The objective of developing sector specific guidance manual for Townships & Area
Development Projects is to provide clear and concise information to all the stakeholders i.e.
project proponent, environmental consultant, Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board
officials and the public to have a better understanding on the relevant environmental aspects
in the initial stage itself. This manual covers the legal requirements, clearance process,
environmental standards and maintenance of statutory records. The manual will also cover
the environmental aspects due to Townships & Area Development projects. The project
proponent may use this manual to ensure that all the aspects of the environment due to the
project are addressed and adequate mitigation measures are planned in the environmental
management plan and he will be fully aware of the environmental process and
requirements. The consultants will have similar understanding of the sector and the
procedures involved, so that the quality of EMP reports will be improved. The reviewers
across the board may have same understanding about the sector and helps them in the
process of review and appraisal. Public who are concerned about Townships & Area
Development projects, will have information about the environmental aspects, standards,
regulatory requirements etc., and have a better understanding about the Townships & Area
Development projects.
The preparation of sector specific guidance manual by Rajasthan State Pollution Control
Board is in line with National Environmental Policy 2006, which emphasizes on:
- Formulate and periodically update, codes of good practices for environment for
different category of projects
- Ensure faster decision making with greater transparency and access to information,

Planning
Natural Resources
Depending upon the geographical latitude and sky conditions a precise analysis of the local
climate; surroundings, urban development and surrounding terrain in relation to solar
access, daylight availability and predominant air movement should be carried out. This
would control minimum distances to be kept between the built up volume and open spaces.
The design of the layout should allow for wind protection and solar access in winter, and at
the same time provide adequate sun protection and ventilation in summer months. The size
and density of the layout should provide desired comfort levels maximum from natural
resources. Solar path analysis and wind pattern assessment should be carried out in the
design stage that would help developers decide upon the alternatives for the type of layout
and the proportion of the built volume and open space in the layout.
The submittals should be provided only to indicate the optimized layout of buildings on the
site with respect to sun path and optimized solar access and availability of wind for natural
ventilation. Following are the factors, may be considered during the lay out design.
Open spaces
The proportion of open space and its built-up edges should be designed such that it ensures
winter solar access and summer ventilation. Vegetation may provide as shading and
promote evaporative cooling. In hot dry climates, evaporative cooling through appropriately
sized wet surfaces or fountains have a desirable effect.
Site planning is a vital component of any type of development activity and is the first
step. However, ideally the design team should be involved in site selection and
should assess the appropriateness of the site relative to the proposed development. Analysis
and assessment of the site characteristics in terms of its capacity to provide natural resources
inside the building such as light, air and water without damaging the natural environment
should be carried out during site selection and analysis process
Sustainable site planning is a critical phase of the green design process. When selecting a
potential site, you should look to eliminate or minimize the disruption of the existing
environment as much as possible. Using the topography of the site is paramount. This
allows for detailed planning that outline the existing and proposed design concepts to
include the home location, vegetation, land slope, setbacks, and other crucial factors
Cut and fill: Preserve natural slopes to aid natural drainage. The amount of excavation
should be minimized as far as possible. Removing or importing soil (also known as cut and
fill) adds to environmental emissions via the transporting of the soil. Furthermore,
rearranging the landscape may disturb the flow of water being directed away from the
project. This may affects the original contours of the surrounding areas
Landscaping: Preserve natural landscaping whereever possible and use vegetation of native
to the environment. Layout and form of the project must conform to the landscape of
the area without unduly affecting the scenic features of that place.
Land use distribution at scheme level: Land use distribution at scheme level shall be
planned while designing the project lay out.
Ambient environment quality in the region: Levels of air, noise and water pollution should
be surveyed and considered carefully before implementing the building design.
Development of Roads
Development of Drainage
Providing Water supply
Providing Power and Telecom facilities
Planting trees along with roads
Storm water management and Rain water Harvesting System
Street lights
Onsite management of waste: The following requirements are very important from
environmental consideration
Land acquired should be minimum but sufficient to provide for a green belt
wherein the treated wastewater, if possible/ suitable, could be utilized from wastewater
treatment systems
Adequate space may be provided for storing solid wastes. The space and the waste can
be made available for possible reuse in future.
Adequate space shall be provided for construction of STP
The water requirements for different types of buildings should be estimated as given in
Annexure 13
The garbage quantity needs to be estimated by adopting 0.5 kg/head for residential areas
and 0.3 kg/head for commercial areas. Other solid wastes anticipated are STP sludge, waste
oils, batteries, and bio medical wastes.
Construction Phase: The following should be considered during the construction stage:
Road construction
Storm water drainage construction
Other infrastructure
Material requirement and lead distances
Cut and fill quantities (excavation)
Disposal of excess cut material and or source of fill materials including lead distances.
Walkable streets
Street network
Access to surrounding vicinity
Heat island reduction
Water recycling
Composting of garbage and use of manure
Use of solar lighting and street lighting
Use of solar heating
CHAPTER 6
Good Practices
The local authority preparing a town-planning scheme or a development plan should see
that the local water bodies are preserved, and if dry, are activated by directing water-
courses appropriately. If required, the same should be enlarged, deepened etc
The water body should be protected by ensuring that no permanent/temporary
construction development takes place around it up to a distance of 50m from the edge of
water body and the same shall be suitably landscaped. Further, the public shall have
easy access to the water body the rain water run-off shall be suitably directed to
Recharging Wells in plots belonging to the local authority and of appropriate design
Tue local authority should encourage for collection of rainwater from roofs and terraces
and direct the same either to a storage tank or to a recharging well
Buildings having central air-conditioning plants requiring water for cooling purposes
may not be allowed to use fresh water for the purpose
Commercial or residential multi-storey complexes may use recycled water for flushing of
toilets. Separate storage tanks and separate distribution pipes shall be provided for the
purpose
For car, the minimum parking space to be 3m X 6m when individual parking space is
required and 2.75m X 5m when common parking space is required
Space for scooter/two wheeler and bicycle to be not less than 1.25m2 and 1.00m2
respectively
Area for each equivalent car space inclusive of circulation area is 23m2 for open parking,
28m2 for ground floor covered parking and 32m2 for basement
(Source: National Building Code of India, 2005)
Water from toilets is called black water (Sewage), while water from laundry, kitchens,
and baths is called grey water (sullage).
Grey water constitutes 70% of the wastewater, which can be treated by using simple and
cost-effective systems and can be reused for landscaping, external washing, and toilet
flushing. Reusing grey water can reduce the dependence on municipal and bore water
by up to 60%.
Dual plumbing system separates grey water and black water at the source of generation,
following which specific treatment options either for grey or black water can be adopted.
Separating grey water and treating it onsite for reuse reduces the volume of
the wastewater to be collected and treated and, hence, reduces the stress of public
sewage lines and centralized wastewater treatment systems.
A sub-soil dispersion system shall not be closer than 18m from any source of drinking water,
such as well, to mitigate the possibility of bacterial pollution of water supply. It shall also be
as far removed from the nearest habitable building as economically feasible but not closer
than 6m, to avoid damage to the structures. Under no circumstances shall effluent from a
septic tank be allowed into an open channel drain or body of water without adequate
treatment.
Energy labeling program is mandatory from January 2010 for the following products
Frost-free Refrigerators
Room Air Conditioners

Distribution Transformers
The Energy Conservation Act, 2001 (52 of 2001) empowers the Central Government under
Section 14(p) read with Section 56(2)(1) to prescribe Energy Conservation Building Code
(ECBC). The code defines norms and standards for the energy performance of building and
their components based on the climate zone in which they are located. In May 2007, the
Ministry of Power, Government of India formally launched the ECBC for its voluntary
adoption in the country.
The code is applicable to buildings or building complexes that have a connected load of 500
kW or greater or a contract demand of 600 KVA or greater. Generally, buildings or
complexes having conditioned area of 1,000 m2 or more will fall under this category. The
code is presently under voluntary adoption in the country. The code would become
mandatory as and when it is notified by the Central and State government in the official
Gazette under clause (p) of 14 or clause (a) of 15 of the Energy Conservation Act
2001 (52 of 2001)
The ECBC User Guide provides detailed guidance to building owners, designers, engineers,
builders, energy consultants, and other on how to comply with the code. It provides
expanded interpretation, examples, and supplementary information to assist in applying
ECBC during the design and construction of new buildings as well as additions and
alteration to existing buildings. This guide can also be used as a document by authorities
having jurisdiction in the enforcement of the code once it is made mandatory. The guide
follows the nomenclature of the code. It is written both as a reference and as an instructional
guide, and can be helpful for anyone who is directly or indirectly involved in the design and
construction of ECBC-complaint buildings
Energy audit studies in buildings have shown large potential for energy savings both in
government and commercial office buildings. Study of the available data has shown that
there is an urgent need for improved energy efficiency of buildings. National commercial
energy benchmarking initiative was taken up with a goal to establish a framework to
standardize energy data collection, baseline setting for typical commercial buildings,
energy performance target setting and monitoring, and use the information to improve
energy efficiency in buildings. This information can help the users and other stakeholders to
evaluate building energy efficiency and track improvements compared to other buildings
and recognize the top performers.
The Star Rating Program for buildings would create a demand in the market for energy
efficient buildings based on actual performance of the building in terms of specific energy
Rajasthan State Pollution Control Board 40

usage. This programme would rate office building on a 1-5 Star scale with 5 Star
labeled buildings being the most efficient.
Five categories of buildings office buildings, hotels, hospitals, retail malls, and IT Parks in
five climate zones in the country have been identified for this programme. Initially, the
programme targets the following 3 climatic zones for air-conditioned and non-air
conditioned office buildings:
To apply for rating of office buildings, BEE developed standardized formats for collection of
actual energy consumption: data required includes buildings built up area, conditioned and
non-conditioned area, type of building, hours of operation of the building in a day, climatic
zone in which building is located, and other related information of the facility.
Depending on the material and construction, a roof will have different properties that
determine how it conducts heat to the inside of the building. Cool Roofs are roofs covered
with a reflective coating that has a high emissivity property that is very effective in reflecting
the suns energy way from the roof surface. These cool roofs are known to stay 100C to
160C cooler than a normal roof under a hot summer sun; this quality greatly reduces heat
gain inside the building and the cooling load that needs to be met by the HVAC system
(Source: Energy Conservation Building Code (ECBC -User Guide, 2009)
Longer dimensions of buildings should face north and south (with a maximum deviation
of 50 off north) and shorter dimensions should face east and west. In multistoried
apartments, the sides having openings should face either north or south
A building designed according to solar path remains comparatively cool in summers
and warm in winters, thus obviating the need for artificial heating or cooling
For external lighting, 50% - 100% of outdoor lighting should be based on solar
photovoltaics alone or in combination with other renewable sources of energy such as
biomass
The switches used for outdoor lighting generally do not take seasonal variation or a
timer should be used that is sensitive to seasonal variations and adjusts on the basis of
actual length of day/night
Solar passive buildings are designed to provide thermal and visual comfort by using
natural energy sources and sinks like solar radiation, outside air, wet surfaces,
vegetation and so on. The solar passive buildings have potential to reduce energy
demand by 5% - 20%
Roof is the largest source of heat gain, especially in low-rise buildings. Hence, proper
treatment of roof is necessary to reduce heat gains during daytime. Treatment of roofs
provides comfort levels and reduces cooling loads inside a building. Thermally
insulating the roof reduces the U-value (thermal conductivity) for the roof section. All

Roof Top Rain Water Harvesting Through Trench With Recharge Well
In areas where the surface soil is impervious and large quantities of roof water or surface
runoff is available within a very short period of heavy rainfall, the use of trench/ pits is
made to store the water in a filter media and subsequently recharge to ground water
through specially constructed recharge wells
This techniques is ideally suited for area where permeable horizon is within 3m below
ground level
Recharge well of 100-300 diameter is constructed to a depth of at least 3.0 to 5.0 m below
the water level. Based on the lithology of the area well assembly is designed with slotted
pipe against the shallow and deeper aquifer
A lateral trench of 1.5-to 3.0 m width and 10 to 30 m length, depending upon the
availability of water is constructed with the recharge well in the centre
The number of recharge wells in the trench can be decided on the basis of water
availability and local vertical permeability of the rocks
The trench is backfilled with boulders, gravels and coarse sand to act as a filter media for
the recharge wells
If the aquifer is available at greater depth say more than 20 m, a shallow shaft of 2.0 to
5.0 m diameter and 3.0 5.0 meters deep may be constructed depending upon
availability of runoff. Inside the shaft a recharge well of 100-300 mm dia is constructed
for recharging the available water to the deeper aquifers. At the bottom of the shaft a
filter media is provided to avoid choking of recharge well
Annexure - 17
Water Quality Inlets
Water quality inlets (WQIs), also commonly called oil/grit separators or oil/water
separators, consist of a series of chambers that promote sedimentation of coarse materials
and separation of free oil (as opposed to emulsified or dissolved oil) from storm water. Most
WQIs also contain screens to help retain larger or floating debris, and many of the newer
designs also include a coalescing unit that helps to promote oil/water separation. WQIs
typically capture only the first portion of runoff for treatment and are generally used for
pretreatment before discharging to other best management practices (BMPs).
WQIs can effectively trap trash, debris, oil and grease, and other floatables that would
otherwise be discharged to surface waters (Schueler, 1992). In addition, a properly esigned
and maintained WQI can serve as an effective BMP for reducing hydrocarbon contamination
in receiving water sediments. While WQIs are effective in removing heavy sediments and
floating oil and grease, they have demonstrated limited ability to separate dissolved or
emulsified oil from runoff. WQIs are also not very effective at removing pollutants such as
nutrients or metals, except where the metals removal is directly related to sediment removal.
