on acidic water.

SSP/TSP

The manufacturing process involves reaction of finely ground Rock Phosphate (85% passing through

200 mesh & 95% through 100 mesh) with 75% Phosphoric acid (54% P2O5 Concentration) for TSP

and with 98% Sulphuric acid for SSP. Brief process description is summarized below for the various

sections of the plant.

A. TSP / SSP SECTION SSP Ground rock phosphate of 30-35% P2O5 content is mixed with sulphuric acid in a specially designed

mixer. The reaction proceeds in two steps. First, the sulphuric acid reacts with part of the rock

forming phosphoric acid. Then the phosphoric acid formed reacts with more rock forming mono


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. calcium phosphate. The two reactions take place concurrently but the first stage is completed rapidly

while the second stage continues for several days or weeks. The fluid material from the mixer goes

to a den where it solidifies. The solidification results from continued reaction and crystallization of

mono calcium phosphate. The superphosphate is excavated from the den after 30 minutes to four

hours. At this time, the superphosphate is still somewhat plastic and the temperature is around

100°C. This product is removed from the den and conveyed to storage for final curing which requires

2-6 weeks depending on the nature and proportion of raw material and condition of manufacture.

The cured product is reclaimed, milled, screened and either bagged for marketing or sent for

granulation.

Ca3 (PO4)2 + 2H2SO4 + H2O Ca (H2PO4)2 + 2CaSO4

In most of the SSP plants, fluorine compounds generated in the mixer/dryer is recovered by

scrubbing with water or dilutes alkali as hydro-fluorosilicic acid and is recycled back to the mixer

which reduces the sulphuric acid consumption

TSP

The figure 2.4 shows the block flow diagram for manufacturing of triple superphosphate. This type of

fertilizers containing 45- 46 % of available P2O5. Triple superphosphate is manufactured by the

action of phosphoric acid on phosphate rock. The main reaction is:

CaF2. 3Ca3 (PO4)2 + 14H3PO4 → 10Ca (H2PO4)2 + 2HF ↑

A process similar to single superphosphate production is used, in which pulverized phosphate rock is

mixed with phosphoric acid in a two-stage reactor. The resultant slurry is sprayed into the granulator.

The slurry is sprayed into the drum granulation co-current with flue gases of fired fuel (natural gas or

fuel oil and air). The product is screened and off-size is recycled back to the granulator. The on-size

product is cooled and stored ready for being bagged. The exhaust gases from the reactor, granulator

and cooler are scrubbed to remove fluoric compounds

Manufacturing Process of SSP/TSP:

a. Rock Phosphate Grinding Section: Ungrounded Rock Phosphate is fed to a ball mill by a

crane and conveyors/ bucket elevators to get ground rock of quality 85% passing through

200 mesh and 95% through 100 mesh. The ground rock is then transported to a silo for

storage. The ground rock from silo is then transferred to ground rock feed hopper which is

equipped with a rotary valve for material movement to a weigh band feeder. From the weigh

band feeder the rock is fed to a pre-mixer for SSP and directly fed to reactor for TSP

production. The entire section is provided with an integral dust extraction system.

b. Reaction and Fluorine Recovery Section: To produce powdered SSP, rock phosphate &

Scrubber Liquor (recycled from the scrubbing section) are fed to pre-mixer and further this

wetted rock is fed to reactor. Sulphuric acid (98% conc.) is first diluted with process water in

graphite/equivalent diluter and is then fed in the main mixer in a controlled manner with the

aid of ratio controllers, such that the dosage of Sulphuric acid is optimum. To produce

powdered TSP, 74.52% Phosphoric acid is fed directly to reactor with small quantity of

Sulphuric acid.

i. Reactor: The mixer is a specially designed vertical turbine reactor. The mixer operates

with an agitator at a high speed of 250 rpm and with low residence time. Temperature

during reaction would be in the range of 130-135°C for SSP reaction & 85°C for TSP

reaction. The MOC of the mixer will be CS with special abrasion resistant resin coating

and MOC for agitator will be SS904L with ceramic coating. From the mixer, the solid mass

is fed to a Belt Den.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. ii. Den: The belt den has a special rubber belt driven by a variable speed drive. The

residence time in the den is 7-10 minutes, and this allows the SSP / TSP matrix ex-reactor

to be only 350mm high. The low height avoids compaction of the mass, allowing free air

movement through the reaction mass aiding reaction and reducing subsequent curing time

as well. The den has a special rubber hood connecting the duct body to the scrubber

assembly. Sizing is done to ensure minimum powder carry over in the exhaust fumes. The

product is removed by a reversible conveyor ex-den and transported for curing. The

acidulation reaction releases fluorine based gases like HF and SiF4. These gases are

scrubbed in a 3 stage venture scrubber.

iii. Scrubber: The scrubber assembly comprises of 3 units of venturi contact units along with

separator towers. The scrubbing liquor is re-circulated by high capacity pumps and is

partially moving in a counter current backward flow. All contact parts are of PP/FRP resin

construction. A demister is installed on the last tower prior to vapour exit to ensure no mist

carryover. The fluosilicic acid is recycled in the mixer.

c. Storage and Curing: The TSP / SSP is stored in piles for curing which require about 1

week, depending upon the raw material quality, proportion and manufacturing conditions.

The piles are turned around 3- 4 times to aid the curing process. During curing free

acidity, un-reacted rock and moisture decrease while water soluble P2O5 increases.

B. GRANULAR SECTION (TSP/SSP): The powdered TSP/ SSP ex-den is further fed to

Granulation & Drying section to produce granulated TSP / SSP.

a. Granulation Section: Powdered TSP/SSP is fed to Granulator via inlet chute. Recycle

material is also added to Granulator through Secondary Belt Conveyor. Process Water is

sprayed on the bed of rolling material in the Rotary Drum Granulator and acts as binder.

Small quantity of steam is introduced to control the moisture and promotes the desired

degree of granulation. Rotary Drum Granulator is rotated with low rpm and it initiates the

rolling action of moisture laden material to accelerate granulation.

b. Drying: Granular Material moves to Dryer where moisture level is brought down to around 3-

4% for TSP/SSP with hot air generated in HAG. Hot air and material move co-currently in the

rotating Drum Dryer in which the material is lifted up by lifters and showered down from the

top of the periphery of Dryer. This enhances the maximum contact time between hot air and

granules. Fuel oil/Natural gas is burnt in presence of air in the Combustion Chamber and hot

air is generated at a temperature of around 250°C.

Product separation: Product Material from Dryer containing different size of granules moves

to Dryer Conveyor and is fed to Vibro sieve where oversize and undersize granules are

separated from product size. Over size & undersize material from product material is mixed

with recycle material. Recycle material ex dryer is sent to vibro sieve wherein the oversize

removed is crushed down to smaller size in Hammer Mill and sent to Recycle Conveyor.

Under size material is also directly fed to Recycle Conveyor. Product material is sent to

cooler by conveyor.

c. Product cooling: Product is cooled down to around 55° C temperature in Product Cooler.

Product cooling is carried out based on fluidized bed principle with counter current flow of

ambient air. Air is introduced to Product Cooler with Cooler Fan.

C. GAS AND DUST SEPARATION SECTION: This section is divided into following four sub-

sections:

a. Dryer Gas and Dust Recovery: Water vapor, SiF4 gas, engrossed air and dust is sucked by

Scrubber ID Fan. Dust is arrested in Dryer cyclone and Bag filter. Water vapors and air then


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. moves to the Scrubber system wherein SiF4 gas gets scrubbed and water condenses in

scrubber system. H2SIF6 will form and will be reused back into process

b. Air and dust from Product Cooler: Air and dust from Product Cooler is sucked by Scrubber ID

Fan. At the first stage, dust is separated in Product Cooler Cyclone and Air and other gases

moves to Scrubber system.

During reaction of the phosphate with sulphuric acid in the den, hydrogen fluoride evolves and reacts

with the silica contained in the phosphates and forms gaseous silicon-tetrafluoride (SiF4) and fluo

slicic acid (H2SiF6). The continuous den is, therefore, enclosed so that fumes of these compounds do

not escape into the working place. The fluorous gases, containing H2SiF6 vapors, are withdrawn

through an opening in the den roof into a ventilation pipe to an absorption unit and are utilized for

making sodium fluo silicates. Superphosphate is granulated in drum granulators to improve its

physical properties. In the granulator, the superphosphate powder (after being cured for 2-6 weeks)

is wetted with water fed into the drum through nozzles, and rolled into granules of different size

which are then dried, screened into size fractions cooled and the product is bagged in plastic

(polyethylene) bags. The oversize granules are ground and recycled, with the undersize granules, to

the den.

Single superphosphate (SSP) was the first commercial mineral fertilizer and it led to the

development of the modern plant nutrient industry. This material was once the most commonly used

fertilizer, but other phosphorus (P) fertilizers have largely replaced SSP because of its relatively low

P content.

will be recycled back in the process.

Fluorine emission

The rock phosphate containing 4% fluoride liberates fluoride compound during the acidification of

rock phosphate. The process of concentration of phosphoric acid releases fluoride compound and

the nitro phosphate plant emits NOx and fluoride compound. In the super phosphate plant and the

phosphoric acid plant, the fluoride is released as HF and silicon tetra fluoride (SiF4). SiF4 further

reacts with either hydrofluoric acid to form hydro-fluorosilicic acid or with water to form

hydrofluorosilicic acid and silicon dioxide.

The gaseous effluent from the phosphoric acid plant is scrubbed in a specially designed scrubber. In

SSP plant and phosphoric acid plant multi-stage scrubbers are used to absorb more than 99% of the

fluoride. The hydrofluorosilicic acid formed is converted to sodium-silico fluoride, aluminum fluoride

or cryolite, etc., or recycled to the acidulation section for conversion of rock phosphate to single

super phosphate/phos acid.

Thus, it may seem that most of the liquid effluents have been adequately treated to recover useful

material and the treated wastewater has been put to reuse.

Air Pollution Control Measures For SSP plant, three stage scrubbing system consisting of high velocity jet ejector (one), Venture

Scrubbers (three stage) along with online continuous monitoring system for Fluorine will be provided.

Scrubbing System: A three stage wet scrubbing system is proposed to be installed having

efficiency of 99.95%. This scrubber will be used to scrub the fluorine emission generated in the

process. This shall ensure that fluorine emission will remain well below the stipulated limit.

Fluorine Balance: The rock phosphate generally has about 4 percent Fluoride (as F). Fluoride is liberated during acidulation of the rock phosphate in reaction den and in the concentration of Phosphoric acid. Fluoride is emitted from the rock phosphate during digestion, either as dust or as vapor (Fluorine, Hydrofluoric acid or Silicon Tetra-fluoride). Grinding of rock phosphate would create dust emissions. Overall fluorine balance is shown in Figure 2.4.

Fluorine Recovery System

Approximately 20 to 30% of fluorine from rock phosphate is emitted as gas phase in the reaction

system. Carbonates in the rock also react with sulfuric acid. Hydrogen Fluoride and Silicon Tetra

Fluoride are quite soluble in water and therefore very easy to remove from exhaust stream by water

absorption. The SiF4 is easily scrubbed with a counter current water scrubber system followed by an

alkaline Hypochlorite odour scrubber. These gaseous emissions are recovered as hydro-fluo-silicic

acid (H2SiF6) in the scrubbing system.

The Silicon Tetra Fluoride SiF4 reacts with water is converted to hydro-fluosilicic acid and silica.

3SiF4 + 2H2O 2H2SiF6 + SiO2

Silica reacts with HF to produce additional Silicon Tetra Fluoride, which again reacts with water as

shown above.

4HF + SiO2 SiF4 + 2H2O

Adding these two, we get

4HF + SiO2 2H2SiF6 (in presence of water)

The fluosilicic acid is a strong and poisonous acid, which decomposes under high temperature. This

flousilicic acid is to be used in the acidulation process, replacing some of the sulphuric acid.

Thus, the fluorine is recycled back into the fertilizer product to form fluorspar according to the

following reaction:

2H2SiF6 + Ca3(PO4)2 + 4H2O 2CaSiF6.2H2O + Ca(H2PO4)2

This leads to the saving of sulphuric acid to the tune of 20 kg per ton of superphosphate produced.

Silica is precipitated during the first passes of scrubbing & is kept in suspension using high volume

centrifugal pumps.

Note: In case of any abnormal situations where H2SiF6 is not recycled it will be treated with sodium sulphate and resulting

sodium silicofluoride will be sold to authorized recyclers or glass industries.

2.10.2 Noise Pollution

The proposed plant operations and related activities will lead to emission of noise that may have

significant impact on the surrounding communities in terms of increase in noise levels and

associated disturbances.

Sources of Noise at Site

Noise from Machinery/ Equipment during construction phase

In addition to the plant activity, during construction phase, site preparation / closure related activities

will also involve the operation of heavy equipment like pile drivers, loaders, etc. The equipment‘s will

be used during daytime and will emit noise within permissible limits. Thus, there will not be any

adverse impact on nearby habitation due to proposed activity.

Noise from Operation of Plant

The hoppers, grinders, cyclone cum bag filters, acidulation chambers, pumps, blowers and

associated machinery, including the DG set is likely to emit noise in the range of 80 to 90 dbA.

Moreover, as production is continuous activity, noise will be emitted during both daytime and

nighttime leading to a significant impact on local communities. The high noise levels within the

workshop, during maintenance and shutdown also have the potential to affect the workers on site.

Continuous exposure to high noise level in workplace environment may cause Noise Induced

Hearing Loss (NIHL) and other discomforts like headaches and increase in stress levels in workers.

Noise from Vehicle / Traffic

Vehicle movement for transportation of materials and work force to the site will cause minor noise

emission as the frequency of vehicular movement will be few times in a week.

Noise from DG sets, etc.

Noise generated from DG set, cooling tower, Pumps, etc. will have a permanent effect, as they will

work for more hours in a day continuously.

It is envisage that due to proposed project activity various wastes to be generated which are

described as under:

Sewage

Construction Phase: Sewage will be expected to generate due to domestic activities of workmen

and staff personnel during construction phase. On site sanitation facilities will be provided to

construction workers. Separate arrangement of sanitation facility for female workers. It is estimated

that 6.0 KLD sewage generated, which will send to soak pit through septic tank.

Operation Phase: Sewage quantity of 12 KLD will be generated and it shall be treated in package

STP of capacity 25 KLD.

Effluent

Effluent generated from the manufacturing process and other ancillary operation will be treated in

adequate newly constructed effluent treatment plant of capacity 50 KLD. It is estimated that 20 KLD

effluent will be treated in ETP and treated water will be reused back to process, hence proposed

project is Zero Liquid Discharge (ZLD) unit.

3.0 GENERAL

The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field studies within the probable impact zone

for various components of the environment viz. Air, Noise, Water, Soil, Land use, hydrogeology,

Ecology & Bio diversity and Socio-economy. The baseline environmental study has been conducted

for the study region within 10 km radius. An exhaustive attempt has been made in the current

chapter to disclose all possible baseline status of environmental quality in the study area, which

further serves as the basis for identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts.

3.1 BASELINE STUDY AREA AND PERIOD

The baseline environmental study has been conducted for the study region within 10 km radius of

the project site for the period 1st Oct 2017 to 31st Dec 2017. An exhaustive attempt has been made in

the current chapter to disclose all possible base line status of environmental quality in the vicinity of

the project, which further serves as the basis for identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts.

Study area map covering all the villages are shown in the Figure 3.1.

3.3 METHODOLOGY

The baseline environmental study was carried out for the various environmental components viz, Air,

Water, Soil, Ecology and Biodiversity, Socio Economy and Noise. A desktop study was carried out to

select the sampling locations and site visit was done by our field area experts. After the site visit,

locations were finalized. During the submission of field area expert report and discussion looking to


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. the extent of impact, 5 km radius was considered as core zone and rest 5 km radius was considered

as buffer zone. All the locations have been selected within 10 km radius from the project site as per

the requirement of TOR and environmental samples were collected from the selected locations of

the study area. Before starting the survey activity for ecology and bio diversity, secondary data were

used as reference during the desktop survey for listing the species of study zone and planning the

survey. In case of socio economy, secondary data have also been used for deciding the parameters

to be surveyed during socio economic data collection. As a secondary source of data, for Ecology

and Biodiversity survey various publications by the government of India and literature available on

internet site were used. Some photograph showing the monitoring and survey activities are

presented in Figure 1.1.

3.4 MICROMETEOROLOGY

The study of micro meteorological data helps to understand the variations in the ambient air quality

status in that region. The prevailing micrometeorological condition at project site plays a crucial role in

transport and dispersion of air pollutants. The persistence of the predominant wind direction and wind

speed at the project site decide the direction and extent of the air pollution impact zone. The principal

variables which affect the micrometeorology are horizontal transport and dispersion, convective

transport and vertical mixing and topography of the area towards local influences.

Micrometeorological data were collected by using the wind monitor as per CPCB guideline which was

installed near project site. All the micrometeorological data were collected on hourly basis.

Meteorological conditions of the study area are presented in Table 3.3.

Dec'17 10.2 30.1 22 92 0.1 17.0

3.4.1 Temperature

During the study period minimum temperature was recorded 10.2oC on 7h, 8th and 31st Dec 2017 and

maximum temperature was recorded as 37.0oC on 24th Oct 2017. Temperature data were collected

on hourly basis during the study period. Variation of temperature is graphically presented in Figure

3.3.

3.4.2 Humidity

Humidity affects the nature and characteristics of pollutants in the atmosphere as it is the measure of

amount of moisture in the atmosphere. Humidity helps suspended particulate matter to coalesce and

grow in size to settle under the gaseous pollutants by providing them aqueous medium. During the


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. study period minimum Humidity was recorded 17% on 20th Nov 2017 and maximum Humidity was

recorded as 92% on 31st Dec 2017. The variation in humidity is represented graphically in Figure 3.4.

3.4.3 Wind Speed and Wind Direction

Hourly wind speed data were collected for the period 1st Oct 2017 to 31st Dec 2017 with the help of

wind monitor. The rate of dispersion, diffusion and transportation of pollutants in the atmosphere

mainly depend on wind speed and its direction. Wind direction and velocity data have been collected

during the study period. Dominant wind direction in the study period was from NNE –SSW during the

study period. Wind blow was also observed in the direction NE-SW. Wind speed was observed from

0.1 to 10.3 km/hr in the month of Oct, from 0.1 to 9.1 km/hr in the month of Nov and from 0.1 to 17.0

km/hr in the Month of Dec 2017. Month-wise maximum and minimum wind speed data are tabulated

in Table 3.3.

Wind rose diagram is a graphical representation of the magnitude and direction of wind speed

considering all the directions. From the knowledge of wind rose one can easily predict the direction

and extent of spreading of the gaseous and particulate matter from the source. Wind rose diagram

has been prepared by using hourly wind velocity and dominant wind direction data and is presented

in Figure 3.5

Figure 3.5 Wind Rose Diagram

3.4.5 Interpretation of Micrometeorological Data

Wind rose diagram indicate that the wind pattern of the study region was NNE to SSW and NE to SW

during the study period. Dominant wind direction can be considered NNE to SSW. Based on

micrometeorological data, of wind direction and wind speed it is interpreted that chances of maximum

dispersion of pollutants will be in SSW direction due to upcoming project during the period Oct to Dec.

SW direction also be impacted during this period.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. 3.5 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Air is the Earth‘s atmosphere having the gases in which living organisms live and breathe but air is

being deteriorated day by day due to the anthropogenic and natural sources. In present scenario

Industrialization, Energy production and the burning of fossil fuels has polluted the air environment.

Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out for the assessment of the existing status of

background air quality in the study area. This will be useful for assessing the conformity of the

ambient air quality to the standards even after commencement of the proposed project.

3.5.1 Selection of Sampling Locations

Following points were considered during the selection of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring locations.

Topography/terrain of the study area.

Regional synoptic scale climatologically norm‘s,

Densely populated areas within the region,

Location of surrounding Industries,

Representation of regional background,

Facility for Ambient Air Monitoring,

Representation of valid cross – sectional distribution in downwind direction,

Avoidance of proximity of roads, construction activity or any other perturbing activity which may

be temporary in nature, which may lead to some erroneous conclusions.

Availability of manpower, electricity, approach, sturdy structure and protection of samplers.

Dominant Wind Direction.

To establish the baseline status around the project site of the study region, monitoring was conducted

for 8 numbers of locations during 1st Oct 2017 to 31st Dec 2017. At the time of location selection

previous micrometeorological data was referred and general wind pattern in the study region was

considered for the selection of minimum one location in the downwind direction. However, ambient air

monitoring locations were selected in all the directions looking towards the possibility of change in

wind pattern during the study period. Ambient Air Quality monitoring locations are presented in

Figure 3.6 and Table 3.4.

3.5.2 Frequency and Parameters for Sampling

Sampling team was appointed with one FAE and Technical Assistant to carry out Ambient Air Quality

Monitoring for 8 numbers of locations within 10 km radius from the project site. Sampling and analysis

was carried out as per CPCB, IS 5182 & EPA and instrument operation manual for the parameters

PM2.5, PM10, SO2, NOx, NH3, CO, HF and Total HC (methane and Non –methane). After the

completion of sampling, samples were brought to the laboratory in Ice box and filter box for analysis.

Frequency of sampling was twice a week during study period.

3.5.5 Summary of Ambient Air Quality

Results were compared with the standard for ambient air quality monitoring as per the Ministry

of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF & CC).

During the study PM10 was observed in the range of 59.1 – 86.2 µg/m3. Maximum

concentration of PM10 was found at Kesrol Village.

PM2.5 was observed in the range of 32.1 – 48.8 µg/m3. Maximum concentration of PM10 was

found at Kesrol Village.

SO2 concentration was observed in the range of 10.4 -16.8 µg/m3, which is well within the

standard limit.

NOx concentration in was observed in the range of 15.8- 25.1 µg/m3, which is well within the

standard limit.

Monitoring and analysis was also carried out for CO, NH3, HF and Total HC. Result for the

CO, NH3, HF and Total HC was found well within the norms.

3.5.6 Interpretation of Ambient Air Quality Data

Based on comparison study of results for tested parameters with NAAQS, it is interpreted that

ambient air quality of studied locations is good as all the results of studied parameter are well within

the limit. This interpretation relate to the test data obtained during survey for particular locations only.

There is very less no. of industry and numbers of investors have planned to install the industries,


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. considering the probable impact due to upcoming industries, it is suggested that proper air pollution

control measures must be adopted by the industry.

3.6 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

The objective of the baseline noise survey was to identify existing noise sources and to measure

background noise levels at the sensitive receptors within the study area. Peoples‘ perception of noise

varies depending on number of factors including their natural sensitivity and hearing ability, past

experience of sound, cultural factors and the time of day at which sound is experienced. Continuous

sound is perceived quite differently from intermittent sound at the same level. High or continuous

noise levels may cause permanent loss of hearing ranging from reduced perception at certain

frequencies to total deafness. At comparatively lower levels noise may have psychological effects

including disturbance of sleep, annoyance and irritation.

3.6.1 Sources of Noise Pollution

The sources of noise pollution in the study area are industrial noise, noise due to commercial

activities, noise generated by Community, Vehicular traffic etc.

3.6.2 Noise Level in the Study Area

Noise level monitoring was carried out with the help of sound level meter at 8 different locations fall

under residential, industrial and high noise generating source. Noise sampling locations are

presented in Figure 3.7 and Table 3.7. Analysis results are presented in Table 3.8 (a&b).

equivalent noise level was recorded 75.8 dB (A) during day time and 70.2 dB (A) during night

time as per factory act 1948 noise level exposure limit for 8 hrs.is 90 dB (A).

3.6.4 Interpretation of Noise Data


interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF&CC. Looking towards

the increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise reducing

devices at noise generating sources and generate public awareness.

3.7 TRAFFIC STUDY

Proposed project connect with State Highway No. 6 and State Highway No. 161. Proposed project

will attract to commercial vehicles as a result traffic load will also increase on highways. Traffic load

play a major role in polluting the air. To assess the traffic load, 4 no. of surveyors were appointed to

survey for State Highway No. 6 and State Highway No. 161.

Traffic data collected continuously for 24 hours by visual observation and counting of vehicles under

three categories, viz., heavy motor vehicles, light motor vehicles and two/three wheelers. As traffic

densities on the roads are high, two persons were deployed simultaneously at each station during

each shift- one person on each of the two directions for counting the traffic. At the end of each hour,

fresh counting and recording was undertaken. Total numbers of vehicles per hour under the three

categories were determined. Traffic study is conducted on State Highway No. 6 and State Highway

No.161 from 24th and 25nd Oct 2017.

3.9.1 Summary of Soil Quality

The following interpretation is made based on visual observation and the test results found during

the study period.

The soils are categorized as sandy loam to clay based on different soil separates (clay loam

to clay).

The soils had moderate water holding capacity (36.4 to 38.1 %) and poor porosity (18.6 to

20.1 %) and drainage capacity as texture is clay at the site as nearly 78 % is silt + clay.

The soil is categorized as Vertisol (deep black cotton soil) having > 1m depth. The pH of the

soil samples narrowly ranged from 7.54 to 7.80 during the study period.

The soil EC also varied from 0.92 to 1.11 dS/m and ESP ranged from 13.2 to 14.9, which

indicates that soils are saline (EC>0.8 dS/m 1: 2 soil: water ratio), but non-sodic as ESP<15.

Among exchangeable basic cations predominance of calcium (24.8 to 27.4 meq/100 g soil)

was seen followed by Mg (5.3 to 8.8 meq/100 g soil), Na (5.1 to 6.3 meq/100 g soil) and K (1.6

to 1.9 meq/100 g soil).


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. The loss on ignition (0.2 to 0.5 % OC) indicate that soils are low (< 0.5 % OC) to medium (<

0.50 to 0.75 % OC) in organic carbon status. This shows that soils are low to medium in

nitrogen status.

Total Nitrogen was in the range of 386.2 – 965.5 kg/ha/ which is low to medium,

Total Phosphorous was in the rage of 241.9 – 387.6 kg/ha, which indicates that soils are low

(<28 kg/ha) in available phosphorus status considering 2 % of the total as the available

phosphorus.

The results relating to total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn do not show alarming concentrations in

different soil samples.

3.9.2 Interpretation of Soil Data

Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal to saline from salinity view point and

non-sodic as ESP is < 15 at the site. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in phosphorus and

high in potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the safe limits. However, for

successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic manure (50 tons/ha) and double the

quantity of recommended doses of N, and P and half the dose of K fertilizers should be applied. The

soil at the project site requires amelioration. Apply acid forming amendments like sulphur/iron pyrite

for removal of excess sodium from the exchange complex with provision of adequate drainage. The

soil should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and ESP.

3.10 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Physical, Chemical and Microbiological factors influencing the water quality are so interrelated that a

change in any water quality parameter may trigger other changes in a complete network of

interrelated variables. Selected water quality parameters for surface and ground water resources

along with biological indicators within study region have been used for water environment and

assessing the impact on it by proposed project. A study on water environment aspects of ecosystem

plays an important role in environmental assessment to identify water related sensitive issues.

3.10.1 Reconnaissance

As a significant part of predefined framework of the present study, water samples were collected from

selected locations. The reconnaissance survey was undertaken and monitoring locations were

finalized based on:

Presence, Location and uses of major Water Bodies in the region,

Type and Location of Industrial/Residential areas, their intake and effluent disposal locations,

Likely area that can represent baseline conditions.

3.10.2 Water Quality

With the start of water quality study, the water resources in the study area were divided into two

categories for getting ideal upshot of baseline status of water quality of the region. These two

categories as determined are:

Ground water resources (tube well, open well, springs etc.),

Surface water resources including streams, nalas, ponds, rivers, canals.

3.10.3 Sampling and Analysis

All the water samples were collected and analyzed as per ―Standard Methods for Examination of

3.10.6 Interpretation of Ground Water Quality Data

Based on comparison study of test results with drinking water norms, it is interpreted that water

qualities of studied locations meet with the drinking water standards as per IS 10500: 2012 except

Vilayat and Ankot village and these water sources can be used in drinking, washing, bathing and

irrigation purpose. Total Hardness and Chloride in the water sample for Vilayat and Ankot village do

not confirm the norms. Water sample of Vilayat and Ankot village should not be used in drinking but

it can be used in all other domestic purposes. These interpretations relate to the sample tested for

particular location only. To save the ground water from contamination and improving the quality,

rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.

3.10.7 Surface Water

To assess the quality of Surface water, samples were collected from 7 numbers of locations for the

analysis of physico-chemical and microbiological parameters. Frequency of sampling was once

during the study period. Sampling and analysis was carried out as per ―Standard Methods for

Examination of Water and Wastewater 22nd edition, 2012. Surface water sampling locations are

presented in the Table 3.17 and Figure 3.14. Analysis results are presented in Table 3.18 & 3.19.

out. Total coliform bacteria are not acceptable indicators of the sanitary quality of rural water

supplies, particularly in tropical areas where many bacteria of no sanitary significance occur in

almost all untreated supplies.

c) It is recognized that, in the great majority of rural water supplies in developing countries, fecal

contamination is widespread. Under these conditions, the national surveillance agency should set

medium-term targets for progressive improvement of water supplies.

3.10.8 Summary of Surface Water Quality

The following description is based on the analysis of the samples:

During the analysis pH of the samples was found in the range of 7.01 – 7.84. TDS analysis was also carried out for surface water sample and it was found in the range of

262-962 mg/L. TSS was found in the range of 6 – 12 mg/L. Total Hardness ranges from 108 – 360 mg/L with maximum in the water sample of Ankot

village and minimum in Juned and Vahiyal village. DO is one of the important parameter to indicate towards the contamination of organic

matter. DO level decrease as soon as organic contamination increases. During analysis DO was found in the range of 4.6-5.0 mg/L.

COD and BOD analysis was also carried out during the study period and results were found more than the expected value. Various literatures show that BOD should be less than 4.0 mg/L for the better survival of aquatic life.

Total Nitrogen was found in the range of 1.0 – 1.5 mg/L. Heavy metal analysis was also carried out and the Iron content was found in the range of

0.22- 0.42 mg/L. MPN test was also carried out for this surface water sample and it was found positive. It

indicates towards the faecal contamination in surface water body.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. 3.10.9 Interpretation of Surface Water Quality Data

Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not meet

with drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been found

more than the expected value and range of norms, which indicates that water has been

contaminated with organic matter. It may be due to directly or indirectly contamination with sewage

and effluent. This water should not be directly used in drinking purpose but it can be used in drinking

after conventional treatment followed by disinfection. This water can be used in irrigation and other

domestic purposes.

3.11 GEOLOGY AND HYDROGEOLOGY

3.11.1 Geology

The rock formations in this region are covered by a thick pile of alluvium and their exposures are

scanty except margin of the region. The sediments mainly comprise silt, sand and silty clay deposits

belonging to Khatpur and Varahi Formation. Bharuch is situated on the northern bank of Narmada

river, is an important industrial and commercial town of South Gujarat. Bharuch is located at the

southern Jambusar- Bharuch block of the Cambay Graben. The town is located in the Narmada

seismic zone. The zone follows closely the ENE-WSW course of the Narmada river. Its southern

margin envelops the Tapti river. Westward, it probably continues into the Arabian sea, south of

Kathiawar peninsula. The predominant WSW to westerly trends of the Narmada and the Tapti rivers

suggest that river courses are controlled by a system of faults. Northwards and southwards

deflections of the trend of the Narmada river from Nawagaon to Bharuch can be similarly controlled

to the N-S to NNW-SSE faults in the Deccan Traps.

Geologically the area comprises of alluvial formations of recent to sub recent age. The geological

succession in stratigraphical order is mentioned below:

Era Period Age Lithology

Cenozoic Quaternary Sub‐Recent to Recent Alluvium consisting of

sand

clay beds

Tertiary Lower Miocene Clay

The alluviam deposit of sub‐recent to recent age is observed in the area. It consists of alternate

bands of Yellowish brown clay and fine to coarse grained sand. The tertiary formation consists of

clay underlies the alluvium. As the area is under the influence of sea water intrusion no efforts has

been made by local farmers or industries for ground water exploration.



Figure 3.15 Geological features of Gujarat (Source-GIS)

3.11.2 Hydrogeology

The main hydrological unit in the area is alluvium formation. The alluvium formation mainly

comprises of alternate bands of sand and clay. The sand formation consists of medium to fine

grained and works as aquifer. The ground water in area is highly saline so no efforts have been done

to extract ground water.

Hydrogeological map is shown in figure 3.16 the hard rocks, the semi-consolidated Cretaceous, and

Tertiary formations and unconsolidated alluvial deposits, all comprise multi – aquifer systems

thereby presenting unconfined as well as confined groundwater conditions in the entire district.

Tertiary formations, are inherently saline and contain poor quality of groundwater. Groundwater

occurs under unconfined conditions in the limestone and sandstone aquifers of Bagh beds.

Occurrence and movement of groundwater is restricted mainly to the fractures and joints in the

limestones and sandstones. The discharge in dug wells varies from 30 to 50 m3/day. The bagh beds,

where overlain by Deccan Trap are likely to yield groundwater under confined conditions. The

Deccan Trap have given rise to multi-layered stratified aquifers. Each individual flow comprises two

distinct units, namely the upper vesicular basalt and the lower massive basalt. The massive basalt is

hard and compact with primary porosity but the vesicular basalts exhibit porosity. The movement of

groundwater is therefore controlled by the secondary porosity developed by the presence of

fractures and joints. The paleo-weathering which is invariably observed at depth near the top of

every flow, has given rise to good aquifers at depth. The yield of the dug wells in Deccan traps,

which range in depth from 5 to 25m bgl, sustain pumping from 1/2 hour to 10 hour with discharge

varying from 200 to 1200 litre per minute (LPM) for drawdown of 4 to 7 m. Bore well tapping deeper

Project site

15m. The sandstone are the main aquifers in the Tertiary formations but the limestone also yield

significant quantities of groundwater wherever karstic development have taken place. Deep tube well

tapping the Tertiary formations is capable of yielding 300 to 3000 LPM of water for meager

drawdown of 1 to 7m. The alluvium formations in the western most part of the area do not constitute

potential aquifers on account of inferior quality of water. (Source – CGWB, Bharuch 2014)

Figure 3.16 Hydro-Geological features of Bharuch (Source – CGWB, Bharuch 2014)

During the year 2012 a over all rise in water levels was observed due to recharge from monsoon

rainfall of 707 mm during the year An average rise of about 2 m was observed over the pre-monsoon

water levels in large part of the district. Rise to the tune of more than 2 m is observed in pockets in

eastern as well as western parts and southern part of the district.

3.12 ECOLOGY AND BIODIVERSITY

Ecology is the scientific study of the relations that living organisms have with respect to each other

and their natural environment. Producer, consumer and decomposer govern whole cycle of ecology.

Plant and animal both are interdependent to each other. Producer is necessary for each consumer.

Plant plays their role in ecology as producer. Plant, animals and microorganism together with the

environment in which they live make an independent unit called the Ecosystem. The main objective

of the ecological survey is aimed to find out baseline status of flora and fauna of the study region. An

ecological survey of the study area was conducted particularly with reference to listing of species

Rare and Endangered Fauna of the Study Area Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972, amended on 17th January 2003, is an Act to provide for the protection of wild animals, birds and plants and for matters connected therewith or ancillary or incidental thereto with a view to ensuring the ecological and environmental security of the country.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. Some of the sighted fauna was given protection by the Indian Wild Life (Protection) Act, 1972 by

including them in different schedules. All the birds are included in schedule IV. No any rare and endangered faunal species were found in the study area.

Endemic Fauna of the Study Area None of the sighted animal species can be assigned endemic species category of the study area.

3.12.4 Interpretation on Ecology and Biodiversity

The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were; Cattle Egret, Intermediate Egret, Black-winged Stilt, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Spotted Dove, Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Bank Myna and Common Myna. All the birds are included in schedule IV. Among the reptiles Oriental garden lizard was common. Among mammals Black rat was common. There is a good population of schedule-II species like Herpestes edwardsi (Indian grey mongoose) and Naja naja (Indian cobra) as food chain is interlinked in the biological environment. Dominant flora of the study region is Prosopis juliflora and acacia species. Area is not rich with floral diversity. Rosa (Rose), Gossypium (Cotton) and Cajanus cajan (Tur) are majorly cultivated by the farmers of the majority villages. Natural vegetation of study area is in degraded condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No endangered or threatened species were observed during the survey.

3.13 SOCIO ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

In order to assess and evaluate the likely impacts arising out of any new or existing projects in socio-economic environment, it is necessary to gauge the apprehension of the people in the surrounding areas. Socio-economic survey serves as an effective tool for fulfilling this requirement.

The rapid industrialization of the study region has greatly influenced the socio economic and health environment in the villages. Increasing industrialization and population density has increased pressure on resources, civic amenities and public infrastructure. Economic conditions of the local people have improved with the increasing industrialization and greater employment opportunities. The socio-economic environment includes demography structure, population density, literacy level, and employment levels. The data establish a baseline for the prediction of likely impacts of the proposed activity on the socio-economic environment. Secondary information pertaining to the study area villages was collected from Government Agencies, Census data for the year 2011, and statistical abstracts to compile the socio-economic data.

3.13.1 Socio-Economic Survey Methodology

Socio-economic survey tools provide a means of improving understanding of local resource

management systems, resource use and the relative importance of resources for households and

villages. They can also be used to elicit insights on interaction with government decision-making

systems, community perceptions of trends and priority issues, and community-based institutions and

their role in the sustainable use and conservation of natural resources.

Data Collection: Following steps were considered for the collection of primary data:

i. Identification of Study Area: The study area was identified before carrying out the survey. All the

related information which could affect the prosperity, development & literacy were also collected.

ii. Site Visit: Location wise survey plan and format for data collection were prepared for site visit.

Data regarding Land Characteristics, Population, Literacy, Workers and Amenities were collected

during the survey.

Analysis of Data: The data collected by primary survey were verified with secondary data collected

from sources likeGovernment Agencies, Census data for the year 2011 and statistical abstracts.

3.13.8 Interpretation of Socio Economic Data

During the primary survey it was observed that almost Pakka road facility is available in all villages

within 10 km radius. Literacy rate of the study region is from 57.04 to 82.55%. On the basis of survey

for literacy rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote educate more and more people.

Almost all the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers. It indicates that the problem of

unemployment can be solved by providing proper training and education. There is also need to

establish more industries so that maximum number of employment can be generated.

iii. SO2 10.4 – 16.7 µg/m3

iv. NOx 15.8 - 25.1 µg/m3


ambient air quality of studied locations is good as all the results of studied parameter are well

within the limit. This interpretation relate to the test data obtained during survey for particular

locations only. There is very less no. of industry and numbers of investors have planned to install

the industries, considering the probable impact due to upcoming industries, it is suggested that

proper air pollution control measures must be adopted by the industry.





interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking

towards the increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise

reducing devices at noise generating sources and generate public awareness.


i. pH 7.54 – 7.80






Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal to saline from salinity view point

and non-sodic as ESP is < 15 at the site. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in

phosphorus and high in potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the safe

limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic manure (50

tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N, and P and half the dose of K

fertilizers should be applied. The soil at the project site requires amelioration. Apply acid forming

amendments like sulphur/iron pyrite for removal of excess sodium from the exchange complex

with provision of adequate drainage. The soil should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and

ESP.

4. Ground Water

i. pH 7.10 - 7.82

ii. TDS 1012 – 4718 mg/L








qualities of studied locations meet with the drinking water standards as per IS 10500: 2012

except Vilayat and Ankot village and these water sources can be used in drinking, washing,

bathing and irrigation purpose. Total Hardness and Chloride in the water sample for Vilayat and

Ankot village do not confirm the norms. Water sample of Vilayat and Ankot village should not be

used in drinking but it can be used in all other domestic purposes. These interpretations relate to

the sample tested for particular location only. To save the ground water from contamination and

improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.

5. Surface Water

i. pH 7.01 - 7.94

ii. TDS 262 – 962 mg/L


iv. DO 4.6– 5.0 mg/L

v. BOD 4 – 8 mg/L

Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not

meet with drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been

found more than expected value which indicates that water has been contaminated with organic

matter. It may be due to directly or indirectly contamination with sewage and effluent. This water

should not be directly used in drinking purpose but it can be used in drinking after conventional

treatment followed by disinfection. This water can be used in irrigation and other domestic

purposes.


The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were Cattle Egret, Intermediate Egret,

Black-winged Stilt, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Spotted Dove,

Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Bank Myna and Common Myna. All the birds are included in

schedule IV. Among the reptiles Oriental garden lizard was common. Among mammals Black rat

was common. There is a good population of schedule-II species like Herpestes edwardsi (Indian

grey mongoose) and Naja naja (Indian cobra) as food chain is interlinked in the biological

environment. Dominant flora of the study region is Prosopis juliflora and acacia species. Area is

not rich with floral diversity. Rosa (Rose), Gossypium (Cotton) and Cajanus cajan (Tur) are

majorly cultivated by the farmers of the majority villages. Natural vegetation of study area is in

degraded condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No endangered or threatened

species were observed during the survey.

7. Socio Economic

Literacy rate of the study region is from 57.04% to 82.55%. On the basis of survey for literacy

rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote educate more and more people. Almost all

the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers.

4.1 GENERAL

The chapter aims at identifying the probable impacts at the source level and to provide suitable

mitigation measures for controlling to the extent possible with the available and affordable

technology. This project would create impact on the environment in two distinct phases:

During the construction phase,

During the operation phase.

The construction and operational phase of the proposed project comprises various activities each of

which will have an impact on various environmental parameters. Various impacts during the

construction and operation phase on the environmental parameters have been studied and suitable

mitigation measures have been suggested to abate the impact

4.2 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE

This phase involves the activities like erection of civil units, new equipment and machinery

installation, green belt development etc. Different components of environment are likely to be

effected by the activities. But the impacts will be marginal and for short term only. The green belt

development will have positive impacts.

The highest scoring of impact occurred during Product and raw material handling, storage and

processing. On water, maximum impact (-27) envisaged during operation phase. The cumulative

score without mitigation measures is -48 which represent major adverse impact, hence it is

suggested to take crucial mitigation measures.


Impact Due to Transport: The sources likely to be affecting the pollutant concentrations in project

area would be vehicular emission due to transportation in expansion of project. On account of

various associated activities, there will be increased vehicular traffic on connecting roads.

Generation of gaseous emissions is therefore, of primary concern. Mode of transportation of each

incoming and outgoing material is presented in Table 4.20 and for computation of traffic modelling

studies frequency of vehicles has been calculated.

So, the additional load on the carrying capacity of the concern roads is not likely to have any

significant adverse effect.

4.3.3 Air Quality Index

Air Quality Index (AQI) is one such tool for effective dissemination of air quality information to

people. There are six AQI categories, namely Good, Satisfactory, Moderately polluted, Poor, Very

Poor, and Severe. The proposed AQI will consider eight pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, NO2, SO2, CO,

O3, NH3, and Pb) for which short-term (up to 24-hourly averaging period) National Ambient Air

Quality Standards are prescribed. Based on the measured ambient concentrations, corresponding

standards and likely health impact, a sub-index is calculated for each of these pollutants. The worst

sub-index reflects overall AQI. AQI to be calculated by using the pollutant concentration data, the

following table, and the following equation (linear interpolation):

Where,

Ip = the index for pollutant p

Cp = the rounded concentration of pollutant p

BPHi = the breakpoint that is greater than or equal to Cp

BPLo = the breakpoint that is less than or equal to Cp

BPHi = the breakpoint that is greater than or equal to Cp

The AQI for 5 parameters has been calculated for running 24-hr averages. It can be seen that for

pollutants air quality is satisfactory.

From the above representative table of air quality index for 10 Km radius of project site,

responsible parameter for pollution is PM10 & PM2.5. Maximum AQI and responsible parameter

for pollution are recorded in project area are PM10 with satisfactory impact.

4.3.4 Air Modeling Study

Atmospheric dispersion modeling is the mathematical simulation of how air pollutants disperse in the

ambient atmosphere. It is performed with computer programs that solve the mathematical equations

and algorithms which simulate the pollutant dispersion. The dispersion models are used to estimate

or to predict the concentration of air pollutants by using various inputs such as meteorological

parameters viz. temperature, wind speed and direction, mixing depths, inversion level, etc. and

source emissions emitted from sources on the desired area. Such models are helpful to the

government agencies for protecting and managing the ambient air quality. The models are typically

employed to determine whether the ambient air quality level due to proposed project will comply with

the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) or not. Over and above the prediction of the

concentration of pollutant at a particular area / locations, it also assists in the designing of effective


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. control measures / strategies to reduce emissions of harmful air pollutants during operation. It also

guide on the required pollution control equipment.

For the proposed atmospheric dispersion modeling study, United States Environmental Protection

Agencys (USEPA) approved and also recommended by the Ministry of Environment, Forests and

Climate Change (MoEFCC), Government of India, regulatory air quality model i.e. Industrial Source

Complex Short Term (ISCST3-version 3) is applied to predict ground level incremental

concentrations (GLCs) of concerned critical pollutants. Prior to air quality modeling exercise,

meteorological condition during one season over project site is extensively studied and were also

compared with secondary data from the government sources. Concentrations are estimated for the

critical pollutants assessed over appropriate averaging times (i.e. 8 hours and 24 hours) based on

the applicability of the National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

To assess the impact of air emissions from various continuous point sources, air dispersion

Modelling study has been conducted with the help of Industrial Source Complex Short Term Model

(ISCST3) version 5.0 model of AermodCloudTM developed by Envitrans Infosolution Pvt. Ltd.

Model Setup Detailed model set up is given in the following table:

Inference

It is noted that the maximum impact zone is within one km radial zone from the stack of industrial

Plant. The modeling study proved that the air emissions from the proposed plant would not affect

the ambient air quality of the region in any significant manner. This is because the proposed plant

will have highly efficient air pollution control equipments to control air emissions. The ambient air

quality around the proposed project site will remain within the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards (NAAQS) meant for industrial area. NAAQS are indicative air quality criteria that are

adequate to protect the human health and vegetation.

7.1 GENERAL

This chapter deals with additional studies such as public consultation, risk assessment and other

related studies. Fertilizer Industry is associated with potential hazards that effect to the man and

natural environment. It would normally require the assistance of emergency services to handle it

effectively. The operation shall be taken out under the well management and control by the qualified

safety manager. Disaster management plan has to be formulated with an aim of taking precautionary

steps to avert disasters and also to take such action after the disaster which limits the damage to the

minimum.

7.2 PUBLIC CONSULTATION

Public hearing shall be conducted after submitting draft EIA report and the action plan will be

prepared accordingly minutes of public hearing.

7.3 RISK ASSESSMENT

Risk is an expression of chance, a function of the likelihood of an adverse impact and the magnitude

of its consequences. Environmental Risk Assessment is the process of the evaluating the likelihood

of adverse effect in, or transmitted by the natural environment from hazards that accompany human

activities.

Qualitative and Quantitative Risk assessment is discussed in subsequent section.

7.3.1 Identification of Risk

The facility handles the following hazardous chemicals/materials, which pose a potential hazard to

the environment, human health and safety.

Major Raw materials

1. Rock phosphate

2. Sulfuric Acid

In addition to the above materials the following utilities and processes poses risks to the

environment, health and safety which inherent in any process plant.

Chemicals and Utilities

1. Emissions of dust during grinding process

2. Electricity

7.3.2 Identification of Hazard

The following is the brief on the various hazards associated with the handling and storage of above

Chemicals/ Material.

Sulfuric Acid:

Sulfuric acid is thick oily odorless liquid with marked acid taste. It is inorganic compound with

formulae H2SO4.

Sulfuric acid is very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant, permeate), of eye contact

(irritant, corrosive), of ingestion, or inhalation.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. Phosphoric Acid:

Phosphoric acid (also known as ortho-phosphoric acid or phosphoric (V) acid) is a mineral (inorganic)

and weak acid having the chemical formula H3PO4. Orthophosphoric acid refers to phosphoric acid,

which is the IUPAC name for this compound.

Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, permeator), of eye contact (corrosive). Liquid or

spray mist may produce tissue damage particularly on mucous membranes of eyes, mouth and

respiratory tract. Skin contact may produce burns. Skin inflammation is characterized by itching,

scaling, reddening, or, occasionally, blistering.

Rock Phosphate:

Rock phosphate is odorless solid having grey to yellow color and it has a low order of toxicity. Rock

phosphate is nonflammable and non-explosive material. The occupational exposure limit of

phosphate dust is 10 mg/m3 as an 8 hour TWA for inhalable dust and 3 mg/m3 for respirable dust.

Rock phosphate is non-corrosive and stable material.

Radiation Hazard of Rock Phosphate

Some phosphate ores contain high amounts of Uranium. Such mineral phosphates do pose radiation

hazard in addition to the above hazard. So it is recommended to use rock phosphate with low

uranium content.

Construction phase

The construction of the plant is expected to last for about 13-15 months. The hazards involved in

various construction related activities like excavation, working at height, slip, trips, fall, collapse,

Noise, Material handling, hand/arm vibration syndrome, electricity, vehicular movement have been

considered.

Diesel, lubricating oil and similar kind of material

The diesel is required for D. G. Set operation in case of power outage by the electricity supply

company. Generally the storage of diesel is 4 to 5 drums of 100 liters each. Furnace oil/ LDO will be

stored in vertical cylindrical tank of 85 KL capacity. The lubricating oil is required for the gear boxes

attached with various equipments (Reactors). The hazard involved in handling these materials is

leakage spillage. Another hazard associated with lube oil is slippage of a person if the lube oil spills

on the road, it can also create land contamination. The other significant hazard with these materials is

fire as both liquids can catch fire being hydrocarbons. The used lubricating oils and sludge at the

bottom of diesel tank is a hazardous waste and should be recycles to the authorized agents only. The

hazards associated the production and handling of various utilities like electricity, compressed air,

steam etc. are common in any process industry and the control of these hazards associated with

them can be controlled in a normal way. Their hazard control methodology is well known.

7.3.3 Qualitative Risk Assessment

In Qualitative Risk Assessment, risk has been analyzed using methodology called HIRA-Hazards

Identification & Risk Assessment. In HIRA, major manual activities carried out by plant personnel as

well as contract labors have been considered.

Qualitative Risk Assessment has been carried out for the following areas:

Construction phase

Storage and Handling of various Chemicals like Sulphuric acid, Rock phosphate, Diesel, lube oil

and Furnace Oil


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. Risk involved in various processes / process equipment cannot be addressed completely by

consequence analysis. As a conservative approach, these risks have been considered separately

under this topic. The approach is to identify hazards associated in operation of equipment as well as

in processes, assessing its impacts, ranking the risk posed by it and finally to propose remedial

actions/mitigation measures such that the risk is minimized to tolerable level. The Risk Matrix

presented in Table 7.1, is referred in evaluating the assessment. Risk acceptability criteria given in

Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. 7.3.4 Quantitative Risk Assessment

Quantitative Risk Assessment (QRA) is a structured approach to identifying and understanding the

hazards and risks associated with Storage and Handling of flammable/ toxic chemicals. The

assessment starts by taking into account an inventory of hazardous chemicals stored, likelihood of

leakage/ spillage associated with it and selecting the worst case scenario for consequence

estimation. Finally, suggesting the measures to minimize or mitigate risks to meet appropriate

acceptability criteria. The planning for emergency evacuation shall be borne in mind whilst

interpreting the results.

Kisan Shakti Fertilizers & Pesticides Pvt. is proposing to install Chemical Fertilizer manufacturing

plant i.e. Single Super Phosphate (SSP)(Granules and/or Powder), Triple Super Phosphate(TSP)

(Granules and/or Powder) and Phosphoric Acid ; which is Irritant. If they are not handled properly it

will lead to respiratory disease, wounds and burns. Self-contained breathing apparatus will be

available in the premises in the event of leakage in case of emergency. Employees will be trained in

handling these self-contained breathing apparatus.

Major identified hazardous chemicals identified in the project are Sulphuric acid and FO.

Separate storage area will be provided for H2SO4 and will be handled with at most care following the

safety norms for handling of hazardous chemicals. FO will be stored separately in the aboveground

storage tank/drum. The details of bulk chemical storage are given in Table 7.8

7.4.4 Off Site Emergency Plan

In the effects of the accident or disaster inside the plant is felt outside its premises, it calls for an off-

site emergency plan, which would prepared and documented in advance in consultation with the

district authorities.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. The off-site emergency plan prepared herein will deal with those incidents identified under Level – 3

in the on-site plan, which have the potential to harm persons or the environment outside the

boundary of the factory premises.

The most significant risk to outside areas is that associated with a large release of Furnace oil.

Spread of its effected outside the works may require traffic control, evacuation, shelter arrangement.

Off-site emergency plan has been drawn up with a view to mobilize resources and integrate with

district contingency plan for an effective system of command and control in combating the

emergency.

Thus in brief the two main purpose of the off-site emergency plan are:

To provide the local / district authorities, police, fire brigade, doctors, surrounding industries and the

public, the basic information of risk and environment impact assessment and to appraise them of the

consequences and the protection prevention measures and control plans and to seek their help to

communicate with the public in case of major emergency

To assist the district authorities for preparing the off-site emergency plan for the district or particulate

area and to organize rehearsal from time to time and initial corrective action based on the lesson

learnt.

Structure of the off-site emergency plan:

This off-site emergency plan will be integrated properly with the district contingency plan to tackle

any kind of emergency. The site main controller will keep liaison for this purpose with the district

authorities.

with district contingency plan and various functions to be carried out are mentioned in chart OFF –

SITE emergency plan as follow:

Figure 7.1 Off-Site Emergency Plan

Emergency due to Natural Calamities

Types of natural calamities & its action plan:

a. Earth quake:

During earthquake, if indoors:

Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on.

Stay inside.

The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try to leave the

building because objects can fall on you.

During earthquake, if outdoors:

Move into the open, away from buildings, street lights, and utility wires.

Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops.

During earthquake, if in a moving vehicle:

Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle.

Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees, overpasses, or utility wires.

Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. Avoid bridges or ramps that might

have been damaged by the quake.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. After earthquake

Be prepared for aftershocks. Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause

additional damage and may bring weaken structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first

hours, days, weeks, or even months after the quake.

Help injured or trapped persons.

Give first aid where appropriate.

Do not move seriously injured persons unless they are in immediate danger of further injury.

Call for help.

Listen to a battery-operated radio or television for the latest emergency information.

Remember to help your neighbors who may require special assistance--infants, the elderly,

and people with disabilities.

Stay out of damaged buildings.

Return home only when authorities say it is safe.

Use the telephone only for emergency calls.

Clean up spilled chemicals or other flammable liquids immediately. Leave the area if you

smell gas or fumes.

b. Lighting & Thunderstorm:

Before

Thunderstorm is invariably accompanied by lightning A single stroke of lightning has 125,

000, 00 volts of electricity. That‘s enough power to light a 100-watt light bulb for more than 3

months, or enough to seriously hurt or to skill someone. Know what steps to take in the event

of an oncoming thunder storm & lightning. Lightning is something you should not be careless

about, so seek a safe shelter immediately! Be warned, lightning can and does strike just

about any object in its path. When you see lightning, follow these safety rules.

Indoors

Stay or go indoors If you hear thunder, don‘t go outside unless absolutely necessary. Stand

clear from windows, doors, and electrical appliances.

Stay away from anything that could conduct electricity. This includes electric, lines, Electric

Instruments, wires etc and phones Unplug appliances well before a storm strikes – never

during.

Don‘t use any plug-in electrical instruments. If lightning strikes your building they can conduct

the charge to you.

Don‘t use the telephone during the storm. Lightning may strike telephone lines outside. Use

the telephone only for emergencies quickly. Avoid contact with piping including sinks, baths

and faucets.

Outdoors

When outdoors, seek shelter from lightning! Buildings are best for shelter, but if no buildings

are available, you can find protection in a cave, ditch, or a campus. Trees are not good cover.

Tall trees attract lightning. Never use a tree as a shelter.

Stay in your vehicle if you are travelling, vehicles gives you excellent lightning protection. Get

in a hard topped car.

If you can‘t find shelter avoid the tallest object in the area. If only isolated trees are nearly,

your best protection is to crouch in the open, keeping twice as far away from isolated trees

are high. Avoid areas that are higher than the surrounding landscape.


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. Don‘t use metal object outside. Keep away from metal objects including bikes, electric or

telephone poles, fencing, machinery etc.

Get out of the water. Immediately get out and away from pools, lakes, and other bodies of

water.

When you feel the electrical charge – if your hair stands on end or your skin tingles- lightning

may be about to strike near you. Immediately crouch down and cover your ears. Do not lie

down or place your hands on the ground.

Victims of lightning shock are administered CPM (Cardio pulmonary resuscitation) i.e.

artificial respiration, if necessary. Seek medical aid.

c. Heavy Rain:

Stay out of the basement.

Stop all jobs outside.

Heavy rain many times accompanies high-speed wind. Stop all work at height.

Disconnection power supply to all electrical Machines in open yards.

Cover all JBs\DBs where chances of water coming to it are there.

Keep Gumboot, Raincoat and umbrellas ready.

Keep all dewatering pumps ready in working order.

Move valuable objects upstairs only if safe to do so, without straining yourself

Keep yourself indoors and away from rivers and creeks

Stay away from low/lying areas

Avoid walking through a waterlogged area on foot; you can get swept away easily.

Assemble everyone inside shelters or buildings.

Close windows and blinds.

Evacuate rooms that might bear the full force of the wind

Avoid enclosures that have long roof spans.

Keep the office radio tuned to a local station for current advisory information

9.1 GENERAL

Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis (CBA) is an analytical way to make an educated decision

regarding the commencement of an industrial activity or similar trade/commercial/infrastructure

activity. This involves a comparison of the costs of an action with considerations of the benefits

associated with that action. CBA assists the regulators to evaluate the benefits and challenges

imposed by the upcoming activity in commercial terms with respective to the impact on the

environmental scenario such as human wellbeing, quality of life and environmental wellbeing.

An important component of a CBA is a base situation which is a situation when no changes take

place. All decisions are then compared to the base situation. Once the base and a relevant time

period are established, benefits and costs can be calculated in terms of human and environmental

well-being. In this case, a benefit is defined as anything that increases human well-being, and a

cost is anything that decreases it. CBA aims to maximize economic efficiency at a point where

marginal benefits and marginal costs are equal.

9.2 APPLICABILITY OF CBA AND SUMMARY

During the scoping/ToR stage, no recommendation of environmental cost benefit analysis was

suggested by the appraisal committee. Hence, conducting a detailed CBA is deemed not necessary

for this particular project.

10.7 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

Greenbelt areas have been proved to be an ideal place for diversified flora and fauna and it will

improve air quality within premises, act as barrier for noise propagation and also add aesthetic

beauty of the industrial area. KSFPPL proposes to develop 5788 m2 (33%) greenbelt area of total

land i.e. 17380 m2. The company will develop green belt along the periphery of the plant site and in

common premises available outside the company premises after consultation with horticulture

expert. Domestic species suitable for the local climatic conditions, perennial and evergreen trees,

Air pollution resistive plants will be considered to be planted in the proposed greenbelt area.

The following points will be considered for selection of plants species to be grown:

Greenbelt absorbs both gaseous as well as particulate pollutants to a great extent. Thus,

removes/reduce pollutant from the atmosphere. For absorbance of gases, the duration of the

foliage should be longer.

Characteristics of tree/plants including shapes of crowns considered necessary for effective

removal of dust particles.

Greenbelt/Plant species having good root system will be selected, so that soil erosion rates

10.8 RESOURCES CONSERVATION

10.8.1 Rain Water Harvesting (RWH)

Rain Water can be harvested either storing in containers for ready use or charged into soil for

withdrawal later i.e. ground water recharging. KSFPPL has decided to installed Rain Water

Harvesting system to prevent runoff and to help reduce fresh water consumption. Storm water


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. network will be designed throughout the site for collection of roof top as well as internal runoff

during the monsoon season. Pipeline and storm water drainage will be connected/ diverted to water

harvesting area without any contamination or after removing impurities i.e. leaves, floating

materials, birds drop out etc. The main elements of rain water harvesting systems are catchments,

conduits and storage facility either above the ground or under the ground. During rainy season, the

rain water will be collected from roofs in collection tank having an 5 Kl capacity and the collected

water will be used for industrial activities. During rainy season, the rain water will be collected from

roofs through closed pipes or separate drain channel. Typical rain water harvesting pit diagram is

given in Figure 10.3.

Figure 10.3: Typical Rain Water Harvesting diagram

Average Rainfall: 679 mm

Roof top area available for RWH: 3604 m2 + 1510 m2 +540 m2 +848 +150 m2 = 6652 m2

Rain Water that can be harvested: (6652) * (0.67) * (0.8) = 3565 m3

Paved area/open area available for rain water harvesting: 4290 m2

Rain Water that can be harvested: (4290) * (0.67) * (0.5) = 1437 m3

Greenbelt area available for rain water harvesting: 5788 m2

Rain Water that can be harvested :( 5788) * (0.67) * (0.3) = 1163 m3

Total Rain Water that can be harvested in Monsoon season = 6165 m3

The effectiveness of the drainage system depends on proper cleaning of drainage pipes/channels

etc. Regular checking before and during the monsoon will be done to see that none of the

drains/drainage facilities are clogged and are efficient to collect the rainwater under rain water

harvesting program. The clogged drains will be cleaned up immediately on report of any clogging or

blockage. This checking and cleaning will be meticulous during the monsoon season, especially if

heavy rains are forecasted.

Rain water harvesting tanks will be provided for collection of rain water and rain water will be used

for floor washing purpose in future.

i. PM10 59.1 – 86.2 µg/m3

ii. PM2.5 32.1 – 48.8 µg/m3

iii. SO2 10.4 – 16.7 µg/m3

iv. NOx 15.8 - 25.1 µg/m3


ambient air quality of studied locations is good as all the results of studied parameter are well

within the limit. This interpretation relate to the test data obtained during survey for particular

locations only. There is very less no. of industry and numbers of investors have planned to install

the industries, considering the probable impact due to upcoming industries, it is suggested that

proper air pollution control measures must be adopted by the industry.





interpreted that noise levels are within the standard norms prescribed by MoEF & CC. Looking

towards the increase in noise generating sources it is suggested that there is need to apply noise

reducing devices at noise generating sources and generate public awareness.


i. pH 7.54 – 7.80






Based on soil analysis data it is concluded that soils are normal to saline from salinity view point

and non-sodic as ESP is < 15 at the site. The soils are low to medium in nitrogen, low in

phosphorus and high in potassium. The levels of total Fe, Cu, Cr, B and Zn are within the safe

limits. However, for successful greenbelt development liberal quantity of organic manure (50

tons/ha) and double the quantity of recommended doses of N, and P and half the dose of K

fertilizers should be applied. The soil at the project site requires amelioration. Apply acid forming

amendments like sulphur/iron pyrite for removal of excess sodium from the exchange complex

with provision of adequate drainage. The soil should be periodically monitored for EC, pH and

ESP.

4. Ground Water

i. pH 7.10 - 7.82

ii. TDS 1012 – 4718 mg/L








qualities of studied locations meet with the drinking water standards as per IS 10500: 2012

except Vilayat and Ankot village and these water sources can be used in drinking, washing,

bathing and irrigation purpose. Total Hardness and Chloride in the water sample for Vilayat and

Ankot village do not confirm the norms. Water sample of Vilayat and Ankot village should not be

used in drinking but it can be used in all other domestic purposes. These interpretations relate to

the sample tested for particular location only. To save the ground water from contamination and

improving the quality, rainwater harvesting and ground water recharging may be helpful.

5. Surface Water

i. pH 7.01 - 7.94

ii. TDS 262 – 962 mg/L


iv. DO 4.6– 5.0 mg/L

v. BOD 4 – 8 mg/L

Based on test result data comparison study, it is interpreted that River water quality does not

meet with drinking water norms as per IS 10500:2012. Results of COD, BOD and Iron have been

found more than expected value which indicates that water has been contaminated with organic

matter. It may be due to directly or indirectly contamination with sewage and effluent. This water

should not be directly used in drinking purpose but it can be used in drinking after conventional

treatment followed by disinfection. This water can be used in irrigation and other domestic

purposes.


The most commonly spotted bird species of this area were Cattle Egret, Intermediate Egret,

Black-winged Stilt, Red-wattled Lapwing, Rock Pigeon, Eurasian Collared-Dove, Spotted Dove,

Chestnut-headed Bee-eater, Bank Myna and Common Myna. All the birds are included in

schedule IV. Among the reptiles Oriental garden lizard was common. Among mammals Black rat

was common. There is a good population of schedule-II species like Herpestes edwardsi (Indian

grey mongoose) and Naja naja (Indian cobra) as food chain is interlinked in the biological

environment. Dominant flora of the study region is Prosopis juliflora and acacia species. Area is

not rich with floral diversity. Rosa (Rose), Gossypium (Cotton) and Cajanus cajan (Tur) are

majorly cultivated by the farmers of the majority villages. Natural vegetation of study area is in

degraded condition and wild mammal‘s density is also very low. No endangered or threatened

species were observed during the survey.

7. Socio Economic

Literacy rate of the study region is from 57.04% to 82.55%. On the basis of survey for literacy

rate data it is interpreted that there is need to promote educate more and more people. Almost all

the villages have more than 50 % people as non-workers.

Impacts on land environment, air environment, water environment, noise environment, biological

environment, socioeconomic environment and risk and hazard is been introduced in the chapter with

their mitigation measures for both during construction as well as operation phase. Matrix study and

its representation has also been carried out and briefed in chapter. Total Cumulative Score for

various Environmental Parameters without mitigation measures is - 92 which is adverse impact

during construction phase. Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters with

mitigation measures is +11 during construction phase which is not appreciable beneficial impact.

Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental Parameters without mitigation measures is -84

during Operation phase which is adverse impact. Total Cumulative Score for various Environmental

Parameters with mitigation measure is +48 not appreciable beneficial impact during operation phase.

Air modeling study is also been introduced in the chapter showing maximum and minimum GLC in

the surrounding areas. Stock Yard will be provided for storage of raw materials and products. Proper

upkeep and maintenance of vehicles and APCM will reduce the impact on air environment. Unit will

developed more than 33% of greenbelt within the premises. A budget of Rs. 1.50 Crores as capital

for EMP will be allotted. Positive impact is envisaged on Socio economic environment. Proper PPEs

will be provided to all the workers. From the impact matrix table, it is observed that without mitigation

measures the scoring of construction phase is -48. After taking adequate mitigation measures impact

reduces to +49, which is a not an appreciable adverse impact. it can be concluded that the overall

negative impacts from various activities on different environmental parameters is negligible with

proper EMP in place.

benefit to this area.

11.10 COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS

During the scoping/ToR stage, no recommendation of environmental cost benefit analysis was

suggested by the appraisal committee. Hence, conducting a detailed CBA is deemed not necessary

for this particular project.

11.11 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

The main purpose of EMP is to minimize the identified potential environmental impacts to be

generated from the proposed project and to mitigate the consequences. During construction phase

materials will be transported through covered trucks. Green belt will be developed to reduce noise

impacts. Construction activities will be carried out during day time only. Regular water sprinkling will

done to reduce PM concentration in the atmosphere. PPEs will be provided to workers and first aid

facilities shall be kept at designated locations during construction phase.

During operation phase the industry will maintain comprehensive environment management plan in

place for the proposed unit which shall covers all the environment protection measures to mitigate

improvised environmental impact. There will be flue gas emission from FO fired boiler in the form of


Draft EIA/EMP Report for Proposed Chemical Fertilizer Manufacturing Plant of SSP/TSP/Phosphoric Acid with Production Capacity 1,90,000 TPA at Saykha, Bharuch, Gujarat. PM, SO2 and NOx. Adequate stack with 30 meters height will be provided to both the boilers. From

process vent process emission will be generated and of three stage ventury scrubber will be

provided as APC to scrub Sulphur dioxide, Hydrogen Flouride, and other gases generated from the

process. Separate 30 meters height of vent will be provided to the process reactors. Management of

wastes shall be done as per Hazardous and other waste (Management and Trans boundary

Movement), Rules 2016 of Environment Protection Act, 1986. To treat the sewage generated due to

domestic activities will be disposed through STP. All the effluent water from cooling towers bleed,

boiler blow down etc shall be recycled and utilized fully in the SSP / TSP Plants for processing. No

water from factory premises shall be discharged outside factory premises hence it will be a ZERO

effluent discharge unit. A capital Budget of Rs. 3.00 Lakhs and Rs. 50,000/- per annum as

recurring cost will be allocated for Occupational Health and Safety. Approximately Rs. 95.00 Lakhs is

been allocated for following ESC activities for next five years. The personnel shall be provided

training from a certified agency and thereafter, hands on training shall be imparted with a stipend of

Rs.10,000 per month by the proponent. KSFPPL proposes to develop 5788 m2 (33%) greenbelt

area of total land i.e. 17380 m2. The company will develop green belt along the periphery of the plant

site and in common premises available outside the company premises after consultation with

horticulture expert. Approx. 1810 Nos. of trees and varieties of local shrubs will be planted within

next five years. Rs. 2.00 Lakhs/annum is been allocated as recurring cost for greenbelt

maintenance. Total Rs. 150.00 Lakhs/annum is allocated for Environmental control

measures/Environmental management plan. Capital cost of EMP estimates based on cost of

wastewater treatment facility, air pollution control equipments, waste management facility, greenbelt

development & management plan, safety measures and other components of the EMP shall be

implemented along with the commissioning of the proposed project.

11.12 CONCLUSION

Proposed project is located in GIDC Saykha Industrial Estate and would not have any considerable

impact on environment with efficient mitigation measures implemented. The waste generation in

form of gas (flue and process), effluent and solid waste may have impacts on environmental

parameters but the proponent has planned and installed most efficient technologies for prevention

of emission and treatment of effluent. Further, the solid/hazardous waste will be disposed off

separately. Hence there would not be any considerable impacts on environment. With the

implementation of the mitigation measures and EMP, the proposed project activities will have

positive beneficial effect on the local population, economic output and other related facilities viz.

employment, development of business, transportation etc. Rapid risk assessment including

emergency response plan and DMP has been prepared to handle any sort of emergencies.

Hence looking to the overall project justification, process, pollution potential and pollution prevention

measures /technologies installed by proponent, environmental management activities of proponent;

it has been concluded that the proposed project would not have any considerable impacts on

environment as well as socio-economic and ecological conditions of the project area. Hence

proposed project is considered environmentally safe.

ACGIH TLV-TWA (2006) = 0.025 mg respirable quartz dust/m3 OSHA PEL (8-hour TWA) = (10 mg respirable dust/m3)/(percent silica + 2) NIOSH REL (8-hour TWA) = 0.05 mg respirable dust/m3

Section 3 - HAZARD IDENTIFICATION Potential Health Effects Relevant Routes of Exposure:

Eye contact, skin contact, inhalation, and ingestion. Effects Resulting from Eye Contact:

Exposure to airborne dust m ay cause im mediate or delayed irr itation or inflam mation. Eye contact by large amounts of dry powder or splashes of wet gypsum dust may cause eye irritation. Such exposures may require immediate first aid (see Section 4) and medical attention to prevent damage to the eye.

Effects Resulting from Skin Contact: Direct contact may cause irritation by mechanical abrasion. Effects Resulting from Inhalation:

Gypsum may contain trace amounts of free crystalline silica. Prolonged exposure to respirable free silica can aggravate other lung conditions and cause silicosis, a disabling and potentially fatal lung disease.

Exposure to gypsum dust may cause irritation to the moist mucous membranes of the nose, throat, and upper respiratory system. It may also leave unpleasant deposits in the nose.

Effects Resulting from Ingestion:

Although small quantities of dust are not known to be harmful, ill effects are possible if larger quantities are consumed.

Carcinogenic potential: Limestone is not listed as a carcinogen by NTP, OSHA, or IARC. It may however, contain trace amounts of substances listed as carcinogens by these organizations. Crystalline silica, which is a component of limestone, is now classified by IARC as known human carcinogen (Group I). NTP has characterized respirable silica as "reasonably anticipated to be [a] carcinogen".

Medical conditions which may be aggravated be, inhalation or dermal exposure:

Other Toxic Effects on Humans:Extremely hazardous in case of inhalation (lung corrosive). Very hazardous in case of skin contact (corrosive, irritant,permeator), of eye contact (corrosive), of ingestion, .


Special Remarks on Chronic Effects on Humans:Mutagenicity: Cytogenetic Analysis: Hamster, ovary = 4mmol/L Reproductive effects: May cause adverse reproductive effectsbased on animal data. Developmental abnormalities (musculoskeletal) in rabbits at a dose of 20 mg/m3 for 7 hrs.(RTECS)Teratogenecity: neither embryotoxic, fetoxic, nor teratogenetic in mice or rabbits at inhaled doses producing some maternaltoxicity

Special Remarks on other Toxic Effects on Humans:Acute Potential Health Effects: Skin: Causes severe skin irritation and burns. Continued contact can cause tissue necrosis.Eye: Causes severe eye irritation and burns. May cause irreversible eye injury. Ingestion: Harmful if swallowed. May causepermanent damage to the digestive tract. Causes gastrointestial tract burns. May cause perforation of the stomach, GIbleeding, edema of the glottis, necrosis and scarring, and sudden circulatory collapse(similar to acute inhalation). It mayalso cause systemic toxicity with acidosis. Inhalation: May cause severe irritation of the respiratory tract and mucousmembranes with sore throat, coughing, shortness of breath, and delayed lung edema. Causes chemical burns to the repiratorytract. Inhalation may be fatal as a result of spasm, inflammation, edema of the larynx and bronchi, chemical pneumonitis,and pulmonary edema. Cause corrosive action on mucous membranes. May affect cardiovascular system (hypotension,depressed cardiac output, bradycardia). Circulatory collapse with clammy skin, weak and rapid pulse, shallow respiration, andscanty urine may follow. Circulatory shock is often the immediate cause of death. May also affect teeth(changes in teeth andsupporting structures - erosion, discoloration). Chronic Potential Health Effects: Inhalation: Prolonged or repeated inhalationmay affect behavior (muscle contraction or spasticity), urinary system (kidney damage), and cardiovascular system, heart(ischemic heart leisons), and respiratory system/lungs(pulmonary edema, lung damage), teeth (dental discoloration, erosion).Skin: Prolonged or repeated skin contact may cause dermatitis, an allergic skin reaction.
