5.3 DETAILED SITE INVESTIGATION<br />

5.3.1 Site Investigation<br />

The detailed site <strong>in</strong>vestigations were carried out as per requirement <strong>of</strong> CPCB and<br />

MOEF with respect to the relevant parameters for all the three sites mentioned<br />

above.<br />

Primary Source data<br />

<strong>Pre</strong>lim<strong>in</strong>ary field visits were carried out to assess the suitability <strong>of</strong> sites for detailed<br />

<strong>in</strong>vestigation. Subsequently detailed <strong>in</strong>vestigation <strong>of</strong> sites were carried out as follows:<br />

• Landuse Plan: Landuse/Landcover maps with<strong>in</strong> 5-Km radius from the proposed<br />

sites were prepared us<strong>in</strong>g remote sens<strong>in</strong>g method based on satellite data <strong>of</strong> IRS<br />

- ID LISS III and confirmed with ground truth<strong>in</strong>g.<br />

• Geotechnical <strong>in</strong>vestigation: At each site, to a depth <strong>of</strong> 20m below the ground<br />

surface 100 - 150 mm diameter bore hole was drilled us<strong>in</strong>g shell and auger<br />

method. Undisturbed/disturbed soil samples were collected and analysed for<br />

follow<strong>in</strong>g: (i) soil type and stratification; (ii) permeability <strong>of</strong> each strata, (iii)<br />

strength and compressibility parameters (optional)-, (iv) ground water level and<br />

quality and (v) depth to bedrock.<br />

• Ambient air monitor<strong>in</strong>g/Noise monitor<strong>in</strong>g: Ambient air monitor<strong>in</strong>g (SPM, SOx,<br />

NOx level) was carried out at the proposed sites dur<strong>in</strong>g February - March, 2002.<br />

Noise levels dur<strong>in</strong>g day and night at the site were also monitored.<br />
