Development Authority. The development and construction of proposed Commercial project will be
done as per applicable norms/byelaws. The proposed project will rather enhance the ecology of the area
as about considerable portion of area has been kept open and green.
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).
Soil Type:
The development of soils in the district can be ascertained to different erosional and depositional
agencies. Different morphological units have been bestowed with different types of soils. The soil range
from pure sand to stiff clays, with combinations of these two extreme litho units. The pure sand is called
Bhur. Clay is called Matiyar. When the sand is mixed with clay in equal proportion the soil may be
termed as Dumat or loam a good agricultural soil.
Seismicity: According to the Indian Standard Seismic Zone Map, the area under study falls in ZoneIII as per the Seismic Zones in India, 2002. Suitable seismic coefficients in horizontal and vertical
directions will be adopted while designing the structures.
1.5
Will the proposal involve alteration of natural drainage systems? (Give details on a contour map
showing the natural drainage near the proposed project site).
There will be no alteration of natural drainage system. The area is fairly plain, however, due to change in
land surface to paved, the runoff during rains will increase.
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).
A very little cutting or filling will be required as the site is fairly plain and devoid of any water body or
low laying area.
Construction of basements and foundations will require excavation of earth material, which will be
40,407c.um. Top soil (fertile) (i.e. 1,212 c.u.m) will be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping,
green turfing and horticultural development. 100% of total excavated earth will be reutilized into
backfilling, leveling and road construction. Figure 5 illustrates the management strategy of the excavated
soil for the proposed project.

1.9
Whether construction debris & waste during construction cause health hazard? (Give quantities of
various types of wastes generated during construction including the construction labour and the
means of disposal)
Wastes which will be generated during the construction phase include the following:
Excavated Materials From Earthworks & Foundation etc.:
Construction will require excavation of earth material, which will be approx. 40, 407 m3. The top soil
(fertile) (i.e. 1,212 m3) will be stored separately and reutilized for landscaping, green turfing and
horticultural development. The sub-soil layers will be reutilized into backfilling, leveling and road
construction.
Construction waste (e.g. wood, packing material, scrap metal, concrete and empty cement bags):
Wood - It would be reutilized in construction of sitting areas in the parks.
Packing material - The packing material from the project site will be used in composting.
Scrap metal - It would be given away to authorized recycler.
Concrete - Concrete will be reutilized in construction of amenities for the parks and will be kept over the
empty cement bags covering the excavated earth thereby preventing the displacement of bags.
Empty cement bags - The excavated earth materials will be covered by empty cement bags that will
prevent the soil from being blown away with air.
Hazardous wastes generated by servicing of DG sets and waste paints (e.g. vehicle and plant
maintenance/servicing):
The hazardous wastes would be handover to authorized recycler.
Municipal wastes generated by site workers:
This will be stored in bins and used in composting. Municipal wastes comprise of food wastes, packaging
and waste paper. Generation rate of solid waste from labour camps will vary from place to place due to
habits and living condition. Approximately 0.15 Kg/capita/day of municipal waste may be expected
during construction phase. The domestic waste water generated from construction camps shall be
disposed off through septic tank/soak pit. Some amount of debris, cuttings and construction materials
may be observed at construction site. However the quantity of their waste materials would be very small
and limited up to the construction site only. Contamination by these wastes would be negligible and
would be collected time to time during construction phase. The impact on soil during construction phase
will be marginal and reversible in nature.
2. WATER ENVIRONMENT
2.1 Give the total quantity of water requirement for the proposed project with the breakup of
requirements for various uses. How will the water requirement met? State the sources & quantities
and furnish a water balance statement.

Water Requirement, Source and Water Balance
A provision of 45 lpcd (liters per capita per day) for commercial water requirements shall be made. This
is in accordance with the Manual on Norms and Standards for Environmental Clearance of Large
Construction Projects, Ministry of Environment and Forests, Government of India, (page 65), 2013. The
water consumption comes out to be 45 lpcd for commercial after installing the following water saving
practices:
 Using low flushing systems - using efficient water saving toilets with dual flush systems, thus
saving about 50 percent of water.
 Sensor based fixtures - these reduce about 0.4 liters per flush.
 Low flow faucets along with other water saving devices resulting in 25 to 50 percent water.
 Low flow shower with flow rates at 7.5 lpm @ 80 psi
 Other pressure reducing devices to reduce from 80 psi to 65 and 50 psi thus reducing water
consumption by 10 – 25%

2.8 Give details of the water requirements met from water harvesting? Furnish details of the facilities
created.
Water harvesting pits have been proposed for augmentation of ground water. The rainwater collected
from the rooftop will be conveyed into the rainwater harvesting system consisting of desilting-cum-filter
chamber, oil and grease separators and bore wells for recharge into the groundwater. RWH will be
initially done only from the roof top. Runoff from green and other open areas will be done only after
permission from CGWB. No demand will be met from the process.
Analysis of the observed data on intensity duration of rainfall of past records over a period of years in the
area is necessary to arrive at a fair estimate of intensity-duration for given frequencies. The longer the
record available, the more dependable is the forecast. In Indian conditions, intensity of rainfall adopted in
design is usually in the range of 15 mm/hr to 30 mm/hr. The intensity of precipitation for design of
drainage scheme has been taken 30 mm/hr.

2.9 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?
Maximum storm rainfall of 30 mm has been assumed on the past experience. No adverse impacts are
envisaged due to proposed project on the run off characteristics of the area as adequate arrangements
have been made to trap the rainwater and suitable storm water drainage system has been provided. The
runoff from the area will increase during rains due to increase in paved area.
FORM – 1A
Page 15
Proposed Mall/Multiplex “Emerald Mall” Plot No CP138, Sector-D1, Kanpur road Yojna , Alambagh,
Lucknow
During the post-construction phase due to change in land surface, the runoff will increase during rains.
The runoff from the project shall not be allowed to stand and create water logging or enter into the road
side or nearby drain. Adequate measures shall be taken to collect such run off and either shall be reused
or stored in recharging pits. Suitable garlanding drain as per the existing contours of the plot will be
developed. There is no landscape change planned. The project will not aggravate the problems of
flooding or water logging in any way, as the topography is plain.
2.10
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).
There will be no impact on the groundwater by the proposed project as no ground water extraction is
proposed. Fresh water shall be supplied through groundwater source.
The rain water collected from roof top will be sent for ground water recharging through 14 nos. of
RWH pits. 334 m3/hr of water is available for ground water recharge which will be recharged through
RWH pits. A major part of the area is under green or open land which will percolate naturally and
augment the ground water. Therefore, most of the rain water will be directly infiltrated through these
open/green areas. Hence no adverse impacts are envisaged due to the project on the ground water
quality and the level. Maximum recharging of the underground aquifer will be done.
Ground water status:
Ground water in phreatic aquifers, in general, is colourless, odourless an slightly alkaline in nature. The
specific electrical conductance of ground water in phreatic zone ranges from 527 to 3318 µs/cm at 250
C. Conductance below 750 µs/cm at 250 C has been observed in a 44% of the analysed samples, here
as, above 2250 µs/cm at 250 Sl. No. C in 11% of the samples. It is observed that the ground water is
suitable for drinking and domestic uses in respect to all constituents except for total Hardness &
Nitrate. High concentration (>600 mg/l), total hardness in found in 11% of the samples with a
maximum value of 990 mg/l from Bhojpura. Nitrate is found in excess of permissible limit (>45 mg/l)
in 22% of the samples analysed with a maximum of 168 mg/l from Bhojpura. High nitrate values may
be due to return irrigation flow from agricultural fields where indiscriminate use of fertilizer is being
done. The Arsenic content has not been detected in the ground water of the district.
2.11 What precautions/measures are taken to prevent the run-off from construction activities polluting
land & aquifers? (Give details of quantities and the measures taken to avoid the adverse impacts).
FORM – 1A
Page 16
Proposed Mall/Multiplex “Emerald Mall” Plot No CP138, Sector-D1, Kanpur road Yojna , Alambagh,
Lucknow
Surface water quality may be affected with the discharge of the runoff from the project site. The impact
on the surface water bodies could arise from the increased soil erosion from excavated site, only to
increase in the suspended particles and turbidity of runoff water from the site. However, this impact will
be temporary in nature and would be observed in first rain only and as soon as the rain is over, excavated
soil at site would be stabilized therefore the surface water quality during rains will be impacted
marginally for very short duration. Plantation of trees will start from construction phase. No runoff will
be disposed outside the project boundary except in rare conditions to municipal drains.
2.12 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).
Since the existing topography is amiable to surface disposal, a network of storm water pipe drains has
been planned adjacent to roads. All building roof water will be brought down through drain water pipes.
Proposed storm water system consists of pipe drains, catch basins and seepage pits at regular intervals for
rain water harvestings and ground water recharging. The storm rainfall of 30 mm/hr. has been considered
for designing the storm water drainage system.
2.13 Will the deployment of construction laborers particularly in the peak period lead to unsanitary
conditions around the project site (Justify with proper explanation).
Sewerage and solid waste will be generated from temporary labour camps on site, which will be
temporary in nature during the initial construction phase. Wash bins will be placed near the camps for
solid waste collection; the camp’s solid waste will be properly disposed as per MSW Rules 2000. The
sewage will be disposed through soak pit and septic tanks. Therefore during construction their will not be
any unsanitary conditions around the project area.
2.14 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).
Sewer network shall be used for collection of sewage. The collected sewerage shall be treated in STP.
For conservation of water, treated water will be recycled for various uses including flushing, horticulture,
Diesel generator sets cooling, and other low end uses. The surplus quantity will be utilized for irrigation
by the nearby agricultural fields till the availability of municipal sewer line; necessary permission will be
taken from the concerned authority for the same.
The STP capacity shall be as per requirement of recycled water with ~20% higher capacity for future use.
Thus the STP capacity will be 90 KLD.

Total waste water generated is approximately 240 KLD and the STP sludge shall be used as manure for
horticulture.
2.15 Give details of dual plumbing system, if treated waste is used for flushing of toilets or any other
use.
For conservation of water, the treated water will be recycled from the STP for diesel generator sets
cooling, flushing, horticulture etc. Dual plumbing shall be used for recycled water using different color
pipes.

3.1
Vegetation
Is there any threat of the project to the biodiversity? (Give a description of the local ecosystem
with its unique features, if any).
All the waste (liquid/solid/gases) will be treated and managed as per rules. The proposed project would
not have any impact on the biodiversity. Some of the flora-fauna found in the region is listed in the
below:
Flora of the study area (Secondary sources): Ashoka, Chitwan, Scholar Tree, Neem, Kaner, Amaltas,
Gulmohar, Peepal, Bottle Brush & Bottle Palm etc.
Fauna of the Study area (Secondary sources): Mostly domestic animal’s viz. dog, cat, horse, donkey,
hyna & cattle etc.
Avifauna: Common Crow, Chukar Partridge, Duck, Hornbill, Snow Partridge & Rain Quail etc.
3.2
Will the construction involve extensive clearing or modification of vegetation? (Provide a detailed
account of the trees & vegetation affected by the project).
There are no significant vegetations, except very small vegetation like Parthenium and Doob grass.
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).
A combination of evergreen and ornamental flowering trees, palms, shrubs and ground covers will be
planted along the sides of the roads and in open spaces & set back area within the complex.
Landscaping is an important element in altering the microclimate of a place. Proper landscaping reduces
direct sun from striking the buildings and heating up building surfaces, prevents reflected light carrying
heat into a building from the ground or surface, creates different airflow patterns and can be used to
