The project site is located w ithin Cochin
Corporation Limits.
During constructi on phase, about 100
w orkers ( dail y average) w ill be at site.
During operation phase on full occupanc y
of the proposed residential project , the
maximum populati on is expected 205
resident s hence there is increase in the
intensit y of land use.
(Source: population calculat ion is based
on NBC).
There are some trees at the project si te and
some of them for the development of
project w ill be cleared.
The proposed sit e is earmarked f or the
development of residential area . It is
proposed to const ruct resi dential building
w ith internal roads, parking, green area and
other facilities.
Pre-construction Soil Investigation has
been carried out f or the site and ground
w ater is encount er ed at 1.60 m below
ground level. Duri ng investigation there is
clayey silt upt o 12m, cla yey silt w ith
organic matter from 12.0 to 25m, silt y sand

Ans. The det ails are provided below : The w ater requirements during construction phase are for construction
purposes and for the domestic w ater requirements of the construction
w orkers. The const ruction w ater requirement is expect ed to be 15 KL/ day
and for domestic purposes is estimated to be 13.50 KL/da y. The w ater
requirement during the construction phase w ill be met from the stored rain

Sew age Generation
= 10.80 KL / Da y (80 % of demand)
Construction Wat er demand = 15 KL / Da y

The Wat er Balance Chart (rain y days & non -rainy days) and acti vit y- w ise
population & dail y w ater consumption details are attached at Annexure 1, 2 & 3.
2.2. W hat is the capacit y (dependable f low or yield) of the proposed source of water?
Ans. During construction phase, the source is from the rain w ater storage tanks /
ponds, Kerala Water Suppl y and rec ycl ed w a ter from STP. With the estimated
average constructi on phase w ater requirement of about 28.50 KL / da y (13.50
KL + 15 KL) extending for a period of about 3 2 mont hs, this source is
dependable. The source of w ater for the proposed project during operation
phase w ill be w ater from the proposed rain w ater collection tank w ithin the
site for meeting non -flushing w ater requirement (during rainy da ys). Also, it
is proposed to construct STP for the treatment of domestic sew age. During
non-rain y da ys, the source s of w ater is from stored rain w ater tanks, Kerala
23
Water Authorit y suppl y and w ell / open w ell w ater for meeting the non flushing w ater requirement. The treated w ater from STP w ould meet the

.
2.3. W hat is the qualit y of water required, in case, the supply is not f rom a municipal
source? (Provide physic al, chemical, biological char acteristics wit h class of water

Ans. The source of w ater for the proposed project w ill be from st ored rain w ater
during rainy days & non -rainy da ys for non -flushing purposes & treat ed
sew age for meeting the flushing w ater requirement . It is proposed t o have
Sew age Treatment Plant ( STP) for treatment of domestic sew age. Al so, it is
proposed t o have WTP for filtration & disinfection of rain w ater before it s
use. The w ater qualit y of the w ater available near to the si te i s collected and

9.13. To what extent the non -conventional energy technologies are utilized in the
overall energ y consumption? Provide details of the renewable energy
technologies used.
Ans.
The uses of non -conventional source
construction proje ct are as follow s: -
of
energy
in
the
proposed
a.
Solar Street Light: It is also suggested to use solar cell pow ered street lights w ithin the
proposed project si te for conservation of electricit y.
b.
Use of CFL/LED Lamps : The project has provision to use CFL / LED lamps / lights w hich conserve
less electricit y compare to ordinary l ights in t he common area like parks,
pavements & parking area etc.

Environment Management Plan
The Environment Management Plan would consist of all mit igation measures f or
each item wise act ivit y to be undertaken during the construction, operat ion and
the ent ire lif e cycle to minim ize adverse environmental impacts as a result of
the activit ies of th e project. It would also delineate the environmental monit oring
plan f or compliance of various environm ental regulations. It will state the steps
to be taken in case of emergency such as accidents at the site including f ire.

ENVI RONMENTAL MONITORI NG PL AN
The envir onmental monitor ing programmed is a vital process in the management Plan
f or any construct ion project. This helps in signaling the pot ential problems that would
result f rom the proposed project and will allow f or prompt im plementation of eff ective
corrective measures. The environmental monitoring will be required during
construct ion and operational phases.
Water Qualit y and Public Health
Since water cont aminat ion leads to var ious water r elated diseases, the project
author ities shall est ablish a procedure f or water qualit y sur veillance and ensure saf e
water f or the consumers. A detailed epidem iological study related to water borne
diseases shall be carried out and the data shall be complied f or ever y year in the
project area. This data would help the authorit y in f inding out the trends f or incidence
of water related diseases prev alent in the area, which would help them to take
suitable remedial measures f or reducing or er adicat ing the occurrence of these
diseases in f uture.
W ater qualit y param eters shall be monit ored bef ore and af ter the completion of the
project. Monitoring shall be carr ied out on quarterly basis to cover seasonal
var iat ions. W ater qualit y shall be analyzed by applying the standard techniques. The
parameters recommended f or monitor ing are as f ollows :
