Aditi Industries - regarding amendment
in Environmental Clearance
Environmental clearance to the above proposal was accorded
by MoEF vide letter no. J-11011/735/2009-IA II (I), dated 29th
September 2010. The PP has requested for the following amendments in the above
EC. The PP and their consultant, M/s Envision Enviro Engineers Pvt. Ltd., Surat
have also made a presentation before the committee.
1. Specific condition no. I, which
reads as under:
“Continuous stack monitoring facilities to
monitor emissions from all the stacks shall be provided. Particulate emission
shall be controlled within 50 mg/Nm3 by installing adequate air
pollution control system viz. Bag Filter and stacks of adequate height etc.
Data on ambient air, fugitive and stack emission shall be submitted to the
Ministry’s Regional Office at Shillong, Assam State Pollution Control Board
(ASPCB) and CPCB Regularly.”
It is requested to amend the condition as under.
“Particulate
emission shall be controlled within 50 mg/Nm3 by installing adequate
air pollution control system viz. Bag Filter and stacks of adequate height etc.
Data on ambient air quality, fugitive and stack emission shall be submitted to
the Ministry’s Regional Office at Shillong, Assam State Pollution Control Board
(ASPCB) and CPCB Regularly.”
The justification
for above is that, the company has proposed close circuit ball mill (C.C.B.M.)
with reverse pulse jet type bag filters at various stages of production and all
other pollution control equipments which are necessary for maintaining the
emission from the stacks are below the prescribed limits. Moreover, the unit is
very small and non polluting unit with approximate cost of Rs. 9.7 Crores at an
area of around 13,075 Sq.Mt. only and therefore continuous online stack
monitoring system for all the stacks would be very difficult and is not economically feasible.
However, the company has already implemented a periodical monitoring scheme for
regular monitoring of the stack emission by appointing a third party. Results
will be analyzed and proper action will be taken on time to time if found
necessary.
2. General Condition no. x,
which reads as under:
“As
proposed, Rs 131.71 Lacs and Rs. 42.00 Lacs shall be earmarked towards capital
cost and recurring cost/annum for environment pollution control measures to
implement the conditions stipulated by the Ministry of Environment and Forests
as well as the State Government. An implementation schedule for implementing
all the conditions stipulated herein shall be submitted to the regional office
of the Ministry at Shilong. The funds so provided shall not be diverted for any
other purpose”.
It is requested to amend the condition as under.
“As proposed, Rs 35.0 Lacs and Rs. 5.65 Lacs
shall be earmarked towards capital cost and recurring cost/annum for
environment pollution control measures to implement the conditions stipulated
by the Ministry of Environment and Forests as well as the State Government. An
implementation schedule for implementing all the conditions stipulated herein
shall be submitted to the regional office of the Ministry at Shilong. The funds
so provided shall not be diverted for any other purpose.”
The project proponent had only proposed Rs. 35.00 Lacs as capital cost for
environment pollution control measures and Rs. 5.65 Lacs towards recurring
cost/annum in all the documents submitted and the figures mentioned in the
condition is a typographical error.
After detailed deliberations, the committee has recommended for
the above amendments.

additional land, water and power requirement would be 0.7 acres, 8 KLD and 500
KVA respectively. The cost for installation of the sinter plant would be Rs. 80
Lakhs. One pulse jet bag filter would be installed for the sinter plant and the
dust from bag filter will be reused in the sintering process. The flue gases
would be let out through tall chimney. The water would be used only for
maintaining the moisture and there would be no generation of wastewater.
After detailed deliberations, the committee sought the
following information for reconsideration without calling the project
proponent.

which will be sourced from the captive limestone mine. Other raw materials are
Gypsum & Fly ash, which are sourced from Nagaur in Rajasthan and
Suratgarh/Kota Thermal Power Plant/Chabra etc. and Pet Coke /Coal &
Laterite or Lead Zinc Slag from refinery and Chittorgarh, Bhilwara respectively
by road/rail. Existing power consumption is 80.5 MW and additional 19.9 MW
power will be required for proposed expansion and residential colony. The power
requirement will be met from the already installed 180 MW Captive Thermal Power
Plant in existing cement plant premises.
The baseline study was conducted for the project for the Post monsoon season,
2010. As per the Ambient Air Quality Monitoring carried out, in Core Zone, PM2.5
& PM10 ranges between 24.70 to 38.30 mg/m3 and 52.89 to 79.45 mg/m3, respectively. Whereas, in Buffer
Zone, PM2.5 & PM10 ranges between 18.34 to 36.12 mg/m3 and 45.98 to 75.34 mg/m3, respectively. In Core Zone, SO2
& NOx concentrations were found in the range of 6.25 to 9.23 mg/m3 and 15.20 to 19.18 mg/m3, respectively and in Buffer Zone, SO2
& NOx concentrations were found in the range of 6.12 to 9.12 mg/m3 and 13.56 to 19.12 mg/m3, respectively. Max incremental GLC for particulate
matter for proposed expansion will be 1.29 µg/m3 and the
resultant concentration is within the permissible limit.
Controlled
drilling and blasting technique is being/will be used to avoid dust generation.
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 control the particulate emissions
at the source itself. Clinker & fly ash will be stored in silo
and gypsum in covered yard. Mining will
be carried above the water table and the impact on water regime is not
anticipated. There will be no discharge of mine water. There is no perennial water body within the
lease area to have any adverse impact due to the project activities.
Water requirement after proposed expansion will be 43 m3/day
(Existing 3,000 m3/day & additional 1300 m3/day) will
be sourced from ground water & mine sump. Necessary clearance has been
obtained for the same. No industrial wastewater will be generated in
the Cement Plant. Domestic wastewater generated from the Cement Plant will be
treated in the STP. The treated water will be utilized for greenbelt
development.
No solid
waste will be generated in the cement manufacturing process. Dust collected
from the various pollution control equipments will be recycled back to the
process. STP Sludge will be utilized as manure for green belt development
within the plant premises. At the
conceptual stage, total excavated area will be 425.0 ha, part of which will be
backfilled with sand/waste & will be reclaimed by plantation and rest of
the area will be converted into water reservoir.

The
proposed project envisaged to beneficiate low grade iron ore fines to produce
iron ore concentrate through iron ore beneficiation plant. Iron ore concentrate
will be utilized to produce iron ore pellet using producer gas as fuel in the
pellet plant. Coal based Captive power plant will be installed to generate
power for utilization in beneficiation plant. Iron ore fines, high grade iron ore, coal, coke
Breeze, Limestone/Dolomite and Bentonite are the major raw materials used in
the plant process. The unit’s saleable product will be Iron Ore Pellets.
Gaseous emissions will be
controlled by installing air pollution control equipments. Dust suppression
will be done by water sprinkling and dry fog systems to control fugitive
emissions due to transportation and material processing activities. Bag Filters in the crushing plant,
coal mill & additive mill system will be installed, Spot filters at crusher
transfer point & raw coal storage and ESP at the travelling grate kiln each
with an efficiency of about 99.95% have been proposed to minimize air pollution
due to the plant operation. The gas above 4000C
from gassifier main reactor contains tars in vapor form will be directly fed
pellet plant kiln which prevent tar condensation and resulting in “ZERO TAR” pollution.
ESP will be installed at CPP to control emissions.
Total water requirement
for the proposed project is of 154 m3/hr which will be sourced
from River Brahmani. Settling tank will be installed for the treatment of
wastewater and the treated water will be used for dust suppression, plantation
etc. Tailings and slurry will be dewatered and treated water will be reused for
beneficiation. No wastewater will be generated from pellet plant. Domestic
wastewater will be treated in STP and effluent will be reused for greenbelt
development. Zero discharge norms will be maintained in the proposed plant.
Solid waste i.e. tailings
generated from beneficiation unit will be disposed in wet cake form from filter
press in an area of 37.5 acres. It is also
ideally suitable for bricks, tiles & blocks making and would be marketed to
local brick makers. Dust collected through ESP & Bag house etc. will be
recycled in the process. Ash from coal
gasification plant will be disposed in ash mound or will be sold to brick
making industries. Fly ash from CPP will be disposed to cement plants, fly ash
brick & concrete blocks manufacturers and can be used for land filling. Ear
muffs/ear plugs will be provided to workers working in high noise prone areas.
