ANAD:, GUJARAT CHAPTER – 3 BASELINE ENVIRONMENTAL SETTING 3.1 INTRODUCTION To assess environmental impacts from proposed project at a specific location it is essential to monitor the environment quality prevailing in the surrounding area prior to implementation of the proposed project. The environment status within the study area could be used for identification of significant environmental issues to be addressed in the impact assessment study. The impact from an existing industrial project on its surrounding environment are mainly regulated by the nature of the pollutants, their quantities discharged to the environment, existing environmental quality, assimilative capacity of the surrounding environment and topography and terrain of the project site (its location) as well as the surrounding area. In order to identify and establish the extent of likely impacts, it is essential to gather information on existing environmental quality with regard to various components of the environment. For collecting the baseline information, primary data were generated wherever possible and the other information was gathered from secondary data sources. For the primary data, study area was selected that included towns and villages within 5 km radius considering the project site as a center. 3.2 MICROMETEOROLOGY OF THE AREA A general description of weather which includes diurnal and seasonal wind pattern and wind direction, humidity etc is necessary to identify those EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

Visual interpretation is carried out based on the image characteristics like tone, size, shape, pattern, texture, location, association, background etc. in conjunction with existing maps/ literature. Preliminary quality check and necessary corrections are carried out for all the maps prepared. All the maps prepared are converted into soft copy by digitization of contours and drainages. In that process editing, labeling, mosaicing, quality checking, data integration etc are done, finally Land use areas are measured in Square Kilometers. 3.7.2 Land use Map Analysis Land use Map Analysis done based on the image color, texture, Tone etc. Following steps are used to analyze the Land use pattern of project site: Collection of IRS LISS IV images and made fused and blended the images for color combinations using Image interpreter-Utilities and Layer stack option available in ERDAS. Identification AOI and made a buffer of 10km radius. Enhance the Fused and blended LISS IV image using the Spatial, Radiometric and Temporal options in ERDAS. Rectified the LISS IV image using Georeferencing technique, Toposheet to get UTM coordinate system. Subset the LISS images and Toposheet using 10Kms buffer AOI. Automatic classifications done for LISS IV images using maximum iterations and number of options in unsupervised classification options. Created the signature file by selecting the more samples of different features with AOI on Unsupervised classification image. CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

Gone through the QC / QA and finalized the data. 3.7.3 Digital Image Classification and maps: Overview of Classifications: Digital Image classification procedures were applied to the mosaiced images of LISS-IV. In order to do a Land use classification of the area that comes under a 10km buffer radius of the study area, IRS-P6 images were used. Since all the data of the study area were georeferenced to UTM 43N WGS84 projection system, the satellite images were also obtained with the same georeferencing from NRSA who provided the GeoTIFFs of the scenes. Before a classification could be performed, however, the satellite images needed to be pre-processed. All the processing and classification of the satellite images were performed in the ERDAS Imagine 9.1 software. The data was delivered in separate bands of 2, 3 and 4. As such, the first step was to stack the data layers together to get a composite. The scenes were then mosaiced together since the study area covered parts of both the scenes. Once a satisfactory mosaic was done whereby the joins were no longer visible and the radiometric resolution of both the scenes matched, the satellite image was then subset using a vector of the 10 kms buffer radius of the study area. This subset of the original images was then run through the unsupervised classification tool of the software to finally create the grouping of classes present in the study area. The data was in two parts, one part taken in 2008 and the other part taken in 2009. The difference in shades in the two parts is due to reflectance changes. The image is in two parts because there was no availability of archival data of two consecutive date of that region. Satellite imagery of the proposed site is shown at Figure no. 3.3. The villages situated within the 10 km radius of the proposed site have been considered for the study of the land use pattern. The land use pattern classification of the study area within 10 km buffers is shown at Figure no. 3.4. CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat 3.9 Ecology of Study Area: 3.9.1 Introduction Khambhat is formerly known as Cambay, is a city and a municipality in Anand district in the Indian state of Gujarat. It was formerly an important trading center, although its harbour has gradually silted up, and the maritime trade has moved elsewhere. Khambhat lies on an alluvial plain at the north end of the Gulf of Khambhat, which is noted for the extreme rise and fall of its tides, which can vary as much as thirty feet in the vicinity of Khambhat. 3.9.2 Study Area Khambhat is located at 22.3°N 72.62°E. It has an average elevation of 8 metres (26 feet). Khambhat has warm & humid climate. It is located on the plains. The land on which Khambhat sits right now is the silt deposited by Mahi River, so Khambhat has got very fertile & wet soil. Soil over here is Coastal Alluvial. The area south of Khambhat is muddy wetlands and then coast line comes. Normally April to June is summer. From July, it rains until September. It has muggy climate for most part of the year except winters. Sometimes Khambhat receives heavy rain. And sometimes surrounding areas gets affected from the floods in Mahi River. October to February is winter. max. average temperature remains 25°c to 30°c and min. average temperature goes until 10°c to 12°c. Summer max. average temperature remains 38°c and minimum remains around 22°c. In summer, wind blows high. Khambhat coast's tides are the highest in the world. It goes high up to 35 feet. The Gulf of Khambhat, (3,120sq.km) is aligned in a north-south orientation. It is marked by the huge interaction of saline and fresh waters, providing it the characteristics of an extended estuarine system. The coastal belt (20km) passes through as many as 6 districts and 19 talukas. The coastal area is about 11,000 sq. km. Extensive mudflats, estuaries and creeks with high regime, large quantities of sediment transport characterize the CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

Birds and animals are also common. 3.10 SOCIO ECONMICS 3.10.1 Introduction This study was conducted in 21 villages of Khambat block of Anand district in the State of Gujarat in order to assess socio-economic impact on local communities in the context of a proposed industrial unit. M/s Trion Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. has intended to establish the unit for the manufacturing of speciality chemicals. The final product of the industry will be synthetic organic specialty chemicals used for the water treatment facilities and swimming pools. The proposed project is coming up at, Village Neja, District Khambhat, Gujarat State. The co-ordinate of the site is 22°20'48.03"N & 72°35'47.76"E. For the proposed project the land bearing S. No. 382, has been acquired by Trion Chemicals Pvt. Ltd. The study was conducted using both quantitative methods viz. survey and qualitative method viz. focus group discussion. During the assessment local CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., Ahmedabad 3.46 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF Specialty Chemicals BY trion chemicals PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat communities actively participated in group discussions by sharing their views, ideas, expectations and grievances with the assessment team. The community was encouraged to articulate and prioritise their needs. The tools used in the needs assessment process were A comprehensive village data collection questionnaire A Focused Group Discussion (FGD) guideline separately for men and women groups s A infrastructure verification checklist 3.10.2 Impact Areas Looking to the nature, size and operation process of the industry the possible socio-economic impact areas are as follows – Impact on accessibility to safe drinking water due to probable contamination from raw materials and leakages during handling of effluent Health impact originated from water contamination, air pollution due to dust particles originated from vehicular movement, gaseous elements Impact on agricultural production and productivity due to water and soil contamination Positive and negative impact on employment generation, wage rates and livelihood opportunities CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

In addition to the pipeline a few villages have alternative sources of water also. In six villages dug well, in five villages bore well and in four villages’ handpum is available in addition to water pipe lines. However, water is available only in 17 villages round the year. Further, this is also need to be inquired to what proportion of population is access to water through pip line. As observed, drinking water in the villages is supplied through pipeline which is drawn from ground water. Any contamination in the surface water may infiltrate to groundwater level. Community has reported poor quality of drinking water which may be further deteriorated due to any type of contamination. At present villages do not have any process of water testing and purification except chlorination in some villages. Absence of proper drainage system in most of the villages and lack of proper maintenance in the villages where drainage system is exists is also a probable factor for possibilities of contamination if any leakage occurs. CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., Ahmedabad 3.49 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF Specialty Chemicals BY trion chemicals PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat Any impact on drinking water and thereby on public health system can be tackled with following types of action – A primary assessment of drinking water quality in each project fringe villages including laboratory testing, leakages in pipelines and possibility of contamination 1. Regular monitoring of drinking water supply system, quality parameters and apply proper purification measures 2. Construction of drainage system and proper maintenance of the same to prevent any contamination likely to arise from jam and water logging in the drainage Village- Neja Public healthcare scenario The public healthcare service started with ICDS scheme runs through anganwadis at villages which primarily deals with preventive healthcare and nutritional health. This has been observed that anganwadi is available within the village in all the studied villages. However, not the entire population is using the facility in any of the villages. The following table provides proportion of population using anganwadi. The other public healthcare services available are as stated in the table belowTable 3.14 Access to public healthcare services Within village <5Km Health sub-centre %age of village 5-10KM >10KM 3 5 8 5 14.3 23.8 38.1 23.8 CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

The amenities and infrastructure was reported average and below in more than half of the villages. This was observed that people in large dependent on PHC for major diseases. Through group discussions it was found that people prefer sub-centre or para-medical or ayurvedic practitioner and for critical diseases prefer to go to a private doctor. People in most of the villages are not happy with the service of the PHC. The quality of services specially refers to the formalities and long queues of patients, behaviour of staff and other support services. People shared that due to long queues they often have to return from PHC without getting a chance to meet the doctor – it is very time consuming to access services of PHCs. This is why people prefer to visit a private doctor than going to a PHC. However, accessibility and services of private doctors is also not up to the mark. In most of the villages private doctors are available within 10km from the villages. However, not all the private practitioners possess a MBBS degree, but a BAMS degree, who are permitted only to practice ayurvedic treatments. Still, people in the area prefer private practitioners due to easy access and to avoid queues and formalities in government hospitals. The project may have an impact on respiratory infections, occupational hazourds and water born diseases. In this context to tackle such conditions the public healthcare services need to be strengthened in following ways This indicates that quality of services and infrastructure need to be improved in most of the villages especially in anganwadis and subcentres. CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., Ahmedabad 3.51 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF Specialty Chemicals BY trion chemicals PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat Healthcare awareness need to be generated in communities for avoidance of negligence to health problems, treatment with paramedics, self medication and incompletion of medication courses. The availability of doctors, paramedical staff, equipments and services at PHC need to be improved for increasing satisfaction level of people The administrative services need to be improved in PHCs for better accessibility, communication, amenities and to manage long queues in the hospitals Practices of unlicensed private doctors need to be regulated and awareness in public need to generated about differences of training among BAMS, MMBS and paramedics Scenario of Livelihood and Employment This was observed that agriculture is the major occupation in majority of villages in which 66-80% households are engaged in half of the villages. Dairy is the second highly employing occupation which is undertaken by 20-50% of households in half of the villages and more than that in the rest. Wage labour is also a supplementary occupation taken by 36-50% households in more than half of the villages. Industrial labour, government & private jobs, and small villages are not adopted by more than 20% almost in all the villages. This was observed that in most of the villages more than 75% of area under cultivation is un-irrigated. This was observed that in most of the villages more than 50 buffalo is available and less than 50 cows are available. Looking to the size of the villages, these numbers are quite less in comparison to other areas. The major problem behind underdevelopment of the dairy sector in the area is shortage of fodder and poor water quality as shared by local community. However, dairy cooperatives are available in eighteen villages. Milk collection in peak period varies from 70 to 400 liters depending upon number of milch animals. The scenario of livelihood shows that agriculture is the major occupation but mainly rain-fed. Irrigation facilities are limited and poorly maintained. Even though dairy is a secondary occupation it is underdeveloped in CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., Ahmedabad 3.52 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF Specialty Chemicals BY trion chemicals PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat comparison to other places of the state due to unavailability of fodder and poor water quality. Economic conditions of the household are therefore low in comparison to the other part of the state. Wage labour plays a crucial role in household income as nearly 50% of the household one or other person is engaged in wage labour. In such scenario stress on water resource may further impoverish the agriculture based livelihood system. However, as the proposed industry has limited stress on the natural resources especially water and soil it will bring positive changes in economic conditions of the people through direct and indirect employment generation. Wage rate in the area is also low due to surplus labour and underperforming agriculture sector. Therefore, minimum wage rate for industrial labour will improve the economic conditions of the people getting wage employment in the industry. Depending upon number of employees and auxiliary services required for the industry wage employment will also be generated in the subsector viz. small shops, transportation, workshops etc for a limited number of households. For better wage employment in the area, the following actions needed to be taken – Technical skill building of local wage labouer as required for the industry viz. wielding, fitting, plumbing etc. Linkages with bank and government schemes for facilitating finance for development of small business by the locales Development of adequate safety parameters to tackle occupational hazard and provide insurance services to the wage labourers Employability Beyond wage employment, for employment in technical and administrative works employability of local youth is an important issue. Proportion of people with technical education and higher education is CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., Ahmedabad 3.53 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF Specialty Chemicals BY trion chemicals PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat very less in the area. Facilities for education from the primary level to the higher education level are also not satisfactory in the area. This was observed that primary schools are available within village in all the surveyed villages; senior secondary school in four villages and college in one village. No ITI is located in the area. This was found that in majority of the villages children have to travel more than five kilometers to access educational facilities beyond primary level. People during group discussion shared that poor transportation facilities is affecting parents’ interest in educating their children beyond primary level. The girl child education is especially affected due to poor accessibility to secondary school. The table below shows the adequacy of teachers against number of students in schools. This was observed that in more than half of the primary schools teachers are not in adequate numbers and in secondary schools three out of four schools teachers are not in proportion to the students. Due to various social problems and at institutional factors many eligible children are reported to be out of school in every village. Looking to the poor educational scenario and lack of institution for technical institutions, it is can be inferred that employability of the local youths is not of the desired level. For any employment generation for the local youths beyond wage employment, the employability level of youths to be improved. For this purpose the following actions needed to be taken – Strengthen the education system from primary level to higher secondary with coordination of education department Quality of education at schools needed to be improved through consultation with teachers and participation of parents Student needed to be oriented for career opportunities in different sector in their own locality Establish technical educational institutions viz. ITI in coordination with respective authority CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., Ahmedabad 3.54 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF Specialty Chemicals BY trion chemicals PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : neja, Dist. : khambhat, Gujarat Technical skill building of local youths in probable areas of employment Conclusion The proposed industry is a SME (Small and Medium Enterprise) size and its direct impact on the society and local community may be less. But cumulative impact, positive or negative will obviously be high if numbers of such industries grows up in the area. Therefore, impact areas especially water, health and employment needed be taken seriously and proper mitigation plan needed to be prepared. This study primarily recommends for the following action for reducing negative impacts and dissemination of positive impacts to larger population – Any stress on surface or ground water level need to be tackled immediately since it has very close relation to agriculture which is the major employment provider Drinking water supply system and quality management system need to be strengthened Drainage system need to be strengthened to prevent any contamination of water and soil due jam and water logging Public healthcare system needed to be strengthened especially at PHC level in order to tackle any Technical education and skill trainings needed to be promoted for better employability of local youths so that they and Trion both get in win-win position. 3.10.3 Road Map to Development The TRION Chemicals plans to initiate CSR activities in the 21 villages of Khambat taluka.

ANAD:, GUJARAT NOTATIONS / SYMBOLS 0 Insignificant impact Major negative impact Minor negative impact Major positive impact Minor positive impact 4.5.1 Impact on Water Environment 4.5.1.1 Water Quantity In the proposed project, the water will be required during construction and operation phases, which will be taken from the tankers and the borewell respectively. During construction phase, marginal quantity of water will be required, while during operation phase of the project, the estimated requirement of fresh water quantity is @ 43 KLD, whereas @ 197 KLD water recovered from MVC will be utilized . As the major quantity of water is to be recycled, there will be insignificant impact of water usage on water resources during the operation phase. Moreover, the unit is also proposing the rain water harvesting structure as well as recharging borewells for the harvested rain water. Hence, the overall impact on water quantity due to proposed project will be insignificant. 4.5.1.2 Water Quality During the operation phase, there will be generation of @ 266 KLD effluents, which will be mainly containing of process water having sodium chloride solution. The entire effluent quantity will be fed to MVC after providing necessary primary treatment. Water recovered from the MVC will be used in the process and other activities within the premises, whereas the dry salt generated from the MVC will be sold out as by-product to potential users. In absence of any direct discharge of effluent into environmental sink, there will not be any adverse impact on water quality of the region. However, 65 KLD EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 4.6 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT water (60 KLD recycled and 5 KLD fresh) is to be used for gardening / plantation purpose within premises, which will penetrate through ground and may affect ground water quality in long run. Some of the mitigation measures to minimize the likely environmental impacts on water environment, due to operation of the proposed project are described below : Sr. Environmental No. Attribute 1 Water Mitigation Measure Optimum use of water shall be done for construction activities required for proposed project. Record of water consumption to be maintained through providing water meter at strategic location Any wastages/leakages shall be avoided at all possible locations / opportunities. Proper handling of spillages if any shall be ensured by introducing spill control procedures for various chemicals. Water usage shall be carefully monitored and re-use shall be maximized to the extent possible. Proper facilities for storage of raw materials (i.e. with roof and pucca floor) shall be provided to prevent storm water contamination during the storage of various raw materials. Operation of MVC will be reviewed periodically for ascertaining its efficiency and quality of recovered water for its further use. Monitored data shall be analyzed and reviewed at regular intervals and compared with the operating standards so as to take necessary corrective actions. Enough care shall be taken to prevent any leakages / accidental spillages from ETP units in order to avoid any ground water resource contamination. The regular environment monitoring shall be carried out through established laboratory and the same practice will be continued. EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

ANAD:, GUJARAT 4.5.2 Impact on Air Environment Impacts on air environment during construction phase are likely to occur mainly due to dusting and air borne particles of construction materials. As there will be moderate construction work to be carried out, the impact will be for shorter period of time and will return to its original condition with the passage of time. Vehicular traffic associated with the construction as well as operation phase of the project for transportation of raw materials and finished products lead to increased concentration of PM, NOx, SO2, CO, HC due exhaust emissions, from their original concentration in surrounding environment. However, this effect will remain localized near to the plant site during the time of vehicular movement only. The concentrations will return to its original state with the passage of time. Hence, the impact on air environment during construction phase will be temporary and reversible in nature. The unit has proposed to install natural gas based Thermic fluid heater and Hot air generator to meet with the steam requirement for production as well as thermal destruction of effluent stream. Hence, the expected pollutant from the operation phase will be NOx only. Fugitive emissions are likely to occur only during leak from pumps, valves and pipes or leak / spill from storage vessels/facilities. The anticipated sources of process emissions from the proposed project are flash dryer, granulator and filtration system having pollutants PM and Cl 2. The unit has proposed suitable air pollution control measures (Alkali scrubber and Bag filter) to curb the pollutants at source. Hence, impacts associated from operational phase of the plant will be adverse and of minor significance. To evaluate the impacts of gaseous emissions on air quality, air pollution dispersion modeling has been carried out and described in following sub sections. EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 4.8 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT 4.5.2.1 Air Pollution Dispersion Modeling of Stack Emissions The objective of air pollution dispersion modelling is to predict the ground level concentration (GLC) for SO2, NOx, Particulate Matter and Chlorine (Cl) during operation of the proposed stacks and its impact on ambient air quality of the area. The ground level concentrations (GLC) of pollutants have been computed using Lakes Environments computer simulation model ISCST3 Short Term Model developed by USEPA and as per guidelines stipulated by Central Pollution Control Board, New Delhi. Methodology Prediction of GLC values are carried out by using Lakes environment’s Industrial Source Complex Short Term Model Version–3 (ISCST-3) software. This model uses a steady state, sector-averaged Gaussain plume equation for application in complex terrain (i.e. terrain stack or release height) and is run using stability classes developed by Pasquill and Gifford. The various source veriable were considered such as Height of Stack, Temperature, flue gas Velocity, Diameter of Stack and Fuel type and loading rate. Following are the assumptions made while using the model: The flue gas volumetric rates & source strength was calculated based on the ultimate analysis of the fuel and its loading rate. Excess air has also been added to the actual air requirement for combustion. Emission Load for the Process emission was calculated using emission factor retrieved from EPA’s WebFIRE (Factor Information Retrieval System). Details about proposed stack are presented at Table 2-14 in chapter 2 Project description. The terrain of the study area was considered as FLAT with no flag pole.

No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT The earth surface acts as a perfect reflector of plume and negligible physic-chemical processes like no dry and wet depletion and chemical transformation of pollutants. Emission rates from the point sources were considered as constant during the entire period. The mixing height for the region from CPCB’s publication “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height & Assimilative capacity of Atmosphere in India has been considered in the model”. Stability class was evaluated based on solar insolation and cloud cover. Meteorological data for the project area has been obtained for a period starting from March 2012 to May 2012. Dispersion Modeling Results The results of the air quality modeling conducted for summer season period between March 2012 to May 2012 can be summarized as: 24 hourly Ground Level Concentrations The 24 hourly average ground level concentration (GLC) values have been computed for SO2, NOx, PM and Cl considering topographical features around the proposed plant. Proposed Scenario The maximum 24 hourly average GLC values for SO2, NOx, PM and Cl for proposed scenario are given in Table 4-4, Table 4-5, Table 4-6 and Table 4-7, respectively. Isopleths for 24 hourly predicted values for SO2, NOx, PM and Cl for proposed scenario are generated which are shown in Figure 4-1, Figure 4-2, Figure 4-3 and Figure 4-4 respectively. Meteorological data was processed in WRPLOT view and windrose diagram for the area has been generated and it was observed that due to the coastal sea EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

ANAD:, GUJARAT breeze effect the Pre-dominant wind direction is from West direction during morning hours and from South West direction during evening hours with 3.58 % calm condition and the average wind speed is 3.15 m /sec. It may be noted from the computed results for the proposed scenario that the maximum 24 hourly average GLC’s value for proposed scenario as 0.0019 g/m3 for SO2, 0.329 g/m3 for Nox, 0.322 g/m3 for Particulate Matter and 0.138 g/m3 Chlorine (Cl). These GLC’s are expected to occur at a distance of 900 m from the source towards the East (E) direction for SO2 and NOx, 100 m from the source towards the South East (SE) direction for Particulate Matter and Chlorine (Cl). The maximum incremental GLCs due to the proposed project for PM, SO2 and NOx are superimposed on the baseline concentrations recorded during the study period to arrive at the likely resultant concentrations after implementation of the proposed plant. However, Cl detected below detection limit at all station during the study period. Detection limit for Cl is 5µg/m3 and highest Incremental value is 0.138 g/m3 so, cumulative concentrations values will remain below the detection limit. The cumulative concentrations (baseline + incremental) of the project is tabulated below in Table 4.3.

All employees must be trained to operate such emergency alarms. There should be an adequate number of points from which the alarm can be raised either directly, by activating an audible warning of individual signal or message to a preliminary manned location. This has advantage of permitting the earliest possible action to be taken to control the situation, which in turn may avoid the development of a major emergency. All such points must be distinctively marked and known to all employees. 6.8.4.1 Declaring the Major Emergency Major emergency will be declared after sufficient and through check because the declaration of major emergency puts many agencies on action and it may disturb the running plant, which may be costly or its consequence may be serious. Therefore, major emergency must not be decided on whims or immature judgment or without proper thought. Looking to all the above, the EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 6.29 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT plant will take care to nominate the persons who can declare the emergency, will select them on the basis of their knowledge & experience. The joint decision to declare major emergency may be taken but it should be as early as possible and without wasting the time. 6.8.4.2 Communication of Emergency The plant will initiate effective system to communicate emergency: a) Inside the plant i.e. workers including key personnel and essential workers, on duty & inside during normal working hours. b) To key personnel and essential workers not on duty and outside during normal working hours. c) To the outside emergency services and the Government Authorities. d) To the neighboring plant & the General Public in the vicinity. a) Inside the plant to the workers Copy of the manual fulfilling the entire statutory requirement will be distributed to concerned personnel. Frequently training and mock drills will be conducted to make the workers aware about their duties and action to be taken during the emergency. b) To key personnel outside daring normal working hours As per emergency planning, the key personnel & essential workers will be available in all shifts or on short call. But due to some reason, if someone is outside the plant premises or not on duty and if their help is required, an updated list and address of the essential workers and key personnel will be available in the Emergency Control Center. c) To the outside Emergency Services and the Authorities Once the emergency is declared, it is essential that the outside emergency services should be informed in the shortest possible time. Responsibilities will be fixed as per the Incident/Emergency Command to contact outside agencies for help and to communicate to the all the EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 6.30 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT Government and other authorities, such as, Fire Brigade, Police, District Emergency Authorities, Factory Inspectorate & Hospitals, etc. d) To neighboring factories and the General Public A major emergency will affect areas outside the works and it is essential that neighboring plants and general public, should be informed to enable them to take prompt action to protect their own employees and to take whatever measures may be possible to prevent further escalation of the emergency due to effects on their own installations, at the same time, they may be able to provide assistance as part of a prearranged mutual aid plan. Further responsibilities will be fixed to inform the neighboring plants and the general public residing in the vicinity. 6.8.5 Evacuation & Transportation During emergency, personnel may require to be evacuated from the incident area and also from adjacent areas. Evacuation should to be at pre-determined assembly points in a safe part of the plant. At the plant, assembly points need to be clearly marked. The plan should designate someone to record all personnel arriving at assembly point so that the information can be passed to the emergency control center. Personnel required to be transported for the purpose of medical care or for better shelter should be transported with care and facilities. Assembly Points Assembly points should be set up farthest from the location of likely hazardous events, where pre-designated persons would assemble in case of emergency. 6.8.6 Safe Plant Shut-Down If necessary, full or partial shutdown of the plant should be followed under the judgment of the incident controller or the site, main controller. For single plant sites, shut down may be comparatively simple, with the knock-on effects, elsewhere on the site. EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 6.31 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT 6.8.7 Accounting for Personnel It is necessary to know that everyone on the site has been accounted for and that the relatives of causalities have been informed. The problem of accounting can be particularly difficult, especially on large works and hinges on being able to know, with any certainty, who is on site at any one time. It can be exacerbated if an accident occurs, as it frequently does, at a shift change or at a time when large number of contractor’s personnel are on the work. It may be impracticable in many situations, to have an updated list of names of peoples on site at any one time. Holiday and sickness absence will mean that relief personnel are present and some others may be off site at the time engaged on the other work. Contractors should maintain a similar list of personnel on site. If a record is maintained of the arrival and departure of visitors, together with the names of those they have called to see, it will prove useful in establishing their where about in the emergency. Visitors should wherever practicable, be accompanied on the site by a responsible member of the work staff. The procedures so far suggested have included certain actions, which will assist in establishing the whereabouts of personnel. At the Emergency Control Center, a responsible person should be appointed to collate the lists, check those against the nominal role of these believed to be missing. Where missing people could have had cause to be at the affected area, the Incident Controller should be informed and arrangement made for further search. 6.8.8 Public Relations Inevitably, major incident will attract the attention of the press, television and radio services. It is essential to make arrangements of authoritative release of information to them, preferably at a place remote from the workers to avoid any possible harm to the people concerned. A senior personnel should be appointed as the sole authoritative source of information of the news media. All EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

During operation phase of the project, the estimated requirement of fresh water quantity is @ 43 KLD, whereas @ 197 KLD water recovered from MVC will be utilize. As the major quantity of water is to be recycled, there will be insignificant impact of water usage on water resources during the operation phase. 40. The unit is also proposing the rain water harvesting structure as well as recharging borewells for the harvested rain water. Hence, the overall impact on water quantity due to proposed project will be insignificant. 41. In absence of any direct discharge of effluent into environmental sink, there will not be any adverse impact on water quality of the region. However, 65 KLD water (60 KLD recycled and 5 KLD fresh) is to be used for gardening / plantation purpose within premises, which will penetrate through ground and may affect ground water quality in long run. 42. The air quality will be affected moderately during construction phase of proposed project. The unit has proposed to install natural gas fired HAG & TFH, hence, no air pollution control measures have been proposed for flue gas emissions. 43. The anticipated sources of process emissions from the proposed project are flash dryer, granulator and filtration system having pollutants PM and Cl2. The unit has proposed suitable air pollution control measures (Alkali scrubber and Bag filter) to curb the pollutants at source. Hence, impacts associated from operational phase of the plant will be adverse and of minor significance. 44. There will be minor significant adverse impact on air quality during operation phase of the project due to material handling, operation of EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 9.7 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT utilities. Development of Green belt of different species will absorb and confine the pollutants within the premises. 45. The dispersion modeling was done as per the general guidelines of CPCB vide their publication “Assessment of Impact to Air Environment: Guidelines for conducting Air Quality Modeling”, 1998 and using ISCST-3 model of USEPA. From the dispersion model, it is observed that the predicted ambient air quality due to proposed plant operations is well within limits specified by the CPCB. 46. Incremental increase within the study area due to proposed project will be as follow : a. Particulate matter : 0 – 0.322 µg/m3 b. SO2 : 0 – 0.0019 µg/m3 c. NOx : 0 – 0.329 µg/m3 d. Cl: 0 – 0.138 µg/m3 Thus it can be concluded that proposed plant operations will not adversely impact the air quality. Further, it is emphasized that all the emissions have to be strictly controlled as mentioned in the mitigation measures and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan, to maintain ambient air quality within norms in the future. 47. Placement and fixation of heavy machineries and vessels will have moderate impact on noise for particular time period only. There will be continuous generation of noise during plant operations, operation of boiler having minor significant impact on the environment. 48. The application for conversion of land in to N.A. for proposed project has been made. During construction phase, the site preparation, leveling and development work will have adverse impact on quality of soil. 49. During operative phase, the disposal of hazardous solid wastes will be made in designated area having pucca floor and Leachate collection EIA CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT. LTD., ahmedabad 9.8 EIA STUDY REPORT FOR MANUFACTURING OF SPECIALITY CHEMICALS BY TRION CHEMICALS PVT. LTD., S. No. 382, VILLAGE : NEJA, TA. : KHAMBHAT, DIST. ANAD:, GUJARAT system, contributing insignificant impact on land / soil. Use of treated effluent for green belt development may affect soil quality in long run. 50. As per the ecological survey carried out, no rare or endangered species has been observed in the study area leading to any adverse impact. The terrestrial ecology of the site will be affected adversely during the construction phase of the project, which may be compensated due to development and maintenance of green belt during operation phase. 51. The proposed project is anticipated to have positive socio-economic impact as it will generate employment during construction as well as operation phase. Impact in terms of displacement of habitation and settlements due to the proposed project is totally absent. No loss or disturbance of any historic and cultural heritage is associated with the proposed project. Proposed project will provide the surrounding region with business potential as well as subsequent employment opportunities. 52. Major health and safety issues encountered will be physical hazards, respiratory hazards, electrical hazards, noise, fire & explosion hazards associated while working within the plant. A chemical industry also poses risk such as accidents due to spillage, fire & explosion. 9.5 RISK ASSESSMENT STUDY 53. Risk assessment study has been carried out for the storage of identified hazardous which will be used for manufacturing of proposed products. The characteristic of the potential hazardous material to be stored are identified for deciding preventive measures required during storage, handling and transportation. 54.

PRODUCT IDENTIFICATION Chemical Name : Chlorine Trade Name : Liquid Chlorine Synonyms : Liquefied chlorine gas, chlorine gas, chlor, Molecular chlorine, diatomic chlorine, Cl II. COMPOSITION / INGREDIENTS Liquid Chlorine, % : 99.99 % by volume Chemical Formula : Cl 2 Molecular Weight : 70.90 g/mole CAS Registry No. : 7782 -50-5 III. HAZARDS IDENTIFICATION EXPOSURE TO THIS PRODUCT IS : Highly toxic age nt via inhalation and ingestion. Primarily an intense respiratory irritant and a major potential hazard upon contact to skin and eyes. Sufficient concentration of the gas irritates the mucous membranes. It can cause pulmonary edema. Liquid chlorine in con tact with skin will cause frostbite, smarting of the skin and first-degree burns on short exposure; may cause secondary burns on long exposure. Vapors will cause severe irritation of eyes and throat and can cause eye and lung injury. Vapors cannot be to lerated even at low concentrations. In extreme cases, difficulty of breathing may increase to the point where death can occur from suffocation. The characteristic, penetrating odor of chlorine gas gives warning of its presence in the air. IV. FIRST AID MEASURES GENERAL: Prompt treatment of anyone overcome or seriously exposed to chlorine, is of utmost importance. The patient should be removed from contaminated area. Obtain medical assistance as soon as possible. CONTACT WITH SKIN OR MUCOUS MEMBR ANES: Immediately wash contaminated skin and clothing with copious amounts of water for a minimum of 15 minutes . Contaminated clothing should be removed under the shower and the chlorine should be washed off with very large quantities of water. Skin area s should be washed with large quantities of soap and water. Never attempt to neutralize chlorine with chemicals. Salves and ointment should not be applied unless directed by a physician. Call or see a physician . (If victim has also inhaled chlorine, first aid for inhalation should be given first). Immediately flush eyes with large amount of running water for at least 15 minutes even if minute quantities of liquid chlorine enter the eyes. Never attempt to neutralize wi th chemicals. The eyelids should be held apart during this period to ensure contact of water with accessible tissues of the eyes and lids. Call a physician, preferably and eye specialist, at once. If physician is not immediately available, the eye irriga tion should be continued for a second period of 15 minutes. No oils or oily ointments, or any medications should be instilled unless ordered by the physician. INHALATION: Remove victim from source of exposure. If breathing has not ceased, the patient should be placed in a comfortable position and be kept warm and remain at rest until medical help arrives . If breathing stops, administer artificial respiration. If available, oxygen should be administered. Call a physician. INGESTION: Not pertinent , ingestion unlikely (chlorine is a gas above –34.5 0C). CONTACT WITH EYES: V. FIRE FIGHTING MEASURES Autoignition Point : Not Applicable Flash Point : Not Flammable Flammability/Explosive limits : Not Flammable Fire/Explosion Hazards: Toxic products are genera ted when combustibles burn with chlorine, although gas is not flammable. Fire Prevention/ Extinguishing Media : Not Applicable VI. ACCIDENTAL RELEASE MEASURES IN CASE OF SPILL OR RELEASE ; Move people from the area. Move upwind. Avoid contact with acid. Stop leaks if safe to do so. Reposition container if this will reduce or stop leakage. If leak continues, remove leaking container fr om vehicle or move other materials from vehicle away from container. Never use water on a chlorine leak. Water will make the leak worst. If efforts to control leak fails, and the leakage continues, suitable provision should be available with all Chlorin e from the leaking containers. Chlorine maybe absorbed in solution of caustic soda, soda ash or hydrated lime. MATERIAL SAFETY DATA SHEET (CHLORINE) VII. HANDLING AND STORAGE Storage Requirements: Protect against physical damage.

Weak solutions of hydrochlo ric acid and hypochlorous acids are formed. Highly corrosive in the presence of moisture. Reactivity with metals : Reacts vigorously with most metals at high temperature. Copper may burn spontaneously. Reactions with other elements: Unites with most elem ents under specific conditions. These reactions may be extremely rapid. Reactions with Inorganic Compounds: Forms soda and lime bleaches (hypochlorites). Reacts with hydrogen sulfide, ammonia or ammonium compounds. Reactions with Organic Compounds: May f orm chlorinated derivatives and hydrogen chloride. XI. TOXICOLOGICAL INFORMATION ACUTE TOXICITY : When a sufficient concentration of chlorine gas is present, it will irritate the mucous membranes, the respiratory system and the skin. Larg e amounts cause irritation of eyes, coughing and labored breathing. If the duration of exposure or the concentration of chlorine is excessive, general excitement of the person affected, accompanied by restlessness, throat irritation, and sneezing and copious salivation results. The symptoms of exposure to high concentrations are retching and vomiting, followed by difficult breathing. Chlorine produces no systemic effect. All symptoms and signs result directly or indirectly from the local irritant action. CHRONIC TOXICITY: Low concentrations of chlorine gas in the air may have a minor irritating effect or may produce slight symptoms after several hours exposure, but careful examination of persons repeatedly exposed to such conditions reportedly have shown no chronic effect.
