1.05 MTPA) at Village Telighana,
Tehsil Rajgangpur, District Sundergarh in Orissa. Existing plant is spread over
45.16 acres of land. The proposed expansion requires an additional 25.69 acres
of land to have a total land area of 70.85 acres. The Govt. of Orissa has
already allotted 25.69 acres of land to M/s SCL through the Nodal Agency i.e.
IDCO. The acquisition process will be
shortly completed. Green belt has been developed in an area of 6.45 acres and
will be developed in 25.42 acres. The study area comprises of
Protected forest and Reserved forests like Udarama R.F, Khatang R.F, Rajabasa
R.F, Mahabir R.F, Mundalasa R.F, Luhuraberni R.F, Dahijira R.F, Amirchua R.F,
Panchra R.F, Lampi R.F, Bangala Paharh R.F & Mahalmunda R.F. Flora & fauna study has been
carried out in the core and buffer zone separately. There are no endangered
& endemic flora and fauna species in the study area. There is no wildlife
sanctuary or national park and elephant corridor in the study area. List of
flora & fauna has been authenticated from the concerned authority. Total
estimated cost of the project is Rs 400.00 Crores and Rs. 20.10 Crores &
Rs. 5.22 Crores will be earmarked towards capital cost & recurring
cost/annum for environmental pollution control measures.
Limestone will be procured from captive mine at Khatkurbahal spread over an
area of 72.439 ha at a distance of 12 km. Fly ash will be transported from
power plants of Rourkela area through bulk tanker. From bulk tanker it will be
pumped to fly ash silo for 10 days requirement. Use of coal in kiln as main
fuel has been considered for the plant. Similarly chemical gypsum will be
transported from Paradeep area in covered trucks. Gypsum already contains 8-10
% moisture which will be stored under a covered shed for 15 days requirement.
Clinker will be produced from the plant itself and will be taken from silo to
cement mill for manufacturing of cement. Solid waste of steel plants i.e. slag
and also solid waste of power plant i.e. fly ash will be used to manufacture
Pozzolona Slag Cement and Pozzolona Portland Cement.
The proposed plant will be provided with necessary
air pollution control devices like Electrostatic Precipitators (ESP), bag
filters, dust catchers, etc. to control dusts and gases and also limit emissions
within the prescribed standard. Total 12 nos. of stacks are envisaged to
install at various sources for dispersion of pollutants into the atmosphere.
The
existing plant including colony requires approx. 100 m3/day water
which is presently met from the existing three tube wells. Proposed expansion
requires additional 600 m3/day of water. In total, the water demand will
be 700 m3/ day after expansion which will be met from underground
water. The permission for withdrawal of 750 m3/day of ground water
is obtained from the concerned authority. The wastewater treatment and
management plan is developed with zero discharge concept.
The project is based on dry process of cement
production. With the bag filter and other effective pollution control measures,
the dust generated can be re-used in the process in different stages. The solid
waste generated from the Sewage Treatment Plant will be used internally for
green belt development.
The existing power requirement is 3.5 MVA and an
additional power of 16.5 MVA is required for the proposed expansion. The power will
be sourced from the State Electricity Board. DG sets of 3.67 MVA will be used
as power back up.
Public hearing/Public
consultation meeting was conducted
by the Orissa State Pollution Control Board on 5th October, 2010. The public
hearing proceedings record that “the
proceedings indicates an unhealthy and non-conducive situation to have unbiased
public opinion. The provision of the Act could not be achieved under such a
chaotic atmosphere and the panel decided to close the activity there itself.
However, the representation from the resistant group and pro project expansion
group are annexed for review of the competent authority”. The project proponent
informed that the land for proposed expansion was allotted by IDCO and no
private land has been acquired. After examining the representations received,
it was observed that 554 people have supported the project and some have
opposed the project. The committee felt that the opposition to the project is
more due to the apprehension that the lands of the villagers will be acquired.

levels to 0.5 kg/ton of paper and board. The waste water discharge is < 100
m3/ton of paper.
It was suggested that all the treated wastewater should be stored and
used in the premises itself whenever required. PAs expressed difficulty in
acquiring 2–2.5 sq.km area required for storage of all the wastewater generated.
Treated wastewater after meeting the CPCB norms is adopted and will be
implemented in future too. Odour has been controlled after adoption of
environment friendly RDH cooking system in the year 1998.
Fly ash will be used in the brick manufacturing and construction
activities or supplied to cement industries. About 80% of lime sludge will
be reburnt in Lime kiln plant to generate lime. The rest amount will be
disposed in nearby low-lying area. Dust generated from coal yard will be
suppressed by dust suppression system. Waste fibre from paper machine will be
used for making low grade paper. Waste pulp from waste water treatment plant
will be used for card board / fired in boiler. All the new equipments will be
designed for low noise level at source.

Proposed
Asbestos Cement Sheet Plant (200 MT per day) at
Trilokpur Road, Village Kheri, Tehsil – Nahan, District Sirmaur, Himachal
Pradesh by M/s Vardhaman Roofings
Private Limited - regarding Environmental Clearance
The project authorities and their
consultant (M/s Ascenso Management & Consulting Services Pvt. Ltd, New
Delhi) gave a detailed presentation on the salient features of the project and
proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken as per Terms of
Reference (TORs) awarded during the 1st meeting of the Expert
Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) held during 20th - 21st July, 2009 for
preparation of EIA/EMP Report. All the Asbestos Fibre Sheet Manufacturing
Cement Plants have been listed at Sl. No. 4(c) of Schedule of EIA Notification,
2006 as Category ‘A’ and have to be appraised at the Centre.
M/s Vardhaman Roofings Private Limited have proposed for the Asbestos
Cement Sheet Plant (200 MT per day) at Trilokpur Road, Village Kheri, Tehsil –
Nahan, District Sirmaur, Himachal Pradesh. Total land available is 3.42 ha and green
belt will be developed in 35% of total area. No rehabilitation and resettlement
is involved. No forest land is involved in the project site and No national
parks/wild life sanctuary/reserve forests are located within 10 km radius.
Total cost of the project is Rs. 30.00 Crores.
Rs. 98.00 Lakhs is earmarked towards environmental pollution control
measures. Rs. 1.50 Crores is allocated towards Corporate Social Responsibility
(CSR) activities.
Raw
asbestos fiber (5,400 MTPA),
Cement (24,000 MTPA) and Fly Ash
(16,000 MTPA) will be used as
raw materials. Raw material will be transported by covered trucks. A dust free
technology known as “Hatshek Process” for production of Asbestos Cement Sheets
would be used. Entire production process to be implemented is automatic and
closed system. In the production process, asbestos Fiber of different grades
will be imported and received in pressure packed condition in impermeable bags
in pelletized form. The fibre pellets are transported to the factory in closed
containers through the trailer trucks. The fiber bags will be slit open in
closed automatic bag opening device. The fiber after passing through the lump
breaker will be collected in the attached blender or Turbo Pulper where some
water will be added to maintain the process in wet condition. The bag opening
device & the edge runner mill should be kept under negative pressure by
tapping it on to a Bag Filter Type Dust Collector with pulse jet which again is
connected to a Hydro-static Precipitator, connected to a blower driven by a
motor. The delivery point of the blower is connected to the Air Wet Washer and
through to a stack. Particles collected in hydro-static precipitator should be
periodically recycled in wet form. Cement will be received and stored in
go-down, from where it is conveyed to the Cement + Fly ash Mixing Tank via
screw conveyor. Fly ash is received & stored in closed go-down and should
be pneumatically conveyed. The slurry is transferred to Storage Tank where it
is under constant agitation. From here the slurry is taken to the Dilution Tank
(or Distribution Tank) and diluted further using recycled process water. The
differential hydrostatic pressure thus created between the sieve cylinder and
Vat causes an asbestos cement film to be formed and picked up by the sieve
cylinder which in turn gets transferred to the moving felt. The gradually
thickening slurry due to filtration is constantly diluted in the vats. The
excess water in film is dehydrated by vacuum system. The sheets are inspected
on-line, stacked on steel pallets and water cured for a minimum of 12 to 15
days before being finally inspected and then dispatched.
Total water requirement of 81 m3/day
will be sourced from ground water. No wastewater will be generated in the
process. A STP of 6.5 KLD capacity would be installed. The treated water would
be reused. No effluent will be discharged outside the premises and ‘Zero’
discharge will be adopted.
All the solid waste generated will be
recycled in the manufacturing process, thus there would be no solid waste
disposal. HDPE fiber bags will be shredded
in the shredder unit attached to the bag opening device and sent along with the
opened fibre through the screw conveyor.
900 KVA of power will be required for
the project and sourced by HPSEB Acoustic enclosures will be provided to the
two (2) D.G. sets of 250 KVA each installed to meet the emergency power
requirement during the grid failure.
Public hearing/Public consultation
meeting was conducted by the Himachal Pradesh State Pollution Control Board on 15th
October, 2009. The Committee deliberated upon the issues raised during the
public hearing including, implementation of effective air pollution control
measures, implementation of developmental projects in nearby areas for the
society, employment to locals etc. and have been incorporated in the final
EIA/EMP report.
After detailed deliberations, the
Committee recommended the proposal for environmental clearance subject to
stipulation of following specific conditions along with other environmental
conditions:
i. The project proponent should
adhere to the prescribed BIS standards and laws regarding use and handling of
asbestos, safety of employees etc. Raw materials like asbestos fibre and cement
should be transported in closed containers. Asbestos fibre should be brought in
pelletized form in impermeable bags and under compressed condition.
ii.
Only Chrysotile white asbestos fibre should be used. Blue asbestos
should not be utilized as raw material in the manufacturing process.
iii.
There should be no manual handling/opening of asbestos fiber bags.
The company should install fully automatic asbestos fiber debagging system
before commissioning the unit.
iv.
Fugitive emissions should be controlled by bringing cement in
closed tankers, fly ash in covered trucks and asbestos in impervious bags
opening inside a closed mixer. Dust collectors should be provided to Fibre
mill, Bag opening device (BOD), Cement and Fly ash silos to control
emissions. Bag filters
followed by wet washer should be provided at automatic bag opening machine, bag
shredder, fibre mill and to cement silo to collect the dust and recycle it into
the process. Fugitive emissions generated from hopper of Jaw crusher and
Pulverizer should be channelized through hood with proper suction arrangement,
bag filter and stack.
v.
The Company should comply with total dust emission limit of 2
mg/Nm3 as notified
under the Environment (Protection) Act, 1986. Adequate measures should be
adopted to control the process emission and ensure that the stack emission of
asbestos fibre should not exceed the emission limit of 0.2 fiber/cc. Asbestos fibre in work zone
environment should be maintained within 0.1 fibre/cc.
vi.
Bags containing asbestos fibre should be stored in enclosed area
to avoid fugitive emissions of asbestos fibre from damaged bags, if any.
vii.
Proper house keeping should be maintained within the plant

The project authorities gave a
detailed presentation on 22nd February 2011 in the 19th
Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) on the salient features of the project
and proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken along with the
draft Term of References for the preparation of EIA/EMP. All the Standalone
Cement Grinding Units are listed at S.No. 3 (b) under Category ‘B’. The
proposal should have been appraised by SEIAA/SEAC but since the project site
falls within 10 km. radius of Asansol, a critically polluted area, the proposal
is appraised at the Central level.
M/s ACC, Damodhar Cement Works, have
proposed to enhance its existing grinding unit capacity from 0.525 MTPA to 0.6
MTPA which will be achieved by replacing existing old separator of cement mill
#1 and other small improvement (like replacement of the existing bucket
elevators etc) to enhance production
level with existing machineries.
The
cement grinding is a dry process. No additional land, power, water is required
for the proposed enhancement. No R&R is involved. No national park/wildlife
sanctuary/biosphere reserve is located within 10 km radius of the proposed
site. Total cost of the project is Rs. 3.5 Crore.
The additional major raw materials
required at Damodhar Cement Works are Clinker (0.353 LTPA), Slag (0.36 LTPA)
& Gypsum (0.038 LTPA) for manufacturing Portland Slag Cement. Clinker is
supplied by sister unit of M/s ACC (Chaibasa, Bargarh & Jamul) plants, Slag
from nearby steel industries and Gypsum from the Rajasthan/Imported. All
transportation should be done by Rail and unloading should be done by Wagon
tipplers with state of the art dust extraction & control system.

The requirement
of coal for the proposed captive power plant is 3,15,000 tonnes/annum which
will be sourced from M/s Akshay Ispat Udyog Pvt. Ltd., sister concern, who
have been granted a coal linkage of
2,25,000 MT per annum of F grade coal. The balance coal will be procured
through E-Auction
Dust extraction system with cyclones, bag filters and closed
conveyors will be used to control fugitive emissions at coal handling area.
Flue gas emissions will be controlled by installing 80 m height of stack
chimney for CPP and 4 stacks of each 80 m height of stacks for Ferro Alloy
plant. Electrostatic precipitator will be attached to the CPP boiler.
All the conveyers will be covered. Internal roads will be asphalted / concreted to prevent the fugitive dust emission
due to vehicular movement.
Total water requirement for the Ferro Alloy plant and CPP
will be 28 m3/day which will be met from Hasdeo river. Waste water is recycled for Zero discharge.
The slag generated from ferro manganese about 75,263 TPA will be
utilized within the system, whereas, the slag generated from silico manganese
about 1,00,143 TPA will be granulized and utilized for construction of roads,
or road ballast and filling of low-laying areas. The
ash generated from CPP about 1,48,365 TPA will be utilized for brick plant/
cement manufacturing industries.

Proposed
expansion of Fibre Cement Sheet manufacturing plant at Village Dewanmaro Ayma,
Block Kharagpur (Local), District West Medinipur, West Bengal by M/s Ramco
Industries Limited - regarding TORs
The
project authorities and their consultant
M/s Vimta Labs, Hyderabad gave a detailed presentation on the salient features
of the project and proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken
along with the draft TORs for preparation of EIA/EMP. All the Asbestos Fibre Sheet Manufacturing
Cement Plants have been listed at Sl. No. 4(c) of Schedule of EIA Notification,
2006 as Category ‘A’ and have to be appraised at the Centre.
M/s. Ramco
Industries Limited have proposed to expand the Asbestos Fibre
Cement Sheet and accessories manufacturing plant located at Dewan Maro Ayma, PO- Hariatara, PS-
Kharagpur (L), District Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal from the existing
production capacity of 72,000 TPA to 1,00,000 TPA. The existing plant got Environmental Clearance from MoEF and Consent to Operate
from West Bengal Pollution Control Board and till date it is being renewed. The proposed
expansion will be carried out within the existing plant itself and no
additional land required for the expansion project. In the existing plant
green belt is developed in an area of 7.65 acres, which is about 60% of the
total area of the plant.
The additional
production of the plant will be achieved by optimization of production by removing the existing bottlenecks,
increasing the speed of the equipment to the maximum extent possible through
VFDs and utilizing the maximum production hours available. There will not be
any new machinery and change in the process technology.
The existing
air pollution control measures like Bag Opening Device, Shredder and Bag Filter
for Fibre circuit, Pneumatic bulk handling system and Bag Filter for Cement and
Fly ash handling and Bag filters and Ball Mill for Solid Waste recycle system
(Pulveriser plant) is well adequate to handle the additional marginal pollution
load.
The water
requirement will also be increased from 100 KLD to 137 KLD only. The additional
requirement will be sourced from the existing bore wells itself. Additional
quantity of process wastewater (130 KLD) will be treated in clarifier tank and
reused in the process itself. No wastewater will be discharged outside the
plant premises as the entire wastewater is reused in the process itself.
Discarded
fibre cement products like broken sheet pieces and rejected materials will be
pulverized and reused in process. Residue containing fibre in the form of
sludge will be crushed in ball mill and recycled in the process. No solid waste
will be sent out for disposal as the entire waste will be recycled in the
process itself.
There
will not be much increase in the noise levels due to the proposed expansion as
no new machines are proposed.
The Committee prescribed the following
TORs for undertaking detailed EIA/EMP study:

at S.No. 3(a) in Primary Metallurgical Industries under category ‘A’ of the
Schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised at the Central level.
M/s T.S.Alloys Ltd. (Previously known
as Rawmet Ferrous Industries Ltd.) proposed for expansion of Submerged Arc
Furnace from 2x16.5 MVA to 4x16.5 MVA and Ferrochrome from 59,400 TPA to
1,20,000 TPA within the existing premises at Village Ananthapur, Tehsil
Athagarh, District Cuttack in Odisha. Chandaka Sanctuary and Nandankenan Zoo is
located at 5.5 km and 9.7 km respectively. The existing plant is operational
and is continuing production since two years.
T.S.Alloys Ltd. is having two submerged Electric Arc Furnace of 16.5 MVA
each, and is spread out over 83.5 acres of Land. It is proposed that another two nos. of 16.5 MVA submerged
arc furnace should be installed
and each furnace should be utilized
for production of Ferro-Chrome, Ferro-Manganese, as well as Silico-Manganese depending upon the
market requirement. The intended enhanced production of the plant will be 60,000 TPA of saleable Ferro-Chrome /
Ferro-Manganese. It is also proposed
to optimize the existing production through modernization from 59,400 TPA to
60,000 TPA, with overall target of 1,20,000 TPA. The Capital investment is Rs.
1495 Lakhs. However, Recurring investment is Rs.117 Lakhs.
The
major raw materials are chrome ore for Ferro Chrome and Manganese ore for
Manganese Alloys such as Silico-manganese and Ferro Manganese. For Manganese
alloys the ore is available in the lump form and can be used directly in the
furnace along with other raw material. But for chrome alloys majority of the
ore is available in the form of fines only, which need to be briquetted before
feeding into the sub-merged arc furnace. The major raw materials required are
Chrome ore fines (2,59,200 TPA), Chrome ore hard lumps 64,800 TPA, Friable
lumps (12,340 TPA), Manganese ore for Ferro Manganese (3,06,800 TPA), Ferro Manganese slag 14,010 TPA), Lam Coke
72,000 TPA, Quartzite 24,000 TPA, Dolomite 13,850 TPA, Magnesite 2,450 TPA),
Electrode carbon paste 1,200 TPA), Hydrated lime 3,510 TPA) and Molasses 6,000 TPA.
To
control air pollution Bag Filter should be installed
for two submerged arc furnace. The system uses Gas Cooler and Bag Filter for
the gas cleaning purpose. Emission level at
the outlet of Bag house for furnace fumes & Tapping fumes will be kept
below 50 mg/Nm3. Fumes
generated should be sucked through a hood/canopy suitably located just above
the main furnace mouth and should be carried away by means of blower through
ducting system and bag filter to the chimney for discharging it to the
atmosphere. The system shouldcomprise Hood/Canopy, Duct, Exhaust Blower, Bag
Filter, Chimney and other accessories. For fugitive dust control
measures, jet spraying will be installed at transfer points of material
handling areas.
Additional
water @1200 m3/day will be drawn from River Mahanadi through intake
well at a distance of 0.6 Km SE. Power requirement of 60 MW will be available from the 132 KV line of
state transmission grid passing nearby. Subsequently, the power requirement
will be met from the CPP source for which Environmental Clearance already
obtained. The water to be used for furnace & gas cleaning plant operation
will be completely recycled with proper water treatment. The domestic effluents will be discharged to
soak pit via septic tank constructed as per Specification. Discharging of
canteen waste water to soak pit through settling pit. For domestic waste water,
a Sewage Treatment Plant is proposed for the industry.
The proposed plant shouldgenerate slag
(1,43,400 TPA) from the manufacture of Ferro Chrome. The entrapped metal will
be removed in metal recovery section and slag to be disposed off in the land
fill over an area of 20.88 acres. Flue dust generated (32,360 TPA) should be
agglomerated in the process of briquette / sinter.
