#snsinstitutions #designthinking #snsdesignthinkers
An EIA is a systematic process to identify, predict, and evaluate the environmental, social, and health impacts of a proposed thermal power plant (coal, gas, or oil-based) and to design measures to mitigate adverse effects before project approval.
Objectives of EIA
Assess environmental consequences of the project
Ensure sustainable development

Comply with environmental regulations

Support informed decision-making

Promote public participation

2. Description of a Thermal Power Plant

Includes:

Type of fuel (coal/gas/oil)

Plant capacity (MW)

Land requirement

Water requirement and source

Technology used (subcritical, supercritical, ultra-supercritical)

Auxiliary facilities (ash pond, cooling towers, transmission lines)

3. Baseline Environmental Status

Study of existing conditions in the project area (typically within 10–15 km radius):

a) Physical Environment

Air quality (PM₂.₅, PM₁₀, SO₂, NOx)

Water quality (surface & groundwater)

Soil characteristics

Noise levels

Meteorology (wind speed, temperature, rainfall)

b) Biological Environment

Flora and fauna

Forests and biodiversity

Endangered species (if any)

c) Socio-economic Environment

Population

Land use

Livelihoods

Public health

Cultural and archaeological sites

4. Identification and Assessment of Impacts
a) During Construction Phase

Dust and noise pollution

Land degradation

Waste generation

Displacement of people (if applicable)

b) During Operation Phase

Air pollution (SO₂, NOx, CO₂, particulate matter)

Thermal pollution of water bodies

Fly ash generation

Water consumption
