1.6 SUMMARY OF ENVIRONMENTAL MONITORING

Baseline Status of the study area

Physiography  The project site falls in Valsad district of Gujarat which is surrounded by
Vapi in the south, Valsad in the north, Dharampur in the east and Atar
village in the west.
 The project location is well connected with road, rail and air route for
transportation activities.
 The nearest city/ town to the project site is Valsad.
 River Par is passing through the vicinity of the project site at a distance of
about 0.7 kms from the site and drains into Arabian sea.

Meteorology  Temperature: Mean daily max. = 41 oC, Mean daily min. =13.4 oC.
 Humidity was observed between 08 to 93 %.
 Wind pattern: Pre-dominant Direction: NW, Wind Speed was in the range
of 0 to 12.0 km/hr

Ambient air  Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out at 8 locations.
 Locations were selected considering the downwind (i.e SW )and upwind
quality
direction (i.e NE)
 Downwind locations were Rentlav and Udwada; and upwind locations
were considered as Chanvai and Chichvada at the time of location
selection.
 During the study Ambient Air Quality has been assessed for PM2.5, PM10,
SO2, NOx and CO parameters.
 On the basis of test results found during the survey it can be concluded that
the ambient air quality of the study region is quite good as all the results are
well within the limit.

Noise level  Day time: Noise range – 51 to 68 dB(A)

 Night time: Noise range – 42 to 59 dB(A)
GROUND WATER SOURCE
Water resources
 To assess the quality of ground water, samples were collected from 5
& quality
locations for the analysis of physico-chemical and microbiological
parameters.
 Frequency of sampling was twice in a month during the study period.
 Analysis were carried out for pH, TDS, Total hardness, Alkalinity,

Atul Limited Page No: 10

 Executive summary
Calcium, Magnesium, Fluoride, heavy metals, MPN etc..
 On the basis of test results it is summarized that water quality for studied
locations is as per IS 10500 – 2012. Water can be used for drinking purpose
after primary treatment and can also be used for domestic purposes. Water
of Tithal village should not be used for drinking purpose without proper
treatment.

SURFACE WATER SOURCE

 To assess the quality of Surface water, samples were collected from 05
locations for the analysis of physico-chemical, microbiological as well as
for biological parameters.

 Frequency of sampling was once in a month during the study period for
the analysis of physico-chemical parameters and once during the study
period for the testing of biological parameters.

 Test results comparison study with Inland Surface Water Classification

(CPCB Standards) reveals that water cannot be used directly for drinking
purpose as MPN test is positive for almost all the locations. Surface water
for these locations can be used for various domestic purposes but it cannot
be used for drinking purpose. Before taking it for drinking purpose it
should be passed through various stages of conventional treatment.

Soil quality  7 samples were collected from different locations within 10 km radius to
assess the base line status of soil.
 Analysis was also carried out for physico-chemical parameters as well as
the parameters to define the texture class.
 The soil texture was found to be silt clay and silt clay loam in most of the
villages of study region.
 Analysis was carried out for total Nitrogen, total Phosphorous, Calcium
organic matter etc parameters.
 As a micronutrient analysis of Iron, Chromium, copper & Boron was also
carried out for all the soil samples & its presence was found lower than the
desired value.

1.10 OCCUPATIONAL HEALTH, SAFETY & HOUSEKEEPING
The company is very much concerned in terms of health, safety and environment protection. Atul’s
commitment towards safety can be reflected from its ‘Health, Safety & Environment Policy’ prepared for
the existing project.

Atul also has a Department of Health (DoH) for regular checking health of the employee regular checking
health of the employees and medical aid. Annual health check for employees is carried out and record is
maintained. Regular training to plant personnel in safety firefighting and first aid is also provided.

1.11 GREENBELT DEVELOPMENT PLAN

The plan for attenuation of the noise and air pollutant level includes design for greenbelt/plantation around
plant boundary, roadside, office buildings and stretches of open land. The vegetation for the attenuation of
air pollution shall be most needed in the areas where ground level concentrations of the pollutant are likely
to be high. The main objective of green belt development is to provide a barrier between the source of
pollution and the surrounding area. The greenbelt helps to capture the fugitive emission and to attenuate
the noise generated apart from improving the aesthetics. Development of green belt shall also prevent soil
erosion and washing away of the topsoil besides helping in stabilizing the functional ecosystem, make the
climate more conducive and restore water balance.

Atul Limited Page No: 21

 Executive summary
Plantation work:

Proponent has already developed 300 acres of greenbelt in and around the Atul complex. Proponent has
already developed 16,500 m2 of greenbelt near CPP area and additional 1420 m2 of greenbelt will be
developed in proposed CPP area. In addition to this, afforestation and plantation activities shall be
undertaken in all available spaces within the main plant. Afforestation at plant area will be undertaken
which will not only act as lung space in the area but will also improve aesthetics.

Multi-layered plantation comprising of medium height trees (7 m to 10 m) and shrubs (5 m height) are
proposed for the green belt. In addition to this in future creepers will be planted along the boundary wall to
enhance its insulation capacity.

1.11 RAIN WATER HARVESTING PLAN

Atul already carries out rain water harvesting in the existing premises. 1,28,236 m3/year of rain water was
collected in Rain water harvesting tank during this year 2013-14 monsoon season. The collected water was
transferred to collection tank and reuse in process, which has resulted in decrease in fresh water intake.

1.12 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT CELL

Atul has already formulated the Environmental Management Division for its existing unit which involves
personnel of Plant Level as well as Corporate Level for interaction with technical & statutory bodies to deal
with environmental requirements/issues at all level. The same cell shall be responsible for proposed
expansion also. Executive Director/Engineer will head the Environmental Management Cell with
subordinates involving Environmental Manager, Environmental Engineer, Chemist, Operators, etc. The
EMC will be provided with well-equipped laboratory for carrying out analysis of the samples of the water,
air etc. The EMC will carry out/oversee the monitoring of the stack emission, noise level, analysis of the
water etc. and keep the regional/local statutory body informed about the status of pollution control.
Proponent will arrange professional training for personnel of EMC at plant level which shall be provided in
area of monitoring and continuous analysis of the pollutants, legal requirement and environmental
management system. The EMC will also act to ensure efficient & proper implementation of EMP &
mitigation measures suggested for control/prevention of pollution, recycling/reuse of waste & wastewater,
conservation of environmental quality, greenbelt and occupational health & safety etc. Conceptually, the
Environmental Management Cell has the following organizational structure:
