1 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN & CER 52

2 ENVIRONMENTAL & SOCIAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 1.1 INTRODUCTION: The Environmental impact can be defined as any alteration of environmental conditions, adverse or beneficial, caused or induced by the action or set of actions under consideration. Various operations involved in the proposed Navkar Residency- Affordable Housing Project have been studied in details to identify, predict and evaluate impacts on various environmental components. The identified impacts were quantified using mathematical models to a possible extent so as to estimate the future environmental scenario. 1.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT: a. Construction Phase: Source of Pollution & Impacts: Source: The source of air pollution during construction phase will be vehicular pollution, transportation of goods and material and various construction activities. Impact: If not mitigated properly this may result in the built up of pollutants at site and nearby area. Stockpile will be located as per predominant wind direction. Regular sprinkling of water will be done to suppress dust pollution. PUC certified vehicles will be used for carrying construction materials. Covered transportation of construction material will be promoted and ensured. Overloading of the vehicles will be avoided. Covering of the construction site on all four sides to a considerable height to prevent dust emissions and other pollutants to the surrounding environment. b. Operational Phase: Source of Pollution & Impacts: Source: The source of air pollution during operational phase will be vehicular pollution Impact: It is anticipated through air quality modeling (enclosed as Annexure I) that the said project activities will result in incremental concentration of pollutants NO x & CO. However, the resultant concentration of NO x & CO will be under prescribed limits. 53

3 Sufficient width of driveways will be provided to ensure smooth traffic movements. Speed humps will be installed for speed restrictions inside the project area. Approximately 4, Sq.m (5.04%) area will be under landscape, which will help to contain the emission within permissible norms. 1.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT: a. Construction Phase: Source of Pollution: Source: The source of water pollution during construction phase will waste water generated from construction labour residence, leaching of contaminated water, surface run off from construction site etc. Impact: This may result in the contamination of ground water, nearby water bodies and nuisance in surrounding area. Septic tanks followed by soak pits will be provided to treat waste water generated from labour residence. Awareness program will be conducted to educate the team for judicial use of water. Soil and water management structures will be in place prior to the commencement of construction works, and any advance activities likely to generate erosion and sedimentation impacts. Silt fencing with sausage, Temporary silt fencing will be installed at selected locations across the site. Stockpiles will not be located in proximity to existing or proposed drainage lines and storm water inlets. b. Operational Phase: Source of Pollution: Source: The source of water pollution during operational phase will be waste water generation from project activities, rain water, sludge generated from waste water treatment etc. Excessive use of ground water (if any) is also a point of concern. 54

4 Impact: Discharge of untreated waste water and sludge will result in the contamination of ground water, nuisance at site, chances of disease vector etc. Closed system for waste water transportation at the site will be followed to avoid odour and other possibilities of environment contamination. Regular cleaning of drains / associated structure will be followed. Sludge pretreatment and utilization as manure. Sludge will be pre treated before disposal. Use of water efficient fixtures can be consider, in place of conventional system, which will help in achieve approximately 18.92% reduction in fresh water demand. 1.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT: a. Construction Phase: Source of Pollution: Source: The source of noise pollution during construction phase will vehicular movement, construction machineries, DG set(if any) etc. Impact: This may result in the disturbance and discomfort to near by habitat. The construction area will be shielded with help of tarpaulin sheets. Complete construction work especially heavy earth work will be done during day time. Traffic planning and management will be done. Proper maintenance of vehicles and machineries will be ensured. The D.G. sets used will be eco friendly with minimum noise. Ear plugs will be provided to the workers. b. Operational Phase: Source: The source of noise pollution during operational phase will be vehicular noise Impact: This may result in the discomfort to residents and nearby facilities. Adequate driveway and parking including provisions of visitors parking will be provided. 55

5 There will be less starting and stopping and the vehicles will be speed restricted to ensure the noise within the permissible limits. The area will cover 4, Sq.m (5.04%) area under landscape, which will help to absorb noise. 1.5 SOILD WASTE MANAGEMENT: a. Construction Phase: Source of Pollution: Source: During construction phase around 595 MT waste will be generated from construction practices. The waste will contain excavated soil, construction debris, wood, concrete, metal scraps, plastic etc in varying composition. Efforts will be made to reuse the waste within the site itself remaining waste will be sold to authorized recyclers and vendors. Other then this approximately 20 kg/day municipal solid waste will be generated from workers and staff. b. Operational Phase Source of Pollution: Source: Generation of 1306 Kg/day municipal waste from domestic as well as shop activities is anticipated at the time of full occupancy of the project. Out of this 1112 kg will be biodegradable and rest 194 kg will be non biodegradable. The solid waste generated will be first segregated and collected in different bins as plastic, glass, paper, and other waste separately and disposed off as per MSW Rules. No onsite treatment will be provided. The waste will be sent to Municipal Corporation disposal sites. 1.6 FIRE PROTECTION: Essential fire safety measures will be installed into the building to ensure the safety of the occupants within the building in the event of fire or other emergency. The entire building will be designed as per NBC-2005 of India pertaining to fire-hazards. Proper fire-exits and exit-signage will be provided. Fire-extinguishers of appropriate type will be placed on a readily accessible place and will be maintained accordingly. 56

Construction Phase: Site is situated in urban eco system. Project Site has no existing vegetation to be cleared in pre construction phase. However, few herbs and shrubs existing at site may require clearing. No site specific or endangered fauna is observed at the site. Only reptiles & small mammal species observed at site which is of Least concern category as per IUCN (version 3.1). Impact: Impact will be negligible & short term. The extent of impact will be limited to the project site only. Vegetation/herb/shrub clearance will be done only at the places where it is unavoidable. Topsoil will be stored at particular places and will be reused at site only. Appropriate erosion control and water diversion structures should be constructed at the same time as the vegetation is cleared so that the loosened soil is not left vulnerable to erosion. b. Operational Phase: Impact: The only negative impact is to existing on site vegetation and fauna at project site. This will be taken care off with proper mitigation measures in pre construction and construction phase. However, during operational phase landscaping and plantation will result in positive impact of reduction of heat island effect, aesthetic beauty, pollution absorbance etc. The list of native plants proposed to be planted in operational phase is given as under: 58
