Environmental Impact Assessment - Municipal

EA for the Proposed STP Project Description
pollutants like PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx and CO at the study area are well within the permissible limits
prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).
1.6.2.2 Noise Environment
The baseline noise levels in and around 2 km radius of the proposed project site were
established inline with the Ambient Air Quality monitoring stations.
1.6.2.3 Water Environment
The baseline water environment in and around 2 Km radius of the proposed Project Site were
established inline with the ISO 19001 Standards. Surface water plays major role in irrigation when
compared to the ground water source. There is no major river system with in the 2 Km radius of the
STP Site.
1.6.2.4 Land Environment
Soil samples were collected from the project site, not only at its immediate vicinity but also in
the surrounding villages in study area. Physico-chemical properties of the soil were determined;
information on land use pattern in the study area was also collected.
1.6.2.5 Ecosystem
Information on eco-system within the study area was collected from the State Agricultural and
Forest departments. The important floral species native to the area is enumerated. A test check survey
was also undertaken to judge the correctness of the data collected.
1.6.2.6 Socio-Economic Environment and Occupational Health
A field survey was conducted within study area of the site and the surrounding impact zone.
The parameters selected under socio-economic component were demographic structure of the study
area, provision of basic amenities, industries likely to come up in the study area, welfare facilities by the
project proponent, safety training and management, community and occupational health hazards.
Relevant information was collected from selected villages and analyzed.
1.6.2.7 Occupational Health
As adequate protective measure for pollution abatement will be taken, as described earlier, no
occupational health problems are envisaged. However, periodic monitoring for prompt detection of any
problem in this regard will be regularly carried out and addressed.
