The project activities include excavation of soil in the ROU for laying of the pipeline and construction of the pump station/delivery stations. Excavation activities ('dig-ups') undertaken to expose a section of pipe requiring repair or replacement. Excavations are generally performed for corrosion or stress corrosion cracking (SCC) repair activities, coating refurbishment work, installation of new anode beds and projects requiring new tie in facilities. Excavations usually occur on the pipeline easement or in designated compounds and are a short term, temporary event.. Movement of vehicles along the pipeline corridor and associated access tracks. Vehicles regularly travel along access tracks and the pipeline easement while undertaking inspection and maintenance activities. Theses unsealed tracks are predominantly located on station properties where public access is restricted.. Storage, use, collection and transport of hydrocarbons and chemicals. A variety of hydrocarbons and chemicals are used for maintenance activities (e.g. diesel fuel, lubricants for machinery, degreasing agents, paints, etc.). Waste hydrocarbons are also generated via the collection and removal of product contaminants in the pipeline (via filters or 'pigging' operations) and maintenance activities on machinery and vehicles. All waste hydrocarbons are collected and removed for 2

disposal at a licensed waste facility. All maintenance and collection activities are undertaken in accordance with APA procedures which include spill prevention measures. V. Operation and maintenance of the pipeline may result in potential adverse effects to soil and terrain like soil inversion and resulting loss in soil fertility or structure, erosion of disturbed sandy soils and the fine powdery sub-soils, particularly by wind, erosion of banks and channels of watercourses, compaction of soils and contamination of soils by oil or chemicals. t is considered that these impacts can be appropriately managed through the implementation of the mitigation measures like preserving top soil and restoration of the area to near original conditions after completion of construction, reinstating surface contours and natural drainage patterns, reinstating watercourse banks as soon as practicable and applying bank stabilization techniques as necessary, restricting the use of heavy machinery to the minimum necessary to complete the task, restricting vehicle use in wet or boggy conditions, monitoring for erosion, evidence of inversion and compaction and minimizing oil spills, chemicals and wastes in a manner that minimizes the risk of spills to the environment. Thus, the impact on the land environment during the construction phase is reversible and insignificant. During the operation phase of the project, the presence of the pump stations/delivery stations will be the only visible impact on the existing flat/barren topography. As the pipeline will be underground no impact is envisaged on the topography along the pipeline alignment during the operational phase of the project. V. The impact on ambient air quality is assessed hereunder considering the existing baseline air quality. The ambient air quality levels along the proposed pipeline corridor and around the pumping station/terminal stations are observed to be well within the stipulated standards applicable for residential/rural and sensitive areas. V. During the construction phase of the project, the major impacting activities includes, earth work excavation, embankment formation, handling, laying and jointing of pipelines - these activities would cause a general increase in levels of dust and suspended particulate matter in the ambient air. However, this increase in concentration would be of temporary nature and localized. Water sprinkling will be carried out for dust suppression. Movement of vehicles for transpm1ation of construction material and usage of diesel generators - These activities would cause a marginal increase in the levels of oxides of nitrogen, carbon monoxide 3

and hydrocarbons. The construction vehicles would have a valid PUC certificate and the DG sets would be provided with stack of adequate height. V. There will be no air emissions during the operation phase from pipeline operation. Thus, the impact on air quality during pipeline operations is negligible. Dust generation from light vehicles and activities associated with the maintenance and monitoring of the pipeline does occur. Minor emissions from the pipeline are likely at above-ground facilities during maintenance operations. Remote operation of valves (in the event of damage or programmed maintenance) uses Ethane pressure to drive valve actuators and will result in the release of small amounts of Ethane. Minor emissions from scraper stations will occur during loading and removal of the pipeline pigs, which would normally occur once every five to ten years. Fugitive emissions are extremely low from pipeline operations. The risk of pipeline ruptures or leaks is also extremely low due to the implementation of protection measures and the routine monitoring, inspection and maintenance that will be carried out. Given the isolated nature of potential emission generation, impacts on air quality associated with the pipeline are expected to be low. V. Activities related to transportation, operation of construction plant and machinery, operation of DG sets etc. add noise to the ambient levels. The noise levels due to construction activities are estimated to be around 70-90 db(a). Such onetime exposure is not expected to last for more than few weeks and shall not exceed the stipulated standards of CPCB. However, base camp will be established away from habitation area to reduce the noise impact. Major construction work will be carried out during the daytime. Noise generation is temporary and is restricted to construction site. X. Most of the pipeline S passmg through open area with sparse or negligible population within the pipeline corridor (200m on either side) it is expected that the noise exposure to the workers will be at levels well below the stipulated norms. mpacts of noise on surrounding population due to construction activities are expected to be insignificant and will be only temporary. X. Due to the proposed pumping/delivery stations operation, there may be marginal increase in noise levels in the immediate vicinity of the pumping stations. Such marginal increase in the resultant noise levels would not alter the noise environment significantly and in any case the noise levels beyond the pumping station boundary would be below the permissible limits. The nearest settlement 4

X. X. X. XV. would be at least 500 m away from the pumping/delivery station, where the impact due to proposed operations at the pumping/delivery stations would be very less. Thus no significant impact on the ambient noise quality is envisaged. The pumps will be provided with enclosures to reduce the noise. People working at the pumping station will be provided with PPE. There is an existing green belt at DMD where the pump station will be located, which will reduce the impact of noise due to operation of pumps on the surrounding areas around the pumping station/terminal stations. Most of the rivers encountered enroute the pipeline alignment are seasonal and will be crossed by open cut method. Horizontal Direction DRGPLling (HDD) will be used for all crossings involving perennial rivers and major lined canals. Block valves will also be provided at regular intervals to sectionalize the mainline and at major river/canal crossings. Due to these measures no impact is envisaged on the present water quality of the major river/canal crossing the pipeline alignment during construction phase. Hence, there will not be any impact on the river water quality of the major rivers and canals coming across the pipeline alignment. Drinking water required at the base camps during construction phase - The water will be made available through local supply system. The domestic sewage from the construction camps will be either disposed off into soak-pits/in consultation with local authorities. Wastewater generation during construction phase of the pipeline will be minimal and temporary in nature. Water required during hydrostatic testing of pipeline - There will be one time water requirement for hydrostatic testing. Efficient use of water will be made to reuse the test water in different test sections. Water will be tapped from different sources along the pipeline route, without unduly disturbing its normal users. The total water requirement during construction phase is 491 KLD. There will be a one-time requirement of 4,800 m3 of water per section of hydrostatic testing ( ~ 30 km). This water will be reused in different test sections to an extent practically feasible. The magnitude of impact on water environment during construction phase will be minor and temporary. The water requirement will be only at Pump Station at the starting location, intermediate ML V s, PSs and termination locations. For Pump station and M&R Station, water will be used from RGPL's respective manufacturing division plant, as applicable. Local water sources with due permissions from relevant authorities for ML V, PS & pipeline laying. 5

XV. XV. XV. XV. XX. The domestic sewage will be disposed off into soak-pits/septic tanks. Water required for ML V s, PSs and M&R during operation phase is estimated to be approximately 500 litres day per station, which will be primargply met by providing tube well at respective location. During construction, solid waste generated wi ll include packaging and wrapping material, stubs of spent welding electrodes, used rags and housekeeping waste from the construction camps etc. Site Contractors will be responsible for disposal resale of the wastes and these shall be disposed off at Municipality/ Local Body approved sites. All the non-hazardous wastes will be land filled or disposed off in municipality facilities at approved sites. All the hazardous wastes generated will be disposed off as per CPCB/State PCB guidelines at nearest TSDF sites. Recyclable wastes will be sold off to CPCB/ local PCB authorized vendors. Hence impact on the surrounding environment during construction and operation phase of the project is not envisaged due to solid waste generation Most ofthe river crossing will be resorted during dry season when majority of the riverbeds will be dry facilitating construction and minimizing impact. The impact in the context of biota and fishery resources in the area is not considered to be significant as most of the rivers are observed to be dry for major part of the year except during monsoon season. As explained earlier, at the perennial rivers/canals, Horizontal Direction DRGPLling (HDD) will be done to avoid the impact on the biotic environment. There will be no discharge of the wastewater to any water body from the pumping/delivery stations during the operational phase of the project. The impact of buried pipeline passing through the fresh water bodies would have least impact on the aquatic ecological status of these water bodies. The present land use of proposed pumpmg station/delivery station area is uncultivable waste type. There will be positive impact on the present land use as there will be structures and greenery on this type of land during the operation of the project. The impact on the land use along the pipeline corridor will be minimum and temporary as the excavated earth will be refilled back and efforts will be made to bring back the original land use of the area. After completion of pipeline construction, the ground will be restored to near original condition and handed over back to the landowner to continue their regular activities. All sites 6

used for temporary works shall also be restored and returned to the original landowner. XX. The proposed land of the pumping station is mostly barren land with less fertility. Top soil will be removed during the excavation for laying of the pipeline. This soil cover will be restored back after laying of the pipeline. Hence no negative impact is envisaged on the top soil cover all along the pipeline alignment. XX. The proposed activities will generate indirect employment in the region due to the requirement of workers in site preparation activities, supply of raw material, auxiliary and ancillary works, which would marginally improve the economic status of the people. The activities would result in an increase in local skill levels through exposure to site activities and technology. Residential/built-up land will not be acquired for the proposed pipeline; hence rehabilitation and resettlement will not be associated with the project. The pipeline is proposed to be laid in the RoU of existing pipelines. There will not be major changes in the land use pattern. The proposed project activities do not involve loss or disturbance to sensitive areas and cultural heritage. The proposal of the RGPL was scrutinized by the Technical Committee in its 16th meeting, which was held on 04-04-2015, wherein the representative of RGPL made a presentation about various activities to be carried out in the CRZ area, EA report prepared by the Bhagvati Ana Labs Private Limited, Hyderabad, and CRZ map prepared by the nstitute of Remote Sensing, Anna University, Chennai After detailed discussion and deliberation on the presentation made by the representative of the RGPL, during the presentation, the Technical Committee asked the RGPL to submit various details including existence of Forests land involved in the project The RGPL submitted details vide its letter dated 11-05-2015 and submitted that the pipeline will be laid across the CRZ area using horizontal direction drilling (HDD) Technique at least 5 m below the river bed and there will be no impact on the river regime. Regarding the existing forest land involved in the project, it is submitted that the project involved reversion of diverted forest land in RoU of existing pipelines, and a small section of fresh forest diversion, forest re-diversion (-0.9 ha) proposal submitted to State Forest Dept. on 3-Nov-2014 and fresh diversion (-0.2 ha) proposal submitted on 28-oct-20 14 Application are in advanced stages of approval process. 7

The representative of RGPL made a presentation before the GCZMA in its 26th meeting, which was held on 15-05-2015, and submitted that they have proposed to lay a pipeline of 440 Km (12 " dia.) from RGPL's Dahej Manufacturing Division, Gujarat to RGPL 's Nagothane Manufacturing Division, Maharashtra and 46 Km (8 " dia.) spur pipeline to RGPL 's Hazira Manufacturing Division for transportation of upto 1.4 MMTPA of liquid Ethane. Out of total 486 Km pipeline, approximately 256 Km passes through the State of Gujarat. The proposed pipeline passes through tidal influenced water bodies in Gujarat viz. Bhukhi, Narmada, Purna, Mindhola, Kim-main line and Kim - Hazira and it is falls under purview of CRZ Notification 2011. The total length of pipeline passes through CRZ area would be 4864m. Horizontal Directional Drill (HDD) techniques shall be used for laying of the pipeline across the water bodies, without disturbing water courses. HDD is a trenchless method with no impact in the river regime. There is no excavation in the river regime and possible in soft and hard strata. HDD would be started from outside CRZ Limit. Waste drilling mud and drill cutting will be disposed off at nearby TSDF. Construction camp will be located outside the CRZ area. No domestic solid waste /liquid waste will be disposed off in CRZ water bodies. Construction labours would be provided with septic tank and soak pit system or portable sewage treatment plants. Treated Sewage water will be used for dust suppression. All construction equipment will comply with the emission and noise standards. No construction activities will be undertaken during night time. The representative of RGPL submitted that the maximum overall risk due to the Dhej Nagothane Ethane Pipeline facility is found to be 1.0 x 10-5 /year, which is inacceptable region (ALARP level) as per HSE UK risk acceptance criteria. The societal risk for overall DNEPL pipeline facility is observed to be in acceptable region as per the HSE UK Risk acceptable criteria. The impact of thermal radiation on adjacent buried pipeline will not have potential impact due to adequate soil cover and separation distance. t was further submitted that installation of SCADA dedicated optical fibre cable based telecommunication system, leak detection system, Pipeline Application Software etc would be used as Risk Prevention and mitigation measures. Forests re-diversion (0.9 ha) proposal submitted to Forests Department on 03-11-2014 and for fresh diversion (0.2 ha) on 28th October, 2014 The representative of the RGPL submitted that the pipeline will be laid across the water bodies using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HOD) technique, wherein there is no excavation in the river regime. The pipeline will be laid at a depth of minimum 5 m 8

below the nver bed. Also, no domestic or solid waste, generated during the construction phase, will be disposed of in the CRZ water bodies. Thus, there will be no impact on the marine environment. t was further submitted that the Pipeline is the safest mode transportation of hydrocarbons. Being buried underground, there is no interference in the existing land usage. They have submitted detail analysis regarding waste drilling mud & drill cutting and also stated that, Bentonite (natural clay) in dry (powder) or slurry (mixed with water) form, a non-hazardous, environmentally friendly and non-toxic in nature, is used during the drilling operation to take ground cuttings out of the hole. Certificate from Bentonite Supplier M/s Trishul ndustries with chemical composition of Bentonite powder is obtained. t is submitted that the drill cuttings are also non-hazardous and are recycled and reused and it is proposed to dispose of the waste drilling mud in nearby low lying areas outside of the CRZ limits, in consultation with concerned authorities. The representative of the RGPL submitted that the proposed pipeline will be located upstream of the Kalpasar barrage at a distance of approximately 4.4 km and they are in the process of filing application for obtaining NOC from the concerned department. As per the CRZ map prepared and duly imposed for the proposed route of pipeline, prepared by the Anna University, Chennai, proposed activities falls in CRZ-(B), CRZ categories The Authority deliberated the proposal of Reliance Gas Pipelines Limited and after detailed discussion, it is decided to recommend to the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of ndia to grant CRZ Clearance for proposed Dahej- Nagothane Ethane Pipeline (DNEPL)Project of Reliance Gas Pipelines Limited at Dahej, Dist: Bharuch with some specific conditions n view of above, the State Government hereby recommends to the Ministry of Environment, Forests and Climate Change, Government of ndia to grant CRZ clearance for proposed Dahej- Nagothane Ethane Pipeline (DNEPL)Project of Reliance Gas Pipelines Limited at Dahej, Taluka: Vagra Dist: with the strict compliance of the following conditions: Specific Conditions : 1.
