PREFACE
The infrastructure development in India & Gujarat has remarkably increased in recent years. Industrial
development & urban development has found to be on its appreciable level, which has significantly
contributed to our country’s economy & revenue. Such development has also resulted in development of
supporting infrastructures like road, ports, water & sanitation etc. Especially in Gujarat state, the
development in marine infrastructure has noticeably increased mainly because of availability of largest
coastal area favourable for marine infrastructures & projects.
Gujarat is one of the few states in India which has a well defined maritime policy, and in recent times,
support of the Government to the shipyard sector has been noteworthy. It is well known that Gujarat
has the longest coastline in the country, and has one of the highest tidal ranges in the world.
It is very well known that every technology has some potential for pollution, which would consequently
lead, to environmental degradation and affecting the Earth’s natural Ecosystem. So, what is needed is,
the clarity and presence of mind to be able to strike a proper balance between these developmental
process and ecology i.e. up‐gradation of one, should not lead to the degradation of other. To control the
negative impact at the source is better, as Environmental problems have a cumulative impact so,
redemption at a later stage will lead to considerably high costs and irreversible damages. After all, there
is only one world or mankind which if ruined poses a great threat to man’s continuing existence.
Keeping in mind, on Jan, 1 1970, the President of the United States signed the National Environmental
Policy Act (NEPA) into law ‐ a law encouraging productive and enjoyable harmony between man and his
environment. Similarly the Government of India has also enacted necessary regulation & control. The
major regulatory control is implemented by updated EIA Notification published in gazette on 8th
September 2006. Beside this the CRZ Act for control of the marine activity and coastal zone protection is
also in force in India. Thus, it has become essential to conduct the detail EIA study for the clearance
under Act of Coastal Regulation Zone as well as EIA Notification.
Considering the strong support from the Government & liberalization policy of Central Government to
the port sector, M/s DMCC (Dharmashi Marorarji Chemical Company) has promoted its subsidiary
company called DMCC Oil Terminal (Navlakhi) Ltd., as Infrastructure Company in year 2005. But due to

some constrains, the project could not be started till 2005. The management of Dharamshi Morarji
chemicals Company Ltd. Has decided to modify the project activity by replacing the single project.
Finally, with Vibrant Gujarat scheme by Government of Gujarat, the management proposed the project
under scheme after some changes in the earlier project profile. The construction of the jetty, the storage
area and the discharge area remains same as per earlier project. The present proposal for EIA study has
been conducted to obtain the CRZ clearance from MoEF for construction of jetty, a approach trestle and
bridge & road on sui creek and storage yard for various commodities including Coal, Food grains,
Fertilizers, Steel/Scrap, Timber, Salt and other general cargo. The DMCC Oil Terminal (Navlakhi) ltd is
special purpose vehicle company promoted by Dharamshi Morarji chemicals Company Ltd to develop as
multipurpose cargo jetty at Navlakhi.
In process of compiling this report, we were earnestly supported & helped by individuals of M/S. DMCC
Oil Terminal Limited, Environment Officers of Gujarat Maritime Board and various departments of
Government, without which it would not be possible to complete the same successfully.

Compliance to the ToR given by the EAC for the proposal for Multipurpose Jetty within Navlakhi
Port, Maliya, Rajkot District, Gujarat by M/s DMCC Oil Terminals (Navlakhi) Ltd.
=================================================================
i) Submit the details of the site selection with justification along with details of alternate sites
examined. (Chapter:1, Section‐1.3, Page no: 1 to 2)
DETAILS OF SITE SELECTION
The Government of Gujarat announced a port policy in 1995. Various provisions to enhance port
infrastructures to cope up the increasing cargo volume due to international trade have been made.
Some of the contents are narrated here below which attribute the selection of site.
1. According to Port Policy of Government of Gujarat announced in 1995, one of the aims was to
attract private sector investments in the existing minor and intermediate ports and in the new
port locations.
2. PRIVATE INVESTMENT IN THE EXISTING MINOR AND INTERMEDIATE PORTS
The existing ports under Gujarat Maritime Board, which handle 16 million tonnes of traffic, have
shown a growth rate of 22% during the last two years. The demand on these existing ports is
increasing day by day. In order to handle as much cargo as possible, it is decided to invite private
investments in the existing minor and intermediated ports. General guidelines of privatization are
as follows:
i. Incomplete works of wharf/jetty/quay of GMB will be privatized.
ii. Private entrepreneurs will be permitted to install modern mechanical handling equipment on
the wharf/jetty/quay.
3. PRIVATISATION OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF NEW WHARVES/JETTIES IN SELECTED SITES.
A corridor consists of ports of Okha, Positra, Rozi, Jamnagar refineries, Navlakhi, Kandla, Mundra
and Mandvi, around Gulf of Kutch has been identified. The road connecting these ports will be
linked with Rajasthan, through Radhanpur and Tharad and ultimately to Northern States.
The above corridors connecting respective ports offer tremendous potential for truck traffic, which
will be highly suited for privatization in the future. These corridors offer nearest destination to
adjoining hinterland states of Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Maharashtra.
SELECTION OF SITE
Keeping in mind the nearness of the hinterland and other locations like, Poshitra, Rozi and Mundra
were to be developed as full‐fledged port, whereas, our project is to build and operate a multi

cargo handling jetty within existing port. According to geographical location, Navlakhi was best port
for us to construct a jetty out of remaining locations identified by the Government of Gujarat.
The favourable points to provide jetty at Navlakhi are as under;
a) It is selected location as per Port policy announced by GoG.
b) More than 12m water depth is available at a distance of 1.7Km from shore. This will
facilitate the vessels carrying more than 50,000T of cargo.
c) There is no requirement of capital as well as maintenance dredging.
d) The location is in shelter area and doesn’t need any protective structure like breakwater.
e) Road connectivity as well as rail connectivity with the hinterland is good.
• State highway up to the port connecting to National Highway at Maliya as well as Morbi at
a distance of 45 km
• Broad gauge railway connecting the port with the hinterland.
f) The location is at the shorter distance with the northern hinterland in comparison to
other location identified as per port policy.
g) No rehabilitation
h) Land is available as required
Thus, Navlakhi Port is the better location to construct a direct berthing jetty to handle multiple
cargos. A map showing Road and Rail connectivity is attached as Annex‐1
ii) Submit the details of the eco‐sensitive areas in the vicinity
The proposed site is not falling in any types of forest/sanctuary/ parks. The site is at a distance of
o >5.2 Km away from Marine Reserved Forest
o > 25Km away from Marine National Park
A letter from CCF, Marine National Park, Jamnagar is enclosed, which is self explanatory
regarding the distances of various park/sanctuaries. Annex‐2
iii) Marine Traffic should not affect others, submit the analysis.
The location of the jetty is at innermost part of Gulf of Kutch. Due to shallow waters upstream to
this location, no navigation is expected beyond this location except small barges and boats.
Proper care had been taken in planning the jetty for movement of barges operating from existing
port facilities. A separate channel has been earmarked at a distance of 275m from proposed jetty.
Gujarat Maritime Board, a regulating authority for the ports under State Government has

approved the channel arrangement as submitted with Detailed Project Report. A map showing
the provision of barge channel is enclosed as Annex‐3
iv) Submit the details of the Hydrodynamic study (Chapter:4, Section‐4.8.1,Page no: 13)
Hydrodynamic studies for the site had been conducted through M/s. Environ Software Pvt. Ltd,
Bangalore. The scope of study was 1) Flow modelling studies, 2) Jetty Alignment Studies and 3)
Sediment Transport Studies. The outcomes of the studies are as under;
Hydrodynamic Modelling:
• The model generated tides are comparable to actual observations at the vicinity of proposed
Jetty.
• The model has been run for various tidal conditions to study the hydrodynamic behaviour and
flow regime in and around the proposed Jetty in the deep waters of Navlakhi.
• Flow regime changes for various tidal conditions before and after the proposed development
of Jetty in the deep water system of Navlakhi seem to be negligible.
Sediment Transport Modelling:
• The changes in the sedimentation processes for all tidal conditions seem to be not significant
due to construction of Jetty.
• The erosion is predicted in the vicinity of jetty is around 2 to 5 cm for month
• Jetty facilities do not seem to affect the flow regime and morphology in the study area in
general.
Jetty alignment studies:
Flow modelling has been carried out for various tidal conditions and for various seasons to
predict the flow direction. The Jetty head alignment has been fixed parallel to flow direction.
v) Submit details of port limits declared by the State Government authorities for the proposed
development.
The Communications Department, Government of Saurashtra vide Notification No.CDG/4‐2/46,
dated 21 st November, 1955 declared the limits of Navlakhi Port. A copy of the notification and
map showing the port limits of Navlakhi is enclosed as Annex‐4

vi) Submit the details of Oil Spill Contingent Management Plan.
Owing to the solid nature of the cargo handling at the port, there is no likelihood any oil or
chemical spill on the landward or seaward side of the port. There shall be no oil extant tanker
movements in Navlakhi channel. Bunker fuel in the vessel is contained in holds located deep
inside the hull which does not get affected in the event of low impact collision /groundings and
hence does not result in oil spill. However detailed oil spill Contingent management plan has
been prepared which is enclosed as Annexure‐5
vi) Submit the details of dredging, quality, method of disposal.
Hydrographic survey of the area had been conducted during Jul‐2008. (Annex‐6) The depths
available at the location are 12m below Chart Datum.
As required depth is available for the draft of vessels to be operated (Handymax 11.90m and for
Handysize 9.70m) at proposed location, there is no requirement of capital or maintenance
dredging. Model studies have been conducted for the site and confirmed that the changes in the
sedimentation processes for all tidal conditions are non significant due to construction of Jetty. A
copy of the report is enclosed as Annex‐7
vii) Submit the details of Tide gauge and velocity profile to check the model calculations. Tide
and Velocity measurement shall be simultaneous.
A survey had been conducted for current with respect to tide for 15 days (covering spring tide)
for the proposed location during 11‐10‐2011 to 26‐10‐2011. Mathematical modeling had been
carried out considering the above data. A copy of tide gauge and velocity report is enclosed as
Annex‐8. A formal assessment in sediment transport process taking place with respect to
prevailing environmental conditions such as flow regime, wave climate wind effect etc in open
waters has been carried out and a report has been prepared based on flow modeling and
sediment transport in the region of proposed basin & jetty. Dedicated soft wear Hydrodyn –
FLOSOFT & Hydrodyn‐SEDSOFT has been used for prediction of tides & currents and
sedimentation process in the sea. Also a copy of model study is enclosed as Annex‐7
ix) Selection of the sampling location for air shall be based on the wind rose. Submit the
details. (Chapter:3, Section‐3.3, Page no:28 )
We have selected five locations for Ambient Air quality monitoring within 20 km radius from the
project site. One location at GMB jetty (4.5 km) and remaining locations are almost in the NE

direction. Locations were selected on the basis of population density because no village falls in
north direction, south direction, south‐west direction in 10 km radius as this area has been
covered with sea. Ambient air quality locations are attached as Annex‐9
Detail of all the locations are as under:

A4 Versamedi 15.5 Km NEE
A5 New Navlakhi (Bodki) 18.5 Km EES
x) Examine and submit details of connectivity to the site through rail/road network.
Accessibility to hinterland is an important aspect of development of ports and for their integrity
to regional and national economy. Today Navlakhi port is in privileged to being connected to the
recently developed highway system in India and possesses a massive hinterland with 10 states in
the western and northern India. A map showing rail and road connectivity of the site with
hinterland is attached as Annex‐1
Typical characteristics of hinterland of the port are:
• Covers more than 10 states
• Covers important urban centers such as Delhi and NCR, Ahmedabad, Bhopal, Indore, Jaipur,
Jodhpur, Chandigarh, Ludhiana, Amritsar, etc.
• Has major portion of the country’s population and is a massive region of mass production and
consumption.
• Moreover, there is possibility of diverting traffic from hinterlands of Maharashtra and
Southern ports through ensuring better performances and connectivity.

Major road connecting the Navlakhi port to their hinterland and status of development projects on
these roads are:
• For the port link, SH‐24 from Navlakhi via Morbi to NH 8A and another link road from
Navlakhi via Pipaliya ‐ Maliya to NH 8A are available with 2lane, which provides basic connectivity
between Navlakhi and North and Central Indian cities and rest of Gujarat. Conversion of these
roads in to four lanes is under pipeline.
• With the ambitious East‐West and North‐South Corridor and Golden Quadrilateral Projects,
over all connectivity of Western, Northern and Central Indian states are going to be improved in an
unprecedented way.
• Jaipur‐Delhi and Udaipur‐Ahmedabad portion of the Golden Quadrilateral has already been
completed along with their extensions in Gujarat.
• East‐West Corridor from Porbandar to Silchar in Assam is under construction.
• Within Gujarat there are extensive improvements in connectivity to various cities within past
half a decade, which also going to play significant role. Halol‐Kalol Expressway, Ahmedabad‐
Mehsana Toll Road, Ahmedabad‐Vadodara Expressway, etc definitely improves overall connectivity
in the region.
Within next five years, it is envisaged that goods from ports in Gulf of Kutch will be able to travel
non‐stop in four lane highways to neek and corners of the country.
Moreover, ports in Gulf of Kutch have comparative distance advantages from the northern Indian
states in comparison to other west coast ports. Comparative distance advantage for the ports in
Gulf of Kutch. J & K, HP, Punjab, Haryana has 20 to 30 percent, UP and Uttaranchal has 10 to 20
percent, Ahmedabad almost 50 percent distance/ cost saving if considered the ports in Gulf of
Kutch over Mumbai, JNPT or Nava Sheva. Rajasthan has easy accessibility to Navlakhi being a
neighbouring state and well connected via national highways. Although the distance from major
cities in Madhya Pradesh to Gulf of Kutch are more in comparison to the same to Mumbai, JNPT
and Nava Sheva, but the port in Gulf of Kutch may be still be preferable due to increasing
congestion in Mumbai, JNPT and Nava Sheva and on the roads leading to these ports.
Navlakhi is connected to Northern and central Indian states through broad gauge railway line via
Dahisara‐Maliya‐Dhangadhra‐Ahmedabad. Another route of BG connection is via Dahisara‐Morbi‐

Vankaner‐Surendranagar‐Viramgam‐Ahmedadad. A Plan showing Road/ Railway connectivity is
enclosed as Annex‐1
xi) Submit details of type of cargo expected to be handled and cargo‐wise environmental issues
and mitigation measures and appropriate monitoring mechanism to contain adverse impact if
any.

From the above commodities only coal handling is having adverse effect like dust emission and fire
hazards. Care had been taken to minimize the adverse effect during operation phase. A detail
report of Risk Assessment and Disaster Management has been attached as Annex‐10
xii) Submit details of storage of cargo, handling equipment for evacuation and mitigation
measures to contain surface runoff with due to rains.
Mobile cranes of suitable capacity, preferably GOTTWALD type, are suitable for reasons of
flexibility. Two cranes each with a capacity of 13,000‐14,000 T per day can handle coal
requirements. For Fertilizer/FRM the rate required is slightly lower. These rates have been
achieved at leading ports dealing with similar cargo.
To achieve operational efficiency, the cargo shall be moved to stack yard by mechanized closed
conveyor belt system. However, a hopper & truck system for some period may also be adopted till
mechanized system is in place.

A mechanized conveyor belt with steel chord & having a capacity of 1500‐2000 TPH can effectively
meet the handling system & cargo requirements. Possibility of installing grab unloader needs to be
ascertained closely depending on shipping pattern & cargo growth.
This has been as per Prefeasibility Report Section‐4 (Annex‐11). We are in process to finalize the
supplier from the reputed manufacturers of the cargo handling machineries.
xiii) Submit details whether the proposed trestle of 1700m long inside the creek will affect its
normal functions for small crafts and the type of construction (piled structure). (Chapter:2,
Section‐2.4, Page no:8 )
The approach trestle provided to connect the jetty is not coming in the way of the craft moving in
the area. The barge/boat channel earmarked in the chart is as per movement of cargo barges and
fishing vessels from anchorage and fishing ground respectively. A map showing jetty location and
barge channel is attached as Annex‐3
xiv) Study possibility of improvising/optimizing the facilities available at the Navlakhi Port to
meet the traffic demand before zeroing in on an offshore jetty at the new location; a techno‐
economic feasibility study would be desirable with special emphasis on environmental issues.
The existing port facilities at Navlakhi are;
Berths:
i) R.C.C. Jetty of 163 m long having depth of water available as 4.5 m and capacity of jetty to receive
up to 3000 DWT capacity vessels.
ii) Deep water lighter private wharf of 76.5 m.
iii) Deep water lighterage private piled‐jetty of 102 m. on Vershamedi creek
iv) Deep water lighterage private wharf of 92 m on Sui creek
(ii) Storage (Covered)
Total covered storage area 4920 Sqm
(iii) Open Plots as per New Planning
Area for staking 160000 Sqm
Looking to the limitations of draft at berth, cargo handling is only possible through lighterage. Also
there is insufficient storage space for present volume of cargo to the tune of 4.5mmt per year.
Therefore, expansion of the facilities is badly needed for enhanced cargo volume.

For faster cargo handling, direct ship berthing facilities are required.
For the purpose, we planned a jetty at deep waters and independent port infrastructures to
accommodate enhanced cargo at Navlakhi Port.
xv) Submit the recommendations of the SCZMA.
A copy of the recommendation letter from SCZMA is enclosed as Annex‐12
xvi) Study the likely impact on Marine Environment (MEIA) and submit EMP with budgetary
provisions and Study the impact on the Fishing activity Total number of people engaging in
fishing /other fisheries related activities in the study area.
As the project is to provide cargo handling facilities and there will not be any production activities
as well as dredging, impact on Marine Environment will not be there. However, as explained in EIA
repot, care will be taken to avoid marine pollution.
Fishing area in hansal creek is far away from the Navlakhi port and there will not ben any effect on
fishing activity due to jetty construction as proposed the fishermen settled near by navlakhi port
use sui creek to land their catch from the fishinig ground from the Tuna & Chowgule jetty. A
seprate barge channel leading to Navlakhi port will facilitate for sailing fishing boat. A bridge over
Sui creek has been planned keeping 30 meter span and 6 meter air draft at high tide to under pass
the fishing boat at any tidal status. A report is enclosed as Annex‐13 showing fishing grounds,
population, volume & type of fish catch.
xvii) Submit the details of green belt development. (Chapter:8, Section‐8.10, Page no: 24 to 26)

Eco Chem Sales & Service, Surat C1‐1
Chapter‐1: Introduction
Chapter‐1:
INTRODUCTION
The Dharamsi Morarji Chemical Co. Ltd. has a quality record to achieve its goal as per demand of time. New
situations present new challenges; new problems are not answered by old solutions. One of the most
encouraging results of this approach to business is the development of innovative technologies to minimize
effluent generation and recycle by‐products into the basic chemical manufacturing process.
DMCC (Dharmashi Marorarji Chemical Company) is a well established organisation standing in the country
from last 75years. The company is mainly associated with manufacturing and marketing of chemicals and
fertilizers and it has also executed chemical projects on turnkey basis within and outside India. The group
has obtained ISO 9001‐200 Certification from BVQI.
Considering the strong support from the Government & liberalization policy of Central Government to the
port sector, M/s DMCC (Dharmashi Marorarji Chemical Company) has promoted its subsidiary company
called DMCC Oil Terminal (Navlakhi) Ltd (DOTL)., as Infrastructure Company in the year 1998. The proposed
project of DOTL was designed to construct a jetty, an approach Trestle & Road bridge on Sui creek. Storage
yard were proposed for handling the LPG & Oil to be imported & exported. Due to some constraint, the
project could not be started. The management of Dharamshi Morarji chemicals Company Ltd. There after
decided to modify the project activity by replacing the LPG product by solid cargo handling for Coal, Food
grains, Fertilizers, Steel/Scrap, Timber, Salt and other general cargo. Finally, they signed an MOU with
Government of Gujarat in the vibrant Gujarat investment summit in 2005; M/S. DOTL has already obtained
the NOC (CTE) from Gujarat Pollution Control Board. M/S. DOTL has also received the approval from Gujarat
Maritime Board (GMB). There was some debate regarding the existence of forest area in the proposed site.
A jointly survey was carried out by the forest department & the DILR of Gujarat Government & verdict that
the proposed project does not fall in the forest area. The EIA has been conducted for the proposed
infrastructure project for constructing a jetty, a approach trestle and Road bridge on sui creek along with

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
storage yard for handling and storage of solid cargo like Coal, Food grains, Fertilizers, Steel/Scrap, Timber,
Salt and other general cargo.
Now unit proposes to apply for CRZ clearance for construction & operation of jetty for handling multiple
cargo along with necessary allied structure at Navlakhi.
1.2 PROJECT SITE
Navlakhi port is located in Rajkot district of Gujarat which is at the head of inner Gulf of Kutch on the west
cost of India. This is the only port in Rajkot district of Saurashtra under the administrative control of Gujarat
Maritime Board.(Proposed site shown in Figure 1.1) The port is Located at a distance 65 Km (35 Nm) North
East of Bedi (Minor Port) and approximately 25 Kms (14Nm) from Kandla Port (Major Port). The existing port
is anchored in Hansthal Creek and is situated at the junction of Sui and Versamedi Creek.
1.3 PROJECT JUSTIFICATION
Navlakhi presently handles import and export of cargo only by means of litherage. The existing litherage port
consist of various shallow water berthing facilities, shore structures like storages and transit godowns,
platforms and paving, Broad Gauge Railway line. At present only two vessels can work at the anchorage
simultaneously. The present handling and storage facility for coal is disorganized in form of irregular coal
dumps. The method of coal handling generates heavy problem of dusting. Also the present infrastructure is
grossly inadequate. Moreover there is no direct berthing arrangement at Navlakhi as a result Kandla port,
which is just 25Km away on the opposite (Western) side, is over saturated and over congested.
The favourable points to provide jetty at Navlakhi are as under;
a) It is selected location as per Port policy announced by GoG.
b) More than 12m water depth is available at a distance of 1.7Km from shore. This will facilitate the
vessels carrying more than 50,000T of cargo.
c) There is no requirement of capital as well as maintenance dredging.
d) The location is in shelter area and doesn’t need any protective structure like breakwater.

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
e) Road connectivity as well as rail connectivity with the hinterland is good.
• State highway up to the port connecting to National Highway at Maliya as well as Morbi at
a distance of 45 km
• Broad gauge railway connecting the port with the hinterland.
f) The location is at the shorter distance with the northern hinterland in comparison to other location
identified as per port policy.
g) No rehabilitation
h) Land is available as required
Beside these, due to inadequate development the socio‐economic structure & cultural pattern of the region
(in radius of 25 km) has also been influenced. At present the employment potential is very low in existing
port. This has undermined the socio‐economic structure, cultural pattern, region development, many other
cultural‐social and economic aspects.
Looking forward towards all these inadequacy, M/s DMCC Oil Terminal (Navlakhi) Ltd. proposes to set up
Jetty to handle cargo by independent import/storage and inland movement facilities for importing and
exporting goods at the above place. By setting up such facilities, employment opportunity, social & cultural
aspects and many other development aspects will be uplifted with improved quality. Thus this facility will be
the initiative for the over all development of the region.

1.4 REGULATORY FRAMEWORK & NEED OF EIA STUDY
The proposed construction of jetty & other allied infrastructures for handling cargo at Navlakhi Port is a
project which requires water front along with necessary marine infrastructures. It is considered as a
permissible activity under the CRZ Act. It is mandatory to get the clearance under the provision of the CRZ
Act for the proposed project. As per the guideline sited by the Authority for the CRZ Clearance,
Environmental Impact assessment is required for the proposed construction of jetty & other allied
infrastructure for handling cargo at Navlakhi Port.
1.5 SCOPE & OBJECTIVES OF THE EIA STUDY
This EIA Report is prepared to comply with the requirements of the MoEF as per the guideline for the
Clearance under the “Costal Regulation Zone”. The scope of study would include detailed characteristics of
environmental components. For the purpose of environmental assessment, the villages in the surrounding
areas have been surveyed and relevant data has been collected.
The objectives of this EIA are:
• To describe the Project and associated works together with the requirements for carrying out the
Project
• To identify and describe the elements of the community and environment likely to be affected by
the Project, and / or likely to cause impacts upon the Project, including both the natural and man‐
made environment
• To identify and quantify any environmental impacts associated with the Project and recommend
appropriate mitigation measures;
• To identify existing landscape and visual quality in the Study Area so as to evaluate the landscape
and visual impacts of the Project;
Eco Chem Sales & Service, Surat C1‐5
Chapter‐1: Introduction

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
• To propose mitigation measures to minimise pollution, environmental disturbance and nuisance
during construction and operation of the Project
• To identify, assess and specify methods, measures and standards, to be included in the detailed
design, construction and operation of the Project which are necessary to mitigate these impacts
and reduce them to allowable levels within established standards / guidelines
• To identify and justify the need for environmental monitoring to define the scope of the
requirements necessary to ensure the implementation and the effectiveness of the
environmental protection and pollution control measures adopted
• To identify constraints associated with the mitigation measures recommended in this EIA
• To identify any additional studies necessary to fulfil the objectives to the requirements of this EIA
Study.
1.6 THE EIA CYCLE AND PROCEDURES
The EIA process in India is made up of the following phases:
• Screening
• Scoping and consideration of alternatives
• Baseline data collection
• Impact prediction
• Assessment of alternatives, delineation of mitigation measures and environmental impact statement
• Environment Management Plan
• EIA Review
• Application for CRZ Clearance
Eco Chem Sales & Service, Surat C1‐6
Chapter‐1: Introduction

1.6.1 SCREENING
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
Screening is done to see whether a project requires clearance as per the statutory notifications.
Screening Criteria are based upon:
• Scales of investment;
• Type of development; and,
• Location of development.
1.6.2 SCOPING
It has to be done by the consultant in consultation with the project proponent and guidance, from Impact
Assessment Agency. The Ministry of Environment and Forests has published guidelines for different sectors,
which outline the significant issues to be addressed in the EIA studies. Quantifiable impacts are to be assessed
on the basis of magnitude, prevalence, frequency and duration and non‐quantifiable impacts significance is
commonly determined through the socio‐economic criteria. After the areas, where the project could have
significant impact, are identified, the baseline status of these should be monitored and then the likely changes
in these on account of the construction and operation of the proposed project should be predicted.
1.6.3 BASELINE DATA
Baseline data describes the existing environmental status of the identified study area. The site‐specific
primary data should be monitored for the identified parameters and supplemented by secondary data if
available.
1.6.4 IMPACT PREDICTION
Impact prediction is a way of ‘mapping’ the environmental consequences of the significant aspects of the
project and its alternatives. Environmental impact can never be predicted with absolute certainty and this is
all the more reason to consider all possible factors and take all possible precautions for reducing the degree of
uncertainty.
Eco Chem Sales & Service, Surat C1‐7
Chapter‐1: Introduction

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
The following impacts of the project should be assessed:
Air Environment
Existing status of ambient air quality at 5 locations in the vicinity of the site for parameters namely
PM10, PM2.5, Sulphur dioxide (SO2), Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx), have been described.
Maximum number of sampling stations were selected considering the prominent wind direction of
the region
The micro‐meteorological data like wind speed, wind direction, temperature, relative humidity etc.,
were collected from IMD.
Noise Environment
Noise level monitoring was carried out from selected locations for day and night time by noise meter
to asses the present scenario of noise environment.
Water Environment
Ground & Surface Water samples were collected from surrounding villages. Locations for the study of
existing water resources with respect to water quality. Physical, chemical and micro biological
parameters were analysed to asses the water quality
Water quality is being assessed with drinking water standards.
Marine environment
Water samples were collected from selected locations as it has been discussed in chapter ‐3.
Samples were collected during the low tide & high tide. Mode of sampling was grab and samples
were collected in plastic carboys. Specific preservative were used for specific parameters. All the
sampling was carried out as per the procedure given in APHA 21 st edition. Frequency of sampling was
once in a month for physico chemical parameter and once in the study period for microbiological &
biological parameter.
Land Environment
Collection of data for study of land use pattern General parameters of soil analysis, in context of
impact assessment are texture, pH, conductivity, ESP, Phosphate, Copper, Zinc, Chloride, Total
Eco Chem Sales & Service, Surat C1‐8
Chapter‐1: Introduction

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
Nitrogen, Chromium, Nitrogen as Nitrate. Soil samples were collected from selected sites within the
impact zone and analyzed for relevant parameters.
Ecology & Socio‐Economic Environment
Secondary Data for flora and fauna were collected from forest department and other related
literatures. Data were verified by data collection and discussion with local public.
1.6.5 MITIGATION MEASURES AND ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
Efficient mitigation plan should be drawn up for the selected option and is supplemented with an
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) to guide the proponent towards environmental improvements. The
EMP is a crucial input to monitoring the clearance conditions and therefore details of monitoring should be
included in the EMP. An EIA report should provide clear information to the decision‐maker on the different
environmental scenarios without the project, with the project and with project alternatives. Uncertainties
should be clearly reflected in the EIA report.
o Delineation of mitigation measures including prevention and control for each environmental
component and rehabilitation and resettlement plan.
o Delineation of monitoring scheme for compliance of conditions
o Delineation of implementation plan including scheduling and resource allocation
1.6.6 RISK ASSESSMENT & DISASTER MANAGEMENT
Rapid EIA is for speedier appraisal process. EIA require inclusion/ coverage of all significant environmental
impacts and their mitigation. Depending on nature, location and scale of the project. EIA report should
contain components which are:.
o Hazard identification taking recourse to hazard indices, inventory analysis, dam break probability,
Natural Hazard Probability etc.
o Consequence analysis of failures and accidents resulting in fire, explosion, hazardous releases etc.
o Assessment of risk on the basis of the necessary evaluations
o Preparation of an onsite /off site Emergency Plan and Disaster Management Plan

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
The present Infrastructure available at Navlakhi is grossly inadequate. The present handling and storage
capacity of good is disorganized and this generates heavy problem. It is envisaged that in next 5 years the
potential for Navlakhi port is estimated to increase. Flow of goods to and from, the country plays and
important role in the economic development of the country. In this context we can say that ports act as a
gateway to the country’s economy and play an important role in development of nation. Looking forward to
these importance of such activities M/s. DOTL subsidiary company promoted by DMCC decided for jetty &
allied structure development. The identified site for the jetty as well for the on shore facility is located west
to the existing Navlakhi Port area and on the west of the side of Sui creek in the Hansthal Creek of Gulf of
Kutch.
As mentioned earlier, Considering the strong support from the Government & liberalization policy of Central
Government to the port sector, M/s DMCC (Dharmashi Marorarji Chemical Company) has promoted its
subsidiary company called DMCC Oil Terminal (Navlakhi) Ltd (DOTL)., as Infrastructure Company in the year
1998. The proposed project of DOTL was designed to construct a jetty, an approach Trestle & Road & bridge
on Sui creek. Storage yard were proposed for handling the LPG & Oil to be imported & exported, but due to
some constraint, the project could not be started. The management of Dharamshi Morarji chemicals
Company Ltd. There after decided to modify the project activity by replacing the LPG product by solid cargo
handling for Coal, Food grains, Fertilizers, Steel/Scrap, Timber, Salt and other general cargo. Finally, they
signed an MOU with Government of Gujarat in the vibrant Gujarat Scheme; M/S. DOTL has already obtained
the NOC (CTE) from Gujarat Pollution Control Board. M/S. DOTL has also received the clearance from GMB.
There was some debate regarding the existence of forest area in the proposed site. A survey was carried out
by the forest department & the forest department has now given it’s verdict that the proposed project does
not fall in the forest area. The EIA has been conducted for the proposed infrastructure project for
constructing a jetty, a approach trestle and Road & bridge on sui creek along with storage yard for handling
and storage of solid cargo like Coal, Food grains, Fertilizers, Steel/Scrap, Timber, Salt and other general
cargo.

2.5 FORMULATION OF CONCEPT
Following few important boundary conditions are evaluated during the formulation of concept;
• Site characteristics
• Supportive infrastructure
• Realization of potential projected cargo & Shipping trends
2.5.1 SITE CHARACTERISTICS:
The proposed berths are to be located near the Navlakhi anchorage within the Hansthal creek. The available
water depth is about 12m to 12.5 m. The shoreline is marked by a MUD FLAT followed by a virgin back up
land. The mud flat is about 1300.0 m long beyond which the deeper water is available at about 1700m
distance where the depth of water is 12m.
2.5.1.1 Meteorological Conditions
Temperature:
Summer in north‐western India lasts from April to June, and in the rest of the country from March to June.
The temperatures in the north rise as the vertical rays of the Sun reach the Tropic of Cancer. The hottest
month for the western of the country is April, while for the northern regions it is May. By May, most of
interior India experiences mean temperatures over 32°C and maximum temperatures exceeding 40°C. Near
the coast the temperature hovers around 36°C, and the proximity of the sea increases the level of humidity.
The onset of Southwest monsoons by June lowers the temperature. The temperature of the region varies
between 23°C to 33°C averaged during the year.
Rainfall:
Gujarat receives its rainfall from the southwest monsoon [July to September], its maximum intensity being in
the months of July and August. The annual rainfall varies between 300mm in the North and Northwest
gradually increasing to 2500 mm in the South. The project site receives about 305 mm of annual rainfall.

Relative Humidity:
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
The annual average relative humidity in the region during morning and evening is 71 % and 42%
respectively. During the monsoon period, the relative humidity exceeds 75%. Navlakhi mostly has an average
yearly relative humidity between 60‐65%.
Cyclone
A cyclone is a storm accompanied by the high speed wind. It brings torrential rains. It is observed that
Navlakhi lies very high risk zone. Hence all the marine structure designed keeping this in view. It has been
estimated that the probability of the cyclonic depression passing through the Gulf of khambhat is once in six
years.

Wind and wave climate:
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
Data from Indian Meteorological Department (IMD) was procured for a period of 30 years. The VOS (Visual
Observation by Ships) collected by IMD forms a very useful data set, particularly for design of the harbour
layout, wherein a design down time is to be estimated. The data includes the information on the wind
speed, direction, directional wave heights and wave periods. The analyzed data set comprises a grid size of
2° (Lat. ~9° ‐22° N and Long 70 0
‐73 0
E) on either side centring the SPM2.
The wind rose for the period between August 1999, and November 2006, is presented in below Figure. It can
be observed that the predominant wind directions are WSW and W, which are basically driven by the
prominent SW monsoon winds. Similar wind patterns can be seen for the NW monsoon when the wind
directions are in the NW to NE directions, but are not very strong in this region.
Wind (1 knot = 0.51 m/s)
The IMD wave data was analysed for a period of 30 years,. Figure below shows the wave rose diagram. It
may be seen that the predominant directions of waves in the deep sea are from SW to NW. It can also be
seen that waves are less than 0.5 m, I m and 2 m in height for 59.5, 81.6 and 95.3% of the time respectively

2.5.1.2 Oceanographic Conditions
Tides:
Wave height rose
Tides in the Gulf are of mixed, predominantly semidiurnal type with a large diurnal inequality. The maximum
high & low tide water was observed as 7.21 m & 0.37 m. The minimum high tide was observed as 6.16 m.
Currents:
The surface current pattern in the gulf is fairly strong & tide controlled with marginal influence on the wind.
The maximum currents spreads are high in the channel of Hansthal creek & may exceed 300 cms/sec during
spring tide. The max. Velocity of current was 6.78 kmph at mid ebb & 6.21 kmph at mid of flood.
Waves:
No wave recording appears to have been taken at Navlakhi port. As Navlakhi channel is situated in
backwaters of gulf of kutch, the wave action at Navlakhi generally generally is of low order and the
significant wave height seldom exceeds 1 m.

2.6 PROJECT DEVELOPMENT
The proposed development plan has been prepared taking in to consideration the site features, navigational
possibilities, cargo ram‐up & investment. To achieve development, phasing of facilities is necessary. The
whole activity is completed in the following steps:
2.6.1 Berthing & Operation Facility:
In the initial stage the berths shall be created for loading and unloading purpose, where dredging activity will
not require. The Berthing facility shall be provided for Northern part and Southern part. The northern part
will have export facility & southern part will have an import facility. Description of the same is as under.
A) IMPORT FACILITY
This will required to fulfil the needs of coal, fertilizer including FRM
i) Berth & Operational aspect:
Taking in to consideration the mooring & cargo handling requirements, the berth size shall be of 440 m long
& 42.0m wide. It will meet with the initial phase of commencement. Probably Two cranes having the
capacity of 13,000‐14,000 tonne per day will handle the coal requirement. To achieve operational efficiency,
the cargo shall be moved to stack yard by mechanized closed conveyor belt system. However, a hopper &
truck system will be adapted for some period till mechanized system is in place.
B) EXPORT FACILITY
This will cater to the needs of cargo throughput‐iron, steel, scrap, food grain & containerized cargo to partial
extent.

Chapter‐2: Project Description

DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
i) Berth & operational aspects‐
Taking in to consideration the mooring & cargo handling requirements, the berth size of 440 m long & 42.0m
wide will be constructed. This will effectively meet the throughput requirements of initial phase. The width
of proposed berth will easily accommodate mobile cranes & truck movements. Keeping operational
flexibility & future augmentation of equipments for container handling, a provision for Rail Mounted Quary
Crane with a rail spacing of 20.0 m will also be built in.
In initial phase, Gottwald type mobile crane would offer flexibility of handling mixed cargo. Two such cranes
are considered adequate to meet initial phase throughput demands. It is anticipated that food grain would
be exported in bagged from. The movement of cargo from stockyard to berth will be done by truck/trailers.
It is assessed that the container cargo to the extent of 50,000 TEU can only be moved. When Cargo demands
additional facility, the implementation becomes due.
AS per the demand (When Cargo demands additional facility), provision has been made to extent of berth
size of 265 meter long.
2.7 CARGO HANDLING FACILITY:
This section examines the cargo handling facilities that would be required to achieve competitive
loading/unloading rates.
Cargo handling equipment analysis has kept the following things in mind:
1. System Flexibility
2. Receiving operations
3. Handling mode
4. Storage & stock piling operations
5. Transportation modes, by road or railway
EXPORT MATERIALS:

Chapter‐2: Project Description

i) Food Grains:
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
It is expected that Navlakhi will handle 241,000 tonnes by 2014‐15. Moreover this is also not a stable cargo
as it is dependent on monsoon and government policies. Primarily there will be three kinds of food grains
that would be exported; rice, wheat and maize.
The storage area has been kept to accommodate 8% of the annual throughput, which comes to be around
20,000 tonnes in 2014‐15. Typically a shed of length 250m and width 40m stores around 25,000 tonnes.
However since food grain cargo is a highly uncertain cargo, provision has also been made to store excees
cargo or other port driven speculative cargo. Based on this recommendation yard size is 400 m x 40 meter.
ii) Steel:
It is expected that Navlakhi will handle 291,000 tonnes by 2014‐15. There are a few types of steel products
that Navlakhi is likely to handle, a few varieties of steel products like steel coil, steel plates, angles, channels,
Ibeams etc. Provision must be provided at the yard side as well as the jetty side to handle these types of
cargo. The yard layout is proposed to be closer to the railway siding for easy unloading. Steel yard will be an
open yard, with space to accommodate at least one parcel size, i.e 15,000 tonnes. Hence it is recommended
to have a steel yard of dimensions 400m X 40m
iii) Salt:
Navlakhi is expected to handle 662,000 973,000 tonnes of salt by 2014‐15. Salt is most likely to come by
roadways from near by regions, within a radius of 30‐40 kms. Typical parcel size of salt is 25,000 tonnes.
Based on primary interactions with the end users, Salt production is affected due to monsoons. Hence it is
proposed to keep enough storage areas for salt, so that vessels could be fed regularly even if salt is not
coming from the immediate hinterland. Hence it is proposed to allocate 32,000 sq m area of closed storage
for salt. A typical dimension of the salt storage shed is proposed to be 400m X 40m.
Hence in this area, two sheds can be constructed. Salt will arrive in trucks and will be unloaded at the
storage area. Ideally the movement of salt outside the premises should happen in heavy duty dumpers,
failing which, double handling will be required at the need .There will be one pay loader at the storage area
to feed the dumpers going to the jetty.

iv) De‐Oiled Cake:
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
Navlakhi is expected to handle 574,000 tonnes DOC by 2014‐15. DOC will mostly arrive by trucks from the
hinterland in bagged form and will be stacked either manually or with the help of Mobile closed Conveyors
to help the stacking.
Typical parcel sizes for DOC is 12,000 tonnes, hence the storage space should be more than that. DOC bags
can be stacked up to 8/9/10 highs. Typically 12,000 tonnes of DCO will have around 240,000 bags. With a 8
high stacking, the bags on the floor will be 30,000. Given that one bag roughly consumes 0.4 sq m of floor
space, total floor space required shall be around 12,000 square meters. Hence it is proposed to have a space
of 16,000 square meters, i.e. 400mX40m. The excess space has been kept to account for unforeseen spurt in
cargo.
v) Containers:
Storage planning for Container requires detailed analysis as it depends on many factors. In initial phase
about 400 ground slots will be accommodated at the facility with 2 to 3 containers and necessary equipment
will be provided. In initial phase, 10 days dwell time area will be allotted for about 2700 ground slots and
necessary appurtenances.

IMPORT MATERIALS:
i) Coal:
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
Navlakhi is expected to import 7,718,000 tonnes of coal by 20014‐15. It is recommended to use a grab with a
40 tonne rated capacity and a 25 tonne working capacity at 60% efficiency, with the mobile harbour cranes.
Moreover the placement of the crane should be such that at the time of operation the pads of the cranes
should rest on the piles. The jetty is designed for a load of 5 Tonnes/Sq m. Pressure exerted by the mobile
harbour crane is well within this working load.
The total coal that needs to be discharged from the premises is 1.7 MT by 200910 and 2.7 MT by 201415. It
is envisaged that 2 rakes per are required by 200910 and 3 by 201415. Sample calculations reveal rake
loading rates to the tune of 287 tonnes per hour in 200910 and 453 tonnes per hour in 201415
It is envisaged that there would be four pay loaders to handle coal. Two pay loaders shall be needed for
stacking at the yard side, while other two conveyors shall be required for loading of the rakes.
ii) Fertilizer:
Navlakhi is expected to import 689,000 tonnes of fertilizers by 20014‐15. Fertilizers typically come in parcel
sizes of 30,000 tonnes. The most common fertilizers imports consists of DAP, MOP and Urea. Based on the
parcel size and the types of fertilizers expected it is recommended to keep three storage sheds each of
capacity of 30,000 tonnes. Typically to store 30,000 tonnes of fertilizer cargo, it is advised to have a storage
yard of dimensions 400m X 40m. Hence it is proposed to have a 3 storage yards of the same dimensions. It is
recommended to have a import conveyor system in place for discharging fertilizers at a competitive rate.
There will be a twoway diverter to divert the fertilizer to closed storage sheds.
Eco Chem Sales & Service, Surat C2‐25
Chapter‐2: Project Description

iii) Scrap:
DMCC OIL TERMINAL (NAVLAKHI) LIMITED
EIA Report: Construction of Jetty to Handle Multiple Cargo at Navlakhi
Navlakhi is expected to handle 103,000 tonnes of scrap by 2014‐15. Scrap will be unloaded from the vessels
with the mobile harbour cranes fitted with lotus grabs. The scrap shall be unloaded on the jetty and with the
help of pay loaders and dumpers will be ferried across the trestle. It is expected to have one pay loader for
each crane. Typical parcel sizes of scrap are around 30,000 tonnes. Based on this an open yard for 3 acres is
proposed to store the scrap. Hence it is recommended to construct an open yard of dimensions 300m X
40m.
iv) Timber:
Navlakhi is expected to handle 196,000 tonnes of timber by 201415. Timber will be unloaded primarily by
ships gear. It will be a manual process, thus offering slow discharge rates. Moreover due to varying
dimensions of the cargo, a complete mechanization is not possible. Timber will be unloaded into 40 footer
trucks. Thereafter it will be ferried to the open yard. The yard side requires two crawler‐mounted cranes,
one to receive the cargo from the vessels and other to load the forty footer trucks that will carry the timber
outside the premises. Operational efficiency needs to be checked, as two crawler‐mounted cranes are
already available for the scrap. With the parcel size of 10,000 tonnes, it is recommended to have a open
storage yard of dimensions 100m X 40m.
