LTD., Ahmedabad 1.3 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF TEXTILE BINDERS AND AUXILARIES BY NPL INDUSTRIES PVT. LTD. AT VILLAGE : BIDAJ, Dist. : Kheda, Gujarat 1.3 Brief Description of the Project The unit will be established at Village – Bidaj, District – Kheda, Gujarat State, which is in the vicinity to National Highway – 8. To g ratify t he market d emand o f textile b inders a nd a uxiliaries, M /s NP L Industries Pvt. Ltd. has deliberated to establish the manufacturing unit. The proposed p roject will b e es tablished in @ 9500 s q.m. area. For t he proposed project p ower r equirement will b e @ 2 00 K VA a nd w ill b e satisfied through local electricity grid of Madhya Gujarat Vij Company Ltd. Fresh w ater r equirement w ill be @ 1 63 KLD satisfied t hrough water distribution system of VITPL . Lignite will be used as fuel. The estimated cost of the proposed establishment is @ Rs. 1737 Lacs. 1.4 Justification of the Project Chiripal group is the leading group in textile s ector. S ince m any years the group is w orking in this s ector and ha s a g ood exp erience for the s ame. This group has many units in textile sectors and has intended to establish a new unit for manufacturing of textile binders and auxiliaries, which are very useful materials for textile products. Demand of the textile binders and auxiliaries has been raised from last few years in textile units and processing units. There are few manufacturers are available o f textile chemicals in India but a ll o f t hem ha ving their o wn limitations. So, there is better market for new manufacturers of Bopp Tapes. One of Bopp film plant is also there near this proposed area. So, it will also help us to grow in adhesives. Due to lake of skill and capacity, adhesives and p aint binders are b eing im ported from C hina a nd hence, there is good scope for these products. In Ahmedabad, there are numerous Textiles, Tapes and Paint units. The unit intends to fulfill raw material requirements of chemicals, binders, adhesives and auxiliaries with saving of various additional costs CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

AT VILLAGE : BIDAJ, Dist. : Kheda, Gujarat CHAPTER -2 PROJECT DETAILS 2.1 TYPE OF THE PROJECT Demand of the textile binders and auxiliaries has been rising since last few years in textile and processing units. Very few qualitative manufacturers are there in the m arket, hence with the in tention of better m arket supply and business development NPL Industries has planned to establish the unit. NPL Industries P vt. L td. intends t o serve the c ustomers t hrough p roduction of textile b inders, t extile a uxiliaries, a dhesive e tc. through inno vative technology. NPL is looking for service driven business, to work closely with customers t o m eet t heir s pecific need s a nd henc e, d elivering s atisfying and efficient solutions. The unit has a vision for the future, hence, it is working on developing niche products for industries other than textiles like paint, leather, paper, packing and surface coating. The u nit in tends to engage i tself in manufacturing o f s ynthetic a dhesives and a crylic b ased em ulsions f or the p aint a nd textile ind ustries in commitment to world class standards. The p roducts o f textile a pplications w ill b e m arketed w ith the na me o f “CHIRITEX” brand. It is also having application in finishing of fabrics f various types, bonding for flock powder on various fabrics, various effects like pearl and novel etc. The products having specific application in p aint industries will be marked under brand name of “CHIRIBOND” and will have qualities like fast drying, durability, r esistance t o w ashing, s crubbing, hig h g lass a nd water v apour permeability. There will be different products for external as well as internal applications and coatings with finishes like high sheen and matt. CONSULTANT : RAMANS ENVIRO SERVICES PVT.

They are organized in to na tural c ommunities w ith mutual dependencies a mong their m embers a nd s how v arious r esponses a nd s ensitivities to anthropogenic activities. Flora and fauna describes information on various species o f trees, p lants, s hrubs, c rops a nd na tural v egetation, a nimals, birds etc and endangered species. It may be highlighted that the s tudy area is quite rich in p hytodiversity as evident by number of families and plant species recorded; as many as 178 flowering plants belonging to 61 families recorded with 55 trees, 20 shrubs, 67 her bs, 19 g rasses, 8 c limbers, 1 0 a quatic plants a nd 1 f ungus a nd 2 aquatic f erns. B esides c ommon a nimals no t inc luded in t he list v iz., c ow, buffalo, cat, dog etc., The no. of wild animals are quite high which include small mammals a nd r eptiles. T he a vifauna is a lso q uite r icher w ith 6 0 species o f b irds w hich a re r esident and migratory birds.

Employment g eneration w ill contribute p ositively to the l ocal people due to proposed project. 41. As the amount of ground water to be withdrawn for proposed project is ins ignificant to the a mount w ithdrawn b y VITPL f or i ts textile p ark, there is no adverse impact anticipated on ground water quantity. 42. The anticipated quantity of effluent generated from the industrial plant is @ 57.5 K LD, w hich w ill b e treated in Treatment plant h aving p rimary and tertiary t reatment t o achieve t he quality of t reated effluent so a s to r ecycle / reuse in t he p lant. As the treated ef fluent w ill b e r eused / recycled in t he p lant, no d irect im pact o n a ny env ironmental s ink i s anticipated. 43.

The d ispersion m odeling was done a s per the g eneral g uidelines o f CPCB vide their publication “Assessment of Impact to Air Environment: Guidelines for conducting Air Quality Modeling”, 1998 and using ISCST-3 model o f U SEPA. F rom t he d ispersion model, it is observed t hat t he predicted ambient air quality due to proposed plant operations is well within limits specified by the CPCB. 47. Incremental increase within the study area due to proposed project will be as follow : a. Particulate matter : 0 – 1.97 µg/m3 b. SO2 : 0 – 1.77 µg/m3 c. NOx : 0 – 0.66 µg/m3 Thus i t c an be c oncluded t hat p roposed p lant operations w ill no t adversely i mpact the a ir q uality. Further, i t is em phasized t hat a ll t he emissions have to b e s trictly c ontrolled as m entioned in the m itigation measures and summarized in the Environmental Management Plan, to maintain ambient air quality within norms in the future. 48. The proposed project land has been taken on lease from the VITPL, for industrial p urpose, henc e, there w ill no t be a ny c onflict in c hange o f landuse pattern. So, there is no impact envisaged on existing land use pattern of the project site. 49. Placement a nd f ixation of hea vy m achineries a nd v essels w ill ha ve moderate impact on noise for particular time period only. There will be continuous g eneration o f no ise d uring plant o perations, o peration o f boiler having minor significant impact on the environment. 50. As the p roposed p roject is to b e d eveloped nea r the premises of industrial p ark, no s ignificant im pact a ssociated w ith d isplacement o f prevailing floral & faunal species is envisaged on surrounding biological environment due to proposed project activity. 9.8 EIA STUDY REPORT : MANUFACTURING PLANT OF TEXTILE BINDERS AND AUXILARIES BY NPL INDUSTRIES PVT.
