Base line Environmental Data
The base line data for ambient air quality, surface and ground water quality,
noise and soil quality was collected and analyzed for various parameters.
The analysis results show that the values are within the prescribed limits for
air and water quality
Identification and quantification of Impacts
The sources of pollution in the proposed project are air emissions from
utilities and processes, liquid effluents from process, utilities and domestic
sources, solid wastes from process and utilities. Also the impacts due on
noise environment due to plants and operations and increased road usage.
The impact assessment report identified various sources of pollution and
quantified the pollution loads and has identified the technologies to be
adopted for the mitigation and control of the same
Impacts on Air quality
The impacts on air quality due to the proposed project is primarily from 10x
6 TPH Coal fired boilers and 10x 1000 KVA DG sets. DG sets are primarily
kept for back up power only. The impacts are quantified using ISC‐AERMOD
model based on ISCST3 algorithm. The results indicates marginal increase
in ambient air quality parameters and predicted concentration are within in
the prescribed limits of CPCB
Impacts on Water
The required water shall be drawn from ground water. The effluents
generated from the process and washings contain high COD and TDS values.
Keeping this in view, all high COD and high TDS streams will be segregated
and evaporated. Other low TDS streams are proposed to be treated along
with domestic effluents and disposed to sea through a pipe line. Detailed
studies are carried out by National Institute of Oceanography,
Visakhapatnam and designed out fall with out impacting marine biology
Impacts on noise quality
The noise quality levels may increase due to the operation of equipments,
DG sets and traffic. All point sources like DG sets will be provided acoustic
enclosures. Also green belt proposed al round the plant and on the road will
dampen the affect of the noise levels
Impacts on Soil
The solid waste generated from process, utilities and effluents treatment
plants may have significant negative impacts if disposed indiscriminately.

Elaborate EMP is proposed for collection, accounting and disposal of all
hazardous wastes produced to Ramkey facility, Visakhapatnam
Impacts on Ecology:
There are no endangered flora and fauna in the impact area hence there is
no significant impact on Ecology of the area due to the project
Impacts on Socio Economy:
The proposed complex is likely to generate direct employment potential for
about 3000 people over 6 years period and another 5000 people in direct
employment. This is positive impact on the economic development of the
area. As part of corporate social responsibility the VOL proposed a
knowledge center to train un‐employed youth in the area and recruit them
in different operations
Environmental Management Plan
The environmental management plan is drawn in construction with the
project proponents, technical consultants after evaluating a number of
technologies available for mitigation and control of pollution. The
environmental management plan is drawn to address the impacts monitored,
identified and predicted. The environment management plan addresses the
impacts identified during construction which are temporary and the impacts
identified during operation stages
Construction Stage
The construction stage impacts include the increased traffic on the roads,
increased noise level due to construction activity, dust due to construction
activity and handling of soil removed from foundations. Water sprinkling will
be used to suppress dust during construction stage. Soils removed from
foundation will be used for internal road construction purposes. The
facilities like toilets, drinking water and proper shelters for resting for
construction work force are proposed.
Operation Stage

letting into the guard pond. From the guard pond these effluents are
evaporated in Multiple effect evaporators with stripper and Agitated thin
film drier. This ensures dry sludge and reduces environmental risks.
The low TDS effluents are proposed to be treated biologically and dispose
into sea through a marine out fall
Marine outfall
The marine outfall system would consist of a 7.5 KM on land country
pipeline with approximately 1 K.M running into the sea. The marine
dispersion studies and design of marine out fall is entrusted to an
independent Government of India organization, NIO (National Institute of
oceanography, Visakhapatnam). These studies includes marine bio
environment and the impact of the treated effluent discharge into sea.
Air pollution
The sources of air pollution from the complex is 6 TPH boilers(10Nos.), 1000
KVA DG sets(10 Nos) and distillation columns for solvent distillation. The
process emissions from the individual units will be estimated and their
impact will be assessed before implementation of those projects. It is
proposed bag filters for each coal fired boilers and coal crushers. A 35
meter high stack is proposed for each boiler for safe dispersion of emissions.
Adequate stack height of 12 meters above ground level is designed for
dispersion emissions safely.
The forced evaporation system is proposed with stripper to remove any
volatile organic carbons. The distillation columns are designed in closed loop
and adequate precautions are proposed in EMP for safe operation of
distillation columns.
The coal dust from boilers is proposed to be stored in silos and transferred
to brick manufacturing units which will be established locally
Solvent Use and Re‐cycle
Solvents are used for extraction of products and as reaction medium. The
solvents used are distilled and recycled to maximum extent. It is proposed to
establish 14 distillation columns in the complex for distillation of solvents
over 6 years period. The residues from solvent distillation will be send to JN
Pharma city complex in Visakhapatnam
