The revised draft EIA/EMP report shall be submitted to the Assam State PollutionControl Board for public hearing. The issues emerged and response to the issues shallbe incorporated in the EIA report. The final EIA report shall be submitted to the Ministryfor obtaining environmental clearance. Since the validity of original TORs dated16.8.2010 had expired on 15.8.2012, the committee recommended to extend the validityby one year for submission of the final EIA/EMP report after public consultation.2.2.3. Expansion of Aluminum alloy ingots production capacity from 9,900 TPA to24,750 TPA and Aluminum extrusions from 2,310 TPA to 10,230 TPA at villageDevarapally, Mandal Hindupur, District Ananthapur, Andhra Pradesh by M/sVakkal Impex Pvt. Ltd. regarding EC.The project authorities and their consultant, M/s Pragathi Labs and ConsultantsPvt. Ltd., Secunderabad gave a detailed presentation on the salient features of theproject and proposed environmental protection measures to be undertaken as per Termsof Reference (TORs) awarded during the 14 th Meeting of the Expert Appraisal Committee(Industry-1) held during 23.9.2010 to 25.9.2010 for preparation of EIA/EMP report. Theproject falls under secondary metallurgical industry in category ‘B’ of the Schedule of EIANotification, 2006 and its amendment dated 1.12.2009. Due to the location of interstateboundary within 10 km of the project site and applicability of General Condition, theproposal is appraised by the Expert Appraisal Committee (Industry) of MoEF.M/s. Vakkal Impex Pvt. Ltd. have proposed to expand Aluminium alloy ingotsproduction capacity from 9,900 TPA to 24,750 TPA and Aluminium extrusions from2,310 TPA to 10,230 TPA at Sy. No. 78, Adjacent to IDA, APIIC, Devarapally village,Hindupur Mandal, Ananthapur District, Andhra Pradesh. Total project area is 16.95acres and greenbelt of 5.57 acres will be developed. No National park/wildlife sanctuaryis located within 10 km radius of the project. The nearest human habitation isDevarapally village which is at a distance of 1.2 km. River Penna and Jaimangal flow ata distance of 1.2 km and 5.8 km respectively from the project site. The capital cost andrunning cost of the proposed expansion project would be Rs. 19.13 Crores and 22.2Crores/annum respectively. The capital cost of pollution control measures is around36.85 Lakhs with a running cost of 52.0 Lakhs/annum.It was informed that the existing unit was accorded CTE in 2005 and did notrequire EC. Compliance to the conditions stipulated in the CTO, which was valid till30.9.2012 is submitted and found by the Committee to be satisfactory. Aluminium alloyingots and aluminium extrusions are manufactured by oil fired reverberatory furnace formelting of the aluminium scrap and silicon powder, fluxes & other alloying material andcasting in CI moulds. The aluminium extrusions are manufactured by heating thealuminium scrap to molten state and cast into billets. Aluminium scrap, fluxes and siliconpowder are the raw materials that are used. The total power requirement is 0.875 MVAand drawn from APTRANSCO. DG set of 500 KVA will be installed. The furnace oilrequirement for melting the aluminium scrap in reverberatory furnace is about 8.54 m 3 /d.Air pollution control will be by fume extraction through hood by induced draft fanand treated in packed bed scrubbers and finally treated gas will be discharged into theatmosphere through a stack. The scrubbed water will be treated by lime coagulationboth for pH correction and precipitation of metallic constituents. The sludge generated ishazardous in nature and is stored after solar dried in plastic bags and sent to TSDF at
