EIA for Proposed Expansion of Butibori Industrial Area (BIA – Phase II), Tehsil Hingna,
District Nagpur, State Maharashtra.
1.0 INTRODUCTION
Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation (MIDC), Nagpur, established in 1992 under MID act 1961
as a premier industrial infrastructure development agency of Government of Maharashtra. The main
objective of MIDC is to setup industrial area for planned and systematic industrial development.
Accordingly, MIDC is developed at Nagpur (Butibori area) which is 25 km from Nagpur in the year 1992.
The total area of existing Butibori MIDC is 2428.14 hectares which covers 16 villages having 2500 +
industrial plots have been carved out, out of which 2000+ industrial plots have been allotted. To encourage
the entrepreneurs, MIDC has constructed 46 work sheds. This industrial estate comprising IT Park,
Apparel Park, and Food Park are developed in the area, remaining area is allotted for other categories of
Industries. MIDC has developed TSDF site for collection and disposal of hazardous waste in an area of
29.7 ha with design capacity to accept 60,000 tons per annum for 20 years. At present only 10,000 tons
per annum waste is received.
Need and Justification of the Project
Need of project
Existing Butibori industrial estate was occupied to the extent of 75%, hence in 2006, MIDC planned for the
expansion of existing Butibori MIDC. The expansion of Butibori industrial estate will offer plots to large,
medium and small industrial units including commercial plots. To meet demand of industrial estates and
more industry to come, MIDC, Nagpur has proposed to enhance the existing Butibori industrial area in an
area of 275.58 Ha.
Justification of project
MIDC, Nagpur has proposed to expand its existing Butibori industrial area, Tehsil Hingna, District
Nagpur, Maharashtra.
Development of industrial area will be according to MID Act. The existing Butibori MIDC area is fully
developed and occupied by various industries and for further development there is no space left for the
industries likely to come. Hence, there is a need for expansion industrial area to be developed for
upcoming prospective industries for overall economic growth of the state as a whole. The selection of site
is carried out considering the environmental features. Three sites were selected and the comparative
statement with respect to environmental features are considered and the one site (site one) is selected
considering the advantages of all environmental features. The details regarding site selection are given in
EIA report Chapter-5.
1.1 PROJECT LOCATION
MIDC, has proposed expansion of existing Butibori industrial area incorporating area from the villages
Mandva and Bhansuli, Tehsil Hingna, District Nagpur, State Maharashtra. The site is situated at

Wastewater generation
The wastewater generation from proposed expansion industrial area is estimated to be 2230 m3/d
(Table 3) and the domestic generation will be 552 m3/day from proposed development. The treated
effluent from the common effluent treatment plant will be used on site for landscaping and flushing
purposes. However, it is planned to use treated effluent for HRTS. The HRTS that will be developed
in 35 ha of land available with MIDC at in a lower contour in phase wise. Apart from this, rainwater
harvesting will be carried out within the site for artificial recharge of groundwater. The wastewater
collection system will be close conduit system (pipeline system) which will be corrosion and chemical
resistant pipeline. There will be intermittent inspection, collection chambers and pumping system if
required. The pipeline network for the collection of wastewater from individual industries to CETP will
be designed by competent consultants. This will be developed by MIDC.
The domestic water requirement is estimated to be 690 m3/d. The domestic waste generation will be 552
m3/d. For disposal of domestic waste, individual industries will make provision for sending it to septic tank/
soak pit. There will not be any disposal of domestic waste into nearby water body. However provision will
be made by individual industries to use treated domestic waste for plantation. MIDC will check this and
inform to MPCB regarding any ambiguity in the disposal of domestic waste. MIDC will insist on the zero
discharge policy. So there will not be any discharge in any aquatic system.
Manpower requirement
The development will generate direct and indirect employment 15000 together.

3.6 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Salient observations of the survey/ study area
House pattern: Types of housing varied from thatched to pucca houses. 40% houses were in
pakka form, 30% in semi pakka and 30% houses were observed in kaccha form.
Employment: Main occupation in the study area was agriculture and its allied activities e.g.
Cattle rearing, dairy farming and labour work. Agricultural activity was mainly depending on
monsoon season. Other income generation sources of the area were labour work, small
business; private jobs etc. The labours were getting daily wages in the range of Rs 100-250,
depending on type of work they set. During discussion, it was found that due to lack of irrigation
facilities in summer season farmers hadn’t any work for 2-3 months, its indicates unemployment
Fuel: The primary sources of cooking fuel were firewood, wood chips, cow dung cake, coal etc.
Very few villagers were using LPG facility. It was observed that, most of the households had LPG
connection but they prefer cooking on wood/coal because it costs less money/easily available in
villages
Main crops: The principle crops grown in agricultural farm were wheat, soyabean, pulse, gram,
cotton etc.
Language: Official language as well as mother tongue of the study area was Marathi. In addition
Hindi language was also spoken by large population
Migration from other states: A person is considered as migrant when he/she is enumerated at a
different place than his/her previous place of residence. During survey it was found that local
people not migrate for employment. However people from nearer states e.g. Chhattisgarh,
Madhya Pradesh come for employment in Butibori industrial area
Sanitation: Toilet facility is one of the most basic facilities required in a house. It was observed
that more than 70% of the households were not having toilet facilities in their houses. There was
no proper drainage line in the villages. Open defection was in practice in most of the villages
Drinking water Facilities: During the survey, it was observed diverse sources of drinking water
supply in villages. Major source of drinking water in the study area was ground water (hand
pumps, tap water and dug wells). Near about (30%) villages availing treated water through Gram
panchayat water supply through tap water. During discussion, it was revealed that in summer
season water shortage faced by most of the villages
Education facilities: Most of the villages were available education facilities in the form of
Aanganwadi and primary schools. Higher education facilities were available in the range of 5-10
km. Colleges and other diploma courses were available at Butibori and Nagpur city. Primary
school buildings were found in good condition with toilet facility. It was observed that ZP schools
are providing better facilities and environment to rural students
Transportation facility: For transportation purpose auto, jeep, private bus and S.T. bus services
were available in the study area; however villagers reported that transportation facilities were not
frequently available. Private vehicles like bicycles & motor cycles were also used by villagers for
transportation purpose
Road connectivity: Most of the roads were pucca and connected fair enough to villages. More
than half the respondents reported that roads they frequently used were semi pucca
Communication facilities: For communication purpose mainly mobile phones, news papers &
post offices were present in the villages
Medical facilities: There were few health care facilities available in the study area. In some of the
villages primary health sub centers were available. Hospitals and other better health centers were
available in the range of 5-10 km at town/city place
Electricity: All villages were availing electricity facility for domestic use, 30% villages availing
electricity for agricultural purpose.
Market facility: Study area was predominantly rural. In villages, small shops were available for
daily need things. Weekly market facility was available in some villages. Wholesale markets were
available at Butibori town, Taklaghat, Kanholibara etc.
Recreation facilities: Television and radio were the main recreation facilities in the study area.
News paper/magazine facilities were found in small towns
4.0 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
Prediction of impacts on air environment was carried out by employing a mathematical model. In the
present case, Industrial Source Complex 3 (ISC3) dispersion model based on a steady state
Gaussian plume dispersion, designed for multiple point sources for short term has been used for
predicting the ground level concentrations and developed by United States Environmental Protection
Agency [USEPA].
The maximum incremental ground level concentrations (GLCs) for PM10, SO2 and NOx due to
proposed developmental activities were carried out. The predicted 24 hourly maximum concentrations
for PM10, SO2 and NOx were found to be 0.27µg/m3, 0.29 µg/m3 and 4.2 µg/m3 respectively in
proposed scenario. The cumulative concentration levels (Ambient + predicted incremental rise)
revealed that the concentration levels for PM10, NOx and SO2 likely to be encountered in the
operation of the project are respectively occurring at a distance of about 1.0 km, 1.0 km, 1.0 km in the
SW, W direction with a concentration levels (cumulative) of 65.09 µg/m 3, 15.2 µg/m3 and 30.6 µg/m3
respectively which is well within the NAAQM levels prescribed by CPCB. Hence it is inferred that
considering cumulative concentration levels, the pollution load exerted due to proposed project will be
insignificant.
The majority of local vegetation at project site is of seasonal shrubs, herbs and grasses and naturally
grown predominant plant species like Acacia nilotica (Babul), Annonasquamosa (Sitaphal), Acacia
catechu (Khair), Acacia leucociphala (Hiwar), Ziziphusmauritiana (Bor), Butiamonosperma (Palash) &
Prosopisjuliflora (vedibabool), Azadirachtaindica (Neem) etc. will be removed during site preparation.
Efforts will be made in order to minimize the tree cutting during development stage of the project.
Tree cutting will be compensated by the development of green belt around the periphery of the
project site, approach road and also along the periphery of proposed individual industries within the
proposed expansion of Industrial Area. The total area 90.94 ha (33%) will be covered by plantation.
The existing ecological conditions in the project area have been established based on review of
secondary information and by conducting detailed primary ecological field surveys during winter
season of 2014-15. The study revealed that, there are no wildlife sanctuaries or wildlife protected
areas within 10 km study area from the project site. There is no identified migratory route/path of birds
or major wild fauna. Birds observed during the study period are locally common in observation. The
major wildlife confined to the RF of the study area. During consultative approach with the
locals/villagers, it has come to know that, Nilgai, Wildboar, Sabhar, deer are often raid to the adjacent
agriculture area of RF and destroyed the crops during harvesting period. The proposed project does
not envisage any significant impact on wildlife in the study area.
growth of the state as a whole. The selection of site is carried out considering the environmental
features.
Three sites were selected and comparative environmental features are considered and based on the
suitability of the features for project, suitable site is selected. Criteria for selection of site are
presented in chapter 5 of EIA report.
Selection Technology
Application of technology will be based on types of industries likely to come in MIDC area. The industries
will procure the technology based on the types of industry they want to be set up which will be eco-friendly
and will not produce or emit wastewater generation and gases respectively. This will be taken care to
maintain the atmospheric pollution within the specified norms that will specified by SPCB.
The dependency, procurement and application of technology will be based on nature of industry to be
developed in the area.
6.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAMME
Environmental monitoring will be carried out for monitoring of important and crucial environmental
parameters to assess regularly the status of environment during operations. The monitoring program

Accidental risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an
event or sequence of events resulting into fire, explosion or toxic hazards to human health and
environment. Risk Assessment (RA) provides a numerical measure of the risk that a particular facility
poses to the public. It begins with the identification of probable potential hazardous events at an
industry and categorization as per the predetermined criteria.
MCA analysis
MCA analysis encompasses defined techniques to identify the hazards and compute the consequent
effects in terms of damage distances due to heat radiation, toxic releases, vapour cloud explosion
etc.
Approach to Disaster Management Plan
Onsite Emergency or disaster is an unpleasant sudden event of such a magnitude which may cause
extensive damage to life and property, due to in-plant emergencies resulting from deficiencies in
operation, maintenance, design and human error; natural calamities like flood, cyclone and
earthquake; and deliberate and other acts of man like sabotage, riot, war etc.
It is important for every industry to have a well-documented Emergency Plan to meet any major
untoward incident or disaster. In view of this, an approach to Disaster Management Plan (DMP) to
tackle the emergencies in the industries of MIDC. The details regarding risk assessment and disaster
management plan are given in Chapter Seven of EIA report.
Public Consultation
According to EIA Notification 2006 and its subsequent amendments, the proposed project comes
under the project activity of 7 (c) & (a), Industrial estates /parks, complexes/area export processing

1.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT
MIDC, Nagpur, proposed expansion of Butibori industrial area. MIDC acquires and develops industrial
plots with all the basic amenities and make them available to needy entrepreneurs. There are three major,
four mini industrial estates and three growth centres in the district.
Butibori Industrial area: Maharashtra Industrial Development Corporation has established its area
in 1992 which is 28 Km from Nagpur on highway No.7. The total area planned for development is
estimated to be 2428.14 hectares which covers 16 villages having private land of 865 cultivators.
2502 industrial plots have been curved out, out of which 2086 industrial plots have been allotted. To
encourage the entrepreneurs, MIDC has constructed 46 work sheds. This industrial estate has been
given five star status. IT Park, Apparel Park and Food Park are proposed in the area. For phase II of
the MIDC industrial estate, the process for acquisition of 275.58 hectares of land has been
completed.
Hingna Industrial Area: Established in 1962, it is located 7 Km. from Nagpur city. In this Industrial
area, several engineering Industries, Electrical based Industries, food based industries, etc. are
located. Maharashtra state Electricity Board has established its two sub-stations to supply electricity
to this MIDC, established telephone facilities by way of electronic exchange. To facilitate the
industrialists and workers, amenities like post office, banks, police station, petrol pumps, canteen,
Bus services etc. are available in this area. At present no land is available for further planning in this
MIDC area.
Software Technology Park at Nagpur: MIDC is now concentrating its efforts on developing
environment friendly Software Technology Parks to cater the needs of the IT industry. It has
developed more than 18 IT parks in the state, out of which one IT Park is developed at Parsodi
Nagpur City and other at Sadar, Nagpur City. The main objective for developing Software Technology
Park at Nagpur is data communication facility of computer, single window clearance for Government
licence i.e. code nos, custom, Green Cards, etc. and assistance for liaison with Govt. agencies and
other departments. In the above Software Technology Park, different types of premises are readily
available. In addition to this, space has been provided for Nodal Officer and the staff for software
technology Park.

2.7 PROPOSED SCHEDULE FOR APPROVAL AND IMPLEMENTATION
The proposed developmental project from concept stage to commissioning would take about
03 years. Since the project is being set up by the expert personnel, the planning and implementation
of the project is not much difficult. Services of experienced consultants are being utilized for detailed
planning, preparation of techno-economic feasibility report and other associated activities like
discussions with financial institutions, phasing of capital expenditure etc. However, the
implementation primarily will depend upon the statutory environmental clearances.
2.8 PROPOSED DEVELOPMENTAL ACTIVITIES
Apart from the development of proposed expansion of Butibori MIDC area, MIDC is planning to install
common effluent treatment plant (CETP) to treat and manage the industrial effluents that will be
generated from individual industries to protect ecology from deterioration. Existing CETP at Butibori
Industrial Estate is located in 5 ha with capacity of 5 MLD. A CETP of capacity 2.0 MLD is also
proposed for expansion project in association with the industrial association. For CETP the role of
MIDC will be as a facilitator and will allot land to industrial association to set up CETP and will
contribute financial share as per policies and guidelines.
Details of CETP
CETP (2.0 MLD) is proposed for the treatment of effluent generation from the industries that will be
established in the proposed developed areas. However, zero liquid discharge (ZLD) norms shall be
enforced on the industries to avoid any discharges from the industries.
Treatment Scheme
The CETP will be designed as a battery of four streams and each stream shall be capable to handle
additional 33% load in case of exigencies. The piping shall be designed to handle such additional
hydraulic load while the aeration grid shall be designed to provide additional 33% oxygenation as and
when required. Further, the collection system has a network of control valves with flow meter on
discharge line of each industry and if required, the flow from each unit can be reduced or staggered
to limit the influent to the CETP. The flow control system shall be based on SCADA and can be
implemented in a very short time from the CETP control room. Moreover on noticing the upset in the
quality of final treated effluent it will be diverted to equalization tank instead of the final discharge
during the shot duration of the upset. Due to such a provision, providing large capacity guard pond
can be avoided.
(A) Preliminary Treatment
The untreated influent will reach the CETP through gravity main. The gravity main will discharge the
untreated influent to mechanical fine screen (MFS) at about 8 m below ground level. The MFS will be
used to remove floating and suspended matters larger than 8 – 10 mm in size in order to protect
subsequent equipment. The screen shall be either bar rack or perforated plate with a scrapper
mechanism or screw type as determine best during detail engineering. The post-screened
wastewater will flow under gravity to wet sump of the pumping station, and then pumped out to CETP
treatment units.
The equalization shall be in two-stage and there shall be four equalization tanks working in parallel in
each stage. The influent flow will be divided equally between the four tanks by a flow distributor. The
first four parallel equalization tanks will have a hydraulic retention time of 4 hours and shall be a
constant volume tank to achieve some uniformity in terms of quality. These tanks will be designed like
clarifiers and shall have bottom scrapper as well as top skimmer, to remove heavier suspended solids
and floating oil or scum. This provision has been made based on experiences at other CETPS where
heavy solids deposition occurs in equalization tank, disturbing the plant operations severely. The
second stage will be in series to the first and shall also have four equalization tanks, but larger ones
with 8-hour retention time. This will further help in achieving homogeneity and also ensure constant
flow to subsequent treatment units, achieved by pumping. The second stage equalization tank will
have floating propeller mixers to achieve homogenization.
(B) Primary Treatment
The equalized effluent shall be pumped to primary physico-chemical treatment system, again
designed as battery of four systems. This treatment would include coagulation, flocculation and
gravity settling to remove suspended and colloidal solids. The related chemical dosing system shall
be versatile in terms of type of coagulant and will be able to handle various chemicals such as lime,
ferrous sulphate, ferric chloride, alum, polyaluminium chloride and high molecular-weight
polyelectrolytes. The coagulant will be dosed in an above ground flash mixer equipped with medium
speed stirrer while the flocculants will be dosed into a flocculation well within the primary
clariflocculator. The effluent with flocculated solids will enter the settling zone of the primary
clariflocculator. The settled solids will be scrapped off by a scrapper mechanism to the central sludge
pit and pumped out periodically to sludge dewatering system, while the overflow will be collected in a
peripheral launder and be led under gravity to secondary biological treatment.
(C) Biological Treatment
The clarified supernatant will overflow by gravity to the advanced biological treatment system. The
proposed bio treatment configuration shall be latest international technology based on Completely
Mixed Extended Aeration Suspended Growth Activated Sludge System, which is most rugged and
efficient system compared to other systems such as lagoons, bio-towers fluidized bed or moving bed
reactors, etc. While conventional system with a well-designed aeration tank, large secondary clarifier
and activated sludge recycle pumps can be employed to provide the desired performance.
Conventional plants have problems with settlement of biomass and maintaining desired biomass level
within the aeration tank is often difficult because of hindered settling phenomenon experienced in
gravity clarification. The floc formation in conventional systems is poor due to vigorous aeration
breaking the flocs and trapping air bubbles within. Carryover of biomass from the clarifier is higher in
conventional systems, resulting into loss of acclimatized biomass. Conventional plants are prone to
maintenance due to moving parts such as sludge scrapper and recycle pumps being in contact with
corrosive effluent.
2.9 INFRASTRUCTURE AVAILABILITY
2.9.1 Amenities Areas
5% of the total area of land so sub-divided, shall be reserved for “Amenity Area”. Following uses shall

(Table 2.7) and the domestic generation will be 552 m3/day from proposed development. The treated
effluent from the common effluent treatment plant will be used on site for landscaping and flushing
purposes. However, it is planned to use treated effluent for HRTS. The HRTS that will be developed
in 35 ha of land available with MIDC at in a lower contour in phase wise. Apart from this, rainwater
harvesting will be carried out within the site for artificial recharge of groundwater. The wastewater
collection system will be close conduit system (pipeline system) which will be corrosion and chemical
resistant pipeline. There will be intermittent inspection, collection chambers and pumping system if
required. The pipeline network for the collection of wastewater from individual industries to CETP will
be designed by competent consultants. This will be developed by MIDC.

The domestic water requirement is estimated to be 690 m3/d. The domestic waste generation will be 552
m3/d. For disposal of domestic waste, individual industries will make provision for sending it to septic tank/
soak pit. There will not be any disposal of domestic waste into nearby water body. However provision will
be made by individual industries to use treated domestic waste for plantation. MIDC will check this and
inform to MPCB regarding any ambiguity in the disposal of domestic waste. MIDC will insist on the zero
discharge policy. So there will not be any discharge in any aquatic system.
2.10.4 Power Requirement
Power requirement during construction and operation phase will be 50 MW. Power supply will be
from Maharashtra State Electricity Distribution Co. Ltd MSEDCL and MSETCL.
Emergency power
Backup source of DG sets are proposed in case of power failure. CPCB approved 4 DG sets ranging
50-500 KVA will be provided.
2.10.5 Raw Material Availability
Raw materials required like sand, bricks, stone during construction of road, it will be procured from local
The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of water tends to be readily
available on the construction site. Water can be applied using water trucks, handheld sprays and
automatic sprinkler systems. Furthermore, incoming loads can be covered to avoid loss of materials
in transport, especially if materials are transported off-site.
Operational Phase
To mitigate the impact of pollutants from diesel generator sets and vehicular traffic during operational
phase, the following measures are recommended for implementation:
D.G set air pollution control measures
Vehicle emission controls and alternatives
D.G. set air pollution control measures
Use of good quality fuel with low sulphur content and PUC certification
Periodic maintenance of DG sets as per defined schedule of manufacturer
Maintaining adequate stack heights
Vehicle emission controls and alternatives
Flow of Vehicle - Sudden acceleration or de-acceleration of vehicles produces more pollution than a
vehicle maintaining at a constant speed. Smoother flow of traffic within the parking area and premises
of residential area would ensure lesser pollution from the vehicles.
Entry and Exit of Vehicles –To ensure least interference from incoming and outgoing vehicles, it is
suggested that entrance and exit points of the vehicles should be different.
Dedicating separate entrance for rehabilitation buildings will reduce interference in relatively more
vehicular movement in the sale plot.
Dedicating at least one entry and exit to pedestrians will reduce interference in vehicular movement in
the Sale plot.
Anti-Idling – The parking in the area will carry signs warning the vehicle driver against idling within the
parking lot.
Traffic Management Team – A team of trained staff will be appointed for monitoring traffic movement
inside the parking space and at entrance and exit points of the sale plot premises.
Water Consumption
A combination of water saving appliances and water management measures will be planned in all the
toilets in the buildings. The message of water conservation will be spread to all users by way of
awareness campaigns and circulars. Specific measures that will be implemented include the
following:
Management Measures
Promote awareness on water conservation and reducing water wastage.
Quick fixing of leaking taps, pipes and toilet cisterns;
Sweep with a broom and pan where possible, rather than hose down external areas;
Minimize water use in gardens by the following measures:
Drip irrigation system can be used for the lawns and other green area. Drip irrigation can save
between 15-40% of the water use, compared with other watering techniques
Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones to match precipitation
heads and emitters.
Use of low-volume, low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas.
Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture sensors to account for
seasonal variations, and calibrate them during commissioning.
Selecting a drought resistant grass, and using lawn chemicals and fertilizer sparingly also
reduces watering needs.
Reduce toilet cistern volume in single flush models. Following is a list of fixtures Offered by use
of efficient plumbing fixtures which also carry a credit each under Green building innovative
wastewater technology, water use reduction by 20% and water use reduction by 30%.
Rain water harvesting and reduce surface runoff
Rainwater harvesting can serve as a solution to the water problem in the water crises area by
capturing the runoff. Rainwater harvesting helps in utilizing the primary source of water an prevent
the runoff from going into sewer or storm drains, thereby serving dual purpose Making water available
for future use and reducing the load on treatment plants as well as other service lines.
Recharging water in to the aquifers help in improving the quality of existing groundwater through
dilution. Rainwater harvesting comprises of two components:
Storing rain water in underground reservoirs for beneficial use in future
Rain water harvesting for artificial recharge of ground water.
Amount of water that can be effectively harvested is called the harvesting potential of the site.
Efficiency of rainwater harvesting and recharging ground water can be increased by following
methods:
Energy Consumption
Effective measures will be taken to minimize the energy consumption in the following manner:
All buildings are adequately spaced, so that sunlight, natural ventilation is not disturbed or
hindered in any of the building due to another building.
The building will be designed in such a way that the public areas can be cooled by natural
ventilation.
Energy efficient appliances, such as PL lightings, will be used for street lighting.
Alternate switching arrangement for Common Area.
Use of timer for common and ext lights.
Solar energy for street lighting and hot water system.
By using the above, we shall be able to save 20 to 25 % of electrical energy.

Baseline Status
a. Day Time Noise Levels (Leq day)
Background noise levels were monitored in the villages within the study area. The noise levels at all
locations ranged between 44.0 dB (A) to 61.7 dB (A). At village Khadki and Kanholi, day time noise
level was 53.8 dB(A) and 51.9 dB(A) respectively which was well within the prescribed limit of 65 dB
(A) for commercial area. At Pipaldhara village and Katandhara village, day time noise level was 53.8
dB(A) and 51.3 dB(A) respectively which was higher the prescribed limit of 50 dB (A) for silence zone
due to unusual noise of animals during monitoring at Pipaldhara village and unexpected kids shouting
at Katandhra village near Rotatry Green Club Primary School, Katandhra.
Noise levels in industrial area near highways was 60.0-63.0 dB (A) during day time which was well
within the prescribed limit of 75 dB (A) for industrial area.
b. Night Time Noise Levels (Leq night)
The night time noise levels ranged between 37.1 dB (A) to 52.9 dB (A). At residential locations, noise
levels ranged between 37.1-41.6 dB (A). At commercial area, noise levels were observed to be 42.9-
47 dB (A) and in sensitive areas noise level ranged between 38.0-42.7 dB(A) which was well within
the prescribed limit of 40 dB (A) for silence zone, at Pipaldhra village is shows high due to
unexpected activity.
Background noise levels near industrial area ranged between 57.0 dB (A) during night time which
was well within the prescribed limit of 70 dB (A) for industrial area.
c. Noise Levels Due to Traffic in the Study Area
The National highway (NH-7) is passing through this region and having major traffic activities.
Agglomeration and congestion of traffic was observed on main roads and at the crossing of important
roads near petrol pumps, market and industrial areas. The vehicular traffic was monitored at different
crossings within the study area during peak hours.
During survey period, the traffic density at these junctions were observed to be very high. The noise
levels monitored at some of the major traffic junctions along with their peak traffic density are listed in
Table 3.11.

Observations:
1) Width of the roads was found less than the requirement for accommodating the daily plying traffic,
particularly, during day time. Heavy traffic on the main roads passing through the villages or
townships during day time, contribute significantly the noise levels in the nearby residential areas.
During night time traffic density was found to be less, therefore, noise was mainly due to industrial
activities.
2) The major commercial activities in the region are the local market places. Other than regular
human activities, the traffic, particularly, industrial goods vehicles are the main contributors for noise
in these areas.
3) The noise levels were recorded at some hospitals and colleges/schools. High noise levels were
observed a few places because of parking besides the main road sides.
4) Most of the industries existing in the nearby industrial areas have not developed sufficient green
cover surrounding them. Hence, attenuation was not observed in the study region.
found to be very low and within the specified standards. The overall surface water quality was found
to be safe physico- chemically for drinking and domestic purposes.
3.4.1.2 Groundwater Quality
The physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater are presented in Table 3.14 and compared with
the IS-10500 standards.The analysis results indicated that the pH ranged between 7.19 to 8.16 which
was well within the specified standard of 6.5 to 8.5.
The TDS was ranging from 298 to 442 mg/l. Total hardness was found to be in the range of 114.63 to
278 mg/l. The fluoride concentrations were varied between 0.11-0.32 mg/l which were within the
acceptable limit of 1 mg/l. The nitrate and sulphate were found in the range of 2.57 to 4.11 mg/l and
11.57 to 31.2 mg/l respectively. Calcium varied between 62.29 to 219 mg/l. The heavy metals content
(i.e. As, Al, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Fe, Mn, Zn and Hg) were found to be within permissible limits.
3.4.2 Bacteriological Characteristics
Coliform group of organisms are indicators of faecal contamination in water. Water samples were
analysed for total and faecal coliform deploying membrane filtration technique. Bacteriological quality
of surface and groundwater in winter season is presented in Tables 3.13 and 3.14 respectively.
Bacteriologically, all surface water samples were faecally contaminated and chlorination is needed
before use for drinking purpose whereas some of the groundwater samples were also found faecally
contaminated and need chlorination before use for drinking purpose.
Overall surface water quality was found to be physico-chemically suitable however bacteriologically
contaminated and need chlorination before consumption. The ground water quality in the study area
was mineralized with respect to total dissolved solids, hardness, alkalinity, however safe
bacteriologically.
3.4.3 Demand Parameters
3.4.3.1 Surface Water Quality
The demand parameters of surface water are presented in Table 3.13 and compared with the
(CPCB) standards classified for the surface water bodies. The analysis results indicated that the
dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand (COD) and biochemical oxygen demand ranged
between 6.2 to 6.7, < 5 to 21.7 and < 3 to 6.4 mg/l respectively

Water Requirement
Total water requirement for the proposed expansion of Butuibori MIDC industrial area is estimated to be
7 MLD during operation phase which will be sourced from Vadgaon Rama Dam. The water works is
existing on Rama Dam. Total capacity of Rama dam is 1300 MLD. The existing water works capacity is
61 MLD (intake well). The existing requirement is 45 MLD and remaining 16 MLD will be used for phase
II. No groundwater will be used for proposed expansion.
The physico-chemical characteristics of the Rama dam which will be the main source for the proposed
expansion MIDC industrial area are presented in Table 3.15 and compared with the IS-10500 standards.
The analysis results indicated pH 7.3, which was well within the specified standard of 6.5 to 8.5. The
TDS was observed to be 251 mg/l which was within the permissible limit of 2000 mg/l. The total hardness
recorded was 171mg/l as CaCO3 which was also within the permissible limit of 600 mg/l. The nitrate was
found to be 6.8 mg/l. The levels of chloride and sulphate were found to be 18 mg/l and 12.2 mg/l
respectively. Heavy metals content (i.e. As, Cd, Cr, Cu, Pb, Fe, Mn, Zn and Hg) were found to be very
low and within specified standards. The overall water quality was found to be safe for drinking purpose
physico- chemically however bacteriologically found to be contaminated and needs chlorination before
consumption.
Wastewater Generation
The wastewater generation from proposed expansion industrial area is estimated to be 2230 m 3/d and
the domestic generation will be 552 m3/day from proposed development. The treated effluent from the
common effluent treatment plant will be used on site for landscaping and flushing purposes. However, it
is planned to use treated effluent for HRTS. The HRTS that will be developed in 35 ha of land available
with MIDC at in a lower contour in phase wise. Apart from this, rainwater harvesting will be carried out
within the site for artificial recharge of groundwater. The wastewater collection system will be close
condute system (pipeline system) which will be corrosion and chemical resistant pipeline. There will be
intermittent inspection, collection chambers and pumping system if required. The pipeline network for the
collection of wastewater from individual industries to CETP will be designed by competent consultants.
This will be developed by MIDC.
The domestic water requirement is estimated to be 690 m 3/d. The domestic waste generation will be 552
m3/d. For disposal of domestic waste, individual industries will make provision for sending it to septic
tank/ soak pit. There will not be any disposal of domestic waste into nearby water body. However
provision will be made by individual industries to use treated domestic waste for plantation. MIDC will
check this and inform to MPCB regarding any ambiguity in the disposal of domestic waste. MIDC will
insist on the zero discharge policy. So there will not be any discharge in any aquatic system.

Objective
The objectives of Land use studies are:
To determine the present land use pattern as per EIA/EMP norms by MoEF.
To determine the drainage pattern present in the study area.
Data Used
A. Remote sensing data
IRS P6 LISS-3 Scene
B. Collateral Data
Survey of India toposheet (OSM) bearing 55 L/13and 55 K/16(1:50,000 Scale)
Methodology
The land use pattern of the study area was studied by analysing the available secondary data published in the
District Primary Census abstract of the year 2001 & 2011.
Salient features of the adopted methodology are given below:
• Acquisition of satellite data
• Preparation of base map from Survey of India topo sheets
• Data analysis using visual interpretation techniques
• Ground truth studies or field checks using GPS
• Finalization of the map
• Digitization using head up vectorisation method
• Topology construction in GIS
• Area calculation for statistics generation
• Masking
The spatial resolution and the spectral bands in which the sensor collects the remotely sensed data are two
important parameters for any land use survey. IRS P6 LISS III data offers spatial resolution of 23.5 m with the
swath width of 141 x 141 km. the data is collected in four visible bands namely green (Band 2) (0.52-0.59µ),
red (Band 3) (0.62-0.69µ), near infrared (NIR) (Band 4) (0.77-0.89µ), short wave infrared band (Band 5) (1.55-
1.75µ) with orbit repeat period of 24 days (three days revisit). The shapes, sizes, colours, tone and texture of
several geomorphic features are visible in IRS data.
Four spectral bands provide high degree of measurability through band combination including FCC
generation, bands rationing, classification etc. These features of the IRS data are particularity important for
better comprehension and delineation of the land use classes. Hence, IRS P6 LISS-III data has been used for
land use mapping.
The digital image processing was performed on Erdas Imagine 2014 and QGIS 2.2 software system on high-
configured computer. This software package is a collection of image processing functions necessary for pre-
processing, rectification, band combination, filtering, statistics, classification etc. Apart from contrast stretching,
there are large numbers of image processing functions that can be performed on this station. Arc map 9.3 is
used for final layout presentation.
The satellite data from the compact disc is loaded on the hard disk and by studying quick look (the sampled
image of the appropriate area) the sub-scene of the study area is extracted.
Supervised classification using all the spectral bands can separate fairly accurately, the different land use
classes at level II on the basis of the spectral responses, which involve the following three steps:
1. Acquisition of ground truth
2. Calculation of the statistics of training area
3. Classification using maximum likelihood algorithm
The training areas for classification were homogeneous, well spread throughout the scene with bordering
pixels excluded in processing. Several training sets have been used through the scene for similar land use
classes. After evaluating the statistical parameters of training sets, the training areas were rectified by deleting
no congruous training sets and creating new ones.
The Land Cover classes were extracted following a Visual interpretation method or on screen digitization
of the Resource Sat-2 Imagery, sensor LISS-3 having 23.5 m spatial resolutionimage. These were later
verified by using SOI toposheet and Google Earth imagery. Polygon layers for each class were digitized
and the respective areas were calculated. The Land Cover classes and their coverage can be seen in
the following Table 3.17 and its distribution is shown in Figure 3.8. The present Land Cover classes are
represented in Figure 3.7. Total six major land use/ land cover classes were demarcated in the study
area and a thematic map of 1:50,000 scaleswere generated incorporating these classified categories
considering the area of the project. The area as a whole represents a gently slope, drained by a number
of north to south east flowing rivers which debouche into the one Wenna River, in which one reservoir
has been set up for water circulation for MIDC area.It is also observed that the Krishna nala and
Murjharinalawhich is one of the principle stream flows through the project site in southern area and one
of the principal stream for Wenna river meets at East direction also there are various channel which flows
into the 10 km periphery of the project area. It is also observed that the Kanholi Talav which is present in
the west direction flows towards the west to eastern part of the study area.

From the Table 3.16 it has been depicted that total six major land use/land cover classes were
demarcated in the study area. As seen from the land cover classes that were derived agriculture
appears to be the land use pattern that the villagers are engaged, however there is a large area of open
scrub land which can be later developed into a cultivable land. Agriculture has the highest coverage of
all the land cover classes having 57.31% (179.95 sq.km approx) of the total project area and thereafter
the Open Scrub area covers second highest position having 14.93 % (46.89 sq. km approx). The forest
area having a percentage about 7.56% (23.75 sq. km). The presence of water bodies including the river,
dam, canal and tributaries as seen from the figure 3.7 is about 4.61% (14.49 sq.km). It has been
observed that the Wenna river is being used for the purpose for water supply to additional MIDC-Phase I
project; presently it‟s the main source for supplying of water to M/s VIPL (Reliance Power) also it is
observed that the Kanholi talav is situated near the western parts of the study area approximately 8.16
km. There are certain pockets of area is under the mining of stone quarry in open cast by the various
private players having ancillary units of construction and township projects. The area covers by these
stone quarry/ mining activities, however the portion under this coverage is at a slight minimal level i.e.
0.18% (0.56 sq. km approx). It is also resembles from the satellite data and LU/LC map Settlements
occupy a subsequent area, predominantly their presence in bank of Wenna river and spreads all over
the adjoiningstudy area. Maximum settlements including industrial settlements were seen in East and
South East parts of the study area which is shown in Figure 3.8 i.e.15.40% (48.36 sq. km).The terrain
presumably makes it difficult to visualize some of the other features of the total project area. It is also
observed that the study area is well connected by railway i.e. main railway line connecting from Mumbai-
Howrah route and also the two Highways are present NH-7 & SH-3.

3.5.4 Physiography
The study area forms part of Deccan Plateau having flat topped and terraced features. It is a plain area
with the general topography some areas and its vicinity have higher elevation. Lineaments are also
observed in the study area. Dendrtic to sub dendritic of drainage pattern is observed in study area.
Lithologically, the area comprises formations of Deccan Basalt of Cretaceous age.
Drainage pattern
Dendritic to sub dendritic of drainage pattern is observed in study area. Bashimar Nala flows from NNW
to ENE and joins to Wenna River. Krishna Nala flows from NW to SE region. Kanholi Nala flows in
Southern Region of the study area.
Soil types
There are three types of soils found in Nagpur district. The details are as follows:
1) Kali soils: These are black cotton soils which are fine grained clayey in texture and varies in depth
from 1 m to 6 m or more and retain moisture.
2) Morand soils: These are predominant in the district. They are black cotton soils with higher
percentage of lime than the Kali soils. They are black, grey or light to dark brown in colour, clayey in
texture and have a depth of about 1 to 3 m.
3) Bardi soils: They are red gravel covered with boulders found on summits and slopes of trap hills and
are less fertile in nature.

when molten lava from deep in the earth's crust rises up and solidifies. Slightly coarser old sheets of
basalt, now partially altered but still dark in color, are extensively quarried, crushed, and sold as
"traprock". Basalt is a hard, dense, dark volcanic rock composed chiefly of plagioclase, pyroxene, and
olivine, and often having a glassy appearance. Archeans and the Deccan trap basalts are the two
consolidated formations, which form the Hard rock aquifers occurring in the district. The basaltic rocks in
the study area are differentiated as undifferentiated basalt and 6 flows of basalt of which 3 are complex
and 3 compound and alluvium of Wenna River is observed. The flows are part of Sahyadri group having
age from Cretaceous to Paleogene. Geological map of study area is shown in Figure 3.11.
A) ARCHAEAN- The crystalline rocks comprising of gneiss, schist, pegmatite and quartzite are the main
formations occurring in north-eastern and south eastern parts of the district. In these rocks, weathered
zone which is down to a depth of 25 m.bgl, forms the important shallow aquifer for dugwells. In
unweathered crystalline rocks, the occurrence of ground water is mainly controlled by joints and
fractures. Higher yields are generally associated with lineaments. Ground 6 water at places occurs in
fractured zones at depth in semi-confined to confined conditions.
B) DECCAN TRAPS- Basalt is the main formation of the district and occupies an area of about 4300 sq.
km. Ground water occurs under phreatic conditions in the exposed lava flows and in semi-confined to
confined state in the subsurface flows. Ground water is present in pore spaces in the vesicular unit of
each flow and in the jointed and fractured portions of massive unit. However, secondary porosity and
permeability developed on account of weathering, fracturing and joints play a very important role in the
storage and movement of ground water. This has given rise to good aquifers. Weathering not only
produces granular materials but also widens the fractures, joint and shear zones.
Hydrogeology
Hydrogeologically, the aquifer is unconfined to semi-confined type. In the Deccan Traps and Archeans,
the rocks do not have primary porosity. Secondary porosity has been developed due to vesicles,
weathering, jointing and fracturing. The water bearing capacity depends on the degree and depth of
weathering, intensity of jointing and fracturing and thickness of sheared zones. The groundwater is used
through open dug wells, primarily used for domestic use by the inhabitants whereas the deep bore wells
are used for irrigation purpose. Depth of groundwater level has been varied from 1 – 27m during pre-
monsoon and up to >20 m in overexploited areas. It has come up to less than 10 m (bgl) during post
monsoon. The aquifer yield in the study area varies from 60 liters/min to 300 liters/min. The study area of
MIDC Butibori is under 41.52 % of groundwater development. It is considered as safe category for
groundwater withdrawal (CGWB, 2009).
study area and analyzed. The details of the soil sample locations are given in Table 3.18 and shown in
Figure 3.12. The monitoring was carried out once in the study period during pre monsoon season. The
international pipette method (Black, 1964) was adopted for determination of particle size analysis. The
physical parameters such as bulk density, porosity and water holdinig capacity were determined by
following KR box method (Keen and racekowski) 1921.

Regular cultivation practices increase the bulk density of soils thus inducing compaction. This results in
reduction in water percolation rate and penetration of roots through soils. The soils with low bulk density
have favourable physical conditions whereas those with high bulk density exhibit poor physical conditions
for agriculture crops. The bulk density of the soil in the study area ranged between 1.04-1.24 g/cc which
indicates favourable physical condition for plant growth. The porosity was found in the range of 14.61-
25.10 %, water holding capacity was observed between 22.39-54.82 % whereas the texture of soil in the
area was found to be sandy to sandy clay loam. Electrical conductivity, a measure of soluble salts in the
soil was in the range of 67.21-540.20 μS/cm as shown in Table 3.20.
3.5.5.3 Chemical Characteristics of Soil
Data collected for chemical characteristics of soils through selected parameters viz. pH, soluble cations
and anions, organic content and fertility status in the form of NPK values and organic matter are
presented in Tables 3.20 & 3.21 respectively.
pH is an important parameter indicative of alkaline or acidic nature of soil. It greatly affects the microbial
population as well as solubility of metal ions and regulates nutrient availability. Variation in the pH of the
soil in the study area is presented in Table 3.20 and it was found to be neutral to slightly acidic (6.48-
7.97) in reaction.
The important cations in the soil are calcium and magnesium whose concentration levels ranged from
41.64-99.40 mg/Kg and 16.70-31.94 mg/Kg respectively. Chlorides were in the range of 97.02-164.73
mg/Kg.

Fauna:
Fauna Avifauna: Standard methods were followed to survey the avifauna. The point count method was
followed for counting the birds. Opportunistic survey was also carried out with respect to avifaunal
checklist. Identification by calls was also made for species identification which were not directly
encountered or were hidden in the vegetation or canopy (Sridharan 1989, Bhupathy1991, Bibby et al.,
1992 and Hutto et al., 1986).
Herpetofauna: Area searches were done in the circular plots of 10 m radius to inventory all terrestrial
habitats for reptiles and amphibians. Area searches consisted of turning cover objects like logs, boulders
etc (Welsh, 1987). Sampling for these species involved through binoculars and aural surveys.
Mammals: Presence of mammals was documented by using both direct and indirect evidences.
Opportunistic sightings were also included. Transect line were used to search indirect evidence i.e.
animal burrows / holes, scat, pellets, feeding signs, and tracks. Photographic (colored pictorial guide)
field guide were used for interviews with local residents (Burnham et al. 1980, Rodgers 1991, Sale and
Berkmuller, 1988, Daniel, 1992)
Threat Status Assessment/evaluation Criteria
The biodiversity aspects in the form of endemic status, conservation status and life form were
enumerated for all the plant species found in the area during ecological survey. The Red Data Book of

Phytosociological Survey:
Phyto-sociological study of any vegetation, whether tree layer, shrub or herbaceous layer, is an important
aspect of an ecological study, which deals with social interaction of these plant species among themselves.
This study also reflects about the totality of vegetation at any particular site. The interaction of species and its
totality always varies with space and time lapse and alteration in factors such as edaphic, climatic and other
stresses.
The stratified random sampling approach was followed for phytosociological survey in the present study. The
phytosociological data from these forests were quantitatively analysed to work out the species richness,
diversity, evenness, dominance, importance value, stand density and the basal area (Table 3.25 to 3.28).

The IVI table of trees for Sukli RF (site II) indicated that the Acacia catechu (Khair) was the sole dominant
species in the area with Acacia leucophloea as almost the second dominant species.
The IVI table of trees Junapani RF (Site III) indicated that similar trend of first dominant species i.e. Acacia
catechu (Khair) followed by Butea monosperma as second dominant species.
The IVI table of trees Degma RF (Site III) indicated that true teak bearing dry deciduous forest in which Teak is
sole dominant species followed by its companion Terminalia tomentosa as second dominant tree.
From the above table density of species per hector was observed highest in Degma Reserve Forest. The
diversity indices was observed to be low in Junapani RF & Sukli RF as compared to Degma Reserve Forest
may be due to human perturbation and illegal cutting of trees in past.

The impact could be positive or negative depends on the development activities adopted and carried out
by the company/industry. An assessment of socio - economic environment forms an integral part of the
EIA/EMP study. In order to improve the quality of life of the people affected by the industrial activities it is
necessary to understand the socio- economic aspects and its trends in the study area.
Socio-demographic features/ survey are very useful for understanding social and economic problems and
identifying potential solutions. To understand the socio demographic status and the trends of the communities
in the 10 km radius map census 2011 & VD 2001 has been contemplated and necessary data collected and
compiled from it.
Sociological aspect including human settlements, demography, and infrastructure aspect for education, health,
drinking water, power supply, communication and the land use aspect has been collected compiled and
analysed with the help of census data 2011 & village directory 2001 of Maharashtra state.

3.7.10 Awareness and Opinion of the Respondents about the Project
Public opinion is the aggregate of individual attitudes or beliefs. It is very important to take opinion of the
villagers about the project. The awareness will not only promote community participation but also enable
them to understand the importance of the project and encourage them to express there view. To know
the awareness and opinion of the villagers about the project, group discussion, meeting with school
teachers/village leaders were carried out in the study area.
Majority of the respondents were aware about the project site and about the project activity
Respondents complained that, employment opportunities mostly given to migratory population came
from Chhatisgarh, M.P, Bihar etc. They asked to give employment opportunities to local population
Major problem in study area was lack of medical facility, drinkable water and employment
opportunity. Village leaders suggested for development in needy fields from various industries will
improve village condition
Respondents were positive opinion about the proposed expansion of MIDC industrial area, they
strongly believed the it will help to develop quality of life of the study area
The average QoL index value for the study area is leading to satisfactory level due to satisfactory
economic status like, good educational facilities, communication facilities, fair transportation facilities and
also availability of basic needs viz., food, clothing & housing.

Meteorological data
The meteorological data required for the modelling studies was collected from IMD Nagpur for the
period of winter (dec 2014-feb 2015).The windrose diagram for December 2014 to February 2015.is
shown in Figure 4.6.
concentrations for PM10, SO2 and NOx are found to be 0.29µg/m3, 0.27µg/m3 and 4.2 µg/m3
respectively in proposed scenario and depicted in Table 4.2. The isopleths representing the GLCs of
PM10, SO2 and NOx are shown in Figures 4.7 to 4.9respectively.
The cumulative concentration levels of PM10, SO2 and NOx are presented in Table 4.3. The
cumulative concentration levels (Ambient + predicted incremental rise) revealed that the
concentration levels for PM10, NOx and SO2 likely to be encountered in the operation of the project
are respectively occurring at a distance of about 1.0 km, 1.0 km, 1.0 km in the SW, W direction with a
concentration levels (cumulative) of 65.09 µg/m3, 15.2 µg/m3 and 30.6 µg/m3 respectively which is
well within the NAAQM levels prescribed by CPCB. Hence it is inferred that considering cumulative
concentration levels, the pollution load exerted due to proposed project will be insignificant.

FIGURE 4.7: INCREMENTAL RISE OF PARTICULAR MATTER
a) Vehicular Emissions
Emission factors as mentioned in the ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India), 2006 for
vehicles are used for calculating emission rate for various pollutants due to vehicular activities within
the project area. The length of roads is considered on the basis of project area.
b) Details of CALINE4Model
The California Line Source Dispersion Model, CALINE4 (1989), uses traffic emissions, site geometry
and meteorology to predict air pollutant concentrations within 500 meters of the roadways.
Predictions can be made for carbon monoxide, nitrogen dioxide and suspended particles. Options for
modeling near intersections, parking lots, elevated or depressed freeways, and within canyons are
given. CALINE 4 is last in series of line source air quality model developed by California Department
of Transportation (CALTRANS). It is based on Gaussian diffusion equation and employs mixing zone
concept to characterize pollutant dispersion over the roadway. CALINE 4 divides an individual link
into series of elements from which incremental concentrations are computed and summed. Each
element is modeled as an "equivalent" finite line source (FLS) positioned normal to the wind direction
and centered at the element midpoint. Element size increases with distance from the receptor to
improve computational efficiency. Incremental downwind concentrations are computed using the
crosswind Gaussian formulation for a line source of finite length:
2
Q y2−y 1 y
C = πσ . ∫y1−y exp [− 2 (σ ) ] dy.
zu y
Where q is the lineal source strength, u is the wind speed, σy andσz , is the horizontal and vertical
Gaussian dispersion parameters, and y1 and y2 are the FLS endpoint y-coordinates. CALINE 4 treats
the region directly over the highway as a zone of uniform emissions and turbulence. This “mixing
zone” is defined as the region over the traveled way plus 3 m (approximately two vehicle widths) on
either side. The additional width accounts for the initial horizontal dispersion imparted to pollutants by
the vehicle wake. Within the mixing zone, the mechanical turbulence created by moving vehicles and
the thermal turbulence created by hot vehicle exhaust are treated as significant dispersive
mechanisms. The emission factors considered for modeling are given in Table 4.5.
TABLE 4.5
EMISSION FACTORS USED (ARAI 2006 STANDARDS)
where,
L2 and L1 are the noise levels at the distances r2 and r1 from the source and Ae1,2,3is the
environmental attenuation factor.
Total noise level Lp due to all sources can be determined as follows:
Lp(Total) = 10 log (10Lp1/10 + 10Lp2/10+ ----------+10Lp10/10 )
where,
Lp1, Lp2 are the noise levels at a sampling point due to sources a, b etc.
Where,
Leq(h)i = Leq at hour ‘h’ for ith vehicle type
D =Perpendicular distance in meter from the center line of the traffic lane to the
location of the observer
Noise levels from light, medium and heavy vehicles on the roads are calculated by using the above
model and cumulative effect is computed, using the following model :
The noise generating from the DG sets will be of the order of 70-75 dB(A).The maximum noise levels
of 75 dB(A) from the four DG-sets is considered for predicting ambient noise levels as the worst case
scenario.The maximum noise level generated will be 54 dB(A) when four DG sets will be in operation.
In order to reduce noise levels, the industry will take necessary steps to reduce/mitigate noise levels
at source by isolating these processes at the work environment to meet necessary standards.

Presentation of Results
The incremental noise levels were observed at proposed project site considering 100m x 100m grid
intervals over an area of 1 km x 1 km study area. As per thepredicted results, noise levels at the plant
boundaries are given below in Table 4.7. The predicted noise levels at the boundary due to various
plant activities will be ranging in between 24dB (A) to 26 dB (A).The isopleths of noise levels

The green belt development around the plant boundry will act as a barrier and will help in
reducing noise levels in the campus as a result of attenuation of noise generated due to plant
operations and transportation.
4.2.3 Water Environment
The impacts on water environment due to proposed expansion project can be explained in terms of
resources availability, wastewater generation, and its treatment system and reuse pattern. These
influence the natural regime of water, runoff and land areas, if not managed properly.
4.2.3.1 Impact on Water Quality (surface and ground water)
The overall water quality of Rama dam was found to be safe for drinking purpose physico-
chemically. However bacteriologically contaminated and needs chlorination treatment before
consumption.There will not be wastewater discharges in any of the surface water bodies, hence no
impacts are envisaged on surface water quality.
Groundwater will not be utilized / abstracted for plant activity as sufficient surface water from Rama
damwill be available for the proposed project and necessary permission has been sought. There will
not be wastewater discharges on land so no groundwater pollution is envisaged.
Water requirement
Total water requirement for the project is estimated to be 6890 m3/day and will be sourced from
Rama dam. The distribution network will be through pipeline i.e. 12 km from the Rama dam. The
water will be supplied through pipeline network and will be stored in storage tank where it will be
treated inwatertreatment plant and thetreated water will be sent to ESR (Elevated Storage Reservior)
and distributed to the users through pipeline (individual industries through pipeline) network. 24 hours
storage will be made available and it will be obligatory by MIDC. The distribution network will be as
follows:

4.2.3.3 Domestic Wastewater Generation
The domestic water requirement is estimated to be 690 m3/day. The domestic wastewater generation will
be 552 m3/day. However for disposal of domestic waste individual industries will make provision for
sending it to septic tank or soak pit. There will not be any disposal of domestic waste into nearby water
body, however excess domestic waste generation will be used for plantation. MIDC will check this and
inform to MPCB regarding any ambiguity in the disposal of domestic waste.

total hazardous waste can not be quantified at this stage; it will be totally depending on the number and
type of industries coming upin the proposed eapansion of MIDC area. However proper NOC will have to be
obtained from Director of Industrial Health and Safety by every industry to submit it to MIDC.
Waste Segregation (By industries)
Segregation or sorting of wastes at its source will be practiced in order to encourage reuse/
recycling and to minimize the negative effects of the waste and increase its economic value. With
segregation at source, recyclables do not lose their commercial value due to cross contamination.
At every floor dedicated bins will be placed to collect biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes
in the residential area.
At parking areas and other open areas dedicated bins will be placed
Collection bins
Daily collection of wastes shall take place from all the bins.
Daily sweeping and collection of wastes from roads and other common facility area would also be
done daily in the morning by the same operators.
For waste collection, either carts or a dedicated truck could be used. Separate collection for
biodegradable and non-biodegradable wastes will be ensured.
Large storage bins will be placed in the residential and buildings areas for final storage of waste
before disposal.
Plantation/Greenbelt Development
Proposed project area is 275.58 Ha. Thus, plantation will be carried out on 90.94 Ha. @ of 1500
trees/ha, which will be about 33% of the proposed project area. It is proposed to plan 1000 tree
saplings every year. Some trees shall be planted along road side in proposed industrial project area.
Development of 3 - tier green belt by plantation within the industrial area and there is a plan for more
plantations of different species for the purpose of minimizing air pollution as well as land scaping.
4.2.5 BiologicalEnvironment
Loss of Vegetation during site preparation:
The majority of local vegetation at project site is of seasonal shrubs, herbs and grasses and naturally
grown predominant plant species like Acacia nilotica(Babul), Annonasquamosa(Sitaphal),Acacia
catechu (Khair), Acacia leucociphala (Hiwar), Ziziphusmauritiana(Bor), Butiamonosperma (Palash)
&Prosopisjuliflora (vedibabool),Azadirachtaindica (Neem)etc.will be removed during site preparation.
Efforts will be made in order to minimize the tree cutting during development stage of the project.
Tree cutting will be compensated by the development of green belt around the periphery of the
project site, approach road and also along the periphery of proposed individual industries within the
proposed expansion of Industrial Area. The total area 90.94 ha (33%) will be covered by plantation.
The existing ecological conditions in the project area have been established based on review of
secondary information and by conducting detailed primary ecological field surveys during winter
season of 2014-15. The study revealed that, there are no wildlife sanctuaries or wildlife protected
areas within 10 km study area from the project site. There is no identified migratory route/path of
birds or major wildfauna. Birds observed during the study period are locally common in observation.
The major wildlife confined to the RF of the study area. During consultative approach with the
locals/villagers, it has come to know that, Nilgai, Wildboar, Sabhar, deer are often raid to the adjacent
agriculture area of RF and destroyed the crops during harvesting period. The proposed project does
not envisage any significant impact on wildlife in the study area.
Proposed expansion ofof MIDC area is in 275.58 Ha. Thus, plantation will be carried out on 90.94Ha.
@ of 1500 trees/ha, which will be about 33% of the proposed project area. It is proposed to plan 1000
tree saplings every year. Some trees shall be planted along road side in proposed industrial area.
Recommended species for plantation are given in Table 4.11.

employment purpose, which may increase no. of visitors in the temple for worship. It will be a positive
impact, because due to increase in devoteestowards the temple, small business, hotels, restaurant
will grow and thereby the economic growth.
Demand of housing
Expansion of industrial area will attract population from other places for different type of work. It will
increase demand of housing in the study area; this could impact positively as the local population will
earn money from giving their houses on rent basis.
Impact on quality of life
Due to employment opportunities, additional infrastructure facilities, development in ancillary
business, etc. quality of life will improve in the study area (Table 4.13).
Impact on population growth
Nagpur city is main attraction in vidharbha region for employment, small/large scale /industries
business etc. Due to growth in proposed expansion of MIDC Butibori industrial area, will attract
migrant from other regions in search of employment and population of the region may increase.
Impact on education rate
Proposed expansion of MIDC Butibori industrial area will require literate population for
admin/accounts/ technical related works. This may help to increase education rate in the study area.
Mitigation Measures
In order to mitigate the adverse impact likely to arise in social, cultural and economical aspects in the
surrounding region and the proposed project is expected to contribute towards enlistment of local
people and improvement in quality of life. Prediction of likely impacts on socio-economic environment
is given in Table 4.12.

renewable resources. Normally conventional materials used for construction are non-renewable
sources.
Use of alternative technologies for each component of the buildings of envelope, superstructure,
finishes and the road and surrounding areas are discussed in detail. Some of them are given below:
Brick and block products with waste and recycled contents such as fly ash (waste from coal
burning plants), blast furnace slag, sewage sludge, waste wood fibre etc.
Fly ash based lightweight aerated concrete blocks can be used for walls.
Perforated bricks can be used for wall structures.
Brick panel with joists, filler slab roofing, brick funicular shell roofing, RCC channel units, micro-
concrete roofing tiles are some of the alternative techniques for roofing.
Some of the alternate materials for openings in construction are:-
Use of precast thin lintels, use of ferrocement-sunshade cum lintel etc.
Use of renewable timber for doors and windows
Use of steel manufactures from recycled content
Aluminum from verified recycled content
Saw dust based doors and window frames
Ferrocement shutters, PVC doors and windows, Rice husk boards, Natural fibre reinforced
polymer composite door panels
Bamboo based products, bamboo strips boards.
Alternatives for finishes include Fly ash, Ceramic tiles, Terrazzo floors. The use of the alternatives for
building materials will help to reduce the use of non-renewable resources and impact on natural
resources.
5.4 GREEN BUILDINGS
Some of the salient features of a green building are:
Use of recycled and environmental friendly building materials
Use of energy efficient and eco-friendly equipment
Use of renewable energy
Indoor air quality for human safety and comfort
The orientation of the building is also an important fact with regard to energy conservation in the
building. The building envelope for all air conditioned buildings / spaces are to comply with the ECBC
(www.beeindia@nic.in).
The concept of passive solar design emphasizes architectural design approaches that minimize
building energy consumption by integrating conventional energy-efficient devices, such as
mechanical and electrical pumps, fans, lighting fixtures, and other equipment, with passive design
elements, such as building siting, an efficient envelope, appropriate amounts of fenestration,
increased daylighting design, and thermal mass. The basic idea of passive solar design is to allow
daylight, heat, and airflow into a building only when beneficial.
The general day-lighting principles include:-
Avoid direct sunlight on critical tasks and excessive brightness.
Bring the daylight in at a high location.
Filter the daylight.
Bounce daylight off of surrounding surfaces.
Integrate daylight with other building systems and strategies.
Supply of the energy in the form of electricity will also be based on the type of activities to be carried
by individual industry. MIDC will procure the electricity by establishment of grid in MIDC area and will
be evaluated as per the demand of industry for this purpose necessary arrangement and space will
be allocated and distribution system will be firm up.
The charges related to the supply of electricity to individual units to be established in the area will be
according to the norms set up by the individual development corporation.
Solar photovoltaic systems (SPV) can be used as it is direct conversion of sunlight into electricity and
could be a viable option. Street lighting, fixed type solar lighting system are some applications of SPV
systems.
Stress will be given to apply solar system for garden, street light, recreational zones to save electricity
consumption and same will be applicable to individual industry.
5.6 TRANSPORTATION
Some of the factors are important and must be taken into the consideration, while planning, are the
movement of heavy traffic loads and operation of construction machinery. Construction machinery
due to its operation produces smoke, dust and noise and vibration. Internal road design should be
done with due consideration for environment, and safety of the people residing or working near the
roads. Proper sidewalk should be provided for the residence to commute.
Peripheral roads: Peripheral network of the roads for the scheme area shall be retained as per
development plan/nodal plan/ zonal plan as per MRTP act 1966 for industrial/ commercial and
Residentia zones as shown below:
Provision of road in industrial and commercial zones.
Length of road Minimum width in metropolitan region as Minimum width, in other areas
notified of state Govt. under MRTP act 1966
Up to 150 m 15 m 12 m
Above 150 m 20 m or more as may be required by the projected 15 m
traffic
5.7 TECHNOLOGY
Application of technology will be based on types of industries likely to come in MIDC area. The industries
will procure the technology based on the types of industry they want to be set up which will be eco-friendly
and will not produce or emit wastewater generation and gases respectively. This will be taken care to
maintain the atmospheric pollution within the specified norms that will specified by SPCB.
The dependency, procurement and application of technology will be based on nature of industry to be
developed in the area.

hurt and there were no fatalities. Nevertheless, there was significant damage to both commercial and
residential properties near the Buncefield site. About 2000 people had to be evacuated from their
homes and sections of the M1 motorway were closed. The fire burned for five days, destroying most
of the site and emitting a large plume of smoke into the atmosphere that dispersed over southern
England.
E) June 28, 2006, Explosion in Lanzhou Petrochemical Company.
On June 28th, 2006 an explosion broke out in CNPC Lanzhou Petrochemical Company Refinery
Plant, which is located in Gansu province, western China. The accident caused 1 death and 10
injuries. The preliminary investigation showed that the accident was caused by the gas leakage on
the 3 million t/a residuum fluid catalytic cracking unit in Lanzhou Refinery Plant.
F) October 29, 2009, Indian Oil Corporation Ltd, Jaipur
A massive fire broke out on 29th October at an oil storage depot in the western state of Rajasthan,
killing at least 11 people and injuring 135 others. Two huge explosions were heard before the fire
ignited and spread. The fire broke out around 19:30 local time at the Jaipur storage depot run by
Indian Oil Corporation (IOC) Ltd and was visible from over 25 kilometres away, according to reports.
Company officials said the depot covers an area of several square kilometres and the oil tanks store
gasoline, diesel and kerosene fuel for several state-owned oil companies. Reports said the depot had
a 100,000-kilolitre capacity. Initial estimates indicate that products valued at 1.5 billion rupees have
been burnt, and the petroleum stocks were insured.
could be affected by an accident, the damage to property within the area and the working days lost
due to accidents. The method for evaluation of FEI involves following stages.
Selection of pertinent process unit which can have serious impact on plant safety
Determination of Material Factor (MF): This factor for a given substance in the process unit
gives intrinsic potential to release energy in case of fire or an explosion. Material Factor can be
directly obtained from Dow’s Fire and Explosion Index Hazard classification Guide of American
Institute of Chemical Engineers, New York. The factor can also be evaluated from NFPA indices
of danger, health, flammability and reactivity.
Determination of Unit Hazard Factor: The Unit Hazard Factor is obtained by multiplication of
General Process Hazard (GPH) factor and Special Process Hazard (SPH) factor. GPH factor is
computed according to presence of exothermic reactions and loading and unloading operations.
The penalties due to each of these reactions / operations are summed up to compute GPH
factor. Similarly, SPH factor can be evaluated for the operations close to flammable range or
pressures different from atmospheric. Penalties of these operations for both factors can be
obtained from Dow’s EFI index form.
Fire and explosion index is then calculated as the product of Material Factor (MF) and Unit Hazard
Factor. Degree of hazards based on FEI is given in the following Table 7.1.
TABLE 7.1
DEGREE OF HAZARDS BASED ON FEI
FEI Range Degree of Hazard
0 – 60 Light
61-96 Moderate
97 - 127 Intermediate
128 - 158 Heavy
159 and Above Severe
Preventive and protective control measures are recommended based on degree of hazard.
Therefore, FEI indicates the efforts to be taken to reduce risks for a particular unit.
7.3.2 Toxicity Index (TI)
The TI value is computed from Maximum Allowable Concentration (MAC), General Process Hazard
and Special Process Hazard by use of DOW's hazard classification guide. The scale for TI is given
below:
TI Range Degree of Hazard
0–6 Light
6 - 10 Moderate
Above 10 High
Based on the category of hazard and preventive and protective system present in the installation,
recommendations are made. TI of various storage tanks are depicted in Table 7.2.

location. These systems should be used for unloading, sorting, put-away, storage, order-
picking, staging, and loading
7.5.2 Specific Recommendations
7.5.2.1 Hydrogen
Preventive measures against fires involving hydrogen should include automatic or manual
process shutdown systems, sprinklers, deluge systems, water spray systems, dry-chemical
extinguishing systems, and Halon systems.
Hydrogen fires normally are not extinguished until the supply of hydrogen is shut off because of
the danger of reignition or explosion. Hence, Large quantities of water should be sprayed on
adjacent equipment to cool the equipment and prevent its involvement in any fire that occurs
Small hydrogen fires should be extinguished by dry chemical extinguishers or with carbon
dioxide, nitrogen, and steam
Water spray systems should be provided for hydrogen storage containers, grouped piping, and
pumps where potential fire hazard exists
Hydrogen gas is colourless and odourless and normally not detectable by human senses.
Hence, a combination of portable and fixed installation hydrogen sensors should be used to
detect hydrogen. Portable hydrogen detectors should be available for personnel entering an
area in which hydrogen is leaking or may have leaked.
7.5.2.2 Chlorine
Provide PVC gloves, gumboots, rubber overcoat, head mask, self-contained breathing
apparatus.
Keep in a cool, dry, relatively isolated, well ventilated place, store in cylinders, pressure vessels,
or pipelines.
To prevent the large release of chlorine to atmosphere, monitoring and feedback facilities for
early detection leaks and emergency shutdown shall be provided.
There should be facilities for absorption of chlorine released during an emergency
As the hypochlorate is neither toxic nor flammable, therefore it is recommended that
hypochlorate should be used instead of chlorine if technically feasible.
If mild steel is to be used for handling chlorine, it is essential that water should be excluded.
Therefore, mild steel equipment used for dry chlorine itself must be dried out before
commissioning
Eye wash stations and emergency shower stations should be provided at appropriate locations
especially in the vicinity of Chlorine storage and dosing facilities
As the chlorine is highly soluble in water, there should be water curtain near the chlorine
storages
Immediate actions needs to be taken for evacuation of all personnel in case of accidental
release of chlorine
7.5.2.3 LNG
Pump and Pipe Leaks under Pressure:
Provide automatic cut off valves for line leaks.
In particular, fast - acting double - valve powered emergency release connection (PERC) for
loading arms.
Provide LNG impoundment basins in safe locations.
Insulate drainage troughs under transfer lines.
Drain troughs to an insulated sump to reduce evaporation rates.
Provide shielding around flanges, valve stems, and pump axles.
Process Leaks:
Minimize flanged connections.
Select appropriate materials not affected by brittle fracture.
Install a flammable gas leak detection system.
Install sufficient isolation points to avoid large inventory losses.
Separate dike area must be provided for the different products. Do not store the different
products in the same dike
The separation /space in the storage areas such that sufficient to escape from fire, at the same
time it should allow emergency procedures to be mobilized
Proper dyke area should be provided for the storage of chemicals. In the event of a fire, the fire
in the dyke area should be addressed first so as to minimise the heat input to the tank
The fire proofing material/coating should be resistant to weather effects such as chalking and
erosion. Top coat, wherever provided, must be resistant to solar ultra violet radiation
The fire proofing materials should have adequate adhesion, strength and durability
In case of accidental release, shut-off leaks without risk. Prevent spillage from entering drains or
water sources
After spills wash area with soap and water preventing runoff from entering drains.
For small spills, take up with sand or other non combustible material and placed into closed
containers for later disposal
For large liquid spills, build dyke far ahead of the spill to contain the spilled material for later
reclamation or disposal
Seal all the waste in vapour tight plastic bags for eventual disposal or incineration.
Provide proper ventilation
Use respiratory protection if ventilation is improper
Use face shield, PVC gloves, safety boots while handling. Contaminated clothing to be
immediately removed
7.5.3.2 Flood
Following mitigation measures are recommended to tackle flood disaster
Focus resources on minimizing the spread of water into other areas of the plant
Protect property and records by removing items from floors and /or covering with water resistant
coverings.
Attempt to move items of value to "higher ground" if possible.
Evacuate personnel as needed. Utilize the fire alarm system if an immediate evacuation is
required.
Mitigative measures can be structural or non-structural. Structural measures use technological
solutions, like flood levees. Non-structural measures include legislation, land-use planning (e.g.
the designation of nonessential land like parks to be used as flood zones), and insurance.
The response phase includes the mobilization of the necessary emergency services and first
responders in the flood area. This is likely to include a first wave of core emergency services,
such asfire fighters,police and ambulance crews. They may be supported by a number of
secondary emergency services, such as specialist rescue teams.
7.5.3.3 Cyclones and Severe Storms
Landuse management should provide protection from wind and storm surge.
Engineering of structures should withstand wind forces and water damage (including storm
surge).
Building should be constructed with higher wind-resistant capacity.
Securing of elements such as metal sheeting, roofing, and fences should be done to avoid
severe damages.
Safety shelters are to be arranged to tackle cyclones and storms.
Cyclone and severe weather warning systems should be installed.
Community awareness regarding cyclone risk and evacuation plan should be properly
addressed.
7.5.4 Preventive Measures of the Electricity Hazard
All electrical equipments shall be provided with proper earthing. Earthed electrode shall
periodically tested and maintained
Emergency lighting shall be available at all critical locations including the operator’s room to
carry out safe shut down of the plant, ready identification of firefighting facilities such as fire

7.5.6 Fire Protection Systems
The typical firefighting system for the various facilities described under this project is outlined in this
section. The exact details of the firefighting systems and capabilities to be installed and developed
will be finalised after the completion of detailed engineering in consultation with the concerned
process and equipment vendors and fire. It is also to be understood that not all facilities described
below will be applicable for every installation. The outline of the fire system proposed is described
below.
Fire protection system shall be deigned in accordance with the requirements of OISD, Tariff Advisory
Committee (TAC) of India, NFPA standards, design requirements and safe engineering practices and
will have full capability for early detection and suppression of fire. The system will primarily consist of:
Hydrant system
Foam protection system
Deluge sprinkler system
Portable fire extinguisher
Fire detection and alarm system
Hydrant System: The system will essentially consists of firewater storage, pumping, system
pressurisation and all inter connected pipe work and auxiliary firefighting appliances. The water
storage and pumping capacity and other features of this system will be finalised considering TAC
recommendations.
Adequate number of engine driven / electric motor driven fire water pumps will be provided. The
pumps will be started automatically in the event of drop in header pressure. The actuation will be
through pressure switches, the setting of which will be staggered to achieve sequential starting of the
pumps to meet the system demand. When power supply is available, the electric motor driven pump
will start first and in case of further pressure drop the engine driven pump will start. However when
electric power is not available, the engine driven pump will cut-in depending on the system demand.
The pumping capacity would meet the simultaneous water demand for foam protection of one oil
tank, and supplementary foam hose stream in the oil dyke area, which is the maximum water demand
in a single occurrence of fire. The pumping capacity should also meet the guidelines of TAC for this
size of plant, considering ordinary hazard occupancy.
The fire water system will be kept pressurised by the hydro-pneumatic tank, which will take care of
small leakages from the fire water system. A jockey pump, sized as per the TAC guidelines will,
automatically replenish the water level in the hydro-pneumatic tank at periodic intervals. Air required
for pressurising the hydro-pneumatic tank will be supplied by an electric motor driven compressor.
The outdoor hydrant system will be provided all over the plant for exterior protection. The hydrant
mains will be laid underground. Hose houses, complete with all accessories, will be provided at
suitable intervals. The overall plant will be divided in several fire zones, where the firefighting action
can be pursued effectively. The pressurised main will also be connected to Sprinkler/ emulsifier
System for protection of transformers and Fuel Oil storage tanks.
Foam protection system: Oil storage tanks and the surrounding dyke areas will be protected with low
expansion foam system, using fluoro-protein. The storage tanks will be provided with sub-surface
foam injection system and the dyke area will be provided with supplementary foam hose stream for
combating spill fires. The foam protection system will be designed as per the requirements of NFPA,
OISD and TAC. A central foam preparation unit consisting of at least foam storage tank,
proportionating devices etc. shall be provided, to supply foam solution to the foam protection system.
Pressurised water for foam system will be tapped from the outdoor main hydrant.
Sprinkler system: Automatic deluge sprinkler system will be provided for the protection of power
transformer. An array of spray nozzles will be provided all around the protected area. The nozzles will
be connected to the automatic deluge valve. A set of heat or smoke detectors, located in the area
will sense the fire. Deluge valve will automatically open once two independent detectors sense fire.
Manually initiated water spray system will be provided for exposure protection of oil storage tanks, so
that when one tank is on fire, the other tank can be cooled to guard against exposure heating.
Pressurized water supply to all sprinkler systems will be tapped from the outdoor hydrant main.
Portable Fire Extinguishers: Besides, fire hydrant arrangement, portable fire extinguishers of suitable
categories will be placed at control rooms, electrical switchgear room and various utility buildings for
immediate use in the event of fire. Three different kinds of extinguishers i.e. foam, CO2 and
multipurpose dry chemical (MPDC) will be provided. Each type of extinguisher has its own
characteristic to fight a particular class of fire. The size and type of extinguishers will be decided as
per recommendations of NFPA and relevant Indian Standard and will be placed in convenient
accessible locations.
7.5.7 Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) provides additional protection to workers exposed to workplace
hazards in conjunction with other facility controls and safety systems.
PPE is considered to be a last resort that is above and beyond the other facility controls and provides
the worker with an extra level of personal protection. Table 7.7 presents general examples of
occupational hazards and types of PPE available for different purposes. Recommended measures for
use of PPE in the workplace include:
Active use of PPE if alternative technologies, work plans or procedures cannot eliminate, or
sufficiently reduce, a hazard or exposure
Identification and provision of appropriate PPE that offers adequate protection to the worker, co-
workers, and occasional visitors, without incurring unnecessary inconvenience to the individual
Proper maintenance of PPE, including cleaning when dirty and replacement when damaged or
worn out. Proper use of PPE should be part of the recurrent training programs for Employees
Selection of PPE should be based on the hazard and risk ranking described earlier in this
section, and selected according to criteria on performance and testing established

7.6.5.4 Off-site Disaster Management Plan
Emergency is a sudden unexpected event, which can cause serious damage to personnel life,
property and environment outside the boundary wall of the refinery as a whole, which necessitate
evolving Off-site Emergency Plan to combat any such eventuality. In Offsite disaster management
plan, many agencies like Revenue, Public Health, Fire Services, Police, Civil Defence, Home Guards,
Medical Services and other Voluntary organization are involved. Thus, handling of such emergencies
requires an organized multidisciplinary approach.
Evacuation of people, if required, can be done in orderly way. The different agencies involved in
evacuation of people are Civil Administration (both state and central), non Govt. organizations,
factory Inspectorate and Police authorities.
Fire
Effects of fire on population will be mainly due to thermal radiation. In such cases, houses situated to
the proximity of disaster need to be evacuated, although a severe smoke hazard due to fire is to be
reviewed periodically.
Explosion
An explosion will give a very little time to warn population and areas affected may be much longer
than that in case of fire. The effects of explosion on population will be mainly due to shock waves,
flying splinters, collapse of structures and exposure to thermal radiation.
Toxic gas/vapour release
A toxic gas release will generally threat much larger area and population, exposed to the drifting
cloud of toxic gases and vapours. The time available for warning population will depend on the point
of release, wind direction and velocity.
LPG release will generally lead to vapour cloud formation accompanied by fire and / or explosion. As
LPG is heavier than air, it will settle to ground and may lead to fire as soon as comes in contact with
any ignition source. In case of LPG, the fire moves away from the source as quickly as possible.
Huge oil spillage may lead to escape of Oil out-side the factory premises and take the route of our
effluent discharge channel. People outside the complex may be warned not to collect oil and provide
any source of ignition to create fire in the effluent discharge channel.
The purpose of the off-site disaster management plan is:

10.3 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
Besides delineating an EMP to address the various environmental impacts identified and assessed,
the EMS suggests an overall framework under which the EMP is executed
The EMP presents the project specific guidelines on-
Environment Management strategies
Specialized engineering construction procedure in relation to the environmental guidelines of
the country
Spill prevention and control
Disposal and management of wastes and hazardous chemicals
Air, water and soil quality protection
Noise control
Soil erosion control and slope stabilization,
Vegetation, wildlife and habitat protection
Socio-economic and welfare considerations
Due to its complexity and implications, the implementation of EMP must be executed utilizing a
specific EMS framework. Once an EMP has been approved, it should provide the basis for
environmental considerations of all the activities carried out on the site by the appointed personnel.
With respect to the various environmental impacts identified during the EIA stage, mitigation
measures to prevent or minimize the impacts are suggested for the environmental components.
The Environment Management Plan for the proposed project aims to mitigate the potential
detrimental impacts on the environment, both during construction phase and operation phases of the
project. It also necessary that continued compliance with existing environmental regulations is
ensured. The construction and associated activities have been planned so as to minimize the impacts
on the physical, biological and socio-economic culture environments. Even thought it would be native
to expect that all detrimental impacts can be avoided, it is apparent that most of the impacts will be
localized and temporary in nature.
10.4 ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES
While developing an EMP within the frame work of an EMS, it is imperative to have clear
environmental objectives and delineate them. The key environmental management objectives for this
project are to avoid significant adverse environmental impacts and to ensure that where impacts do
occur they are mitigated. In addition, the project proponent aims to meet the following specific
objectives.
To adopt construction and operational methods , which will limits environmental degradation
To protect physical environmental components such as air , water and soil
All construction activities generally cause disruptions to the pre project environmental quality. The
following environmental protection measures will be incorporated as part of terms and conditions of
contract for implementation by the contractor or the authority as appropriate. Recommendations are
made to minimize impacts during the construction phase as delineated below:
Environmental impacts during construction phase, will be mainly due to civil works such as the site
preparation, RCC foundation, construction etc.; material and machinery transportation, fabrication
and erection etc.; storage and handling of different kinds of flammable/hazardous materials etc. the
construction phase impacts are temporary (approx.1-2 years) and localized phenomena except the
permanent change in local landscape and landuse pattern at the projects site. However, they require
due consideration with importance during project execution and also whenever applicable detailed
protocol/procedures shall be implemented to prevent/mitigate adverse impacts and occupational
hazards.
a) Site Preparation
The site preparation and plant erection activities during construction phases would be carried out with
proper preventive measures for pollution control. At the time of civil works for proposed project units,
it is necessary to control PM levels through dust suppression methods.
Preparation of site will involve excavation and transport of substantial quantities of earthen material.
Site grading operations will also involve stock piling of backfill materials. Due care shall be taken
through slope stabilization to avoid water pollution problems during rainy season.
During dry weather conditions, it is necessary to control the dust emissions arising out of the
excavation, leveling, transportation and stockpiling activities by proper water sprinkling
The top soil removed from construction areas may be preserved to reuse for development of land-
scapes and horticulture in the later part of construction phase
b) Basic Facilities
The work force (Approximate 50 -100 workers) during construction phase would be significant. The
construction work force may temporarily migrate to project site, some may be with families. Sites for
construction and workers camp should be clearly demarcated to prevent occupational hazard. Project
proponents shall ensure provision for necessary basic needs and infrastructure facilities such as
water supply, sanitary facilities, housing, domestic fuel etc. to the families of construction workforce.
c) Occupational Health
Project proponent shall take care to include necessary clauses in respective construction tender/work
awards for maintaining strict compliance of occupational health standards for workers during duty
period including provision and usage of personnel protection equipment (PPE) such as protection, fire
protection gadgets to mitigate occupational health hazards.
Where, gases or fumes are likely to be present in trenches/foundations.Sufficient mechanical/artificial
ventilation shall be provided to protect the health and safety of persons working there. If necessary,
the personnel working in poorly ventilated work places shall be provided with respiratory protective
equipment.
d) Construction Equipment and Waste
Both diesel and gasoline powered construction machinery, vehicles etc. put in to operation at
project site shall be properly maintained to minimize exhaust emissions as well as noise
generation
Efforts should be made to prevent accidental spillage of any oil/grease from construction
equipment maintenance activities, and empty containers, rubber & plastic materials etc.
generated during construction is expected to be properly disposed of and MIDC authorities will
take care of these issues.
Through the effect of noise on the nearby inhabitants due to construction activity will be marginal.
Major noise prone activities will be restricted to only daytime.
The construction machinery will be maintained to minimize the noise generation.

will be totally depending on the number and type of industries in the coming up MIDC area. However
proper NOC will have tobe obtained from Director of Industrial Health and Safety by every industry to
submit it to MIDC.
Benefits of Organic Waste Convertor
The total MSW arriving on the site is cleared on the same day.
Provides a scientific method for the production of organic compost.
Elimination of pathogens and weed seeds
Problems of rodents and insect pests are avoided
Aesthetically acceptable
Treatment time is substantial reduced
Eco-friendly and economical
Requires less space for the treatment
Load on the landfill is reduced , thus requires less land for disposal
10.7.5 Management of Biological Environment
The main purpose of green belt development is to attenuate the adverse impacts, while keeping in
view the availability of vacant /open land, preferably wasteland. Because, conventionally the efficacy
of green belt in the pollution abatement mainly depends upon the simple principle of the width of the
green belt, tree heights to formulate green belt canopy while keeping inview the distance and
direction of source of pollution as well as the focal points of noise emitting sources like permanent
installations. Even, otherwise as per normal practice, the green belt thickness in the context of usual
wind direction, its velocity and intensity in the specific area.
An ideal green belt always imparts scenic beauty besides providing roosting /perching place for birds
and ground surface for naturally available reptiles, other flora and fauna species, to make the area
more natural and hazard free.
Criteria for selection of species of Green Belt:
The plant species suitable for green belt development should be selected based on the following
characteristics:
It should have thick canopy cover
They should be perennial and evergreen
They should have high sink potential for pollutants
They should be efficient in absorbing pollutants without significantly affecting their growth
Health sapling 2-3 years old will be planted to ensure better survival rate
Preference will be given for trees with ecological values followed by aesthetic value.

10.8.2 Energy Conservation
Energy conservation measures are often the easiest, quickest and cheapest way to reduce costs and
be environmentally pro-active.
Energy conservation program will be implemented through measures taken both on energy demand
and supply. Energy Conservation will be one of the focuses during the complex planning and
operation stages. The conservation efforts would consist of the following:
Reduce consumption
Use energy-efficient equipment’s
Create awareness
Architectural design
Public areas will be cooled by natural ventilation as opposed to air conditioning
Maximize the use of natural lighting through design
Passive solar cooling utilizing building shading through overhangs
There will be significant use of energy efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical
systems.
Energy efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems are planned in conformity
with Energy Conservation Building Code 2007.
Following measures are proposed:
1. Minimum light points and power consuming apparatus have been proposed.
2. Adequate use of internal light and air has been made by planning the blocks of houses in the
sun/wind direction.
3. Energy efficient LED fittings have been proposed in the street lighting against the 2 X 40 Watt
florescent tube lights.
4. Energy saving shall be made by the use of electronic timers in the automatic off/on operation of
the street lighting.
There is no budget allocation for CSR activities. However space is made available for common facility
center for bank, post office, hospital and drinking water pipeline connection on charges bases. For
infrastructure, road development activities related to village connectivity and street lights are carried
out. Last year a total expenditure of Rs. 100 crores was made for road laying or construction water
distribution network, street lights, water pipeline and construction of ESR. Drinking water is also made
available to nearby villages at lower rate.
10.10 INDUSTRIAL ECOLOGICAL CONCEPT
Industrial ecology (IE) is an interdisciplinary frame work for designing and operating systems almost
as living systems (interdependence of different components) it seeks to create a balance between
ecology and economics within local and global constraints. It is an offshoot of the concept of
sustainability.
IE supports coordination of design over the lifecycle of products and processes. It enables creation of
short term innovations with awareness of their long term impacts. It helps design local solutions that
contribute to global sustainance.
It helps companies become more competitive by improving their environmental performance and
strategic planning. IE helps communities develop and maintain a should industrial based and
infrastructure without sacrificing the quality of their environments and it helps government agencies
like MIDC to design policies and regulations that improve environment protection while building
business competitiveness in the MIDC region.
IE - principles and methods can be used by service as well as manufacturing companies. Application
of IE will improve the planning and performance of government operations, including local, regional
and national levels of infrastructure. While much of the initial work in IE has focused on
manufacturing, a full definition of industrial systems includes service, agricultural, manufacturing,
military, public operations such as infrastructure of landfills, water and sewage systems and
transportation systems proper environmental management through implementation of the measures
to be taken while in operation.
In other words, IE is a dynamic system-based framework that enables management of human activity
on a sustainable basis by:
Minimizing energy and materials usage through application of solar and wind resources.
Ensuring acceptable quality of life for people through infrastructural development and
employment
Minimizing the ecological impact of human activity to levels natural systems can sustain.
Conserving and restoring ecosystem health and maintaining biodiversity
Maintaining the economic viability of systems for industry, trade and commerce.
The industrial ecology approach involves
1. Application of systems science to industrial systems
2. Defining the systems boundary to incorporate the natural world and
3. Seeking to optimize that systems
In this context, “Industrial systems” applies not just to private sector manufacturing and service but
also government operation including provision of infrastructure.
Need for industrial ecology
We are is an era of exponential change in world systems, availability of development, construction of
natural capital, release of an increasing variety of toxic materials, climate change, and the impacts of
all of these forces on human and natural systems.
For instance, plastics from ocean dumping of garbages are entering in to food chain. The ocean
waters in northern seas are becoming less saline due to ice melting as a result of a warming
atmosphere.
Decision-makers and citizen need guidance from a system-based interdisciplinary frame work to deal
with complex interactions among such complex systems.
Industrial ecology may be able to help us perceive the whole system required to feed the planets
preserve and restore its farm lands, preserve ecosystems and biodiversity, and still provide water and
land for a growing population.
10.11 BUDGETARY PROVISION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Adequate budgetary provisions will be made available by MIDC for construction, operation and
maintenance of different pollution control systems. The total cost of the proposed expansion of
Butibori Industrial Area (BIA-Phase-II) is estimated to be Rs. 7000/- lakhs. The budgetary planning for
environmental protection, pollution prevention and environmental management activities is shown in
Table 10.5.
TABLE 10.5
BUDGETARY PROVISION FOR ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
11. Regular monitoring of effluent from different treatment units and also combined final discharge of
treated wastewater is recommended. Performance evaluation of effluent treatment plant as well
as sewage parameters covered under this study
12. There will be constant watch by the MIDC authorities to look into emissions and wastewater
generation and discharges. Any outlier will be informed accordingly by the MIDC through SPCB
for relevant actions as per SPCB rules and regulations.
13. Top priority will be given to rainwater harvesting in the industrial buildings besides, exploring the
feasibility of rainwater harvest
14. MIDC has acquired 275.58 ha land for the proposed expansion of Butibori MIDC. Most of it from
private agricultural land and Govt land. There is no R & R involved for this project. There is no any
dispute regarding land possession.
15. In view of the possible exposure of the operators to toxic gases at different work places, a
properly scheduled periodical diagnostic and health chackups shall be undertaken for the
employees, especially for operators and lower level workers engaged at critical work places. if
required, based on helath records,suitable rotation of duties for workers may be implemented at
critical work zones. Potencial hazards, safety procedures, emergency measures etc. shall be
deployed at suitable locations at all workplaces to mitigate occupational hazards.
16. The Environmental Cell of individual industry headed by a senior executive who report to the head
of HSEF dept. The environment cell consists of environment professionals with experience in
various aspects of environment management ranging from 7 years to 20 years. This cell tobe set
up during the construction of the indivisual plant under MIDC and has adequate expertise and
competency in handling and implementing the environment management systems and practices.
The Environment Cell will monitor and measure the environmental performance of the company.
17. The Environmental Cell that will be established by individual industry will be responsible for
implementing and maintaining environment management systems in the whole MIDC area under
the supervision of SPCB which includes air quality monitoring meterological observation, stack
emission, noise level measurement, treated effluent characterization, controlling ground water
pollution from leachates, green belt development, 3rd party environmental audit etc.
18. Risk assessment was carried out for proposed developmental activities in MIDC in operations
under abnormal conditions. MCA (Maximum creditable Accident) analysis has been worked our at
various wind velocities and atmospheric stability classes to estimate the maximum effective
distances in case of heat radiation, toxic releases, vapour cloud explosion, etc. A list of proble or
potential accidents of the major units under MIDC arising due to use, storage of handling of the
hazardous materials are examined to establish their credibility. Mitigation measures have been
recommended to tackle the emergencies. Disaster Management Plan (DMP) has been delineated
including the rules and responsibility of key persons. The project does not have much pollution
involved under routine operations. There may be risk only under extreme conditions which the
project authority will be capable of handling through its emergency response procedures and
disaster management plan as per the guidelienes imposed upon to safe guard the project.
Conclusion:-
The developments in proposed expansion of Butibori MIDC is environmentally, technically and
economically feasible
All the activities will be confined to non-forest area of the acquired land, and management with
a minimum possible emissions area allowed to enter the environment. Thus, the environment
will not be adversely affected in any way.
The development of plantation and greenbelt will help to increase the biodiversity of plants
and birds in the area.
Apart from this, the environmental management plan has delineated many measures to
reduce pollution by industrial developments under MIDC.
The enterprise social commitment policy (Previously CSR) would further bring out the
development of the surrounding villages and the area and quality of life of local people will be
improved
The cost environmental control and monitoring measures are computed Rs. 2300 lakh
(Capital and Recurring).
