and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata Environmental Management Plan (EMP) 10.1 Introduction The Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is a site specific plan developed to ensure that the project is implemented in an environmental sustainable manner where all contractors and subcontractors, including consultants, understand the potential environmental risks arising from the proposed project and take appropriate actions to properly manage that risk. EMP also ensures the project implementation is carried out in accordance with the design by taking appropriate mitigative actions to reduce adverse environmental impacts during its life cycle. The plan outlines existing and potential problems that may adversely impact the environment and recommends corrective measures where required. Also, the plan outlines roles and responsibility of the key personnel and contractors who are charged with the responsibility to manage the Apollo Hospital building, Kolkata. The impact previously identified having some adverse effect on the different environmental attributes along with some beneficial impact of the project, both during construction and operation of the Apollo Hospital building. Proper mitigatory measures if implemented can reduce the negative impact during construction and operation. The environmental management plan is therefore prepared to minimise the adverse impact. The EMP is generally: • Prepared in accordance with rules and requirements of the MOEF and the West Bengal State Pollution Control Board (WBPCB); • To ensure that the component of facility are operated in accordance with the design; • Process that confirms proper operation through supervision and monitoring; • System that addresses public inconvenience during construction and operation of the facility; and 3 | Page Environmental Expansion of Day Care and Oncology building and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata • Plan that ensure remedial measures are implemented immediately. The key benefits of the EMP are that it provides the organization with means of managing its environmental performance thereby allowing it to contribute to improved environmental quality. The other benefits include cost control as improved relations to the stakeholders. Environmental management plan (EMP) during construction stages with possible mitigatory measures are presented below. EMP during the construction and operation stages is as follows: 10.2 Air Quality Management There are three potential sources of air pollution on construction sites. They are exhaust gases from vehicles and machinery and exhaust material from chippers. Ambient Air Quality indicates of overall state of environment of a particular area. It was ensured that all vehicles and machinery are fitted with appropriate emission control equipment, maintained frequently and serviced to the manufacturers' specifications. Smokes from internal combustion engines were not visible for more than ten seconds. Ambient air quality (AAQ) is an important criterion of a sound environment and its degradation causes various long-term impacts on the human health & wealth. Adjacent areas of the site consist of Residential complexes, shopping malls etc. Therefore, Construction and decommissioning activities might generate emission of fugitive dust caused by a combination of on-site movement of construction materials. As there will be no excavation activities thus the fugitive dust emission will not cause problems within the existing hospital area and the surrounding. A secondary source of emissions might have included exhaust from diesel engines of construction equipments. Adequate mitigation measures were adopted to reduce and control air emissions from construction and decommissioning site. 4 | Page Environmental Expansion of Day Care and Oncology building and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata 10.2.1Air Pollution Monitoring and Management Regular Monitoring of air pollution within the complex may be undertaken as per the advice of WBPCB and the report has to be submitting to the regulatory authority. Detailed management plan given in below section. 10.2.2Ambient Air Quality of the site Ambient Air Quality of the study area during 10.06.2014 to 03.07.2014. The monitoring locations are: 1.

(cid:1) The sources of dust generation are to be identified as mentioned earlier in the assessment of impact. (cid:1) Water sprinkler or simple spray of water can prevent the generation and propagation of dust in and around the construction site. (cid:1) Polythene sheets or similar covers can be used to cover the areas expected to generate more dust. (cid:1) The loading and unloading of construction material should be in a confined space with covering as far as practicable. (cid:1) The raw material storage area can be covered with proper covering material to avoid generation of windblown dust due to storage. (cid:1) The vehicles used for carrying the construction material must be covered and the movement of other vehicles should be restricted in numbers. 6 | Page Environmental Expansion of Day Care and Oncology building and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata (cid:1) All the vehicles should maintain a controlled speed inside the construction site so that no dust spread out. (cid:1) The vehicles moving inside the construction site must have the proper auto emission test certificate/PUC. (cid:1) The debris generated should not be dumped inside the premises and must be disposed off with the help of Kolkata Municipal Corporation. (cid:1) It is advisable to go for ready mixed concrete rather than concreting at site. (cid:1) The gas cutting and welding as generates gaseous pollutants; the use of the same is to be reduced as far as practicable. (cid:1) The emergency running of generator will generate pollutants and therefore the proper combustion of fuel must be checked. (cid:1) The generator set should be placed at a suitable place and the exhaust gases should be let out through a stack in such a way that it dispersed in the atmosphere properly. (cid:1) The above precautionary measures during construction will reduce the adverse impact of the air quality of the local environment to a large extent. (cid:1) The operation of the project is expected not to generate any air pollution if proper housekeeping maintained. Therefore the environmental management plans for the air environment during the occupancy of the building is not required. More over the green belt developed around the site will definitely reduce the existing air pollutants. 10.3 Noise Quality Management Mitigation of noise is most effective, and potentially least expensive, when it is done at the source, before the noise escaped. During construction activities, noise and vibration may be 7 | Page Environmental Expansion of Day Care and Oncology building and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata caused by the operation of pile drivers, concrete mixers, cranes, vehicular movement and the transportation of equipment, materials and people within the project site. In the operational phase, the only probable major source of noise pollution is D.G Set. Apart from this noise can be generated from the vehicular movement in and around the project site and from the generators during operation. Appropriate mitigate measures will be adopted for noise minimization. The D.G Set will be provided with acoustics to reduce the noise generated. 10.3.1Noise Quality Monitoring and Abatement Regular monitoring for the following environmental aspects as per the requirements of West Bengal State Pollution Control Board (WBPCB) will be carries out to ensure conformity to the specified standards. Detailed management plan given in below section. 10.3.2Noise Level of the Project site Table 8: Air Quality Baseline Data Date of monitoring- 27.06.2014 Sl.NO. SECTOR LOCATIONS EQUIVALENT NOISE LEVEL Leq in dB(A) Day Night 1 Industrial Kadapara 78.8 54.3 2 Residential Kankurgachi 76.7 42.4 Foolbagan 79.4 40.6 3 Silence Appolo Hospital 76.4 43.2 4 Commercial Mani Square 81.2 48.8 10.3.3Mitigation measures of noise pollution There is a chance of adverse impact on the noise environment in the local area due to different construction activities as mentioned earlier, can be minimised by taking the following mitigatory measures. 8 | Page Environmental Expansion of Day Care and Oncology building and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata (cid:1) The demolition of the existig structure will not be done as the expansion of complex will be over the existing buildings only. The manual process must be adopted for demolition if any rather than any mechanical means, which will reduce the noise to a large extent. (cid:1) For piling the direct mud circulation (DMC) should be used instead of pile driver to reduce the noise. (cid:1) The vibrator and other noise producing equipment should be operated during the daytime only. (cid:1) The equipment if generates excessive noise due to any mechanical fault must be replaced. (cid:1) The generator set should have an acoustic enclosure and good quality silencer, or a noise-less generator is to be installed. (cid:1) The above precautionary measures during construction will reduce the adverse impact of the water quality of the local environment to a large extent. As the project is a Hospital building it is not expected to generate any type of noise during operation phase. The following measures have been taken for mitigation of noise generated from DG sets. Description about room acoustic: 1. Fabrication of sound proof room acoustic: Fabrication of soundproof enclosure with glass wool of 2 inch thickness covered with perforated G.I. sheet. Fabrication of door with outer sheet insulated with glass wool of 4 inch thickness covered with perforated G.I. sheet and lock systems. Acoustical Treatment of Wall & Ceiling Surface: Providing and fixing G. I sheet on M. S framework, GI frame fixed to wall and ceiling with thick M S angle support. 9 | Page Environmental Expansion of Day Care and Oncology building and Alterations of Service Management Block and new Meditation Centre within the Apollo Gleneagles Hospital, Plan (EMP) Kolkata 2. Sound Reducing Door: Sides of enclosure are provided with suitable size of airtight doors, which give enough access for operator to carry out day to day maintenance. The doors are provided with locking system. Providing and fixing 100mm thick sound reducing door comprising GI perforated sheets on MS framework. Doors to be hung with heavy special pressure closing hardware with handle. Exposed surfaces of door shall be painted a coat of primer. 3. Ventilation Air Inlet & Discharge: Ventilation implies fresh Air supply for cooling and freshening. It also removes contaminants and heat. Proper care is taken for air requirement of DG sets so that the requisite air circulation for engine aspiration, heat rejection & additional dissipation of heat generated in enclosure by the engine is reduced by axial Flow Fan to the acceptable limits. Providing and fixing air inlet and discharge silencers intermix complete with louvers and GI weld mesh bird screen removal type for cleaning. For co- Axial Fans, a sound insulated silencer will be provided to control vibration/ noise of Co-Axial Fan. 4. Silencer and Exhaust System: To reduce exhaust noise without creation back pressure an absorption type residential silencer have been provided if existing silencer not control the reactive noise standards. The silencer works on the principle of sound attenuation. The exhaust pipe & silencer are insulated to muffle sound & to prevent it from radiation heat. 10.4 Water Quality Management Water is the most important component for any society and is an important sustainable development indicator. In Kolkata, there is a growing demand on the existing water resources which mainly includes the Ground water sources, precipitation and Municipal supply. The increase in usage and water demand is due to rapid increase in population, urbanization and industrialization. There is also huge quantity of Water required in the process of building construction and during the Operation phase of the hospital. In Construction Phase water was used in mixing of construction materials, dust suppression and use of labours. 10 | Page
