Operational Aspects of an EIAEnvironmental monitoring program52) Monitoring programme for pollution control at source.53) Monitoring pollutants at receiving environment for the appropriate notifiedparameters – air quality, groundwater, surface water, etc. during operational phase ofthe project.54) Specific programme to monitor safety and health protection of workers.55) Appropriate monitoring network has to be designed and proposed, to assess thepossible residual impacts on VECs.56) Details of in-house monitoring capabilities and the recognized agencies if proposedfor conducting monitoring.Additional studies57) Details on risk assessment and damage control during different phases of the projectand proposed safeguard measures.58) Details on socio-economic development activities such as commercial propertyvalues, generation of jobs, education, social conflicts, cultural status, accidents, etc.59) Proposed plan to handle the socio-economic influence on the local community. Theplan should include quantitative dimension as far as possible.60) Details on compensation package for the people affected by the project, consideringthe socio-economic status of the area, homestead oustees, land oustees, and landlesslabourers.61) Points identified in the public hearing and commitment of the project proponent to thesame. Detailed action plan addressing the issues raised, and the details of necessaryallocation of funds.Environmental management plan62) Administrative and technical organizational structure to ensure proposed post-projectmonitoring programme for approved mitigation measures.63) EMP devised to mitigate the adverse impacts of the project should be provided alongwith item-wise cost of its implementation (capital and recurring costs).64) Allocation of resources and responsibilities for plan implementation.65) Details of the emergency preparedness plan and on-site and off-site disastermanagement plan.Note:Above points shall be adequately addressed in the EIA report at corresponding chapters, inaddition to the contents given in the reporting structure (Table 4-6).4.4 Environmental Impact AssessmentThe approach for accomplishing EIA studies is shown in Figure 4.3. Each stage isdiscussed, in detail in subsequent sections.TGM for Distillery Industry August 20104-20
