ABSTRACT
Objective: The objective of this study is baseline status of air, water, noise, land, biological and
socio-economic environments. Environmental Impact Assessment study is key for any Project with
out this study its not possible to get the approval keeping this in view this study has exist.
Methods: Methodology has been followed for Environmental Impact Assessment study has been
conducted within an area of around 10 km radius around the project site as per ISO Standard Air
Quality, Water Quality, Soil Quality, and Noise Quality.
Findings: Socio economic and Biological conditions under this flora and fauna available in the
study area and solid waste management, Occupational safety and health management strategies
has been recommended.
Applications: This type of studies very much useful for preparation of EIA Reports.
Key words: Air Quality, Water Quality, Soil Quality

1. INTRODUCTION
Ferro alloy industries additionally to contribute considerably towards economic process, conjointly in their
wake cause environmental imbalance by making pollution. Thus the plant activities should co-exist
satisfactorily with its close surroundings therefore on scale back the environmental impact of those
activities. this needs sound environmental management arrange to be enforced by the plant proponents, that
makes environmental protection as essential demand equal in standing with production needs. Any project
is aware of its responsibility towards the society in minimizing the pollution load owing to this projected
activity and per circular issued to organize a fast Environmental Impact Assessment Report alongside
Environmental Management arrange for submission for grant of Environmental Clearance for their
projected growth programmer1-3.
2. OBJECTIVES
To determine and quantify important impacts as a result of the projected activity on numerous
environmental elements through prediction of impacts.
To value the useful and adverse impacts of the projected activity.
To prepare Associate in Nursing Environmental Management arrange (EMP) description management
technologies and measures to be adopted for mitigation of adverse impacts if any, as a consequence of
the projected activity.
To prepare a Post Project observation Programme for checking and regulation the environmental quality
of the project and facilitate in property development of the area.
3. METHODOLOGY
Any developmental activity is predicted to cause impacts on close surroundings throughout the
development and operation phases. The impacts is also adverse or useful. So as to assess the impacts as a
consequence of the projected action, an EIA study has been conducted among a region of 12 kilometer
radius round the project site. The varied steps concerned in EIA study are separated into the following
phases:
Identification of great environmental limitations and assessing the present perpendicular among the
influence zone with respect of soil, water, noise, air, biological and socioeconomic elements of
surroundings.
Prediction of impact on air quality taking into thought the projected emissions to project the situation.
Prediction of impact on Water, Land, Biological and Socio Economic surroundings
Evaluation of total impacts once superimposing the expected situation over the baseline situation to
arrange an Environmental Management arrange.
4.2. Climatology
In this study area the extreme and lowest temperatures are 45oC & 22oC and maximum and minimum
comparative humidity standards are 65 & 75 were recorded during the reading period. The climate of the
area is considered by hot summer and is normally dry except during the southwest rainy season season,
amongst the months of July and September.
were monitored on site. The parameters thus analysed were compared with IS 10500. Details of water
sampling locations are given in Table
Agricultural activities are in all seasons. Major crops in the area are paddy, groundnut, sugarcane, cotton,
sunflower, etc.
Medical facilities are adequate, only few villages have the primary health care centers. For any major health
care, the people of the area has to go to Vijayanagaram. The common diseases are diarrhea, malaria, gastro-
enteritis and eye and skin diseases.
Educational facilities are also adequate. The nearest educational center is Garbham, Merakamudidam,
Vijayanagaram.
This region is well connected by rail and road.
Many villages are adequately provided with protected water supply but lack efficient sewage disposal
system.
In general the subsequent methods will be implemented to controller the noise pollution.
The decrease or removal of noise leakage paths.
The usage of vibration insulation techniques.
Proper plantation of trees depending on the wind velocity can reduce noise pollution on the surrounding
area.
Providing earmuffs and earplugs to the plant personnel.
In addition to the above, the following control measures are being adopted to keep the ambient noise levels
well below the limits
A thick greenbelt is provided around the periphery of the plant area.
Trees are planted on both sides of roads used for transport of men and material.
Proper maintenance is being done of noise generating machinery including the transport vehicles; and
Silencers are provided to modulate the noise generated by machines.
The following measures are being implemented by the protect the workers from exposure to higher noise
levels:
Provision of protective devices like ear muffs/ear plugs;
Reducing the exposure time of workers to the higher noise levels.
A thick greenbelt all along the roads, plant area has been developed under afforestation programme
under the expansion scheme will increase the density of existing greenbelt by gap filling.
Based on climate and soil characteristics of the study area, plant species should be planted. The
climate of the region is extreme where there is low rainfall as well as extreme heat and soil temperature is
very high in summer. Hence in order to have a ground cover, some fast growing species, which do not
require watering, should be planted for mass plantation10.
