Outline of hydro-geological report for obtaining No Objection Certificate for industries
1. Brief about the proposed project giving location details, coordinates, google/ toposheet maps, etc. demarcating the project area.
2. Groundwater situation in and around the project area, including water level, quality data and maps, and quality issues, if any. In the case of mines, groundwater conditions in both core and buffer zone should be described.
3. Details of the tubewells/ borewells proposed to be constructed. This includes the drilling depth, diameter, tentative lithological log, details of the pump to be lowered, H.P. of pump, tentative discharge of tubewells/ borewells, etc. Locations are to be marked on the site plan/ map. Location of proposed piezometers.
4. Details of Geophysical studies carried out in and around the project area. Groundwater resources computation of the block in which the project falls.
5. Approved Mine plan in case of mines and detailed dewatering plan in case of mine/ infrastructure dewatering projects.
6. Proposed usage of pumped water in case of mining/ infrastructure dewatering projects.
7. Comprehensive assessment of the impact on the groundwater regime in and around the project area highlights the risks and proposed management strategies to overcome any significant environmental issues.
8. Proposed measures for disposal of wastewater by industries drawing saline water.
9. Measures to be adopted for water conservation include recycling, reuse, treatment, etc. This consists of the firm’s water balance chart and details of water conservation methods to be adopted.
– Brief write-up along with capacity and flow chart of Sewage Treatment Plants / Effluent Treatment Plants / Combined Effluent Treatment Plants existing/ proposed within the project.
– Details of water conservation measures to be adopted to reduce/ save groundwater.
– Total water balance chart showing the usage of water for various processes.
10. Any other details pertaining to the project.
