Details of Environmental Monitoring

2.1 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING

2.1.1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations

Ambient air quality monitoring has been carried out at 1 location; near Main Gate of the project site. This

will enable to have a comparative analytical understanding about air quality and the changes in the air

environment in the study area with respect to the condition prevailing. The location of the ambient air

quality monitoring stations is given in Table 2.1.

2.1.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology

Monitoring was conducted in respect of the following parameters:

Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM 2.5)

Particulate Matter 10 (PM 10)

Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)

Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx)

Carbon Monoxide (CO)

Ammonia (NH3)

Lead (Pb)

Benzene (C6H6)

Benzo(a)pyrene

Ozone (O3)

Arsenic (As)

Nickel (Ni)

The duration of sampling of PM 2.5, PM10, SO2 and NOx was 24 hourly continuous sampling per day and

CO was sampled for 8 hours continuous, thrice in 24 hour duration monitoring. The monitoring was

conducted for one day at the location. This is to allow a comparison with the National Ambient Air Quality

Standards.




The air samples were analyzed as per standard methods specified by Central Pollution Control Board

(CPCB) and IS: 5182. The techniques used for ambient air quality monitoring and minimum detectable levels

are given in Table 2.2.

Fine Particulate Sampler instruments have been used for monitoring Particulate Matter 2.5 (PM2.5 i.e. <2.5

microns), and Respirable Dust Sampler was used for sampling Respirable fraction (<10 microns), gaseous

pollutants like SO2, and NOx. Bladder and Aspirator bags were used for collection Carbon

Monoxide samples. Gas Chromatography techniques have been used for the estimation of CO.

2.2 AMBIENT NOISE MONITORING

2.2.1 Ambient Noise Monitoring Locations

The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to assess the present ambient noise levels near

project site due to various construction allied activities and increased vehicular movement. A preliminary

reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to identify the major noise generating sources in the area.

Ambient noise monitoring was conducted at 1 location as given in Table 2.6.

Table 2.6 Details of Ambient Noise Monitoring Stations


1 N1 Near Main Gate

2.2.2 Methodology of Noise Monitoring

Noise levels were measured using sound level meter.

Noise level monitoring was carried out continuously for 24-hours with one hour interval starting at 06:00

hrs to 06:00 hrs next day. The noise levels were monitored on working days only. During each hour Leq

were directly computed by the instrument based on the sound pressure levels. Monitoring was carried out at

‘A’ response and fast mode.

2.3 GROUND WATER QUALITY MONITORING

2.3.1 Ground water Quality Monitoring Locations

Keeping in view the importance of ground water, sample of ground water was collected from the project

site for the assessment of impacts of the project on the groundwater quality.

Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various parameters to compare

with the standards for Ground water as per IS: 10500 for Groundwater sources. The details of water sampling

locations are given in Table 2.8.

2.3.2 Methodology of ground water Quality Monitoring

Sampling of ground water was carried out on April, 2014. Samples were collected as grab sample and

sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative sample were properly added to

preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured

for appropriate temperatures. Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys. Sample

collected for metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological analysis

was collected in sterilized glass bottles.

Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in and then they were

transported by road to Vardan Enviro Lab, Gurgaon for further analysis. Proper care was taken during packing

and transportation of samples. All the samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for

different parameters. After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.

The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard Methods for the Examination

of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The

analytical techniques and the test methods adopted for testing of ground water are given in Table 2.9..

2.3.4 Discussion on Ground water Quality in the Study Area

The ground water quality in the project area is observed to be alkaline in nature with total alkalinity is 345

mg/L against desirable limit of 200 mg/L, however, alkalinity is less than the permissible limit of 600 mg/L.

Total dissolved solids in the drinking water is 420.50 mg/l which is also less than the limit of 500 mg/L.

However, remaining parameters are within the CPCB prescribed limits.

2.4 SOIL MONITORING

2.4.1 Soil Monitoring Locations

The objective of the soil monitoring is to identify the impacts of ongoing project activities on soil quality

and also predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of various constructions allied activities.

Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil quality has been carried out.

To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the Physico-chemical characteristics

of soils were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected points and analysis of the same. Single

sample of soil was collected from the project site for studying soil characteristics, the location of which is

listed in Table 2.12.

2.4.2 Methodology of Soil Monitoring

The sampling has been done in line with IS: 2720 & Methods of Soil Analysis, Part-1, 2nd edition, 1986 of

American Society for Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America. The homogenized samples were

analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics (physical, chemical and heavy metal concentrations).

The soil samples were collected in the month of April, 2014.

The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for Physico-chemical parameters.

The heavy metals have been analyzed by using Atomic Absorption Spectro-photometer.
