COD (mg/l) 400-500 <60
Suspended Solids (mg/l) 250-450 <10
Oil & Grease (mg/l) 30 <5
Treatment Units:
The STP employs Activated sludge process working on the principle of extended aeration based on Fine
Bubble Diffused Aeration system in secondary treatment followed by tertiary treatment. The treatment
process includes the following unit operations:
Primary Treatment : Oil & Grease separator, Bar screen, Equalization Tank
Secondary Treatment : Aeration tank, Secondary clarifier, chlorine Contact tank
Tertiary Treatment : Multigrade Filter, activated carbon filter and Softener
Sludge Conditioning : Aerobic Digester, Sludge Thickner/filter press
Process Description:
Primary Treatment:
Raw sewage flows through oil & grease separator followed by a bar screen chamber and Equalization
tank. The bar screen is so designed that it can be cleaned manually from outside. Submersible solid
handling pumps are provided in the Equalization tank to pump the collected Raw sewage to the
aeration tank. An automatic level controller is provided in the Equalization tank to turn the pump off at
M/S. DLF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS LTD 2014
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN | SV ENVIRO LABS & CONSULTANTS 13
the predetermined low water level in the tank and to start the pump automatically when water level
reaches the high water level.
Air is introduced in the Equalization tank through submerged air diffusers, to prevent the sewage from
becoming septic during long retention or low load conditions and also keeping the organic matter in
suspension.
Secondary Treatment:
The raw sewage that comes into the Aeration tank is aerated by using Fine Bubble diffusers mounted
in a grid at the bottom of the tank. Facility is made to pull up the diffusers for cleaning, if necessary.
Air is suspended to the diffusers by twin-lobe rotary air blowers located in the plant room. The
aeration system is designed in a way so as to achieve complete mixing of the sludge organisms with
raw sewage in order to maintain a Mixed Liquor suspended Solids (MLSS) concentration between
3,000 and 4,000 mg/l in the aeration tank.
From the aeration tank, this mixed liquor is taken into the clarifier. The liquid in the clarifier tank is
maintained in quiescent condition allowing the stabilized solids to settle at the bottom of the clarifier
for collection.
Part of the settled solids/sludge (activated sludge) is constantly pumped back into the aeration tank by
sludge recycle pumps. This return sludge undergoes further digestion in the aeration tank and also
provides the active organisms needed to digest the incoming raw sewage besides maintaining the
desired MLSS concentration.
The clarifier is provided with an overflow weir to collect the treated effluent and a scum-baffle to
prevent any floating matter from passing out in the final treated water. Treated water from clarifier
over-flows to the Chlorine contact tank where hypochlorite solution is added to disinfect the treated
waste water.
Sludge Conditioning:
Excess sludge from the bottom of the clarifier is taken to adjoining aerobic digester-cum-baffle to
prevent any floating matter from passing out in the final treated water. Treated water from clarifier
over-flows to the chlorine contact tank where hypochlorite solution is added to disinfect the treated
wastewater.
Tertiary Treatment:
The treated and disinfected water from the chlorine contact tank is passed through a Multi-grade filter,
an activated carbon filter and a softener for final storage in a treated sewage water tank. Water from
this tank is used for the cooling towers of the Air-conditioning system and DG /Gen sets and for

horticulture within the premises. Any excess treated sewage, particularly during lean period, like
winter is reused for toilet flushing. However, there may be occasional discharge into municipal sewer
in case of exigency for which “consent” from the concerned state pollution control board is taken.

3.1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN The Environmental Management Plan envisaged for this construction project is described hereunder
with a strong commitment to follow best Environmental practices to reduce the negative implication to
make this project a sustainable development endeavor.
The management action plan aims at controlling pollution at the source level to the possible extent
with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures before they are
discharged.
Environmental management plan aims at the preservation of ecosystem by considering the pollution
abatement facilities at the project inception. In the upcoming modern housing project, pollution
abatement has become an integral part of planning and designs along with techno economic factors.
The different Environmental components that are identified in the assessment chapter are dealt
hereunder with necessary environmental management plan. The emphasis on the EMP development is
on the following:
Mitigation measures for each of the activities causing the environmental impact.
Monitoring plans for checking activities and environmental parameters and monitoring
responsibilities.
Role responsibilities and resource allocation for monitoring.
Following sections describes the environment management plan proposed for construction and
operation phases.
SITE CLEARANCE:
Control of Soil Erosion:
Generally cutting of herbaceous vegetation, during the construction phase results in the loosening of
the top soil.
Vegetation removal shall be minimized to prevent extent of soil erosion.
Vegetative cover shall be re-projected /rehabilitated at the earliest practicable time to minimize
duration & extent of soil erosion.
Control of Noise Levels:
Selection of equipment with less noise generation to be used.
M/S. DLF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS LTD 2014
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN | SV ENVIRO LABS & CONSULTANTS 20
The earth moving equipment shall be periodically checked and maintained for noise levels.
Since the site is more or less even use of these earth moving equipments may not be necessary.
The workers shall be provided with adequate personal protection equipment (PPE) such as ear
plugs to reduce impact of high noise levels.
Control of Dust generation:
The construction activity will result in the increase of SPM concentrations due to fugitive dust.
The site cleared shall be periodically watered to reduce emission of dust particles.
The workers shall be provided with PPE such as nose masks and googles to reduce impact
on health.
3.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT:
As the proposed unit is a construction project, SPM, SO2 & NOX emissions from the operations will be
very less concern. Water sprinkling will be provided through out the complex to control the fugitive
emissions arises if any during construction activity.
Generation of Dust
Pre Construction & Construction Stages
Dust will be generated from transport, construction, and utility operations. The mitigative measure
proposed is water sprinkling of the roads, and covered construction activity so as to ensure the dust
does not fly. The road condition is a major cause of the dust and permanent black top roads will be
provided as far as possible in the construction area. Exposure of labor and employees during
construction will be mitigated by provision of facemasks to employees at dust generating sources.
To reduce level of dust emissions from the crusher and batching plant and other transportation of
materials will be taken up including vehicles delivering loose and fine materials like sand and fine
aggregates shall be covered to reduce spills on existing roads. Water will be sprayed on earthworks,
temporary haulage and detour roads on a regular basis.
During and after compaction of the sub-grade, water will be sprayed at regular intervals to prevent
dust generation. The dust emissions from the vibrating screen at the stone quarries do not exceed the
emission standards set by CPCB by providing covered areas and adopting water sprinkling.
Occupation Stage
The commercial area will have greenery and all roads shall be paved and all slopes & embankments
shall be turned as per best engineering practices.
M/S. DLF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS LTD 2014
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN | SV ENVIRO LABS & CONSULTANTS 21
3.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT & GROUND VIBRATIONS
The major noise levels will be confined to the construction activity while handling concrete mixer and
other consumables. The Leq of eight hours will be within the prescribed standards. Community noise
levels are not likely to be effected due to the proposed green belt development and attenuation due to the
physical barriers.
Construction Stage
The plants and equipment used for construction will strictly conform to CPCB noise standards. Vehicles
and equipments used shall be fitted with exhaust silencers. During routine servicing operations, the
effectiveness of exhaust silencers shall be checked and if found to be defective shall be replaced. The
noise level from any item of plants, such as compactors, rollers, front loaders, concrete mixers, cranes
vibrators and saws shall not exceed 75 dB (A), as specified in the Environmental Protection Rules,1986.
The construction activity within 150 m of the nearest habitation, noisy construction work such as concrete
mixing will be restricted to daytime and there will not be any construction during the nighttime between
9.00 pm and 6.00am. To protect construction workers from severe noise impacts, noise standards of
industrial enterprises will be strictly enforced, and workers shall be provided with personal protection
Equipment (PPE).
Occupation Stage
The Commercial areas adjacent to the proposed wide roads will be checked for noise levels and based on
the results additional mitigation measures will be taken up like double-glazing of windows if necessary.
The major sources of noise are DG sets
DG set will be housed in an area where the access will be restricted.
Acoustic dampeners in foundations and insulators in the interiors will be provided.
Personnel operating DG sets will be provided with ear muffs.
Selection of equipment to ensure that the residual noise level of 75 dB (A).
Noise levels will be checked periodically using a noise pressure level meter.
M/S. DLF COMMERCIAL DEVELOPERS LTD 2014
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN | SV ENVIRO LABS & CONSULTANTS 22
3.4 LAND ENVIRONMENT
The main source of water is ground water. The soils in the area are predominantly clay with high fertility.
The development due to the Project will induce positive changes in the land use in the project Impact area.
However it must be mentioned that the area is already urbanized and the surrounding lands are under
various stages of development. There will be a positive impact on the land use in the impacted area.
Design and Construction stage
The mitigation measures proposed to maintain the physiographic undisturbed or impacted to the
minimum is to maintain the contour levels and to keep the higher contour levels undisturbed. The
lowest levels of contour are undisturbed and are used for construction of high – rise structures. It may
be observed from the cut and fill operation is to use machinery and tippers which have pollution under
control certificate is to use machinery and tippers which have pollution under control certificate, using
water sprinkling of the cut and fill areas, and ensure that natural drainage is not filled with cut
material.
Occupation stage
The change in the physiography of the project site is enhanced by greening program of the central
area.
3.5 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT & SAFETY
A detailed survey was conducted to assess socio-economic aspects of the region. The data collected
from the census book include demographic details, infrastructural facilities, educational status, health
status, medical facilities, agricultural status, cattle population, crop pattern etc.
Social Environment: The proposed project will boost the supply of various daily needs of the people
by various vendors such as vegetable, milk supply etc. thereby improving the economic levels of
vendors.
3.6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING
Regular monitoring of various environmental parameters shall be carried out to ascertain the following
points,
Status of air, noise, water, land pollution within the project and in its vicinity
Generate data for predictive or corrective purpose in respect of pollution and
To assess and monitor environmental impacts periodically.

Construction Stage:
Soil development of areas of greening area shall be taken up during construction stage. No
tree needs to be removed in the zone of construction. Construction vehicles, machinery and
equipment will move or be stationed in the designated area only preferably in the proposed
internal road areas, to prevent compaction of soil.
Green belt has been developing all around the housing project. About 2 m wide all around the
proposed project has been provided for development of trees in two rows. The design of the
greenery will be done in consultation with the horticulturist.
The selection being based on the broad-leafed nature of the trees and its ability to attract birds.
The philosophy behind the green belt development is to improve the ecology and environment
of the surrounding of the plant by extensive afforestation.
Planting scheme has also been chosen keeping in mind the needs of residents during
traditional/festive occasions apart from functional, ecological and aesthetic needs.
PLANT DETAILS
Greenbelt is a set of rows of trees planted in such a fashion, to create effective barrier between
the project and surroundings. The greenbelt helps to capture the fugitive emissions, attenuate
the noise levels in the housing project and simultaneously improving aesthetics of the housing
project. The greenbelt around the housing project compound wall and in the reserve site will
be developed in keeping view of the following objectives.
1. Planting of trees in each row will be in staggered pattern.
2. The short trees will be planted in the first two rows and the tall trees in the outer rows
around the purview of the project site.
3. Since the trunks of the trees are generally devoid of foliage, it will be useful to have
shrubs in front of the tress so as to give coverage to this portion.
4. Sufficient spacing will be maintained between the trees to facilitate effective height of
the greenbelt.
