25 th May, 2012Proposals for Environmental Clearance36.3.1 Expansion of Induction Furnace (54 TPD to 294 TPD) and Rolling Mill (100 TPD to 200 TPD) tomanufacture 294 MT/day of MS Ingots/Billets/Castings and 200 MT/day (60,000 MT/annum) ofRolled Products at Village Khumna, Tehsil Amloh, District Fatehgarh Sahib in Punjab by M/sNeelkanth Concast Steels Pvt. Limited - regarding Environmental ClearanceThe project authorities and their consultant, M/s Ace Engineers and Consultants, Patiala gave adetailed presentation on the salient features of the project and proposed environmental protectionmeasures to be undertaken as per Terms of Reference (TORs) accorded by the Expert AppraisalCommittee (Industry-1) in its 24 th Meeting held during 19 th & 20 th May, 2011 for preparation of EIA/EMPreport. Although the proposed project is a Category B project, since the plant site falls within 10 km ofMandi Gobindgarh, a critically polluted area, as per the General Condition of EIA Notification, 2006, theproject has been appraised by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry-1) of MoEF.M/s Neelkanth Concast Steels (P) Ltd. have proposed for expansion of Induction Furnace (54TPD to 294 TPD) and Rolling Mill (100 TPD to 200 TPD) to manufacture 294 MT/day of MSIngots/Billets/Castings and 200 MT/day (60,000 MT/annum) of Rolled Products at Village Khumna,Tehsil Amloh, District Fatehgarh Sahib in Punjab. Presently, the industry is having an existing inductionfurnace of capacity 4.5 MT/heat and rolling mill of 100 TPD. It is proposed to install an induction furnaceof 20 MT/heat and rolling mill of 100 TPD. The total project area is 5.06 Acres (20,475 sq m) and greenbelt will be developed in more than 33 % of the total area. There are no Wild Life Sanctuaries, Reserved/Protected Forests or Defence Installations, Rivers and Hill Ranges within 10 km radius of the project.Total Cost of the Project is Rs. 15 Crores and Rs. 83 lacs have been earmarked for pollution controlMeasures. About Rs. 78 lacs will be spent on annual operation and maintenance of pollution controlequipment.The raw materials used are MS Scrap, Sponge Iron and Ferro Alloys. The total waterrequirement is 61 m 3 /day of which 30 m 3 /day will be for cooling purpose, 25 m 3 /day for APCD, 1 m 3 /dayfor the operation of DM plant and 5 m 3 /day will be for domestic purposes. Rain water harvesting wouldbe provided in the unit with a potential to harvest 5,000 m 3 /annum. The total power requirement of about12,000 KW will be met from the Punjab State Power Corporation Limited from the nearby Sub-station.Ambient air quality monitoring was carried out within the study area for PM 10 , PM 2.5 , SO 2 andNOx. Values of these parameters range from 41 to 204 µg/m 3 , 32 to 87 µg/m 3 , 6.2 to 38.1 µg/m 3 and12.0 to 59.7 µg/m 3 respectively. The predicted incremental Ground Level Concentration (GLC) due tothe proposed project for SPM is 8.293 µg/m 3 and for SO 2 is 3.98 µg/m 3 . The resultant concentration iswithin the prescribed standard. For air pollution control, multicyclone followed by wet scrubber would beinstalled in the rolling mill section and wet scrubber shall be provided to induction furnaces. Chimney ofadequate height would be provided for DG sets as per CPCB norms. There is no generation of processwastewater and the cooling tower blow down will be recirculated for APCD. Domestic wastewater shallbe treated through STP and will be used within the premises for plantation. The solid waste in the formof slag from the furnace, (about 2.5 TPD), shall be given to cement plant for further use. The waste fromthe APCD shall be stored in impervious pit and sent to TSDF site.Public hearing/Public consultation was conducted by the Punjab Pollution Control Board on14.2.2012. The issues raised in the public hearing were regarding provision of disposal of wastewater bythe rolling mills outside their industries, discharge of black smoke from the chimney by the industries,pollution control measures, employment to local people, CSR activities etc. which have been addressedin the final EIA/EMP report.After detailed deliberation, the Committee recommended the project for environmental clearancesubject to submission of OHS data of workers & Revised OHS plan, Budgetary break up of EnterpriseSocial Commitment activities and the stipulation of following specific conditions along with otherenvironmental conditions:44
i. The company shall install bag filters etc. to control the particulate emissions below 50 mg/Nm 3 .ii.iii.iv.The National Ambient Air Quality Standards issued by the Ministry vide G.S.R. No. 826(E) dated16 th November, 2009 should be followed.Gaseous emission levels including secondary fugitive emissions from all the sources shall becontrolled within the latest permissible limits issued by the Ministry vide G.S.R. 414(E) dated 30 thMay, 2008 and regularly monitored. Guidelines / Code of Practice issued by the CPCB should befollowed.Efforts shall be made to make use of rain water harvested. If needed, capacity of the reservoirshould be enhanced to meet the maximum water requirement. Only balance water requirementshall be met from other sources.v. The total water requirement shall not exceed 61 KLD. No effluent shall be discharged and ‘zero’discharge shall be adopted.vi.vii.viii.ix.Risk and Disaster Management Plan along with the mitigation measures shall be prepared and acopy submitted to the Ministry’s Regional Office at Chandigarh, SPCB and CPCB within 3months of issue of environment clearance letter.As proposed, green belt shall be developed in 33 % of the plant area. Selection of plant speciesshall be as per the CPCB guidelines in consultation with the DFO.All the commitments made to the public during the Public Hearing / Public Consultation meetingheld on 14 th February, 2012 should be satisfactorily implemented and a separate budget forimplementing the same should be allocated and information submitted to the Ministry’s RegionalOffice at Chandigarh.At least 5 % of the total cost of the project shall be earmarked towards the Enterprise SocialCommitment based on Public Hearing issues and item-wise details along with time bound actionplan should be prepared and submitted to the Ministry’s Regional Office at Chandigarh.Implementation of such program should be ensured accordingly in a time bound manner.36.3.2 Proposed 6,000 TPA Low & Medium Carbon Ferro Alloys Project [Ferro Manganese: 4,800 TPA,Ferro Molybdenum: 600 TPA, Ferro Titanium: 600 TPA] at B – 29 (P) VI th Phase, AdityapurIndustrial Area, Gamaria, Jamshedpur, District: Saraikela Kharsawan, Jharkhand by M/sJamshedpur Minerals & Chemicals regarding Environmental ClearanceThe project authorities and their consultant, M/s Environ India, Kolkata gave a detailedpresentation on the salient features of the project and proposed environmental protection measures tobe undertaken as per Terms of Reference (TORs) awarded during the 22 nd Meeting of the ExpertAppraisal Committee (Industry-1) held during 18 th - 19 th April, 2011 for preparation of EIA/EMP.
