1.2.5 Importance to the Country and Region National Importance

Industrialisation is the better way for growth and employment, and it is also a strategic location
connecting Indian markets. Industrialisation and infrastructure growth have to go hand in
hand. Cement is a major component of infrastructure growth. Total cement production in the
area and nearby state does not match demand growth, and hence new capacities must come

up concurrently. The proposed plant will ensure that the supply situation in Telangana and
neighbouring states is comfortable in the coming years, as growth is expected to propel
demand.

Ever since it was regulated in 1982, the Indian cement industry has attracted huge
investments, both from India and from foreign investors. India has a lot of potential for
development in infrastructure and construction sites, and the cement sector is expected to
largely benefit from it. Some of the recent major government initiatives, such as the
development of 100 smart cities, are expected to provide a major boost to the sector. The
Indian government has set a target to invest INR 100 billion in developing infrastructure from
2019 to 2025.

The target investment in infrastructure is to double the investment made during 2014–19. In
view of the INR 100 billion investment in infrastructure, the Indian cement industry is
estimated to have a cement consumption of 593 MTPA, and industry consumption is expected
to cross 85% capacity utilisation after 2022–23. The execution of government development of
infrastructure is observed to be high, and even in many sectors, it is found to be touching 90%.
Therefore, the cement demand is expected to touch 593 MT by 2024–25 in the high growth
scenario. All India projected cement demand in different economic scenarios is under:

Table 1.4: Cement Demand Forecast

Year Economic Scenario

Present Growth (MT) Modern Growth High Growth (INR
100 billion Infra (MT)
2020-21 354 367 377
2021-22 374 393 422
2022-23 395 423 472
2023-24 418 455 429
2024-25 442 499 493

The demand forecast gives a future prospect for the Indian cement industry, and the cement
industry is expected to grow at a at a CAGR of 9.8% until 2025 in a high growth scenario.

The forecasted cement demand and industry capacity utilisation show that by 2022–23,
industry will cross capacity utilisation of 90%. Therefore, there is scope for the Indian cement
industry to start new capacity addition projects to take advantage of future market demand.
Also, a significant factor that aids the growth of this sector is the ready availability of the raw
materials for making cement, such as limestone and coal. The housing sector is the biggest
demand driver for cement, accounting for about 67% of the total consumption in India. The
other major consumers of cement include infrastructure at 13%, commercial construction at
11%, and industrial construction at 9%.
Regional Importance
Adani Group is known for its environment-friendly initiatives across the sectors it operates in
and its strong reputation for sustainable growth. In line with the existing agenda to make India
Power sustainable in the future, cement manufacturing units are being planned close to coal-
based thermal power plants. The disposal of fly ash is an environmental concern that is faced
by all coal-based thermal power-generating plants. Cement can consume up to 35 percent of
the fly ash produced in power plants and thus reduce environmental concern.
The project planned by the group would also generate immense employment opportunities
and a significant contribution to the state and central exchequer., as well as the as well as the
improvement of the socioeconomics of the area by way of education, vocational training,
animal husbandry, improving infrastructure facilities such as roads, transport, drinking water
supply, medical facilities, etc. The Adani Group is committed to the development of the country
and will put all efforts into comprehensive development of this area, as is being practiced by us
at other establishments. In addition, various rural development initiatives for the upliftment of
the nearby communities will be undertaken under social economic development activities and

Ramannapet, District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Vertical Roller Mill (VRM) and Roller Press technology shall be used for clinker grinding. The
arrangement for the cement grinding circuit is considered for clinker storage, gypsum storage,
fly ash storage, cement storage, and packing plants. Clinker unloading by rail and bagged
cement loading by trucks for road transport are proposed. The process technology of VRM and
roller press technology is discussed below:
2.6.1 Vertical Roller Mill (VRM)
A vertical roller mill operates under the principle of air sweeping with impact, compression,
and shear forces.
• The latest generation of VRM is the most robust state-of-the-art technology for cement
grinding applications.
• VRM performs four major operations inside a single machine: drying of raw material,
grinding, material transportation, and material classification.
• It comes in a 2 roller, 4 roller, or 6 grinding roller segment design, which gives greater
flexibility; if one roller is down, production with 70% capacity can be achieved with the
remaining rollers.
• VRM is the most energy efficient equipment, resulting in less power consumption.
• Water spray is required on the table for material bed stabilization.
• External heat sources are required for the drying of materials.
• Coal- or oil-fired HAG is considered for the heat requirement.
2.6.2 Ball mill + roller press circuit
Ball mills mainly work on the principle of impact and attrition forces, and in conjunction with
roller presses, their efficiency and output are improved.
• Ball mills consist of single or double chambers.
• Each chamber is filled with grinding media (steel balls) of different sizes.
• As the mill gets rotated, along with that, due to centrifugal forces Grinding media also get
lifted and rotated. When centrifugal forces get neutralized by gravitational forces, grinding
media fall on material. Due to these continuous impact and attrition forces, the grinding
process takes place.
• A current of air is passed through the mill. This helps keep the mill cool and sweeps out
evaporated moisture, which would otherwise cause hydration and disrupt material flow.
The dusty exhaust air is cleaned, usually with bag filters.

• A ball mill shall be used in conjunction with a roller press.
• External heat sources are required for the drying of materials.
• Coal- or oil-fired HAG is considered for the heat requirement.

A high-efficiency circulating fan will be operated to collect the ground material in the system.
The collected ground material will be taken into the cement silos with the help of a series of air
slides and bucket elevators. To minimize pollution, the exhaust of the circulating fan is
connected to the bag filter. The product collected at the bag filter shall be transported to the
cement silo through a set of air slides and a bucket elevator.
The waste material, such as fly ash, slag, etc., shall be ground with clinker and gypsum to
manufacture different types of cement, such as OPC, PPC, PSC, and PCC, depending on market
demand. The steps involved in the cement manufacturing process are as follows:

• Clinker Storage and Handling

• Gypsum, fly ash and slag storage, handling, and crushing
• Coal Crushing and a Hot Air Generator
• Clinker Grinding: Cement Production and Storage
• Cement Packing, Loading, and Dispatch

The manufacturing process details are given below:

Clinker Storage and Handling

Clinker will be received at the project site by road and unloaded truck tippler, transported to
storage by a belt conveyor, and stored in Clinker Silo. From the silo, clinker will be conveyed to
the mill hopper by a combination of extraction equipment and belt conveyors. Clinker will be
extracted from the clinker silo through openings provided with needle gates and clinker
discharge sector gates. A set of belt conveyors will be provided for clinker extraction from the
silo and feeding to cement mill hoppers.

Gypsum, fly ash and slag storage, handling, and crushing

crushing system for additives has been considered for the project. Additives will be received at
the project site by dump trucks and will be unloaded in BRU. From BRU, additives shall be fed
to an additive crusher and then stockpiled by a system of impact belt conveyors.

The crusher will have bypass provisions for bypassing material that does not need to be
crushed. Slag will be received by road, unloaded by truck tippler, transported to storage by a
belt conveyor, and stored in a stockpile by stacker. Slag will be reclaimed by the reclaimer for
further conveying to mill hoppers by conveyors. For fly ash unloading, a pneumatic system will
be provided and will be stored in fly ash silos.
Coal Crushing with a Hot Air Generator
Coal will be received by road and unloaded by truck tippler in a coal storage shed of 1000 tons
and fed to the coal mill for grinding and use in HAG to generate hot air to absorb moisture in
the raw materials and ensure the ensure the proper functioning of air pollution control
equipment.
Clinker Grinding: Cement Production and Storage
A mix of clinker, gypsum, and additives (as per the cement type) will be fed to the grinding
table and ground to manufacture different varieties of cement. The cement will be stored in a
cement silo.
Cement packing
The cement from silos will be extracted and fed to the installed 2 x 3 nos. of electronic packers
with 16 spouts and double discharge with a capacity of 240 TPH each through air slides, bucket
elevators, and screens. The packer will be connected to 18 trucks. or trailer loaders for loading
packed cement bags. The packed bags from packers will be transported to truck loading bays
by suitable flat belt conveyors and diverters. A separate provision will also be available to load
bulk cement into closed tankers.

2.6.4 Other Project-Associated Activities
2.6.5 Sewage Treatment Plant

A Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) with a capacity of 20 KLD will be installed within the plant
premises for the treatment of waste water generated from domestic uses. This wastewater will
be treated in a well-designed movable bed-bio reactor (MBBR)-based treatment technology of
a sewage treatment plant. Treated water will be reused for plantation development and
gardening activities, and dry sludge generated from this STP will be used as manure in green
belt and plantation development and gardening activities. A detailed STP process description
and flow diagram are given below.

Process Description of the STP Plant:

Screen: A screen is a mechanical filter used to remove large objects from wastewater. The
sewage is first allowed to pass through a screen chamber where heavy waste and floating
materials are trapped. Due to this, blockage or choking of downstream equipment's is avoided.

Equalization: The sewage from the bar screen chamber, grit trap, and oil and grease striper
comes to the equalization tank. It is the first collection tank of the STP; it acts as a buffer to
collect the incoming raw sewage that comes at widely fluctuating rates and pass it on to the
rest of the STP at a constant flow rate.

Biological Treatment: The equalized sewage is passed into the MBBR tank. The bulk of the
treatment is provided here, employing microbes and bacteria for the process, where BOD and
COD treatments are enhanced. Oxygen is supplied by means of a diffused aeration system. The
components of the aeration tank are mixed completely. For a higher surface area for
microorganisms, floating media (MBBR) are provided on which their growth takes place. The
MBBR process works on the principle of attached growth systems and uses rotating bio-media
to retain active biomass to reduce influent BOD levels.

Sludge Settling: The bio-treated waste water passes through the settling tank, where the
biomass settles at the bottom and the clear water overflows from the top of the tank for
filtration. Settled sludge has been pumped periodically.

Ramannapet, District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Dual Media Filter (DMF):
The treated sewage is passed to a dual media filter (DMF) for removal of turbidity, suspended
solids, and the odor of the treated sewage. Dual-media filters provide very efficient particle
removal under conditions of high filtration rates.

Activated Carbon Filter (ACF): It receives the water that is already filtered by the pressure sand
filter and improves the multiple quality parameters of the water, like BOD, COD, turbidity,
color, and odor. Softener: After filtration, water is passed through the softener to reduce total
hardness.

Disinfection: The treated water is then disinfected using sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl) to kill
and render harmless disease-causing organisms, such as bacteria, viruses, etc. Sodium
hypochlorite is dosed for disinfection of the treated water. Finally, the treated water will be
collected in the treated water tank for further use in greenbelt development, plantation, and
gardening activities.

statuses of environmental quality in the vicinity of the project, which further serves as the basis
for identification, prediction, and assessment of impacts. To assess the baseline environmental
quality of the area, a field assessment has been conducted in the study area, considering the
following components of the environment: land, meteorology, air, noise, water, soil, biological
and socioeconomic status. The baseline monitoring has been conducted during the summer
season (March to May 2024) in the study area, covering an area of 10 km radius from the
project site, in accordance with the guidelines issued by MoEF and CC and the Terms of
Reference (ToR) granted by SEIAA, Telangana, for the proposed stand-alone grinding unit
project for the preparation of the EIA and EMP reports.

involved in the project area. Out of the total project area, approx. 8.92 ha (i.e., 33.63% of the
total project area) will be covered under greenbelts or plantations. The setting up of the
grinding unit will result in a permanent change in the land use pattern from agricultural land to
industrial land. No forest land is involved in the project area.
To study the land use pattern of the 10-kilometer buffer zone, land use and land cover details
have been analysed and maps have been prepared.
Objectives:
The objectives of the LULC study are as follows:
• To develop the land use and land cover map using the land coordinates of the project area
(core zone) and a 10 km radius from the project site. (Buffer Zone)
• To identify and mark the important land use and land cover features using the primary and
secondary data collected.
• To evaluate the impacts on existing land use and cover features of the buffer area of the
proposed project activities.
• To identify the mitigative measures for the sustainable use of land and to protect the
buffer zone from adverse impacts.

Methodology Adopted for the Land Use Study

The present study involves a micro-level analysis of the land use pattern showing a 10-
kilometer radius and changes in the land use pattern using satellite data. This necessitates a
careful analysis of satellite data using a well-defined methodology.
To meet the requirement, a preliminary assessment of terrain using digital analysis to help infer
the relationship between terrain and land use has been carried out. Such an approach provides
a lucid understanding of land use units and enhances knowledge of the land use pattern,
assisting in impact assessment.
The knowledge base thus generated is used to delineate various land use units while carrying
out the interpretation of the satellite image. The derived land use information is transformed
into a GIS-based spatial database using geo-referencing techniques. Besides, a limited but well-
focused field investigation was also carried out, and the coordinates of significant land use units
using handheld GPS (Global Positioning System) were gathered to be used as control points for
geo-referencing. Interpreted land use units are verified in the field to carry out necessary
corrections wherever required before preparing the final land use map.
Using image elements such as colour, tone, texture, size, shape, and associated elements,
various land use units are delineated following the categorization and nomenclature adopted
for the national-level land use classification system as recommended by the National Remote
Sensing Centre (NRSC), Department of Space, Government of India. Some of the land use units
that are identified in the study area are listed in Table 3.3 given below.
Field Verification:
Field verification involved the collection, verification, and recording of the different surface
features that create specific spectral signatures or image expressions on the FCC. In the study
area, doubtful areas identified in the course of the interpretation of imagery are systematically

least 5 sampling areas, evenly distributed in the area. Ground truth details involving LU/LC
classes and other ancillary information about crop growth stage, exposed soils, landform,
nature, and type of land degradation are recorded, and the different land use classes are taken
from the land use map.

Land Use Pattern of 10 km Radial Buffer Area of the Project Site
The existing land use pattern and land cover distribution of the whole acquired block have been
studied from the satellite imagery and subsequent ground checking during the field surveys.
It mainly comprises agricultural land with bi-annual crops of Kharif (Kharif: Jowar, Bajra, Cotton,
etc.). Season: July to October) and Rabi (Rabi: wheat, rai, etc.). Season: December to March.
The presence of agricultural land is followed by a few dense settlements: Namakkal M village,
natural or man-made ponds, etc. The shortage of rainfall, availability of groundwater at deeper
levels, and other climatic conditions do not support good agricultural productivity in spite of
having enough land. There is no demarcated forest land within the study area; however, some

scattered forest is found throughout the 10-kilometer radius, especially along the periphery of
the villages.
The general land use pattern of the core and buffer may be broadly classified into four major
categories: buildup or habitation, agriculture, water bodies, waste land, and other categories.
The buildup or habitation category covered villages, towns, and infrastructure. Under the
agriculture category, crop land, fallow land, and plantations are considered. Under the water
body categories, there are reservoirs, lakes, ponds, rivers, and streams. Under the wasteland
category, land with scrub and land without scrub are interpreted. Lastly, other categories’
covered mine areas and forests are interpreted under this category. These categories are
delineated from the selected satellite image using image elements such as colour, tone,
texture, size, shape, and associated elements. The delineated land use units are transformed
into a spatial database in a GIS environment. Estimated for area and representation of each
category in the study area. The total area of LULC in the study area is calculated as 352 sq. km,
and the spatial distribution of various LULC categories within the buffer area is discussed below.
The 5 km and 10 km radius land use maps are shown Figure 3.7. The details are given below.

(Line I - 3.0 MMTPA and Line II- 3.0 MMTPA) located at Village-Ramannapet, Taluka-Ramannapet,
District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Interpretation and Conclusion:
Built-up settlements
Settlements in the study area are generally small to medium-sized in stature and area.
Ramannapet is one of the relatively larger settlements observed in the northern part of the
study area.
The interpretation of settlement from the satellite image is based upon the image elements
such as color, tone, texture, and association. It is delineated by their typical red color.
Association with linear features such as roads reaffirmed the presence of delineation of
settlements. The spatial extent of settlement is estimated at 11.78 sq. km, representing 3.35 %
of the study area, and the industrial and commercial areas cover 5.96 sq. km with 1.69%.
Agricultural Land
Under the broad category of agriculture, crop land, fallow land, and plantations are delineated.
Cultivation is mostly dependent on river water, so irrigational activities are good. Rivers, ponds,
and tanks in each village act as rainwater storage units and do support domestic requirements
and even cultivation to some extent. Because of these conditions, minimal water-requiring
crops such as corn, sunflower, oil seeds, grams, millets, and coriander are cultivated. Cultivation
is the most predominant crop cultivated, and even if it fails, its stalks are used as fodder for
cattle.
Crop and fallow land are interpreted using their image elements, such as light to green and
smooth to medium tone; they are the second most predominant landuse category delineated in
the buffer area. As explained earlier, cultivation mostly depends upon rivers, canals, and
rainfall, and the majority of the land parcels are tilled and ready for cultivation, even with a
scanty canal. Hence, cropland is the predominant category, estimated at 274 sq km,
representing 77.87% of the buffer area; plantation area covers 4.70 sq km, or 1.34%.
Wasteland
The last category of landuse units in the study area is “wasteland,” which denotes land parcels
that could not be utilized for cultivation even after conservation measures, such as land with
scrub and land without scrub.

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Next to the agricultural area, natural vegetation such as land with scrub forms the predominant
LULC category of the buffer area. The land with scrub is sparse and delineated as patches
scattered in all parts of the buffer area. The spatial pattern of scrub suggests it is closely
associated with water courses. This category occupies land with scrub, with an area of 10.58 sq.
km, representing 0.01% of the total core and buffer area.
Land without scrub, on the other hand, is interpreted using brown to white color, medium tone,
and medium texture and is generally restricted around land covered with scrub and fallow land.
They occur as small patches with a very minimal area covering 10.39 sq. km, representing
2.95% of the buffer area.
Water bodies
Many streams, small and large, are seen in the study area, distributed all over the area. They
support the domestic water requirements and for cattle. In some places, they may also be used
for irrigation purposes and are very limited. A few dry stream courses are also seen in the study
area. In the satellite image, water bodies are interpreted by their light blue to grayish blue
color, smooth tone, and smooth texture.
Most of the bodies of water retain water for a shorter period after precipitation due to soil
constraints and hence go dry soon. The spatial extent of rivers, streams, and water bodies is
estimated at 17.18 sq km and 4.888%.
Mining and forest area
Mining and forests are seen in the study area, which is distributed all over the area. Major
domestic income from the mining business. The spatial extent of mining is estimated at 1.28
and 15.66 sq km and 0.36 and 4.45%, respectively.
DIGITAL ELEVATION MODEL:
A digital elevation model (DEM) has been prepared for the proposed stand-alone grinding unit.

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Methodology
Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) data has been used for the creation of a digital
elevation model of the study area. The SRTM data has a vertical accuracy of 16 m and a spatial
resolution of 90 m.
Level-I:
The first processing stage involves importing and merging the 1-degree tiles into continuous
elevation surfaces in Arc GRID format.
Level-II:
Re-sampling the data at 23 m is done, and a contour interval of 10 m through the usual process
of interpolation is created.
Level-III:
SRTM data is converted in grid format through Arc GIS 10.2 to obtain elevation information for
the study area. Contours are then generated at 10 m intervals through the 3D analyst of Arc GIS
and then interpolated with raster data.
Level-IV:
Integration of DEM with contour map showing 3D view for surface analysis is done. The Digital
Elevation Model (DEM) of the Study Area is given in Figure 3.9.
Interpretation and Conclusion It is very clear from the DEM that the elevation varies from
328.4 m to 410.3 m in the whole study area, thus having an elevation difference of 81.9 m. The
lower elevation is covered by rivers, while the higher elevation areas are covered by agricultural
land and habitation.

3.5.4 Climatological Details
Climate and Rainfall
Telangana has a humid subtropical climate. The period from June to September is referred as
Southwest Monsoon season. The Normal annual rainfall of the state is about 919.0 mm and
about 80.0% of annual rainfall received from Southwest Monsoon season (738.6 mm) alone.
Normal Rainfall for the month of June is 129.4 mm and Highest rainfall recorded during 24
hours is 317.0 mm at Alampur (Jogulamba Gadwal) on 23-June-2007.The Average Maximum
Temperature is 35.8°C and Highest Maximum Temperature 48.5°C Recorded at Ramannapet.
Highest Rainfall of 35.9 mm/day recorded at Quthbullapur (Medchal-Malkajgiri). The Average
Rainfall is 13.4 mm against 2.0 mm Normal. The highest Maximum Temperature of 43.0°C
recorded at Ramannapet.

Meteorology
Meteorology plays a vital role in determining the transport and diffusion pattern of air
pollutants released into the atmosphere. The principal variables include horizontal convective
transport (average wind speed and direction), vertical convective transport (atmospheric
stability) and topography of the area. Meteorological characteristics of an area are very much
important in assessing possible environmental impacts and in preparing environmental
management plan. Meteorological factors are time dependent and changes with respect to
time, thus, meaningful interpretation can be drawn only from long-term reliable data. For
collecting the baseline data, understanding of the meteorological conditions at the Project site
is done through study period records data obtained from India Meteorological Department
(IMD) (1981-2010). The prime importance of understanding the factor wind speed / wind
direction from the IMD data was to determine the baseline monitoring sites for air with respect

Conclusion:

The nearest IMD station from the Project Site is Hyderabad located at approx. 65.5 km in
distance in west direction. The dominant wind direction of the area (where proposed project is
located) during the summer period is from south east direction and second dominant wind
direction is observed to be from south. Thus, the site selection for assessing the ambient air
quality within the 10 km radius from the Project site is done in the upwind, downwind & cross
wind of the dominant wind direction. As far as the annual wind pattern of the area is concern,
the same wind patterns are observed which is also taken in to consideration for location
selection of the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring.

Micro-Meteorology Condition at Site

Meteorological station was set-up at project site to record surface meteorological parameter
during Summer Season (March to May, 2024). Theoretically, meteorological parameters such as
Temperature, Humidity and Wind Speed / Wind Direction are the basic parameter which helps
in determining the ambient environment quality of the area. Thus, primary data for the Wind
speed / Wind Direction, Temperature and Humidity was recorded during the study period.
Based on the collected micro-meteorological data, relative percentage frequencies of different
wind directions and speed were calculated and plotted as a wind rose diagram as given in
Figure 3.13 (b). The percentage calculated for all parameters wind speed, wind direction,
rainfall, temperature can influence the quality, dispersion and movement of the pollutant
thereby helps in the determining the impacts caused by the proposed project activity.

Wind Rose Diagram showing the wind pattern during the study period is shown in Figure - 3.13
(b). Summary of the micro-meteorology condition near to the site is given in Table 3.6. Detailed
Hourly Micro-Meteorological Data has been enclosed as Annexure – 3. with this EIA / EMP

Mixing Height
Mixing Height (MH) is the vertical extent through which the contaminant plume can be mixed.
Forecasting of mixing height is done with the aid of the vertical temperature profile. The MH is
a function of stability. In unstable air, the MH is higher and in stable air, the MH is lower. With a
lower MH, there is a smaller volume of air in which the pollutant can be dispersed, resulting in
higher concentrations in the ambient environment.
There is a seasonal variation of MH. During summer daylight hours, MH can be few thousand
feet whereas for winter it can be a few hundred feet. It varies also in the course of a day. It is
lowest at night and increases during the day. As site specific mixing heights were not available,
mixing heights based on IMD publication, “Atlas of Hourly Mixing Height and Assimilative
Capacity of Atmosphere in India”, has been considered for Industrial Source Complex model to
establish the worst-case scenario. Secondary information has been used to determine the
mixing height over the study region for the study period i.e., summer Season and it varies from
190 - 4980 meters (IMD).
3.5.5 Ambient Air Environment
Ambient air quality monitoring is done to determine the general background concentration
levels. Samples were collected in the 10 km study area to observe pollution trends throughout
the region. It helps in providing a database for evaluation of effects of a project activity in that
region. It will be also useful in ascertaining the quality of air environment in conformity to
standards of the ambient air quality during operation phase of project.
Monitoring Parameters
The samples were collected for the following air quality determinants:
• Sulphur Dioxide (SO2)
• Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2)
• Particulate Matter (PM10 and PM2.5)
• Carbon Monoxide (CO)
• Poly Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAH) Analytical methods prescribed by CPCB & approved Indian
Standard methods were used for carrying out air quality monitoring.

Draft EIA/EMP for Proposed Standalone Cement Grinding Unit with Cement Production of 6.0 MMTPA
(Line I - 3.0 MMTPA and Line II- 3.0 MMTPA) located at Village-Ramannapet, Taluka-Ramannapet,
District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Observations:
Ambient Air Quality Monitoring results reveal that the measured concentration for PM2.5
varied between 21.93 µg/m3 (at Village Ramannapet) to 26.06 µg/m3 (at Proposed Site) and
the concentration of PM10 varied between 54.39 µg/m3 (at Village Ramannapet) to 60.15
µg/m3 (at Village Vallanki).
As far as the gaseous pollutants NO2 and SO2 are concerned, the concentrations of SO2 and
NO2 were found to be in range of 9.84 µg/m3 (at Village Nernamula) to 9.99 µg/m3 (at Village
Tummalgudem) and 11.53 µg/m3 (at Village Padda Kaparti & Village Vallanki) to 11.84 µg/m3
(at Village Tummalgudem & Village Shivanenigudem) respectively.
Interpretation:
The concentration of the dust pollutants (i.e., PM2.5 & PM10) were found minimum at Village
Ramannapet and gaseous pollutants (i.e., NO2 and SO2) were found minimum at Village
Nernamula & Village Padda Kaparti & Village Vallanki respectively. Maximum dust pollutants
(i.e., PM2.5 & PM10) were found at Proposed Site & Village Vallanki and maximum gaseous
pollutant SO2 and NO2 were found at Village Tummalgudem. Tummalgudem & Village
Shivanenigudem and is a populated area resulting in the increased human activities such as
construction and vehicular movement and this might be the reason for such high concentration
of pollutants in this location. But as the Village is located at a distance of ~5 km in NW direction
from the proposed site and in non-predominant wind direction. Therefore, in future it can be
predicted that the area will not be impacted due to the proposed project. The present land use
of the project site is agricultural and no other human interference/activity is recorded in the
site resulting in such low concentrations of the PM2.5 & PM10.
Conclusion:
All the parameters at the sampling locations were found well within the prescribed NAAQ
Standards. But it is expected from the proposed project activities of the project, that the
increased transportation during the operation phase as well as construction phase will increase
the pollutant concentration in the nearby village, primarily in the village falling in the downwind
direction and will affect nearby agriculture land but proper mitigation measures has been
proposed and will be implemented by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL) to reduce the

incorporated in the Chapter- 4 & 10 of this EIA/EMP report.
3.5.6 Noise Environment
Noise often defined as unwanted sound, interferes with speech communication, causes
annoyance, distracts from work, and disturbs sleep, thus deteriorating quality of human
environment. Source of Noise There are several sources of noise in the 10 km radius of the
study area, which contributes to the local noise level of the area. Ambient noise sources in the
vicinity of the proposed Project site includes noise from traffic on road, human activities in
Village, agricultural activities and small scale and medium industries.
Ambient Noise Level
In order to know the baseline noise levels, in and around the Proposed Project site, noise levels
were measured at site and Villages in the 10 km radius of study area. Sampling Schedule The
sampling was done during day time & night time once in the study period. Sampling Locations
Monitoring stations selected for ambient noise level monitoring during the study period are
given in Table 3.10 & shown in Figure. Residential area, Commercial area and Sensitive area
were mainly focused for the noise level monitoring

Observations:
• Within the 10 km radius of study area the noise levels at the sampling locations are under
the prescribed limits as given by the CPCB.
• During day time, Noise level varies from minimum - 48.4 Leq dB (A) (at Near Village
Nernamula) to maximum – 51.3 Leq dB (A) (at Village Ramannapet).
• During night time, Noise level varies from minimum – 35.9 Leq dB (A) (at Project Site) to
maximum - 40 Leq dB (A) (at Village Vallanki).
Interpretation:
The prime cause for the higher values near Proposed Site during the day time {53 Leq dB (A)}
and night time maximum value at Village Vallanki {40 Leq dB (A)} is the presence of commercial
and human activities, transportation of heavy-duty vehicles on NH- 161 AA (Bhuvanagiri-
Nalgonda). The minimum noise level for Night & Day time was observed at 48.4 Leq dB (A) (at
Near Village Nernamula) and 35.9 Leq dB (A) (at Project Site) respectively. Village Nernamula
has less population as compared to other villages in which monitoring was done in the study
area and is mainly occupied by the agricultural land.
Conclusion:
As per baseline study, it can be concluded that noise levels in the study area are within the
prescribed limits as prescribed under the Noise Pollution (Regulation and Control) Rules, 2000.
But it is predicted from the proposed project that, raw material and finished product
transportation can increase the noise level in the nearby areas when compared to the current

downstream and maximum (29.5) at Musi River up stream. This indicates that water is
slightly alkaline more in nature at Musi up stream.
• The color is found to be 6 Hazen unit at Musi River up stream and 4 Hazen unit at Musi River
downstream. The turbidity is found to be 9 NTU at Musi River up stream and 3 NTU at Musi
River downstream and the taste parameter was not conducted for the surface water body
monitoring.
• The surface water quality indicators were found to be: Total Hardness as CaCO3 (436 mg/l at
Musi River up stream to 348 mg/l at Jamdhai Nala); Alkalinity as CaCO3 (408 mg/l at River up
stream to 306 mg/l at Musi River downstream); Total Dissolved Solids (1394 mg/l at Musi
River up stream to 348 mg/l at Musi River downstream); BOD (1.4 mg/l at Musi River up
stream to to 2.0 mg/l at Musi River downstream); COD (8 mg/l at Musi River up stream to 12
mg/l at Musi River downstream). The level of DO varies from 6.5 mg/l at Musi River up
stream to 6.0 mg/l at Musi River downstream).
• The concentration of other chemical parameters was found to be: Chlorides: 301.35 mg/l at
Musi River up stream to 189.81mg/l at Musi River downstream); Sulphate: (85.83mg/l at
Musi River up stream to 80.06mg/l at Musi River downstream) ,Magnesium: (63.18mg/l at
Musi River up stream to 40.82mg/l at Musi River downstream); Calcium: (70.4mg/l at Musi
River up stream to 72mg/l at Musi River downstream); Fluoride: (0.41 mg/l at Musi River up
stream to 0.28 mg/l at Musi River downstream).
Interpretation:
Physio - chemical analysis of surface water samples mentioned above reveals that there is
variation in chemical composition of water samples from nearby river. The collected samples
were analyzed with respect to CPCB water quality norms for Class “A to E”. The results indicate
that the Dissolved Oxygen is more than BOD at Musi River up stream and have high TDS value
and thus Falls in Class “E” (i.e., irrigation, industrial cooling and controlled waste disposal).
Conclusion:
From the above study and discussions, it can be concluded that surface water quality values in
the study area are within the acceptable limits. Therefore, the surface water available within
the study area is fit for the aquatic life. The proposed project will be utilizing ground water for

Draft EIA/EMP for Proposed Standalone Cement Grinding Unit with Cement Production of 6.0 MMTPA
(Line I - 3.0 MMTPA and Line II- 3.0 MMTPA) located at Village-Ramannapet, Taluka-Ramannapet,
District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Observation:
The physico-chemical quality of groundwater was compared with drinking water standard (IS:
10500 - 2012). The pH of the ground water at the sampled Village was observed as minimum
(7.01) at Padda Kaparti to maximum (8.00) at Village Vallanki indicating the water samples have
a pH quality slightly alkaline in nature. The color and turbidity were found to be BDL (DL 5.0)
and BDL (DL 1.0) respectively at all the sampled locations. The odour and taste were found
agreeable at all sampling locations.
The observed value of the ground water quality indicators varies from: Total Hardness as CaCO3
(152 mg/l at Village Dubbak to 248 mg/l at Village Vallanki); Alkalinity as CaCO3 (116 mg/l at
Dubbak village to 208 mg/l at Village Vallanki); Total Dissolved Solids (636 mg/l at Village
Ramannapet to 708 mg/l at Village Tummalgudem).
The concentration of chloride was found to be varying from (68.48 mg/l at Village Vallanki to
189.9 mg/l at Within project site); Sulphate from (32.82 mg/l at Village Vallanki to 106.24 mg/l
at Village Ramannapet); Magnesium (12.67mg/l at Project Site to 31.1 mg/l at Village Vallanki );
Calcium (28.8 mg/l at Village Dubbak to 59.2mg/l at Project Site); Iron varies from (0.04 mg/l at
Village Shivanenigudem to 0.24 mg/l at Village Vallanki); Fluoride varies from (0.11 mg/l at
Village Vallanki to 0.45 mg/l at Village Dubbak).
Interpretation:
Ground water is generally a good source of drinking water thus the physico-chemical quality of
groundwater was compared with drinking water standard (IS: 10500-2012). Alkalinity and Total
Disolved Solid for all the sampling locations were found above the acceptable limits but below
the permissible limits. Total Dissolved Solid values of groundwater are mainly controlled by the
local rock type, thickness of soil cover, weathering processes, residence time of groundwater,
quantity of rainfall and above all, the climate of the area. The high Total Dissolved Solid value in
the study area may be due to irrigated agricultural activity, which uses fertilizers, herbicides
pesticides, and canal water for irrigation & local hydro-geological condition of the area.
Conclusion:
As per the baseline study it can be concluded that ground water quality values in the study area
are within the permissible limits as per the drinking water standards (IS: 10500-2012).

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Observation: The physico-chemical soil quality was compared and analyzed using the standard
soil classification given by IARI.
• The pH of the soil samples varies from 7.37 at Tummalgudem village to 8.05 at Village
Shivanenigudem which indicates the soil samples are slightly acidic to slightly alkaline in
nature.
• The texture of the soil samples majorly consists of Sandy Clay to Sandy Loam.
• The soil samples exhibit fairly distributed among Greyish, Yellowish and Dark Brown colour.
The indicator such as Organic Matter varies from 1.3 % to 2.1 %. The minimum values for
Organic Matter and Organic Carbon were observed at Within project site and Village Vallanki
respectively. The maximum values for Organic Matter and Organic Carbon were observed at
both Village Padda Kaparti and Village Shivanenigudem respectively.
Examined six essential nutrients required for an ideal plant growth, which are Nitrogen,
Phosphorus, Potassium, Magnesium and Calcium. All the essential nutrients were observed to
be; Nitrogen (112.56 kg/ha at Village Vallanki to 227.6 kg/ha at Village Padda Kaparti),
Phosphorous (351.7 kg/ha at Within project site to 654 kg/ha at Village Padda Kaparti),
Potassium (8.8 kg/ha at Village Ramannapet to 38.6 kg/ha at Within project site), Magnesium (5
mg/kg at Village Tummalgudem and Padda Kaparti to 12 mg/kg at Dubbak) and Calcium (6
mg/kg at Village Padda Kaparti to 42 mg/kg at Within project site)
Interpretation:
Soil pollution is mainly generated by the anthropogenic activities. It is observed that majority of
the sampled location have a good quality and fertile soil within core and buffer zone. As per the
Indian Agricultural Research Institute Handbook, the pH property of all the soil samples is found
to be slightly acidic to slightly alkaline in nature which is an optimal range for the various
commercial crops. Electrical conductivity of the all the samples found to be average. The
texture of the soil samples majorly consists of Sandy Clay and Sandy loam, which have a
moderate ability to hold nutrients and leaching is less severe. The samples have normal percent
of Organic Carbon and Organic Matter, which is suitable for the plant growth. As observed, the
essential nutrients within the soil of the sampled Villages, Nitrogen Content was observed to be
present in sufficient quantity, Phosphorus was available in sufficient quantity and Potassium

was found to be in more than sufficient quantity. The soil sampled locations also have optimum
calcium and Sodium values which resulted in alkaline nature of the soil. Therefore, due to the
suitable and fertile soil, majority of the buffer area is falls under the agricultural land.
Conclusion:
From the above study and discussions, it can be concluded that soil quality in the study area is
fertile and is safe for the agricultural activities. The proposed Stand-alone Grinding Unit will not
be discharging any effluent by the plant operation activities which can result in the
contamination of the soil. Only the contamination due to fugitive emission, PM emission from
plant, etc. through the transportation activities is majorly envisaged but various adequate
mitigative measures will be adopted by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).and the details are

and as such, were not evident at the time of visit. The report represents ecological status of the
area during the particular period of the study.
Approach of the study

To assess the ecological issues and document flora and fauna associated with the project,
following tasks were undertaken:
1. Preliminary site visit
2. Desk Study
3. Core zone and Buffer Zone Survey

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Desk Study
The purpose of desk study is to identify habitats and species of local conservation value which
may not have been present or apparent during the survey visit e.g. spring/monsoon periods.
Desk study is also helpful in understanding the historical biodiversity and ecological status of
the site. The desk study is carried out by literature survey in respect of ecology and biodiversity
of the region. The information has been collected specific to the region and quoted in the
report accordingly.

Habitat Survey

This survey involves collection of flora and fauna under various strategies which differed as per
habit and habitat of concerned group of species.

Flora
Project area has been explored during the field visit and documented as checklist of floral
diversity of core and buffer zone. Plants have systematically identified and listed in field area
however, photograph of unidentified vegetation from all kinds of habitats and vegetations have
been taken and followed standard herbarium techniques for identification (Jain & Rao 1977).
Micro-floral study (Lower Plants) Pteridophytes have been studied. The correct nomenclature
has been provided after consulting large number of recent literature and different websites like
GRIN, IPNI, ILDIS, The Plant List, Wikipedia, Tropicos, etc. RET Category of flora and fauna has
been confirmed by Red Data Book IUCN checklist and Wildlife Protection Act, 2022 status. The
structure and composition of vegetation / forest cover was studied by using Phytosociological
methods. In each quadrat, Plants with more than 30 cm CBH at breast height (1.37 m) have
been considered as tree species and all individuals with circumference ≥ 30 cm CBH at breast
height (1.37 m) have been counted and measured for basal area (BA) calculation.
Field surveys were undertaken to analyze and estimate diversity, density, dominance and
frequency of different members of plant population. Observations were made in the forest area
as well as in non-forest areas by laying plots and adopting quadrat method. The quadrat
method includes preparation of square sample plots or units for quantitative analysis of
vegetation. As per sample plot method by Clements (1898), EIA Book (ch.7,pp.44) was followed.

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
Fauna and Avifauna

The assessment of wild fauna was made based on random sightings. For terrestrial and aquatic
faunal study, we have identified birds, reptile, amphibians, fishes and animals by field guide.
The secondary evidences were also recorded through calls, dung boles, scats, and spoors, rub
signs, signs of debarking, drag mark etc. for identification of fauna. Bird field guides (eg.
Grimmette et al. 2003) has been used for bird identification. For birds, actual counts at each
sampling site were made, by walk through in a chosen one kilometer stretch of the site and the
number of birds were directly counted and listed. Species list was prepared along with
taxonomic position of each species.

Sampling Stations
Majority of the region and the study area falling in 10 km radius, consists of many commercial
activities. Therefore, sampling locations were strategically selected to collect the maximum
data on vegetation pattern, faunal diversity and habitat diversity.

Observations

Observations are made for all possible habitats and flora-fauna species in and around the 10
Km radius from the proposed site (except micro-organisms). All possible landscape features
within core zone have been covered. The observations recorded are site, time and season
specific. However, the actual observation data was supported by data obtained from secondary
sources i.e. reports, research papers, literature survey etc.
The Project being a Cement Grinding Unit, the impact of the project can be multifold and
therefore the ecological richness and sensitivity of the locations have been examined critically.
Habitat and Forest Type Diversity the types of vegetation in any area are determined by
climatic, edaphic and biotic factors coupled with altitude. The wide variations in climate and
topography of the State have resulted in various types of forest growth. Champion & Seth
(1968) classified the Indian forests into 6 types. Based on this classification, the forest types can
be categorized into 6 types. Since these forests fall in the tropical zone, all the names are
preceded by the word ‘tropical’.

gentle slope towards South and South West. The study area covers Musi River within 10km
radius. There are only first order seasonal courses that finally drains into second order course
and further third order. These seasonal nallah traverse in the Buffer zone areas from SW which
is considered as the tributaries. Apart from this, no major drainage courses that drains with in
the proposed project site. Hence the study area covering the 10 Km radius from the study area
is a plain terrain. The overall general slope is towards South West. There is no major or
irrigation tanks in this area.

species were not observed during the study in the study core area. The diversity survey
indicated that the diversity of trees, shrubs and herbs were high in buffer zone compare to both
core zones due to natural vegetation occurred in study area. The landscape in the core zone
mine area has fragmented vegetation therefore representing lower value of vegetation
compared to the beneficiation core zone and buffer zone.

3.6 Socio-Economic Features

Methodology Adopted for the Study

The methodology adopted for the study is based on the following process:
Review of Secondary Data
Baseline data on Socio-economic parameters were generated using information available with
Government agencies, census data etc. Data from the secondary sources, viz. the latest
available District Statistical Handbook, 2011 Census data and various census updates based on
the 2011 census, were explored / reviewed for getting the demographic profile, viz., number of
households, population, social composition, literacy and occupational structure, etc. of the
population within the study area (10 km radius) of the project site.
The secondary data was used to supplement the primary data collected through limited field
survey.

Field Survey
Socio-economic survey was carried out covering the villages / towns of the study area to
record awareness, opinion, apprehensions, quality of life and expectations of the local people
about the proposed project. The opinion of local people about the proposed project was
obtained through Socio-economic survey of the villages / towns in the study area (for pictures
refer Plate).
A brief about the sampling design adopted for the field survey is described below. The survey
has been conducted through specially designed questionnaire covering the main aspect of the
present study. In addition to the field data, secondary data / information collected, compiled
and published by different Governmental agencies / departments were also collected and
utilized appropriately.

Studies conducted following villages Vallanki, Tummalgudem, Ramannapet,Dubbak,

Shivanenigudem, Padda Kaparti, and Nernamula.

Group discussion taken during socioeconomic study of selected 8 villages study area
Sampling Design
For selection of respondents from the study area, Two Stage Random Sampling has been
adopted. In the first stage, villages are selected and in the second stage, households /
respondents are selected. From each selected village, the respondents are selected randomly to
account intra-village variability among the respondents for the character under study. As the
variability of the characters in each study strata does not vary widely among the households, a
smaller sample size is expected to represent the population.
Samples of about 50 respondents from 8 villages were drawn from the study area. The sample
covers an estimated 250 persons.
Composition of the Questionnaire
Households / respondents were interviewed with the structured questionnaire specifically
designed for this study keeping in view the objectives of the study. The questionnaire consists
of following major sections:
a. Demographic profile of the households
b. Educational status
c. Health status
d. Information on agricultural situation

Existing Socio-Economic Scenario

The information on socio-economic aspects of the study area as defined in this Chapter has
been compiled from secondary sources, which include various public offices. The sociological
aspects of this study include human settlements, demography, social, such as Scheduled castes
and Scheduled Tribes and literacy levels besides infrastructure facility available in the study
area. The economic aspects include occupational structure of workers. The salient features of
the demographic and socio-economic details are presented in the following sections.
Administrative Setup of Yadadri Bhuvangiri District
The District is divided into 2 Sub divisions for administrative convenience. A Sub division is
headed by a Revenue Divisional Officer in the rank of a Deputy Collector or a Sub – Collector in
Cadre of IAS. He is the Sub Divisional Magistrate having jurisdiction over his division. An
administrative Officer in the Cadre of a Tahsildar assists in administration. The Sub divisional
Offices are a replica of Collectorate in the matter of number of sections and they act as
intermediary in the administrative setup.
Again the sub divisions divided into Mandals. Yadadri District Consists of 17 Mandals. Mandal is
headed by Tahsildar. The Tahsildar is vested with the same powers and functions of Tahsildars
of erstwhile Taluks including magisterial powers. Tahsildar heads the tehsil Office. Tahsildar
provides the interface between the government and public within his jurisdiction. He initiates
welfare measures within his jurisdiction. The tahsildar assists the higher authorities in collecting
information and conducting inquiries. He provides feedback to the district administration that

Occupational Structure
The occupational structure of residents in the study area is analysed with reference to main
workers, marginal workers and non-workers. The main workers include 10 categories of
workers defined by the Census Department consisting of cultivators, agricultural laborers, those
engaged in live-stock, forestry, fishing, mining and quarrying; manufacturing, processing and
repairs in household industry; and other than household industry, construction, trade and
commerce, transport and communication and other services.
The marginal workers are those workers engaged in some work for a period of less than six
months during the reference year prior to the census survey. The non-workers include those
engaged in unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependents, beggars, vagrants
etc.; institutional inmates or all other non-workers who do not fall under the above categories.

The survey data revels that most of the people engaged in the primary sector. The highest
percentage of people engaged in the NTFP collection with mainly consist of sal leave, mahua
flower and seed, kendu leaves, roots of different plant, wood resin (jhuna) and honey, this
constitute 35.6% followed by labour (24%), farmer (21.0%). Around 18.5% people engaged

survey data revels that most of the people engaged in the primary sector. The highest
percentage of people engaged in the NTFP collection with mainly consist of sal leave, mahua
flower and seed, kendu leaves, roots of different plant, wood resin (jhuna) and honey,
this constitute 35.6% followed by labour (24%), farmer (21.0%). Around 18.5% people
engaged in the higher income segment i.e. in business, work in mine as mines worker and
services.

The occupational structure of Rural Population in the study area is shown in Table 3.24. As per
2011 census altogether the main workers work out to be 38.53%, 40.63% and 39.89% of the
total population, within 5km, 5-10km and 10 km radius, respectively. The marginal workers
constitute approximately 9.05% within 0-5 km, 5.92 % within 5-10 km and 7.04 % within 0-10
km radius of the total population. The non-workers constitute approximately 52.4%, 53.43 %
and 53.06% of the total population, within 0-5 km and 5-10 km and 0-10 km radius respectively.
The distribution of workers by occupation indicates that the non-workers are the predominant
population. The marginal workers can possibly be the pool for unskilled labour for the proposed
project.

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
A review of infrastructure facilities available in Yadadri Bhuvanagiri District has been done
based on the information available at the websites of Directorate of Economics and Statistics,
Department of Medical and Family Welfare, National Health Mission, Medical Health and
Family Welfare Department, Government of Karnataka and limited field survey.
Apart from collecting data from secondary sources, a review of infrastructure facilities available
in the area has also been given on the basis of field survey of the study area. In this exercise the
villages which fall within 10 km radius around the site has been considered. Infrastructure
facilities available in the area are presented below.
Educational Facilities
• Education is a very important determinant of socio-economic development of any area.
Universal primary education is one of the essential development strategies of a developing
country like India, which focus mainly over raising the Net Enrolment Ratio (NER) in primary
education. As per Government of India norms, the education facilities available should be as
follows:
• Availability of primary school within one kilometer of habitation,
• Availability of middle school within 3 kilometer of habitation and
• Availability of high school and secondary education within 5 kilometers of habitation
The district has 481 primary schools and 68 upper primary schools, 163 High Schools, 11 KGBV,
22 Degree Colleges, 27 Engineering Colleges. As per the Government of India norms, the
education facilities in the district in general and in particular in the blocks falling in study area
are less than adequate to fulfill the Government of India norms.
Most of the villages in the study area, Anganwadis and schools up to primary level. Schools up
to Middle Level are found in some villages / panchayats. Hence there is a need to develop the
educational facilities by establishing a greater number of secondary and higher secondary level
schools in the area.

Adequate provision of transport is a prerequisite for economic development in general and
rural development in particular. It acts as a catalyst both for production and distribution system
of the economy. The economic development requires a well-developed transport network.
Roadways are the principal mode of transport in the district. There has been phenomenal
increase in road transport in the district during 11th plan period. Though passenger service is
made available to all the Community Development Block Headquarters (HQs) and Taluk HQs.

the health care facilities and system needs attention. The delivery of Primary Health Care is the
foundation of the rural health care system and is an integral part of the national health care
system. Since they have to function from limited space and cannot expand the current spaces.
There are no vehicles available at the PHC level. Hence in case of emergencies vehicles are
called from the nearby CHC and then the patient is transported to a higher facility center.
Shortage of human resource is one of the biggest challenges currently faced by the public
health institutions in the district. Due to absence of Blood Bank management of complicated
cases is also not being done at the facility.

3.6.4 People Perception about the Project

In order to prepare comprehensive report villages in the project area and core zone, i.e. 0-2 km
radius of proposed project were visited for conducting sample village surveys. The surveys were
conducted by administering a structured questionnaire about: socio-economic aspects,
including questions on the aspirations and requirements of the people for a better living. The
village schedule was filled in order to capture the overall condition of the village with respect to
community land, major crops produced, sources of irrigation, availability of potential earning
opportunities in the vicinity, community institutions (schools, Anganwadi centre, health

subcentre, community centre, places of worship, etc.), availability of electricity, provision of
drainage and toilet facility etc.

Conclusion

The socio-economic study of surveyed villages gives a clear picture of its population, average
household size, literacy rate and sex ratio etc. It was also found that a part of population was
suffering from lack of earning source to run their day-to-day life. Their expectation is to earn
some income for their sustainability on a long-term basis.
The infrastructure and amenities available in the area denotes the economic wellbeing of the
region. The study area as a whole possesses an average level of infrastructural facilities. This
area lacks higher level of amenities like higher education, health, drinking water and
communication network. In terms of education and health facilities, the area is less than
moderate. The area needs more medical facilities as it has not even one maternity and child
care center. Though the area is well connected with road transport and communication
facilities, still more frequent bus service is required.
The overall socio-economic status of the target population is average in terms of literacy, work
participation rate etc.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES

4.1 Environmental Impact Study

Anticipated environmental impacts of the Proposed Stand-alone Grinding Unit would be mainly
due to the construction and operational activities. The environmental parameters which are
likely to be affected includes physical, social, and economic, agriculture and aesthetic. The
industrial operations can disturb the environment in various ways, such as minor change in air,
noise level; water and soil quality of that particular area. While for the purpose of development
and economic up–liftment of people, there is need for establishment of industries, but the
development needs to be environmentally friendly and more sustainable. Therefore, it is
essential to assess the impacts of proposed project on different environmental and socio-
economic parameters; so that, abatement measures could be planned in advance to minimize/
reduce, mitigate, offset or compensate for adverse impacts; and to enhance positive impacts
wherever practicable. The likely impacts on different environmental parameters due to the
Proposed Stand-alone Grinding Unit are discussed below:

4.2 Methodology of Impact Assessment

The impact assessment has been undertaken following a systematic process that identifies,
predicts and evaluates the impacts of project that could have on aspects of the physical,
biological, social/ socio-economic and cultural environment. Also, identifies measures that the
project will take to avoid, minimize/reduce, mitigate, offset or compensate for adverse impacts;
and to enhance positive impacts where practicable. The stages of the impact assessment
process comprise of the following:

Impact identification: to identify the potential source of impact of the project on the various
environmental parameters.
Impact prediction: to determine what could potentially happen to resources/receptors as a
consequence of the project and its associated activities.
Impact evaluation: to evaluate the significance of the predicted impacts by considering their

magnitude and likelihood of occurrence, and the sensitivity, value and/or importance of the
affected resources/ receptors.
Impact mitigation: to identify appropriate and justified measures to mitigate negative impacts
and enhance positive impacts.
4.3 Basis of Impact Assessment
The impact of the proposed Stand-alone grinding project would be assessed on the basis of
their characteristics i.e., nature, type, extent, duration, intensity & frequency and its
significance.
Characteristics of Impacts
The impact is described in terms of its characteristics such as nature, type etc. Impact
characteristics are given in Table 4.1.
Table 4.1: Impact Characteristics

Characteristic Classification Description

Nature Positive When impact is considered to represent improvement to
baseline or introduce a new positive factor/change.
Negative When impact is considered to represent adverse change
from the baseline or introduce a new undesirable
factor/change.
Neutral When there is no impact to represent any change from the
baseline and not introducing any new factor/change.
Type Direct Resulting from a direct interaction between a project activity
and the receiving environment / receptors.
Indirect Resulting from other activities that happened as a
consequence of the project.
Cumulative Impacts that work together with other impacts (including
those from concurrent or planned future third-party
operations) to influence the same resources and/or
receptors as the Project
Extent Project Area When impact due to the project related activities is
restricted within the premises of project area i.e., core zone.
Local When impact due to the project related activities is
restricted within the immediate surroundings i.e., up to 5 km
radius.
Zonal When impact due to the project related activities is
restricted within the study area i.e., up to 10 km radius.
Regional When an impact due to the project activity extends within as

well as beyond 10 km radius.
Duration Short - term When the impact is usually temporary or last for a short time
or will have an effect soon rather than in the distant future.
Long- term When impact would occur during the development of the
project and either takes a long time or lasts a long time or
cause a permanent change in the affected
receptor/resource.
Intensity Low When resulting in slight changes of prevailing baseline
conditions and quality of existing physical environment is
good. Ecological environments as well as human receptors
are not likely to be affected due to the proposed project
activity
Medium When resulting in changes of prevailing baseline conditions
which are within the benchmark norms and quality of
existing physical environment shows some signs of stress.

standards/guidelines with or without mitigation.
Moderate Where an effect will be experienced and the impact is within accepted
standards/guidelines with mitigation.
Major Impact where an accepted limit or standard may be exceeded or the impact
occurs to the highly valued/sensitive resource/receptors

Irreversible and Irretrievable commitments of environmental components

Determining the irreversible and irretrievable commitment of the resources is one of the major
stages of impact evaluation, which gives an understanding about the potential impacts that are
likely to affect future generations of the area and facilitates for adoption of proper mitigation
measure regarding the same.
Table 4.3: Irreversible and Irretrievable commitments of environmental components
Commitment Description
of resources
Irreversible Irreversible commitment of resources refers to the impact or loss of the
resources that cannot be recovered or reversed. Irreversible is a term that
describes the loss of future options. It applies primarily to the impacts of use
of nonrenewable resources or to those factors that are renewable only over
long period of time.
Irretrievable Irretrievable is a term that applies to the loss of production, harvest, or use of
natural resources. Irretrievable commitment of resources may be considered
as the loss of resources as a result of change (both reversible & irreversible)
due to any project activity that cannot be regained or recovered.

4.4 Interaction Matrix

The interaction matrix enables a methodical identification of the potential interactions each
project activity may have on the range of resources/receptors within the Area of Influence for
the Project. The interaction matrix for the project activities and likely impacted
resources/receptors is presented in Table - 4.4 which covers potential interactions, regardless
of probability of occurrence. The matrix consists of a list of resources/ receptors that could be
affected against a list of project activities. Entries in the matrix cells are tick marked to indicate
whether:
• An interaction is not reasonably expected (blank);
• The interaction is reasonably possible and may lead to potential impact (tick marked)

• Out of the total project area i.e., 26.52 ha, 33.63 % of the total area (i.e., 8.92 ha) will be
developed under greenbelt/plantation.
Anticipated Impact on Air Quality and Mitigation Measures

Construction Phase: Anticipated Impacts

Increase in dust (Particulate Matter) and NOx concentration beyond the threshold limit due to
Leveling activity and Heavy vehicular movement.
• Dust emission due to movement of equipment at site, leveling, grading, earthwork and
foundation works.
• Exhaust emissions from vehicles and equipment to be deployed during construction phase,
is also likely to result in marginal increase in the levels of PM and un-burnt hydrocarbons.
• Dust will also be generated from stockpiles of construction material (aggregates and sand).
The impact will be for short duration. This will be confined within the project boundary and is
expected to be negligible outside the project boundary and within the threshold limit. The
impact will, however, be reversible, marginal and temporary in nature.

Mitigation Measures
• Sprinkling of water on construction site and on unpaved roads will be done will be done
during the grinding unit construction.
• Development of Plantation around/ within the Plant premises.
• Construction equipment having PUC certificate will be deployed during the activity to
restrict exhaust emission.

(B) Stack Emissions

From proposed Stand-Alone Grinding Unit, the major emission from the stack is Particulate
Matter (PM) emissions.

Air Quality Predictions through Mathematical Modeling

For obtaining quantitative value of impacts, modelling for air environment is carried out.
Mathematical modelling is an established and accepted technique to predict the impacts. In this
section, impact on air environment due to emissions to be generated from the project have
been assessed. Prediction of impacts on air environment has been carried out employing
mathematical model based on a steady state Gaussian plume dispersion model designed for
multiple point sources for short term. In the present case, AERMOD version 9.9.0 dispersion
model based on steady state Gaussian plume dispersion, designed for multiple sources and
developed by United States Environmental Protection Agency [USEPA] has been used for
simulations from Industrial sources. The concentrations have been predicted in all directions
covering all types of weather conditions. Spatial distributions of all the pollutants are also
presented in the form of Isopleths.

(i) Pollutants/Model Options Considered for Computations

The model simulations deal with major pollutant Particulate Matter (PM) emitted from the
project activity.

(ii) Model Options Used for Computations

The options used for short-term computations in AERMOD are:

• The plume rise is estimated by Briggs formulae, but the final rise is always limited to that of
the mixing layer;
• Stack tip down-wash is not considered;
• Buoyancy Induced Dispersion is used to describe the increase in plume dispersion during
the ascension phase;
• Calms processing routine is used by default;
• Wind profile exponents is used by default, 'Irwin';
• Flat terrain is used for computations;
• It is assumed that the pollutants do not undergo any physio-chemical transformation and

that there is no pollutant removal by dry deposition;
• Washout by rain is not considered;
• Cartesian co-ordinate system has been used for computations; and
• The model computations have been done for total 20 km with 500-m interval.

by AERMOD version 9.9.0 as per CPCB guidelines. It is US-EPA approved model to predict
the air quality. The model uses rural dispersion and regulatory defaults options as per
guidelines on air quality models (PROBES/70/1997-1998). For this study, uniform polar
receptors on flat terrain have been assumed. Meteorological inputs required are hourly
wind speed and direction, ambient temperature, stability class, and mixing height.

Frequency data. Short-term simulations were carried to estimate concentrations at the
receptors to obtain an optimum description of variations in concentrations over the site in
10 km radius covering 16 directions. The incremental concentrations are estimated for the
monitoring period. For each time scale, i.e., for 24 hr. the model computes the highest
concentrations observed during the period over all the measurement points. Existing value
has been covered in the Background Ambient Air Quality Monitoring.

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
• Increased transportation can also lead to impacts on public health
Mode of Transportation of Raw Material, Fuel & Finished Product:
As the project area doesn’t have rail accessibility /connectivity, it is proposed that entire inward
and outward traffic/transportation will be by road. The site is connected by NH- 161 AA
(Bhuvanagiri-Nalgonda).
Existing Transportation Details
The site is well connected to NH- 161 AA(Bhuvanagiri-Nalgonda). (~0.56 km in NE direction).
Nearest railway station is Ramannapet (~0.570 m in North East direction), and nearest Airport is
Rajiv Gandhi International Airport, Hyderabad (~65.5 km in west direction from the project
site).
Traffic Study:
Vehicular missions not only contribute to the greenhouse effect but also participate in the
reaction that results in photochemical oxidants. The effect of photochemical oxidants is well
known for forming smog particularly in the urban areas. Among the anthropogenic sources of
pollutants forming the greenhouse gases, burning of fossil fuels constitute a major source.
Highway mobile sources that contribute significantly to poor quality have been regulated for
the past two decades in countries like India.
The absence of regulation in developing countries has caused a global concern regarding
potential environmental damage on a larger scale. The traffic survey was carried out on
Bhuvanagiri-Nalgonda - NH- 161 AA which is 0.56 km (E) to the proposed site. Vehicular traffic
counts were performed on either side of the studied roads to provide background values of
traffic density, and correlate such data to the levels of air pollution along the road. Vehicular
traffic on these roads included heavy vehicle, light vehicle, three wheelers, and two wheelers.
The additional traffic due to the project would also occur in this time duration only. A summary
of the data is presented in Table 4.8.

7.3.4 Disaster Management Plan: Definition

A major emergency in a work is one, which has the potential to cause serious injury or loss of
life. It may cause extensive damage to property and serious disruption both inside and outside
the work. It would require the assistance of emergency services to handle it in effective
manner.
Scope
The aim of hazard control and disaster management is concerned with preventing incidents
through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection, by which it is possible to reduce
the risk of an incident, but it is not possible to eliminate it. Since, absolute safety is not
achievable; an essential part of major hazard control must also include mitigating the effects of
a major incident. An important element of mitigation is emergency planning i.e., identifying
accidents as soon as possible, evaluating the consequences of such incidents and selection of
the emergency procedures, both on-site and off-site, that should be adopted in the event of an
emergency.
Objective The objectives of the emergency plan will be:
• To protect grinding unit personnel and general public.
• To prevent and minimize damage to property and to the environment.
• To help persons at site in a systematic manner meeting a disaster situation.
• To restore the affected areas back to normal as soon as possible.
• To review accident after it has occurred and to evaluate company’s efforts in order to
improve emergency management response in the future.

Off-Site Emergency Planning

An integral and non-separable part of any hazard control system is an off-site emergency plan.
It is based on those accidents identified by the works management, which could affect people
and the environment outside the works. Thus, the off-site plan follows logically from the
analysis that took place to provide the basis for the on-site plan and the two plans, therefore
complement each other. The roles of the various parties that may be involved in the
implementation of an off-site plan are described below. The responsibility for the off-site plan
will be likely to rest either with the works management or with the local authority. The plan

10.7 Energy & Natural Resource Conservation Measures
10.7.1 Energy Conservation
Energy management may broadly be said to have two aspects - energy conservation and energy
efficiency. Energy conservation includes behavioral or process control measures which avoid
wastage of resources, while offering provisions to harness or reuse waste energy. On the other
hand, energy efficiency implies obtaining greater production output using the same energy
input through application of technology. Being a greenfield project, energy efficient state-of-art
technology and process will be used. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL) will implement numerous
process control measures as well as energy efficient technologies which ensure proficient
management of its energy resources.

The following measures are proposed by Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL) for further reduction in
specific energy consumption:

• Energy Audits will be conducted at regular intervals.

• Power will be saved by Optimizing the Start/Stop Timings and interlocking of Equipment.
• Energy will be Saved by removing damper from Process fan and optimized operation with
Medium Voltage Drive (MVD).
• Variable speed drives

District: Yadadri Bhuvanagiri, State- Telangana by M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL).
• To conserve water and to replenish ground water resources of the area, rain water
harvesting system will be practiced for long term sustenance of the industry.
Rainwater harvesting/ artificial groundwater recharge is to be done to minimize the undesirable
effect on groundwater status. It is necessary that groundwater storage of an area must be
arranged by rainwater harvesting so that the existence of any industry does not adversely affect
the groundwater situation. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL) is proposing Rain water harvesting in
the proposed plant
10.8 Greenbelt Development & Plantation Programme
Objective Green cover in and around the plant is beneficial as it helps in attenuating air as well
as noise pollution. As it functions like a barrier between source and receptor. Improvement of
aesthetics is a bonus derived through the presence of greenery in Industrial areas. Greenbelt
are thought to be effective in such scenarios where green plants form a surface capable of
trapping air pollutants. Leaves with their vast area in a tree crown traps pollutants on their
surface and thus effectively reduces their concentrations in the ambient air. Often, the
absorbed pollutants are incorporated in the metabolic stream and the air is purified. Plants
grown in such a way so as to function as the pollutant sinks are collectively referred to as
greenbelts. Greenbelt is a mix of rows of trees and shrubs planted such a way that they form an
effective barrier between the Industry and the surroundings. The main purpose of greenbelt
development is to contribute to the following factors:
• To act as a carbon sink
• To attenuate noise levels generated from the Grinding Unit
• To improve the aesthetics in and around the Project Area
• To trap the vehicular emissions and fugitive dust emissions
• To maintain the ecological homeostasis
• To provide the possible habitats for birds and animals
• To prevent the soil erosion and to protect the natural vegetation
• To retain soil moisture Provision of wide greenbelt around the Project Site has been
foreseen to reduce any adverse impacts on the surrounding population due to emissions
from the activities of Proposed Grinding Unit. Plantation of trees will be done to suppress

the generation of dust and to enhance the aesthetic/ scenic value.
10.8.1 Guidelines for Greenbelt Development
Following guidelines will be followed for the Greenbelt Development Plan in the project area:
• The greenbelt development/plantation will be done as per Miyawaki Method.
• Soil and other environment should be very encouraging and the expected growth rate will
be about 80 - 85%.
• Trees growing upto a height of 5 m or more will be planted.
• Plantation of trees will be undertaken in and around the area in alternate rows to suppress
the horizontal pollution dispersion.
• Trees will be planted along the road sides to arrest dust and noise pollution in such a way
that there is no direct line of sight to the installation when viewed from a point outside the
foliage perimeter.
• Since, tree trunks are normally devoid of foliage (up to 3 m), it will be appropriate to have
shrubbery in form of such trees to give coverage to this portion.
• Fast growing trees with thick perennial foliage and dense crown cover will be grown
• Three tier plantations will be undertaken all along the project boundary.
10.8.2 Greenbelt/ Plantation Program
Total project area is 26.52 ha and out of the total project area, 8.92 ha area (i.e., ~33.63 %)
along with minimum width of 3 m around the periphery will be developed under greenbelt /
plantation in accordance with CPCB guidelines. It is proposed to plant 2500 saplings per hectare
as per Standard ToR Condition Point No. 7 (ix), considering the survival rate of 80 %. The
greenbelt development /plantation will be done as per Miyawaki Method and Local/Native
species will be planted as per CPCB guidelines.
Miyawaki Method
This method propounded by the Japanese botanist Akira Miyawaki in the 1980s, compresses
layers of forests - shrubs, trees, canopies on small plots of land, turning them into tiny forests.
The method involves planting two to four trees per square meter. Miyawaki forests grow in two
to three years and are self-sustaining. These forests have thirty times more trees than other
plantations.

Conclusion
There will be no significant environmental and social impact on the nearby area due to the
proposed project, as ACL ensures that an adequate preventive environment management plan
will be adopted to contain the various pollutants within permissible limits and to mitigate the
environmental impact (if any) with an estimated cost of Rs 20.1 crore earmarked for the
implementation of EMP. The development of greenbelts and plantations within the project
premises will be helpful in capturing the fugitive emissions, attenuating the noise generated,
thereby maintaining the air quality and noise levels, and also improving the aesthetic beauty of
the surrounding area.

The greenbelt or plantation around the unit, apart from increasing the green cover, will also act
as an effective barrier between the proposed project and its surroundings. Regular monitoring
of all the components of the environment will be done as per MoEF, CC, and UPPCB. Regular
monitoring, management, and timely compliance with the Environment Protection Norms
prescribed by TSPCB, MoEF & CC, and other regulatory bodies will be ensured.

The proposed grinding unit of M/s. Ambuja Cements Limited (ACL), with an investment of Rs.
1400 crore in the district, apart from generating revenues for the central and state exchequer
and bridging the demand-supply gap for cement in the marketing regions, will also narrow
down the prevailing unemployment in the area by generating direct and indirect employment
opportunities. The local economy will receive a boost due to employee spending and services
generated by the company. The overall effect will enhance the income of the locals and
employees, thus increasing their purchasing capacity and higher standard of living, viz., better
education, improved health and sanitation facilities, housing, etc. The implementation of the
proposed project in the region will have major positive benefits, which will ultimately lead to
the sustainable development of the region.
