3 / Adequate drinking water and sanitary facilities should be provided for construction workers at site. Provision should be made for mobile toilets. Open defecation by the labours should be strictly prohibited. The safe disposal of waste water and solid wastes generated during the construction phase should be ensured. / Supply of drinking water and provision of sanitary facilities have been made available at the project site. Open defecation by the labors is strictly prohibited. Temporary toilets have been provided at site.
Sewage is discharged through septic tank constructed at site. Municipal solid wastes are regularly being disposed off.
4 / All the topsoil excavated during construction activities should be stored for use in horticulture/ landscape development within the project site / At this stage, all excavations have been completed. Most of the top soil which was stored at site has been used in landscaping.
5 / The project proponent shall ensure that the building material required during construction phase is properly stored within the project area and disposal of construction waste should not create any adverse effect on the neighbouring communities and should be disposed of after taking necessary precautions for general safety and health aspects of people, only in approved sites with the approval of competent authority. / The building materials are being stored at pre decided location within the project site and the condition is being complied.
Construction wastes generated from the project are mostly used within the project itself.
6 / Construction spoils, including bituminous material and other hazardous materials, must not be allowed to contaminate watercourses and the dump sites for such material must be secured so that they should not leach into the ground water and any hazardous waste generated during construction phase, should be disposed off as per applicable rules and norms with necessary approval of the Haryana State Pollution Control Board. / Construction material stored at designated places. Bituminous materials used for water proofing are stored on Impervious area. Hence no possibility of contamination of the Soil or Ground Water. Now, STP for the project is functional.
7 / The diesel generator sets to be used during construction phase should be of ultra low sulphur diesel type and should conform to Environment (Protection) Rules prescribed for air and noise emission standards / Diesel as available from the nearest fuel supply station is being used to run the DG Sets and DG Sets are conforming to Environment (Protection) Rules prescribed for air and noise emission standards. DG Sets noise and emission monitoring report is attached.
8 / The diesel required for operating DG sets shall be stored in underground tanks and if required, clearance from Chief Controller of Explosives shall be taken. / The permission from PESO has been obtained.

9 / Ambient noise levels shall conform to the residential standards both during day and night. Incremental pollution loads on the ambient air and noise quality should be closely monitored during construction phase. Adequate measures should be taken to reduce ambient air and noise level during construction phase, so as to conform to the stipulated residential standards of CPCB/ MoEF. / Ambient air and noise level monitoring was carried out and found within the prescribed limit of applicable standards.
Water sprinkling is done to control the fugitive dust emission.
Major noise generating activities have been completed as the structures of all the towers completed. Noise level monitoring report is enclosed as Annexure 2.
10 / Fly ash should be used as building material in the construction as per the provisions of Fly Ash Notification of September, 1999 and amended as on 27th August 2003. / Fly ash has been used in Ready Mix Concrete as building material in the construction. Fly ash bricks and blocks have been used.
