6. PROPOSED EIA METHODOLOGY
EIA Methodology
Issue Covered item
ABC will include a baseline study as a part of the EIA methodology. The
baseline study will mainly focus on Air, Noise, Water, Land, Socio-Economic
and Biological Components of the environment.
The existing status of ambient air quality will be monitored within impacted
region (10 km from the periphery) of the proposed project site.
Monitoring the site-specific micro - meteorological data, viz. wind speed and
direction, humidity, ambient temperature, rainfall etc.,
Monitoring the present status of noise levels within the impact zone;
Baseline Studies
Baseline status of water quality and quantity;
Geography, physiographic, regional geology and structure of the project area
will be collected from the secondary sources;
Collection of available information on both terrestrial and aquatic flora and
fauna, including rare and endangered species in the project area;
Noise analysis will be carried out for 6 locations and noise mapping will be
done;
Collection of socio-economic data; and
The baseline aspects (such as soil, groundwater etc.,) will also be described
based on existing data, literature and any other secondary source.
Air Emissions
Brief qualitative analysis of expected emissions (i.e. dust, vehicular emission)
for both construction and operational phase of the project. Impact analysis
Air pollution
will be based on compliance evaluation using national and international
emission threshold limit values and Best Available Techniques (BAT) with
regards to the closest sensitive receptors.
Evaluation of Noise
For actual and future noise analysis, the major noise sources and sensitive
receivers to the new Infrastructure development project site and adjacent
Noise areas will be identified for both construction and operation phases of the
project. Noise levels will be assessed using typical noise generation factors
and compared with standards. In cases where the aforementioned standards
are exceeded, mitigation measures will be proposed.
Risks to Soil and Groundwater
A qualitative analysis of potential impacts will include:
Analysis of potential impacts due to contamination by construction activities;
Potential areas or procedures where accidental releases of hazardous
Soil and materials may endanger soil and groundwater quality;
Groundwater Analysis of pollution containment measures;
Analysis of potential impacts due to de-watering; and
Assessment of actual risk of accidental releases.
We will also incorporate in the assessment the results of any soil and
groundwater baseline investigations.

Wastewater generation
Estimation of wastewater production (mainly sewage and cooling water) in
Wastewater terms of quantity and quality by applying effluent factors (water balance);
Quality Effluent compliance evaluation based on national and international emission
threshold limit values for discharge to sewage system.
Analysis of potential wastewater recycling or reuse.
Waste generation
Estimation of waste generation in terms of quantity and quality by applying
waste factors (Contractor, literature) for both construction and operation
phases;
Analysis of waste production in relation to waste management principles
(prevention, re-use, recycle, treatment and disposal).
Waste handling
Solid Waste
Classification of waste into recyclable and hazardous categories, and analysis
Generation
of whether envisaged waste handling and storage is compliant with
international best practice (BAT).
Final waste treatment & disposal
Analysis of best practices for disposal and treatment of waste streams (e.g.
recycling, correct landfills, etc.);
General analysis of disposal waste versus capacity of non-hazardous and
hazardous waste facilities in the region.
Direct Loss of flora and fauna, and/or habitat
Establish impact by determining what flora, fauna or habitat will or could be
Terrestrial
destroyed during construction of the development;
Ecology
Analysis of potential indirect impacts due to project externalities (i.e.
atmospheric, noise emissions and waste)
Energy
Consumption of electricity and heat/cooling;
Use of natural Evaluation of energy efficiency.
resources Water consumption
Water consumption (ground water, potable water and cooling water);
Evaluation according to water minimization management principles.
Health impacts inside & outside the site will be elaborated on in this section
of the socio-economic assessment (air & noise chapters will also dealt with
health related standards). The analysis will use the results of air quality and
noise assessments and related standards to make inferences concerning
health related impacts from the construction and operational phases of the
Health Impacts
new Infrastructure development project.
To assess impacts for quality of life, ABC will qualitatively assess any positive
or negative impacts that the project will have regarding the access of local
residents to entertainment, education and recreational activities. Nuisance
impacts from noise and waste management will also be revisited with respect
to local residents and visitors to the new development.
