1.1.2 Base line Monitoring and Preparation of EIA/EMP report

Once ToR is granted by MoEFCC, the data generation work shall begin in a period other
than monsoon for one full season. However, the baseline data generation work shall be as
mentioned hereunder.

Assessment of existing environmental status (Baseline data)

The study area considered for baseline data generation will be taken 10 km radius around
the project site. Baseline data generation will be within the study area and will be carried
out with respect to meteorology, air, water, noise, soil, ecology, socio-economic factors
and land use. This will be carried out for one full season (three months continuously)
other than monsoon as follows:

1.1.3 Air
