& Maximum temperatures were also recorded during the study period.
1.4 AIR ENVIRONMENT
An area covering 10 km radial distance surrounding the proposed site for the development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III was identified as study area (Impact Zone). The
topographical information of the project site, study area, and the details of different activities
related to the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, were collected. Air
pollutants like PM10 m, PM2.5 m, SO2, NOX, Ozone (O3) and Carbon monoxide (CO) were
identified as related to the project activities for representing baseline status of ambient air
quality within the study area.
Pre-calibrated Respirable / Fine Dust Samplers (APM 460 BL for PM10m and APM 550 for
PM2.5m) were used for monitoring the air pollutants. The Ozone (O3) and Carbon monoxide
(CO) was also monitored as per the standard procedures and methods during the period of
study.
Modeling of air quality predictions was carried out using AERMOD, a licensed version from
Lakes Environment.
1.5 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Excessive noise levels cause adverse effects on human beings and the associated environment
including domestic animals, wild life, natural eco-system, and structures. Hence noise survey is
carried out at the proposed site and nearby villages. Noise levels (A-Weighted) were measured

using LUTRON SL-4001 precision sound level meter. The principle of propagation of sound
waves was used to estimate the noise levels at all monitoring locations.
1.6 WATER ENVIRONMENT

2.10 ROAD NETWORK
As the industrial area is adjacent to the National Highway 4, a 30 m wide central roa d with
median is proposed for main entry into the layout. For smooth flow of traffic in the layout 18 m
wide roads are proposed as arterial roads.
2.11 TRAFFIC PROJECTION
The transport dema nd is a function of land use. The land use will be developed in phases and it
has been taken from the approved plan of Industrial area and it will be used for traffic demand
projections. Some broad assumptions have also been made about trip generating potential of
the various land uses in different horizon years. The attraction to the study area from

surrounding areas is based on assumptions. Some of the broad assumptions are as follows
Total estimated manpower: 145000 for 3 shifts
Each shift = 145000 /3 = 48333 for all vehicles.
I. 95% of 48333 = 45918 manpower will be coming to the companies by walk from nea rby
areas
II. 5 % of 48333 = 2416 manpower will be coming through Company, Govt & Other Private
vehicles.
In IInd part of 5 %; It was assumed that 30% busses (53.65 PCU/hr); 2% Lorries (177.6
PCU/hr); 10% cars (60 PCU/hr):30% autos (206 PCU/hr); 28% two wheelers (253.5 PCU/hr)
will be coming daily to the IA.
Total PCU/hr = 750.75 say 751
2.12 EFFLUENT CONVEYANCE SYSTEM
Sewage generation from the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, has been
assumed as 90% of the domestic water demand. Sewage and industrial effluents will be
collected through separate network of pipes planned along either sides of road. From the pipes
sewage and industrial effluents will reach Common Effluent & Sewage Treatment Plants for
treatment & disposal. Tertiary treated water will be supplied to the cooling towers for member
industries and for gardening purpose.
2.13 COMMON WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Appropriate area of land has been earma rked for CETP & CSTP in the proposed site of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. The CETP & CSTP will be designed based on the
effluent characteristics and quantity. Adequate treatment units will be provided to ensure that
the treated effluent meets the prescribed CPCB/SPCB standards.
The member industries will also treat their effluents preliminarily to meet the stipulate
standard as prescribed by the CETP/CSTP which are constructing in the industrial area of Stage
II & Stage III.
2.14 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The ground is very undulating & terrain is flat with a gentle slope. While designing storm water
drainage system, all these factors will be considered. Storm water drains will be planned along

the sides of the roads to collect the surface run off water from the roads and make a plan that
the surface water from the drains will be led into natural valleys.
2.15 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
All industries coming up in the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, if
required will utilize the services of the Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility
(CHWMF) which already exists in the near Dobaspet on NH 207. All the hazardous waste from
member industries will be transported to CHWMF facility for treatment and for further safe
disposal as per the statutory requirement and procedures. Safe storage and transportation of
the produced solid and hazardous waste is the total responsibility of the member industry.
further hand over to the authorized facility for treatment and disposal by the member
industries & by the developer.

CHAPTER 3
Description of the Environment
3.1 PREAMBLE
The existing environmental status for various/environmental attributes within 10 km

radius from the proposed project has been studied. To compute the impacts that are
likely to arise due to the proposed activities of the proposed project. The proposed
project as the center, a radial distance of 10 Km is considered as study area for data
collection and environmental monitoring.
The scope of the existing studies includes detailed characterization of following
environmental components, which are most likely to be influenced by the proposed
project.
Meteorological conditions
Ambient Air Quality
Noise Levels
Water Quality (Surface + Ground water)
Soil Quality
3.2 STUDY AREA
The proposed project site comprises of semi urban and rural environment. The area
earmarked for the proposed project is about 1158.15 Ha (2861. 84 acre) of land.
Presently the land is barren with degraded shrub in most of the area, while some land is
also covered by agricultural activity.

3.3. METEOROLOGICAL CONDITIONS

The study of meteorological conditions forms an intrinsic part of the study. The
meteorological conditions of the study area around the proposed project are both
intertwined each other and each has a definite influence over the other.
3.3.1 Climate
The climate in the study region is generally hot and humid and summary of the seasons
given below.
Winter December to February (Cool, most pleasant weather)

Summer March to May (Warm Summer, Hot and humid)
Rainy June to September (Heavy rains, high humidity)
Post Monsoon October to November (Relatively warm, No rains)
3.3.2 Meteorological Scenario of the Study Area
Regional meteorological scenario helps to understand the trends of the climatic factors.
It also helps in determining the sampling stations in predicting the post project
environmental scenario. Meteorological Scenario exerts a critical influence on Air Quality
as the pollution arises from the interaction of atmospheric contaminants with adverse
meteorological conditions such as temperature inversions, atmospheric stability and
topographical features like hills, canyons and valleys.
The critical weather elements that influence air pollution are wind speed, wind direction,
temperature, which together determines atmosphere stability. Hence it is an
indispensable part of any air pollution studies and required for interpretation of base line
information. The details of the temperature, relative humidity and rainfall observed in
during the study period (Winter Season) from December 2012 to February 2013) are
given in Table 3.1.

3.4. STUDY PERIOD
The study was carried out during the months of December - 2012, January -2013 and
February - 2013 representing Winter Season (2012-13). The wind pattern of the study
area was collected through Primary & Secondary data.
Wind speed and direction data recorded during the study period is useful in identifying
the influence of meteorology on the air quality of the area. Based on the meteorological
data wind roses that is the diagrammatic representation of wind speed and wind
direction along with their persistence for a fractional period of occurrence at a given
location is constructed. Wind Speed, Wind Direction were recorded on hourly basis for
the total study period. Wind roses on sixteen-sector basis (N, NNE, NE, ENE, E, ESE, SE,
SSE, S, SSW, SW, WSW, W, WNW, NW, and NNW) have been drawn for 00-24 hours.
Wind directions and wind speed frequency observed during study period has been
observed.
The baseline data generation of Air, Noise, Water (Ground and Surface water), Soil, Flora
& Fauna, with respect to meteorological conditions were carried out during the study
period. Secondary meteorological data (IMD Tumkur) has been collected which is 20 Km
away from the project site and cross checked with the primary data which has been
recorded in the project site during the period of study.
3.4.1 Wind pattern
The meteorological data-recorded for 00-24 hours with hourly interval with reference to
wind speed and wind direction and the average data is tabulated in Tables 3.2 to 3.5. The
wind rose diagrams for the months of December - 2012, January -2013 and February

3.5 AIR ENVIRONMENT

3.5.1 Ambient Air Quality
The ambient air quality was monitored in the impact area as per the guidelines
prescribed by the MoEF. The prime objective of the existing air quality study was to
assess the base line ambient air quality within 10 Km radius from the proposed project.
3.5.2 Methodology adopted for the Study

The existing status of the ambient air quality has been assessed through a scientifically
designed ambient air quality network. The design of monitoring network in the air quality
surveillance programme has been based on the following considerations:
Meteorological parameters on synoptic scale

Topography of the study area
Representatives of regional background air quality for obtaining existing status
Representatives of likely impact areas.
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring (AAQM) stations were set up at 11 locations with due
consideration to the above mentioned points. AAQ locations were selected in downwind,
cross wind and upwind direction from the proposed project. The details of the
monitoring stations are tabulated in Tables 3.6 A.
At each sampling station, monitoring was carried for a frequency of 2 days per week for 4
weeks during study period (Winter Season (2012-13)). The Common air pollutants
namely Particulate Matter (PM<2.5m, PM <10m), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) oxides of
nitrogen (NOx) were sampled on 24 hourly ; Ozone (O3), Carbon Monoxide (CO) sampled
on hourly as per the standard methods. The results were averaged to 24 hours to meet
the requirements of the MoEF and compared with the NAAQ Stds 2009 Indus. Resd, Rural
& Others. The results are tabulated in Tables 3.7 to 3.11.

3.5.3 Regional Scenario
a) Particulate Matter (<2.5 m & 10 m Size)

Particulate Matter in general terms is the particulate matter in suspension in ambient air.
It includes dust, smoke, fly ash, carbonaceous matter etc. The following sources of
Particulate Matter in the study area are identified as below:
Emissions due vehicular movement around the proposed project.

Dust generation from ground during vehicular movements
Fire wood and litter burning openly in and around the study area
An excessive exposure to dust causes breathing related diseases as it effects the lungs.
The concentration of smoke and dust also reduces the visibility. Particulate matter affects
the plants by settling on the leaves and preventing natural growth. The chemical matter
in the dust will affect the structures due to slow reaction over a period of time.
The minimum and maximum level of PM (<2.5 m & 10 m size) were recorded in the
study area ranging from 15.9 to 34.6 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between
23.4 g/m3 to 34.4 g/m3 for 2.5 m. and 36.1 to 60.3 g/m3 with the 98th percentile
ranging between 46.5 g/m3 to 59.8 g/m3 for 10 m, size particulates.
The 24 hourly average values of PM (< 2.5 m & 10 m) were compared with the NAAQS
Standards (2009) for Indus. Resd, Rural & others and it was found that the recorded
values in all sampling stations were within the applicable limits.
b) Sulfur Dioxide
Sulfur dioxide gas is an inorganic gaseous pollutant. Sulfur dioxide emissions are
expected to be emitted wherever combustion of any fuel containing sulfur takes place.
The sulfur in the fuel will combine with oxygen to form sulfur dioxide. Sulfur trioxide and
sulfuric acid mist are the other important pollutants in the sulfur group. The following
sources of Sulfur dioxide in the study area are identified:
1. Emissions from domestic fuel (coal, diesel, etc.)
Sulfur dioxide in atmosphere is significant because of its toxicity. Sulfur dioxide is capable
of producing the illness and lung injury. Further it can combine with water in air to form
toxic acid aerosols that can corrode metal surfaces, fabrics and it could affect the leaves

of plants. Sulfur dioxide is irritating to the eyes and respiratory system. Excessive
exposure to sulfur dioxide causes bronchial asthma and other breathing related diseases
as it affects the lungs.
The minimum and maximum level of SO2 were recorded in the study area was in the
range of 10.3 g/m3 to 24.8 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 16.4 g/m3
to 24.7 g/m3.
The 24 hourly average values of SO2 were compared with the NAAQS Standards (2009)
for Indus. Resd, Rural & others and it was found that the recorded values in all sampling
stations were within the applicable limits.
c) Oxides of Nitrogen
Oxides of Nitrogen are also an inorganic gaseous pollutant like sulfur dioxide. Oxides of
Nitrogen emissions are expected to be emitted wherever combustion at high
temperatures takes place. Nitrous oxide and Nitric Acid Mist are the other important
pollutants in the inorganic nitrogen group.
The following sources of oxides of nitrogen in the study area are identified:
1. Emissions from domestic burning of coal.

2. Emissions from the automobiles within 10 Km radius from the proposed project
Oxides of nitrogen have far greater significance in photochemical smog reaction than any
of the other inorganic gaseous contaminants. NOx in the presence of sunlight will
undergo reactions with a number of organic compounds to produce all the effects
associated with photochemical smog. NOx has inherent ability to produce deleterious
effects by themselves like toxicity. It acts as an asphyxiate when in concentrations great
enough to reduce the normal oxygen supply from the air.
The minimum and maximum levels of NOx were recorded in the study area ranging from
12.9 g/m3 to 31.2 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 21.1 g/m3 to 30.5
g/m3.
The 24 hourly average values of NOx were compared with the NAAQS Standards (2009)
for Indus. Resd, Rural & others and it was found that the recorded values in all the
sampling stations were within the applicable limits.

c) Ozone (O3) and Carbon Monoxide (CO)
The minimum and maximum levels of Ozone (O3) were recorded in the study area
ranging from 8.1 g/m3 to 26.4 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 16.3
g/m3 to 25.7 g/m3.
The minimum and maximum levels of Carbon Monoxide (CO) were recorded in the study
area ranging from 0.225 mg/m3 to 0.767 mg/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between
0.455 mg/m3 to 0.744 mg/m3.
The hourly average values of Ozone (O3), Carbon Monoxide (CO) were compared with
the NAAQS Standards (2009) for Indus. Resd, Rural & others and it was found that the
recorded values in all the sampling stations were within the applicable limits.
3.6 Water Quality
Surface and groundwater samples were collected during study period (Winter Season
(2012-13) and analyzed for important physico - chemical parameters in the study area
from different sources within 10 km radius from the proposed project.
3.6.1 Water Quality Assessment
Selected water quality parameters for water resources of the study area have been used
for describing the water environment and assessing the impacts on it. The ground water
samples were drawn from the hand pumps and open wells being used by the villagers for
their domestic needs. Sampling locations for ground (11 No) and surface water samples
(5No.) collected within 10 km radius from the proposed project are shown in Figure 3.5
and the details of the locations are tabulated in Tables 3.6 A&B. The water samples
collected and the analytical results of the water samples were compared with BIS - 10500
(2012) drinking water standards for groundwater and surface waters were compared
with IS 2296 Class (A-E) are shown in Tables 3.12 &3.13.

* UOB = Un Objectionable

The pH limit fixed for drinking water samples as per BIS 10500 (2012) Standards is 6.5 to 8.5
beyond this range the water will affect the mucus membrane and or water supply system.
During the study period, the pH limit for surface river water as per IS 2296 (Classes from A
to E) was 8.5 and the pH values of surface waters was found to be between 7.12 8.92. The
pH was varying for groundwaters 7.30 to 8.05 within 10 km radius from the proposed
project. The pH values for all the samples collected in the study area during study period
were found to be within the limits except in SW 3.
The requirement (Acceptable Limit) of Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) is 500 mg/L where as the
permissible limits in absence of alternate source is 2000 mg/L as per BIS 10500 (2012)
standards, beyond this palatability decreases and may cause gastro intestinal irritation. In
ground water samples collected from the study area, the Total Dissolved Solids are varying
from 340 mg/L to 1165 mg/L and surface water samples, the Total Dissolved Solids limit for
surface water as per IS 2296 (Classes from A to E) was 500 to 2100 mg/L and the Total
Dissolved Solids for surface waters in between 105 - 365 mg/L. The TDS of all the samples
were below the permissible limits.
The requirement of Chloride is 250mg/L - 1000 mg/L as per BIS 10500 (2012) Standards,
beyond this limit taste, corrosion and palatability are affected. The permit Chloride levels for
surface river water as per IS 2296 (Classes from A to E) was 250 - 600 mg/L. The analytical
chloride levels in surface waters was in between 105 mg/L to 365 mg/L, the Chloride levels
in the ground water samples collected in the study area were ranging from 31 mg/L to 243
mg/L. All are within the permissible limits.
The requirement of hardness is 200 mg/L - 600 mg/L as per BIS 10500 (2012) Standards,
beyond this limit encrustation in water supply structure and adverse effects on domestic use
will be observed. In the ground water samples collected from the study area, the hardness is
varying from 173 mg/L to 578 mg/L. The permit hardness levels for surface waters as per IS
2296 (Classes from A to E) was 300 mg/L. The analytical hardness levels in surface waters in
between 33 mg/L to 182 mg/L. All are within the permissible limits.
Fluoride is the other important parameter; the requirement is 1 mg/L - 1.5 mg/L as per BIS
10500 (2012) Standards; however the optimum content of fluoride in the drinking water is
0.6 to 1.5 mg/L. If the fluoride content is less than 0.6 mg/L it causes dental carries, above
1.5 mg/L it causes staining of tooth enamel, higher concentration in range of 3 - 10 mg/L
causes fluorosis. The permit flouride levels for surface river water as per IS 2296 (Classes
from A to E) was 1.5 mg/L. The analytical flouride levels in surface waters was in between

0.29 mg/L 0.46 mg/L, the groundwater samples of study area, fluoride value were in the
range of 0.03 mg/L to 1.62 mg/L with in 10 km radius from the proposed project. All are
within the permissible limits except one sample (L7) are below the limits.
3.7 Noise Environment
Noise can be defined as unwanted sound or sound in the wrong place at the wrong time. It
can also be defined as any sound that is undesirable because it interferes with speech and
hearing, is intense enough to damage hearing, or is otherwise annoying. The definition of
noise as unwanted sound implies that it has an adverse effect on human beings and the
environment, including land, structures, and domestic animals. Noise can also disturb
natural wildlife and the ecological systems and it was transmitted through gases, liquids,
and solids. The weather conditions which could potentially absorb, reflect, or focus the
sound such as wind speed, direction, temperature inversions.
The Environment/health impacts of noise can vary from Noise Induced Hearing Loss (NIHL)
to annoyance depending on loudness of noise levels and tolerance levels of individuals.
3.7.1 Sources of Noise
The main sources of noise in the study area are domestic activities, and vehicular traffic
within 10 Km radius from the proposed project. The main occupation of the villagers in the
study area is agriculture and business.
3.7.2 Noise Levels in the Study Area
The existing noise levels have been monitored at 11 locations within the 10 km radius from
the proposed project using a precision sound level meter. At random locations were
identified for assessment of existing noise levels as per the standards, keeping in view the
land use pattern, residential areas in villages, schools, etc., the day levels of noise have been
monitored during 6 AM to 10 PM and the night levels during 10 PM to 6 AM. The noise
monitoring stations are shown in Figure 3.5 and represented in Table 3.6 A. The results are
presented in Table 3.14.

The values of noise observed in some of the rural areas are primarily due to vehicular traffic
and anthropogenic activities. In rural areas wind blowing and chirping of birds would
contribute to noise levels especially during the nights. Assessment of day and night noise
levels were ranging between 52.3 to 55.7 dB(A) within the 10 km radius from the proposed
project during the study period. The day equivalents during the study period were ranging
between 52.7 to 56.5 dB (A) and the night equivalents were in the range of 40.8 to 43.2 dB
(A) within the 10 km radius from the proposed project. From the results it was concluded
that the day equivalents were high due to vehicular movement and other anthropogenic
sources and the night equivalents were within the limits of Ambient Noise Standards of
residential areas.
3.8 Soil Quality
The present study on soil quality establishes the existing characteristics within 10 km radius
from the proposed project. The study has been addressed with the following objectives.
To determine the existing soil characteristics.

To determine the impact of the industrial activities on soil characteristics
To determine the impacts on soils for an agricultural productivity point of view.
To study the type and characteristics of the soil, 11 sampling locations were selected to
assess the existing soil conditions representing various land use conditions and geological
features. The homogenized soil samples has been collected at identified locations and
packed in a polyethylene plastic cover and sealed. The sealed samples were send to the
laboratory for analysis and depicted the results.
The soil sampling details including locations are given in Table 3.6 A & showed pictorially in

The analytical results of the soil samples collected during the study period are summarized
below.
The pH of the soil is an important property; plants cannot grow in low and high pH value
soils. The normal range of the soils in 6.0 to 8.5 is called as normal to saline soils. Most of
the essential nutrients like N, P, K, Cl and SO4 are available for plant at the neutral pH except
for Fe, Mn and Al which are available at low pH range. The soils having pH below 7 are
considered to be acidic from the practical standpoint, those with pH less than 5.5 and which
respond to liming may be considered to qualify to be designated as acid soils. On the basis
of pH measurements, the degree of soil acidity may be indicated. The pH values in the study
area are varying from 6.90 8.82 indicating that the soils are falling in normal to saline class.
Based on the electrical conductivity, the soils are classified into 4 groups (Normal, Critical for
germination, Critical for growth of the sensitive crops, Injurious to most crops). The
electrical conductivity in the study area is varying from 42 to 212 mhos/cm indicating that
soils falling under Normal category.
The other important parameters for characterization of soil for irrigation are N,P,K.
Nitrogen, Phosphorus and Potassium are known as primary nutrients, Calcium, Magnesium
and sulphur as secondary nutrients. The primary and secondary nutrient elements are
known as major elements. This classification is based on their relative abundance, and not
on their relative importance.
Nitrogen encourages the vegetative development of plants by imparting a healthy green
color to the leaves. It also controls, to some extent, the efficient utilization of phosphorus
and potassium. Its deficiency retards growth and root development, turns the foliage
yellowish or pale green, hastens maturity, causes the shriveling of grains and lowers crop
yield. The older leaves are affected first. An excess of nitrogen produces leathery (and
sometimes crinkled), dark green leaves and succulent growth. It also delays the maturation
of plants, impairs the quality of crops like barley, potato, tobacco, sugarcane and fruits
increases susceptibility to diseases and causes lodging of cereal crops by inducing an
undue lengthening of the stem internodes. The available Nitrogen as N in the study area is
varying from 459 to 668 kg/ha indicating that soils falling from medium to high range
category.
Phosphorus influences the vigor of plants and improves the quality of crops. It encourages
the formation of new cells, promotes root growth (particularly the development of fibrous

roots), and hastens leaf development, the emergence of ears, the formation of grains, and
the maturation of crops. It also increases resistance to disease and strengthens the stems of
cereal plants, thus reducing their tendency to lodge. It offsets the harmful effects of excess
nitrogen in the plant. When applied to leguminous crops it hastens and encourages the
development of nitrogen fixing nodule bacteria. If phosphorus is deficient in the soil, plants
fail to make a quick start, do not develop a satisfactory root-system, remain stunted and
sometimes develop a tendency to show a reddish or purplish discolouration of the stem and
foliage owing to an abnormal increase in the sugar content and the formation of
anthocyanin. However the deficiency of this element is not so easily recognized as that of
nitrogen. It has also been observed that cattle feeding on the produce of phosphorus
deficient soils become dwarfed, develop stiff joints and lose the velvety feel of the skin.
Such animals show an abnormal craving for eating bones and even soil itself. In the study
area available Phosphorus is varying from 51 to 158 kg/ha which indicates that all samples
are falling in high range.
Potassium enhances the ability of the plants to resist diseases, insect attacks, and cold and
other adverse conditions. It plays an essential part in the formation of starch and in the
production and translocation of sugars, and is thus of special value to carbohydrates rich
crops, e.g. sugarcane, potato and sugar beet. The increased production of starch and sugar
in legumes fertilized with potash benefits the symbiotic bacteria and thus enhances the
fixation of nitrogen. It also improves the quality of tobacco, citrus, etc. With an adequate
supply of potash, cereals produce plump grains and strong straw. But an excess of the
element tends to delay maturity, though not to the same extent as nitrogen. Plants can take
up and store potassium in much larger quantities than what is needed for optimum growth
and this excess uptake is known as luxury consumption. With the maturity or death of
plants, potassium is washed out from the plant body readily. Vegetables and legumes are
particularly heavy consumers of potassium. The deficiency of potassium produces the
characteristic ringing of alfalfa leaves with rows of small white spots, reddish brown
decolouration of cotton leaves, the drying, scorching and curbing of leaf margins of potato,
and intravenal chlorosis and flaring along the edges of maize leaves. The older leaves are
affected first. The available potassium in the study area is varying between 58 to 332 kg/ha
in the study area, which indicates that all samples are falling from low to high category.

3.12 TRAFFIC STUDY
Anthropogenic emissions not only contribute to the green house effect but also participate
in the reaction that results in photochemical oxidants. The effect of photochemical oxidants
is well known for forming smog particularly in the urban areas.

Among the anthropogenic sources of pollutants forming the green house gases, burning of
fossil fuels constitute a major source. Highway mobile sources that contribute significantly
to poor quality have been regulated for the past two decades in countries like India. The
absence of regulation in developing countries has caused a global concern regarding
potential environmental damage on a larger scale.
In countries like India automobiles especially two-wheelers are a very popular mode of
personal transport for socio-economic reasons. They constitute to about 70-95% of the total
passengers vehicles. About the same percentage of two-wheeler vehicles are powered by
two-stroke engines because of low initial and maintenance costs. However these two stroke
engines have high emission levels which are of the major concern. Moreover, these
emissions are concentrated in urban area, further contributing to already polluted heat
islands. Poor public transportation and high transportation fares, increasing cost of living
and greater demand for mobility may be attributed to a surge in the number of personal
vehicles during the last decade.
The objective of traffic study and emission quantification is to assess the magnitude of the
emissions resulting from two-wheelers, three wheelers, and four wheelers that are
extensively used as a means of common transport within the urban areas.
A detailed traffic survey was conducted in the study area and also to evaluate the impacts of
the increased traffic due to the proposed activity.
Vehicular emissions are the major source of air quality impacts in the study area. The
principal cause of air pollution during the construction phase is the diesel-powered vehicles
used in haulage of aggregates, earth and other construction material. Air quality could be
affected by dust & particulate matter arising due to site clearing, vehicular emissions etc.
Gaseous emissions like Sulphur dioxide, Nitrous oxide, CO might be released from the
vehicular movement, which has a direct impact on the environment.
Increase in the traffic in the study area has a direct impact on the resources as a heavy
release of automobile exhaust is envisaged which has a direct impact on the air quality and
the ambient noise levels in the study area.
The methodology adopted for carrying out the traffic study was to select the major roads
around the project site and count the various categories of vehicles moving on these roads
given in Table 3.17.

3.12.1 TRAFFIC STUDIES - CONCLUSION
The methodology adopted for carrying out the traffic study was to select the major roads
around the project site and count the various categories of vehicles moving on these roads.
The traffic survey was carried out on the approach road to the project from the national
highway NH4. The details of the vehicles movement recorded. From the study it is observed
that there is no major impact on traffic due to the proposed project are tabulated in Tables

3.13 SOCIO ECONOMIC STATUS IN THE STUDY AREA
The establishment of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III is a developmental

activity which is having positive impacts on the socio-economic conditions of the population
in the region and thereby on the quality of life.
The environmental issues are interdisciplinary, interactive, biological and probabilistic this conflict
between development and conservation is difficult to reconcile. Environmental baseline,
ecological reconnaissance and environmental impact studies provide data bases and quantitative
assessment of environmental factors related to the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III.
The construction activities will normally benefit the local populace in a number of ways,
which include the requirement of construction laborers - skilled, semi-skilled and un-skilled,
and provision of goods and services for daily needs including transport. Some of the
recommendations will implement for the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II &
Stage III are given below;

1. Eligible local people shall be given preference for employment,

2. All the applicable guidelines under the relevant Acts and Rules related to labor
welfare and safety shall be implemented during the construction work,
3. The construction site shall be secured with safety fencing till construction is
completed and shall have guarded entry points.
Most of the population in the study area belongs to the category of Main workers, which
includes Cultivators, Agriculture Labourers, workers those engaged in Household industries,
Construction activities, Forestry and other allied activities.
Main sources of water supply are wells and hand pumps. Communication facilities in the
nearby villages are quite good. Police stations exist in Mandals.
The information on the above parameters was collected from the villages in the study area
by means of personal interaction with the villagers and sarpanch of the village. The primary
information was also collected and cross checked with secondary data from census 2011
and enclosed as Annexure 5.

CHAPTER 4
Anticipated Environmental Impacts &
Mitigation Measures
4.1 INTRODUCTION
In this chapter the environmental impacts associated with the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage IIII are identified, characterized, and evaluated
systematically. The extent of impact on air, water, soil, flora, and fauna will be evaluated in
relation to the environmental pollution. The impacts will be distinctly direct and indirect,
positive and negative, reversible and irreversible. The prediction of impacts on various
environmental parameters during pre pre-operational, operational,
nal, and post
post-operational activities
assists in effective identification of mitigation measures to minimize the adverse impacts on
environmental quality. The prediction of impacts on different sectors has been studied using
scientific tools and the results are anticipated. Such predictions are superimposed over the
baseline (pre-project)
project) status of environmental quality to develop the ultimate (post-project)
(post
scenario of the environmental conditions. The successful environmental impact assessment
process requires
ires proper identification, prediction, assessment, and also communication of the
significant environmental impacts to the public. The details on impact of the project activity on
each of the disciplines mentioned above are discussed below.
The environmental tal impacts associated due to the proposed development of

Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III are classified into two phases and the possible
impacts are assessed.
1. Impacts during constructional phase
2. Impacts during operational phase

4.2 IMPACT DURING CONSTRUCTION PHASE
Activities during constructional

construction phase include site clearance, site formation, building works,
infrastructure provision, and any other infrastructure activities.
4.2.1 Impact on Air Quality
Up gradation of existing roads and construction of new roads approaching the proposed
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III involves cutting and filling of the
earth. Within the proposed IA of Stage II & III
III,, cutting and leveling activity would be required
for providing
ng roads, sewage network, storm water system, administrative buildings for
proposed project.
The potential source of air quality impact arising from the establishment/construction of the
proposed project is fugitive dust generation. The dust, measurable as Particulate Matter
(PM<2.5m, PM 10m), ), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) oxides of nitrogen (NOx), would
woul be generated as
a result of construction activities. During construction, the existing houses nearby may be
subjected to the potential dust impacts.
The potential dust sources associated with the constructional activities are loading and
unloading of the
he materials, top soil removal, vehicular movement over unpaved roads, and
wind erosion, etc. The possible constructional activities that contribute to the environmental
impacts broadly given below:
Dust Generation during levelling of earth

Dust generation
n due to the movement of vehicles on unpaved roads
Emission of pollutants from vehicular exhaust
Unloading of raw materials and removal of unwanted waste material
Accumulation of excavated earth material
4.2.1.1
.1 Proposed Mitigation Measures
The impact off the above mentioned activities would be temporary and will be restricted to the
constructional phase. However, the impact is generally confined to the proposed development
of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III and is expected to be negligible outside the
boundary. Nevertheless, the following mitigative measures will be adopted to limit the

environmental impact during constructional phase for development of Vasanthanarasapura IA

of Stage II & Stage III:
Regular water sprinkling will be done to avoid the dust materials entering into the
atmosphere. Furthermore, during windy days, the frequency of the water sprinkling will be
increased.
The vehicular movement will be minimized, with a planned scheduling, to reduce the
emission of pollutants.
Temporary
rary thin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the proposed site for
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III as a barrier for dust control.
The excavated material shall be reused within the boundary from the Vasanthanarasapura
IA of Stage II & Stage III and the movement of cut and fill material will be limited.
Plantation of trees around the proposed boundary of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II &
Stage III and it will be initiated at the early stages by plantation of
of 2 to 3 years old saplings
using drip irrigation so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.
All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin/plastic sheet;
unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.
per
4.2.2 Impact on Water Quality
The proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III project involves
various construction activities and the impact on water quality associated with each of these
construction activities are descri
described below:
Site formation
The preparation of land required for the subsequent development activities generates a
significant amount of construction waste. The site formation may produce large quantities of
run-off
off with high suspended solids in the absence of appropriate mitigation measures. This
potential problem will be intensified during rainy season.
Construction of buildings
During rainy season, due to the construction of various civil structures, the site runoff results in
significant pollution in the receiving water bodies. And washing of various construction
equipments will also result in water pollution.

Site workshop
The storage of used engine oil and lubricants as waste materials has a potential to create
impacts if spillage occurs.
s. Waste oil may infiltrate into the surface soil layers or in the form of
runoff into local watercourses which increases the hydrocarbon levels.
Presence of workers
Wastewater will be generated from eating areas and the sewage will be generated from
temporary sanitary facilities. Significant impact on water quality is envisaged if the sewage is
discharged directly into the receiving waters without any prior treatment.
4.2.2.1 Mitigation Measures
During site development necessary precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the
site gets collected in a working pit. If any over flow occurs, the excess water will be diverted to
nearby greenbelt/plantation area.
The domestic wastewater, generated from cleaning of equipment and from eating arareas, will be
collected and diverted to the working pit in which the suspended solids, if any, will be
separated. The settled water will be reused for constructional purposes and for sprinkling on
roads to control the dust emissions.
The domestic wastewaterr generated from temporary toilets used by the work force will be
diverted to septic tank followed by soak pit. If the wastewater generation is high a mobile STP
will be hired from the local suppliers. Therefore, impact on water quality due to proposed
development
elopment of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III would be insignificant.
The waste generated from the site work shop will be segregated like used oil, lubricants, etc
and disposed to authorized recyclers. The waste like soiled cotton, paper, etc will be disposed
to municipal bins.
4.2.3 Impact on Noise Levels
The major activities, which produce periodic noise, during construction phase, are as follows:
Foundation works

Fabrication of structures
Plant erection
Operation of construction equipment
Movement of vehicles
The impact on noise environment can be made insignificant by adopting the following
mitigative measures:
Noise generating equipment will be used during day time for a brief period as per
requirements.
Where
here ever possible the noise generating equipment will be kept away from the human
habituation.
Temporary thin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the proposed site for
the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of stage II & stage III as barrier for minimizing
the noise travel to surrounding area.
All the vehicles entering into the proposed site for the development of Vasanthanarasapura
IA of stage II & stage III will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not to blow horns
unless it is required.
The workers involved in operating major noise generating equipments will be provided with
ear plugs/ear muffs.
4.2.4 Impacts due to Solid Waste Generation
During thee constructional stage, the solid waste generated is required to be disposed in an
appropriate and environmentally acceptable manner. The waste generated from different
activities of constructional phase include following:
Vegetation and demolition waste from site clearance

Excavated materials from earthworks like cuttings, grading, & foundation works
General construction waste like wood, scrap metal, & concrete debris
Domestic waste generated by site workers

The solid waste generated during the constructional phase does not create any chemical or
biochemical pollution. Hence, maximum effort would be made to reuse and recycle the
generated solid waste. Most of the solid waste material can be used for filling/leveling of low-
lying areas. Majority of the waste materials produced are durable and have a high potential for
reuse.
All attempts should be made to stick to the following measures.

1. The complete constructional waste shall be stored within the proposed IA site itself.
itsel A
proper screen will be provided so that the waste does not get scattered.
2. Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as possible
so that further gradation and reuse is facilitated.
3. Materials, which will be reused for purpose of construction, levelling, making
roads/pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or land
filled.
4. The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate number of
skip containers/trolleys on hire.
4.2.5 Impact on Land Use
There will not be any adverse impact on the land use as the allotted land falls under industrial
area approved by Govt. of Karnataka State. Furthermore, the impact on surrounding land use,
during the constructional activity, is negligible as all the raw materials required will be stored in
the designated area within the boundary of the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III.
4.2.6 Impact on Demography and Socio-economics

Socio
The impact due to the proposed development of Vasanthana

on demography and socio economic conditions of the study area would be as follows.
Increase of floating population

Additional strain on civic amenities like road, transport, communication, drinking water,
sanitation, and
nd other facilities to meet the work force requirement
Increase in demand for services like hotels, lodges, public transport, etc

Employment opportunities for construction labourers, skilled and unskilled workers, etc
Economic upliftment of the area
Raising of home rents and land prices and increase in labour rates
Rapid growth of service sector will result in increase of incomes in the area
More work to civil construction and transportation companies
Expanding of services like retail shops, banks, au
automobile
tomobile workshop, schools, hospitals, etc
Increase in literacy rates
4.3 IMPACTS DURING OPERATION

OPERA
The major areas identified to assess the environmental impact due to the development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III are given below:
Topography & Climate

Ambient Air Quality
Water Quality
Soil Quality
Noise Quality
Solid Waste Generation
Ecology
economics
Demography and Socio-economics
Impact on Health
4.3.1 Impact on Topography and Climate
The major topographical changes envisaged would be the manmade structures like erection of
plant sheds, raw material storage space, civil structures, water reservoirs, etc. However, it will
also invite some positive benefits in the form of up gradation of existing roads, land leveling,
tree plantations, greenbelt
elt development, etc., in the proposed IA vicinity.
Being an Industrial area, the impact on the climate due to the exhaust gas could be envisaged.
However, the impact on the climatic conditions from the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage
Sta II & Stage III. will be marginal which can be nullified / reduced
by developing green belt and by adopting pollution prevention equipments like bag filters.

4.3.2 Impact on Air Quality
Stage II & III are water and power. SO2 and NOX are major air pollutant generated from the
proposed development of IA of Stage II & Stage III.. However, SO2 and NOX emiemissions are
anticipated during the usage of DG sets & Boilers.
4.3.2.1 Emission Details
Emissions generated during process activities will be properly managed by the member
industries. However, the SO2 and NOX emissions are generated from proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III as DG sets & Boilers are properly dispersed
d into
the atmosphere by providing the stack at sufficient height.

4.4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The present section presents an assessment of solid waste impacts associated with the pre
construction / constructional phase and operational phase of the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. The sources of solid waste ggeneration at the
different phases of the development are categorized as follows.
Pre construction / Construction phase: Construction and demolition waste is generated during
the constructional activity. Activities such as site clearance, site formation, building works,
infrastructure provision and any other infrastructure
i. Activities. It consists mostly of inert and non

non-biodegradable
biodegradable materials such as concrete,
plaster, metal, plastics etc.
ii. Occupational phase: The most common solid waste generated in the th proposed project
is used batteries, waste oil, and municipal solid waste containing biodegradable and non
biodegradable waste.
4.4.1
.1 Solid Waste Generation during construction phase
This category of waste in the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura

Vasanthanarasapur IA of Stage II &
Stage III are due to different types of raw materials being used during establishment stage in
general may comprise the following
cement concrete
bricks, tiles,
cement plaster
steel (from RCC, door/ window frames, roofing support, railings of staircase etc)
rubble, sand,
stone (Marble, granite, sand stone)
timber/wood
paints/varnishes
Besides above there are some major and minor components namely conduits, pipes, electrical
fixtures, panels, etc in all the proposed projects. In addition the packing material used for
packing of various items used in creation of sports infrastructure and others also constitutes the
solid waste.

4.4.2
.2 Mitigation measure during construction phase
The solid waste generated during this period being predominantly inert in nature, construction
and demolition waste does not create chemical or biochemical pollution. Hence maximum
effort would be made to reuse and recycle them. The most of the solid waste material can be
used for filing/ leveling of low-laying
low laying areas. All attempts should be made to stick to the
following measures.
1. All construction waste shall be stored within the proposed site for development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III itself. A proper screen will be provided
so that the waste does not get scattered.
2. Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as
possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.
3. Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, leveling, making roads/
pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or
land filled.
4. The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate
number of skip containers/
conta trolleys on hire.
The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of
the separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high
potential for reuse. It would, however, be desirable
desirable to have quality standards for the recycled
materials. Construction waste can be used in the following manner.
i. Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible and
depending upon their conditions.
ii. Sale/ auction
tion of materials which cannot be used at the site due to design constraint
iii. Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal etc can be sent for recycling in the industries.
iv. Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as leveling, under coat of lanes
where
here the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.
v. Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low laying areas.
vi. Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material
vii. The unearthed soil can be used for leveling as well as for lawn
lawn development
viii. The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for leveling in the building or can
be disposed off
ix. The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be
disposed off

4.4.3
.3 Solid waste generation during Operatio
Operation
The major solid wastes generated from the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA
of Stage II & Stage III during operation are waste oil and used batteries and domestic waste.

4.5. RAINWATER HARVESTING & STORM WATER RUNOFF
All along the road network of the proposed site for Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage
III,, storm water drains would be provided to collect water during rains. They would adequately
sized to prevent flooding of the site. It is proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for
recharge of roof top rainwater and rain water of paved surface at respective buildings.
Treatment for silt, oil & grease removal will be provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit.
Overflow from the harvesting pit and storm water of road / open space will be collected
through road side storm water drains.
The rainwater
ater harvesting pits will be provided near major built up areas, so that the roof water
can be directly sent to nearest Rainwater harvesting pit. The excess water if any from the
rainwater harvesting pits is diverted to storm water drains.
The storm waterr drains will be acting as recharge trench as the bottom will not be lined and
intermittent check dams will be provided in the storm water drains, so that maximum amount
of rainwater infiltrate into the ground. The excess water will be diverted into the co
common
storm water drain. The width and depth of the drain proposed is 0.50 m and 0.40 m
respectively.
4.6 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT
Most of the human activities generate pollution of one or other types and of different
magnitudes, to which all the organisms aare
re exposed. More often than not, exposures to some
pollution types are considered unavoidable. Resistance of organisms helps them overcome the
hazards caused by such exposures.
The air pollution emitted by various sources settles on the ground and vegeta vegetation of
surrounding area. The plants interact with both gaseous and particulate pollutants and to great
extent absorb them and thus, remove them from the atmosphere. This pollution removal
property of the plants has been known for a long time. For many years
years tree planting has been
promoted by city planners for the purpose of reducing ground level air pollution.
The details of the land allotted for greenbelt and landscaping works are given in Table 4.10.

4.6.1 Mitigation of Impacts by Green Belt
In the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III,, the natural
vegetation of the construction site is going to be severely damaged; however in the present
case only small portion of the land will be used for providing civil infrastructure. But none of the
plants or animals of the proposed site (Core area) belong to Rare or Endangered or Endemic or
Threatened (REET) category all of them occur in the buffer zone. Hence, there are no chances
of losing any valuable biodiversity. When the project is fully operational over a period, lots of
greenery comes up in the form of avenue trees, ornamentals, fruit trees and lawns. As a result,
the loss of carbon sequestration capacity due to the loss of few plants could be compensated.
There is no plan to introduce new exotic species except those that have become naturalized.
Preference will be given to native and local trees. A list trees proposed to be included for the
development of green belt and avenue
a plantations are given in Table 4. 4.11. Apart from these
several ornamental shrubs such as Nerium, Tabermontana, Lantanas, Cycas, Ixoras,
Bougainvilleas, Roses, Royal Palms, Fish tail palms, Travellers palms etc shall also be included.
Planting stocks are readily available from the Forest Department as well as from the local
private nurseries. All plants are locally adapted and the present site can support their growth
with suitable horticultural practices. Sufficient space, resources and an man power for
development and maintenance are provided in the plan.

5.3 SITE SELECTION
Overlooking the Environmental Factors during site selection at the project initiation stage will
generally increase the project costs due to the increase in the compliance to environmental
regulations and also will make the project vulnerable to opposition from the public. The EC has
been obtained vide ref to the Annexure 1 for Stage I Vasanthanarasapura IA and further Stage II
& Stage III proposed to develop adjascent to the stage I based on the analysis and
interpretation of available data, Geo, Meteorological, Hydrological evaluation and other Impact
Assessment studies. The selected site is best suited for industrial activities. Hence no other
alternative sites have been proposed.
Site selection for the development was made keeping the following points in view:
Air shed and the topography of the region
Watershed, drainage patterns and the hydrogeology of the region
Meteorological conditions that favor the dispersion of the air emissions
Major water bodies and the downstream users within the study area.

Appropriate mitigation measures adopted such as CETP/CSTP, Municipal and Hazardous Waste
management, Storm water management and rainwater water harvesting system etc will
mitigate the impacts on air, water and land environment. Hence there will be no need of
alternative site for the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III.
5.5 ALTERNATIVE ENERGY
Solar energy will be used as an alternative energy. Solar street lights will be used and the
member industries will install solar water heaters to feed pre heat water to process. This will
help in saving the electric energy. However, solar energy can be utilized only during sunny days.
No alternative site has been proposed for the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage
II & Stage III.; the following contents are not covered in the EIA report.

CHAPTER 7
Additional Studies
7.1 SAFETY MANAGEMENT PLAN
During construction, erection, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance, the men,
materials and machines are the basic inputs. The proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura
IA of Stage II & Stage III generally has problems like occupational health and safety. Hence
management proposes to take steps to minimize the impacts from the proposed development of
IA and to ensure appropriate occupational health, safety including fire plans by adapting
Occupational Health & Safety measures as per Standard Procedures & Local Guidelines. All
these activities again may be classified based on activities which needs attention during
construction, erection, operation and maintenance phases.
Over-exertion, ergonomic injuries and illnesses caused due to repetitive motion and manual
handling are among the most common during construction of the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III and adopt proper steps for their prevention and
control which include:
Training to be given to the workers - lifting of materials & handling, placement of weight limits,
planning of work at proposed development of IA, proper selecting tools and designing of work
stations and implementation of administrative controls in proposed site for the development of
IA during constructional phase.
Implementation of good house-keeping practices, such as the sorting and placing loose
construction materials or demolition debris in identified areas away from foot paths.

A fall protection plan will implement for the persons who will work in heights and also
depending on the nature and aspects of the fall hazard.
Appropriate techniques and measures will be taken for the prevention and control of haza rds
caused by the objects and moving machinery in proposed site for the development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III during constructional phase.
Suitable dust suppression techniques will be implemented like water spraying to minimize dust
from vehicle movements and also proper PPE used at excessive levels.
a) Policy
Involved and responding employees will:
1. Contact their immediate supervisors according to individual department policies. Do not

assume that someone else will follow through with reporting needs. Do not admit liability
for anything that happened or assume that anyone else is responsible for the accident or
damage. What happened will be sorted out through the accident reporting and
investigation process.
2. The supervisor or employee should cause the following to be completed:
a. Obtain the names, addresses, and phone numbers (work and home) of any witnesses.
Interview the witnesses and prepare a report including statements from the witnesses. The
report should include any suggestions to prevent a similar accident or incident from
occurring in the future.
b. Take photographs of the property damage or defect. A sufficient number of photos should
be taken to fully describe the damage to a person who has not been at the scene.
c. Prepare a report of the incident with all necessary information. The reports should be
prepa red to reflect the seriousness of the incident.
d. Fill appropriate forms for future use.
e. If individual department procedures include all of the information required by this policy,
that document can be utilized to fulfill these requirements.
f. This policy is in addition to a workers compensation reporting requirements.
Appropriate risk management strategies will be implemented to protect the community from
physical, chemical, or other hazards associated with sites through a combination of Institutional

and administrative controls by adopting the community Health and Safety measures as per
Standard procedures & local guidelines provided for community health and safety.
To control communicable and vector-borne diseases attributable in the proposed site for the
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III are not potentially serious health
threat to project personnel and residents of local communities. The investigation facilities are

7.3 DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN (DMP)
The objective of the study is to assess the likely hazards and risk associated with process and
prepa ration of preliminary Disaster Management Plan (DMP).
7.3.1 Public Consultation
Before the preparation of Final EIA Report, public hearing has been conducted for the project as
per the provisions of Environmental Impact Assessment Notification, 2006 and the issues raised
by the public has been addressed.
Also monitoring of surrounding sensitive areas around the proposed site for the development of
IA will be done to evaluate the problems related to pollution and health of the people in
immediate vicinity. The feedback from these discussions will be considered in performa nce
evaluation of pollution control equipments. This will help in establishing good relations with
local populations. Identification of wa ter-related diseases, sites, adequacy of local vector
control and curative measures, status of public health are some of the para meters which should
be closely monitored twice a year with the help of data maintained in the government
dispensaries/hospitals.
7.3.2 Risk Assessment Plan
Risk involves the occurrence or potential occurrence of some accident consisting of an event or
sequence of events. Risk (R) can be mathematically expressed as R = fD where R is the risk
(individual or societal), f is the frequency of occurrence of a n undesired event and D is the
expected damage distance due to likely occurrence of that unfortunate event. The main
objectives of the study are as follows:
i. Identification of hazard prone area and estimation of damage distance for the
Maximum Credible Accident (MCA) scenarios visualized for storages.
ii. Computation of frequency of occurrence of hazards and evaluation of risk.
iii. Based on the studies, suggest risk mitigation measures and arrive at guidelines for
Disaster Management and Emergency Prepa redness Plan (DMP and EPP).

7.5 HAZARD IDENTIFICATION AND PRELIMINARY HAZARD ANALYSIS
7.5.1 Introduction to Hazard Identification
Identification of haza rds in proposed site for the development Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II
& Stage III is of primary significance in the analysis, quantification and cost effective control of
accidents involving chemicals and process. A classical definition of hazard states that hazard is
in fact the characteristic of system/plant/process that presents potential for an accident.
Hence, all the components of a system/plant/ process need to be thoroughly examined to
assess their potential for initiating or propagating an unplanned event/sequence of events,
which can be termed as an accident.
7.5.2 Identification of Major Hazardous Units

In order to ensure a steady supply of raw materials, process chemicals and fuels, adequate
inventory of all these materials is maintained. The quantities stored and the degrees of hazard
in terms of NFPA ratings are given below. The National Fire Protection Agency, USA (NFPA), on
scale 0 to 4 (least to worst), hazard rating is used as a tool to assess the preliminary hazard
potential of a material shown in the Table 7.3 below.

From the above table it can be inferred that

i. HSD fall under the category of moderate category of flammability index with Nf being 2.
7.5.4 Identification of Major Hazard Installations Based on MSIHC Rules 1989 and the
Amended Rules in October 1994
Following accidents in industry in India over the past few decades a specific legislation covering
major hazard activities has been enforced by Govt. of India in 1989 in conjunction with
Environment Protection Act, 1986. This is referred here as MSIHC Rules 1989. For the purpose
of identifying major hazard installations the rules employ certain criteria based on toxic,
flammable and explosive properties of chemicals. The indicative criteria adopted by the rules
are listed in Table 7.4.

Besides a list of hazardous substances with their threshold quantities are

provided in Part II of Schedule I of the rules
Schedule II of the rules sets out the threshold quantities for isolated storage
units
Schedule III gives a list of hazardous chemicals with their threshold quantities. In
this schedule different chemicals are classified into distinct groups viz. Group 1 -
Toxic substances, Group 2 -Toxic substances, Group 3 -Highly reactive
substances, Group 4 -Explosive substances and Group 5-Flammable substances.
Schedule IV of the rules indicate various operations which are hazardous during
production, processing or treatment of organic and inorganic chemicals.
A systematic analysis of fuels and their quantities of storage has been carried out, to determine
threshold quantities as notified by MSIHC Rules 1989 and amended rules in 1994 and the
applicable rules are identified. Indicative Criteria for Identification of Toxic, Flammable and
Explosive Chemicals (MSIHC Rules 1989) is given in Table - 7.4.
Table 7.4
Indicative Criteria for Identification of Toxic, Flammable and
Explosive Chemicals (MSIHC Rules 1989)
a. Toxic Chemicals
Chemicals having the following values of acute toxicity and which, owing to their physical
and chemical properties, are capable of producing major accident hazards
S. Degree of Medium lethal dose Medium lethal dose by Medium lethal
No. Toxicity by the oral route the dermal route concentration by

animals)
1. Extremely 1-50 1-200 0.1-0.5
toxic
2. Highly 51-500 201-2000 0.5-2.0
toxic
b. Flammable Chemicals

i. Flammable gases: Chemicals which in the gaseous state at normal pressure and when
mixed with air become flamma ble and the boiling point of which at normal pressure is
20oC or below;
ii. Highly flammable liquids: Chemicals, which have a flash point, lower than 23oC and the
boiling point of which at normal pressure is above 20oC.
iii. Flammable liquids :Chemicals which have a flash point lower than 650C and which
remain liquids under pressure, where particular processing conditions, such as high
pressure and high temperature, may create major accident hazards
c. Explosives
Chemicals which may explode under the effect of flame, heat or photo-chemical conditions or
which are more sensitive to shocks or friction than dinitrobenzene.
Based on the indicative criteria inventory (liquids/fuels) stored in proposed site for the
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III has been analyzed for applicability of MSIHC Rules
1989 and the results are summarized in Table 7.5.
Table 7.5

*Expected Quantity to be Stored for a week

From the above table it can be inferred that
HSD tanks (with capacity 50 MT for Stage II & 25 MT for Stage III) attract rules 2(e)(iii), 5
and 6(1)(a) and 7-15, as the stored quantities are less than that of the stipulated
threshold quantities

7.7 MAXIMUM CREDIBLE ACCIDENT ANALYSIS
Hazardous substances may be released as a result of failures or catastrophes, causing possible

damage to the surrounding area. This chapter deals with the question of how the consequences
of the release of such substances and the damage to the surrounding area can be determined
by means of models.
A disastrous situation is generally due to outcome of fire, explosion or toxic hazards in addition
to other natural causes, which eventually lead to loss of life, property and ecological imbalance.
Major hazards posed by haza rdous chemical storages can be identified taking recourse to MCA
Analysis. MCA analysis encompasses certain techniques to identify the haza rds and calculate
the consequent effects in terms of damage distances of heat radiation, toxic releases, vapor
cloud explosion, etc. A host of probable or potential accidents of the major units in the complex
arising due to use, storage and handling of the hazardous materials are examined to establish
their credibility. Depending upon the effective hazardous attributes and their impact on the
event, the maximum effect on the surrounding environment and the respective damage caused
can be assessed.

Various models for calculating the physical effects of the incidental release of hazardous
substances are detailed subsequently. First, attention is paid to the factors, which are decisive
for the selection of the models to be used in a particular situation, after which the various
effect models are discussed.
7.8 INJURIES RESULTING FROM FLAMMABLE LIQUIDS
In the case of flammable liquids such as HSD for immediate ignition of a pool fire will occur. The
injuries in this case are mainly caused by heat radiation. Serious injuries as the result of the
shock wave generally do not occur outside the fire ball zone. Fragmentation of the storage
system can cause damage up to distance of over 50 m depending on the capacity of the
affected storage tank. If the gas is not ignited immediately, it will disperse into the atmosphere.
If the gas cloud ignites it is assumed that everyone present within the gas cloud will die as a
result of burns or asphyxiation. Outside the gas cloud the duration of the thermal load will be
too brief to cause any injuries. In the event of very rapid combustion of the gas cloud the shock
wave may cause damage outside the limits of the cloud. Explosive combustion will only occur if
the cloud is enclosed to some extent between buildings and obstacles. The Mathematical
models and analytical models for Hazard Analysis of the flammable liquids in the proposed site for
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III are as shown in Table 7.8 Damage
criteria in Table 7.9. Radiation exposure and lethality Table 7.10: Damage due to peak over

7.9 POOL FIRE ANALYSIS OF HSD TANKS FOR STAGE II & STAGE III
The detailed computations of FETI (Fire and Explosion, Toxicity Index) for HSD (High Speed
Diesel) at proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. The capacities of HSD storage
tanks are given in Table 7.5.
The Health (Nh), Flammability (Nf), Reactivity (Nr), and MF (Material Factor) for all the materials
under consideration was derived from NFPA (National Fire Protection Association) codes. The
GPH (General Process Hazard Factor) and SPH (Specific Process Hazard Factor) was calculated
accordingly. Based on F&EI (Fire and Explosion Index), the HSD fall under light degree of hazard
category and nil toxicity.
Thus Risk Assessment and Hazard analysis has been carried out due to fire hazard for HSD
storage tanks by carrying out MCA (Maximum Credible Accident) analysis.

A storage tanks of HSD with a capacity of 50 MT for Stage II & 25 MT for Stage III is considered
for the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA. Tank fire would occur if the radiation intensity is high
on the peripheral surface of tanks leading to increase in internal tank pressure. Pool fire would
occur when fuel oil collected in the dyke due to leakage gets ignited. As the tanks are provided
within the dyke the fire will be confined within the dyke wall.

7.10 HYDROLOGICAL AND GEO-HYDROLOGICAL CONDITIONS OF THE PROJECT AREA
The proposed industrial park at Vasanthanarasapura is divided into three Stages viz. Stage-I,
Stage-II and Stage -III. The present study and the report are pertaining to Stage -II & Stage III
only. It is having an extent of about 1263.78 acre (511.45 ha) and 1598.04 acre (646.7 ha)
respectively. Geological and Hydro geological studies were conducted within the proposed site
to evaluate the hydrogeological setting of the study area. The study is mainly oriented towa rds
the topog raphical conditions, rainfall, existing natural drainage, planning of storm water drains,
geological and geomorphological setting along with the proposal of suitable artificial recharge
structures for improvement of ground water in and around the proposed industrial park.

7.10.1 Topography
Topographically the study area and its surroundings are representing an undulated terrain with
well developed natural drains at several locations. The land elevation is progressively increasing
from western margin to eastern margin of the proposed industrial park Stage -II. Similarly in
Stage -III the northern part is having similar topographical features like Stage -II. Whereas the
north-south narrow stretch of industrial park area is having higher elevations all along the
western margin and the lower elevations along the eastern margin with general slope from
west to east.
The maximum elevation in Stage -II is present at northeastern part of the site with RL 846m.
The lowest elevation is present at northwestern corner and central part of western margin of
the proposed Stage -II area wherein the RL is representing 802m. Similarly in Stage -III, the
maximum and minimum elevations are RL 852m and 811m respectively. They are located
towards north-central part and northwestern corner of the site respectively. The detailed
topographical map along with 1m/0.5m contour interval is given in Annexure-6.
Figure 7.1 View of Topographical expression of the site

7.10.2 Geology
The Vasanthanarasapura industrial park site and its surroundings exposes mainly rock types
belonging to the Peninsular Gneissic Complex (PGC) and younger intrusive (Closepet Granite
and basic dykes). The PGC is represented by migmatite, gneiss and other granitoids. small
enclaves within the PGC comprise amphibolites, ultramafics and banded ferruginous chert.
There are three prominent lineaments in ENE-WSW, NW-SE and N-S directions in the study
area.
The Closepet granite in southern India, is a large (400 km long but only 30km wide) elongate
Late Archean granitic body. The Closepet granite was emplaced syn-tectonically within an active
strike-slip shear zone. Structural levels from deep crust to upper levels crop out. Despite local
petrographic heterogeneities, a physical continuity of the porphyritic granite can be observed
all over the closepet structure. Consequently, the Closepet granite a ppears as a single
magmatic body. Differential erosion has exposed it from the lower to upper crust.
The Peninsular Gneiss composed of dark biolite gneiss of granitic to granodioritic composition
containing streaks of biolite is composite gneiss formed by migmatization of pre-existing meta-
sedimentary and meta-igneous rocks. It acts as the basement on which the supra-crustal rocks
of the Dharwar Super Group were deposited; these gneisses show the same style and sequence
of superposed deformation as those in the enclaves of metamorphic rocks.
7.10.3 Hydrogeology
The proposed site is covered with hard rock formations such as Granites & gneisses. Basic
dykes intrude the above formations at places. Several structural controls observed in the form
of fractures or lineaments. The occurrence and movement of ground water is controlled by
weathered zone and fractures and fissures that exist in hard rocks. Ground water occurs in
weathered and jointed zones of gneisses, granites in unconfined or water table conditions
where as it occurs in semi confined to confined conditions in fractured formations at deeper
depths. The yield range weathered formation is 10 to 50 m3/day. Due to over exploitation in
many pockets, this zone is getting dried up gradually. Semi confined to confined aquifer is
formed due to fractures in hard formations at deeper depths. This aquifer system is developed
by bore wells ranging in depth up to 200m. The wells are yielding moderate to poor yields. It is
observed that the depth to ground water level during pre monsoon is more than 20 m bgl.
During post monsoon depth to water level ranges from 15 to 20 mbgl.

7.10.4 Natural Drainage
The drainage network of an area is principally governed by the topography of the land,
whether a pa rticular region is dominated by hard or soft rocks, and the gradient of the land.
Since the study area is located on an upland area with respects to its surrounding environs,
several first order streams originating at this location and forming the most common form of
drainage system called dendritic system. All the existing drains are moving to the down
streams and connecting to the nearest surface streams. There are several surface tanks
existing within the industrial park. Most of them are minor tanks connected with the nearest
surface streams as catchment. There are two major tanks existing within the study area, one in
Stage -II and another one in Stage-III. All the drains from the proposed site is draining to these
tanks which in-turn flowing further down strea ms. The detailed maps of natural drainage
system occurring within the industrial area for Stage-II & Stage III are presented in Annexure-7.
Figure 7.3 First and Second order streams developed on the

surface of the proposed site and draining to surface tanks

7.10.5 Rainfall
The proposed site and its environs are falling in the Eastern dry agro climatic Zone. It
experiences a semi-arid climate, characterized by typical monsoon tropical weather with hot
summers and mild winters. December to April is the very low rainfall months. August and
September are the wettest months with monthly rainfall between 150 and 200 mm. The rainfall
occurs in nearly 45 days in a year. The pre monsoon period contributes about 21 %, the SW
monsoon period contributes 54% and the NE monsoon period contributes 25%. The monthly &
yearly rainfall of the study area along with rainfall graph is given below.

= 2861.82 x 4047 = 11581785.54 m2
Average annual rainfall (occurred within 45 rainy days in a year) = 771 mm = 77.1 cm = 0.771 m
Volume of rainwater within the site = 11581785.54 m2 x 0.771 m
= 8929556.65 m3
Volume of rainwater within the site in one rainy day = 8929556.65 m3/ 45 days
= 198434.59 m3
Capacity of storm water drains and collection sumps should be = 198434.59 m3 x 2 days
estimated for 2 continuous rainy days = 396869.18 m3
30% of the proposed study area in Stage III is sloping towards the = 30% of 396869.18 m3 = 119060.75 m3
surface tank at northeastern side and the entire storm water from 50% of 396869.18 m3 = 198434.59 m3
Stage II ( about 50% of the total estimated storm water) can be 20% of 396869.18 m3 = 79373.84 m3
diverted into the existing tank located in the central part of the site.
The r emaining 20% of the area is sloping towards eastern margin of
the industrial park. Hence, the total storm water will be divided
accordingly.
From the total estimated storm water 80% can be diverted in to the existing surface tanks the rest of the 20%
should be collected into the proposed 3 UG sumps, the required dimension of UG sumps are
Sump-1 (L x W x H) = 80m x 70m x 5m = 28000 m3
These three UG sumps should be placed at the suitable location along the eastern margin of the site
boundary.
The total collected storm water should be treated and it can be used for gardening and artificial recharge
through injection bore wells.
The detailed map for the diversion of storm water drain within the industrial area for Stage -II &
Stage III are presented in Annexure-8.

7.12 ARTIFICIAL RECHARGE
The growing competition for water is increased attention to the use of artificial recharge to
augment ground water supplies. Artificial recharge is a process by which excess surface water is
directed into the groundeither by spreading on the surface, by using recharge wells, or by
altering natural conditions to increase infiltration to replenish an aquifer. Artificial recharge is a
way to store water underground in times of water surplus to meet demand in times of
shortage.
Artificial recharge control land subsidence caused by declining ground water levels, maintain
base flow in some streams, and raise water levels to reduce the cost of ground water pumping.
It is useful to think of the entire artificial recharge operation as a water source undergoing a
series of treatment steps during which its composition changes. The constituents of potential
concern depend not only on the character of the source water, but also on its treatment prior
to recharge (pre-treatment), changes that occur as it moves through the soil and aquifer (soil-
aquifer processes), and treatment after withdrawal for use (post-treatment).
Based on the volumetric analysis of rainwater it is understood that, most of the storm water
(about 80%) can be diverted into the existing surface tanks through storm water drainage
network. The rest of 20% can be collected into the proposed three UG sumps for storage and
reutilization of storm water. It is suggested to have several injection bore wells at suitable
locations and the treated storm water should be infiltrated into these bore well for sustainable
development of groundwater.

8.6 CORPORATE SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

8.6.1 Introduction
Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR), also known as Corporate Responsibility, Corporate

Conscience, Corporate Citizenship, responsible business, Sustainable Responsible Business
(SRB), or Corporate Social Performance, is a form of corporate self-regulation integrated into a
business model. Ideally, CSR policy would function as a built-in, self-regulating mechanism
whereby business would monitor and ensure its support to ethical standards and international
norms. Consequently, business would adopt responsibility for the impact of its activities on the
environment, consumers, employees, Communities, Stakeholders and all other members of the
public sector. CSR focused businesses would proactively promote the public interest by
encouraging community growth and development, and voluntarily eliminating practices that
harm the public sector, regardless of legality.
Public Corporations have legal responsibilities to maximize shareholder profits, but a shift in
corporate mindset led by social expectations and pressure is causing business leaders to rethink
their responsibilities with respect to corporate performance measured in terms of economic
impact, Social Impact and environmental impact-commonly called the Triple Bottom Line.
Essentially, CSR is the deliberate inclusion of public interest into corporate decision-making, and
the honoring of a triple bottom line.
Economic growth is possible only through consumption of inputs available in the environment
and society. The harnessing of natural resources has a direct impact on the economy, the
environment and society at large. CSR is a concept whereby organizations serve the interests of
society by taking responsibility for the impact of their activities on customers, employees,
shareholders, communities and the environment in all aspects of their operations.
Thus CSR is a managements commitment to operate in an economically, socially and

environmentally sustainable manner, while recognizing the interests of its stakeholders. This
commitment is beyond statutory requirements. CSR is, therefore, closely linked with the
practice of sustainable Development. It extends beyond philanthropic activities and reaches out

to the integration of social and business goals. These activities need to be seen as those which
would, in the long term, help secure a sustainable competitive advantage.
8.6.2 Planning
The planning for CSR starts with the identification of the activities/projects to be undertaken.
CSR projects/activities may be undertaken in the periphery where project management carries
out its commercial activities as far as possible. Where this is not possible or applicable, than
project management may choose to locate CSR projects anywhere in the country. However,
specific CSR strategies will be developed that mandate the design of CSR Action Plan (Long-
term, medium-term and short-term), with a shift from the casual approach to the project based
accountability approach. The business plan under CSR shall be integrated with the social and
environment concerns related to the business of the proposed project.
Selection of activities under CSR would be made to ensure that the benefits reach the smallest
unit i.e Village, Panchayat, Block or District depending upon the operations and resource
capability of the proposed project. The approach to CSR planning will be shifted from an ad-hoc
charity to a long-term sustainable approach. The Project Managements monitoring skills
available would be shared as far as possible, with the local administration by training and
setting up required structures and systems. The long-term CSR Plan will match with the long
term Business Plan. This will be broken down into medium term and short term plans. Each of
these plans will be clearly specified the following
i) Requirements relating to baseline survey

ii) Activities to be undertaken
iii) Budgets allocated
iv) Time-lines prescribed
v) Responsibilities and authorities defined
vi) Major results expected
However, these plans shall also clearly specify the implementation guidelines and the
involvement of the implementing agency. The procedures and methodologies prescribed for
monitoring shall be highlighted as well as the modalities of the concurrent and final evaluation.
Finally, there would be a clear specification will be provided regarding mandatory
documentation of the experience.

8.6.3 Identification
CSR initiatives will be considered in the following parameters for identifications/selection of

schemes/projects as per the stipulated guidelines:
i) Thrust will be given wherever possible to areas related to the business of the proposed
project as a natural corollary to the business.
ii) Investment in CSR would be project based. Mere donations to philanthropic/charity or
other organizations would not come under the category of CSR.
iii) CSR activities would generate community goodwill, create social impact and visibility.
iv) For every project, the time-frame and periodic milestones would be finalized at the
outset.
v) CSR activities also involve the suppliers in order to ensure that the supply-chain also
follows the CSR principles.
vi) CSR activities help in building a positive image of the company in the public perception.
vii) CSR projects may be closely linked with the principles of sustainable Development.
Based on the immediate and long term social and environmental consequences of their
activities.
viii) Project management would take the shoulder responsibility for restoring/Compensating
for any ecological damage that is taking place as a result of its operations.
ix) Care will be taken to ensure that work towards fulfillment of the National Plan goals and
objectives, as well as the Millennium Development Goals adopted by our country,
ensure gender sensitivity, skill enhancement, entrepreneurship development and
employment generations by co-creating value with local institutions/people.
x) Project management will define their business continuity plan to factor in Hazards, risks
and vulnerabilities. They would also create value in innovative social investments in the
community and may focus on the areas of Preparedness and Capacity Building in
Disaster Management (DM).
xi) Public-Private Partnership between the Government and the Central Public Sector could
also be encouraged to leverage the strengths of the latter in Disaster Management.
needs to network with the Ministries in Government of India/NDMA at the National
Level and State Governments/SDMAs at the State Level to Strengthen and formalize
their role in the DM process for ensuring preparedness of the communities towards
disaster resilience.

8.6.4 Implementation and Funding
During primary data collection in the study area it has been noticed that there are good number
of unemployed local youth in the surrounding villages, an action plan will be proposed to train
the local employable youth, so that after relevant training they will be employed in the
proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III based on the
requirement of different stages.
Financial help will be provided to local youth (tuition fees, hostel charges, books, examination
fees, etc) of the study area in getting them trained in Industrial training institutes / centers,
Polytechnics in various trades like Electricians, Plumbers, Fitters, driving, etc. An approximate
amount of Rs. 11.0 Crore equivalent to 1% of the total project cost i.e., Rs.1100 Crore is
earmarked towards CSR Activities on annual basis as given below

CHAPTER 9
Environmental Cost Benefit Analysis
The potential Environmental Impacts envisaged from the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III are summarized below
Reduction in air pollution from common utilities & member industries of the proposed
Reduction in water pollution by establishing CETP/CSTP in the proposed
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III & member industries will treat their
effluents preliminarily and send to the CETP/CSTP for treatment and disposal and avoid
discharging in inland surface water and on land.
In the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III shall develop a
peripheral green belt in around the IA to minimize the disturbance in ecosystem due to various
industrial activities.
Member industries will also develop green belt around 15% in addition to the green belt
proposed to develop in the Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III by the developer.
Greenbelt has been developed in an eco-friendly manner to attain a healthy and clean
environment in and around the IA to balance and restore the eco-system and reduce the
pollutants.
Plantation also contributes towards environmental improvement in the following areas. Hence
we can adopt the International World Conservation Union (IWCU) classification or as per National

Legislation guidelines given by Government of India (GOI) & Ministry of Environment & Forests
(MOEF).
Prevent spreading fugitive dust and other atmospheric pollutants in the nearby areas.
Provide vegetative cover.
Serve as noise attenuator.
Increases the aesthetics of the surrounding; and
Provide resting, feeding and breeding site for fauna.
The lists of species recommended by local convention body, the Central Pollution Control Board
(CPCB). There by increase in fertility of soil during the green belt development program. The
surrounding plantations depicted the positive impacts of the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & III. Hence there should be no other impacts in the
surrounding environment.
Reuse of treated wastewater again in the Process/Plantation which reduces the requirement of
fresh water.

CHAPTER 10
Environmental Management Plan
10.1 INTRODUCTION
The proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III needs to be

intertwined with utilization of natural resources within the limits of permissible assimilative
capacity. The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is required to ensure sustainable
development in the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. Hence, it needs
proper Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to meet these objectives.
The Environmental Management Plan is an action plan aiming to control pollution at the source
level to the possible extent with the available and affordable technology followed by treatment
measures before they are discharged. It encompasses the mitigation measures that are
proposed in order to synchronize the economic development of the study area with the
environmental protection of the region.
10.2 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT DURING CONSTRUCTIONAL STAGE
The impacts during the constructional Stage of the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II
& Stage III on the environment would be basically of temporary in nature and are expected to
reduce gradually on completion of the constructional activities.
10.2.1 Air Quality Mitigation Measures
For the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, levelling and
grading will be carried out, where ever possible to maintain the natural elevations they will not
be disturbed, only levelling activity will be carried out for providing roads, sewage network,

storm water system, and places required for providing buildings for administrative,
production/manufacturing plant and other utility erections. According to the engineering
assessment; most of the excavated material shall be reused within the proposed
Most of the construction dust will be generated by the movement of carrying vehicles on
unpaved roads. Unloading and loading of constructional materials shall also act as a potential
source for dust nuisance. The control measures proposed to be taken up are given below.
1 Water sprinkling on main haul roads in the proposed development of IA will be

done, this activity will be carried out at least twice a day, if need arises frequency
will be increased on windy days, in this way around 50% reduction on the dust
contribution from the exposed surface will be achieved.
2 The duration of stockpiling will be as short as possible as most of the material will be
used as backfill material for the open cut trenches for road development.
3 Temporary tin sheets of sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the proposed
site for the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III as barrier
for dust control.
4 Tree plantations around the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III
boundary will be initiated at the early stages by plantation of 2 to 3 years old
samplings using drip irrigation so that the area will be moist for most part of the day.
5 All the vehicles carrying raw materials will be covered with tarpaulin / plastic sheet,
unloading and loading activity will be stopped during windy period.
6 To reduce the dust movement from civil construction site to the neighbourhood the
external part of the building will be covered by plastic sheets
Given the implementation of proper control measures for dust suppression, no adverse impacts
are expected and compliance with the Ambient Air Quality is achieved at ASRs (Air pollution
Sensitive Receivers) at all time.
10.2.2 Water Quality Mitigation Measures
During the development of proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III necessary
precautions will be taken, so that the runoff water from the proposed site gets collected to
working pit and if any over flow is, will be diverted to nearby greenbelt / plantation area.

At the time of construction in the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II

& Stage III, all the equipments washed water will be diverted to working pit to arrest the
suspended solids if any and the settled water will be reused for constructional purposes, and
for sprinkling on roads to control the dust emission, etc.
The waste generated from the proposed project site work shop of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III, will be segregated like used oil, lubricants, etc and disposed to authorized
recyclers the waste like soiled cotton, paper, etc will be disposed to municipal bins or sold out
to the authorised agencies.
The domestic wastewater generated from temporary toilets used by the work force will be
treated through sewage treatment plant and reused. Therefore, impact on water quality due to
the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III would be insignificant.
10.2.3 Noise Mitigation Measures
Noise generating equipment will be used during day time for brief period of its requirement.
Proper enclosures will be used for reduction in noise levels, where ever possible the noise
generating equipment will be kept away from the human habituation. Temporary tin sheets of
sufficient height (3m) will be erected around the noise generating activity or all around the
proposed site for development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III as barrier for
minimizing the noise travel to surrounding areas. Therefore, impact on noise environment due
to proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III would be
insignificant.
All vehicles entering into the proposed site for the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III will be informed to maintain speed limits, and not blow horns unless it is
required. Personal protective equipment like earmuffs, helmets covering ears would be
provided to the workers working near noise generating equipment and would see that workers
use the protective gadgets regularly.
10.2.4 Solid Waste Mitigation Measures
The solid waste generated during constructional period being predominantly inert in nature,
construction and demolition waste does not create any chemical or biochemical pollution.
However maximum effort would be made to reduce, reuse and recycle them. The most of the

solid waste material will be used for filing/ levelling of low-lying areas. All attempts will be
made to stick to the following measures.
1. All construction waste shall be stored within the proposed site for the development
of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III itself. A proper screen will be
provided so that the waste does not get scattered.
2. Attempts will be made to keep the waste segregated into different heaps as far as
possible so that their further gradation and reuse is facilitated.
3. Materials, which can be reused for purpose of construction, levelling, making roads/
pavement will also be kept in separate heaps from those which are to be sold or
land filled.
4. The local body or a private company may be arranged to provide appropriate
number of skip containers/ trolleys on hire.
The use of the construction material basically depends on their separation and conditions of
the separated material. A majority of these materials are durable and therefore, have a high
potential for reuse. It would, however, be desirable to have quality standards for the recycled
materials. Construction waste can be used in the following manner.
1. Reuse of bricks, tiles, stone slabs, timber, piping railings etc to the extent possible
and depending upon their conditions.
2. Sale/ auction of materials which cannot be used at the proposed site for the
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III due to design
constraint.
3. Plastics, broken glass, scrap metal, used cement bags, etc can be sold out to the
authorised agencies.
4. Rubble/ brick bats can be used for building activity, such as levelling, under coat of
lanes where the traffic does not constitute heavy moving loads.
5. Larger unusable pieces can be sent for filing up low lying areas.
6. Fine material such as sand, dust, etc can be used as cover material
7. The unearthed soil can be used for levelling as well as for lawn development
8. The broken pieces of the flooring material can be used for levelling in the building or
can be disposed off
9. The unused or remaining paints/varnishes/wood can either be reused or can be
disposed off to the authorised agencies.

10.2.5 Ecological Aspects
For the proposed project site for the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage
III, no major vegetation is present and hence there will not be any negative impact on the existing
plantation. However, the proponent is going for plantation along the boundary during
construction activity. A comprehensive green belt programme will improve the ecological
condition of the region.
10.2.6 Site Security
Adequate security arrangement would be made to ensure that the local inhabitants and the stray
cattle are not exposed to the potential hazards of construction activities.
10.3 MANAGEMENT DURING OPERATIONAL STAGE
Necessary control measures will be undertaken at the design stage to meet the statutory
requirements and towards minimizing environmental impacts.
The design basis for all member industries will lay special emphasis on measures to minimize
the effluent generation and emission control at source. The specific control measures related to
gaseous emissions, liquid effluent discharges, noise generation, solid waste disposal etc. are
described below:
10.3.1 Air Quality Management
a) Reduction of emissions at source
To control the dust particulates from the stacks to meet the MOEF standards through
appropriate air pollution control equipments are proposed. To control SO2 and NOX emissions
from DG set of member industries with sufficient height is proposed to meet the MOEF
guidelines.
b) Air pollution Control
The main sources of air pollution from the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III are Diesel Generator (DG) & boiler emissions. The Diesel Generator (DG) &
Boilers are being proposed & operated by the member industries in the proposed development

of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. The appropriate capacity of DG set & Boilers
are calculated for total IA and kept as backup power during power failure & emergency and
other purposes. The air pollution control measures to be adopted are summarized in Table
10.1.

using Respirable/Fine Dust Sampler (RDS) by gravimetric method.
The common DG Set & Boiler activities of member industries operating in the proposed
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, as part of an agreement - must
include the provision air pollution control equipments to attain the prescribed limits of NAAQ
Stds 2009 Indus. Resd, Rural & Others for Particulate Matter (<2.5m & 10 m ).
Control of sulphur dioxide emissions

To minimize the sulphur dioxide emission on ambient air, the stack height for letting of flue
gases at safe dispersion height has to meet the standards laid down by MoEF. The majority
source of SO2 emission will be due to due to DG set and boiler operations by the member

industries.
10.3.2 Water and Wastewater Quality Management
a) Water Management
The source of water for the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II &
Stage III is Hemavathi River to Kuppor Tank which is 20 km S from proposed site. The major part
of this water will be supplied to the member industries used for cooling purpose and the minor
part of this water will be used for domestic requirement.
b) Wastewater Generation
It is necessary/recommended to install full-fledged treatment plant for treating the industrial

effluents and sewage generated by the member industries & from common utilities in the
proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. But all the upcoming
member industries may be small and medium and not having their financial capacity to install
full-fledged treatment plant, they are discharging their substandard effluent on land and due to
that the problems ground water pollution in the said area may be created. Hence, it is
necessary/recommended to install Common Effluent and Sewage Treatment Plants
(CETP/CSTP) for treating the industrial effluents and sewage generated from such type of small
and medium scale industries.
A Common Effluent and Sewage Treatment Plants (CETP/CSTP) has been conceptualized and
recommended for effective treatment and disposal of effluents from the proposed
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III to meet the statutory
requirements for disposal and reuse.
10.3.3 Rain Water Harvesting and Storm Water Management
All along the road network and along the boundary wall of the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, storm water drains would be provided to collect
water during rains. The storm water drain would be adequately sized to prevent flooding of the
site, the storm water drains would contain check dams at appropriate distances to retain water
for maximum in filtering of the rainwater into ground so that the aquifer can get maximum
recharge. It is also proposed to have rainwater harvesting structures for recharge of roof top
rainwater and rain water of paved surface at adjacent of respective buildings. Treatment for
silt, oil & grease removal will be provided to rainwater harvesting recharging pit, the required

quantity of the treated rainwater will be diverted into fresh water storage tank. The overflow
from the harvesting pit and storm water of road / open space will be collected through road
side storm water drains and left into natural drain.
Under CSR activity to improve the recharging capacity of the aquifer greenbelt development
and construction of check dams along the natural drains will be taken up.
10.4 NOISE LEVEL MANAGEMENT
All the noise generating equipments in the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II &
Stage III must be designed not to exceed the noise levels 85-90 dB (A) as per the OSHA
(Occupational Safety and Health Administration) Standards.
The equipments shall be provided with acoustic shields or enclosures to minimize the sound
level inside the member industries of the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III. The greenbelt will be developed to prevent noise generation beyond the IA
or boundary.
The following measures are suggested to keep the noise levels within the permissible standards
in member industries.
Noise barriers will be placed around the stationary noise generating equipment of the
proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III and also along
the side of moving objects
All noise generating machines like pumps, compressors, etc shall be properly serviced
and mounted on anti vibration pads to reduce the noise generation.
The DG set shall be provided by Acoustic enclosure.
Proper maintenance of transportation vehicles.
In addition to this, the entire open area and in the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III boundary shall be provided with adequate green
belt to minimize the noise levels.
The proponents of member industries during operation of their plants would monitor the noise
levels within and outside the plant on regular basis to attain national standards for air quality
with respect to noise are strictly adhered to. Corrective action would be initiated immediately
in case of any deviations are found during the course of monitoring.

10.5 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT
The waste generated by the member industries / manufacturing units can be classified as
Manufaturing Process Waste May fall under the hazardous waste category
Waste from Utilities such as ash, paper & plastic and other packing waste
Pollution Control facilities- Primary ETP sludge etc.,
All the member industries coming up in the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage
III, With respect to the category and type of waste, member industries will segregate and store
the waste temporarly in an earn marked area, if required will utilize the services of the
Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility (CHWMF) which is already existing near
Dobaspet on NH 207. All the hazardous waste from member industries will be transported to
CHWMF facility for treatment and for further safe disposal as per the statutory requirement
and procedures. Safe storage and transportation of the produced solid and hazardous waste is
the total responsibility of the member industry.
10.6 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT
In order to comply with the MoEF guidelines for greenbelt development within the proposed
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, KIADB is planning to develop thick green belt of tall
and evergreen plants @ 33 % along the periphery and on the either sides of the roads of the
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III and additional greenbelt will be developed under CSR
activity in nearby open areas (Schools, gardens, along the roads, etc.). The width of the
shelterbelt will vary from 5 to 20 m in different areas depending on the availability of land. The
greenbelt with a density of about 2500 plants per hectare will be developed. If the area is
suitable, three storey or three tier plantations are also planned.
KIADB will also instruct and make an agreement (MOU) with member industries to develop
green belt @ 15% inside and along the periphery of the member industries.

All plants are locally adapted and the present site can support their growth with suitable
horticultural practices. Sufficient space, resources and man power for development and
maintenance are provided in the plan.
Green belt development is one of the most effective environmental pollution control measure.
Trees play vital role in the environment in preventing the horizontal dispersion of the pollutants
to the surrounding areas. They are very effective in trapping the pollution causing agents viz.
dust and gaseous pollutants. They are also considered to be excellent indicators of excessive
ground level concentrations. The green belt is being proposed for the following objectives.
Mitigation of fugitive dust emissions

Noise pollution control
Prevention of soil erosion
Balancing eco environment
Aesthetics
Apart from the bulk plantation in vacant areas, roadside avenue plantations, parks will also be
taken up. The placement of the plants would be designed as follows:
Trees growing up to 10 m or more in height with thick canopy cover and perennial
foliage would be planted around the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II &
Stage III.
Planting of trees would be done in rows with minimum three rows encircling perimeter
of the installation. While planting the trees care would be taken that the installation
structure would be difficult to see through foliage when seen from a point outside the
green envelope. For preventing the horizontal dispersion of pollutants, if any, the trees
planted in alternate rows would fall in straight line.
Trees would be planted on roadside for containment of vehicular traffic emissions and
fugitive emissions due to the movement of vehicles.
Tree trunk being free foliage up to a height of 2 to 3 m, it is proposed to grow shrubs in

front of trees so as to give coverage to the open portion.

Sensitive species like Mangifera indica would be planted in patches along the entire
green belt to work as an indicator of pollution potential.
10.7 FIRE PROTECTION SERVICES
Fire protection is one of the most essential services in the proposed development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III and Over Head Water Storage Tanks with a
required storage capacity shall be constructed by the member industries of the proposed
projects and maintain as a fire reservoir.
All the member industries within the in the proposed development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of
Stage II & Stage III are expected to have their own unit/site specific fire protection system and
the common fire protection system as additional backup and support required combating any
eventualities due to fire accidents.
In addition to this, a fire protection station is recommended with adequate fire protection
personnel and other standard fire protection devices to attend to the fire calls from the
industries within the estate.
The fire fighting facilities listed above are planned for combating the emergency in the
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. However during the allotment of
lands/approvals for setting up of the units, the KIADB management shall follow the prospective
unit/industry will comply with the guidelines laid down in the safety policy of the proposed
development of Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & III.

11.2 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT AND PROJECT PROPONENT
KIADB identified the land and wanted to develop an industrial area with a purpose to promote
an orderly development of industries in the state.
Any activity aimed at development will have repercussions on the environment, both positive
and negative. Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is a management tool, which
enables the proponent to identify the negative impacts and to mitigate the negative impacts
through appropriate Environmental Management Plans. Hence KIADB as a part of the
compliance to the regulatory requirement i.e. to obtain Environment Clearance (EC) from
Environmental Appraisal Committee (EAC) / Ministry of Environment & Forests (MOEF), have
appointed a consultant to carry out the studies for the development of Vasanthanarasapura IA
of Stage II & Stage III.
11.3 NEED OF THE PROJECT

2. More employment opportunities will be generated
3. Physical infrastructure development such as improvement to roads, UGD lines, street
lights etc will take place
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, at this juncture will be welcomed by all the parties
concerned, viz. IT/BT Precision & Electronic Industries, Garments and Food
parts, Automobile industry, etc. Keeping the Environmental Management as the focal issue
right from the Industrial Area (IA) Layout stage will definitely herald a new era in the
sustainable industrial growth in harmony with the environment. The development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III has a potential to prove that the Industrial
development and environment protection can go hand in hand in contrast to the general
feeling that the industrialization leads to pollution.

The following are the mitigation measures adopted for the development of
1. Implementation of rainwater ha rvesting ponds at the bounda ry of the tanks in order to
recharge ground water table.
2. KIADB has instructed member industries to adopt rainwater ha rvesting systems to meet
the water demand.

Fugitive dust due to construction work and vehicle movement. Apart from the small scale,
water spray would be considered to suppress the dust emission at site as well on road.
During Operation
DG set & Boiler stacks and other process emissions are passed through appropriated air
pollution control units/treatment systems and vented through stack meeting the CPCB
standards.
Effluents (Wastewater)
Domestic effluents collected and treated in CSTP, the treated water will be used for
greenbelt development.
Common effluents from the process of individual units will collected and treated in CETP,
partly reused and excess if any disposed as per the EC/CFE norms.
Solid Waste
Solid waste would be segregated, collected and stored in an earn marked storage yard and
hand over to the CHWMF (Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility) for appropriate
treatment and disposal.
Un burnt or contaminated oil would be collected a nd stored in drums for disposal to
authorized purchaser.
further hand over to the authorized facility for treatment and disposal.
Metal Scrap would be collected and sold to the authorized purchaser.

11.5 OBJECTIVE & SCOPE OF THE STUDY
The objective of an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) study is to identify, predict,

evaluate, and mitigate the biophysical and other relevant effects by the development of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, prior to the major decisions and commitments
were made. These studies integrate the environmental concerns and mitigation measures into

11.12 ROAD NETWORK
As the industrial area is adjacent to the National Highway 4, a 30 m wide central roa d with
median is proposed for main entry into the layout. For smooth flow of traffic in the layout 18 m
wide roads are proposed as arterial roads.
11.13 TRAFFIC PROJECTION
The transport dema nd is a function of land use. The land use will be developed in phases and it
has been taken from the approved plan of Industrial area and it will be used for traffic demand
projections. Some broad assumptions have also been made about trip generating potential of

the various land uses in different horizon years. The attraction to the study area from
surrounding areas is based on assumptions. Some of the broad assumptions are as follows
Total estimated manpower: 145000 for 3 shifts
Each shift = 145000 /3 = 48333 for all vehicles.
I. 95% of 48333 = 45918 manpower will be coming to the companies by walk from nea rby
areas
II. 5 % of 48333 = 2416 manpower will be coming through Company, Govt & Other Private
vehicles.
In IInd part of 5 %; It was assumed that 30% busses (53.65 PCU/hr); 2% Lorries (177.6
PCU/hr); 10% cars (60 PCU/hr):30% autos (206 PCU/hr); 28% two wheelers (253.5 PCU/hr)
will be coming daily to the IA.
Total PCU/hr = 750.75 say 751
11.14 EFFLUENT CONVEYANCE SYSTEM
Sewage generation from the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, has been
assumed as 90% of the domestic water demand. Sewage and industrial effluents will be
collected through separate network of pipes planned along either sides of road. From the pipes
sewage and industrial effluents will reach Common Effluent & Sewage Treatment Plants for
treatment & disposal. Tertiary treated water will be supplied to the cooling towers for member
industries and for gardening purpose.
11.15 COMMON WASTE WATER TREATMENT PLANTS
Appropriate area of land has been earma rked for CETP & CSTP in the proposed site of
Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III. The CETP & CSTP will be designed based on the
effluent characteristics and quantity. Adequate treatment units will be provided to ensure that
the treated effluent meets the prescribed CPCB/SPCB standards.
The member industries will also treat their effluents preliminarily to meet the stipulate
standard as prescribed by the CETP/CSTP which are constructing in the industrial area of Stage
II & III.

11.16 STORM WATER MANAGEMENT
The ground is very undulating & terrain is flat with a gentle slope. While designing storm water
drainage system, all these factors will be considered. Storm water drains will be planned along
the sides of the roads to collect the surface run off water from the roads and make a plan that
the surface water from the drains will be led into natural valleys.
11.17 HAZARDOUS WASTE MANAGEMENT
All industries coming up in the proposed Vasanthanarasapura IA of Stage II & Stage III, if
required will utilize the services of the Common Hazardous Waste Management Facility
(CHWMF) which already exists in the near Dobaspet on NH 207. All the hazardous waste from
member industries will be transported to CHWMF facility for treatment and for further safe
disposal as per the statutory requirement and procedures. Safe storage and transportation of
the produced solid and hazardous waste is the total responsibility of the member industry.
11.18 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT
The baseline data generation has been carried out for the month of Winter Season (2012-13).
The baseline data generation with respect to meteorological conditions, air pollution levels,
noise levels, water quality, soil quality were carried out and flora and fauna (secondary data)
were collected during the study period. The predominantly wind is blown from E, ESE and ENE.
11.18.1 Air Quality
The air quality monitoring locations were established and the results obtained are summarized
below.
The minimum and maximum level of PM (<2.5m & 10 m size) were recorded in the study
area ranging from 15.9 to 34.6 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 23.4 g/m3 to
34.4 g/m3 for 2.5 m. and 36.1 to 60.3 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 46.5
g/m3 to 59.8 g/m3 for 10 size particulates.

The minimum and maximum level of SO 2 were recorded in the study area was in the range of
10.3 g/m3 to 24.8 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 16.4 g/m3 to 24.7 g/m3.
The minimum and maximum levels of NOx were recorded in the study area ranging from 12.9
g/m3 to 31.2 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 21.1 g/m3 to 30.5 g/m3.
The 24 hourly average values of PM (< 2.5 m & 10 m),SO2 & NOx were compa red with the
NAAQS Standards (2009) for Indus. Resd, Rural & others and it was found that the recorded
values in all sampling stations were within the applicable limits.
The minimum and maximum levels of Ozone (O3) were recorded in the study area ranging from
8.1 g/m3 to 26.4 g/m3 with the 98th percentile ranging between 16.3 g/m3 to 25.7 g/m3.
