DESCRIPTION
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This chapter provides a condensed description of those aspects of the project likely to cause
environmental effects. Details are described in following sections with regards to type, need, location,
size or magnitude of project operations, technology and other related activities.
2.1
TYPE OF PROJECT
HSL proposes a Greenfield project for manufacturing of various technical grade pesticides which will
include herbicides, insecticides, fungicides and plant growth regulators.
2.1.1
Condensed Description of Aspects
Based on the type of project, following are the expected aspects:
Air Emissions having pollutants like PM, SO2, NOx, HCl, Cl2, HBr, NH3 & HC.
Waste water generation having cyanide compounds.
Noise generation.
Hazardous waste generation.
Occupational health, hazards & safety risk.
2.2
NEED FOR THE PROJECT
Need for the proposed products are based on the demand and supply gap in the current market. With
increasing utilization of the current products, in future, to carter the requirement of all the products, it
is essential to have the proposed manufacturing unit.
The Indian pesticides industry is characterized by low capacity utilization. The present total installed
capacity is 146,000 tonnes and has a low capacity utilization of <60%. There is a marked difference in
the consumption pattern of pesticides in India vis--vis the rest of the world. Insecticides account for
76% of the total domestic market. On the other hand, herbicides and fungicides have a significantly
higher share in the global market. Crops like cotton, wheat and rice together account for 70% of total
agrochemical consumption. The consumption of pesticides in India is low in comparison to other
countries. The industry suffers from high inventory (owing to seasonal & irregular demand on account
of monsoons) and long credit periods to farmers, thus making operations 'working capital' intensive.
India due to its inherent strength of low-cost manufacturing and qualified low-cost manpower is a net
exporter of pesticides to countries such as USA and some European & African countries. Exports
formed ~37% of total industry turnover in FY13.
2.2.1
Based on the demand and supply gap, the need of the project is justified. Thus, expected aspects due
the production of these pesticides will lead to:
Raised market price of product due to less supply.

Batch failure due to uncertain operational variations, to meet the production demand of product in
the market.

2.6.1
Salient Features of Technology
2. PROJECT
DESCRIPTION
Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) shall be employed in the proposed plant to ensure
product quality, a safe working environment, and prevention of environmental impacts.
The proposed pesticide plant shall involve synthesis of molecules produced or modified to provide
compounds (active ingredients), namely herbicides, insecticides and fungicides. This active ingredients
is further formulated to form solid or liquid pesticides. It is then safely handled and packed in packing
systems comprising of automatic packing lines.
The pesticide is then sent to the farmer or other certified applicator, who dilutes it before applying it.
Pesticides manufacturing includes following steps:
Preparation of process intermediates;

Introduction of functional groups;
Coupling and esterification;
Separation processes (e.g. filtration, washing and stripping);
Purification of the final product (e.g. dissolution and extraction, or filtration);
Evaporation and Distillation;
Drying, concentration and crystallization in purification operations.
Technical grade will be first manufactured in small scale in the laboratory followed by a pilot plant.
After successful trials and proven viability, production will begin in the factory. Herbicides will be
manufactured in a dedicated set of equipment of the plant while manufacture of Insecticides,
Fungicides and plant growth regulator will be undertaken in the rest of the equipment.
Odorous materials are Trimethyl amine, Isopropyl amine, DMPTC, Carbon disulphide, Acephate &
Profenofos. Solvents used in the process shall be recovered (upto ~ 99%) by distillation as discussed
in Section 2.13.2. Procurement of raw materials will be as per the production plan.
Trained chemists shall be employed who shall work in a sophisticated laboratory and factory. Cooling
and / or heating, and the application of vacuum or pressure conditions, are necessary.
All steps, and particularly the reactions, shall generate air emissions, effluents, and waste /
byproducts. The number of pesticide raw materials is extensive, including materials common to most
pesticide manufacturing processes (details given in Table 2-56).
Final product will be safely handled and packed using packing systems comprising of automatic
packing lines by transferring the final product into containers or boxes, either manually by gravity
feeding or automatically.

(Peak Load)
Considering production of Product Mix 3 group, 5 products, i.e. Glyphosate (Herbicide), Imidacloprid
(Insecticide), Tricyclazole (Fungicide), Hexaconazole (Fungicide) & Chlormequatchloride (Plant Growth
Regulator) at a time, maximum process water consumption (56 KLD) and process waste water
generation (68 KLD) was considered.
Considering this maximum peak load, during the operation phase of 12 TPD capacity multipurpose
plant, it is estimated, fresh water requirement would be 98 KLD after recycle and reuse concept &
achieving ZLD. Details of the same is provided in Section 2.18, Page 92.
However, water requirement will be ~ 200 KLD if treated waste water is drained to CETP, Dahej.
Inprinciple permission has been received from GIDC as shown in Annexure 4.
2.11.4
Manpower
During construction phase, around 60 100 laborers will be hired. During operation phase, around
125 135 employees will be hired based on their skills. They may be hired locally. First preference
shall be given to skilled, semi-skilled work force of local community.

Point Source Emissions & Control
Point source emission of pollutants into air from the proposed project will be through flue gas stacks
attached to boiler, thermic fluid heater & DG Sets and through process vents attached to various
scrubbers.
The principal air pollutants are volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and particulate matter (PM). These
emissions to air are generated during pesticide manufacturing, formulating and packaging processes.
It will be controlled by various scrubbers. Adequate stack height and proper pollution control
equipment will be provided for all flue gas stacks & process vents/stacks.

Design details of Absorber system (to control HCl, SO2 / HBr)

During the manufacture of some of the products gaseous Hydrogen chloride, sulphur dioxide and
Hydrogen bromide are evolved as by-products. These gases are absorbed in water/ caustic soda
solution.
Hydrogen chloride gas is absorbed in water producing 31% Hydrochloric acid solution.
Sulphur dioxide gas is absorbed in Caustic soda solution producing sodium bisulphite solution. A
mixture of HCl gas and Sulphur dioxide gas, as obtained from the reaction involving Thionyl chloride,
is absorbed in a dual system using water in the first absorber to absorb HCl followed by caustic soda
solution in the second absorber to absorb SO2.
Hydrogen bromide gas is absorbed either in Water or in Caustic soda solution producing Hydrobromic
acid solution or Sodium bromide solution as per the salability of the by-product.
The absorber system is designed for absorbing a mixture of HCl and SO 2. The system is suitable for
absorbing HBr gas also. The system comprises of two FFA, one Ventury absorber and a packed
column as a tail gas absorber.
The first FFA is for concentrating HCl to 31% before it goes to the storage tank. In this dilute HCl
solution is circulated as the absorbent. Both HCl gas and absorbent liquid enters at the top (cocurrently) and flows down as a film through the tubular passage formed by the multi-block graphite
absorber. The heat generated is removed by the cooling water circulating through the utility passage.
The acid solution runs down into the circulating liquid holding tank and the unabsorbed gases go to a
ventury scrubber which absorbs part of the HCl and also creates a suction effect for the gas flow.
The exit gases from the ventury scrubber enters the second FFA where almost all the HCl is absorbed
in water. The exhaust gases comprising predominantly SO2 enters the packed tower made of PP and
packed with PP intallox saddles. The gas and the absorbent liquid (caustic soda solution) flows
counter-currently in the tower. The top outlet of the scrubber will be practically free of HCl and SO2.
Process flow diagram for this absorption system is shown in Figure 2-50.

Design details of Vent Scrubber System
All the vents of Reactors, Dosing / Holding vessels, Suction Hoods placed near Filters and Reactor
Charging points, are connected to a header from where it runs into the suction of a blower. The
discharge line of the blower is connected at the bottom of an Acid Scrubber fitted with a number of
perforated trays. 10% Sulphuric Acid solution is pumped in at the top of the tower. The Acid solution
trickles down the perforated trays counter current to the flow of vent gas stream. Alkaline components
of the gas stream (such as Ammonia, Amine vapors etc.) are thus removed by the circulating Acid
solution.
The residual gas stream leaves the top of the tower and enters the bottom of another similar column.
10% caustic soda solution is circulated in a similar manner as in the case of the first tower. Acidic
components of the gas stream (such as HCl, Cl2, SO2 and Acidic vapors of chemicals) are scrubbed by
the Alkali and the residual gas stream leaving the top of the tower is practically free of Acidic &
Alkaline components.
This stream exiting the second tower is then sent into a tower loosely packed with Activated Carbon
pellets to absorb any solvent vapors (VOC) present in it. The Air leaving the Carbon tower will be
practically free of Acidic, Alkaline and solvent vapors.
Technical specifications of scrubbers are given in Table 2-61.

Stream B:
The high TDS and high COD stream from the process plant (~61 KLD with 5.8% TDS) containing
inorganic salts like sodium chloride, sodium sulphate etc., (excluding untreated Cyanide effluent) is
segregated and sent to an Oil & Grease separator and then to an Equalization Tank.
The oil & grease, if any, is collected and disposed off for incineration.
The effluent from the equalization tank is then pumped into a lime treatment tank. The tank contents
are mixed by aeration through an under-water air grid. Lime slurry is added to get a pH of 10 11.
The mixture is then treated with alum solution, flocculating agent and send to a primary settler.
The settled sludge is dewatered on a sludge drying bed from where it is sent to an approved land fill
and leachate will be transferred to equalization tank.
The supernatant liquid (with a residual TDS of 4%) is then pumped continuously through a filter into a
live steam stripper column operated under vacuum.
The over-head vapors of the stripper is condensed, settled and separated into layers. The aqueous
layer is recycled back into stripper.
The organic layer is drummed out and sent out for incineration.
The aqueous layer from the bottom of the stripper is collected in a tank and mixed with the reject
stream from the Reverse Osmosis plant. The mixed stream (~84 KL) is sent to a Triple-EffectEvaporator.
The concentrate from the 3rd Effect of the MEE goes to a TFD. The salt discharged from the bottom of
the TFD (~3.5 MT) is sent to TSDF for disposal.
The combined distillate stream from 3rd Effect and TFD of MEE is condensed and collected in a tank.
This stream will have COD of about 5,000 7,000 ppm, but no TDS form as one part of stream C.

Stream C is continuously run into the Bio-degradation unit (Activated sludge process) under good
mixing by aeration.
The treated stream then goes into a secondary settler from where the settled sludge is partially
recycled back into the bio degradation tank to maintain its MLSS content and the rest is sent to the
sludge drying Bed.

Identification of Waste
The hazardous waste generated from the project will be of two types: process waste and non-process
waste.
Process Waste
Out of total 48 products, only 10 products will generate incinerable waste.
Maximum production capacity per annum on product selection/requirement basis is 3,500 MT out of a
maximum limit of 24,100 MT of all products putting together. Working days are assumed to be 300.
Hence, hazardous waste generation MTD can be calculated as below:
y = (x*3500) / (24,100*300)

Long Term Meteorology2
The climate of the study area is based on information from the most recent published long-term
climatological tables (1961 1976) by Indian Meteorological Department (IMD), for Broach (Station
ID: 42841).
The observatory was situated in the compound of the District Local Board Office. The place was in a
low lying area with tall trees all around. The Narmada flows nearby. Wind instruments were on the
topmost terrace of the office building. At present observatory situated at K.G. Polytechnic, Bharuch.
A copy of the long-term climatological data is enclosed as Annexure 6. These tables give useful
information about a regions weather, since they are collected over a 15-year period.
Temperature
The highest temperature (mean) & daily maximum temperature (mean) recorded are 47.8C (in the
month of May) & 39.9C (in the month of April) respectively. The highest temperature recorded was
47.8C on 20th May, 1955.
January is generally the coldest month, with daily minimum (mean) temperature of 11.3C. The lowest
temperature recorded was 4.0C on 22nd January, 1962.
During summer season, i.e. March May, day temperatures remain between 18.6 39.9C.
Humidity
Most humid conditions are found in the monsoons, followed by summer, post-monsoons, and winter in
that order. Mornings are more humid than evenings and relative humidity ranges from a high of 8190% in monsoon mornings to a low of 34-44% in winter 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 regular. Annual total rainfall
in the region is 912.1 mm.

in post-monsoons (October November), 2.8 mm in winter (December, January, February) and 9.9
mm in summer (March, April, May). About 94.4 percent of the annual rainfall in the region is received
during the monsoon months i.e. June to September. July is the rainiest month.
Maximum rainfall in any one month was recorded in the month of September in year 1954 which was
about 790.1 mm. July is having maximum number of rainy days i.e. 13.5.
Cloud Cover
The area remains cloudy between Junes - September, which is the active period of the monsoon
season. Generally cloud cover ranges from 1.5 to 6.7 OKTAS during this monsoon season.
In the summer season, cloud cover ranges from 0.2 to 1.9 OKTAS.

Site-specific meteorological data shows that:
Average wind speed was 4.2 m/sec and mostly the morning hours are windier. Maximum wind
speed recorded was 12.2 m/sec on 24th May, 2015 at 1800 Hrs.
Wind blows predominantly from SW to NE direction (17.5 %). Calm wind contributes to about
1.90 % of all winds. Windrose diagram is shown as Figure 3-1.
Average temperature recorded was 33.7C with maximum temperature recorded as 44.2C at
1500 Hrs. (16th May, 2015) and minimum of 20.0C at 0600 Hrs. (1st March, 2015).
Average relative humidity was 37.9 % with maximum humidity recorded as 81.0 % at 0600 Hrs.
(27th March, 2015) and minimum of 8.9 % at 1600 Hrs. (20th March, 2015).
Collation of Site Specific Data with Secondary Data of IMD

Site specific meteorological data cannot be collated with IMDs secondary data as the project site is
nearer to Narmada Estuary and nearest IMD station is for Bharuch (~ 50 Km far from site). The
differences in these data is expected due to tidal impacts.

Land Use
Methodology Adopted for Land Use / Land Cover Study

Land Use and Land Cover is classified in Annexure 7. The project area was placed, based on coordinates 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. A field visit was done on 15th March, 2014, 13th June 2014,
& 31st January, 2015 & 4th March 2015.
Table 3-6 & Photograph 3-2 enumerates the land features in the study area and its corresponding
GPS readings of all the ground truthing locations verified.

AAQM Results
Detailed result of AAQM are given in Annexure 9. Complied average data are represented in Table
3-12.
The comparison of the results with the value range indicators provided by CPCB (Annexure 8) and
Factories Act indicates:
Average concentration of PM10 recorded ranged from minimum 38 g/m3 (At Atali Village) to
maximum 116 g/m3 (At Rahiyad Chokadi);
Average concentration of PM2.5 recorded raged from minimum 18 g/m3 (At Atali) to maximum 62
g/m3 (At Atali Village);
It is noted that the PM10 & PM2.5 results exceeds the permissible limits of 100 g/m3 & 60 g/m3
respectively for 24 Hrs. at Vadadla, Jolwa & Rahiyad Chokadi which could be due to:
Industrial & infrastructure development activities in study area (PCPIR & residential projects);
Villages near coastal regional, influence of windy atmosphere;
Vehicular movement on the kaccha roads of the villages;
Rural activities like burning of cow dung for household purposes like using it in chullas.
The concentration of SO2 (8.0 17.5 g/m3), NOx (10.0 35.7 g/m3), Cl2 ( < 1.0 12.8 g/m3),
HCl (< 20.0 5.6 g/m3), HC Methane (1,063 2,310 g/m3), NMHC Non-Methane (< 10 - 195
g/m3), CO (< 1,145 2,168 g/m3) are within permissible limits as prescribed by CPCB &

Following methodology is followed to conduct baseline monitoring, impact assessment and to propose
suitable mitigation measures:
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 3-14.

3. DESCRIPTION OF
THE ENVIRONMENT
Noise level during day time & night time, in Industrial area, were within the CPCB standards i.e.
Industrial area (75 dBA (d) & 70 dBA (n)).
Noise level during day & night time, in Residential area, were slightly higher than the CPCB
standards which is due to vehicular movements in nearby highways.
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.
In the study area there are no major sources of vibrations.
3.5.6
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.
Source of Water
Drinking water is supplied by tankers or pipe lines in most of the villages at vicinity of GIDC and SEZ
area. Owing to geological conditions, groundwater is salty and only used for general purpose.
Methodology Adopted for Surface and Ground Water Sampling
Surface water was collected from Eight (8) locations, including Two (2) river water (estuary) samples
and Ground water from Six (6) locations. The samples were collected as grab samples, from each
location, once during the study period and the analysis methodology is given in Table 3-17.

Quality of Ground water (Borewells)

It is observed that ground water quality as per IS 10500:2012 standard limits for drinking water,
deviates for following parameters at different villages:
TDS at Vadadla (956 mg/l), Vav (812 mg/l), Atali (1,168 mg/l) & Rahiyad villages (1,028 mg/l);
Chlorides at Vav (256 mg/l), Atali (333 mg/l) & Rahiyad villages (362 mg/l);
Total Hardness at Vav (220 mg/l), Gelanda (340 mg/l), Atali (350 mg/l) & Rahiyad villages (480
mg/l);
Nitrate at Atali (73.9 mg/l) & Rahiyad villages (58 mg/l);
Fluoride at Jolwa (1.72 mg/l) & Vav villages (1.33 mg/l);
Calcium at Vav village (128.2 mg/l);
Magnesium at Vadadla (37.4 mg/l), Vav (37.9 mg/l), Gelanda (65.1 mg/l), Atali (52 mg/l) &
Rahiyad Villages (90.4 mg/l).
The observed higher concentration of TDS & Chloride is due to saline geological formations. Higher
concentration of Total Hardness, Nitrate, Fluoride, Calcium and Magnesium is due to near proximity of
sea (Gulf of Khambhat).
The main source of water is Narmada canal as bore wells are not feasible in the GIDC.
3.5.7
Geology
This section describes environmental setting covering baseline conditions with respect to geology.
Methodology
The methodology adopted for the study of baseline environment started with desk study followed by
secondary data collection.
Secondary data like recent Google imageries, District Resource Map, information published by GSI
studies were used to collect basic information on Geology, Hydrogeology, aquifers, identification of
Topography and Structural features of site and surrounding area.
A field visit was conducted to study site specific geological and hydrogeological conditions includes
lithology, drainage patterns, water bodies, ground water condition and any possible impact to the
environmental setting due to project.
Topography and Geomorphology
Topographically, the entire area is more or less flat with gentle dipping toward west to southwest i.e.
toward Gulf. Geomorphologically, coastal area is covered by tidal and mud flats. Drainages have
acquired a pattern of deltaic condition.
Regional Geology

Geology and Hydrogeology at Site

Dahej GIDC is located on west of Bharuch at Gulf of Khambhat. Geologically, entire area is covered
with recent age deposits of fluvial and marine origin. Major part of the study area is covered with
gray to yellow colored silty loam.
As per discussion with local people and well owners, depth to water level, within study area is 8 10
m and total depth of wells ranging from 15 20 m. At some places, post monsoon water, shows slight
improvement in terms of quality. However with passage of time it turns saline.
Seismicity
Gujarat is categorized in the seismic zone III6, which is classified as having a fairly high probability of
earthquake shocks measuring 5 or 6 on the Richter scale, low probability of shocks of 6 or 7 on the
Richter scale.
Earthquake zoning map of Gujarat is shown as Figure 3-2.

Soil
The project area falls under South Gujarat Agro-climatic Zone II and Agro-ecological region-21. The
soils are predominantly of trap origin deep black soils (63%), however coastal black (14%) and loam
soils (23%) are also present. Taxonomically these soils are classified as Vertisols. The soils at the
GIDC site are also clayey having very high water holding capacity and porosity, but permeability is
very low. The soil depth is > 100 cm and soil slope is 1-3 %. As the area is in the proximity of sea,
waters and soils are likely to be saline/alkaline. The crops of the surrounding areas are paddy, cotton
and sugarcane and in winter sorghum and wal are grown. The cropping intensity of the area is 117%.
Soil Sampling Locations
Soil samples were collected from Six (6) different locations within the study area as shown in Table
3-24, Map 3-2 & Photograph 3-7. Analysis results of collected samples are given in Table 3-26.

Soil Quality Results

It is observed that at different locations:
The porosity ranged from 56 to 61% and WHC varied from 52.40 to 62.30 %;
The soil permeability was low to medium ranged from 2.24 to 10.7 mm/hr, however soil texture in
all the soil samples was silty clay- clay loam, hence whatever variation observed was mainly due
to variation in organic matter content of soils;
The EC of soil ranged from 140 to 808 mhos/cm, while ESP varied from <0.01 to 3.17. As EC has
exceeded 808 mhos/cm soil of Gelanda village is saline, while ESP was <5.0 in all soil samples;
The pH of soil ranged from 7.6 to 8.4, which indicates that soils are neutral to slightly alkaline;
Among water soluble cations predominance of sodium was seen followed by Ca, Mg and K.
The overall soil quality indicates that soils are normal as the area is located in GIDC and not under
cultivation since long and whatever salts were there are washed off or leached down due to rain water
over the years.

Agriculture and Horticulture

The Tuver (Cajanus indica), Wheat (Triticum aestivum) and Cotton (Gossypium herbaceum) are
cultivated as major crops in this area. Bajra (Pennisetum typhoides) and Jowar (Sorghum bicolar) are
cultivated in few pockets immediately after monsoon period.
Major Crops: Major crops in the study area are Tuver (Cajanus indica), Wheat (Triticum
aestivum) and Cotton (Gossypium herbaceum).
Minor crops: The minor crops of this region are Bajra (Pennisetum typhoides), Jowar (Sorghum
bicolar) and Divel (Ricinus communis)
Vegetables: The vegetables grown in the study area are, Rigan (Solanum melongena), Tomato
(Lycopersicon lycopersicum) and Val, Valpapadi (Lablab purpureus).
Major horticultural crops: Horticulture activity is very less. Keri (Mangifera indica), Chikoo
(Manilkara zapota), Papaya (Carica papaya) and Banana (Musa Paradisiaca).
Aquatic Ecosystem
Status of fishery, phytoplankton & zooplanktons of the study area buffer zone is discussed further.
Fishery: Marine and Narmada Estuary

Bharuch District contributes less than 1% to the total state marine production. Bombay duck
(Harpadon nehereus) constitutes the dominant fishery (13%) of the region of the total marine catch.
The coastal water also serves as the migratory route for the clupeid Hilsa (Tenualosa ilisha) on their
way to the Narmada River for breeding and the outward route for the newly hatched juveniles and
some of the adults. This makes Hilsa fishery an important activity inside the Gulf and the estuarine
region of Narmada.
Water near confluence is heavily silted and turbid. No commercial fishery takes place in river or along
the coast due to strong water currents. Pagadiya type fishing is operational in intertidal zones. Very
few fishing boats present coastal villages which operate only during rainy season when large fishes are
available.
Phytoplankton and Zooplankton

Socio-Economics
The main objectives of the socio economic need assessment study was:
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 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.
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
respondents are selected from the various falias to get a representative result. 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 Primary Census Abstract of 2001 has been used for information regarding the village amenities
since at the time of report writing 2011 data was not available for public domain.
The data was captured offsite into a database, analyzed, and then was used to describe and interpret
the socio-economic and cultural environment for the project influenced areas.
Primary Field Survey
The field visit was done by the social experts from 10th to 26th February, 2015 in order to find out the
needs in the communities and thereby develop a sustainable CSR/Social Development approach which
can be replicated into meaningful interventions in the surrounding areas of the proposed site.
Based on DPE Guidelines, survey was conducted in 25 villages of Vagra Taluka of Bharuch district
which includes desktop review and documentation pertaining to the project influence; which is done
through government publications, qualitative and quantitative fieldwork data collections etc. The 20%
household level sample survey was carried out in study area namely Vadadla & Dahej village.
Social Profile
Population Distribution
The project study area consists of a section of the population whose land has been acquired for SEZ
through GIDC. Due to decrease of agricultural activity in recent past people work as daily wage and

extinct level. The study area consists of Dahej and other nearby villages, which shows heavy increase
in the population from last decade. This is due to fast industrialization of the surrounding areas.
The main community prevailing in the core zone includes both majorly Muslims and Hindus (Koli Patel,
Brahmans, Valand, Solanki, Harijan, Rathore, Waghri, Jogi and Prajapati).
Table 3-37 reveals that male ratio have increased while female ratio has decreased in comparison to
2001, in the core zone. The same is with the buffer zone too. It is presumed that the villagers have
started to migrate to urban areas because of better availability of basic amenities in the Bharuch city.
The working class or business class use to settle at the village level.

3. DESCRIPTION OF
THE ENVIRONMENT
From the above table it can be inferred that the bulk of the population falls in the daily wage earner
category working in as agricultural labour or in the private companies as the contractual labour. 6.8%
of the population were having stationary, grocery, tea stalls etc. About 2.7% of the population were
earning from the livestock. Even though livestock was owned by many in the village but it was for selfuse and no monetary gain was there from it. Photograph showing animal husbandry and agricultural
field in study area is shown in Photograph 3-15.

Agricultural Field at the Study area
Means of Transportation
The study area is well connected with road & transportation facilities due to proper planning of PCPIR
authorities. Dahej and Bharuch are the nearest railway station present. Dahej railways station is
operational for goods transportation only.
Availability of Power Supply

The Government of Gujarat supplies power to all the households in the study area villages as well as
to the existing industries. There are few companies who has set up their own power plants as per
their own requirement.
Means of Communication
The villages have adequate communication facilities in form of post office, post and phone. The core
impact area has a post office. Many villagers have landline telephone connections. However, people
now also own mobile phones for quick and easy communication.
Lifestyle
Village life has always been the resemblance of simple society, informal relations, traditional livelihood
patterns and contented lives. The socio-economic changes are evident in progressive industrial
development that is transversing the whole of the developing nations. Gujarat state in India is the best
example we can get. The coming of the industries, creation of SEZ, SIR has made changes in the rural
life of Gujarat.
The scope for civic nuisance emerges with the coming of the migrant population. Local villagers giving
houses on rents have added on to their incomes. Blending of certain common attributes like fooding,

3. DESCRIPTION OF
THE ENVIRONMENT
common practices, lifestyle patterns, educational preferences etc. are remarkably noticed of the rural
community by coming in contact with in-migrated population in their area.
The local language spoken is Gujarati. However, use of Hindi language was also found in some rural
and most of the urban areas under our study.
Due to the development of upcoming industries, various facilities like hotel/restaurant, truck cleaners,
and other ancillary shops shall have more business opportunity and hence shall have overall positive
impact in socio economic environment.

ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS
& MITIGATION MEASURES
ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND

MITIGATION MEASURES
In this chapter, we:
Identify project activities that could beneficially or adversely impact the environment;
Predict and assess the environmental impacts of such activities;
Examine each environmental aspect-impact relationship in detail and identify its degree of
significance;
Identify possible mitigation measures for these project activities and select the most appropriate
mitigation measure, based on the reduction in significance achieved and practicality in
implementation;
In case impact are low or moderate and can be suitably managed by SOPs / OCPs, to minimize /
control the consequences, no specific management plans are prescribed;
If consequences are high / indicating significant impact, implementation of mitigation measures
requires specific management plan, these are prescribed.
4.1
INVESTIGATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS DUE TO THE PROPOSED

PROJECT
Details of investigated environmental impacts due to project location, possible accidents, project
design, project construction, regular operations and final decommissioning are discussed in this
section.
Key Definitions, identification of impacts, methodology of component wise risk assessment is described
in Annexure 10. This methodology is used in this chapter for preparing impacts and their listing
evaluation. Mitigation measures are formulated based on the significance of the impact.
A programme to implement all mitigation measures is then prepared and presented as an
Environmental Monitoring Program and Environmental Management Plan, presented in Chapter 6 &
Chapter 10 respectively.
Impact on environment have been identified, based on an assessment of various environmental
aspects associated with the project activities and has been summarized in Table 4-1.

Dispersion Modeling
Emissions from all the stacks were analyzed for their impacts on the GLC for various distances using
the dispersion modeling 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 modeling
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 modeling framework.
The American Meteorological Society/Environmental Protection Agency Regulatory Model Improvement
Committee (AERMIC) was formed to introduce state-of-the-art modeling concepts into the EPA's air
quality models. Through AERMIC, a modeling 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 modeling
system. It incorporates air dispersion based on planetary boundary layer turbulence structure and
scaling concepts. Data flow in Aermod modeling system is shown in Figure 4-1.
Figure 4-1: Data Flow in AERMOD Modeling System
Meteorological Parameters
The hourly meteorological data considered were wind speed, wind direction, ambient atmospheric
temperature, cloud cover, humidity & rainfall.
Other Assumptions
The dispersion modeling assumptions considered are as follows:
The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT;

Stability class and Atmospheric inversion level is based on softwares database.

NOISE ENVIRONMENT
For the purpose of impact predictions on noise environment, the impact assessment methodology is
given in Table 1 of Annexure 10. Based on the identified aspects from project activities, impact
scores and operational controls / mitigation measures on noise environment are tabulated in Table
4-10.
4.3.1
Assessment of Noise using SoundPlan
Noise Modelling study was done using the Software tool Sound Plan 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 analyze 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.

Based on the modeling of proposed activities, it is noted that the proposed activities will not have any
conflict in Noise levels comparing to the prescribed CPCB limits.
Cumulative Impact
Results are collated with baseline data to predict the cumulative incremental in noise levels at the
monitored receptors. The details of the same for day time and night time is tabulated in Table 4-13.
Conclusion
The predicted cumulative incremental increase in Noise level shows that following:
Incremental increase in core area of 250 m from site shows incremental increase in the range of
0.1 dB(A) to 9.7 dB(A) during day time and 0.4 dB(A) to 14.4 dB(A) during night time.
Beyond 250 m from the project area, increase in noise level is almost null.

WATER ENVIRONMENT
For the purpose of impact predictions on ground & surface water environment, the impact assessment
methodology is given in Table 1 of Annexure 10. Based on the identified aspects from project
activities, impact scores and operational controls / mitigation measures on water environment are
tabulated in Table 4-14.
4.4.1
Impact on Ground Water
No adverse impact on groundwater is envisaged as no withdrawal of groundwater is proposed in the

project. Also, groundwater recharge is not feasible in this area due to formational salinity.
4.4.2
Impact on Surface Water
Surface water quality and quantity will not be affected by the proposed project, since the project shall
achieve Zero Liquid Discharge, by taking various recycling and reuse steps as discussed in Chapter 2,
Section 2.17.
Only, during the heavy rainfall, there is a possibility of storm water to drain out from the factory
premise which will meet the storm water line of GIDC, having its final outlet in the Narmada Estuary
which is approximately 5 Km in south from the project site. Hence, impact on the surface water can be
considered negligible.
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.
Properly designed effluent drains with side barriers will be provided & inflow will be diverted to
MEE followed by ETP & RO for necessary treatment.
Zero Liquid Discharge shall be achieved by recycled and reuse of the treated waste water.
Process, chemical fuel storage and handling area will have proper bunds and dyke walls so that
contaminated run-off cannot meet the storm-water line.
The overall impact on surface water quality will be negligible by following all precautionary measures
as mentioned in mitigation measures.

ECOLOGY & BIODIVERSITY
Identification of Impact Zone

Though the concentrations of the emitted pollutants will be kept within permissible levels through the
various engineering controls, it is essential to have eco-management in the Likely Impact Zone (LIZ)
for safeguard and enhanced of ecological environment of the project area. Assuming LIZ of 1.8
kilometer (maximum) around the project site. Accordingly, 2 localities i.e. Jolwa and Galenda village
water bodies / ponds and other habitats (scrub vegetation, open vegetation, crop / fallow land) and
associated biodiversity are falling in the LIZ area.
Determination of Ecological Components Likely Impacted
Ecological components, as tabulated in Table 4-16, are determined which may face likely impacts in
different phases due to various project activities.

mitigation measures on ecology and biodiversity environment are tabulated in Table 4-17.
Biodiversity Appraisal Conclusion
Proposed project site is located in the GIDC Industrial Estate 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. However, buffer zone area encompasses some Schedule-I species, so conservation
plan have been prepared for biodiversity improvement of the area.
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.
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.
