desired to review the compliance status of the PHASE – I for which Environmental Clearance has already been granted.
The proponent has submitted their reply on 22.11.2011. The proponent has mentioned that as per development agreement with KMDA, the sewer line is to be connected to KMW & SA STP at Kona. However, Kona STP was too far from PHASE – I development and development planning for finalisation of the route of the sewer line could not be done for PHASE I. Hence, construction of STP of 650 KLD was considered for PHASE – I. If it is not feasible to connect the sewer line for PHASE – IA, the capacity of the existing STP will be enhanced.

Recommendations / Directions of the Committee dated 30.08.2011
Response of the Proponent dated 30.09.2011
1. The influent BOD value has been assumed to be very low in comparison to waste water usually generated from such a waste paper based mill.
1. The proponent has mentioned that they have assumed influent of BOD 600 mg/l on the basis of their raw material input and production process.
2. The influent BOD is likely to magnify due to recycling of the treated / partially treated waste water.
2. The proponent has mentioned that they will provide adequate treatment so that magnification of BOD due to recycling is less.
3. The mass vs water ratio is also not realistic. The project proponent should try to explain those ratios or should submit corrected water and mass balance diagram.
3. The proponent has stated that they have prepared water balance and mass balance statement based on their past experience. The proponent has also mentioned that the proposed water balance and mass balance is achievable.
The reply of the proponent submitted on 30.09.2011 was placed in the 60th SEAC meeting held on 24.10.2011. The committee has noted the following and the subsequent reply received on 19.12.2011 of the unit are as under :

Recommendations / Directions of the Committee dated 04.11.2011
Response of the Proponent dated 19.12.2011
1. The performance report of the existing unit has not been submitted.
1. The proponent has submitted inhouse test reports.
2. The BOD influent has been assumed on lower side and there is no specific proposal available, which ensure adequate treatment to prevent magnification of BOD concentration in the recycled water.
2. The proponent has submitted BOD calculation.
3. No plausible explanation has been provided to substantiate the claim that the water balance and mass balance, which were submitted to the SEAC earlier and was duly questioned by SEAC through earlier communications, are correct and validated.
3. The proponent has submitted mass and water balance diagram.
The reply dated 19.12.2011 of the proponent is placed before the SEAC in the 62nd SEAC meeting held on 22.12.2011 for consideration. The committee noted that even after several correspondences, the issues regarding water consumption, wastewater characteristics and treatment remained unresolved, and therefore the committee has requested the project proponent called for a detailed revised powerpoint presentation to justify the claim regarding water and wastewater and submit the hard copy of the presentation by 15.01.2012. The proponent submitted a clarification on 18.01.2012, which is placed for consideration.
The industry also submitted a letter on 25.01.2012 mentioning that they have dropped the project of cogeneration captive power plant of capacity 6 MW. They have further submitted that they would manufacture paper by hydro pulping of waste paper and deinking by using enzymes which is the latest technology in waste paper recycling in which no beaching or chlorine in any form is used. They also requested to exempt them from obtaining prior Environmental Clearance.
The case was placed for consideration in the 63rd SEAC meeting held on 31.01.2012.
After carefully considering the proposal and presentation the committee has recommended the following –
1. The project proponent shall submit a fresh FORM – I for the revised proposal which will exclude the project of cogeneration captive power plant of capacity 6 MW.
2. The project proponent should submit appropriate water balance statement and clearly indicate the water consumption per tonne of product. The proponent should indicate the number of borewells that may be required including necessary back up calculation justifying the said water requirement.
It has been decided that the case shall be further considered only after submission of the satisfactory clarification.
As per the MoEF Office Memorandum dated 30.09.2011, only the enlisted eligible consultants of the concerned sector would be permitted to certify any documents. The Environmental Consultant as well
