Sno. EDS Letter Remarks Date of EDS
1.NAProposal is returned due to the following shortcomings: • RO certified report is of January, 2017 which is more than two years old. Recent report of RO shall be furnished. • Plant lay out is not legible, not scaled and no legends are mentioned. Revised layout shall be furnished. • Water consumption per ton of paper production is reported as 56 m3 which appears to be on higher side. Water consumption may be reworked out. • Total wastewater generation is 64,300 KLD. Only 1000 KLD is reused and remaining 63,300 is discharged in to surface water body. Reuse of wastewater may be reworked out. • Project site is located at about 2 km from the Eco sensitive zone boundary of DandeliAnshi Tiger Reserve & Hornbill Conservation Reserve boundary as per draft ESZ MoEF&CC Notification. Dandeli Wildlife Sanctuary is located at 9 km (E). Permission obtained from Standing Committee of National Board for Wildlife (SCNBWL) for the existing unit shall be furnished. 13 Sep 2019
