3.BASELINEENVIRONMENTALSTATUSANDIDENTIFICATIONOF
IMPACTS
3.1AirEnvironment
The baseline air quality status forms the basis for the assessment of air quality
impacts due to the proposed development activity. Baseline air quality status can be
generated through a well designed air quality monitoring activity. Baseline status
studies of air environment were carried out through reconnaissance survey followed
by air quality surveillance program and micro-meteorological data collection. Micro-
meteorological data is used in the interpretation of baseline status and for studying
air pollution dispersion pattern and prediction of impacts.
3.1.1 Design of ambient air quality monitoring network:
The following criteria were taken into account in designing the ambient air
quality-monitoring network.
Topography/terrain of the study area
Populated areas within the region
Prediction of max concentration & distances of their likely occurrences under
prevailing micro-meteorological conditions
Representation of regional background
Representation of valid cross sectional distribution in down wind direction
Historical wind rose to understand the wind pattern in the area.
Reconnaissance
Reconnaissance survey was undertaken within the study area to collect
information regarding topography of the study area, meteorological features of the area
and other features relevant to the air environment. Reconnaissance survey enables the
selection of sampling sites and design of air quality monitoring network. The criteria
pollutants like PM
2.5, ,
PM
10
, SO
2
and NOx were identified to assess the existing air quality
in the impact zone. The study was conducted for summer season (March 2011 May
2011).
The location of the plant is spread over on area of 16135 sq. mt., at Ambernath,
Thane. The study area was 10 km radial distance from the proposed plant site. The
identified impact zone is covered by wasteland, market places, and other rurally
inhabited localities. Within the study area there are some other big and small industries.
Perrigo API India Limited, Watson Pharma Pvt. Ltd. are the industry prevalent in the
area. Seven ambient air quality- monitoring sites were selected based on the ambient air
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

quality monitoring network design. The distance and bearing of these locations with
respect to the plant site are given in Table 3.1.1 and indicated in Figure 3.1.1.

Methodology for Ambient Air Quality Monitoring

3.1.1.1 The ambient air quality monitoring was carried out in accordance with
guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) and National Ambient Air
Quality Standards (NAAQS) of CPCB dated 18
th
November 2009. Ambient Air
Quality Monitoring (AAQM) was carried out at 7 locations in summer season
considering the criticality of the region.

3.1.1.2 AAQM locations were monitored on 24 hourly average basis for two days in a week as
per guidelines of CPCB and NAAQS. AAQM was carried out at 7 number of locations,
as per presented in CPCB guideline to determine a finer cross-sectional distribution of
air pollution in an industrial developed region.

3.1.1.3 The conventional and project specific parameters such as s particulate matter (PM
2.5,
PM
10
), Sulphur Dioxide (SO
2
) and Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) are monitored. The
sampling location with high volume sampler is shown in Figure 3.1.2.

3.1.1.4 The values for monitored concentrations of various pollutants at all the
monitoring location were processed for different statistical parameters like
arithmetic mean, standard deviation, minimum concentration, maximum
concentration and percentile values. The existing baseline levels in summer
season with respect to PM
2.5
, PM
10
, SO
2
, NOx, are expressed in terms of various
statistical parameters the 98
th
percentile concentration have been compared with
stipulated standards of CPCB as per the National Ambient Air Quality
Standards.

3.1.2 Micro-Meteorology of the Area

3.1.2.1 The study of micro-meteorological conditions of a particular region is of utmost
importance to understand the variations in ambient air quality status in that
region. The prevailing micrometeorology at project site plays a crucial role in
transport and dispersion of air pollutants. The persistence of the predominant
wind direction and wind speed at the project site will decide the direction and
extent of the air pollution impact zone. The principal variables, which affect the
micrometeorology, are horizontal transport and dispersion (average wind speed
and directions), convective transport and vertical mixing (atmospheric stability)
and also topography of the area towards local influences.

3.1.2.2 Climatological Tables of Observatories in India (1951-1980), published by the
India Meteorological Department, were used to obtain historical data for the
region. Ambernath is the nearest weather observatory to the project site.
Temperature varied in the range of 28.89
o
C 31.11
o
C. Annual rainfall varied in
the range of 1850 2130 mm with normal annual rainfall of 1967 mm. The annual
average of rainy days (rainfall above 282.1 mm in a day) was 46.8. The annual
average wind speed was 7.2 km/h. Seasonal variation in predominant wind

3.3.8 Soil Quality
Soil samples were collected from seven locations and subjected to
physical, chemical and microbiological analysis standard methods were
followed for the analysis total seven soil samples were collected around
the Dyes & Dyes Intermediates manufacturing industry Ambernath
locations of villages are depicted in Figure 3.4.1 and summarized in Table
3.4.1.
The international pipette method (Black, 1964) was adopted for
determination of particle size analysis. The textural diagram was
generated using SEE soil class 2.0 version based on United States
Department of Agriculture (ASDA) classification of soils physical
parameters such as bulk density parasite and water holding capacity were
determined by the following KR Box method (Keen and Raczkowski, 921)
The chemical characteristics of soil were determined by preparing soil
extract in distilled water in ratio 1:1 (as per Jackson procedure, 1967)
Organic matter was determined in terms of organic carbon by Walkley &
Black method (1972) fertility status of soil in terms of nitrogen and
phosphorus was determined by extracting soil with KCL (FAO soils
Bulletin, 38/2 Rome) and Olsens method (1954) respectively.
Heavy metals in soil were determined by extracting soil with conc. H
2
SO
4
and conc. HNO
3
followed by analysis on ICP as AAS (APHA, 1995).
The results obtained from analysis are summarized below.
3.3.8.1 Physical Characteristics
Air-dried and sieved samples were used for determination of physical
properties soil. The particle size distribution of soils in terms of percentage
of sand, silt and clay are presented in Table 3.4.2 of particle size
distribution data have been used to classify soil texture through standard
soil texture triangle (Figure 3.4.2).
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
63

The soils at individual locations are classified in different categories of soil
texture, viz. sandy clay loam, slit loam, sandy loam, clayey, and sandy
clay out of which sandy clay loam is predominant.
Bulk density of soil relates to the combined volumes of the solids and pore
spaces soil with a high pare space with loose soiled particles will have
lower bulk density than those that are pore compact and have less pare
space. This is directly related to the movement of air and water through
soil thus affecting the productivity. The bulk density of the soils was
found in the range of 0.8 to 1.7 gm/cm
3
.


Soil porosity is described in terms of air filled pore spaces in indicative of
storage and movement of gases for the inherent moisture and
development of root systems, soil strength etc. The porosity and water
holding capacity were found in the range of 43 % to 88 % and 38 % to 54 %
respectively.
3.3.8.2 Chemical Characteristics
The Chemical parameters selected for determining soil characteristics are:
pH, electrical conductivity, soluble anions and cations, cation exchange
capacity (CEC), exchangeable cations, exchangeable sodium percentage
(ESP), nutrients and organic content as well as heavy metals. The results
obtained for these parameters are presented in Table 3.4.3 to 3.4.9.
PH is an important factor, which indicates the alkaline, acidic and neutral
nature of soil. The pH of the soil in the study area was slightly alkaline in
the range of 7.2 to 8.3. The soluble salts were determined from soil extract
(1:1). The soluble salts were expressed in terms of electrical conductivity
(EC). The EC of the soil samples were in the range of 0.1 to 0.3 ms/cm.
The area receives good rainfall so physical thronged of small particles in
soil due to surface run off and dissolution of minerals is moderate leading
to more conductivity.
Cation Exchange Capacity (CEC) and exchangeable cations were
estimated from the lactates of soil with ammonium acetate and potassium
chloride Exchange able sodium percent (ESP) is calculated using the
relationship
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
64

Exchangeable sodium
ESP= x 100
Cation Exchange Capacity
Cation exchange capacity (CEC) is a consequence of positive electrical
charges in clay and human particles in soil and it is balanced by
adsorption of positively charged counter ions. It is this property that
largely determines the storage capacity of nutrient ions in soil amongst the
exchange able cations, Ca
+2
and Mg
+2
were found in the range of 5.5 to 34.3
meq/l of soil and 0.7 to 38.0 meq/l of soil respectively. Exchangeable
sodium percentage (ESP) was found to vary from 6.6 % to 45.5 % on the
basis of CEC the soil status is divided with respect to its adsorptive
capacity and productivity potential. In general the soil in the region has
low adsorption capacity as evident from the cation exchange capacity,
which was found to be in the range of 24.0 to 75.6 meq/100 gm of soil. The
presences of sodium in exchangeable form may have deleterious effect on
the chemical and physical properties of soil. ESP between 6.6 % and 45.5 %
can be considered as satisfactory. Classification of soils with respect to
cation exchange capacity and its relation with productivity and absorptive
is given in Tables 3.4.5 and 3.4.6.
Organic matters in soils have great importance in relation to its texture
and affect its properties like cohesion\porosity and ion exchange capacity.
It also helps in determining the relation of available nutrients organic
matter which was determined by oxidizing the sample with acidified
potassium dichromate. The percentage of organic matter in the soils was
found in the range of 0.79 % to 5.31 % (Table 3.4.7).
The status of nutrient in soils is judged on the basis of available nitrogen,
phosphorus and total organic matter contents. Available phosphorous was
determined spectrophotometrically where the soil was leached with
sodium bicarbonate and treated with molybdenum blue for colour
development. The nitrogen and phosphorous content of soil in the study
area varied from 37.4 kg/ha to 72.4 kg/ha and 1.9 kg/ha to 67.9 kg/ha
respectively. Soil quality standards as per national bureau of soil sciences
(NBSS) for agricultural activities are shown in Table 3.4.8. Soil samples
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
65

were also analyzed for heavy metals using inductively coupled plasma
optical Emission Spectras copy (ICP OES) levels of metals (mg/100 gm).
The heavy metals like Ag found as traces and was absent in most of the
locations. The contents of heavy metals like Cd, Cr, Co, Cu, Ni, Pb, Mn, Zn
and Fe in the study area were 1.2 to 2.2 mg/100 gm, 5.9 mg/100 gm to 9.1
mg/100 gm, 42.2 mg/100 gm to 82.2 mg/100 gm, 8.9 mg/100 gm to 22.8
mg/100 gm, 5.0 mg/100 gm to 16.2 mg/100 gm, 0.9 mg/100 gm to 10.4
mg/100 gm, 12.2 mg/100 gm to 39.1 mg/100 gm, 11.5 mg/100 gm to 19.5
mg/100 gm and 81.1 to 95.8 mg/100 gm respectively. The fertility quality
is presented in Table 3.4.7 and land use pattern and land cover is
presented in Table 3.4.11 and 3.4.12.
3.3.8.3 Soil Microbiology
Various ecological cycles in the Photosphere depend upon the population
of bacteria, fungi and actinomycetes, which are vital components of land
environment. These micro-organisms help in maintaining the stability of
the land environment Phizobium and Azotobactor are symbiotic and non-
symbiotic nitrogen fixing microorganisms respectively, which improve
soil fertility by fixation of Nitrogen Fungal. Also constitute an important
part of the micro-flora of normal soil they are action in initial stages of
decomposition of plant residues and actively participating in the process
of soil aggregation. The microbiological status of soil in study area is
present in Table 3.4.10.
3.3.8.4 Solid/Hazardous Wastes
The major sources of hazardous waste generation at Monomer Ambernath
are from ETP. Its treatment, mode of disposal and waste category as per
Hazardous waste (Management & Handling rules) amended 2008. List of

3.5Ecological&BiologicalEnvironment

Description of ecological environment accompanied with possible important
delineation is essential to impact assessment process. Biological environment
has been defined as all plants & 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 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 aversively or positively due to the proposed activities.
The study area includes the core region of proposed regional sites for
treatment, processing and scientific landfill for MSW and the adjoining area
of 10 km radius from the periphery of each site. The sampling locations were
selected after the reconnaissance of the whole study area which includes
seven sampling points for the terrestrial vegetation. According to the Biomass
studies (CEE 1997) the sites having most diversified flora have been identified
for quadrant studies and assessment of quality.

3.5.1 Reconnaissance
The reconnaissance revealed that the land around project site is covered
with number of chemical, textiles, bulk drugs Industries. The location of
plot is in notified industrial area. All necessary infrastructures is provided
by MIDC, Govt. of Maharashtra.

3.5.2 Terrestrial Biology
The terrestrial flora and fauna are assessed through following parameters:

3.5.2.1 Flora
Methodology
Biologists and plant ecologists use a number of methods to study vegetation
communities. Most sampling methods are quantitative, which involves
collecting data on numbers of individuals, plant sizes and the amount of space
occupied by target plants. Qualitative methods are also occasionally used to
quickly define a plant community simply by observation.
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
81

The most common quantitative sampling methods are the quadrate method.
The quardrant method allows the user to define a fixed area, called a plot,
within which plant character can be measured. Usually, a rectangular or square
quadrant frame is used to define the sampling area, although a quadrat can
also be an identified are within a site. Although, the exact experimental design
will determine where and how many samples are taken, the procedure always
involves measuring plant character of only those plants inside the quadrat.
Quadrates sampling usually attempts to define plant community characteristics
for an area much larger than the actual area to be studied. Quadrat site will be
representing the entire habitat and that eliminate the human factor.

After reconnaissance site visit, during which quantitative characters were
noted, detailed studies were carried out with the help of quadrants in
representative stretches of vegetation as given in Fig 3.5.3. Three sampling sites
were selected for terrestrial vegetation given in Table 3.5.1.

The vegetation was studied by using standard phyto-sociological methods
devised by J. Braun Blanquet and modified by different workers from time to
time.

The method of study falls under three heads:
i. General description of plant community (Species listing)
ii. Frequency, density and abundance study by quadrat method

Quadrat : Overall 10 quadrates were plotted in the whole study are for terrestrial
vegetation. Structure of a piece of vegetation is determined using quadrat
method which is polled randomly at the selected sites in the places of dense
places with different species. Quadrat was a square area 10 x 10 meters laid
down randomly in the area of study.

Frequency, abundance and density assessment provide multiple levels of
useful information. Frequency indicate the number of sampling units in which a
given species occurs and thus expresses the numerical strength of a species in
the community. Dominance is the relative prevalence of individuals of a species
that results from their numbers and massiveness. The concept of importance
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
82

Value Index (IVI) has been developed to express the dominance and ecological
success of any species. The index was calculated by summing the three relative
values viz; relative frequency, relative density and relative dominance as per the
methods of curtis 19590 and Phillips 19590. The higher value of IVI indicates that
all the available resources are being utilized by that species and left over are
being trapped by another species as the competitors and associate. The high IVI
of a species indicated its dominance and ecological success, in the form of its
better regeneration and greater ecological amplitude.

Following formula were used to calculated quantitative characters :

Frequency = Number of quadrat in which the species occur X 100
Total number of quadrats studied


Abundance = Total No. of individual
Occurrence of quadrats

Density = Total No. of individual
Total No. of quadrats studied

Frequency of species x 100
Relative Frequency = Sum of frequency values of all species


Relative Density = No. of individuals of a species x 100
Total No. of individuals of all species

Relative Dominance = Basal area of species x 100
Total basal area of all species

Importance Value Index (IVI) = Relative Frequency + Relative Density +
Relative Dominance
The main objective of ecological survey is to collect the baseline terrestrial biodiversity
status regarding flora and fauna in the Project Influence Area, (10Km surrounding the project
site).

Macrophyte
Historically, Butcher et al. (1924) were the first persons who recognized the importance of
biological analysis in overall assessment of aquatic environment. Detailed biological knowledge
also helps in the development of lake management policies. The faunal diversity of Indian sub-
continent is very rich, consisting of about 7% of the world fauna and thus is recognized as one
of the hot spot of bio-diversity (Jairajpuri, 1991). To protect and conserve this rich bio-diversity
it is necessary to enlist the bio-diversity of various habitats. Present study is an attempt to
document the macrophyte of the said study area so as to know the present ecological status.
During the study, a total of 129 species were recorded in the Entire study area. These belong to
83 genera and 51 families.

Simpson's Diversity Index:
A community dominated by one or two species is considered to be less diverse than one in
which several different species have a similar abundance.
Simpson's Diversity Index is a measure of diversity which takes into account the number of
species present, as well as the relative abundance of each species. As species richness and
evenness increase, so diversity increases.

Avian Diversity
Birds have been considered as useful biological indicators because they are ecologically
versatile and live in all kinds of habitats as herbivores or carnivores (Jarvinen and
Vaisanen, 1979). The aquatic avifauna is susceptible to the changes in wetlands;
similarly they are more conspicuous in an ecosystem and hence can be easily observed
for monitoring the change taking place (Morrison, 1986). Some birds are migratory,
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
96

which are responsible for fluctuations in the population of birds that occur during
different seasons of the year, which may help to know whether area is normal or getting
polluted, as total absence of birds from any area may be considered as pollution
indication (Borale et al., 1994).
During the present investigation, 30 bird species including aquatic and non aquatic birds were
recorded. The present study revealed presence of 30 species of birds belonging to 19 families
and 26 generas. Out of these, 22 species were resident, 04 migrant, 03local migrants species
were observed. Individuals of family Ardeidae were found to be dominant, representing 05
species. Most of the bird species were observed in winter due to more food availability and
favorable climatic conditions for nesting and roosting. The density and diversity of water birds
are influenced by rainfall, temperature, humidity and cloudiness (Gross-custard, 1985).

3.6SocioEconomicEnvironment
The socio-economic component of environment with reference to human interest,
aesthetics and cultural attributes needs to be studied while delineating
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) for achieving desired target without
impairing the quality of life. In order to carry out such studies information on
issues such as effect on income and employment, life style, infrastructural
facilities have been considered to evaluate quality of life.
Baseline data on socio-economic parameters such as demography is generated
based on District Census Handbook (2001).

3.5.3 Baseline Status surveyed in the Study Area
Demographic data such as number of households, population and
community structure of the villages surveyed, are presented in Table
3.6.1. The following observations have been made based on the
demographic information from District Census Handbook (soft copy
2011). The villages surveyed for socioeconomic study are presented in fig.
3.6.1. The study area comprises villages from Ambernath.

3.5.4 Demographic Structure
The total population of the study area is 45,240.
Literacy rate is 71% which is similar to state average 73%.
The sex ratio is 905 females per thousand males.
Scheduled Caste & Scheduled Tribal population constitutes 2.11 & 0.09
% of the total population respectively which is too low.
The employment rate is 88 which are similar to the state average %.

3.5.5 Infrastructural Set up
The data on infrastructural set up is presented in the3.6.2 and the
observations made during the study period are as follows:
All most all the villages of the study area have educational facilities in
the terms of primary & middle school. Dwarli, katrap, Morivali,
Jambhul villages have schooling facility up to 10
th
class.
MIDC water supply is the only drinking water source for the villagers.
Primary health center (PHC) is exists at Additional Ambernath,
however sub center is available at Ambernath
Bus service is available in almost all the villages

102

Electricity is available in almost all of the village in the study area

3.5.6 Health Status
The data on morbidity pattern of the study area were collected from Rural
medical dispensary. During rainy season the frequency of malarial
infection is high which is due to the stagnation of water in the water
logging areas.

3.5.7 Economic Resource Base
The study area is hilly. The economy of the study area is not agriculture
dominant. The Employment pattern of the study area is presented in FIG.
3.6.1. which depicts that approximately 8 % of the workers are engaged in
agricultural and its allied activities and 90% people are involved in the
activities like trade & commerce, construction etc.
3.5.8 Cultural and Aesthetic Attributes
No significant archaeological setup or historical monuments are present in
the study area.
Socio economic survey
Socio economic survey was undertaken in the 5 villages of the study area
to collect information on awareness & opinion of the local population
about the proposed expansion of project. The survey was undertaken to
estimate quality of life (QOL) of the people with the help of predesigned
set of questionnaires. The survey refers to adult, males, females, on a
proportional, stratified and random sampling basis.
The observations made during survey are:
o Educational facilities are limited to primary & middle school & in
some of the villages these are extended to Higher secondary.
o The private, Govt. buses & personnel transport are the only mode
of transportation in the area.
o The terrain is hilly and the road conditions are very bad during
rainy season except road which comes under MIDC perview.
o Very Low agriculture related activities are going on during
mansoon. Only rainfed crops are grown on hilly terrain.

3.5.9 Awareness & opinion of the people
The people are well aware about the Additional MIDC zone. Nobody is
against the industries The localites opined that all the companies should
carry out activity to control pollutions similarly to that of MONOMER
CHEMICAL INDUSTRIES PVT. LTD. so that the environment they live
will not be damaged.

Community Development Activities by Monomer
As a good gesture towards the community M/s. Monomer Chemical
Industries Pvt. Ltd. Will help the near by community financially for
education as will as for cultural upliftment.

3.5.10 Quality of Life

Quality of life is the function of the objective conditions and subjective
attitudes involving defined area of concern. The Objective conditions
are defined as numerically measurable artifacts of a physical event,
sociological event or economic event. Objective conditions may be defined
as any number, which stands for a given quality of variable of interest so
long as it is independent of subjective opinion. Subjective attitude is
primarily concerned with affective and cognitive dimensions. It is
especially concerned with how aspects of cognition vary with variation in
objective conditions.
Once objective measures are obtained for each factor they are transformed
to a normal scale varying from 0 to 1 (value function curve) in which zero
corresponds to the lowest and 1 to the highest. The weights are assigned
to each factor by pair wise comparison technique by the experts group
based on the secondary data and general observations.
For each objective measure, a corresponding subjective measure is
developed for each individual factor. Again, the 0 and 1 scale (value
function curve) is used. Weights are assigned to each factor using ranked-
pairwise comparison technique.

The socio-economic indicators for QOL Assessment are:
Employment and working conditions, Income
Housing
Food
Clothing
Water supply and Sanitation
Health
Energy
Transportation and Communication
Education
Environment and Pollution
Recreation
Social security
Human rights
For evaluation of quality of life, subjective and objective QOL indices have
been estimated. Cumulative QOL index is an average of subjective and
objective QOL indices. The index values for individual socio-economic
indicator are calculated as follows:

3.6 Identification of Impacts
The major element involved in the process of environmental impact
assessment is identification of impacts as it leads to other elements such as
quantification and evaluation of impacts. Although, in general, character of
impacts have been identified while describing existing environmental status,
it is necessary at this stage to identify the critical likely impacts. for various
components of environment, in the context of regional scenario.
Various techniques are available for identification of impacts. In the present
case for the activities related to the Dyes & Dyes Intermediate Industry,
Monomer Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. Adaptation of "Network Method" which
involves understanding of cause-condition-effect relationship between an
activity and environmental parameters for identification of impacts has been
found to be most appropriate methodology.

The detailed list of activities and actions described earlier in this report have
been taken into consideration for generation of cause-condition-effect
networks (i.e. chains of events) in recognizing the series of impacts that
would be triggered by the proposed activity.
The method accounts for the project activity and identifies the types of
impacts, which would initially occur. The next step related to analysis of each
impact and identifies the secondary and tertiary impacts, which are induced
as a result. This process is repeated until all possible impacts are identified.

4.PREDICTIONOFIMPACTS
Prediction of Impacts is the most important component in environmental impact
assessment process. Several mathematical/statistical techniques and methodologies are
available for predicting impacts due to developmental activities on physico-ecological
and socio-economic environment. The results obtained from predictions are
superimposed over the baseline (pre-project) status of environmental quality to derive
the ultimate (post-project) scenario of environmental conditions. The quantitative
prediction of impacts is also essential to delineate pragmatic environmental
management plan (pollution control measures) for implementation during and after the
commissioning of proposed activities for minimizing the adverse impacts on
environmental quality.
Mathematical models are the best tools to quantitatively describe cause-condition-effect
relationships between sources of pollution and different components of environment. In
case, mathematical models are either not available or it is not possible to
identify/validate models for a particular situation, predictions are arrived at through
available scientific knowledge and judgments.
4.1 AirEnvironment
The impacts on air environment from Synthetic Organic dyes & Intermediate
manufacturing facility depend on various factors like production capacity, types of
processes involved, type of raw material used, control technology in use and operation
& maintenance. Apart from the above, there will be other activities associated with any
industrial project, viz. transportation of raw materials and finished products, storage
facilities and material handling within the plant premises which may contribute
significantly to air pollution. Generally, dye intermediate project comprises besides
process units several onsite and offsite facilities, viz. storage of tank farms as primary
feedstock and other organic liquid chemicals, intermediates and marketable products
etc.
The impacts on air environment from any industrial project are also governed by terrain
conditions and the prevailing micro-meteorological conditions in the project region.
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
111

The relative locations of various process units and associated stacks position have been
shown in plant layout (Fig. 4.1.1).
3.1.1 Plant Emissions
The emissions from point sources at dye & dye intermediate manufacturing facility
are very important for impact assessment as the emissions from these sources are
comparatively large in quantities, continuous in nature and released at higher
elevations above ground level. The impacts on air environment from stacks depend
on the type of fuel used and may extend to far distances depending on
meteorological conditions. The fugitive emissions are generally less in quantity and
they are released relatively closer to ground level which cause impact to very
limited distances (about 1-3 Km).
Amongst the continuous point source emissions, SO
2
will be of prime concern as it is
emitted depending on the type of fuel used and followed by emission of Oxides of
Nitrogen (NOx), which also depends on type of fuel (solid/liquid/gas) and the rate
of fuel combustion.

4.1.1.1 Emissions from Proposed Units
In the proposed project, PM
2.5
, RSPM-PM
10
, NOx and SO
2
will be major air pollutants
from fuel burning units, as combination of fuel will be used. Besides small quantities of
particulates, Cl
2
, and HCl, will be released from stacks. The major stack emission
sources in the proposed dye and dye intermediate facility are DG stack & combine stack
of Boiler and Thermopac. Fuels proposed to be used include solid, liquid and gaseous.
Emissions from new unit along with stack parameters are presented in Table 4.1.1.
The major component of fugitive emissions especially hydrogen chlorides are
contributed by storage tanks at any tank farm where hydrochloric acid are stored
through evaporation / breathing losses. There are storage tanks proposed in project.
Due care will be taken in designing of storage facilities at each stage to minimize the
fugitive emissions. Storage tanks should be provided with proper dykes for safety. The
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
112

storage capacity of individual tanks varies from 10Kl to 15 Kl. The proposed tanks are
designed with cylindrical fixed roof and provided with scrubbing vents, accordingly
the fugitive emission from storage tanks are expected to be negligible including the
resultant impacts on air environment.
Truck movements in dyes and dye intermediate manufacturing facility are not
significant and therefore the emissions from truck movements are considered
insignificant.
4.2 NoiseEnvironment
4.2.1 Noise Levels due to Propose Project
The proposed project is synthetic organic dye & dye intermediate plant for the
production of 2100 MT/A . The cumulative noise level at a particular location within
the study area due to noise sources can be computed by using the following equation:
r
2
Lp
2
= Lp
1
- 20 log ---- - Ae
1,2

r

Where,
Lp

respectively from the
source and Ae
1,2
is the excess attenuation along the path r

, due to environmental
absorption, scattering and other shielding effects.
Total noise levels L
p
(Total) due to all sources can be determined as follows:
L

, are the noise levels at a sampling point due to sources A, B, C, etc.
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
113

4.2.2 Noise Due to Transportation
The equivalent noise level due to traffic is estimated using FHWA noise model,
as follows:
Leq(h)i = Lo
e
+ 10 Log (Ni/ Si Ti) + 10 Log (15/D)
(1+a)
+ So-13
where,
Leq(h)i = Leq at hour h for ith vehicle type
Loe = Reference mean energy level for ith vehicle type
Ni = Number of i type vehicle passing during time T
Si = Average speed for the ith vehicles type in Km/hr
T = Duration for which Leq is desired
D = perpendicular distance in meters from centerline of the traffic lane to
the location
a = Factor relating to absorption characteristics of ground cover between
the roadway and the observer
So = Shielding factor
Noise levels for light, medium and heavy vehicles on the roads are calculated
using the above model and cumulative effect is computed using the following model :
Leq (Total) = 10 Log (10
Leq L/10
+ 10
Leq M/10
+ 10
Leq H/10
)
where Leq
L
, Leq
M
, Leq
H
are equivalent noise levels for light, medium and
heavy vehicles respectively.
The area specially industrial zone is heavily affected by transportation of
highly loaded vehicles. The city buses, trucks, lorries, tankers and Public transport to
nearby places is mainly through this route. Major contribution during morning and
evening hours is from the two wheelers. A traffic load of around 250 heavy, 550
medium and 200 light vehicles were observed in this area during morning & evening
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
114

peak hour. The equivalent noise level due to increased traffic at the Monomer Chemical
Industries Pvt Ltd (Unit 2 ), Gate is predicted to be 72.0 dBA.
4.2.3 Impact of Noise on Occupational Health
Equivalent sound pressure level (Leq) averaged over 8 hours is used to
describe noise exposure in work place environment. The damage risk criteria for
hearing as enforced by CPCB and OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health
Administration) stipulate that the noise levels up to 90 dBA are acceptable for 8 hour
exposure per day.
These noise sources include turbo-generators, air compressors, feed pumps,
condensate pumps, reflux pumps, recycle pumps, diluent pumps, tempering pumps, air
blowers, I.D. Fans, cooling towers etc. It is observed that noise levels inside the process
units will be exceed 74 dBA because major noise sources listed in these plant units.
However, exposure to noise to individual workers will be below 80 dBA (for 8 hours
shift) because of use of earmuffs and noise-insulated cabins.
The workers will be exposed to these levels for a short duration and mostly
spend the remaining time in Control Room Cabins.
4.2.4 Impact on Community
The community level impact of noise is predicted as equivalent noise level during
daytime (6.00 am to 9.00 pm) and during night time (9.00 pm. to 6.00 am). A 10 dB(A)
penalty factor is added to L
eq
during night time for computing equivalent noise level
during day and night (24 hourly average). This penalty is added to account for the fact
that noise during night (sleeping) time is judged to be more annoying than the same
noise level during daytime. Equivalent noise levels for day-night are used to describe
community noise exposure.

The cumulative impact of all noise sources at the boundary wall is predicted in the
range of 40-50 dB(A). After superimposing the predicted noise level over the baseline
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
115

status at the nearest compound wall (250 m) and beyond the effective increase would be
only 5.010.0 dBA. It is estimated that the noise level at the nearest village (residential),
are well within the stipulated standards.
4.3 WaterEnvironment
The projected water requirement for the dyes & dye intermediate manufacturing facility
is 111.00 m
3
/day. The water requirement of the dyes & dye intermediate manufacturing
facility is given in Table 4.3.1.

Due to the proposed project, the wastewater quantity emanating from the process
facilities will be 90.00 m
3
/day. The wastewater which is generated due to
manufacturing process treated in the effluent treatment plants. The treated water will
be reused for gardening, washing & flushing.
The expected characteristics of treated effluent outlet are presented in Table 4.3.2.
4.4 LandEnvironment
The total 16135.00 Sq. mtr area acquired for the proposed new plant units. As per
the results obtained from baseline status of land cover through soil samples analysis,
the soil in the major portion of land identified for whole facility is effected and not
suitable for agriculture (low fertile) purpose. Therefore no prime agricultural area
will be converted to industrial use. The progressive greenbelt development is
expected to improve the fertility of soil and prevent top soil erosion. As such there
will be no adverse impact on land from proposed project.
There are no notified sensitive receivers existing within 10 km radial distance of
proposed project site.
There will be hazardous waste generation from proposed synthetic organic dye &
dye intermediate production. The industry has Efficient Hazardous Waste
Management practices in compliance to the hazardous waste (Management &
Handling) Amendment Rules, 2008. Therefore, the quantity of hazardous wastes
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
116

would be handled in the similar manner. The list of hazardous waste, which would
be generated, quantity of generation, treatment and disposal is represented in Table
4.4.1.
4.5BiologicalEnvironment
Most of the reserved forest area is on the West and South of the monomer chemical
Industries complex. East-west and West being the most prevalent wind direction, no
adverse impact on reserve forest is predicted due to air pollutants from Monomer.
The liquid wastes will be generated during post commissioning phase of the
proposed dye & dyes intermediate Industry will be treated by conventional method
so as to meet the stipulated standards. The resultant effluent, after discharge to the
CETP for further treatment.
4.6SocioEconomicEnvironment
The issues such as land acquisition, compensation and rehabilitation are not involved as
the proposed project would be taken in the Industrial zone only. Critically analysing the
baseline status of the socio-economic profile and visualising the scenario with the
proposed project, the impacts of the project would be of varied nature. Prediction of the
qualitative impacts and socio-economic environment is presented in Table 4.6.1.
There will be certain critical impacts on socio-economic environment due to:
Immigration of population from nearby areas for jobs Strain on the existing
infrastructure
Positive Impacts
Increase in infrastructural resources due to the proposed project by way of transport
and communication and other basic requirements. The direct and indirect employment
opportunities likely to be generated due to proposed activities for local people. The
proposed project is expected to generate indirect employment opportunities due to
increased product handling and transportation, which will result in beneficial impacts.
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
117

In addition to the opportunity of getting employment as construction labours, the local
population would also have employment opportunities in related services activities like
commercial establishment, small contracts and supply of construction materials for
building and ancillary infrastructure etc. consequently, this may lead to economic
upliftment of the area.
With increase in migration of the population from the other parts of the state there is a chance
of dilution of ethnic culture in the region. People located in the project area and in close
vicinity, shall enjoy positive changes in life style.
The project is not going to influence the existing traditional agricultural practices. It may help
to improve agricultural production by way of providing additional income to the farmers
from supplementary sources.
There will not be any stress on existing local infrastructure facilities, as the number of
persons proposed to be directly employed by Monomer will be marginal. A varied
range of products produced by M/s Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd.,

Negative Impacts
If proper sanitation facilities are not provided during production activities it may cause
unhealthy atmosphere in the area.
However, the local inhabitants are not against the projects, provided their demands for
Infrastructural improvement and job opportunities are met by the management.
If not provided proper disposal of waste generated by the new facility causes hazards
on surrounding area.

6.ENVIRONMENTALMANAGEMENTPLAN
Impact Assessment helps in identifying potentially damaging aspects of a proposed
project. Based on the finding of the impact assessment, Environment Management Plan
is devised to minimize adverse impacts and enumerated various steps to be taken for
improvement of the environment.
Environment Management Plan (EMP) is the key to ensure a safe and clean
environment. A project may have identified proper mitigation measures but without a
management plan to execute it, the desired results may not be obtained. The
Environment Management Plan envisages proper implementation of mitigation
measures to reduce the adverse impacts arising out of the project activities.
Some of the major objectives of the EMP are:
Ensure the project implementation with minimal impacts on all environment
attributes
Minimize the impacts on socio- economic indicators of the local and adjoining
regions
Maintain the higest level of readiness for meting the needs of any deviation in
sustainability practices
Systematic implementation with adequate manpower, budget and action plan for
EMP
Use EMP to demonstrate the effectiveness of its workability along with the
project proponents commitment.

RECYCLE & REUSE OF TREATED WATER AND WASTE MINIMIZATION

E.T.P. TREATMENT SCHEME--100 CMD CAPACITY
A] OIL & GREASE TRAP:
This unit shall be designed to subsidize velocities and to trap the heavy solids, floating
matter and oil. Down flow arrangement shall be provided to trap the floating oil. The
effluent enters in the first compartment and upward due to up flow (top opening) and
down ward in the second compartment due to down flow arrangement (bottom
opening). The mechanical belt type skimmer is proposed to install to remove out
floating oil with the help of skimmer. Mechanical oil skimmer skims off the floating oil.
The oil and grease and floating matter free effluent will be then allowed to enter the
underground collection cum neutralisation tanks.
B] COLLECTION CUM NEUTRALIZATION TANKS (Effluent Collection Sumps):
Two tanks are proposed to facilitate fill and draw operation. After filling one, another
tank shall be utilize for receiving by opening the inlet valve V2 of collection tank and
close another valve V1 of first collection tank. The pH of the incoming effluent must
checked on pH meter and pH paper and adjusted to make it neutral. As most efficient
digestion occurs at neutral pH, it is necessary to neutralize the incoming water to pH of
7. For flocculation the pH is adjusted in the range of 8.5 to 9 and ferric Alum solution
added to make is neutral i.e. 7 pH. Here at this stage. Equalisation minimises hour-to-
hour variations in wastewater flow and composition, and prevents shock loads from
upsetting the downstream process. It is proposed that both the tanks will be equipped
with air distribution system and must be kept in continuous operation. After
neutralisation the neutralised effluent shall be oxidise further with help of Ozone by
circulating the effluent through venturi of ozonator. The system shall be operated for
minimum 1 hr for proper mixing.


Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
131

C] OZONATOR:
Ozonator is powerfull oxidant. Inbuilt oxygen generator produces O
3
.This process is
carried out by an electric discharge field. An ozonation system includes passing dry,
clean air through a high voltage electric discharge. The water shall be passed through a
venturi throat which creates a vacuum and pulls the ozone gas into the effluent or the
air is then bubbled up through the water being treated. The ozone reacts with metals to
create insoluble metal oxides. The oxygen can be pass two different venture at a time.
The same ozonator shall be used to oxidize the neutralized raw effluent if required in
case effluent colour is very dark.
D.] CHEMICAL PREPARATION TANKS:
Lime and FeSO
4
and polyelectrolyte preparation systems shall be used in the primary
process. Lime & FeSO4 or HCL shall be used for neutralisation of effluent. 10 % lime
solution and 10 % Ferrous sulphate shall be prepared while Polyelectrolyte is prepared
in Polyelectrolyte tank with 1 % concentration. Polyelectrolyte shall be used here as a
flocculent. The rate and dosing will vary on the basis of conc. of raw effluent and results
of treatability studies will helps us to reduce the consumption of chemical for effluent
treatment. This shall be used only during failure of electro precipitator unit.
E] ELECTRO PRECIPITATOR UNIT:
The neutralized effluent pass with consistency rate with help of effluent transfer pump.
EP unit shall be installed in the first chamber of flash mixer. During transfer of effluent
a current of low voltage shall be passed with help of E.P. Due to passing of low voltage
current, effluent shall gets precipitated and mixes in the FM and overflows through first
launder of primary settler and enter into settling tank.
F.] SETTLING TANK NO 1 & NO 2:
The effluent shall enter settling tank and the sludge gets settled in the hopper bottom of
the unit. Sludge generated shall be transferred to the sludge tank. Supernatant
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
132

overflows through outer launder and enters into the flash mixer of the second settler
settling tank 2. The settled sludge shall drained into the sludge tank by opening of the
bottom valve till the sludge free water comes out and finally slurry from sludge tank is
feed to filter press with help of sludge feed pump for dewatering. In the F.M of settling
tank no. 2, poly dosing (Micro Plus) is given to the effluent to enhance the quality of
out going effluent & removal of colour. It shall be mixed with effluent and overflow in
the settler II. The slurry or mixed liquor settles at the hopper bottom. The settle sludge
drain to sludge collection tank & final slurry feed to Filter Press for dewatering.
G.] AERATION TANK:
The neutralized supernatant allow to enter in the aeration tank for biological
degradation of available organic matter to reduce the remaining BOD and COD
aerobically. Microbial culture shall be added to facilitate the same. The biological
treatment tanks are designed on aeration principle. Here diffused aeration system shall
be provided. It enables the bacteria to act upon the biodegradable matter in the effluent
and reduce the BOD content while the rapid and turbulent movement of the effluent in
the presence of oxygen available from the air, certain amount of COD is also removed. 2
Nos. of tanks are proposed in series.
I.] CLARIFIER
From the aeration tank the treated effluent shall flows to the clarifier. To remove the
biological solids generated clarifier shall be used. The effluent with activated biological
sludge enters the clarifier tank through a pipe to the Center feed well, where it flows
downwards and then outwards to launder. The activated sludge shall settle at the
bottom of the clarifier tank, where it collected in the center cone of clarifier by gravity.
The settled sludge shall be continuously recirculated into the aeration tank for further
oxidation and excess sludge is pumped to the sludge drying beds. The supernatant of
clarifier shall overflow into the collection tank.

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
133

J.] POLISHING TANK
The treated clear effluent from clarifier shall be collected in the polishing tank.
Oxidatation is done over here with the help of ozonator for colour removal. From the
polishing tank effluent shall be pumped to the pressure sand filter at first and then
through activated carbon filter.
K] PRESSURE SAND FILTER (To remove suspended matter)

The effluent from polishing tank shall be pumped to the pressure sand filter. The
filtration takes place in the downward mode. The filter shall be filled with a layer of
graded sand media supported by a layer of graded gravel. The suspended matters in
the effluent are filtered out in this unit; the effluent then flown into the activated carbon
filter. It is necessary to backwash the sand filter every four hours or as and when
required.
L.] ACTIVATED CARBON FILTER: (To absorbed the dissolved organic matter)
The treated and filtered effluent from the pressure sand filter shall flows into the
activated carbon filter. In this unit too, the feed flow shall be in downward mode
through a layer of granular activated carbon filter in which dissolved organics of the
effluent are absorbed. It is necessary to backwash the carbon filter every four hours or
as and when required.
N.] SLUDGE HANDLING AND DISPOSAL:
Waste solids in slurry form are produced due to sedimentation that occurs in settling
tanks, filter press, solids from biological aeration, clarifiers. Total sludge thickening and
dewatering shall be done before they are disposed off. These waste solids from the
slurry shall be collected periodically passed through filter press for dewatering. Then
after drying completely, the sludge shall be collected in sludge storage pit, through
which it proposed to dispose off periodically to CHWTSDF.
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment

7RISKASSESSMENTANDDISASTERMANAGEMENTPLAN
7.1RiskAssessment
The Environmental risks are inherent in operation of any industry, or any human
activity for that matter. Any system failure can lead to disaster.
Risk is posed by (1) Dust in various operational steps and (2) Fuel, which here is in the
form of power and LDO.
Dust is generated in many steps from raw material handling, transfer, heating, cooling,
transporting out and waste treatment. In order to reduce this risk, steps like capturing
the same, conveying through ducts, and controlling by cyclones Arrestors are
attempted. Conveying by smooth internal roads, watering the roads, regular and quick
sweeping and monitoring the efforts, are the minimum actions to be taken.
Fuel can give rise to one Risk, namely Fire. As full fire protection and extinguishing
gadgets are provided, any risk from fuel stands automatically covered. All motors are
kept TEFC (totally enclosed fan cooled). Temperature and Carbon Monoxide control is
undertaken by arranging carbon dioxide correct percent. This minimizes the Risk to a
very great extent.

Vehicles bringing in the materials are run at slow speed. It is neatly tied and
secured to the vehicles. Guards patrol the entire length, throughout day and
night. There is no public traffic here and warning signals are painted on
boards.
For other raw materials, it is a policy to bring the same in small doses and in
closed containers. If sundry raw material comes in bags, hooks and other
sharp equipment is not to be used on bags or unit loads. Cranes, tackles and
forklift trucks are used for unloading and loading.
Before storage all units are to be inspected for cleanliness and for damage.
All bags are to be stacked on pallets. All damaged bags are to be repaired. a
second impermeable bag which would be sealed properly and kept
separately for use.

Dyke walls, smooth sloping floors provided around storage tanks.

7.1.1 Stocking at work place, loading and maintenance of floor area
The raw materials are to be placed very near to the feeding point.
House keeping is most important of all dust control methods.
Simply cleaning of all possible emission sources as quickly as possible.

7.1.2 Work Environment
Dust and Heat free work environment is maintained in view of workers safety, Health
and Hygiene. The efforts taken in this respect are

# Source Attenuation by
1. Plant Avoided by adopting good foundation, good alignment,
well lubricated.
2. Generators Fitted enclosure and tall stack
3. Vibrations Proper sturdy foundation provided for all the machines

Risk assessment for Monomer Industries Pvt. Ltd.
Risk assessment of following product
Introduction
A risk assessment can help you organise and manage risks in three stages:
1. Identifying underlining hazards
2. logically determining the risk of harm
3. Considering what could be done to reduce or eliminate that risk
A main principle of risk assessments is they should take place before any changes are
made. Risks should be assessed and control measures put into action before new work
is introduced or systems are changed. The process should influence budgets and
allocation of resources, rather than being an afterthought when the decisions have
already been made.

Risk assessment overview

The regulation of tasks in schools and services means mainly managers are responsible
for ensuring risk assessments are in place. They must ensure suitable and sufficient risk
assessments are carried out and regularly reviewed, and that records are kept for work
in their areas of responsibility.
Risk assessments must be carried out for all work that includes significant risks.
Every two years as a minimum
Immediately following a serious incident or where there is reason to suspect it is no
longer valid.

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
154

Protective and preventative measures
Control measures can be preventative (to prevent the hazard arising in the first place) or
protective (to protect employees from existing hazards). Of course, measures identified
in the risk assessment must be put into action if the process is to have any value.
The choice of control should be guided by the hierarchy of risk control principles:
1. Elimination
2. Substitution
3. Isolation
4. Reduction
5. Information, instruction, training and supervision
6. Personal protective equipment.
In the event of an accident or incident, the relevant risk assessments will be scrutinized.
Identify common assessments, allowing best practice to be shared through a consistent
approach and easy exchange of information
Highlight areas that still require assessment
Highlight assessments that are due for review
Some of these specific risks may be included in a general risk assessment, for example
manual handling and fire may be identified in a general office risk assessment.

The Hierarchy of control
Control measures identified by the risk assessment, whether protective or preventative,
must be implemented in line with the following hierarchy of control. In many cases a
combination of control measures will be needed.

Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
156

Elimination - is it possible to avoid the risk altogether? (eg. requesting a delivery
service to an office instead of reception to prevent staff from manual handling.)
Substitution - change the way you do the work, but take care not to introduce new
risks (eg. using a safer chemical).
Isolation - combat risks at the source and prevent access to the hazard (eg. guarding
machinery).
Reduction - reduce the number of employees at risk or reduce the extent of exposure.
Use information (written procedures, safe systems of work), instruction, training
and supervision - ensure employees understand what they must do and when, how
they must do it and what activities are prohibited.
Use personal protective equipment, but only as the last resort and only after all other
measures have been implemented.

7.2DISASTERMANAGEMENTPLAN
Disaster Management Plan (DMP) will consider all the factors responsible for
management of any small or big disaster. Emergency prevention through good design,
operation, maintenance and inspection are essential to reduce the probability of
occurance.However, certain operation & practices may lead to unwarranted situation
wherein disaster scenario can emerge. The DMP, therefore, addresses to mitigate the
effects of such situation with a view to bring restoration of normality at the earliest.
The overall objective e of a disaster management plan is to make use of the combined
resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following:
To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it.
To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property.
Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
Safeguard other people, outside the project boundary;
Evacuated people to safe areas;
Inform and collaborate with statutory local and state authorities;
Provide credible information to news media;
Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;
Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry
into the cause and circumstances of the emergency;
Investigate and take steps to prevent recurrences of similar incidents.
The DMP, therefore need to be related to the identification of sources from which
hazards can arise and the maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the
concerned area.
The plan takes into accounts the maximum credible loss scenario. The actions that can
successfully mitigate the effects of losses/ emergency need to be planned in a way that
it would require less effort and resources to control and tackle emergencies.

duties. The security office at the gate shall be utilized as standby. The emergency
response and coordination centre will be the focal point in case of an emergency from
where the overall operations to handle the emergency are directed and coordinated. It
will be located outside the area of potential hazardous and easily approachable.
The emergency control Centre should have the following resources available:
Copies of the DMP
Layout plan of the complex
Information regarding safety equipment, fire fighting material

Fire brigade, hospitals etc.
Personal protective equipment
First- Aid kit
Antidots Kit
Communication equipment- internal and external telephone and other
Communication equipment
Requisite stationary items
Personnel to act as messengers.
In Addition to many of the above measures an attempt will be made to add any site
specific steps %& manpower based instruction. It should be in multiple languages
including Marathi & Hindi. The communication equipment is checked out
periodically to ensure that they are functional. The ERCC should be capable of being
activated within a few minutes upon declaration of an emergency.
7.1.5.6 Medical & Related Resources
The medical management for the possible emergency situations essentially consists of
treatment for burns & maybe some asphyxiation cases. They should cause burns
injuries. Materials safety data sheets and other relevant information would also be
available at the facility to enable ready treatment of any casualty, should the
unfortunate need arise. It is also proposed to circulate any import health and toxicology
material available through the latest research to all doctors & medical professionals.
7.1.5.7 Response Evaluation ,Testing & Updating of the plan
Formulation of a Disaster Management Plan cannot possible be an itself. It needs to
be tested 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 for future; hence, it must be reviewed at periodic intervals.
He plan should be also reviewed and updated when:
Major alteration or extension of plant is carried out.
Major change in habitation or land use of the neighborhood takes place.

Important telephone number used altered, facilities are change.
7.1.5.8 Mock Drills & Awareness
Mock drills activating the Disaster preparedness plan will be conducted periodically for
ensuring its efficiency during emergency as well as for refinement and updation. These
drills based on the plan will help achieve its objectives. The Emergency Response
coordination Centre shall be the main coordinator for making people aware of the
situation and emergency condition response.
ETCC will also have mobile command post for immediate movement within the lane
boundary or any other situation.
7.2 Off-site Emergency Plan
It is integral to the overall hazard and risk management due to plant facilities operation.
Off-site plan addresses all issues which can have impact out-site of the site. Off-site
Emergency plane has many components which need to be in place for effective plan
7.2.1 Organization: The organizational structure requires details of command
structure, Warning system, implementation procedures, emergency control
centers, In addition it also needs names & appointments of emergency
coordinator along with other related key personnel.
7.2.2 Communications: The communication part warrants the complete identification
of Personnel involved. Communication centre, call signs network and list of
telephone numbers of all concerned. The clarity of communication is key to
effective off- site emergency plan.
7.2.3 Specialized knowledge and Information: Details of specialist bodies, firms and
People whose expertise may be required shall be maintained. In addition to
expert list, detail of all hazardous substances stored or processed at the site and a
summery of the risk associated with them shall be maintained.
7.2.4 Voluntary organizations & NGOs: A complete list of details of organizers,
Telephone numbers, resource availability who are in the vicinity will need to be
maintained.
7.2.5 Meteorological information: Weather condition prevailing at the time & weather
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
184

Forecasts should be maintained at the site for its possible use in forecasting episodes
& climate analysis.
7.2.6 Humanitarian arrangements: Transport, evacuation centers, emergency feeding
Treatment of injured, first aid, antidote , ambulances, temporary mortuaries
relate information shall be also maintained at ERCC.
7.2.7 Public Information: Arrangement for public interference and communication
shall be made to deal with the media of all kinds. This facility will also be useful
for relatives, nearby people of any concerned person. These arrangements will
also facilities for collecting information on the causes of the emergency; as also
reviewing the efficiency & effectiveness of all emergency plans.
7.2.8 Role of the Emergency Co-coordinating Officers: The various emergency
services should be coordinated by an emergency co coordinating officer (ECO),
who will be designated by the District collector. The ECO should liaise closely
with the site controller. Again, depending on local arrangement, for very severe
incident with major prolonged off-site consequences, the external control can be
passed on to a senior local authority administrator or even an administrator
appointed by the central or state government.

7.2.9 Role of the implementing Authority: The duty to prepare the off-site plan lies
with implementing authorities. The appointed person will carry out his duty in
preparing for a whole range of different emergencies within their jurisdiction
area. The responsible person will coordinate to obtain the information to provide
the basis for the plan. This liaison should ensure that the plan is continually up
dated and communicated to all stake holders.
It will be the responsibility of the appointed person by implementing authority (also
called emergency planning officer, EPC) to ensure that all those organizations. This will
be involved off site in handling the emergency, know of their roles and responsibility.
Sufficient staff and appropriates equipment arrangement shall be responsibility of
respective person. Rehearsals for off-site plans should be organized by the EPC.
7.13.10 Role of Police: Formal duties of the police during an emergency include
protecting life & property & controlling traffic movements. Their functions should
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
185

include controlling by standers, evacuating the public, identifying any serious
problems, and informing all concerned.
7.13.11Role of Fire Authorities: The control of a fire should normally be the
responsibility of the senior fire bridge officer who would take over the handling of the
fire from the site controller on arrival at the site. The senior fire bridge officer should
also have similar responsibility for other events, such as explosions and toxic release
Fire authorities in the region should be apprised about the location of all stores of
flammable materials, water & foam supply points, and fire- fighting equipment. They
should be involved in on site emergency rehearsals both as participates and on
occasion, as observers of exercises involving on-site personnel.

7.13.12Role of Health Authorities: Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons,
hospitals, Ambulances and similar other persons/institutions should have a vital part
to play following a major accident & they should form an integral part of the emergency
plan. Major off-site incidents are likely to require medical equipment & facilities in
addition to those available locally, and a medical mutual aid scheme should exist to
enable the assistance of neighboring authorities to be obtained in the event of an
emergency.

7.13.13 Role of Government Safety Authority: This will be the factory inspectorate
available in the region. Inspectors are likely to want to satisfy themselves that the
organization responsible for producing the off-site plan has made adequate
arrangements for handling exigencies of all types including major emergencies. They
may see well documented procedures & evidence of exercise undertaken to test the
plan. In the event of accidents, local arrangements regarding the role of the factory &
electrical inspector will apply. These may very from keeping a watch to a close
involvement in advising on operations. While the facility will activate the DMP & take
necessary measures & arrange to extend all medical & security support, the factor/
electrical inspectorate may be the external agency with resources to carry out
appropriate tests to assess the impact.
