DAMAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT A. During Construction Phase The project activities have been confined within the project site only and so are most of the impacts. The project is situated on GIDC land which is approved for the use of residential purpose. Hence, land use pattern has not been changed due to this project. The land of the project with surroundings was flat land without any undulation. Hence, any significant land disturbances resulting in soil erosion, subsidence and instability were not occurred. Land/soil environment was affected temporarily due to activities like site preparation, excavation, material handling & storage etc. during construction phase. Proper storage of the construction materials as well as adequate drainage systems were provided to deal with the storm water in case of rain and to prevent any contamination. There is no natural watercourse or drainage passing through the project site. Hence the project does not involve alteration of natural drainage systems. All the trees present at the project site were peripheral to the site. Hence, for development of the project no tree was cut and no major disturbance to local ecology was occurred. The following precautions were taken during construction phase to control pollution. Page 2 of 8

3 a. Water Pollution: Sewage generated during construction phase was discharged into underground drainage line of GIDC. Wastewater generated due to washing and cleaning of construction equipment was collected and reused in concrete handling, mixing & curing. b. Air Pollution: Air pollution during construction activity was mainly due to dust generation and gaseous emission from vehicular movement. Below mentioned precautionary measures were taken to control air pollution. Peripheral barricading sheet of minimum 5 m heights to prevent dust emission spreading outside the project premises. Under construction building covered thoroughly with jute/green PVC cloth. Avoid vehicle trips carrying construction material during day time and peak hour Use Plastic cover sheet / tarpaulin while transporting raw material at site Store any dry, dusty materials in closed room/shed and prevented from blowing. Sprinkle water with fine spray nozzles in vulnerable areas to suppress the dust and control fugitive emissions generated due to transport and handling of construction material. Develop green belt from construction phase. c. Solid Waste: For construction of the project excavation was carried out for foundation of the buildings. Top soil was used for greenbelt development and other excavated soil was used at site for back filling& land leveling. The solid waste generated during construction activities was limited to project site only. These were segregated manually to remove non-reusable waste and reusable waste was reused for backfilling and road development within the site up to the maximum possible extent. The non-reusable waste was disposed of by sending at GIDC approved site. d. Noise Pollution: Noise generated from various construction activities. To control noise pollution following precautionary measures were taken; Page 3 of 8

4 Use of Machinery having highest standard and comply with national standard that take care of noise and vibration. Carry out oiling and lubrication of equipment Avoid unnecessary speeding of vehicles inside premises Noise level at 1 m from the different equipment were assured as below; Concrete Mixer Truck : db(a) Mobile Cranes : db(a) Hammering : db(a) Loader : db(a) Concluding the above mentioned facts it can be said that the project does not have any adverse impact on the surrounding environment. The impacts were confined mainly to project site and for short duration. B. During Operation Phase a. Water Pollution: Total water requirement for the project during operation phase is estimated to be 324 KLD. The water requirement is partially met by GIDC water supply and remaining need is fulfilled through the bore-well constructed at site. Sewage generation during operation phase is estimated to be 252 KLD. b. Air Pollution: Source of air pollution during operation phase is mainly domestic activities and vehicular movement. In this project DG set is not installed; hence, flue gas emission is not envisaged. Any other source of air pollution is not identified. c. Solid waste Generation: Total solid waste generation from project is estimated to be 1,157 kg/day from various domestic activities and horticulture activity. This solid waste contains recyclable and nonrecyclable waste. d. Noise Pollution: The only source of noise pollution during operation phase is vehicular movement due to influx of people which is very negligible. No other source is identified for noise pollution.

Water resource & WW management: The water requirement for operation phase is mainly met by GIDC water supply and remaining need is fulfilled through the bore-well constructed at site. Hence, there is no major thrust on ground water. Proper rain water drainage facility has been provided and rain water harvesting system is installed at project site. Total 8 nos. of percolation wells are installed within the premises to recharge the storm water. Sewage generated during operation phase is discharged into underground drainage line of GIDC. Hence, there is not any impact on surface water and ground water due to discharge of sewage. b. Air quality management: All operational vehicles will go through regular maintenance and pollution checkup. All the private vehicle owners will be asked to have updated PUC (Pollution under Control) certificate. To mitigate the air pollution, greenbelt is planned to develop in 2, sq. m. area out of total plot area. c. Solid waste management The residents are encouraged to segregate recyclable and non-recyclable solid waste at source. Recyclable wastes are sold to the scrap vendors by the residents. Door to door facility is available for collection of non-recyclable wastes. These wastes are sent to nearest collection point of GIDC, Ankleshwar. d. Noise and vibration management: Proper road network has been designed as per the prevailing guidelines for smooth operation of traffic; impact in noise level due to the operational traffic will be negligible. The landscape design along the periphery of the plot has been developed to achieve attenuation factor conforming to noise standards. Page 5 of 8

6 of Blocks of floor Total no. of extinguisher Residential Building Construction Project The open spaces inside the plot is suitably landscaped and covered with vegetation to reduce the impact of noise. e. Green area development management Greenbelt is planned to develop in 2, sq. m. area out of total plot area. Total 365 trees are planned to plant in the premises out of which 90 indigenous / local trees are planted all around the project site to reduce the impact of the air pollution. Remaining trees will be planted in near future. Planting of trees are undertaken in appropriate encircling rows. It is tolerant to air pollutants present in the area mainly dust pollution. It is being able to grow and thrive on soil of areas, be evergreen in habitat having minimum of leaf fall. f. Fire and safety management The project is low rise residential building comprises of flats and firefighting system as per the NBC guideline for low rise building will be provided. Hose-reel and Portable fire extinguishers like DCP (Dry chemical powder) & CO2 type extinguisher etc. will be provided on alternate floor of each building as per NBC guidelines.
