3 Compliance by CGPL with the Environmental, Health & Safety
Requirements
3.1 Compliance to IFC & ADB Requirements
This section in brief outlines the environmental performance of the project for the period FY
2013-14 in consistent with the IFC Performance Standards & EHS Guidelines, ADB
Summary Environmental Impact Assessment including Environmental Management Plan
developed for the project. The assessment and findings matrix has been presented in Table 1
for necessary reference.
A. Environmental Performance
3.1.1 Environment Organization Structure & Capacity Building
CGPL has engaged a Senior Environment Manager on-site since Mar 2014 as a step
towards strengthening the onsite environmental management team to address environmental
aspects of the project, facilitate regulatory liasioning and corporate sustainability initiatives
specific to the region. The Senior Environmental Manager is currently being supported
by an Executive- Environment. Further CGPL also has in place a fully equipped
environmental laboratory to perform monitoring of pollutants in flue gas and ambient
air and recording of meteorological data. Additionally both manual and online monitoring
of cooling water temperature is being undertaken at various stretches along the outfall
channel including the point of discharge.
3.1.2 Integrated Management System (IMS) Development
CGPL in coordination with an external consultant has prepared the draft IMS which is to
subjected to a State I audit during April 2014. Review of the IMS procedures on environment
management reveals the absence of key procedures related to baseline environmental
monitoring, performance evaluation of pollution abatement systems and
regulatory/stakeholder reporting. Further applicable funding agency requirements have
not been adequately covered as part of this IMS. Stage I IMS audit to be initiated on a
fast track basis including fulfillment of gaps identified towards sufficiency of the
environmental management procedures.
3.1.3 Consent Management
CGPL is assessed to possess valid environmental permits/consents for project operations,
hazardous and biomedical waste management from Gujarat Pollution Control Board, MoEF
and is carrying out periodic compliance reporting to these regulatory authorities as required
under specific consent conditions. However reportedly CGPL is in the process of
amendment of the consent condition related to the stringent flue gas emission standards
specified in the consent given the standards are below the national standards and also
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra
July 2014 5 SENES
taking into account the considerable challenges and design limitation associated to meet
the same.
3.1.4 Coal Quality & Consumption
CGPL is currently utilizing blended coal (68% Ecocoal, 30% Melawan coal and 2% SA coal)
for operation of all the 5 units; however the use of SA coal is limited and it is primarily Eco-
Melawan blend which is being used. Review of the coal quality and consumption records for
the period 2013-14 reveal that the CGPL is currently in compliance to the project
Environmental Clearance (EC) requirement to this aspect. However CGPL need to
periodically monitoring the consumption of coal and also update the EMP by
suggestions/recommendations made in the study report on blended coal prepared by the
external consultant.
3.1.5 Fly Ash Management
Review of fly ash generation and utilization records for the period 2013-14 reveals generation
of 532093 tonnes of ash of which nearly 25% has been utilized through sale to Sanghi and
Binani cements while the remaining has been disposed in ash dyke. As discussed earlier
CGPL has now finalized the ―Fly Ash Utilization Note‖ prepared to facilitate 50% ash
utilization in the first year and currently in the process of driving implementation of fly ash
utilization proposal to this regard. This includes – a) use of fly ash in Ready Mix Concrete
based on the fly ash market in Mumbai b) export of fly ash through M/s Dr. Hemant
Nadkarni and Associates c) utilization of fly ash in value added products viz. Pozzo Slag and
Sand Aggregate and d) sale of fly ash to Ambuja Cement for their Kodinar Plant. In view of
the above discussion CGPL need to put on fast track the implementation of fly ash
utilization option to achieve the 75% utilization target for 2nd
year as per the
requirement of Fly Ash Notification dated 2009 and also periodically update the
lenders/stakeholder on the overall implementation status.
3.1.6 Ash Pond – Structural Integrity & Leachate Collection
The ash pond at the project site was found to be subjected to potential stress resulting from
movement of heavy vehicles and indiscriminate disposal of ash along the dyke walls has
led to overflow of ash pond supernatant from toe drains including erosion of
downstream slope of dyke. Based on the aforesaid scenario CGPL has now prepared an
―Ash Pond Inspection Checklist‖ and engaged a Cross Functional Team (CFT) to periodically
monitor the performance of ash pond. Further a joint internal audit has been conducted by
both CGPL and TCE to develop an action plan to resolve the ash pond performance and
maintenance issues. Reportedly and as observed CGPL has initiated the implementation of
the action plan to address ash pond stability related problems however the progress of
the same need to be verified during the subsequent audits.

3.1.7 Hazardous Waste Management
Biomedical waste generated from the onsite CGPL Occupational Health Centre is being
managed through waste disposal facility operated by Distromed Bio Clean Pvt. Ltd at
Kuvadwa, Rajkot. With respect to biomedical waste management, CGPL is found to be in
compliance with the relevant provision of Biomedical Waste (Management & Handling)
Rules 1998 (as amended 2011) having valid authorization, records maintained and annual
reports submitted to relevant authorities.
CGPL possess valid hazardous waste authorization (expiring on May 2016) from GPCB as
occupier of the facility generating the following hazardous wastes viz. used oil, discarded
chemical containers, spent ion exchange resins, chemical sludge from waste treatment, waste
residue containing oil, spent solvents etc. Also as required under the provision of Hazardous
Waste (Management, Handling &Transboundary Movement) Rules 2008 CGPL is
continuing with the submission of annual returns specifying details of hazardous waste
disposal to GPCB in prescribed format. For the period 2013-14 a total of 31.8 MT of used oil
and been disposed through M/s N. K. Lubricants Pvt. Ltd. – an authorized hazardous waste
recycler.
ETP sludge (identified as hazardous waste under Hazardous Waste Rules) generated from
effluent treatment is being disposed in lined ash pond instead of the GPCB authorized TSDF
facility of M/s SEPPL as required under the waste authorization issued. The ETP sludge has
been analyzed to be of non-hazardous nature and the same has been communicated to GPCB
to seek necessary amendment in the waste authorization. CGPL to proactively liase with
GPCB to facilitate amendment of the “Consolidated Consent & Authorization” issued
with respect to ETP sludge disposal.
With respect to storage the hazardous waste storage area, it was found to lack display of
danger signages, proper labeling of waste containers and provisions of fire-fighting
equipment which need to be made available to address any emergency situations and
comply with consent/permit requirements.
3.1.8 Management of Cooling Water Discharge
The online monitoring of cooling water temperature near ash silo bridge and manual
monitoring near retaining wall for the period 2013-14 reveals a maximum average
temperature difference of 4.85 and 4.60°C respectively. This is found to be in compliance
with the temperature difference standard of 7ºC specified at the cooling water discharge point
by EC Amendment condition dated 5th April’07.
With all five units in operation, CGPL has engaged NIO for carrying out validation modeling
for temperature and salinity dispersion at the cooling water discharge location. Field study to
this regard has been completed by NIO in December 2013 with data analysis under progress.
It is recommended that EMP is updated based on the NIO Model Conformity Study
output.

July 2014 7 SENES
On the shoreline erosion related concern raised by Tragadi villages from dredging activities,
with respect to increase in shoreline erosion from dredging activities, necessary efforts has
been made by CGPL to stabilize the shore through use of concrete blocks along a
portion of the coastal stretch. Further discussions are in progress with the village
inhabitants for laying concrete blocks along the remaining stretch.
3.1.9 Performance of Waste Water Treatment Facilities
Sewage generated onsite is being managed through commissioning and operation of sewage
treatment plants (STPs) at the labour colonies (2 X 500 KLD capacity) and project site.
However the performance of STPs installed at the labor colonies were found to be adversely
affected and non-functional due to corrosion and leaks in the piping network and control
valves. Hence it is necessary for CGPL to initiate immediate replacement and/or repair of
the labour colony STP pipeline network. At the same time CGPL also need develop and
implement periodic inspection checklists to evaluate the performance of the waste water
treatment facilities.
Due to the non-functioning of the labour colony STPs no treated water monitoring results
were available for review throughout the year except for the Apr-Jun’13 quarter. The results
of the project site STP was found to function satisfactorily with the treated water monitoring
results complying with the standards specified in the consent. In view of this it is
recommended for CGPL to conduct periodic inspection of the STPs and supervise O&M
vendor performance and capability as found to be necessary.
Owing to the non-functioning of the STPs untreated sewage was found to be used for green
belt development activities thereby non-complying with the legal requirements. CGPL need
to immediately discontinue the reuse of untreated sewage for green belt development
given the potential liability and legal compliance related issues/risks.
An effluent treatment plant (ETP) of capacity 55m3/hr has been commissioned and
operational since April ’11 to treat the run-off/drainage from coal stockpile, boiler blow down
and condenser cooling water (for once through cooling system). Review of effluent (ETP
treated water in guard pond) monitoring records for the period 2013-14 in nearly 99% of the
cases reveals compliance to the parameters specified by CPCB for Thermal Power Plant
Effluents under Environmental Protection Rules 1986.
With regard to ash pond dewatering activities owing to the O&M activities in progress the
former was found to be discharged into the outfall channel following monitoring of
parameters (pH, suspended solids and oil & grease) specified in the consent condition.
However CGPL also need to assess the quality of ash pond effluent with respect to the
presence of any heavy metals as outlined in the World Bank Guidelines for Thermal
Power Plants.
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra
July 2014 8 SENES
3.1.10 Flue Gas Emissions & ESP Performance
CGPL performs regular monitoring of flue gas emissions both online using Continuous
Emission Monitoring System (CEMS) and manually to check conformance with the emission
standards specified by World Bank Group Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants at same time
evaluating the performance of electrostatic precipitators (ESPs) and low NOx burners
installed as air pollution control devices.
Statistical analysis of online monitoring data for flue gas emission for the period 2013-14
reveals that the average values of all pollutants to be in compliance in to World Bank
emission standards. However with respect to the 98th
percentile values exceedances were
observed in few cases for PM and NOx owing to the initial start up and shut down operation
during the Apr-Jun’13 quarter.
Interpretation of manual monitoring results in all cases reveals compliance to the World Bank
emission standards but failed to meet the standards specified for these pollutants in the
consolidated consent issued. Hence it is recommended that CGPL liase with GPCB to
facilitate the fast track amendment of the consent conditions related to flue gas emission
standards. In this regard CGPL has also assessed the challenges for unable to meet the
standards specified in the legal document and the same has been communicated to
GPCB vide the amendment application.
3.1.11 Ground Water Monitoring
The quality of ground water near ash pond area is being assessed by CGPL through regular
monitoring of the bore wells installed within the project site. The ground water conforms to
IS 10500 drinking water standards for all parameters except for fluoride, total dissolved
solids (TDS), chloride, lead, iron coliforms and turbidity. For all quarters the average values
of turbidity, fluoride, TDS chloride and coliforms has been found to be exceeding the
drinking water quality standards specified for these parameters. High TDS and chloride
concentration in the bore well samples is characteristic of the ground water quality in this
region. However for fluoride it is likely to be contributed by fly ash leachate based on which
it is recommended that CGPL undertakes ash pond leachate analysis for fluoride.
3.1.12 Ambient Air & Noise Quality Monitoring
CGPL continues to assess the potential impacts of the project operations on ambient
environment through monthly monitoring of air and noise quality at various receptor
locations. The receptor locations have been selected based on their proximity to the project
facilities viz. coal conveyor, coal stockpile etc, predominant wind direction and topography.
Review of village level ambient air quality monitoring data reveals compliance to National
Ambient Air Quality Standards (NAAQS) except for PM10 (99.8-172.3 µg/m3) which is
found to exceed the standard (100 µg/m3) specified for this pollutant in all cases. This is
typical for coastal locations in this region and also attributed due to the proximity of some
villages viz. Vandh to the coal conveyors of Adani and CGPL thermal power plants.
Annual Environmental & Social Performance Report (FY 13-14) – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra
July 2014 9 SENES
Similarly the ambient air quality within project premises was also found to be in compliance
to the NAAQS except for PM with values ranging within 104.5-164.0 µg/m3.
Day time noise level monitored at the receptor locations were found to be in compliance with
the day time noise standards with slight exceedance noted for Vandh village for the first
quarter. However for night time the noise level at all locations exceeded the night time
standards and was primarily high in case of Vandh village which is located in close proximity
to Adani and CGPL coal conveyors. In view of this CGPL has already adopted necessary
control measures viz. use of closed conveyors, peripheral green belt development etc. and is
also carrying out periodic monitoring to assess the efficiency of the management measures
and plan necessary intervention, as may be required. For noise monitored within project
premises all values were found to be complying with the day and night time noise standard
specified in the CC&A.
3.1.13 Green Belt Development & Mangrove Afforestation
Green belt development program has been implemented by CGPL throughout the project site
particularly near the ICSH area, ash pond etc. which have been identified as potential fugitive
emission sources. For the period 2013-14 a total of 515876 saplings have been planted
covering an area of~230 ha with an average survival rate ~95.7%. This represents nearly 19%
of the project area (1242 ha) as compared to 33% which is required to be covered under green
belt in accordance to the EC requirement. During the period of review CGPL has planned to
cover 383 Ha of area for green belt by July, 2014. CGPL need to sustain with the green
belt development progress to ensure compliance with the EC condition and also to
maintain heterogeneity of plant species being used (particularly those tolerant to fly ash
and sulphur dioxide) and further improve upon the species survival rate.
In addition to green belt development, CGPL has completed mangrove afforestation along
with Gujarat Ecological Commission and Kantiyajal Tavar Vikas Samiti (KTVS)at coastal
village of Kantiyajal encompassing 1000 ha of land thereby complying with the CRZ
clearance requirement.

1 Old Green Belt Development In line with EC requirement a total 229.53 ha of
project area (coal stockpile, coal conveyor, ash
pond etc.) has been covered under green belt
development for the period April 2013 -March
2014 through plantation of 515876 saplings with
an average survival rate of ~95.7% which higher
compared to the survival rate (88%) recorded for
the previous year. No plantation has been carried
out for the months of May, Oct and Dec 2013. Of
33% of the total project area (1242 ha) to be
covered under green belt, the current progress is
about 18.5%.The details of the green belt
development undertaken for the period Apr 2013 -
Mar 2014 is presented in Annexure 1.
In some areas the green belt is lacking
heterogeneity and usage of plant species tolerant
particularly to fly ash and sulphur dioxide
Continue with the green belt development
efforts to fulfill EC requirement of
covering 1/3rd of project area under green
belt.
Efforts need to be made to ensure
plantation is being carried out for all
months to further improve on survival rate.
Heterogeneity of green belt to be
maintained throughout the project area.
Further efforts to be made to maximize the
plantation of plant species tolerant to fly
ash and sulphur dioxide in consistent with
the CPCB Guidelines for Developing
Green Belts.

2 Old Integrated Management
System (IMS) Development
A draft IMS is already in place and is in the
process of being subjected to Stage I audit
scheduled for April 2014.
Review of the IMS reveals that the following
procedures have been drafted with respect to
environmental viz. Conservation of Natural
Resources, Non Hazardous and Hazardous Waste
Management, Used Lead Acid Batteries
Management, Biomedical Waste Management, E-
Waste Management, Oil & Chemical Spill
Management, Domestic Effluent Management,
Control of Vehicular Emissions, Control of Noise
Generated from Equipments, Control of
Contractor & Visitors at Work Place and Control
of Purchase of Goods. However there exist no
procedure related to monitoring (marine water,
ecology and sediments, ambient air & noise etc),
assessing the performance of pollution prevention
and abatement systems (process and domestic
effluent, process emissions etc.) and reporting to
regulatory agencies and stakeholders. Further the
applicable legal (CTO, EC etc) and funding
agency requirements have not been adequately
covered in these environmental procedures.
Undertake implementation of Stage I audit
to assess the sufficiency of the
environment management procedures and
identify gaps related to fulfillment of the
requirements specified in the project

environmental and social implication of blended
coal use (70% Ecocoal and 30% Melawan coal).
Though the study has not revealed any potential
environmental risks in terms of increased coal
consumption, augmentation of coal handling &
transport system and existing pollution control
equipment etc it has specified the need of increase
in operational time of Internal Coal Handling
System (ICHS) and increase in handling of coal
quantities at the West Port resulting from blended
coal use. The study also recognizes adequate
storage and fugitive emission control facilities at
the West Port to cater to the additional coal load
and which will be further supplemented by the
existing Port Service Agreement with M/s Adani
Port.

4 Old Quality of blended coal In order to meet the challenges associated with the
increase in imported coal prices, CGPL is
presently utilizing low calorific blended coal.
Review of quality reports for blended coal (Eco,
Melawan & SA) used during the period 2013-14
reveal ash and sulfur content to vary within 3.89-
6.37% and 0.19-0.41% respectively. This is found
to be in compliance with the EC condition which
require ash and sulfur content in coal to be ≤10%
and ≤1% respectively. Unit wise details of the
quality of blended coal for the aforesaid period
used have been presented in Annexure 2.

6 Old Fly Ash Utilization In view of the regulatory requirement and earlier
audit recommendation CGPL has obtained
management approval of the ―Fly Ash Utilization‖
note and is currently pursuing implementation of
the proposals formulated to ensure 50% fly ash
utilization from 1st years onwards. Copy of the
approved note is enclosed as Annexure 3.
Review of ash utilization records for the period
2013-14 reveals ash usage of ~25% primarily
through sale to Sanghi and Binani cement units.
However this is found to be below the 50%
threshold to be achieved for 1st year of project
operation as per legal requirement. The fly ash
generation and utilization report as submitted to
MoEF for 2013-14 is provided in Annexure 4.
Presently utilization of fly ash through the
aforesaid industries is still being continued along
with the following options being explored and/or
implemented to maximize fly ash utilization in
order to meet legal norms for the 2nd year wherein
Put on fast track the implementation of fly
ash utilization options already approved by
the CGPL management in order to achieve
75% utilization from 2nd year onwards.

planning to send a trial shipment of 1500 MT
to Mumbai to explore the feasibility of this
option.
Fly Ash Export: A three year contract signed
with M/s Dr. Hemant Nadkarni & Associates
for export of fly ash. Trial shipment already
sent with a quantity of 250000MT/annum
expected to be exported till 2017.
Use in Value Added Products: Use of fly ash
in the preparation of PozzoSlag and Sand
Aggregate is being evaluated in coordination
with M/s VHSC and M/s Zaaksand, Germany
respectively.
Use in Cement Manufacturing: In addition to
Binani and Sanghi Cement, CGPL has plans
to sell fly ash to Ambuja Cement for their
Kodinar Plant for which a 10 year contract is
at an advance stage of negotiation. Given
daily sale of 750 TPD of fly ash to Ambuja
the option is likely to prove sustainable if
implemented.

7 Old Hazardous Waste
Management (Permit
Requirements)
Chemical sludge generated from ETP is by default
considered as a hazardous waste and therefore
authorization for the generation, storage and
treatment/disposal (through authorized vendors)
for the same has been obtained from GPCB during
April 2013. Although it is required that the sludge
is disposed through GPCB authorized TSDF of
M/s SEPPL presently it is being disposed in the
ash pond. In this regard it has earlier been
recommended that CGPL undertake analysis of
the sludge for the presence of hazardous
components, if any and seek necessary
amendment to the CTO condition as found to be
necessary.
In view of the above CGPL has got the ETP
sludge analyzed for hazardous characteristics (if
any) through M/s Kadam Environmental
Consultants during Mar-13. Review of the report
indicates that the sludge is of non-hazardous
nature and the same has been communicated to
GPCB vide letter dated 4th June 2013 for
necessary response and action.
Amendment to the ―Consolidated Consent
& Authorization‖ with respect to ETP
sludge disposal need to be sought on a fast
track basis through intervention and

was also observed for the 98th percentile values
computed for NOx for the months of Apr-Dec’13
with data ranging within 181.7-1560.3mg/Nm3.
Manual monitoring of flue gas for the period
2013-14 was found meet the World Bank
standards for the following pollutants: PM (22.2-
29.2 mg/Nm3), NOx (354.3-375.2 mg/Nm3) and
SO2 (729.8-801.3mg/Nm3). However the NOx
(172.8-183.0 ppm) and SO2 (255.2-280.2 ppm)
values exceeded the permissible limit specified for
these pollutants i.e. 50ppm for NOx and 100ppm
for SO2 in the CC&A issued by GPCB. Given that
the project has been designed and is being
operated for low sulfur content coal (<1%) and
low NOx burner rated at 385ppm CGPL considers
it challenging to meet this stringent standards
specified for both NOx and SO2. Although CGPL
by its application dated 11th Jan 2012 has
requested for amendment of certain specific
CC&A conditions by GPCB including flue gas
emission norms, no response to this regard has
been received till date. Further CGPL has also
assessed the limitations in being able to meet such
standards and the same has been shared with
GPCB vide the amendment application.

Though the earlier observation made towards
repair of the damaged concrete tiling of the ash
pond has been addressed by CGPL the following
additional observations were made for the period
2013-14:
Potential stress on the dyke bunds and walls
resulting from movement of heavy vehicles
and indiscriminate disposal of bottom ash

proper stabilization measures.
Localized deposition of bottom ash
through the discharge line due to its high
density leading to stress and subsequent
damage of the dyke walls.

awareness, incident reporting, visual aids etc. CGPL continues to demonstrate considerable
improvement of onsite health and safety performance. The detailed assessment of the annual
health and safety performance is presented in Table 2 while subsequent sections provide a
brief overview of the same.
3.1.14 HSE Management System
CGPL has adopted the health and safety system (with guidance form Dupont) that includes
well defined performance standards, procedures and guidelines (HIRA, SCAR, etc.), safety
awareness programs (Safety Time Out) and establishing key performance indicators (e.g. lost
time incidents, severity rate, near miss etc.), which are used to track compliance with Health
and Safety (H&S) targets. Now with project operations CGPL need to obtain IMS
certification on a fast track basis and ensure operational plans/procedures are in
consistent with the occupational health and safety requirements outlined in the IFC
EHS Guidelines.
3.1.15 HSE Organizational Structure
With project now in full scale operation CGPL has in place a dedicated O&M team
comprising of Dept. Heads, Line Managers, and Operational Contractor taking care of O&M
as well as balance construction activities.
3.1.16 Safety Awareness Programs/Plans
Specific health and safety plans and onsite emergency plan have been developed &
augmented on regular basis by CGPL and communicated to contractors including the
operations team. The plans outline the policies and strategies, the organization, resources and
documentation required, the HS risk management principles, and reporting requirements.
With project under operation potential health and safety risks is currently limited to activities
like switchyard ―hot line washing‖, insulation, floor grating etc. for which necessary work
permits are being issued, audited and activities supervised by a dedicated project O&M team.
Various plans/initiatives viz. Safety Intervention Audits, Process Safety Management
System, implementation of safety time out program & PSUSR checklist etc. have been
implemented by CGPL to ensure continual improvement in project operations as well.
In addition to the above efforts have been made by CGPL to enhance safety related
awareness both at village and project level through organization of training programs,
competitions and screening safety awareness related audio-visuals

3.1.17 Health & Safety Incidents
A total of 2 fatalities and a fire incident have been reported for the period 2013-14. One of
the fatalities has resulted from injuries caused due to sudden falls of concrete slabs on a
contractor worker during unloading activities while the other fatality was caused due to fall of
an argon cylinder on a contractor worker. Necessary investigations have been carried out to
this regard with CGPL required to update the Contractor HSE Plan based on the
recommendations made as part of the investigation.
In addition to the above fatalities a major fire took place at the coal conveyor within the plant
premises and resulted in extensive damage to the conveyor leading to the stoppage of the
plant units. Investigation undertaken and preventive measures has been identified with CGPL
required to develop an action plan to implement the preventive and corrective measures

4 New Use of blended coal As earlier discussed CGPL has carried out a stand-
alone study through M/s VishuddhEnvirotech to
assess the environmental and social implication
associated with the use of blended coal. The study
identifies that the use of blended coal will be
leading to the increase in coal handling capacity at
West Port and augmentation of operational time of
ICSH.
In line with the earlier audit recommendation
CGPL is yet to assess the fire safety preparedness
at West Port and potential safety risks, if any due
to increase in operational time of ICHS. This gain
importance taking into account the coal conveyor
fire incident reported in the last quarter.
Although necessary preventive measures have
been taken by CGPL to address the risk through i)
improvement of housekeeping at the ICHS area
through engagement of a dedicated contractor
having adequate manpower and ii) complying with
the ICHS preventive maintenance schedule.
However this should be supported by assessing the
potential health and safety risks resulting from the
increase in ICHS operational time.
Assess and evaluate i) fire safety
preparedness at West Port due to increased
coal storage and handling and ii) potential
safety risk, if any due to increase in ICHS

circulated among stakeholders. Documents and database of Land Sellers/Titleholders has
been prepared and maintained by CGPL.
A direct communication with the communities in the local language through newsletters to
highlight programs and individuals success stories is also showcased. CIC is now enhanced to
meet the requirements as were envisaged during the planning and setting up of the CIC.
4.1.4 Community Development Plan
Community Development Plan (CDP) has been prepared in fulfillment of IFC requirements.
CDP is based on the thematic areas identified and approved for CSR interventions for Tata
Power and contains all programs and initiatives by CGPL at Mundra.
There is both internal and external monitoring of CSR activities. The CDP with Annual
Business Plan (ABP) is now the basis for CSR activities for the following year. Annual status
report of completed activities is also prepared for the preceding year. The ABP developed by
CGPL encompasses the need of the communities, commitments of CGPL that are required to
comply with the commitments to lenders, and those even beyond the compliance
requirements. This is also periodically reviewed by CGPL.

2 Management Program New With the Unit#1 of the project under
operation and the remaining to follow the
management system need to be up-
graded to incorporate the EHSS risks and
subsequent management measures in
consistent with the regulatory and lender
requirements
Develop and implement an Integrated
Management System (IMS) for
operations to address the potential
EHSS risks and demonstrate improved
project performance in consistent with
the regulatory and lender requirements.
Further the IMS is required to outline
the desired outcomes as measurable
events to the extent possible, with

7 Human Resource Policy Old Assessed to be generally in compliance
with all the standards relating working
conditions and worker relationship
management. However the
documentation and redressal of
grievances related to basic labor
requirements of the workforce residing
outside the project boundary is found to
be inadequate.
Sustain with project progress. However
CGPL need to regularly monitor and

coal stock piles.
Install and operate automated systems
such as temperature gauges (on posts)
in open stockpiles and carbon
monoxide or temperature sensors in
coal bunkers in consistent with the
requirement of IFC EHS Guidelines for
Thermal Power Plants.
High Necessary fire prevention and
control measures viz. coal
compaction, use of water
sprinklers etc and temperature
sensors have already been
installed by CGPL to control
any potential fire safety risk
from open coal stockpiles.
10 Supply Chain Old No specific need assessed - - -
Pollution Prevention and Abatement
12 General Requirements New Design stage pollution prevention
measures have been found to be
adequate. However given such pollution
control technologies have been designed
based on Indonesian imported coal
characteristics taking into account the
uncertainties associated with the supply
of imported coal due to unprecedented
rise in price in Indonesian coal prices it
is likely to have a bearing on the existing
pollution prevention measures if
alternative options are being considered
by CGPL.
Assess and evaluate the potential EHS
impacts associated with alternative coal
sourcing options being considered and
communicate the same to the
concerned regulatory authorities &
stakeholders for necessary reference
and action.
High With CGPL currently catering
to the use of Eco Blend coal
(characterized by higher ash
content compared to imported
coal) an external agency has
been engaged to assess the
environmental implications of
use such blended coal. The
study has not revealed any
potential environmental risks in
terms of increased coal
consumption, augmentation of
coal handling & transport
system and existing pollution
control equipment etc it has
specified the need of increase in
operational time of Internal
Coal Handling System (ICHS)
and increase in handling of coal
quantities at the West Port

The study also recognizes
adequate storage and fugitive
emission control facilities at the
West Port to cater to the
additional coal load and which
will be further supplemented by
the existing Port Service
Agreement with M/s Adani
Port.
13 Pollution Prevention,
Resource Conservation
& Energy Efficiency
New With Unit#1 under operation CGPL has
installed and operated an online opacity
meter and Continuous Emission
Monitoring system to monitor the level
of criteria air pollutants viz. PM, SOx
and NOx in consistent with regulatory
and lender requirements.

14 New In consistent with EC requirement CGPL
has implemented a once through cooling
system with the circulating system
designed to attain temperature of less
than 7oC above the ambient seawater
temperature. This has been further
substantiated through dispersion
modeling study undertaken by NIO and
cooling water temperature being
monitored online at both intake and
outfall channel (from bridge over outfall
channel near ash pond area) since Unit#1
COD. Also CGPL has engaged an
agency to undertake regular monitoring
of cooling water discharge parameters
from Apr’12 onwards.
Validation study of cooling water

15 Wastes New With transition of construction to
operations the CGPL has identified
potential waste sources (including
hazardous) during this stage along with
their characteristics and generation
quantity and appropriate management
measures have already been put in place
for the same. The primary waste
generation activities includes
commissioning and operation of ETP,
STP and biogas plant; construction of
ash pond for disposal of bottom ash
slurry; ensuring reuse of fly ash through
cement manufactures and other
industries; obtaining authorization from
GPCB for recycle and/or disposal of
hazardous waste through authorized
recycler and disposal facilities etc.
Need to be sustained with project
progress. Finalize contract with cement
manufacturing and related industries to
ensure 100% reuse of fly ash on a fast
track basis.
Medium For details refer Sl.No. 6 of
Table 1.
18 Hazardous Materials Old CGPL is not involved any manufacture,
trade, and use of chemicals and
hazardous materials subject to
international bans or phase-outs due to
their high toxicity to living organisms,
environmental persistence, potential for
bioaccumulation, or potential for
depletion of the ozone layer.
CGPL has already obtained necessary
authorization from GPCB temporary
storage, handling and disposal of
hazardous waste (used oil, discarded
chemical containers, spent ion exchange
resins, spent solvent, discarded asbestos
The conditions outlined with respect to
the management of hazardous waste in

Old CGPL has identified the risk associated
with process upset, accidents etc during
operations including the training &
resource needs, responsibilities,
communication, procedures, and other
aspects required to effectively respond to
emergencies associated with such
hazards. CGPL presently plan to
document the same as an Emergency
Preparedness & Response Plan as part of
project IMS documentation.
Operational risks identified need to be
reviewed and evaluated in line with
IFC Performance Standards, IFC EHS
Guidelines and IFC-CGPL covenants
prior to incorporation in the IMS.

21 General Requirements New Community health impacts are
anticipated from fugitive emissions
generated from open coal stockpiles and
coal conveyor operation. This has been
further established based on grievance
expressed by Vandh village communities
residing in close proximity to the coal
conveyor.
Fugitive emission control measures
need to be implemented by CGPL at
coal stockpiles and coal conveyor in
consistent with regulatory and lender
requirements.
High With a view to control fugitive
emission CGPL has already
implemented water spraying
system at coal storage areas and
at crushing units; installed has

Vandh village CGPL has
implemented the following
additional measures viz.
Peripheral green belt
development.
Erection of wind barrier
Provision of physical
barrier along the coal
conveyor route.
Dry fog system at the coal
transfer point
22 Community exposure to
diseases
Old Currently awareness on potential
community exposures to disease
especially due to large labour influx is
non existence. This specific concern
gains prominence due to sparse local
population and a very high regional
labour influx
Review potential sources of such
community exposure (transferable
diseases) and build sufficient capacity
with the onsite health infrastructure to
be able to address this concern.
Low With the project completely
under operation there has been a
steady decline of contractor
workforce engaged for
construction. With the those
currently staying at the labour
camps and working onsite the
medical records and the
discussion with medical staff do
not reveal presence or treatment
of any worker for transferable
disease till date. Further
periodic health checkup for
workers has brought down the
risk associated with the diseases
exposure of the local
population.

Grievances to be shared with
stakeholders.
Focused consultations with the project
affected people to be carried out
periodically.
High CGPL to continue with their
sustained efforts in carrying out
regular community
consultations. Reporting and
documentation of such meetings
is now included in reports being
disseminated as part of
stakeholder communication.
Old Risk identification and Mitigation has
become critical due to some components
of design affecting long term CSR
activities. Risk identification and
mitigation requires focused work and
shared responsibilities with various
departments. Risks if addressed only by
CSR are likely to affect long term
community development work.
Involvement of key departments in
identifying risks or potential concerns
likely to result in risks and planning
measures to mitigate risks.
Training of key team consisting of
officials from various departments for
negotiating with communities.
High CR is the main Dept. involved
with communities in CGPL.
Risk mitigation activities now
undertaken by respective
departments that the risk can be
best dealt with, and with
guidance / support from the CR
team as required.
