The turbine sites are generally located away from human settlements and other sensitive receptors. The project equipment, plants and infrastructure meet good industry practices. The project is located in a moderate seismic hazard zone, which has been taken into account in the design of turbine foundations. The site is not located on any air traffic route and turbines are not proposed within any airport obstacle limitation area.

Though the construction sites are generally away from local settlements, adverse impacts on the local community during project construction and operation may include noise, dust, traffic, safety and security. The measures to minimize community health and safety risk have been discussed in the ESIA (including traffic planning, managing influx related issues, sourcing water from authorized vendors, appropriate disposal of sanitary wastewater and hazardous waste, appropriate accommodation and facilities for migrant workers)and the management plans (emergency, community development, stakeholder engagement). DJEPL and UUPPL will ensure that the O&M operator of the wind farm implements the mitigations measure detailed in these management plans. Traffic management measures like movement during day time, speed limits, restricting on honking, driver training in defensive driving etc as discussed in the traffic management plan will be undertaken. DJEPL and UUPPL will implement an Emergency Response and Preparedness Plan to deal with emergencies such as electrocution, fire, community safety incidents and natural disasters. Emergency numbers will be displayed at site (viz. nearest police station, health center) at the site for use by staff. 

The project is not expected to result in community exposure to disease either due to changes in land/hydrologic other terrestrial/air quality/hydrologic regimes or through large influx of migrant labor. DJEPL and UUPPL will nevertheless require the contractor to have measures in place to identify and mitigate risk of community exposure to disease due to influx of labor and any other community health, safety and security risks. Overall, road and access infrastructure in the area is good (the site is well connected by road network) and significant pressure on infrastructure is not expected due to the project. 

DJEPL and UUPPL will allow grazing activity in most part of the site. It will ensure that all transformers are fenced and cables insulated to avoid any electrical hazards. Access to agricultural fields, villages, communities and their networks will not be disrupted/hindered. The project will not hamper the activities or access to the temples/mosques in the project area.

The modeling results (including cumulative modelling) for shadow flicker suggest that four turbine locations are likely to result in shadow flicker impacts on nearby sensitive receptors (temple, habitation, school which are located within the distance of 100-300 mts). DJEPL and UUPPL will revisit the micro-siting of these four locations and shift them to other nearby areas so as to ensure no adverse impact on receptors. It will monitor risk of shadow flicker impact on all nearby habitations during operation stage; and in consultation with the affected households (if any), implement appropriate necessary mitigation to reduce or prevent shadow flicker including required provisions of curtains/blinds/screens and establish screening vegetation. Glint, blade throw, visual interference and Electromagnetic Fields (EMF) related impacts are not expected on account of the project. 

The project will employ security personnel during project construction and operation. These personnel will be engaged through an outsourced and authorized security agency. Security personnel will not be armed. DJEPL and UUPPL will require the security agency to implement procedures to ensure that: past records of security personnel employed are screened; security personnel have clear objectives and permissible actions laid out; security personnel are trained in avoidance of abusive behavior; security incidents are recorded, investigated and corrective action implemented; bona fide complaints against security personnel are investigated and appropriate disciplinary actions are implemented; and there is a grievance mechanism for aggrieved members of community or employees, in the event of a violation of the code for security personnel. Contractor oversight procedures of the company will ensure compliance to the aforesaid requirements
