2. Baseline Environmental Status

Baseline studies are required to provide a detailed description of the existing ecosystem,
landscape, infrastructure, cultural heritage and urban environment. A baseline study
describes the initial state of the environment within the selected boundaries of the study
area. The primary baseline data is generally generated, and secondary data is collected from
various Government and Semi-Government organizations. The details about the existing
environmental values are projected based on the volume of the assessment accomplished
during the period.
Baseline environmental monitoring was conducted by the Telangana State Industrial
Infrastructure Corporation (TSIIC), Govt. of Telangana during December 2016 to March 2017.
It is been conducted to assess the ambient air quality status in the study area for preparation
of Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) of the “Hyderabad Pharma City”. The average air
pollutant (PM10, PM2.5, SO2, NOx, and CO) concentration were observed to be within the
limits of National Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) due to predominantly rural land use
class surrounding the project site. The observed average concentration of air pollutants in the
project site and the nearby villages have been described in Table-6.

3. Environment Impact Assessment

3.1 Introduction
This chapter presents the assessment of various impacts due to the proposed project in the
study area. Generally, the environmental impacts can be categorized as either primary or
secondary. Primary impacts are those, which are attributed directly by the project and
secondary impacts are those, which are indirectly induced and typically include the changed
patterns of social and economic activities by the proposed project. The Proposed construction
project would create impact on the environment in two distinct phases:

• Impacts during the construction phase

• Impacts during the operation phase
The construction and operational phase of the proposed construction project comprise of
various activities, each of which will have impact on some or other environmental
parameters. Various impacts during the construction or operational phase and the
environmental parameters have been studied to estimate the impacts on environment. The
identification and details on impact of the project activity on each of the above environmental
attributes are discussed below.

3.2 Identification of Impacts

Owing to the increase in demand for networking and storage of large amount of data, the
development of the Data Center is proposed for catering the same. However, like any other
projects, it also has impacts on existing Environmental settings, and if not properly evaluated
and controlled, it may lead to imbalances. These impacts could be reversible, irreversible,
temporary or permanent.
The identification of impacts is important as it leads to the other elements such as
quantification and evaluation of impacts. Although a number of non-projects related impacts
have been identified while describing the existing (baseline) environmental status, it is
necessary at this stage to identify the types of the potential impacts which might be caused
by the proposed development. Many techniques are available for identification of impacts. In
case of this project, the "Matrix Method" was adopted, which involves an understanding of
the cause-condition-effect relationship between an activity and environmental parameters.
It is very useful as gross screening tool for impact identification method. This method has
been basically advantageous in recognizing the series of impacts that could follow from the
proposed activities.

** The impacts due to DG sets are not predicted in terms of duration because DG sets
will only be utilized during power failure which rarely occurs due to the extensive
resilience and redundancy of the AWS systems.

3.3 Impact on Air Environment

3.3.1 During Construction Phase

Impacts of construction activities on air quality are cause for concern mainly in the dry months
due to dust particles. The main sources of emission during the construction period are the
movement of equipments at site and dust emission during the leveling, grading, earthworks,
and other construction related activities. The dust emission during the above mentioned
activities are depend upon the type of soil being excavated. However, the impact will be for
short duration and confined locally to the construction site. The composition of dust in this
kind of operation is mostly inorganic and nontoxic in nature.
The impact of such activities would be temporary and restricted to the construction phase.
The impact will be confined within the project boundaries and is expected to be negligible
outside. Proper upkeep and maintenance of vehicles, sprinkling of water on roads and project
site are some of the measures that would greatly reduce the impacts during the construction
phase. Thus, it is inferred that no significant impacts are expected on the overall ambient air
quality due to the proposed construction activities.
3.3.2 Transportation and Storage of Construction Materials

Transportation of heavy machinery and building materials implies heavy traffic on the roads
leading to the site with possible negative impacts to the surrounding area (dust, spillage,
emissions and noise). Transportation of construction materials as well as improper storage of
building materials, especially gravel, sand and cement in the construction site will lead to
inadvertent dispersal of materials during heavy rain or high wind during dry periods.
Measures will be adopted for proper handling of construction materials to reduce the
negative impact.

3.3.3 Operation Phase

Ambient air quality at the proposed project site and its surroundings is monitored and values
of the pollutants RPM, PM2.5, NOx and SO2 are within the limits of NAAQs prescribed by the
Central Pollution Control Board.
There is no major pollutant envisaged from the proposed development. It is likely that the air
quality may be affected slightly due to the emissions from the vehicular movement. The
emission from DG sets will be very negligible since it will be used only during a total power
failure in the necessary area. A total power failure rarely occurs due to the extensive resilience
and redundancy of the AWS systems.
The stacks of DG sets will be properly designed to meet the stipulations of CPCB. These
emissions will be insignificant and the environmental pollutant levels will be maintained
within the prescribed limits. Hence there shall not be any adverse impact on the air
environment around the proposed Data Center.

3.4 Impact on Ambient Noise

3.4.1 During Construction Phase

During the construction noise levels will increase due to use of machinery and heavy vehicles
in the project area. In terms of noise emission; demolition, excavation and construction work
can be divided into two phases, namely (1) Demolition and Earthworks and (2) Building works.
Loading and unloading of construction materials, fabrication, handling of equipments and
material, operation of power shovels etc. will be the major source of noise during the
construction phase. Various construction activities will cause short-term noise impact in the
immediate vicinity of the project site. No demolition work is involved in proposed project.
The areas affected are those close to the site and hence the impacts are localized. At the peak
of the construction, marginal increase in noise levels are expected to occur. The peak noise
levels from continuous construction activity may be as high as 80 - 90 dB (A). The noise control
measures during construction phase shall restrict the noise levels to lower levels. Hence the
overall impact on the ambient noise levels will not be significant.
3.4.2 Operational Phase

There will not be any major impact from noise. This is because no equipment or other
infrastructure facility in the project generates noise more than 50-60 dB (A). However, the
only noise generation sources are the DG sets and HVAC systems. The promoters have
decided to adopt adequate steps to maintain the noise levels of DG sets within the prescribed
limits. For the same all the DG facility will be equipped with acoustic enclosure. Apart from
this honking will be prohibited at the site and speed limits will be restricted within the site.
This will significantly help in controlling noise levels at the site. Further the green belt
provided at the site will act as noise barrier between inside and outside environment. This
will act as buffer and protects the outside environment from high noise levels.

Telangana

3.5 Impact on Land Environment

The rehabilitation and resettlement issues are not involved in the project. Furthermore, the
existing environmental conditions of the project site reveal that the land is not contaminated
or polluted.
Topsoil will be excavated and will be stored in covered area during construction phase. It will
be used for landscaping in operation phase within project site. The upper/top level of soil will
be affected during construction phase, but this will be limited to a portion of the project area.
Also, no ground water will be abstracted for the proposed project, due to sourcing of water
from other sources (TSIIC supply) during the operation phases.

3.6 Impacts on Water Resources

3.6.1 Construction Phase

The required water quantity for construction will be sourced by tankers from authorized
source. Impact on water quality during construction phase may be due to non-point
discharges of sewage generated from the construction work force. Construction activities for
the proposed development can have minor impact on hydrology and ground water quality of
the area if the construction waste leaches into ground.
Potential sources of impacts on the hydrology and ground water quality during the
construction phase would be soil runoff, improper disposal of construction debris, spillage of
oil and grease from the vehicles and wastewater stream generated from onsite activities such
as vehicles washing, workshop etc. Precautions and preventive measure will be taken at the
site during construction to avoid any ground and surface water contamination hence the
overall impact on water environment during construction phase due to proposed project is
likely to be insignificant.
3.6.2 Operation Phase

The total quantity of wastewater generation is likely to be 7.1 KLD and no impact from
wastewater is envisaged. This is because the sewage generated will be treated and recycled
within the facility by proposed STP. The treated sewage will be utilized for flushing and
gardening within the facility. Therefore, surface and subsurface contamination due to treated
wastewater will not be envisaged.

3.7 Impacts Due to Waste Disposal

3.7.1 Stacking and Disposal of Construction Material

Stacking of construction materials will be confined to the project site only and also temporary
sheds will be provided to store the materials, hence no impacts on surrounding area will be
envisaged. Solid wastes generated due to proposed project during construction phase
includes sand, gravel, stone, bricks, plastic, paper, wood, metal and glass. Recyclables will be

arcadis.com
Environment Management Plan (EMP)

M/s Amazon Data Services India Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad Pharma City (HPC) Industrial Area by TSIIC,
Telangana

sent to authorized recyclers. Hence there is no significant impact due to waste disposal during
the construction phase.
3.7.2 Operation Phase

The solid waste generated from the project will be collected daily and moved to a common
temporary storage facility by the staff dedicated for waste collection. Bio-degradable waste
will be converted to manure in an organic waste converter and will be used for gardening
purpose within the facility. While non-degradable waste will be handed over to TSPCB
authorised recyclers.

3.8 Impacts on Ecological Resources

3.8.1 Construction Phase

The impact of construction activities will be primarily confined to the project site. The project
site is a vacant land and devoid of any vegetation. Thus, the site development work will not
lead to significant loss of any important plant species. Deposition of fugitive dust on leaves of
nearby vegetation may lead to temporary reduction of photosynthesis. Such impacts will be
confined mostly to the initial period of the construction phase. Hence the proposed
development will not lead to habitat destruction, fragmentation or vegetation damage.
3.8.2 Operation Phase

No wastewater will be discharged into the surface water stream. Hence, there will not be any
impact on the aquatic ecology. Also, the proposed project is to be located in an earmarked
industrial zone, which does not have any natural park or sanctuary or forest area in the
immediate vicinity. The flora and fauna pattern in the area will not be disturbed due to the
project. Hence the overall impact on ecological resources due to proposed project is likely to
be insignificant. Moreover, the entire project area would be landscaped with variety of plants.

3.9 Impacts on Traffic Levels

3.9.1 Construction Phase

The movement of construction equipments will be mostly within the site. Vehicles bringing in
raw materials like sand, cement and aggregate will be strictly controlled and monitored as per
the traffic rules, to avoid any sort of disturbance to the traffic and safety of the surrounding
areas. Hence the impact due to the vehicular movement during the construction phase would
be minor or insignificant.
3.9.2 Operation Phase

The existing infrastructure is capable of taking up additional traffic loads. Also, the project is
to be executed phase wise; the increase in traffic will be easily handled by the existing as well

arcadis.com
Environment Management Plan (EMP)

M/s Amazon Data Services India Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad Pharma City (HPC) Industrial Area by TSIIC,
Telangana

as the future improvements in the transportation infrastructure. Hence there will not be any
impact on the traffic pattern and density.

3.10 Impact on Socio Economic Environment

The required land for the development has been provided by TSIIC to Amazon. The proposed
project will generate direct and indirect income sources for the locals. Also, the state of the
art facilities proposed in the development is planned to cater the needs of the occupants
which would be able to provide healthy working atmosphere. Hence it is obvious to assume
that the activities of the proposed development will produce some positive impacts in the
socio-economic status of the area.
3.10.1 Public Health and Safety

As the project is only a construction of Data Center building and all the construction activities
are confined to the project site, no health related impact would be envisaged within the
project area. The people engaged in the construction activities will be directly exposed to dust
generation, which is likely to cause health related impact. Appropriate mitigation measures
like spraying of water will be adopted to minimize dust emission in the construction site.
Laborers will be provided with suitable Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) as required
under the health and safety norms. Regular health checkups will be organized.
3.10.2 Positive Impact

The project will facilitate increased participation of the local work force for construction
process; this will benefit the local economy, improvement in economic activity and
enhancement in earning opportunities for the local population. The operation of the project
and other allied facilities will improve the employment opportunities. The project will provide
direct and indirect employment. Many persons will be employed during the operation stage
for the purpose of day-to-day maintenance works. The employment will have positive impact
on the local and regional economy thereby increasing the quality of life. The proposed
rainwater recharge facility will augment the ground water level in the project area. The
proposed project will also improve the aesthetics of the area due to the development of
modern buildings.

4. Environment Management Plan

4.1 General
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is aimed at mitigating the possible adverse impacts
of the project and for ensuring to maintain the environmental quality. The environmental
management plan consists of the set of mitigation, management, monitoring and institutional
measures to be taken to eliminate the adverse environmental impacts or reduce them to
acceptable levels.

Environment Management Plan (EMP)

M/s Amazon Data Services India Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad Pharma City (HPC) Industrial Area by TSIIC,
Telangana

4.2 Air Pollution Control and Management

4.2.1 Construction Phase

The impacts will be due to the air emissions like Particulate matter (PM 10 & PM2.5), CO2, NOx
and SO2 due to material handling, vehicular movements and other site activities. The
particulate matter will be reduced by frequent sprinkling of water on the road surfaces and
on other areas where dust is arising due to material handling. All the equipments and vehicles
used in the construction and transportation of materials will be maintained properly and only
low Sulphur diesel will be used as fuel for DG sets and construction equipment and vehicles.
The emissions from the DG sets will be let out only through the stacks with adequate heights
as per CPCB norms. This will avoid the deposition of the particulate matters and other
pollutants by facilitating the through dispersion of pollutants into the atmosphere. The
stacking of all the construction materials will be confined only within the proposed site.
Vehicles carrying the raw material and debris will be covered to minimize dust emissions while
travelling. Adequate parking space will be provided for construction vehicle and machinery to
prevent idling and thus will help in minimizing the emissions. Wheel wash facility will be
provided at the exit point of the site.
4.2.2 Operation Phase

Air emissions are observed during the operation phase of the project. The air emissions will
be reduced by ensuring smoother flow of traffic within the premises by better traffic
management plans. It is proposed to have trees all through the boundaries of the site and
along the either side of the internal roads. This will reduce the particulate matters from being
transported to the nearby areas. The air emissions from the Diesel Generators (For Power
Back-up) will be controlled by using low Sulphur content high speed diesels, periodic
maintenance of DG sets as per the defined schedule of manufacturer, and by providing
adequate stack heights as prescribed by CPCB. The stack height for the DG sets are calculated
based on the CPCB guidelines.
Stack Height Calculations for 3000 KVA Generator Sets
As per the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Govt. of India, stack height for the DG sets
shall be determined considering the following formula.
DG set stack height shall be maximum of the following, in meter:

• 14 Q0.3, Q= Total SO2 emission from the plant in kg/hr.

• Minimum 6 m. above the building where generator set is installed.
• 30 m
Considering the above-mentioned formula 30 m DG stack heights has been proposed.

4.3 Noise Control and Management

4.3.1 Construction Phase

The noise generated from the construction equipments will be reduced through proper
maintenance of all the equipments which are involved in construction activities, confining the
construction activities only during the day time, and providing barricades all around the
project area. The adverse impacts of noise especially on workers will be reduced by providing
earmuffs to the workers in high noise zones. Noise control systems such as equipment
foundation pads, dampeners, silencers and acoustic enclosures will be used for individual
units as per the requirement to minimize the noise & vibration.
4.3.2 Operation Phase

The increase in the ambient noise levels due to the vehicle transportation will be controlled
by the development of the green cover all along the internal roads and by implementing
better traffic management plans inside the site premises. The better traffic management
plans will significantly reduce the noise generated due to the congestion caused by the
movement of vehicles.
The DG Sets noise is controlled by providing acoustic enclosures. Proper air ventilation system
is designed to allow the maximum aspiration and cooling airflow required so that the engines
do not overheat. Axial flow fan of required size and numbers provided for proper air
ventilation. Acoustic louvers, splitter and insulated ducts are provided to suppress the noise
where required.

4.4 Solid and Hazardous Waste Management

4.4.1 Construction Phase

Separate raw material handling yard will be demarcated. This will prevent the contamination
of the soil due to the spillage of the construction materials. Cement will be separately stored
under cover in bales. The raw material handling yard will be located within the project site
and separated by enclosures/barricades. This will keep the working area clean and reduce the
soil contamination.
4.4.2 Operation Phase

The solid waste will comprise of biodegradable waste (e.g. domestic waste, food waste,
horticultural waste etc.) and Non-biodegradable waste (e.g. plastics, paper etc.). The quantity
of waste generation is mentioned below.

• Biodegradable Waste: 10 Kg/day

• Non-biodegradable Waste: 12 Kg/day
• STP Sludge: 18 Kg/day

The biodegradable waste will be converted to manure by using an organic waste convertor
machine. This manure will be utilized for landscaping within the facility.
The non-biodegradable wastes will be segregated and will be disposed or sold to authorized
vendor/ recycler.
Proposed project will generate around 1 Tons/ year of E-Waste which will be segregated and
will be disposed or sold to authorized vendor/ recycler.

4.5 Water and Waste Water Management

4.5.1 Construction Phase

During construction phase, total fresh water requirement will be 3 KLD, which will be sourced
by tankers from authorized vendors. For waste water, mobile toilets will be provided, and the
sewage generated will be treated in a packaged type Sewage Treatment Plant (STP). The
treated waste water will be utilized for flushing and some of the construction activities. All
the water storage tanks/containers will be maintained without any leaks. Necessary
precaution and preventive measures will be taken at the site during construction to avoid any
groundwater and surface water contamination.

4.10 Disaster Management Plan (DMP)

Disaster is a threat to Environment and Society. Disaster Management Plan (DMP) deals with
the preparations to reduce the impacts of Natural and Man-made disasters. Recent rise in the
incidence of disasters has alerted us regarding the need of pre-planned DMP which will aim
at providing effective and timely relief during disaster through organized manner.
Emergency prevention through good design, operation, maintenance and inspection are
essential to reduce the probability of occurrence and also making the occupiers aware of what
to do in case of any emergency. The overall objective of a disaster management plan is to
make use of the combined resources created or available at the site and/or off-site services.
Disaster management plan is prepared by considering all the factors responsible for
management of disaster. This DMP is categorized as on site DMP and Off DMP. The DMP will
be prepared to achieve the following:
• Prevent Disasters;
• Minimize the effects of the accident on people and property;
• Initiate the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
• Safeguard other people
• Evacuate people to safe areas with care
• Inform and collaborate with statutory local and state authorities;
• Provide credible information to news media;
• Bring the incident under control;
• Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause
and circumstances of the emergency;
• Investigate and take steps to prevent recurrence of similar incidents.
On site DMP
Emergency may arise due to the following reasons:
• Accident
• Sickness
• Fire at work site / Explosion
• Natural Calamities (Storm, Flood & Earthquake)
For the effective and quick response, the procedure shall be communicated through safety
training. An emergency vehicle is needed to be available at site for all the time and till the
entire work is suspended.

Emergency Response Team

Site Incident Controller or Site Main Controller will arrange mock drills for Environment and
Safety practices before handing over the project. Proponent will request the occupants to
volunteer to form an Emergency Response Team of three society members which will be
trained to monitor the DMP.

Offsite DMP
Offsite DMP is governed by PMRDA’s Disaster Management Cell. This cell has laid down
various ‘Standard Operating Procedures’ (SOP) for effective coordination with the NGOs and
private sector. Each occupant will be familiarised with the Disaster Management Cells
hierarchy, role and responsibilities this will contain the following.

i. Organization: There shall be warning systems, implementation procedures, and

emergency control centres. In addition, it also needs telephone numbers of related
emergency key personnel. (E.g. fire station, police station, hospitals, etc.)

ii. Communications: The communication part warrants the complete identification of

personnel involved, call signs, and lists of telephone numbers of all concerned. The
clarity of communication is key to effective off-site emergency plan, which will assist
the DMC and the occupant in the case of emergencies.

iii. Voluntary organizations and NGOs: A complete list of details of organizers, telephone
numbers, resource availability that is in the vicinity will need to be maintained. They
would be asked to share their views on improving the environmental awareness and
structure of the society.

iv. Humanitarian arrangements: Emergency feeding treatment of injured, first aid, related
information shall be arranged.

v. Role of the Implementing Authority (Local Authority): The local authority will carry out
his duty in preparing for a whole range of different emergencies within their jurisdiction
area. (Ward-wise areas of PMC). The Emergency Response Team of DMC will coordinate
to obtain the information to provide the basis for the plan. This team should ensure that
the plan is continually updated and communicated to all stake holders. It will be the
responsibility of the local authority to ensure that all those organizations, which will be
involved off site in handling the emergency, know of their roles and responsibility.
Sufficient staff and appropriate equipment arrangement shall be responsibility of
respective person. Rehearsals for off-site plans should be organized by the local
authority.

vi. Role of Police Department: Formal duties of the police during an emergency include
protecting life and property and controlling traffic movements. Their functions should
include controlling bystanders, evacuating the public, identifying any serious problems,
and informing all concerned.

vii. Role of Fire Authorities: The control of a fire should normally be the responsibility of
the senior fire brigade officer who would take over the handling of the fire from the site

arcadis.com
 Environment Management Plan (EMP)

M/s Amazon Data Services India Pvt. Ltd., Hyderabad Pharma City (HPC) Industrial Area by TSIIC,
Telangana

controller on arrival at the site. The senior fire brigade officer should also have a similar
responsibility for other events, such as explosions and toxic release. Fire authorities in
the region should be apprised about the location of all stores of flammable materials,
water and foam supply points, and fire-fighting equipment. They should be involved in
on-site emergency rehearsals both as participants and, on occasion, as observers of
exercises involving on-site personnel.

viii. Role of Health Authorities: Health authorities, including doctors, surgeons, hospitals,
ambulances, and similar other persons/institutions should have a vital part to play
following a major accident, and they should form an integral part of the emergency
plan. Major off-site incidents are likely to require medical equipment and facilities in
addition to those available locally, and a medical "mutual aid" scheme should exist to
enable the assistance of neighbouring authorities to be obtained in the event of an
emergency.

ix. Occupational Health and Safety: The facility will have many activities involved during
construction, erection, testing, commissioning, operation and maintenance, where
manpower materials and machines are the basic inputs. Occupational health and safety
of all the people concerned will be a major part of the facility. The proposed facility to
mitigate and minimize the adverse impacts of process, if any, has to ensure provision of
appropriate and adequate occupational health and safety measures, including fire
plans.

Conclusion
M/s Amazon Data Services India Pvt. Ltd. will periodically review and update the Disaster
Management Plan and will take the initiative to spread awareness of safety and environment
practices and institutionalize the relationship between all Emergency Security and Rescue
Forces (eg. Police, Municipality, Fire Brigade, Medi-Care Centres etc.)
