7 Environmental baseline monitoring has not been carried out satisfactorily 8 Please justify only 3 air quality monitoring station in 100 km stretch of highways 9 Air quality and noise quality are already in poor conditions. At time of construction quality would be worsen. What special care would be taken to preserve / improve air and noise quality during construction? Environmental baseline monitoring is carried out satisfactorily by the expert. The traffic characteristics are more or less homogenous throughout the entire stretch- three locations were chosen to represent the potential worst scenarios as well as well as normal scenarios, more or less equidistant from each other- two are busy junctions, and third is a comparatively less polluted area All vehicles for air quality delivering materials to the site shall be covered to avoid spillage of materials. Every precaution to reduce the level of dust emission for the hot mix plant up to the satisfaction. All existing highways and roads works shall be kept clean and clear of all dust/mud. If required the Engineer, the road surfaces shall be hosed or watered using necessary equipment. Plants, machinery and equipment shall be so handled (including dismantling) so as to minimize generation dust. The hot mix plant be sited at least 500 m from the nearest habitation, shall be fitted with dust extraction units in order. The discharge standards promulgated under the Environment Protection Act, 1986 shall be strictly adhered to. The for noise quality plants and equipment used in construction (including the aggregate crushing plant) shall strictly conform to the GOI noise standards. Maintenance of vehicles shall be regular and proper. In construction sites within 150 m of the nearest habitation and 500 m of protected and reserved forests. Workers

10 What is expected completion time of six lane highway project? 11 What would be impact on surrounding agriculture land during construction phase on both side of road? 12 Whether topsoil analysis before and after construction is proposed to assess impact on soil? 13 Please given detail list of contractors who are responsible for implementation of Environment Management Plan. 14 Whether local people will get priority in contract employment during construction? 15 Please give TOR of the of the Project given by MoEF. in vicinity of strong noise and workers working with or in crushing, compaction, or concrete mixing operations shall be provided with protective clothing and appliances. The expected completion time period of six lanes highway project is 36 months. Loss of agricultural land is the only significant impact -It shall be compensated as per norms. Environmental management measures elaborated under various headings will ensure that the impacts due to water & soil pollution is minimum on the nearby land. No, top soil is going to be utilized for construction but the same will be utilized in median & slope. Contractor is yet to be finalized. Yes TOR given by MoEF is attached herewith.
