Total residential saleable area (excluding the EWS plot area) is 51207.49 sq.m and total non-saleable area is 42173.68 sqm. Hence, considering the max FAR of 2.1, the total built-up area of the project is less than 1,50,000 sq. m, hence it is not covered under provisions of the EIA Notification dated 14.09.2006..............
4. As per the feasibility report, the project proponent has proposed the installation of a STP of 500 KLD capacity based on MBBR technology, comprising Screen Chamber, Oil & Grease Chamber, Sewage Collection-cum-Equalization Tank, MBBR Reactors I & II and Sludge Drying Beds.............
The proponent has estimated water consumption and wastewater generation by assuming 15 persons per residential plot and 135 liters per person per day water use. Accordingly, about 470 KLD of wastewater will be generated. Out of this, 140 KLD of treated water will be recirculated for flushing and other purposes through a dual plumbing system and 60 KLD will be discharged into plantation/green area. The proponent has proposed 1.21 acres of plantation area (green park and roadside greenery within the premises), which is adequate to utilize around 60 KLD of treated effluent.
