The District is spread out in an area of 7469 sq.km. The average annual rainfall in the plan is around 700 mm. This District has two Revenue Division, Coimbatore and Pollachi The District comprises of six taluks namely Coimbatore North, Coimbatore South, Pollachi, Valparai, Mettupalayam and Sulur. The Coimbatore City comes under Corporation administration. Coimbatore is the second largest city in Tamil Nadu. The city is located at 411 meters above mean sea level. Average rainfall is about 612.2 Millimeters. The city is situated on the banks of the River Noyyal. It has population of more than 16 lakhs. The city is also known as Manchester of South India. The city is famous for textile spinning mills, wet grinders, pumps and motors industry sector. To cater the needs of above and to fabricate machineries for the factories, foundry and electroplating sector establishments are emerging, Kurichi Industrial cluster is located at a distance of 7 km from Coimbatore city. This cluster has two industrial estates developed by SIDCO & private to an extent of 180- acres, Location In Coimbatore District, Kurichi is located at 10°55’11” N latitude and 76°57'35"E longitude comprising of Industrial Cluster. This Industrial cluster is located at distance of 7 km from Coimbatore Corporation. In Kurichi two Industrial estates exist which are developed by SIDCO and Private. Adjoining to this estate Tamilnadu Housing Board has constructed Housing units. This Industrial cluster area spreads over an area of about 180 acres. This cluster comes under the administrative jurisdiction of Kurichi Municipality. This industrial cluster is located on the NH from Coimbatore to Pollachi. The map showing the location of SIDCO industrial cluster in the Coimbatore district map is given in Figure — 1.1.IN INDIA PAKISTAN BAY OF BENGAL ARABIAN SEA go ° TAMILNADU14 1.3 Digitized Map with Demarcation of Geographical Boundaries and Impact Zones The CEPI area is surrounded by Kurichi Housing unit Phase-1 & 2 in west and SW direction, scattered engineering industries, commercial establishments and residential houses in north direction, residential houses of Ganeshapuram in east direction, scattered industries, educational institutions and software park in south direction. The digitized map showing the boundaries of the CEPI area is shown in Figure — 1.2. The map showing the impact zone of 2.0 km radius around the CEPI area is shown in Figure ~ 1.3, CEPI Score (Air, Water, Land and Total) Central Pollution Control Board has developed a Comprehensive Environmental Pollution Index (CEPI) based on pollution potential of the industries located in industrial estates in our country. As an outcome of this study Kurichi Industrial Cluster in Coimbatore district has been identified as one of critically polluted area with CEPI score of 72.38. Ministry of Environment and Forest, Govt. of India wide memorandum dated 13.1.2010 has declared Industrial Cluster of Kurichi, Coimbatore district as critically polluted area.

But there is no courts exist in the impact zone of 2.0 m radius, Eco-geological features Major Water Bodies (River, Lakes, Ponds, etc) There is no water body exist within the CEPI area as well as impact zone of 2 km radius from the center of the cluster. The nearest river is Noyyal River located at 3.0 KM in North direction and nearest water body is Kurichi Lake located at 2.5 KM in NW direction from the Industrial Estate. Ecological parks, sanctuaries or any eco sensitive zones There is no ecological park, sanctuaries or any eco sensitive zones exists within the CEPI area or 2 KM impact zone. The flora existing within the impact zone is man made plants located around industries and domestic area. The fauna presents with in the impact zone of 2 KM are very few numbers of domestic animals which are also maintained by the residents in the impact zone of 2.0 KM. There is no record for presence of any endangered plants or animals within the impact zone. Buildings or monuments of Historical / archaeological / religious importance The SIDCO industrial cluster and its buffer zone of 2.0 KM radius did not accommodate any buildings or monument of historical, archaeological importance.

WATER ENVIRONMENT Present status of water environment In Kurchi Industrial cluster there are no remarkable water bodies. Noyyal River is running on the upstream side of the cluster at a distance of about 3 KM. Only a water tank named Kurichi Tank is located at a distance of about 2.5 KM on the upstream side of the SIDCO Industrial Cluster. Hence water samples are collected from Borewell and Open well in the cluster area The samples are analyzed for the following parameters like Conductivity, pH, TSS, TDS, Oil and grease, BOD, COD, Total Residual Chlorine, Ammoniacal Nitrogen, Total Keldahl Nitrogen, Free Ammonia, Nitrate, Sulphide, Fluoride, Cyanide, Phenolic compounds, Arsenic, Boron, Manganese, Iron Total, Total Chromium, Copper, Zine, Lead, Cadmium, Nickel, Phosphate, Mercury, SAR, Hexa valent ChromiumCONSOLIDATED STATEMENT OF ROA OF WATER SAMPLE COLLECTED FROM KURICHI INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER, COIMBATORE DISTRICT OPEN WELL WATER INSIDE M/s.INDOSHELL MOULD LTD., UNIT-II a Parameters 14.12.09 | 29.06.10 | 22.07.10 1 __| Conductivity (micromhos/em) 3300 2680 2600 2 [pH 7 718 777 3_ [TSS 2 28 4 4_|Oiland Grease <1 a q S| S| i nad (60-8004 AIKWX) TWWVUDOUd DNTIOLINON ALIIV20 IV TYNOLLYN HAGNA NGWNHINWL NI ALITYI0 WIV 40 SALYLS rN = 23TABLE ~ 3.3 SUMMARY OF NAAQM RESULTS (APRIL 2009 - JULY 2010) Parameter / Soz Nox RSPM ‘SPM Month [Max | Min | Aver | Max | Min | Aver| Max | Min | Aver | Max | Min | Aver April 09 208 | 43 | 86 | 423| 146 | 278 | 146.0 | 69.0| 988 | 279.0 | 168.0 | 217.6 May ‘09 19.1 | 468 | 82 | 264) 121| 17.1 | 105.0 | 77.0] 929 | 233.0 | 157.0 | 1903 dune'og | 290 | <40| 102 | 368 | 136 | 21.3 | 316.0 | 626 | 116.3 | 480.0 | 980 | 2322 July ‘09 135 | 42 | 62 | 627 | 139| 300 | 1123 | 77.3 | 101.9 | 227.0 | 126.0 | 167.2 August's | 147 | 43 | 62 | 318| 199 | 264) 980 | 51.0| 71.2 | 235.0 | 1090 | 166.4 September | 95 | [Reeve Industries | 20.06.2010) 1 recycled in the process.

To ascertain the Water Quality in the cluster area water samples collected on 22.07.2010 and at two locations. The parameters are analysed as per guidelines issued. Industrial cluster at Kuruchi and it's impact zone will have a maximum population of 76794 (Entire Kuruchi Village Population as per 2001 Census). There is no 17 category of industry, CETP, Common Treatment and disposal of Hazardous Waste facility in the cluster as well as it's impact zone. Total number of R54 Industries in this cluster is 45 only. The industries has taken steps to complete the action plan as already explained. Based on the above facts and figures CEPI was calculated and the score is 53.9. The calculation is given below: 13.2 CEPI CALCULATION FOR KURICHI INDUSTRIAL CLUSTER, COIMBATORE TAMILNADU) 1.
