Sno.	ADS Letter	Remarks	Date of ADS
1.	ADS Reply Letter	Sir, plz find the attachment for reply to ADS sought on 09/08/2023	18 Aug 2023
2.	NA	Dear Sir, Please refer the ADS reply and it is noted that PP has not revised the EIA/EMP Report with new baseline data. The title of EIA/EMP report still mentioned Year 2020. Please submit the complete updated EIA/EMP Report as sought by the EAC.	09 Aug 2023
3.	ADS Reply Letter	Dear Sir, We are herewith submitting Reply to ADS issued by Ministry vide 14th EAC (Industry-I) meeting held on 29th September 2022 (Agenda Item No. 14.4). Kindly grant us the EC at the earliest.	03 Aug 2023
4.	NA	Deliberations by the Committee 14.1.1 The Committee noted the following: 1. M/s. Real Power Private Limited obtained ToR on 20.07.2017 and baseline data was collected during 1^stOctober 2017 to 31^stDecember 2017. The EAC noted that PP applied for EC on 02.09.2020. The proposal was initially considered in the EAC meeting held during 28-30^th September, 2020 wherein the Committee deferred the proposal on account of technical shortcomings. However, PP has submitted the ADS reply after almost two years i.e. on 8^th September 2022. As per the Ministry’s O.M. vide F. No. IA3-22/10/2022-IA.III [E 177258] dated 08.06.2022, para 6 (iii) states that the baseline data shall not be more than three years old at the time of submission of application for consideration of EC. Since, in this case though at the time of submission of EC application, the baseline data was valid, however, PP has consciously delayed the proposal by delayed submission of ADS reply by Two Years. The EAC opined that baseline data is almost 5 years old at present, and during this period the baseline scenario at the project site might have changed. Thus, EAC is of the view that for validation of the old baseline data, fresh baseline data of 3 months shall be collected and compared with the old data and accordingly revise the Report. 2. The project proponent informed during the meeting that due to change in management of the company there was a delay in submission of ADS reply. However, the project proponent did not report the same to the Ministry at the time when change in management of the company took place. In this context, PP shall upload/submit the documents in this regard. 3. The nearest habitation to plant is Atarra Village which is at distance of 0.65 km in East direction. Project Proponent shall submit environmental safeguard measures that will be undertaken to minimise the impact on the habitation on the inhabitants. 4. Maniyari River is very close to the project site at distance of 50 m. Also, Agar River – 5.5 km and Shivnath river – 8.0 km also exists within 10 km radius of the plant site. A robust and full proof Drainage Conservation scheme to protect the natural drainage and its flow parameters; along with Soil conservation scheme and multiple Erosion control measures shall be prepared and submitted. PP is advised to plant locally grown tress along the banks of Maniyari river for 1-2 kms which is just 50 meters away from the plant side. This may be helpful to prevent soil erosion and increase soil fertility and also helps in flood control. 5. PP shall undertake village adoption and formulate Village Adoption program consisting of need-based community development activities, shall be prepared to develop them into model villages. PP shall submit commitment alongwith name of the villages to be adopted. Action plan submitted to address the PH issues and socio-economic development of the nearby villages shall also be revised and submitted. Recommendations of the Committee: 14.1.2 In view of the foregoing and after detailed deliberations, the committee recommended to defer the proposal due to certain deficiencies in the proposal and sought requisite information on the points referred at para no. 14.4.24 above. The proposal shall be considered after submission of requisite information.	07 Oct 2022
5.	ADS Reply Letter	Respected Sir, we are here with submitting the reply to ADS sought	08 Sep 2022
6.	NA	Proposal deferred for want of additional information.	15 Oct 2020
