PRESTIGE SMART CITY BIOLOGICAL ENVIRONMENT


PRESTIGE SMART CITY BANGALORE

This section mainly includes the detail study of the existing Flora and Fauna of the study
area. This part mainly comprises of the study of existing types of species, densities of species &
their distributions, rare and endangered species, commercially valued species etc. With the help
of this detail study, the impact of the proposed project on the biological environment will be
predicted and the proper mitigation measures will be adopted.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS

The proposed project site consists of eucalyptus plantations with few coconut trees,
tamarind trees and jackfruit trees which will be cleared during site formation. However a
beautiful landscape will be developed where native species of trees will be planted.

SOCIO-ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENT

Data on the demographic pattern, population density, educational facilities, medical
facilities, agriculture income, fuel, health status, transport and recreational facilities will be
collected and it will be analyzed for all the villages of the study area which will be depicted in
detail in the EIA report.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS

There will be anticipated impacts on the surrounding Socio-Economic Environment
during both the construction and operation stage of the proposed project. Following are the
some of the predicted impacts on the Socio-Economic Environment, which will be discussed in
detail in the EIA report.
  • Impact on local employment.
  • Impact on population.
  • Impact on Archaeological heritage if any.
  • Impact on health, educational and recreational facilities

MITIGATION MEASURES

Proper mitigation measures and compensation will be given if there would be any
implication on the Socio-Economic environment due to the proposed project activities.

SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Solid wastes from construction sector can be categorized into two phase i.e., during
construction & during operation, which includes construction & demolition wastes, municipal
wastes, Hazardous and E - wastes generated from the proposed project. The quantity of solid
wastes generated and their management is projected in detail in the Form 1 & 1A report.

ANTICIPATED IMPACTS

There would be anticipated impacts on the surrounding environment due to the solid
wastes generated from the proposed project. Following are the some of the expected impacts
due to the proposed project.
  • Emissions from the wastes.
  • Insufficient collection and segregation.
  • Lack of onsite treatment.
  • Difficult quantification.
  • Top soil erosion.
  • Impacts on human health.

MITIGATION MEASURES

  • Good practices in construction & demolition waste management.
  • Proper municipal waste management will be followed. Organic waste converter willbe proposed within the project site in order to process the generated organic waste.
  • Proper Hazardous and E- waste management
The latest amended standards specified by CPCB for air, noise and water quality will be
considered for the study of environmental data within the study area, which are applicable for
this category of development. The proponents will consider these standards in order to ensure

Prestige Smart City - The detailed EMP will be formulated to mitigate the residual impacts arises due to the development of the proposed project. Budgeting of the EMP will be included in the EIA report. In the EIA report, the planned EMP of the proposed project will include the following aspects of discussion in detail. Sewage treatment Plant (STP) of appropriate capacity will be designed for the wastewater generated from the proposed project and the wastewater will be treated to the tertiary level and after the treatment it will be reused for flushing of toilets, gardening etc. The treated sewage from the STP would be conforming to the stipulated standards. The spent oil from the DG sets will be stored in High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) drums in isolated covered facility and disposed off as per the Hazardous Waste  (Management & Handling) Rules 1989 (latest amendment 2008 and 2016). Spent oil from DG sets will be disposed off through registered recyclers only. Provisi

Prestige Smart City Bangalore BUILDING MATERIAL AND TECHNOLOGIES Energy efficient/ alternative Building materials and technologies will be used for the proposed project, which will reduce the total embodied energy of the building materials required for the construction. The details of the low embodied building materials and technologies used in the project will be detailed in EIA report. ENERGY CONSERVATION Proponents will adopt energy conservation measures, which includes the following methods. Use of non-conventional energy (Solar energy). Maximum use of local resources and skill. Reduce transportation. Use of Energy efficient devices. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT A traffic survey will be conducted before construction, during construction & after construction. In order to gather the information about the existing traffic load in the project vicinity. This section will include the following traffic studies. Traffic volume during construction phase. Traffic volum
