The Karnataka State Environmental
Impact Assessment Authority under a public notice has brought to the notice of the
public that the Ministry of Environment & Forests, Government of India has issuedEnvironmental Impact Assessment Notification dated 14.9.2006 for according Environmental
Clearance to 8 category of industries and projects by the Ministry of Environment
& Forests, Government of India and by a State level Environment Impact AssessmentAuthority constituted by the Government of India on the recommendations made by
the State Governments. The eight categories of industries/projects requiring environment
clearance are further categorized into A and B. The central government has decentralized
the entire process of environment clearance by creating an independent state level
Environment Impact Assessment Authority for category B industries Schedule to Environmental
Impact Assessment notification, 2006 give details of 8 category or A and B industries.
According to this, under category 8(a) the building and construction projects with
built up area of the size measuring between 20,000 sq. meters. & 1,50,000 sq.mtrs.
requires clearance from the Environmental Impact Assessment Authority. The following
are some of the requirements to be fulfilled by the developers under the notification.
All required
sanitary and hygienic measures should be in place before starting construction activities
and to be maintained throughout the construction. A first aid room will be providedin the project both during construction and operation of the project.
Adequate drinking water and
sanitary facilities should be provided for construction workers at the site. Thesafe disposal of wastewater and solid wastes generated during the construction phase
should be ensured.
All the top soil excavated
during construction activities should be stored for use in horticulture/ landscape
development within the project site.
Construction
spoils, including bituminous material and other hazardous materials, must not be
allowed to contaminate water courses and the dump sites for such material must
be secured so that they should not leach into the ground water. The dieselgenerator sets to be used during construction phase should be low sculpture diesel
type and should conform of E(P) rules prescribed for air and noise emission standards.
Vehicles
hired for bringing construction material to the site should be in good condition
and should conform to applicable air and noise emission standards and should be
operated only during non-peak hours.
Ambient
noise levels should conform to residential standards both during day and night.
Incremental pollution loads on the ambient air and noise quality should be closely
monitored during construction phase.
Storm
water control and its re-use as per CGWB and BIS standards for various applications.
Water
demand during construction should be reduced by use of pre-mixed concrete, curing
agents and other best practices referred.
Separation
of grey and black water should be done by the use of dual plumbing line for separation
of grey and black water. Treatment of Separation of grey and black water should
be done by the use of dual plumbing line for separation of grey and black water.
Treatment of HN Fixtures for showers, toilet flushing and drinking should be of
low flow either by use of aerators or pressure reducing devices or sensor based
control.
Use of
glass may be reduced by up to 40% to reduce the electricity consumption and load
on air conditioning. If necessary, use high quality double glass with special reflective
coating in windows.
The installation
of the Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) should be certified by an independent expert
and a report in this regard should be submitted to the Ministry before the project
is commissioned for operation. Discharge of treated sewage shall conform to the
norms and standards of the State Pollution Control Board. Ground water should
not be recharged from treated effluent.
Rain
water harvesting for roof run-off and surface run-off, should be implemented. Before
recharging the surface run off, pretreatment must be done to remove suspended matter,
oil and grease. Rain water harvesting pit should be at least 50 meters away from
STP the solid waste generated should be properly collected and segregated before
disposal to the City Municipal Facility. The In-vessel bio-conversion technique
should be used for composting the organic waste.
Any hazardous
waste including biomedical waste should be disposed of as per applicable rules and
norms with necessary approvals of the State Pollution Control Board.
The green
belt design along the periphery of the plot shall achieve attenuation factor conforming
to the day and night noise standards prescribed for residential land use. The openspaces inside the plot should be suitably landscaped and covered with vegetation
of indigenous variety.
Incremental pollution
loads on the ambient air quality, noise and water quality should be periodically
monitored after commissioning of the project.
Incremental pollution
loads on the ambient air quality, noise and water quality should be periodically
monitored after commissioning of the project.
Traffic congestion near
the entry and exit points from the roads adjoining the proposed project site must
be avoided. Parking should be fully internalized and no public space should be utilized.
A report on the energy conservation
measure confirming to energy conservation norms finalize by Bureau of Energy Efficiency
should be prepared incorporating details about building materials and technology,
R & U factors etc., and submit to the
Ministry for approval.
In the
case of any change(s) in the scope of the project, the project would require a
fresh appraisal by this Ministry.
The Ministry
reserves the right to add additional safeguard measures subsequently, if found necessary,
and to take action including revoking of the environment clearance under the provisions
of the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986, to ensure effective implementation of
the suggested safeguard measures in a The project proponent should advertise in
at least two local Newspapers widely circulated in the region, one of which shall
be in the vernacular language informing that the project has been accorded environmental
clearance and copies of clearance letters are available with the State Pollution
Control Board time bound and satisfactory manner. Environmental clearance is subject
to obtaining clearance under the Wildlife (Protection) Act, 1972 from the
competent authority.
