Shyamraipur, Gokulpur, Kharagpur, District Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal by M/s Rashmi Metaliks Ltd.
- regarding Environmental Clearance
The project authorities and their consultant,
M/s EMTRC Consultants Pvt. Limited, Delhi gave a detailed presentation on the
salient features of the project as per Terms of
Reference (TORs) awarded during the 18th meeting of the Expert Appraisal
Committee (Industry-1) held during 24th - 25th
January, 2011 for preparation of EIA/EMP report. All
the Steel Plants are listed at S.No. 3(a) under category ‘A’ of the schedule of
EIA Notification, 2006 and appraised by the Expert
Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) of MoEF.
M/s Rashmi Metaliks Ltd. have proposed for expansion
of Steel Plant (0.5 MTPA MBF & SMS) by adding 1.5 MTPA Beneficiation cum
Pellet Plant with Producer Gas Plant at Shyamraipur, Gokulpur, Kharagpur,
District Paschim Medinipur, West Bengal. Environmental Clearance (EC) for the existing plant was accorded on 12th
June, 2008 for the blast furnace, Sinter Plant, DRI Plant, SMS, lime plant and
Oxygen plant. Blast Furnace, Sinter Plant & SMS are partly under operation
and partly under construction. Lime plant & oxygen plant are under construction.
DRI plant, which was a part of facilities in the EC, will not be installed
within the project premises. DI pipe plant (1,42,000 TPA) is under operation
and WBPCB has accorded CTE and CTO. Compliance to the conditions stipulated in
the EC was submitted. The Committee noted that the existing green belt is not
satisfactory i.e. very thin without any canopy etc. and asked the PP to do the
needful during the proposed expansion. The committee was informed that Writ
Petition No. 1587 (W) of 2011 in the matter of Sk. Sajad Ali vs. The State of
West Bengal and Ors. is pending before the Hon’ble High Court of Calcutta for
the existing plant. Iron Ore Beneficiation cum Pellet Plant (1.5 MTPA) to
produce 1.2 MTPA Pellets and 75,000 Nm3/hour Coal Gasifiers to meet
the fuel requirement of pellet plant would be installed in the proposed
expansion. Iron Ore Fines (1.5 MTPA),
Coal (0.122 MTPA), Bentonite (16,500 tons/year) and Limestone (7,000 tons/year)
are the raw materials that will be used and will be transported using rail.
Railway siding and material handling yard exists inside the existing plant
complex. Iron ore fines will be met from private mines in Barbil, Joda of
Orissa.
The
existing steel plant is located on 188 acres land. The proposed units will be
located within the existing plant area and no additional land will be acquired
for expansion. No national park, wildlife sanctuary, reserve and protected
forest, biosphere reserve or archaeologically notified monument exist within 10
km radius of the proposed site. No endangered, rare or threatened species of
plants and animals are present in the study area. The cost of proposed
expansion project is Rs. 330 Crores. Rs.
12.5 Crores and Rs. 2.4 Crores will be earmarked towards total capital cost and
recurring cost/annum for environmental pollution control measures.
Ambient
air quality was monitored from April to June 2011. PM2.5, PM10, SO2 and NO2
levels were monitored at eight locations in the upwind and downwind direction
of site and found to be within the National Standards. Mathematical
modeling predicted that the maximum incremental ground level concentration of
PM10, SO2 and NOx from the project would be 1.2 mg/m3, 1.5 mg/m3 and 2.9 mg/m3 respectively (24-hour
average). The incremental impact would be significant at 0.5-1.0 km of the
project site in north direction. Dust generated during operation phase from
pellet plant will be controlled by installation of ESP and bag filters. The
dust emission will be less than 50 mg/Nm3. 40 m tall stack will be
installed in the indurating furnace to disperse gaseous pollutants and other
dedusting stacks will be of 30 m height.
The water
requirement for the expansion project would be 600m3/day. State
Water Investigation Directorate and State Level Groundwater Authority, Govt. of
West Bengal has confirmed recommendation of 1 MGD water drawl (4,500 kl/hour)
from Kasai river bed through intake well to M/s RML for the project which
includes water for future expansion plants of RML. The total water requirement
is 25 kl/hour. Entire wastewater generated from the process will be collected
in a tank and taken to a thickener. The water from the thickener will be
re-used for washing iron ore and making pellet nodules. Entire wastewater shall
be reused. No wastewater will be discharged outside the plant premises. The
power requirement is 5 MW, which will be taken from State Electricity Board.
750 KVA DG sets shall be installed to meet the power requirement during
emergency.
The
dust collected from ESPs and Bag Filters of pellet plant will be recycled back
in the process. The coal ash generated from the producer gas plant (48,800 tons
per year) will be used as sub-base material for road making and low land
filling. Iron ore left over after beneficiation (1,05,930 tons per year) will
be utilized as land filling material.
Public

Singhipuram, Taluk Valapadi, District Salem, Tamil Nadu by M/s Madras Cements
Limited- regarding TORs
The project authorities and their consultant, M/s.
Environmental System Consultants & Ambiente Lab Solutions Private Limited,
Chennai 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 stand alone cement grinding units are covered under Category ‘B’ as
per para 3(b) of the Schedule of the EIA notification 2006, but due to non
functioning of SEIAA/SEAC of Tamilnadu, the proposal has been appraised by the
Expert Appraisal Committee – I (Industry) in the Ministry.
M/s. Madras Cements Ltd. have proposed
for the expansion of Salem cement grinding unit at village Singhipuram, Taluk
Valapadi in Salem District of Tamil Nadu from the present 1.0 MTPA to 2.0 MTPA.
No forest land is involved for the proposal. No
rehabilitation/resettlement is envisaged.No
ecologically sensitive areas such as National Park/Sanctuary/Biosphere Reserve/Historical
monuments, defence installations, etc. exist within 10 km radius of the Plant
site. There are reserved forests in the Study Area viz. Vellalakundam RF (at a
distance of 4.0 km in southwest), Goodumalai RF (at a distance of 4.5 km in
northwest) and Mangalapuram RF (at a distance of 6.7 km the south). NOC from
DFO, Athur was obtained. There is no litigation/pending case against the proposal. Existing
plant cost is Rs. 95.00 crores and project cost for expansion is Rs.83.00
crores. The Capital Cost for Pollution Control Measures is
Rs.3.00 crores and Rs.5.00 lakhs per annum is Operating Cost.
Production
enhancement would be by adding a highly energy efficient POLYCOM Roller Press
in series to the existing Ball mill. Additional 3,000 Ton of Fly Ash Silo and a standby 7 MW DG Set is also proposed. For supporting infrastructures like
Rest House, Truck Parking, fuel Bunk, green Belt, etc., additional land of 6 Ha
will be added to existing 8.1 Ha of area. Controlled quantity of Clinker, Gypsum and Fly ash will be fed to the
POLYCOM roller press through Weigh feeders. Grinding of Clinker, Gypsum and Fly
ash is in the ratio of 65:5:30. On Expansion, green belt will be developed in
additional 3 Ha (thus, total 5.83 Ha; 41% coverage).
All
point sources and material transfer points are provided with bag filters to
control particulate emissions <50 mg/Nm3. Dust collected from
various bag filters would be reused as raw material in the process of cement
grinding and there will be no solid waste generation from the Unit. The entire
plant operations are dry processes and fresh water requirement will be 88 m3/d
from existing 60 m3/d. 55 m3/d required for cooling, 10 m3/d
for domestic use and another 23 m3/d for green belt & dust control
measures. Necessary permission from the CGWB would be obtained for ground water
drawl. Domestic sewage to the tune of 4
m3/d is generated now which is biologically treated in a
septic Tank followed by Dispersion Trench. On expansion, additional sewage (3
KLD) will be generated which will also be treated in the septic tank. Treated
sewage (overflow) will be used for Green Belt. Zero effluent discharge would be
adopted. Rain Water Harvesting Scheme has been proposed to conserve the water.

The
project authorities and their consultant, M/s En-vision
Enviro Engineers Ltd., Surat 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
stand alone cement grinding units are covered under Category ‘B’ as per para
3(b) of the Schedule of the EIA notification 2006, but due to absence of SEIAA
for Assam, the proposal is appraised at central level.
M/s K.
D. Cements have proposed for expansion of Cement Grinding Unit (from 500
TPD to 1000 TPD) at village bhamoraguri, gaon panchayat-kuhmutali, sub division-samaguri,
District-nagaon, Assam. The total land requirement for the proposed plant is 22,872.75
sq. m. which is already in the possession of the project proponent. About
7548.00 sq. m. of plant area will be developed under green belt. The Committee noted that the existing
green belt is negligible and asked the PP to do the needful during the proposed
expansion. No forest land is involved.
The river Brahmaputra flows at a distance of 18 km in North from the project site. The project site is in
Zone-V category of earthquake. The total cost of the project will be Rs. 13.29 Crores.
Rs.10 Lakhs and Rs.2 Lakhs will be earmarked towards total capital cost and
recurring cost/annum for environmental pollution control measures.
The
manufacturing process of cement comprises mixing, drying and grinding of
clinker, gypsum & fly ash. The raw material required for the proposed
plant will be clinker (existing-375 TPD, Proposed-375 TPD), gypsum (existing-8
TPD to Proposed-8 TPD) and fly ash & BFG Slag (Existing-125 TPD to
Proposed-125 TPD). Raw materials will be procured from various sources and
transported by road through trucks. Source of air pollution from the proposed
plant will be Cement Mill and packing plant. For control of air pollution,
cyclone separator followed by reverse pulse jet type bag filter will be
provided.
The
total existing water requirement is 12 m3/d and for proposed expansion, water requirement will
be 423 m3/d which will be met from the ground water source
ground water. There is no wastewater generation due to the process. Domestic
wastewater will be generated which will be discharged through septic tank and
soak pit. The waste collected in control equipments will be recycled in the
process and the spent lube oil will be given to registered recyclers. In the existing plant, the total power
requirement is 1200 KW, after proposed expansion, total power requirement will
be 60 KW which will be sourced from the Assam State Electricity Board. In case
of power failure, two D. G. set of 1500 KVA and 250 KVA will be used to meet the
power requirement.

in Andhra Pradesh. The company has acquired 3.6 acres of land for the
proposed unit of which 1.3 acres of are will be developed as green belt. Dakshanabrahmanapalle village is at a
distance of 1.0 km in SE direction. The site is adjacent to NH-4 which connects
to Mumbai-Chennai at a distance of 0.55 km in North direction. Bomma samudram
railway station is at a distance of 2.4 km in SE direction. Interstate boundary
of Andhra Pradesh and Tamil Nadu is at a distance of 2.3 KM in east Direction. There are no National Parks /
wild life Sanctuaries with in the 10 Km radius of the site. Basavapalle Reserve forest (RF) (N) – 0.7 km,
Kanjanuru RF – S – 1.6 km, Bommasamudram RF – W – 2.1 km, Chittapara RF – NW –
2.6 km, Panamadangi RF – SW is at a distance of 2.7 km. Total cost of the
project is Rs. 178 Lakhs and Rs. 80 Lakhs will be earmarked for environmental
control measures.
Clinker (180 TPD), gypsum (15 TPD)
and fly ash (110 TPD) are the raw materials that will be used. Clinker, Gypsum
and fly ash are mixed and fed into the ball mill hopper for intermediate
storage where a mill feeder is installed, which controls the feed rate to mill,
and desired fineness can be adjusted. The cement produced is stored into the
Cement Silo. Cement is extracted from the Cement silo by means of a screw
feeder and transported to packer plant where it is first screened to remove any
foreign particle and then stored into a hopper for packing with the help of
Auto Packers. Spillage if any during the packing is collected into a spillage
hopper and recycled to the system. The packed bags are handled by a belt
conveyor and transported to cement go down for sale.
The sources of air pollution from
the plant are from the ball mill and stand by DG set. It is proposed to provide
bag filters for ball mill. The
total water requirement of the project is about 5.5 m3/d. The water required is mainly for domestic
usage, dust suppression and for green belt development. This will be met from the ground water
through bore wells. About 2.5 m3/d of effluent will be generated which will be
disposed through septic tank followed by soak pit. The solid waste generated
from the grinding unit will be cement dust collected from pollution control
devices. The dust collected in the air pollution control equipment in the
cement plant will be recycled back to the process. Waste Oil and Used
lead acid batteries will be sent to authorized recyclers.

Plant (3.1 MTPA to 5.6 MTPA) at Meramandali, District Dhenkanal in Orissa by M/s Bhushan Steel
Limited - regarding reviewing of compliance status
The monitoring cell of MoEF had
issued a show-cause notice for non compliance in the existing unit. The SPCB has also issued a closure notice on
12.10.2011. The compliance status to the conditions stipulated in the EC for existing
plant and show cause notice was reviewed by the Committee. The PP made a presentation before the Committee.
The committee asked the PP to
reduce the water consumption drastically as it is very high as per the standard
of steel plants and install dry quenching for coke oven gases within 3 years.
After detailed deliberations and
discussion, the Committee noted that the proponent appears to have shown very
slight regard to certain conditions imposed. Practically little or nothing has
been done about the green belt. This is a case in which further development or approval
should not be considered until total compliance with all the previous approvals
is ensured or the proponent reporting full compliance, the Committee may undertake
a site inspection to decide the future course of action.

The committee noted that a nala is
flowing across the project site and recommended to relinquish the project area
through which the nala is flowing, for which the PP has agreed to revise the
plant layout and submit it.
Billets from Tata Steel
Plant, Jamshedpur, Chrome ore from Sukinda Mine, Odisha, Coke, Coal, Quartzite
and Lime from the open market are the raw materials that will be used. It was informed that coal linkage is
not possible for such a small quantity of coal requirement of 7000 TPA. The power requirement of the plant is 50 MW and will be met
from State Power Grid.
The ferro chrome plant
will be designed with adequate air pollution control measures comprising of
dust extraction system, and SAF gas cleaning plant so as to ensure that the
plant emissions to the atmosphere remain well within the permissible limits. Particulate
Matter will be kept below 50 mg/Nm3i in Rebar mill, In Ferro
Chrome Plant, air pollution due to emission of fugitive dusts in the raw material
handling and in the SAF shop will be controlled by dry fogging. There will be totally three stacks of 35 m
each for the adequate dispersion of gaseous emissions. All the internal roads
will be paved with concrete / black topped for control of fugitive dust and extensive
green belt will be developed.
The water requirement for
plant will be 5.5 MLD (about 1.2 MGD). The water requirement will be met from
the sea and also through rain harvested water. The liquid effluent of
respective plants will be treated in separate effluent treatment plant (ETP)
for separation of solids, oil and grease. The treated effluent would be reused
for various non production areas. The plant will be designed on the basis of
“zero” discharge concept.
The Ferro-chrome plant
would produce about 60,000 tonnes/annum of slag. 25% of slag will be processed
for metal recovery. Balance slag will be temporary storage for subsequent use
such as road making and brick industry. This slag is a hard mass reported to be
non leachable. An open area of 20 x 70 m will be provided inside the plant
boundary for locating the dump yard for slag, muck and debris. The area will be
paved and provided with rain water drainage in all sides connecting to a
collection cum settling tank for treatment before re circulation. The solid by
products will be mill scale and scrap from the rebar mill. About 4,000-5,000
tons per year of mill scale would be produced and fully recyled. Similarly, the
scraps will be 100% recycled or will be sold to others. Ferro chrome plant dust
would be recycled and will be used in briquetting plant and remelt.

better maintenance and efficient operation of equipments & vehicles and
green belt development will keep the gaseous emissions under control. Use of
pollution control equipments like ESP, bag houses and bag filters will maintain
the dust concentration well within the prescribed CPCB Norms. All material transfer points have been
provided with bag filters to entrap the emissions at the source
itself. Clinker & fly ash will be stored in silo and gypsum in
covered yard.
Total water requirement after proposed expansion
will be 2,400 m3/day (existing 2,000 m3/day & additional
400 m3/day). Water requirement will be met from the ground water.
Permission has already been obatined from CGWA. Mining in the area will be done well above the water
table therefore impact on water regime is not anticipated. There will be no
discharge of mine water. Mineral reject as well as overburden is non – toxic in
nature. There is no perennial water body within the lease area to have any
adverse impact due to the project activities. No industrial wastewater will be
generated in the Cement Plant. Domestic waste water generated from Cement
Plant/colony will be treated in the STP. The treated water will be utilized for
greenbelt development/horticulture activities. Rain water harvesting structures
will be developed.
Waste
