map, land use/land cover map, socio-economic study as well as to monitor the base line
environment quality.Baseline study was conducted as per the approved TORs issued
by SEAC and guidelines of MoEF/CPCB.

5.1 Topography & Geology

Vagra Taluka of Bharuch district falls in geomorphic units of alluvial plain and coastal
zone. The quaternary sediments are overlying tertiary formation they comprise older
tidal flat and tidal marsh deposit. The lithological logs of the borehole data indicates that
the formation comprises of Alluvium both Aeolian and fluvial composed of sand, silt,
gravel clay and Kankar. The general ground slope is from East to West or more
precisely North-East to South-West. The study of subs-surface cross section
supported from pumping test data indicates that clay act leaky confining bed. Clays
are not perfectly impervious and form leaky semi-confined/ unconfined aquifer.

5.2 Seismology
The study area falls in Zone III as per IS 1893 (Part-I):2002, which is referred as
Moderate Damage Risk Zone. The area is liable to earthquakes of Modified Mercalli
Intensity Scale VII.

5.3 Micro-Meteorology
The site-specific micrometeorological data was collected continuously during the study
period by installing automatic weather station at project site. During the study period
wind was blowing mostly from SW direction with average speed of 2.89 m/s and
maximum speed of 21.69 m/s. Average temperature recorded was 30.9°C with
maximum temperature of 43.2°C and minimum of 20.1°C. The average relative humidity
was recorded as 62% and maximum as 95%.

5.4 Ambient Air

Baseline:
Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at five locations and baseline data
indicates that ranges of concentrations of PM 10 (48 to 91 μg/m3), PM 2.5 (18 to 43
μg/m3), SO 2 (7 to 18 μg/m3), NO x (11 to 25 μg/m3) and CO (0.26 to 0.78 mg/m3). It is
found that all the parameters are well within the NAAQs at five locations. HCl, NH 3 &
VOC concentration (as isobutylene) were below detectable limit (BDL) at all locations.

Executive Summary
Page | 8
 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
Proposed Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals

Impact Assessment:
• The significant pollutants identified due to flue gas emissions are PM, NO x and
SO 2 and due to process gas emissions are SO 2 , HCl and NH 3 .
• The maximum 24-hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) for pollutants
viz. PM 10 , SO 2 , NO x , HCl and NH 3 due to proposed project calculated using
mathematical model (ISCST3), which is very negligible even for the worst case
scenario.
• The incremental ground level concentration of various pollutants at all the ambient
air monitoring locations is very negligible and therefore there will not be any impact
on the air quality of surrounding villages due to the proposed project.
• It is revealed that all the parameters viz. PM 10 , SO 2 and NO x , are well within the
NAAQS after consideration of incremental concentration due to proposed project.

Mitigation Measures to be Adopted:

• For proper dispersion of pollutants adequate stack height and multicyclone for
proposed steam boiler, thermic fluid heater and DG sets will be provided.
• To control fugitive emission adequate measures will be taken (e.g. Process
optimization, good operation and maintenance, paving of roads etc.).
• Water scrubber followed by alkali scrubber will be provided for control of HCl & SO 2
emission and two stage water scrubbers will be provided to control emission of NH 3
gas.
• Periodic monitoring of air quality will be carried out for taking any pro-active
measures, if needed.

5.5 Surface and ground water

Baseline:
Surface water and Ground water samples were collected from the five locations from
study area once during the study period. All the parameters of collected pipe/surface
water and Ground water samples are well within the permissible limit at all locations
except turbidity and alkalinity at Jolva and Kadodra village. This was due to continuous
anthropogenic pressure, surface run-off in monsoon season and geological condition of
the villages.

Pipe/surface water and Ground water of all the location is fit for drinking purposes after
giving effective treatment.
Executive Summary
Page | 9
 Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
Proposed Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals

Impact Assessment:
• As total water supply will be from GIDC only, there will not be any direct impact
envisaged on the ground water.
• There may be risk of ground water and surface water contamination due to
wastewater generation, handling and disposal from the industrial activities like
process, washing, cooling and boiler.
• The domestic wastewater (sewage) generation of 1.5 KLD may contribute in surface
water contamination

Mitigation Measures to be Adopted:

• As a part of CSR activity, the unit will explore the opportunities to construct the
rainwater harvesting and groundwater recharge structures in consultation with local
Gram Panchayat and Village Heads in surrounding villages. Hence, there will not be
any adverse impact on water environment due to water availability and water
requirement of the proposed project.
• For effective treatment; safe handling and disposal of effluent, an adequate ETP will
be installed for treatment of industrial effluent. Treated effluent will be reused for
industrial activities. Hence, unit will maintain zero liquid discharge. However, unit
also proposes to discharge treated effluent, after achieving GPCB norms, for final
disposal through underground drainage system to be laid by GIDC.
• Unit will also install adequate administrate and infrastructural setup for the
continuous and efficient operation of ETP and will take necessary care during the
handling and disposal of effluent. Thus, there will not be any adverse impact on
water environment due to effluent generation.
• Domestic wastewater will be discharged through septic tank into soak pit.

5.6 Noise
Baseline:
The Noise readings were monitored for 24hrs at 5 different locations within the study
area. Noise levels were compared with the standards prescribed by MoEF which
indicates that the noise levels at all the locations were found well within the limit for day
& night time.

Executive Summary
Page | 10
Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Report
Proposed Project for Manufacturing of Synthetic Organic Chemicals

Impacts Assessment
• During construction phase the impact on noise environment will be due to
transportation activities (transportation of construction materials), construction
activities etc.
• During operational phase the impact on noise environment will be due to
transportation activities (transportation of raw materials and finished products etc.),
manufacturing activities and utilities.

Mitigation Measures to be adopted

• The unit will install latest technology based low noise D.G. Set with acoustic
enclosures.
• The noise generation will be mitigated by installing noise barriers/absorbers around
stationery noise sources, viz. pumps, compressors and blowers etc.
• Adequate noise control measures such as anti vibration pad for equipment with high
vibration will be provided. Proper and timely oiling, Lubrication &Preventive
Maintenance will be done regularly.
• All the vibrating parts will be checked periodically and serviced to reduce the noise
generation.
• Noisy equipments will be enclosed in sound proofing enclosures to give residual
sound pressure lower than 75 dB (A).
• To minimize the adverse effect on the health, Ear muffs/ earplugs will be provided to
the workers working under high noise area.
• Green belt will be act as a barrier to the propagation of noise from the factory
premises. It will also reduce the noise levels appreciably and so there will not be any
adverse impact occurred to the nearby present human settlement.
• Vehicular movements during operation phase for loading/unloading of raw and
finished materials and other transportation activity may also increase noise level.
The transport contractor will be instructed kept vehicle periodically serviced and
maintain as per the requirement of latest trend in automobile industry. Only those
vehicles with PUC’s will be allowed for the transportation.
• The transport contractor will be informed to avoid unnecessary speeding of vehicles
inside the premises.
• Noise monitoring will be carried out regularly at different plant of the unit as
proposed in the monitoring program.

5.7 Soil quality

Baseline:
Surface soil samples were collected from five locations of study area once in study
period. Water Holding Capacity of soil samples were in range of 0.44% (Samtapor
Village) to 0.97% (Project Site). The texture of soil is observed mainly loam type in the
study area. The concentration of available Phosphorous and Potassium were in the
range of 0.01 to 0.04 g/Kg and 0.1 to 2.7 g/Kg respectively, which signifies that the soil
of the area is not much fertile. The organic matter in the soil ranged from 1.0 to 1.8
mg/Kg.

Impacts Assessment
• Any construction activity brings significant change to the site topsoil. Excavation and
construction material waste disposal will likely to affect soil.
• In operational phase there will be chances of soil contamination due to improper
working of machineries or during transportation of raw materials or finished
products.
• During operation activity the impact of air, water and hazardous waste pollution will
cause direct / indirect effect on soil.
Mitigation Measures to be adopted
• As construction and excavation waste material are inert in nature, will be collected
and utilized in filling of low lying areas within the premises of plant site and road
construction at the site.
• Regular maintenance of plants and machineries will be carried out and proper care
taken while loading, unloading and transfer of materials to avoid any soil
contamination.

5.8 Landuse Pattern

Baseline:
Classification of land use/land cover was derived using ERDAS software from satellite
image. Based on the data it can be derived that the plant site is surrounded by fallow
land in all directions. (42.54% of total study area). Also, there is no protected area
notified under the Wild Life (Protection) Act (1972) & Eco-sensitive area notified under
Section 3 of the Environment (Protection) Act-1986 exists within 5 Km radius areas from
the Plant Site.

from the project site. As per 2011 census, the study area has total population of around
15,000 indicating that the area is sparsely populated with scattered settlements. Overall
literacy rate in the study area is 60.0%, which show that literacy rate in the study area is
moderate. The overall employment ratio for the 10 villages in the study area is 47%,
which shows that employment ratio is low.

Impacts
The proposed project will provide more employment opportunities, which help to
improve the overall socio-economic profile of the study area.

Moreover unit will carry out CSR activities in nearby villages with Dahej Industrial
Association (DIA) in the field of medical facilities, public health & welfare and green belt
development; this will help to improve the public health in the region to some extent.
Thus, there will be a beneficial impact on socio-economic environment due to proposed
project activities.

5.10 Biological Environment

Baseline:
The survey was carried out during study period to know the ecological status of the area
with respect to flora and fauna. During the survey, a total of 137 plant species, 44 bird
species, 10 mammal species, 9 reptile species, 22 species of insects and others
belonging to different 20 genera and 17 families were also recorded.It is observed
during site visit that floral and faunal species encountered are quite common and found
everywhere as there is no reserved forest, national park or sanctuary within the study
