33.2.6 Expansion of Cement grinding Unit from 0.021 MTPA to
0.1971 MTPA at J.L No. 74, Dag no. 11 (Part), 16,17, Khaitan no. 106/2, Village
Nimtola, Post Rangapani, District Darjeeling, West Bengal by M/s Darjeeling Cements Limited- regarding Environmental Clearance
The project authorities and their consultant,
M/s CTRAN Consulting Private Limited, Bhubaneswar,
gave a detailed presentation on the salient features of the project and the
proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken as per Terms of
Reference (TORs) awarded in the 14th Meeting of the Expert Appraisal
Committee (Industry-1) held during 23rd-25th September,
2010 for preparation of EIA/EMP report. All
the stand-alone cement grinding units are listed at S.No. 3(b) under category
‘B’ and appraised at the State level by the SEIAA/SEAC. However, the
project was considered by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) of MoEF as
per the General Condition of the said Notification as the project site is
located within 10
km distance of the international border of
Bangladesh.
M/s Darjeeling Cements Limited
have proposed for expansion of cement grinding unit from 0.021 MTPA (PPC) to
0.1971 MTPA (PPC) at J.L No. 74, Dag no. 11 (Part), 16,17, Khaitan no. 106/2, Village
Nimtola, Post Rangapani, District Darjeeling, West Bengal. The industry
has started its operation in the year 1997 with NOC granted by the SPCB. The
conditions stipulated in the NOC are being complied. The proposed expansion
will be done in the existing project area of 5.62 acres and green belt will be
developed in 33% of the plant area. The nearest city is Siliguri which is about
15 Km. No wildlife sanctuary and national parks are located within 10 km radius
of the proposed project. International Border of Bangladesh is within 7 km from
project site. The total project cost of proposed expansion is Rs. 6.2 Crores,
which includes upgradation of existing plant machinery, its installation and environment
protection measures.
The
raw materials required for the unit are Clinker, Fly ash and Gypsum. Clinker is
proposed to be procured from the large cement industries like Tata Steels
Cement, Gujarat Ambuja Cement, Kalayanpur Cement, Jaypee Rewa Cement, Raymonds
Cement Ltd etc. Clinker availability is considered to be adequate in view of
the excess clinkerisation capacity. The percentage of fly ash varies from 20 to
25% in the Portland Pozolana Cement (PPC). Fly ash is available in abundant
from the Thermal Power Plant at Farrakka, West Bengal. Gypsum of high grade will
be sourced from mines in Bhutan and at present the Gypsum requirement is met from
Bhutan as it is available in plenty in Bhutan. Additional power supply of 650
KVA will be procured from the West Bengal State Electricity Board.
Air
pollution impact evaluated by Industrial Source Complex- Short Term Version 3
(ISCST-3) model was used for the prediction of maximum ground level
concentration (GLC). Resultant Concentrations for PM10 predicted
with APC is 53.78 mg/m3 against
maximum PM10 concentration recorded as 51.48 mg/m3.
Adequate air pollution control systems in the form of bag filters will be
installed to minimize the PM concentration below 50 mg/Nm3 from the
stationary sources. Fugitive emissions from feeding units,
grinding process, storage handling units will be controlled by different dust
extraction measures followed by adequate bag house. Various dust suppression
measures like dry fog system, water sprinkling etc. shall be used in raw
material yard, transfer points and entire road area. The clinker grinding process
does not require any water. The additional water requirement is 5 m3/d
for domestic purpose, gardening and water sprinkling for dust suppression.
The
proposal was exempted from public hearing by categorizing in B-2 category due
to use of energy efficient technology, no clinker manufacturing at the proposed
site, no sensitive area within 10 km. radius, ‘zero’ effluent discharge,
utilization of all the solid waste in the process itself including utilization
of fly ash etc.
After detailed deliberations, the Committee recommended
the project for environmental clearance subject to stipulation of the following
specific conditions along with other environmental conditions:

The Project Authorities and their consultant, M/s BS Envi Tech Pvt. Limited Ltd., Hyderabad gave a detailed presentation on the salient features of project
and proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken along with the
draft Terms of Reference for the preparation of EIA/EMP Report. The
project activity is listed at Item
4(b)
in Category A of the
schedule of EIA Notification, 2006 and
appraised by the Expert Appraisal Committee
(Industry-1) in the MoEF.
M/s. Sanvira
Industries limited have proposed for Calcined
Petroleum Coke (CPC) Plant with a
capacity of 4,60,000 TPA along with Waste Heat Recovery Power plant of 25 MW at Sy No. 335, 323 (P), 334(P) and 336(P), Village Chatametta,
Mandal Rambilli, District Visakhapatnam in Andhra Pradesh. Total project
area
is 14.35 Ha which is non forest and barren land.
There are no National Parks/Wildlife Sanctuaries within 10 km
of the project site. Nearest village is Pudimadaka
village
at 2.7 km and nearest forest is Pudimadaka
Reserved Forest at 3 km. Gokivada, Panchadarla, Rambill and Kalavapalli RFs are
also located within 10 km. Sharada River flows at a distance of 8.3 km from the
project site. The total project cost is Rs.
334 Crores. It was confirmed that there is no litigation/court case pending against the project.
The major raw material for the unit is Green Petroleum Coke (0.541 MTPA) which is imported from Refineries producing
Anode grade Green Coke in North America, South America, Middle East and Asia. Green Petroleum Coke (GPC) is fed to Pot Calciners for
calcining. Green coke in the pot calciner is indirectly heated up to around
1250 0C by high temperature. Calcination will remove moisture and
volatiles efficiently, improve real density, electrical conductivity and
mechanical strength. Volatiles evolved are introduced to the flue for complete
combustion with the preheated air without any external fuel. CPC from pot
calciner is indirectly cooled in chute with water jacket and is discharged at
regular intervals. CPC is dispatched from the plant in bulk.
Flue gases from calcination will be passed through the Heat Recovery
Boilers (HRBs) for 24 MW power generation, thus no fuel is required for
calcination and power generation. All material handling points and
transfer points will have Bag Filters. The emissions from all the pollution control
equipment are restricted to less than 50 mg/nm3. The total water
requirement will be 1,200 m3/day and will be sourced from APIIC
water supply and also from ground water. 110 m3/day of wastewater is
generated from process, of which 85 m3/day will be used for green
belt development and 25 m3/day for dust suppression measures. There
will be no solid waste generation from the plant.

Other Item
33.2.19 Proposed Greenfield Integrated Steel Plant (5 MTPA)
at Asanboni, Tehsil Potka, District East Singhbhum in Jharkhand by M/s Jindal Steel
& Power Limited - regarding amendment in TORs
The above
proposal was prescribed ToRs for preparation of EIA/EMP Report vide MoEF letter
no. J-11011/322/2010-IA-II (I) dated 25th October, 2010. The project
proponent vide letter dated 1.2.2012 have requested for amendment in the ToRs
dated 25.10.2010 to revise the
capacity of Integrated Steel Plant Project to 6.0 MTPA through Blast Furnace -
Basic Oxygen Furnace (BOF) instead of the Direct Reduced Iron -Electric Arc
Furnace (DRI-EAF) route proposed earlier. The project proponent along with
their consultant, M/S EMTRC Consultants, Delhi made a detailed presentation
before the committee. Steel plants are listed at S. No. 3(a) under Primary
Metallurgy Industry of the Schedule of EIA Notification 2006 under Category “A”
and appraised by the Expert Appraisal
Committee (Industry-1) in the MoEF.
The justification given for the proposed change is
that the power grid of Jharkhand is not sufficient to cater the high fault
level requirement to support EAF operation, which is not a constraint for BF-
BOF technology. The non availability of coal mines makes the coal gasification
DRI non viable. BF technology has a lesser gestation period resulting in faster
implementation.
The project area is spread in the Villages Birdha,
Asanboni, Lalmohanpur, Digarsai, Ghatiduba, Tilamura, Gopalpur and Chatro in Tehsil Potka, District East Singhbhum, Jharkhand. The project site is located at a distance of about 1 Km. from Asanboni
Railway Station, 25 Km. away from Tatanagar Railway station and connected by a
village road which is joining NH-33, 5 km away. The Subarnarekha River flows on
the eastern side of proposed plant site. The
Dalma Wildlife Sanctuary is situated at about 7 km from the project boundary of
the proposed site. No other eco-sensitive area is located within 10 km
distance. The total land requirement was reduced
from 2,206 acres to 1,778 acres, forest land was reduced from 89 acres to 73
acres and resettlement was reduced from 135 to 75 houses. The cost of the project will be Rs. 21,260 Crores.

The
various raw materials required for the proposed plant will be iron ore, coal,
coking coal, limestone, dolomite, quartzite, Mn ore, fluorspar, bentonite. The water requirement remains the same as 9,400
kl/hour and water drawl permission for 50 MCM per annum from Subarnarekha River
was obtained. The power requirement for the plant will be met from the Captive
Power Plant. Dry quenching will be done for the coke oven gases. Particulate
matter emissions from the various units & processes will be controlled
within 50 mg/Nm3 by installation of high efficiency ESP and bag
houses. Fugitive dust emissions generated during raw materials handling will be
controlled by adequate sprinkling system, closed conveyors and bag houses. Fume
extraction system and bag filters will be installed to control the emissions
from the Steel Melting Shop. The wastewater after treatment will be recycled
and reused. The coal ash will be given for cement manufacturing, bricks, road
and tiles making.
