1.4 SCOPE OF EIA

The scope of the study includes detailed characterization of the status of environment in an

area of 10 km radius around M/s. T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. for identifying environmental

components, viz. air, noise, and water, land, biological and socio-economic. Under the scope of

EIA, it is envisaged

To assess the present status of air, noise, water, land, biological and socio-economic

components of environment

To identify and quantify significant impacts of various operations on environmental

components

To evaluate existing and proposed pollution control measures

To prepare Environmental Management Plan (EMP) outlining additional control

technologies to be adopted for mitigation of adverse impacts

To evaluate existing Environmental Quality Monitoring Programme and suggest

strengthening of existing monitoring Programme keeping in view pollution potential

of the proposed project.

1.5 METHODOLOGY OF EIA

Keeping in view the nature of activities envisaged, size of the existing industries in the region

and various environmental guidelines available, it was decided to cover an area of 10 km

radius from the center of the M/s. T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. for the purpose of

environmental impact assessment studies.

FIGURE: 1.1 SITE LAYOUT PLAN



[1-5]

1.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT

Ambient air quality status with respect to parameters like Particulate Matter having size less

then 10µg (PM10), Particulate Matter having size less then 2.5µg (PM2.5), Sulphur Dioxide

(SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) and Hydrogen Fluoride (HF) has been established. PM10,

PM2.5 SO2, NOx, and HF were monitored on 24 hourly average bases. Gaussian dispersion

model was developed and used to predict likely changes in ambient air quality due to proposed

project expansion. The data on meteorological and microclimatic parameters collected at

project site during winter season was used for mathematical modeling. The prediction exercise

was carried out for PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, and HF. Based on the results of the prediction

exercise mitigation measures are suggested.

1.7 NOISE ENVIRONMENT

Noise levels were measured in the premises of M/s. T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd. and several

locations in the human settlements around the plant at different times of the day using precision

noise level meter. Noise levels are predicted using empirical mathematical equations to

estimate probable increase in noise levels due to proposed project expansion.

1.8 WATER ENVIRONMENT

Information on water resources (Ground/Surface) was collected. Parameters of prime

importance were selected under physical, chemical inorganic, chemical organic, nutrient and

heavy metal categories to describe baseline environmental status. Samples were collected at

selected locations in and around the plant to determine the surface and ground water quality.

Water requirement for various units was also estimated.

1.9 LAND ENVIRONMENT

Surface soil samples from the plough layer depth (15-20 cms) were collected for determination

of the physico-chemical properties of the soils. The baseline data was used in assessing the

impacts of the project on land environment.



[1-6]

1.10 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

Study of vegetation was carried out within 10 km radius around M/s. T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt.

Ltd. site. Observations were made at different sampling points and qualitative as well as

quantitative analysis of the vegetation was carried out. Presence of various types of animal

species was recorded. Field observations were used for calculating indices. Information related

to social forestry, tree plantation programmes, indigenous fauna, endangered animals was also

collected. For assessing the biological and bacteriological quality, observations were made

with the help of bacteriological, phytoplankton, zooplankton counts and different indices were

calculated. Species of fishes available in the study area were also recorded.

1.11 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Existing baseline status of the socio-economic profile of the study area with reference to

demographic structure, provision of basic amenities, health status incorporating morbidity

pattern, economy, social welfare programmes in the nearby rural areas as well as infrastructural

facilities to the employees being implemented by the M/s. T. J. Agro Fertilizers Pvt. Ltd.

management was studied. A socio-economic survey in villages located within 10 km radius

study area was also undertaken to study the people's perceptions about the proposed plant

operations as well as their opinion and aspirations about the proposed project activity.

1.12 THE EIA PROCESS

The EIA process comprises of the following phases:

o Screening

o Scoping and consideration of alternatives

o Baseline data collection

o Impact prediction

o Assessment of alternatives, delineation of mitigation measures and environmental impact

statement

o Public hearing

o Environment Management Plan

o Decision making

o Monitoring the clearance conditions



[1-7]

1.13 STATUTORY REQUIREMENT OF EIA

Every anthropogenic activity has some impact on the environment. More often it is harmful to

the environment than benign. However, mankind as it is developed today cannot live without

taking up these activities for his food, security and other needs. Consequently, there is a need

to harmonize developmental activities with the environmental concerns. Environmental impact

assessment (EIA) is one of the tools available with the planners to achieve the above-

mentioned goal.

The objective of EIA is to foresee the potential environmental problems that would arise out of

a proposed development and address them in the project's planning and design stage. The EIA

process should then allow for the communication of this information to:

o The project proponent;

o The regulatory agencies; and,

o All stakeholders and interested groups.

EIA integrates the environmental concerns in the developmental activities right at the time of

initiating for preparing the feasibility report. In doing so, it can facilitate the integration of

environmental concerns and mitigation measures in project development. EIA can often

prevent future liabilities or expensive alterations in project design.

Curing & Storage

Product Packing & Storage

Pollution Control

Raw Material Section:

Main raw material rock phosphate is available in the form fine powder / coarse chips. The proposed

plant is based on the use of fine powder, which is shipped and stored in loose condition in the go down.

The go down is land yard having retaining walls on both sides. Rock phosphate is heaped in the yard. A

hopper and conveyor will be provided in the go down for mechanical handling of material.

The rock phosphate of required fineness will be obtained from the source, hence grinding will not be

required. The ground rock powder will be fed into G.R. feed hopper, for feeding the rock to acidul ation

section through rock train.

Rock train consisting of Rotary valve Screw conveyors, Elevator, Surge hopper and Rotary feeder is

used for feeding ground Rock phosphate to the Acidulation Section



[2-17]

Acidulation Section:

In this section processing takes place. This section consists of mixer and den (Main & R.P.) and acid

feeder. The mixer is a horizontal blending machine having mixing and knee ding section. Ground rock

phosphate and dilute Sulphuric acid is continuously fed into Mixer in fixed proportion. Due to

continuous agitation by rotating paddles. First two stage of reaction take place over here and the mass is

converted into thick slurry. A particular temperature and suction is maintained over here, for proper

reaction. The slurry is discharged by mixer directly into the other slow moving machine called den.

Den retains the slurry for advancement of reaction. Retention time of material in this section can be

changed based on the process need. A slow speed cutter is installed at the discharge end of den. The

den cutter chops the solid material into fine pieces, before discharging it from den. The material is

discharged by den continuously & slowly up to 85-90 % of reaction is completed at this stage.

The material being discharged by den is Green Super Phosphate. The balance reaction continues & is

completed slowly, in heap in next few days. Den discharged is shifted & heaped in Curing yard. The

material is directly discharged over rubber conveyer. A set of conveyer belts is installed in go down for

shifting heaping of Green Super Phosphate at different location in go down for curing. The Green

Super reshuffled 2 to 3 times & cured.

Acid Section:

Dilute Acid is required for reaction with rock phosphate. Hence dilute Sulphuric acid (an industrial

waste of various chemical plants) or concentrated Sulphuric Acid is procured from the nearby

industries. Simple diluter may be installed for diluting conc. Acid if required. This section will consist

of acid storage & acid service tank which will be installed in tank form area. Acid feed tank will be

kept in plant area Brought out acid will be unloaded in service tank & then transferred into the storage

tank acid will be transported to acid feed tank form service tank thought pump & pipe line acid will be

pumped from acid feed tank to acid feeder which will feed the required quantity into the mixer as per

ratio and excess quantity will be returned to the feed tank through respective pipe line scrubber liquor

feed tank and inlet / discharge pipeline will be provided to feed Scrubber liquor into the mixer in preset

proportion.



[2-18]

Curing and Storage:

The semi-finished goods, Green Super Phosphate will be kept in green SSP curing yard. The material is

directly discharged over green super belt, be den A set of cross and inclined belt conveyors is installed

for conveying the discharge of green super belt over the shuttle belt conveyor. The shuttle belt is used

for heaping green super Phosphate at deferent locations in curing go down. The green super is

reshuffled 2 to 3 times and cured with in 12-15 days.

Cured material is heaped and checked for quality after approval from QCD material required for

captive consumption is shifted to N.P.K. plant/granulation plant or powder packing section.

Product Packing Storage & Shipment:

The material for direct sale as single super Phosphate in granular or powder from is further processed

material is shifted to granulation plant for converting the powder into granules of desired size and

packed in HDPE bags and kept in go down for dispatch to dealers.

Material to be sold in powder from is screened in a rotary screen and fine powder is fed into packing

hopper for packing. The oversize grid is shifted to granulation plant for use after crushing in chain /

hammer mill.

The screened material is filled in bags & stitched after weighment and kept in day stores. The day

store’s material is shifted to product after quality check. Batch number is also marked over here before

shifting.



[2-19]

Pollution Control

In Process:

During acidulation fluorine content of rock phosphate is evolved as SiF4 gas. Fluorine bearing gases are

evolved during the reaction are to be removed before discharge to atmosphere. The gases evolved

during reaction in mixer and den is sucked by a high suction blower & is scrubbed in circulating water.

This section consists of H.V. jet scrubber, ventury water scrubber, cyclone separator, I.D. fan &

Chimney for sucking the gases from point of generation & discharging to atmosphere at height of thirty

Five meter, from ground level after due cleaning. All the specially designed equipment of the section is

lined with different anti-corrosive materials. This scrubber liquor, namely H2SiF6, is kept in lined pits

for settling. The solid silica in the liquor is separated here & kept. The clear liquor is kept in storage

tanks & is used in process for manufacturing of Green Super Phosphate.

The H2SiF6 liquor can also be used for manufacturing other Fluorine based chemicals, such as Sodium

Silico Fluoride. The silica can be sold or used as filler after sun drying.

As the liquor generated is recycled & used in process hence there will not be any liquid discharge from

the plant.

In Hot Air Generator:

Flue gas generated due to burning of bio-coal is allowed in to Dual Cyclone Dust Separator, where

mostly Dust particle is settled down due to gravitational flow & only clean Gas is generated after ID

fan & Chimney. Unit has plan to install Bag Filter after Dual Cyclone Separator in series.

The granulated fertilizers technology which is basically developed by tenancy valley authority know as

TVA design is adopted in our plant where in the different fertilizer materials in solid form are stored in

the different process bins from which proportionate quantities are drawn by volumetric method &

delivered to rotary drum granulator through bucket elevator. Injecting about 10 to 12 % moisture

moistens the materials. Due to moistening & rolling action of the material in the rotary drums granular

are formed. The move excess moisture the material is fed to Co-current rotary dryer. Hot air evaporates

the excess moisture & some is carried away to atmosphere through dust collector.

The hot granular coming out from the dryer are fed to rotary collars where the temperature of the

granular are brought down to ambient temperature by outer air draught the dried & called granulate

screened to separate out over size, under size & finished product material. The over sized material is

crushed & returned to the granulator along with under sized recycled material for reprocessing.

Finished product material that is in the range of 1 mm to 5 mm is taken to the bagging go down by

graving chute. The material is packed in 50 Kg HDPE bags & duly machine stitched.

CHAPTER 3 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT

[3-1]

3.1 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS

The baseline status of the environment quality in the vicinity of the project site serves as the

basis for identification, prediction and evaluation of the impacts. The baseline environmental

quality is assessed through field studies within the impact zone for various components of the

environment, viz. air, noise, water, and land and socio-economic. The baseline environmental

quality has been assessed in the winter season (December 2010 – February 2011) in a study

area of 10 km radial distance from the project site.

Knowledge of baseline environmental status of the study area is useful for Impact Assessment

Process of assessing and predicting the environmental consequences of the significant actions.

Significant action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effect on the

health of the biota including flora, fauna and human being, socio-economic conditions, current

use of land and resources, physical and cultural heritage properties and biophysical

surroundings.

Baseline data generation of the following environmental attributes essential in EIA studies

have been studied and included in the report.

1. Meteorology

2. Ambient Air Quality

3. Ambient Noise Quality

4. Surface and Ground water Quality

5. Soil Quality & Geological Features

6. Land use pattern

7. Biological Information

8. Socio-economic status survey



[3-2]

3.2 ESTABLISHMENT OF IMPACT ZONE

Deciding whether a proposed action is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects

is central to the concept and practice of EIA. Before proceeding for baseline data generation, it

is important to know the boundary limits and framework, so that the data generated can be

utilized for the effective and accurate prediction of the environmental impact assessment of the

proposed project.

3.3 METEOROLOGY

Air borne pollutants is dispersed by atmosphere motion. Knowledge of these motions, which

range is scale from turbulent diffusion to long-range transport by weather systems, is essential

to simulate such dispersion and quality of impacts of air pollution on the environment. The

purpose of EIA is to determine whether average concentrations are likely to encounter at fixed

locations (know as the receptor), due to the given sources (locations and rates of emission

known), under idealized atmospheric conditions. It is imperative that one should work with

idealized condition and all analysis pertaining to air turbulence and ambient air or noise

pollution should be done with meteorological conditions, which can at best be, expected to

occur.

3.4 MICRO-METEOROLOGY OF THE AREA

The climate of the district is characterized by hot summer and general dryness except in the

coastal region. The year is divided into four seasons. The cold season December to February

followed by the hot season from March to May, June to September is South-West Monsoon

season and October and November form the post monsoon season. The Arabian Sea and the

Gulf of Cambay in the west and the forest-covered hills in the east soften the rigors of climatic

extremes, consequently reducing the temperature and render the climate more pleasant and

healthy.



[3-3]

3.4.1 Temperature Details

Mean daily maximum temperature is recorded in the month of May is 36.0 °C. Highest mean

temperature, recorded in May is 42.0 °C. From October to December, both day and night

temperatures begin to decrease rapidly. January is generally the coldest month, with mean

morning temperature of 10.0 °C. Mean daily minimum temperature of about 13.3 °C is

recorded in January.

During the post monsoon months of October and November, day temperatures remain between

24.0 – 32.0 °C. In winters, i.e. December, January and February, average day temperature

remains between 18.0 – 26.0 °C.

3.4.2 Relative Humidity

Most humid conditions are found in the monsoon, followed by post monsoon, winter and

summer in the order. Mornings are more humid than evenings and humidity ranges from a high

of 75-100% in monsoon mornings to a low of 5-61% in summer evenings. During post

monsoon season, in morning humidity remains between 61-99 % and in the evening it remains

between 19-82 %.

Nearest IMD station from the project site is Surat Airport, Surat.

3.4.3 Rainfall

The total rainfall in year is observed to be 1083.5 mm. Distribution of rainfall by season is 0.0

mm in winter (December, January, February), 0.0 mm in summer (March, April, May), 1029.9

mm in monsoon (June, July, August, September) and 53.6 mm in post monsoon (October,

November).

3.6 AIR ENVIRONMENT

3.6.1 Design of Network for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Locations

The air quality status in the impact zone is assessed through a network of ambient air quality

monitoring locations. The tropical climatic conditions mainly control the transport and

dispersion of air pollutant emissions during various seasons. The baseline studies for air

environment include identification of specific air pollutants prior to implementation of the

project. The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study requires monitoring of baseline air

quality during one season. Accordingly, air quality monitoring was carried out in the winter

season from Dec. 1, 2010 to Feb. 28, 2011. The baseline status of the air environment is

assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance programme, which is planned based on

the following criteria:

• Topography / terrain of the study area

• Regional synoptic scale climatologically normal

• Densely populated areas within the region

• Location of surrounding industries

• Representation of regional background

• Representation of valid cross-sectional distribution in downwind direction

3.6.2 Reconnaissance

Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air environment in the study

region. Five nos. of Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) locations were selected based

on guidelines of network sitting criteria. All AAQM locations were selected within the study

area of 10 km radial distance from the project site.



[3-9]

3.6.3 Methodology for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with guidelines of Central

Pollution Control Board (CPCB) of June 1998 and National Ambient Air Quality Standards

(NAAQS) of CPCB of May 1994. Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) was carried out

at Five locations during winter season. The maximum numbers of sampling locations were

selected close to the project site and in the study area of 10 km radial distance around the plant

site. The monitoring was carried out 24 hours a day twice a week per location in the study area

except the project site, where continuous monitoring was carried out. Twenty Four numbers of

observations were taken at each monitoring location except the project site. The locations of

the different stations with respect to its distance and direction from project site are shown in

Table- 3.3 and Figure-3.2 respectively.

measures to control it.

Following are the sources of fugitive emission

- Material Storage

- During process

- Material Handling

In material storage & material handling, when fugitive emission occurred to its threshold limit,

automatic censor alarms and operator in shift will immediate start blower to suck fugitive gases

and simultaneously start scrubber also.

Than after he remove that material from that area and send to repacking or use in process.

In process: operator Incharge will handle unit processes & its operation to minimize risk of

fugitive emission.

(3) Operation of Bag Filter:

The dust laden gases enter the pre- separation plenum

1. Where they meet the low baffle plate

2. The baffle wall protects the sleeves against the direct flow. The air velocity is reduced in

the pre- separation plenum. The coarse dust fraction leaves the air flow and falls into the

dust collection hopper.

3. The gas laden with the fine remaining dust enters the filter plenum.

4. After deflection by the baffle plate.

5&6. The sleeves (6) fitted over supports (5) receive the flow in the outside. The fine dust is

deposited on the outside of the filter sleeves.

7. The air penetrates through the filter fabric into the inside of the sleeves and rises into the

clean air plenum.

8. From here it can either be led out of the doors.

9. Or returned to the workshop. The control of the cleaning process for the filter sleeves

depends either on the differential pressure or an infinitely electronic timer. The dust

particles clinging to the filter sleeves are removed through short, sharp compressed air

impacts. Compressed air at 5-7 bar shoots out of electronically activated diaphragm

valves into the corresponding opened distribution line and from there into the nozzles.

The cleaning stream causes a strong counter pressure in the sleeve.

10. The sleeve, which until then was passed against its support, is suddenly extended to its

full size. The particles of dust are blown off. Small dust is blown off. Small dust

particles, which had penetrated the filter fabric, are loosened by the short, but strong

cleaning flow, and pressed back to the dust- laden side.

When the diaphragm valves have closed, the cleaned filter sleeves are once again ready

for the normal filter process. All rows of sleeves are cleaned in a fixed sequence. The

cleaning time is so short that practically always the whole filter surface of the filter is

available. Moreover the necessary compressed air quantity in relation to the flow volume

is the same up- and down- line of the filter.

The compressed air impacts are controlled by an electronic timer. Impacted regularity

can be continuously set with the electronic timer, depending on the type and amount of

dust.

3.7 WATER ENVIRONMENT

3.7.1 Design of Network for Water Sampling Locations:

The water quality status in the impact zone is assessed through a network of water quality

sampling locations. The baseline studies for water environment include identification of

specific parameters of the pollutants prior to implementation of the project. The Environmental

Impact Assessment (EIA) study requires monitoring of baseline water quality during one

season. Physico-chemical parameters have been analyzed to ascertain the baseline status of

fresh water in the existing surface water and ground water bodies. Samples were collected once

during the study period for winter season on December 2010 & February 2011.

The baseline status of the water environment is assessed through a systematic water quality

surveillance program, which is planned based on the following criteria:

Densely populated areas within the region.

Location of the surrounding industries.

Representation of regional background.

3.7.2 Reconnaissance:

Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of the air environment in the

study region. Five nos. of water sampling locations were selected within the study area of 10

Km radial distance from the project site.

3.7.3 Methodology for Ground Water and Surface Water Sampling:

The ground and surface water sampling was carried out as per the prescribed sampling

guidelines and analysis standards of CPCB for water sampling and analysis. Ground water

sampling was carried out at 5 different locations & surface water sampling was carried out

from 6 different sites out of which 4 sampling locations were nearby pond and 2 samples was

taken of river Purna and Ambika river

There will be only domestic waste water generation which will be allowed in u/g soak pit

system. There shall be no industrial waste water generation. Thus, there shall be no any

possibility towards contact of waste water with soil or land neither it impacts ground water

strata.



[3-45]

The details of surface and ground water sampling locations are given in Table 3.8. And

sampling locations of water quality monitoring are shown in Figure 3.9. The Physico-chemical

characteristics of the different water samples are present in the Tables 3.9 (A-C)

pH of ground water samples varies from 7.54 – 8.1 DO are found in the range of 2.50 – 4.9

mg/L. Mg. hardness (as CaCO3) varies from 123-250 mg/L. Chloride and Sulfates are found in

the range of 18.2-41.6 and 6.06-50.1 mg/L respectively. TDS are found in the range of 488-

1280 mg/L.

3.8 AMBIENT NOISE MONITORING

Industrialization, urbanization, construction activities etc., have a direct bearing on the noise

level of the surrounding environment pertaining to such activities. Noise intensity beyond

certain tolerable limits may interfere with communication in work, apart from causing

annoyance and health hazards. Impact of noise on environment depends on various factors

such as intensity distance from source, time of exposure and nature of activities, machineries,

traffic etc. Hence, it is necessary to measure the ambient noise levels in order to determine the

environmental impact so that appropriate measures could be adopted if needed to abate noise

pollution.

The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to establish the baseline noise

levels, and assess the impact of the total noise that is expected to be generated during the

construction, and operation of the proposed project activities. Noise monitoring has been

undertaken for 3 hr interval at each location.

Noise monitoring was carried out to establish ambient noise levels in the study area. The

details of the sampling stations are given below in the Table 3.10 and their locations area are

shown in Figure 3.10

LAND USE PATTERN, BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT AND SOCIO-ECONOMIC

ENVIRONMENT

3.10 LAND USE PATTERN

As per the statistical record of census handbook the extent of land area under use for various

activities in study area can be summarized as follows

The likely landuse within the study area is determined. The study area contains forestland,

irrigated agricultural land, unirrigated agricultural land, cultivable wasteland and area not

available for cultivation. There are total of 06 villages’ falls within 5.0 km radius from the

project site. The total area studied is about 10232.1 hectares.

Land use, in general, reflects the human beings activities on land, whereas the word land cover

indicates the vegetation, agricultural and artificial manmade structures covering the land

surfaces. Identification and periodic surveillance of land uses and vegetation covers, in the

vicinity of any developmental activity is one of the most important components for an

environmental impact assessment, which would help determine the impact of the project

development activity on the land use pattern.

The land use classification within a distance of ten kilometers from the project location and the

areas falling under the respective classifications are as per the following Table 3.15 & Figure

3.12 shows its graphical representation.

3.13 PHYSIOGRAPHY

The District Surat forms a part of Gujarat Plain and is further sub-divided in to seven sub-micro

regions namely Khambhat coast, Mangrol Plain, Umarpada Forested Upland, Tapi Basin,

Mindhola Purna Plain, Kalakakara Hills, and Chorasi-Palsana Coastal Plain on the basis of

Topography, climate, geology, soils and natural vegetations.



[3-66]

3.14 FOREST BOUNDARIES

The forest cover is classified based on Forest Survey of India into Dense (> 40% crown density),

open (between 10 to 40 % crown density) and Scrubs (shrubby bush of less than 10 % crown

density). The vegetation classification criterion used for this study area is given as follows:

Dense Vegetation is the lands with forest cover with canopy density of equal or more than 40

percent.

Medium Vegetation is the land with forest cover with canopy density of 10 to 40 percent.

Open Vegetation is the land with forest cover with canopy density less than 10 percent.

Scrubs are the lands generally in and around forest areas, having bushes and/or poor tree growth

chiefly of small or stunted trees with a canopy density less than 10 percent.

3.14.1 Method of Preparation

The vegetation cover for the area of interest has been prepared by extracting the areas under four

different vegetation classification provided by the Forest Survey of India (FSI) based on IRS-ID

LISS III data for the past two years for the State of Gujarat. There is no Reserved Forests and

Protected Forests within the 10 km radius area from project site. The project site and area of

interest have been added for ease of special reference.
