1.0 INTRODUCTION
Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL) is an Indian state – Controlled Oil and gascompany
headquartered in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. was formed in 1964 with the
merger of Indian Refineries Ltd. (Estd. 1958). Indian Oil Corporation Ltd. (Indian Oil) is India's
largest public corporation in terms of revenue and is one of the Maharatna status companies of
India. A Govt. of India Enterprises involved in Refining and Marketing of Petroleum Products. IOCL
has been ranked 168th in fortune global 500 rankings of the world‟s biggest corporations for the
year 2017. IOCL have own refinery with capacity of 80.49 MMTPA for crude oil and petroleum
products and 9.5 MMSCMD for gas. The Corporation's cross-country pipelines network, for
transportation of crude oil to refineries and finished products to high-demand centers, spans over
11,220 km. Oil marketing companies have projected an increase in demand of Petroleum Product in
future due to increase in it's domestic & industrial use.
1.0 IDENTIFICATION OF PROJECT

The Indian oil Corporation has 65% share of the bulk consumer business, and almost 6,400
dedicated pumps are in operation for the convenience of large-volume consumers like the defense
services, railways and state transport undertakings, ensuring products and inventory at their
doorstep. They are backed for supplies by 136 bulk storage terminals and depots, 100 aviation fuel
stations and 91 LPG bottling plants.
Indian Oil‟s Gujrat Refinery expansion from 13.7 to 18.0 MMTPA and fuel quality upgradation from
BS IV to BS VI grades by 01.04.2020 increased evacuation of petroleum products from Gujrat
Refinery to Ratlam Terminal by existing pipeline. Use of high quality petroleum products thus
reduces pollution and improve environment. Also, this will reduce the logistics cost of transportation
of POL products from Vadodara to Ratlam thru Rail mode vis a vis pipeline mode and pollution
thereby.

requirement is meeting through ground water three bore-wells. [Refer acknowledge No.214 (140)
NCR/CGWA/2012-4908-Annexure III].
Wastewater Generation
The quantity of wastewater generation (1.2 m3/day) under normal operation of the plant will not
increase due to no additional manpower will be deployed for regular operations.
There will be no industrial effluent being generated from this project. Sewage generated from
domestic sources will be treated in Septic tanks followed by soak pits. In case any open spillage of
oil from tank shall lead to Oil Water Separator (OWS) where separated oil send back to intermediate
holding tank and shall be utilized suitably after ensuring quality of product. The water from OWS will
be reused for gardening and dust suppression in the gantry areas during truck movement.
3.0 DESCRIPTION OF ENVIRONMENT

This chapter of the report provides details about the environmental baseline conditions within 10 km
study area. An environmental baseline survey was conducted as a part of EIA study for M/s IOCL
Ratlam Terminal during October to December 2017 (Post-monsoon season) and included collection
of primary and secondary data.
3.1 AIR ENVIRONMENT
3.1.1 Meteorology
The weather monitoring station was installed at the project site to record temperature, wind speed, wind
direction, relative humidity, and rain fall. The generated data was then compared with the meteorological
data obtained from IMD. During October to December 2017 values monitored for temperature and
humidity ranged from 14 to 350C and 10 to 74% respectively and total rainfall observed 11.2 mm.
The site specific wind roses were drawn. It was observed from the wind roses that the first predominant
wind direction 22.5% from E and second predominant 20 % from ENE direction with the 0.30% calm
conditions.

3.1.2 Baseline Data

Ambient air monitoring was carried out at eight (08) locations. It has been observed that minimum and
maximum concentration of PM10 is ranged between 50.6-88.6 µg/m3. The concentrations of PM2.5 vary
from 14.2-27 µg/m3. SO2 concentration level ranged from 9.4-18.8 µg/m3 and NO2 concentration ranged
from 12.1-24.5 µg/m3 in the study area. Pb range 0.01 to 0.07 µg/m3, As and Ni in PM10 were found below
detectable limits. Volatile Organic Compounds (VOCs) are organic chemical compounds that have high
enough vapor pressures under normal conditions to significantly vaporize and enter the atmosphere.
Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are emitted from various sources, both anthropogenic and biogenic.
It has been observed that the Exceedence Factor for PM2.5, SO2 and NO2 for all location is less than
0.5 which indicates the overall ambient air quality of study area is low polluted category. However,
PM10 for all locations falling in the third category are meeting the standards as of now but likely to
exceed the standards in future if pollution continues to increase and is not controlled. However, the
locations in Low pollution category have a rather clean air quality and such areas are to be
maintained at low pollution level by way of adopting preventive and control measures of air pollution.
3.2 NOISE ENVIRONMENT
Eight (08) locations were identified based on the activities in the village area, traffic and sensitive
areas like hospitals and schools. The day time noise levels in residential and industrial area were
observed to be well within the prescribed limit of CPCB standards. The night time noise levels were
well within the prescribed limit of CPCB standard, in the study area.
One National Highway NH-31 is passing through these regions and having major traffic density. The
Leq at above traffic junction was observed 72.9 dB (A).
3.3 WATER ENVIRONMENT
10 water samples were collected from various sampling locations, Seven (7) from each
groundwater and Three (3) surface water sources. These samples were collected as grab samples,
preserved, brought to the laboratory and analyzed for various parameters. The samples were
analyzed as per the procedures specified in standard methods for the examination of water and
wastewater published by American Public Health Association (APHA/IS 10500).
Physico-chemical Characteristics
 Surface water quality
The physico-chemical characteristics of the surface water samples collected and analysed are
presented in Annexure IX and are compared with the IS-10500 standards. The analysis results
indicate that the pH ranged between 7.04-7.57 which are well within the specified standard of 6.5 to
8.5. The TDS was observed to be 622-690 mg/l which is within the permissible limit of 2000 mg/l.
The total hardness recorded was in the range of 279.18-330.0 mg/l as CaCO3 which is also within
the permissible limit of 600 mg/l. The nitrate was found to be in the range of 5.44-16.05 mg/l. The
levels of chloride and sulphate were found to be in the range of 25.80-47.85 mg/l and 3.24-13.60 mg/l
respectively.
The overall surface water quality was found to be mineralized, however unsafe for physico-
chemically wrt TDS (622-690 mg/l) and total hardness (279.18-330.0 mg/l) which cross the
acceptable limits (TDS-500 mg/l & total hardness 200 mg/l) but within permissible limit (TDS-2000
mg/l & total hardness 600 mg/l), bacteriologically for drinking and need proper disinfection before
use for alternate source of drinking purpose.

 Groundwater quality
The physico-chemical characteristics of groundwater are presented in Annexure IX and compared
with the IS-10500 standards. The analysis results indicate that the pH ranged between 7.03-7.93.
The TDS was ranging from 348-962 mg/l. Total hardness was found to be in the range of 209.88-
460.56 mg/l. The fluoride concentrations were varied between 0.51-1.85 mg/l which is within the
acceptable limit of 1 mg/l. The nitrate and sulphate were found in the range of 4.36-44.87 mg/l and
5.18-48.59 mg/l respectively.
3.4 LAND ENVIRONMENT
3.4.1 Soil Characteristics

Seven soil samples were collected from different locations of the study area. The monitoring was
carried out once in the study period during Oct-Dec 2017 and analyzed for significant parameters.
The results indicated the following:
Soil characteristics in the study area
The bulk density of the soil in the study area ranged between 1.64-1.79 g/cc which indicates
favourable physical condition for plant growth. pH was found to be neutral to moderately alkaline
(7.64-7.92) in reaction. The soil is non toxic wrt heavy metals.
3.4.2 Land Use of the Study Area

The land-use & land cover map of the 10 km radial study area from the periphery of project site has
been prepared using Resource SAT-1 (IRS-P6), sensor-LISS-3 having 23.5m spatial resolution and
date of pass 26 Feb 2016 satellite image with reference to Google Earth data. In order to
strengthen the baseline information on existing land use pattern, the following data covering approx.

FAUNA IN THE STUDY AREA

A baseline survey had been conducted in order to document the faunal biodiversity of the study
area with respect to mammal, birds, reptiles, amphibians and butterfly species. Fauna is a gift of
nature, and the different beasts and birds, forming part of wild life, need to be preserved. The wild
animal and birds help in protecting crops, by praying upon worms and insects, which might damage
them. The details of Fauna observed/reported provided in Annexure VII (c). Total 64 faunal
species were recorded from the study area. The class wise species status as Aves (25), Mammals
(12), Herpatofauna (10), Fishes (9) and butterflies (08) were documented.
3.6 SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT
Socioeconomic survey was carried out to know the infrastructural activities amenities available
within 10 km radius of expansion project. The information regarding facilities available and the
opinion of the people was sought by floating questionnaires and interaction with the people. This is
done for observing the impact due to the project wrt social aspects so that proper actions /
measures could be taken up for the benefit of the people (economically and wrt quality of life) and
the project.
4 ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS AND MITIGATION MEASURES
4.1 Impact on Topography
Construction Phase
The installation activities include excavation of soil. The excavated loose soil will be utilized for
levelling of low lying areas inside the plant. Thus, the impact on topography during construction
phase is insignificant
Operation Phase
As the storage tanks operating will be confined in closed, leak proof system, no impact is envisaged
on the topography during operation phase.
4.2 Impact on Air Environment
During Construction Phase
Impact of construction activities on air quality is a cause for concern mainly in the dry months due to
settling of dust particles. The main sources of emission during the construction period are the movement
of equipment at site and dust emitted during the levelling, grading, earthworks, foundation works and
other construction related activities. The impact is likely to be for short duration and confined locally to the
construction site itself. The impact will be marginal, and temporary in nature.
During Operation Phase
 Stack details
The stack details viz, height, diameter, temperature, velocity, volumetric flow and emission rates are
presented in Table 4.1. Total three numbers of existing stacks were considered which is attached to
the equipment through which the emissions are come out.

 Resultant Concentrations
The predicted 24 hourly maximum concentrations for existing facilities for particulate matter, SO2
and NO2 were found to be 0.016µg/m3, 0.42 µg/m3 is 8.5 µg/m3 and occurring at a distance 1.0 km
at project site in W & WSW directions respectively as shown in Table 4.3. The isopleths of
particulate matter, SO2 and NO2 representing the GLCs for existing scenario are shown in Figures
4.2 to 4.4 respectively.
The ambient air for particulate matter, SO2 and NO2 likely to be encountered in the operation of the
project are respectively occurring with a concentration level of 88.6 µg/m 3, 18.8 µg/m3 and 24.5
µg/m3 respectively (Table 4.4), which are included concentration of existing DG sets emission which
are well within the NAAQS levels prescribed by CPCB. Hence it is inferred that considering resultant
concentration levels, the pollution load exerted due to existing project is insignificant.
4.3 Impact on Noise Levels
Construction Phase
The noise generation during construction phase may have insignificant impact on the existing
ambient noise levels. The major works associated with installation/ construction activities would be
carried out during day time. The construction equipment may result in high noise levels, which may
affect the personnel in the work zone. However, use of personal protective equipment‟s such as
earplugs, ear muffs will mitigate any adverse impact of the noise on working personnel.
Operation Phase
The noise generation during expansion phase may have insignificant impact on the existing ambient
noise levels because there is no major construction activity carried out. The noise generating
sources are from DG sets. The noise levels are ranged from 75-80 dB (A) for DG sets. The noise
dispersion from the plant units has been computed based on the mathematical model.
The incremental noise levels were observed at proposed project site considering 100m x 100m grid
intervals over an area of 1 km x 1 km study area. The maximum predicted noise levels due to
various plant activities will be 58dB (A).
The maximum noise level at plant measured is 66.0 dB (A) during day time and 52.0 dB(A), which
has been considered as background noise level. Noise attenuation effects due to barriers like the
enclosure, boundary wall, bushes and trees, air absorption, effect of wind, temperature and
humidity, greenbelt were not considered for modeling.
4.4 Water Requirement
Water requirement is 3.5 m3/day during operational phase. Water requirement will be fulfil by three
existing bore wells. PP has already applied for CGWA NOC.
The project proposal is limited to installation of new Storage tanks for augmentation of storage to
meet the increasing/emergent requirement during natural calamities and emergency etc. Water
consumption due to installation of new storage tanks will not increase. Hence the water
consumption of the plant will remain same.
The quantity of wastewater generation 1.2 m3/day under normal operation of the plant will not
increase due to no additional manpower will be deployed for regular operations.

Rainwater Harvesting Potential of the area:
The annual rainfall of the area is 954 mm. The rainwater harvesting potential is calculated as
262141.5 m3 annum.Considering 330 working days, the total ground water requirement would be
330 X 3.50 = 1155 KL/Annum, While the RWH potential of the area is 262141.5 m3/annum.
The area comes under Non-Notified Zone of “Over-exploited” Category. The stage of ground water
development is 104% which is self-explanatory. However 100% rainwater harvesting is suggested in
core zone of proposed Petroleum Terminal Plant is suggested.
4.5 Impact due to Solid / Hazardous Waste Generation
Construction Phase
Solid Waste
Generation of solid waste in the form of excavated earth is envisaged during the construction
period. There will be temporary piling of excavated earth and shall be utilized for levelling of the low
lying area in the terminal.
During construction of storage tanks, some solid materials are expected to be generated. The gas
cylinders used for welding shall be returned back to the supplier. Cement bags, plastic buckets, coal
tar drums, damaged tools and other containers are used during construction and discarded as solid
wastes.
Hazardous Waste
The hazardous materials used during the construction may include diesel, welding gas and paints,
etc. These have to be disposed carefully through authorized recycler.
4.6 Operational Phase
Domestic Solid Waste
The domestic wastes generated will be segregated at source. Domestic sewage generated
disposed off via existing Septic tank and soak pit.
Hazardous and solid waste Management
There will be no generation of any Solid hazardous waste by the plant. Leakage oil recovery
system and OWS are in place where leaked oil generated during maintenance activity will be
recovered thru OWS and recycled back to storage tanks.
Hazardous waste Generation and Its Management
The hazardous wastes generated is petroleum tank bottom sludge, Petroleum tanks are cleaned
once in five year , The type and quantities of Hazardous waste generated from various processes
are minimum. Terminal has the authorization from Madhya Pradesh pollution control board
(1234/HOPCB/HSMD/UR-15/2014) for Trans boundary movement and agreement with RAMKY
Pithampur party (MPPCB approved) for disposal/reutilization process based on quality of waste.

4.7 Biological Environment
Construction Phase
The proposed expansion activities will be carried out within the existing plant premises. There is no
forest land involved in project activities. During construction activities vegetation may be disturbed
which can be considered insignificant impact as marginal vegetation clearance involved in terms of
local shrubs, herbs and few stunted trees of babul species. Dust deposition on leaf lamina of
surrounding trees may occur during construction activities.
Operation Phase
The risk of any leakages in mounded storage vessels is almost negligible owing to stringent leak
prevention technologies. Thus, the probability and consequences of significant impact on biological
environment not envisaged. There is no National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary and Biosphere Reserve
within 10 km radius of the project site. There will not any significant impact on wildlife habitat due to
project activities. In normal condition, no wastewater is discharged outside the plant. During mock-
drill and in monsoon, the waste/rain water will be discharged through properly designed storm water
drain after passing through vapour trap, thus, insignificant impact on aquatic ecology envisaged
even in worst case.
4.8 Socio-economic environment
The project would create certain impacts which could be beneficial as well as adverse. It is
necessary to identify the extent of these impacts for further planning of control measures leading
to mitigation of the adverse impact.
Need assessment of the study area

During survey it was found, most of the working population were belongs to labour work and income
was less. Resources of income were less in the study area. Water facilities were not satisfactory
because water Shortage in Summer Season. Overall study area needs developments in
employment as well as in infrastructure facilities.
M/s Ratlam terminal Indian oil corporation Ltd has capacity Expansion plan, located in Bangord
Ratlam tehsil, district Ratlam, State Madhya Pradesh. The proposed expansion will generate Direct
& indirect employment indicative on the basis of skilled, semi-skilled and labour work. Due to
employment generation and additional amenities quality of life of the study area will improve in
future.
Quality of Life
Quality of life is a measure to know exact situation of villages/communities, It Includes income,

housing, jobs, education, environment, recreation, health, and life satisfaction etc. To know quality
of life in the study area, primary data collection through selected villages performed with structured
questionnaires.
It may be concluded that POL product terminal, Ratlam shall not impart any adverse impact on
physical features, water, and noise and air environment and would help in the socio-economic
upliftment of the state and the country.

5 ANALYSIS OF ALTERNATIVES (SITE AND TECHNOLOGY)
ALTERNATIVE SITE
Ratlam Terminal is spread in an area of 97 Acres. The existing POL Terminal at Bangrod, Ratlam
has enough space within its plant boundary to accommodate the expansion. Thus no change in
Land use is envisaged. Activity in preoccupied area only is having expansion provision. Hence, no
alternate sites were considered for the project. The land required for the expansion of the facilities is
already in possession of IOCL.
ALTERNATIVE TECHNOLOGY
The project proposal relates to enhance the petroleum product storage capacity of the POL terminal
from 77,918 KL to 163,918 KL (Existing capacity 77,918 KL + Expansion 86,000 KL) by constructing
petroleum product storage tanks of capacity 2 X 10,000 KL for MS tanks, 3 X 20,000 KL HSD tanks
and 1 X 6,000 KL Biodiesel Tank to construct at IOCL Ratlam terminal. IOCL has mastered the art
and technology of installation of POL product storage tanks. The E&P department of Marketing
Division of IOCL has earned a good credential for installation of POL storage tanks. The above
expertise of IOCL is well proven and workings efficiently at different locations of the country without
fail. IOCL is having excellent track record and progressive outlook in regularly updating its
technology. The technology adopted by IOCL for installation of POL product storage tanks is a fail-
safe.

7.2 RISK ASSESSMENT AND DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN
Introduction
Risk assessment (RA) provides a numerical measure of the risk that a particular facility poses to the
public. It begins with the identification of probable potential hazardous events at an industry and
categorization as per the predetermined criteria. The consequences of major credible events are
calculated for different combinations of weather conditions to simulate worst possible scenario.
These consequence predictions are combined to provide numerical measures of the risk for the
entire facility.
MCA analysis
The risk assessment report covers the following in terms of the extent of damage with resource to
MCA (maximum credible accident) analysis and delineation of risk mitigations measures.
 Hazardous area – Gantry, Dyke, Inventory
 Identification of potential hazardous sections and representative failure cases
 Visualization of release scenarios considering type and the quantity of the hazardous material
 Damage distance computations for the released cases at different wind velocities and
atmospheric stability classes for heat radiations and pressure waves.
 Drawing of damage contours on plot plan to show the effect due to the accidental release of
chemicals.
Hazard Identification
 Identification of hazards is an important step in risk assessment as it leads to the generation of

accidental scenarios. The merits of including the hazard for further investigation are
subsequently determined by its significance, normally using a cut-off or threshold quantity.
8 PROJECT BENEFITS
The proposed expansion project will have indirect positive impact on surrounding area which is as
mentioned below:
 The facility has the provision of Pipeline Receipt of Petroleum Products (MS, HSD, SKO and
ATF) Storage, Tank Truck Loading, Tank Wagon Loading and Transportation. The aim of the
project is to ensure better availability of petroleum products in Madhya Pradesh and neighboring
state. Also reducing logistic cost and environment protection by moving POL product from
Vadodara to Ratlam by Pipeline in Place of Rail Wagons. As well as ensuring implementation of
fuel upgradation and refinery expansion project at Gujarat Refinery.
 Plant will be set up on existing land of IOCL; hence no displacement of people is required.

Project is expected to be of varying nature.
 Employment will be generated thereby benefiting locals.
 Thus a significant benefit to the socio-economic environment is likely to be created due to the
project.

 Cater the fuel for Defense purpose.
9 ENVIRONMENTAL COST BENEFIT ANALYSIS
M/s IOCL has decided to enhance the storage capacity of the POL and storage facility for MS, HSD,
and Biodiesel. After enhancement the total capacity of the POL will be 1,63,198 KL at Bangrod,
Ratlam- (Madhya Pradesh).
9.1 ENVIRONMENTAL VALUE ENHANCEMENT (BIODIVERSITY, CROP PRODUCTIVITY,
ECO-TOURISM)
The project site is well connected to railways and roadways. The proposed expansion is planned at
existing IOCL, POL Ratlam terminal. Therefore, it will not involve loss of vegetation and biodiversity.
The vegetation is similar in the whole area with no sensitive ecosystem or rare and endangered
flora or fauna, hence no environmental loss will be there in terms of net productive value.
The increase in production of chemicals will be available to the user. It will definitely boost the
economic growth of the country; develop region and quality of life of the people in a sustainable
manner without creating any significant.
The total project cost is estimated to be Rs. 236 Crores and expenditure on implementation of the
Environmental Management Plan (EMP) is presented in Chapter 10 of this report. Besides tangible
benefits, the project has got number of intangible benefits like minimum emission of the generated
gases, no adverse impact on environment as far as air, noise and water environmental components are
concerned.
10 ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT PLAN
The main objectives in formulating this environmental management plan are:

 To limit / reduce the degree, extent, magnitude or duration of adverse impacts.
 To treat all the pollutants i.e. liquid effluent, air emissions and hazardous waste with
adoption of adequate and efficient technology.
 To comply with all the norms and standards stipulated by Maharashtra Pollution Control
Board / Central Pollution Control Board.
 To reduce any risk hazards and design the disaster management plan.
Continuous development and search for innovative technologies for a cleaner and better
environment
11 SUMMARY AND CONCLUSIONS
The proposed expansion project is environmentally, technically and economically feasible

with respect to followings.
 All activities are confined to existing plant and minimum possible emission is allowed to enter
the environment. Thus environment will not be adversely affected in any way.
 No waste water will be generating during the operation.
 The development of green area will help to attenuate the noise levels and restrict air
pollution and will increase the aesthetics value.
 The enterprise social commitment policy (formerly CSR) will work further in future to bring
out the development of quality of life of area.

 The cost of environmental control and monitoring measures are computed and cost towards
the same mentioned in the chapter 10.
Concluding Remarks:
Thus it can be concluded on a positive note that after the implementation of the mitigation
measures, Environmental Management and Monitoring Plans as enumerated above the normal
operation of Ratlam Terminal Indian Oil Corporation Limited, will have no significant impact on
environment and the project will be benefitted to local people with an economic growth in state/
country level.
