1 9.0 ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN (EMP) 9.1 INTRODUCTION Environment Management Plan is required for ensuring sustainable development. It should not affect the surrounding environment adversely. The management plan presented in this chapter needs to be implemented by the proposed expansion of sugar and co-gen unit. The Environment Management Plan aims at controlling pollution at source with available and affordable technology followed by treatment measures. Waste minimization and waste recycling measures are emphasized. In addition to the Industry specific control measures, the proposed industry should adopt following guidelines. They are: Application of Low and Non Waste Technology in the production process; Adoption of reuse and recycling technologies to reduce generation of wastes and to optimize the production cost of the industry. The recycling and reuse of industrial waste not only reduces the waste generation but also can be an economic gain to the industry. Further, the management of the SSML will take all the necessary steps to control and mitigate the environmental pollution in the designing stage of the project. While implementing the project the management will follow guidelines issued by CPCB. The EMP is prepared based on the existing environmental status of the project location and the anticipated impacts of the project activities on environment. 9.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL: After approval of Environmental Clearance from the Ministry, the meeting of the management of M/s SSML shall be conducted in which the budgetary allocation for the EMP shall be discussed and finalized and comprehensive EMP shall be prepared as per the guidelines of CPCB. Environmental Cell consisting of Managing Director and departmental heads will be created for efficient management of the environmental activities in the industry. A separate environmental cell will be established to look after the Effluent Treatment Plant and to monitor and control the environmental quality. This cell would comprise of following members: - Sr. Table 9.1 Environmental Management cell Description Number of Working Person 1. Environmental Engineer 1 2. Environmental Chemist 2 3.

Environmental Chemist Collecting and analyzing the samples and developing remediation s programs. Safety Officer To develop and implement occupational health and safety policy, program and procedure To increase health and safety awareness at all levels within the organizations Members of the Environmental cell would be well qualified and experienced in the concerned fields. Some of the routine tests of wastewater such as ph, solids, temperature etc. will be carried out in the laboratory that would be established at the site. However, for additional tests of water, wastewater, soil, air etc., services of accreditated laboratories as well as that of a consultant would be hired. The capital as well as O & M cost towards environmental aspects under the proposed expansion activities would be as follows 258

4 9.4 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE Implementation schedule for the various mitigation measures proposed are listed below Air Pollution Control Measures Air pollution control measures involve installation of all control equipment in form of ESP replacing the wet scrubber. The details of stacks are given below Table 9.3 Details of source Source Fuel used Fuel Quantity Air Pollution Control Equipment Existing Unit 1. Boiler 75 TPH Bagasse 816 MT/D Adequate stack height Stack Height (above the ground level) Pollutants 65 M SPM, SO 2 Expansion Activities 1. Boiler 75 TPH Bagasse 816 MT/D Adequate stack height 2. D.

The domestic effluent of existing as well as proposed expansion activities shall be treated in proposed STP instead of Septic Tanks followed by soak pits. Storm water drains would be kept separate from other drains. Natural drains if found, would not be altered under any circumstances. No drains will be kept open in the plant Noise Control Measures Provision and use of earmuffs in High Noise Area. Providing separate sitting and control room for workers. Changing of shifts and exposure time to high Noise Area would be reduced Ecological preservation and up gradation Implementation of vegetative plantation with a time bound program. Greenbelt development along the periphery and along the roads of proposed unit. Maintenance of the proposed plantation with due care. 260

5 Sr Improvement of Socio-Economic Aspects The proposed unit will generate primary and secondary employment in the region. Programs related to health, hygiene and education will be arranged and workshops as well as seminars would be conducted in nearby localities so as to create public awareness. The Industry would always take lead in contributing towards community development activities as well as donating funds for the noble causes such as earthquake and flood relief operations etc Solid Waste Management Proper arrangements and planning of sale of the solid waste, of industrial unit. Ash shall be stored in silo and shall be transported to disposal site through covered vehicles. All the recommendations are to be implemented so as to improve the environmental condition as a whole. However, some of these recommendations would be implemented at the earlier and some at a later stage. Air pollution control equipment would be installed and ready for commissioning along with the industry. Noise control measures along with the earplugs and muffs would be kept ready for immediate supply to the workers. Tree plantation and green belt development would commence as soon as the land is taken in possession. This activity can be extended stage wise even after commissioning of the unit. Recommendations 1. Air Pollution Control (Stack of Co-gen Boiler) 2. Water Pollution Control (Execution of Sugar ETP) 3. Noise Control (Green belt development as well as isolation and Insulation) 4. Ecological aspects (Green belt development) 5. Solid waste Management (Compost yard) 6. Socio-economic aspects (Corporate Social Responsibility) Table No: 9.4 Implementation Schedule Time Period Before commissioning of the industry Before commissioning of the industry Before commissioning of the industry Implementation Schedule Immed iate Progres sive As per Time Schedule of Proposed Unit * - - * - - * - - Stage wise * * - Stage Wise - * - Stage wise - - * Note :- * indicates implementation of recommendations 261
