1. LAND ENVIRONMENT
(Attach panoramic view of the project site and the vicinity)
1.1 Will the existing landuse get significantly altered from the project that is not consistent with the
surroundings? (Proposed landuse must confirm to the approved Master Plan / Development Plan of the
area. Change of landuse if any and the statutory approval from the competent authority to be submitted).
Attach Maps of (i) site location, (ii) surrounding features of the proposed site (within 500 meters) and (iii)
the site (indicating levels & contours) to appropriate scales. If not available attach only conceptual plans.
Ans: The proposed project is of modification and expansion of an ongoing development of a residential
complex, AVIDIPTA, to be developed by M/s Bengal Peerless Housing Development Company Ltd. The
area of the land is 51,273.24 sq.m (12.67 Acres). The landuse of the project site is compatible with the
project. In the expansion proposal, four residential towers (HIG = 2, MIG = 1, LIG = 1), interconnected
rd
from basement to 3 floor will be proposed in addition to the ongoing project. Existing phase (Phase I) has
already obtained the Environmental Clearance from SEIAA, West Bengal (EC No. EN/3170/T-IV-
7/001/2009 dated 10.12.2009). Total numbers of flats in Phase I (existing phase) is 1064 and in the
proposed expansion phase i.e. Phase II, another 660 residential flats will be constructed. Thus, total
number of flats (including the existing & proposed phases) in this project will be 1064 + 660 = 1724 nos.
Built up area of the existing phase (Phase I) is 1,25,695.837 sq.m and in the proposed expansion phase
(Phase II) additional built up area will be 95,226.90 sq.m. Thus, total built up area including the existing
& expansion phases will be (1,25,695.837 + 95,226.90) sq.m = 2,20,922.737 sq.m. The development will
be purely residential in nature. Moreover, surrounding area of the project site is predominantly residential
except along the abutting E.M. Bypass and Mukundapur Road, where mixed landuse has been noticed.
Mostly, low rise residential houses and few apartments exist. Thus, proposed development is fully
consistent with the designated landuse of the land and the surroundings.
Maps showing site location, surrounding features, concept proposal etc. are attached in Annexure-1.1 for
reference.
1.2 List out all the major project requirements in terms of the land area, built up area, water consumption,

1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the proposed site?
(Such as open spaces, community facilities, details of the existing landuse, disturbance to the local
ecology).
Ans: The probable impacts due to the proposed Residential Complex on the existing facilities will be both short-
term and long-term in nature. Some of the impacts will be beneficial to the community. On the other hand,
some of the impacts might be adverse in nature. The likely beneficial and adverse impacts due to the
proposed project are:
A. Impact on Open Spaces
While developing the proposed construction, adequate preventive measures will be adopted to control the
fugitive emission, wastewater and construction waste reuse & disposal procedures, so that the open
spaces around the project site do not get affected. During the operational phase also adequate preventive
measures will be taken for controlling the above issues. While executing the project, minimum disturbance
to the land within the project site will be done. Thus, impact of the proposed project on adjacent open
spaces will be minimized.
B. Impact on Community Facilities

Presently the most prominent community facility that exists in the immediate surroundings of the project

site is Metro Cash & Carry Outlet. However, that outlet is mostly concerned with wholesale trading of
household items. Apart from that few organized market centers and shopping malls are also located
abutting E.M. Bypass in the close vicinity of the project site. Moreover, few roadside shops are located
along the Mukundapur Road. Three renowned medical institutions namely R.N. Tagore Institute of Cardiac
Science, Shankar Netralaya and Medica are located very close to the project site. Apart from them, other
prominent Medical Institutions namely Peerless Hospital, Ruby General Hospital, Desun Hospital, Genesis
etc. are also located in the close vicinity of project site. Regarding educational facilities, Calcutta
International School and Heritage Institute of Technology are located at a distance of around 1.5 to 2 km
from project site. Thus, due to the proposed development, existing community facilities are expected to be
more functional.
C. Impact on Existing Landuse

The previous landuse of the project site has been transformed into residential. Landuse of surrounding
area is also predominantly residential. Thus, landuse of proposed project will be compatible with the
surroundings.
D. Impact on Local Ecology

The project site existing tree which will be retained as preliminarily assessed. Thus, there lies no scope of
clearing or modification of trees and plantation due to the proposed project. Moreover, quite a number of
trees will be planted within this complex. Therefore, local ecology will get improved.
1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence & instability? (Details of soil
type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc. may be given.
Ans: The soil of the study area has been developed under the dominant influence of river, vegetation and
climatic factors. The area is under heavy anthropogenic pressure due to different human activities. The
soil of the area consists mainly of sand, silt and clay, deposited by river, partly under river and partly under
flat plains. The colour of the soil is grayish. pH of soil inside the site is 7.23. Percentage of sand, silt and
clay are 15%, 55% & 30% respectively. Soil texture is silty clay loam. Nitrogen, Potassium and
Phosphorus percentage is 950mg/kg, 85 mg/kg and 310 mg/kg respectively. Soil analysis report is
enclosed in Annexure 1.4.
The site is leveled and situated above the flood level of the region; though the existing ground level of the
project site is little lower than the abutting road. Therefore, a very few appreciable contours are observed.
Moreover, a couple of depressions within the site are also noticed. Also, as the building blocks will have
foundation, therefore excavation of earthwork and piling activities will take place. Therefore, while
executing the project, the existing ground level will be modified. But, adequate measure will be taken to
minimize the land disturbance of the project site and surrounding areas.
Subsoil condition at the site indicates a typical normal Kolkata deposit with the presence of cohesive
deposit of different consistency upto a great depth below G.L. & thereafter sandy deposit occurs. Beyond
the sandy deposit there is a very thick hard cohesive underlain by again a deep deposit of sand upto the
maximum explored depth of 50.0m below G.L. The subsoil is more or less uniform over the entire area
with minor variation in the thickness of individual stratum. Based on the sequence of stratification, the
generalized soil profile at the site may be summarized as given below:
Stratum Below Average Thickness Description

E.G.L. (m)
Stratum-I 1.26 Brownish grey silty clay mixed with grass
roots & brick packs, underlain by dark grey
puddle clay, again underlain by soft
brownish grey silty clay.
Stratum-II 2.56 Brownish grey silty clay / clayey silt with
traces of kankars & brown silt spots.
Stratum-III 8.40 Soft grey silty clay with varying percentage
of decomposed wood.
Stratum-IV 4.60 Stiff bluish grey / mottled brown high plastic

silty clay with traces of kankar and silt spots.

Stratum-V 0.56 Very stiff mottled brown clayey silt with
micaceous fine sandy lenses.
Stratum-VA 3.64 Very stiff brown very low plastic sandy
clayey silt / clayey sandy silt with traces of
mica.
Stratum-VI 7.52 Very dense brown fine to medium sand
Stratum-VII 11.40 & more than 2.45

Stiff / hard mottled brown / mottled blue high
& 1.95 plastic silty clay with laminar formation of
fine sand, kankars and traces of yellow silt
spots & kankars.
Stratum-VIII 3.20 Hard mottled dark brown clayey silt with
laminar formation of micaceous fine sand.
Stratum-IX > 32.45, 6.95 & 31.95 Very dense brownish yellow / brown silty
fine sand with traces of mica & clay as
binder.
The surrounding area of the project site is predominantly residential. No mining or any other underground
activity is carried on in and around the campus. Thus, regarding the subsidence, the project is not at all
vulnerable.
The area under study falls in Zone-III according to the Indian Standard Seismic Zoning Map. Suitable
seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical directions respectively, will be adopted while designing the
structures. There are no chances of floods and landslide as the project site is located at a flat terrain and
above the flood level of the region.
1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contour map showing
the natural drainage near the proposed project site)
Ans: The project site does not have any water body or natural drainage stream, however considerable
undulation has been noticed. No pond is located in the immediate surroundings of the project site. A
drainage canal carrying the citys wastewater is flowing along the north direction around a couple of
kilometer from the project site. But, that is not going to be affected or altered due to the proposed project.
Contour plan is enclosed in Annexure 1.5.
1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-cutting, filling, reclamation etc.
(Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill materials from outside the site etc.)
Ans: The quantity of earthwork for expansion phase is as follows:

Earthwork in excavation = 13,500 cu.m (approx.). Excavated earthwork will be reused for site grading and
the surplus volume, if any, will be disposed to authorized collection agency. The top soil will be excavated
separately and reused for landscaping.
1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during construction period.
Ans: During construction stage, required water of 25 kLD will be supplied by Kolkata Municipal Corporation. In
case of inadequacy, water from the existing bore-well at site may be used, permission for which has
already been obtained from the concerned authority. Construction waste will also be disposed to
authorized agency of the K.M.C.
1.8 Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and wetlands are getting
modified from the proposed activity)
Ans: During the field visit, the land of the project site is found to be little undulated. Also, low lying area has
been found in and around the project site. But, the project site does not have any water body or natural
drainage stream. Therefore, there remains no chance for any wetland or low lying area to get modified
from the proposed activity.

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give quantities of various
types of wastes generated during construction including the construction labour and the means of
disposal)
Ans: As already stated, the project site has the existing building blocks (Phase I). Thus, no scope of
dismantling is involved herewith. However, during construction some construction waste in the form of
unused concrete, mortar, brickbats, wooden planks etc., the quantity of which will vary from 2 5% of
respective material consumption.
Effective material management and environmental management measures will be adopted in order to
minimize the volume of construction waste. It is difficult to quantify the volume of construction waste
because of the following factors:
Phasing of construction activities
Skilled workmanship
Recycling of such waste.
Concrete Waste and Cement Mortar Waste will be reused for site development activities. Brick Waste will
also be reused for preparation of sub-base of internal roads and pavements.
The domestic waste from the working as well as residing labourers will also be generated, the volume of
which has been preliminarily assessed as 30 kg/day. This waste will also be disposed to municipal waste
collection department.
2. WATER ENVIRONMENT
2.1 Give the total quantity of water requirement for the proposed project with the breakup of requirements for
various uses. How will the water requirement met? State the sources & quantities and furnish a water
balance statement.
Ans: The total water requirement during both the construction and operational stages of the proposed project,
the probable sources & available quantities and water balance statement is furnished below:
The water requirement for the proposed project can be divided into two stages:
Construction Stage
Operational Stage
i) Water Requirement at Construction Stage

Water requirement for Concrete Work = 6,488 kL
Water requirement for Brickwork = 13,786 kL
Water requirement for Plastering = 6,788 kL
Water requirement for Flooring = 5,560 kL
Thus, total water requirement for above-stated construction activities is 32,622 kL. Considering 10%
of the above water required for site development activities, total water requirement for construction
and site development is 35,884 kL. Considering total duration of construction period as 60 months i.e.
1825 working days; daily water requirement for construction activities is 19.662 kL say 20 kL.
Apart from the construction activities, the labourers residing at the project site will also require water. It
is assumed that there will be average 100 labourers working at a time at the project site and about
50% of them, i.e. 50 labourers on an average will be residing at the project site. Considering per
capita water requirement as 70 litres per day for their household activities, daily water requirement
under this head will be 3500 litres or 3.5 kLD. Water consumption for the non resident labourers will
be 50 x @30 lpcd = 1500 litres or 1.5 kLD.
Therefore, during the construction phase, total daily water requirement will be 20.0 kLD + 3.5 kLD +
1.5 kLD = 25 kLD.

ii) Water Requirement during Operational Stage
a) Domestic Consumption (Phase I) = 800 kLD

Type of User Per capita Water No. of Users Water Consumption
Consumption
Residents 150 lpcd 5212 persons 781.8 kLD
Floating Popn. 15 lpcd 521 persons 7.815 kLD
Service Staff 45 lpcd 200 persons 9.0 kLD
Sub - Total 5933 persons 798.615 say 800 kLD
Domestic Consumption (Phase II) = 455 kLD

Type of User Per capita Water No. of Users Water Consumption
Consumption
Residents 150 lpcd 2976 persons 446.4 kLD
Floating Popn. 15 lpcd 298 persons 4.47 kLD
Service Staff 45 lpcd 100 persons 4.5 kLD
Sub - Total 3374 persons 455.37 say 455 kLD
Thus, Domestic Consumption for total project (Phase I + II) = 1255 kLD..(i)
Dual plumbing will be considered for Phase II. Hence, out of 455 kLD, 1/3 rd volume i.e. 152 kLD will
be consumed for toilet flushing, where treated wastewater will be used. Thus, required freshwater for
the total project will be at the tune of [800 + (455 152) kLD] = 1103 kLD.
b) Water Reqd. for Car Cleaning = 19 kLD(ii)

Car Parks provided in Phase I = 765
Considering 75% of the cars to be cleaned in a day, water required for car cleaning = 765 X 20
litres/car X 75% = 11.5 say 12 kLD
Additional Car Parks provided in Phase II = 466
Considering 75% of the cars to be cleaned in a day, water required for car cleaning = 466 X 20
litres/car X 75% = 6.99 kLD say 7 kLD
Hence, total water for car cleaning required for the entire project = (12 + 7) kLD = 19 kLD
c) Water consumption for landscaping = 113 kLD(iii)

Landscaping Water Requirement for Phase I (Existing Phase)
Plot Area = 51,273.24 sq.m i.e.5.13 Ha
Considering 20% of the plot area to be as green surface covered by trees etc.;
Area under green cover is 20% of 5.13 Ha i.e. 1.026 Ha
Assuming 700 trees per Ha, required trees within site is 1.026X 700 = 718.2 say 718.
Existing nos. of trees = 40, all of which will be retained
Proposed no. of trees = 680
Total no. of trees = (40 + 680) = 720
Considering water consumption as 70 litres/tree (based on the evapo-transpiration rate as
6mm on average, irrigation efficiency as 85% and plant factor as 0.4)
Water consumption by the trees is 720 X 70 litres = 50.4 kLD.
Assuming water requirement for maintenance of semi paved area to be 5 lit/sq.m, water
required will be (11,812.50 x 5) = 59.06 say 59 kLD
Thus, landscaping water requirement is (50.4 + 59) = 109.4 say 109 kLD.
Total Landscaping Water Requirement (Phase I + II)

Plot Area = 51,273.24 sq.m i.e.5.13 Ha
Considering 20% of the plot area to be as green surface covered by trees etc.;
Area under green cover is 20% of 5.13 Ha i.e. 1.026 Ha
Assuming 700 trees per Ha, required trees within site is 1.026X 700 = 718.2 say 718.
Existing nos. of trees = 40, all of which will be retained
Proposed no. of trees = 680
Total no. of trees = (40 + 680) = 720
Considering water consumption as 70 litres/tree (based on the evapo-transpiration rate as

6mm on average, irrigation efficiency as 85% and plant factor as 0.4)

Water consumption by the trees is 720 X 70 litres = 50.4 kLD.
Assuming water requirement for maintenance of semi paved area to be 5 lit/sq.m, water required will
be (12,629.50 x 5) = 63.15 say 63 kLD.
Hence, Landscaping Water Requirement for total project = (50.4 + 63) kLD = 113.4 say 113 kLD.
d) Water Reqd. for Internal Road Cleaning = 13 kLD..(iv)

In Phase I, area of internal roads is 6000 sq.m.
Considering water consumption as 150 litre/100 sq.m, water requirement for road cleaning = 6000
sq.m X 150/100 = 9000 litre/day or 9.0 kLD.
In Phase II, additional surface area for internal roads is 2,464.92 sq.m
Considering water consumption as 150 litre/100 sq.m, additional water requirement for Phase II will
be (2,464.92 X 150/100) litres/day = 3.7 kLD, say 4 kLD.
Hence, Internal Road Cleaning Water Requirement for total project = (9 + 4) kLD = 13 kLD
e) Water Requirement for Fire Fighting

Static water demand for firefighting purpose will be according to the fire departments
recommendation. In this case, two underground water reservoirs of total capacity 300 kLD will be
provided for satisfying the requirement of Phase - II. For Phase - I, 500 kLD capacity fire water
reservoir is provided.
Total Water Consumption = (1255 + 19 + 113 + 13) = 1400 kLD

(Water requirement for fire-fighting is not considered as it is a static demand)
SOURCES OF WATER SUPPLY

Probable sources for water supply are from municipal supply, existing bore-well at site, treated wastewater
from S.T.P. and rooftop rainwater during monsoon.
WATER BALANCE DURING OPERATIONAL STAGE

Water balance for the proposed complex has been done in following way:
Water Requirement for domestic purposes = 1255 kLD (source : freshwater and tr. waste water)
Water Requirement for car cleaning = 19 kLD (source : roof-top rainwater)
Water Requirement for internal road cleaning = 13 kLD (source : treated wastewater)
Water Requirement for landscaping =113 kLD (source : treated wastewater)
Total Water Requirement per day = 1400 kLD
(this quantity excludes the fire-fighting requirement, as that is a static demand)
Net Freshwater Requirement from municipal Source = 1103 kLD.
Daily average available Rainwater from Rooftop = 24.00 kLD

The Water Balance Diagram is enclosed in Annexure 2.1.
In this project, two sewage treatment plants will be provided for the two phases. Thus, treated wastewater
will be partially reused for different secondary purposes like landscaping, etc. Rest volume of treated
wastewater will be discharged into municipal drain lying along Mukundapur Road.
2.2 What is the capacity (dependable flow or yield) of the proposed source of water?
Ans: During the operation phase, required fresh water will be supplied by Kolkata Municipal Corporation. They
are supposed to treat the surface water from river Ganga and supply. During the construction phase also,
required water will be available from the said authority. However, in the event of inadequate water supply
from municipal source, groundwater will be abstracted from a bore-well for which prior permission is
already obtained from the concerned authority.
Geological formation of the study area controls the occurrence of groundwater. The area is occupied of
Alluvial sediments of Recent to Sub-Recent age. The sediments in the upper part have been deposited by
Adi-Ganga river system. The Alluvial sediments comprises sand, fine to coarse, gravel and clay beds. The
thickness of the aquifer at different vertical dispositions varies widely. By and large, the area is covered by
a 30 to 40 m thick clay blanket, beneath which occurs a 30m thick aquifer consisting of coarse sand and

gravel. However, there exists a thick impermeable clay layer between 70m and 235m depth. This clay bed
often contains sand lenses. The second aquifer system (235m-265m) and the third aquifer (323m-357m)
is separated by a thick clay layer (50m-60m). Below the depth of 357m, a very thick clay layer (357m-
612m) persists down to the explored depth of about 600m. The grain size of the aquifer becomes very fine
to fine at the deeper level, specially below 300m depth.
Although the upper first aquifer is quite fresh, recently high incidence of Arsenic has been reported in
ground water. Groundwater occurring in sand lenses within clay layer is brackish to saline. The second
and third aquifer occurring within the depth span of 235m to 323m contain fresh potable arsenic-free
groundwater, which is suitable for drinking water supply.
2.3 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a municipal source? (Provide physical,
chemical, biological characteristics with class of water quality)
Ans: Not applicable. The water will be taken from municipal source during its operation, though a couple of
bore-well exists within the site. However, to appraise the quality of groundwater in the region, sample
from an existing tube well inside the project site has been collected and analyzed in a laboratory. The
sample has been found suitable for potable use. The analysis report is enclosed in Annexure 2.3.
2.4 How much of the water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater? (Give the
details of quantities, sources and usage)
Ans: About 278.00 kLD of treated wastewater from the Wastewater Treatment Network (19.86% of total water
requirement for the project) will be reused for different secondary purposes like Landscaping, Site
Maintenance etc.
2.5 Will there be diversion of water from the users? (Please assess the impacts of the project on other existing
uses and quantities of consumption)
Ans: In the proposed project, there will not be diversion of water from the users.
2.6 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed activity? (Give
details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the proposed activity)
Ans: During the operational stage of the proposed project, the average daily domestic demand of water will be
1255 kLD. Therefore, generated wastewater will be in the tune of around 1004kLD (80% of water
consumption), which will be treated in two S.T.P.s (Phase I 640 kLD, Phase II 364 kLD). Expected
composition of raw and treated wastewater (as per CPHEEO manual) which will be reused for different
secondary purposes (mentioned above) are listed below.
Expected Wastewater Quality
Parameter Raw Wastewater Quality Treated Wastewater Quality
pH 6.5 7.5 6.5 7.5
BOD (in mg/l) 200 250 <10
COD (in mg/l) 250 350 <100
TSS (in mg/l) 150 250 <20
Oil & Grease (in mg/l) 45 60 <10
Thus, from the above table, it can be mentioned that the treated discharge is within the permissible limit
and hence will not impose additional incremental pollution load.
2.7 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities created.
Ans: Rainwater harvesting procedure is followed by the SEAC Guidelines, West Bengal.
The method of storing rainwater does not include the collection of rainwater from ground surface.
Rainwater from roofs of the building blocks will be collected through numbers of rainwater pipes and
channeled at through a separate network of underground drains, which will ultimately lead into a couple of
underground reservoir. The runoff from the ground surface will be channeled through the storm water
drains and finally discharged into the municipal storm water drain.

The expected availability has been assessed and mentioned below:

According to the guidelines, RWH potential in 1000 sqm Roof Area is considered to be 7,68,000 litres and
the storage facility to be created from 1000 sq.m Roof Area is 3 lacs litre (for 10 to 15 storied buildings &
above),2.5 lacs litres (6 to 10 storied buildings) and 1.5 lacs (for 3-5 storied buildings) respectively.
Rooftop rainwater will first be collected into collection reservoir and the overflow will be directed to
recharge wells within the site.
RAINWATER COLLECTION RESERVOIR CAPACITY ASSESSMENT (Existing Phase I)

Following the stated guidelines, rainwater harvesting potential for storage is 21,95,316 litres/annum, say
22,00,000 litres/annum. Detail calculation is shown below:-
Considering the duration of monsoon as 120 days, daily available rooftop rainwater for collection during
monsoon is 22,00,000/120 = 18.33 kLD = 18 kLD.
Out of 18 kLD, 12kLD of the collected rooftop rainwater will be used for car cleaning. Remaining 6kLD will
be stored in collection reservoir. However during the monsoon total volume of surplus rainwater that may
be collected is 120 x 6.0 kLD= 720 kL.
Thus, required volume of collection reservoir is 720 kL. However, in our design proposal, we are providing
6 collection reservoirs having total 1500 kL.
RAINWATER RECHARGE WELL CAPACITY ASSESSMENT (Existing Phase I)

Volume of rainwater to be recharged through recharge wells is Volume of rainwater to be recharged
through recharge pits is [(7,68,000 X 8000/1000) X 60%] = 61,44,000 litres/annum or 6144 kL/annum.
Considering the monsoon period as 120 days, daily average recharge volume available is 6144/120 =
51.2 kLD say 51 kLD. Hence we can propose seven recharge wells within the site each of which can
provide recharge up to 8 kL per day.

RAINWATER COLLECTION RESERVOIR CAPACITY ASSESSMENT (Proposed Phase II)

In our project, the HIG towers are 48 storied (B+G+46).
Available roof area of 2 nos. of HIG towers for collection of rainwater is 1,500 sq.m.
Available roof area of MIG tower for collection of rainwater is 500 sq.m (B+G+28 storied).
Available roof area of LIG tower for collection of rainwater is 400 sq.m (B+G+33 storied).
Therefore, total available roof area for collection of rainwater is 2,400 sq.m.
Thus, total available rooftop rainwater for storage is (as 100% will be harvested)
2,400 X 3,00,000/1000 litres = 720 kL/annum.
Considering the duration of monsoon as 120 days, daily available rooftop rainwater for collection during
monsoon is 720/120 = 6 kLD.
The entire volume of 6 kLD of the collected rooftop rainwater will be used for car cleaning. Remaining 1
kLD of the car cleaning water requirement will be provided from the roof-top rainwater harvested in Phase
I.
However, in our design proposal, we are providing 1 collection reservoir having total 100 kL.
RAINWATER RECHARGE WELL CAPACITY ASSESSMENT (Phase II)

Volume of rainwater to be recharged through recharge wells is [(7,68,000 X 2,400/1000) X 60% ] =
1105920 litres/annum or 1105.92 kL/annum, say 1106 kL/annum.
Considering monsoon period as 120 days, the daily average rainfall available is 1106/120 = 9.22 kL say 9
kL which will get recharged into the ground water aquifer through a proposed recharge well having
capacity of 10 kL.
Section of the recharge structure is enclosed in Annexure 2.7.
2.8 What would be the impact of the landuse changes occurring due to the proposed project on the runoff
characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post construction phase on a long
term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?
Ans: STORM WATER DRAINAGE CALCULATION

Previously, the site was mostly vacant. No hard surface existed inside the project site. Therefore, the
runoff characteristic was assumed in the range of 0.2. At present, the site is mostly occupied by the
existing structures of Phase I. After the execution of Phase II, 26.54% of the plot area will be covered by
building blocks and around 30.1% of the open area will be hard surface. Almost 26.54% of the available
land will be green.
The quantified difference of runoff at the project site during the pre-construction and post-construction
stage is obtained from the following Runoff-Rainfall Intensity Relationship equation:
Q = 10 C i A; Where
3
Q = Runoff (discharge) in cubic meters per hour (m /hour)
C = Co-efficient / impermeability factor of the surface
I = Intensity of rainfall (considered as 40 mm/hr)
A = Total Drainage Area in Hectare
During the pre-construction stage, following considerations are taken:
C = 0.2
i = 40 mm/hr
A = 51,273.24 sq.m = 5.13 Ha
Therefore, during the preconstruction stage, runoff (Q) will be in the tune of:
3 3 3
Q = 10 [0.2X 40 X 5.13] m /d = 410.4 m /hr, say 410 m /hr
During the post-construction stage, following considerations are taken:

Therefore, it can be said that the runoff characteristic of the project site will increase substantially from
pre-construction stage to post-construction stage of Phase I, but marginally after execution of Phase II.
Considering co-efficient for Evaporation / Spillage and First Flush etc. as 0.80
3 3
Total Storm Water Flow after execution of Phase I = 1211 X 0.80 m /d = 969 m /d.
Volume of Storm Water
3
Total Storm Water Flow = 969 m /d or 969 kLD.
3 3
Thus, the surface run-off of the project site will increase by (969 410) m /d = 559 m /d during the peak
rainfall period. Moreover, this volume includes the rooftop runoff as well, which will be harvested. The
remaining volume will flow through the storm water drain.
3 3
Similarly, total Storm Water Flow after execution of Phase I + II = 1314 X 0.80 m /d = 1051 m /d.
3
Total Storm Water Flow = 1051 m /d or 1051 kLD.
3 3
Thus, the surface run-off of the project site will increase by (1051 410) m /d = 641 m /d from the pre-
3 3
construction stage to Phase I + II, and (1051 969) m /d = 82 m /d from Phase I to Phase I + II, during the
peak rainfall period.
To avoid water logging problem inside the project site, adequate measures will be adopted while designing
the stormwater drainage network and drain sections to accommodate the peak runoff. However, the
ground surface runoff will be discharged into the municipal storm water drain.
CALCULATION OF SURFACE RUNOFF

After execution of Phase I:
6
Total RWH potential = {(Tot. Avail. Roof Area x 768000)/10 } kL/annum
6
= {(8000 x 768000)/10 } = 6144 kL/annum
Considering the duration of monsoon as 120 days, daily available rooftop rainwater during monsoon, for
harvesting is 6144/120 = 51.2 kLD say 51kLD.
Therefore, total Ground Surface Runoff = Total daily Storm Water Flow daily Harvested Rooftop

Rainwater = 969 51 = 918 kLD.

After execution of Phase I + II:
6
Total RWH potential = {(Tot. Avail. Roof Area x 768000)/10 } kL/annum
6
= {(10400 x 768000)/10 } = 7987.2 kL/annum, say 7987 kL/annum
Considering the duration of monsoon as 120 days, daily available rooftop rainwater during monsoon, for
harvesting is 7987/120 = 66.56 kLD say 67kLD.
Therefore, total Ground Surface Runoff = Total daily Storm Water Flow daily Harvested Rooftop
Rainwater = 1051 67 = 984 kLD.
2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of ground water; give the
details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals obtained from competent authority, if
any)
Ans: Required freshwater during construction and operation phase of the project will be obtained from Kolkata
Municipal Corporations supply. However, in the event of inadequate water supply from municipal source,
groundwater will be abstracted from a bore-well for which prior permission is already obtained from the
concerned authority.
Geological formation of the study area controls the occurrence of groundwater. The area is occupied of
Alluvial sediments of Recent to Sub-Recent age. The sediments in the upper part have been deposited by
Adi-Ganga river system. The Alluvial sediments comprises sand, fine to coarse, gravel and clay beds. The
thickness of the aquifer at different vertical dispositions varies widely. By and large, the area is covered by
a 30 to 40 m thick clay blanket, beneath which occurs a 30m thick aquifer consisting of coarse sand and
gravel. However, there exists a thick impermeable clay layer between 70m and 235m depth. This clay bed
often contains sand lenses. The second aquifer system (235m-265m) and the third aquifer (323m-357m)
is separated by a thick clay layer (50m-60m). Below the depth of 357m, a very thick clay layer (357m-
612m) persists down to the explored depth of about 600m. The grain size of the aquifer becomes very fine
to fine at the deeper level, specially below 300m depth.
Although the upper first aquifer is quite fresh, recently high incidence of Arsenic has been reported in
ground water. Groundwater occurring in sand lenses within clay layer is brackish to saline. The second
and third aquifer occurring within the depth span of 235m to 323m contain fresh potable arsenic-free
groundwater, which is suitable for drinking water supply.
2.10 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting land &
aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts)
Ans: The precautions/measure to be taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities are mentioned in
the Environmental Management Plan, enclosed. However, broadly it can be mentioned that the no
construction wastewater will be discharged directly into the land, stormwater drain or into the river. A
couple of Sediment trap of sizes 2.5m(L) X 2.5m(W) X 0.75m (D) and retention period of two hours will be
constructed during the construction stage, where all construction wastewater will be discharged. After the
sedimentation of the construction wastewater, the comparatively cleaner water will be partially reused and
the rest part will be discharged into the roadside drain.
2.11 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid flooding of the
area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout indication contour levels)
Ans: During the post-construction stages, the storm water will be collected into the surface drainage network
inside the campus. The drain sizes and sections will be designed in such a way that they can take the load
of the peak rainfall period. All the surface drains will be covered by gratings to avoid the litter and other
inert waste. Proper land gradient will be provided so that water logging inside the campus does not occur.
The collected storm water from the building roofs during the rainfall period will be stored. To reduce the
surface runoff and subsequent increase in infiltration of rainwater, attempts will be made to maximize the
green surface inside the campus. Adequate number of trees will also be planted.
As the site is located in flat terrain, appreciable slope is not observed within the project site. Moreover,
proper land grading will be provided so that the slope of the modified ground level remains similar with the
natural slope of the region. The drainage & sewerage layout plan is enclosed in Annexure- 2.11.

2.12 Will there be deployment of construction labourers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary
conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation)
Ans: Proper on-site sanitation facilities will be provided for the construction labourers so as to avoid defecation
in and around project site. Few numbers of toilets comprising latrine, bath, hand-wash facilities will be
constructed inside the project site. Septic tank and soak pits will also be constructed for collection and
treatment of domestic wastewater generated from the construction labourers use. Moreover, adequate
water supply for drinking and other domestic uses will also be provided during the construction stage of
the project. Therefore, it can be presumed that there will not be any deployment of construction labourer
during the construction stage of the proposed project.
2.13 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage? (Give details of
the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and
disposal)
Ans: Two Sewage Treatment Plants will be provided inside the complex, one already exists for Phase I. The
existing sewage treatment plant is of Extended Aeration type with activated sludge process. The
proposed sewage treatment plant will be of Moving Bed Bio-Reactor (MBBR) type. Generated
wastewater will be reused for secondary purposes and remaining discharged into road side drain.
Water Consumption for Domestic Purposes : 1255 kLD

Generated wastewater : 1004 kLD (80% of water consumption)
Treated wastewater from S.T.P. : 903.6 kLD, say 904 kLD (90% of treated wastewater)
Treated wastewater to be reused : 278 kLD
Treated wastewater to be discharged to municipal sewer: (904 278) kLD = 626 kLD.
Phase I:
The existing sewage treatment plant is of Activated Sludge type with extended aeration. It envisages
collection of all the sewage water through a network of conduit with battery of inspection chambers and
manholes and taken into a raw sewage water collection sump / equalization tank through a bar screen
chamber. The equalization tank will have a retention capacity of approximately 4-6 hrs. Sewage from this
tank will be constantly pumped into Aeration tank using effluent transfer pumps to achieve continuous re-
circulation arrangement of the contents of the equalization tank. The aeration tank will have a detention
time varying from 16 to 36 hours for continuous aeration. Aerated waste will be allowed to settle in a
secondary settling tank and overflow will be let into semi treated effluent sump. The sludge will be partly
fed back to aeration tank by pumping and the remaining sludge pass through sludge handling system
consisting of automatic filter press, sludge thickener, dry cake handling equipment polyelectrolyte dosing
for disposal. Dried cake will be removed and used as manure for plants. From semi treated water
collection sump, water will be pumped through activated carbon filter, pressure sand filter and pumped
and stored in a treated water tank used for landscaping and flushing after disinfection. From this tank,
treated water will be used for landscaping and internal road cleaning purpose. The final quality of the
treated waste water will meet the norms stipulated by the West Bengal Pollution Control Board.

can be transferred to Sludge Drying Beds. For feed to Dewatering System (Filter press/ Centrifuge),
this pump type can be changed to Screw pump & used.
All electro-mechanical equipments are proposed with standby units. Pumps, blowers shall be
operational in auto mode through level controllers, timers etc. for easier operation.
Flow diagrams of S.T.P are enclosed in Annexure - 2.13
2.14 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste used for flushing of toilets or any other use.
Ans: No Dual Plumbing System is installed for Phase I, as treated wastewater is not reused for toilet flushing.
But, Dual Plumbing System will be installed for Phase II, as wastewater treatment facility has been
proposed. Treated waste water will be reused for toilet flushing and other secondary purposes.
3. VEGETATION
3.1 Is there any threat of the project to the bio-diversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem with its
unique features, if any)
Ans: No. The project will not pose any threat to the bio-diversity of the locality. All the existing trees inside the
project site of the proposed residential complex will be retained, as preliminarily assessed. Also, as the
project site does not contain any water body, therefore, no scope of disturbance to the aquatic flora is
involved. Moreover, quite a number of trees are also going to be planted during the later period of the
construction stage. The species will be predominantly native in nature so that they merge with the local
ecosystem. The description of the local ecosystem is enclosed in Annexure - 3.1.
3.2 Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed account
of the trees & vegetation affected by the project)
Ans: No. The construction activity will not involve any clearing or modification of existing vegetation. It is already
stated that all the existing trees inside the project site of the proposed residential complex will be retained.
Therefore, no tree or vegetation is expected to be affected by the proposed project.

3.3 What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important site features
(Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation or water bodies etc along with a layout
plan to an appropriate scale)
Ans: Adequate measures will be taken to minimize the likely impacts of the proposed project on the surrounding
as well as the project site itself and documented in the Environmental Management Plan. The landscaping
and plantation programme and species details are shown in the landscape plan which is enclosed in
Annexure - 3.3. In addition to the existing 40 trees, around 680 trees will be planted during the later part
of the construction period of the project. Thus, total nos. of trees within site will be (40 + 680) = 720. This
will include flowering and fruit bearing trees along the boundaries. Mostly native species will be planted.
Decorative trees and hedges will be provided along pedestrian pathways.
4. FAUNA
4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna-both terrestrial and aquatic or creation of barriers for their
movement? Prove the details.
Ans: It is already stated that all the existing trees inside the project site will be retained. Also, the project site
does not contain any water body. Therefore, no scope of displacement of terrestrial as well as aquatic
fauna is involved due to the proposed construction.
4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.
Ans: There lies no scope of displacement of avifauna from the project site. Moreover, adequate number of trees
will be planted as a part of the landscaping programme in this project. During the operational stages, the
planted trees will get matured and invite birds from the surrounding. Therefore, a positive impact is
expected.
4.3 Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse impacts on fauna.
Ans: There will not be any adverse impact on fauna due to proposed project.
5. AIR ENVIRONMENT
5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give details of
background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models taking into account the
increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed constructions)
Ans: During the operational stage, the proposed complex will not generate any emission of dust, fumes or gas
so that the atmospheric concentration of gases increase. However, as there will be a few numbers of
buildings, there might remain a possibility of slight increase in heat island effect, which can be mitigated in
following means:
i) Judicial layout of building blocks within the complex
The building blocks within the complex is laid in such a manner that there remains sufficient amount of
external as well as internal open space between the blocks so that the air movement does not get
interrupted.
ii) Reducing the footprint of building blocks
Only 26.54% of the land area will be occupied by building blocks. Thus, 73.46% of the land area will
remain as open space (mostly green). Therefore, much lesser heat gain will be over the green surface.
iii) Selection of Building Materials
The building materials will be selected in such a way that the solar heat gain over the vertical surface and
roof is minimized.
iv) Trees and Vegetation
Sufficient number of shading trees will be planted inside the project site to reduce the air temperature

within the project site and surroundings.

v) Reduction in Hard Surface
Hard surface in the form of metallic road will be kept minimum. The pavements will be of porous and light
coloured material and open joints.
The ambient air quality in and around the project site has been monitored during the month of March,
2010 and from the monitoring result, it is revealed that the SPM and RPM concentration ranges from
3 3 3 3
228.50 g/m to 248.73 g/m and 116.36 g/m to 120.65 g/m respectively. The concentration of SOx
3 3 3 3
and NOx ranges from 7.00 g/m to 8.55 g/m and 38.54 g/m to 42.44 g/m respectively. This reveals
that the concentration of particulate matter is close to the respective standards. The concentration of
gaseous emission is much less than the respective standard. Ambient Air Quality monitoring report at
project site is enclosed in Annexure 5.1.
As there will not be any emission generating activity during the operational phase of the complex, there
will not be any continuous source of emission and thus the ambient air quality will not be affected. The
traffic volume and movement also will be controlled within the complex.
5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gases? Give
details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.
Ans: During the operational stage of the project, there will not be any such activity which can generate dust,
smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous gas. The proposed project is residential complex. Only (4 X
250 kVA + 2 X 320 kVA + 1 X 30 kVA + 3 X 1010 kVA + 2 X 160 kVA + 2 X 62.5 kVA) DG sets might
generate little smoke which will be controlled at source.
5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the present level of
transport infrastructure & measures proposed for improvement including traffic management at the entry &
exit to the project site.
Ans: Our plot measures to about 51,273.24 sq.m and total built up area is 2,20,922.737 sq.m (Phase I -
1,25,695.837 sq.m, Phase II - 95,226.90 sq.m). As per Kolkata Municipal Corporation Building Rules,

The project site is well connected to network of roads leading from various parts of the city. The increase
in traffic due to the project is marginal and therefore the impact will be marginal. Internal roads will be
provided within the complex.
5.4 Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycles tracks, pedestrian pathways,
footpaths etc., with areas under each category.
Ans: Around 16.51% of the land area (8464.92 sq.m) will be under road and 10.47% of land area (5367.00
sq.m) will be semi paved. Moreover, 14.16% of land area (7262.50 sq.m) will be under open car parking.
There will not be any separate bicycle tracks within the complex. A vehicular movement plan inside the
premises is enclosed in Annexure 5.4.
5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources and the
measures proposed for mitigation of the above
Ans: There will be marginal increase in traffic on the adjacent road that will have marginal increase in noise and
vibrations, because as the site abuts E.M. Bypass and Mukundapur Road, considerable volume of traffic is
already plying. Noise monitoring has been conducted in and around the project site to assess the existing
situation. Around project site, day and night time equivalent noise level has been observed as 60.10 dB(A)
to 72.89(A) and 53.28 dB(A) to 67.10 dB(A) respectively, which exceeds slightly the permissible limit.
However, vegetation will be provided along the periphery of the project site to control the outside traffic
noise. Internal road surface will be maintained to smooth the traffic flow. Speed limit of internal traffic will
be controlled. Noise Monitoring report in and around the project site is enclosed in Annexure 5.5.
5.6 What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment noise levels & vibrations in & ambient air quality
around the project site? Provide details.
Ans: Impacts on Air Quality due to DG Sets:

Impacts:
Impacts on ambient air during operation phase would be due to emissions from the stacks attached to
standby DG set only during grid power failure.
Mitigation Measures
Back up DG sets will comply the applicable emission norms.

D.G. Sets will be silent type and proper acoustic enclosure will be provided.
Adequate stack height for DG sets will be provided as per norms.
Back up DG sets will be used only during power failure.
Periodic monitoring of emissions from DG sets will be carried out as per norms.
6. AESTHETICS
6.1 Will the proposed constructions in any way result in the obstruction of a view, scenic amenity or
landscapes? Are these considerations taken into account by the proponents?
Ans: The maximum height of the building blocks of the proposed project will be 154.05 m. Adequate open
spaces according to the municipal building rules will be provided. Sufficient inter building open spaces will
also be kept so that the natural daylight, air movement as well as scenic view do not get disturbed.
6.2 Will there be any adverse impacts from new constructions on the existing structures? What are the
considerations taken into account by the proponents?
Ans: No. The new construction will be confined within the project site only. Sufficient external open spaces will
be provided on all sides of the project site. Moreover, precautionary measures will be adopted while
excavating foundation or erecting superstructures by erecting vertical shoring to avoid landslide or soil
erosion. It will also help to protect the structural stability of the surrounding existing structures. All the
construction materials will be stored within the project site itself. Around 2000 sq.m area will be provided
for stacking of construction materials. The stacking area will be fully covered to prevent spreading of dust.
No construction materials or waste will be dumped outside the project boundary or along the abutting
roads. Thus, there remains no chance of traffic closure or diversion, due to the proposed construction.
Construction activities will be carried on during the day time only. Construction Wastes will be disposed
properly by covering with polythene sheets.
6.3 Whether there are any local considerations or urban form & urban design influencing the design criteria?
They may be explicitly spelt out.

these, a large number of Doctors clinic, Diagnostic Centre and Medicine shops are located in the study
area having a very easy accessibility from the project site.
Regarding educational facilities, Calcutta International School and Heritage Institute of Technology are
located at a distance of around 1.5 to 2 km from project site
Regarding market facilities, presently the most prominent community facility exists in the immediate
surroundings of the project site is Metro Cash & Carry Outlet. However, that outlet is mostly concerned
with wholesale trading of household items. Apart from that few organized market centres and shopping
malls are also located abutting E.M. Bypass in the close vicinity of the project site. Moreover, few roadside
shops are located along the Mukundapur Road.
7.3 Will the project cause adverse effects on local communities, disturbance to sacred sites or other cultural
values? What are the safeguards proposed?
Ans: The project will not cause any adverse effects on local community during the construction or operational
stage. No sacred site is located surrounding the project site. Construction activities will not cause any
harm to the local habitants in terms of emission, waste generation, effluent generation, noise etc.
During the operational phase also, the generated wastewater and solid waste from the complex will be
properly managed so that the local community as well as the existing physical infrastructure doesnt feel
the stress. The safeguards are mentioned in the Environmental Management Plan.
8. BUILDING MATERIALS
8.1 May involve the use of building materials with high-embodied energy. Are the construction materials
produced with energy efficient processes? (Give details of energy conservation measures in the selection
of building materials and their energy efficiency)
Ans: Construction of the project will be done with conventional building material only. Energy conservation
measures of different building materials and structural components are described below:
The external wall of the building blocks will be constructed with 250mm thick double brick layer, both
2
side plastered (expected U-value = 0.44 W/m -C)
The roofs of the building blocks will be constructed with typical 100-150mm thick R.C.C. slab with
2
cement screed and clay tiles (expected U-value = 0.797 W/m -C)
Glass panes will be 4mm to 6mm thick depending upon the exposure of the surface to the sun. In
some of the areas of building faade, double glazing with reflective coating might also be used.
Expected U-values of single glazing clear glass and double glazing reflective coated glass are 1.25
2 s
W/m -C and 0.54W/m -C respectively.
Paving materials will be light coloured and porous. The pavement might be of open jointed paver
blocks partially depending upon the landscaping scheme.
8.2 Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in pollution, noise & public nuisance.
What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?
Ans: All building materials carrying vehicles will be covered with tarpaulin or polythene sheets to avoid
spreading of dust and dirt. Separate raw material handling yard will be made. Cement will be separately
stored under cover in bales. Sand will be stacked neatly under tarpaulin cover. Bricks and steel will be laid
in open. All material transportation will be done during the daytime only. The raw material handling yard
will be located within the project site and separated by enclosures.
8.3 Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of savings achieved?
Ans: Yes. Recycled materials may be used in roads and land development activities. Depending upon the
situation and 10 to 15% savings may be achieved by using recycled materials.

8.4 Give details of the methods of collection, segregation & disposal of the garbage generated during the
operation phases of the project.
Ans: Volume of solid waste is 4732 kg/day or 4.73 tonne/day. The breakup of daily generated solid waste
during the operational phase of the entire project is given below:
Solid Waste Generation Calculation for Phase I (Existing)

Total 1716.5 say 1717 kg/day or
1.72 tonne/day
The collection and disposal method of generated solid waste is given below:
No indiscriminate disposal of garbage should be allowed within the complex. A proper waste collection
system is to be implemented.
Waste will be segregated at source. To facilitate this, a multi-bin system will be provided for storing
bio-degradable waste as food leftovers, vegetable and fruit peels, non-biodegradable waste such as
metal scrap, rubber and recyclable wastes such as papers and plastics. These bins will be in different
colours to facilitate the disposal.
For community block, garbage from individual units will be collected to a common waste bin, located
at the ground floor. From the common bin, the garbage will be handed over to the municipal authority.
For residential apartments, House to House garbage collection system will be adopted.
Waste from yard and garden should be collected into the small handcarts by the sweeper and
transported to the common waste bin.
Garbage collection procedure is to be conducted during the early morning hours in a day.
Accumulation of garbage in the storage bin will be avoided for more than 24 hours.
The size of the waste storage bin should be adequate to accommodate at least two days solid waste.
To avoid the dumping of garbage along the roads, parks, common areas, few number of solid waste
storage bins have to be placed in strategic location.
9. ENERGY CONSERVATION
9.1 Give details of the power requirements, source of supply, backup source etc. What is the energy
consumption assumed per square foot of built-up area? How have you tried to minimize energy
consumption?
Ans: During the operational phase of the project, power requirement for both the existing as well as expansion
phases will be around 8100 kW. The source of power supply will be CESC. Energy consumption has been
2 2 2
preliminarily assumed as 10W/m for residential apartments, 5W/m for Community area and 2W/m for
service area.
Following measures will be adopted to minimize the energy consumption:

Energy Efficient Features:

LED lighting fixtures in the common areas
Truelite fluorescent lamps/CFL in apartments
Roof-top thermal insulation
Appropriate design to shut out excess heat and gain loss
Use of solar energy in external lighting
Maximum utilization of natural light for residential apartments
9.2 What type of, and capacity of, power back-up to you plan to provide?
Ans: (4 X 250 kVA + 2 X 320 kVA + 1 X 30 kVA + 3 X 1010 kVA + 2 X 160 kVA + 2 X 62.5 kVA) DG sets will be
installed to provide the back-up, in case of power failure.
9.3 What are the characteristics of the glass you plan to use? Provide specifications of its characteristics
related to both short wave and long wave radiation?
Ans: Tinted or clear glass has been preliminarily planned to be used in window panes of the apartments.
Thickness will vary from 4mm to 6mm depending upon the situation. Main objective of the glass will be to
cut the glare, to ensure clear visibility and allowance of maximum natural light.
9.4 What passive solar architectural features are being used in the building? Illustrate the applications made in
the proposed project.
Ans: The building blocks will have vertical and horizontal sun shading protection in the form of fins and chajjas.
The design, vertical or horizontal projection of those sun shading devices will be dependent upon the
exposure of a particular surface to the sun.
9.5 Does the layout of streets & buildings maximize the potential for solar energy devices? Have you
considered the use of street lighting, emergency lighting and solar hot water systems for use in the
building complex? Substantiate with details.
Ans: This is a residential complex and there will be sufficient organized as well as incidental open spaces in
and around the building blocks. The said open spaces will be developed as organized park, garden, lawn,
play area etc.; which will be illuminated by solar illumination.
9.6 Is shading effectively used to reduce cooling/heating loads? What principles have been used to maximize
the shading of Walls on the East and West and the Roof? How much energy saving has been effected?
Ans: Yes. The shading devices of individual building block will be designed in such a way that it cuts the glare
but allow maximum amount of diffused sunlight. Also, the roofs of the building blocks will have adequate
thermal insulation. However, no special care about the east and west walls of any building have been
thought because the orientation and layout of the building blocks will differ from place to place within the
site.
9.7 Do the structures use energy-efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems? Provide
technical details. Provide details of the transformers and motor efficiencies, lighting intensity and air-
conditioning load assumption? Are you using CFC and HCFC free chillers? Provide specifications.
Ans: For residential apartments of Phase I, prime importance is given on natural wind circulation and
illumination. Keeping that in mind, most of the exterior glazing of the building blocks will be openable type.
Thus, operable window area within the building will be maximum. Thus, scope of air infiltration through the
glazed windows is also maximum. It is expected that air leakage through entrance doors and operable
2
windows (in closed condition) will not exceed 5.0 l/s-m . However, in residential apartments of Phase I
also, provision of unit airconditioners will be provided which will be CFC and HCFC free. In residential
apartments of Phase II, centralized air conditioning system, using air-cooled or Variable Refrigerant
Volume System (VRV) system will be provided.

Variable Refrigerant Volume System

It is intended & proposed to go with VRV Air conditioners for the Phase II apartments. The Indoor units
are Concealed type Ceiling suspended units which will be housed inside the false ceiling in the passage
/corridor area & the air through would be once side (Vertical side of the false ceiling) & the return air will be
taken back to the false ceiling void through the continuous grille provided.
All drain line will be run through the false ceiling void & the header will be terminated in inside the toilet
area & the vertical drop will be taken through the 50 mm grove in the wall & terminated at the floor level.
The outdoor unit will be provided in the ledge given for VRV type outdoor next to the bed room toilet & the
space is created for accessing & maintenance.
The fresh air will be drawn inside the apartment through the TFA unit provided in the balcony & the
outdoor unit of the same is provided in the same balcony on the opposite side.
The VRV equipment can be switched ON/OFF by end users themselves from their respective locations
using simple controllers. There is therefore no need to have a specially trained team of technicians as in
the case of a chilled water system to operate and control the system. The VRV system also has the
optional facility to provide a centralized control in addition to operation and control by individual controllers.
Such centralized control system can be operated from a convenient location in the building. The system
provides for monitoring the performance of units in individual rooms. It can also be used to switch ON/OFF
the units at any desired locations at any given time without entering the particular room. The system has
facility to indicate nature of fault when any unit develops a fault and a prompt action can be taken to rectify
the fault. The indoor unit's cooling operation can be controlled to maintain desired temperature in any
location in the premises according to end user's needs and preferences.
9.8 What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the micro-climate? Provide a self assessment
on the likely impacts of the proposed construction on creation of heat island & inversion effects?
Ans: The proposed construction will not alter the micro-climate of the project site and surroundings significantly.
Also, it will not have appreciable impact on creation of heat island and inversion effect due to the following
reasons:
i) Judicial layout of building blocks within the complex
The building blocks within the complex is laid in such a manner that there remains sufficient amount of
external as well as internal open space between the blocks so that the air movement does not get
interrupted.
ii) Reducing the footprint of building blocks
Only 26.54% of the land area will be occupied by building blocks. Thus, 73.46% of the land area will
remain as open space (mostly green). Therefore, much lesser heat gain will be over the green surface.
iii) Selection of Building Materials
The building materials will be selected in such a way that the solar heat gain over the vertical surface and
roof is minimized.
iv) Trees and Vegetation
Sufficient number of shading trees will be planted inside the project site to reduce the air temperature
within the project site and surroundings.
v) Reduction in Hard Surface
Hard surface in the form of metallic road will be kept minimum. The colour of external surfaces of the
building blocks will be of lighter shade. The pavements will be of porous and light coloured material and
open joints.
9.9 What are the thermal characteristics of the building envelope? (a) roof, (b) external walls; and(c)
fenestration? Give details of the material used and the U-values or the R values of the individual
components.
Ans: The U and R values of different components to be used in the project, i.e., glass, wall and roof, are as
given in the table below:
S.No. Component U-Value R-Value
s
1 Glass Faade 3.3 W/m -C --
2
2 External Wall 0.44 W/m -C --
2
3 Roof 0.797 W/m -C --

9.10 What precautions & safety measures are proposed against fire hazards? Furnish details of emergency
plans.
Ans: Existing phase has already obtained the statutory fire approval from the concerned regulatory authority.
Recommended measures by the said authority are being followed in its operational phase. However,
following basic precautions & safety measures have been proposed;
The staircases of the building will be enclosed types.
The staircases will be extended upto the terrace level of the buildings.
Walls of the lift enclosures will be at least two hours fire resisting types.
Adequate refuge area will be provided at the external walls of the buildings
Underground water reservoirs with adequate storage capacities, as recommended by the statutory
authority, will be constructed.
Public address systems will be linked between all the floors of the building and the control room
First aid fire fighting arrangement in the style of placing suitable types of portable fire extinguishers,
fire-buckets etc. in all floors of the buildings will be provided.
Floor numbers and directional sign of escape route shall be displayed prominently in all floors of the
respective building.
Internal road will be sufficiently strong to withstand the load of fire tender.
A copy of the Fire NOC for Phase - I is enclosed in Annexure 9.10. On the other hand, the proposed
expansion has already applied for the statutory fire approval. Recommended measures by the said
authority will be followed during its operational phase. A copy of the Emergency Preparedness & Disaster
Management Plan is enclosed in Annexure 9.10.
9.11 If you are using glass as wall material provides details and specifications including emissivity and thermal
characteristics.
Ans: Glass will not be used as wall material, as preliminarily assessed.
9.12 What is the rate of air infiltration into the building? Provide details of how you are mitigating the effects of
infiltration
Ans: The proposed complex is residential in nature, where prime importance is given on natural wind circulation
and illumination aspect. Moreover, as the complex has around 73.46% open space, incoming breezes is
considered as a treasure to the residents of the complex. Keeping that in mind, most of the exterior
glazing of the proposed building blocks will be openable type. Thus, operable window area within the
building will be maximum. Thus, scope of air infiltration through the glazed windows is also maximum. It is
expected that air leakage through entrance doors and operable windows (in closed condition) will not
2
exceed 5.0 l/s-m .
9.13 To what extent the non-conventional energy technologies are utilized in the overall energy consumption?
Provide details of the renewable energy technologies used.
Ans: Following the SEAC recommendation, 1% total connected electricity load will be catered by solar power.
Solar energy will be used for internal road area, semi paved area and open parking area illumination as
well as for partial common area illumination.
Solar lighting calculation is given below:
Proposed Internal Road, Semi Paved & Open Parking area is 21,094.42 sq.m, which will be partially
illuminated by solar power. Thus, available area for partial solar illumination is 21,094.42 sq.m i.e.
2,26,975.96 sq.ft.
Considering external area illumination load as 2.5Watt/sq.m or 0.23 Watt/sq.ft (as per Indian Green
Building Council Manual),
External area power requirement = 2,26,975.96 X 0.23 = 52,204.47 Watt say 52,205 Watt
Considering diversity factor = 0.80, required lighting load is
52,205 X 0.8 = 41,764 watt i.e. 41.764 kW
Considering power requirement of each street light as 0.15 kW, number of street light fixture required
41.764 / 0.15 = 278.43, say 278 nos.
50% of Total Street light fixture to be catered with LED lamps to be catered by solar power.

Thus, total number of solar street lighting fixture to be provided is 278 X 50% = 139 nos.
Solar Power to be used for partial common area illumination is given below;
In our project, total connected load as preliminarily assessed is 8100 kW.
Total solar energy to be harvested as per SEAC recommendation is 1% of total connected load i.e. 8100
kW X 1% = 81 kW.
Out of 81 kW, (52.205/2) = 26.103 kW is being used as outdoor solar illumination. Thus, rest (81 26.103)
kW i.e 54.897 kW of Solar Energy will be used for partial common area illumination.

EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS & DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Foreword
In the society, be it industrial or commercial or residential complex, emergency situations may arise generally due to
malfunction or incorrect operation of systems. When such situation assumes large proportions it needs immediate
intervention for minimising its effect if not totally nipped. Such phenomenon is called emergency. Emergency may lead
to disaster if the mitigation of the emergency is inadequate or fails. Magnitude and extent of the emergency may
cause disaster.
A disaster can be termed as an occurrence of such magnitude so as to create a situation in which normal pattern of
life within a facility is suddenly disrupted, adversely affecting not only the personnel and property within the facility but
also in its vicinity.
This occurrence may result in on-site implications like:
Fire and / or explosion

Leakage of flammable material
Incidents having off-site implications can be :
o Fire and / or explosion

o Leakage of flammable material / explosive or toxic gas
- Natural calamities like earthquake, cyclone, storm etc.
- Air raids
- Crashing of aircraft or flying objects
Natural calamities like earthquake or cyclones may cause disaster apart from imposed man-made activities or
externally induced activities like sabotage, failure at other areas like crashing of aircraft etc.
Effect of disaster may be minimised through proper technology and engineering and operating practices. Emergency
planning is an integral part of the overall loss control program and is essential for any well-run establishment. This is
important for effective management of an accident / incident to minimise losses to people and property, both in and
around the facility.
An Emergency Response Plan (ERP) can work smoothly and effectively only if the instructions are correctly and
promptly followed and action taken at various levels is well co-ordinated.
Emergency Scenario in Residential & Commercial Establishments
Fire
The prime emergency scenario faced in residential and / or commercial complexes is Fire. It is imperative that such
complex must have properly designed and adequate fire fighting system installed and always active to combat
emergencies. The fire fighting system shall be as per recommendations of NBC and conform to the TAC or NFPA.
Fire fighting system ensures identification of the location of fire incidence, assist in confining the fire and totally
extinguish it. This in turn aims at minimising effect of fire on property and human being. A fire-fighter suppresses and
extinguishes fires to thrives to protect lives and prevent the destruction of property and the environment. Fire-fighters
may provide many other valuable services to their communities including emergency medical services. Fire-fighters
are generally trained for rescue operations and initial medical aids for casualties.
Fires can be extinguished by water, fuel removal, or chemical flame inhibition.
Toxic and explosive atmosphere

One of the major hazards associated with firefighting operations is the toxic environment created by combustible
materials, the four major hazards being smoke, the oxygen deficient atmosphere, elevated temperatures, and toxic
atmospheres. Normally toxic environment is created during incidence of fire. Black smoke coming out during fire
generally contains carbon monoxide and other toxic gases due to incomplete combustion. This causes asphyxiation
on human and animals respiratory system. Apart from this inherent danger other hazardous scenario may arise if the
complex has storage of toxic gases like chlorine, ammonia etc. To combat such emergencies trained people are
necessary.
Now-a-days LPG gas bank in large residential complexes is becoming popular gradually. In the event of leakage of
LPG from the bank of cylinders a very dangerous scenario may arise. Local fires in LPG cylinder is generally tackled
with the guidelines provided by the gas cylinder provider. With leakage of explosive gas like LPG, a cloud of explosive
gas mixture may not only endanger the complex but the same may reach beyond the complex boundary thereby
rendering the emergency scenario reaching outside the premises. If the combustible gas and air mixture remains
between the lower explosive level (LEL) and upper or higher explosive limit (HEL) it is a real stage of concern. Any
spark or naked fire will cause explosion of the gas mixture termed as Vapour Cloud Explosion (VCE). Such incidence
will trigger emergency when on post accident relief and rescue operations are organized as per recommendations of
the concerned authorities.
Emergency Response System

The Emergency Response System for such establishments is a statutory requirement. Generally a Fire officer or in
the event of other associated hazard potential a Site Main Controller needs to be entrusted with the responsibility. To
ensure efficacy of the system proper training to key personnel is essential. Along with this some selected individuals of
the complex needs to be also trained for whom responsibilities are also to be assigned. To ensure proper functioning
of the system periodic mock drills are also essential.
Statutory Requirement and Genesis
The requirement of an ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN popularly termed as Disaster Management Plan (DMP) with
detailed disaster control measures was embodied for the first time in Section 41B (4) of The Factories Act, 1948 (Act
No. 63 of 1948), as amended by the Factories (Amendment) Act, 1987 (Act 20 of 1987):
Though the project is not a factory the project proponent has decided to put in the basic facilities and infrastructure to
combat emery arising out of accidental fire or hazardous gas leakage etc. The requirement that may be applicable to
the proposed project as per The First Schedule of the said Act, as the plant falls under the list of industries involving
hazardous processes.
Manufacture, Storage and Import of Hazardous Chemicals (MS & IHC) Rules 1989 and its amendment thereof,
notified and enforced by Union Ministry of Environment and Forests and subsequently amended under Sections 6, 8
and 25 of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986 provide the requirement by the occupier of a major accident hazard
site, of an ON-SITE EMERGENCY PLAN.
There are certain intrinsic advantages derived from the genesis of an emergency plan regulation which can be
constructively used by occupiers as well as inspectorates. This would avoid recourse to personalized interpretation.
Compliance with various provisions can be engineered with UNDERSTANDING AND LOGIC rather than following a
mechanical or "black box approach as is often practiced in this country.

- Identify the source of leak/ignition/fire
- Send the trained personnel of fire crew with B.A sets, Hydrocarbon escape masks and leak arresting
gear (when LPG leakage occurs) to the identified source. The interaction of this group with others is
already laid down the manual of Emergency Preparedness published by MOEF.
- Alert first aid center and nearby hospitals and ambulance service to be on standby to pick up and
treat persons who are affected.
- Post the Emergency Security Controller at the main gate with suitable briefing to liaise with external
agencies as per policy framed by the domestic and commercial occupiers of the complex.
After the leak has been arrested or source exhausted and the explosive vapor cloud has dispersed to
harmless concentration throughout the affected zone, SMC terminates the emergency and informs all control
rooms and all other concerned to restore things to normal.
Other Emergency Response Facilities
(a) Assembly Points
In an On-site emergency plan, the ASSEMBLY POINTS are those numbered, pre-designated and
prominently displayed locations where occupiers, contractors, casuals will assemble after an
evacuation order is conveyed. Several outdoor or indoor locations will be earmarked by the
management where persons under instruction will gather to be roll-called. Several alternative
locations will have to be fixed so that if one location is inaccessible due to spread of the impact area,
another location can be used to ensure safe assembly of evacuated personnel. These assembly
points are marked properly with a conspicuous notice and an identification number or letter and all
persons concerned are informed. The assembly points are sometimes equipped with telephones to
communicate with the Emergency Control Center
(b) Hydrocarbon Escape Masks & BA Sets

FIRE FIGHTING :
The following areas require particular attention for exposure protection :
Kitchen
Transformer Room / Yard
Engineering Section
a) Principles of Fire-Fighting
Fire requires a combination of fuel, oxygen and a source of ignition. The main aim when fire fighting to reduce
the temperature or to remove the fuel or to exclude the supply of air with the greatest possible speed. The
most effective action to control fire is to isolate immediately, where possible, the supply of fuel to the fire by
closing valves upstream of the point of escape e.g. in cases of product (LPG or HSD) escaping during
transfer.
After ensuring that the source of fuel has been cut off, due attention should be given to containment of the fire
by influencing the direction in which a spilled liquid fire might run and by cooling adjacent installations.
For burning liquids on the water surface directional control is best achieved by water spray. Although the flow
of burning liquid can also be directed to some extent using water control can best be achieved if proper
provisions for containment have been included.
Water is the most common cooling agent to cool burning liquids to temperatures at which they cease to give
off flammable gas. Products with low flash points cannot be cooled sufficiently with water. In these
circumstances dry chemical powder or foam is used. Water sprays should be applied as soon as possible
after extinguishment to cool the area and hence minimize the danger of re-ignition.
Before attempting to extinguish a large fire, thought should be given to the desirability of letting it burn itself
out provided the fuel source has been isolated and adjacent equipment is protected.
For fires involving electrical equipment a non-conductive extinguishing agent should be used e.g. dry chemical
powder. Water and foam should not be used in electrical equipment fires.
b) Types of Fire
This section deals with fire involving petroleum products which are typically used at the City Centre. The
choice of extinguishing agent will depend upon the quantity and flammability of the burning liquid.
Fluoroprotein foam, dry chemical powder and water fog / spray are recommended. Foam is an efficient agent
for extinguishing most liquid petroleum fires because of its blanketing effect. Dry chemical powder has been
proved to be the most rapid extinguishing agent for small petroleum fires. Water as fog or spray can be used
to extinguish fires involving products with high flash points, provided the fire has not been burning too long, or
fires of limited size, involving low flash point products.
Any oil fire which has been burning for some time is more difficult to extinguish with water, since the oil will
have been heated to a progressively greater depth and cannot readily be cooled to a point where it ceases to
give off gas. Furthermore, the use of water jet may spread the burning oil by splashing or overflow. This effect
can also arise through agitation of the oil caused by violent boiling of the water. Water should only be applied
to oil fires as a spray or fog, although jets of water can play a valuable role in cooling hot bulkheads and tank
walls.
Details about different types of fires likely in a Project should be provided in the plan. Depending on the
severity and extent of fire, various stages of fires can be classified as :
- Stage I Burning smell only. No smoke or flames visible

- Stage II Smoke and/or flames visible but extent limited and
containable. No need to call fire brigade.
- Stage III Widespread fire or fire in dangerous areas. Smoke and
Flames visible. Fire brigade required
The FEMP should be in the form of an action plan where specific responsibilities are assigned to the person
who first notices a fire or some unusual occurrence in the Project. Such information should be provided in the
main body of the plan and should comprise :
Do not panic
Identify the stage of fire
In case of Stage I fire, trace the equipment giving the burning smell, switch it off and inform the
Maintenance department.
In case of Stage II and Stage III fires, inform the reception and / or the Security Manager or the
Manager on duty by paging or by calling up the operator. Raise the alarm by breaking the manual fire
alarm glass.
Summon few colleagues working in the vicinity and attempt fire fighting with the aid of extinguishers, if
and only if you are trained in fire fighting. If electrical installations are involved, attempt to switch off
power supply and if running machines are involved try to stop the affected machine.
Select the fire extinguisher that is compatible to the fire.
In case you are not trained in fire fighting, do not attempt fire fighting yourself. Instead, let the first
available trained person at site fight the fire.
Standby for further instructions.
If evacuation call is given then rush through the fire exit stairs to the open space.
The main components of the Emergency squad comprising personnel from various departments would be
provided in the FEMP. The action plan and duties of these personnel for handling different stages of fire
should be clearly identified in the plan. Moreover, a second line of personnel for each component of the
Emergency squad should be identified in order to take care of emergencies in the absence of the senior most
personnel. The components of the emergency squad would include the Emergency Chief, personnel from the
Control Desk, Telephone department, Restaurants, Maintenance & Engineering department, Kitchen, Time
Office etc. In addition members should be drawn from various departments for fire fighting teams and
evacuation teams.
It is suggested that members of all such teams may be identified keeping in mind the shift schedule. It may be
ensured that at least one or two employees like bell boys, housekeepers etc. may be instructed to stay on
each unaffected floors to prevent panic and confusion among guests.
In essence, employees of each department should be appraised of their duties and the reporting officer in the
event of an emergency.
Control desk for manning the emergency situations should be identified in the Project. For example the
Reception desk or the Security Managers office can be identified as the Control desk. The control desk
should be provided with the following facilities in view of effective management of emergencies ;
o Two Self Controlled Breathing Apparatus (SCBA) sets

o Floor plans
o Layout of fire hydrant and sprinkler systems
o External and Internal telephone facilities
o A copy of Fire Emergency Management Plan
o Two Fire-fighting suits

o Telephone directory
o Details of all contractors and their employees
o List of first-aiders and members of evacuation team and fire fighting team.
o Shift schedule
c) Fire Fighting Facilities

The Project is protected by fire extinguishers, sprinklers, fire hydrant system and small bore hose reels. CO2,
DCP, Pressurised water type and foam type fire extinguishers are provided at various locations in the Project
complex. Smoke detectors, sprinklers and break glass fire alarms are provided in the Project.
The security department is headed by a Security Manager. The Security Manager with the assistance of his
guards and personnel from Maintenance and Engineering and service department are responsible for fire
fighting operations. Training is provided to the fire fighting personnel in the Project. Every employee will be
trained on how to use a fire extinguisher including limitations of using them.
FIGHTING LPG FIRES
A small fire at the point of leakage should be extinguished by enveloping with a smothering agent such as dry
chemical powder. However, it may be stressed that as far as possible LPG fire should not be extinguished
until the escape of the product has been stopped.
Fire fighting procedures would vary depending upon various factors such as nature, source, size, location etc.
of the fire.
In case of leakage in cylinder storage area:

o Caution all to clear the area where LPG has leaked.
o Ensure that no naked flame is brought in the vicinity around the storage area and shut off LPG stoves
in the kitchen.
o Do not operate any electrical switches.
o Open doors to allow air draft.
o Detect the source of leakage by using soap solution.
In case of leakage from the manifold header:

o Caution persons not required in the area to clear off from where LPG has leaked.
o Disconnect all cylinders and fix safety caps
o Do not use LPG manifold till the leak is rectified.
For the purpose of guidelines, some of the fire-fighting techniques for few common cases that may be
encountered are given below :
Case 1:Cylinder Fire

2
If a filled LPG cylinder is involved in a fire, internal pressure may begin to rise and go beyond 70 kg/cm which
could ultimately rupture the cylinder. Ignition of the escaping gas would aggravate the fire. No attempt should
be made to extinguish the burning LPG gas fire until the escape of LPG has been stopped. If this is not
possible, the cylinder and other cylinders in the vicinity should be kept cool by water spray until the contents of
the cylinder have burnt out. If the gas leakage does not ignite, the cylinder should be approached from upwind
(if in an open area) and be removed to a safe place away from sources of ignition. Cylinders not directly
involved in the fire should be moved away from heat exposure while applying cool water sprays on cylinders
directly involved.
Case 2:Leakage of LPG burning at the outlet of a cylinder valve
Extinguish the fire by means of a portable fire extinguisher or smothering with a thick wet non-synthetic cloth
or sand / earth or water gel blanket.
Fix the safety cap on the valve to prevent further leakage. After the fire is extinguished and if the leakage
cannot be stopped, the cylinder should be moved carefully to a safe location to vent out the contents under
controlled conditions.
10.0 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The Environmental Management Plan can be divided in two stages-

During Construction Stages
During Operation Stages
Therefore, a comprehensive Environmental Management Plan (EMP) consisting of
necessary mitigative measures for protection and improvement of environmental status of
proposed residential complex has been prepared for both construction and operation
stages of the project.
10.1 MITIGATION AT CONSTRUCTION STAGE

Construction work gives rise to a number of environmental problems, which need timely
mitigation to maintain environmental quality. These impacts can be mitigated, neutralized
and in some cases beneficial impacts can be affected if proper control measures are
taken in time. As construction stage continues for relatively shorter period and different
group of workers involved in different construction activities leave the place after a
specific time span, environmental consequences of these activities are not significant.
10.2 MITIGATION AT OPERATIONAL STAGE

During the operational stage, environmental pollution might occur due to the domestic as
well as multipurpose activities in and around the project site. Due to those activities, the
biotic and aboitc components of the surrounding environment might be affected.
Therefore, proper mitigative measures and management techniques will be adopted as
well as conservation procedures of natural resources and energy will be adopted. For
examples, solar lighting will be used partially for campus illumination; large window
openings will be provided in the apartments for maximum utilization of natural lightings.
10.3 AIR QUALITY MANAGEMENT

Regarding the management of air quality, it is seen that dust is the major pollutant due to
the construction activities as well as due to site maintenance and vehicular movement in
and around the project site. Apart from the dust, a very small portion of CO and HC might
be generated due to the vehicular movement and DG sets during the construction as well
as the operation stage of the proposed residential complex.
10.3.1 Air Quality Management during Construction Phase
Stockpiles & haulage roads will be regularly sprayed with water to avoid dust.
Regular sweeping of access roads is required.
Wet Supressing Techniques (Watering) will be adopted during the construction
activities.
All vehicles & construction equipments will be maintained to reduce emission.
All vehicles carrying building materials to the site will be covered to avoid spreading
of dust.
Building materials like cement, sand, bricks etc. are to be unloaded within a covered
storage space to avoid spreading of dust.
10.3.2 Air Quality Management during Operational Phase

Vehicular Movement inside the campus will be restricted.
Vehicles not having PUC certificates will be discouraged to enter the site.
Water will be sprinkled to suppress dust, while cleaning and sweeping the streets and
pavements. Roads and pavement will be metallic or paved.
Open burning of litter and garbage will not be allowed.
DG sets will be have adequate stack height
Sufficient tree plantation will be done along the peripheries of the project site as well as
inside the campus. Trees will act as an absorber of dust and CO generated inside as well
CONSULTANT CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT

as outside the campus. As an integral part of the landscape design, plantation of trees
will enhance the aesthetic quality of the campus. Selection of plant species should be
done on the basis of air pollution index of tree species along with the micrometeorological
condition of the area.
10.4 WATER RESOURCE MANAGEMENT

Regarding the management of water resources, it is seen that during the construction
period, required water will be catered by supply water from K.M.C. During the operational
period also, major part of the required water is expected to be supplied by K.M.C.
Balance water requirement will be fulfilled by collected rooftop rainwater and treated
wastewater. However, in inadequate municipal supply, groundwater might be abstracted
from the existing bore-well at site, permission for which has already been obtained from
the concerned authority.
10.4.1 Water Resource Management during Construction Phase:

High-pressure hose shall be used for cleaning and dust suppression.
Construction equipment requiring minimum water for cooling and operation for
optimum effectiveness will be chosen.
Ready mix concrete may be used to reduce on-site water consumption.
Effective water management will be adopted for optimum use of water during the
construction stage. For example, water used for cleaning the bricks can easily re-
used for sprinkling the excavation, landfilling purposes.
Curing water will be sprayed on concrete structure; free flow water will not be used
for curing.
Concrete structures will be covered with thick cloths/gunny bags and then water will
be spread on them. This would avoid water rebound and will ensure sustain and
complete curing.
10.4.2 Water Resource Management during Operational Phase:

The occupants and residents of the proposed complex will be encouraged for
optimum utilization of water. Wastage of potable water will be avoided.
Use of efficient plumbing fixtures, sensors, auto valves, etc. will be adopted to reduce
the water consumption and increase water efficiency.
During the monsoon period, as much rainwater as possible, will be collected and
used for recharging the aquifer through Rooftop Rainwater Harvesting.
10.5 WASTE WATER QUALITY

Regarding the management of water quality during the construction period of the
proposed complex, the wastewater from the construction activities will be discharged into
K.M.C. sewer after necessary treatment. During the operational phase, generated
sewage from the complex will be treated and reused for various secondary activities. The
excess treated wastewater will be discharged into the K.M.C. sewer.
10.5.1 Water Quality Management during Construction Phase

Construction waste and wastewater will be discharged into the K.M.C. sewer after
removal of grit and debris in sediment trap. Wastewater will not be discharged into
the open ground or neighbouring plot.
On site run-off containing dust and sediments will be controlled.
Leaching and stagnation of wastewater, which may contaminate groundwater quality
in the locality, will be avoided.
For dust control purpose, over-watering will be avoided to control soil erosion.
While painting the building surfaces, as much paint as possible will be transferred
from the roller, paint brushes and trays back into the paint container at the end of the
day of job.
CONSULTANT CENTRE FOR SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT 2

Wastewater from painting equipment cleanings and excess paints will be placed into
larger drums and the solids are allowed to settle.
10.5.2 Water Quality Management during Operational Phase

Potable water will be treated before use, if required.
During the monsoon period, as much rooftop rainwater as possible will be collected
and properly treated before recharging the aquifer.
Regular cleaning & maintenance of all overhead & underground water reservoirs will
be done.
Wastewater of sewerage line will be properly laid and the joints of two consecutive
pipes will be properly sealed to avoid the leakage of wastewater or sewage, which
may contaminate the groundwater quality of the locality.
The gradient of stormwater drain will be maintained properly. Drains will be covered
with gratings. Water logging in open ground will be avoided.
Adequate number of service toilets will be constructed to avoid defecation into the
open spaces.
10.6 LAND MANAGEMENT

Regarding the management of land within the proposed complex, it may be observed that
during the construction phase of the proposed complex, soil erosion due to the
construction activities as well as surface runoff and soil contamination due to the
construction waste and unorganized anthropogenic activities might take place. During the
operational phase of the proposed complex, contamination of soil quality might occur due
to improper disposal of household waste. To avoid those incidents, adequate measures
during the construction and operational phase of the proposed complex will be
undertaken.
10.6.1 Soil Management during Construction Stage

After the completion of the project, bare surfaces within the project site will be
covered with vegetation.
While landscaping the open areas, gentle gradient in the land surfaces will be
maintained as far as possible to avoid soil erosion.
Suitable stormwater drainage system for draining the surface run-off will be provided.
Excavated earth will be properly collected and stored within the project area.
Excavated earth will be used for filling up the low-lying areas of the project site to the
extent possible.
During excavation, the topsoil will be kept separate and used as topping material
after land filling, dressing, grading or leveling work is complete.
Building materials will be stored on a platform within a covered area.
Designated waste collection areas will be chosen within the project site. Excess
concrete will be dumped within this designated area.
Paint brushes, roller and excess paints will not be disposed off to bare ground, but
will be collected into a container and will be disposed as solid waste after drying it up.
Vehicular access within the project site will be controlled.
Solid waste generated due to human activities will be collected properly and
disposed off to the municipal authoritys solid waste collection system.
10.6.2 Solid Waste Management during Operational Stage

Solid wastes generated from different sources will be properly collected and disposed
off to maintain hygienic situation within the complex.
No indiscriminate disposal of garbage will be allowed within the complex. A proper
waste collection system will be implemented.
For residential apartments, it is recommended to go for House-to-House collection
system (HTH). This will also prevent the solid waste to find their way into the

roadside nullahs and drains. Thus the natural drainage of storm water is not
interrupted.
For club & community area, garbage is to be primarily stored into a common storage
bin of the respective floor and from there that will be collected and transported to the
common waste bin of the site by the agency people.
Waste from yard and garden should be collected into the small handcarts by the
sweeper and transported to the common waste bin.
Garbage collection is to be conducted during the early morning hours in a day.
Accumulation of garbage in the storage bin have to be avoided for more than 24
hours and collected garbage should be disposed off daily through municipality
garbage disposal system.
The size of the waste storage bin should be adequate to accommodate at least two
days solid waste. Storage bins will be non-corrosive with lids.
To avoid the dumping of garbage along the roads, parks, common areas, few number
of solid waste storage bins have to be placed in strategic location.
10.7 NOISE MANAGEMENT

During the construction period of the proposed complex, noise will primarily be generated
from construction activities and vehicular movement within the project site. As all the
construction activities will be carried on during the day time, the duration of the noise
generation will also be during the day time. In the operational phase, there will not be any
major source of noise pollution. However, to control the noise generation during the
construction and operational phase, following measures will be adopted.
10.7.1 Noise Management During Construction Phase

The equipment used or the modes of operation can be changed to produce less
noise. For instance, rotating or impacting machines can be used on anti-vibration
mountings.
Internal combustion engines must be fitted with silencers.
Construction equipments are to be maintained properly and regularly for smooth
functioning and less noise.
Vehicles not having proper silencer shall not be allowed to the project site.
Building materials like bricks, steel, coarse aggregate are to be unloaded on a sand
bed and inside a covered storage area to produce less noise.
Construction activities will be done during the day hours.
Noise pollution attenuating green belt, especially along the boundaries of the project
site is to be developed to reduce the impact of construction activities noise.
Temporary trenches will be dug along the external periphery of the building to
prevent the spreading of ground vibration due to piling works.
10.7.2 Noise Management During Operational Phase

Adequate trees will be planted along the peripheral boundary walls, which will act as
acoustic screen or vegetative barrier against the propagation of noise.
Generators in operation inside the campus should have silencers in the exhaust line.
The generator rooms will have lining and acoustic insulation inside.
Vehicular movement inside the campus should be controlled. The speed of the car
inside the campus will have limit and the drivers to be encouraged not to blow horn
unnecessarily.
10.8 LANDSCAPE AND PLANTATION MANAGEMENT

The project site has 40 trees, all of which will be retained. Moreover, sufficient trees will
be planted according to the landscape plan. Thus, the landscaping and plantation
programme within the project site will improve the aesthetic quality of the project site as
well as of the surrounding environment. Following measures may be adopted to maintain
ecological balance in and around the proposed development.

10.8.1 Landscape and Plantation Management During Operational Phase

Sufficient number of trees should be planted inside the campus. The nature and type
of plantation has been discussed earlier. Most native species will be selected for
plantation.
Open spaces should be covered properly with grass. No bare open space should be
allowed to left as it may lead to soil erosion.
Proper care should be taken to maintain the trees, plants as well as ground cover.
Trees will not be used for support; their trunks will not be damaged.
Lighting of fires or carrying out heat or gas emitting activity within the ground covered
by canopy of the tree will not be there.
Maintenance activities will be performed as needed to ensure that the vegetation
remains healthy during operation period.
10.9 MANAGEMENT OF SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Proper administration and management is very much essential to maintain a good socio
economic environment inside the proposed development. The development is residential
in nature. Therefore, need of proper management is enhanced as the landuse inside the
proposed development is residential in nature. Following measures may be adopted to
maintain and improve the socio economic environment inside the campus.
10.9.1Socio-Economic Environment in Construction Phase

Adequate facility in terms of water supply, sanitation, fuel, electricity and other
essential community services should be provided to the residing labourers at the
project site.
Local labourers will be employed to the extent possible.
10.9.2 Socio Economic Environment in Operational Phase

Vehicular as well as pedestrian movement inside the campus will be restricted to the
inhabitants of the complex and their service personnel only.
Illegal and unethical activities inside the campus are to be prohibited.
Proper safety and security measures regarding social aspects are to be adopted. In
this regard, responsibilities may be laid upon a security agency to take care of the
campus.
The inhabitants as well as the occupants should form a society for the overall
maintenance and improvement of the proposed residential complex.
10.10 IMPLEMENTATION OF EMP AND MONITORING
10.10.1 Constitution of Environmental Management Division

Various management techniques and measures have been suggested in the
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for the environmental protection and
improvement of the proposed development. These needs are to be implemented as per
the Guidelines and monitored regularly as per the advice of WBPCB. It is suggested that
the society or association of the proposed complex should have a full-fledged division
known as Environmental Management Division (EMD) reporting to the top management.
EMD should take necessary measures to look after the environmental management
aspects of the proposed complex.
The managers/officers of EMD should be given authority to look after their day-to-day
activities for managing the environmental problems at the complex. The division should
have sufficient funds to look after their day-to-day duties. The EMD should employ an
Environmental Manager/Officer having adequate qualification & experience.
Environmental Manager/Officer (Environment & Safety) should monitor the entire
complex regularly and intimate the management about the current status of the
environment and safety measures adopted. Management will review the reports of the
officer and suggest certain remedial measures in consultation with the society of the

residents of that complex for effective control of problems and pollution as well as
maintain safety of the campus.
Alternately, the society may engage a reputed agency in the field of environment, for
undertaking above mentioned task of monitoring and implementation of environmental
improvement measures in and around the complex.
10.10.2 MONITORING SCHEDULE
Regular monitoring for the following environmental aspects as per the requirements of
West Bengal Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) shall be carried out to ensure conformity
