ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN

Preparation of environmental management plan is required for formulation,


implementation and monitoring of environmental protection measures during and
after commissioning of projects. The plans should indicate the details as to how
various measures have been or are proposed to be taken including cost components
as may be required. Cost of measures for environmental safeguards should be
treated as an integral component of the project cost and environmental aspects
should be taken into account at various stages of the projects:
 Conceptualization: preliminary environmental assessment
 Planning: detailed studies of environmental impacts and design of
safeguards
 Execution: implementation of environmental safety measures
 Operation: monitoring of effectiveness of built-in safeguards

The management plans should be necessarily based on considerations of resource


conservation and pollution abatement, some of which are:
 Liquid Effluents
 Air Pollution
 Solid Wastes
 Noise and Vibration
 Occupational Safety and Health
 Prevention, maintenance and operation of Environment Control Systems
 House-Keeping
 Human Settlements
 Transport Systems
 Vegetal Cover
 Disaster Planning
 Recovery - reuse of waste products
 Environment Management Cell
1. Liquid Effluents
*Effluents from the industrial plants should be treated well to the standards as
prescribed by the Central/State Water Pollution Control Boards.
*Soil permeability studies should be made prior to effluents being discharged into
holding tanks or impoundments and steps taken to prevent percolation and ground
water contamination.
* Special precautions should be taken regarding flight patterns of birds in the area.
Effluents containing toxic compounds, oil and grease have been known to cause
extensive death of migratory birds. Location of plants should be prohibited in such
type of sensitive areas.
* Deep well burial of toxic effluents should not be resorted to as it can result in
resurfacing and ground after contamination. Re-surfacing has been known to cause
extensive damage to crop and livestocks.
• In all cases, efforts should be made for re-use of water and its conservation.
2. Air Pollution
*The emission levels of pollutants from the different stacks, should conform to the
pollution control standards prescribed by Central or State Boards. In-plant control
measures should be taken to contain the fugitive emissions.
*Adequate control equipment should be installed for minimising the emission of
pollutants from the various stacks.
*Infrastructural facilities should be provided for monitoring the stack emissions
and measuring the ambient air quality including micro-meteorological
data(wherever required) in the area.
*Community buildings and townships should be built up-wind of plant with one-
half to one kilometer greenbelt in addition to physiographical barrier.
3. Solid Wastes

 The site for waste disposal should be checked to verify permeability so that
no contaminants percolate into the ground water or river/lake.
 Waste disposal areas should be planned down-wind of villages and
townships.
 Reactive materials should be disposed of by immobilising the reactive
materials with suitable additives.
 The pattern of filling disposal site should be planned to create better
landscape and be approved by appropriate agency and the appropriately
pretreated solid wastes should be disposed according to the approved plan.
 Intensive programs of tree plantation on disposal areas should be
undertaken.
4. Noise and Vibration

 Adequate measures should be taken for control of noise and vibrations in the
industry.
5. Occupational Safety and Health

 Proper precautionary measures for adopting occupational safety and health


standards should be taken.

6. Prevention, maintenance and operation of Environment Control Systems


 Adequate safety precautions should be taken during preventive maintenance
and shut down of the control systems.
 A system of inter-locking with the production equipment should be
implemented where highly toxic compounds are involved.

7. House - Keeping
 Proper house-keeping and clean both inside and outside of the industry.

8. Human Settlements

 Residential colonies should be located away from the solid and liquid waste
 Industries in the area, should be properly rehabilitated.
9. Transport Systems

 Proper parking places should be provided for the trucks and other vehicles
by the industries to avoid any congestion or blocking of roads.
 Siting of industries on the highways should be avoided as it may add to more
road accidents because of substantial increase in the movements of heavy
vehicles and Unauthorised shops and settlements coming up around the
industrial complex.
 Spillage of chemicals/substances on roads inside the plant may lead to
accidents.Proper road safety signs both inside and outside the plant should
be displayed for avoiding road accidents.

10. Recovery – reuse of waste products


Efforts should be made to recycle or recover the waste materials to the extent
possible. The treated liquid effluents can be conveniently and safely used for
irrigation of lands, plants and fields for growing non-edible crops.

11. Vegetal Cover


Industries should plant trees and ensure vegetal cover in their premises. This is
particularly advisable for those industries having more than 10 acres of land.
12. Disaster Planning
Proper disaster planning should be done to meet any emergency situation arising
due to fire,explosion,sudden leakage of gas etc. Firefighting equipment and other
safety appliances should be kept ready for use during disaster/emergency situation
including natural calamities like earthquake/flood.
13. Environment Management Cell

Each industry should identify within its setup a Department/Section/Cell with


trained personnel to take up the model responsibility of environmental
management as required for planning and implementation of the projects.
