CHJ SECURITIES (P) LTD & OTHERS - EMP, RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS PROJECT AT SY.NO.978 & 979 OF KUKATPALLY (VILLAGE), BALANAGAR (MANDAL), RANGA REDDY (DIST), TELANGANA Sewage Treatment Process Description: Sewage treatment plant is designed to treat KLD of Sewage per day. The proposed scheme is depicted in the figure attached below. Primary treatment: The Sewage is collected and led via drain to the treatment plant site. In the drains, screens shall be provided for retaining coarse matter. The screens are manual type and are to be cleaned at regular intervals. Two stages of screens are provided i.e. coarse screen followed by fine screens. The Sewage is then taken to grit chamber for removal of grit. Following removal of grit, the Sewage is taken to an equalization tank for attenuation of variation in waste flow rate and characteristics. It is proposed to have equalization tank with holding capacity of 6 hours DT. For mixing, and to avoid solids from settling, air shall be bubbled in the equalization tank through a grid placed at the base of the tank. The equalized Sewage is pumped at a uniform and constant rate for further treatment. Secondary treatment: Sewage from the primary stage treatment is subjected to bio-chemical oxidation in aeration tank. An attached growth fluidized bed aerobic system working as an extended aeration system is proposed. Air for aeration is supplemented by means of blowers connected to air diffusers. For immobilizing the microbes, high surface area to volume ratio synthetic media shall be provided in the aeration tank. This system has the following advantages: a) Smaller foot print area b) Ease in operation and maintenance c) Operator skills required are minimal d) System less susceptible to upset conditions (shock loading, power failure etc.) e) Lower energy requirements f) No clogging or chocking of the media. Following bio-chemical oxidation, the Sewage from the aeration tank is taken to a tube-deck (secondary settling tank) for solid-liquid separation. M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 13

CHJ SECURITIES (P) LTD & OTHERS - EMP, RESIDENTIAL APARTMENTS PROJECT AT SY.NO.978 & 979 OF KUKATPALLY (VILLAGE), BALANAGAR (MANDAL), RANGA REDDY (DIST), TELANGANA The sludge collected in the hopper bottom of the settling tank is periodically withdrawn to sludge sump tank. Overflow from the settling tank is subjected to tertiary treatment. Overflow from the secondary settling tank is taken to chemical oxidation tank for chemically oxidizing the residual contaminants. Chlorine shall be added for chemical oxidation. For adequate contact time a chlorine contact chamber with 30 minutes detention time and mixing arrangement is proposed. Tertiary treatment: The Sewage from chlorine contact chamber is then collected in a sump and pumped to a pressure sand filter for removal of particulate matter. The Sewage is then taken through an activated carbon column for removal of trace organics and pollutants (chlorine, color, trace organics etc.). Sludge Treatment: Sludge from the settling tank shall be transferred to sludge sump tank. By using filter press feed pumps we transfer the sludge from sludge sump tank to filter press. The water from the filter press is recycled into the equalization tank. FIGURE 2.4 PROPOSED SCHEME OF TREATMENT M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 14

Solid & Hazardous Waste Details: Domestic garbage is anticipated from the residential activity. Total solid waste 2.5 Kg/day per house hold and kg/day/sq.mt from garden. Thus total garbage anticipated from the residential activity will be kg/day from house hold activities and 3.0 kg/day from garden & open space area, which is proposed to be disposed to municipal solid waste disposal facility of MCH through local municipal authorities. About 15 Kgs/day of solid waste will be anticipated from sewage treatment plant and the same will be used as manure. The hazardous waste generated will primarily be waste oil from maintenance of DG sets of about 30 liters per annum. This waste oils will be collected in barrels and disposed off through parties authorized by TSPCB / CPCB. 2 No s per annum of used batteries will be disposed of by a buy-back arrangement with the battery supplier.

In this case, pollution emission sources shall be distributed throughout the project site and shall fall under the category of area source. The land acquired is fairly flat, so extensive formation work is not expected during this phase. It is assumed that most of the excavated material shall be used within the project, with minimal cut and fill material to come from outside the site. Due to the confined nature of heavy construction activity during this limited period, tailpipe emissions from construction equipment are assumed to be essentially negligible. OPERATIONAL PHASE During the operational phase, the diesel generator sets to be operated for back-up power supply are the major source of air pollution. From this point source, the following pollutants are expected; PM, SO2, NOx and CO M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 18

The diesel generator set is operated only during power failure thus conserving fuel and reducing the pollution. 3.3 NOISE EMISSIONS SOURCES The assessment of the impacts of noise on the surrounding community depends upon: Characteristics of noise source (instantaneous, intermittent, or continuous in nature, with the latter contributing the least to noise pollution); Time of day at which noise occurs; and Location of noise source with respect to noise sensitive receptor. CONSTRUCTION PHASE The description of construction activity as detailed in Section (with regards to spatial phasing and type of sources) is also pertinent to the noise emissions emitted in the construction phase. Sources of noise emissions are expected from various types of construction equipment.

Source: WATER AND WASTEWATER MANAGEMENT WATER REQUIREMENTS Water requirement during the construction phase will be met from water tankers. The required water during the operational phase will be sourced from Public Supply/Bore Wells. However, in the event of non-availability of water or for any excess requirement of water during the operational phase, the proponents are proposing backup with the aid of rainwater collection in the reservoirs which will be duly treated, water recycling and water tankers (in case of water supply failure). It is also emphasized that at any stage of the project, groundwater reserves would not be exploited for the water requirement. The water requirements during various phases of the project are discussed below: A) CONSTRUCTION PHASE The project implementation would involve various construction activities. The following section summarizes the water requirement, its sources and management of wastewater. Site development: Development of site for the proposed development involves excavation, leveling of the ground surface and stock piling. However as the project site is flat with no vegetation cover, the leveling activities would result in very less water usage. Water requirement for any use at this stage would be M/s.

Similarly, the generation of domestic wastewater can be managed on site. Construction of building infrastructure: The construction of building infrastructure that includes residential and other units, Offices, restaurants and multiplex would require water and may generate waste water too. Water demand during construction phase would be for: Construction activities. Domestic use. Construction phase may last for a period of approximately two years in order to complete the earthwork, foundation lying, superstructure development, service provision and finishing. The water requirement is being met from the water tankers. B) OPERATIONAL PHASE Daily Water Requirement and Sources: It has been mentioned before that the domestic water requirements will be met from the Public Water supply scheme/bore Wells. The water requirement for Flushing, Gardening, Landscaping and other purposes would be met from duly treated recycled water. However, in case of failure of public water supply, water requirements are planned to be met partly by tankers and partly by rainwater harvesting by way of collecting the rain water in the specifically built reservoirs, which would be duly treated before use in the Residential activity otherwise it will be recharged to the ground to augment the water table in the area. Water tankers will be used only in case of any emergency or failure of water supply by Public Supply or insufficiency of the water reservoir. M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 22

As per the approved plans from HMDA, various mitigative measures shall be proposed to further minimize the impacts. Storm Water Management & Rain Water Harvesting Structures Elaborate plans have been made for channelizing the storm water by constructing water drains leading to the reservoirs. In order to minimize the surface runoff loss, groundwater recharging through groundwater recharge pits at the project site has been planned. Appropriate design considerations have been taken while designing the recharge pits.

This would result in settlement of less labour colonies in the project site and hence less wastewater generation from the transit labour settlements. B) OPERATIONAL PHASE During this phase, it has been assumed that 80 % of the water supplied will be discharged as wastewater (Source: Manual on sewerage and sewage treatment, published by Government of India). Hence approximately KLD of domestic effluent would be generated. Wastewater generated is expected to have characteristics and pollution load as shown in Table 3.6. TABLE 3.6: EXPECTED WASTEWATER CHARACTERISTICS AND POLLUTION LOAD Parameter Unit Inlet Outlet Concentration Concentration Quantity KLD ph Oil & Grease Mg/l <10 TSS Mg/l <10 BOD Mg/l <20 COD Mg/l <30 The wastewater with the foresaid characteristics can neither be discharged into inland surface water nor reused. Suitable treatment would be given to the wastewater so as to meet CPCB requirements depending upon the end use. It is proposed to install a sewage treatment plant of capacity 140 KLD, to recover the recycled water of quality suitable for use in flushing and gardening. A sewage treatment plant of 140 KLD capacity based on Fluidized Aerobic Bio-Reactor (FAB) technology is proposed to treat KLD of sewage water generated in the proposed project.

S.No Fugitive Dust Source Category TABLE 5.1: DUST CONTROL PLAN Dust Control Actions 1. Earth-moving - For any earth moving which is more than 30m from all property lines, conduct watering as necessary to prevent visible dust emissions from exceeding 100m in length in any direction. 2. Disturbed surface areas (except completed grading areas) Disturbed surface areas (completed grading areas) 3. Inactive disturbed surface areas - Apply dust suppression in a sufficient quantity and frequency to maintain a stabilized surface; - Areas, which cannot be stabilized, as evidenced by wind driven dust, must have an application of water at least twice per day to at least 80 percent of the unstabilized area. - Apply water to at least 80 percent of all inactive accessible disturbed surface areas on a daily basis when there is evidence of wind driven fugitive dust. - Apply dust suppressants in sufficient quantity and frequency to maintain a stabilized surface. 4. Unpaved roads -Water all roads used for any vehicular traffic at least twice per day of active operations; OR - Water all roads used for any vehicular traffic once daily and restrict vehicle speed to 30 kmph.

Open storage piles - Apply water to at least 80 percent of the surface areas of all open storage piles on a daily basis when there is evidence of wind driven fugitive dust. 6. Track-out control -Downwash of trucks (especially tyres) prior to departure from site. The most cost-effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of water tends to be readily available on a construction site. Water can be applied using water trucks, handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Furthermore, incoming loads could be covered to avoid loss of material in transport, especially if material is transported off-site. Procedural Changes to Construction Activities Material Production - The transport of materials such as concrete and asphalt to construction sites generate significant amounts of road dust, especially for sites that are relatively far from material manufacturers. Setting up temporary portable concrete plants and/or asphalt plants at construction sites can eliminate haulage of materials. Emission Control for Equipment- Control equipment such as particle filters can be used to reduce diesel particulate matter emissions. Idling Time Reduction - Construction equipment is commonly left idling while the operators are on break or waiting for the completion of another task. Emissions from idling equipment tend to be high, since catalytic converters cool down, thus reducing the efficiency of hydrocarbon and carbon monoxide oxidation. Existing idling control technologies, which automatically shut the engine off after a preset time can reduce emissions, without intervention from the operators. Improved Maintenance - Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved through regular equipment maintenance, contractors will be asked to provide maintenance records for their fleet as part of the contract bid and at regular intervals throughout the life of the contract.

Reduction of On-site Construction Time - Rapid on-site construction would reduce the duration of traffic interference and therefore, reduce emissions from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of structural components can also enhance the quality of work, as the production takes place in controlled settings and external factors such as weather and traffic do not interfere. B) OPERATION PHASE To mitigate the impact of pollutants from diesel generator sets during the operational phase of the site the following measures are recommended for implementation: Diesel generator set emission control measures; and Greenbelt development. Diesel Generator Set Emission Control Measures The most important pollutant requiring further control is NOx, as the impact of SO 2 emission is minimal because of the use of low (~0.05%) Sulphur in diesel as fuel. The following mitigation measures are proposed for NOx reduction: add-on emission control technologies; and NOx retarder Among the above-mentioned options, inherent low NOx emissions technologies (i.e. a temperature retarder) and better dilution through higher stack are preferred cost effective mitigation measures. The add-on emission control technologies are not considered as it leads to pollution transfer to another media and shall require further mitigative measures. M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 47

This shield is a physical barrier (composed of brick and mud, with a non reflective internal plastering), approximately 3 meters in height, which will provide adequate noise attenuation. Time of Operation - Noisy construction equipment should not be permitted during night hours. Job Rotation and Hearing Protection - Workers employed in high noise areas will be rotated. Earplugs/muffs, or other hearing protective wear will be provided to those working very close to the noise generating machinery. B) OPERATION PHASE To mitigate the impact of noise from diesel generator sets during the operational phase the following measures are recommended for implementation: Noise emissions control technologies; and Greenbelt development. Noise Emissions Control Technologies: All the diesel generators will be housed in a suitable acoustic enclosure so that noise levels at a distance of one meter do not exceed 75 db(a) at 75% load (as per CPCB norms). The diesel generator set housing will be equipped with walls and ceilings lined with glass wool to acoustically treat the noise levels. This acoustic insulation M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 49

Following management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during the construction phase. Avoid excavation during monsoon season. No discharge of treated wastewater to soil and ground water body. Waste water channels from the site would be connected to septic tank during construction to prevent wastewater from entering the water bodies. To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers should be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area should be kept effectively impervious. Any wash off from the oil/grease handling area or workshop shall be drained through impervious drains, Clarifiers or oil/water separators shall be constructed and effluent should be treated appropriately before releasing it. Construction activities generate disturbed soil, concrete fines, fertilizer, oils and other wastes. On-site collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of equipment wash downs, and prevention of soil loss and toxic releases from the construction site are necessary to minimize water pollution. All stacking and loading areas should be provided with proper garland drains equipped with baffles to prevent run off from the site to enter any water body. M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 50

Drip irrigation can save between 15-40% of the water use, compared with other watering techniques. Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones to match precipitation heads and emitters. Use of low-volume, low-angle sprinklers for lawn areas. Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture sensors to account for seasonal variations, and calibrate them during commissioning. Selecting a drought resistant grass, and using lawn chemicals and fertilizer sparingly also reduces watering needs. Place 3 to 5 in. of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation. Promoting Reuse of Water after Treatment and Development of Closed Loop Systems To promote reuse of Water after Treatment and development of closed loop system for water, segregation of two schemes namely (i) Wastewater Treatment scheme; and (ii) Storm water management scheme have been suggested. Harvested storm water as discussed in earlier section, shall be utilized for artificial recharge of ground water sources as well as to augment the project water requirements. Recycled wastewater shall be reused on site for flushing, and gardening. It is estimated that reusing wastewater will save approximately 30 to 35 % of portable water per day in the shopping mall.

The following section discusses management of each type of waste. Besides management of topsoil is an important area for which management measures are required. Construction Debris Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re-utilization and recycling is an important strategy for management of such waste. As concrete and masonry constitute the majority of waste generated, recycling of this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for new construction activity. This is particularly applicable to shopping mall project as the construction is to be completed in a phased manner. Recycled aggregate will be used for filler application, and as a sub-base for internal road construction. Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, shall not be used as fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and will be given to recyclers. Construction contractors shall remove metal scrap from structural steel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work from the site. A significant portion of wood scrap can be reused on site. Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc shall be sold to recyclers. Solid and Other waste Construction sites are sources of many toxic substances, such as paints, solvents, wood preservatives, pesticides, adhesives and sealants. Such wastes generated during construction phase shall be stored in sealed containers, labeled, and disposed of as required by the Hazardous Wastes Management, Handling and Transboundary Movement Amendment Rules (MoEF, 2009). Some management practices to be developed are; M/s. VISON LABS, HYDERABAD 54

Adequate storage facilities for such waste shall be provided and the waste collection containers conveniently located. A separate designation to earmark such waste will be made so that the waste storage areas are away from storm drains or watercourses. Clearly label all such waste containers with the waste being stored and the date of generation. Educate employees and subcontractors on waste storage and disposal procedures. Soil Management Measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion and contamination include - Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt development. To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers should be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash off from the oil/grease handling area shall be drained through impervious drains and treated appropriately before disposal. Vegetation of bare areas after the project. Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction). Construction of erosion prevention troughs/berms. B) OPERATIONAL PHASE The philosophy of solid waste management at the shopping mall will be to encourage the four R s of waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery (materials & energy). This will reduce in lesser reliance on land filling. Regular public awareness meetings will be conducted to involve the occupants and the employees to ensure proper segregation, storage and M/s.

Segregation and storage at source Segregation of waste at source should be made mandatory for the activity. Segregation or sorting waste at its source should be practiced in order to encourage reuse/recycling. With segregation at source recyclables do not lose their commercial value due to cross contamination. Waste generated at the residential activity should be segregated as: bio degradable, inert cum mixed waste, recyclables and waste from changing oil. The entire waste stream from the activity should be stored and collected separately. Collection The Recyclables from the shopping mall would be given to the waste itinerant buyers or rag pickers, whereas segregated bio-degradable waste and inert cum mixed waste shall be sent to the nearest landfill site for processing and final disposal. Wastes, such as spent oils, paint residues etc. from the site would be collected separately & would be properly disposed off EMP FOR BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT Construction activities change the natural environment.
