Vehicles hired for construction are in fine condition with updated PUC certificate to control air emission.

Thick green belt of the adequate width and density, as per plan submitted, shall be raised along the periphery of the plot so as to provide protection against particulates and noise. At least 2 rows of trees should be planted all around the periphery, wherever possible.

Green belt with native species of plant (as per submitted plan) has been developed along the periphery to control particulate matter and noise

Rain water harvesting, as per plan submitted, for roof top run-off and surface run-off should be implemented. Before recharging the surface run-off, pre-treatment must be done to remove suspended matter, oil and grease. The depth of the bore for rainwater recharging should be kept in consultation with DJB. (such as sewage, trade effluent, backwash of treatment unit, floor washing wastewater etc) should be discharged into the rainwater harvesting structure in order to avoid groundwater contamination.

Rain water harvesting system as per submitted plan and environmental clearance condition will be developed for operational phase.
