62 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates EFFLUENT TREATMENT PLANT 1. Screening: Screening is the very first operation carried out at Effluent treatment plant. The main idea of providing screen is to protect the pump and other equipments from the possible damage due to floating matter in effluent water. After this, effluent passes to the oil and grease tank. Screening material is disposed off by dumping. 2. Oil and grease tank: These are designed to intercept most greases and solids before they enter effluent treatment system. Effluent contains small amounts of oils which enter into treatment facilities to form a floating scum layer. In this oil and grease are removed from the effluent and further passed to neutralization tank. 3. Neutralization tank: Dye effluent has higher ph that needs to be neutralized Acidic wastewaters can be neutralized with basic chemicals. Effluent is transferred to neutralization tank by the help of pump. Here lime is added to neutralize the effluent. A ph meter is placed in neutralization tank. 4. Primary settling tank: After neutralization tank, effluent passes to the primary settling tank. The primary settling tanks are designed to reduce the velocity of the wastewater flow for organic solids (called raw sludge) to settle. Scrapers present in the tank move continuously along the floor of the tank to deposit the raw sludge in hoppers for removal. The scum which floats to the surface is directed by water jets to the sludge sump. The raw sludge is then collected. Approximately 60% of suspended solids and 35% of BOD removal efficiency can be achieved at this stage. 5. Coagulation and Flocculation chamber: Coagulation and flocculation units are designed to reduce the pollution load by removing total suspended solids (TSS), and reducing BOD5 and COD (since some of the suspended solids are organic chemicals and have BOD and COD. In this chamber coagulant is added and flocculation takes place. After this, effluent is passed to collection sump. 6. Collection sump: In this effluent is stored. Sumps are used typically for collection and equalization of waste water flow. 7. Sand filter: After collection sump effluent is passed to sand filter for removal of suspended particles. This filtration system is used to remove suspended solids from water. Sand filter are used as per treatment system in RO plant (ROP). 8. Reverse osmosis: After treatment the effluent is sent to the reverse osmosis plant. In reverse osmosis, when high pressure is applied, liquid moves from high concentration to lower concentration. Reverse (RO) is a method that removes many types of particles from solutions by applying pressure to the solution when it is on one side of a selective. The result is it is retained on the pressurized side of the membrane and the pure is allowed to pass to the other side. Reject of the reverse osmosis plant is fed to MEE. 9. Multiple Effect Evaporators: Reject of the reverse osmosis plant is fed to MEE. Multiple Effect Evaporator is an apparatus for efficiently using the heat from steam to evaporate water to concentrate dissolved salts in the water. In Multiple effects Evaporator, water is boiled in sequence of vessels, each held at lower pressure than the last. As boiling of water Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 2: PROJECT DISCRIPTION 2.22

EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` CHAPTER 4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.0 PRELUDE This chapter identifies and predicts the potential impacts on different environmental components due to the construction and operation of the proposed project. It details all the potential impacts on biophysical and socio-economic components of the local environment due to the proposed activities and sub-activities. Prediction of impacts is the most important component in the Environmental Impact Assessment studies. Several qualitative and quantitative techniques and methodologies are used to conduct analysis of the potential impacts likely to build up as a result of the proposed development activities on physico-chemical, ecological and socio-economic environments. Such predictions are superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of the environmental quality to derive at the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The prediction and identification of impacts helps to minimize the adverse impacts and maximize the beneficial impacts on environmental quality during pre and post project execution. The proposed project would create impacts on the environment in two distinct phases: During the construction phase which may be regarded as temporary or short term. During operation phase which would have long term effects. The environmental impacts in this section have, as such, been discussed separately for the construction phase and the operation phase of the proposed project. The environmental impact assessment approach used to evaluate the proposed project comprises of three sequential elements. These are impacts identification, prediction and evaluation. The first step of the impact assessment process involves identifying the key issues associated with the construction and operation phases of the 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 involve determination of the incidence of benefit to user groups 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 of effects.

116 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` 4.1 IDENTIFICATION OF IMPACTS Identification of significant impacts for the proposed project is a prominent step in the process of environmental impact assessment. This provides a way forward to other elements of EIA study such as quantification and evaluation of site specific impacts exclusively from proposed project. Although, variety of concerns/ issues are identified while describing existing (baseline) environmental status, it is necessary to identify the likely critical impacts on various components of environment due to proposed project. For construction and operation phases of the proposed project the Network Method has been adopted for identification of impacts, which involves understanding of cause-conditioneffects relationships between an activity and the consequences/ impacts on environmental and socio-economic parameters for identification of significant impacts and has been found to be the most appealing tool. The idea was to account for the proposed project activities and identify the corresponding impacts, which would initially occur. The next was to select each primary impact and identify the relevant secondary and tertiary impacts which are induced as a result. This process was repeated until all possible impacts were identified. The greatest advantage of this type of approach is that it allows identifying the impacts by selecting and tracing out the events and consequences as they are expected to occur. The impact networks have been delineated for construction and operation phases of proposed project. The identified impacts for various components of environment, viz. air, water, land and socio-economic is presented below. 4.2 IMPACT ON AMBIENT AIR ENVIRONMENT During Construction Phase During construction phase, the sources of air pollution will be from site clearing, excavation of earth, vehicles movement, materials storages and handling and operation of construction equipment and DG sets. Pollutants from these sources are expected to result in temporary degradation of air quality, primarily in the working environment affecting construction employees. The nature of pollutants will be both gaseous (SO2, NOx, CO) and suspended particulates (PM10 & PM2.5). Particulate Matter (PM) which is coarse will have no impacts as this will easily settle down. Hence, dust and other emissions are unlikely to spread sufficiently to affect the surroundings of the construction site. However suspended spread of suspended dust depends on soil type and moisture content in the ground. Traffic to the site during construction will be more intensive and heavier than at present. It will subject the existing roads to more stress. The present road conditions are reasonably good for the proposed additional movement of vehicular traffic. However, the connecting roads to the project area need to be widened and paved to reduce the re-suspended dust concentration. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.2

117 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` The increase in air particulates would be minimized by the performance of the work. The construction contractor will visually monitor dust levels on the site during construction. Dust suppression will be instituted, using water tankers mounted on tractors, sprinklers and other means as necessary. However, the impacts on the ambient air quality during construction phase will be temporarily for short duration and reversible in nature and restricted to small area During Operation Phase Long term impacts on the air quality are anticipated due to operational activities. The baseline ambient air quality status in the study area during pre- monsoon season indicates that all the criteria pollutants (gaseous as well as particulates), viz., PM10, PM2.5, SO2, and NOx are well within the prescribed National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS set by CPCB). The processes involve burning of briquettes in the boilers. As a result, stack emissions would be constituted of mainly Sulphur dioxide (SO2), oxides of nitrogen (NOX) and particulate matters. The emission will be compared with CPCB standard. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.3

Site-specific meteorological parameters have been recorded by continuous monitoring. Short term 24 hourly GLC's incremental values were estimated using the sitespecific meteorological conditions. Model and Methodology for Computation ISCST-3 model version ISC v , which is a Gaussian-Plume atmospheric dispersion algorithm for estimating concentration of pollutant, has been used to predict the Ground Level Concentrations (GLC s) of PM, SO2 and NOx due to proposed plant activity. The GLC s were predicted on 24 hourly average bases keeping in view the prescribed national ambient air quality standards (NAAQS). Data used for Modeling The hourly meteorological data along with emission rate for individual pollutants used for prediction of air quality impacts as given in chapter 2 has been taken into consideration.

124 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` 4.3 IMPACT ON NOISE ENVIRONMENT During construction phase The noise generation will be considerable during construction phase of the project. Typical Noise sources during construction phases are mentioned in Table 4.4. The impacts during construction phase are temporary and will be marginal. Necessary mitigative measures are required to be implemented during construction period. The noise impact will be relatively more on construction workers during their duty hours, which will be mitigated to comply occupational exposure standard use of personal protective devices like ear muffs/plugs etc. will further minimize the noise impacts. Increase in the ambient noise levels will be temporary for a short duration and is reversible in nature. Workers will not be continuously exposed to high noise levels. Maximum noise of db (A) is acceptable for eight hours working shift for workers. Further to minimize these potential impacts, major construction activities would be scheduled during normal daylight working hours and would be implemented consistent with the applicable standards. The construction contractor will use equipments that are adapted to operate with appropriate noise muffling devices resulting in the least possible noise. Every effort would be taken to minimize the noise levels including the mandatory use of construction equipment with operable mufflers. Personal Protective Equipments (PPE) shall also be provided to construction workers. Noise levels can affect local resident amenities both during transportation and construction. By using standard practice of operation, these impacts can be minimized and made insignificant. There will be an increase of noise in the site up to 88 db(a). The nearest human settlement is almost 0.6 km meter away from the site; therefore incremental increase in background noise levels in these settlements will not be significant. Table 4.4: Increase in Noise Levels during construction phase due to operation of construction Equipments Increase In Monitored Predicted Noise Level Ambient Noise Level Distance Day-Time Ambient Due To Construction Due To (m) Noise Levels At Activities db(a) Construction Project Site db(a) Activities db(a) At site Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.10

125 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` Under the worst case scenario, considered for prediction of noise levels during construction phase, it has been assumed that all these equipments generate noise from a common point at an average noise level of 85 db (A). However, the resultant noise levels on proposed project site at 50m distance at peak level of construction are anticipated to be about db(a). During Operation Phase The impact of noise generated on the general population is expected to be insignificant. The impact of the noise generated on the human settlements in the study area will be insignificant due to sufficient distance of villages from the project boundary. Also, greenbelt, which will be developed around the project boundary, will work as noise barrier. During operation, the major noise generating sources are: Noise level db(a) Day time db(a) Night time Distance (in m) Boiler feed water pumps DG set Prediction of anticipated noise levels resulting from operation of the proposed project have been computed using point source model. A basic phenomenon of the model is the geometric attenuation of sound. Noise at a point generates spherical waves, which are propagated outward from the source through the air, with the first wave making an everincreasing sphere with time. As the wave spreads the intensity of noise diminishes as the fixed amount of energy is spread over an increasing surface area of the sphere. Point source propagation is defined by the following equation: Lp2 = Lp1-20 log (r2/r1) Where Lp1 and Lp2 are sound pressure levels at points located at distances r1 and r2, respectively, from the source. Predictions are carried on the basis, without taking into consideration any attenuation factors. Additional attenuation is expected, due to atmospheric effect or its interaction with objects in the transmission path. The effect of high noise levels on the operating personnel in the DG, compressor and pump rooms will also be considered and appropriate mitigation measures would be adopted. Acoustic barriers / shelters shall be developed in noisy work places or acoustic enclosures shall be provided for the high noise generating equipment. Noise suppression equipment and baffling should be employed on ventilating machinery, compressors and generators especially when they are operated in silence zone. Periodic maintenance of machinery should be undertaken to reduce the noise impact. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.11

126 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` Apart from that the processing and non-processing areas will also be segregated with the help of greenbelt, which will attenuate any impact on sound pressure waves on the people residing in the non-processing zone. The impact of noise generated from the various industrial units on their employees will be envisaged to be maintained within the prescribed statutory norms. 4.4 IMPACT ON WATER QUALITY During Construction Phase The magnitude of impact on water environment during construction will be minor. The water requirement for construction period is 5 KLD which will be met from AKVN water supply. Hence it would not impose any impact on water quality or quantity During operation phase Total water requirement of the plant is KLD. This requirement will be met from AKVN water supply. Thus there will be no impact on surface water quantity. Moreover waste water will be treated in RO and MEE which shall be reused for cooling, gardening etc. Indian Standard ( ) will be maintained for drinking water in the campus. Site shall be restored back to normal after construction and surface run off from site shall be channelized through storm water drains and utilized for ground water recharge. The project proponent will adopt good construction practices that will ensure least environmental impacts. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.12

128 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` 4.5 IMPACTS DUE TO WASTEWATER GENERATION During Construction The major source of water pollution during project construction phase will be sewage from labors. It is expected that at any given time during the construction phase, the peak manpower strength on construction site comprising of technical staff, clerical/supervisor, skilled and unskilled workers would be about 5 persons. Around 0.18 KLD waste water will be generated which shall be disposed off through septic tank. Thus there shall be no negative impact on environment During Operation phase Around 0.98 KLD of waste water shall be generated during operation phase. Generated waste water shall be treated in RO and MEE and reused. Hence no impact on environment is envisaged. The wastewater generated from the industrial activities has serious implications, if discharged into the water body and/or land without any treatment. The characteristics of industrial effluent are heterogeneous in nature and vary with respect to process and type of an industry. 4.6 IMPACT ON LAND ENVIRONMENT During Construction Phase a. Impacts on Land Use The existing land use pattern is non agricultural land and comes in a series under industrial development. The debris will be used in site filling and leveling. The zoning of the land is Industrial Area as of now as per the Regional Plan. There will be no change in the existing land use pattern by proposed project. The new building will be as per local land use planning. Development of green belt and other landscape on the proposed site would enhance the visual aesthetics of the area. b. Sub-soil Excavated soil shall be reused within the premises for backfilling, leveling etc. As soon as the construction will be over, all wastes from the site will be cleared with due care, meeting regulatory requirement, if any During operation phase During operation phase there shall be handling of hazardous MEE sludge and ETP sludge to produce desired product. Spillage or leakage in any form may destroy the quality of soil around the plant. Every precaution will be taken to prevent spillage. Solid wastes will be segregated and handed over to authorized vendor. Thus no impact is envisaged on soil environment. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.14

Waste is generated at different stages of construction process. Solid wastes like plastics, paper, card board, etc. shall be properly collected, segregated and disposed off suitably as per norms. The construction debris shall be used for leveling and base course preparation. Hence impacts due to solid waste handling will be insignificant, reversible and for short duration only for the construction phase. These impacts will be confined to the construction site only and no adverse impact on the surroundings is anticipated During Operation Phase During operation phase, there will be manufacturing of products. There may be impacts on land environment if there solid / liquid wastes are disposed in open land. However, very little impact is envisaged as biodegradable solid waste will be handed over to authorized vendor Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.15

Moreover there is no forest land or ecologically sensitive area in and around the project site. The existing land use pattern is Industrial land. 4.8 IMPACT ON TERRESTRIAL ECOLOGY During Construction phase Since the project plot boundary is having erected wall and has infrastructure, there will be very little damage on flora. Tree cutting is not required. Moreover there is no reserve forest and other ecologically sensitive areas like NPKs/WLS in and around the project site. However, little impact is envisaged on avifauna & other fauna and flora due to noise and air pollutants. However, green belt will be developed in phase manner which will act as noise barrier and led to aesthetic development. Air, water and noise pollution will be controlled to check impact on flora and fauna During Operation phase During operation phase, there will be manufacturing of various products. In the process of manufacturing there will be result in air & water pollutants and increment in noise level. Appropriate mitigation measures will be in operation to check pollutants. Scrubbers will be installed in boilers. Effluents will be treated in RO & MEE. DG sets will inbuilt mufflers be installed. So no major impact is envisaged in operation phase of the project. Impact on Flora Analysis of abiotic factors reveals that ambient air and fresh water quality will remain practically unaffected. Thus, indirect adverse impact on flora is ruled out. The floristic component of the study area does not include any rare or endangered species. Also the reconnaissance survey suggested no ecologically precarious habitats / vegetation types around the sites. Thus, impact on rare and endangered species of flora is also ruled out. Impact on Fauna The quality of ambient air and fresh water system will remain practically unaffected. Thus indirect impact on fauna, due to these abiotic factors is ruled out. The proposed activities do not envisage destruction of habitat and feeding or breeding area of faunal species. Further, there will be development of green belt in the project site to provide habitat, food and breeding areas to birds, small animals and insects. No rare or endangered species of fauna are reported to exist in the area. Thus, no impacts are envisaged due to normal operations. Thus, the environmental impact evaluation when carried out for construction phase as well as well as operation phase showed low score indicating negligible impact of the proposed site on the flora and fauna and on other terrestrial ecology.

The nature and intensity of impacts on different component of environment depends upon the type of project activities and geographical conditions of study area. a. Hazards to Construction Workers and Local Population During the construction period, the activities may result pond age in the dugout areas of the site. This has the potential for creation of mosquitoes breeding and spreading of vector borne diseases. There is possibility of impediment of temporary drainage by blocked silt traps or the ponding of water within foundation works. The project will give careful attention to the design and maintenance of earthworks and drainage systems during construction to avoid the creation of significant habitat areas for mosquito larvae. Larvicides will be used to prevent mosquito breeding in silt traps. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.17

Housing and Transportation of Construction Workers The project will facilitate maximum participation of the fair and equitable local work force for the construction. This will not only benefit local economy and employment, but also reduce the need to build temporary shelter and supply services. Majority of the labour will be hired from nearby villages so no housing or shelter facilities required for construction workers. However, the campsites shall be provided with minimum drinking and sanitation facilities for workers during working hours. This will result in positive impacts. c. Socio Cultural Impacts The project will contribute only marginally to the socio-economic development of the area at the local level. The land values around the project site are likely to be increased 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. d. Impacts on Physical Infrastructure The Proposed site falls under industrial area, hence the development shall be in line with land use pattern and no impact on surrounding infra-structure is envisaged. There shall be no impact on the existing physical structures. e. Employment Opportunities 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., thus indirectly constituting a moderate 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 IMPACT RESOURCES During Construction Phase Potential adverse effects from the use of non renewable resources are associated with the construction of the project components including wood, gravel, sand, steel, concrete and paper products. Electricity will be used during construction to provide power to construction equipment and for lighting of buildings and running utilities equipments. Electricity consumption will be kept at a minimum when possible by adopting electricity conservation measures. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.19

134 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates ` The project proponent will ensure that the contractor selected to construct the project will implement best management practices to conserve renewable resources. Resource utilization can be minimized by the following steps. Use of energy-efficient lighting; Lighting of only critical areas during non-working hours; Efficient scheduling of construction crews; Minimizing idling of construction equipment and vehicles During operation phase There is possibility of negative impacts on resources like water, soil, fauna if pollution load increases. The proposed project site is not inhabited and every techno feasible measures will be implemented to check pollution load. There will be positive impact human resource development through employment generation, industrial development, and transportation, communication and community health parameters and ultimately on economic development of the region. It has been estimated that the proposed project will develop direct and indirect employment opportunities. 4.11IMPACT DUE TO RAINFALL AND SOIL EROSION Soil characteristics, climate, rainfall intensity and duration, vegetation and topography determine the rate of soil erosion. Anthropogenic activities during construction can accelerate erosion by removing vegetation, compacting or disturbing the soil, changing natural drainage patterns, and by covering the ground with impermeable surfaces (pavement, concrete, buildings). To control soil erosion, no construction work will be carried out in rainy season. Provision for drainage will be provided in the project site for preventing water logging IMPACT DUE TO INCREASE IN TRAFFIC DENSITY Due to rapidly increasing traffic, industrial growth, and increasing levels of mobility, the existing road network to the project site as well as the state highways will experience more traffic density. Traffic to the site during construction will be temporary resulting during transport of personnel / materials / equipment. There will not be any closure or diversion of existing transportation routes for the proposed project. Presently, the traffic on the connecting roads is very limited. Hence, it can cater the load of traffic during the construction phase as well as operation phase of the project. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 4: ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS 4.20

There will not be any adverse impact on communication and transportation Residential/Built up will not be acquired for the proposed project and hence there is no displacement of population. No ecologically sensitive area is located within close vicinity from site. Negative Impacts There will be temporary negative impacts of the proposed project: During construction phase, traffic disturbances would occur. Air emissions and waste water generated shall be properly taken care off. Thus, no adverse impact is expected on sanitation and community health POTENTIAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT MATRIX This methodology incorporates a list of project activities with a checklist of environmental components that might be affected. Matrix methods incorporate environmental conditions on one axis and proposed actions on the other. The impact of each action on the various environmental components are filled in a tabular format to estimate the impacts in qualitative, insignificant, high, adverse, beneficial or quantitative by assessing a numerical score, which signifies the magnitude of the impact. The activities discussed above are likely to affect the environment in varying degrees. Relevant components of environment, which are likely to experience some impacts due to the project activities, have been identified. Environmental parameters are broadly classified under three following groups considering the cause - effect relationship: Physical Environment. Biological Environment. Non Biophysical Components (NBP). The parameters selected for impact identification are site activities and project specific.

EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates CHAPTER 5 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM 5.0 INTRODUCTION Environmental monitoring describes the processes and activities that need to take place to characterize and monitor the quality of the environment. Environmental monitoring is used in the preparation of environmental impact assessments, as well as in many circumstances in which human activities carry a risk of harmful effects on the natural environment. All monitoring strategies and programmes have reasons and justifications which are often designed to establish the current status of an environment and Prediction of the impact of future development and/or alteration in the operation and design of existing installations. Environmental Monitoring Network is operation phase of the project for monitoring of various environmental parameters like air, water, noise, soil etc. Since M/s. Meghnagar Pharmachem Pvt. Ltd. is the new unit usually, as in the case of the present study, an impact assessment study is carried out over a short period of time and the data cannot bring out all variations induced by natural or by human activities. Environmental Monitoring Program will be modified as per requirement after the proposed expansion. 5.1 OBJECTIVES OF ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN To comply with the provision of Factory Act & MSIHC Rules. To verify the results of the impact assessment study in particular with regards to new development. Identification of any significant adverse transformation in environmental condition to plan additional mitigation measures; if & as required To check or assess the efficiency of the controlling measures. To ensure that new parameters, other than those identified in the impact assessment study, do not become critical through the commissioning of new project. To establish a data base for future Impact Assessment Studies for new project. 5.2 IMPLEMENTATION SCHEDULE OF MONITORING MEASURES Monitoring should be done as periodically to understand the environmental condition of the site. The mitigation measures suggested in the Chapter-4 should be implemented so as to reduce the impact on environment due to the operations of the proposed project.

EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates 6.3 METHODOLOGY ADOPTED FOR QRA Consequences of loss of containment can lead to hazardous situation in any industry handling potentially hazardous materials. Following factors govern the severity of consequence of the loss of containment. Intrinsic properties: flammability, toxicity and reactivity. Dispersive energy: pressure, temperature and state of matter. Quantity present Environmental factors: weather (wind speed, wind direction, atmospheric temperature & pressure). Consequence analysis and calculations are effectively performed by computer software using models validated over a number of applications. Consequence modeling is carried out by PHAST (version 6.53) of DNV Software, UK. PHAST uses the Unified Dispersion Model (UDM) capable of describing a wide range of types of accidental releases. The Model uses a particularly flexible form, allowing for sharp-edged profiles, which become more diffuse downwind. PHAST contains data for a large number of chemicals and allows definition of mixtures of any of these chemicals in the required proportion. The calculations by PHAST involve following steps for each modeled failure case: Run discharge calculations based on physical conditions and leak size. Model first stage of release (for each weather category). Determine vapor release rate by flashing of liquid and pool evaporation rate. Dispersion modeling taking into account weather conditions. In case of flammable release, calculate size of effect zone for fire and explosion. The hazardous materials considered in this study are mostly flammable liquids Green Circle Inc.

154 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates 6.4 METEOROLOGICAL CONDITION The consequences of released flammable material are largely dependent on the prevailing weather conditions. For the assessment of major scenarios involving release of flammable materials, the most important meteorological parameters are those that affect the atmospheric dispersion of the escaping material. The crucial variables are wind direction, wind speed, atmospheric stability and temperature. Rainfall does not have any direct bearing on the results of the risk analysis; however, it can have beneficial effects by absorption / washout of released materials. Actual behavior of any release would largely depend on prevailing weather condition at the time of release. ATMOSPHERIC PARAMETERS The atmospheric parameters which are considered while conducting this study are as under: Atmospheric Temperature : 30 deg Celsius Average Wind Speed : 1.2 m/s and 5 m/s Scenarios Taken : 50 mm Leak of the Storage tank. Catastrophic Rupture of the Storage Tank Relative humidity : 60% Stability Class : E and F WEATHER CATEGORY One of the most important characteristics of atmosphere is its stability. Stability of atmosphere is its tendency to resist vertical motion or to suppress existing turbulence. This tendency directly influences the ability of atmosphere to disperse pollutants emitted into it from the facilities. In most dispersion scenarios, the relevant atmospheric layer is that nearest to the ground, varying in thickness from a few meters to a few thousand meters. Turbulence induced by buoyancy forces in the atmosphere is closely related to the vertical temperature gradient. Temperature normally decreases with increasing height in the atmosphere. The rate at which the temperature of air decreases with height is called Environmental Lapse Rate Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 6: QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT 6.9

155 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates (ELR). It will vary from time to time and from place to place. The atmosphere is said to be stable, neutral or unstable according to ELR is less than, equal to or greater than Dry Adiabatic Lapse Rate (DALR), which is a constant value of 0.98 C/100 meters. Pasquill stability parameter, based on Pasquill Gifford categorization, is such a meteorological parameter, which describes the stability of atmosphere, i.e., the degree of convective turbulence. Pasquill has defined six stability classes ranging from `A' (extremely unstable) to `F' (moderately stable). Wind speeds, intensity of solar radiation (daytime insulation) and nighttime sky cover have been identified as prime factors defining these stability categories. When the atmosphere is unstable and wind speeds are moderate or high or gusty, rapid dispersion of pollutants will occur. Under these conditions, pollutant concentrations in air will be moderate or low and the material will be dispersed rapidly. When the atmosphere is stable and wind speed is low, dispersion of material will be limited and pollutant concentration in air will be high. In general, worst dispersion conditions (i.e. contributing to greater hazard distances) occur during low wind speed and very stable weather conditions. 6.5 HAZARDS & DAMAGE CRITERIA OF MATERIALS DEFINITIONS The release of flammable liquid can lead to different types of fire or explosion scenarios. These depend on the material released, mechanism of release, temperature and pressure of the material and the point of ignition. Types of flammable effects are as follows. Hazards associated with Flammable materials a. Pool fire The released flammable material which is a liquid stored below its normal boiling point, will collect in a pool. The geometry of the pool will be dictated by the surroundings. If the liquid is stored under pressure above its normal boiling point, then a fraction of the liquid will flash into vapor and the remaining portion will form a pool in the vicinity of the release point. Once sustained combustion is achieved, liquid fires quickly reach steady state burning. The heat release rate is a function of the liquid surface area exposed to air. An unconfined spill will tend to have thin fuel depth (typically less than 5 mm) which will result in slower burning Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 6: QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT 6.10

156 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates rates. A confined spill is limited by the boundaries (e.g. a dyke area) and the depth of the resulting pool is greater than that for an unconfined spill. b. Flash fire: It occurs when a vapor cloud of flammable material burns. The cloud is typically ignited on the edge and burns towards the release point. The duration of flash fire is very short (seconds), but it may continue as jet fire if the release continues. The overpressures generated by the combustion are not considered significant in terms of damage potential to persons, equipment or structures. The major hazard from flash fire is direct flame impingement. Typically, the burn zone is defined as the area the vapor cloud covers out to half of the LFL. This definition provides a conservative estimate, allowing for fluctuations in modeling. Even where the concentration may be above the UFL, turbulent induced combustion mixes the material with air and results in flash fire. c. Jet Fire: Jet flames are characterized as high-pressure release of gas from limited openings (e.g. due to small leak in a vessel or broken drain valve). Boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE) or fireball: A fireball is an intense spherical fire resulting from a sudden release of pressurized liquid or gas that is immediately ignited. The best known cause of a fireball is a boiling liquid expanding vapor explosion (BLEVE). Fireball duration is typically 5 20 seconds. d. Vapor cloud explosion When a large quantity of flammable vapor or gas is released, mixes with air to produce sufficient mass in the flammable range and is ignited, the result is a vapor cloud explosion (VCE). Without sufficient air mixing, a diffusion-controlled fireball may result without significant overpressures developing. The speed of flame propagation must accelerate as the vapor cloud burns. Without this acceleration, only a flash fire will result. UNCONFINED VAPOUR CLOUD EXPLOSION Definition: Type of explosion in a liquefied hydrocarbons or other flammable gas cloud in a non-confined space (within and/or beyond the premises) Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 6: QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT 6.11

157 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates FACTOR AFFECTING FORMATION OF VAPOUR CLOUD Type of leaked oil- Lesser the flash point of flammable liquid, more will be the generation of vapor cloud Rate of leakage:- More the rate more will be vapor formation Wind velocity- more vapor formation may result due to heavy wind but the cloud will drift in the direction of the wind Type of enclosure:- A solid wall will hold more vapor as compared to a fenced boundary Type of nearby vegetation - More is vegetation near the leak site, more vapors will be trapped. More is the height of the plants; more will be the quantity of vapor trapped EFFECT OF UNCONFINED VAPOUR CLOUD EXPLOSION When the vapor cloud is ignited, following may result:- Blast waves Shock waves Fire Ball Multiple fires Above may causes huge loss of life and property and may also damage the onsite disaster mitigation resources making it an offsite emergency. MANAGEMENT OF VAPOUR CLOUD Don t switch off or switch on any electrical or heat generating source like DG and Compressor Any hot job inside or outside the station premises should be immediately stopped Declare station emergency and evacuate the station as per evacuation Stay upwind Try to close the valve by remote operation if leakage is from the valve otherwise isolate the oil supply to leak tank/piping/valve If not possible to isolate the valve by remote, wear BA set and close the valve locally. Don t try to approach site without BA set otherwise asphyxiation will lead to collapse and death When the clouds gets ignited causing an explosion, follow the management procedure Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 6: QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT 6.12

158 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates The formation of vapor clouds is relatively higher in spillages observed in lighter hydrocarbons i.e. MS, Naphtha and LPG. The formation of vapor cloud in crude installation (Terminal Station location) is expected due to spillage of crude oil in tank dyke area. The crude oil contains many low temperature boiling hydrocarbons (Hydrocarbons having high vapor pressure). Hence any accidental spillage of crude oil will result into evaporation of these lighter components from the crude oil. The evaporation will take place by removal of the vapors above the pool by the wind. The amount of vapor, which is removed, depends on: partial vapor pressure of the liquid, wind velocity, pool area and ambient temperature. VAPOR CLOUD FORMATION & ITS EFFECT When a cloud of flammable vapor burns, the combustion may give rise to an overpressure or it may not. If there is no overpressure, the event is a vapor cloud fire, or flash fire: and if there is overpressure, it is vapor cloud explosion. A vapor cloud explosion is one of the most serious hazards in the process industries. Vapor cloud explosions do occasionally occur and they are generally very destructive. A feature of vapor cloud is that it may drift some distance from the point where the leak has occurred and thus threaten a considerable area. Such types of vapor cloud find an ignition source and can create overpressure and blast effects which can cause severe damage at considerable distance from the source of leak. Green Circle Inc.

162 M/s. Meghnagar Pharamachem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates In order to form an opinion on potentially serious hazardous situations and their consequences, consequence analysis of potential failure scenarios are conducted. It is qualitative analysis of hazards due to various failure scenarios. In consequence analysis, each failure case is considered in isolation and damage effects predicted, without taking into account the secondary events or failures it may cause, leading to a major disastrous situation. The results of consequence analysis are useful in developing Disaster Management Plan and in developing a sense of awareness among operating and maintenance personnel. It also gives the operating personnel and population living in its vicinity, an understanding of the hazard they are posed to. SELECTED FAILURE CASES Earlier, it was the practice to select a particular item in a unit as failure scenario, e.g. catastrophic rupture of storage tank. Such selection is normally subjective on following parameters: Properties of material which are Flammable. The likely severity of consequence in the event of accidental release based on inventory, operated pressure & operated temperature. The probability of failure of storage tanks used in the tank farm. EFFECT OF RELEASE When hazardous material is released to atmosphere due to any reason, a vapor cloud is formed. Direct cloud formation occurs when a gaseous or flashing liquid escapes to the atmosphere. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 6: QUANTITATIVE RISK ASSESSMENT 6.17

EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates Whether these chemicals are within Threshold Limit Values (TLV)/Permissible Exposure Levels as per ACGIH recommendation. Ans. Chemical exposure Assessment will be done. Chemical exposure Assessment Programme is as given below. Industrial hygiene monitoring is mainly performed to provide information regarding the type and relative quantity of contaminant(s) present in the workplace. Air sampling is intended to evaluate and quantify exposure to hazardous substances handled by workers during tasks / activities within the occupational scenario. Based on the extent of exposure, appropriate hierarchy of controls will be implemented in Risk Control Plans to prevent adverse health effects associated with hazardous chemicals. The method of sampling varies depending on the type of contaminant, its chemical properties, particle size, employee work practice, job location etc. Gravimetric or analytical method is used for analysis of the sample that depends on nature of the sample. Personal and workplace sampling carried out for the analysis depends on the exposure. In pharmaceutical industry various processes are carried out and during operation ingredients become airborne. Hence workers involved in the process are exposed to the airborne contaminants. Air sampling analysis is carried out to know the exposure levels of these hazardous chemicals to the worker.

Occupational Health Programme is being developed. The Company is committed to promoting the health, safety and well-being of its workers, employees, visitors and contractors. The Industry will strive to develop and implement best practices in occupational and environmental hygiene principles. The Industry has developed and implemented a comprehensive Occupational Hygiene Program (OHP) devoted to the recognition, evaluation and control of those environmental factors, arising in or from the work place that may cause illness, injury, or discomfort. To help reduce the risk of hazardous exposures, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve working conditions, appropriate occupational hygiene practices will be applied to the Industrial operations.the Occupational Hygiene Program clearly defines and stipulates the responsibilities of all workplace parties involved in its development, administration and implementation of the program. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 7: DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.43

231 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT NO.:- GCI/V/MPPL/EIA/ /Sept/R00 The Occupational Hygiene Program includes the following elements: a. Organizational Commitment; b. Occupational Hygiene Process; c. Roles and Responsibilities; d. Training and Education; e. Annual Program Review; f. Definitions; and, g. References. Purpose and Scope The Occupational Hygiene Program provides information to departments, supervisors and workers to allow for informed decision-making regarding exposure to hazardous agents in the workplace. This program outlines how worker exposures hazards will be addressed in the workplace including the interpretation of technical data, conducting research, and assist in the development of guidelines and procedures that support workplace health and wellness. A hazard may be chemical, biological or physical in nature: 1. Chemical hazard - is any chemical capable of causing bodily injury or illness; 2. Biological hazard - is any biological organism that is infectious or pathological to humans; and 3. Physical hazard - arises from the interaction of matter and energy related to the science of physics such as sounds, light, vibration, and radiation that could result in an occupational injury or illness. Supporting Programs & Standards There are a number of occupational hygiene related hazards that have regulatory requirements. For these hazards, additional programs or standards have been developed and will work in conjunction with this program. These programs or standards include, but are not limited to the: 1. Respiratory Protection Program; 2. Hearing Conservation Program; 3. Laboratory Safety Program; 4. Indoor Environmental Quality Program; 5. Lock Out - Control of Hazardous Energy; 6. Personal Protective Equipment Program; Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 7: DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.44

232 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT NO.:- GCI/V/MPPL/EIA/ /Sept/R00 Occupational Hygiene Process To ensure occupational hygiene issues are addressed in a consistent manner, concerns will be handled according to the process outlined in Figure 1 (Progression of Occupational Hygiene Issues Flowchart). An explanation of this process is found in the following sub-sections. Hazard Assessment Formal Hazard Assessment & Control Process The document specifies the responsibilities, procedures, and requirements for proactively completing job hazard assessments. The occupational hygiene process is engaged when a chemical, biological, or physical hazard is identified on this hazard assessment. Reporting a Hazard Basic steps - 1. Hazard Identification 2. Hazard Recognition 3. Hazard Evaluation 4. Hazard Control Level of Risk A competent person must conduct the hazard assessment and include a qualitative evaluation of the risk associated with the identified occupational hygiene hazard. Hazards that pose an acceptable level of risk will not be addressed further. The criterion for determining if the risk level is acceptable is based on the potential health effects that would result from the quantities being used and the duration of exposure. If the substance/agent poses an unacceptable risk, or the risk level is unknown, further action is required. Can Hazard be controlled? If the hazard can be readily minimized or eliminated through the implementation of a control, the control should be implemented according to the hierarchy of controls in accordance. If controls are implemented, their effectiveness needs to be verified or monitored to complete the process. Walkthrough Survey Once it has been established that the hazard requires further investigation, Environment, Health and Safety dept. (EH&S) will conduct a walkthrough survey with the supervisor of the area. The walkthrough survey is not a site inspection but rather a technical review of the operations, workers, and materials in a workplace used to more clearly identify potential health hazards and help guide a qualitative assessment of their severity. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 7: DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.45

233 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT NO.:- GCI/V/MPPL/EIA/ /Sept/R00 The walkthrough survey should document the following: a. Name of department or process; b. Nature of operation; c. Raw materials and quantities used; d. Equipment and machinery used; e. Health hazards identified and routes of exposure; f. Controls present; g. Number of workers exposed and their position; and, h. Items for follow-up after survey. The walkthrough survey should also include a review of any prior walkthrough surveys, incident/accident reports, past monitoring data, and materials safety data sheets (MSDSs). Where relevant, interviews with workers and spot samples may also be included. Establishing Priority Where there are multiple hazards to be dealt with in the work area being assessed, it is important to assign priority in how they will be addressed so that those that pose the greatest risk or hazard are addressed first. The priority of addressing identified substances/agents will be based on the severity of health effects if exposure occurs, qualitative evaluation of exposure, number of workers affected, and level of existing controls. Exposure Assessment Sampling Strategy The information collected during the walkthrough survey will be used to determine what action is required to quantitatively determine worker exposure. A quantitative evaluation of exposure will require some degree of monitoring. The exact type of monitoring conducted will be determined by evaluating the: 1. Duration of worker exposure; 2. Number of exposed workers; 3. Sampling methods available and their limits of detection; 4. Degree of accuracy required in the results; 5. Number of samples required to achieve representative results; 6. Cost; and, Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 7: DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.46

234 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT NO.:- GCI/V/MPPL/EIA/ /Sept/R00 7. Regulatory requirements. Using these factors, Environment, Health and Safety will develop a sampling strategy outlining how, where, and the number of samples that will be collected. Environment, Health and Safety will work collaboratively with the supervisor to determine the best method for conducting the sampling. Where appropriate resources and equipment are available, internal resources may be used to conduct the sampling. External occupational hygiene contractors and resources may be required as determined on a case-by-case basis. Sampling Methodology Before sampling is conducted, the supervisor is required to notify their workers of the pending monitoring. If personal sampling is required, the workers must also be made aware that they will be required to wear sampling equipment. The workers are required to cooperate with monitoring and not intentionally contaminate collected samples. Sampling methods shall be conducted in accordance with the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) Manual of Analytical Methods or any other relavent standards. For sampling techniques that require the use of an external laboratory for analysis, only accredited laboratories may be used. Sampling Results and Assessment Where Environment, Health and Safety has conducted monitoring, the consultant will evaluate the sample results. Where the monitoring was conducted by another internal resource, Environment, Health and Safety will assist that resource in evaluating the results. When a third party is used to conduct the monitoring, the external occupational hygiene contractor will evaluate the sampling results. Environment, Health and Safety may perform a technical review and provide supplemental interpretation of reports prepared by outside contractors where warranted. Sampling results will be made available to the supervisor within 30 days of receiving the final laboratory analysis results. The results will be made immediately available if there is an excursion of an Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL). Written Documentation The final sampling results may be made available in report or memo format depending on the extent of sampling conducted. Where Environment, Health and Safety conducted the sampling, the consultant will interpret the analysis results and provide the written report or memo. Determination of Exposure Level Determining whether results from monitoring indicate an acceptable exposure level will be based on the Occupational Exposure Limits (OELs). Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 7: DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.47

235 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT NO.:- GCI/V/MPPL/EIA/ /Sept/R00 Where occupational exposure limits do not exist, other recognized standards and professional judgement will be used to determine at which point hazard controls are required. Where the exposure results are below the action level, the exposure level will be deemed acceptable. However, recommendations for controls may still be made to address workers comfort or due diligence issues. Where the exposure results are above the action level, the implementation of, or modification to, hazard controls must be made. Where an OEL has been exceeded, the affected worker is to be informed of the nature and extent of the excess exposure and immediately protected from further excess exposures. Where the exposure results cannot be clearly interpreted, further exposure assessment will be required. Implementation of Controls When recommending controls for identified and assessed hazards, the hierarchy of controls will be used; preference will first be given to Engineering controls, then Administrative controls, and lastly Personal Protective Equipment. Each supervisor is responsible for notifying the Occupational Hygiene Consultant, in writing, when the recommended controls have been implemented. The hazard assessment form must also be updated to reflect any changes in control measures. Additional Exposure Assessments To evaluate the effectiveness of a control, additional exposure assessments of the substance/agent may be required. If additional assessments are required, Environment, Health and Safety will develop a monitoring strategy and schedule. Additional exposure assessment may also be required after new processes, equipment, or products are introduced. Where additional exposure assessment is not required, no further action is necessary. Monitoring Schedules Monitoring schedules must be developed for substances/agents that cannot be eliminated and require additional exposure assessments. A monitoring schedule will specify the substance/agent(s) to be monitored, the frequency of monitoring, and how the monitoring is to be conducted. This schedule may specify continuous monitoring or periodic follow-up monitoring as a means to evaluate the applicable operation. The affected department/supervisor and Environment, Health and Safety will keep a copy of the monitoring Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 7: DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN 7.48

239 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT REPORT REPORT NO.:- GCI/V/MPPL/EIA/ /Sept/R00 Chemical Hazard: is any chemical capable of causing bodily injury or illness. Engineering Control: Encompasses the use of process change, substitution, isolation, ventilation and source modification in order to control worker exposures by reducing the quantity of contaminants released into the workplace. Examples include chemical fume hoods, biological safety cabinets, interlock systems, automated systems, etc. Hazard: is a situation, condition, process, material or thing that may cause an injury or illness to a worker. Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDSs): are technical bulletins which provide detailed hazard and precautionary information on a controlled product. Occupational Exposure Limit (OEL): Refer to the definition of Threshold Limit Value (TLV). Personal Protective Equipment (PPE): Involves the use of devices designed to protect individuals from hazards in the workplace. Examples include gloves, goggles or safety glasses, hearing protection, steel-toed shoes, lab coats, etc. Physical Hazard: arises from the interaction of matter and energy related to the science of physics such as sounds, light, vibration, and radiation that could result in an occupational injury or illness. Route of Exposure: the way in which a substance/agent enters the body. The four primary routes of exposure/entry are inhalation, absorption (through skin and eyes), ingestion and injection. Supervisor: an individual that directs or oversees a person, group, department, organization, or operation. Threshold Limit Value (TLV): a term used by ACGIH to express the airborne concentration of a material to which nearly all persons can be exposed day after day, without adverse effects. A maximum limit of exposure to an air contaminant. Three types of limits in common use are: Exposure Limit - TWA - The Time-Weighted Average concentration for a normal 8-hour work day or 40-hour work week to which nearly all workers can be repeatedly exposed without adverse effect. Exposure Limit - STEL - The Short-Term Exposure Limit, i.e. the maximum concentration to which workers can be periodically exposed for a period up to 15 minutes without suffering from irritation, chronic or irreversible tissue change, or narcosis of sufficient degree to increase accident proneness, or impair ability for self-rescue. Exposure Limit - C - The Ceiling concentration of an airborne substance that must not be exceeded at any time. This limit is applied to substances that are predominantly irritant or fast-acting and for which the TWA is inappropriate. Walkthrough Survey: a technical review of the operations, workers, and materials in a workplace used to more clearly identify potential health hazards and help guide a qualitative assessment of their severity.

Once an EMP has been approved, it should provide the basis for environmental considerations of all the activities carried out on the site by the appointed personnel. With respect to the various environmental impacts identified during the EIA stage, mitigation measures to prevent or minimize the impacts are suggested for all the environmental components. The environmental management plan for the proposed project aims to mitigate the potentially detrimental impacts on the environment, both during construction and operation phases of the project. It is also necessary that continued compliance with existing environmental regulations is ensured. The construction and associated activities have been planned so as to minimize impacts on the physical, biological and socio-economic-cultural environments. Even though it would be naive to expect that all detrimental impacts can be avoided, it is apparent that most of the impacts will be localized and temporary in nature. 8.3 ENVIRONMENTAL OBJECTIVES While developing an EMP within the framework of an EMS, it is imperative to have clear environmental objectives and delineate them. The key environmental management objectives for this project are to avoid significant adverse environmental impacts and to ensure that where impacts do occur they are mitigated. In addition, the project proponent aims to meet the following specific objectives. To adopt construction and operational methods that will limit environmental degradation. To protect physical environmental components such as air, water and soil. To conserve terrestrial and aquatic flora and fauna. Green Circle Inc. CHAPTER 8: ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN 8.2

257 M/s. Meghnagar Pharama Chem Pvt. Ltd. EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates The proposed project would create impacts on the environment in two distinct phases: Phase 1: Phase 2: During the construction phase which may be regarded as temporary or short term. During the operation phase which will have marginal impact. 8.6 EMP FOR CONSTRUCTION PHASE Environmental impacts during the construction phase can be attributed to the site preparation, excavation of trenches, erection & mechanical fabrication, construction activities, transportation etc. and provision of civic amenities to the construction workforce. The potential for environmental impact during construction phase on most of the environmental components are temporary, and the environment returns back to its previous status on completion of the construction. State of the art technology will be adopted for control of pollution during project execution phase, whenever and wherever applicable. All construction activities generally cause disruptions to the pre project environmental quality. The following environmental protection measures should be incorporated as part of terms and conditions of contract for implementation by the contractor or the authority as appropriate. Recommendations made to minimize impacts during construction phase are delineated below: Basic Engineering Control Measures The primary aim of the environment management plan is to eliminate environmental impacts during designing wherever possible or minimize the risks through best engineering controls. The measures that can be integrated into design, construction and operation for proposed project can be broadly defined as: Reducing possibility of leakage or spillover that could result in losses. Surveillance to ensure that, in the highly unlikely event that a loss should occur, it would be quickly detected. Developing effective response plans to contain any losses and to prevent damage resulting from any damage. Incorporate drainage and minimize disturbance to natural drainage pattern, engineer slopes and drainages to minimize erosion.

EIA Report for Proposed Manufacturing of Dyes & Intermediates Roadside Plantation Roadside plantation plays a very important role for greening the area, increasing the shady area, increasing aesthetic value and for eco-development of the area. The approach roads to project site will be planted with flowering trees. Trees should be planted to increase aesthetic value as well as shady area along the roads. Each plant shows different air pollution tolerance level depending upon number of factors. The trees should be tolerant to air pollutants present in the area & should be able to grow and thrive on soil of the area, be evergreen, inhabitant, having minimum of leaf fall. The trees should be tall in peripheral curtain plantation and with large and spreading canopy in primary and secondary attenuation zone. It is also recommended to plant few trees, which are sensitive to air pollution as air pollution indicator Odour Management Plan Odour Problem and Sources of Emissions Causes of odour can be bad sanitation, bacterial growth in the interconnecting pipes & unattended drains etc. Remedial Measures Better management to avoid staling. Use of sanitation biocides to minimize the growth of aerobic/anaerobic micro organisms. Steaming of major pipe lines. Proper cleaning of drains. Regular use of bleaching powder in the drains to avoid growth of sulphur decomposing micro-organisms to control H2S generation. Following Additional methods can also be used to reduce odour nuisance: Green belt development in the buffer zone may help at least partially to mitigate / obfuscate the odour. Ensuring that the operation is carried out under the best management practices. If still the odour persists Nozzles, sprayers and atomizers that spray ultra-fine particles of water or chemicals can be used along the boundary lines of area sources to suppress odour Safety measures to prevent the Occupational Health Hazards Pollution Control system should be installed.

Dry chemical or CO2. Water spray or fog. DO NOT EXTINGUISH A LEAKING GAS FIRE UNLESS LEAK CAN BE STOPPED. Do not use halogenated extinguishing agents or foam. Carbon oxides. Hydrocarbons. Nitrogen oxides (NOx). Amines. Explosion Data Sensitivity to Mechanical Impact Sensitivity to Static Discharge Specific Hazards Arising from the Chemical Protective Equipment and Precautions for Firefighters None Yes Rapid flame propagation and flashback possible. Will form explosive mixtures with air. If water is used as an extinguishing media, recognize that aqueous solutions are also flammable unless extensively diluted. Continue to cool fire exposed cylinders until flames are extinguished. Cylinders may rupture under extreme heat. Damaged cylinders should be handled only by specialists. If possible, stop the flow of gas. Do not extinguish the fire until supply is shut off as otherwise an explosive-ignition may occur. If the fire is extinguished and the flow of gas continues, use increased ventilation to prevent build-up of explosive atmosphere. Ventilation fans must be explosion proof. Use non-sparking tools to close container valves. Isolate spill or leak area for at least 100 meters (330 feet) in all directions. Vapors from liquefied gas are initially heavier than air and spread along ground. Vapors may accumulate in confined areas (basement, tanks, hopper/tank cars, etc.). Vapors may travel to source of ignition and flash back. For massive fire, use unmanned hose holders or monitor nozzles; if this is impossible withdraw from area and let fire burn. Use water spray to cool surrounding containers. Be cautious of a Boiling Liquid Evaporating Vapor Explosion, BLEVE, if flame is impinging on surrounding containers. As in any fire, wear self-contained breathing apparatus pressure-demand, MSHA/NIOSH (approved or equivalent) and full protective gear. Corrosive hazard. Wear protective gloves/clothing and eye/face protection. Anhydrous material will float and boil on water as it mixes. Dike corrosive waters from firefighting for later neutralization and/or disposal. 6. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES Personal Precautions Environmental Precautions Methods for Containment Methods for Cleaning Up ELIMINATE all ignition sources (no smoking, flares, sparks or flames in immediate area). Evacuate personnel to safe areas. Keep people away from and upwind of spill/leak. All equipment used when handling the product must be grounded. Wear self-contained breathing apparatus when entering area unless atmosphere is proved to be safe. Monitor oxygen level. Use water spray to reduce vapors or divert vapor cloud drift. Avoid allowing water runoff to contact spilled material. Prevent spreading of vapors through sewers, ventilation systems and confined areas. Stop the flow of gas or remove cylinder to outdoor location if this can be done without risk. If leak is in container or container valve, contact the appropriate emergency telephone number in Section 1 or call your closest Linde location. Return cylinder to Linde or an authorized distributor.

335 MONOMETHYLAMINE, Material Safety Data Sheet, Revision Date 02-Sep-2010, Page 4 / HANDLING AND STORAGE Handling Ground and bond all lines and equipment associated with product system. All equipment should be non-sparking and explosion proof. Remove all sources of ignition. Wear personal protective equipment. Use only in ventilated areas. Do not breathe vapors or spray mist. Avoid contact with skin, eyes and clothing. "NO SMOKING" signs should be posted in storage and use areas. Carbon steel, stainless steel and Monel are acceptable for use with this amine. Most other metals are not compatible-particularly silver, copper and its alloys, tin, nickel, and zinc and its alloys. Lead is preferred gasket material. Natural rubber, Buna S, Buna N and cellulose acetate are not acceptable plastics or elastomers to use. Never attempt to lift a cylinder by its valve protection cap. Protect cylinders from physical damage; do not drag, roll, slide or drop. When moving cylinders, even for short distance, use a cart designed to transport cylinders. Use equipment rated for cylinder pressure. Use backflow preventive device in piping. Use an adjustable strap wrench to remove over-tight or rusted caps. Never insert an object (e.g. wrench, screwdriver, pry bar,etc.) into valve cap openings. Doing so may damage valve, causing leak to occur. If user experiences any difficulty operating cylinder valve discontinue use and contact supplier. Never put cylinders into trunks of cars or unventilated areas of passenger vehicles. Never attempt to refill a compressed gas cylinder without the owner's written consent. Never strike an arc on a compressed gas cylinder or make a cylinder a part of an electrical circuit. Storage Outside or detached storage is preferred. Protect from physical damage. Cylinders should be stored upright with valve protection cap in place and firmly secured to prevent falling. Store in cool, dry, wellventilated area of non-combustible construction away from heavily trafficked areas and emergency exits. Keep at temperatures below 52 C / 125 F. Full and empty cylinders should be segregrated. Use a "first in-first out" inventory system to prevent full cylinders from being stored for excessive periods of time. Always store and handle compressed gas cylinders in accordance with Compressed Gas Association, pamphlet CGA-P1, Safe Handling of Compressed Gases in Containers. 8.

Sodium peroxide or potassium peroxide is spontaneouly flammable with aniline. When heated to decomposition it emits toxic fumes. Special Remarks on Explosion Hazards: Spontaneously explosive reactions occur with benzenediazonium -2-carboxylate, dibenzoyl peroxide, fluorine nitrate, nitrosyl perchlorate, red fuming nitric acid, peroxodisulfuric acid, and tetranitromethane. Addition of a drop of aniline to 1 gram of dibenzoyl peroxide leads to mildly explosive decompostion after a short delay. Addition of aniline to nitromethane renders it susceptible to initiation by a detonator. Anililne reacts with perchloric acid, and then formaldehyde to produce explosive and combustible condensed resin. p. 2
