ANNEXURE E IDENTIFICATION AND EVALUATION OF ENVIRONMENTAL ASPECTS AND IMPACTS Environmental Aspect An element of an organizations activities, Product or services

which can interact with environment Aspect which has or can have significant impact on environment is significant aspect Identify those over which organisation has control and has or can have influence. COMMON NOMENCLATURE Environmental Aspects Negative Impacts Generation of smoke / fumes Generation of Waste water Generation of hazardous waste Generation of solid waste Generation of noise Potential for fire Consumption of raw material Consumption of energy Consumption of resources Spillage / Leakage Positive Impact Recycle / Reuse / Recovery Conservation of resources Note : Not to be considered in only one to one relation Air Pollution Water Pollution Land contamination Land contamination & Depletion of resources Noise Pollution Environmental Damage Depletion of resources Depletion of resources Depletion of resources Bad Housekeeping & depletion of resources Impacts Impact Any change to the environment, whether adverse or beneficial, wholly or partially resulting from an organizations activities, products or services.

CONSIDERATIONS Inputs and Outputs (both intended and unintended) Current and relevant past activities, products, services Normal operating conditions Start-up & Shutdown conditions Existing set of operations Potential reasonably foreseeable or emergency situations Aspects related to goods or services

Examples: Sl. No. 1 2 3 4 Activity / product / service Running of DG Set Environmental Aspect Emissions to Air Generation of Noise Reuse of plastic racks / bins Environmental Impact Air Pollution Noise Pollution Conservation of resources Bad housekeeping Resource depletion Land contamination

Packing of Product in plastic racks/ bins Maintenance of Spillage of oil machine Chrome plated products Broken products/ used products

Activities may be routine or non-routine. EVALUATION OF ASPECTS / IMPACTS Scale Severity POC : : : Physical Boundary of an Impact Magnitude of an Impact Probability / Frequency of Occurrence A. Residence time of Impact or B. Control time of Aspect

Duration :

Score = S x S x P x D
Legal Compliance will be applicable in following cases
1. Product Lines & their quantities. 2. Sewage Effluent: 1. Quantity 2. Quality 3. Disposal 3. Trade Effluent 1. Quality 1. Domestic 2. Industrial cooling 3. Industrial processing and 4. Gardening purpose 5. Noise Monitoring (Locations) 6. Air Emission (Smoke going out by chimney or stack) 7. Consumption of Fuel for D. G. and inside operational vehicles 8. Hazardous waste: Types, Quantities & Disposal. 9. Use of Ozone Depleting substances like A.Cs, Refrigerators and other gas cooling equipment. 2. Quantity 3. Disposal 4. Consumption of water for :

DETERMINATION OF SIGNIFICANT ASPECTS.

Severity of Impact Rating Scale of Impact Environmental Damage Resource Depletion Probability of aspect occurrence

Duration Residence time of an Impact Control time of an aspect

Within work station

Slight Impact (Bad work environment / Housekeeping)

Depletion but controlled usage / wastage

Once a quarter to once a year or rare occurrence

Less than an hour

Less than 1 hour

Up to Departme nt

Minor impact (Discomfort / nuisance to people or work place)

Depletion having potential for better controls on usage/wastage

Once a month to once in a quarter

1 to 8 hours

Less than 2 hours

Up to factory building

Major Impact (frequent / repeated Concerns from interested parties)

Depletion with un-controlled usage / wastage

Once a week to once a month

8 to 16 hours

Less than 8 hours

Up to factory premises

Impact could lead to deviation from legal compliance

Business concern having potential regulatory and legal exposure

Daily / Continuous

More than 16 hours

More than 8 hours
