1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a
contour map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site).
No natural drainage lies in the vicinity of the Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital. The river
Baghmati is at a distance of 1.65 km towards West direction from the project site.
1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-cutting,
filling, reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport
of fill materials from outside the site etc?)
During Construction phase, excavation will be carried out to provide foundations and for
establishing the pillar. This excavated soil will be properly stacked within the site under
tarpaulin cover. The filling works will be done by the excavated material and no extra
material will be used. All the topsoil excavated during construction activities is being stored
for use in horticulture/landscape development within the project site.
1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the construction
period.
Water Supply:
Water required during the construction period will be supplied through private water tanker.
It is estimated that water demand during the construction phase may be approx. 24 KLD.
Water will be used in the construction activity for cement mixing, sprinkling, dust
suppression and domestic purposes of the construction workers.
Waste Generation/Handling:
Sewage: The existing sewerage collection facilities comprising of toilets and urinals shall be
used by the construction workers and staff involved. No additional sewage shall be generated
which has to be separately disposed of.
Construction waste: No demolition waste shall be generated. The solid waste generated
during the construction phase like metal cutting. Debris, plastic material and wooden log etc.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 7 of 71
will be collected and stored in a separate covered area so as to prevent damage to property
and personnel working at the project site. Further, most of the construction debris will be
used for filling activities and the rest is being disposed of through authorized recyclers.
The excavated soil will be used on site for the development of green belt and leveling of the
plot.
The waste generated during the construction activities is limited to project site only and
during construction phase only. These will be reused for backfilling and road development
after manual segregation. This waste shall be utilized for construction of roads.
Major types of construction wastes are expected from the proposed Project: -
Clean Fills:
Clean fill is uncontaminated soil, rock, sand, gravel, concrete, asphaltic concrete, cinder
blocks brick, minimal amounts of wood and metal and inert (non-reactive) solids for fill,
reclamation or other beneficial use. Minimal means the smallest amount possible.
Recovered Materials
Recovered Materials are those removed for reuse (lumber, doors, windows, ceramic tile
and glass) and those removed to be recycled into new products. Potentially recyclable
construction and demolition wastes will include scrap metals, asphalt shingles, sheet
rock, lumber, glass and electrical wire.
Regulated construction and demolition waste
Regulated construction and demolition wastes are those not classified as clean fill and not
being reused or recycled. Regulated non-hazardous construction and demolition wastes
will be disposed of at a permitted landfill or transfer station.
Scrap metal painted with heavy metals will be sent to a salvage yard for recycling.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 8 of 71
Conclusively, it can be stated that impacts may be confined to small area (mainly to project
site) and for short duration. Construction waste will be reused; disposal of non-reusable
waste will be done through authorized vendors/recyclables.

1.8 Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and
wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity).
Sewage generated will be treated in the onsite STP. Hence, no low lying areas will get altered.
1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give
quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the
construction labor and the means of disposal).
No significant health hazard is associated with the proposed construction.
During construction period, source of fugitive dust generation is from material handling and
vehicular movement. Impact due to fugitive dust emission shall be negligible as water
sprinklers are being used to suppress fugitive dust emission as and when generate. However,
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 11 of 71
the impacts are confined to laborers/workers particularly with regard to occupational
exposure. Proper Personal Protective Equipment’s have been provided to the workers
working in the potential areas (e.g. masks, ear plugs etc.).
Careful design, planning and good site management has minimized waste of materials such
as concrete, mortars and cement grouts. Construction wastes are being segregated as much as
possible at site itself to increase the feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling
material and steel pieces as saleable scrap. Litter disposal and collection points have been
established around the work sites. Empty packaging materials, drums, glass, tin, paper,
plastic, pet bottles, wood, and other packaging materials, etc are being disposed through
recyclers. The construction spoils are being temporarily stored at designated dumpsite
located inside the site premises. Later on these wastes will be used for land filling / leveling
work within the site premises.

2.6. What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the proposed
activity? (Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater generated from the
proposed activity).
During the operational phase, 1289 KLD waste water will be generated which will be treated in
the STP/ ETP.
The waste water generated will be treated in the Sewage Treatment Plant, and the capacity of
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) will be higher of waste water generated i.e. 1450 KLD and 100
KLD ETP. The proposed STP shall be based on Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR).
The waste water generation is given in Table-5. Table-6 shows expected characteristic of
untreated and treated wastewater.

The waste water generation will be about 1289 KLD. After treatment in STP approx. 1450 KLD
and 100 KLD ETP will be available for reuse, which will be used for flushing, horticulture,
HVAC.
2.7. Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the
facilities created.
(i) Rainwater Collection Potential for Reuse or Recharging
Due to high ground water table, it is not feasible to provide the rain water recharge pits for
aquifer recharging but there will be provision of the water sump for the collection of roof top
rain water and it will be further used for miscellaneous purposes. The rainwater runoff from the
roofs shall be transported through underground pipes to water sumps structures & surface
rainwater shall naturally percolate in the underground aquifer through natural filtration.
2.8. What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project
on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post
construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or
water logging in any way?
There will not be such impact as the proposed project will be developed on a land base which
is for “Hospital” purpose.
As the project site is almost plain land and the topography of the site is not anticipated to
change due to the project activities, hence, no impacts are expected on the drainage profile or
runoff characteristics after construction phase.
A network of storm water drain is proposed all along the direction along the main roads and
cross roads of suitable area size. All storm water drains will be covered with RC slabs so as to
prevent the entry of soil and dust. Storm water collected through storm water drains and
discharged into existing Storm Water Drains. Storm water drains will be constructed on all
the edges of roads.

2.9. What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the runoff from construction activities
polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the
adverse impacts)
The construction shall be taken up on a piece of land within the existing Hospital facility which
is enclosed from all side. As such there shall not be major impact due to the runoff from
construction activities. However, a channel shall be prepared to collect the surface runoff during
rains to collect at a place which shall be disposed of to existing storm water drain.
In operation phase most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested for ground water
recharge. Thus proper management of this resource must be ensured so that it is free of
contamination. A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider
the sources of storm water. The plan will incorporate best management practices which will
include the following:
Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.
Installation of clarifiers or Oil/Water separators system of adequate capacity around
parking areas and garages as per requirement.
Cover waste storage areas.
Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.
Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness.
Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.
Provision of silt traps in storm water drains.
Good housekeeping in the above areas.
Precautions /Measures Taken to Prevent the Run-Off from Construction Activities
Domestic Wastewater from Toilets: Additional generation of sewage is not envisaged to be
treated and disposed of separately. Existing sewage line with toilet facilities shall be used by
then involved construction workers and staff.
Site Development and Construction: The wastewater generation during site development
and construction mainly includes the storm water run-off from the construction areas,
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 25 of 71
stockpiles of construction materials and wastes, etc. mainly containing high suspended solids
(SS), in case these activities are undertaken during rainy season.
2.10. How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid
flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout
indication contour levels).
Most of the storm water will be managed through water sump for the collection of roof top rain
water and it will be further used for miscellaneous purposes. The storm water management plan
will include practices as stated in point 2.7.
2.11. Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to
unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).
No it shall not lead to unsanitary conditions. Additional generation of sewage is not envisaged to
be treated and disposed of separately. Existing sewage line with toilet facilities shall be used by
then involved construction workers and staff.
2.12. What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage?
(Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with
technology & facilities for recycling and disposal).
The capacity of Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) for the treatment of wastewater generation from
the project will be higher i.e. 1450 KLD and 100 KLD ETP. The proposed STP shall be based on
MBBR technology.
Moving Bed Biofilm Reactor (MBBR)
MBBR technology employs thousands of polyethylene biofilm carriers operating in mixed
motion within an aerated wastewater treatment basin. Each individual biocarrier increases
productivity through providing protected surface area to support the growth of heterotrophic and
autotrophic bacteria within its cells. It is this high-density population of bacteria that achieves
high-rate biodegradation within the system, while also offering process reliability and ease of
operation. Additionally, the biofilm attached to the mobile biocarriers within the system
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 26 of 71
automatically responds to load fluctuations. The carrier elements are continuously kept in
suspension by either a mixer or an aeration system. The agitation pattern in the reactor is
designed to provide an upward movement of the carriers across the surface of the retention
screen which creates a scrubbing effect to prevent clogging. Coarse bubble and jet aeration are
typically used to provide oxygen for an aerobic reactor.
The MBBR is a complete mix, continuous flow through process which combines the benefits of
fixed film and suspended growth processes.
The process can either be used as a 1) pre-treatment system ahead of an existing activated sludge
system for increased organic matter removal, 2) standalone biological treatment process for BOD
removal, nitrification and/or denitrification or 3) a retrofit of an existing activated sludge
processes to help increase overall nitrification capacity of the existing system.
Benefits include increased treatment capacity, improved settling characteristics, enhanced
process stability, and reduced sludge production. This technology provides cost-effective
treatment with minimal maintenance since MBBR processes self-maintain an optimum level of
productive biofilm.

3.3. What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important
site features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water
bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale?)
The following steps were taken to minimize the likely impacts on the surrounding environment.
As per the Forest Conservation Act, 1980. The compensatory afforestation plan will be
prepared, if required for the recovery of greenery loss due to construction activities.
The Green Belt is proposed for clean, healthy and beautiful green environment for the
people to live in and work in.
Within the proposed project site green belt to be developed by plantation of various
species of plants, shrubs to create a clean, healthy and aesthetic environment that
provides a visual retreat and relaxation to the occupants of the project. A combination of
evergreen trees and ornamental flowering trees and shrubs is used in the project site.
The plantation arrangement would be based on optimal use of available land and
quantum of irrigation water and treated waste water.
The capability of plants to act as a sink for air contaminants has been addressed by a
number of reviews. Various studies indicate that the surface of vegetation provides a
major filtration and reaction surface to the atmosphere for removing pollutants from the
atmosphere. Therefore, the green belt is essential feature of any developmental project
because it acts as a pollution cleaning region, improvement of the aesthetic value of the
project and a noise buffer.
The procedure for tree felling and forest land diversion (if evolved) to be minimize or
issue to addressed as per the guidelines of the Forest (Conservation) Act, 1980.
4. FAUNA

barriers for their movement? Provide the details.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 29 of 71
The proposed expansion is within the premises of the existing hospital. So, there will not be any
type of displacement or any other effect on the local fauna due to proposed project activities.
4.2. Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.
The following impacts to be observed after completion of the project.
After green belt development, the planted trees and shrubs will provide shelters and shed
especially to the birds and other domesticated animals and human being.
Within the proposed project site, proper landscaping has been planned to provide a clean,
healthy, and beautiful green environment for the people to live and work in.
The common native variety of trees and ornamental flowering species will be planted in
the green space.
The vibration raised during construction will affect the movement of birds during day
time.
The monitoring to be done for regular checkup of the pollution raised by construction
activities. That should not above the prescribed limit as per CPCB norms.
4.3. Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse impacts on
fauna.
These measures are not applicable for this project.
5. AIR ENVIRONMENT
5.1. Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give
details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models
taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed
constructions)
Increased traffic generation due to proposed project is not going to cause significant increase in
atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in island formation.
5.2. What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous
gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 30 of 71
Construction Phase:
During construction phase there is increased generation of dust and smoke from the background
levels.
There is no activity associated with generation of odorous fumes and any hazardous gases during
construction phase.
The main sources of dust generation are land clearing, drilling, ground excavation, cut and fill
operations (i.e., earth moving), and construction of a particular facility. A large portion of the
dust emissions results from equipment traffic over temporary roads at the construction site.
Measures taken during Transport and Handling of Materials during Construction
The transport and handling of materials during construction has potential impacts on air quality
in the vicinity. Thus the following mitigation measures are being adopted to minimize the
impacts.
Air Emissions
Dust Suppression: The most cost-effective dust suppressant applied to mitigate airborne
dust is water, because of its efficiency as well as ready availability on the construction site.
Water shall be applied using handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Water spray
at the work site also effectively suppresses dust generated. Results have proven that for about
80% of such active area(s), the water spray suppresses airborne dust by about >90%.

Emission Control for Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Construction equipment and
heavy transport vehicles meet emission standards like Bharat Stage - IV requirements for
vehicles. The operation and maintenance of all vehicles, equipments deployed on site by
different contractors are being regulated and effectively monitored. The Pollution under
Control (PUC) certification is being ensured for proper O&M of vehicles.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 32 of 71
Improved Maintenance: Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved
through regular equipment and vehicle maintenance, all site contractors have been asked to
take necessary steps for proper maintenance of vehicle and equipments. A monetary
incentive/ disincentive provision encourages contractors to comply with regular maintenance
requirements. The fuel used in the equipments, and vehicles is of good quality with low
“Sulphur” percentage by following the norms prevailing in project area.
Reduction of On-site Construction Time: The heavy construction activities are being
confined to the daytime to avoid higher impacts during the nighttime. During daytime, there
is higher atmospheric dilution. Rapid on-site construction reduces the duration of traffic
interference and therefore, reduces emissions from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of
various moulded structural components, obtaining proper cut size of stone, pre-fabricated
concrete slabs, etc. also enhance the quality of work environment at the construction site
because other factors such as traffic congestion and emissions are then not relevant.
Barrier around the Site: Besides the project site is enclosed by about 2.5 m high temporary
barrier during the whole construction period so that the spread of dust to the neighborhood
shall be restricted.
Operation Phase:
The land use of the site is designed to have open areas covered with either soft or hard landscape
and paved areas (roads and pedestrian walkways). This will mitigate dust emissions in any
meteorological conditions.
5.3. Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the
present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement
including the traffic management at the entry & exit to the project site.
No, the project will not create shortage of parking space for the vehicle.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 33 of 71
5.4. Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks, pedestrian
pathways, footpaths etc., with areas under each category.
Internal road width of 9 meters is proposed for internal traffic management.
5.5. Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources
and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.
Sources of traffic noise & vibrations in construction phase:
Construction vehicles (Majorly Trucks & JCBs, Road rollers etc.)
The trucks carrying materials such as concrete bags, construction debris etc. is being serviced
regularly and there is speed limit for all the vehicles moving within the project site. Proper
maintenance of the internal roads is being carried out, encourage vehicle owners to not to blow
horns. The movement of vehicles has been restricted to day time so as to reduce the disturbances
in nearby areas of project site during night.
Sources of traffic noise in operation phase:
Light motor vehicles & 2-wheelers
There will be negligible effect of vibration from movement of light vehicles and 2 wheelers.
To mitigate the noise effects vehicle owners will be encouraged for regular checks of their
vehicles.
Moreover the effect of noise will be further minimized by plantation on the sides of internal
roads, on the open spaces inside and around the periphery of whole project site.
5.6. What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels & vibration in &
ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.
In case of power failure, 5 DG sets of total capacity of 7500 KVA (5*1500) will be provided as
power back-up for the expansion buildings. The DG sets will be of water cooled.
Calculation of DG Stack Height:

Impact of D.G. sets on noise & vibration and mitigation measures to be adopted in
construction and operational phase:
D.G. sets if not enclosed in acoustic enclosures will contribute to significant increase in noise
levels at the project site.
However the D.G. sets used during construction and operation phase will be enclosed in an
acoustic enclosure to reduce the noise. The DG sets foundation will comprise of heavy weight
inertia concrete block. The generator will be mounted on Cushy Foot mounting and the concrete
block will be isolated from the adjoining floor. Thus no vibration impacts are expected from the
DG sets.
The D.G. sets will be checked for noise every 6 months.
The noise level of DG sets will be maximum 75dB (A) (at 1.0 m distance) & the insertion loss
will be maintained at minimum 25 db as per the prescribed compliance standards of the MoEF
{Noise pollution (regulation & control) (Amendment) rule 2010}.
Impact of D.G. sets on ambient air quality and mitigation measures to be adopted:
The D.G. Set emission consist of following pollutants
1. Hydrocarbon+ NOx
2. Carbon Monoxide (CO)
3. Particulate Matter (PM)
4. Smoke
If unchecked the emissions from D.G sets will increase the concentration of above mentioned
pollutants in the atmosphere. To mitigate the polluting effects of D.G. sets following mitigation
measures will be taken,
A. Use of High Speed Diesel as a fuel to run D.G. sets

These construction materials will be procured from the reputed suppliers/manufacturers and
thus it is expected that they are produced with energy efficient processes. Most of the quality
grade building material production facilities and industries now use energy efficient
processes.
All the items to be used in the proposed project will be as per the National Building Code
specification. If the building materials with high-embodied energy are locally available, it
will be used in construction.
8.2. Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in pollution, noise &
public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?
The transport and handling of materials during construction phase has potential impacts on air
and noise emissions in the vicinity. To control this, various mitigation measures shall be adopted
to minimize the impacts.
Air Emissions
Dust Suppression: The most cost-effective dust suppressant applied to mitigate airborne dust is
water, because of its efficiency as well as ready availability on the construction site. Water is
being applied using water trucks, handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Water
spraying at the site also effectively suppresses dust generated. Results have proven that for about
80% of such active area(s), the water spray suppresses airborne dust by about >90%.
Emission Control for Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Construction equipment and heavy
transport vehicles meet emission standards like Bharat Stage - IV requirements for vehicles. The
operation and maintenance of all vehicles, equipments to be deployed on site by different
contractors shall be regulated and effectively monitored. The Pollution under Control (PUC)
certification are being ensured for proper O&M of vehicles.
Improved Maintenance: Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved
through regular equipment and vehicle maintenance, all site contractors have been asked to take
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar

necessary steps for proper maintenance of vehicle and equipments. A monetary incentive/
disincentive provision encourages contractors to comply with regular maintenance requirements.
The fuel to be used in the equipments and vehicles shall be of good quality with low “Sulphur”
percentage by following the norms prevailing in project area.
Reduction of On-site Construction Time: The heavy construction activities are being confined
to the daytime to avoid higher impacts during the nighttime. During daytime, there is higher
atmospheric dilution. Rapid on-site construction reduces the duration of traffic interference and
therefore, reduces emissions from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of various moulded structural
components, obtaining proper cut size of stone, pre-fabricated concrete slabs, etc. shall also
enhance the quality of work environment at the construction site because other factors such as
traffic congestion and emissions are then not relevant.
Noise Emissions
The mitigation measures concerning technological control at source (of vehicles) shall meet
the minimum compliance requirements for manufacturing stage. Besides these, other
measures shall be of preventive nature as follows:
Restriction of Time of Construction: The heavy construction and transport activities are
being restricted to daytime operation when the background noise levels are high so that
impacts like sleep disturbance during the night time are avoided.
Provision of Noise Barrier: No extra barrier has been provided because it is within the
premises of the project site.
Proper Maintenance of Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Proper operation and
maintenance of heavy equipment as well as transport vehicles are being ensured for lower
noise emissions.
Occupational & Passive Protection: Ear plugs, ear muffs, etc. have been provided to
workers handling high noise equipment or stone cutting operations shall protect them from
high noise exposure.
8.3. Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of savings achieved?
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 41 of 71
Fly ash used materials would be utilized for paving work etc, if viable. Also, the construction
waste (particularly the construction debris) will be used on the project site for leveling purposes.

Passive Solar Design Considerations
Following are the consideration adopted for passive solar design of the buildings in the proposed
project:
Maximum openings would be towards the north to get natural light that will not unduly heat
up the interiors.
Least opening would be provided towards southern and western walls so as to cut out the hot
incident rays of the sun.
Windows provided would be shaded adequately by designing double layer glass glazing so
that no direct rays of sun can come into the building.
Most of the external surface of the building will be designed in a way to have an air gap between
the wall surface and the external skin. This should reduce the transmission of heat into the
building as the heat would get dissipated into the air gap to an extent.
As an endnote, the design has been a conscious effort to make a modern building with local
materials and will not use excessive amount of glass and steel.
9.2 What type of, and capacity of, power back-up to you plan to provide?
In case of power failure, 5 DG sets of total capacity of 7500 KVA (5*1500) in buildings will be
provided as power back-up. The DG sets will be of water cooled.
The DG sets will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Adequate stack heights of D.G. Sets will
be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to
facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases.
9.3. What are the characteristics of the glass you plan to use? Provide specifications of its
characteristics related to both short wave and long wave radiation?
Glass panel will have maximum light transmission but low solar heat radiation. This will reduce
quantity of heat inflow into the building. Single pane glass of 0.25 inches thickness with visible
transmittance up to 85% day lighting may be used.

9.4. What passive solar architectural features are being used in the building? Illustrate the
applications made in the proposed project.
Passive solar design in Architecture: Solar design is the use of architectural features to replace
the use of grid electricity and fossil fuel with the use of solar energy and decrease the energy
needed in a home or building with insulation and efficient lighting and appliances.
Architectural features used in solar design includes:
Large south facing windows and minimum north-facing glazing.
Use of materials with high thermal masses such as walls or roofs that absorbs and hold
the sun’s heat. Materials with high specific heat capacities, like stone, concrete, adobe or
water work bests.
Insulation to reduce heat loss
Sunspaces such as conservatories on south-facing elevations. These collect heat which
can be distributed throughout the building and reduce heat losses by creating thermal
buffer.
Insulating shutters for windows to be closed at night and on overcast days. These trap the
solar heat in the building.
Planting deciduous trees near the windows. The leaves will give shade in summer but
falls in winter to let the sunlight enter the building.
9.5. Does the layout of streets & buildings maximize the potential for solar energy devices?
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 49 of 71
Have you considered the use of street lighting, emergency lighting and solar hot water
systems for use in the building complex? Substantiate with details.
Yes, the streets and building is designed to maximize the potential of solar energy devices.
9.6. Is shading effectively used to reduce cooling/heating loads? What principles have been used
to maximize the shading of Walls on the East and the West and the Roof? How much
energy saving has been effected?
Yes. Shading has been effectively used to reduce the cooling loads. The following techniques
have been adopted:
For walls on the east and west side of the building a maximum of 10% window to wall
ratio is recommend to minimize solar radiations, which further helps minimize
cooling/ventilation.
Living areas to be aligned to get maximum north south light and services areas are to be
located on the western side.
Shading is used to increase cooling effects in the building.
There will be less numbers of openings on the west side and ore numbers of openings on
south side
Projections such as balconies are provided on the south direction such that summer sun is
stopped and winter sun is let in.
Promoting residents awareness on energy conservation.
9.7. Do the structures use energy-efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems?
Provide technical details. Provide details of the transformers and motor efficiencies,
lighting intensity and air-conditioning load assumptions? Are you using CFC and HCFC
free chillers? Provide specifications.
Suitable energy optimization will be adopted during the calculation of the energy load of the
proposed project. The space heating load will be minimized using passive solar structure,
suitable building envelop materials. Use of incandescent and halogen lamps will be avoided and
energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps /LED will be used for all common area.

9.8. What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the micro-climates? Provide a
self-assessment on the likely impacts of the proposed construction on creation of heat island
& inversion effects?
Heat emission from the proposed construction can be from the following sources: Heat absorbed from
the paved and concrete structures, heat generated from equipments / appliances, and due to increased
population in the proposed project site. However the heat generated will not be significant and will be
dissipated in the lush greens and open areas provided within the project site. Hence it can be concluded
that the heat island effect shall not be a concern for the concerned project.
Moreover, Green cover will be provided at site and will incorporate such design considerations that
control formation of heat islands.
The buildup of indoor air contaminants is contributed by inadequate ventilation, contamination from
inside and outside the building, besides microbial contamination and contamination from building
fabric. The measures proposed for maintaining indoor air quality is presented in Table 10.

lobby.
• On sighting a fire, it should be immediately informed to the environment manager giving
the exact location and type of fire in detail.
• Initiate the Emergency Response Team for fires.
• If the fire is small, engage in extinguishing the fire using the nearest fire extinguisher.
• Guide the Emergency Response Team staff to the emergency assembly point.
• The Emergency Response Team should immediately inform the nearest dispensary and
security force. If required a fire tender should be summoned.
• The response team should immediately move to the point of fire and take all necessary
steps to stop the fire. If the fire is not controllable and spreads then the manager in charge
should inform the district authorities and call for external help.
• The Emergency Response Team will provide immediate relief to the injured residents at
the scene of incident. Any injured persons should be evacuated on priority to the
dispensary or one of the nearest hospitals based on their condition.
General Instructions for Occupants in case of Fire
• Get out of buildings as quickly and as safely as possible.
• Use the stairs to escape. When evacuating, stay low to the ground.
• If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases.
• Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire.
• If in a room with a closed door.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 54 of 71
• If smoke is pouring in around bottom of the door or if it feels hot, keep the doorclosed
• Open a window to escape or for fresh air while awaiting rescue.
• If there is no smoke at bottom or top and the door is not hot, then open the door slowly
• If there is too much smoke or fire in the hall, slam the door shut.
• Stay out of damaged buildings.
• Check that all wiring and utilities are safe.
Firefighting system is proposed to prevent and control fire outbreaks for the project. The
firefighting system will consist of portable fire extinguishers, hose reel, wet riser, yard hydrant,
automatic sprinkler system, and manual fire alarm system. The project will also be provided with
automatic fire detection and alarm system.
9.11. If you are using glass as wall material provides details and specifications including
emissivity and thermal characteristics.
Glass panel will have maximum light transmission but low solar heat radiation. This will reduce
quantity of heat inflow into the building. Single pane glass of 0.25 inches thickness with visible
transmittance up to 85% day lighting may be used.
The Single pane glass (clear/tinted) with a transmission coefficient of ‘U factor’ as 3.3 W/m2 -ºC
(for clear) and ‘U factor’ as 3.4 W/m2 -ºC (for tinted) may be used for composite climate zone.
The Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) is 0.59 (clear) and 0.42 (tinted).
9.12 What is the rate of air infiltration into the building? Provide details of how you are
mitigating the effects of infiltration.
Reduced air infiltration combined with proper ventilation can not only reduce energy bills but it
can also improve the quality of indoor air. Outdoor air that leaks indoor makes it difficult to
maintain comfort and energy efficiency. In addition, air leakage accounts for 25-40% energy
used for heating and cooling in a typical building. For this purpose the building has been
designed in a compact manner, leaving ventilation shaft in between buildings for facilitating the
escape of hot exhaust air.

Environmental Monitoring:
Various environmental protection and mitigation measures have been suggested in the previous
Chapter/section for ensuring compliance with the stipulated environmental regulations and
applicable standards. Also, there are specified environmental monitoring and record keeping
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 66 of 71
requirements for operating facilities that the proposed Project will have to comply with. Though
record keeping would be largely an in-house activity, environmental monitoring within and
outside of the proposed Project would be carried out through recognized environmental
laboratories as per the requirements of MoEFCC.
The purpose of environmental monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation of
EMP by periodically monitoring the important environmental parameters within the impact area,
so that any potential adverse impacts are detected and timely action can be taken. In order to
ensure compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements, the Project plans to conduct the
following environmental monitoring activities.
Wastewater Quality Monitoring and Record Keeping
The wastewater discharges from the proposed Project will mainly comprise of domestic sewage
and other wastewater discharges from drinking water points, toilets, washbasins, food court and
kitchen, backwashing of filters (used in water treatment) etc.
Therefore, as per the requirements of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974,
the Project proponent will apply to Bihar State Pollution Control Board for the Consent to
Establish. Before starting the operation, the Project proponent will apply to Bihar State Pollution
Control Board for the Consent to Operate for Wastewater Discharges and thereafter periodically
renew its Consent to Operate. Subsequently, whenever there is a change in the operations, the
Project will get the requisite amendments in its Consent.
The Project would maintain an inventory of all sources of wastewater and maintain records of
waste water quality and quantity for the wastewater streams, as required. The Project will ensure
that wastewater analysis is conducted for all regulated parameters as per Bihar State Pollution
Control Board’s specification or as per conditions of Consent to Operate and to ensure
compliance with any other specifically applicable standards. The frequency of wastewater
quality monitoring would be decided in consultation with the Bihar State Pollution Control
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 67 of 71
Board officials. Care will be taken to ensure that wastewater analysis is conducted at such a
frequency that potential variations due to various operational factors are recorded.
Noise Level Monitoring and Record keeping
The Project would maintain an inventory of all point and non-point sources of noise emissions
and identify regulated sources, specified in the Bihar State Pollution Control Board’s Consent to
Operate for Air Emissions. Main source of noise would be DG sets during the construction
phase, But as DG sets with acoustic enclosure has been proposed, there would be minimal
chance of noise pollution. However, the Project management would conduct noise level
monitoring at the specified locations within, on the fence line/boundary, and outside the Project’s
premises to ensure compliance with the specific standards and conditions of the Consent to
Operate. The locations of the noise monitoring stations and frequency of noise level monitoring
would be decided in consultation with the Bihar State Pollution Control Board officials. The
noise level monitoring would be conducted at such a frequency that potential variations due to
various operational factors are recorded.
Awareness and Training
Training and human resource development is an important link for achieving sustainable
operation of the facility and environmental management. For successful functioning of the
project, relevant EMPs will be communicated to the residents of the project. Everyone will be
made aware of importance of their various environmental responsibilities including waste
segregation and storage, water and energy conservation, etc. This awareness will be provided
through documents and periodic meetings. They will be informed of their responsibilities for
successful operation of various environmental management schemes inside the Project premises.
Relevant personnel at site will be trained for the following:
Applicable EH&S regulations and compliance requirements for the same.
Collection, Segregation, Storage and Disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.
Operation and maintenance of Sewage Treatment Plant and recycling system
Techniques for waste minimization, water conservation and energy conservation, etc.

CONCEPTUAL PLAN
1. INTRODUCTION
Bihar Medical Services & Infrastructure Corporation (BMSICL) has proposed expansion of the
Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital (DMCH) in terms of construction of Academic Block,
Hospital Block, Class IV Accommodation, Surgical Block and Students Hostel.
The project is being developed on the total plot area of 4,04,685.61 sq.m. The exiting hospital
complex consists of more than 100 buildings having total built-up area of 2, 18,429.51 sqm at
present. However, the existing complex is being under operation since 1925 i.e. before the
issuance of the EIA notification. The undertaking in this regard is attached as Annexure-I.
BMSICL has been set up by Government of Bihar under the aegis of Department of Health and
Family Welfare to meet the infrastructure requirement in healthcare sector. In this process the
Darbhanga Medical College & Hospital (DMCH), District Darbhanga, is being upgraded with
modern infrastructure facilities. The requirement of new blocks for providing better medical
facilities is the key component in this development. The Buildings in the campus are scattered
around making limiting the scope of future expansion.
The Bihar Medical Services & Infrastructure Corporation (BMSICL) has proposed to construct
the new blocks in terms of Academic Block, Hospital Block, Class IV Accommodation, Surgical
Block and Students Hostel in Darbhanga district of Bihar State. Total plot area is 4, 04,685.61m2.
The existing FAR is 2,18,429.51 m2 at present and proposed expansion FAR is 1,11,129.4 m2
will be for future expansion.
The total area of 5,301.75 sqm of class IV accommodation, one doctor’s residence and nurse quarters will be demolished which is already included in existing FAR. Considering the above, the existing land use is not expected to get altered due to construction of
proposed expansion and the total buildup area is 3,41,655.52 sqm.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 2 of 25
The existing buildings were constructed and also became operational prior to the publication of
EIA Notification 2006. Therefore, the existing buildings did not attract applicability of to obtain
Environmental Clearance from SEIAA/MoEFCC and no environmental clearance was issued to
us. DMCH was started as a Temple Medical School in 1925 and was upgraded into a college in
1946.
The Project is designated under Category “B” and falls under Item 8(b) (Township & Area
Development) of the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Notification of September 14,
2006 and its amendments.

9. RAIN WATER HARVESTING/STORM WATER MANAGEMENT Rainwater harvesting is the activity of direct collection of rainwater. Collected Rainwater will be
stored for direct use or for recharging the groundwater. Rain Water Harvesting is the technique
through which rain water is captured from the roof and paved surfaces and stored in sub-surface
ground water reservoir by adopting artificial recharge techniques.
Advantages:
To meet the ever increasing demand for water.
To avoid flooding of roads.
To augment the ground water storage and control the decline of water table levels.
To reduce ground water pollution.
To improve the quality of ground water.
To reduce the soil erosion.
To supplement domestic water requirement during summer, drought etc.
Improves the quality of ground water through dilution when recharged to ground water.
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 22 of 25
The ground water level of the project site is very high in pre-monsoon season water level is 2.97
mbgl, in monsoon season water level is 1.57 mbgl and in post-monsoon season water level is 2.08
mbgl.(Source: Ground Water Information Booklet Darbhanga District, Bihar State, September 2013)
As stated above, due to high ground water table, it is not feasible to provide the rain water recharge
pits for aquifer recharging but there will be provision of the water sump for the collection of roof top
rain water and it will be further used for miscellaneous purposes. The rainwater runoff from the roofs
shall be transported through underground pipes to water sumps structures & surface rainwater shall
naturally percolate in the underground aquifer through natural filtration.
10. POWER REQUIREMENT
The total electrical load demand for project has been estimated to be 7875 KVA (6000 KVA for
existing Phase and 1875KVA for expansion Phase). Electric supply for the complex shall be
received from the main Electric Sub-Station of Surgical Block through outdoor HT breaker and
11KV Underground Cable up to new proposed Sub-station.
In case of power failure, 5 DG sets of total capacity of 7500 KVA (2*1500) in buildings will be
provided as power back-up for building.
The DG sets will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Adequate stack heights of D.G. Sets will
be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to
facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases as the calculation for the stack height is given below
considering height of the building:
The electrical plan is attached as Annexure-IV.
11. SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT
The project will adopt a systematic approach for solid waste collection and disposal. Solid waste
generated from the project will be collected properly and will be managed as per Solid waste
Management Rules, 2016.
The domestic solid waste will be generated by the occupants of the Hostel, Visitors, Patients, and
Staff; pertains to the two categories, Bio-degradable and Non-biodegradable. These solid wastes
Existing and Proposed expansion of Darbhanga Medical College and Hospital, District Darbhanga, Bihar
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 23 of 25
will be collected separately by putting different types of separate bins at the source of generation.
It is estimated that maximum solid waste generation would be about 5,142.75 kg/day and 946.4
kg of sludge (wet basis). The solid waste generation considered is given in Table-14.
