(12) M/s Jaysawal Neco Industries Limited, Lain Dongri Iron Ore Deposit, Village-Barbaspur, District – Kanker (C.G.) The Project proponent submitted application (Form-I and Mining Plan) for

prescribing Terms of Reference (TOR) / Environment Clearance on 06/12/08 and 05/01/09. The Project proponent has proposed iron ore mining of 0.06 million tonnes per annum capacity.

The case was discussed in the 22nd, 26th, 43rd and 46th meeting of SEAC, Chhattisgarh held on 31/01/2009, 13/03/2009, 30/09/2009 and 30/11/2009 respectively. Project proponent made presentation in the 43rd meeting of SEAC, Chhattisgarh on 30/09/2009.

Committee then decided that a Sub Committee comprising of three members of SEAC, Chhattisgarh shall visit the site and submit the report. Accordingly, a Sub-


Committee visited the site on 08/11/2009. Project proponent submitted information/documents desired by SEAC, Chhattisgarh vide letter dated 20/11/2009. The inspection report of the sub-committee and information/documents submitted by project proponent were discussed in 46th meeting of SEAC, Chhattisgarh held on 30/11/2009.

The categorization of category ‘B’ projects or activities in to B1 or B2 lies in the purview of State level Expert Appraisal Committee (SEAC). Based on the consideration of the documents submitted and discussion held, the committee considered the proposal as ‘B1’ category and prescribed Term of Reference (TOR) vide letter dated 14/01/2010.

The letter dated 09/04/10 and enclosures received from Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board were discussed in the 56th meeting of SEAC Chhattisgarh held on 07/05/2010.

The Committee gone through the draft EIA/EMP report and it was noted that the base line data of the environmental parameters were collected during the month of November 2008 to January 2009 which is much before to the issue of ToR by SEAC Chhattisgarh. The Committee also noted that the collection of environmental data was started even before the submission of application. As per ToR study area should cover an area of 10 km radius around the proposed site but in the instant case, the study has been carried out covering an area 5 km radius only.

In view of the above, the committee is in the opinion that the project proponent should be advised to conduct a fresh EIA study including all the points as per the ToR issued by the SEAC Chhattisgarh.

Chhattisgarh Environment Conservation Board should be intimated accordingly.

The project proponent was reconsidered in 63rd meeting of SEAC Chhattisgarh held on 09/09/2010. The letter addressed to Principal Secretary, Environment and Housing Department, Government of Chhattisgarh was reviewed in context to the matter before SEAC, Chhattisgarh. The Committee recommended to adhere with the earlier decision.

(13) M/s. R.R. Ispat Limited, Urla, Raipur (C.G.) The project proponent submitted application for prescribing TOR / Environment

Clearance on 16/04/2008 for the expansion of the rolling mill from 42,000 metric tonne per annum to 1,00,000 metric tonne per annum. The cost of the project is Rs. 22.00 crores. The case was considered in the 8th, 9th, 45th and 46th meeting of SEAC, Chhattisgarh held on 30/06/2008, 31/07/2008, 31/10/2009 and 30/11/2009 respectively. Sub Committee of SEAC previously visited the site on 19/07/2009. On visit to the industry the proponent informed the Sub Committee that the expansion work is already completed. SEIAA, Chhattisgarh in the 10th meeting, decided to ask the SEAC, Chhattisgarh to screen/scope/appraise the proposal on merit basis as per provisions of EIA notification, 2006.

Sub committee again visited the site on 15/11/2009. The inspection report of sub committee and information/documents submitted by project proponent were discussed in 46th meeting of SEAC, Chhattisgarh held on 30/11/2009. The project proponent made presentation in the 50th meeting of SEAC, Chhattisgarh on 21/01/2010.

It is noted that there are no protected areas as per Wildlife Protection Act, 1972, archaeological and defense installations, national park or sanctuary, critically polluted area identified by C.P.C.B. and interstate border within 10 km radius area. The site is located at plot no. 490/1, Urla Industrial Area, Raipur. The plot area having 0.831 ha was taken on lease from Chhattisgarh State Industrial Development Corporation on 04/09/1999. Project proponent also purchased 4.517 ha land from private land owners Total area of the project is 5.348 ha. Project proponent informed the Sub Committee that the main plant has been established on plot no. 490/1, Urla Industrial Area, Raipur and balance land is being used as stockyard, green belt development etc. This is an expansion project for expansion of


the rolling mill from 42,000 metric tonne per annum to 1,00,000 metric tonne per annum. Sub Committee found that the expansion work has already been completed. Previously oil fired re-heating furnace of capacity 15 tonne per hour was installed. This furnace was retrofitted for duel fuel firing (coal gas and oil) and capacity expansion to 22 tonne per hour. Previously 03 roughing stands and 10 intermediate stands were installed in the rolling mill. Four new stands have been installed under expansion. Coal 100 – 105 kg/tonne and furnace oil 5 liters/tonne are being used for heating the raw materials (blooms/billets). Gas holder of 150 Ncum has been installed. Presently height of stack is 34 meters. The production to achieve 1,00,000 metric tonne per annum is on two shifts basis. For duel fuel running, coal requirement is about 30 to 35 tonnes per day; where as furnace oil requirement is about 1.75 kiloliters per day. About 833 liters per hour furnace oil is required in case of 100% furnace oil firing of re-heating furnace. Height of the stack is not adequate, when 100% furnace oil firing of re-heating furnace is done. Project proponent has mentioned in the application form that Sulphur Di Oxide emission would be 80 kg per hour. The height of stack should be raised accordingly. Coal is being stored in open stock yard. About 12 to 14 tonnes per day ash and coal tar 2.0 – 2.5 kiloliters is generated. Ash is used for land filling and coal tar sold to vendors. Total water requirement after expansion is 20 kiloliters. Water is being supplied by M/s Chhattisgarh Ispat Bhumi. Closed cooling system has been adopted. The water used for cooling the mill strands is recycled. Mill scales about 6 -7 tonnes per day (2000 tonnes anually) are collected through sedimentation pit and sold. Main internal roads are pucca.

Based on the consideration of the documents submitted and discussion held, being expansion project of rolling mill with oil fired / coal gasifier fired furnace (without direct firing of coal in furnace), expansion within existing plant premises, no additional acquisition of land, no displacement / rehabilitation required, main plant established on industrial area land and no forest land involved for expansion project, the committee considered the proposal as ‘B1’ category without public consultation {as per para 7(i) III Stage (3) (i)(b) and para 7(ii)} and prescribed Term of Reference (TOR) vide letter dated 08/04/10. The project proponent submitted final EIA report and revised application form -I vide letter dated 15/04/10.

The EIA submitted by the project proponent was placed in the 58 th meeting of SEAC held on 18/06/10.
