This quan ntity of ressin is prese ently being g purchassed from market. So, the t firm exp periences an n urgent ne eed of in-ho ouse facility to maintain n the dessired quality level and le evel to redu uce the dependence on n market. All the raw r materia als are easily available indigenouss. Thus therre is no outg go of foreign n exchange e Importss vs. Indigenous produ uction As prod ducts are ch heaper than n imported, due to well establish in nfrastructurre, cheaper manpower, electricity & easilyy availabilitty of raw materials m re educing the e manufactturing cost of productt against imported product. p So o, the majo or portion o of demand will be do omestic market for the e productts. However, the produ ucts have domestic as well as exp port markett. Also most of the raw w materia als are available indigenously. Hen nce the projject is economically via able.

These e involve objective and subje ective asse essment of o the project compo onents, env vironmental attribute es and their interrelatio onship. Main aim of co onducting im mpact asse essment is to t establish h sustaina ability of project p by ensuring e effficient mitig gation mea asures for identified & predicted d impacts s. In doing so, environ nmental con nsequencess must be characterize c ed early in the projectt cycle and accountted for in th he project design with h necessaryy mitigation n actions & measures.

Th he impacts during the e phase are e likely to o occur due e to preparration of sitte, moveme ent of raw material for construction through h vehicless and use of fuel firred machines/equipme ent engage ed in consttruction wo orks. These e activitie es will have impacts on n air enviro onment due to margina al increase in levels off SO2, NOx, SPM an nd VOCs.

To determine the significcance of impacts of pro oposed pro ojects with reference r to o the basseline air qu uality study has been carried c out for various emissions from propo osed projectt as desc cribed below w. i) Proce ess Emissio ons There is no process gas emission fro om the existing plant as well a as from the e proposed d expansion project. ii) Fugittive emissio ons Fugitive e emission in the form m of saw du ust is generrated from the section n of Sanding g, Farming, Size cu utting & Pa atti cutting process off particle board b manu ufacturing.

Another source of fugitive em mission from m existing g unit is the e particulatte emission n from bag gasse storage, handlin ng & transp port.

Thus, it has been n noticed that the impacts i of the water consumption for pro oposed proj oject would almost be e negligib ble and acce eptable. As mentioned in Chapter-2, after proposed projject, the to otal wastew water gene erated from m domesttic activitiess will be sen nt to septic tank/ soakk pit.

On n the con ntrary, no requiremen nt of additio onal land and a the uttilization of existing la and for the e propose ed project ccan be conssidered as a beneficial impact. Furtherr, as the la and is almo ost leveled,, major acttivities of site s prepara ation like le eveling and d grading g are not required.

Similar practices and facilitie es of mate erial storage e & handling have b been propos sed by the e propone ent for the e proposed project. Hence, H the potential of o soil conttamination due to the e materia als is not vissualized to be b considerrable. As men ntioned earrlier, in exissting operation domesstic waste water w is dissposed thro ough septicc tank/ so oak pit sysstem &no in ndustrial wastewater w is generate ed. For pro oposed expansion, the e propone ent has pla anned for an adequate e wastewate er managem ment facilityy. Hence, the t issue off contamination of la and due to wastewate er is not en nvisaged. Solid/ hazard dous waste e generated d from the e evaporato or will be prroperly storred & handlled. Furtherr, the majorr solid wastes from the e propose ed project will not ha ave any po otential of soil contam mination. H Hazardous wastes w like e Evapora ator sludge e, discarded d containerss and used oil will be managed m ass per the guidelines off MoEF/ CPCB and will be stored & dispo osed off thrrough the approved/pe ermitted method by the e authoritties. The prroponent ha as already provided p ha azardous waste storag ge area com mplying with h the requ uirement sitted by MoE EF/ CPCB. Used oil is sold to registered refiner.

Furtherr, the site iss considerably away from the agricultural farrms of the area a as well as loca ality of the a area. Hence, impacts of dusting and noise generation from the construction c n activitie es are not envisaged to o be major & will be inssignificant to consider. Further, the proposed d project developme ent will be done on existing site, Hence, no resettlem ment and re ehabilitation n (R&R) is anticipate ed for the prroposed pro oject. Besidess, impacts on o social en nvironment due to the influx i of peo ople in the project area a as well ass pressurre on loca al settlement/resource es/public am menities re esulting du ue to emp ployment off outsiders is also not n envisage ed as consttruction acttivities will be b done thrrough local contractors s &worke ers.

The trafffic movement would increase aftter the prop posed project. Howeve er, the impa acts on road d networkk will not be e major as the site is well conne ected with state s & natio onal highwa ay network. Besidess, the transportation will be managed with sp pecial transp port vehicle es having hiigh carrying g capacityy to reduce e the freque ency of vehiicle on road d. Hence, th he traffic will not cause e any majorr impact on road ne etworks. Be esides, all basic b amenities & infra astructures are availab ble with the e proximity.

Furtherr, the impro oper storage e and hand dling facilitie es of raw-m materials, prroducts and d fuels may y result in n spillages, contamina ation or acccidents and ultimately damage to the total environment e t includin ng human health. h Con nsidering these, the prrovision of firefighting measures around the e storage e areas have to be pro ovided.
