Economizer & Air Preheater
To reutilize waste heat, economizer & air preheater will be provided. Technical specifications of the same will be
available after detailed engineering is carried out.
Economizer
It is the equipment which increases feed water temperature using waste heat of flue gases leaving the boiler through
chimney. It consists of large number of vertical cast iron water pipes. The boiler feed water (BFW) enters into
economizer through bottom pipe and then it comes to top pipe through vertical pipes. After that, it comes to boiler
drum for further working.
Here, hot flue gases coming from boiler pass over the vertical tubes of economizer. BFW temperature rises because
heat transfer takes place from flue gases to cold water rising in vertical tubes of economizer. Flue gases coming out
of boiler also carries some part of suspended particles which is called as soot. This soot normally gets deposited &
settles down over flat surfaces reducing the efficiency of economizer. To prevent soot deposition, soot blowers shall
be installed at selected locations to keep the external surface of pipe clean for better heat transfer. It has certain
advantages viz. increased life of boiler due to reduced boiler thermal stress at higher feed water temperature,
reduced fuel consumption due to waste heat utilization from flue gases, increased evaporation capacity of boiler.
Air Preheater
It is the equipment which increases the temperature of air before it is supplied to furnace using heat from flue gases
passing through chimney. There are basically two types of Air Pre-heater (APH) viz. Recuperative type & Regenerative
type. APH is installed in between Economizer & Chimney, consisting of large number of tubes which are arranged in
shell in the path of flue gases. Inlet air is provisioned at lower end. Baffles are also provided inside APH for proper
turbulence & better heat transfer co-efficient. Soot hopper is also at bottom.
Here, hot flue gases enter into tube from top of the shell & leaves from Chimney. The inlet air is admitted into shell
with the help of fans. The air passes upward around the tubes in the opposite direction to the flow of hot gases.
Baffles are installed inside APH which increases total path length of air & thus increases heat transfer. The heated
air leaves the upper end of tube bank absorbing heat from flue gases. Its advantages are increased combustion
rate & increased steam generation rate of boiler due to preheated air. Due to higher temperature of air, furnace
temperature increases so that low grade coal can be burnt efficiently. Heated air also increases thermal efficiency
of boiler due to reduced fuel consumption.
Air Cooled Condensers (ACC) & corresponding Water reduction
An ACC is a Direct Dry Cooling System where steam is condensed inside air-cooled finned tubes. Here, Latent heat
of vaporization is removed by cold ambient air flow outside the finned tubes. This defines the functionality of an ACC.
In thermal power plant, steam from turbine exhaust flows in to the ACC where condensation occurs. The condensate
then returns to the boiler in a closed loop. Since the steam coming from turbine exhaust is at low pressure, an ACC
works at a pressure close to vacuum (say 0.18-0.2 ata) & non-condensable gases are removed continuously by an
air evacuation unit.
Hence the thermal power plants equipped with ACC do not require large volume of cooling water. It is because Steam
Condensation duty at the exhaust of Turbine Generator, being one of the largest in consuming cooling water, is
balanced & satisfied by using cold ambient air instead of cooling water.
Thus, by proposing an ACC with 120 MW of Coal based Captive Co-generation Plant & 500 TPH Boilers with 10% of
extraction, it is estimated to have saving of 11,520 KLD (overall ~ 59.2 % of total water consumption after expansion)
at an optimized Cycle of Concentration (COC) of 10 & Temperature Difference of 8 deg Celsius. Detailed design will
be procured only after detailed engineering.

Typically, an air cooled condenser is made up of modules that are arranged in parallel rows. Each module contains
number of finned tube bundles. An axial flow of forced fan orients the cooling air across the heat transfer area of

1 ESP attached to Boilers Efficiency: 99.5% with One field extra PM: < 30 mg/Nm3
Technical Details of ESP
Electrostatic precipitation is a method of dust collection that uses electrostatic forces & consists of discharge wires
& collecting plates. High voltage is applied to discharge wires to form an electric field between the wires &
collecting plates & also ionizes the gas around discharge wires to supply ions. When gas that contains aerosol i.e.
dust, mist, flows between collecting plates & discharge wires, the aerosol particles in the gas are charged by ions.
The Coulomb force caused by electric field causes the charged particles to be collected on the collecting plates &
the gas is purified. This is the principle of Electrostatic precipitation. ESPs use electrostatic charges to separate
particles from dirty gases. High voltage, direct current electrodes are used to establish strong electric field. This
field, called as Corona, usually delivers a negative charge to particles as they pass through the device. This charges
forces the particles onto the walls of collecting plates. This collection plates are then rapped vibrated or washed
with water to dislodge the particles which fall into hopper.
Typical ESP has thin wires called discharge electrodes (DE) which are evenly spaced between large plates called
collection electrodes (CE). There are six steps process involved in ESP operation viz. Ionization (Charging of
particles), Migration (Transportation of charged particles to collecting plates), Collection (precipitation of charged
particles onto collecting surfaces), Charge dissipation (neutralizing charged particles on collecting surfaces), Particle
dislodging (removing particles from collecting plate to hopper), Particle removal (conveying particles from hopper to
disposal point).
Its advantages are that this is the more effective way to remove very small particles like smoke, dust, fly ash, etc.
having particle size in the range of 0.01 to 1.0 micron., most effective for high dust laden gases as high as 100
gm/m3, pressure drop is the least here, provides ease of operation, dust is collected in dry form. We will design ESP
in such a manner that operational ESP will have a standby field & working configuration shall be (N-1). It means
that whenever any operating filed fails, another standby field shall be put in line immediately. Even if that seems
not enough to control SPM emission level, boiler shall be turned down to minimum load, otherwise boiler shall be
stopped & ESP shall be rectified & attended.

dust suppression.
No change in existing waste water treatment scheme is envisaged. As mentioned in the earlier environment
clearance, waste water generated from the existing plants will be treated as follows:
Stream 1: The wastewater generated from DM Plant stream along with wastewater generated from the
Caustic Plant, Trichloroisocyanuric acid Plant, Hydrogen Peroxide Plant, Chloro Sulphonic Acid plant. After
giving appropriate primary treatment to reduce suspended solids and turbidity, while also controlling the pH, it
will be merged with outlet of Stream 2 for deep sea disposal.
Stream 2: Boilers Blowdown, process plant condensate, primary RO & DM reject and auxiliary cooling tower
blowdown having low TDS, will be merged and passed through RO (~3,000 KLD). Permeate from RO will be
reused in the plant while concentrated reject will be mixed with Stream 1, free from organics and heavy
metals, and disposed to sea
Stream 3: Organic streams from MCB, ONCB/PNCB, 2,4, DNCB and washings will be separately treated in ETP
having capacity ~ 325 KLD. Treated water will be fully recycled & reused in the process/utilities.
There will be no additional final waste water discharge.
Around 6,052 KLD (additional 125 KLD) waste water will be generated after proposed project. Treated water from
STP will be reused in gardening, hence it will further reduce fresh water consumption. ~41% of waste water
generated, i.e. 2,493 KLD (additional 125 KLD) treated water will be recycled and reused. Remaining treated waste
water will be collected in collection pond and after meeting the final GPCBs discharge norms, finally ~ 3,559 KLD
treated water will be discharged in GIDC pumping station for deep sea disposal.
Tentative breakup of waste water generation is provided in Table 2-16.

Cleaner Production Measures
The maximum utilization of imported coal.
Working area should be impervious to protect the soil contamination.
The vessels/storage tanks/storage drums, etc. should be closed properly.
Proper housekeeping practices.
Checking of all joints/flanges/mechanical equipment should be done at regular interval.
Maintenance of all equipment and utilities should be done at periodical interval.
In case of any spillage/leakages etc. in process and packaging are to be separately collected and disposed off
Instead of allowing these to effluent streams. This will reduce load and increase the efficiency of treatment
system.
Rain water harvesting system which will be reused for the gardening within premises therefore, overall fresh
water requirement will be reduced.

3.5 ESTABLISHMENT OF BASELINE FOR VALUED ENVIRONMENTAL COMPONENTS
3.5.1 Land Use
Methodology Adopted for Land Use / Land Cover Study
Land Use and Land Cover is classified in Annexure 16. The project area was placed, based on co-ordinates taken
on the site, on satellite imagery and determined the study area for the proposed project. The resulting satellite data
of study area was interpreted through onscreen visual interpretation using basic elements of interpretation resulting
in the combined land use/cover map for the proposed project.
To accomplish the objective the following steps were undertaken:
Study and collection of relevant documents and maps.
Interpretation of satellite data.
Ground truth study/Field survey.
Final map preparation.
Study and Collection of Relevant Documents and Maps
This covers:
Downloading of remote sensing data using the licensed software, Google Earth Pro having high resolution
(<1.0 m) imagery.
Topographical maps as base map.
Reconnaissance survey of the study area to get a general feel of the entire ground area which can aid in the
preliminary interpretation of the data.
Interpretation of Satellite Data
The downloaded satellite imagery was imported to software and geo referencing of the imagery was done by
registering it to the SOI maps through identification of common points between the map and the image.
Considering the basic elements of interpretation, such as tone, size, shape, texture, pattern, location, association,
shadow, aspect and resolution along with ground truth and ancillary information collected during the preliminary
reconnaissance survey, the interpretation was accomplished.
Ground Truth Studies/Field survey
A detailed ground truth was carried out to check the discrepancy of the interpreted data. It comprises of data
collection of ground features along with the respective geographical position in terms of latitudes and longitudes.
The aim of ground truth studies is to confirm whether the interpreted land use / cover are correct thus improving
the quality of the output. Interaction was done with local people to gather background information.
The field survey consisted of traversing the study area, cross-checking of unidentified features. Field notes were
kept in the form of log sheets recording information pertaining to co-ordinates, photographs and identified land
use/cover. Additional features identified or remarks made against existing interpretation were also recorded.

3.5.2 Long Term Meteorology
The general agro-climate zone of the study area is Semi-Arid. Information presented in subsequent paragraphs is
from the Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), Long Term Climatological Tables, 1961-1976, Broach (Station
ID: 42841). A copy of the long-term climatological data is enclosed as Annexure 17. These tables give useful
information about a region’s weather, since they are collected over a 15-year period.
Temperature
The period from March to May is one of continuous increase in temperatures. April is generally the hottest month
with a mean daily maximum temperature of about 39.9°C and mean daily minimum of about 23.1°C. The highest
temperature recorded is 47.8°C on 20th May 1955.
From November, both day and night temperatures begin to decrease rapidly. January is generally the coldest
month with the mean daily maximum temperature at about 31.2°C and mean daily minimum at about 11.3°C. Cold
waves sometimes affect the region in association with the passage of western disturbances across North India. On
such occasions, the minimum temperature sometimes drops down to 3-4°C. The lowest temperature recorded at
Ahmedabad is 4.0°C on 22nd January 1962.
During summer season, i.e. March – May, day temperatures remain between 18.6 – 39.9ºC
Humidity
Most humid conditions are found in the monsoons, followed by post-monsoons, winter and summer in that order.
Mornings are more humid than evenings and humidity ranges from a high of 81-90% in monsoon mornings to a
low of 29-39% in summer evenings.
During summer season, in morning relative humidity remains between 65 – 74 % and in the evening it remains
between 29 – 39 %.
Rainfall
The distribution of rainfall in the region, which includes the study area, is uneven. Average monthly rainfall in the
region is 912.1 mm. About 94.3% of the annual rainfall in the region is received during the southwest monsoon
months i.e. June to September. July is the rainiest month.
The annual average rainfall is about 912.1 mm. Maximum rainfall recorded was 460.0 mm 05 th August, 1976. July is
having maximum number of rainy days i.e. 13.5.
Cloud Cover
The area remains cloudy between June - September, which is the active period of the monsoon season. During this
time all clouds cover is between 4.3 to 6.7 Oktas during day time and 3.1 to 6.1 Oktas during night time.
In the summer season, cloud cover ranges from 0.2 to 1.9 OKTAS.
Wind
Long term wind direction data is presented in Table 3-5. Overall for the whole year, first predominant wind
directions are from SW Direction (45 %), second predominant wind direction is from NE (23 %) and third
predominant wind direction is from NW Direction (13 %).
During the summer period, first predominant wind direction is from SW direction (44.5 %), second predominant
wind direction is from NW Direction (20.0 %) and third predominant wind direction is from SE Direction (15.5 %).
Average wind speed in this period was 9.96 Km/Hr (2.8 m/sec).

Methodology to conduct baseline monitoring, impact assessment and to propose suitable mitigation measures is:
Site visit (for existing plant) and identification of sources of noise and vibrations.
Determining possible impacts of Noise & Vibrations on the environment from proposed activities.
Identifying monitoring locations and conducting Noise monitoring.
Prediction of incremental noise levels by using SoundPlan software.
Checking whether the increase of SPL in the locations surrounding the project makes conflicts with stipulated
allowable norms.
Suggestions of mitigation measures of Noise/Vibrations and to reduce noise/vibrations of sources exceeding the
allowable limits of SPL.
The standard for monitoring ambient noise level as per CPCB guidelines is as given in Table 3-13.

CHEMICALS LIMITED PCPIR, TA. VAGRA, DIST: BHARUCH (GUJARAT) DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Noise level varied from 52 dB (at Vargama Village) to 75 dB (At Vorasamni) during day time and 42 dB (at
Project boundary South side) to 63.8 dB (at Vorasamni) during night time.
Noise level at residential area during day & night time was slightly higher than the CPCB standards which could
be due to vehicular movements on nearby roads and construction activities in surrounding area.
Vibration
Vibration is a mechanical phenomenon whereby oscillations occur about an equilibrium point. The oscillations may
be periodic such as the motion of a pendulum or random such as the movement of a tire on a gravel road. Major
sources of vibration are blasting due to mining activities, vibration caused by motions of engines, electric motors, or
any mechanical device in operation theses are typically unwanted. Such vibrations can be caused by imbalances in
the rotating parts, uneven friction, the meshing of gear teeth, etc. such vibrations can be reduced by proper
designing.
During construction phase other than constructing structures, no major sources of vibrations are envisaged due to
proposed project.
3.5.7 Hydrology, Surface Water & Ground Water
The objective of monitoring surface and ground water in study area is to establish baseline water quality to identify
impact due to proposed activity.

CHEMICALS LIMITED PCPIR, TA. VAGRA, DIST: BHARUCH (GUJARAT) DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
Quality of Ground Water
The area is in the close proximity of sea. The aquifer comprises of saline water containing high TDS. The wells located
near the surface water bodies are only yielding relatively good quality water. It is observed and confirmed from
chemical analysis of groundwater samples.
It is observed that ground water quality, as per IS 10500:2012 standard limits for drinking water, deviates for
following parameters (all unit in mg/lit) at different villages:
TDS at Juned (4,716), Ankot (2,856), Vagra (2,756) & Saykha (2,248);
Chlorides at Juned (2,216), Ankot (1,259) & Vagra (1,018);
Total Hardness at Ankot (680), Vorasamni (640) & Vagra (710);
Magnesium at Juned (151), Ankot (118), Vorasamni (114) & Vagra (124).
From this observation it confirmed that dilution in water quality is likely.
In past most of the wells located near the surface water bodies like pond, streams were in use for drinking purpose.
After commencement of water supply for drinking purpose from Narmada canal/pipeline these became redundant.
The saline water yielded from wells is used for domestic purposes other than drinking water.
The observed higher concentration of TDS, Chloride & Sulphate is due to saline geological formations. Higher
concentration of Total Hardness, Nitrate, Fluoride, Calcium and Magnesium is due to near proximity of Arabian Sea.
3.5.8 Geology
Topography & Drainage
Topographically the area is almost flat having little variation in ground gradient. There is a seasonal river named
Bhukhi draining the area. It flows from Northeast to almost Westerly direction downstream side of proposed plant.
Geology
The geological formation in and around proposed plant site is comprising of alluvial formation of recent-sub recent
age. The alluvial formation comprises of alternated beds of Sand, Clay and Kanker. The sand layer exhibits various
grain size from fine to medium, the proportion of fine sand is dominating. The intervening clay layer is sticky having
poor hydraulic conductivity.
Hydrogeology
The groundwater occurrence in this area is under perched, water table and semi-confined (Leaky confined)
conditions. The depth to water in and around area is ranging from 4-10 m bgl.
At site the applicable transmissibility value may ranging from 60-90 m2/day and permeability may range form 3-6
m/day and specific yield value may range from 3-4%. Apparently, one feels that these are poor aquifer
characteristics but it is not so.
These are aquifer in the close proximity of sea. The aquifer comprises of saline water containing high TDS. The
wells located near the surface water bodies are only yielding relatively good quality water. It is observed and
confirmed from chemical analysis of groundwater samples collected during field visit. From this observation it
confirmed that dilution in water quality is likely.
In past most of the wells located near the surface water bodies like pond, streams were in use for drinking purpose.
After commencement of water supply for drinking purpose from Narmada canal/pipeline these became redundant.
The saline water yielded from wells is used for domestic purposes other than drinking water.

code assigns zone factor of 0.36 for Zone 5. Structural designers use this factor for earthquake resistant design of
structures in Zone 5.It is referred to as the Very High Damage Risk Zone.
Zone 4
High Damage Risk Zone: Covers areas liable to MSK VIII. The IS code assigns zone factor of 0.24.
Zone 3
Moderate Damage Risk Zone: Liable to MSK VII. The IS code assigns zone factor of 0.16.
Zone 2
This region is liable to MSK VI or less and is classified as the Low Damage Risk Zone. The IS code assigns zone
factor of 0.10 (maximum horizontal acceleration that can be experienced by a structure in this zone is 10% of
gravitational acceleration).
Note: MSK: The Medvedev–Sponheuer–Karnik scale, also known as the MSK is a macro seismic intensity scale used
to evaluate the severity of ground shaking on the basis of observed effects in an area of
the earthquake occurrence.

3.5.9 Soil
The locations for soil sample collection were randomly selected at the project site as well as from the surrounding
areas namely Soil-1 to Soil-07. The soil samples from 0-15 cm depth were collected by using spade and pawada.
The samples were homogenized and about 1 Kg soil sample was collected in the polyethylene bag. Labelled with
sample ID which includes site numbers and project name. The samples were brought to the laboratory for analysis
of physical (porosity, water holding capacity, permeability, and particle size distribution) and chemical properties
(cation exchange, electrical conductivity, sodium adsorption ratio, pH, Ca, Mg, Na, K).

Observations of Biodiversity Appraisal
Project site is a part of the industrial area. All flora and fauna species reported from project area are common
component of the various habitat of the buffer zone. Flora and fauna components will not get affected in normal
operation / function of the project and its associated activities by implementation of proper safety measures and
control devices. Being an industrial area, considering cumulative impacts due to other adjacent industries, strict
implementation of EMP / mitigation measures are required to ensure that the biodiversity of the study area should
not impacted negatively.
3.5.11 Socio-Economics
The main objectives of the socio economic need assessment study are:
To provide an accurate representation of the social, cultural and economic conditions of the population
surrounding the project site;
To identify the potential socio-economic positive and negative impacts during the construction, operations and
decommissioning phase of the proposed project;
To develop sustainable mitigation measures to enhance positive impacts and reduce or avoid negative impacts;
To develop proper monitoring and evaluation system with accountability to be implemented;
To identify the CSR benefits for the target population.
Methodology Adopted for Social-Economic Survey
The approach of conducting baseline survey / Need Based Assessment is to bring views of the people as to find out
what are the issues being faced, what is their understanding of development, which are the areas that need to be
worked upon based on needs of the communities so as to implement sustainable CSR interventions.
The study area is defined as an area lying within aerial distance of 10 km from the project area boundaries. The core
area as part of social survey has been defined as 0-3 Km from the proposed project site. This has been done using
professional judgment considering the realistic impact zone of the project.
Socio-economic fieldwork comprises of undertaking a structured household survey format focusing on population,
household composition, education levels, general health status, livelihood strategies, employment, income level, and
holding focus group discussions considering the origins and movements of the local population and social
concerns/issues in relation to the proposed project. The buffer zone villages are selected by random sampling method.
In the selected villages, focused group discussions, consultation with people of various cross section of the society
like teachers, fishermen etc. and meeting with Village Panchayat representative are conducted.
The procedural approach (methodology) is given in Table 3-31.

4.2.1 Emission Rates
Point Source Emissions
As per the discussions with BODAL officials, following relevant data were collected to calculate emission rates of
relevant pollutants from point source due to proposed activities during operation phase:
Quantity of fuel;
Fuel analysis as per Annexure 9;
Stack details: Internal diameter at top, height*, exit gas velocity, temperature.
* Stack Height is calculated based on the sulphur content in Imported Coal, considering worst case, i.e. when all
APCM fails.
Details of proposed stacks & APCM are given in Table 2-10. Emissions rates from proposed point source (flue gas
stacks & process stacks) as per the above emissions are shown in Table 4-3.
Volume Source Emissions
From the proposed project, there will be no volume source, emitting PM. Storage of coal will be done in closed
shed. Emission rates from coal yard are not considered as the proposed coal will be stored in covered storage area.
Thus, this is not considered for dispersion modelling.
Line Source Emissions
Vehicular emissions, mainly CO & HC’s are envisaged due to movement of these vehicles on six lane “ pakka” road
having 24 m width. Dispersion modelling is not considered for line source emissions as the roads are “ pakka”,
hence no significant addition of GLCs are envisaged due to vehicular movement.

Dispersion Modelling
Emissions from all the stacks were analysed for their impacts on the GLC for various distances using the dispersion
modelling guidelines of AERMOD, developed by the AERMIC (American Meteorological Society (AMS)/United States
Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA), as directed by CPCB.
About AERMOD
AMS/EPA Regulatory Model (AERMOD) is a steady-state plume model. It is designed to apply to source releases and
meteorological conditions that can be assumed to be steady over individual modelling periods (typically one hour or
less). AERMOD has been designed to handle the computation of pollutant impacts in both flat and complex terrain
within the same modelling framework.
The American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model Improvement Committee
(AERMIC) was formed to introduce state-of-the-art modelling concepts into the EPA's air quality models. Through
AERMIC, a modelling system, AERMOD, was introduced that incorporated air dispersion based on planetary
boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts, including treatment of both surface and elevated
sources, and both simple and complex terrain.
AERMET is an input data processor that is one of the regulatory components of the AERMOD modelling system. It
incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and scaling concepts.
Data flow in Aermod modelling system is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Data Flow in AERMOD Modelling System
Meteorological Parameters
The hourly meteorological data considered were wind speed, wind direction, ambient atmospheric temperature,
cloud cover, humidity & rainfall for the study period.
Other Assumptions
The dispersion modelling assumptions considered are as follows:
The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT;
Stability class and Atmospheric inversion level is based on software’s database;
DG sets are not in operation (as it will be used as emergency source of power).

4.2.2 Predicted GLCs
Emission standards of MOEF and CPCB are considered for modelling purpose. In actual, the emissions will be lesser
then it is calculated for and it is unlikely to cause abundant GLCs. Air dispersion modelling results with predicted
GLC (Isopleths) from proposed activity of all parameters are provided in Annexure 22. Maximum 24 hourly

Conclusion
Comparing the incremental ground level concentrations of pollutants with the ambient air quality limits prescribed
by CPCB & as per Factories Act, it can be concluded the following:
Incremental GLC’s for all parameters remain within 250 to 750 meters from the project site;
Air impact are not expected to cause any effect on vegetation and human settlements in the vicinity of the
project site.
Online monitoring system will be provided at power plant stack exhaust, which, if exceeds the limit of 30 mg/Nm 3,
will trigger the alarm and plant load will be lowered/ESP field will be switched/ Plant will be shut down. Online
monitoring system will be connected with CPCB & GPCB servers also. Operation of power plant in such case would
be unlikely.
However, in response to TOR, air quality modelling was carried out considering the partial (75% efficiency,
considering one out of four field failure) and complete failure of the ESP. Details are provided in Annexure 23.
Mitigation Measures
Mitigation measures for air quality impacts are:
CFBC Boilers will be purchased having higher sulphur reduction efficiency by Lime dosing;
Adequate height of 85 m will be provided as per the statutory requirements to flue gas stacks attached to
boilers. APC like Cyclone separators, bag filters & ESPs will be installed;
Online sensors for PM, SO2 & NOx shall be provided with flue gas stack attached to boilers;
Plant load will be maintained to reduce the air emissions;
Effective water spraying will be done on the access roads to control re-entrained dust during dry season;
Proper operating procedures will be followed during startup and shutdown;
Proper PPE like dust masks will be provided to workers and its use ensured;
Regular Work place monitoring will be done.
4.2.3 Impact of Traffic & Incremental Traffic
During operation phase, vehicular emissions due to transportation of raw materials and hazardous waste are
envisaged. Approximately additional ~ 50-60 trucks per day shall be using the state highway, SH – 161, connecting
Site with Bharuch & Vagra.
Based on the traffic survey conducted on SH – 161 (from Bharuch to Vagra & from Vagra to Bharuch), it is noted:
Average peak hourly traffic on this route is 86 and 85 PCU respectively;
From the proposed project, additional 24 PCU’s per hour will be added on SH-161;
Thus, the maximum PCU on the road will be 110 (Bharuch to Vagra) & 109 (Vagra to Bharuch);
As per IRC, carrying capacity of this road is 900 PCU8.
Thus, the road is capable of carrying the excess traffic from the proposed project. Summary of traffic survey (peak
hourly) are given in Table 4-6 & Table 4-7. Detailed traffic survey sheets are attached as Annexure 20.

4.3 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
For the purpose of impact predictions on noise environment, the impact assessment methodology is given in Table
1 of Annexure 21. Based on the identified aspects from project activities, impact scores and operational controls /
mitigation measures on noise environment are tabulated in Table 4-8.
4.3.1 Assessment of Noise using SoundPlan
Noise Modelling study was done using the Software tool “Sound Plan” essential 3.0 software, which predicts the
Noise Map generated due to the sources present at the project site and predicts the Noise Levels at various receiver
points due to the sources present at the project site.
To analyse the Noise Map of the project site, first, the geometrically coordinated Google Earth images of the Project
site were imported into the software. Various Sources of noise were added with their approximate Sound Pressure
Levels, and the “Receiver points” were added at various locations where Noise Monitoring was conducted.
“SoundPlan” generates the Noise Map with colored pattern Isopleths, which indicate whether or not the SPL in that
particular region exceeds the CPCB limits. If the SPL is above the “user set” allowable limit, the area will be shown
in Red contour depending upon the Difference between then Predicted SPL and the Allowable SPL. Otherwise, it will
be shown in Green contour.
For the proposed project, Soundplan is run for the 3 locations only which is located within 1 Km area, the base line
monitoring is done for the 3 Km area.

Mitigation Measures
The proposed activities will not have any conflict in Noise levels comparing to the prescribed CPCB limits. Mitigation
measures for noise quality impacts are:
Provision of Acoustic Enclosures on major noise generating stationary equipment in the plant.
Provision of suitable personal protective equipment (PPE) such as earmuffs and earplugs to Workers exposed
to high noise generating operations/area.
Job Rotation of workers working in the high noise area.
Periodic preventive maintenance of plant equipment and machinery to ensure proper functioning and
minimizing noise generation.
Identification of High noise generating areas and marking with display board for warning.
Development of thick Green belt within the plant premises and along project boundary to screen noise.
Provision of Acoustic mufflers / enclosures in large engines/machinery.
All equipment operated within specified design parameters.
Implement good working practices (equipment selection) to minimize noise and reduce its impacts on human
health (earmuffs, safe distances, and enclosures).

4.4 WATER ENVIRONMENT
For the purpose of impact predictions on ground & surface water environment, the impact assessment methodology
is given in Table 1 of Annexure 21. Based on the identified aspects from project activities, impact scores and
operational controls / mitigation measures on water environment are tabulated in Table 4-13.
4.4.1 Impact on Ground Water
No adverse impact on groundwater is envisaged as no withdrawal of groundwater is proposed in the project.
4.4.2 Impact on Surface Water
Surface water quality and quantity will not be affected by the proposed project, since no untreated waste water will
be disposed outside the factory premises, by taking various recycling and reuse steps as discussed in Chapter 2,
Section 2.13.2.
Only, during the heavy rainfall, water through internal storm water drains will meet nearest storm water drain
constructed by GIDC leading to Estuary. Hence, there will be minor impact on the surface water.
4.4.3 Mitigation Measures
Following mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the impact on the water environment:
During construction phase, sewage will be disposed into soak pit and septic tank. Regular cleaning will be
carried out.
Treated water will be recycled and reused in process make up and utilities.
Properly designed effluent drains will be provided & inflow will be diverted to ETP & RO for necessary
treatment. Separate ETP will be provided for organic streams and plant wash water.
Drip irrigation system will be proposed for greenbelt development to reduce fresh water demand.
Process, chemical fuel storage and handling area will have proper bunds and dyke walls as applicable so that
contaminated run-off cannot meet the storm-water line. In case of leakage, leaked fuel/chemical shall be
immediately transferred to the spare tank;
Rainwater harvesting from rooftop shall be done.
The overall impact on surface water quality will be negligible by following all precautionary measures as mentioned
in mitigation measures.
4.4.4 Rain water harvesting
The groundwater quality at site and in study area is saline because of formational properties and hence rainwater
recharging will not be advisable. It is suggested to store maximum rainwater and used for various purposes to
reduce use of freshwater consumption.
Proposed Rainwater Harvesting Plan
Quantity of Rain water collected depends upon average rainfall intensity, catchment area & run-off coefficient.
For rainwater collection calculations, areas like process and storage areas, etc are excluded due to having possible
chances of rainwater contamination.
The nearest IMD station is Bharuch (Broach) having maximum rainfall intensity 0.353 m/day and 0.912 m/annum.
Number of rainy days are 41.2. Detailed rain water availability calculation is given in Table 4-11 and Table 4-12.
The area breaks up of site is given in Table 2-1. As per area breakup, only rooftop areas, greenbelt and paved
area are considered for rainwater collection. The detailed calculations for rainwater collection are tabulated in
Table 4-11 & Table 4-12.

4.6 ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY
Based on the identified aspects of project activities, impact scores and operational controls / mitigation measures
on nearby ecology & biodiversity are tabulated in Table 4-19.
4.6.1 Greenbelt Development
Greenbelt not only provides habitat for faunal species but also helps to suppress air and noise pollutants up to
some extent. This will not only mitigate the ecological problem but also enhance the beauty of project area that will
attract avifauna, small mammals & insect species, and by this way ecological balance can be maintained to great
extent.
Selection of Plant Species
Considering the environmental status of project area four main parameters like salinity, draught, fire resistance,
species with faster growth rate and ever green nature will be considered while selecting the species. Facts considered
during selection of plant species for greenbelt development are:
Agro climatic zone (Semi-arid to dry sub humid – as per CPCB) of the project area;
Evergreen species to mitigate cumulative impacts due to other industries also;
Type of pollutant (mainly air) likely to disperse from project activities;
Biological–filter Efficiency: Absorption of gases, Dust capturing and Noise control.
Plantation Technique
Following basic procedures will be followed for greening the area:
Since the project area having poor / slightly saline soil quality, plantation of tree species required approx. 1m 3
pit for soil enrichment;
Pit will be filled with imported soil with 3:1:1 the ratio of sand, silt and form yard manure;
Procure well grown saplings of recommended species from the nearby Forest Department nursery;
Make 1m diameter ring bund around the planted saplings for water retention;
Watering of sapling will be species specific, therefore watering need to be done 2 days for a period of two
years except during monsoons.
Locations of the Proposed Greenbelt
Greenbelt will be developed within project site boundary and within various identified locations of LIZ of 1.5 km.
4.6.2 Greenbelt within Project Boundary
Total greenbelt area of 1,20,977 m2 (~25% of total plot area) has been already allotted for greenbelt development
within project boundary which is mentioned in the previous EIA report, which will be maintained after the
expansion project. Considering 9 m2 (3x3) for one tree, project area will have plantation of 13,442 plants of
suggested species. Plantation will be carried out around periphery, near / around built-up areas and along internal
roads of the project area. Plant species suggested for Greenbelt and Landscaping at various locations are tabulated
in Table 4-15.

Monitoring Management Protocol
Green Belt
Plantations will be managed by regular watering, soil enrichment work, applying manure, weeding and provide
proper protection;
Replacement of sapling (replanting) required whenever mortality occurs in the plantation during the growth
stage;
After care for a period of minimum five years till the saplings attain matured tree stage will be done;
Any damage to the developed greenbelt due to any natural or unforeseen activities will be attended by
redeveloping and maintained it.
Biodiversity / Ecological Monitoring
Since the identified impact zone area supports Schedule-I species i.e. Peacock; population of these species will be
monitored. Status survey of these species will be conducted at regular intervals and reported to the local forest
department. Status survey of these species will be conducted at regular intervals & Survival rate of the plantation
will be monitored within project site as well as other plantation carried out in the LIZ area.
Conclusion
Proposed project site is located in the barren land and does not support any species of conservation significance
and also not forms critical habitat.
All flora and fauna species reported are common component of the buffer zone. So, removal of these common floral
species from core zone will not result in the loss of floral diversity in true sense and will not have significant /
permanent impact on the species diversity and habitat structure of associated faunal diversity. As the Common
peafowl is commonly available in the region, scheduled species shall be conserved through habitat improvement.
Flora and fauna components will not get affected in normal function of the project and its associated activities by
implementation of proper safety measures and control devices.
Considering cumulative impacts due to other adjacent industries, strict implementation of EMP / mitigation
measures are required to ensure that the biodiversity of the study area is not impacted negatively.

CHEMICALS LIMITED PCPIR, TA. VAGRA, DIST: BHARUCH (GUJARAT) ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES
5.1 ALTERNATIVE SITE
No alternative sites were assessed, since the power & steam requirement is envisaged for in house use. The
existing site has adequate land and environmental infrastructure to manage environmental impacts.
In-house benefits: Existing infrastructure available.
5.2 ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY
5.2.1 Circulating Fluidized Bed Combustion (CFBC) Technology
The Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) is a latest technology for coal combustion to achieve lower emission of
pollutants.
Extensive research has been conducted on this technology for the past 10 years because pollution in the world is
getting more serious and clean practice will be very crucial for the sustainability of the earth. The importance of this
technology has grown recently because of tightened environmental regulations for pollutant emission.
During the combustion phase, upwards jets of air will cause the solid fuels to be suspended. This is to ensure the
air and solids (coal powder and limestone) will mix together turbulently for better combustion and heat transfer.
Additionally, the sulphur absorbing chemical and fuel will be recycled to increase the efficiency of producing a
higher quality steam as well as lower the emission of pollutants. Therefore, it will be possible to use circulating
fluidized bed technology to burn fuel in a much more environmental friendly method as compared to other
conventional processes.
SOx & NOx Control
NOx emissions from the latest CFBC boilers are much lower. This is mainly due to the lower combustion
temperature 800–900°C found in fluidized bed combustion. In addition, further reductions in NO x emissions results
from the multilevel staged combustion utilized in modern CFBC boilers. The emission of NO x is the final result in the
balance between its formation (mostly from fuel-bond nitrogen in CFBs) and its rapid reduction by unburned CO
species present in the lower furnace. Because of the low temperatures encountered in the CFBC furnace, very little
thermal NOx is formed. With all such features of CFBC, it is controlled well within the prescribed environmental
norms.
Reduction of SO2 emission in CFBC boilers is accomplished by the injection of limestone into the furnace. The
limestone is calcined using a small amount of heat generated by combustion of fuel and this reacts with gaseous
sulphur to generate solid sulphate which is either captured in ESP or it is retained in the bed material and removed
as bottom ash. The ash can be utilized in cement industries and/or brick manufacturing units.
The most important aspect of limestone system is that it is designed for even distribution of limestone over the
furnace across the section.

Conclusion
The Social Management Plan (SMP) therefore concentrates on mitigation of perceived impacts during running of the
plant. The plan emphasizes on health, hygiene, drinking water, Public infrastructure.
The SMP encourages community participation to minimize and mitigate any grievance that may arise during the
period of ESC projects implementation. An NGO might be appointed, if needed, by the company to ensure
community participation, mitigate potential adverse impacts and help in resolving any disputes and grievances that
may arise. It would also engage in awareness programs with community and encourage selected community
members specifically the poorer sections and women to get employed in the Contractor’s activities. This is expected
to accrue several benefits - the Contractor would gain from local wisdom and knowledge and nuances that need to
be taken care of and the community would get access to gainful employment closer to home.
Overall, the project would improve quality of life of the surrounding villages in study area.

7.1 PUBLIC CONSULTATION
This section shall be updated after completion of Public Consultation Process in Final EIA report.
7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT
7.2.1 Consequence Analysis
Key issues in Risk Assessment (RA) of the proposed project are discussed in this chapter. The risk assessment
process is intended to identify probable hazards in the work environment and all operations, to quantify the hazards
and to assess the risk levels of those hazards in order to prioritize those that need an immediate attention.
In the unlikely event that an abnormal consequence has occurred, the disaster management will be activated. This
includes prescribing the procedures pertaining to a number of issues such as communication, encounter, rescue,
rehabilitation and further steps to prevent recurrence of such consequence in future. These issues are addressed in
the disaster management plan.
Both, the RA and DMP are living documents and need to be updated whenever there are changes in operations,
equipment or procedures.
7.2.2 Methodology of Consequence Analysis
The methodology includes,
Hazard identification;
Selection of potential loss scenarios;
Simulation of release source model on DNV’s PHAST 7.1;
Plotting the damage contour on site map.
These steps undertaken to carry out risk assessment for this project are described in the below sections.
7.2.3 Hazard Identification
The project description, and other project related data provided by Bodal have been comprehensively reviewed to
identify the hazardous operations. Also the information on the hazardous properties of all the materials / chemicals
handled at the site has been reviewed to identify the hazards associated with the same.
Bodal Chemicals proposes Captive Co-generation Plant of 120 MW. The main risk prone priority zones for the proposed
project are high pressure boiler, high pressure steam pipelines, high voltage electrical equipment/system, acid, base
& chlorine storage facilities, coal handling plant / storages and HSD storage facilities.
Amongst these key hazardous inventories include the following:
Solid Fuel Storages: Coal;
Liquid Fuel Storages: HSD.
The proposed project involves storage of some of the chemicals / fuel at the site which can lead to uncontrolled
release of hazardous material causing hazard. On the basis of this, the important hazards that can lead to accident
in the proposed project are described in Table 7-1.

Vapor Cloud Explosion Explosion resulting from vapor clouds formed from flashing liquids or non-flashing liquids and gases
Hazard and Damage Assessment
Toxic, flammable and explosive substances released from sources of storage as a result of failures or catastrophes,
can cause losses in the surrounding area in the form of:
Toxic gas dispersion, resulting in toxic levels in ambient air;
Fires, fireballs, and flash back fires, resulting in a heat wave (radiation), or;
Explosions (Vapors Cloud Explosions) resulting in blast waves (overpressure).
Consequence of Fire /Heat Wave
The effect of thermal radiation on people is mainly a function of intensity of radiation and exposure time. The effect
is expressed in terms of the probability of death and different degree of burn. The consequence effects studied to
assess the impact of the events on the receptors are provided in Table 7-2.

Consequences of Overpressure
The effects of the shock wave vary depending on the characteristics of the material, the quantity involved and the
degree of confinement of the vapor cloud. The peak pressures in an explosion therefore vary between a slight over-
pressure and a few hundred kilopascals (kPa). Whereas dwelling are demolished and windows and doors broken at

Consequences of Toxic Release
The effect of exposure to toxic substance depends upon the duration of exposure and the concentration of the toxic
substance.
Short-term exposures to high concentration give Acute Effects while long term exposures to low concentrations
result in Chronic Effects.
Only acute effects are considered under hazard analysis, since they are likely credible scenarios. These effects are:
Irritation (respiratory system, skin, eyes);
Narcosis (nervous system);
Asphyxiation (oxygen deficiency);
System damage (blood organs).
7.2.4 Consequence Analysis for Selected Failure Scenario
The project description, and other project related data have been comprehensively reviewed to identify the
hazardous chemicals and information on the hazardous chemical properties (MSDS) of all the chemicals handled at
the site has been reviewed to identify the hazards associated with the same. Their properties are tabulated in
Table 7-4 and storage details are already mentioned in Chapter 2, Section 2.9, Page No. 50.
Failure scenarios
In this study, toxic and flammable hazards are relevant. There is a possibility of failure associated with each
mechanical component of the plant (vessels, pipes, pumps or compressors). These are generic failures and can be
caused by such mechanisms as corrosion, vibration or external impact (mechanical or overpressure).
The range of possible releases for a given component covers a wide spectrum, from a pinhole leak up to a
catastrophic rupture (of a vessel) or full bore rupture (of a pipe). For the purpose of QRA in an objective manner,
representative failure cases are generated covering both the range of possible releases and their total frequency.
Accordingly, the following typical types of failures are considered:
Minor Leak: 1 mm
Medium Leak: 2 mm, 5 mm, 25 mm
Major Leak: Catatrophic Rupture
Based on the storage of raw material and fuel used in the proposed project, the following chemical and equipment
are identified for the purpose of this consequence analysis study:

contractors, visitors, transporters driver/cleaners etc. are suitably counselled to cope up with the traumatic
effect, if any.
Heads of Departments e.g. Operations, Engineering, Personnel & Administration, Occupational Health Centre,
Safety and all concerned dep't. Will visit the site to counsel all personnel at location and when required visit the
victim's relatives for moral support and defusing any negative effect on personal performance.
Communication System
Communication is the lifeline of handling an emergency. When an emergency occurs it is necessary to raise the
alarm immediately, to declare an emergency, to inform the emergency controllers, to inform the plant emergency
services and affected areas within the plant as well as outside if necessary.
Therefore, the following facilities are provided in the plant for an effective two way communication:
Intercoms, public address system, company mobiles and walkie-talkie for normal and emergency in-plant
communication.
Fire and emergency sirens for raising an alarm for emergency and alerting all essential services.
Non-dedicated external telephone for emergency contacts with works emergency controllers, fire brigades,
hospitals and police and for all other contacts including district authorities, Government agencies, neighboring
industries etc.
When the external telephones are not working, an emergency vehicle with a messenger could also be used for
outside communication. Communication to the neighbouring public, if necessary, should always be made through
police and their wireless van.
Addition to the above, there will be siren system, which will be sounded for different stages of emergency.
Warning, Alarm and Safety and Security Systems Sirens
1. Motor Operated
Emergency Sirens will be installed at heights on the top of the roofs of buildings structures and the push button
switches will be provided at suitably approachable inside the premises.

7.4 ONSITE EMERGENCY PLAN
Online Emergency Plan covering emergency procedures, general instructions, actions to be taken before
emergency, Actions to be taken during the Emergency including Emergency Response to a Storage Tank Fire/
Explosion, Actions to be taken after the Emergency and Safety Control Measures for Handling and Storage of Most
Hazardous Chemicals was already provided in the previous EIA report (as uploaded on MoEF&CC’s website).
Yet, for the proposed Captive Co-generation Plant, major key concern area is storage of Coal.
Coal Storage, Handling & Safeguard Practices
Coal, as a primary fuel, must meet several requirements in order to be explosive. These requirements are volatile
ratio, particle size, and quantity. The volatile ratio is a value established by the former United States Bureau of
Mines to evaluate the explosibility of coals based on large-scale tests in the Experimental Coal Mine. To calculate
the volatile ratio, a proximate analysis must be performed in the laboratory on a sample of the coal. This analysis
determines the volatile matter and fixed carbon quantities of the coal along with moisture and ash. The volatile
ratio is defined as the volatile matter divided by the summation of volatile matter and fixed carbon of the coal. This
method for calculating the volatile ratio produces a value independent of the natural or added incombustible in the
coal. It has been determined that coals with a volatile ratio exceeding 0.12 present a dust explosion hazard.
Another important requirement of the fuel is related to particle size. Small coal dust particles require less energy or
temperature to ignite and, since heat transfers more quickly between smaller particles, the pressure and rate of
pressure rise during an explosion are accentuated.
The third requirement for explosibility is related to the quantity of coal dust available, known as the minimum
explosive concentration (MEC). This is the minimum quantity of dust in suspension that will propagate a coal dust
explosion and generate sufficient pressure to cause damage. On the other hand, the hazard can be lessened with
the addition of ash, rock dust, inert gas, and any other inert material. It is therefore noted that the higher ash
quantity may therefore inhibit dust explosions.
Considering the above information, the following safeguards are proposed with respect to proposed plant and will
be implemented as per the need.
Coal stock yard shall be minimum 500 meters away from the residential area, school/colleges, Historical
Monuments, Religious Places, Ecological sensitive area as well as forests area
Coal will be stored in such a way that coal heap will not be higher than 5 meter and clear distance between two
adjoining heaps will be 5 meters, so that in case of fire, approach is available
Mechanized loading/ unloading system from the loading /unloading area to the stacking yards and in to the
vehicles will be adopted
Compound wall all along periphery of the premises with minimum 9 meters height will be constructed
Continuous water sprinkling will be carried out on the top of the heap at regular intervals to prevent dusting,
fire & smoke.
To prevent fugitive emission during loading/unloading, dust suppression system shall be installed.
Water sprinkling shall be carried out at each and every stage of handling to avoid generation of coal dust or
other dust within premises
Regular sweeping of coal dust from internal and main road and also ensure that there is adequate space for
free movement of vehicles.
Dust suppression system for the coal stack, Loading and unloading
Construction of effective wind breaking wall suitable to local condition to prevent the suspension of particles
from the heaps.
Construction of metal road in the plot area/ godown etc.
System for regular cleaning of the floor area within the premises.
Entire coal storage area/ godown will be covered with permanent weather shed roofing and side walls i.e., in
closed shed, in case of crushing/sieving/grading activity is carried out along with adequate additional APCM.

Proposed Captive Co-Generation Plant
For generating 120 MW from the proposed captive co-generation plant, steam generation of 250 TPH which was
already proposed in previous environment clearance application (which is yet to be installed) will be used and a new
steam generation capacity of 250 TPH shall be procured.
Steam turbine generators will be extraction cum condensing turbines. Total steam generated from the boilers will
drive turbines, which in turn will produce the above mentioned steam through extraction and power while operating
in extraction cum condensing mode.
The imported coal will be fed to furnace of the CFBC Boilers through feeders from the coal storage. Limestone will be
added to coal to reduce SOx emission. The saturated steam will be generated in the boiler drum and passed to the
primary, secondary & final super heaters to get the superheated steam from the boilers. The superheated steam will
be fed to the steam turbine and it rotates the steam turbine which is coupled with generators. 120 MW power will be
generated in the generators and distributed in house and partly steam will be used in process.
Air cooled condensers will be provided which will reduce water consumption by 11,520 KLD.

11.1.3 Manpower
During the construction phase around additional 250 workers will be hired. During operation phase, project will
generate additional direct employment for more than 100 people along with additional indirect employment for
around 100 people.
11.1.4 Air Emissions & Control
Point Source Emissions (SPM, SO2 & NOx) from boiler stack shall be controlled by multistage ESP with one filed
extra;
Line Source Emissions (CO, HC, PM, NOx) from additional ~ 50-60 trucks is anticipated;
Specific instances of fugitive dust generation include dust blow down by wind from the stockpiles of various
solid materials viz. coal and lime, dust caused by vehicular traffic within the factory, dust emissions from
conveyors, conveyor transfer points, silos, storage hoppers etc.
11.1.5 Noise
Noise generation sources are the heavy machinery like crane, dumper, roller, bulldozers, boiler, generator,
compressors, DG sets, etc. & vehicular movement for transportation of raw materials.
11.1.6 Waste Water Generation & Disposal
Waste water generated from proposed captive co-generation unit will be treated as follows:
Boiler Blowdown, RO1 & DM reject and auxiliary cooling tower blowdown having low TDS, will be used in coal
dust suppression.
No change in existing waste water treatment scheme is envisaged. As mentioned in the earlier environment
clearance, waste water generated from the existing plants will be treated as follows:
Stream 1: The wastewater generated from DM Plant stream along with wastewater generated from the
Caustic Plant, Trichloroisocyanuric acid Plant, Hydrogen Peroxide Plant, Chloro Sulphonic Acid plant. After
giving appropriate primary treatment to reduce suspended solids and turbidity, while also controlling the pH, it
will be merged with outlet of Stream 2 for deep sea disposal.
Stream 2: Boilers Blowdown, process plant condensate, primary RO & DM reject and auxiliary cooling tower
blowdown having low TDS, will be merged and passed through RO (~3,000 KLD). Permeate from RO will be
reused in the plant while concentrated reject will be mixed with Stream 1, free from organics and heavy
metals, and disposed to sea
Stream 3: Organic streams from MCB, ONCB/PNCB, 2,4, DNCB and washings will be separately treated in ETP
having capacity ~ 325 KLD. Treated water will be fully recycled & reused in the process/utilities.
There will be no additional final waste water discharge.
Around 6,052 KLD (additional 125 KLD) waste water will be generated after proposed project. Treated water from
STP will be reused in gardening, hence it will further reduce fresh water consumption. ~41% of waste water
generated, i.e. 2,493 KLD (additional 125 KLD) treated water will be recycled and reused. Remaining treated waste

water will be collected in collection pond and after meeting the final GPCBs discharge norms, finally ~ 3,559 KLD
treated water will be discharged in GIDC pumping station for deep sea disposal.
11.1.7 Hazardous & Other Solid Waste
The following solid / hazardous wastes will be generated during operations:
Hazardous Waste: Used/Spent Oil, Discarded drums & containers;
Non Hazardous Waste: Fly Ash;
Domestic Solid Waste: Paper and Food waste;
Small amounts of e-waste and scrap.
These will be managed as per the applicable Rules, mainly, Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling, Storage and
Transboundary) Rules 2016, and Fly Ash Notification, 2016 as amended till date.
11.2 DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT
11.2.1 Study Period, Area & Monitoring/Sampling Locations
Baseline environmental study was carried out for 14 weeks, from 1st March, 2018 to 18th June, 2018 (Summer
Season) within 10 Km radius of the project site.
Air monitoring was carried out at 8 locations. Noise measurement was carried out at 8 locations. Surface water
samples from 7 locations (6 samples from ponds & 1 sample from river), ground water samples from 8 locations (all
Borewells) and soil samples from 8 locations were collected and analysed.
11.2.2 Land Use and Land Cover
Land use of study area is classified as Agricultural land (~ 79.6%), Vegetation cover (~ 16.8%), Buildup Land &
Habitation (~ 1.5%), Water bodies (~ 1.0%) & Waste land (~ 0.9%).
11.2.3 Meteorology
As per the long-term climatological tables (1961-1976) published by Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) for
Broach (Station ID: 42841), during summer season, temperature ranges from 18.6 – 39.9ºC, in morning & evening
relative humidity ranges 65 – 74 % and 29 – 39 % respectively, average wind speed was recorded as 2.8 m/sec.
and the predominant wind direction was recorded to be blowing from SW to NE direction (44.5%).
Site specific meteorological data was collected at existing unit, at ~ 1.0 Km in S direction from project site.
Minimum and maximum temperature were recorded as 22.1°C & 46.2°C respectively. Mean hourly relative humidity
was 26.7%. Average wind speed & predominant wind direction were 2.2 m/sec & from SW to NE (27.0 %)
respectively. Calm wind contributed to about 8.83%.
11.2.4 Ambient Air Quality
The broad findings of the ambient air quality monitoring are:
Average concentration of PM10 recorded in the range from minimum 47 µg/m3 (At Vagra Village) to maximum
77 µg/m3 (At Juned);
Average concentration of PM2.5 recorded in the range from minimum 15 µg/m3 (At Project site & Vagra Village)
to maximum 23 µg/m3 (At Juned Village);
It is noted that the maximum PM10 results exceed the permissible limit of 100 µg/m3 for 24 Hrs. at Juned,
Vastikhandali & Bhersam village which could be due to:
Burning of domestic fuel for household purposes;
Influence of windy atmosphere;
Vehicular movement on the “kaccha” road connecting to main highway.

M/S. BODAL EIA FOR PROPOSED CAPTIVE CO-GENERATION PLANT AT SAYKHA GIDC,
CHEMICALS LIMITED PCPIR, TA. VAGRA, DIST: BHARUCH (GUJARAT) SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION
The concentration of SO2 (5.0 – 14.7 µg/m3), NOx (10.0 – 24.0 µg/m3), CO (<0.57 – 2.42 mg/m3) & HC (796 –
1,272 µg/m3) are within permissible limits as prescribed by CPCB & Factories act;
The concentration of HCl is below detectable limit.
11.2.5 Noise Levels
Noise level varied from 52 dB (at Vargama Village) to 75 dB (At Vorasamni) during day time and 42 dB (at Project
boundary South side) to 63.8 dB (at Vorasamni) during night time.
Noise level at residential area during day & night time was slightly higher than the CPCB standards which could be
due to vehicular movements on nearby roads and construction activities in surrounding area.
11.2.6 Water Quality
Surface water (Pond & River)
DO value observed low at Juned & Vorasamni ponds due to algae formation and may be due to mixing of some
sewage part.
The parameter BOD is observed high at Juned & Vorasamni ponds.
TDS, hardness and chlorides are high at Vorasamni & Vagra ponds due to salinity ingress in the nearby area.
Based on above results, the quality of Juned, Vorasamni & Vagra ponds are compared with Class E as per
classification of Inland Surface water standard and water can be used for Irrigation and industrial cooling.
The quality of Vilayat, Bhersam, Saykha pond & Bhukhi River near Vilayat are compared with class C and it can
be used for drinking purpose with conventional treatment followed by disinfection.
Ground water (Borewells, Openwells & Handpumps)
It is observed that ground water quality, as per IS 10500:2012 standard limits for drinking water, deviates for
following parameters (all unit in mg/lit) at different villages:
TDS at Juned (4,716), Ankot (2,856), Vagra (2,756) & Saykha (2,248);
Chlorides at Juned (2,216), Ankot (1,259) & Vagra (1,018);
Total Hardness at Ankot (680), Vorasamni (640) & Vagra (710);
Magnesium at Juned (151), Ankot (118), Vorasamni (114) & Vagra (124).
The observed higher concentration of TDS, Chloride & Sulphate is due to saline geological formations. Higher
concentration of Total Hardness, Nitrate, Fluoride, Calcium and Magnesium is due to near proximity of Arabian Sea.
11.2.7 Soil Quality
It is observed that at different locations:
The porosity in the range from 48 to 63 % and WHC varied from 59.9 to 73.5 %;
The soil permeability in the range from 1.33 to 25.2 mm/hr;
Soil texture were either Silty Clay, Clay, Loam or Sandy Loam;
The EC of soil ranged from 215 to 545 μmhos/cm which indicates soil is saline in nature;
The pH of soil ranged from 6.38 to 8.45, which indicates that soils are neutral to slightly alkaline;
Among water soluble cations predominance of sodium was seen followed by K, Mg & Ca.
The overall soil quality indicates that soils are normal, which is not under cultivation since long and whatever salts
are there, are washed off or leached down due to rain water over the years.

Proper PPE like dust masks will be provided to workers and its use will be ensured;
Regular Work place monitoring will be done.
11.3.2 Traffic
To ensure smooth traffic movement in the plant, proper in and out movement will be ensured. PUC certified
vehicles, covered with tarpaulins, will be used for handling of coal.
11.3.3 Water Environment
No withdrawal of groundwater is proposed in the project. Hence, ground water will not be impacted. Following
mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the impact on the water environment:
During construction phase, sewage will be disposed into soak pit and septic tank. Regular cleaning will be
carried out.
Treated water will be recycled and reused in process make up and utilities.
Properly designed effluent drains will be provided & inflow will be diverted to ETP & RO for necessary
treatment. Separate ETP will be provided for organic streams and plant wash water.
Drip irrigation system will be implemented for greenbelt development to reduce fresh water demand.
Process, chemical fuel storage and handling area will have proper bunds and dyke walls as applicable so that
contaminated run-off cannot meet the storm-water line. In case of leakage, leaked fuel/chemical shall be
immediately transferred to the spare tank;
Rainwater harvesting from rooftop shall be done.
The overall impact on surface water quality will be negligible by following all precautionary measures as mentioned
in mitigation measures
During the heavy rainfall, water through internal storm water drains will meet nearest storm water drain
constructed by GIDC leading to Estuary.
11.3.4 Land Environment
Land is allotted to BODAL by GIDC. Change in the land use, from barren (scrub land) to industrial use is envisaged.
Following mitigation measures will be implemented to minimize the impact on the land environment:
Generated hazardous wastes during project operation will be transported to an authorized Treatment, Storage
and Disposal Facility (TSDF) site;
Storage areas for hazardous waste, fuel & raw material will be impervious and will be designed to prevent
Leachate penetration.
Consequently impacts on land and soil will be negligible.
11.3.5 Biological Environment
Removal of common site specific floral species from barren land of project site will not have significant or
permanent impact on the habitat structure of associated faunal diversity.
