1.0 SOIL MONITORING

1.1 Soil Monitoring Locations To assess the soil in the area, the physico -chemical characteristics of soils within the study area were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected points and analysis of the same. One soil sample was collected from the project site for studying soil characteristics in the study area, the location of which is listed in Table 1.1.

S. No. Locn. Code Location Name/ Description 1. S1 Project Site

1.2 Methodology of Soil Monitoring It is most essential to obtain a representative sample of soil from an area in any study. A composite sample of an area is normally preferred. The soil sample was collected from the selected site in the month of June-28, 2013 and transported to the laboratory and was spread for air drying. After proper drying of the soil, large stones and other similar objects were removed and the soil was grounded to break up aggregates and crumbs, and tested as per IS 2720 and SMCA.The results are given in Table 1.2.

1.3 Soil Monitoring Results The physico-chemical characteristics of the soil in the study area, as obtained from the analysis of the soil samples, are presented in Table 1.2.

2.0 GROUNDWATER QUALITY MONITORING

2.1 Groundwater Quality Monitoring Locations

Groundwater has been found as an important source for catering to the local needs of water consumption for various purposes, mainly domestic. Keeping in view the importance of groundwater to the local population, one sample of ground water was collected from the study area for the monitoring and assessment of groundwater quality. The location is mentioned in Table 2.1

3.0 AMBIENT AIR QUALITY MONITORING 3.1 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Stations

One sampling stations were set up for monitoring of ambient air quality within the study area. The location of the monitoring station was selected so as to accord an overall idea of the ambient air quality scenario in the study area. The location of the monitoring stations was based on preliminary analysis of the meteorological conditions, particularly predominant/frequent wind directions. Logistic considerations such as accessibility, security, and availability of reliable power supply etc. were examined while finalizing the locations of such stations. The locations of the ambient air quality monitoring stations in the study area are given in Table 3.1.

3.2 Ambient Air Quality Monitoring Methodology

Monitoring was conducted in respect of the following parameters: Particulate Matter (PM 10) Particulate Matter (PM 2.5) Sulphur Dioxide (SO2) Oxides of Nitrogen (NOx) Carbon Monoxide (CO) Respirable Dust Samplers and Fine Dust Samplers have been used to collect samples for PM (10) and PM (2.5) in ambient air at a flow rate of 1.2 m3/min. The ambient air was sucked through the cyclone and filter paper by a blower. Samples of gases were drawn at a flow rate of 0.5 liters per minute and were analyzed in the laboratory.
