BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY
3.1 INTRODUCTION
Baseline environmental status forms the basis for evaluation of the proposed
development on the existing conditions. This can be broadly grouped into
physical, social, aesthetic and economic environment. Physical environment
includes air, water, land, aquatic and terrestrial flora & fauna, civic
infrastructure, public services, etc. Social environment includes demography,
community facilities and services, community characteristics, employment
centres, commercial facilities servicing the area, etc. Economic environment
covers employment levels, sources and levels of income, economic base of the
area, land values, land ownership etc.
3.2 SCOPE OF BASELINE STUDIES
For the present EIA study, the attributes of environment considered are:

3.3 AIR ENVIRONMENT
3.3.1 Meteorology
Meteorology (weather and climate) is the key to understanding the air quality.
The essential relationship between meteorology and atmospheric dispersion
involves the wind in the broadest sense of the term. Wind fluctuations over a
very wide range of time accomplish dispersion and strongly influence other
processes associated with them.
Secondary data also plays an important role in identifying the general

meteorological status of the region. Site specific data can be compared with
secondary data in order to identify changes which may have taken place due to
various developments in the area. Both primary and secondary meteorological
data were collected.
Classification of months according to seasons is shown in following table:
Season Period
Summer March to May
Monsoon June to September
Post monsoon October to November
Winter December to February
Presentation of Secondary Data:
The main source of secondary meteorological data for the study area was the
Gazetteer of India.
The climate of Raigad district is mostly humid all‐round the year and receives
with average annual rainfall in the district is 2874.9 mm. About 94% of the
annual rainfall is received during south west monsoon season.

The project area has a typical coastal climate. The year can be divided into four
distinct seasons. The period from March to May comprises the summer seasons
and in subsequent months from June to September, the area comes under the
influence of south‐west monsoons. The months of October and November
experience the post‐monsoon seasons, while winter seasons lasts from
December to February.
Presentation of Primary Data:
A weather station was installed onsite to collect hourly data. This station
measured wind speed and direction, temperature, relative humidity, and rainfall.
The detailed data on the microclimate of the site was collected for a period of
three month (Dec 2016 ‐ Feb 2017), representing the winter season. A
micrometeorological station was set up in the study area near the project site for
collection of data at hourly intervals during the study period. Temperature,
humidity, wind speed and direction, pressure, rainfall and cloud cover were
monitored at hourly intervals. The data summaries are given in Table 3.2.

3.3.2 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY
Air pollution can cause significant effects on humans, animals, vegetation and
materials. The project construction is not a major contributor to the air pollution
except for particulate matter emission during both construction phase due to
plant and machinery and vehicular pollution during use phase. However, air
environment monitoring covered the parameter for which National Ambient Air
Quality standards have been defined by the Ministry of Environment and Forests.
Accordingly, parameters monitored were PM10, PM2.5, Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx),
Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Carbon monoxide (CO).
An assessment of baseline air quality was undertaken:
(a) To establish the status of exposure of the major sensitive receptors
(b) To identify the major air pollution sources and their impacts on the area
surrounding the site.
The following sources of air emissions were identified within the impact zone:
 Vehicular Emissions on Revdanda ‐ Murud Road

 Vehicular and construction activities in the surrounding areas of the site; and

 Other sources of air pollution within the impact zone include domestic fuel
combustion.
A well devised air quality monitoring program was undertaken to ascertain the
major air pollutants (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOX, and CO).
During the time of ambient air quality sampling (winter) the monitoring
locations were selected by taking into consideration the long‐term
meteorological trends to obtain the predominant wind direction. Monitoring
stations were placed at sensitive receptors within 5 km radius from the project
site. Monitoring stations were placed at the height of 3 meters at & are described
in Table 3.3. The locations selected for the air monitoring are shown in Figure
3.1.

Air quality was monitored at five locations for 24 hours, twice a week, for a total
of 12 weeks as per the guidelines specified by the MoEF. The volumetric flow
rate of each sampler was maintained at 1.1‐1.2 l/min. Collected air samples are
analysed by using standard procedures prescribed by Central Pollution Control
Board (CPCB), Indian Standards: IS 5182 and American Public Health Association
(APHA). Details of techniques used for analysis of air samples are given in Table

3.4 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Noise in general is a sound composed of frequency components of various

loudness distributed over the audible frequency range. The factors on which the
sound is described as noise depends upon its degree of loudness, period of
exposure and time of day and location at which it occurs.
The noise levels measurements were carried out by measured (A‐weighted)
using precision noise level meter. The noise level survey was carried at all the air
monitoring stations located within the 5 km radius of the proposed project site.
The major source identified in the study area is of vehicular traffic movement
and the construction activities.
Background noise levels were also monitored in study area.

3.4.1 Methodology for Noise Monitoring
Sound pressure level (SPL) measurements were automatically recorded with the
help of an Integrated Sound Level Meter to give the equivalent noise level for
every hour continuously for 24 hours in a day. In this manner, 1 full day (i.e. 24
hourly values) of data was collected at each of the four locations.
Selection of Noise Monitoring Locations:

The locations selected for noise monitoring were
 Project Site (R)
 Wandeli Village
 Borli Village
 Korlai Village

All the four locations are located in the residential zone.

Results
The equivalent noise levels viz., Lday and Lnight at all the noise monitoring
locations are presented in Table 3.7. The equivalent noise levels obtained at
these locations were compared with day time and night time Ambient Noise

by the competent authority.
3.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT
Ground water sample of exiting well were identified within the study area.
However the upcoming project will not affect these water bodies directly or
indirectly.
The drinking water is provided by Phansad Dam through Grampanchayat.
Water analysis of physico‐chemical and parameters related to health were

carried out as per the Standard IS 10500 to assess baseline water quality. The
results of the water quality along with the parameters which were monitored are
given in Table 3.9
After the analysis of the collected water sample, it was observed that pH of the
water sample was observed to be 7.1.
All results were found within the desirable limits.

The proposed project area lies in Raigad district in Maharashtra where in Panvel
creek, Taloja creek (Taloje River and Kasardi River) major surface water bodies
in the area. The Kasardi River water is polluted due to disposal of
treated/untreated effluent from the taloja MIDC area. The Kasardi River finally
meets to Taloja Creek. Taloja creek is also polluted due to disposal of sewage
from Kharghar area. Panvel creek moves from North east towards Southwest in
the study area. Ground water sources are also used in most of the villages for
drinking and agricultural purposes.

Due to high rainfall and loamy soil, the drainage intensity is high. The rock
formation in this region is mainly derived from Deccan basalt. The area is gently
sloping towards the coast on west and is covered with moderately shallow to
deep soils, mostly lateritic in nature, sometimes oxidized to yellow murrum. The
Patalganga, Kundalika, Amba and Savitri rivers constitute the westerly drainage
system of the coastal region. The drainage pattern is sub parallel which is
controlled by joints and fractures. The land is highly undulating with dense
forest hills to flat land with occasional low raised but weathered outcrops of
sedimentary & metamorphic. Soils are mostly loamy in character.
3.6 SEISMOLOGY
Study area is classified under the Zone III of the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS)
2000 seismic zone map for India as seen in Figure 3.3. Zone III is defined as
having a maximum intensity expected of around VII on MM scale.

Structurally, proposed project at has been designed to meet seismic
requirements of Zone III.
3.7 SOIL
Soil sample were collected at project site to establish the baseline characteristics.
Soil sample have been collected using auger from a depth of 60 cm from one
location. Soil sample collected were analysed for physical and chemical
characteristics. The results of the analysis are given in Table 3.13.

Texture is an important parameter of the soil which determines the usefulness
for agriculture purposes. Soil is mainly composed of three minerals i.e. sand, silt,
and clay. According to their size, these mineral particles are grouped into
separates. Soil separate in a group of mineral particles that fit within definite size
limits expressed as diameter in millimetres. A quantitative assessment of the
particle size distribution in the soil was made by wet sieve analysis and
sedimentation analysis using hydrometer, as per procedures laid down in IS:
2720 Part IV. According to BIS classification system, soils are primarily classified
based on dominant particle sizes and its plasticity characteristics. Soil particles
mainly consist of four size fractions. The particle sizes are designated according
to the scale mentioned in IS:1498, are shown below:
Table 3.10 A: Particle Size Distribution as per IS:1498

3.8 BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT
3.8.1 ECOLOGY
The ecological survey was carried out to establish the baseline ecological
conditions of the region. The project being residential in nature will not affect the
flora and fauna in the vicinity. On the contrary it will help in improving the
general ambience of the locality.


Description of ecological environment accompanied with possible important
delination is essential to impact assessment process. Biological environment has
been defined as all plants and animals in a given place and time and a description
of them. Also, it is defined as a "Science that concerns itself with the
interrelationships of living organisms, plants and animals and their
environment" (A. Macfadyen, 1957). However, only description of plants and
animals is not just sufficient for the EIA, but it is important to know how these
components will be affected adversively or positively due to the proposed
activities.

3.8.2 FLORA
List of flora observed in study area is given in Table 3.12. None of the plant
species is identified as belonging to rare, endangered or threatened category as
compared with records of Botanical Survey of India (Red Book of Data, Nayar,
1987, 1988 & 1990) and other available reports such as data from the district
forest office and the related reference books from the BNHS on the subject
(Billore, 1972; Almeida, 1996).

techniques generally provide information on the dominant species, rare or
endangered species, species sensitive to impacts and important ecological
interrelationships. There are several methods in which animals may be assessed.
The choice of method that is used varies with the extent and purpose of study.

A published list from Forest Departments (Thane and Raigad District) and
information gathered from the people residing in and around the study area was
used as reference materials.
AVIFAUNA
A total number of 71 species of birds including aquatic birds were identified

during the ecological survey. Table 3.13 gives the list of avifauna recorded in the
study area. The most striking was the avifauna and due to the active locomotion
of their body cataloguing species list method was applied in the assessment. The
mark‐recapture method was not practically feasible for the present study.

CHAPTER 4
ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT IDENTIFICATION, PREDICTION
AND ANALYSIS
4.1 INTRODUCTION
Environmental impact assessment involves identification, prediction and
evaluation of potential impacts of the proposed activities within the study area.
These activities include all the actions that are required for successful
construction of project and its use. The baseline setting for the environmental
components are documented in the previous chapter whereas the present
chapter discusses potential impacts during the construction /Operation phases.

The impact identification and prediction process aims to:
 Identify potential source or cause of impact throughout the life of project
 Assess the potential of changing likely‐hood of impact through
Environmental Management Plan (EMP).
4.2 POLLUTION SOURCES

Pollutants generated in the development of proposed Hotel Resort project during
both the construction and functional phases are solid, liquid and gaseous in
nature. Also the generation of pollution could be continuous, periodic or
accidental. Sources of pollutants and their characteristics during the construction
and functional phase are given below in Table 4.1.

4.3 IMPACT IDENTIFICATION

The critical areas of environmental concerns for which the impacts and their
predictions are taken into consideration are mainly:
 Land Environment
 Water Environnent
 Air Environnent
 Noise Environnent
 Aesthetics
 Socio economic Environment
 Energy Conservation
 Traffic Impact
The impacts can be further categorized as positive impacts and negative impacts
depending upon their nature, potential and magnitude.
4.3.1 Environmental Aspects of Construction Operations

Major environmental concerns related to construction activities are:
 Generation, storage, and disposal of wastes;

 Noise pollution due to plant, machinery, equipments and vehicle

movement;
 Air pollution due to machinery, equipments and vehicle movement;
 Generation and disposal of wastewater;
 Consumption of resources such as water, electricity
 Soil erosion caused due to loss of vegetation and other construction
activities.
4.3.2 Environmental Aspects of Building Planning and Use

Impacts identified during operation of the Resort such as:
 Disposal of domestic sewage.
 Disposal of solid wastes generated in the proposed project.

4.4 LAND ENVRIONMENT

The land is flat and sloping towards West direction. The existing land use will be
altered due to proposed project

Figure 4.2: Google image of project site and surrounding


Land area, built up area:

The project will be developed on the land comprising about 4030 m2 area. The
total built up area (FSI Proposed) of the Project is 1002.22 m2.
Water Supply: The total water requirement of project will during operation
phase will be 15 KLD. Sewage generation is 9 KLD. Total Fresh water
requirement is 8 KLD. Water will be source from Phansad Dam through
Grampanchayat. 4 KLD of treated water will be used for flushing, 5 KLD for
gardening purpose.
Power: The max demand load for Project is 0.08 MW. The power will be made
available from the MSEB.

Connectivity: The project site is accessible by Revdanda Murud Road.

Parking: The four wheeler parking required as per rule is 20Nos and provided is
20 Nos. The two wheeler parking required as per rule is 12 Nos. and provided is
12 Nos.

Construction debris: The construction debris generated during construction
phase is 40 m3. The regular health check of construction workers will be carried
out at project site. The Personal protective equipment’s will be provided to each
worker. The regular training on health and safety will be given to the workers.

During construction phase activities such as clearance, cutting, filling and
Levelling will take place. Construction activities involving levelling, excavation
(Foundation purposes) and removal of existing vegetation would invariably
disturb the soil of the area. The impacts on soil during construction phase shall
be mainly due to loss of top soil in the construction areas and contamination of
the soils of surrounding area due to construction materials such as cement, sand
etc.
4.5 WATER ENVIRONMENT

The water requirement during construction phase is 5 KLD. Ground water will
not be used during construction phase. Therefore, impact on ground water
availability is insignificant. The current ground water level is in the range of 0.5‐
1.0 m.
Domestic water supply for the proposed project of the project will be from
Phansad Dam through Grampanchayat.

The total water requirement of project will be 15 KLD. Sewage generation is 9
KLD. Total Fresh water requirement is 8 KLD. Water will be source from Phansad
Dam through Grampanchayat. 4 KLD of treated water will be used for flushing
and 5 KLD for gardening purpose.
Treated water from STP will be used for flushing in toilets and landscape area.
The project activity shall have rainwater harvesting only of rainfall on terraces.
RWH tank of 10 m3 will be provided. The stored water will be used for domestic
purpose.

Storm water: Storm water generation from the entire plot area is 0.22 m3/sec.
SWD are already developed in and around the project site.

The plan showing SWD line at project site is given in figure 4.2:


Figure 4.2: Storm Water Drainage Plan


To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of water source, adequate

control measures have been proposed to check the surface run‐off, as well as
uncontrolled flow of water into any water body.
 Avoid excavation during monsoon season.
 Rainwater harvesting can serve as a solution to water problem in worst case
scenario.

Following methods can increase efficiency of rainwater harvesting and
recharging groundwater.
 Catch drainage all along the periphery of plot to prevent surface runoff.
 Reduce and filter surface runoff.

Use vegetated swales and depressions to reduce runoff.
Impacts of the proposal on the ground water: In the proposed development there
will be no tapping of groundwater. Water demand for the operational phase will
be met from sources such as TMC.

Unsanitary conditions during construction phase: No, the deployment of
construction labourers will not lead to any unsanitary condition. The
construction labourers will be provided with temporary shelter shades within
the project premises. The unsanitary condition will be removed by means of
providing readymade septic tanks. Solid waste will be disposed off in municipal
waste disposal system.
Sewage Treatment: The Sewage Treatment plant (STP) is designed to treat the
raw waste water generated. Probable impact on water resources in the operation
phase will be mainly due to discharge of domestic sewage generated during the
use phase of the building.
The sewage generated from proposed project will be around 9 KLD. The sewage
will be treated in STP of total 10 KLD capacity. The treated sewage will be used
for flushing and gardening purpose.
Dual plumbing system: The proposed development will have the dual plumbing
system as the treated sewage will be used for recycling.
4.6 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

VEGETATION:
Impact on ecology may be of two types: (1) physical disturbances, (2) Exposure
to pollutants.
There is no sensitive ecosystem present at site that will be disturbed by the
project, as existing land use in surrounding area is residential and commercial
Disturbances of physical environment either directly by occupation of land or
indirectly by changes in water levels and flow, soil structure, land form etc. can
have effect of removing habitats, plants and animals or, disturbing feeding,

roosting, nesting, reproduction and migration requirements. Damages to the

habitats can be caused by various construction activities.
FAUNA
There will be no direct or indirect impact on the avifauna of the area.
The sightings of bird species were very less during the study period. The most
commonly spotted bird species of this area were; Parrot, sparrow, Owl, Bat
Intermediate Egret, Red‐wattled Lapwing, Spotted Dove, House Crow, Purple
Sunbird, Bank Myna and common Myna, Magpie Robin, Cattle Egret, Rock Pigeon,
, Puff‐throated Babbler, White‐breasted Kingfisher, Wire‐tailed Swallow.
4.7 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The project will result in negligible increase in the atmospheric concentrations of
gases due to increased traffic. The proposed activity will not result in the
formation of any heat islands, as it does not involve any significant change in the
land use pattern. The baseline concentration of pollutants at project site is given
below

Sources of air pollution during construction phase are:
 Movement of vehicles to carry construction material;
 Site clearance/excavation (Foundation purpose);
 Emission from construction machinery; and
 Emissions due to vehicular movement
Vehicles carrying construction material are expected to result in increased SPM
levels. This can be of potential importance if the vehicles pass through the
residential areas. At the construction yard, the dust levels are also expected to
increase due to unloading of construction materials.

Construction Phase: Increase in ambient noise levels is expected during
construction phase. The operation of construction / material handling
machinery. Construction vehicles employed for transporting various
construction materials will also lead to increase in ambient noise levels.
However this will be short term impacts and will be restricted to construction
phase only.
The magnitude of impact from noise will depend upon type of equipment to be
used, construction method and also on work scheduling. The quantity of the
waste being very small, the hours of operations is not expected to be more
than one shift. Further, it has been decided not to operate the landfill after
sunset. Thus, it is not expected to affect ambient noise levels.
Noise limit / specifications for construction equipment’s are not yet prescribed
by MoEF. However, the limited information on some of the equipment’s is
available and is tabulated below:
Table 4.2: Noise Limits for Appliances & Equipment’s at Construction Stage

Equipment Noise Limit

dB(A)
Window Air Conditioner 68
Air Cooler 60
Diesel Generators 85‐90
Compactors (rollers), front loaders, concrete mixers,

and machinery are provided in Table 4.3.

*calculated noise levels referring to the source ColumbiaWorkshop1‐Construction Noise.pdf

The resultant average noise emission level at 1 m from source, as calculated from
information provided in Table 4.3 are considering that all pertinent equipment’s
are in operation at a time, which is a remote possibility.

The baseline noise level at project site and surrounding area is 54 dB(A).
Predictions have been carried out to compute the noise level at various distances
around the project site and output is shown in Figure 4.2

Anticipated noise levels at project site and surrounding area resulting from
construction activity have been computed using point source model.
Basic phenomenon of the model is the geometric attenuation of sound. Noise at a
point generates spherical waves, which are propagated outwards from the
source through the air at a speed of 1,100 ft/sec, with the first wave making an
ever‐increasing sphere with time. As the wave spreads the intensity of noise
diminishes as the fixed amount of energy is spread over an increasing surface
area of the sphere.
The assumption of the model is based on point source relationship i.e., for every
doubling of the distance the noise levels are decreased by 6 dB (A). Point source
propagation is defined by the following equation:
Noise (Receptor) = Noise (Source) – 20 log [Distance (Receptor)/ Distance (Source)]

Noise Levels

Use of proper personal protective equipment will mitigate any significant impact
of the noise generated by such equipment. Similarly, as the major work will be
carried out during the day time, the impact on the surrounding area due to the
activity will be negligible.

Functional Phase: The impact on noise during the operation phase of the
project will be due to vehicular traffic. The incremental noise level at project site
will be around 4 dB(A). The noise impact due to traffic on habitable floor is
negligible. Proper management of the entry & exit movement of the vehicle
would reduce the congestion of roads leading in and out of the proposed project.
Implementation of traffic management systems will help in lessening the noise
impacts. The DG Sets shall be as per the guide lines laid down by EPR for specific
noise emission standards. Measures shall be taken for reduction of noise by
using acoustic enclosures.
4.9 AESTHETICS
The project would have significant impact on aesthetics if it would cause any of
the following conditions to occur
 Have a substantial adverse effect on a scenic vista;
 Substantially damage scenic resources, including, but not limited to, trees,
rock outcroppings, and historic buildings within a state scenic highway
 Substantially degrade the existing visual character or quality of the site
and its surroundings
 The degree to which the project would contribute to the area's aesthetic
value;
 The degree of contrast between proposed features and existing features
that represent the area's valued aesthetic image;
 The change in ambient illumination levels as a result of project sources

Construction Phase: The aesthetics of the project area is likely to get disturbed
during the construction phase. However, barricading the construction site will
help in improving its visual aesthetic to the by passers. Also, this will not be a
permanent impact and will be confined to the construction phase only.
Functional Phase: The proposed land use of the site would be mainly
Residential & restaurant & Lodging Buildings and will not result in obstruction of
view, scenic amenity or landscape. However, the buildings will be planned in
such a way that the organised open areas and landscaped areas are at the centre
so that all can enjoy the green areas. Internal roads, footpaths/ pedestrian
pathways have been planned within the proposed project. The project has been
designed as per the development control of Town planning Authority. No
anthropological or archaeological sites or artefacts are found near the site area.
There will be around 415.15 m2 open space/RG in project project. The provision
of landscaped garden and green belt development in proposed project will
improve the aesthetics value.
4.10 Socio‐Economic Environment

Construction Phase: Majority of the labour will be recruited locally and only
minimal skilled workers would be from outside, which is anticipated to be very
small and will not alter the existing demographic profile of the area. Most of the
construction work is labour intensive. As most of the job will be done by
contractors, it will be ensured that the contractor's workers are provided with
proper facilities including sanitation and drinking water supply.

A significant number of workers (Approx 30 Nos.,) comprising of skilled, semi‐
skilled and unskilled labourers, shall be employed by various contractors at site
during the peak period of construction phase. Significant number of semiskilled
and unskilled labourers would be recruited from the nearby areas. This would
create temporary employment opportunities in the area.

Short term employment will be created during construction activities and this
will be a positive impact of the proposed project.

Functional Phases: The use phase of the project will have overall positive
impacts on socio economic environment. The project will generate employment
(employment of Hotel staff activity) during operational phase which will benefit
the local population in getting work opportunities. It will create long term
employment in activities such as maintenance of the buildings and ancillary
services. This will improve the quality of life within the core zone and will have a
long‐term beneficial impact.

4.11 BUILDING MATERIAL

Building materials with high embodied energy will be used. Materials with high‐
embodied energy Building materials such as fly ash, light weight concrete,
composite or engineered marble, aluminium, recycled glass or composite wood
will be used.


Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in pollution,

noise & public nuisance. Adequate mitigative measures will be adopted.
Construction equipment with idling control technologies will be used. Regular
maintenance of the equipments will be carried out. The construction activities
will be carried out during the daytime only. The workers exposed to high noise
generating would be provided with earplugs earmuffs. The detailed mitigation
measures are given in Chapter 9
Solid waste: The operation phase of the project will generate garbage as solid
waste. Land contamination mainly occurs because lack of proper storage and
disposal of solid waste. The solid waste will be mainly domestic in nature and
will not contain any hazardous waste. Solid waste generated from entire project
will be 18 kg/day. Out of which 11 kg/day will be biodegradable Component and
7 kg/day will be Inert, Recyclable Waste. Segregation of dry and wet garbage
will be done at source. Dry garbage as inert/recyclable waste such as plastics,
glass, metals, rubber will be segregated and disposed off to recyclers. Wet
garbage/biodegradable matter as leftover food, vegetables will be composted
using vermicomposting.
4.12 ENERGY CONSERVATION

The power supply (Maximum Demand Load) necessary for the proposed
buildings is estimated as 0.08 MW. The power will be made available from the
MSEB and Permission for the same will be obtained.

Energy conservation measures proposed in the project is as follows
 Energy efficient lighting using LED’s
 Solar lighting on street and RG area
 Solar hot water system
 Use of high energy efficient pumps for fire fighting, UG tanks and STP

Solar street lights are proposed in building and common areas such as open
spaces, pathways, RG etc. Also solar hot water system is proposed project.

4.13 TRAFFIC IMPACT
Construction Phase: The traffic impact during construction phase will be due to
increased movement of trucks carrying debris. The parking of the construction
vehicles at the site premises on the road will cause congestion of traffic.
Adequate parking space should be made inside the construction premises to
lessen the impacts.

Functional Phase: In the operation phase there will be increase in the vehicular
movement because of the tourist and visitors.

The site is accessible by existing 13.0 m wide Alibaug‐ Murud State highway & 9.0
m wide access Road.

4.14 IMPACT MATRIX

Various activities from the proposed project are likely to have some impacts on
the environmental constituents during its construction as well as operational
phase. The impact assessment matrix given in Table 4.4 reveals the impacts
associated with each activity of the project on various environmental parameters
before any mitigation measures are implemented. Table 4.5 reveals the impact
matrix after possible mitigation measures are implemented. To assess the
severity of the impacts, they are categorized as follows.

SPECIFIC STUDIES
5.1 TRAFFIC PATTERN AND DENSITY
Traffic Surveys are necessary to capture the existing pattern and volume of traffic
as a base line data.

Network Inventory Survey and Traffic Volume Surveys were conducted on the
Grampanchayat Road. The Grampanchayat Road is the main road in the study
area for commuting to project site. The traffic survey was conducted near project
site to ascertain the present traffic scenario to evaluate traffic impact that will
result from proposed development.
Figure 5.1: Project location
In the operation phase there will be increase in the vehicular movement because
of the tourists and visitors. The peak hour traffic count for road is as follows:

5.2 IMPACT ON TRAFFIC
5.2.1 Construction Phase
The traffic impact during construction phase will be due to increased movement
of haul trucks carrying excavated soil, debris and construction materials. These
movements of trucks will be very less in numbers as compared to the present
traffic. The parking of the construction vehicles outside the site premises on the
road will cause congestion of traffic. Adequate parking space has been made
inside the construction premises to lessen the impacts.

5.2.2 Functional Phase

CHAPTER 7
RISK ASSESSMENT & DMP
Risk assessment study deals with identifying and evaluating the magnitude of
impending risks to the population is exposed due to occurrence of accidents from
project construction and development. This assists in illustrating the guidelines
for preparation of disaster management plan which will be executed to handle the
situation if any emergency. Following are the risks that are identified in buildings.
7.1 FIRE RISK

Fire is mainly caused in residential & restaurant due to negligence, short circuits
and malfunctioning of gas regulator (Kitchen), tube and such related products.
At the proposed project, hazard occurrence may result in on‐site implications like:
 Fire and/or explosion;
 Leakage of flammable material and leading to fire;
 Natural calamities like earthquake, tsunami etc.
There are two worst‐case scenarios for fires in buildings:

 If fire takes place with high intensity such that even after it is being
extinguished, it could damage the building structure on term point of view.
 A fire originating on the building’s floors is able to spread throughout all the
levels of the structure.
The overall objective of a disaster management plan is to make use of the
combined resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following:
1. To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it;
2. To minimize the effects of the accident or hazard on people and property;
3. Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
4. Safeguard other people;
5. Evacuate people to safe areas;
6. Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;

The DMP has therefore to be related to the identification of sources from which
hazards can arise in the concerned area. The plan takes into account actions that
can successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ Emergency need to be well planned
so as they would require less effort and resources to control and terminate
emergencies.
7.2 PUBLIC SAFETY
The incidence of fire or other disasters occurring in buildings often endangers the
safety of the persons working in the structure, in the event of an emergency.

The only way of reducing the damage to public life and property is by conducting
fire safety drills and installing well equipped fire safety equipment’s such as
smoke detectors, heat sensors, sprinklers, fire extinguisher, water jet, hooters &
fire detection system.
7.3 EMERGENCY RESPONSE

7.3.1 Emergency Situations
These are defined as the following:

 Any fire or explosion in the premises
 Any smoke outside / inside premises
7.3.2 Emergency Response in Case of Emergency

Basic Actions:
 Immediate and prompt action is the most important factor in the emergency
control
 Immediate steps to stop fire
 Electrical system except the lighting and fire fighting system would be
isolated and be kept separated.
If the feed to the fire cannot be cut off, the fire must be controlled and not
extinguished. Some of the measures that could be followed are:
 Start water spray systems in the areas involved in or exposed to fire risks.
 Block all roads in the adjacent area and enlist support for the purpose, if
warranted.
7.3.3 Actions in the Event of Fire:
Basic actions will be same as detailed above.
 Extinguishing fires: A small fire at a point of leakage should be extinguished
by enveloping with a water spray or a suitable smothering agent such as CO2.
However, fire should not, unless under exceptional circumstances, be
extinguished until the escape or leakage of product (e.g. LPG) has been
stopped.
 Fire fighting personnel working in or close to fire, must be protected
continuously by water sprays. Fire fighters should advance towards the fire
downwind if possible.
 In case the only valve that can be used to stop the leakage is surrounded by
fire, it may be possible to close it manually. The person attempting the closure
should be continuously protected by water sprays, fire entry suit, water jet
blanket etc. The person must be equipped with a safety belt and a manned
lifeline.

7.3.4 Leakage from a LPG cylinder (canteen area) without fire:

 Cordon off the area around 30 meters radius so that no vehicle or source of
ignition approached the area. Attempt must be made to close the control/
manual valve.
 Open all windows to increase ventilation and hence prevent build up of vapor
cloud.
 Avoid getting entrapped in the cloud vapor.
 Warn the surrounding areas to put off all naked flames.
7.3.5 Response sequence for dangerous situations:

Person noticing the fire should attempt to isolate and extinguish the fire with the
available equipment and inform or arrange to inform the security regarding the
following:
 Location of the fire
 The extent of fire
Security on duty coordinators will:

 Must respond accordingly and coordinate all the activities
 Arrange to send the necessary fire fighting equipment to the place of the
incident
 Extinguish the fire with the available equipment.

7.3 6 Post Emergency Follow Up
 All cases of fire occurrence, no matter how small or big, must be reported
promptly to the Coordinator for follow up.
 Under no circumstances should fire extinguishing equipment once used be
returned to its fixed location before it is recharged/ certified fit by the Fire
chief/ Safety Manager.
 Used fire extinguishers must be laid horizontally to indicate that they have
been expended.
7.4 MEDICAL AID

First aid kit box must be maintained at each floor. It should at least have medicinal
aid for burns and some asphyxiation. If needed, help from the nearby city
hospitals/doctors should be obtained.
7.5 RESPONSE EVALUATION, TESTING & UPDATING OF THE PLAN

Formulation of a Disaster Management Plan cannot possibly be an end by itself. It
needs to be amended by holding of periodical mock emergency simulation and
drill. Any shortcomings revealed during such exercise should thereafter be
corrected by amending the plan.

The plan should be reviewed at periodic intervals. The plan should be also
reviewed and updated when:
 Major alteration or extension of existing structure is carried out.
 Major change in habitation or land use of the neighbourhoods takes place.
 Important telephone numbers used are altered or changed.

Mock drills activities should be conducted periodically for ensuring its efficiency
during emergency as well as for refinement and up gradation. These drills based
on the plan will help achieve its objectives of the disaster management plan.

office/hotel staff etc. – 10‐15 people employed.

CHAPTER 9
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
9.1 INTRODUCTION
Identification and prediction of impacts further needs to suggest the mitigation
measures which play a vital role in prevention of environmental pollution during
construction and implementation phase of proposed project. This leads to
preparation of environmental management plan. Environmental management
plan therefore forms an imperative part of Rapid EIA process.
The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to
ensure that the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner
where all contractors and subcontractors to understand the potential
environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate
actions. EMP also ensures that the project implementation is carried out in
accordance with the design and by taking appropriate mitigative actions to reduce
adverse environmental impacts during its life cycle.
The potential environmental impacts, which need to regulate are mentioned
below:
 Air pollution due to the emission of Particulate Matter and gaseous pollutants;
 Noise pollution due to various noise generating equipment as well as vehicular
movement;
 Wastewater generation from sanitary/domestic activities; and Solid waste
disposal.
9.2 AIR ENVIRONMENT

The major sources of air pollution during the construction period will be from the
movement of vehicles for construction activity, the emissions are from the
stationary sources like generator sets during emergency service only, and
excavation for foundation. Dust suppression by spraying of water will reduce
these impacts considerably.
To mitigate the impact of SPM/dust during the construction phase of the
proposed project, the following measures are recommended:
 A Fugitive dust control.
 Procedural changes to construction activities.
‐ Fugitive Dust Control
Source wise Fugitive dust control measures are tabulated below:


Table 9.1: Fugitive Dust Control Measures
Source Control Measures

‐ For any earth moving which are more than 30m
Earth moving from site boundary, conduct watering as
necessary to prevent visible dust emissions.
‐ Apply dust suppression measures frequently to
maintain a stabilized surface; ‐ Areas, which
Disturbed surface areas cannot be stabilized, as evidenced by wind driven
dust, must have an application of water at least
twice per day.
‐ Water all roads used for any vehicular traffic at
least twice per day of active operations; OR ‐
Unpaved roads Water all roads used for any vehicular traffic
once daily and restrict vehicle speed to 20 kmph,
which will reduce dust emission.
‐ Downwash of construction vehicles (especially
Track‐out control
tyres) prior to departure from site.
The most cost‐effective dust suppressant is water, because a source of water

tends to be readily available on a construction site. Water can be applied using
handheld sprays.
To mitigate the impact of pollutants from vehicular traffic during the operational
phase of the site, the following measures are recommended for implementation:
 Vehicle emission controls; and
 Landscape development.
Vehicle Emission Controls
Regular maintenance of the vehicle should be mandatory. Restriction of speed is

also helpful in the reducing the emission rate. Instead of petrol, CNG/LPG as fuel
should be encouraged.
Landscape Development
Increasing vegetation in the form of Landscape is one of the preferred methods to
mitigate air pollution. Plants generate oxygen, serve as a sink for pollutants,
reduce the flow of dust and reduce noise pollution.

To mitigate the impact of noise from construction equipment, the following
measures are suggested:
 Noise prone activities will be restricted to the extent possible during night.

 Workers employed in high noise areas will be rotated. Earplugs/muffs, or

other hearing protective wear will be provided to those working very close
to the noise generating machinery.

To mitigate the impact of noise from diesel generator sets as discussed in
previous chapter during this phase the following measures are recommended for
implementation:
 Noise Emissions Control Technologies:
DG would be housed in a suitable acoustic treated room, which should be
designed for meeting the ambient noise standards. It would be ensured that the
manufacturer provides acoustic treated rooms as an integral part with diesel
generator sets.
 Landscape Development:
Noise attenuating / breaking species can be used in a Landscape especially
surrounding noise generating sources. Appropriate trees which will act as noise
barriers should be planted in the premises and along the road side.
9.4 IMPACT ON WATER RESOURCES

To prevent degradation and maintain the quality of the water, adequate control
measures have been proposed to check the surface run‐off, as well as
uncontrolled flow of water into any nearby water body like sea etc. Following
management measures are suggested to protect the water quality during this
phase.
 Avoid excavation (foundation purpose) during monsoon season.
 Care should be taken to avoid soil erosion.
 Septic tanks shall be constructed on the site during construction phase to
prevent wastewater from entering the water bodies.
 Construction activities generate disturbed soil, concrete fines, oils and
other wastes. On‐site collection and settling of storm water, prohibition
of equipment wash downs, and prevention of soil loss and toxic releases
from the construction site are necessary to minimize water pollution.

Water conservation need to be taken including all possible potential for reuse and
recycling of water. These could be in the form of the following:
 Rain water harvesting
 Recycling of treated water
 Minimizing water consumption
Promoting reuse of water after treatment and development of closed loop
systems for different water streams.

 Rain water harvesting: Roof top rain water harvesting shall be

practiced. As a part of measure, Project Proponent has planned for roof
top Rain water harvesting as detailed in Chapter‐2.
 Minimizing Water Consumption: Water consumption will be
minimized by a combination of water saving devices and other domestic
water conservation measures. Furthermore, to ensure ongoing water
conservation, an awareness programme will be introduced. This is
discussed in following section, which shall be implemented:
Usage:
 Use of water efficient plumbing fixtures. Water efficient plumbing fixtures
use less water with no marked reduction in quality and service.
 Leak detection and repair techniques.

Horticulture:
 Drip irrigation system shall be used for the lawns and other green area.
Drip irrigation can save between 15‐40% of the water use, compared with
other watering techniques.
 Plants with similar water requirements shall be grouped on common zones
to match precipitation heads and emitters.
 Use of low‐volume, low‐angle sprinklers for lawn areas.
 Select controllers with adjustable watering schedules and moisture
sensors to account for seasonal variations, and calibrate them during
commissioning.
 Selecting a drought resistant grass, and using lawn chemicals and fertilizer
sparingly also reduces watering needs.
 Place 3 to 5 in. of mulch on planting beds to minimize evaporation.
Promoting reuse of water after treatment & development of closed loop
systems:
To promote reuse and development of closed loop system for water, segregation
of two schemes namely (i) Sewage treatment scheme (ii) Roof top rain Water
harvesting has been proposed.

Harvested roof top water will be utilised for floor washing, car washing,
gardening, and other domestic purposes and treated Sewage shall be recycled for
flushing and gardening

It is estimated that reusing wastewater will save approximately 35 to 40% of
potable water per day.


Storm Water Management:
As discussed earlier, most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested
for ground water recharge, thus proper management of this resource is must to
ensure that it is free of contamination. The details of Storm water management
proposed is given in chapter 2.
Contamination of storm water is possible from the following sources:
 Diesel and oil spills in the Diesel Power Generator & fuel storage area.
 Waste spills in the solid waste storage area.
 Oil spills and leaks in vehicle parking lots.

 Silt from soil erosion in gardens.
Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider the above
sources and will incorporate following best management practices:
 Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.
 Cover waste storage areas.
 Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.
 Secondary containment and dykes in fuel/oil storage facilities.
 Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness.
 Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage
areas.
 Good housekeeping in the above areas.
9.5 LAND ENVIRONMENT

 Waste generated from construction activity includes construction
debris, biomass from land clearing activities, waste from the labour
camp, etc. Following section discusses management for each type of
waste. Besides management of topsoil is an important area for which
management measures are required.
Construction Debris:
 Construction debris is bulky and heavy and re‐utilization and recycling
is an important strategy for management of such waste. As concrete
and masonry constitute the majority of waste generated, recycling of
this waste by conversion to aggregate can offer benefits of reduced
landfill space and reduced extraction of raw material for new
construction activity. This is applicable to proposed site since the
construction is to be completed in a phased manner.
 Recycled aggregate will be used for filler application, and as a sub‐base
for road construction. Mixed debris with high gypsum, plaster, shall not

be used as fill, as they are highly susceptible to contamination, and will

be given to recyclers.
 Construction contractors shall remove metal scrap from structural
steel, piping, concrete reinforcement and sheet metal work from the
site. A significant portion of wood scrap can be reused on site.
Recyclable wastes such as plastics, glass fiber insulation, roofing etc.
shall be sold to recyclers.

Topsoil Management
 To minimize disruption of soil and for conservation of topsoil, the
contractor shall take the topsoil out separately and stockpile it. After the
construction activity is over, topsoil shall be utilized for landscaping
activity. Other measures, which would be followed to prevent soil erosion
and contamination include:
 Maximize use of organic fertilizer for landscaping and green belt
development.
 To prevent soil contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers should
be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease and wash off from
the oil/grease handling area shall be drained through impervious drains
and treated appropriately before disposal.
 Removal of as little vegetation as possible during the development, and
re‐vegetation of bare areas after the project.
 Working in a small area at a point of time (phase wise construction).

The philosophy of solid waste management will be to encourage the four R’s of
waste i.e. waste reduction, reuse, recycling, and recovery (materials & energy).
This will result in lesser reliance on land filling.
The Environmental Management Plan for the solid waste focuses on three major
components of the waste management system i.e. collection & transportation,
treatment or disposal and closure & post closure care of treatment/disposal
facility.

Collection & Transportation:
 During the collection stage, the biodegradable and non‐recyclable/ non‐

biodegradable waste will be stored and collected separately. Only the
non‐recyclable & non‐biodegradable waste will be sold to authorized
agency. Biodegradable waste will be composted.
 To minimize littering and odors, waste will be stored in well‐designed
containers/bins that will be located at strategic locations.
 The collection vehicles will be well maintained to minimize noise and
emissions, and while transporting waste, these will be covered to avoid
littering.

Treatment & Disposal:
 The segregated biodegradable waste will be composted using
mechanical composting method. The finished product, i.e. the compost
can be utilized in green area. The details of solid waste management
proposed for project is given chapter 2.
9.6 ECOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT

After completion of major construction work, the green belt will be developed as
there will be no or less disturbance in these areas.
In the functional phase the proposed project will not have any major impacts on
the biological environment. Extensive plantation and landscaping is proposed to
mitigate any impacts during this phase.
Landscape Development Plan
Various types of trees are proposed for plantation. Plantation will be taken up
randomly and the landscaping aspects would be taken into consideration. The
trees will be planted along the compound wall with adequate space between them
so that their growth is not hampered. Landscape plan is shown in figure 9.1.


Figure 9.1: Landscape Plan

9.7 AESTHETICS
Also the impacts on aesthetic environment are short term and restricted only in
the initial stages of project construction. Further in the operation phase it will be
compensated by tree plantation and gardens.
9.8 ENERGY CONSERVATION

Energy conservation program will be implemented through measures taken both
on energy demand and supply. Energy conservation will be one of the focuses
during the building planning. The conservation efforts would consist of the
following:
Architectural Design:
 Maximize the use of natural lighting through design.
 Energy conservation aspects such as selection of appropriate building
material having adequate thermal resistance value (R value) and solar water
heating systems. A solar hot water will be provided to population. Solar
lights will be provided for street lighting and garden lighting.
Energy Saving Practices:
 Purchase of energy efficient appliances.
 Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy
used for desired comfort levels.
 Use of LED’s in common areas
Behavioural change on consumption:
 Training staff on methods of energy conservation and to be vigilant to such
opportunities.

Over and above the energy conservation measures proposed and % saving of
energy is given in chapter 5
9.9 ENVIRONMENTALLY SIGNIFICANT FEATURES

Following are some features of the project that will help in improving the overall
environment related aspects in the residential complex.
 All rooms are designed with adequate opening to have proper natural light
and ventilation. Not only this will create comfortable, healthy and pleasant
indoor environment but also it will help in improving the heat loss and gain
balance of the buildings.
 All external openings will have an apron to reduce the heat gain from the
atmosphere which in turn will result in reduced electrical energy
consumption and thereby enhancing cost savings.
 External aluminum windows with appropriate glass will be provided to
control the unwanted glare of day lighting which will also result in
minimizing the heat gain, thus creating cooling effect.

 Treated domestic sewage and grey water after treatment will be used for
gardening and flushing purpose thus, serving the purpose of water
conservation.
 A well planned rain water harvesting unit is proposed which will help in
recharging the underground water table.
9.10 RAIN WATER HARVESTING AND REDUCE SURFACE RUNOFF

Rainwater harvesting can serve as a solution to the water problem in the water
crises area by capturing the runoff. Rainwater harvesting helps in utilizing the
primary source of water and prevent the runoff from going into sewer or storm
drains, thereby serving dual purpose:
Making water available for future use and reducing the load on treatment plants.
Recharging the water aquifers help in improving the quality of existing
groundwater through dilution. Rainwater harvesting comprises of two
components:
 Storing Rainwater in ground water reservoirs for beneficial use in future
 Rain water harvesting for artificial recharge of ground water.
Amount of water that can be effectively harvested is called the harvesting
potential of the site. Based on the run off coefficient, rainfall and type of
catchments area, water harvesting potential of site can be calculated.
The ground water recharge in the project area is not feasible as the ground water
table in the project area is at 0.5 to 1 m. The roof top rain water will be diverted
from terrace to the storage tank through HDPE/PVC pipes after passing through
a filter media.
The roof top rain water harvesting potential of the project area is around 5 KLD.
1 RWH tank will be provided with capacity of 10 KLD. The excess harvested
water will be discharged in Storm water drains.
The roof top rain water harvesting structure (Tanks) has been designed
considering the average rainfall of 25 mm/day. However the storm water drains
are designed for peak rainfall of 150 mm/hr.

9.12 SOILD WASTE MANAGEMENT PLANT
The garbage and waste generated would be mostly domestic in nature. The
domestic waste generally consists of waste from kitchen, paper waste, wrappings
used for household commodities, bottles, crockery, plastic cans, etc.
This solid waste will be segregated at source as dry and wet garbage. The
residents will be asked to keep two buckets having different colours as
identification marks for dry and wet waste. The wet garbage such as kitchen
waste will be collected in green colour bucket and dry garbage such as plastic,
crockery, etc. will be collected in the black colour bucket.
After collection the wet garbage which is mostly biodegradable will be treated in
Biogas Biofertilizer Plant, while dry garbage will be disposed off for recycling
purpose.

The details of Solid waste generation and its management is given in Chapter 2.
