Acknowledgement The undertaken study targets at evolving a concept plan for retrofitting of Vapi Industrial Estate. The specific objectives include mapping of the strengths and weaknesses in general, identifying Design and planning interventions, extensive application of remote sensing and GIS to understand the prevailing conditions in the city. The baseline assessment required intense understanding of the site, especially from the perspective of the people who reside here to know the exact whereabouts of the urban area. Therefore, the participation of the local authorities and the residents has been given prime importance.

I am truly grateful to the members of all the noted authorities including, Vapi Industrial Association for the constant support whenever required, Center of Excellence for the local guidance and a co-operative and healthy work environment, Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation, Notified Area Authority and Gujarat Pollution Control Board for easy access to the documents and materials asked for. Special thanks are due to Col. Ravinderkumar Jain (Retd.), CEO of Vapi Green Enviro Ltd. and Mr. Mahesh Patel, Assistant General Manager of Center of Excellence.

This baseline assessment would not have initiated without the active leadership of Mr. Hitendra Thakkar, President of Vapi Industrial Association who was always eager and supportive to any number of discussions.

Regional Officer, GPCB, Mr. A.G. Patel played a key role in motivating us as well as industries to participate more and more in Environment Drive. I would also like to thanks Mr. Kamlesh Bhai for his active support in Plantation and Cleanliness Drive of 2017. Special thanks to GIDC for cooperating and providing details about existing Storm Water network in GIDC Estate of Vapi.

The consistent guidance of Mr. Raghu Babu Nukala, Programme Director, GIZ – SEIP has been of utmost importance, not only to this project, but also, to our individual knowledge enhancement! We are thankful to Mr. Nitesh Patel, Technical Advisor (SEIP) and Mr. Ishan Shah, Junior Technical Advisor (SEIP) for the local support and making access to all the authorities so easy and convenient. I would also like to thank Ms. Anshika Gupta, Technical Advisor, for her support throughout the internship tenure, for advising us at times of need and for all the guidance.

Last but not the least; I would like to thank our families and institutions, Center for Environmental Planning and Technology, Ahmedabad for giving us the splendid opportunity of working with this prestigious organization.

This report has been made within a time frame in which initially desk study was done with respect to various other case studies.

Undoubtedly, the work doesnt stop here. This baseline assessment will be useful for the further study, analysis and comparison of any sort at the Vapi Industrial Estate. According to the shift in time, new changes will have to be made along with the adaptations and amendments required.

GIS Based Information System

1.1 Geo Referencing Satellite Base-Map (2017) Earlier Base-Map which exist in Database of GIDC, Vapi was of 2015 and was improper since it was not covering whole GIDC Estate of Vapi as shown in Figure 1-1

Figure 1-1 Old Satellite Base-Map, Not covering GIDC Estate

In order to get better Satellite Imagery while working offline on GIS, High Quality Google Earth Satellite Imagery has been merged to form a larger mosaic of better Satellite Images of GIDC, Vapi, Gujarat as Shown in Figure 1-2

Figure 1-2 High Quality Satellite Images. Source: Google Earth

6|Page

Hence with the help of Adobe Photoshop, all images are merged seamlessly to form a complete image. In the end with the use of Manual Geo-referencing tool in GIS, Satellite Image is geo-referenced with the existing plan of GIDC Estate, Vapi, Gujarat. Refer Figure 1-3 for complete Geo referenced High Quality Satellite Imagery of GIDC Estate, Vapi.

1.4 Corrections in Attribute Table Various existing data in database were incorrectly input and if corrected can be utilized in a better way. One such example is attributes of drainage shape file. Where attribute setting for Field “Diameter” was text where as it consist of both number and text. As a solution all such corrections were made so that better results can be produced.

Figure 1-8 Data was entered in incorrect way in field “Diameter”

Figure 1-9 Data input has been corrected for better output in field “Diameter_mm”

1.5 Creation of Digital Model Elevation, 1 M and 5 M Contours One of the major feature in database of any region is Contours. Topographic Details of region is important for region like Vapi where monsoon rain are very frequent and causes flood like situation. It also plays an important role in identification of direction for Drainage, Storm Water and Drinking Water Network.

Step 1: Download Elevation Points by using online platform of “Zonum Solutions�, Elevation points were downloaded (Figure 1-10) and then these points were geo-referenced on GIS Software (Figure 1-12)

Figure 1-10 Selection of GIDC location

Figure 1-11 Elevation points are extracted

Step 2: Geo-reference extracted data on GIS Software

Figure 1-12 Elevation Points are Geo-referenced into GIS Software

1.6 Supervised Classification of Land Use by Satellite Imagery from USGS Satellite Imagery from Landsat can consist of 11 images with different bandwidths of light, whereas combination of these bandwidths can be used to create composite images such as 1) False Colour Composite 2) NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) 3) Supervised Classification 4) True Colour Composite

Figure 1-16 11 Bandwidths of Satellite Imagery from Landsat Satellite

1.6.1 False Colour Composite False colour composite scheme allows vegetation to be detected readily in the image. In this type of false colour composite images, vegetation appears in different shades of red depending on the types and conditions of the vegetation.

Clear water appears dark-bluish (higher green band reflectance), while turbid water appears cyan (higher red reflectance due to sediments) compared to clear water. Bare soils, roads and buildings may appear in various shades of blue, yellow or grey, depending on their composition. (CRISP, 2017) Implentation in Vapi : False Colour Composite will help it easily identify area covered by vegetation and builtup. It can be act as a raw details which can be used to calculate green cover of any region by using supervised calssification

Figure 1-17 False Colour Composite of GIDC, Vapi. (Yellow Boundary depicts GIDC Estate, Vapi)

13 | P a g e

1.6.2 NDVI (Normalized Difference Vegetation Index) At least three types of vegetation can be discriminated in this colour composite image: green, bright yellow and golden yellow areas. The green areas consist of dense trees with closed canopy. The bright yellow areas are covered with shrubs or less dense trees. The golden yellow areas are covered with grass. The nonvegetated (snow cover) areas appear in dark blue and magenta. (CRISP, 2017) Implementation in Vapi: NDVI can used to calculate the density of vegetation in the region

Figure 1-18 Normalized Difference Vegetation Index of GIDC, Vapi. (Red Boundary depicts GIDC Estate, Vapi)

1.6.3 Supervised Classification

Figure 1-19 Process to develop Supervised Classification from Satellite Imagery | Source: (GIS Geography, 2017)

Supervised classification is created by spectral signatures obtained from training samples from satellite to classify an image. By taking assistance from Image Classification toolbar, training samples are created to represent the classes we can extract or classify. Initially a signature file is created from the training samples, which is then used by the multivariate classification tools to classify the image. Below in Figure 1-20 Only BuiltUp area is classified and can be seen in black.

1.7 Storm Water Network Vapi Region being situated near the foothill of Western Ghats hence received a good amount of rainfall. For preventing GIDC from water logging and flooding like situation demarcation of Storm Water network plays an important role while planning a retrofitting master plan. With the help of personals from Gujarat Industrial Development Corporation and Notified Area Authority and dedicated 15 days of field visit help us to identify all the existing types of Storm water pipeline, its direction of flow, dimension and its built typology. Figure 1-23 is the scanned document of the on field demarcation process of storm water network.

Figure 1-23 Identification and demarcation of existing Storm Water Network in GIDC, Vapi

Simultaneously an effort has been made to digitize all the Storm Water Network on GIS while keeping all the attributes such as Type of Channel, Pipe Diameter, Width and Depth (If rectangular Channel), Flow in the Pipeline and its Length. Below is the parameters which were recorded while surveying the storm water network.

Environment Drive 2017, G.I.D.C., Vapi

2.1 Introduction World Environment Day is celebrated on 5th June every year as declared by the UN General Assembly in 1972.

The World Environment Day was established to mark the opening of the Stockholm Conference on the Human Environment. It is on the same day the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) was created. United Nations designed World Environment Day as the main tool to create worldwide awareness about hot environment issues. Main objectives of United Nations behind declaration of World Environment day was to give a human face to environmental issues, empower to become agents of sustainable and equitable development, promote to change attitude towards the environment and advocate partnership between each human being and each society to ensure a safe future. Every year a theme is chosen by UNEP to observe this Day. The theme selected for year 2016 is ‘Connecting People to Nature’.

The Environment day celebration in Vapi was declared as ‘Month-long’ celebration, where in various activities such as cleanliness, plantation, awareness, seminars etc. were carried out. However, the environment drive in Vapi was declared as ‘A never ending drive’ as environment needs continuous attention instead of just 1 month, wherein the valedictory function was organized at the end of month to monitor the progress of one month long drive and to further motivate people to keep up the task of Clean Vapi -Green Vapi. Vapi, which houses more than 1000 industries, set its own theme for ‘Environment drive’ to suit its regional context, i.e.

‘Vapi Banyu Vrundavan’ (Translation: Vapi turning into Vrindavan).

Figure 2-1 United Nation Logo for World Environment Day and Logo specifically for Vapi

2.2 Objective The objective behind celebrating ‘Environment drive’ was to make people of Vapi aware of the environmental degradation and drag their attention and take action for the same.

Also to raise awareness, capacity and political as well as social will to promote resource conservation and resource efficiency through waste prevention, by recovering any form of energy from waste and by increasing green cover in Vapi.

2.3 Strategy The main steps involved in planning the environment drive at Vapi included the following: a. b. c. d. e. f.

Mapping and Locational Identification the core issues Forming various committees - taking ownership of each issue to be solved Identification of potential solutions Discuss Methodology for Implementation of solution Monitoring of results Documentation of case examples

The identification of core issues was the first step to evaluate so as to have an understanding on the problem and its cause in the various industries in all the different existing phases of Vapi GIDC. Once this had been done, the identification of and research on appropriate solutions was carried out and an overview about the different possible measures was prepared.

22 | P a g e

The following core environment degrading issues were identified: a. b. c. d. e.

Inefficient waste management system generated from various industries Inefficient water recovery & reuse Waste water generated through numerous industries Sparse green cover to tackle the high pollution level Lack of awareness among the people regarding environment

2.4 Stakeholder Landscape It was important to understand various stakeholders associated for making the event successful and eventually ensure its replication at various such industries estates across the nation. Different stakeholders were associated, who had different interests and roles to play in the implementation of the month long environmental drive at Vapi. They were identified and integrated systematically in the processes to make the promotion of the environment-drive as effective and efficient as possible.

The key stakeholder was the Vapi Industries Association (VIA) that played most important role in the processes. VIA brought to the table the representation of the larger industrial community and ensured that all the relevant industries are invited and participate in the consultation process. GIZ and the Gujarat Cleaner Production Centre (GCPC) played a very important role in providing technical support and supporting the steering and other processes.

GPCB being locally present had a very good understanding of the industries, cleaner production measures and were experienced in taking up interventions. GPCB provided the regulatory perspective from the utility of environmental friendly techniques and greatly encouraged the participation process from the industries. As international knowledge support, the German Agency (GIZ) supported the activity.

The major role of various stakeholders was as follows:







Key Stakeholders: To lead the steering processes and initiated discussions for application of the approach in other key industry sectors in Vapi and Technical support, training, support to steering processes. Apart from this primary stakeholders supported the steering processes and facilitated various steps used in methodology, viz. consultations with industries, finalization of solutions etc.

Primary stakeholders: Facilitation of interactions within various industrial sectors and initiated discussions for application of the approach in other key industry sectors in Vapi. Also regulate mechanisms for application of processes on ground. Another role of secondary stakeholder was the replication of the successful pilot cases.

Secondary stakeholders: The roles of secondary stakeholders include technical services, technical input on best available techniques (BAT), information input and documentation of the work done.

2.5 Processes With the task in hand, it was not enough to be “doing things right” (i.e. to be efficient) but also to be careful about “doing the right things” (i.e. effective). Towards this, well strategized processes were put in place. These included steering processes, core processes and auxiliary processes.

2.5.1 Steering Processes VIA (Vapi Industries Association), GPCB (Gujarat Pollution Control Board) and VGEL (Vapi Green Enviro Ltd.) and their office bearers lead the steering processes, which mainly included:    

Process management, including support to core processes and auxiliary processes.

Collation of industry specific information and on implemented measures Negotiating on and decisions making to support participation of industries.

Enhancing cooperation among partners and stakeholders.

24 | P a g e

GIZ played a very crucial role in guiding and supporting the steering process. GPCB facilitated the process of participation of the industries by using social media forums like WhatsApp to invite industries and took a lead role to initiate various activities during the drive.

2.5.2 Core Processes The core processes that were the essential inputs of the project to the development goal, were unique in nature and delivered a direct contribution towards achieving the project objectives. The core processes included technical processes, participatory processes, regulatory and learning regulatory processes. Brief details are given below.

2.5.2.1 Technical Process Various activities that were undertaken as part of the initiative are as following: In line with the adopted approach, GIZ with VIA took baseline survey and/or situation analysis to identify exact problems to be tackled in the selected industry sectors. Based on this, appropriate tasks were planned and implemented in selected areas in various phases, to demonstrate and generate knowledge on innovative and financially solutions to keep environment clean and green.

Studies were then taken up. Detailed study was taken up by GIZ as part of which a ‘Pre-Environment drive’ survey was done of complete GIDC area. This was done to map the areas which needed cleaning and greening activities. Also the extent to which greening and cleaning is required was mapped.

Summary (GIS)

4.1 Introduction Environmental pollution is the major problem associated with rapid industrialization, urbanization and rise in living standards of people. The problems relating to disposal of industrial waste, particularly waste disposal.

The GIDC Industrial Estate at Vapi in Gujarat has variety wastes generated. There is a need to identify the wastes generated, document the present practices of waste production, carrier and disposal (management) and assess if there is a need for improvement.

4.2 About the Work Done           

Base Map Creation from Google Earth Geo-Referencing Base Map Correctly Create Contextual Map of GIDC Estate, Vapi in context to Gujarat State, Valsad District and Pardi Tehsil Geo-Reference the boundary of Vapi Municipality area to that of GIDC Estate Developed the Digital Model Elevation which helped in creating 1 Metre and 5 Metre Contour Maps Developed False Colour Composite, NDVI, True Colour Composite by using Landsat Satellite Imagery from USGS Data Calculate the land use by the help of remote sensing, supervised classification is created by using Landsat Satellite Imagery form USGS Data Survey for identification of Storm Water Network Creating proper attribute and maps for Storm Water Network Identification of Location of Chimneys and research on Wind Direction/Speed in Vapi Region Identification of Debris Location and Geo locating them on GIS Map for ease of Cleanliness Drive

Maps are generated with the help of Arc GIS 10.1 which are shown in this report.

Kindly refer Table of Figure for Maps created

4.3 Methodology For the purpose of the study the following methodology has been followed: 1. GIS based Base map is prepared according to data available within existing database, i.e. one printed map dated 20th August 2004 for identification of plot boundary, excel file dated 2015 for plot ownership, type of land use and type of industry without phase number. Both the files conflicted with each other at majority of the points.

2. The infrastructure (water supply and road network) data has been obtained from previous year files (last year intern work).

43 | P a g e

4.4 Limitation The limitations and problems faced during the study: 1. GIDC and NAA is not willing to show support by providing existing data and maps of services being layed.

2. In the process of preparing the base map, the major problem was to geo-reference the GIS file which is about 5m deviated (resolved).

3. Data regarding infrastructure facilities like water supply lines, sewerage lines have been obtained from has been obtained from previous year files (last year intern work).

4. The secondary source of data have some flaws like the faulty demarcation of plots and phases, typing errors, misleading lines/polylines etc.(corrected) 5. The plots have undergone several sub-divisions and addresses are not uniform. There was not any clear boundary and plot number of new plots formed which leads to a thin scope of discrepancy in terms of plot numbers and their corresponding addresses.

6. This work/study has been done in a very short period of 16 weeks along with other works i.e. technical support to VIA for environment drive which includes coordination between various stakeholders, preparation of posters, press notes for drive and media, site survey includes both pre and post during environment drive, documentation of drive, data collection from various authorities etc. Thus it requires more detailed and exhaustive study in future to make this report absolute and conclusive.

7. Lack of willpower from industrial sector.

4.5 Future Scope of Work As the present work is just the basic ground towards the development of GIS based information system for Vapi Industrial Estate and for a very short span of time, there lies a scope of further detailed study.

Work can be further expanded into the following areas: 1. DMIC and DFC Alignment 2. Road Junction Analysis 3. Location of amenities in GIS map. There is immediate requirement to hire expert who can first gather information from relevant resources then verify it with ground reality.

4. Expert Data Base should incorporate details like phase number, plot number, nature of industry, technique of production quality and quantity of waste produced, management of waste, industry road width, drainage network i.e. Size of pipe, Material of pipe, MSL (Mean Sea Level), condition of pipe etc. in VIE (Vapi Industrial Estate).

5. Based on phase number & plot number unique ID is given to every plot i.e. P (Phase no: 1, 2, 3 or 4) _Plot number.

6. Location of different industries in GIS map showing the following attributes:  Type of industry  Type of product produced  Type of technique/method used for production  Waste Management (handling) techniques 7. Classification of waste generated:  Quality of Waste (i.e. hazardous, non-hazardous, energetic, inert etc.)  quantity-wise 8. Waste Disposal and Collection points identification.

9. Identification of parking space to park heavy vehicles.
