Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA)

Environmental impact assessment is an instrument to evaluate the consequences of establishment of
new project or expansion of project related to industries, mining, pipeline, highway etc.

EIA (Environment Impact Assessment) from CPCB /

Ministry of Environment & Forests
The purpose of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is to identify and evaluate the potential

impacts(beneficial and adverse)of development and projects on the environmental system.It is an useful aid for

decision making based on understanding of the environment implications including social, cultural and aesthetic

concerns which could be integrated with the analysis of the project costs and benifits.This exercise should be

undertaken early enough in the planning stage of projects for selection of environmentally compatible

sites,process technologies and such other environmental safeguards.

While all industrial projects may have some environmental impacts all of them may not be significant enough to

warrant elaborate assessment procedures. The need for such exercises will have to be decided after initial

evaluation of the possible implications of a particular project and its location.The projects which could be the

candidates for detailed Environment Impact Assessment include the following:-

Those which can significantly alter the landscape,land use pattern and lead to concentration of working

and service population;

Those which need upstream development activity like assured mineral and forest products suuply or

downstream industrial process development;

Those involving manufacture,handling and use of hazardous materials;

Those which are sited near ecologically sensitive areas,urban centers, hill resorts,places of scientific

and religious importance.

Hi there, T
Industrial Estates with constituent units of various types which could cumulatively cause significant
 environmental damage.

The Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) should be prepared on the basis of the existing background

pollution levels vis-a-vis contributions of pollutants from the proposed plant.The EIA should address some of the

basic factors listed below:

Meteorology and air quality

Ambient levels of pollutants such as Sulphur Dioxide,oxides of nitrogen, carbonmonoxide,suspended

particulate matters,should be determined at the center and at 3 other locations on a radius of 10 km with

120 degrees angle between stations.Additional contribution of pollutants at the locations are required to

be predicted after taking into account the emission rates of the pollutants from the stacks of the

proposed plant,under different meteorological conditions prevailing in the area.

Hydrology and water quality

Site and its surroundings

Occupational safety and health

Details of the treatment and disposal of effluents(liquid,air and solid) and the methods of alternative uses

Transportation of raw material and details of material handling

Control equipment and measures proposed to be adopted

Preparation of Environmental Management Plan is required for formulation, implementation and monitoring of

environmental protection measures during and after commissioning of projects.

Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Environmental Management Plan (EMP)

Preparation of environmental management plan is required for formulation, implementation and monitoring of

environmental protection measures during and after commissioning of projects.The plans should indicate the

details as to how various measures have been or are proposed to be taken including cost components as may

be required.Cost of measures for environmental safeguards should be treated as an integral component of the

project cost and environmental aspects should be taken into account at various stages of the projects:

Conceptualization:preliminary environmental assessment

Planning:detailed studies of environmental impacts and design of safeguards

Execution:implementation of environmental safety measures

Operation:monitoring of effectiveness of built-in safeguards

The management plans should be necessarily based on considerations of resource conservation and pollution

abatement,some of which are:

Liquid Effluents

Air Pollution

Solid Wastes

Noise and Vibration

Occupational Safety and Health

Prevention,maintenance and operation of Environment Control Systems

House-Keeping

Human Settlements

Transport Systems

Recovery - reuse of waste products

Vegetal Cover

Disaster Planning

Environment Management Cell

Liquid Effluents

Effluents from the industrial plants should be treated well to the standards as prescribed by the

Central/State Water Pollution Control Boards.

Soil permeability studies should be made prior to effluents being discharged into holding tanks or

impoundments and steps taken to prevent percolation and ground water contamination.

Special precautions should be taken regarding flight patterns of birds in the area.Effluents containing

toxic comppounds,oil and grease have been known to cause extensive death of migratory birds.Location

of plants should be prohibited in such type of sensitive areas.

Deep well burial of toxic effluents should not be resorted to as it can result in re-surfacing and ground

water contamination.Re-surfacing has been known to cause extensive damage to crop and livestocks.

In all cases,efforts should be made for re-use of water and its conservation.

Air Pollution

The emission levels of pollutants from the different stacks,should conform to the pollutin control

standards prescribed by Central or State Boards.

Adequate control equipment should be installed for minimising the emission of pollutants from the

i t k
 various stacks.

In-plant control measures should be taken to contain the fugitive emissions.

Infrastructural facilities should be provided for monitoring the stack emissions and measuring the

ambient air quality including micro-meteorological data(wherever required) in the area.

Proper stack height as prescribed by the Central/State Pollution Control Boards should be provided for

better dispersion of pollutants over a wider area to minimise the effect of pollution.

Community buildings and townships should be built up-wind of plant with one-half to one kilometer

greenbelt in adition to physiographical barrier.

Solid Wastes

The site for waste disposal should be checked to verify permeability so that no contamimants percolate

into the ground water or river/lake.

Waste disposal areas should be planned down-wind of villages and townships.

Reactive materials should be disposed of by immobilising the reactive materials with suitable additives.

The pattern of filling disposal site should be planned to create better landscape and be approved by

appropriate agency and the appropriately pretreated solid wastes should be disposed according to the

approved plan.

Intensive programs of tree plantation on disposal areas should be undertaken.

Noise and Vibration

Adequate measures should be taken for control of noise and vibrations in the industry.

Occupational Safety and Health

Proper precautionary measures for adopting occupational safety and health standards should be taken.

Prevention,maintenance and operation of Environment Control Systems

Adequate safety precautions should be taken during preventive maintenance and shut down of the

control systems.

A system of inter-locking with the production equipment should be implemented where highly toxic

compounds are involved.

House - Keeping

Proper house-keeping and cleanliness should be maintained both inside and outside of the industry.

Human Settlements
 Residential colonies should be located away from the solid and liquid waste dumping

areas.Meteorological and environmental conditions should be studied properly before selecting the site

for residential areas in order to avoid air pollution problems.

Persons who are displaced or have lost agricultural lands as a result of locating the industries in the

area,should be properly rehabilitated.

Transport Systems

Proper parking places should be provided for the trucks and other vehicles by the industries to avoid any

congestion or blocking of roads.

Siting of industries on the highways should be avoided as it may add to more road accidents because of

substantial increase in the movements of heavy vehicles and unauthorised shops and settlements

coming up around the industrial complex.

Spillage of chemicals/substances on roads inside the plant may lead to accidents.Proper road safety

signs both inside and outside the plant should be displayed for avoiding road accidents.

Recovery - reuse of waste products

Efforts should be made to recycle or recover the waste materials to the extent possible.The treated liquid

effluents can be conveniently and safely used for irrigation of lands,plants and fields for growing non-

edible crops.

Vegetal Cover

Industries should plant trees and ensure vegetal cover in their premises.This is particularly advisable for

those industries having more than 10 acres of land.

Disaster Planning

Proper disaster planning should be done to meet any emergency situation arising due to

fire,explosion,sudden leakage of gas etc.Fire fighting equipment and other safety appliances should be

kept ready for use during disaster/emergency situation including natural calamities like

earthquake/flood.

Environment Management Cell

Each industry should identify within its setup a Department/Section/Cell with trained personnel to take

up the model responsibility of environmental management as required for planning and implementation

of the projects.
