Executive Summary of Draft EIA Report

Ambient Air Quality Monitoring reveals that concentrations of PM2.5 for all the 8 AAQM stations ranged between 14.81 g/m3 to g/m3 28.44. The concentration of PM10 ranged between 35.67 g/m3 to 59.11 g/m3.The maximum & minimum concentrations of SO2 were found to be 6.03 g/m3 & 7.64 g/m3 respectively whereas concentrations of NO2 ranged between 11.27 g/m3 & 16.68 g/m3. The ground water analysis for all the 8 sampling stations shows that pH varies from 7.07 to 7.91, total hardness varies from 54.00 mg/l to 181.80 mg/l & total dissolved solids varies from 93 mg/l to 221 mg/l. Soil Samples indicate pH value ranging from 6.40 to 6.98, which shows that the soil is moderately alkaline in nature. Organic Matter ranges from 1.19 to 1.82 in the soil samples. Nitrogen is found to be in better amount as it ranges from 150.03 kg/ha to 240.75 kg/ha and Phosphorous in medium amount i.e. from 35.46 kg/ha to 77.46 kg/ha, respectively, whereas the Potassium is found to be ranging from 55.39 kg/ha to 167.85 kg/ha.

ANTICIPATED ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACTS

The key emissions generated from Plant process are particulate matter. High efficiency bag house will be installed in grinding unit to meet the PM (Particulate Matter) emission level. Fugitive emission shall through controlled by proper covered storage facilities for raw material & product. Installation of bag filters and proper water sprinkling shall be carried out at the material transfer points. No industrial waste water will be generated from grinding unit. Domestic effluent will be generated mainly from office toilets and township, which will be disposed off in soak pits via septic tank. There will be no discharge outside the plant.

PROJECT BENEFITS

The companys management will recruit the semi skilled & unskilled workers from the nearby villages, hence rapidly increasing the social status of the villagers. The company will act as a catalyst for accelerating the all-round development process in the surrounding villages of the project site. It will provide services to ensure that the full-benefits of development schemes of the Government and other agencies reach to the villagers. Fly ash and Slag will be used in proposed cement grinding unit which are generated from captive thermal power plant and steel plant as solid waste exist in vicinity of the proposed project site.

Proposed Cement Grinding Unit (1.5 MTPA) and DG Sets (2X6MW). At Villages: Ghantikhal, Radheyshampur, Tehsil: Athagarh, District: Cuttack (Orissa)

Executive Summary of Draft EIA Report

The major sources of pollution are particulate matter from grinding unit. Installation of proper pollution control equipment like Bag Houses, Bag filters and better maintenance will help in reducing such emissions. Fly ash, and Finish Product will be stored in silos. Clinker will be stored in silos /covered stock piles and gypsum will be stored in covered shed. Covered conveyors will be utilized for transportation inside the plant. Personal Protective equipments like dust mask will be provided to the workers. Green belt will be developed all along the plant boundary as dust preventive barrier. Regular Ambient Air Quality Monitoring will be done. 5.2 WATER POLLUTION MANAGEMENT There will be no waste water generation from the proposed grinding unit. The domestic effluent generated will be disposed off in soak pits via septic tank. There will be no discharge outside the plant. Rain water harvesting will be done within the plant premises. 5.3 NOISE POLLUTION MANAGEMENT Proper care will be taken by incorporating sound-proof enclosures for equipments and providing earmuffs and earplugs for operators. Proper maintenance, oiling and greasing of machines at regular intervals will be done to reduce generation of noise. Noise attenuating devices like earplugs and earmuffs will be provided to the workers exposed to high noise level. Green belt will be developed all along the plant boundary . Noise level monitoring shall be done on regular basis. 5.4 SOLID WASTE MANAGEMENT

Executive Summary of Draft EIA Report

No solid waste will be generated from the proposed grinding unit. However, material collected by the dust collectors (Bag House/Bag Filters) will automatically be recycled in the process. JKLCL will implement the following measures for solid waste management within the plant premises: Maintenance to prevent spillage and leakage Recycling of the collected spillage JKLCL, to prevent spillage and leakage will implement the following maintenance. The maintenance include inventory for the leakage/ spillage, and to investigate and prevent: Holes in bends etc. caused by the abrasive character of the materials. Deterioration of flexible joints, flaps and seals. 5.5 GREEN BELT DEVELOPMENT/ PLANTATION Approx. 33% of the total project area will be developed under green belt/plantation. Green belt will be developed all along the plant boundary as dust preventive barrier. The trees will be planted at suitable grid spacing to encourage proper growth. Tree plantation will be done every year in the campus to develop dense green belt. Species will be selected as per CPCB guidelines & local forest department. Green belt will be developed all along the plant boundary as dust preventive barrier.

Executive Summary of Draft EIA Report

As discussed, it is safe to say that the project is not likely to cause any significant impact on the ecology of the area, as adequate preventive measures will be adopted to control the various pollutants within permissible limits. Green belt development around the area would also be taken up as an effective pollution mitigative technique, as well as to control the pollutants released from the premises of JKLCL. More over this Grinding Unit will help to mitigate the disposal problem of fly ash generated from captive power plants located in the vicinity.
