10. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MANAGEMENT

The purpose of impact management is to:

• ensure mitigation measures are implemented

• establish systems and procedures for this purpose

• monitor the effectiveness of mitigation measures

• act when unforeseen impacts occur

10.1. Impact Mitigation Hierarchy:

PIL follows below mentioned steps during the construction and operation stages of project to

avoid harm to environment

• give preference to avoidance and prevention measures

• consider feasible alternatives to the proposal

• identify customized measures to minimize each major impact

• ensure they are appropriate and cost-effective

• use compensation as a last resort

The impacts on environment due to activities of the project could be broadly divided into two parts: - 1) Impact during project- construction phase

2) Impact during project-operation phase

10.2. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA):

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is a management tool to minimize adverse impacts of

developmental projects on the environment and to achieve sustainable development through timely,

adequate, corrective and protective mitigation measures.

This exercise should be undertaken early enough in the planning stage of projects for selection of

environmentally compatible sites, process technologies and such other environmental safeguards.

Refer the REIMS for EIA reports of PIL Pipeline Projects.

10.3. Environmental Aspect And Impact Assessment (EAIA):

The environmental analysis or environmental aspects and impacts identification process is one of the

most important parts of any Environmental Management System (EMS), as it lays the foundation for

how the management system will run in the future and the environmental improvements it should

address. In basic terms, it will assess environmental risk.

It also could give information on the level and amount of environmental impact, and to give valuable

information on other requirements of the system that might be required, including training needs,

operational control requirements and the setting of objectives and targets within the system.

Refer document no: EWP000-O69-HS02-J00-566 for Environmental Aspects and Impacts Assessment

of PIL Pipeline Projects.

11. AIR EMISSION MANAGEMENT

The air emissions from PIL facilities include combination of point (stack, vents etc.) and non-point

(fugitive) emissions. Following are the sources of air emissions from PIL Operations. Basically sources

are classified into two types. Stacks of GTC, GEG, DEG and Diesel Fire Water Pump are the point

source for air emissions.

HSE&F


REV NO: 04

DATE: 03/10/2019


Nonpoint source pollution can include air emissions the following

a. Vehicles (Hired) used for patrolling

b. Helicopters used for aerial patrolling

c. Dust during pipeline rupture

d. Emissions from flanges, joints, seals, Pressure Safety Valves and blow downs etc.

Unnoticed venting or leakage of Natural Gas, not only contributes to a significant amount of

revenue getting wasted but also loss of national resource. Finding a leak in its early stage saves

the company from draining of valuable resource. Checking at all possible leak points is done

fortnightly as per “LEL checking at all possible leak points in CS, MLV and M&R” procedure

(EWP000-O70-J10-F001).

Measurement of above emission is carryout as a part of Green House Gas (GHG) Emissions

calculations.

12. WATER MANAGEMENT

Water is a finite but widely present resource. Despite its wide presence, water availability, it is a

challenge to provide water of desired quantity and quality at a desired place. Effective water

management is primary goal at compressor stations, MLVs and M&Rs.

Water management in PIL PIPELINE facilities can be achieved through management of

following

a. Water Withdrawal

b. Domestic Waste Water (Sewage)

c. Storm Water Management

12.1. Water Withdrawal

may occurs due to excessive noise. Noise can also damage hearing permanently in the worst

cases. Excessive noise reduces work efficiency, and increases absenteeism.

Thus it is measured through SOP for Sound Level Meter and Noise Survey (EWP000-O70-

J00-S204).

15. GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT

Green belts are created not only for protecting sensitive areas or to maintain ecological balance

but because they also act as efficient biological filters or sinks for particulate and gaseous

emissions, generated by vehicular movements and various industrial activities.

As per environmental clearances of PIL Pipeline, PIL Shall

a. plant a minimum of 10 trees for every tree cut along the pipeline route in consultation with

the concerned DFOs.

16. ENVIRONMENTAL AWARENESS AND TRAINING

Environmental Awareness is important in the protection of the environment. Failure to protect

the environment results in the depletion of natural resources which would subsequently lead to

environmental degradation. It is therefore essential that all employees in a PIL have the relevant

knowledge and appropriate skills to protect themselves and the environment. This knowledge

can only be obtained through environmental awareness training and training should take place

on all employee levels.
