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
29
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
direction was not observed at Ambernath. Winds from the E-W were
predominant in the winter and the summer season.
3.1.2.3 The months of March, April and May are considered to be representative of
summer season. Monthly mean relative humidity was in the range of 38 - 79% in
the summer season. Wind predominantly blows from E-W sector in summer
season. Wind speed remains in the range of 7.2 km/h for most of the days and a
cloudless sky is observed for 80-85% of the duration during the summer season.
The meteorological data is collected and processed to draw wind-rose as shown
in Fig. 3.1.3. The daily (00-24 hrs) wind-rose in the project region shows the
predominant winds during study period were from E-W sector with
predominant wind 23.91%. There are no significant variations in wind
speed/wind directions. However the wind speed during daytime was relatively

3.3.7.1 A reconnaissance was undertaken to identify sampling locations to
establish baseline status of soil quality in the study area. The area
comes under Coastal plain. Soils are mostly brownish black soil.
3.3.7.2 The study area primarily industrial area. The water table in the delta
region is maximum depth of water level being >1.5 mt below the
ground level.
3.3.7.3 The region is characterized by coastal climate with moderate
temperature and high relative humidity. Average annual rainfall
recorded in the region is 3200 mm, which is received due to southwest
monsoon during June to September. The daily average temperature is

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,

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).

5.ENVIRONMENTALIMPACTSTATEMENT
After the collection of baseline data and subsequent identification and predication of
impact, the following Environmental Impact Statement have been prepared for five
basic environmental components which are likely to be affected or benefited due to
proposed Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd., Unit - 2
5.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
The changes in baseline ambient air quality status with respect to PM
2.5
, PM
10
, SO
2
and
NO
X
are expected to be negligible in the region at the enhanced production of dyes
intermediates production of proposed project by Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt.
Ltd. The levels of air pollutants will not exceed the stipulated standards of Maharashtra
Pollution Control Board (MPCB) in the region. No significant change in ambient air
quality is envisaged. The strengthening of proposed green belt shall further reduce
impact due to proposed activity. The predicted ground level concentration for PM
2.5
,
PM
10
, SO
2
and NO
X
are negligible (less than 1g/m
3
).
5.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Inplant noise level limit 75 dB(A) during daytime 70 dB(A) in the night time. The
current baseline noise levels within impact zone around Monomer Chemical Industries
Pvt. Ltd., varied from 42.8 67.9 dB (A) during daytime and 25.6 -55.6 dB (A) in the
night time. It was observed that noise level near Boiler & Diesel generator were found
to be more than stipulated standards for industrial area where as in impact zone noise
levels were less than the stipulated standards for residential area.
The impact of noise generation from proposed units on the neighboring population is
expected to be insignificant. The noise exposure to the workers shall not exceed the
stipulated limits with proper noise mitigation measures. The increase in noise level due
to transportation activities would be insignificant.
Monomer Chemical Industries Pvt. Ltd. : Environmental Impact Assessment
125
5.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
The physico-chemical parameters of raw water are found to be well within the
prescribed limits. Groundwater quality around project site is below the stipulated limit
except some sampling locations.
The project is based on cleaner technology with minimum generation of
wastewater. The wastewater generated shall be treated to meet the standard stipulated
by CPCB.

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
Approximately 20 CMD Treated effluent proposed to be reuse in the process for
washing activities (Floor washing/ Filter press wash etc..)

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
