3. Workshop

4. Laboratory

5. Vehicle parking area.

The layout of the construction camp is designed in such a way that there will be a

reasonable distance between the offices, residences and Plant area.

The site clearance will be the first step and the trees if any existing in the site will be

taken care and will be left as it is and in case any removal is to be done will be

compensated by planting the additional trees at the boundary or at the selected

location in the camp site. Gardening will be done at residential and at site office.

Topsoil if any will be removed only in the construction area and will be utilized in the

lawn development in the campsite.

Fencing all around the campsite will be done with check post provision in the

entrance there by restricting the camp area as restricted area for the local public.

Source of water supply:

Water required in the construction campsite will be of the following

Domestic use in office and residential colony

In Crushers, Wet Mix Plant, Hot Mix Plant and Batching Plant.

Green belt developing and gardening in and around office area and Residential area.

Domestic Use:

For the domestic usage of water in the office and residential colony the bore well (pH

value) will be driven and the water will be tested for its quality. If existing water resource

is available, this can be utilized. Upon receiving the good quality of bore water the same

will be utilized for the above proposed purpose by providing over head tanks for water

storage and necessary pipe lines for delivery.

5



Date: 23.02. 2011

Page: 1 of 27

Drinking water will be tested seasonally by assuring that there are no physical, chemical

and biological contaminants.

If required suitable treatment will be done for bore water if the raw water is not potable

upon receiving the water test report.

Plant Area:

Water is required for the dust suppression system in Crushers, processing Wet Mix Plant

and Batching Plant.

Water in the existing open well (pH value) if any, will be utilized for this purpose.

Permission from the concerned authorities, if required will be obtained.

Green Belt Development and Gardening:

Open well water will be utilized for developing and for gardening.

Sanitation and Waste Water Treatment:

Offices and residential colony will be constructed with sufficient ventilation and required

numbers of toilets, bathrooms and washbasins. Non Hazardous waste collection bins will

be provided at various locations depending upon the requirements and will be safely

disposed. The residential and office blocks will be situated at reasonable distance from

Plants and Machineries.

Septic tank of adequate capacity will be provided separately for office and residential

colony. The sewage from this septic tank will flow into soak pits there by underground

strata disposal practice. The soak pits and septic tanks will be carefully located so that no

contamination will cause to sources of water.

Wastewater from canteen will be routed through the drainage system.

Since Laboratory proposed in campsite is for material testing the wastewater will be of

only container washings, which will have only little bit of non-hazardous solids. This will

be settled in the grit chamber provided and the clear water will be absorbed to the

wastewater sump. There will no Chemical effluent generation from Laboratory.

Medicare and Sickbay:

A Medical center and sickbay will be established within the base camp with necessary

first aid facilities to treat minor injuries and to provide first aid. Urgent and serious cases

will be referred to the nearest hospital for treatment. Responsible persons will be trained

in the first aid treatment. The first aid boxes will be located in work areas. A separate

vehicle will be made available at any time for Emergency cases. The contact phone no. of

the nearest ambulance service will be displayed within the camp area for easy

accessibility.

Workman safety at site:

Every Workman at site will be provided with necessary PPE’s at site followed by safety

training. The list of PPE is as under:

basis as well as maintenance will be done.

3. BORROW AREA MANAGEMENT:

Land Identification and methodology of operation:

The location where the soil for embankment and constituents for GSB can be obtained is

called borrows land. The widening of the existing road involves both cutting and filling

of earth. Hence the amount of material generated as a result of excavation is enough for

use in filling areas provided the cut material is found suitable.

A layout showing the area with respect to the project area will be prepared.

The area will be identified and will be taken on lease. It may be any government land or

of landowner. The following points will be taken in to consideration while selecting the

land.

Whether the land is high or flat

Distance from the main road

Existing stream or water source.

High lands are highly suitable for the borrow land. On cutting the land will be brought to

the adjacent ground level. The slopes will be trimmed and no vertical cuts will be left in

the borrow lands in order to avoid landslides and soil erosion. In all cases the limits of

8



Date: 23.02. 2011

Page: 1 of 27

borrow areas will be clearly demarcated. The dry lands alone will be used as borrow

lands. The material from the trial pit of the borrow area will be tested and its suitability

with necessary approvals will be obtained.

The Excavators, JCB, Wheel loaders and tippers are the main machineries used in the

borrow areas. All this machineries will be maintained adequately fitted with silencers to

reduce noise levels. The machineries will checked for emission and will be kept within

the limits. Periodical checkups and maintenance will be done.

Location of Borrow Area:

A layout showing borrow areas with respect to the project area will be prepared. Also a

detailed borrows area management and rehabilitation (if required) plan will be prepared.

carried out. Necessary signboards will be displayed wherever required and the traffic

assistants will be posted to regulate the traffic flow.

A friendly atmosphere will be created with the local community and all assistance will

be provided.

Top Soil Management:

Before the commencement of the excavation the topsoil will be stripped and stockpiled

for the future use. This soil will be spread after the completion period incase of high level

borrow areas. The topsoil from the other borrow areas will be utilized in the turfing of

side slopes.

Closure Plan:

The activities carried out in this regard will be as per the direction of the landowner. If it

is desired by the owner that high land be flattened for construction purpose then the land

will be leveled once the extraction of material is complete.

A record of trees cut will be maintained and it will be ensured that suitable compensatory

measures are taken.

A sketch of borrow area, distance from the project road, the area involved and expected

yield and all other relevant details will be attached with every borrow area that is

exploited.

Photographic Records:

Photographs of the area depicting the state of land before and after extraction of material

will be maintained.

4. CONSTRUCTION PLANTS AND DIESEL GENERATOR SETS:

Pollution Control in Stone Crusher:

There is no process waste from the stone-crushing unit. Hence there will be no water

pollution. The dust generated while crushing operation, conveying and at dropping point

will be suppressed by water sprinkling system provided on plant, and will be done at

point starting from the jaw crusher to the dropping point. Due to water sprinkling, weight

of dust particles get increased and will not fly in air. Water required for sprinkling

purpose will be drawn from the available sources nearby, to the overhead water tank for

continuous operation.

Pollution Control in Wet Mix Macadam Plant:

The total operation in the Wet Mix Macadam Plant is wet operation so there will not be

any air pollution. This operation will not generate any process wastewater also.

Pollution Control in Hot Mix Macadam Plant:

This operation has no process wastewater. Due to application of high flame at high speed

the dust particles in aggregates may come out in air vent. This is controlled by providing

dust collector and bag filter. The dust collector reduces the velocity and makes the

heavier particles to get settled down and this outlet air is passed through bag filter. For

12



Date: 23.02. 2011

Page: 1 of 27

periodic replacement of the bag filters maintenance schedule will be drafted in

consultation with the Engineer in-charge and schedule will be displayed.

Pollution Control in Batching Plant:

In Batching plants the cement will be stored in silos and will be conveyed in pipes using

screw pumps. Hence there is no possibility of spreading in air. Water sprinkling

arrangement will be provided at the conveyance and the drop point there by suppressing

the dust spreading. The wastewater generated while mixing drum cleaning and the

concrete transit containers will be allowed to pass in the settling tank and filtered in the

sand bed. Water sprinkling will be done for dust suppression

Waste from Construction Plants:

The process waste generated in the construction plant is stone dust. This dust is utilized in

Wet Mix Macadam Plant and if in excess it may be utilized for landfill. This will be

mechanically handled for collection and conveyance.

Pollution Control in DG Sets.

The DG sets used on site/work will comply with all legal requirements. Operating

permits will be obtained from the concerned authorities prior to use. The DG sets will be

maintained in accordance with manufacturer’s recommendation/instructions to ensure full

serviceability and with a view to cause least emission to the atmosphere.

The following DG sets will be provided in the camp site (the list will be completed by the

Plant & Maintenance Department in coordination with project management).

Ambient Air Monitoring

We shall undertake environmental monitoring in term of Ambient Air Monitoring for the

determination of suspended particulate matter. The air quality monitoring procedure shall

be establish to monitor the impact on air quality and measures to control air pollution

including dust suppression of activities that will cause degradation in air quality,

environmental procedures to manage pollutants, monitoring programme, record keeping

and reporting.

The main pollutants, which will come out from different road construction activities,

would be Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Noise pollution from different earth

moving equipments and generator sets.

14



Date: 23.02. 2011

Page: 1 of 27

The ambient air quality will be monitored twice in a week at require locations and the

level of pollutants in the air will check. The emission from the generator sets and the Hot

Mix Plant will also be monitored at two locations 8 hrs sample / Day every season and

level will be checked and improvements if any required will be done. All the vehicles

used in the project will be tested for emission and the Administration and CPE

departments will maintain the certificate of fitness.

Third party will do all the emission testing and the copies of the results will be

maintained in the site Safety Dept. The schedule of maintenance of plants, equipments

and machineries will be drafted in consultation with the technical person in charge and

the schedule will be adhered. The CPE Dept. will do periodical review of the

maintenance works completed, once in three month. If any deviation observed, root cause

will be identified and the required remedial measures will be taken.

Mitigation Measures

Transport of material from one place to another creates air pollution, which degrades the

atmosphere of the area. To minimize pollution precaution are taken to minimize visible

particulate matter from being deposited upon roadways. It includes removal of particulate

matter from equipment and cleaning of dust / mud and deposit of material on public place

by routine sweeping work.

Control requirement at road construction site:

The dumping material shall be placed in a manner that will minimize dust production.

Material shall be stabilized by watering or other accepted dust suppression techniques.

The height from which material dropped shall be the minimum practical height to limit

the fugitive dust emission. Stock piled, sand and aggregates use in concrete

manufacturing and construction work should be piled with suitable slopes and if required

it will be enclosed on three sides with suitable barricading. Cement will be stored

separately in cement godown. Water sprinklers shall be provided as required to control

15



Date: 23.02. 2011

Page: 1 of 27

and suppress dust during handling of excavation, debris and or during demolition. During

dry weather, dust control methods shall be used daily especially on windy, dry days to

prevent any dust from blowing.

Monitoring of SPM:

The impacts of fugitive dust as ambient air pollution depends on quantity generated as

well as drift potential of dust particles injected into atmosphere. Larger particles will

settle down but smaller particles will drift away. SPM levels will be monitored to check

dust impact during construction phase.

Methodology:

The samples will be collected with the help of High Volume Dust Sampler using standard

methods on pre weighted GFA filter paper at a rate of 1:1 m3/minute for 24 hours and

SPM will be monitored by suitable placement of High Volume Sampler at various

locations at the site. Air monitoring shall be carried out forth nightly at each location.

Presentation and Interpretation of results:

The results will be reported on the basis of 24 hours and will be presented as g/m3.

These results will be compared with National Ambient Air Quality standards. The results

will be recorded and mitigation measures will be taken for control of air pollution.

Bituminous waste filter:

The Hot Mix Plant has inbuilt air bag filter system to prevent dust generation during

heating of the aggregates, mixing of aggregates with bitumen. The bag filter will have

auto arrangements for cleaning dust stocked in bags. The dust will be recycled as fines in

the process. Waste generated from the Hot Mix Plant will be used in developing the roads

inside of the construction camp or the approach road to the construction camp. The waste

will also be used for filling potholes in adjacent rural roads.

Damage Pre cast:

The damage pre cast material will be collected in the designated area and disposed of in

the disposal areas. The excess concrete will be utilized for the activities such as safety

pillars construction etc;

During site clearing the soil of approximate depth of 150mm or as per the instruction of

the technical person in charge will be removed. The stripped topsoil will be transported

using tippers to designated areas and stocked. This material will be used for turfing of

side slopes or used to cover the waste dumping area.

The material below the topsoil will be excavated for the construction activity. This

excavated material will be stocked and used in the construction if find suitable. This

material can be used for basement filling in case of building construction and can be

reapplied as fill material in road in case of roadwork. The used material will be disposed

for landfill in adjacent low lying areas.

Maintenance of Waste Records:

Register will be maintained for recording the details of the waste generated and their

disposal. These records will be kept ready for inspection for the authorized agencies.

Suggestion and complaints of these agencies during their visits will be recorded in

register. Record of septic tank cleaning will be maintained on site for reference. The

details of these agencies will be reflected in the monthly report as and when they have

been finalized.

Disposal of Waste:

All the non hazardous waste will be disposed as per the method given in the EMP. The

hazardous wastes will be disposed to the authorized agencies after verifying their permits.
