3 PREFACE The infrastructure development in India & Gujarat has remarkably increased in recent years. Industrial development & urban development has found to be on its appreciable level, which has significantly contributed to our country s economy & revenue. Such development has also resulted in development of supporting infrastructures like road, ports, water & sanitation, etc. Especially in Gujarat state, the development in marine infrastructure has noticeably increased mainly because of availability of largest coastal area favourable for marine infrastructures & projects. PCBL, a part of USD 2,500 million (or 2.5 billion) RP-Sanjiv Goenka Group, has a business of USD 500 million and four strategically located state-of-the-art Carbon Black plants at Durgapur, Palej, Cochin and Mundra. PCBL today is India's largest and globally seventh largest carbon black producer. Set up in collaboration with a US company Phillips Petroleum, PCBL started production in 1962 with 14,000 metric tonnes (MT) of carbon black at Durgapur. Currently, it has a production capacity of 4,72,000 MT per annum in India, and involves a dedicated capacity of Specialty Blacks of 40,000 MT per annum at Palej. PCBL provides a complete portfolio of products to meet the specific end requirements across Rubber, Plastics, Coatings, Inks and other niche industries globally. The Company has been continuously reinventing itself in order to make the best in class products. Additionally, PCBL's after sales service and strong technical support ensures a fiercely loyal base of customers from around the world. PCBL has etched its global footprints and has a market presence in more than 30 nations with decanting stations, warehouses located near customer locations. A few of the Company's prized customers are CEAT, MRF, Michelin, Yokohama, Birla Tyres, Goodyear, Sumitomo Tires, Bridgestone, Kumho Tires, etc. PCBL has redefined its business by establishing captive power plants at each factory from the off-gas or waste product from the carbon black manufacturing process thus creating a sustainable green movement. The gas, a by-product of carbon black production, is harnessed for generating electricity at the Company's Captive Power Plants (CPP), at Palej, Durgapur, Mundra and Kochi. That is why PCBL is the first carbon black company in the world to receive carbon credits. The Company has heavily cut down on carbon and gas emission, and serves green power to Large Private industrial units and State Electricity utilities. From the pioneer plant at Durgapur in the East to Kochi plant in the south, Palej and Mundra plants in the west - PCBL footprint spans across India. Wherever PCBL goes, the Company becomes an integral part of the social eco-system. PCBL's more than 50 years' journey to be the cleanest carbon black company is the result of meticulous planning and committed execution.

4 Largest Producer of Carbon Black in India and 7 th largest in World Manufactures all grades for tyre industry Supplies to leading Tyre companies across globe Capacity of 4,70,000 MTPA across India - Durgapur, Kochi, Palej & Mundra Captive Power Plant at each location producing power from waste gas, current power capacity of 76 MW.

56 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. 2.2 PRODUCT DETAILS M/s. Phillips Carbon Black Limited has proposed to expand manufacturing of Carbon black (10950 MT/Month to MT/Month) and Co-Generation Power Plant (22 MW to 32 MW). The proposed expansion project is located at Survey No. 47, SH-46, Village: Mokha, Taluka: Mundra, Dist: Kutchh. The Company has hence applied for expansion for following products as mentioned in Table 2-1. SR. NO. PRODUCT NAME 1 Carbon Black 2 Co-generation Power (waste gas base) EXISTING CAPACITY (MT/MONTH) ADDITIONAL CAPACITY (MT/MONTH) 10,950 Phase I: 2,400 Phase II: 2, MW Phase I: 2 MW Phase II: 8 MW TOTAL CAPACITY (MT/MONTH) Phase I: 13,350 Phase II: 15,750 Phase I: 24 MW Phase II: 32 MW 2.3 MANUFACTURING ACTIVITIES Manufacturing activities proposed in the project include various processes as a part of manufacturing Carbon Black and Co-generation Power. The activities shall also include operation of various utilities. The manufacturing process is described in details in following sections. Manufacturing Process Details CARBON BLACK is manufactured from highly aromatic hydrocarbon oils, which are thermally cracked at high temperature in specially designed reactor. The heat for this endothermic thermal cracking is supplied by either burning of partial Carbon Black feedstock oil or auxiliary fuel oil with process air inside the reactor itself or both. Carbon Black particles formed are recovered and converted into pellets for ease of storage, handling and transportation. The complete manufacturing process has following sections: Feedstock storage and pumping Reactor section Process Bag Collector section Pelletization and drying section Vapor Bag Collector section Conveying and storage section Packing and dispatch section Energy Conservation Section (CPP) EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 2-2

57 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. Utility section A brief description of each section is given below to understand the process in totality. Feedstock Storage And Pumping: Carbon Black feedstock / auxiliary fuel received from the refineries or from coal tar distillation units in road tankers are unloaded into the feedstock or auxiliary fuel storage tanks separately. Since the feedstock is quite viscous in nature, special type of pumps and steam heating of the fluid is required for ease of handling and pumping. Feedstock is stored in large CS fixed roof tanks and maintained at about o C. temp. in the tank through external steam heating or hot feedstock return from the plant. Feedstock or auxiliary fuel is supplied to the plant at high pressure through pumps suitable for handling high viscosity fluids. The feedstock is filtered through a line mesh strainers / filters to remove extraneous materials. Feedstock header pressure is maintained by automatic controls by means of suitable control valves and controlling stations. Reactor Section: Since various types of Carbon Black can be produced in the oil FURNACE BLACK PROCESS under varying reaction conditions, two different designs of rectors are employed for manufacturing of all grades of CB, which are required by rubber, plastic and pigment industries. HARD BLACK REACTORS are used to produce the following grades of Carbon Black conforming to ASTM Standards / Customer Specifications. N115 N121 N134 N220 N326 N330 N339 N375 P824 P1201 Etc All these grades of CB are used in the treads of tyres as these are highly abrasion resistant. EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 2-3

58 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. SOFT BLACK REACTORS are used to produce the following grades of Carbon Black conforming to ASTM Standards / Customer Specifications. N550 P435 N650 N660 N774 N762 N772 N765 Etc All these grades of CB are used in carcass of tyres and for making tubes etc. Preheated feedstock of about o C. is finally atomized and sprayed inside the reactor through specially designed nozzles made of special material. The reaction chamber which is lined with high temperature special refractory is at a temp. of approx o C o C. at a pressure of 0.5kg./sq.cm. Burning of auxiliary fuel and partial burning of feedstock oil in case of HB reactor in presence of air inside the reactor raise the temp. to oo C and provide the endothermic heat for thermal cracking reaction. The reaction products moving at very high velocities are quenched with water sprays at predetermined locations inside the reactor to about 900 to 1100 o C. Sufficient length of refractory lined tunnel downstream of the reactors is provided for complete vaporization of quench water. Energy from this hot stream is recovered by heat transfer from gases laden with carbon black particles to cold air in a specially designed air pre heater. The hot air at o C. is used in the reactor thereby making substantial savings in the fuel requirements in the reactor operation. Feedstock oil is heated in SS heat exchangers for raising its temp. to degree centigrade for better atomization and hence increasing the process efficiency. Product gases laden with Carbon Black particles (now hereafter referred as smoke) are cooled down to degree centigrade in a SS ventury cooler and they enter the PBC section for separation of Carbon Black from gaseous products (a mixture of CO, CO2, CH4, C2H2, N2, H2, Air and water vapors). Process Bag Collector Section: Process Bag Collector is Pulse Jet Filter and comprises of number of modular compartments. Compartments are housed with very special type of filter bags made of fiber glass / Huyglass / membrane EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 2-4

59 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. coated fiber glass. The bags have only top opening and are fixed securely to the cell plate along with venturi. Smoke coming from reactor section at o C. enters the process bag collectors, CB particles are deposited outside the bags and Clean gas filters off and goes to off gas header. Cleaning of filter bag is done by high pressure air pulse. The deposited CB particles out side the filter bags drop down into the hopper. CB material collected in hoppers is conveyed through pneumatic conveying fans and Dense Bag Collector to a surge tank for pelletizing and drying section. Before conveying, the material passes through a micro pulverizer, which crushes some hard carbonaceous particles to 325 mesh. Off gases collected in the off gas header are sent to pelleting and drying section and energy conservation section for their 100% utilization and thus eliminate the risk of atmospheric pollution. Pelletizing and Drying Section: Carbon Black material collected in a large SS316 L surge tank is sent to a pelletizer at a constant rate through a variable speed rotary valve where it is mixed with water and molasses solution to form strong wet pellets. Pelletizer is specially designed equipment and is equipped with a rotating shaft fixed with sharp edge pins in a double / triple helix configuration. The close gap between the pins and the inner smooth surface of pelletizer accompanied by the conveying and rotating action of pins converts the mixture of CB particles and water in to wet and strong spherical pellets. These wet pellets are fed into a long rotary SS dryer. Pellets are dried inside the hot rotating dryer by slow tumbling, agitating and falling action without damaging the pellets. Dryer shell is enclosed in a refractory / Ceramic lined box all along its length and the heat is supplied by burning of off gases received from the PBC section in a specially designed refractory lined combustion furnace. Dry pellets with moisture less than 0.5% exit at the other end of the dryer for storage in the silos. Modern techniques and reliable electronic instruments are used in this section to give a dried pelleted product of consistent quality at all times and make the process smooth and efficient. Vapor Bag Collector Section: Water evaporated due to drying of wet pellets in the dryer along with some powdered material is removed by a Vapor Fan at the feed end of the dryer. These hot gases are sent to a cylindrical bag filter house called Vapor Bag Collector to remove and collect the CB particles and let out into the atmosphere very clean, purge gases. Vapor Bag Collector is also equipped with special bags for filtration of CB particles. EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 2-5

60 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. Carbon Black collected in the conical hopper is fed to the conveying line which gets mixed with the main stream. Conveying and Storage Section: Dried pellets coming out at the exit end of the dryer are fed into a bucket elevator made of SS buckets to carry the material to the top of the silos. The material can be fed into any of the silos via SS screw conveyors located on the top of silos. These silos are made of MS but epoxy / SS lined from inside to prevent contamination of product during storage. Packing & Dispatch Section: Material stored in the silos is packed in 25kg. paper bags / Bulk Bags through automatic packing machines. The portable packing machines can be connected to any of the storage silos. Fully automatic packing machine along with the moving roller conveyors and bag shapers make the handling of paper bags very fast, convenient and clean. Packed bags are stacked on wooden pellets in warehouse for storage and subsequent dispatch in trucks to the consumers. Energy Conservation Section: Low Btu off gases generated in the manufacturing process of CB in the reactor section and separated from accompanying CB particles in PBC section are collected in the off gas header. In spite of their low calorific value, these gases can be utilized to recover their calorific value in a specially designed boiler system to generate high pressure steam and in a specially designed dryer combustor furnace to supply the heat energy requirements in the pelletizing and drying section. The quantum of high pressure steam which can be generated through burning of these off gases meets the plant requirement of steam and power. Excess power generated is sent to the Grid. So the benefit of above scheme is being fully taken care of by installing the following system: 1. High pressure boiler system 2. Turbo Generators 3. Power Export High pressure boiler which can be run on a combination of off gases and fuel oil or Off gas alone generates high pressure super heated steam at 85 kg./sq.cm. This high-pressure steam is used to generate sufficient power required for plant consumption through turbo generator system and excess power is sent to the Grid. The scheme also helps in eliminating the EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 2-6

83 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED CHAPTER 3: BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL STATUS The baseline status of environmental quality in the vicinity of project site serves as the basis for identification, prediction and evaluation of impacts. The baseline environmental quality is assessed through field studies within the impact zone for various components of the environment viz. air, noise, water, land and socio-economic. The baseline environmental quality has been assessed in the Post Monsoon season (October, 2016 to December, 2016) in a study area of 10 km radial distance from the project site. Knowledge of baseline environmental status of the study area is useful for Impact Assessment-Process of assessing and predicting the environmental consequences of the significant actions. Significant action depicts direct adverse changes caused by the action and its effect on the health of the biota including flora, fauna and human being, socioeconomic conditions, current use of land and resources, physical and cultural heritage properties and biophysical surroundings. Baseline data generation of the following environmental attributes is essential in EIA studies. 1. Meteorology 2. Ambient Air Quality 3. Ambient Noise Quality 4. Surface and Ground water Quality 5. Soil Quality & Geological Features 6. Land use pattern 7. Socio-economic status survey

84 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED 3.1 ESTABLISHMENT OF IMPACT ZONE Deciding whether a proposed action is likely to cause significant adverse environmental effects is central to the concept and practice of EIA. Before proceeding for baseline data generation, it is important to know the boundary limits and framework, so that the data generated can be effectively utilized for impact assessment. In this context, delineate of impact zone plays an important role. Generally the impact zone for industrial actions is classified into three parts; Core Zone, buffer Zone and Unaffected Zone, as illustrated below. The area of impact zone invariably changes from project to project and depends on the nature and magnitude of activities. Core Zone (Host and Proximate Area where the proposed activities is completed)- This area is closest to the activity where the background quality of environmental and human health is always at high risk. This involves risks due to steady state, transient and accidental release of pollutants, noise, increased traffic congestion and social stress. The immediate vicinity of the plant that is around 3 km radius is factual core zone in this case. Buffer zone (Moderately affected area)- Being a little away from the activity, the discharge pollutants need time lag to be transported to this area and gets attenuated/diluted to a considerable extent. However, the associated risk shall be real during brake-down, failure or upset conditions, and simultaneously with adverse meteorological and hydrological factors. Distance from 3 km to 7 km around the project site in the factual buffer zone in this case. This is based on the mathematical modeling study and air pollution dispersion pattern. Unaffected Zone- This area shall not be at risk of serious damage to life, health and property. Here the impact becomes small enough to become imperceptible and/or inconsequent and/or insignificant and normal life activities shall prevail without any disturbances due to the activity. Distance away from the 7 km buffer zone is the factually unaffected zone in this case. While generating the baseline status of physical and biological environmental of the study area, the concept of impact zone has been considered. The Impact zone selection is based on

85 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED preliminary screening and modeling studies. For demography and socio-economics, block wise data has been collected and used for the assessment of impacts. 3.2 METEOROLOGY Air borne pollutants is dispersed by atmosphere motion. Knowledge of these motions, which range is scale from turbulent diffusion to long-range transport by weather systems, is essential to simulate such dispersion and quality of impacts of air pollution on the environment. The purpose of EIA is to determine whether average concentrations are likely to encounter at fixed locations (Know as the receptor), due to the given sources (locations and rates of emission known), under idealized atmospheric conditions. It is imperative that one should work with idealized condition and all analysis pertaining to air turbulence and ambient air or noise pollution should be done with meteorological conditions, which can at best be, expected to occur. The details of measurement technique, instruments, specification of measurement standards and accuracy of instruments are adopted from the Indian Standard: Guideline for micrometeorological technique in Air Pollution Studies. Care is taken to install the anemometer within a distance of six times the height of nearest vertical terrain elements (house, trees etc.) and height of 10 m from the average ground level of the fetch area. 3.3 MICRO-METEOROLOGY OF THE AREA The climate of Gujarat is varied, as it is moist in the southern districts and dry in the northern region. The Arabian Sea and the Gulf of Cambay in the west and the forest-covered hills in the east soften the rigours of climatic extremes, consequently reducing the temperature and render the climate more pleasant and healthy. Bharuch lies along the southern part of the state and experiences a climate with aridity index of 15 to 20 per cent indicating adequate moisture availability in the soils for most part of the year.

93 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED 3.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT DESIGN OF NETWORK FOR AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING LOCATIONS The air quality status in the impact zone is assessed through a network of ambient air quality monitoring locations. The tropical climatic conditions mainly control the transport and dispersion of air pollutant emissions during various seasons. The baseline studies for air environment include identification of specific air pollutants prior to implement of the project. The Terms of Reference (TOR) requires monitoring of baseline air quality during one season. Accordingly, air quality monitoring was carried out in the season from October, 2016 to December, The baseline status of the air environment is assessed through a systematic air quality surveillance program, which is planned based on the following criteria: Topography / terrain of the study area Regional synoptic scale climatologically normal Densely populated areas within the region Location of surrounding industries Representation of regional background Representation of valid cross-sectional distribution in downwind direction RECONNAISSANCE Reconnaissance was undertaken to establish the baseline status of air environment in the study region. Eight Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) locations were selected based on guidelines of network sitting criteria. All AAQM locations were selected within the study area of 10 km radial distance from the project site.

94 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED METHODOLOGY FOR AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS).

117 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED 3.8 GEOLOGICAL DATA The kachchh district in the north-west Gujarat, bordering Pakistan, covers an area of 45,612 km2. There are 9 Talukas in the kachchh district-bhuj, Mandvi, Mundra, Anjar, Bhachau, Rapar, Nakhatrana, Abdasa & Lakhpat. The kachchh district has approximately 352 kms long coastline with nine ports & several creeks. Physiographically, the district is divided into four major parts. In the south lies a low, fertile & well-cultivated plain. To the north of this plain, occur hill ranges of Kachchh, Vagad & the Rann elevations. In kachchh proper Dhinodhar peak was a legendary volcano. Southwest of pachchham lies an extensive low lying tract of Banni plain. The Rann of Kachchh in the north is a salt flat divided in to the Great Rann (to the north) & the Little Rann (to the east).the central part of the Kachchh district forms a watershed for the north & south flowing non-perennial rivers. The annual rainfall & temperature ranges between 200 to 500 mm & 1 to C, respectively. Geological Map of Kutch (Source: Geological Survey of India, Modified after DRM, GSI)

118 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED The Kachchh district comprises litho units of the Mesozoic sediments; the Deccan Volcanic; the Palaeogene & Neogene sediments of Tertiary age & the Quaternary sediments. The Mesozoic sediments, represented by the Pachchham, the Chari, the Ketrol & the Bhuj Formations, comprise mainly conglomerate, sandstone, shale, siltstone, clay, limestone, marl etc. Various vertebrate, including dinosaurian remains (near Ler & Anjar) & foot prints (near Fategarh) & invertebrate fauna & flora of Gondwana affinity are present in these sediments. Alkaline intrusive, basaltic flow, basaltic/doleritic & olivine gabbro intrusive & andesitic trachyte represent the Deccan Volcanic. The basaltic flows are also associated with intratrappean horizons containing dinosaurian remains. The Deccan Volcanics unconfirmably overlain by the lateritic horizons of the Matanomadh formation & the sedimentary rocks belonging to the Kakdinadi, the Fulra, the Maniyara Fort, the Khari Nadi, the Gaj & the Sandhan Formations. These sediments are fossiliferous & include limestone, shale, siltstone, marl, sandstone, conglomerate, etc. The Pleistocene sediments include coarse clastics of the Kothara Formation & Predominantly calcareous rocks of the Miliolite Formation. The youngest sediments belong to the Holocene period & are represented by the Rann Clay & Mahuva Formation (marine ); Rann Formation (fluvio-marine); Katrol & Varahi Formations (fluvial) ; & Jantral Formation (aeolian). The area is earthquake prone & many epicenters are located. Major part of district lies in very high-risk zone of seismicity, while a comparatively smaller part in the east lies in high-risk zone of seismicity. In the Kachchh basin the overall Bouger Gravity Anomaly is high. The fault & lineaments are mainly aligned parallel/sub-parallel to the major tectonic grains. Two hot springs near Khurr & Warna are also present. Ground water prospects are good in the alluvial fan, valley fill, Pedi plain & piedmont zones of geomorphologically domains.

119 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED Geomorphology of Kutch Region: Geomorphologically, Kutch (Kachchh) is categorized into four major E-W trending zones. They are categorized as 1. Coastal Zone - demarcating the southern fringe 2. Kutch Mainland - divided the central portion comprising rocky upland, northern hill range and coastal plains 3. Banni Plains - marked by raised fluviomarine sediments, med flat and salt pans 4. Rann of Kutch - found in North and Little Rann in East comprising vast saline wasteland. The boundaries of these main geomorphic region zones are bounded by the major E-W trending faults. Geomorphology & Geohydrology Map of Kutch (Source: Modified after ISRO & CGW) The Kutch landscape comprises an array of tectonogenic geomorphic elements in the form of uplifts and residual depressions Elevated landforms are occupied by Mesozoic and Tertiary rocks, whereas the residual depressions or low-lying regions between the uplifts consist of Quaternary sediment successions marked alluvial river terraces in the rocky mainland and the mud-flats and salt pans in the Great and Little Rann and Banni Plains.

INTRODUCTION: Remote sensing data provides reliable accurate baseline information for land use and Land cover mapping. Land use/land cover mapping both by visual interpretation and digital automated analysis is possible by satellite remote sensing techniques. The land use/land cover categories can be divided into different levels in order to make it more responsive to the information the user needs. The classification system facilitates environment experts to study the spatial difference and distinction between various lands types, from multi temporal satellite data. DATA SETS: Geocoded False Colour Composite scene of IRS-IC LISS III along with Survey of India (SOI) Top sheets. Freely available datasets has also been considered for the same purposes depending on the scale and requirements of the project like Landsat TM maps and Images from Google earth of particular year. The datasets used in project are categorised into primary and ancillary types. This is principally in recognition of the types of land use information each provides. Primary datasets (Satellite Image) are fundamental and essential components in the landuse mapping process and contain information mainly regarding landuse such as agriculture Cultivated or uncultivated lands. Ancillary datasets contain useful information on smaller scale land use such as reserved forests, protected areas, urban and other types which can been procured from different government departments. STUDY AREA: A 10 km buffer area from the project site as per the EIA requirements has been taken into consideration.

125 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED 3.11 GROUND WATER HYDROLOGY METHODOLOGY For the proposed study the approach and methodology adopted, and various equipments and instruments used are discussed below. Flow chart showing methodology adopted for the study

126 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED Data collection: During study the data collection process was divided into i) Primary Data Collection and ii) Secondary Data Collection. Primary Data Collection was done in the field, while secondary data was collected from previous works such as published and unpublished reports and maps, etc. i) Primary Data Collection During study various primary data such as groundwater level in various wells, measurement of ph and TDS of the water samples, geological and geophysical data, etc. were obtained during the fieldwork. Various methods and materials used during the fieldwork are discussed below Materials and Methods: Groundwater level Measurements To detect fluctuations in the groundwater table, groundwater levels in the tube wells and dug wells were measured. The measurement of groundwater level was done with the help of Water level Indicator. Its mechanism works on the principle of sensing when the sensor comes in contact with water. Simultaneously an odometer is present within the instrument which helps us to know about the depth in m. Equipment: Water Level Indicator with a Sound sensor

127 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LIMITED Global Positioning System (GPS):Global Positioning System (GPS) is a satellite based navigational system. GPS calculates the position of a certain spot by registering pulses from satellites. GPS was used to give co-ordinates of wells, existing structures and other important features. The position format was lat/log and 3D position accuracy was used. Equipment: Garmin etrex 10 i) Secondary Data Collection The secondary data taken from other agencies like Government Census Department and Groundwater Department. We have collected secondary data from various other sources too, e.g. Geological Survey of India (GSI) Processing of field data: For processing the field data various software were used. Surfer 8 was used to make the maps and graphs. Use of Google Earth imageries was also done. Surfer is a computer program from Golden Software Inc., Colorado, USA, which creates contour maps or surface plots. Input data in Surfer were irregularly spaced XYZ data from the fieldwork for e.g. GPS points and TDS values. These data were interpolated onto a grid file. From the grid file contour maps and surface plots were produced Chemical Analysis: Chemical analysis of water is very important for knowing its TDS (Total Dissolve Solids), acidity & alkalinity (ph). Chemical analysis of groundwater and surface water reveals us whether groundwater/surface water is suitable drinking purpose, irrigation purpose and domestic purpose Geo Hydrology Geologically the area forms part of the Kachchh basin and the study area is a near to the Gulf of Kutch which one of the rare ecological zones in the world having rich bio-diversity. It comprises of mangroves, coral reefs, mudflats, seaweeds, commercial fishes and several rare marine species. The mangroves of Kutch are the second largest after the Sunderbans in the mainland of India. A prominent feature of the Kutch Coast is the vast intertidal zone comprising a network of creeks, estuaries and mudflats. The Kutch coast provides conducive

145 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS & MITIGATION MEASURES 4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS Various sources of pollution with respect to wastewater, the flue gas / process emission, hazardous waste and noise generation along with their qualitative and quantitative analysis as well as measures taken to control them are discussed herein with details. The network method was adopted to identify potential impact, which involves understanding of causecondition-effect relationship between an activity and environmental parameters. This method involves the "road map" type of approach to the identification of second and third order effect. The basic idea is to account for the project activity and identify the type of impact that could initially occur followed by the identification of secondary and tertiary impacts. EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-1

146 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. 4.2 EVALUATION AND PREDICTIONS OF IMPACTS ON ENVIRONMENT An impact can be defined as any change in physical, chemical, biological, cultural and/or socioeconomic environment that can be attributed to activities related to alternatives under study for meeting the project needs. Impact methodology provides an organized approach for prediction and assessing these impacts. Scientific techniques and methodologies based on mathematical modeling are available for studying impacts of various project activities on environmental parameters. The nature of the impacts due to said project activities are discussed here in detail. Each parameters identified in the proceeding chapter, is singularly considered for the anticipated impact due to various activities listed. The impact is quantified using numerical scores 0, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 in increasing order of activity. In order to assess the impact accurately, each parameter is discussed in detail covering the following: 1) Project activities likely to generate impact 2) Quantification and prediction of impact WATER ENVIRONMENT IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE Water requirement during construction phase will be mainly for domestic purpose and construction activities i.e. material preparation, sprinkling of water, etc. Waste water will be generated mainly from domestic usage and the same shall be disposed off through septic tank and soak pit arrangement. No waste water will be generated from the construction activities. Construction activities will be temporary & being a one-time activity. Hence, no negative impact has been envisaged on water quality due to the proposed expansion project IMPACT DURING OPERATION PHASE Water requirement will be met through GWIL water supply. Total water requirement will be 2029 m 3 /day (Fresh: 1690 m 3 /day + Recycled: 339 m 3 /day). The total wastewater generations will be 392 m 3 /day. 339 KL/Day wastewater from Cooling and chilling, boiler and washing will be EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-2

147 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. treated in ETP and treated effluent recycled back for cooling & chilling purpose and gardening. 53 m 3 /day Domestic wastewater generated shall be disposed through septic tank & soak pit. The major waste water generation during operation phase will be from cooling tower/chilling blow down, boiler blow down, washing and domestic purpose. The waste water shall be neutralized and given tertiary treatment in ETP and reused within the plant premises for cooling/chilling purpose and gardening. The project is zero discharge plant. No waste water generated will be disposed off outside the company premises. There will not major impact on water. EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-3

148 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD AIR ENVIRONMENT IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE Construction of the plant will be within the existing premises hence would not involve extensive land preparation & clearing. The major source of air pollution during construction phase will be fugitive emission due to Transportation activity. Dust may arise due to movement of dump trucks, construction equipment & other vehicles on unpaved roads & mixing and batching of aggregate for concrete preparation. These activities will likely to result in marginal increase in the levels of Particulate Matter, SO 2, NOx and CO. The impact will, however, be marginal temporary and manageable in nature. Proper maintenance of vehicles and construction equipment will help in controlling the gaseous emissions. Vehicle meeting PUC norms will be used to further control the gaseous emission. Water sprinkling on roads and construction site will prevent fugitive dust IMPACT DURING OPERATION PHASE The dispersion of pollutants in the atmosphere is a function of several meteorological parameters viz. temperature, wind speed and direction, mixing depths, inversion level, etc. A number of models have been developed for the prediction of pollutant concentration at any point from an emitting source. The Industrial Source Complex Short Term (ISCST3) dispersion model is a steady-state Gaussian plume model. It is most widely accepted for its interpretability. It gives reasonably correct values because this obeys the equation of continuity and it also takes care of diffusion, which is a random process. For the present study, this model is used for the prediction of maximum ground level concentration (GLC). The proposed air emissions at M/s. Phillips Carbon Black Ltd are PM, SO 2, NOx. The site specific and monitored details considered for input data for the software ISC-AERMOD View by Lakes Environmental, Canada for prediction of impact on air environment are given in Table 4.1. In order to conduct a refined air dispersion modeling using ISCST3 and ISC-PRIME short-term air quality dispersion models, the site specific hourly meteorological data measured at site is pre-processed using the U.S. EPA PCRAMMET and U.S. EPA AERMET programs. Before starting air dispersion modeling with ISC-AERMOD View, a building downwash analysis using BPIP View was done. BPIP View is a graphical user interface EIA Report prepared by: M/s. Aqua-Air Environmental Engineers Pvt. Ltd. 4-4

149 PHILLIPS CARBON BLACK LTD. designed to speed up the work involved in setting up input data for the U.S. EPA Building Profile Input Program (BPIP) and Building Profile Input Program Plume Rise Model Enhancements (BPIP-PRIME). The air pollution caused by the gaseous emissions from a single or small group of stacks is a local phenomenon. Its impacts will occur at a distance ranging from within the immediate vicinity of the stack to several kilometers away from the stack. Maximum ground level concentration will occur within this range. All plumes at more downwind distances from the source by stack emission become so diluted by diffusion in the ambient atmosphere, that concentrations of pollutants become negligible. The maximum ground level concentration for different parameters is given in Table 4.2. Isopleths for PM, SO 2, NOx are given in Figure 4.2. Adequate measures shall be taken to minimize air pollution by providing air pollution control equipment. Flue gases are discharged from stacks at adequate height (as per GPCB norms). The same will be done after proposed project. TABLE 4.1 DETAILS OF EMISSION FROM STACK SR. OPERATING UNIT SOURCE OF EMISSION NO. PARAMETER Stack Height Meter Stack Diameter Meter Flue Gas Velocity 4.
