GUJARAT ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT INSTITUTE (GEMI) VADODARA
REGIONAL ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT ASSESSMENT OF ONE OF THE
SENSITIVE INDUSTRIAL AREA OF GUJARAT
INTRODUCTION :
Gujarat is one of the higly industrialized states of the country and most of
the small scale industries are located in GIDC Estates. Some of the estates are
exemplary and successful in development of industrial infrastructure. However,
the environmental impact of this development needs to be collectively reassessed
to make it sustainable in future with a scope of further development.
Comprehensive Regional Environment Impact Assessment is a need of the time.
It is proposed to carry out Regional Environment Impact Assessment (REIA) of
the particular sensitive industrial area as per the priority and magnitude of
the prevailing pollution problems. The REIA would identify the long term and
short term steps necessary to be taken for safeguarding the environment and also
for future development of the area on sustainable basis.
This will also be useful for environmental benchmarking, be as a
developmental tool and key to resource optimization.
SCOPE OF WORK :
- Source inventerization and mapping.
- Baseline data compilation.
- Impact analysis.
- To plan and ask for financial contribution by Regional Industries.
following activities are to be carried out
- Industrial and topographical mapping of the area.
- Assessment of generation of Air, Water and Hazardous Waste of the area.
- Assessment of natural resources of the area (in terms of assimillatory
capacity).
- Short term and long term Environment Management Planning of the area.
Duration of the activity initially would be one year and may
extend as necessary.
