TERMS OF REFERENCE
Objective of the EIA study
M/s. Persipina Developers Pvt. Ltd. SEZ is proposing development of expansion of Persipina
Specific Economic Zone (SEZ) (Hiranandani Fortune City) at Panvel, Maharashtra. The
project was awarded environmental clearance in Oct 2008 vide letter No. No.21-942/2007-
IA.III, for development of plot area of 13, 51,193.65 sq. m. and built up area of 44, 82,711.0
sq. m. The environmental clearance was extended further for 5 year in March 2015 vide letter
No. SEIAA-2015/CR.25/TC-3. Now the project is planned for expansion under one or
combination of policies like IITT (Integrated IT Township) / MIDC/ IIT (Integrated
Industrial Township) / NAINA (Navi Mumbai Airport Influence Notified Area) / MSRDC.
At present the project is planned as per MIDC DCR. The plot area will be 605.1 acres with
total built-up area 56, 95,283.97 sq. m. for which this application is submitted for amendment
in previous environmental clearance.
As per the EIA Notification 14th Sept 2006 and its subsequent amendments, the Townships
and Area Development projects covering an area ≥ 50 ha and or built up area ≥1, 50,000 sq.
m. requires Environmental Impact Assessment Study, hence this Terms of Reference (ToR) is
being proposed to carry out the environmental impact assessment of proposed development in
the surrounding areas. The study area being considered for the EIA study is 10 km from the
project site. The map of the study area is attached as Annexure I.

Meteorology: As a part of the EIA study, a micro‐meteorological data was collected from
Met station set up in October 2015 at project site. The parameters include wind speed, wind
direction, temperature, and relative humidity. The collected data will be used for preparation
of wind rose diagrams and air quality modelling.
Ambient Air Quality: An ambient air quality monitoring network is designed for assessment
of the baseline status of ambient air quality. The monitoring was conducted at 8 locations
including project site from October, November and December for 8 weeks to cover Post-
Monsoon season for following parameters:
PM10
PM 2.5
Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
Nitrogen Oxide (NOx)
Carbon Monoxide
Hg
The frequency of sampling was twice a week for 8 consecutive weeks. Ambient air quality
monitoring was conducted for one season. The sampling stations were selected based on the
predominant wind direction of the area and cover upwind, downwind and cross wind
directions.
Noise: Equivalent continuous noise level (Leq) in and around the project area is monitored at
8 locations including project site. Construction equipment and road traffic are expected to be
the key sources of noise. Baseline data of noise at the project area and the neighbourhood
habitat areas is ascertained. Daytime and night time data was collected for 24 hr once in a
season.
Land use: The information on land use pattern will be collected from the available data. The
land is situated in Green & Urbanizable (U1) zone as per regional Development Plans of
Raigad. The details regard to soil type and characteristics, Physical and chemical
characteristic of soil is analyzed through 3 samples collected in project area.
Water Quality: Baseline water quality from sources such as 4 ground water samples and 3
surface water samples are analyzed and will be compared to the water quality norms
prescribed for drinking water.
Biological Environment: As a part of the study the information on the following is collected
through field visit, Gazetteer of district, forest department and revenue offices:
Data on the availability of various floral and faunal species in the study area
Inventory of major species of trees, herbs, shrubs and timber trees on site
List of economically important plants, if any
Presence of rare and endangered species, if any

6 ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING PROGRAM
An environmental monitoring program is required to provide scientifically defensible
information for determining the status of the environmental quality of the surrounding area of
the project site and to check whether the levels of critical pollutants are within the
environmentally acceptable limits. This will help to obtain an early warning of unacceptable
environmental conditions so that control measures can be taken immediately. It also helps to
determine in a timely fashion, changes in the local environmental quality.
Environmental monitoring shall comprise checking:
Appropriate permits, certificates, authorizations and
Compliance with EMP and governmental regulations
This can be ensured through use of checklists for:
Site establishment
Monthly Audit
Site closure
The purpose of environmental monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation
of Environmental Management Plan (EMP) by periodically monitoring the important

timely action can be taken.
Based on the guidelines issued by pollution control, client will finalize the monitoring
protocol and location for monitoring ambient air quality, noise levels, groundwater quality,
etc. in accordance with monitoring schedule. A suggested monitoring protocol, based on the
predicted impacts, is given in Table 6.
