The EAC after detailed deliberations observed that compliance submitted by PP on earlier observation are inadequate and there is no technical justification. PP needs to provide justification based on technical study/data and facts in view of certain restriction imposed by NGT. Values shown for impact (modelling result) of road transportation in terms of pollutants are very negligible and inaccurate. The committee also noted that there is no concrete plan for development of railway siding and PP has to first prepare DPR for railway siding. Therefore, EAC was of view that Ministry shall take necessary action on consultant i.e. M/s Vimta Labs for inconsistencies in collection and analysis of air quality data. In view of the incomplete and inadequate submission of information by PP, the EAC desired further deliberation would be required for compliance on below mentioned observations.

(i)            As per the NGT’s Committee recommendation, carrying capacity of the site area shall be carried out for suitability of the proposed project.

(ii)         PP shall submit Traffic impact assessment based on fresh data considering transportation activity of other companies.

(iii)       PP shall carry out feasibility study vis-à-vis with right of way w.r.t. Forest and technical justification for not using water from Kurket River.

(iv)        PP shall explore the usage of wastewater from nearby power plants for washery operations.

(v)          Impact of washery on nearby agricultural land and flora-fauna. Proper flora management plan needs to be prepared.

(vi)        Proper Air pollution mitigation measures at site with installation of Continuous Ambient Air Quality Station during operation of project.

(vii)      Adherence to the compliance to Issues raised during Public Consultation with the timeline and budgetary provision.

(viii)    Fund allotment for greenbelt is too less and more fund should be allotted for developing peripheral plantation.

(ix)        PP shall submit the action plan with timeline for development of railway siding.

 

The proposal was deferred on above lines.
