Thebaseline environmental data generation was initiated in the month of May 2010. TheEIA Study covers baseline data generation, predictions and evaluation of impact onvarious environmental components and formulation of Environmental ManagementPlan and Disaster Management Plan.5.0 Baseline Environmental Scenario5.1 Land UseAs per the interpretation of Satellite imagery, the area under vegetation is 8.20%while settlement covers about 41.60% of the land area. 2.30% of the land is waterbody. It reflects that the area is predominantly urban and most of the land is occupiedby settlement. Agricultural is carried out in the eastern part of the study area in theflood plain area of Yamuna River.5.2 Demography and Socio-EconomicIt was observed that study area is predominantly urban in nature with a totalpopulation of about 23.98 lakh (with 96.3% urban population), as per census data of2001. The population of Delhi (91.6%) and Faridabad (7.9%) constitute majorpopulation of the study area. The percentages of male, female population and sex ratioas per the Census records of 2001 are are 55.53%, 44.47% and 1000 (Males): 800(females) respectively. The Schedule Caste (SC) population within the study area is17.32% of the total population while Schedule Tribe (ST) population is nil. The totalnumber of literates within the study area is 16.63 lakh, which is 69.3% of totalpopulation. The percentage of male and female literacy to the total literate populationis 60.6% and 39.4%, respectively. In the year 1991, the population of the study areawas 18.51 lakhs, which increased to 23.98 lakhs in the year 2001, showing an increaseof about 30% during the decade. The schedule caste population showed almostnegligible change from 1991 to 2001. There is no schedule tribe in the study area. Theliteracy rate of the study area has gone up by 3.77% during the last decade. The totalworkers in the study area, as per Census Data of 2001 are 8.25 lakhs (34.40%). Themarginal workers are those workers who are engaged in some work for a period lessthan six months during the reference year prior to the census survey. The marginalworkers of the study area are 0.5 lakh (2.06%). The non-workers include thoseengaged in unpaid household duties, students, retired persons, dependants, beggarsetc. The non-workers workers of the study area are 15.73 lakhs (65.59%).

Delhi has 111 sq. km of forestcover and 40 sq. km. of tree cover against the geographical area of 1483 sq. km,representing only 10.2% of total land area of the city. The green cover is notuniformly distributed in Delhi as some parts have considerable greenery than theothers. The New Delhi and South Districts are much greener compared to otherDistricts.The flora of Delhi comprises nearly 1,000 species of flowering plants belonging tosome 120 families. Sixty per cent of the species are either indigenous or naturalizedand the remaining introduced. More than 50 percent of the indigenous flora representsthe tropical species. Nearly eight percent is from tropical Africa less than 50 percentfrom the New World, and two per cent from the temperate region.As a consequence of urbanization, much of the naturally existing vegetation has beencleared over the years. The city level forests, the Ridge, the protected and reservedforests have surviving pockets of natural vegetation in Delhi. The other open spacesare an admixture of indigenous and exotic species project.Vegetation of Delhi is typical Northern Tropical Thorn Forest Type (Champion &Seth 1968). Among trees, species of Acacia such as A. nilotica, A. leucophloea, A.catechu, A. modesta, Butea monosperma (Dhak), Cassia fistula (Amaltas), Salvadorapersica. Good patches of Anogeissus latifolia and abundance of Prosopis juliflora areobserved.Among the city’s residential area, the ones in the area are amply dotted withtrees andshrubs. The area is covered by roadside plantations, private and public gardens aswell as plantations done by the institutions and housing colonies.Summary

Date: 14.12.2010Stage-III, Phase-I (1050 MW) Page No.: 105.9 Noise(A) Study Area-Outside the PlantThe ambient noise level was measured at ten locations in the study area and inside theplant in the post-monsoon season. The overall Leq value varied between 50.7 dB(A)to 60.9 dB(A) in all locations. Day time and night time Leq value varied between 47.4dB(A) to 58.2 dB(A) and 45.2dB(A) to 51.3 dB(A) respectively. The highest Leqvalue 60.9 dB(A) was recorded at Railway Colony due to vicinity of the train trafficand the lowest Leq value 50.7 dB(A) was recorded at Madanpur Khadar. The highestL day 58.2 dB(A) was recorded at Railway Colony and lowest value of L day 47.4 dB(A)at Madanpur Khadar. The highest value of L night 51.3 dB(A) was also recorded atRailway Colony and lowest 45.2 dB(A) at Jaitpur village. It is noted that the noiselevels were within the permissible limit of the National Ambient Air QualityStandards with respect to noise both during day time and night time at most of thelocations.(B) Inside the PlantThe Leq value varied between 70.3 dB (A) to 87.6 dB (A) at all the locations. HighestLeq was observed in Turbine Hall. The noise levels were within the permissible limitwith respect to Damage Risk Criteria for Hearing Loss Occupational Safety andHealth Administration (OSHA).6.0 Anticipated Environmental Impacts and Mitigation Measures6.1 Land UseAs no additional land is proposed to be acquired for plant there will be no directimpact on existing land use pattern due to the project.The land for the proposed site is flat. The site selected has some old redundant naturaldraft cooling towers and old residential quarters, which will be removed. There is noforestland in the vicinity of the proposed site. Since there is no possibility ofdestruction of agriculture fields, villages, reserved forests, sanctuaries etc, hence theimpacts due to proposed project will be negligible.6.2 Water EnvironmentThe water requirement for Stage-III of the project shall be 20 cusecs (2038.32 m 3 /hr).The water requirement for this stage of the project shall be drawn from 60 cusecsAgra canal which draws water from Yamuna River near Okhla Barrage. The totalconsumptive water requirement of the station including expansion modules shall bewithin the available water commitment of 70 cusecs.Govt. of Uttar Pradesh has already given in-principle commitment for makingavailable 70 cusecs of water for BTPS, Stage-I and Stage-II. The CW system shall beoperated at 4 cycles of concentration (COC).The oily wastes from fuel oil handling area and main plant area shall be treated usingoil water separator and the treated water shall be led to the tube settler provided forservice wastewater for further treatment and reuse in service water system.Summary

Date: 14.12.2010Stage-III, Phase-I (1050 MW) Page No.: 11The clarified water shall be used as make-up for the re-circulating type CW system. ACW pump house comprising of six (6) no. of CW pumps each of 13000 m 3 /hr shall beprovided. The clarified water shall be supplied from the Water Pre-Treatment plant tothe cold channel of CW system which will enter the CW pump house through trashracks at low velocity to filter out debris.The sewage from plant and township shall be led to sewage treatment plant. It isprovided with appropriate biological treatment system to control Bio-chemicalOxygen Demand (BOD) and suspended solids. The treated effluent conforming toprescribed standards shall be either utilized for plantation purposes or discharged inAgra Canal through natural water course.6.3 Demography and Socio-EconomicDuring the construction period, there will be a huge requirement of workers thusproviding opportunities for employment. The proposed project will provideemployment to local residents. Besides this, local building material industries willsupply cement, sand, stone and other materials. The construction of project willincrease the movement of workers and people in the area, providing a greaterexchange of technology and business opportunities. Generation of additionaleconomic activity is expected to create employment opportunities for the localpopulation during operation phase.6.4 Ambient Air QualityThe maximum predicted incremental ground level concentrations (glc’s) for NOx dueto operation of the project is 18.23 µg/m 3 respectively and this is predicted to occur inthe East at distance of about 0.9 Km. The maximum resultant glc’s for NO x afterimplementation of the project (53.13 µg/m 3 respectively) is estimated to be within theNAAQS.NOx emission from the units shall be controlled by employing Dry Low NOx (DLN)combustion technology while firing RLNG/ Natural gas and steam/water injectionwhile firing liquid fuel. The NOx emissions shall be controlled within the applicableemission standards, stipulated vide EPA Notification, GSR 7 dated 22.12.1998.Mitigation measures for control of air pollution from Badarpur CCPP, Stage-III, Phase-Iinclude the following:• Combustion Control for NOx• Three nos of Stacks each of 70.0 m height for wider dispersion of the pollutants• Green belt around project and afforestation within the project.• Water sprinkling during the construction to control fugitive emission6.5 SoilNatural gas, a clean fuel, is used for proposed CCPP. During operation of theproposed CCPP, the soils within the deposition zone of pollutants may undergophysico-chemical changes due to washout of gases (NOx) during the rains. Theimpacts on soil due to gaseous emissions (NOx) from operation of Badarpur CCPP,Stage-III are likely to be negligible.Summary

Date: 14.12.2010Stage-III, Phase-I (1050 MW) Page No.: 126.6 NoiseThe project is expected to have large scale construction activities, mostly mechanized,related to creation of large scale surface water reservoirs (raw water storage, treatedeffluent storage, Central Monitoring basin etc.), foundations, RCC structures, roadconstruction etc.The noise generation during such large-scale construction activities would beconsiderable. The impacts during construction phase are temporary and would bemarginal on the surrounding communities/villages.During normal operation phase, there are two types of noise generation sources:Stationary sources: Gas Turbine & Steam Turbine Generators, Air Intake and ExhaustGas plenum, Boiler feed pumps, other rotating equipment like, major and largepumps, air compressor, D.G. sets, ventilation fans, exhaust from steam line safetyvalves etc.Mobile sources vehicular traffic for staff mobilization, material transport, liquid fueltransport to project site etc.SourcesTypical Noise SourcesGas Turbine (GT) 85Steam Turbine (ST) 85Boiler Feed Pump (BFP) 85Heat Recovery Steam Generator(HRSG) 85DG sets (used for emergencypower supply)Effective Noise Level dB(A)with enclosure at 1 m distance75 (without enclosure)In a gas based power plant, moderate noise will be generated from gas turbines, steamturbines, cooling towers, transformers, compressors, pumps etc. The noise emissionstandards, for these units are prescribed in the comprehensive Industry Document andNational Environmental Standards for Gas based Thermal Power Plants published byCentral Pollution Control Board (CPCB), September 1996. The prescribed limits areas follows:90 dB(A) at 1 m from the turbine 60 dB(A) at 120 m from the turbineHowever, enclosures of GT & ST shall be designed for noise attenuation to reducenoise level to 85 dB(A) at 1 meter distance. The ambient noise level at 120 metersfrom any part of the plant (far field) inclusive of GT/HRSG/ST module shall notexceed 60 dB (A).The impact assessment due to above-mentioned noise sources has been performedusing DHAWANI noise model. The result of the modeling indicates that themaximum incremental noise at a distance of 1 m is 85 dB(A) due to aforesaidsources. However, the incremental noise level is reduced to 58 dB(A) at a distance ofabout 120 m from the source location. Thus, it can be concluded that the resultantnoise level is well within the prescribed limit (8 hourly exposure) of 85 dB(A) asprescribed by CPCB.Summary

Date: 14.12.2010Stage-III, Phase-I (1050 MW) Page No.: 13Adequate protective measures in the form of ear muffs/ear plugs to the workersworking in high noise areas need to be provided. In addition reduction in noise levelsin the high noise machinery areas shall be achieved by adoption of suitable preventivemeasures such as use of enclosures with suitable absorption material, etc. Further, inaddition to the in-plant noise control measures, all the open areas within the plantpremises and all along the plant boundary will be provided with adequate green belt todiffuse the noise.6.7 Ecological EnvironmentTerrestrial EcologyOxides of Nitrogen is the major air pollutant of a gas based power plant. The impacton the terrestrial ecosystem due to operation of a CCPP may occur from depositionand absorption of air pollutant on flora and soil surfaces.However, the impact of Badarpur CCPP, Stage-III, Phase-I is envisaged to benegligible, as incremental ground level concentration of NOx due to emissions fromBadarpur CCPP, Stage-III, Phase-I is predicted to be 18.23 µg/m 3 only. This is wellwithin the National Ambient Air Quality Standards. Since most of the tree speciesoccurring in the area are deciduous, they have high Air Pollution Tolerance Index(APTI), and therefore impact of NOx will not be significant.Aquatic EcologyA recirculating condenser cooling water system with induced draft cooling towers hasbeen proposed for the plant. The water circulation system will draw water from theAgra Canal, fish may tend to get entrapped and impinged in the intake system.Smaller organisms as phytoplanktons, zooplanktons are entrainable in the coolingsystem. The entrained organisms would be subjected to a combination of physicochemicaland mechanical stresses, leading to their destruction.The quantity of treated effluents from Badarpur CCPP, Stage-III (industrial effluents:450 m 3 /hr), conforming to regulatory standards shall be discharged into natural drainsleading to Agra Canal in the down stream. However, as the quantity is negligiblysmall as compared to flow of Agra Canal in the lean season and the effluents shall befully treated, the water quality of the Agra Canal is not likely to change significantly.Therefore, no tangible impact on the aquatic eco-system of Agra Canal is expected.7.0 Green Belt Development PlanThe green belt will be provided around the proposed facilities to cover all the vacantareas. Vacant areas within the facilities will be covered with lawns and gardens.Although availability of land within the premises is limited, extreme care shall betaken to utilize all the available areas for afforestation. The utility of the green beltpredominantly lies in its capacity to attenuate the effect of gases due to fugitiveemissions and spillage.BTPS is already carrying out plantation activities in the plant, township area and onash dyke. The details of afforestation and plantation activities in BTPS are givenbelow:Summary
