ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT AND MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR SETTING UP OF AN INDUSTRY - A CASE STUDY

The study covers an assessment of the status of environment i.e. Baseline Conditions in a core area of 10 km radius from the project site for environmental components and categorization of the Project. The study was organized to incorporate all relevant legal requirements and critical issues of the proposed project. Desk research was undertaken to gather relevant information from available sources followed by intensive site inspections to the proposed plant location for getting further relevant details of the proposed project and collection of primary and secondary baseline information for various components of environment. EIA was conducted considering baseline status and estimated pollution generation consequent to proposed project. An Environmental Management Plan has been prepared giving various measures to be adopted to mitigate the negative impacts so that the project would become environment friendly. Objective of this study broadly includes: A characterization of the project environment in respect of air, water, land, biotic, noise and socio-economic environment. Prediction of likely impacts of the various chemicals used in the manufacturing process on the various components of environment through review of the process design and all pollution control measures and final prepare environment management plan to mitigate the negative impacts.
