National Museum of Natural History has proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg,
behind Purana Quila, New Delhi.
The development will be done is in accordance with Municipal Corporation of Delhi and will be
developed as per the master plan of Delhi.
Land Area: The proposed Project is being developed on the total plot area of 26,299 m2
.
Built up Area: The built up area of the proposed project is 46,025.78 m2
which includes the
FAR and Basement.
Water Consumption: During the construction phase, water requirement will be met through the
private water tanker. It is estimated that water demand during the construction phase may vary
from 24 KLD.
The total water requirement for the proposed project has been estimated to be 370 KLD. This
includes domestic water requirement, flushing, landscaping, DG cooling and make water
requirement for swimming pool. The total fresh water requirement is 138 KLD which includes
Domestic water requirement & make water requirement for swimming pool. T he water
requirement for Flushing, DG cooling and landscaping will be met through treated water from
STP.

Approx. 1.09 Km, NW
Approx. 1.26 km , NNW

Lady Irwin College Approx. 2 Km , NNW
Parking Requirements: 635 ECS is provided in the basement, stilt and on surface.
1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the
proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities, details of the existing land use,
disturbance to the local ecology).
The proposed development shall be carried out as per the Delhi building by-laws and as per
planned land use, hence no negative impact is envisaged due to proposed development. Further,
the construction as well as operation stage of the project will generate direct and indirect
employment opportunities for a large section of society. The employment will have positive
impact thereby improving the quality of life.
As the project site for construction consists of herbs and shrubs it will require clearance of land
for construction purposes. The green area will be developed as shelter belt, along with avenue
plantation on both sides of road, lawns area including herbs and shrubs. The indigenous/local
plants will be planted, which will increase the aesthetic value of the area. Hence, there will be no
disturbance to the local ecology of the area.
1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence &
instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc
may be given).
Delhi geography divides the state into three parts- the Delhi ridge, the Yamuna flood plain and
the plains. The Yamuna river plains are very fertile as they are flooded by the river and rich in
alluvial soil. The Delhi ridge is the most important characteristic of the state and is a part of the
Aravali range that passes through Delhi.
Soil Type: The soil type is derivative of Yamuna flood plain alluvium due to which there is
progressive clayey material at the top of the soil horizon while the sand and silt portions increase
progressively downwards.
The Soil sample was collected from the project site and the results are given in Table- 1 below:-

The proposed activity will not affect any land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence and
instability. The area is not susceptible to erosion.
Slope Analysis:
The topography of the City is almost plain.

(Source: CGWB 2008-2009)
The project area possesses fairly plain terrain with negligible drainage slope of the project site.
Subsidence/Erosion:
Proper greening and paving of site area will not cause any soil subsidence problem.
Seismicity:
 The whole country has been divided into 5 S eismic zones as per maximum intensity of
‘Modified Mercalli Scale’ (MMS). The project site lies in Seismic Zone IV, called as ‘High
Damage Risk Zone’.(Reference: India Earthquake Zone map)
Seismic zone classification of India is shown in Figure-4.

1.5 Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contour
map showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site).
River Yamuna is coming within 0.73 km towards East and MCD Drain is adjacent to the
proposed site towards North. No natural drainage lies in the vicinity of the Proposed Project Site.
Drainage map of the proposed project site is given in the Figure-5 below:

Figure-5: Drainage Map of 10 km radius of the Project Site

1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-cutting, filling,
reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill
materials from outside the site etc?)
During Construction phase, excavation will be carried out to provide foundations and for
establishing the pillar. This excavated soil will be properly stacked within the site under tarpaulin
cover. The filling works will be done by the excavated material and no extra material will be
used. All the topsoil excavated during construction activities is being stored for use in
horticulture/landscape development within the project site.
1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the construction
period.
Water Supply:
Water required during the construction period will be supplied through private water tanker.
It is estimated that water demand during the construction phase may vary from 24 KLD.
Water will be used in the construction activity for cement mixing, sprinkling, dust
suppression and domestic purposes of the construction workers.
Waste Generation/Handling:
Sewage: The existing sewerage collection facilities comprising of toilets and urinals shall be
used by the construction workers and staff involved. No additional sewage shall be generated
which has to be separately disposed off.
Construction waste: No demolition waste will be generated as the site was a vacant plot
when the excavation began. The solid waste generated during the construction phase like
metal cutting. Debris, plastic material and wooden log etc. is being collected and stored in a
separate covered area so as to prevent damage to property and personnel working at the
project site. Further, most of the construction debris is being used for filling activities and the
rest is being disposed off through authorized recyclers. The excavated soil will be used on
site for the development of green belt and leveling of the plot.
The waste generated during the construction activities is limited to project site only and
during construction phase only. These will be reused for backfilling and road development
after manual segregation. This waste shall be utilized for construction of roads.
Major types of construction wastes are expected from the proposed Project: -
 Clean Fills:
Clean fill is uncontaminated soil, rock, sand, gravel, concrete, asphaltic concrete, cinder
blocks brick, minimal amounts of wood and metal and inert (non-reactive) solids for fill,
reclamation or other beneficial use. Minimal means the smallest amount possible.

 Recovered Materials
Recovered Materials are those removed for reuse (lumber, doors, windows, ceramic tile
and glass) and those removed to be recycled into new products. Potentially recyclable
construction and demolition wastes will include scrap metals, asphalt shingles, sheet
rock, lumber, glass and electrical wire.
 Regulated construction and demolition waste
Regulated construction and demolition wastes are those not classified as clean fill and not
being reused or recycled. Regulated non-hazardous construction and demolition wastes
will be disposed off at a permitted landfill or transfer station.
Scrap metal painted with heavy metals will be sent to a salvage yard for recycling.
Conclusively, it can be stated that impacts may be confined to small area (mainly to project
site) and for short duration. Construction waste will be reused; disposal of non-reusable
waste will be done through authorized vendors/recyclables.

1.8 Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and
wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity).
Sewage generated will be treated in the onsite STP of Fluidised Bed Reactor Technology of 320
KLD. Hence, no low lying areas will get altered.
1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give
quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the
construction labor and the means of disposal).
 No significant health hazard is associated with the proposed construction.
 During construction period, source of fugitive dust generation is from material handling and
vehicular movement. Impact due to fugitive dust emission shall be negligible as water
sprinklers are being used to suppress fugitive dust emission as and when generate. However,

the impacts are confined to laborers/workers particularly with regard to occupational
exposure. Proper Personal Protective Equipments have been provided to the workers working
in the potential areas (e.g. masks, ear plugs etc.).
 Careful design, planning and good site management has minimized waste of materials such
as concrete, mortars and cement grouts. Construction wastes are being segregated as much as
possible at site itself to increase the feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling
material and steel pieces as saleable scrap. Litter disposal and collection points have been
established around the work sites. Empty packaging materials, drums, glass, tin, paper,
plastic, pet bottles, wood, and other packaging materials, etc are being disposed through
recyclers. The construction spoils are being temporarily stored at designated dumpsite
located inside the site premises. Later on these wastes will be used for land filling / leveling
work within the site premises. An estimate of the average composition of waste generated
from the onsite construction activities given in Table-2.

2.2. What is the capacity (dependable flow or yield) of the proposed source of water?
Water requirement of construction phase will be met from Private water supplier/treated water
from CSTP. While during operation phase water requirement will be met through Municipal
supply.
2.3. 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)
Water requirement of construction phase will be met from Private water supplier/treated water
from CSTP. During post construction water demand will be met form Delhi Jal Board. Ground
water, if required abstraction will be done only after getting NOC from CGWA. During
operation phase the supplied drinking water to each dwelling unit will be as per Bureau of Indian
Standards (BIS) and IS: 10500-2012.
2.4. How much of the water requirement can be met from the recycling of treated wastewater?
(Give the details of quantities, sources and usage)
About 132 KLD of total water requirement will be fulfilled from recycled water after treatment
from STP and rest will be met from Delhi Jal Board.
2.5. 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 such diversion of water from other users as the water demand during
construction phase will be met from Private water tanker. In operational phase water demand
will be met form Delhi Jal Board. Ground water abstraction, if required will be done only after
getting NOC from CGWA. Hence, no impact on others user observed.
2.6. 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).
During the operational phase, 165 KLD waste water will be generated which will be treated in
the proposed sewage treatment Plant.
The waste water generated will be treated in the Sewage Treatment Plan, and the capacity of
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) will be higher of waste water generated i.e. 320 K LD. The
proposed STP is based on FBR (Fluidised Bed Reactor). The treated waste water will be used for
flushing and horticulture, DG Cooling purposes.
The waste water generation is given in Table-5. Table-6 shows expected characteristic of
untreated and treated wastewater.

The waste water generation will be about 165 KLD. After treatment in STP, about 132 KLD will
be available for reuse, which will be used for flushing, horticulture, DG Cooling and all excess
treated water will be discharged to sewer.
2.7. Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the
facilities created.
(i) Rainwater Collection Potential for Reuse or Recharging
 Rainwater harvesting is the activity of direct collection of rainwater. Collected Rainwater
will be stored for direct use, for harvesting or for recharging the groundwater. Rain Water
Harvesting is the technique through which rain water is captured from the roof and paved
surfaces and stored in sub-surface ground water reservoir by adopting artificial recharge
techniques. The run off calculations for Rain Water Harvesting are shown in Table-7 and for
pits in Table-8.

 As in delhi, the ground water table is very high i.e. 2.5 m below the existing ground level. So,
RWH pits are not feasible.
 Therefore, we are proposing 5 rain water harvesting structure.
Table-7 Runoff Calculation of the Area
Table-8: Numbers of RWH Structure Calculation
As per the calculation provided above, we are proposing 5 nos. of RWH structure.
2.8. 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?
 There will not be such impact as the proposed project will be developed on a land base which
is for “cultural” purpose as per the Delhi Master Plan 2021.
 As the project site is almost plain land and the topography of the site is not anticipated to
change due to the project activities, hence, no impacts are expected on the drainage profile or
runoff characteristics after construction phase.

 A network of storm water drain is proposed all along the direction along the main roads and
cross roads of suitable area size. All storm water drains will be covered with RC slabs so as to
prevent the entry of soil and dust. Storm water collected through storm water drains and
discharged into existing Storm Water Drains. Storm water drains will be constructed on all
the edges of roads.
 The proposed project will have a storm water management system aiming at “Maximum uses
of Storm water.” The system will include collection of storm water and roof-top rainwater
and stored through designed RWH structure. Excess storm water will be discharged outside
of the project site through a drainage system. The proposed project would not aggravate the
problems of flooding or water logging in anyway.
2.9 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)
Adequate management measures are being taken to protect the water quality during construction
phase. Excavation during monsoon season will be avoided. Care is being taken to avoid soil
erosion. To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers
shall be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area
shall be kept effectively impervious. Collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of
equipment wash downs, and prevention of soil loss and toxic release from the construction site
will be adhered to minimize water pollution. Figure-9 and Figure-10 shows Hydrogeology map
of India and categorization of Blocks. Figure-11 shows Depth to water level in post monsoon.
Figure-12 shows area identified for artificial recharge in Delhi.

2.9. What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the runoff from construction activities
polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the
adverse impacts)
The construction shall be taken up on a piece of land within the existing Public and semi-public
area which is enclosed from three side. As such there shall not be major impact due to the runoff
from construction activities. However, a channel shall be prepared to collect the surface runoff
during rains to collect at a place which shall be disposed off to existing storm water drain.
In operation phase most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested through rain water
harvested structure. Thus proper management of this resource must be ensured so that it is free of
contamination. A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider
the sources of storm water. 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.
 Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness.
Project Site

 Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.
 Provision of silt traps in storm water drains.
 Good housekeeping in the above areas.
Precautions /Measures Taken to Prevent the Run-Off from Construction Activities
• Domestic Wastewater from Toilets: Additional generation of sewage is not envisaged to be
treated and disposed off separately. Existing sewage line with toilet facilities shall be used by
then involved construction workers and staff.
• Site Development and Construction: The wastewater generation during site development
and construction mainly includes the storm water run-off from the construction areas,
stockpiles of construction materials and wastes, etc. mainly containing high suspended solids
(SS), in case these activities are undertaken during rainy season.
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).
As the ground water table is very high i.e. 2.5 m below the existing ground level. So, RWH pits
are not feasible. Therefore, we are proposing the rain water harvesting structure for the direct use
or for water harvesting. Most of the storm water will be managed through Rain water harvesting
technology. The storm water management plan will include practices as stated in point 2.7 & 2.8
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).
No it shall not lead to unsanitary conditions. Additional generation of sewage is not envisaged to
be treated and disposed off separately. Existing sewage line with toilet facilities shall be used by
then involved construction workers and staff.
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).
There is a provision of the onsite STP to treat the sewage. The treatment of sewage generated
from the site will be done in proposed Sewage treatment of capacity 320 KLD.

Fluidised Bed Reactor (FBR)
A fluidized bed reactor (FBR) is a type of reactor device that can be used to carry out a variety of
multiphase chemical reactions. In this type of reactor, a fluid (gas or liquid) is passed through a
solid granular material (usually a catalyst possibly shaped as tiny spheres) at high enough
velocities to suspend the solid and cause it to behave as though it were a fluid. This process,
known as fluidization, imparts many important advantages to the FBR. As a result, the fluidized
bed reactor is now used in many industrial applications.
The solid substrate (the catalytic material upon which chemical species react) material in the
fluidized bed reactor is typically supported by a porous plate, known as a distributor. The fluid is
then forced through the distributor up through the solid material. At lower fluid velocities, the
solids remain in place as the fluid passes through the voids in the material. This is known as a
packed bed reactor. As the fluid velocity is increased, the reactor will reach a stage where the
force of the fluid on the solids is enough to balance the weight of the solid material. This stage is
known as incipient fluidization and occurs at this minimum fluidization velocity. Once this
minimum velocity is surpassed, the contents of the reactor bed begin to expand and swirl around
much like an agitated tank or boiling pot of water. The reactor is now a fluidized bed. Depending
on the operating conditions and properties of solid phase various flow regimes can be observed
in this reactor.
2.13. Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste is 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 project. Treated water from the STP is estimated at 320 KLD.
The recycled water system shall utilize this treated water and serve for non-contact uses such as
flushing, horticulture, DG Cooling etc.
3. VEGETATION
3.1. Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local
ecosystem with its unique features, if any)
Okhla Bird Sanctuary is coming within the 8.78 km radius of the project site which may have an
indirect impact.
Local eco-system has the unique features of north western plains sub zone of upper gangetic
plain agro climatic zone. The climate of the area varies from dry sub humid to semi arid and soil
type is mainly alluvial. Numerous alluvial landforms such as marshes ox-bow lakes, meander-
cuts, peniplain and pedyplain are unique features of local ecosystem. The major tree found in the
study area involves Bahuinia variegata, Delonix regia etc. The area is very fertile and numerous
agricultural crops i.e. wheat and mustard are grown.

3.2. Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a
detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project)
The construction will not involve any extensive clearing or modification of vegetation. As the
land is a Government owned land by Delhi Development Authority no forest land is involved in
the construction of proposed project site.
3.3. What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important
site features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water
bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale?)
The following steps were taken to minimize the likely impacts on the surrounding environment.
• The Green Belt is proposed for clean, healthy and beautiful green environment for the
people to live in and work in.
• Within the proposed project site green belt to be developed by plantation of various
species of plants, shrubs to create a clean, healthy and aesthetic environment that
provides a visual retreat and relaxation to the occupants of the project. A combination of
evergreen trees and ornamental flowering trees and shrubs recommended by CPCB.
• The plantation arrangement would be based on optimal use of available land and
quantum of irrigation water and treated waste water.
• The capability of plants to act as a sink for air contaminants has been addressed by a
number of reviews. Various studies indicate that the surface of vegetation provides a
major filtration and reaction surface to the atmosphere for removing pollutants from the
atmosphere. Therefore, the green belt is essential feature of any developmental project
because it acts as a pollution cleaning region, improvement of the aesthetic value of the
project and a noise buffer.

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 proposed site is an open land when the construction begins and devoid of forestation so in
the existing conditions, this place was not the habitat for any wild fauna. There will not be any
type of displacement or any other effect on the local fauna due to proposed project activities.
4.2. Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.
The following impacts to be observed after completion of the project.
• After green belt development, the planted trees and shrubs will provide shelters and shed
especially to the birds and other domesticated animals and human being.
• Within the proposed project site, proper landscaping has been planned to provide a clean,
healthy, and beautiful green environment for the people to live and work in.
• The common native variety of trees and ornamental flowering species will be planted in
the green space.
• The vibration raised during construction will affect the movement of birds during day
time.
• The monitoring to be done for regular checkup of the pollution raised by construction
activities. That should not above the prescribed limit as per CPCB norms.
4.3. Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse impacts on
fauna.
These measures are not applicable for this project.
5. AIR ENVIRONMENT
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
constructions)
Increased traffic generation due to proposed project is not going to cause significant increase in
atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in island formation.
Background Air Quality:
The Air monitoring analysis report given below of the proposed project site and the background
air quality results are provided in the Table-10.

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.
Construction Phase:
During construction phase there is increased generation of dust and smoke from the background
levels. There is no activity associated with generation of odorous fumes and any hazardous gases
during construction phase.
The main sources of dust generation are land clearing, drilling, ground excavation, cut and fill
operations (i.e., earth moving), and construction of a particular facility. A large portion of the
dust emissions results from equipment traffic over temporary roads at the construction site.
Measures taken during Transport and Handling of Materials during Construction
The transport and handling of materials during construction has potential impacts on air quality
in the vicinity. Thus the following mitigation measures are being adopted to minimize the
impacts.

Air Emissions
• Dust Suppression: The most cost-effective dust suppressant applied to mitigate airborne
dust is water, because of its efficiency as well as ready availability on the construction site.
Water shall be applied using handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Water spray
at the work site also effectively suppresses dust generated. Results have proven that for about
80% of such active area(s), the water spray suppresses airborne dust by about >90%.

Use mechanical road sweepers during dry
weather, to, limit visible dust emissions.
Restrict vehicle speeds through
signage/staff training.
Use of covered conveyors to transport
material around the site.
• Emission Control for Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Construction equipment and
heavy transport vehicles meet emission standards like Bharat Stage - IV requirements for
vehicles. The operation and maintenance of all vehicles, equipments deployed on s ite by

different contractors are being regulated and effectively monitored. The Pollution under
Control (PUC) certification is being ensured for proper O&M of vehicles.
• Improved Maintenance: Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved
through regular equipment and vehicle maintenance, all site contractors have been asked to
take necessary steps for proper maintenance of vehicle and equipments. A monetary
incentive/ disincentive provision encourages contractors to comply with regular maintenance
requirements. The fuel used in the equipments, and vehicles is of good quality with low
“Sulphur” percentage by following the norms prevailing in project area.
• Reduction of On-site Construction Time: The heavy construction activities are being
confined to the daytime to avoid higher impacts during the nighttime. During daytime, there
is higher atmospheric dilution. Rapid on-site construction reduces the duration of traffic
interference and therefore, reduces emissions from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of
various moulded structural components, obtaining proper cut size of stone, pre-fabricated
concrete slabs, etc. also enhance the quality of work environment at the construction site
because other factors such as traffic congestion and emissions are then not relevant.
• Barrier around the Site: Besides the project site will be enclosed by about 2.5 m high
temporary barrier during the whole construction period so that the spread of dust to the
neighborhood shall be restricted.
Operation Phase:
The land use of the site will be designed to have open areas covered with either soft or hard
landscape and paved areas (roads and pedestrian walkways). This will mitigate dust emissions in
any meteorological conditions.
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 & exit to the project site.
No, the proposed project will not create shortage of parking space for the vehicle. 635 ECS is
provided in the basement and on surface.
5.4. Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks, pedestrian
pathways, footpaths etc., with areas under each category.
Internal road width of 6 meters is proposed for internal traffic management.

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.
Sources of traffic noise & vibrations in construction phase:
Construction vehicles (Majorly Trucks & JCBs, Road rollers etc.)
The trucks carrying materials such as concrete bags, construction debris etc. will be serviced
regularly and there will be speed limit for all the vehicles moving within the project site. Proper
maintenance of the internal roads will be carried out, encourage vehicle owners to not to blow
horns. The movements of vehicles have been restricted to day time so as to reduce the
disturbances in nearby areas of project site during night.
Sources of traffic noise in operation phase:
Light motor vehicles & 2-wheelers. There will be negligible effect of vibration from movement
of light vehicles and 2 wheelers. To mitigate the noise effects vehicle owners will be encouraged
for regular checks of their vehicles.
Moreover the effect of noise will be further minimized by plantation on t he sides of internal
roads, on the open spaces inside and around the periphery of whole project site.
5.6. What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels & vibration in &
ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.
In case of power failure, 3 DG sets of total capacity of 3030 kVA (3 x 1010) will be provided as
power back-up for the essential load.
The DG sets will be of water- cooled.
Calculation of DG Stack Height:
Stack Height for D.G. set capacity more than 1000 KVA:
H=14*Q0.3
------- (As per CPCB norms for D.G. sets commissioned after 1.7.2003)
Where,
H= Maximum Stack Height in Meter (m)
Q= Total SO2 emissions from D.G. sets in kg/hour

Sulphur content in HSD =0.25%
Density of HSD= 0.85 kg/liter
D.G. Set combined Capacity = 3,030 KVA
Fuel Consumption for D.G sets capacity of 3030 KVA = 460 lit/hour
D.G. Set of combined Capacity = 4500 KVA (2x 2000+1x 500)
Density of HSD= 0.85 kg/liter
Emission of Sulphur = 1.15 Lit/hour * 0.85 Kg/Lit * (0.25/100) =1.995Kg/hour
Applying,
H= 14*Q0.3
= 16.41 ~ 17 m
We suggest 6 meter above the max. height of the building.
Impact of D.G. sets on noise & vibration and mitigation measures to be adopted in
construction and operational phase:
D.G. sets if not enclosed in acoustic enclosures will contribute to significant increase in noise
levels at the project site.
However the D.G. sets used during construction and operation phase will be enclosed in an
acoustic enclosure to reduce the noise. The DG sets foundation will comprise of heavy weight
inertia concrete block. No vibration impacts are expected from the DG sets.
The D.G. sets will be checked for noise every 6 months.
The noise level of DG sets will be maximum 75dB (A) (at 1.0 m distance) & the insertion loss
will be maintained at minimum 25 db as per the prescribed compliance standards of the MoEF
{Noise pollution (regulation & control) (Amendment) rule 2010}.

Impact of D.G. sets on ambient air quality and mitigation measures to be adopted:
The D.G. Set emission consist of following pollutants
1. Hydrocarbon+ NOx
2. Carbon Monoxide (CO)
3. Particulate Matter (PM)
4. Smoke
If unchecked the emissions from D.G sets will increase the concentration of above mentioned
pollutants in the atmosphere. To mitigate the polluting effects of D.G. sets following mitigation
measures will be taken,
A. Use of High Speed Diesel as a fuel to run D.G. sets
B. Provision of stack with height as prescribed by Central Pollution Control Board.
C. Emission test of D.G. stacks every 6 months to check the concentration of pollutants.
6. AESTHETICS
6.1. Will the proposed constructions in any way result in the obstruction of a view, scenic
amenity or landscapes? Are these considerations taken into account by the proponents?
The site lies in well planned area designated for “cultural” purposes as per the master plan of
Delhi. Thus, no obstruction of view or scenic beauty or landscape is anticipated. Furthermore,
the construction is being done in such a way that the organized open spaces and landscaped areas
will render the plot aesthetically appealing.
6.2. Will there be any adverse impacts from new constructions on the existing structures? What
are the considerations taken into account?
There will not be any adverse impacts from new constructions on the existing structures as the
proposed development shall be carried out as per the defined Delhi building by-laws. All
precautions are being taken to mitigate the impact due to water air and noise pollution during
construction the construction phase and same will be followed during the operation phase.
6.3. Whether there are any local considerations of urban form & urban design influencing the
design criteria? They may be explicitly spelt out.
There is no local consideration of urban form and urban design criteria. The proposed project
will be constructed within the designated site as per the defined building bye laws of Delhi.
6.4. Are there any anthropological or archaeological sites or artifact nearby? State if any other
significant features in the vicinity of the proposed site have been considered.

Since, all the activities whether during the construction or operation stage, will be carried out in
the project premises hence no impact on any type of archeological monuments are envisaged.
7. SOCIO-ECONOMIC ASPECTS
7.1. Will the proposal result in any changes to the demographic structure of local population?
Provide the details.
Establishment of any project plotted development leads to socio-economic changes. Influx of
population leads to change in social & economic status of the community. During construction
period local people will be engaged and hence there will be demand of 700 w orkers (peak
labour), till construction complete. The different features/facility mentioned above requires
skilled personnel to operate the individual facility. Also there shall be requirement of domestic
workers and maids. So there shall be indirect increment in employment opportunities and
additional income.

7.3. Will the project cause adverse effects on local communities, disturbance to sacred sites or
other cultural values? What are the safeguards proposed?
No, the proposed development will not have adverse effects on local communities. On the
contrary, it is expected that there will be major positive impacts due to development of the
proposed project. Positive impacts would include improvement in economic condition of society
indirectly. Respect to the local sacred sites and other cultural phenomena will be the integral part
of the proposed project.

 These construction materials will be procured from the reputed suppliers/manufacturers and
thus it is expected that they are produced with energy efficient processes. Most of the quality
grade building material production facilities and industries now use energy efficient
processes.
 All the items to be used in the proposed project will be as per the National Building Code
specification. If the building materials with high-embodied energy are locally available, it
will be used in construction.
8.2. Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in pollution, noise &
public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?
