Waste Water/ Effluent Generation & Treatment
It is expected that waste water (domestic sewage) generated from the project will be
about 330 KLD (@ 80% of fresh water, 100 % flushing water). The domestic sewage will
be treated in a onsite Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) using SBR technology. About
243.2 KLD of treated effluent will be generated, which will be reused for Flushing,
Horticulture & HVAC cooling. The surplus treated effluent will be discharged to external
sewer.
The wastewater (trade effluent) generated from OPD, IPD, OT, Blood bank and Labs will
be about 69 KLD which will be treated in onsite ETP with a capacity of 85 KLD capacity.
2.2 What is the quality of water required, in case, the supply is not from a
municipal source? (Provide physical, chemical, Biological characteristics with
class of water quality).
2.3 How much of water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated
wastewater? (Give the details of quantities, sources and usage)
It is expected that waste water (sewage) generated from the project will be about 275
KLD (@ 80% of fresh water, 100 % flushing water). The sewage will be treated in onsite
STP and about 247.5 KLD of treated sewage will be generated. The same will be reused
for flushing, horticulture & HVAC cooling. Surplus treated effluent will be discharged to
external sewer.
2.4 Will there be diversion of water from other users? (Please assess the impacts
of the project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption).
There will not be any diversion of water from other users and water requirements will be
met from the local municipality, i.e.. Ghaziabad Development Authority (GDA). No impact
of the project on other existing uses and quantities of consumption is expected.
2.5 What is the incremental pollution load from wastewater generated from the
proposed activity? (Give details of the quantities and composition of wastewater
generated from the proposed activity)
It is expected that waste water (domestic sewage) generated from the project will be
about 188 KLD (@ 80% of fresh water, 100 % flushing water). The domestic sewage will
The wastewater (trade effluent) generated from OPD, IPD, OT, Blood bank and Labs will
be approx. 69 KLD which will be treated in onsite ETP of 85 KLD capacity. The outlet
effluent characteristics are given in Table-9.
2.6 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish
details of the facilities created.
Storm water from various buildings shall be connected to adjacent drain by a pipe
through catch drains connecting to 30 Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) pits at selected
locations to utilize the maximum run-off from the project area.
Since existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm
water pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be
brought down through rain water pipes.
Rain water harvesting has been proposed and designed as per the guidelines of Central
Ground Water Authority (CGWA). The recharge pit of 3.14 × 3 × 3 × 2 Inside the
recharge pit, a recharge bore is constructed. The bottom of the recharge structure will be
kept 5 m above ground water level. At the bottom of the recharge well, a filter media is
provided to avoid choking of the recharge bore. The design specifications of the rain
water harvesting plan are as follows:
Runoff Load
Roof-top Area = 8,660.861 × 0.05 × 0.90
= 389.73 m3/hr
Green Area = 6100 × 0.05 × 0.1
= 30.5 m3/hr

2.7 What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the
proposed project on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative)
of the area in the post construction phase on a long term basis? Would it
aggravate the problems of flooding or water logging in any way?
The project will include paved areas and thus the runoff from the plot is expected to
increase due to reduced infiltration. However, the increased runoff will not cause flooding
or water logging as a well-designed storm water drainage system will be provided. The
runoff will finally be collected into rainwater harvesting pits for groundwater recharge.
The project is not likely to have any adverse impact on the waterlogging or flooding in the
area.
2.8 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (will there be
tapping of ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging
capacity and approvals obtained from competent authority, if any) .
2.9 What precautions measures have been proposed to check the surface run-off,
as well as uncontrolled flow of water into any water body?
Adequate management measures have been suggested to protect water quality during
construction phase. Excavation during monsoon season will be avoided. Care will be
taken to avoid soil erosion. Community toilets shall be constructed on the site during
construction phase and the wastewater will be treated in a septic tank and shall be
connected to the nearest sewerage network to prevent adverse impacts on water quality.
2.10 How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions
made to avoid flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along
with a site layout indication contour levels).
Most of the storm water runoff shall be collected through rainwater harvesting structures
for ground water recharge. A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed
to take care of excess rainfall ruoff if any, and sites not covered under Rain Water
Harvesting Scheme. The details of Storm Water Management System are given in
Annexure-IV.
The plan will incorporate best management practices which will include the following:
Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.
Installation of clarifiers or Oil/Water separators system of adequate capacity around
parking areas and garages as per requirement.
Cover waste storage areas.
Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.
2.11 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period
lead to unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper
explanation).
Mostly local laborers will be employed during construction phase and thus negligible
quantities of wastes will be generated. Community toilets will be constructed and the
wastewater generated will be treated in septic tanks prior to disposal into nearest
sewerage network.
2.12 What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe
disposal of sewage? (Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation,
treatment capacities with technology & facilities for recycling and disposal).
It is expected that waste water (domestic sewage) generated from the project will be
about 275 KLD (@ 80% of fresh water, 100 % flushing water). The domestic sewage will
be treated in onsite STP capacity of 330 KLD generating 243.5 KLD of treated effluent
which will be reused for Flushing, Horticulture & HVAC cooling. Surplus treated effluent
will be discharged to external sewer.
Fill
During the fill phase, the basin receives influent sewage. The influent brings food to the
microbes in the activated sludge, creating an environment for biochemical reactions to
take place. Mixing and aeration can be varied during fill phase to create the following
three different scenarios:
Static Fill - Under a static-fill scenario, there is no mixing or aeration while the influent
sewage is entering the tank. Static fill is used during the initial start-up phase of a facility,
at plants that do not need to nitrify or denitrify and during low-flow periods to save power.
Since, the mixers and aerators remain off, this scenario has an energy-saving
component.
Mixed Fill – Under a mixed-fill scenario, mechanical mixers are active, but the aerators
remain off. The mixing action produces a uniform blend of influent sewage and biomass.
Since there is no aeration, an anoxic condition is present, which promotes denitification.
Anaerobic conditions can also be achieved during mixed-fill phase. Under anaerobic
conditions, biomass undergoes release of phosphorous. This release is reabsorbed by
the biomass once aerobic conditions are reestablished. This phosphorous release will
not happen with anoxic conditions.
Aerated Fill – Under and aerated-fill scenario, both the aerators and the mechanical-
mixing units are activated. The contents of the basin are aerated to convert the anoxic or
anaerobic zone over to an aerobic zone. No adjustments to the aerated-fill cycle are
needed to reduce organics and achieve nitrification. However, to achieve denitrification,
it is necessary to switch the oxygen off during this phase with the blowers, oxic and
anoxic conditions are created, allowing for nitrification and denitrification. Dissolved
oxygen (DO) is to be monitored during this phase so it does not go over 0.2 mg/l. This
ensures that an anoxic condition will occur during the idle phase.
Most of the carbonaceous BOD removal occurs in the React phase. Further nitrification
occurs by allowing the mixing and aeration to continue the majority of denitrification
takes place in the mixed-fill phase. The phosphorus released during mixed fill, plus some
additional phosphorus is taken up during the react phase.
Settle
During this phase, activated sludge is allowed to settle under quiescent conditions – no
flow enters the basin and no aeration and mixing takes place. The activated sludge tends
to settle as a flocculent mass, forming a distinctive interface with the clear supernatant.
The sludge mass is called sludge blanket. This phase is critical part of the cycle,
because if the solids do not settle rapidly, some sludge can be drawn off during the
subsequent decant phase and thereby degrade effluent quality.
Decant
During this phase, a decanter is used to remove the clear supernatant effluent. Once the
settle phase is complete, a signal is sent to the decanter to initiate the opening of an
effluent-discharge valve. There are floating and fixed arm decanters. Floating decanters
maintain the inlet orifice slightly below the water surface to minimize the removal of
solids in the effluent removed during the decant phase. Floating decanters offer the
operator flexibility to vary fill and draw volumes. Fixed-arm decanters are less expansive
and can be designed to allow the operator to lower or raise the level of the decanter. It is
optimal that the decanted volume is the same as the volume is the same as the volume
that enters the basin during the fill phase. It is also important that no surface foam or
scum is decanted. The vertical distance from the decanter to the bottom of the tank
should be maximized to avoid disturbing the settled biomass.
Idle
This step occurs between decant and fill phases. The time varies, based on the influent
flow rate and the operating strategy. During this phase, a small amount of activated
sludge at the bottom of the SBR basin is pumped out - a process called wasting.
The wastewater (trade effluent) generated from OPD, IPD, OT, Blood bank and Labs will
be approx. 69 KLD which will be treated in onsite ETP of 85 KL capacity.
Bar Screen
Effluent from the source is usually received into the bar screen chamber by gravity.
Screen provided will remove all floating and big size matter such as plastic bottles,
polythene bags, glasses, stones, etc., which may otherwise choke the pipeline and
pumps.
If the effluent generated includes higher concentrations of oil and grease, it needs to be
removed before biological treatment as it otherwise may cause problems for biological
treatment. Usually, a small civil construction tank with a baffle wall and slotted oil pipe
skimmer is provided. The oil and grease removed by gravity floats to the surface, which
is removed by the oil skimmer.
Equalization Tank
Treatment process
Online dosing of alum, lime and poly shall be dosed to control the COD and after that
effluent shall pass through the aerobic process to stabilize the biological process and
after that finally it will be pass through Tube settler to settle the waste.
After tube settlers, the effluent shall overflow to the Moving Bed Bio Reactor Tank, is a
favourable environment for the microorganism. PVC satirized fluidized media is provided
for the prevailing of microorganism on it for the treatment of the effluent biologically. The
biologically treated effluent with bio flocs shall be transferred to the secondary settling
tank, where tube deck media is provided to enhance the settling of the bio flocs.
Chlorine tank
After settling tank, chlorine shall be dosed to remove bacterial effects at Chlorination
tank by chlorine dosing pump.
The clarified water shall be stored in break water tank to feed in Filtration plant and
carbon filter for final treatment.
Sludge
The sludge from the Clarifier to be removed from the bottom of the Clarifier, once in a
week by gravity to sludge holding tank and it will be pumped to sludge drying beds for
final dewatering. Final solids shall be used as manure and water shall be re-circulated to
Equalization tank.
2.13 Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste used for flushing of
toilets or any other use.
Dual plumbing system that utilizes separate piping systems for freshwater and recycled
wastewater will be adopted for the proposed project. Treated water from the on-site STP
is estimated at 247.5 kld. The recycled water system shall utilize this treated waste water
and serve for non-contact uses such as flushing, Horticulture, fountain and HVAC cooling
purpose.

project i.e. 15.07 % of the plot area will be developed as greenbelt and organized green
spaces. The general consideration involved while developing the greenbelt are:
The plantation shall be at a spacing of 2.5 * 2.5 m. About 1550 trees will be planted. The
plantation and maintenance of the plantation area shall also be done by the project
proponents in association with the local horticulture department State Government. An
amount of Rs. 0.5 million can be earmarked for this purpose. The selection of species for
greenbelt development shall be done in consultation with the local horticulture
department. The proposed landscape plan is enclosed as Annexure-VIII.
.
SECTION 4-FAUNA
4.1 Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna both terrestrial and aquatic or
creation of barriers for their movement? Provide the details.
The existing land use around the proposed site is urban area and does not provide a
habitat for wild species. A few species of butterfly, avifauna and reptiles were recorded at
the site, which are common and are commonly found in the area. The proposed
multilayered peripheral greenbelt will provide an excellent habitat for the native fauna.
4.2 Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.
The project will not have any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area.
However, planting of trees in the proposed greenbelt will be an attraction to the local bird
population which will provide shelter and niche for the birds
Not Applicable
5.1 Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat
islands? (Give details of background air quality levels with predicted values based
on dispersion models taking into account the increased traffic generation as a
result of the proposed construction).
5.2 What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other
hazardous gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.
During operation phase, there will be increase in atmospheric concentration of gases and
particulate matter due to operation of DG sets. 4 DG Sets of total capacity 3000 kVA (4 x
750 kVA) each will be provided for back up electricity supply during power failure. This
will cause emissions of PM, SO2, NO2 and CO. However, DG Sets will be operational
only during power failure and low sulphur diesel will be used. Adequate stack heights for
DG Sets will be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control
Board (CPCB) to facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases.
5.3 Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish
details of the present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for
improvement including the traffic management at the entry and exit to the project
site.
Adequate provisions will be made for car/vehicle parking at the project site. Ambulance
parking shall also be provided additionally. Details are provided below:
5.4 Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks,
pedestrian pathways, footpaths etc, with areas under each category.
Internal roads of adequate width, footpaths/pedestrian pathways have been well planned
for the proposed project. A site layout plan is attached showing details about the
provisions for footpaths, pedestrian pathways, internal roads, etc.
5.5 Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of
the sources and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.
Significant impact of noise has been anticipated within and outside of the project site due
to provision of wide roads for smooth flow of traffic and greenbelt along the roads. Noise,
due to the traffic, within site, will result in a marginal increase in ambient noise levels,
which will cause slight increase in noise level. The ambient noise level data is given in
Table-12.
5.6 What will be the impact of D.G. sets and other equipment on noise levels and
vibration in ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.
During operation phase, major source of noise would be the increased vehicular
movement. The operating standard in a hospital project is the noise level in the Silence
Zone is an area comprising of not less than 100 m around hospitals, educational
institutions, court, religious places or any other area which is declared as such by the
competent authority. The permissible Noise level for Silence Zone are 50 dB(A) in day
During operation phase, vehicular movement and operation of DG sets are the major
sources of noise pollution. However, operation of DG set and vehicular movement will not
have any significant impact on the people residing in the area.
Since DG sets will not be operational continuously and moreover it will be placed away
from residential settlements and will be enclosed with suitable enclosures, hence no or
minimal impact will be anticipated. It is envisaged that the movement of the motor
vehicles will be restricted to designated carriageways only. However, following measures
to control noise from DG sets are recommended:
Maximum permissible sound pressure level for new diesel generator sets with
rated capacity upto 1000 KVA shall be 75 dB(A) at 1 m from the enclosure
surface.
Noise from DG set should be controlled by providing an acoustic enclosure or by
treating the enclosure acoustically.
Acoustic Enclosure shall be made of CRCA sheets of appropriate thickness and
structural/ sheet metal base. The walls of the enclosure shall be insulated with fire
retardant foam so as to comply with the 75 dB(A) at 1 m sound levels specified by
Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB), Ministry of Environment, Forest and
Climate Change (MOEF&CC).
Acoustic enclosure/acoustic treatment of the room shall be designed for minimum
25 dB (A) Insertion Loss or for meeting the ambient noise standards, whichever is
on the higher side.
DG set shall also be provided with proper exhaust muffler.
DG set will be mounted on vibration isolator pads to reduce impacts of noise and
vibrations.
Proper routine and preventive maintenance procedure for the DG set shall be set
and followed in consultation with the DG set manufacturer which would help

Collection of Waste: the collection of bio-medical wastes shall be done as per the Bio-
medical Waste Management Rules, 2016. The recommended colour coding and type of
container as per these Rules is given in Table-14.
The total solid waste generation will be about 75 kg/day. Out of which about 0.20
tonne/day will be bio-degardable solid waste. Solid waste will be segregated into
biodegradable and non-biodegradable waste components and collected in separate bins.
The biodegradable organic wastes will be treated inside the premises. Recyclable
wastes will be sold to recyclers for recycling and inert waste will be sent to nearby landfill
site.
It is expected that waste water (domestic sewage) generated from the project will be
about 275 KLD (@ 80% of fresh water, 100 % flushing water). The domestic sewage will
be treated in onsite STP capacity of 330 KLD generating 243.5 KLD of treated effluent
which will be reused for Flushing, Horticulture & HVAC cooling. Surplus treated effluent
will be discharged to external sewer.
It is proposed to have separate drainage system for surface storm water. Surface storm
water will be conveyed to existing drainage system through open/ closed drain.
Roof drainage will be through gutter/down take pipe. Rain water from roof will be
collected in catch basins located at different places and will be conveyed 30 Rain Water
Harvesting pits located at various locations in the project area.
During operation phase, the major source of noise would be the increased vehicular
movement. The operating standard in this project is the noise level in the Silence Zone is
an area comprising of not less than 100 m around hospitals, educational institutions,
court, religious places or any other area which is declared as such by the competent
authority. The permissible Noise level for Silence Zone are 50 dB(A) in day time (6 AM to

Coordinator
The Environmental Monitoring Committee shall assess whether the implemented EMP is
adequate, periodic environmental audits will be conducted by the project proponent’s
Environmental division. These audits will be followed by Correction Action Plan (CAP) to
correct various issues identified during the audits.
Construction Phase
It is proposed to monitor the treated effluent from septic tanks. The frequency of
monitoring could be once per month. Since, 1 septic tank is to be commissioned during
construction phase, a total of 24 samples/year need to be analysed. The parameters to
be monitored include pH, Bio-chemical Oxygen Demand, COD, Total Suspended Solids
(TSS) and Total Dissolved Solids (TDS). The cost of analysis of one sample is expected
to be Rs.2,000. Thus, total cost for analysis of 36 samples is expected to be Rs.0.048
million/year. For construction phase of 3 years and considering 10% escalation per year,
an amount of Rs.0.16 million can be earmarked for monitoring during the entire
construction phase. The analysis work can be done by a laboratory recognized by the
State Pollution Control Board (SPCB).
Operation phase
During operation phase, the treated effluent from the STP and ETP shall be monitored
everyday. The parameters to be monitored are pH, BOD, COD, TSS, Oil and grease.
The cost of analysis per sample is Rs.2000.
The total cost of analysis will be Rs.0.146 million per year. This analysis shall be done
throughout the entire life of the project. The analysis work can be conducted by a
reputed external agency recognized by Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board. The other
option could be that an inhouse laboratory be set up, which can do the monitoring work.
Construction Phase
The ambient air quality monitoring during construction phase can be carried out by an
external agency, approved by the Uttar Pradesh Pollution Control Board at four stations
within 1 km of the construction site. Every year monitoring is to be done for the following
three seasons:
- Winter
- Summer
- Post-monsoon
The frequency of monitoring could be twice a week for four consecutive weeks at each
station for each season. The parameters to be monitored are Respirable Particulate
Matter (RPM), Suspended Particulate Matter (SPM), Sulphur dioxide (SO2) and Nitrogen
Oxides (NOx).
Every year, ambient air quality is to be monitored for (4 stations * 2 days/week * 4 weeks
x 3 seasons) 96 days. A total cost of Rs. 0.192 million/year @ Rs.2000/day can be
earmarked for this purpose. For a construction phase of 3 years and considering
escalation @ 10% every year an amount of Rs. 0.64 million can be earmarked for
ambient air quality monitoring during the entire construction phase.
10.7.3 Noise
