The main objective of noise monitoring in the study area is to assess the present ambient
noise levels in near main gate due to various construction allied activities and increased
vehicular movement. A preliminary reconnaissance survey has been undertaken to
identify the major noise generating sources in the area. Ambient noise monitoring was
conducted at 3 locations at the boundary of the project site as given in Table 2.4.

Methodology of Noise Monitoring
Noise levels were measured using sound level meter.
Noise level monitoring was carried out continuously for 24-hours with one hour
interval starting at 06:00hrs to 06:00hrs next day. The noise levels were monitored on
working days only. During each hour Leq were directly computed by the instrument
based on the sound pressure levels. Monitoring was carried out at ‘A’ response and fast
mode.

Groundwater Quality Monitoring Locations
Keeping in view the importance of groundwater as an important source of drinking
water to the local population, sample of ground water was collected from the project site
for the assessment of impacts of the project on the groundwater quality.
Water sample was collected from the project site. The sample was analyzed for various
parameters to compare with the standards for ground water as per IS: 10500 for ground
water sources. The details of water sampling locations are given in Table 2.6.

Methodology of Groundwater Quality Monitoring
Sampling of ground water was carried out on November 2014. Samples were collected as
grab sample and sampling forms are filled in as per the sampling plan. The preservative
sample were properly added to preserve as per standard operating procedures (SOP) and
stored immediately in ice boxes, which were ensured for appropriate temperatures.
Sample for chemical analysis was collected in polyethylene carboys. Sample collected for
metal content were acidified to <2 pH with 1 ml HNO3. A sample for bacteriological
analysis was collected in sterilized glass bottles.
Soon after the completion of sampling, chain of custody sheets for the samples are filled in
and then they were transported by road to Vardan Enviro Lab, Gurgaon for further
analysis. Proper care was taken during packing and transportation of samples. All the
samples reached the central laboratory within the holding times for different parameters.
After ensuring the same the samples were forwarded immediately for analysis.
The samples were analyzed as per the standard procedures specified in 'Standard
Methods for the Examination of Water and Wastewater' published by American Public
Health Association (APHA) and CPCB. The analytical techniques and the test methods
adopted for testing of ground water are given in Table 2.7.

Discussion on Groundwater Quality in the Study Area
The ground water quality in the project area is observed to be alkaline in nature with total
alkalinity reaching up to 280.00 mg/L at project against desirable limit of 200 mg/L,
however, alkalinity is higher than the permissible limit of 600 mg/L. Total dissolved solids
in the ground water is 1348.00 mg/L at project site against prescribed limit of 500 mg/L.
However, remaining parameters are within the CPCB prescribed limits.

SOIL MONITORING
2.4.1
Soil Monitoring Locations
The objective of the soil monitoring is to identify the impacts of ongoing project
activities on soil quality and also predict impacts, which have arisen due to execution of
various constructions allied activities. Accordingly, a study of assessment of the soil
quality has been carried out.
To assess impacts of ongoing project activities on the soil in the area, the Physicochemical characteristics of soils were examined by obtaining soil samples from selected
points and analysis of the same. Single sample of soil was collected from the project site
for studying soil characteristics, the location of which is listed in Table 2.8.

Methodology of Soil Monitoring
The sampling has been done in line with IS: 2720 & Methods of Soil Analysis, Part-1, 2nd
edition, 1986 of American Society for Agronomy and Soil Science Society of America. The
homogenized samples were analyzed for physical and chemical characteristics (physical,
chemical and heavy metal concentrations). The soil samples were collected in the month
of November 2014.
The samples have been analyzed as per the established scientific methods for Physicochemical parameters. The heavy metals have been analyzed by using Atomic Absorption
Spectro-photometer.
