proposed integrated complex for delhi judicial academy

Rapid Environmental Impact Assessment (REIA) Study for Proposed Integrated Complex for Delhi Judicial Academy,
National Law School, and National Institute for Mediation & Conciliation at Dwarka, New Delhi
The proposed project site is designated for the intended purpose and the necessary change in
the land use of the plot area measuring 23,180 sq. meters (5.72 acres) has already been effected by
converting it to land use for residential use from land use for Government use in MPD-2001.
The proposed project site is a vacant land and does not involve activity of any type. It is anticipated
that the construction activities of the proposed project would not have an adverse effect on the land
use activities in the project area, and will not be encroached during the construction of the project.
Moreover, local land use planning will control the type, density and location of development in the
future. Hence, the proposed new construction could be considered to comply with the present
zoning classification of neighborhood business.
Development of green belt and other landscape on the proposed site would enhance the visual
aesthetics of the area.
5.5.2 Impacts on Soil
The site clearing and preparation activities will involve removal of only scanty vegetation existing
on the proposed plant site. The project site is primarily dominated by undergrowth and unwanted
bushes. As the topography in and around the site is mostly plain with no slope, the digging of the
site before the start of the construction work for the foundation work would not result any
significant effect on soil erosion and silt run off, even during the heavy rains. The project requires
extensive work on the excavation and removal of soil and hence will temporarily affect soil
structure and stability localized.
The project proponent will adopt good construction practices that will ensure the environmental
impacts of waste effluents generated on-site during construction will be minimized.
5.5.3 Construction Wastes
The generation of waste material is inevitable during the construction phase of the development.
Waste is generated at different stages of construction process. Waste during construction activity
relates to excessive cement mix or concrete left after work is over, rejection caused due to change
in design or wrong workmanship etc. Estimated waste generation during construction is 40 to 60 kg
