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
6. ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT STATEMENT
Environmental impact checklists combine the assessment of individual impacts with a
checklist of probable impacts for a project. The following five environmental components
have been considered for the purpose of assessment and evaluation of the environmental
impact due to the proposed integrated complex.
• Air Environment
• Noise Environment
• Water Environment
• Land Environment
• Socio Economic Environment
6.1 Air Environment
Land development activities may lead to the generation of dust. Foundation work would
require pile driving using heavy machinery, which may produce gaseous pollutants.
Construction work will involve excavation and concreting etc. All these activities may
give rise to dust, resulting in air pollution. The structural work will involve steelwork,
concrete work, masonry work etc. and construction equipment like concrete mixers,
hoists, and welding sets etc. will be used. These activities at times produce air
contaminants.
The dust generated during the activities will be of low magnitude and will be settable in
nature. The quantum of any gaseous pollution is insignificant. The impact due to such
emissions is expected to be confined within the close vicinity of the proposed
construction site. The impact will, however, be marginal, reversible and short term.
During the operation of the complex no significant sources of gaseous pollution are
expected. Only at the time of power cut, DG sets will be operated with required height of
