Weekdays (average load) Weekends (Peak load) Staff Visitors Total Land use Planning as per Environmental Clearance and proposed plan: As per earlier Environmental After Expansion clearance Land use Area (sq. m) Percentage (%) Area (sq. m) Percentage (%) Ground Coverage Green Area Road and open area Total Plot area Land Use as per Environmental Clearance 48.04, 48% 35.38, 35% 16.56, 17% Ground Coverage Green Area Road and open area

10 Land Use After Expansion 43.58, 44% 16.56, 16% 39.84, 40% Ground Coverage Green Area Road and open area Assessment of infrastructure Demand (Physical and social): As the physical infrastructure already exists in the area there is no need for development of new infrastructure. The expansion of Shopping Mall Mall of India in the project area will result in the increase in the social infrastructure as the population related to complex in form of staff, employees, visitors will increase. 3.6 Proposed Infrastructure: Industrial area: This is the development of Shopping Mall so there will not be any production in the project area Green development and Plantation Details: Green belt planning has already been done with ecological perspectives and this has helped in increasing the aesthetic effect of the environment. The trees maintain the regional ecological balance and conform to soil and hydrological conditions. Indigenous species would be preferred. Green belt/greenery has been developed along most of the periphery of the project area as well as along roads. Area under plantation/greenery after expansion remains same as in earlier case i.e sqm which has already been planted.

13 3.6.4 Sewage system: The amount of waste water generated from shopping mall during average load (weekday) will be 533 KLD and during peak load (weekend) will be 754 KLD. The waste water generated shall be treated in in-house STP of total 800 KLD capacity. No excess treated water shall be discharged in sewer line. STP installed is based on SAFF Technology. SCHEME OF SEWAGE TREATMENT PLANT: The Sewage Treatment Plant of total capacity 800 KLD offered has some distinct advantages over conventional activated sludge processes. The scheme is proven, under a variety of operating conditions, and is highly flexible in operation. The characteristics of Raw sewage and the characteristics required for the treated water will be as given in Table below respectively. RAW SEWAGE CHARACTERISTICS ph BOD mg / l COD mg / l TSS mg / l Oil & Grease mg / l Upto 50 The Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) can give treated water, which can be reused for Flushing, Gardening, Cooling & Miscellaneous purposes. TREATED SEWAGE CHARACTERISTICS ph BOD mg / l <10 COD mg / l <60 TSS mg / l <10 Oil & Grease mg / l <10 STP is based on SAFF technology. TREATMENT PROCESS: The sewage from the existing collection sump shall be pumped (through the existing submersible pumps) to the inlet of Bar Screen Chamber & an Oil & Grease Trap where any extraneous / floating matter would get trapped. The sewage would then be collected in a Receiving Sump where the variations in flow and characteristics are dampened, which otherwise can lead to operational problems and moreover it allows a constant flow rate downstream. The waste water from equalization tank goes to primary settling tank (PST) for removal of suspended solids. After PST waste water goes to SAFF reactor where BOD/COD reduction is achieved. The oxygen is supplied through coarse air bubble diffusers.

14 The excess bio-solids formed in the biological process will be separated in the downstream secondary settling tank (SST). After SST water is treated with chlorine in chlorine contact tank for disinfections. The waste water is passed through MGF and a cylindrical tank fitted with granulated activated carbon called activated Carbon Filter for removal of suspended solids and odour. The treated water after carbon filter goes to storage tank for reuse. The biological sludge generated from the reactors, which is settled in the Plate Settler, will be drained to the Filter Press. Sludge Disposal The excess sludge produced by the aeration process would be highly mineralized and disposed off either in liquid form or cake form after thickening in the sludge thickener SCHEMATIC DIAGRAM OF STP: Blower Primary Tube Settler Primary Tube Settler Disposal Influent Sewage Lifting Pump Equalization Tank SAFF Reactor Clear Water Tank Sludge Disposal as Manure Filter feed Pump Sand Filter Activated Carbon Filter Backwash to Equalization Tank for Re treatment Rain water harvesting: The main source of ground water recharging in the study area is rainwater, which infiltrates into the ground through various lithological units present in the study area. 10 number of rainwater harvesting pits are proposed within the complex. 8 pits are already installed. 2 are proposed. The runoff from the rooftop and storm water shall go to the recharge pits. Scheme for ground water recharging The rainwater will be diverted from the rooftop using rain water pipes to the surface/underground drainage network. The rainwater is diverted into the de-silting tank to remove inorganic impurities and the outflow of the de-silting tank is taken into the recharge well.

15 De-silting tank The de-silting is used to remove silt and other floating impurities from rainwater. Desilting tank is like an ordinary container having provision for the inflow, outflow, and overflow. Apart from removing silt it holds the excess amount of water till it is soaked up by the recharge structure. The bottom of tank will have unpaved surface (layers of coarse sand) to allow standing water to percolate into soil. The rainwater collected in these de-silting chambers shall be utilized for horticulture. Recharge well The recharge well consists of percolation pits with 3.2 mm dia boreholes in the middle of the pits. UPVC pipe of 160 mm dia perforated will be lowered in the middle of the boreholes and the pit will be filled with gravel and pebbles in three layers of 400 mm each consisting of boulders, gravel and coarse sand. The mouth of the UPVC pipe shall be protected to avoid silt getting into it. The depth of the bore will depend on the soil condition/water strata. The schematic diagram is enclosed. It should be therefore concluded that there is no significant impact on surface water quality & hydrology of the area. The proposed rainwater-harvesting scheme will stabilize the groundwater table in the area. Rain Water Harvesting Calculation after Expansion: Soil Quality: Silt Loam Number of pits: 13 nos.

16 3.6.9 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT: Total solid waste generated during average load (weekday) will be 5250 kg/day which will be properly managed and send to organic waste converter & approved vendors/recyclers. During weekends, due to increase in population total municipal solid waste will be 7620 kg/day out of which biodegradable waste will be 5334 kg/day and recyclable waste will be 2286 kg/day. The solid waste categories and disposal method detail during average load (weekday) is shown is given in below: Municipal Waste Management Type of Waste Colour of Bins Category Disposal Method Total Waste (Kg/day) (Total) Organics Green Bio Degradable Authorized Vendor 3675 Recyclable Items Blue Recyclable Recycler 1575 Total Municipal Waste 5250 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT: Hazardous waste is a waste with properties that make it dangerous or potentially harmful to human health or the environment. The universe of hazardous wastes is large and diverse. Hazardous wastes can be liquids, solids, contained gases, or sludge. They can be the by-

17 products of manufacturing processes or simply discarded commercial products, like cleaning fluids or pesticides. All hazardous wastes are required to be treated and disposed off in the prescribed manner. The main objective is to promote safe management and use of hazardous substances including hazardous chemicals and hazardous wastes, in order to avoid damage to health and environment. Hazardous & E-Waste Management Type of Waste Colours of Bins Category Disposal Method Total Waste Used Oil Black with Label Hazardous Waste Waste shall be collected in leak proof containers at isolated place and then it will be given to approved vender of CPCB as per Hazardous Wastes (Management/ Handling/Transboundary Movement) Rules, lit/month E-waste Black with Label Hazardous Waste E-Waste (Management & Handling) Rules, Kg/month Battery waste will be generated from inverters & UPS, which shall be treated as per the Batteries (Management & Handling) Rule, POWER REQUIREMENT: SOURCE: The total electric load after expansion for the Mall will be 14 MVA which will be sourced through Paschimanchal Vidyut Vitran Nigam Ltd BACK-UP: In case of power failure, power backup will be provided through DG sets 9X2000 KVA and 2X1010 KVA with proper stack height & will be kept in acoustically enclosed room. 3.7 REHABILITATION AND RESETTLEMENT (R&R) PLAN: Details on Project Affected person: The development of this project will not cause or need rehabilitation of the people. 3.8 PROJECT SCHEDULE & COST ESTIMATION: Likely date of start of construction and date of completion: Construction shall be completed within months after getting environmental clearance.
