Primary data i.e., baseline data will be monitored for one season excluding rainy season. Secondary data will be collected for three months. Monitoring of the parameters will be carried out as per CPCB guidelines within the study area BASELINE STUDY The existing environmental setting will be considered to establish the baseline conditions which are described with respect to climatic conditions, air quality, water quality, soil characteristics, ecology, socio-economic profile, land use and noise. Baseline data describes the existing environmental status of the identified study area with reference to the prominent environmental attributes. Hence baseline environmental status is the most important study Page 11

12 based on which probable impacts from the proposed project can be predicted. Hence, it is necessary to ascertain the baseline data of the above mentioned environmental facets. 3.2 LAND ENVIRONMENT The first feature which influence the development of a project is the existing land use pattern of the neighborhood of the project, whether the proposed development conforms to the development for that area or not. The detail study of the land environment will include the following study areas.

Study about trend of change in land use pattern, if any, with reasons thereof for the last 10 years based on remote sensing techniques data and its extrapolation to future 10 years with and without the project LAND USE PATTERN The use of land is determined both by physical factors such as topography, climate, and soil types as well as human factors such as population density, technological capability, culture & tradition etc. Land use has a major impact on natural resources including ware, soil, nutrients, plants and animals. Land Use in the urban planning context means the use to which zones of land are put to. It could be residential, commercial, industrial, parks and open space, playground, traffic and transportation etc. The use to which land should be put to must be optional. This can be done only if the existing land use is estimated. Page 12
