1.3 What are the likely impacts of the proposed activity on the existing facilities adjacent to the
proposed site? (Such as open spaces, community facilities, details of the existing land use,
disturbance to the local ecology).

The proposed development shall be carried out as per the Delhi building by-laws and as per
planned land use, hence no negative impact is envisaged due to proposed development. Further,
the construction as well as operation stage of the project will generate direct and indirect
employment opportunities for a large section of society. The employment will have positive
impact thereby improving the quality of life.

As the project site for construction consists of herbs and shrubs it will require clearance of land
for construction purposes. The green area will be developed as shelter belt, along with avenue
plantation on both sides of road, lawns area including herbs and shrubs. The indigenous/local
plants will be planted, which will increase the aesthetic value of the area. Hence, there will be no
disturbance to the local ecology of the area.

1.4 Will there be any significant land disturbance resulting in erosion, subsidence &
instability? (Details of soil type, slope analysis, vulnerability to subsidence, seismicity etc
may be given).
Delhi geography divides the state into three parts- the Delhi ridge, the Yamuna flood plain and
the plains. The Yamuna river plains are very fertile as they are flooded by the river and rich in
alluvial soil. The Delhi ridge is the most important characteristic of the state and is a part of the
Aravali range that passes through Delhi.

Soil Type: The soil type is derivative of Yamuna flood plain alluvium due to which there is
progressive clayey material at the top of the soil horizon while the sand and silt portions increase
progressively downwards.

The Soil sample was collected from the project site and the results are given in Table- 1 below:-

1.6 What are the quantities of earthwork involved in the construction activity-cutting, filling,
reclamation etc. (Give details of the quantities of earthwork involved, transport of fill
materials from outside the site etc?)
During Construction phase, excavation will be carried out to provide foundations and for
establishing the pillar. This excavated soil will be properly stacked within the site under tarpaulin
cover. The filling works will be done by the excavated material and no extra material will be
used. All the topsoil excavated during construction activities is being stored for use in
horticulture/landscape development within the project site.

1.7 Give details regarding water supply, waste handling etc. during the construction
period.
Water Supply:
Water required during the construction period will be supplied through private water tanker.
It is estimated that water demand during the construction phase may vary from 24 KLD.
Water will be used in the construction activity for cement mixing, sprinkling, dust
suppression and domestic purposes of the construction workers.

Waste Generation/Handling:
Sewage: The existing sewerage collection facilities comprising of toilets and urinals shall be
used by the construction workers and staff involved. No additional sewage shall be generated
which has to be separately disposed off.

Construction waste: No demolition waste will be generated as the site was a vacant plot
when the excavation began. The solid waste generated during the construction phase like
metal cutting. Debris, plastic material and wooden log etc. is being collected and stored in a
separate covered area so as to prevent damage to property and personnel working at the
project site. Further, most of the construction debris is being used for filling activities and the
rest is being disposed off through authorized recyclers. The excavated soil will be used on
site for the development of green belt and leveling of the plot.

The waste generated during the construction activities is limited to project site only and
during construction phase only. These will be reused for backfilling and road development
after manual segregation. This waste shall be utilized for construction of roads.
Major types of construction wastes are expected from the proposed Project: -
 Clean Fills:
Clean fill is uncontaminated soil, rock, sand, gravel, concrete, asphaltic concrete, cinder
blocks brick, minimal amounts of wood and metal and inert (non-reactive) solids for fill,
reclamation or other beneficial use. Minimal means the smallest amount possible.

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 11 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

 Recovered Materials
Recovered Materials are those removed for reuse (lumber, doors, windows, ceramic tile
and glass) and those removed to be recycled into new products. Potentially recyclable
construction and demolition wastes will include scrap metals, asphalt shingles, sheet
rock, lumber, glass and electrical wire.

 Regulated construction and demolition waste


Regulated construction and demolition wastes are those not classified as clean fill and not
being reused or recycled. Regulated non-hazardous construction and demolition wastes
will be disposed off at a permitted landfill or transfer station.

Scrap metal painted with heavy metals will be sent to a salvage yard for recycling.
Conclusively, it can be stated that impacts may be confined to small area (mainly to project
site) and for short duration. Construction waste will be reused; disposal of non-reusable
waste will be done through authorized vendors/recyclables.

1.8 Will the low lying areas & wetlands get altered? (Provide details of how low lying and
wetlands are getting modified from the proposed activity).
Sewage generated will be treated in the onsite STP of Fluidised Bed Reactor Technology of 320
KLD. Hence, no low lying areas will get altered.

1.9 Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give
quantities of various types of wastes generated during construction including the
construction labor and the means of disposal).
 No significant health hazard is associated with the proposed construction.
 During construction period, source of fugitive dust generation is from material handling and
vehicular movement. Impact due to fugitive dust emission shall be negligible as water
sprinklers are being used to suppress fugitive dust emission as and when generate. However,
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 14 of 66
Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

the impacts are confined to laborers/workers particularly with regard to occupational


exposure. Proper Personal Protective Equipments have been provided to the workers working
in the potential areas (e.g. masks, ear plugs etc.).
 Careful design, planning and good site management has minimized waste of materials such
as concrete, mortars and cement grouts. Construction wastes are being segregated as much as
possible at site itself to increase the feasibility of recycling concrete and masonry as filling
material and steel pieces as saleable scrap. Litter disposal and collection points have been
established around the work sites. Empty packaging materials, drums, glass, tin, paper,
plastic, pet bottles, wood, and other packaging materials, etc are being disposed through
recyclers. The construction spoils are being temporarily stored at designated dumpsite
located inside the site premises. Later on these wastes will be used for land filling / leveling
work within the site premises. An estimate of the average composition of waste generated
from the onsite construction activities given in Table-2.

2.8. What would be the impact of the land use changes occurring due to the proposed project
on the runoff characteristics (quantitative as well as qualitative) of the area in the post
construction phase on a long term basis? Would it aggravate the problems of flooding or
water logging in any way?

 There will not be such impact as the proposed project will be developed on a land base which
is for “cultural” purpose as per the Delhi Master Plan 2021.

 As the project site is almost plain land and the topography of the site is not anticipated to
change due to the project activities, hence, no impacts are expected on the drainage profile or
runoff characteristics after construction phase.

 A network of storm water drain is proposed all along the direction along the main roads and
cross roads of suitable area size. All storm water drains will be covered with RC slabs so as to
prevent the entry of soil and dust. Storm water collected through storm water drains and
discharged into existing Storm Water Drains. Storm water drains will be constructed on all
the edges of roads.
 The proposed project will have a storm water management system aiming at “Maximum uses
of Storm water.” The system will include collection of storm water and roof-top rainwater
and stored through designed RWH structure. Excess storm water will be discharged outside
of the project site through a drainage system. The proposed project would not aggravate the
problems of flooding or water logging in anyway.

2.9 What are the impacts of the proposal on the ground water? (Will there be tapping of
ground water; give the details of ground water table, recharging capacity, and approvals
obtained from competent authority, if any)

Adequate management measures are being taken to protect the water quality during construction
phase. Excavation during monsoon season will be avoided. Care is being taken to avoid soil
erosion. To prevent surface and ground water contamination by oil/grease, leak proof containers
shall be used for storage and transportation of oil/grease. The floors of oil/grease handling area
shall be kept effectively impervious. Collection and settling of storm water, prohibition of
equipment wash downs, and prevention of soil loss and toxic release from the construction site
will be adhered to minimize water pollution. Figure-9 and Figure-10 shows Hydrogeology map
of India and categorization of Blocks. Figure-11 shows Depth to water level in post monsoon.
Figure-12 shows area identified for artificial recharge in Delhi.

2.9. What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the runoff from construction activities
polluting land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the
adverse impacts)
The construction shall be taken up on a piece of land within the existing Public and semi-public
area which is enclosed from three side. As such there shall not be major impact due to the runoff
from construction activities. However, a channel shall be prepared to collect the surface runoff
during rains to collect at a place which shall be disposed off to existing storm water drain.

In operation phase most of the storm water produced on site will be harvested through rain water
harvested structure. Thus proper management of this resource must be ensured so that it is free of
contamination. A detailed Storm Water Management Plan will be developed which will consider
the sources of storm water. The plan will incorporate best management practices which will
include the following:

 Regular inspection and cleaning of storm drains.


 Installation of clarifiers or Oil/Water separators system of adequate capacity around
parking areas and garages as per requirement.
 Cover waste storage areas.
 Avoid application of pesticides and herbicides before wet season.
 Conducting routine inspections to ensure cleanliness.

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 25 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

 Preparation of spill response plans, particularly for fuel and oil storage areas.
 Provision of silt traps in storm water drains.
 Good housekeeping in the above areas.

Precautions /Measures Taken to Prevent the Run-Off from Construction Activities


• Domestic Wastewater from Toilets: Additional generation of sewage is not envisaged to be
treated and disposed off separately. Existing sewage line with toilet facilities shall be used by
then involved construction workers and staff.

• Site Development and Construction: The wastewater generation during site development
and construction mainly includes the storm water run-off from the construction areas,
stockpiles of construction materials and wastes, etc. mainly containing high suspended solids
(SS), in case these activities are undertaken during rainy season.

2.10. How is the storm water from within the site managed? (State the provisions made to avoid
flooding of the area, details of the drainage facilities provided along with a site layout
indication contour levels).
As the ground water table is very high i.e. 2.5 m below the existing ground level. So, RWH pits
are not feasible. Therefore, we are proposing the rain water harvesting structure for the direct use
or for water harvesting. Most of the storm water will be managed through Rain water harvesting
technology. The storm water management plan will include practices as stated in point 2.7 & 2.8

2.11. Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to
unsanitary conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).
No it shall not lead to unsanitary conditions. Additional generation of sewage is not envisaged to
be treated and disposed off separately. Existing sewage line with toilet facilities shall be used by
then involved construction workers and staff.

2.12. What on-site facilities are provided for the collection, treatment & safe disposal of sewage?
(Give details of the quantities of wastewater generation, treatment capacities with
technology & facilities for recycling and disposal).
There is a provision of the onsite STP to treat the sewage. The treatment of sewage generated
from the site will be done in proposed Sewage treatment of capacity 320 KLD.

Fluidised Bed Reactor (FBR)

A fluidized bed reactor (FBR) is a type of reactor device that can be used to carry out a variety of
multiphase chemical reactions. In this type of reactor, a fluid (gas or liquid) is passed through a
solid granular material (usually a catalyst possibly shaped as tiny spheres) at high enough
velocities to suspend the solid and cause it to behave as though it were a fluid. This process,
known as fluidization, imparts many important advantages to the FBR. As a result, the fluidized
bed reactor is now used in many industrial applications.

The solid substrate (the catalytic material upon which chemical species react) material in the
fluidized bed reactor is typically supported by a porous plate, known as a distributor. The fluid is
then forced through the distributor up t hrough the solid material. At lower fluid velocities, the
solids remain in place as the fluid passes through the voids in the material. This is known as a
packed bed reactor. As the fluid velocity is increased, the reactor will reach a s tage where the
force of the fluid on the solids is enough to balance the weight of the solid material. This stage is
known as incipient fluidization and occurs at this minimum fluidization velocity. Once this
minimum velocity is surpassed, the contents of the reactor bed begin to expand and swirl around
much like an agitated tank or boiling pot of water. The reactor is now a fluidized bed. Depending
on the operating conditions and properties of solid phase various flow regimes can be observed
in this reactor.

2.13. Give details of dual plumbing system if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or any
other use.
Dual plumbing system that utilizes separate piping systems for freshwater and recycled
wastewater will be adopted for the project. Treated water from the STP is estimated at 320 KLD.
The recycled water system shall utilize this treated water and serve for non-contact uses such as
flushing, horticulture, DG Cooling etc.

3. VEGETATION
3.1. Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local
ecosystem with its unique features, if any)
Okhla Bird Sanctuary is coming within the 8.78 km radius of the project site which may have an
indirect impact.
Local eco-system has the unique features of north western plains sub zone of upper gangetic
plain agro climatic zone. The climate of the area varies from dry sub humid to semi arid and soil
type is mainly alluvial. Numerous alluvial landforms such as marshes ox-bow lakes, meander-
cuts, peniplain and pedyplain are unique features of local ecosystem. The major tree found in the
study area involves Bahuinia variegata, Delonix regia etc. The area is very fertile and numerous
agricultural crops i.e. wheat and mustard are grown.

3.2. Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a
detailed account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project)
The construction will not involve any extensive clearing or modification of vegetation. As the
land is a Government owned land by Delhi Development Authority no forest land is involved in
the construction of proposed project site.

3.3. What are the measures proposed to be taken to minimize the likely impacts on important
site features (Give details of proposal for tree plantation, landscaping, creation of water
bodies etc along with a layout plan to an appropriate scale?)
The following steps were taken to minimize the likely impacts on the surrounding environment.
• The Green Belt is proposed for clean, healthy and beautiful green environment for the
people to live in and work in.
• Within the proposed project site green belt to be developed by plantation of various
species of plants, shrubs to create a clean, healthy and aesthetic environment that
provides a visual retreat and relaxation to the occupants of the project. A combination of
evergreen trees and ornamental flowering trees and shrubs recommended by CPCB.
• The plantation arrangement would be based on optimal use of available land and
quantum of irrigation water and treated waste water.
• The capability of plants to act as a s ink for air contaminants has been addressed by a
number of reviews. Various studies indicate that the surface of vegetation provides a
major filtration and reaction surface to the atmosphere for removing pollutants from the
atmosphere. Therefore, the green belt is essential feature of any developmental project
because it acts as a pollution cleaning region, improvement of the aesthetic value of the
project and a noise buffer.

4. FAUNA
4.1. Is there likely to be any displacement of fauna- both terrestrial and aquatic or creation of
barriers for their movement? Provide the details.
The proposed site is an open land when the construction begins and devoid of forestation so in
the existing conditions, this place was not the habitat for any wild fauna. There will not be any
type of displacement or any other effect on the local fauna due to proposed project activities.

4.2. Any direct or indirect impacts on the avifauna of the area? Provide details.
The following impacts to be observed after completion of the project.
• After green belt development, the planted trees and shrubs will provide shelters and shed
especially to the birds and other domesticated animals and human being.
• Within the proposed project site, proper landscaping has been planned to provide a clean,
healthy, and beautiful green environment for the people to live and work in.
• The common native variety of trees and ornamental flowering species will be planted in
the green space.
• The vibration raised during construction will affect the movement of birds during day
time.
• The monitoring to be done for regular checkup of the pollution raised by construction
activities. That should not above the prescribed limit as per CPCB norms.

4.3. Prescribe measures such as corridors, fish ladders etc to mitigate adverse impacts on
fauna.
These measures are not applicable for this project.

5. AIR ENVIRONMENT
5.1. Will the project increase atmospheric concentration of gases & result in heat islands? (Give
details of background air quality levels with predicted values based on dispersion models
taking into account the increased traffic generation as a result of the proposed
constructions)
Increased traffic generation due to proposed project is not going to cause significant increase in
atmospheric concentration of gases and will not result in island formation.

Background Air Quality:

The Air monitoring analysis report given below of the proposed project site and the background
air quality results are provided in the Table-10.

5.2. What are the impacts on generation of dust, smoke, odorous fumes or other hazardous
gases? Give details in relation to all the meteorological parameters.
Construction Phase:
During construction phase there is increased generation of dust and smoke from the background
levels. There is no activity associated with generation of odorous fumes and any hazardous gases
during construction phase.

The main sources of dust generation are land clearing, drilling, ground excavation, cut and fill
operations (i.e., earth moving), and construction of a particular facility. A large portion of the
dust emissions results from equipment traffic over temporary roads at the construction site.

Measures taken during Transport and Handling of Materials during Construction


The transport and handling of materials during construction has potential impacts on air quality
in the vicinity. Thus the following mitigation measures are being adopted to minimize the
impacts.

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 34 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

Air Emissions
• Dust Suppression: The most cost-effective dust suppressant applied to mitigate airborne
dust is water, because of its efficiency as well as ready availability on the construction site.
Water shall be applied using handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Water spray
at the work site also effectively suppresses dust generated. Results have proven that for about
80% of such active area(s), the water spray suppresses airborne dust by about >90%.

• Emission Control for Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Construction equipment and


heavy transport vehicles meet emission standards like Bharat Stage - IV requirements for
vehicles. The operation and maintenance of all vehicles, equipments deployed on s ite by
Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 35 of 66
Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

different contractors are being regulated and effectively monitored. The Pollution under
Control (PUC) certification is being ensured for proper O&M of vehicles.

• Improved Maintenance: Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved


through regular equipment and vehicle maintenance, all site contractors have been asked to
take necessary steps for proper maintenance of vehicle and equipments. A monetary
incentive/ disincentive provision encourages contractors to comply with regular maintenance
requirements. The fuel used in the equipments, and vehicles is of good quality with low
“Sulphur” percentage by following the norms prevailing in project area.

• Reduction of On-site Construction Time: The heavy construction activities are being
confined to the daytime to avoid higher impacts during the nighttime. During daytime, there
is higher atmospheric dilution. Rapid on-site construction reduces the duration of traffic
interference and therefore, reduces emissions from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of
various moulded structural components, obtaining proper cut size of stone, pre-fabricated
concrete slabs, etc. also enhance the quality of work environment at the construction site
because other factors such as traffic congestion and emissions are then not relevant.

• Barrier around the Site: Besides the project site will be enclosed by about 2.5 m high
temporary barrier during the whole construction period so that the spread of dust to the
neighborhood shall be restricted.

Operation Phase:
The land use of the site will be designed to have open areas covered with either soft or hard
landscape and paved areas (roads and pedestrian walkways). This will mitigate dust emissions in
any meteorological conditions.

5.3. Will the proposal create shortage of parking space for vehicles? Furnish details of the
present level of transport infrastructure and measures proposed for improvement
including the traffic management at the entry & exit to the project site.
No, the proposed project will not create shortage of parking space for the vehicle. 635 ECS is
provided in the basement and on surface.

5.4. Provide details of the movement patterns with internal roads, bicycle tracks, pedestrian
pathways, footpaths etc., with areas under each category.
Internal road width of 6 meters is proposed for internal traffic management.

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 36 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

5.5. Will there be significant increase in traffic noise & vibrations? Give details of the sources
and the measures proposed for mitigation of the above.
Sources of traffic noise & vibrations in construction phase:
Construction vehicles (Majorly Trucks & JCBs, Road rollers etc.)
The trucks carrying materials such as concrete bags, construction debris etc. will be serviced
regularly and there will be speed limit for all the vehicles moving within the project site. Proper
maintenance of the internal roads will be carried out, encourage vehicle owners to not to blow
horns. The movements of vehicles have been restricted to day time so as to reduce the
disturbances in nearby areas of project site during night.

Sources of traffic noise in operation phase:


Light motor vehicles & 2-wheelers. There will be negligible effect of vibration from movement
of light vehicles and 2 wheelers. To mitigate the noise effects vehicle owners will be encouraged
for regular checks of their vehicles.

Moreover the effect of noise will be further minimized by plantation on t he sides of internal
roads, on the open spaces inside and around the periphery of whole project site.

5.6. What will be the impact of DG sets & other equipment on noise levels & vibration in &
ambient air quality around the project site? Provide details.
In case of power failure, 3 DG sets of total capacity of 3030 kVA (3 x 1010) will be provided as
power back-up for the essential load.
The DG sets will be of water- cooled.

Calculation of DG Stack Height:


Stack Height for D.G. set capacity more than 1000 KVA:
H=14*Q0.3------- (As per CPCB norms for D.G. sets commissioned after 1.7.2003)

Where,
H= Maximum Stack Height in Meter (m)
Q= Total SO2 emissions from D.G. sets in kg/hour

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 37 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

Sulphur content in HSD =0.25%


Density of HSD= 0.85 kg/liter

D.G. Set combined Capacity = 3,030 KVA


Fuel Consumption for D.G sets capacity of 3030 KVA = 460 lit/hour
Sulphur content in HSD =0.25%
D.G. Set of combined Capacity = 4500 KVA (2x 2000+1x 500)
Sulphur content in HSD =0.25%
Density of HSD= 0.85 kg/liter
Emission of Sulphur = 1.15 Lit/hour * 0.85 Kg/Lit * (0.25/100) =1.995Kg/hour

Applying,
H= 14*Q0.3
= 16.41 ~ 17 m
We suggest 6 meter above the max. height of the building.
Impact of D.G. sets on noise & vibration and mitigation measures to be adopted in
construction and operational phase:
D.G. sets if not enclosed in acoustic enclosures will contribute to significant increase in noise
levels at the project site.

However the D.G. sets used during construction and operation phase will be enclosed in an
acoustic enclosure to reduce the noise. The DG sets foundation will comprise of heavy weight
inertia concrete block. No vibration impacts are expected from the DG sets.
The D.G. sets will be checked for noise every 6 months.
The noise level of DG sets will be maximum 75dB (A) (at 1.0 m distance) & the insertion loss
will be maintained at minimum 25 db as per the prescribed compliance standards of the MoEF
{Noise pollution (regulation & control) (Amendment) rule 2010}.

grade building material production facilities and industries now use energy efficient
processes.
 All the items to be used in the proposed project will be as per the National Building Code
specification. If the building materials with high-embodied energy are locally available, it
will be used in construction.

8.2. Transport and handling of materials during construction may result in pollution, noise &
public nuisance. What measures are taken to minimize the impacts?

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 41 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

The transport and handling of materials during construction phase has potential impacts on a ir
and noise emissions in the vicinity. To control this, various mitigation measures shall be adopted
to minimize the impacts.

Air Emissions
Dust Suppression: The most cost-effective dust suppressant applied to mitigate airborne dust is
water, because of its efficiency as well as ready availability on the construction site. Water is
being applied using water trucks, handheld sprays and automatic sprinkler systems. Water
spraying at the site also effectively suppresses dust generated. Results have proven that for about
80% of such active area(s), the water spray suppresses airborne dust by about >90%.

Emission Control for Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Construction equipment and heavy


transport vehicles meet emission standards like Bharat Stage - IV requirements for vehicles. The
operation and maintenance of all vehicles, equipments to be deployed on site by different
contractors shall be regulated and effectively monitored. The Pollution under Control (PUC)
certification are being ensured for proper O&M of vehicles.

Improved Maintenance: Recognizing that significant emission reductions can be achieved


through regular equipment and vehicle maintenance, all site contractors have been asked to take
necessary steps for proper maintenance of vehicle and equipments. A monetary incentive/
disincentive provision encourages contractors to comply with regular maintenance requirements.
The fuel to be used in the equipments, and vehicles shall be of good quality with low “Sulphur”
percentage by following the norms prevailing in project area.

Reduction of On-site Construction Time: The heavy construction activities will be confined to
the daytime to avoid higher impacts during the nighttime. During daytime, there will be higher
atmospheric dilution. Rapid on-site construction reduces the duration of traffic interference and
therefore, reduces emissions from traffic delay. Off-site fabrication of various moulded structural
components, obtaining proper cut size of stone, pre-fabricated concrete slabs, etc. shall also
enhance the quality of work environment at the construction site because other factors such as
traffic congestion and emissions are then not relevant.

Noise Emissions
 The mitigation measures concerning technological control at source (of vehicles) shall meet
the minimum compliance requirements for manufacturing stage. Besides these, other
measures shall be of preventive nature as follows:

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 42 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

 Restriction of Time of Construction: The heavy construction and transport activities will
be restricted to daytime operation when the background noise levels are high so that impacts
like sleep disturbance during the night time will be avoided.
 Provision of Noise Barrier: No extra barriers will be provided because it will be within the
premises of the project site.
 Proper Maintenance of Construction Equipment/Vehicles: Proper operation and
maintenance of heavy equipment as well as transport vehicles will be ensured for lower noise
emissions.
 Occupational & Passive Protection: Ear plugs, ear muffs, etc. will be provided to workers
handling high noise equipment or stone cutting operations shall protect them from high noise
exposure.

8.3. Are recycled materials used in roads and structures? State the extent of savings achieved?
Fly ash used materials would be utilized for paving work etc, if viable. Also, the construction
waste (particularly the construction debris) will be used on the project site for leveling purposes.
An approximate saving of 5% to 7% is proposed to be achieved.

8.4. Give details of the methods of collection, segregation& disposal of the garbage generated
during the operation phases of the project.

Energy Conservation,
Monitoring & Management
SUPPLY DEMAND
system

• Reduce Consumption.
• Utililise Energy-efficient
equipment. • Use energy-efficient building designs
and ventilation systems.
• Exploring the possibilities of
utilizing renewable energy. • Create staff awareness and conduct
training programmes.
• Maximizing the use of Natural
lighting.

The Energy Conservation efforts may consist of the following mitigation measures:
a. Architectural Design Features
• Most of the external surface of the building will be design in way to have an air gap between
the wall surface and the external skin. This should reduce the transmission of heat into the
building as the heat would get dissipated into the air gap to an extent. Landscaping will be
carefully considered within the overall architectural concept.

b. Energy Saving Practices:


• Purchase of energy efficient appliances.
• Constant monitoring of energy consumption and defining targets for energy conservation.
• Adjusting the settings and illumination levels to ensure minimum energy used for desired
comfort levels.
• Use of Light Emitting Diodes (LED) and low voltage lighting.

c. Behavioral Change for Reducing the Consumption


• Train all staff and operators for energy efficiency measures.
• Promoting staffs’ awareness on energy conservation.
• Training of staffs on methods of energy conservation and to be vigilant of such opportunities.
• Turn on all lights when not in use, especially in conference rooms and turn down remaining
lighting levels where ever possible.

Passive Solar Design Considerations


Following are the consideration adopted for passive solar design of the buildings in the proposed
project:
• Maximum openings would be towards the north to get natural light that will not unduly heat
up the interiors.
• Least opening would be provided towards southern and western walls so as to cut out the hot
incident rays of the sun.
• Windows provided would be shaded adequately by designing double layer glass glazing so
that no direct rays of sun can come into the building.

Most of the external surface of the building will be designed in a way to have an air gap between
the wall surface and the external skin. This should reduce the transmission of heat into the
building as the heat would get dissipated into the air gap to an extent.

As an endnote, the design has been a conscious effort to make a modern building with local
materials and will not use excessive amount of glass and steel.

9.2 What type of, and capacity of, power back-up to you plan to provide?
The total electrical load demand has been estimated to be 2430 KW. The source of power will be
supplied by BSES Rajdhani Power Limited.

In case of power failure, 3 DG sets of total capacity of 3030 kVA (3 x 1010) will be provided as
power back-up for the essential load. The DG sets will be of water cooled. The DG sets will be
of water cooled.

The DG sets will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Adequate stack heights of D.G. Sets will
be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to
facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases.

9.3. What are the characteristics of the glass you plan to use? Provide specifications of its
characteristics related to both short wave and long wave radiation?
Glass panel will have maximum light transmission but low solar heat radiation. This will reduce
quantity of heat inflow into the building. Single pane glass of 0.25 inches thickness with visible
transmittance up to 85% day lighting may be used.

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 48 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

Glass Assembly:
Single glazing for all frame types will have U-factor of 7.1 W/m2 o C, SHGC as 0.82 and VLT as
0.76.
Double glazing for wood, vinyl or fiberglass frame will have U-factor as 3.3 W/m2 o C, SHGC as
0.59 and VLT as 0.64.

Double glazing for metal and other frame type will have U-factor as 5.1 W/m2 o C, SHGC as 0.68
and VLT as 0.66

9.4. What passive solar architectural features are being used in the building? Illustrate the
applications made in the proposed project.

Passive solar design in Architecture: Solar design is the use of architectural features to replace
the use of grid electricity and fossil fuel with the use of solar energy and decrease the energy
needed in a home or building with insulation and efficient lighting and appliances.

Architectural features used in solar design include:


• Large south facing windows and minimum north-facing glazing.
• Use of materials with high thermal masses such as walls or roofs that absorbs and hold
the sun’s heat. Materials with high specific heat capacities, like stone, concrete, adobe or
water work bests.
• Insulation to reduce heat loss
• Sunspaces such as conservatories on s outh-facing elevations. These collect heat which
can be distributed throughout the building and reduce heat losses by creating thermal
buffer.
• Insulating shutters for windows to be closed at night and on overcast days. These trap the
solar heat in the building.
• Planting deciduous trees near the windows. The leaves will give shade in summer but
falls in winter to let the sunlight enter the building.

9.5. Does the layout of streets & buildings maximize the potential for solar energy devices?
Have you considered the use of street lighting, emergency lighting and solar hot water
systems for use in the building complex? Substantiate with details.
Yes, the streets and building is designed to maximize the potential of solar energy devices.

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 49 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

9.6. Is shading effectively used to reduce cooling/heating loads? What principles have been used
to maximize the shading of Walls on the East and the West and the Roof? How much
energy saving has been effected?
Yes. Shading has been effectively used to reduce the cooling loads. The following techniques
have been adopted:

• For walls on the east and west side of the building a maximum of 10% window to wall
ratio is recommend to minimize solar radiations, which further helps minimize
cooling/ventilation.
• Living areas to be aligned to get maximum north south light and services areas are to be
located on the western side.
• Shading is used to increase cooling effects in the building.
• There will be less numbers of openings on the west side and ore numbers of openings on
south side
• Projections such as balconies are provided on the south direction such that summer sun is
stopped and winter sun is let in.
• Promoting residents awareness on energy conservation.

9.7. Do the structures use energy-efficient space conditioning, lighting and mechanical systems?
Provide technical details. Provide details of the transformers and motor efficiencies,
lighting intensity and air-conditioning load assumptions? Are you using CFC and HCFC
free chillers? Provide specifications.
Suitable energy optimization will be adopted during the calculation of the energy load of the
proposed project. The space heating load will be minimized using passive solar structure,
suitable building envelop materials. Use of incandescent and halogen lamps will be avoided and
energy efficient compact fluorescent lamps /LED will be used for all common area.

9.8. What are the likely effects of the building activity in altering the micro-climates? Provide a
self-assessment on the likely impacts of the proposed construction on creation of heat island
& inversion effects?
Heat emission from the proposed construction can be from the following sources: Heat absorbed from
the paved and concrete structures, heat generated from equipments / appliances, and due to increased
population in the proposed project site. However the heat generated will not be significant and will be
dissipated in the lush greens and open areas provided within the project site. Hence it can be concluded
that the heat island effect shall not be a concern for the concerned project.

9.11. If you are using glass as wall material provides details and specifications including
emissivity and thermal characteristics.
Glass panel will have maximum light transmission but low solar heat radiation. This will reduce
quantity of heat inflow into the building. Single pane glass of 0.25 inches thickness with visible
transmittance up to 85% day lighting may be used.
The Double pane glass (clear/tinted) with a transmission coefficient of ‘U factor’ as 3.3 W/m2 -
ºC (for clear) and ‘U factor’ as 3.4 W/m2 -ºC (for tinted) may be used for composite climate
zone. The Solar heat gain coefficient (SHGC) is 0.59 (clear) and 0.42 (tinted).

9.12 What is the rate of air infiltration into the building? Provide details of how you are
mitigating the effects of infiltration.
Reduced air infiltration combined with proper ventilation can not only reduce energy bills but it
can also improve the quality of indoor air. Outdoor air that leaks indoor makes it difficult to
maintain comfort and energy efficiency. In addition, air leakage accounts for 25-40% energy
used for heating and cooling in a typical building. For this purpose the building has been
designed in a compact manner, leaving ventilation shaft in between buildings for facilitating the
escape of hot exhaust air.

9.13 To what extent the non-conventional energy technologies are utilized in the overall energy
consumption? Provide details of the renewable energy technologies used.
• The Energy efficient lighting will be done with the use of LED lamps. Additionally solar energy
will be explored.
• Use of Solar energy for street lightening will be explored.

Environmental Monitoring:
Various environmental protection and mitigation measures have been suggested in the previous
Chapter/section for ensuring compliance with the stipulated environmental regulations and
applicable standards. Also, there are specified environmental monitoring and record keeping
requirements for operating facilities that the proposed Project will have to comply with. Though
record keeping would be largely an in-house activity, environmental monitoring within and
outside of the proposed Project would be carried out through recognized environmental
laboratories as per the requirements of MoEFCC.

The purpose of environmental monitoring is to evaluate the effectiveness of implementation of


EMP by periodically monitoring the important environmental parameters within the impact area,
so that any potential adverse impacts are detected and timely action can be taken. In order to

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 62 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

ensure compliance with the applicable regulatory requirements, the Project plans to conduct the
following environmental monitoring activities.
Wastewater Quality Monitoring and Record Keeping
The wastewater discharges from the proposed Project will mainly comprise of domestic sewage
and other wastewater discharges from drinking water points, toilets, washbasins, food court and
kitchen, backwashing of filters (used in water treatment) etc.

Therefore, as per the requirements of the Water (Prevention and Control of Pollution) Act 1974,
the Project proponent will apply to DPCC for the Consent to Establish. Before starting the
operation, the Project proponent will apply to DPCC for the Consent to Operate for Wastewater
Discharges and thereafter periodically renew its Consent to Operate. Subsequently, whenever
there is a change in the operations, the Project will get the requisite amendments in its Consent.

The Project would maintain an inventory of all sources of wastewater and maintain records of
waste water quality and quantity for the wastewater streams, as required. The Project will ensure
that wastewater analysis is conducted for all regulated parameters as per DPCC’s specification or
as per conditions of Consent to Operate and to ensure compliance with any other specifically
applicable standards. The frequency of wastewater quality monitoring would be decided in
consultation with the DPCC officials. Care will be taken to ensure that wastewater analysis is
conducted at such a frequency that potential variations due to various operational factors are
recorded.

Noise Level Monitoring and Record keeping


The Project would maintain an inventory of all point and non-point sources of noise emissions
and identify regulated sources, specified in the DPCC’s Consent to Operate for Air Emissions.
Main source of noise would be DG sets during the construction phase, But as DG s ets with
acoustic enclosure has been proposed, there would be minimal chance of noise pollution.
However, the Project management would conduct noise level monitoring at the specified
locations within, on t he fence line/boundary, and outside the Project’s premises to ensure
compliance with the specific standards and conditions of the Consent to Operate. The locations
of the noise monitoring stations and frequency of noise level monitoring would be decided in
consultation with the DPCC officials. The noise level monitoring would be conducted at such a
frequency that potential variations due to various operational factors are recorded.

Awareness and Training


Training and human resource development is an important link for achieving sustainable
operation of the facility and environmental management. For successful functioning of the

Consultant-Ascenso Enviro Pvt. Ltd. Page 63 of 66


Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

project, relevant EMPs will be communicated to the residents of the project. Everyone will be
made aware of importance of their various environmental responsibilities including waste
segregation and storage, water and energy conservation, etc. This awareness will be provided
through documents and periodic meetings. They will be informed of their responsibilities for
successful operation of various environmental management schemes inside the Project premises.
Relevant personnel at site will be trained for the following:

• Applicable EH&S regulations and compliance requirements for the same.


• Collection, Segregation, Storage and Disposal of solid and hazardous wastes.
• Operation and maintenance of Sewage Treatment Plant and recycling system
• Techniques for waste minimization, water conservation and energy conservation, etc.
• Functioning of the Project’s Environmental Management System (EMS) including
environmental monitoring, reporting and documentation needs.
• Requirements and responsibilities in case of an emergency as per emergency response plan.

Reuse of Treated Water:

Total waste water generated is 165 KLD, which will be treated in the STP of capacity higher
than the waste water generated i.e. 320 KLD. The treated water available is 132 KLD (@ of
80%) and it will be recycled and re-used for flushing, DG Cooling and landscaping. During the
non-monsoon season, treated water will be used in Flushing, DG Cooling & landscaping. The
details of recycled water uses are provided in Table-11 below.

Wastewater Treatment Scheme


The waste water generated will be treated in the Sewage Treatment Plant, and the capacity of
Sewage Treatment Plant (STP) will be higher of waste water generated i.e. 320 KLD. The
proposed STP is based on Fluidized Bed Reactor (FBR).

9. STORM WATER DRAINAGE


The storm water disposal system for the premises shall be self-sufficient to avoid any collection/
stagnation and flooding of water. Maximum harvesting will be done within the site. Therefore, it
has been decided to provide sufficient rain water harvesting at selected locations, which are
liable to catch the maximum run-off from the area. Following are some measures for Storm
water disposal:

1) Since the existing topography is congenial to surface disposal, a network of storm water
pipe drains is planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought down
through rain water pipes.

2) Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drain and catch basins at regular intervals
for rain water harvesting.

3) The annual rainfall intensity of 11 mm/hr shall be considered for designing the storm
water drainage system.

4) The entire site is provided with extensive planned underground drainage system with
gravity connections to the RWH structures. The arrangement provides appropriate
protection to the site against flooding.

Proposed Museum building complex at Bhairon Marg, behind Purana Quila, New Delhi by
National Museum Of Natural History

10. RAINWATER HARVESTING


Rainwater harvesting is the activity of direct collection of rainwater. Collected Rainwater will be
stored for direct use. Rain Water Harvesting is the technique through which rain water is
captured from the roof and paved surfaces and stored in sub-surface reservoir.

Advantages:
 To meet the ever increasing demand for water.
 To avoid flooding of roads.
 To reduce ground water pollution.
 To reduce the soil erosion.
 To supplement domestic water requirement during summer, drought etc.

Rainwater Harvesting Calculation for the proposed project is given in Table-12 and Table-13.

11. POWER REQUIREMENT


The total electrical load demand has been estimated to be 2430 KW. The source of power will be
supplied by BSES Rajdhani Power Limited.

In case of power failure, 3 DG sets of total capacity of 3030 kVA (3 x 1010) will be provided as
power back-up for the essential load. The DG sets will be of water cooled.

The DG sets will be provided with acoustic enclosure. Adequate stack heights of D.G. Sets will
be provided as per the stipulated guidelines of Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB) to
facilitate natural dispersion of exhaust gases.

12. SOLID WASTE GENERATION AND MANAGEMENT


The project will adopt a systematic approach for solid waste collection and disposal. Solid waste
generated from the project will be collected properly and will be managed as per MSW Rules,
2000.

The domestic solid waste will be generated by the occupants of the Residential Apartments,
Visitors, Community Population, pertains to the two categories, Bio-degradable and Non-
biodegradable. These solid wastes will be collected separately by putting three types of separate
bins at the source of generation. For the biodegradable waste green bins will be provided, for the
recyclable waste blue bins and for the non-recyclable waste dark grey bins will be provided.
Biodegradable waste will be subjected to composting by Organic waste converter and compost
will be used as manure. It is estimated that maximum solid waste generation would be about
1687.5 kg / day, and 120.28 kg of sludge (wet basis). Following are the solid waste generation
rate has been considered as given in Table-14.

DISASTER MANAGEMENT PLAN

The Proposed project encompasses the lives of a large number of people. It also involves
installation of various structures and machineries that meet the comfort and needs of its
population but may also pose serious threat to the occupants in case of an accident. It is thus
considered necessary to carry out a risk assessment and disaster management plan for the project.

Type of Emergency, External and Internal Origin of Hazards


It is attempted to plan and construct the buildings following all safety norms. However, it is not
always possible to totally eliminate such eventualities and random failures of equipment or
human errors. An essential part of major hazard control has therefore, to be concerned with
mitigating the effects of such emergency and restoration of normalcy at the earliest. A detailed
Table showing activities during construction and operation phase along with mitigation measures
are given in Table below:.

Emergency Response Plan (ERP)

The overall objective of an Emergency Response Plan (ERP) is to make use of the combined
resources at the site and outside services to achieve the following:
• To localize the emergency and if possible eliminate it;
• To minimize the effects of the accident on people and property;
• Effect the rescue and medical treatment of casualties;
• Safeguard other people;
• Evacuate people to safe areas;
• Informing and collaborating with statutory authorities;
• Initially contain and ultimately bring the incident under control;
• Preserve relevant records and equipment for the subsequent enquiry into the cause and
circumstances of the emergency;
• Investigating and taking steps to prevent reoccurrence.
The ERP is therefore related to identification of sources from which hazards can arise and the
maximum credible loss scenario that can take place in the concerned area. The plan takes into
account the maximum credible loss scenario-actions that can successfully mitigate the effects of
losses/ emergency need to be well planned so that they would require less effort and resources to
control and terminate emergencies, should the same occur.

Standards and codes used in building construction to minimize the risk of natural calamities like
wind load, seismic load (earthquake), thunder storm/ lightning etc, as per NBC 2005 are given
below:

diesel storage areas, earthquake and LPG leakage and an ERP pertaining to these is described in
the following section.

Response in case of Earthquake

Response Procedures for Occupants


If indoors:
• Take cover under a piece of heavy furniture or against an inside wall and hold on.
• Stay inside: The most dangerous thing to do during the shaking of an earthquake is to try
to leave the building because objects can fall on you.
If outdoors:
Move into the open, away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires. Once in the open, stay
there until the shaking stops.
If in a moving vehicle:
Stop quickly and stay in the vehicle. Move to a clear area away from buildings, trees, overpasses,
or utility wires. Once the shaking has stopped, proceed with caution. A void bridges or ramps
that might have been damaged by the quake.
After the quake
• After the quake be prepared for aftershocks.
• Although smaller than the main shock, aftershocks cause additional damage and may
bring weakened structures down. Aftershocks can occur in the first hours, days, weeks, or
even months after the quake.
Help injured or trapped persons.
• Give first aid where appropriate. Do not move seriously injured persons unless they
are in immediate danger of further injury. Call for help.
• Remember to help those who may require special assistance--infants, the elderly, and
people with disabilities.
• Stay out of damaged buildings.
• Use the telephone only for emergency calls.
Response Procedure for emergency team
• Formulate an emergency response team for earthquake response. Using the public
address system, inform residents of response procedures discussed above.
• Inform the necessary authorities for aid.
• Ensure no person is stuck beneath any debris, in case of a structural failure.
• Ensure that all occupants standing outside near the buildings are taken to open areas.
• Ensure that the first-aid ambulance and fire tender vehicles are summoned if
necessary.
• Inform the nearby hospitals if there are any injuries.
• Check the utilities and storage tanks for any damage.

Response in case of LPG Leakage

• The affected area should be evacuated and cordoned off immediately


• Initiate an Emergency Response Team for LPG leakage.
• Shut down the main valves in the gas bank.
• Ensure that only concerned personnel are present in the affected area and all other
personnel and visitors are moved to the nearest assembly points.
• Rescue trapped personnel, also check if any personnel are unconscious in the area and
immediately move them outside and provide first aid. Ambulance should be summoned
to take injured personnel to the nearest hospital.
• Personnel in the nearby buildings to close all doors and windows to prevent entry of the
leaked gas.
• Source of leakage to be traced and isolated from all the other areas and if required use
pedestal fans to bring down the gas concentration.
• In case of a fire follow the instructions in case of fire.

Response in case of Fire


• Required response during in the event of a fire should be described in signs located in the
lobby.
• On sighting a fire, it should be immediately informed to the environment manager giving
the exact location and type of fire in detail.
• Initiate the Emergency Response Team for fires.
• If the fire is small, engage in extinguishing the fire using the nearest fire extinguisher.
• Guide the Emergency Response Team staff to the emergency assembly point.
• The Emergency Response Team should immediately inform the nearest dispensary and
security force. If required a fire tender should be summoned.
• The response team should immediately move to the point of fire and take all necessary
steps to stop the fire. If the fire is not controllable and spreads then the manager in charge
should inform the district authorities and call for external help.
• The Emergency Response Team will provide immediate relief to the injured residents at
the scene of incident. Any injured persons should be evacuated on priority to the
dispensary or one of the nearest hospitals based on their condition.
General Instructions for Occupants in case of Fire
• Get out of buildings as quickly and as safely as possible.
• Use the stairs to escape. When evacuating, stay low to the ground.
• If possible, cover mouth with a cloth to avoid inhaling smoke and gases.
• Close doors in each room after escaping to delay the spread of the fire.
• If in a room with a closed door.
• If smoke is pouring in around bottom of the door or if it feels hot, keep the doorclosed
• Open a window to escape or for fresh air while awaiting rescue.
• If there is no smoke at bottom or top and the door is not hot, then open the door slowly
• If there is too much smoke or fire in the hall, slam the door shut.
• Stay out of damaged buildings.
• Check that all wiring and utilities are safe.

Fire fighting system is proposed to prevent and control fire outbreaks for the project. The fire
fighting system will consist of portable fire extinguishers, hose reel, wet riser, yard hydrant,
automatic sprinkler system, and manual fire alarm system. The project will also be provided with
automatic fire detection and alarm system.
