Description of Environment

The area around the proposed POL Terminal has been surveyed for physical features and
existing environmental scenario. The field survey and baseline monitoring has been done from
the period of March to May 2017.

Air Environment:
The ambient air quality is determined at 9 locations. The PM10 varied from 39 to 67 µg/m3, PM2.5
varied from 18 to 33 µg/m3, SO2 varied from 11 to 20 µg/m3, NOx varied from 27 to 33 µg/m3.
Other parameters like VOCs, Heavy metals, Benzene etc. were found Below Detectable Limit
(BDL). All values are within prescribed NAAQS 2009.
Noise Environment:
Noise can be defined as an unwanted sound. A total of 10 locations were identified for ambient
noise monitoring in the study area. The daytime varied from 49.5 dB (A) Leq to 53.3 dB (A) Leq
and night time noise varied of 37.9 dB (A) Leq to 44.6 dB (A) Leq. Both daytime noise and night
time noise was within the limit.
Water Environment:
In order to establish the baseline water quality, 3 ground water and 4 surface water samples were
collected and analyzed in the study area. The analysis result for ground water samples were
within drinking water limit as per IS 10500: 2012. Details of analysis result are given in the EIA
report.
Soil Quality:
Soil samples were collected from 6 locations in the study area and analyzed for physico-chemical
characteristics. Soil quality was found to be normal. Details of analysis result are given in the EIA
report.
Land Use/Land Cover of the Study Area:
Land use pattern of the study area covering 10 km radius includes water bodies, agricultural
land, Fallow land, Barren Land, Open Land and Built-up Land. Details of land use /land cover
classification are given in the EIA report.
Biological Environment:
The ecological study of the area has been conducted within 10 km radius of the project site in
order to understand the existing status of flora and fauna to generate baseline information.
Flora: 82 plant species from 42 genera of 15 families were identified.
Fauna: 13 species of mammals, 4 species of Ambhibians, 11 species of Reptiles, 14 species of
Butterflies, 6 species of Dragonflies and Damselflies were identified.
Avifauna: 56 spieces were identified within the Study Area.

Socio-economic Environment:
Analysis of the demographical statistics, based on Primary Census Abstract, 2011 & field survey
reveals that the study area has a total population of 1,41,039 in the study area. Average
scheduled castes constitute about 13.4% of the total population of villages in the study area.
Scheduled tribes constitute about 1.7% of the total population of villages in the study area.
Average literacy rate of the study area in 2011 was 71.34% to total population. Villages in the
study area have fairly good infrastructure facilities.

Anticipated Environment Impacts and Environment Management Plan

Impact on Air Environment:

No emission is envisaged during the receipt, storage & handling of petroleum products. There
would be no fugitive emission during unloading and hence, no impact is envisaged. The air
environment may have minimal impact due to truck movement for receipt and dispatch.
Impact on Noise Environment:
The project site is likely to have increased noise level up to 80-90 dB(A) due to the construction
activity but it is likely to be insignificant, reversible and localized in nature and mainly confined
to the day hours. As the proposed Terminal shall be operated in closed circuit, it is envisaged that
noise environment would remain unaffected during operation of the proposed facilities.
Impact on Water Environment:
Water requirement will meet from local/outside agencies. The overall impact on water
environment due to construction of proposed project is likely to be temporary, short term and
insignificant. Total water requirement for the proposed project during operation phase will be
around 540 KL/Month.
Impact on Land Environment:
The project area is vacant land, there are no settlements and hence the question of rehabilitation
and resettlement does not arise. As the complete system shall be closed loop, no impact is
envisaged on the topography during operation phase.
Impact on Biological Environment:
The probability and consequences of significant ecological impacts occurring as a result of the
operation of the POL Terminal are considered to be almost negligible. The risk of any leakage is
almost negligible owing to stringent leak prevention technologies.
Municipal solid waste will be disposed through local bodies. Spent lube oil from D.G. set will
be sold to MPCB Authorized recyclers. Hence no impact on flora and fauna is envisaged.
Moreover there are no reserve forest and protected areas within 10 km radius. Greenbelt will be
developed which will serve as ecosystem. There will be no effluent discharge in the water body.
Thus there is no impact on the aquatic biota present in vicinity of proposed project.
Impact on Socio-economic Environment:
The construction of the proposed project is expected to provide temporary indirect employment
to a good number of skilled and unskilled workers. The project will contribute to the socio-
economic development of the area at the local level in turn reducing migration for employment.
Hence the proposed project will have positive impact on the socio-economic environment.
Environmental Monitoring Programme

It is imperative that BPCL should engage domain expert to collect sample data at prescribed
intervals as suggested by PCB guidelines to assess the environmental health in the post period. A
post study monitoring programme is important as it provides useful information on the following
aspects.

 It helps to verify the predictions on environmental impacts presented in this study.

 It helps to indicate warnings of the development of any alarming environmental situations,
and thus, provides opportunities for adopting appropriate control measures in advance.

Additional Studies

Hazard Identification and Consequence Assessment

Quantitative Risk Study has been done to determine the potential risks of major disasters having
damage potential to life and property and provide a scientific basis using PHAST RISK (Version
6.7) software developed by DNV GL. Disaster Management Plan is prepared for identification of
various hazards addressed qualitatively and included in onsite- emergency plan. Details of risk
assessment are given in the EIA report.
Hazards we identified for release of MS, HSD, SKO, Bio-Diesel and Ethanol for scenarios of
catastrophic rupture of storage tank at proposed site. Consequence analysis of all possible
containment scenarios was carried out. No domino effect envisaged as all tanks are
adequately spaced and heat or pressure wave is limited to dyke area.

Project Benefits

 The project will improve supply of the High Speed Diesel (HSD), Motor Spirit (MS), and
Superior Kerosene Oil (SKO) in Pune region and overall benefit the state of Maharashtra
which is vital for economic growth as well as improving the quality of life.
 The project shall provide indirect employment to potential under unskilled, semi-skilled and
skilled categories. The employment potential shall increase with the start of construction
activities, reach a peak during construction phase and then reduce with completion of
construction activities. During operation phase also there will be indirect employment
opportunities, mainly in service sector, although its magnitude will be much less.
 The employment opportunities exist mainly with the indirect employment like contractors
and sub-contractors. These agencies will be persuaded to provide the jobs to local persons on
a preferential basis wherever feasible.

Capital Investment

The expected cost of the proposed project will be around Rs. 267 Crores. The cost breakup is as
provided in Table 4.
