CHAPTER 2
The most important aspect under the water supply scheme is the selection of source
of water, which should be reliable and potable. The source of water supply to the
project is through Hubli City Municipal Water Supply and Bore well Sources.
The proposed water supply scheme to cater to the public and domestic water
requirement of the proposed project consists of sourcing pretreated potable water
from Public supply into a common collection facility known as the Raw Water Sump.
The Raw Water Sump will be constructed in RCC. The water from the UG sump will be
pumped to overhead tank. The OHTs are staged on terrace depending on the contour
of its distribution network.
Measures that can be adopted to reduce water demand through use of water efficient
practices and devices (efficient plumbing fixtures). These would result in significant
saving of water and contribute towards protection of the environment. Some of the
common practices and devices that can save water are given below:
5
Project Report Medical College and Hospital Project
c) Water closet with low volume flushing cistern/ Flush valve shall be used.
d) Water regulators in wash basins to regulate the pressure.
e) Urinals shall have electronic eye no touch flush valve.
f) Water conserving means like pop-up sprinklers, drip irrigation etc., shall be
employed to irrigate the landscape areas.
g) Stored Rain water shall be used for domestic purposes after necessary water
treatment.
The domestic wastewater generated from the project will be treated in STP with
pretreatment facility provided for lab and OT effluent. The pretreated lab effluent is
mixed with domestic sewage and treated to stipulated standards. The treated sewage
is used for toilet flushing and landscape development.
Wastes of different type such as spent water from bath rooms, water closets/pans,
street washings, semi liquid waste of human excreta, street sweepings, broken
furniture, crockery etc., are produced daily. If proper arrangement for collection
treatment and disposal of all the wastes produced are not made, unsanitary
conditions will develop and it will become impossible for the public to live.
Therefore, it is most essential to collect, treat and dispose all the sanitary waste

DESCRIPTION:
The laboratory is proposed to be located in the main hospital building and various
chemical effluents will be discharged from Histopathology, Hematology and Bio-
Chemistry lab sections. These chemical effluents will be collected separately in a
collection tank. pH of the effluent will be monitored and required chemical i.e.,
Sodium hypochlorite will be continuously added. There will be agitator mounted on
the tank for proper mixing of these effluents. When pH of the effluent reaches to
neutral range (say pH 7.0), the addition of the chemicals will be stopped
automatically. Then the neutralized effluent will be discharged to the sewer line (for
conveyance to the Treatment plant) by opening the outlet valve of the pit and slow
discharge will be maintained.
The pretreated lab effluents along with sewage from hospital will be treated in
Sewage Treatment Plant to the standards stipulated by the Karnataka State Pollution
Control Board.

3.0 INTRODUCTION
The anticipated power required for the project is 2,000 kVA is supplied from HESCOM.
The primary sources of air pollution from the establishment will be from the
operation of boiler and diesel generator sets, which will be used as an alternative
source of power supply during the emergencies of power failure from HESCOM. The
details of capacities & fuel consumption for the DG sets are given below.
Boiler details:
Major noise producing sources of the proposed project is expected to be from DG set,
Boiler, Vehicular movements from and to the proposed project. The DG sets will be
provided with acoustic enclosures to control the noise levels in such a way that the
noise levels are within the permissible limits specified for ambient noise levels. More

The domestic wastes will be segregated at source collected, stored and composted
through vermi composting method and the product will be used as manure.
The first category of wastes is mainly packing materials, kitchen wastes, garbage and
other domestic types of wastes. These wastes can safely go into the municipal waste
system; care should, however, be taken to transport them quickly and carefully to the
municipal disposal sites.
22
Project Report Medical College and Hospital Project
The wastes that are generated in the hospital in solid form are categorized as solid
wastes. These wastes are also known as Garbage or Refuse. There has been a
considerable increase in the quantities of the refuse generated these days. Therefore
the collection, disposal and management of these wastes have assumed greater
significance and have drawn the attention of planners and authorities to device solid
waste management programs. Solid waste generated from the proposed facilities is
calculated as below.
The solid Wastes generated will be segregated at its point of generation and collected
separately in different color coded synthetic bins depending upon the basis of its Bio
Degradability at a common designated point. Organic solid waste from the project will
be treated in organic waste converter. The inorganic solid waste will be sent for
recycling.

Project Report Medical College and Hospital Project
BMW is the waste produced from medical activities generated during diagnosis,
treatment immunization of human beings or animals, research activities, production
or testing of biologicals, health camps etc., which are potentially infectious.
Biomedical waste may also include waste associated with the generation of waste that
visually appears to be of medical or laboratory origin (e. g., packaging, unused
bandages, infusion kits etc.,) as well research laboratory waste containing
biomolecules or organisms that are restricted from environmental release.
Hospital is one of the complex institutions which is frequented by people from every
walk of life in the society without any distinction between age, sex, race and religion.
This is over and above the normal inhabitants of hospital i.e., patients and staff. All
of them contribute for generation of waste which might have its impact. The hospital
waste, in addition to the risk for patients and personnel who handle these wastes
poses a threat to public health and environment. Keeping in view inappropriate
biomedical waste management practices that are sometimes followed, the Ministry of
Environment and Forest Notified the “Biomedical Waste Management Rules, 2016.”
dated 28th March 2016.
Therefore, the Biomedical waste generated from the proposed project will be
collected and segregated at source based on their categorization as per the
Biomedical Waste Management Rules, 2016 of Schedule II in Color coded bags and
containers and disposed through Rio Green Environ INDIA ASTS located at Tarihal
Industrial Area.
The Biomedical Waste anticipated from the proposed hospital is calculated as follows.
The type of biomedical waste generated from the project is detailed in the later
section.

Bio Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016 categorizes the bio-medical waste
generated from a health care facility into four categories based on the segregation
pathway and colour code. Various types of bio medical waste are further assigned to
each one of the categories, as detailed below:
1. Yellow Category
2. Red Category
3. White Category
4. Blue Category

General wastes like garbage, garden refuse etc., should join the stream of
organic refuse.
Sharps should be collected in puncture proof containers.
Bags and containers for infectious waste should be marked with Biohazard
symbol. Highly infectious waste should be sterilized by autoclaving.
Cytotoxic wastes are to be collected in leak proof containers clearly labeled as
cytotoxic waste.
Needles and syringes should be destroyed with the help of needle destroyer and
syringe cutters provided at the point of generation.
Infusion sets, bottles and gloves should be cut with curved scissors.
Below table shows the typical type of bio-medical waste expected to be generated
from the hospital during the operational stage.

Project Report Medical College and Hospital Project
Bio-medical waste poses great threat of infections to patients, staff and to the public
in-case it is exposed to public at large. The impacts are long term and are severe in
magnitude. Following are the potential adverse impacts that may arise due to
improper handling of biomedical waste on the human environment:
Physical injuries may occur to the hospital personnel as well as waste handlers
outside the hospital due to improper handling of various biomedical wastes.
Out of the different categories of wastes, sharps are most likely to cause
physical injury especially when they are mixed with other biomedical waste
that increases the risk of Hepatitis and HIV infections.
Chemical injuries can occur due to hazardous - toxic, corrosive, flammable,
and reactive and genotoxic wastes which are likely to cause chemical burns on
accidental exposure, or toxicity to cells (cytotoxic materials).
Nosocomial infections to the patients from poor infection control policies and
poor waste management practices.
Increasing uses of disposables in hospitals generate large quantum of infectious
waste that can be reused, if not managed effectively.
Mushrooming business of disposables being repacked and sold without even
being washed can be life threatening.
Proliferation and wide spectrum of healthcare units, large and small hospitals,
nursing homes, clinics etc., which do not have proper waste management
facilities, can poses potential threat to human environment.
Also when such waste is disposed in open it is likely to contaminate land and
water environment either through percolation or surface runoff.
With a judicious planning and management, the risk can be reduced considerable. It is
estimated that on an average 0.15 kg of waste per bed per day at occupancy rate of

4.9 e - WASTE:
The Electronic Waste (e-waste) such as CD’s, Pen drives, computer and its
components, used batteries, etc., from the project will be segregated, collected and
stored at a designated place and will be handed over to authorized recyclers.
The water collected from the terraces of the buildings shall be collected in the
rainwater collection sump and reused for domestic purpose after necessary
treatment.
The total quantity of water i.e., received in the form of rainfall over an area is called
the rain water endowment of that area, out of which the amount of water that can be
effectively harvested is called the rain water harvesting potential.
Rain Water harvesting potential = Intensity of Rainfall (m) x Roof Area x
Impermeability Factor.
The collection efficiency accounts for the fact that all the rain water falling over an
area cannot be effectively harvested due to losses on account of evaporation, spillage
or run off etc.,
According to the data available from Indian Meteorological Department, the
Average annual rainfall of Hubli city is about = 722 mm.
Assuming that about 30 rainy days in a year, the quantity of roof top rain water
harvested is calculated as under:
The rain water collection tank of adequate capacity is proposed to be provided. The
collected rain water and is will be reused for domestic purposes.
31
Project Report Medical College and Hospital Project
The quantity of storm water that the paved area will produce can be determined by
considering the impermeability factor to be 0.9.
Q = 0.722 x 10,042.31 sq m x 0.9
= 6525.49 /30 = 218 cum/day ----- A
The quantity of storm water that the landscaped area will produce can be determined
by considering the impermeability factor to be 0.3.
Q = 0.722 x 29,755.53 sq m x 0.3
= 6445.04 /30 = 215 cum/day ----- B
The Total quantity of storm water (A+B) = Paved area + Landscaped area
= 218+ 215 cum/day = 108 cum/day
The project authorities will provide recharging pits in the hospital and college for
ground water recharging. These recharging pits are filled with graded media
comprising of boulder at bottom and with coarse aggregates to facilitate percolation
of harvested rain water to recharge ground water table. The Recharge Pits are
interconnected in such a way that the rain led to the first recharge pit is also led to
the next pit. The excess rain water shall be drained off to the storm water drain.

CHAPTER 5
5.0 INTRODUCTION
The construction phase impacts are mostly short term, restricted to the plot area and
not envisaged on the larger scale. In the operational phase the environmental impacts
are due to continuous operation of the project, hence, the emphasis in the
Environment Management Plan (EMP) is to minimize such impacts. The following
mitigation measures are recommended in order to synchronize the economic
development of the project area with the environmental protection of the region.
During Construction phase the activities which need to be monitored and managed
from the point of pollution are detailed in the subsequent sections.
33
Project Report Medical College and Hospital Project
Hospital and college building proposed in the project have 1 basement floor and the
earth excavation is necessary. There is an average level difference of about 1 m
where basements are proposed. Therefore the total quantity of earth excavated is
45,000 sq m out of which 15,000 sq m will be used for backfilling. Soil will be reused
for backfilling, paved area and formation activities within the site.
For landscape development (considering 0.75 m filling) = 29,755 x 0.75 = 23,000 cum
Remaining 7,000 cum of soil will be used for paved area formation activities within
the project site.

through Rio Green Environ INDIA ASTS located at Tarihal Industrial Area as per Bio
Medical Waste Management Rules, 2016.
The landscape of project site has been planned to provide a clean, healthy and
beautiful green environment for the people. Presently project site has 88 trees of
difference species. 24 trees are proposed to be cut. Landscape development has been
designed to achieve a blend between modern building and various species of plants,
shrubs, to create a clean, healthy and aesthetic environment that provides a visual
retreat and relaxation. Along with this about 346 tress of different species are
proposed to be planted at site.
In the project site there are two nalas one running from North to South and other
from east to west. As per the norms of the planning authority, buffer zone of 15 m
towards the site is left for the nala running from north to south which is located on
edge of the site. Similarly buffer zone of 12 m is left on either side of the nala
running from east to west. Buffer zone will be earmarked for landscape development.
Cross over bridges to access the buildings are proposed at appropriate locations.
Since all the construction related activities are confined to the project site, minimal
health related impacts are envisaged within the project influenced area during the
construction stage.
At the project site on an average of 200 no. of persons will be engaged, who face
direct exposure to dust and noise generated from the construction activity. This is
likely to cause health related affects such as asthma, bronchitis etc. and hearing
impairments respectively.
