1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Purpose of CRZ Coastal Regulation Zone is applicable for the entire Indian Coast including the

Andaman & Nicobar Islands and the Lakshadweep & Minicoy Islands. It broadly

covers the coastal stretches of seas, bays, estuaries, creeks, rivers and

backwaters influenced by tidal action upto the defined distance into the land

from High Tide Line (HTL). The CRZ Notification was introduced with the

following three main purposes:

i) In order to arrive at a balance between development needs and

protection of natural resources,

ii) To prohibit and/or regulate the activities which are harmful for both coastal communities and environment,

iii) To plan for a sustainable management, so that the livelihoods of millions of people are protected, and the coastal environment is preserved for the future generation.

1.2. History of CRZ

• 1981 - Prime Minister Indira Gandhi's letter: Keep 500 m from the HTL free from development activities

• 1982 - Formation of Working Group on Beach Development Guidelines

• 1983 - Guidelines for the development of Beaches (Tourism, Industrial development, Urban and rural development Special areas - mangroves, scenic areas, corals, oceanic islands)

• 1986 - Implementation of Environmental Protection Act

• 1989 - Draft CRZ Notification

• 1991 - Implementation of CRZ Notification ACT

• 1994 - Supreme Court direction for strict implementation of CRZ



INDOMER

• 1996 - Approval to States CZMP

• 1997 - Constitution of Aquaculture Authority

• 1998 - Formation of National and State Coastal Zone Management Authorities

• 2001, 2005, 2007 & 2011 - Subsequent amendments in CRZ/ CMZ

Various Committees involved:

• Vohra Committee

• Saldhana Committee

• Balakrishnan Nair Committee

• Babu Paul Committee

• Swaminathan Committee

1.3. Integrated Island Management Plan (IIMP)

The Islands of Andaman & Nicobar and Lakshadweep other than the four

Islands (Greater Nicobar, Middle Andaman, North Andaman, South Andaman)

shall be managed based on the IIMPs. IIMP for 10 islands namely Agatti, Amini,

Andrott, Bitra, Chetlat, Kadmat, Kalpeni, Kavaratti, Kiltan and Minicoy of

Lakshadweep are approved and 8 islands in A&N Smith, Flat bay, Aves, and Rut

land, Havelock, Neil, Long island and Little Andaman are waited for approval.

Presently, the CRZ Notification, 2011 is followed but it is waiting for latest amendment for which Draft CRZ notification has been announced in public domain for comments.

area (No Development Zone - NDZ)

✓ Regulated Development Zone I: It includes beach (outside setback area - NDZ)

and land part of the island which is densely/ moderately populated.

7. Are there any special CRZ rules for specific coastal areas?

• Yes. There are two states, Kerala because of its unique coastal systems of

backwater and backwater islands, certain activities are regulated.

• In the case of Goa too, owing to its past history and other developments,

certain additional activities are also regulated.

• In addition to these two states, critical vulnerable coastal areas are also

identified such as the Sundarbans and other ecologically sensitive areas which

are to be managed with the involvement of the local coastal communities.

7. Risks of contamination of land or water from releases of pollutants into the ground or into

sewers, surface waters, groundwater, coastal waters or the sea:

S.

No.

Information/Checklist

confirmation Yes/No




7.1 From handling, storage, use or

spillage of hazardous materials?

No All other hazardous materials will be

temporarily stored in drums/tanks/barrels, and

later shifted to incineration or secured landfill

for disposal. Hence, there is no chance of

contamination of water streams and land.

7.2 From discharge of sewage or other

effluents to water or the land

(expected mode and place of

discharge)?

Yes The brine reject will be disposed in to the sea.

7.3 By deposition of pollutants emitted

to air into the land or into water?

No The major emissions from the proposed site

are carbon dioxide, oxygen and nitrogen along

with time specific particulate matter, SO2 and

NOx. The particulate matter will be released

from DG sets. Adequate control systems like

cyclones, dust collectors, bag filter are

provided to control the particulate matter

emissions. The emissions will be monitored

periodically to maintain within the stipulated

standards of Pollution Control Board.

7.4 From any other sources? No --

7.5 Is there a risk of long term build up

of pollutants in environment from

these sources?

No No major concerned pollutants from the

proposed production are envisaged. All

pollution control measures will be followed by

deploying a team of qualified personnel. Solid

waste generated will be treated and disposed

off in a scientific manner so that no long term

effects can be observed. The same practice will

be followed for controlling other pollutants.

However all the pollutants will be maintained

within the prescribed limits by providing

proper Environmental Management Plan EMP),

thereby minimizing the risk of long term build

up of pollutants.

8. Risk of accidents during construction or operation of the Project, which could affect human

health or the environment

S.





8.1 From explosions, spillages, fires etc.

from storage, handling, use or

production of hazardous substances?

No Only minimum quantity of the chemicals

requires storage in the plant premises.

Spillages and fires will be handled by trained

emergency handling teams for minimum

damage.

8.2 From any other causes? No --

8.3 Could the project be affected by

natural disasters causing

environmental damage (e.g. Floods,

earthquakes, landslides, cloudburst

etc.)?

No The site selected for desalination plant is

situated in earth quake free zone, far from river

basin so no fear of floods and can be

concluded that the plant site is free from

environmental damage caused by natural

disasters.

9. Factors which should be considered (such as consequential development) which could lead to

environmental effects or the potential for cumulative impacts with other existing or

planned activities in the locality

S. No Information/Checklist

confirmation Yes/No




9.1 Lead to development of

supporting.facilities, ancillary

development or development

stimulated by the project which

could have impact on the

environment e.g.:

• Supporting infrastructure (roads,

power supply, waste or waste water

treatment, etc.)

• housing development

• extractive industries

• supply industries

• other

Yes The proposed project will have a positive

impact on the overall development of the

nearby villages and the region in respect to the

following:

Supporting infrastructure viz. roads, power

supply, water, schools, hospitals, etc. will be

developed.

Demand for housing will increase.

Large scale employment will be generated

leading to social benefits.

Demand for Supply industries will also increase

creating an ecosystem of industrialization of

the region thereby leading to holistic growth.

9.2 Lead to after-use of the site, which

could haven impact on the

environment?

No Not Envisaged. The proposed project is going

to be in operation for long term

9.3 Set a precedent for later

developments?

Yes Development of local community Improvement

in Quality of life Ecological balance by

sustainable development.

9.4 Have cumulative effects due to

proximity to other existing or

planned projects with similar

effects?

No Not envisaged.
