L&T has as a corporate has established and implemented the globally approved and well proven
Management Standards ISO 14001 :2015 which covers all its business functions and project sites.
The scope covers identification of all environmental aSpects related to project activities executed
at sites, associated Environmental Impacts with it and control measures to be in place to minimise
the impacts. This is achieved by a team of dedicated professional who focus on addressing the
issues right from the stage of design, planning followed by execution. A copy of the L&T ISO
14001 :2015 certificate is provided in Figure 3.
The EMS is supported by the highest level of management and structured according to the
following methodology — known as "PDCA" - to ensure continual improvement:
The elements of the EMS are consistent, thus ensuring that all parties involved in the Project have
a common, uniform understanding of the environmental management strategy.
All documents relevant to the Construction Environmental Management Plan (CEMP) shall be
controlled. The controlled documents include CEMP, procedures, audit reports, incident reports
and community complaints. The EHS Manager will be responsible for the periodical review of the
DCEMP and associated documents.
If any non-compliance is observed onsite, the Environment Manager/ Engineer will prepare the
corrective action plan immediately. The corrective action plan also needs to include preventive
measures for avoiding similar incidents.

2.2.3 Documentation
The DCEMP (Design & Construction Environmental Management Plan) will be documented as
follows:
0 DCEMP. monitoring data, training records, audit reports will be maintained at the site EHS
office so that they are identifiable and readily available for inspection at any time during
the project construction phase.
0 All records will be kept with the EHS Manager for a minimum period of project duration
from the monitoring date.
0 Copies of the DCEMP should be made available for reference at appropriate locations
within the construction site. All documents should be easily accessible for reference.
o The DCEMP has been based on project description available at the time it was prepared.
However, there may be changes after the award of the project. All changes! amendments
will be submitted for the Engineers review.
0 The current DCEMP will be the standalone document addressing the environmental
requirements of the project.
It is to be noted, it is the responsibility of L&T to ensure the proper implementation of the various
control measures outlined in the DCEMP for the duration of the construction activities associated
with the present project.
Typically, it is required to review and update the DCEMP periodically throughout the construction
activities/ prior to undertaking any new construction activity to ensure all impacts to the
environment are minimized. The implementation of environmental compliance will be assessed
during formal audits conducted by the L&T site EHS Manager/ Environmental Manager to ensure
adherence to and the effectiveness of the DCEMP. In addition, through regular project meetings,
where environmental issues and environmental performance will be discussed, it will be
discussed whether there are effective tools to check that the control methods and other
procedures provided by the DCEMP are ample to control or mitigate the environmental impacts
related to the project.
The DCEMP will be a live document. Procedures will be in place for the periodic review of the
DCEMP to ensure that the plan's contents remain applicable and effective. These reviews will
ensure that if changes in Project activities occur and the plan's contents or requirements will need
to be altered, the DCEMP will remain updated to reflect these changes. In order to achieve this:
0 The EHS Manager/ Environmental Manager will review and update the DCEMP as
construction progresses;
o The DCEMP will be reviewed and revised as and when required basis;
0 Environmental Manager will carry out regular inspections and audits. Additionally,
Environmental Manager or competent / trained Environmental personnel will conduct
inspection as per the EHS Inspection Checklist or an applicable observation form where
specific environmental issue is monitored.
0 The Environmental Manager or trained Environmental officers will conduct the inspection
as per Sample Environmental Inspection Checklist or an applicable L&T EHS inspection
form. The results of the inspections should be recorded together with the relevant action
items possibly identified as necessary during the inspections. The close out of each action
item should also be recorded.
0 Senior Management will review the DCEMP along with the associated plans during the
'Management review' meetings to ensure it is a 'live' document and that its contents are
correct and have been appropriately modified as circumstances dictate as and when
required.

L&T through its subcontractors will plan, locate and control work-site activities that have the
potential to generate dust or smoke so that nearby sensitive receptors are not adversely affected.
Sensitive receptors include but not limited to:
f Hospitals, schools. daycare facilities, elderly housing etc. These are areas where the
occupants are more susceptible to the adverse effects of exposure to polluted
environment.
/ Ecologically sensitive receptors like Wildlife sanctuaries, National Park, biosphere
reserves, or any other sites of archaeological and ecological importance.
Air quality at project site and surrounding area is likely to get affected by site activities and is the
major source of pollution. The major possible impacts are:
DG sets and emission from operation of Batchmix plant and other machineries at site. This
may increase the gaseous concentration in atmosphere.
Dust deposition on plant leaves can cause problem in photosynthesis ad affect plant
4-
growth, this may also damage the crop production and final yield.
Habitation in nearby areas may get affected due to dust generated at site
Dust deposition on machineries can also affect the performance of the machine,

inhaled, can cause serious health issues and breathing system disorders.
Odour generated from chemicals, sewage from labor colony, wastewater collection tanks,
f—
solid waste etc. will create nuisance to workmen and may also affect the health of the
individual, if exposed for longer duration.
Air pollution at construction site cannot be controlled completely, however, control measures shall
be implemented which can reduce the emissions and minimise the impact on environment. L&T
shall identify the sources of air pollution and implement necessary control measures to minimise
the pollution at site. The suggested mitigation measures include:
/ Water sprinkling shall be done on the moving path of transport and construction
vehicles at site as and when required.
f Loose material shall be provided with cover while transportation in order to prevent
dust generation due to wind blow.
Vehicle speed shall be limited to 20 km/hr or less to minimize dust emissions
'\
x’ Burning of waste shall be prohibited; it will be disposed in proper way to the waste
management authority.
V Waste generated at site shall be temporarily stored at site and shall be handed
over to licensed vendors for further treatment & disposal or shall be disposed off
in govt. approved landfill or dumping site.
V Tree plantation shall be done at site and shall be maintained regularly
V Construction machinery and equipment shall be regularly maintained to achieve
higher fuel efficiency resulting in lower emissions.
V The DG sets provided at labour camps and site shall be modern 06s with in-built
acoustic enclosures.
V Low sulphur Diesel shall be used in DG sets and construction machinery.
V All such approvals/consents as applicable to project activities shall be obtained
and consent condition shall be complied.
V Crusher plants, if required, shall be installed at a minimum distance of 500 m from
inhabitations & other sensitive receptor.
V Sewage and other waste generated from site office, labour colony and other
activities shall be temporarily stored at site in proper way and later shall be
disposed off to a designated site or to an approved vendor.
V Paints containing low VOC shall be used.
Air pollution is subject to type and nature of construction activities, few activities do not cause any
air pollution whereas other causes less or high levels of air pollution. Therefore, all such activities
shall be identified with regular coordination with planning and execution team. The priority shall
be given to locations where construction activities are taking place nearby any habitation areas,
standing crops and places of public interest and socially sensitive areas like hospitals, schools
etc, as in these areas, the air pollution is likely to cause more impacts compared to others.
Water is the key requirement for all construction projects. It is required in almost all activities at
site both in construction work as well as for human consumption. In addition, huge quantum of
water is required which can have an impact on the competitive users in nearby areas.
Proper planning is required for effective use and management of construction water in order to

Municipal Solid waste includes waste generated from human activity and includes biodegradable,
non-biodegradable, inert and recyclable waste. Labor camp and guesthouses for staff are major
source of MSW generation at the construction site. Unplanned practices can lead to serious health
impacts on worker working at site and in the nearby area and can damage the environmental
quality.
MSW disposal and management causes all types of pollution: air, soil, and water. lndiscriminate
dumping of wastes contaminates surface and ground water. In unplanned areas, MSW clogs
drains, creating stagnant water for insect breeding and floods during heavy rain. Uncontrolled
burning of MSW and improper incineration contributes significantly to urban air pollution. Health
and safety issues also arise from improper MSWM. Insect and rodent vectors are attracted to the
waste and can spread diseases such as cholera and dengue fever. Using water polluted by MSW
for bathing, food, and drinking water can also expose individuals to disease organisms and other
contaminants.
Therefore, it becomes necessary to manage the MSW by adopting adequate practices so that it
can cause no adverse impact on human health and to the surrounding environment.
Canteen waste
For proper management and handling of MSW, L&T shall undertake following practices:
J Dustbins shall be provided at labor colony and staff colony for collection of waste.
f Different coloured bins (2 nos.) shall be provided at canteen to carry kitchen waste
including vegetable/food waste and other waste
The waste collected shall be temporarily stored at site for not more than 3 days at site
and shall be disposed off through approved vendors or to a municipality bin or
approved disposal site
Regular inspection shall be carried out and records shall be maintained and submitted
to Environmental Manager for review and further course of action.
The typical list of solid wastes generated during the project includes but not limited to the following
waste materials: food waste, steel / metal, general waste, plastic, cardboard / paper, concrete,
etc.

1. Mare Chicose Landfill site
The Mare Chicose Landfill is in operation since 1997. Wi'th the construction of Cell 7, the l
total landfill area will be in the region of 48 Ha. An amount of approx. 420,000 tonnes are l
being landfilled annually and the amount of waste Iandfilled to date is about 6 million
tonnes.
The engineered landfill Works at Mare Chicose has been designed for the disposal of
waste in an environmentally safe manner. The essential elements providing these safety
are amongst others (a) suitable composite soil and plastic lining at the bottom of the landfill
and leachate collection and carting away to prevent contamination of the ground water (b)
abstraction of gas from the landfill for destruction of the methane, through flaring and
power generation.
[
Construction waste is likely to get generated at each site due to construction activities. It
includes waste from excavation, site clearing, demolition, debris and surplus material left
after the construction is over. L&T shall identify the activities that have the potential to
generate waste and work out measures for reducing, reusing and proper disposing of the
generated waste during construction stage. Following Principles shall be adopted by L&T for
effective management of construction waste:
Waste Avoidance/Minimization
The approach to waste avoidance and reduction will aim to minimize the production of waste
materials. The Waste Avoidance (or Reduction) Principles to be adopted are:
When assessing construction options, consideration shall be given to options that
have higher waste reduction than the alternatives (if economical to do so).
When purchasing for the project, consideration shall be given to either reduce or
avoid the generation of waste.
Aim to accurately estimate and order quantities of materials required.
Reuse of Waste:
Every effort will be made to ensure that waste material is seen as a resource and is used,
either on-site within the project or off—site by other persons or vendors. The waste reuse
principles adopted by L&T are:
Identifying materials for a reuse purpose.
Segregated materials at the source of generation to facilitate reuse if economical
and feasible to do so.
Storing, or reusing those items, either on-site or off-site, during the process if
economical and feasible to do so.
Reuse of waste material shall be done only after carrying out specific tests, if found
necessary and ascertaining the quality of waste material used.
Recycling of Waste:
Recycling is a process involving the collection and separation of waste materials, which
are transformed into useable products, either directly or indirectly. L&T shall undertake
following practices:
Erect signage to encourage the reuse and recycling of recovered waste material.
Identify materials for a recycle purpose.
Sorting materials into components to facilitate recycling.
Processing the material components for recycling, either within the project or off-
site if economical to do so.
Removal of Waste:
Waste removal requires the transport and disposal of waste material that cannot be reused
or recycled, either on-site or off-site. The following waste removal principles have been
adopted:
Regular collection / removal of construction waste will be implemented
The finally left waste material either shall be dumped in approved landfill or shall
be sent to licensed vendors for final treatment and disposal.
j-_ g.
0 Either all waste to be removed for disposal or trucks will transport reuse/recycle
off-site.
0 Local truck routes (preferably passing through less populated areas) will be chosen
for environmental acceptability and to minimize disruption to the residents along
the routes.
- Al trucks carrying loose waste materials shall be covered (if required) to ensure
that no waste is deposited on Public roads.
I'.
0 For disposal of excess cut and unsuitable (non-toxic) material left after
construction, L&T shall identify the location for disposal in consultation with the
community / concerned department or Shall get it disposed off through licenced
vendors
c Any toxic materials shall be disposed in existing landfill sites that comply with
legislative requirements.
0 Education shall be provided to both staff and construction labors on issues related
to management and handling of waste as well as the specific requirement for every
sites.
Electronic wastes can cause widespread environmental damage due to the use of toxic
materials in the manufacture of electronic goods. Hazardous materials such as lead, mercury
and hexavalent chromium in one form or the other are present in such wastes. Landfilling of
e-wastes can lead to the leaching of lead into the ground water. These products contain
several rechargeable battery types, all of which contain toxic substances that can contaminate
the environment when burned in incinerators or disposed of in landfills.
The best option for dealing with E wastes is to reduce the volume. In order to manage E-waste
in project, L&T shall:
4—- Reduce: Only use electronic equipment, Computers, Printers etc, which are in good
working condition and the life cycle, is more. This will significantly reduce the generation
of e-waste.
~4- Repair: L&T shall repair provide regular maintenance to all electronic equipment being
used by staff at site.
al— Reuse: after the completion of work at a particular construction site, such equipments,
like Printers, Computers, Scanners etc. shall be shifted to other project site, as per the
requirement.
1L Storage: any such waste generated at site, shall be temporarily stored, either at site or
at TFL and shall be sold to govt. approved licensed e-Waste recyclers for further
management and Disposal.
The sources of liquid waste for the Project have been identified which include but not limited to
waste water from concrete washout at the concrete batching plant, and sanitary wastewater from
construction workers.
The inappropriate, storage, handling and disposal of liquid waste could deteriorate soil and
groundwater quality. The wastewater from the batching plant could, if not handled properly,
increase soil and groundwater pH and turbidity.
Wastewater generated at site can be classified into following categories:
- Wastewater from washing activities within the concrete batching plant (mixer, truck
deliveries, etc.)
0 Hazardous waste (used oil and lubricants)
0 Sanitary waste — Black and Grey water from construction camps and site office
All liquid effluents generated during the project period shall be collected and stored temporarily in
underground collection tanks and later shall be disposed of in accordance with Environment
Protection (Standards for Effluent Discharge) Regulations 2003.
Proper storage and disposal of construction materials and hazardous wastes from the
construction site prevents the discharge of pollutants to storm drains and watercourses. To reduce
potential risks to project personnel, site and the environment requires implementation of best
management practices (BMP) for management & handling of hazardous waste at site.
During construction, L&T shall identify the activity that may result in generation of hazardous
waste. Hazardous waste generated at site shall be handled as per hazardous waste management
and Handling Rules. All measures shall be adopted to prevent any adverse impact on
Environment and to the people at site. The typical hazardous waste likely to be generated at site
are:
L&T shall undertake all adequate measures for management and handling of hazardous waste.

The increase on traffic movements associated with construction activities to the Project site could
potentially have an impact on existing road traffic. The increase in road traffic movements will be
associated with following:
o The delivery of construction materials and equipment by heavy trucks to the site;
o The transportation of waste materials;
0 The removal of construction material and other waste from the Project site;
- The trips of construction workers as well as other Project personnel (including office—based
personnel); and
o The delivery of water and diesel tankers.
Numerous vehicles and mobile equipment will circulate across the Project site during construction
works such as heavy—duty dumpers and transit mixers.
Traffic will be one of the important impacts related to the proposed project. The project will involve I
detour of traffic along the roads, speed restrictions of roads, and installation of new structures
close to the roads, increase in travelling time due to construction activities, etc. Management of
traffic during project construction shall be addressed as per detailed in Annexure 11: Traffic I
Coordination and Management, Part 2 and will ensure compliance with applicable design
standards and facilitate approval of required permits. I
Considering the above points and the size and time of the project, the traffic impacts are moderate
adverse and reversible once the construction phase is completed.
Discharges to Land
The use of contaminated materials for fill activities, the inappropriate disposal of hazardous waste
and the discharge of wastewater from concrete batching plant (that does not meet the standards
for discharge) could cause potential negative impacts on the ecological conditions of the site and
surroundings.
Wildlife (Fauna)
The project area is eminently urban, although there are several areas with natural habitats such
fi
as the crossed streams. The chances of wildlife-human conflict in this kind of urban setting is very
k
rare. If there is proximity of wildlife near project site, there will be impact due to construction
LL.
activities and there will be need for the relocation or preservation of wildlife.
fi
h.
Vegetation (Flora)
h
Based on the vegetation present on the proposed project location, the main impact is the removal
of present landscaping. The vegetation will be cut or transplanted to the new location. The other
impacts to the flora and fauna in the nearby environment along the metro express are the
disturbances from the construction activities, removal of vegetation in the area where camps lay
down areas and project offices are established. Overall the impact on the flora and fauna will be
minor adverse and for a short term. The transplantation and plantation of new vegetation will lead
to reversibility and increase in vegetation. Earthworks and other dust generating activities can
however pose soiling impacts to vegetation in nearby areas.
Indirect impacts on water quality and marine ecology such as sedimentation are not envisaged
from the discharge of storm water. Considering the distance to sea. there is no expected
interference with the marine environment and therefore no envisioned impact on marine ecology.
Any development activity has to be initiated only after obtaining clearance from Ministry of Arts
and Culture. Sites of archaeological and paleontological interest if included in the project area,
the elements of conservation significance has to be removed prior to land clearing activities and
has to be handed over to archaeological department. Although archaeological sites far away from
project site, the possibility of finding any archaeological artefacts cannot be ruled out. There is
therefore the possibility of disturbance and/or loss of unknown archaeological resources.
Visual impacts from the construction activities will be significant due to the presence of
construction machinery, cranes, lay down areas, etc. The visual impacts will be experienced from
personnel travelling in the roads and in nearby buildings, etc. However, the visual impacts will be
reversed upon completion of the project.
l.
The social impact from the construction activities are given below:
l.
Land use impacts will be loss of land from the proposed expansion and the other associated
facilities such as camps, project offices, and concrete batching plants. The loss of land from the
Metro Express will be an irreversible impact while the area used for project offices, camps,
concrete batching plants will be reversible after completion of the project. The impact on the land
use is long term and is considered as minor.
Preparation, use and after-care of land shall include the following:

Digging of Pits:
Tree pit shall be dug to a minimum of three weeks prior to backfilling. The pits shall be 60 cm r'n
diameter and 600m deep. While digging the pits, the topsoil up to a depth of 30 cm may be kept
aside, if found good (depending on site conditions), and mixed with the rest of the soil. If the soil
is normal it shall be mixed with manure, river sand shall be added to the soil if it is heavy.
Back Filling:
The soil back filled watered through end gently pressed down, a day previous to planting, to make
sure that it may not further settle down after planting. The soil shall be pressed down firmly by
treading it down, leaving a shallow depression all rounds for watering.
Staking:
Newly planted trees shall be held firmly although not rigidly by staking to prevent air pocket
forming around the stem and newly formed fibrous roots being broken by mechanical puling as
the tree rocks.
The main methods of stacking are:
a) A single vertical stake of 90 cm longer than the clear stem of the tree, driven 60 cm in to the
soil.
b) A single stake driven in at an angle at 45 degree and leaning towards the prevailing wind, the
stem just below the lowest branch being attached to the stake. Suitable for small bare- rooted
or ball material.
c) For plant material 3m to 4.5 m high with a single stem a three- wire adjustable guy system
may be used in exposed situations.
The end of stake shall be pointed and the lower 1m to 1.2m shall be coated with a non- injurious
wood preservative allowing at least 150 mm above ground level.
Planting:
Plant trees at the original soil depth, the bottom of the planting pit shall be covered with 5 to 10
cm of soil. Soil shall be placed around the roots, gently shaking the tree to allow the soil particles
to sniff in to the root system to ensure close contact with all roots and prevent air pockets. Back
fill shall be firmed as filling proceeds, layer by layer.

The proposed metro express project is at grade and there are limited structures along the project
alignments. Hence, the locations of groundwater extraction during dewatering are mostly at bridge
and structures locations. Groundwater monitoring will be undertaken during construction activities
according to regulatory guidelines.
Scope and frequency of reporting relative to ASS management will be by agreement with the
CMA but will, as a minimum, comprise an annual report capturing the key criteria. If an incident
occurs, this will be reported to the relevant statutory authority as per contingency measures.
CONTINGENCIES — To assist in the management of PASS/AASS present in the project area the
following contingency measures will be in place to reduce the risk of harm to the surrounding
environment:
0 Should the soil monitoring not satisfactorily identify areas of ASS then sampling and
monitoring methodology will be reviewed to improve effectiveness.
0 In the case of water quality parameters. should these parameters be exceeded then
monitoring frequency will be increased and samples will be submitted for laboratory
analysis as required.
0 incidents or other relevant occurrences will be reported to the relevant statutory authority.
An Acid Sulphate Soils Management Plan (ASSMP) will be developed and implemented to
manage impacts associated with de-watering discharge. Specific management measures include:
0 Site induction/training in the monitoring and management of de-watering discharge for
relevant subcontractors;
0 Monitoring program to assess dewatering discharge quality prior to discharge;
0 Treatment of de-watering discharge prior to discharge (if required).
Project design is to incorporate corrosion resistant design materials based upon field identification
of acid sulphate soils, if required.
If acid sulphate soils are present, excavated soil is to be treated during construction to prevent
acidic fluids leaching into surface water or groundwater.
A detailed information on acid sulphate soil will be provided as and when identified along the
project corridor.

Ozone
Ozone is a molecule comprising three oxygen atoms (03) compared to the oxygen gas that we
breathe which comprises two oxygen atoms (02). Ozone is a poisonous substance and if inhaled
*ttttt
in even trace quantities can cause death. Ozone does exist near the earth’s surface in what is
known as the troposphere (0 to Smiles or 0 to 15km. above the earth's surface). At this level ozone
is a troublesome pollutant consisting of photochemical smog and acid rain that can cause damage
Ed
However, ozone in the Stratosphere, i.e. the layer of air 6 to 25 miles (15 to 50 km) above the
earth’s surface, forms a thin shield known as the Ozone layer. This natural shield acts as a filter,
screening out almost all the harmful ultraviolet rays of the sun, which protects human, plant and
marine life from the UV radiation. Excessive exposure to UV radiation can lead to skin cancer,
cataracts, eye deformation in humans and animals, changes in the chemical composition of
several species of plants and damage to aquatic organisms and fish.

Ambient air quality refers to the background air quality levels in and around project site,
characterised by concentrations of various pollutants in the atmosphere. The presence of
air pollutants and their concentrations depends on the type of polluting sources, and other
factors that influence their flow and dispersion. During construction period, vehicular
emission and construction activities are the predominant source of air pollution. Dispersal
of pollutants depends upon factors like prevailing wind direction and other weather
conditions, height of the source, and characteristics of roadside plantation and presence
of other sinks along the project corridor.

4» Water quality monitoring (Both Ground Water & water used for drinking purpose)
4. Noise Ievels at sensitive receptors and ambient noise
Principle factors governing the locations of the sampling stations are the objectives, the particular
method of instrument used for sampling, resources available, physical access and security
against loss and tampering. Air quality monitoring shall be done in areas where pollution problem
exists or is expected due to construction activity at site i.e. mainly in dense habitation, community
areas etc.
The location selected monitoring need to be representative of the area, which shall reflect the
concentration of various pollutants and their variation in area nearby project site. In most
circumstances, the principal aim of monitoring is to ensure that the agreed mitigation measures
are being effectively applied, and the impacts upon the local community are minimised. In such
circumstances, monitoring at, or close to, the site boundary is recommended, as this will record
the highest dust emissions. It is also usually more convenient (for reasons of power supply,
security and access) to locate the sampling equipment within the construction site boundary.
Monitoring is also required to measure compliance with the air quality objectives. Under such
circumstances, it will also be more appropriate to site the monitoring station(s) close to the
sensitive receptors (where the air quality objectives/limit values apply) rather than directly at the
site fence line.
The monitoring station should be located at a place where interferences are not present or
anticipated. In general, the following conditions should be met:
1. The site should be away from major pollution sources. The distance depends upon the
source, its height and its emissions. The station should be at least 25 m away from
domestic chimneys, especially if the chimneys are lower than the sampling point; with larger
sources the distance should be greater (VVHO,1977).
The site should be away from absorbing surfaces such as absorbing building material. The
clearance to be allowed will depend on the absorbing properties of the material for the pollutant
in question, but it will normally be at least 30 m.
The Ambient Air Quality Monitoring shall be done at one location continuously for 24 hours and
results shall be analysed. Along the project corridor, the air quality monitoring shall be done at
quarterly intervals.
The Emission Standards is given in Table 21 and Ambient Air Quality Standards and
Measurement Methods Ambient is given in Table 22. The following standards are maximum limits
for the corresponding pollutant as established by Environment Protection (Standards for Air)

/ Demonstrate compliance with legal and other monitoring requirements including the water
quality criteria and/or targets for the project.
f Provide safe drinking water and meet other use based requirements
L&T shall carryout reconnaissance survey to identify all available water resources who are likely
to be impacted due to proposed construction. This survey will give an overview of the geographical
location of the water body to be monitored, its accessibility all kind of human influences to decide
appropriate sampling location and appropriate number of sampling locations. The survey may
include acquisition of following information:
Location map
Background information on water body
Construction activities around the water body
Identification of potential polluting sources or activities
Competitive users
Guidance on existing water quality as obtained from secondary sources
\\\'\'\\
The sampling site selection is generally linked with water quality monitoring objectives. For
example if the monitoring is carried out for judging suitability of water for drinking water source
then the monitoring site should be closer to the intake point whereas for outdoor bathing it should
be near bathing locations.
After understanding the factors affecting water quality thoroughly, it is necessary to select specific
reaches or areas of the stream or river to sample.
After assessment of the factors affecting water quality, L&T shall identify certain stretches of the
river or streams to sample. Accordingly, water quality monitoring sites will be selected keeping in
view following:
»/ All samples shall be representative, which means, means that the determinants in the
sample must have the same value as the water body at the place and time of sampling.
\/ Downstream locations from the construction sites shall be assessed.
f Samples shall be preserved, as required
Since, there is neither any use of ground water in project activity nor the discharge from
construction activity or workmen camp is being done on ground. in addition, there is no borewell
or any dug well or groundwater withdrawal sources falling along the project alignments. Hence,
there is least probability of the ground water contamination due to project activity. Therefore,
ground water quality monitoring may not be required for this project.
However, we will be continuously monitoring the tap water (source: CWA) which is being used at
various workmen colony and construction sites for drinking purpose.
The objective of water quality monitoring is to assess, if the construction activities is causing any
impact on the water quality of these water resources or not. Therefore, the monitoring location
has to be selected keeping in view the impacts likely to be caused by construction activities.
A reconnaissance survey is being carried out to identify the existing surface water bodies within
and nearby project area, who will be selected for assessment of water quality.
The details of all surface water quality (SWQ) monitoring locations identified for pre-constructl'on

Ground water quality monitoring shall be done in order to assess the existing water quality. In
addition, it will help in assessing the impact on water quality due to project activities by comparing
the results with the background water quality results.
As Groundwater is not used in project activity which can lead to its depletion or change in water
quality. In addition, there will not be any discharge of wastewater on any surface water bodies or
barren land, which can deteriorate the aquifer by percolation of wastewater. Therefore, this plan
may not be required for the project. However, if there any such complain or requirement by
stakeholders, L&T will do a ground water monitoring.
Drinking water is being supplied at site offices and to labour camp. L&T will ensure that the water
supplied for drinking meets the requirements as per prescribed standardsNVHO drinking water
standard and is fit for drinking.
The temporary offices, workers colony and other establishments drinking water quality monitoring
will be submitted along done on quarterly basis.
3.5.2.8 Sampling_Frequency
At all times, keep work areas free of hazards that could affect the Environment and worker's
healthl.
It will be accomplished by ongoing monitoring of the worksite by the EHS Manager and
site personnel.
Once a month, Supervisors or EHS Manager will conduct an Environment Inspection of their
areas along with client representative to identify and rectify any hazards. The procedures for these
inspections will be as follows:
0 Tour the individual worksite, observing work critically in terms of what is being done and
the Environment or physical conditions.
0 Any unsafe act/conditions observed will be documented on the checklists along with
corrective measures taken to rectify the situation.

Non-renewable energy, such as the burning of fossil fuels, contribute to local and regional air
pollution that negatively affect public health and the environment. Due to a limited supply of fossil

fuels globally, price variability is common. Conversely, renewable energy sources, such as solar,
geothermal and wind, do not degrade the environment when producing electricity. Renewable
energy sources use emerging technology that often have a higher first cost but provide reliable
onsite electricity

This sector is affected in many ways by climate change. Knowledge about short—term weather
and longer-term climate conditions are essential to adequately design and successfully manage
construction projects. When we can no longer predict weather or climate, then construction can
be heavily affected.
Climate change may affect the construction industry through a range of biophysical and
socioeconomic impacts. Long term climate impacts, such as sea level rise, coastal erosion, and
drought, and short term weather related impacts, such as high winds and flooding influence the
choice of site construction, building techniques, and materials for construction. The potential risk
of severe weather and climate conditions also influence planning and project completion
timelines.
Climate change increases the risks associated with embarking on construction project cycle.
Climate change can affect construction sector directly through weather and climate, but can
also generate indirectimpacts such as site programming, delay, extra expense, workers safety,
material cost. and delivery.
L&T will plan its work in a manner that minimises the impacts of climate change on the project
and continue to meet the needs of employer.
All trends prove that there is a changing in the global climate. Climate change has a strong impact
on the different phases of the project lifecycle. L&T will identify the localized risks of climate
change and preparing their works for the predicted hazards, which may include increasing
temperature, rainfall, wind, mean sea level etc. In order to limit the risks caused by the variations
in sea level, extreme weather events or the rainfall, following strategy will be adopted.
Change events such as sea level rise, drought, and increased incidence of flooding can greatly
influence the choice of site location. Sea level rise and flooding events can deter the
establishments of low lying or coastal areas.
L&T will set up the site offices, workers camps etc at suitable location, which can sustain the
effects of rainfall, rise in sea level, adverse temperature conditions.
The workers in the project are subject to higher risk from increased direct-heat stress,
dehydration and potentially skin related issues, as well as heavy rainfall. Higher temperatures
may restrict the work time hours. Impacts of climate on health and safety of the workforce may
necessitate taking precautions for workers, e.g., construction workers during heat waves.
Increased illness in the population more broadly may affect work attendance or health care costs.
In lower temperatures, workers must wear extra clothing that is often heavy and bulky.
Bulky clothing can restrict movement and increase the risk of accidents.
L&T will continuously assess the climatological conditions and working environment conditions
and provide necessary control measures so that the work is carried out un-interrupted and safe
manner. These includes:
Dusty conditions may lead to problems for equipment; the filters on vehicles and machinery both
inside and outside should be checked and changed regularly to prevent premature breakdowns.
Further, cold temperature make a problem with water cooled engines; like people equipment
can acta little sluggish when it is cold. Cold lubricants are not effective and operating equipment
with inadequate lubrication can cause accelerated wear of moving groups.
Most materials are susceptible to water, from concrete and mortar to paint because their strength
and workability are affected by additional water. Material with high water content and those that
depend on hydration or evaporation may not cure properly at low temperature and consequently
result in attaining lower strengths. Moisture can penetrate brick through capillary action and the
action of wind-driven rain, moisture can reach the interior and condense on interior walls, this
can lead to mould growth, deterioration of finishes and potential health problems for occupants.
The paintings works are affected by climate change both performance and application of
surface finishes.
In order to prevent any alteration to quality ad workability of equipment and construction material,
following measures shall be taken:
0 Storing of hazardous material in isolation and safe place under cover and concrete base.
0 Regularly do water sprinkling at locations, which are susceptible to dust generation, e.g
formation work, earthwork, transportation of plant and vehicles on approach road etc.
0 Proper maintenance of plant and machineries for better workability and improved life.
0 Storing cement and other construction material and chemicals under cover to avoid any
impact during heavy rain.
- Conducting regular quality checks at different stages.
- Avoid maintenance and other activities in open, if required; provide necessary spill control
measures to prevent soil and ground water contamination.
0 Avoid working in adverse environmental conditions like heavy rainfall, high wind or storms.
o Regularly cleaning the site office areas, material storage areas etc. to clear any vegetation
growth, which may affect the quality of materials and create unhygienic conditions.
The construction phase is highly weather dependent, which influence the site work
conditions, construction processes, and worker comfort. The effects of climate change cause
slope instability and damage to the embankments, approach road conditions etc. Temperature
is a critical issue in construction process. Concrete is one of the most widely used materials
and relies on setting and curing within certain temperature parameters. The optimum
temperature to cure concrete is 23°C, which gives 80-100% greater strength than concrete, which
has not been properly cured. Structures are designed to have at least a minimum resistance
to the loads that act on the structure and the climate change has consequences in
structure design process.
L&T will do regular tests and checks at all stages to ensure that the quality requirements are met
and quality objectives are achieved.
Sustainable building materials can be defined as materials with overall superior performance in
Terms of specified criteria. The following criteria is commonly used:
c Locally procured and sourced material
0 Transport costs and environmental impacts
0 Thermal efficiency
L&T through life cycle of project shall adopt use of sustainable material wherever feasible
without compromising the required quality of the product.
The key indicator of the environmental impact of building materials is provided by the concept of
‘embodied energy'. This is the amount of energy consumed to mine, manufacture and transport
a particular product.
The embodied energy of glass, steel, concrete blocks, bricks etc., or an entire house is
measurable. L&T will ensure that product with low embodied energy is used, this will be achieved
by:
0 Procuring the product locally to minimise transportation cost, manufacturing energy and
air pollution. This also creates local employment.
0 Procuring the material phase wise and as per requirement to avoid additional requirement
of storing, electricity, security, further transportation from storage area to site etc.
- Using demolition waste in filling low areas for preparation of bed, which will avoid
purchasing additional fill material.
0 Use of low VOC paints
L&T will implement control measures for better utilisation of resources and minimisation of waste
through following:
1. Using the concrete waste generated from demolition of buildings and other structures.
2. Minimising the waste generated at site offices and workers colony through awareness and
education to employees and staffs.
3. Segregation of waste material at source eg. metal waste, biodegradable waste, non—
biodegradable waste etc.
4. Properly collecting the waste for its further disposal and recycling through the vendors.
5. Fabricating onsite scrap material to manufacture frames, trenches and other tools required
at site.
L&T will continuously monitor the sustainability requirement of project by maintaining the records
of material procured, waste generated, material recycled and disposed.
L&T aims to seek ways to improve efficiency whilst also reducing overall potable water usage
throughout the project lifecycle. Where viable within the project the following initiatives will be
adopted:
0 Calculating per capita water requirement and developing facility for storage
0 Install water metering to monitor the water requirement
0 Monitor water consumption at regular intervals and develop a consumption pattern
o Recycled water used wherever feasible
0 Water treated and reused on site where feasible
0 Regular maintenance of approach road to minimize water required for dust suppression.
0 Creating awareness through training and education for efficient use of water among
workers and employees.
0 Inspecting water supply network system for leakage or any other damage.
0 Use of efficient fixtures to minimize wastage of water.

'Carbon footprint' is used as a generic synonym for emissions of carbon dioxide or greenhouse
gases expressed in C02 equivalents. The carbon footprint will be a measure for the estimation of
greenhouse gases including embodied carbon (GHG's) of all works. The sources of greenhouse
emissions can be separated into 3 scopes.
- Scope 1 (Direct Emissions Sources): all direct GHG emissions from sources under the
institution control. Included is the generation of electricity, heat, or steam from fossil fuels.
Within the institution, this included stationary emissions (natural gas/oil consumption),
I
owned vehicle fleets (machinery and automotive vehicles), fugitive emissions (leakage
from refrigerants in air conditioning equipment).
0 Scope 2 (Indirect Emissions Sources): GHG emissions from the generation of purchased
electricity consumed by an organization. Purchased electricity is defined as electricity that
I 0
is purchased or otherwise brought into the organisational boundary. Scope 2 emissions
physically occur at the facility where electricity is generated.
Scope 3 (Other Indirect Emission Sources): Is an optional reporting category that allows
I for the treatment of all other indirect emissions. Scope 3 emissions are a consequence of
the activities of the company, but occur from sources not owned or controlled by the
company.
