37 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 27 of DESCRIPTION OF THE ENVIRONMENT 3.1 Development of Environment Baseline (a) The Objective The Description of Existing Environment for the proposed project facilities will describe the existing environmental conditions in and around the project sites (baseline environmental status). It identifies the environmental parameters that are consequent to the proposed facilities and the impact on these parameters due to the proposed project. Environment Management Plan (EMP), thus, prepared includes the general background of the project like process details, facilities description, details of major utility systems and special care, which needs to be taken during design/ construction/ operation stage for mitigating environmental impacts. The environmental parameters that has been covered include air quality, water quality, aquatic ecology, micrometeorology, noise levels, flora and fauna etc. in accordance with the guidelines of the Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India. Based on the project inputs, impact on the environmental parameters has been assessed using the standard methods. The existing environmental quality in the project area has been assessed based on current available data. Wherever data was not available, in order to make fair assessment, actual monitoring in the field have been carried out. The potential sources of pollution owing to the project facilities have been identified and anticipated pollution load has been quantified. The potential environmental impacts have been identified and assessed qualitatively as well as quantitatively and possible changes in the quality of the environment have been predicted. A study on wildlife and flora-fauna has been taken up in and around the project site. An Environmental Management Plan has been drawn up to maintain and enhance the environmental quality around the project sites. The pollution control strategies have been suggested wherever the deterioration of environmental quality is expected. A green-belt/ greenery development plan for the stations has been provided that would enhance the quality of the environment besides attenuating environmental pollution. A post-project monitoring plan (PPMP) has been suggested to monitor the changes in the environmental quality after the implementation of the project.

54 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 44 of Air Pollution Dispersion Modeling The ISC short term model for stacks has been used for Air Pollution Dispersion Modeling. It uses the steady-state Gaussian plume equation for a continuous elevated source. For each source and each hour, the origin of the source's coordinate system is placed at the ground surface at the base of the stack. The x axis is positive in the downwind direction, the y axis is crosswind (normal) to the x axis and the z axis extends vertically. The fixed receptor locations are converted to each source's coordinate system for each hourly concentration calculation. The calculation of the downwind and crosswind distances is described in. The hourly concentrations calculated for each source at each receptor are summed to obtain the total concentration produced at each receptor by the combined source emissions. For a steady-state Gaussian plume, the hourly concentration at downwind distance x (meters) and crosswind distance y (meters) is given by: Where: Q = pollutant emission rate (mass per unit time) K = a scaling coefficient to convert calculated concentrations to desired units (default value of 1 x 10 6 for Q in g/s and concentration in µg/m 3 ) V = vertical term D = decay term F y,f z = standard deviation of lateral and vertical concentration distribution (m) The vertical term includes the effects of source elevation, receptor elevation, plume rise, limited mixing in the vertical, and the gravitational settling and dry deposition of particulates (with diameters greater than about 0.1 microns). Downwind and Crosswind Distances The ISC model uses either a polar or a Cartesian receptor network as specified by the user. The model allows for the use of both types of receptors and for multiple networks in a single run. All receptor points are converted to Cartesian (X,Y) coordinates prior to performing the dispersion calculations. In the polar coordinate system, the radial coordinate of the point (r, 2) is measured from the user-specified origin and the angular coordinate 2 is measured clockwise from the north. In the Cartesian coordinate system, the X axis is positive to the east of the user-specified origin and the Y axis is positive to the north. For either type of receptor network, the user must define the location of each source with respect to the origin of the grid using Cartesian coordinates. In the polar coordinate system, assuming the origin is at X = X o, Y = Y o, the X and

The downwind distance is used in calculating the distance-dependent plume rise and the dispersion parameters. If any receptor is located within 1 meter of a point source or within 1 meter of the effective radius of a volume source, a warning message is printed and no concentrations are calculated for the sourcereceptor combination. The crosswind distance y to the receptor from the plume centerline is given by: Wind Speed Profile The wind power law is used to adjust the observed wind speed, u ref, from a reference measurement height, z ref, to the stack or release height, h s. The stack height wind speed, u s, is used in the Gaussian plume equation, and in the plume rise formulas. The power law equation is of the form: Where p is the wind profile exponent. Values of p may be provided by the user as a function of stability category and wind speed class. Default values are as follows: Stability Category Rural Exponent Urban Exponent A B C D E F The ISC models include algorithms to model volume, area and open-pit sources, in addition to point sources. These non-point source options of the ISC models are used to simulate the effects of emissions from a wide variety of industrial sources. In general, the ISC volume source model is used to simulate the effects of emissions from sources such as building roof monitors and line sources (for example, conveyor belts and rail lines). The ISC area source model is used to simulate the effects of fugitive emissions from sources such as storage piles and slag dumps.

65 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 55 of Meteorological Scenario Micro-meteorological data facilitates in identifying the major source(s) external to the project site that contributes to the local, sub-regional and regional degradation of air quality. Micrometeorological parameters have considerable impact on the behavior of air pollutants. The transport and diffusion of the pollutants in the atmosphere are chiefly governed by meteorological factors. These indicators not only govern dispersion, diffusion and transportation of air pollutants but are capable of altering the nature of air pollutants too. A study of the meteorological characteristics of the area including wind speed and direction, rainfall, temperature and humidity has been undertaken to assess the effect of pollution on both, the animate and inanimate, receptors. Micro-meteorological data, as has been recorded in concurrence with ambient air quality monitoring period, is summarized as under Climatic Conditions of Faridabad District Faridabad experiences a semi-arid climate, which is characterized by wide temperature variations and scanty and irregular rainfall. During summer, temperature may reach up to as high as 45 C, while in winter it drops to as low as 2 C. May and June are the hottest and driest months, when dust storms from the west prevail with high speed. The average annual rainfall recorded at the Faridabad rain gauge station is 845 mm as computed from the data of 1978 to Maximum rainfall occurs during July to September on account of the southeast monsoon. The number of actual rainy days varies between 7 and 22 in a year Micro-meteorological monitoring Data in the vicinity of Proposed Project Site Micro-meteorological data comprising of parameters like ambient air temperature, relative humidity, wind speed, wind direction, cloud cover etc. for the period Nov-2008 to Feb-2009 has been given in the annexure of this chapter. Micro-meteorological observation recorded from the analysis of yearly data can be summed up as: (a) Wind Velocity, Wind Direction and Windrose Summary Wind velocity and direction plays the significant role on the dispersion of air-borne pollutants and therefore, have significant impact on the air quality of the area. A wind rose gives a very succinct but information-laden view of how wind speed and direction are typically distributed at a particular location. Presented in a circular format, the wind rose shows the frequency of winds blowing from particular directions. The length of each spoke around the circle is related to the frequency of time that the wind blows from a particular direction. Each concentric circle represents a different frequency, emanating from zero at the center to increasing frequencies at the outer circles. The wind roses shown here contain additional information, in that each spoke is broken down into discrete frequency categories that show the percentage of time that winds blow from a particular direction and at certain speed ranges. All wind roses shown here use 16 cardinal directions, such as north (N), NNE, NE, etc. (i) Windrose summary of Nov-2008 Wind direction & wind velocity data analysis along with the windrose diagrams day-night (24- hourly) for the month of Nov-2008 has been illustrated below.

In order to assess the existing noise level, noise monitoring was undertaken at both the strategic locations in the study area Community Noise The ambient noise level is characterized by significant variations above a base called a Residual Noise Level, below which the ambient noise does not seem to drop during a given time interval and is generally caused by unidentified distant sources. It differs in rural and urban areas. At night, its level is low due to lesser elements of noise Noise Levels for Residential, Commercial, Industrial & Silence Zones Noise criteria values are designed to protect the general public from physiological impairment resulting from excessive levels of noise. The criteria include environmental noise exposure limits to protect the general public and to provide guidance for land use planning.

97 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 87 of Water Environment Water is one of the basic requirements for the development of any area and should be available in sufficient quantity for residential, commercial or industrial uses. The objective of water environment impact assessment is the evaluation of the nature and magnitude of changes in water environment indicators as a result of the existing/proposed projects. A very important concern relative to development of an area is the demand of water by the project & the resulting impacts on the quality of available supplies. It is, therefore, obvious that establishment or expansion of any project may result in the affliction of the water resources of the area. The extent to which surface and ground water resources can be impacted in terms of quantity and quality depends upon the total water requirements by the project, i.e. quantity and quality of existing water resources and quantity and quality of effluent discharge by the new project. Development of new project also increases the competitiveness of water uses for domestic, agricultural and industrial purposes. Therefore, study of water environment is very significant for preparation of the environment management plan before the expansion of any new installation/expansion of a project. It includes the study of natural environment of existing water scenario and prediction of likely impacts on it due to the upcoming installation / expansion of any project. In order to assess the availability & adequacy of water in terms of its quantity and quality, geo-hydrological data of the area needs to be analyzed Water Resources in the Project Area (a) Ground water availability in Faridabad District Ground water resources accumulated water below the ground surface, caused by rainfall and its subsequent percolation through pores and crevices. Percolated water accumulates till it reaches the impervious strata comprising of confined clay or confirmed rocks. Water quantity in Faridabad region is illustrated in table-3.5 (a) & (b), which indicates groundwater potential, stages of groundwater exploitation and annual natural recharge rate.

It is higher near Agra Canal. Potable water is available only at 70 to 80 m depth. The drawdown in water table is 10 to 12 m. The safe yield from tubewell can be estimated as to litres per hour. Keeping in view of above facts, it is essential to find out some external source to meet the water requirement. Agra canal, which flows nearby, contains highly polluted water and is not suitable for use. River Yamuna flowing on eastern side, also contains the contaminated water and is not suitable. The other source available is ground water in the sandy banks of river Yamuna. Radial collector wells which are more commonly known as Ranney wells, are found suitable at certain places to meet the water requirement in Faridabad town & Mewat area. Some tubewells have also been drilled along bank of river Yamuna. Basically source generation and providing bulk water supply, to be carried out under the External Development Head out of EDC funds. Accordingly, it is proposed to generate only 40% of the water from the local ground water source by drilling tubewells of appropriate size, depth and location based on the geo-hydrological survey. Balance 60% demand of water would be met from external source i.e From Radial Collector Wells (Ranney wells) By drilling battery of tubewells in river Yamuna bed

99 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 89 of Water Demand & Supply in the Project Area Water supply for the industrial township can be estimated based on the norms specified in the Manual for Water Supply published by the Ministry of Urban Development, Government of India. (a) Water demand for area under industries The industrial area, where different type of industries are to come up, has the varying water demand. Accordingly, the industries have been divided in two major groups: (i) Normal/ small industries with no specific demand of water for processing may require 45 lpcd. The employment may be to the extent of 250 PPA i.e 250 x 45 (lpcd) x 1.15 (unaccounted) = litres per acre in 60 % of the plotted area ( acres). (ii) In case of industries, where water is required for processing, the demand may vary to the larger extent. However, considering the average demand of such units as litres per acre in 40% of the plotted area. Thus, the average water demand would be : x x 0.6 = litre per acre. Hence the average water requirement for industrial area would litre per acre. (b) Water demand for area under group housing The norms adopted are 150 lpcd for population density of 250 PPA + 20% + 15% (unaccounted); 150 lpcd x 250 x 1.2 x 1.15 = litres (say litres/ acre). (c) Water demand for Institutions The institutional demand also varies from 70 lpcd to 450 lpcd as per the Manual of Water Supply. Taking the average demand of 150 lpcd with a population density of 100 PPA ± 20% + 15% (unaccounted); 150 lpcd x 100 x 1.2 x 1.15 = litres (say litres/ acre) (d) Water demand for other land uses Water requirement for Commercial area has been taken as litres/ acre. Water requirement for green area is taken as litres/ acre. Water requirement for public utilities & public buildings is taken as litres/ acre. Water requirement for area under multi level parking is taken as litres/ acre. Water requirement for area under idle parking, roads & open spaces is taken as litres/ acre. Water requirement for the area to be planned later has been taken as litres/ acre. Water requirement for area yet to be acquired is taken as litres/ acre. Fire fighting demand has been taken as litres/ 100 ha (e) Zoning of area & water demand The zoning of proposed industrial estate for the purpose of water supply has been given in table- 3.5 (c) and is comprised of Zone-1 ( acres), Zone-2 ( acres) and Zone-3 ( acres). The zone wise estimate of daily water demand has been given in table-3.5 (d), which indicates 9539 KLD for Zone-1, KLD for Zone-2 and KLD for Zone-3.

(g) Design of water supply network for proposed project It is proposed to generate only 40% of water from the local ground water source by drilling 25 Nos. tube wells of appropriate size, depth and location based on geo-hydrological survey. Demand to be met through local tubewells = KLD Net demand to be met from external sources like Ranney wells and Battery of tubewells from Yamuna river bed : = KLD.

102 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 92 of 210 Keeping in view of above facts it would be essential that external sources to be found out to meet water requirement. The other sources available would be ground water in the sandy bank of river Yamuna. Radial collector wells which are more commonly known as Ranney wells are more suitable to meet the water requirements. The source generation and providing bulk water supply has to be carried out under the External Development Head out of EDC funds (i) Design of Tubewells in the Project Site Area Water demand to be met through tubewells together with anticipated yield from one tubewell and hence number of tubewells to be required for proposed project, have been illustrated in table-3.5 (g). It is estimated that about KLD of water demand to be met through 25 Nos. of tubewells each having the yield of 480 KLD.

The strainer depth would be provided in m depth depending upon the strata. To avail maximum yield, it is recommended to provide V wires strainer of 0.75 mm c/c instead of conventional strainers. It s recommended to provide the gravel size mm size. (g) Specifications of Ranney wells Ranney wells are radial collector wells consisting of a round concrete shaft 5 to 6 m in diameter, unto the water bearing aquifer, having the horizontal drains at the bottom of the shaft which draws water into the shaft, wherefrom it is pumped out. This is an economical method for extracting large quantity of water from a single vertical shaft and has advantage over the conventional tubewell system.

103 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 93 of 210 (h) Distribution mains/ distribution network The entire development is divided into three water supply zones as shown in the layout plan. Decentralized system is proposed to facilitate the distribution to have optimum efficiency. Each zone will have independent water works with an underground storage in the shape of one No. of UGT and OHSR each of 500 KL capacity to work as a balancing reservoir. Water would be collected in each UGT through rising mains from internal tubewells as well as from Ranney wells and battery of tube wells. The capacity of the UGT would be of 8 hrs storage of respective distribution zone. There would be a separate distribution system for multistoried buildings and the low height buildings, so that the quality of service is not hampered and individual plot holders will get terminal head of 17 M and will not have to pump the water for over head storage. For multi storied buildings, the water would be supplied at the ground level into their UGT and then be pumped into over head tank. This would facilitate in economizing the power consumption. The system has been designed in such a way to have least number of crossings of the existing gas pipelines. The zone wise water demand and the capacity of UGT and OHSR are given in following table: Zone Table-3.5 (j) Water Requirement in KLD Zone wise water demand & capacity of UGT & OHSR Net Storage Proposed Storage requirement Requirement OHSR in UGT in in KLD in KLD KLD KLD Requirement of open area & green area in KLD Internal W/S I = II = III = Total External W/S 3200 UGT for Recycled Water 3200 The UGT are for approximately 8 hours storage requirement on each internal water works.

For present study, samples from selected water sources were collected as per following guidelines Grab water samples were collected from the water sources as described above. Prior to sampling, sample containers were rinsed thoroughly with the water of the source being sampled. Collected samples were preserved as per the established guidelines and transported to the laboratory within the maximum permissible time limits. Samples for microbiological analysis were collected in clean, sterile bottle & transported to laboratory within maximum permissible time limits. (ii) Water Analysis Water samples were analysed for following constituents adhering to drinking water standard IS: & MOEF guidelines for discharge of effluents on Inland Surface Water. - Physical parameters - Inorganic non-metallic constituents - Toxic metals - Mineral oil, phenolic compounds & Anionic detergents - Coliform bacteria, MPN/100 ml All reagents used in analytical work were of AR grade or higher purity. HPLC grade water was used for reagent preparation & blank correction. Guidelines of following protocols were followed for water analysis Standard Method for Examination of Water & Wastewater; APHA, AWWA, WEF; Ed.21 st, Indian Standard Specification of Sampling & Analysis of Water & Wastewater; IS: 3025 (Relevant Parts). Indian Standard Specification for Method of Microbiological Analysis of Water; IS: (b) Discussion on Water Quality Results Analytical results of all the samples, as illustrated in following tables, can be summed up as (i) Physical Characteristics (Colour, Odour, Turbidity & Dissolved Solids) Following inferences can be drawn from the analytical values

107 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 97 of 210 Samples collected from locations of ground water i.e GW-1 to GW-6, have no color as revealed by the value below 5 Hazen units. However, sample collected from surface water sources have higher intensity of colour. Pond water (SW-1) was having a colour of 10 Hazen Unit. Colour of Agra Canal water at Upstream and downstream has been found 75 and 10 Hazan Units respectively. Yamuna river water was having colour of 75 Hazen Units. Except in case of sample GW-6 (24 NTU turbidity), all other samples drawn from groundwater sources have the turbidity in range of 4-8 NTU. Desirable limit of turbidity as per IS: is 5 NTU, whereas permissible limit in the absence of alternate source is 10 NTU. In case of samples drawn from surface water sources, turbidity values ranged between NTU. Both colour & turbidity in water, if present above the prescribed normal values, have unaesthetic impact on the consumers. Consumer acceptance decreases, if water have high colour & turbidity levels. ph value was found in range of in all the samples, which is the acceptable ph range. Except in case of GW-6 (TDS value 3420 mg/l), all the other water samples drawn from groundwater sources, were found having the TDS values ranging between mg/l. In case of surface water samples, values of TDS have been found ranging between mg/l. Desirable limit for TDS as per IS: is 500 mg/l & permissible limit of same is 2000 mg/l in the absence of alternate sources. TDS in all the water sample is below extended limit of 2000mg/l. If the level of TDS exceeds the normal values, it may cause gastro intestinal irritation & beyond the prescribed limit, TDS in water may reduce palatability on prolonged consumption of water.

In case of surface water, calcium (as Ca) has been found varying between mg/l. Desirable limit of calcium in drinking water is 75 mg/l & permissible limit in the absence of alternate sources is 200 mg/l. Analysis results indicates that, calcium in all samples except GW-6 is found within the extended limit of calcium (i.e. 200mg/l) for drinking purpose in the absence of alternate source of water. Magnesium (as Mg) results varied in the range of mg/l in all ground water samples except in case of GW-6, in which it has been found 133 mg/l. In case of surface water,

108 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 98 of 210 magnesium (as Mg) has been found varying between mg/l. Desirable & permissible limits of Magnesium (as Mg) are 30 & 75 mg/l respectively. Higher concentration of calcium & magnesium in water may lead to encrustation in water supply structure and adverse effects on domestic use. Chlorides (as Cl) was found in range of mg/l in case of all the samples except in case of GW-6, in which it has been found 989 mg/l. In case of surface water, chloride has been found in range of mg/l. Desirable limit & permissible limits of same are 250 mg/l and 1000mg/l respectively. Beyond the permissible limits, taste, corrosion & palatability may be affected. Sulfate (as SO 4 ) was found in range of mg/l except in case of GW-6, in which it has been found 570 mg/l. In case of surface water, values of sulfates were found ranging between mg/l. Desirable limit & permissible limits of same are 200 mg/l and 400 mg/l respectively. Beyond the permissible limits, sulfate may cause gastro-intestinal irritation, when magnesium & sodium are also present. Desirable limit for Alkalinity as CaCO 3 in drinking water is 200 mg/l, whereas permissible limit in the absence of alternate sources is 600 mg/l. Analytical result indicates the values of alkalinity in range of mg/l in case of groundwater samples and ranging between mg/l in case of surface water samples. Beyond permissible limits of 100 mg/l, nitrate (as NO 3 ) may cause methaemoglobinemia. Analytical results suggests that nitrate in all the samples drawn from ground & surface water sources are found below the desirable limit of 45 mg/l except in case of GW-6, in which its value was found 110 mg/l.. Above permissible limit of 1.5 mg/l in drinking water, Fluoride may cause Fluorosis of varying nature. As indicated by analytical results, Fluoride (as F) was found ranging between mg/l in all samples drawn from the groundwater souses except in case of GW-3, where it was found 3.0 mg/l. In case of samples drawn from surface water sources, values of fluoride varies between mg/l.

Following inference can be drawn from the analytical values: Mercury, Cadmium, Arsenic, Selenium and Hexavalent Chromium are found below the detection limit.

109 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 99 of 210 Manganese in all the samples drawn from groundwater sources were found in range <0.01 to 0.2 mg/l, except in case of GW-6, in which it was estimated 0.5 mg/l. In case of surface water sources, the values of manganese were found ranging between mg/l. The maximum permissible limit of manganese in drinking water is 0.3 mg/l. Copper in all samples drawn from both ground water and surface water sources, were found in ranges of <0.01 to 0.03 mg/l, which is below desirable limit of 0.05 mg/l. Lead is found in range of mg/l, which is below the desirable limit of 0.05 mg/l. Except in case of sample GW-2, where Zinc is found 1.0 mg/l, in all other samples (both ground water and surface water), the values of Zinc were found ranging between mg/l. It is well below the desirable limit of 5 mg/l in case of all the samples.

Cyanide, if present beyond the acceptable level, imparts toxicity in water. As evident from the analysis results, it was not detected in any of the sample. Phenolic compounds, if present in water beyond permissible level, may produce objectionable taste & odor as well as increase the toxicity of water. In present study concentration of these compounds are not detected in any of the water source. Anionic detergents, if found beyond the prescribed level, may cause froth in water & can form harmful by-products on chlorination of water source. These compounds were not detected in any of the sample analyzed in present study. Iron is not hazardous to health but aesthetic value of water may be reduced appreciably due to coloration of water, which may be yellowish brown to black and turbidity formed by precipitation of oxides. Excess iron in water imparts bitter characteristics & metallic taste. In addition, carrying capacity of pipeline in the distribution system may reduce due to the deposition of iron oxide & bacterial slimes as a result of the growth of microorganism (iron bacteria) in iron bearing water. Desirable limit of iron in water is 0.3 mg/l, whereas maximum permissible limit in the absence of alternate sources is 1.0-mg/l.

(c) Wastewater Treatment Waste water treatment is the process by which the majority of the contaminants can be removed from wastewater or sewage so that treated water can be suitable disposed off at designated landuse. To be effective, sewage must be conveyed to a treatment plant by appropriate pipe and conveyance system. The adequacy study must be carried out to ensure the effectiveness of process and infrastructure to treat the sewage and effluent to meet the regulatory compliance. (d) Industrial water treatment Water treatment is required to treat industrial water for various applications like heating, cooling, processing, cleaning, etc. so that operating cost and risks are reduced. The industrial water treatment can be classified into following categories: Boiler water treatment Cooling water treatment Wastewater treatment In many cases, effluent water from one process might be suitable for reuse in another process somewhere else in the site. With the adequate treatment, a significant proportion of industrial

118 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 108 of 210 on-site wastewater can be reused. The optimization of water usage in this way will not only helps in reduction in effluent discharge but also facilitate in reduction in resource consumption. The treatment processes must be selected on the basis of composition, characteristics and concentration of materials present in solution or suspension. The processes are classified as pretreatment, preliminary, primary, secondary or tertiary treatment depending on type, sequence and method of removal of harmful and unacceptable constituents. Pretreatment processes equalizes flow & loading and precondition wastewater to neutralizes or remove toxics and industrial wastes that could adversely affect sewers or inhibit operational performance. (e) Preliminary treatment processes protect plant mechanical equipment; remove extraneous matter such as grit, trash and debris, reduce odors and render incoming sewage more amenable to subsequent treatment and handling. Primary treatment involves mechanical and physical unit processes to separate and remove floatable and suspended solids prior to biological treatment. Secondary treatment utilizes aerobic microorganisms in biological reactors to feed on dissolved and colloidal organic matter. Microorganisms facilitates the digestion of organic matter and consequently reduction in BOD & Suspended Solids and thus forms the organic flocs which can be removed in settling tank. Tertiary treatment or advanced treatment facilitates in removal of specific residual substances, trace organic materials, nutrients and other constituents that can not be removed by biological process. Characteristics of Composite Untreated Effluent The expected characteristics of composite equalized untreated/ raw effluent containing both industrial and domestic wastewater are given in following table: Table-3.6 (c) Characteristics of composite untreated effluent Sl. Parameter Values 1. ph Total Suspended Solids, mg/l Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD), mg/l Biochemical Oxygen Demand (BOD 3/27 C ), mg/l Oil & grease, mg/l The Common Effluent Treatment Plant would have following treatment units: Screen Chamber Oil cum grease removal traps Grit removal system/ pre-settlers Pump House-1 Equalization Tank Chemical house-chemical store, solution tanks & dosing pumps Flash mixing tanks Flocculation Tank Primary clarifier Aeration Tank

A sluice gate shall be provided in the main inlet channel. Effluent shall pass through bar screen (manual cleaned) for removal of coarse floating matter. Bar screens would be cleaned regularly in order to prevent surge in level / accumulation of influent into the sewers. The effluent shall enter into wet well and pumped into elevated receiving chamber followed by oil & grease traps. The pumps shall be fitted with online flow meters and linked to level controllers with automatic shut down functions. Equalization tank of sufficient capacity to be provided to dampen the variations in terms of volume and strength and to achieve consistent effluent quality in downstream processes. The combined effluent from equalization tank would flow under gravity into three stage flash mixer followed by flocculation tank. Chemical solutions such as ferrous sulphate and lime are to be added in the first two flash mixer and poly-electrolyte solution into the flocculation tank with the help of dosing pumps attached to chemical dosing tanks. Mixing in dosing tanks and flash mixers shall be done through mixers. The chemicals with effluent get completely mixed by rapid mixing in flash mixers whereas slow mixing in flocculation tank allows formation of bigger size flocs which facilitates the rapid settling in primary clarifier. The ph of the mixture of ferrous sulphate and effluent in flash mixer has to be maintained around 8.5 by adjusting dosing of lime solution. After floc formation, this mixture enters into primary clarifier where sludge settles at bottom and the clear effluent collected through launders flows into aeration tank. The sludge from the primary clarifier is withdrawn into wet sludge pit with the help of valve provided in the valve chamber. In addition to colour and suspended solids removal, physico-chemical treatment would remove about 20% of BOD load of raw effluent. The remaining portion of soluble BOD & COD load (organic material present in effluent) would be removed by biological treatment process. The chemically treated effluent from primary clarifier would be subjected to aerobic biological treatment (activated sludge process) in the aeration tank for removal of residual BOD & COD load up to a desired level. Activated sludge process (ASP) involves the oxidation of biodegradable matter into carbon dioxide, water and bio-cell mass. The cell mass concentration in the aeration chamber is maintained at required level by optimizing the flow rate of sludge recycling from the secondary clarifier. Proper mixing of bio-cell mass with the effluent and necessary oxygen supply for oxidation of bio-degradable matter by aerobic bio-mass in aeration tank is done by means of Activated sludge process with fixed type mechanical surface aerators.

The required DAP and urea shall be added for this purpose. The mixture of treated effluent and bio-mass from the aeration tank would flow into secondary clarifier for separation of bio-mass in the form of sludge. The settled active bio-mass at the bottom of secondary clarifier would be swept by mechanical scrapper into a sludge well provided at the central position of clarifier. The sludge slurry has to be collected under gravity into RAS pump sump, where from active sludge would be recycled into the aeration tank with the help of pumps so as to maintain the required degree of MLVSS and excess part (waste sludge) would be sent into wet sludge collection pit. The treated effluent water over flowing from secondary clarifier outlet launder shall pass through a long channel fitted with 90 V-notch for flow measurement and then it would be collected into Tertiary Treatment pump house for filtration. The treated effluent would meet the effluent discharge standards as shown in following table subject to compliance with following: The implementation of treatment scheme in totality (CETP units matching with sizes, shapes/ configuration as per the Technical Feasibility Report).

122 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 112 of Land Environment Land is a major source of livelihood for the population through agriculture and allied activities. Exponential population growth over the years resulted in the more demand for land, water and biological resources, thereby exerting tremendous pressure on land. Every piece of land has its own carrying capacity in terms of support and assimilation. Land is a finite resource and put to many competing uses. It comprises of soils, minerals, water and biota. Agenda 21 of WSSD recognizes the need to allocate land for sustainable uses and promote the integrated planning and management of land resources and emphasizes on the following specific initiatives pertaining to sustainable use of land: (a) (b) (c) Encourage adoption of science-based, and traditional sustainable land use practices through research and development, pilot scale demonstrations, and large scale dissemination, including farmer s training, and where necessary, access to institutional finance. Promote reclamation of wasteland and degraded forestland through formulation and adoption of multistakeholder partnerships involving the land owning agency, local communities, and investors. Prepare and implement thematic action plans for arresting and reversing desertification. The degradation of land, through soil erosion, alkali-salinization, water logging, pollution, and reduction in organic matter content has several proximate and underlying causes. The proximate causes include erosion by surface water run-off and winds, excessive use of irrigation, improper and indiscriminate use of agricultural chemicals, diversion of animal wastes for domestic fuel (leading to reduction in soil nitrogen and organic matter), and disposal of industrial and domestic wastes on productive land. These in turn are driven by implicit and explicit subsidies for water, power, fertilizer and pesticides, and absence of conducive policies and regulatory systems to enhance people s incentives for afforestation and forest conservation Faridabad Land Environment : Geography & Geology Faridabad is situated on the Delhi Mathura National Highway No. 2 at a distance of 32 km. from Delhi, at 28 25'16" north latitude and 77 18'28" east longitude. The town is bounded on the north by Delhi State, on the east by Agra and the Gurgaon canals and on the west by the Aravali Hills. The Yamuna flows very near to the city at its northern side and moves away as it goes south. The major part of Faridabad city is underlain by Quaternary Alluvium consisting of sand, clay and silt. In the western and northwestern part of the town, the quartzite ridges of the Delhi system can the observed. Along the Yamuna flood plain towards the eastern part of the town, the younger alluvium is mainly sandy with a thickness of about m. The main water-bearing horizons (aquifers) consisting of a sandy layer is generally confined to 60 m below ground level. Beyond this depth alluvium is more clayey and generally aquifers are not potential water sources even though depth of bedrock is more than 200 m. The limited thickness of aquifers further restricts the development of ground water on a large scale. In the Delhi quartzites, the

The soil comprises of natural body of animal, mineral and organic constituents differentiated into horizons of variable depth, which differ from the material underneath in morphology, physical make up, chemical properties & composition and biological characteristics. Soil serves as a reservoir of nutrients for plants and crops and provide mechanical anchorage thereto. The impact of pollutants on soil quality may be a rather slow process but it may be of greater concern in the long run. The percolation of pollutants, may get accumulated in the soil and ultimately affect its quality. (a) Investigation of Soil Quality in Study Area To investigate the existing soil quality of the study area, five samples of soil from different locations along the route of pipeline, were collected to cover important aspects of physical and chemical properties of soil quality therein. Samples were collected as per the following details:

(c) Discussion on Results Analytical results of all the soil samples analyzed hereunder are summarized in table-3.7 (f). (i) Physical Properties Soil Texture : The soil texture indicates the coarseness or fineness of the soil and largely depends upon the amount & quantity of size group of particle that constitute the soil. The soil texture in the study area was observed in the category of Silty sand. ph value : The most important property of soil as a medium for plant growth is its ph value (determined. ph value observed in the study area was found in range of and can be considered good enough for fertility. ph of the soil significantly affects plant growth, primarily as a result of change in availability of both the essential elements, such as phosphorous and most of micro nutrients as Cu, Fe, Mn, Mo & Zn, as well as non essential elements like aluminium. ph of the soil also affects microbial population growth.

127 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 117 of 210 (ii) Electrical conductivity is another parameter to assess the magnitude of soluble salts in the sample of soil. EC of collected soil samples (determined in the ratio of 1:5) varied in range of µmhos/cm. EC suggests that level of deleterious matter in samples drawn from agricultural land is not in excessive ranges. Nutrients Primary Nutrients : Phosphorus and potassium are the primary nutrients in soil. Phosphates in collected samples of soil, particularly from the agriculture land, was found in range of % by mass, when estimated as (P 2 O 5 ), whereas potassium (as K 2 O) was found between % by mass. Available Nutrients : Available nitrogen is found in range of kg/ha, which indicates low to medium rating. Available phosphorous has been estimated in range of kg/ha, thereby indicating low to medium rating. Available potassium is estimated in range of kg/ha, thereby indicating low to medium rating. Organic Carbon : Organic carbon in all the samples was found in range of % by mass, thereby indicating low rating with respect to this parameter.

Ecological system consists of varieties of interrelationship between both biotic and abiotic components including dependence, competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprises of both plant and animal communities, which interact not only within and between themselves but also within the abioticphysical and chemical components of the environment. A biological community depends on the condition and resources of its location. Variables like temperature, humidity, atmospheric conditions, soil quality and topographical features are responsible for maintaining the homeostasis of the environment and change in any one of the variables may lead to stresses on the ecosystem. Animal and plant communities in their natural habitat exist in a well-organized manner. This natural setting may be disturbed by any external, man induced or nature induced influences. Plants and animals are more susceptible to environmental stresses. These changes in the composition of biotic communities are reflected as a change in the distribution pattern, diversity, dominance of the natural species of flora and fauna existing in the ecosystem. Major component of Biological Environment is bio-diversity, which can be defined as the variability among living organisms from all sources, including terrestrial and other aquatic ecosystems and the ecological complexes of which they are a part; this includes diversity within species, between species and of ecosystems. Conservation and sustainable use of bio-diversity is fundamental to ecologically sustainable development. Bio-diversity is part of our daily lives and livelihood, and constitutes resources upon which families, communities, nations and future generations depend. An environment rich in biological diversity, therefore, offers the broadest array of options for sustainable economic activity, for sustaining human welfare and for adapting to change. Loss of bio-diversity has serious economic and social costs for any nation Biological Impact Assessment The structures, functions and distributions of plant and animal communities can be utilized to assess the impact of the project on flora and fauna of the region, which are important components of land and aquatic ecology. Conservation strategies of biological diversity can be achieved if the baseline condition of the area is studied and understood. The proposed project site has been surveyed physically as well as by study of toposheet to establish the status of the biological environment of the study area. The study area mainly comprised of a plane land surrounded by the agriculture land. The forest area is almost negligible in the buffer zone (10 km radius of the proposed site). Patches of thorny bushes along with the natural vegetation can be seen scattered around the area. There are plantation developed by forest department at some places and along the roadside. Some other private plantation are also available in the region Wild Life Management in District Faridabad The Government of Haryana framed rules under the wild-life (Protection) Act 1972 in 1973 for the protection of wild-life in the state. The wild life is managed by the wild-life department of the state. Wild life area were managed by Wild Life Department on year to year. Working scheme depending on availability of budget and specific requirement of management.

They not only serve as a feeding ground for water and water side birds but also as a source of survival for avifauna and large number of amphibians and reptiles. Haryana s wet lands are most suitable feeding ground for migratory birds like cranes, geese, teals, flamingoes, pelicans, ducks and several other species. So, in a way wet lands are serving a useful role in preserving the gift of nature for our future generations. Traditionally, wet lands are considered as useless and unproductive and source of survival of our ecosystem. Important water bodies in this division are Agra Canal, Gurgaon canal, Rampur distributory running across the district Floristic Composition (Composition & Condition of the Crop) The floristic composition and species diversity of an area is an important parameter in defining the environmental condition of the area. Aravali support only scrub vegetation because of shallow depth of soil. Soil from these hills has been eroded by water & wind over a period of millions of years. Excessive biotic interference has further reduced the composition & density of forests & these are in last stages of degradation. The forests belongs to Northern Dry Deciduous Forest sub-group. About 90% forest areas are situated along roads canals, drains & flood protection bunds in the shape of linear strips. These strips mainly pass through agricultural fields or wastelands & were part of these lands before its acquisition for the present purpose so there were devoid of natural forest vegetation. Table-3.9 (a) Distribution of Forest Area in Faridabad District Legal Status of Forest Area (in hectare) Compact Strip Total Reserved Protected Unclassified Total Diversification of Species in District Faridabad The species which can be planted in Faridabad district apart from Eucalyptus, kikar & shisham are given below: Azadirachta indica (neem), prosopis cineraria (Khajri or Jand), Leucaena lencocephala (subabul). In the Aravalli belt species like Acacia Senegal (khairi/khumber), Anogeissus penduala (dhauro), Azadirachta indica (neem), Cassia nodosa, Cassia siamea, Prosopis juliflora (tree variety) (kabli kikar) can be planted suceessfully. These species fulfil the need for small timber, fodder, firewood, labour, employment & shade.

In sandy areas emphasis should be on species like Acacia tortilis (Israeli kikar), Acacia albida, Azadirachta indica (neem), Ailanthus excelsa (motia aduso), Tamarix aphylla (frash), Tecomella acuelata (rohera), & Zizyphus mauritiana (beri). Species like Bauhinea purpured, Dichrastachya nutans, Caloperspermum mopne & Acacia leucophloea (raunj) can also be tried in the district in general. In khadar area generally there is thicj layer of course sand below 30 cm or so. The following species are recommended for this category of soils Acacia catechu (khari), Subabul, Mango, Frash, Ber and Poplar Injuries to crops is liable to natural agencies like draught & frost (i) Drought: The month of May and June are exceptionally dry and summer is extremely hot. Deficiency of moisture prevails over the greater part of the year. Less relative humidity and high temperature causes rapid loss of moisture from sandy loam soils. Scarcity of water in river Yamuna and canals or closure of canals further increases the drought situation. Safeda and shisham plants are susceptible to drought during first two years of plantation. These species withstand drought well after they are three years old. (ii) Frost Frost is common during winter season and occurs usually during the month of January and February. Frosts are not uncommon during December also. Late frosts are generally more damaging than early frosts. Frost damage is exaggerated by sudden warming-up of cold plants. It s effect is more in low lying areas, Kikar Israeli kikar, Siris and Neem are frost tender species and are seriously affected by frost in young stage. Severe frost even adversely affects young established plantation of kikar.

153 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 143 of Traffic Study Traffic density is a major development indicator and hence is a critical parameter of environmental impact assessment. More urbanization results in high traffic density. More population inflow has direct correlation with traffic density. Traffic density of an area is having direct impact on air & noise pollution and hence the need of management. Traffic is the predominant source of air and noise pollution in urban areas. The major air pollutants emitting out from vehicular traffic are Carbon monoxide, Sulphur dioxide, oxides of Nitrogen, Hydrocarbons etc. Any developmental project activity essentially results in increase in vehicular traffic. Hence, it is important to collect data on existing status of traffic composition and volume in the vicinity of proposed project site, so that the change in traffic composition and volume can be assessed. Traffic volume count is an important tool for decision-makers to understand adequacy of prevailing road infrastructure to handle the increased vehicular movement after the proposed project comes up Selection of Monitoring Locations: Two locations having direct relations with the access to the project site within the core zone were identified for traffic volume count survey. The details of the monitoring locations are as below: (a) (b) Ballabhgarh to Mohana (TM-1) Mohana to Ballabhgarh (TM-2) Methodology for Traffic Density Survey Traffic movement was continuously monitored on either side of the road, for 24 hour for following type of traffic composition: (a) (i) (ii) (iii) Motorized Vehicles Heavy Motor Vehicles (HMV) include Truck, Bus, Dumper, Tanker, Trailer etc. Light Motor Vehicles (LMV) include Car, Jeep, Van, Tractor, Mini Bus, Tempo etc. Two/ Three wheelers include Scooter, Motor cycle, TSR etc. (b) Non-motorized vehicles : Bicycle, cycle rickshaw, animal drawn.

157 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 147 of Anticipated Environmental Impacts In this section, potential impacts are identified and evaluated on different environmental components due to the construction and operation of the proposed project. The first step of the impact assessment process involves identifying the key issues associated with the construction and operation phases of the proposed project. Issues and concerns of the proposed project are scoped based on the knowledge and experience with respect to environmental setting and project elements. Accordingly, the existing environmental system is described and the components of the project are determined. This step involves identification of the environmental modification that may be significant, forecasting of the quality and spatial dimension of change in the environment identified and estimation of the probability that the impact will occur. This step involves determination of the incidence of benefit to end users and population affected by the project, specification and comparison of effects between various alternatives, and assessment of the likely effect of the project on the environmental, economical and social components indicating the nature & magnitude of impacts. 4.1 Impact Analysis The major element involved in the process of environment impact assessment is identification of impacts as it leads to other elements such as quantification and evaluation of impacts. Although, in general, a number of impacts have been identified while describing the existing environmental status. It is necessary at this stage to assess the existing environmental status to facilitate the identification of the critical impacts that are occurring due to the proposed project upon various components of environment therein.the concept for impact evaluation will, therefore, be accounted for the proposed project activities and thereby to identify the types of associated impacts, which are likely to occur. The subsequent steps will be selected to define each impact and to identify the secondary and tertiary impacts, which may induce as a result of the project activities. This process may be repeated until all possible impacts will be identified. The greatest advantage of this type of approach is that it allows identifying the impacts by selecting and tracing out the events as they are expected to occur due to existing activities. The impact network has been developed for (i) proposed project activities impacting environment and (ii) areas of environment being impacted. Approach to the Impact Analysis The approach to impact analysis includes identification of both positive and negative impacts, which may be inclusive of following: Identification and summary of all anticipated environmental impacts. Description of all probable adverse impacts, which cannot be avoided, and are due to construction as well as operational phase of the project. In order to assess the impact of proposed project, following scenarios are to be considered (i) No project (ii) Project without EMP (iii) Project with EMP in place. The proposed development of Industrial Estate of HSIIDC at IMT Faridabad would create impacts on the environment in two distinct phases: (i) (ii) During the construction phase, which may be regarded as temporary or short term The other during the operation stage (when the proposed project will become operational), would have long-term effects and hence require mitigation plan for management.

158 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 148 of 210 (a) Impacts on Ambient Air Environment The impacts on Ambient Air Quality due to the proposed project activities during the construction phase of the project may be temporary or short-term. Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM) and Respirable Particulate Matter (RPM) would be the predominant pollutants generated from construction activities. The gaseous emissions such as SO 2, NO x and CO would be generated from the construction equipments and vehicles. During operational phase, the significant contributor to the air pollution would be the DG sets (as point source of emission) and movement of vehicles in the industrial area (as line source of emission). (i) Impacts During Construction During construction phase, the project would have impacts on ambient air quality due to the emissions by construction equipments and vehicles, and an increase in dust level by the construction activities. Earth excavation work, foundation work, superstructure work, material storage, transportation and handling of construction materials together with wind erosion could be the major factors, which may produce a temporary and localized increase in SPM and RPM levels. The increased movement of heavy vehicles carrying construction materials, operation of DG sets as standby power back-up system would generate gaseous emissions. The degree of dust generated would depend on the soil compaction and moisture content of the ground surface during the construction. Dust and exhaust particulate emissions from heavy equipment operations would temporarily degrade air quality in the immediate construction zone. The construction contractor has to ensure regular monitoring of dust levels in the vicinity of the proposed site during the construction activities. Dust suppression will have to be applied, using water tankers mounted on tractors, sprinklers and other means as necessary to suppress and curb dust pollution, in the event that high levels of dust are observed, and complaints about dust are received. Other diffused source of gaseous emissions from the construction site would be if the construction labors uses fuel wood for cooking and heating during winters. The construction contractor will have to ensure that such practice would not be adopted by the labours and they should be provided with LPG cylinders for cooking in their labor camps. (ii) Impacts during Operation During operational phase, the significant contributor to the air pollution would be the DG sets (as point source of emission) and movement of vehicles in the industrial area (as line source of emission). The impacts of DG sets emission would be minimized by taking adequate measures which may include raising of stake height as per the guidelines. This impact would be intermittent, scattered & short-term. Gaussian dispersion modeling reveals no significant impacts, while considering the Worst case scenario. Impacts, if any, during the operational stage would be further minimized by the development of adequate green belt in the vicinity. (b) (i) Impacts on Noise Environment Impacts During Construction Construction activities normally result in temporary and short term increases in noise levels. The main sources of noise during construction period includes movement of vehicles for loading and unloading of construction materials, fabrication, handling of equipment and materials, operation of power shovels, concrete mixing plants, generators etc. The areas likely to be affected are those close to the site. (ii) Impacts During Operation During operation, there will not be any significant increase in the ambient noise level as explained below:

159 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 149 of 210 Noise due to operation of DG sets for power back-up would be controlled by adequate acoustic treatment and hence there will not be any significant impact. There may be marginal impact on ambient noise level due to the movement of vehicles but it will not increase the baseline. Impacts on noise environment, if any, due to the operational stage of the project would be appropriately attenuated by the development of green belt in the vicinity of the project. The intermittent and short-term noise may increase in the event of social ceremonies/ gathering etc. in residential areas due to the operation of DG sets meant for power back-up. (c) Impacts on Water Environment Total water demand for the operational phase of the proposed project would be KLD out of which KLD required for horticultural purpose would be met through recycled waste water. Hence net water demand for the proposed project would be KLD. The horticulture demand and the demand of open area etc. to be met through the recycled water : = (say KLD) The net water demand : = KLD Demand to be met from local tubewells (40% of the : KLD total demand) Net demand to be met from external source of Ranney wells and Battery of tube wells from Yamuna river bed : = KLD It has been proposed that all plots of size 2 acres and above (79 Nos. with cumulative area of acres shall treat the wastewater to the extent of 30% of their discharge to cater for air conditioning, horticulture and extra demand for processing, if any (i) Water demand to be met through local tubewells It is estimated that about KLD of water demand to be met through 25 Nos. of tubwells each having the yield of 480 KLD. Total water demand excluding the fire fighting demand : KLD Demand to be met through local tubewells (40% of total demand ) : KLD (add 10% more) = (12700 KLD) Anticipated yield from one tubewell - Rate : litres/ hr Running hours : 16 Hrs (Assumption) Yield from one tubewell : litres (480 KLD) No. of tubewells needed : 25 Nos. (ii) Water demand to be met through Ranney wells and tubewells along river Yamuna It is estimated that KLD demand would be met through 2 Nos. of Ranney wells each having the yield of 7500 KLD. Water demand of 4068 KLD would be met through 6 Nos of tubewells each with the yield of 800 KLD along river Yamuna. Demand to be met from Ranney wells & tubwells : KLD (add 10% more) = KLD It is proposed that KLD demand to be met from 2 Nos. Ranney wells & 4068 KLD from the tubewells along river Yamuna Anticipated yield from Ranney wells : 7500 KLD No. of Ranney wells required : 2 Nos Anticipated yield from one tubewell Rate : litres/ hr along river Yamuna : Running hours : 16 Hrs (Assumption) Yield from one tubewell : litres (800 KLD) No. of tubewells needed : 6 Nos.

160 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 150 of 210 (iii) Rain Water Harvesting The rain water harvesting would be essential for the operational phase of proposed project because surface water would be inadequate to meet the water requirements of proposed project. Recharging would be done through pits, trenches, wells, shafts etc. In case of roof top area more than 100 m 2, the roof top rain water harvesting would be made mandatory and would be done by individual plot holders. Impacts on water quantity & quality during the operational phase of the project will be minimized by Recycling of treated wastewater for horticulture purposes. Rain water harvesting The water requirement during the construction phase will be partly met through tankers and in limited case through borewell and hence no adverse impacts on ground water could be anticipated. (d) (i) Impacts Due to Wastewater Generation During Construction The major source of water pollution during the construction phase of the project would be sewage from labour camps and makeshift office. It is expected that at any given time during the construction phase, the peak manpower strength on construction site comprising of contractor s technical staff, administrative staff, skilled and unskilled workers. The water requirement would lpcd & waste water generation would lpcd. The generated sewage would pass through a septic tank and would be discharged into the existing municipal sewage network of the area. (ii) During Operation The wastewater generation during the operational phase of the proposed project is expected to be KLD and net wastewater for treatment would be KLD as per the following statement: Total average waste water generated per day = KLD Waste water generated by 79 bigger plots = 4410 KLD 30% to be treated within the plot = 1323 KLD Net waste water available = = KLD Waste water Treatment plants to be installed in 2 module of KLD each as its expected that demand may rise gradually in 10 years. (e) (i) Impacts on Land Environment Impacts on Land Use The project proponent has acquired 1784 acres 0 kanal 2 marla of land in villages Chandwali, Machgarh, Mujeri, Navada Tigaon, Unchagaon & Sotai of Ballabhgarh & Faridabad at public expense, for public purpose namely for the development of Industrial Model Township in Sector-66 to 69 of Faridabad district. The award of above said land was announced on , & by District Revenue Officer-cum-Land Acquisition Collector, Faridabad. The proposed development of IMT at Faridabad would be in adherence with the Master Plan-2011 of Faridabad, issued by Dept. of Town & Country Planning, Haryana. Hence, the development of the proposed project will not have any impact on the landuse. Moreover, local landuse planning will control the type, density and location of development in the future. Development of green belt and other landscape on the proposed site would further enhance the visual and aesthetic quality of the area.

161 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 151 of 210 (ii) Impacts on Soil The site clearing and preparation activities will involve removal of only scanty vegetation, mainly bushes, existing in the vicinity of proposed site. The project site is primarily dominated by undergrowth and unwanted bushes. As the topography in and around the site is mostly plain with no significant slope, the digging of the site before the start of the construction work for the foundation work would not result any significant effect on soil erosion and silt run off, even during the heavy rains. The project requires extensive work on the excavation and removal of soil and hence will temporarily affect soil structure and stability with a localized impact. The project proponent will adopt good construction practices that will ensure the environmental impacts of waste effluents generated on-site during construction would be minimized. (iii) Construction Wastes The generation of waste material is inevitable during the construction phase of the development. Waste can be generated at different stages of construction process. Wastes may include the top soil, clay, sand, and gravel. These can be re-used as filler at the same site after completion of excavation work. Other miscellaneous materials that could arise as waste include glass, plastic material, general refuse, scrap metal, cardboard, etc. and the solidwastes from the construction workers temporary housing. Efforts would be done to recycle the waste material to the possible extent Non-recyclable solid wastes generated during construction will be disposed of to a designated landfill sites in the project area. Hence, waste generated during the construction would not be of significant quantify and would not have any significant potential impact. (f) (i) Solid Wastes Generation and Disposal Industrial Solid Wastes Assessment of industrial solid waste management problem greatly varies depending on the nature of the industry, their location and mode of disposal of waste. In the absence of the knowledge about the number & type of industries that would be coming up in the proposed industrial area, it is not possible to provide estimate about the quantity. For this reason, the industrial waste is proposed to be considered separately from the MSW and has to be dealt in accordance with the Hazardous Wastes (Management & Handling) Rules Further, industries generating solid waste will have to manage such waste by themselves and are required to seek authorizations from state Pollution Control Boards (SPCB) under relevant rules. However, through joint efforts of SPCBs, local bodies and the industries, a mechanism could be evolved for better management. Following steps would be taken-up for better management of the waste to be generated in industrial estate Inventory Management and Improved Operations Inventorisation and tracing of all raw materials Procurement of fewer toxic and more non-toxic production materials Implementation of employees training and management feedback Improving material receiving, storage, and handling practices. Production Process Optimization Substitution of non-hazardous for hazardous raw materials Segregation of wastes by type for recovery Elimination of sources of leaks and spills Separation of hazardous from non-hazardous wastes Optimization of the process of raw material use Emphasis on reuse & recycling of wastes (ii) Municipal Solid Wastes The primary sources of solid waste in Faridabad are local households, commercial establishments, markets, hotels, restaurants, etc. The total quantity of waste generated per day is in the order of 480

162 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 152 of 210 tonnes per day (TPD) at a per-capita generation of 377 grams per day. MCF is responsible for the collection, transportation and disposal of all solid waste generated, except the untreated bio-medical waste and hazardous industrial waste, which is taken care of by the respective generators. MCF organizes the collection and transportation of the waste through a team of its own conservancy workers and a fleet of vehicles and dumper-placers. The waste collected is disposed at various dumping yards without any treatment. (g) Impacts on the Drainage Development of proposed project will improve the drainage in the project area vicinity. There are proposal for development of storm water drainage and internal drainage system. (i) Proposal for storm water drainage To ensure the gravity flow of storm water, it is proposed that Covered rectangular drainage system has to be adopted for collection of storm water runoff from sectors instead of conventional covered pipe drains. The system will ensure gravity flow into master storm water system. Covered rectangular brick drains have been proposed on one side of all roads to ensure gravity flow of storm water into master storm water system. (ii) Planning of internal drainage system The following factors would be taken into consideration for planning of the drainage system: The pattern & gradient of natural slope of the site, its extent and direction. The natural drainage system in the downstream area (outside the project area). The road network system envisaged and finished level of roads. The runoff from units and other built up areas to lead into catch basin connected to branch drains along the access roads. These drains will take storm water into nearest lateral drains and then into trunk drains on main roads, which would eventually take the storm water into the natural system. The rain water from open spaces as well as from isolated places, would flow over the ground following the natural slope gradient and get into the nearest drain through the vertical grating. No. of recharge wells (as per design) shall be provided all along the major roads and as such the runoff during the normal rains shall get absorbed through these recharge wells. While during the peak intensity of rainfall, the drainage system would carry the surplus water to be pumped into Agra canal. (iii) Design of drains The section of the drains will be rectangular in shape & brick masonry will be covered at top. (iv) Location of drain & network The drains will be located near the carriageway along either side of all the roads, in case of roads having camber on both sides and on one side of road having camber on one side. Taking the advantage of road camber and embankments, the rainfall runoff from roads shall flow towards the drains. (v) Culverts (Storm water drains & road crossings) The crossing of storm water drains under the road, box & slabs culverts has been proposed. RCC slabs over brick masonry will be suggested for drain width upto 1.0 m.

165 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 155 of 210 (v) Connectivity The project site shall be provided with connectivity from either side by constructing an approach road on the canal embankment either by HSIIDC after obtaining permission from U.P Irrigation Dept or shall be got executed from U.P Irrigation Department as a deposit work. 2 Nos of bridges shall be got constructed along the dividing road of sector-2 & 64 and sector-64 & 65. On the outer periphery 90 m wide road, a bridge is also proposed on Agra Canal & the provision for the same has been made in the project cost. The improvement in connectivity will facilitate the development of socio-cultural and socioeconomic environment in the area. Keeping in view of above, the proposed project will have positive impacts towards the socio-economic environment and project proponent will do best efforts to enhance the positive impacts. (i) Impacts on Energy During construction phase of the project Fossil fuels, such as diesel fuel, gasoline and oil will be used during the construction and operation of the project for mechanical and electrical equipments and should have marginal adverse effects on renewable resources. Electricity will be used during construction to provide power to construction equipment and in operation for lighting of buildings and running utilities equipments. Electricity consumption will be kept at a minimum whenever possible by adopting electricity conservation measures. During operational phase of the project The load calculations for the industrial estate being developed by HSIIDC at IMT Faridabad for various categories would be as under: Table-4.1 (c) Load estimation under various categories S/ Stn Sector Load (kw) Load (kva) Current (Amps) A 67 & Agri B C D E F G H Total Street Light Grand Total Design & Proposal As per the norms of HVPN/ DHBVN, for load above 63 MVA, the consumer has to provide 220 kv sub-station. Accordingly, it is proposed to provide a 220 kv sub-station with 2 Nos. transformers of rating 220/ 33 kv, 100 MVA each. This sub-station would be fed from 400/ 220 kv sub-station under erection at Nawada through a 220 kv line. The distance from Nawada sub-

166 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 156 of 210 station to 220 kv sub-station at IMT Faridabad is approx. 5 km. The land required for the 220 kv sub-station would be 12 acres. It is also proposed to provide 33 kv double circuit ring main around the entire complex and 8 Nos. 33 kv sub-stations at various locations depending upon the load requirements. At each of the 33 kv sub-station, it is proposed to provide 2 Nos 10/ 12.5 MVA transformers further these would be the un-manned indoor sub-stations with provision of VCBs. The land requirement for these type of un-manned 33 kv sub-stations would be approx. 0.5 acre. Minimization of Impact The project proponent will ensure that best management practices to be followed both during the construction & operational phases of the project to conserve renewable resources. These may include, but are not limited to: Lighting of only critical areas during non-working hours; Efficient scheduling of construction crews Use of energy-efficient lighting; Minimizing idling of construction equipment and vehicles; Recycling of used motor oils and hydraulic fluids. (j) Impacts on Biological Environment The proposed project will have no adverse impact on bio-diversity since there is no significant vegetation (flora) and fauna in the project core zone. In 10 km radius of the proposed project following are neither existing nor proposed National Park Sanctuary Elephant/ Tiger Reserve Migratory routes Project Proponent would further ensure the development of adequate green belt as well as landscaping in the vicinity of the proposed project site. This would not only help in reducing the existing (baseline) level of air and noise pollution but also aim at enhancing the aesthetic and visual quality of entire area as well as provide habitation to local fauna to preserve the environmental quality. Hence, proposed project would definitely have the positive impacts as far as biological environment is concerned. 4.2 Description of Environmental Impacts The assessment, as to be carried out by considering above situation and scenario, is described hereunder: (a) Air Environment Air quality is influenced by a number of factors, which includes natural and anthropogenic or man-made. An assessment of the existing air quality status was carried out in the vicinity of the proposed project. Air Pollutant Dispersion Modeling was carried out considering two situation viz (i) Point Source of emission i.e. use of DG sets as power back-up (Guassian Model) and Line Source of emission i.e. movement of vehicles in the project vicinity (Caline Model) both considering the worst-case-scenario. The Air Quality Impact analysis of proposed project can be summarised as below:

167 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 157 of 210 (i) No project Without the proposed project in place, baseline data Ambient Air Quality Data is generated at the Core Zone & Buffer Zone of the project site. Data is summarized in table-4.2 (a). Except in case of SPM & RSPM, other AAQ indicators like SO 2, NO x & CO are within the norms of Rural, Residential and Other areas. However, in case of NAAQS for industrial area, all AQI indicators are within limit exept RSPM. Table-4.2 (a) Baseline AAQ data at Core & Buffer Zones of Proposed Project Site Data Indicator AAQ-1 AAQ-2 AAQ-3 AAQ-4 AAQ-5 AAQ-6 SPM, µg/m 3 Minimum Average Maximum th Percentile RSPM, µg/m 3 Minimum Average Maximum th Percentile SO 2, µg/m 3 Minimum BDL BDL BDL BDL BDL BDL Average Maximum th Percentile NO x, µg/m 3 Minimum Average Maximum th Percentile CO, mg/m 3 Minimum Average Maximum th Percentile (ii) The project without EMP With the implementation of proposed project, there will be amelioration in the ambient air quality as the proposed project is aiming at development of green belt and landscaping. Further, after the completion of construction activities, soil of the area will be stabilized and there will be drastic reduction in the area of loose soil. All these efforts will drastically reduce the air pollution in the area. (iii) The project with EMP With the implementation of EMP, there will be attenuation in the existing air pollution due to the development of green belt and landscaping of entire core zone of the project.. In addition, industrial units will implement adequate air pollution control measures in respect units, which will further help in reduction of ground level concentration of ambient air quality pollutants. (b) Noise Environment Noise pollution is most often and most simply defined as unwanted sound, which interferes with speech communication, causes annoyance, distracts from work, disturbs sleep and thus adversely affects the quality of human environment. In order to assess the existing noise level, noise monitoring was undertaken in the project vicinity. The ambient noise level is characterized by significant variations above a base called a Residual Noise Level, below which the ambient

168 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 158 of 210 noise does not seem to drop during a given time interval and is generally caused by unidentified distant sources. It differs in rural and urban areas. At night, its level is low due to lesser elements of noise. As suggested by monitoring data and its statistical analysis, the residual noise level (L 90 ) during the monitoring period was well within the prescribed limit of the residential areas. The results as discussed in this report indicate that during most of the monitoring time noise level was observed to be within prescribed norms. However, some higher values, as observed in the study, may be due to the movement of vehicles, aircrafts etc. The Noise Quality Impact analysis of proposed project can be summarised as below: (i) No project Without the proposed project, the noise level in the project area is within the norms prescribed for landuses such as residential, commercial & industrial areas inspite of the intense human activities both in the core and buffer zone of the project (ii) The project without EMP With the implementation of proposed project, there may be some increase in the ambient noise level due to operation of DG sets & machinery as well as movement of vehicles in the industrial area, but this impact would only be limited to day time. There may also be short-term and localized impact on noise quality during the construction of the project. However, residual noise level (L 90 ) is expected to be within the prescribed norms of industrial areas in the core zone and residential areas in the buffer zone. (iii) The project with EMP With the implementation of EMP, chances of localized and intermittent noise level could well be attenuated by appropriate acoustic enclosure (wherever applicable in case of the operation of DG sets) and development of appropriate and adequate green belt, which would further help the project proponent in reduction of the existing level of noise. (c) Water Environment The study of water environment is very significant for Environmental Impact Assessment of any new installation/ expansion of a project. It includes the study of natural environment of existing water scenario and prediction of likely impacts on it due to the upcoming installation / expansion of any project. The impact analysis on water quantity & quality of proposed project can be summarized as below: (i) No project Ground water quality in general is saline and hard in nature in the vicinity of project area. There is no significant pollution in the ground water as far as toxic constituents are concerned like heavy metals and organics. (ii) The project without EMP The proposed project activities will not contaminate the ground & surface water in the vicinity. There will not be any discharge on the open land. Domestic sewage & industrial effluent would be treated adequately. Hence, there is no threat with regard to the pollution or contamination of water resources.

169 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 159 of 210 (iii) With respect to quantity of water, there is a proposal to construct tubewells and Ranney wells along river Yamuna to meet the water demand for industrial use. There is also a proposal for Rain Water Harvesting and reuse of treated water for horticulture purpose. The project with EMP EMP would address all the problems associated with respect to water pollution, water quality and quantity due to the proposed project. (d) Land Environment Land is a major resource for sustainable development. Exponential population growth over the year resulted in the more demand for land, water and biological resources, thereby exerting tremendous pressure on land. Every piece of land has its own carrying capacity in terms of support and assimilation. The Land Environment Impact analysis of proposed project can be summarized as below: (i) No project Landuse is as per the Master Development Plan of Faridabad. In context to soil quality, analytical results, in general suggests that the soil quality in samples drawn from agricultural land as well as open uncultivated area, contains optimum level of plant nutrients and other components required for the soil for agricultural purposes. (ii) The project without EMP The proposed project of the development of IMT Faridabad will not have any significant impacts on the land environment. Landuse in the vicinity would be in adherence to the Master Development Plan. (iii) The project with EMP With the implementation of EMP, landscaping of the area would be ameliorated, which would result in the stabilization of soil as well as improvement in the visual quality of the area. (e) Biological Environment Forests are a key element of biological & ecological systems comprised of tree-dominated vegetative associations with an innate complexity, inherent diversity, and serve as a renewable resource base as well as a habitat for a myriad of life forms. Forests render numerous goods and services, and maintain life-support systems so essential for life on earth. Some of these life support systems of major economic and environmental importance are: Supply of wood & non-wood forest products, Natural habitat for bio-diversity and repository of genetic wealth, Provision of recreation and opportunity for eco-tourism, Playing an integral part of the watershed to regulate the water regime, conserve soil, and control floods Carbon sequestration and functions as a carbon sink.

170 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 160 of 210 The Biological Environment Impact analysis of proposed project can be summarized as below: (i) No project There is no forest land in the proposed project vicinity. (ii) The project without EMP Since there is no forest land in the project area, impact of the Biological Environment could not be envisaged both during the construction and operation of the project. The proposed project will, therefore, have no adverse impact on bio-diversity since there is no significant vegetation (flora) and fauna in the project core zone. (iii) The project with EMP Project Proponent would ensure the development of adequate green belt as well as landscaping as a part of EMP. This would not only help in reducing the existing (baseline) level of air and noise pollution but also aim at enhancing the aesthetic and visual quality of entire area and also, provide habitation to local fauna to preserve the environmental quality. Hence, proposed project would definitely have the positive impacts as far as biological environment is concerned. (f) Socio-economic Environment Impact on socio-economic environment in the vicinity of any project, revolves around the mode of change that is likely to occur due to the beneficial and adverse effects arising out of the project activity. Generally, implementation of project activities results in a change in socioeconomic profile of the surrounding area due to change in land use pattern, operation and maintenance of the project, change in the occupational pattern of the local residents, boost in the local economy due to employment opportunities, increased business, improved infrastructure etc. Due to this change basic amenity needs improvement so as to keep pace with the industrial development. The Socio-economic Environment Impact analysis of proposed project can be summarized as below: (i) No project Presently project area is having good socio-economic index. (ii) The project without EMP The project would contribute towards the socio-economic development of the area at the local level. The land values around the project site are likely to be appreciated after the operation of the project. The direct and indirect employment to the local population during the operation of the project at both skilled and unskilled levels will benefit the local population and its specific groups.

171 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 161 of 210 Project would facilitate the creation of physical infrastructure in the core and buffer zone. The construction of the proposed project is expected to provide temporary employment to a good number of skilled and unskilled workers directly and to others like owner of plant and equipments, vehicles etc. during the construction period, thus have the positive impact. Along with direct employment, there will be scope for generation of secondary employment to provide services to the working people during the operation of the proposed project for various needs. All these will be beneficial to the local economy. 4.3 Statement of Environmental Impacts (a) Potential Impacts during Construction Phase as well as operation phase of the project are summarized in table-4.3 (a) and table-4.3 (b).

HW will be managed as per HW management & handling rules. Odour Problem Aesthetic Quality of the area due to objectionable odour There will not be any odour intensive industry in the proposed IMT. There is no significant source of causing objectionable odour No impacts significant Aesthetic quality of the area would further be improved by better landscaping and green belt development. The project with EMP With the implementation of EMP, there will be a general amelioration of the socio-economic environment of the area. It would have following socio-economic advantages: Enhanced visual and aesthetic quality of the area. Better employment opportunities for skilled workers. Indirect employment opportunities for the inhabitants. Better infrastructure of the area. Improved landscaping. Better connectivity. 4.4 The overall pollution load and limits of the IMT and for Faridabad area CEPI score monitored by Central Pollution Control Board in case of Faridabad is given below. CEPI score for Faridabad has been reduced from [with Air (Critical), Water (Severe) & Land (Critical)] to [with Air (Normal), Water (Critical) & Land (Normal)]. Critical Polluted Area CEPI (2009) CEPI (2013) Faridabad Ac_Ws_Lc An_Wc_Ln With the operational of IMT, Faridabad, the CEPI score will further be curtailed as the project aims at

174 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 164 of 210 Development of Industrial Model Township at Faridabad, which would help in creation state-of-the-art industrial infrastructure in the district. Relocation of existing operational industries from non-conforming areas to IMT (50% of plots are reserved for allotment to such units already operating within the municipal limits of Faridabad). This would help in abatement of pollution to a greater extent. This would also help towards planned growth of industries in Faridabad. Development of better landscaping in the vicinity as well as creation of green belt in the area which would eventually helps in the improvement of visual and aesthetic quality of the area. With the implementation of the project, other utilities would also be created like development of road network, sewerage network, augmentation of water supply system & wastewater treatment, solidwaste collection facility, educational and health facilities etc. In nutshell, project aims at amelioration of the socio-economy of the areas as well as providing basic amenities to people. The proposed Common Effluent Treatment Plant with Tertiary Treatment facility will help in utilization of treated water for various end-use applications. Setting-up of IMT is a part of Long Term Action Plan submitted to Central Pollution Control Board to bring down pollution load as well as to curtail down the CEPI score in Faridabad area.

175 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 165 of ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN INCLUDING MITIGATION MEASURES, ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM AND PROJECT BENEFIT Environmental Management is an integral part of the planning process for any ongoing / expansion of project activities. Environmental planning & sustainable development approach is essential to maintain balance between supportive and assimilative capacities of a region and hence to stay within the carrying capacity. The Management Plan for construction and operation phases of the development of the proposed industrial estate of HSIIDC at IMT Faridabad would include measures that minimize adverse impacts to the environment. 5.1 The Objective of EMP The objectives of the development of Environmental Management Plan for the proposed project activities would be to reduce the negative impacts to acceptable level & enhance the positive impact to achieve Sustainable Development in the region. Overall Aim Sustainable development in the region. To reduce or eliminate the detrimental impacts on environment To reduce or eliminate the hazards associated with the project activities. A better protection and conservation of the natural resources. To facilitate linkage between inter-sectoral development. Prevention of the deterioration of the environment. Protection and enhancement of the ecosystems. Promotion of the sustainable use of resources. Protection of environment against prioritised hazardous substances. Management of the risks to reduce or eliminate hazards. 5.2 Environment Management Plan for Proposed Project The major concerns for the EMP of the proposed project activities would be: Delineation of mitigation and compensation measures for all the identified significant impacts. Delineation of unmitigated impacts. Physical planning including work programme, time schedule and locations for putting mitigation and compensation systems in place. Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is the process to ensure that environmental considerations are integrated into the project scope. These are tools for mitigating or offsetting the potential adverse environmental impacts resulting from various activities of the project. The environmental management plan (EMP) would, therefore, consists of following main components: To integrate potential impacts (positive or negative), environmental mitigation measures, implementation schedule, and monitoring plans.

176 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 166 of 210 To describe the potential environmental impacts and proposed management associated with each stage of the project development. To control environmental impacts to levels within acceptable standards, and to minimize possible impact on the community and the workforce of foreseeable risks during the construction and subsequent operational phases of the project. To highlight that the environmental mitigation measures shall be used in consonance with good management practices and good engineering design, construction and operation practices. The EMP would, hence, be a working document that concerned stakeholders need to both understand environmental concerns and to address associated issues to facilitate environmental management. 5.3 Impact Mitigation during Construction Phase Environment protection measures/precautions shall be adopted to minimize the impacts due to activities during the construction stage. The impacts during the construction phase on the environment would be of transient and short-term nature and are expected to reduce gradually on completion of construction activities. Nevertheless, efforts are needed to reduce these short-term impacts on various components of the environment, as illustrated below, to the possible extent Air Quality Management During the construction phase, certain amount of dust shall be generated due to the mobilization of men, machinery and materials.

The location and alignment of existing landscape features would have been used to structure the development. Advantage would be taken of topographic assets such as the natural drainage as well as major city level open spaces along these corridors, integrating existing landscape and new development. Essentially the proposed landscape comprises of the following interlinked but hierarchical distinct components. The informal naturalistic component along canal, serving a regional recreation function. The more formal and organized component serving as a local space system on the East-west drainage corridors. The open space system within the sectors and neighbourhood. Land use : It would be in accordance with the Master Development Plan Green Belt Development Plan Mitigation of environmental pollution has emerged as one of the challenging task during the environmental management plan. The status is further likely to become more acute with continued and enhanced rate of development and limitation of the carrying capacity of the respective environmental basins. Hence, a systematic afforestation/ plantation work needs to be carried out in the vicinity of proposed industrial estate, which would be promoted by project

184 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 174 of 210 proponent and necessary awareness to this effect would also be created by the project proponent. Plantation would facilitate the attenuation of both air and noise pollution. The conceptual approach for development of green belt in and around the project area has multifaceted objectives. Capacity of plants to reduce air pollution is very well known and has been reported in literature. In order to attenuate air and noise pollution and recycling of wastewater, optimum greenbelt development is essential. In this context, size of greenbelt, width of greenbelt and height of greenbelt are critical parameters. Selection of tree species, which can be grown around, is also a matter of concern. Plants differ considerably with reference to their response towards pollutants attenuation, some being highly sensitive and others hardy and tolerant. (a) Objective of the development of green belt The objective of optimal development of greenbelt in the project area would be Attenuation of air/ noise pollutants Recycling of wastewater Balancing the ecology of the area Enhancing the aesthetics and visual quality of the area. (b) Area for the development of greenbelt It is suggested to develop greenbelt in maximum possible area, which would have intensive as well as extensive landscape. The extensive landscape would include trees planted along the periphery of the premises in line as well as in cluster form. (c) Selection of Plant Species Based on the regional background, soil quality, rainfall, temperature and human interactions, greenbelt has to be developed. For the development of greenbelt, adequate information is required regarding climate, and human interactions. Greenbelt with varieties of species is preferred to maintain species diversity, rational utilization of nutrients and for maintaining health of the trees. Well planned greenbelt will develop a favorable micro-climate to support different micro-organisms in the soil and as a result of which soil quality will improve further, depending upon the climatological conditions and regional ecological status. Plant species shall be selected based on: The agro climatic conditions of the area Properties of soil Nature of pollutants The selected plant species should be: Fast growing, evergreen & with thick canopy Resistant to pollutants discharged Indigenous Detailed floral description of the project area has been illustrated in Chapter- 3.8 (Biological Environment). Plants having adaptability with the local agro-climatic conditions can be selected from detailed floral inventory. Major focus would be given on Horticulture & Road Side Plantation, with development in following areas: (i) Development of Parks The total green area is in the shape of various small parks, which would be fenced with toe wall & grill fencing.

185 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 175 of 210 The central portion of the parks would be covered with fine grassing while the bigger trees would be planted on outer periphery. (ii) Green Belt Green belts will be fenced with toe wall & grill fencing and will be developed with thick plantation. The green belt proposed under the HT over head lines shall be provided with fine grassing and variety of flowering shrubs. (iii) Road side plantation Road side plantation will be carried out by sapling of Pikhan, Kusum, Silver Oak, Bahera, Neem and Kanak Chama. Jamun, Gulmohar, Papri, Putranjiva, Amaltas, Pilkhan and Maulsari would be planted for development of green belt. Plantation of Neem, Amaltas, Pipal, Pilkhan and Maulsiri are recommended for parking areas. (iv) Other plants Peacock flower, Paper-chase tree, Gardenia brilliant gardenia, Golden champak, Yellow oleander, Rangoon creeper, oinsettia, Coral creeper, Moonbeam, Golden shower, Redbell bush tree of sorrow, Glory lily heavenly blue etc. would be planted in the vicinity of project site. (d) Plantation Technique For plantation of small plants digging of pits is very important for preparing soil environment near the roots of the plants. Size of the pit should be optimum enough to supply required nutrients to the roots of the plants. The usual method is to dig pit of required size, 3 to 4 months before planting of species, which is generally done at the break of the monsoon. The pits of 45 x 45 x 45 cm size in case of hardier species, like eucalyptus, shisham, acacia, etc., but larger pit size is preferred for fruit yielding trees like mango, jamun, etc. 1 x 1 x 1 m pits may be used for plantation of other trees. The soils of the plant side should be mixed with one-third farm yard manure before refilling about a week prior to planting. In poor soils where nutrient contents are inadequate, it is necessary to add chemical fertilizers for optimum growth. Details of the plantation procedure to be followed is described below: Excavate a trench of about 1 x 1 x 1m size. Remove excavate earth from the trenches. Fill up excavated trench with equal quantity of soil and compost with little quantity of gypsum. Add water continuously 3-4 days after refilling the trench with soil and compost. (e) Water Demand for Landscaping Landscaping forms an important part of the building environment. This is constituted by combination of vegetation, paving and various other landscape features such as water bodies. The vegetation includes lawns, shrubs, herbs and trees. In general, the water demand for lawns and shrubs are higher as compared to trees, which does not require or require less water after establishment. In addition, native species also require less water. Measures for reducing water demand for landscape The water consumption for the gardening depends on the type of plant species and the plant factors. As the plant factor for native species and trees is the minimum, one of the option to reduce the water demand for gardening is to include more native species and low water

186 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 176 of 210 consuming species. Other option include use of efficient fixtures for watering, following certain best practices to minimize losses and optimize consumption. (i) Xeriscaping: Xeriscape is one of the efficient ways to reduce water consumption through creative landscaping. This involves plantation of dry plants and those plants, which can live, once established, with little or no supplemental watering. Some of these are also drought tolerant and can survive even in areas with minimal rainfall. Some of the palm trees such as Phoenix dactylifera, Yucca starlite and groundcovers such as Asparagus sprengeri, which is succulent, can be used as part of the landscape to conserve water. Other species namely, Pandanus Dwarf, which is xerophytic, and Bougainvillea which is a climber would also help in water use minimization. (ii) Native vegetation Native vegetation is original to a particular place, including trees, shrubs, and other plants. These generally require less water and less maintenance. (iii) Efficient irrigation equipments Drip irrigation To save water, drip irrigation is an efficient technique as it prevents loss of water due to evaporation, run-off and percolation. Further, it has a better control and facilitates uniform water distribution. However, this system cannot be used for lawns and ground covers but for nonnative turf and other non-xerophytic plants. Sprinkler irrigation Sprinkler irrigation system requires a network of pipes and pumping system to maintain sufficient pressure for uniform distribution. It is best suited for areas with sandy soils which have high infiltration rates. To prevent water logging, the system should be designed in such a way that infiltration rate exceeds the application rate. Sprinklers which can produce fine sprays are more efficient as compared to those that produce large water droplets. The efficiencies of irrigation systems differ widely. Further, to improve the efficiency certain measures can be followed, which includes use of a pressure regulator for pressures greater than 30 psi which will significantly reduce the loss during watering. Efficiencies of different kinds of irrigation equipment are given below: Irrigation System Efficiency Micro, drip : 85% Micro, spray : 80% Multiple sprinkler : 75% Sprinkler, container nursery : 20% Sprinkler, large guns : 70% Seepage : 50% Crown floods : 50% Fixed time schedule for watering Time schedule for watering of plants plays an important role in saving water. Irrigation should be done during the coolest time of the day (early mornings and evenings) to avoid loss due to evaporation and wind drift. Also, the frequency of irrigation should be reduced during the

187 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 177 of 210 winters. Regular flushing of the irrigation lines and other parts should be done. The use of combination of mitigation options can result in savings of water as indicated below. It indicates the reduction in water that is possible by stepwise reduction in areas of high water consuming species. By reducing the lawn area by 50% and replacing it with shrubs, it is possible to achieve 32 % savings and by further introducing native species to the level of 25%, further increase in savings of 42% is achieved. Options Savings in water (%) 100% Lawn : - 50% lawn : 50% shrubs : 32 % 50% lawn : 25% shrubs : 25% natives : 75 % 100% native : 64 % Ecological system consisting of varieties of interrelationship between both Biotic and abiotic components including dependence, competition and mutualism. Biotic components comprising of both plant and animal communities used to interact with abiotic physical and chemical components of the environment. The choice of the plant species is broadly determined by the climate and ground condition. In the development of green belt areas, multipurpose plant species should be selected. This will automatically satisfy the ecological requirement of plant diversity. (f) Green belt design for proposed IMT at Faridabad on the layout The layout has been enclosed for the green belt design for the proposed IMT at Faridabad, which indicates 30 metre wide green belt all along 90 metre road as well as along one of 45 m roads. In addition, various parks have been carved out. The green strips below 400 KV and 220 KV H.T lines may also be developed. Walkways have also been proposed in the green belt of 30 m wide road. A total of around 186 acres of land under green belts and parks have been planned. Sector- 68 is having maximum 16.2% area (72.86 acre) under green belt.

To ensure the gravity flow of storm water, it is proposed that Covered rectangular drainage system has to be adopted for collection of storm water runoff from sectors instead of conventional covered pipe drains. The system will ensure gravity flow into master storm water system. Covered rectangular brick drains have been proposed on one side of all roads to ensure gravity flow of storm water into master storm water system. The anticipated storm water flow has to be calculated as under: The internal storm water drains will be designed for ¼ rainfall per hour per acre intensity. The main connecting trunk storm sewers will be designed at 1/8 rainfall per hour per acre. Commercial area will be designed at ¼ rainfall per hour/ acre. (a) Planning of internal drainage system The following factors would be taken into consideration for planning of the drainage system: The pattern & gradient of natural slope of the site, its extent and direction. The natural drainage system in the downstream area (outside the project area).

199 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 189 of 210 The road network system envisaged and finished level of roads. The runoff from units and other built up areas to lead into catch basin connected to branch drains along the access roads. These drains will take storm water into nearest lateral drains and then into trunk drains on main roads, which would eventually take the storm water into the natural system. The rain water from open spaces as well as from isolated places, would flow over the ground following the natural slope gradient and get into the nearest drain through the vertical grating. The total runoff would be about 190 cusecs. No. of recharge wells (as per design) shall be provided all along the major roads and as such the runoff during the normal rains shall get absorbed through these recharge wells. While during the peak intensity of rainfall, the drainage system would carry the surplus water to be pumped into Agra canal. (b) Design of drains The section of the drains will be rectangular in shape & brick masonry will be covered at top. (c) Location of drain & network The drains will be located near the carriageway along either side of all the roads, in case of roads having camber on both sides and on one side of road having camber on one side. Taking the advantage of road camber and embankments, the rainfall runoff from roads shall flow towards the drains. (d) Culverts (Storm water drains & road crossings) The crossing of storm water drains under the road, box & slabs culverts has been proposed. RCC slabs over brick masonry will be suggested for drain width upto 1.0 m. (e) Disposal of storm water Following measures would be adopted: The storm water will be carried towards sector-66. It is proposed to discharge the surplus storm water into the Agra canal after obtaining necessary permission from UP Irrigation Deptt. Alternatively, open trapezoidal lines channel is proposed to carry surplus water to river Yamuna in case permission is not granted by U.P Irrigation Deptt. It is proposed to construct about 115 Nos. recharge wells for ground water recharging.

201 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 191 of Rain Water Harvesting The rain water harvesting would be essential for the operational phase of proposed project because surface water would be inadequate to meet the water requirements of proposed project. Recharging would be done through pits, trenches, wells, shafts etc. Rooftop Rain Water Harvesting through trench with Recharge Well In areas where the surface soil is impervious and large quantities of roof water or surface runoff is available within a very short period of heavy rainfall, the use of trench/ pits is made to store the water in a filter media and subsequently recharge to ground water through specially constructed recharge wells. This techniques is ideally suited for area where permeable horizon is within 3 m below ground level. Recharge well of diameter is constructed to a depth of at least 3 to 5 m below the water level. Based on the lithology of the area well assembly is designed with slotted pipe against the shallow and deeper aquifer. A lateral trench of 1.5 to 3m width and 10 to 30 m length, depending upon the availability of water is constructed with the recharge well in the centre.

202 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 192 of 210 The number of recharge wells in the trench can be decided on the basis of water availability and local vertical permeability of the rocks. The trench should be backfilled with boulders, gravels and coarse sand to act as a filter media for the recharge wells. If the aquifer is available at greater depth say more than 20 m, a shallow shaft of 2 to 5 m diameter and 3-5 metres deep may be constructed depending upon availability of runoff. Inside the shaft a recharge well of mm dia is constructed for recharging the available water to the deeper aquifers. At the bottom of the shaft a filter media is provided to avoid choking of recharge well Parking in IMT Faridabad Due to the widespread development & exponential increase in the number of vehicles, parking problem has been witnessed at many places and it becomes a severe problem, if left unmanaged. Most of the parking is, in fact, being done on the road, which significantly reduces the carriageway width. Measures to be taken up by project proponent together with industrial associations, housing societies & other stakeholders to alleviate the problem, to some extent, would be as under: No encroachments on residential streets in the form of kitchen gardens/roadside private greens, large projections/ramps, etc. The road cross sections may be redesigned wherever possible to accommodate planned car parking along residential streets, and also to create more surface movement space. The RWAs will have to be called upon to participate in the process for addressing the parking problems in the residential areas. The Project Proponent would take adequate measures to address the parking problems. Details with regard to space allocated for parking in each sector are given in following table.

210 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 200 of Rehabilitation and Resettlement (R&R) Plan The aim of R&R plan is to minimize large-scale displacement, as far as possible. Only the minimum area of land commensurate with the purpose of the project may be acquired. Also, as far as possible, projects may be set up on wasteland, degraded land or un-irrigated land. Acquisition of agricultural land for non-agricultural use in the project may be kept to the minimum; multi-cropped land may be avoided to the extent possible for such 'purposes, and acquisition of irrigated land, if unavoidable, may be kept to the minimum. (a) Land Acquisition for Proposed Project In pursuance of the Government Notification No. 2/6/15-I-IB-II-06 dated , published in Government Gazette dated , u/s-4 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 (hereinafter referred to as the Act) and declared vide notification No. 2/6/15-I-IB-II-06 dated , u/s-6 of the Land Acquisition Act 1894 thereinafter published in Government Gazette dated , the government acquired 1784 acres 0 kanal 2 marla of land in villages Chandwali- 86, Machgarh-83, Mujeri-81, Navada Tigaon-84, Unchagaon-76 & Sotai-73 of Ballabhgarh & Faridabad at public expense, for public purpose namely for the development of Industrial Model Township in Sector-66 to 69 of Faridabad district. The award of above said land was announced on , & by District Revenue Officer-cum-Land Acquisition Collector, Faridabad. A sum of Rs crores was paid through LAC as compensation to the owners of the land. HSIIDC has taken the physical possession of the above said land on , & The details of award announced in respect of above land of IMT Faridabad by DRO-cum-LAC, Faridabad vide his office letter Endst. 1-6, 7-12, 13-18, 19-24, 25-30, dated The proposed development of IMT at Faridabad would be in adherence with the Master Plan-2011 of Faridabad, issued by Dept. of Town & Country Planning, Haryana, copy of which has been enclosed in annexure. (b) R&R Policy for Proposed Project Area under R&R policy has been earmarked in sector-69 in which three plots with area 9.6 acre, 6.6 acre and 14.8 acre respectively are reserved for residential use under R&R policy and exchange programme of released structures/ properties. The State Government has formulated a path breaking policy for rehabilitation and resettlement of land owners whose land is acquired by the State Government. Under the policy the developers are liable to pay Rs.30,000/- per acre per annum with annual increase of Rs.1,000/- per acre for a period of 33 years for the land acquired for setting up of SEZ, Technology City and Park. In case of acquisition by the State Government, the payment shall be Rs.15,000/- per acre per annum with an annual increase of Rs.500/- per acre. After the issuance of R&R policy in December 2007, instructions has been issued to all the departments to pay royalty to the farmers as per R&R policy. In order to ensure that the payment is smoothly released to the landowners, it has been proposed that an annuity policy may be purchased from any Insurance Company or a Bank so that they can directly pay the annuity to the farmers for a period of 33 years. Meanwhile, in order to ensure that the farmers get the royalty as per the announcement, HSIIDC has requested the Land Acquisition Collectors of all the districts where the land has been acquired by HSIIDC after 5th March 2005 to release the money to the Landowners upto 31st March The process of disbursement of money to the landowners is in process. 5.5 Management Plan for Handling Emergencies An important element of mitigation is the emergency planning i.e. recognizing that accidents are possible, assessing the consequences of such accidents and deciding on the emergency procedure both onsite and offsite, which are to be implemented in the event of an emergency. Emergency planning is just one aspect of safety and can not be considered in isolation. In particular, it is not a substitute for maintaining good standards within plant operations. Before

211 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 201 of 210 starting to prepare the plan, plant management should ensure that the necessary standards and safety precautions are in place. Hence, the overall objectives of a Disaster Management Plan would be To localize the emergency and if possible, eliminate it. To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property. (a) Fire Fighting Measures In order to ensure effectiveness in management of fire hazard, following instructions could be envisaged by housing societies, project proponent and other stakeholders. Inform fire brigade in the event of major fire. Evacuate area and fight fire from a safe distance or protected location. Approach fire from upwind to avoid toxic decomposition products. Stop leak before attempting to stop the fire. If the leak cannot be stopped, and if there is no risk to the surrounding area, let the fire burn itself out. If the flames are extinguished without stopping the leak, vapors could form explosive mixtures with air and re-ignite. Water can extinguish the fire if used under favorable conditions and when hose streams are applied by experienced firefighters trained in fighting all types of flammable liquid fires. If possible, isolate materials not yet involved in the fire, and move these from fire area if this can be done without risk, and protect personnel. Fire-exposed material should be cooled by application of hose streams and this should begin as soon as possible (within the first several minutes). Water sprinklers can be used to dilute spills to nonflammable mixtures and flush spills away from ignition sources. (b) Do not enter in the area of fire without wearing specialized protective equipment suitable for the situation. Firefighter's normal protective equipment (Bunker Gear) may not provide adequate protection. Chemical resistant clothing (e.g. chemical splash suit) and positive pressure self-contained breathing apparatus (MSHA/NIOSH approved or equivalent) may be necessary. Emergency Plan Project proponent is suggested to envisage the Onsite Emergency Plan for the proposed IMT at Faridabad, to maintain the Environmental Health & Safety, to the best conditions with following salient features: Designation & responsibility for contingency management as well as emergency response system to be made known to each industry in the IMT and their employees. Standard operating procedure for handling for specific accident and emergency to be circulated among industries and individual industry will also make their on SOP in this regard. Effective co-ordination should be made with the outside agencies, such as fire Brigade, Civil, Defence Hospitals etc. Every person directly or indirectly to be involved with the proposed industrial estate should be made known about the safety procedures.

212 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 202 of 210 Safety Checklist should be made by individual industries of various emergencies and safety of equipment, to ensure effectiveness of the system in place. Full utilization of available resources, internal as well as external should be ensured for handling emergencies. A multi-disciplinary team should be formed to handle emergencies. Adequate protective equipment should be kept in the unit. Communication meeting dealing with safety would be held regularly among member industries. (c) Emergency Organization Project Proponent is suggested to set up Emergency Organization for management of disaster, if any occurred, during the operational phase of the proposed project. There will be the Crisis Coordinators from the members industries. A Chief Coordinator will ensure the functioning of organization structure during emergency. The Chief Coordinator will organize a team responsible for controlling the incidence with the personnel under his control. Emergency Coordinators would be appointed who would undertake the responsibilities like fire fighting, rescue, rehabilitation, transport and provide essential support services. For these purposes, Security In-charge, Personnel Department, Essential services personnel would be engaged. (d) Emergency Communication Communication is a significant factor in handling an emergency. Communication includes physical and administrative means by which information with respect to emergency can be rapidly disseminated for off site emergency response. These also include emergency response actions, which must be taken to protect health and safety of the personnel and the public. Without adequate communication, successful emergency planning cannot be exercised. (e) On- site Plan The on-site protective actions include. Notification of emergency to all the personnel within the industrial estate by siren or alarm or public address system Notification for evacuation of personnel by based on the extent of emergency. Examination of evacuees for injuries and / or exposure to hazardous material. Search and rescue operations for missing persons. (f) Off-site Areas In the event of a significant emergency condition potentially affecting off-site population, offsite authorities should be immediately notified in accordance with the emergency response procedures. Prompt off-site notification is essential for mitigating the emergency condition and minimization of any impact on personnel off-site, particularly in case of an emergency occurring along the pipeline corridor outside the pumping station 5.6 Post-Project Monitoring Present study for EIA/EMP has been carried out over a shorter period and the data cannot bring out all variations induced by natural or by human activities. Therefore, regular monitoring program of the environmental parameters is essential to take into account the changes in the environment. The objectives of monitoring, therefore, would be:

213 Contract No. : HSIIDC: IA:2007:959 dt Page 203 of 210 To follow the trend of parameters which have been identified as critical; To ensure the efficiency of the controlling measures; To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact assessment study, which do not become critical through the commissioning of new installations or through the modification in the operation of existing facilities; To check assumption made with regard to the development and to detect deviations in order to initiate necessary measures.
