2.	NA	The Committee noted that the well locations are falling in the Bherjan-Borajan-Padumoni Wild Life Sanctuary. Further, 18 wells are falling within in 10 KM of ESZ of the sanctuary. It was also noted that the wells/blocks are within 10 km of the National Park. The Committee is of opinion that Forest Clearance/ Wild Life Clearance/ ESZ Clearance should be obtained from the concerned regulatory authority. The Committee was of the view that, if any blow out/leakage, happens as that happened in Baghjan, it shall lead to disastrous effect on the environment, people and associated biodiversity. The Committee has also observed that the soil quality of the region is degraded and is reported to be acidic due to drilling activities and contamination of ground water. The Committee was of the considered view that the project proponent needs to submit a detailed report on the impact of Baghjan blow out in the study area, proposed action plan for remediation, and the proposed safety and emergency action plan. The Committee after detailed deliberations, desired for following information/inputs in respect of the following: (i). Details of court cases along with current status. (ii). Detailed safety and Emergency contingency plan. (iii). Status of recommendations from the Standing Committee of NBWL. (iv). Details on the assessment of Biodiversity of the area, as suggested by the Hon’ble Supreme court of India. (v). Soil and ground water quality assessment to understand the impact of drilling activities in the region, if any. (vi). Details of impact of Baghjan blow out in the study area. (vii). Damage assessment of the blow out, action plan for remediation. The proposal was accordingly deferred* for the needful.*	29 Nov 2020
