3.5.2 While deliberations, the EAC noted the following:- (i) The proposal has been designated as Package V of Nagpur Mumbai Expressway (80.2 km long) starting from Talegaon village, Igatpuri Taluka, Nashik District to Vadape village, Bhiwandi Taluka in Thane District (chainage km 626.00 to 706.20 i.e. 80.2 km). (ii) The protected areas within 10 km from the project boundary are Tansa Wildlife Sanctuary (2 km) and Tungareshwar National Park at a distance of 6.50 km, and as such due to applicability of general conditions, the proposal is covered under Category A in terms of the EIA Notification, 2006. (iii) The project involves 156 ha of forest land and thus requires its prior diversion for non-forestry use for implementation of the project. (iv) The proposal would also affect 90 nos of residential/commercial buildings, and thus requires their resettlement. (v) MSRDC is developing package V for the Nagpur-Mumbai Expressway to divert and redistribute heavy traffic on existing corridor. The MSRDC considered five options and ranked the feasibility based on minimising forest areas, avoiding habitation railway over bridges structures, tunnel length and project cost. Considering all the options the project proponent has opted for option 1(C) alignment which is having a total length of 80.2 km covering Talegaon, Taluka Igatpuri to Vadape, Taluka Bhiwandi.

3.5.3 The Committee, after detailed deliberations, recommended the proposal for grant of Terms of Reference, specified by the Ministry in April, 2015 as Standard ToR for the said project/activity, and for preparation of EIA/EMP reports after public consultation. The Committee also restricted the facilities likely to be provided along the alignment, which would only include highway tourism, auto and auto ancillary hub, logistic park and convenience shopping in keeping with the given charter of MSRDC.

3.6.2 The project proponent made a presentation and provided the following information to the Committee:- (i) The proposal is for expansion of the existing Kuber Industrial area at Ranpur

Village, Tehsil Ladpura, District Kota (Rajasthan). (ii) The proposed expansion would involve an additional area of 228.86 acre,

comprising a total number of 91 plots, in Ranpur village, Ladpura Tehsil of Kota district, Rajasthan and now envisaged to house stone processing (polishing, cutting, splitting etc.), steel re-rolling units falling under Category B. General engineering, stone processing (polishing, cutting & Splitting etc), Agro Food processing units, service and ancillary industries, agro and food processing industries, non-polluting industries etc are the ones housed in this expansion.

(iii) The existing Industrial area of Kuber, Ranpur has been developed in phases between 1997 and 2006 in a total area of 536.75 acres. It consists of four different parks like (i) Industrial area (Kuber), (ii) Institutional Area, Ranpur, (iii) Agro Food Park phase-I and (v) Agro Food Park phase-II; Ranpur. The agro food park had come up under a scheme of Ministry of Food Processing, Government of India.

(iv) Water requirement: During operation phase, estimated total water demand for Kuber expansion about is 962.5 KLD. The prime source of water will be Chambal River and supply provided from Public Health Engineering Department (PHED) Government of Rajasthan has agreed to supply piped water to this industrial area on seniority basis from Akhailgadh. RIICO agreed and deposited required amount with PHED for execution of the scheme at the earliest.

(v) Waste water quantity, treatment capacity, detail: Low water intensive units are envisaged in the proposed expansion. Hence wastewater generation would be either nil or very minimum. Thus, the individual units will have their own effluent treatment plants for treating their effluents and recycling the same in their units. These units will achieve Zero Liquid Discharge.

(vi) Solid waste management: Since the proposed industries, mainly, are of stone grinding, polishing and general engineering in nature the anticipated industrial solid wastes are of inert and non-toxic in character. Individual units in accordance with the directions and guidelines of State Pollution Control Board/Central Pollution Control Board will handle and manage these wastes.

(vii) Hazardous Waste Management: Used waste oil and Lead acid batteries are the anticipated hazardous wastes in the proposed expansion. Individual units shall collect their used oil and store in a secured place as per the guidelines of the pollution control board and periodically sell to the authorised recyclers in accordance with the Hazardous Waste (Management, Handling and Transboundary) Rules, 2008. The used lead acid batteries will be managed and handled in accordance with the Batteries (Management and Handling) Rules, 2001.

(viii) Water bodies: Chambal River is the nearest water body from project site; river bank from proposed project site is at about 8.5 km.

(ix) Green belt development: For the purpose of green belt 10.12% of the total project area is earmarked. The total number of trees to be planted is about 12,000.

(x) Investment/Cost: Rs. 5269.40 Lakhs. (xi) Wildlife issues: The project site is located at 8.5 km from National (Ghariyal)

Chambal Sanctuary, and 6.5 km from the buffer area of Mukandra Tiger Reserve. The project proponent has applied for necessary wildlife clearance from the Standing Committee of NBWL. In view of the given location of the project site, the project requires appraisal under Category A by the EAC in the Ministry.

(xii) Employment potential: The impact of the project on economic aspects can clearly be observed. The proposed project activities will provide employment to persons of different skills and trades. The employment potential will ameliorate economic conditions of low income families directly and provide employment to many other families indirectly who are involved in business and service oriented activities.

(xiii) Benefits of the project: Proposed project will result in considerable growth, stimulating the industrial and commercial activities in the region. Small and medium scale industries may be further developed as a consequence.

(xiv) The ToR for the proposed development was accorded on 18th September, 2014.

(xv) Public hearing for the project was conducted on 26th June, 2015.

3.6.3 During deliberations, the EAC noted the following:- (i) The area surrounding the proposed project area is highly sensitive from the environmental point of view. The Mukandara Hills Tiger Reserve is at a distance of less than 9 km from the project site. The Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary is at a distance of 8.5 km. The project proponent has failed to submit the boundary of the protected areas. (ii) The proposal involves setting up of industrial units (on 91 identified plots) in an additional area of 228.86 ha, and as such, it would be the expansion of existing Kuber Industrial Area in an area of 536.75 ha. Different proposed industrial units/activities would include steel re-rolling units viz. non-toxic metallurgical processing industry of capacity > 5000 tonnes per annum. As such, the proposal is covered under category B. (iii) The base line air quality values monitored during May, 2016 being on much lower side, the Committee was not convinced about the reliability of the ambient air quality, where PM10 levels are almost half of the NAAQ standards. Such values in a State like Rajasthan (supposed to be higher background PM10 levels) in the month of May need to be crosschecked by a third party for its authenticity. (iv) The Committee is of the view for the proposed industries could be high noise and dust emitting industries to confine these activities only to day time operation. The sensitive wildlife in the close vicinity of the area could be endangered. The Committee is of the considered view for the Ministry may like to get the background PM 10 study done through a third party if the project proponent wishes to pursue the request for EC any further. The Committee was informed that the project proponent has moved the National Wildlife Board for obtaining necessary clearances.

3.6.4 The proposal was, therefore, deferred.

3.7 Development of Industrial estate of HSIIDC at Sector 30, 30-A, 31 & 32 at Manakpur (Jagadhari), Haryana by M/s HSIIDC Ltd - Further consideration for Environmental Clearance - [F.No.21-1045/2007-IA-III]

3.7.1 The proposal was earlier considered by the EAC in its meeting held on 24-26 June, 2015 wherein the Committee noted the information presented by the PP and observed that there is no demarcation of green belt area and the parking space is inadequate. After detailed deliberation the Committee sought the following additional information

Compliance to EAC Observations

(i) The area surrounding the proposed project area is highly sensitive from the environmental point of view. The Mukandara Hills Tiger Reserve is at a distance of less than 9 km from the project site. The Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary is at a distance of 8.5 km. The project proponent has failed to submit the boundary of the protected areas.

Reply:

The boundaries of the protected areas duly demarcating the same based on wildlife NOC

application to NBWL/SBWL were submitted. The same is enclosed again for perusal. The

map is presented in Figure -1.

Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary with 1000m on either side of the banks of the

Chambal River from Jawahar Sagar Dam to Kota Barrage among others was

notified vide G.S.R.90 dated July, 20th 1983 under WLP Act 1972.

The boundary of the project site is 8.9698 km from the core boundary of the

Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary and 6.5166 km from buffer boundary of Mukundara

Hills Tiger Reserve.

Thus the boundary of the project site is outside the buffer zone of Mukundara Hills

Tiger Reserve.

Since, the boundary of said project falls within 10km from the boundaries of Mukundra Hills

Tiger Reserve and Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary, RIICO had applied for Wildlife Clearance

for "Expansion of Industrial Area Kuber located at Ranpur Village, Tehsil Ladpura of Kota

District" from NBWL/SBWL during October 2012 itself. The Forest Department (Wild Life) examined the application at different stages and finally the project is being recommended by State Board for Wild Life. The present status of the NBWL clearance

is as below.

(ii) The proposal involves setting up of industrial units (on 91 identified plots) in an additional area of 228.86 ac, and as such, it would be the expansion of existing Kuber Industrial Area in an area of 536.75 ac. Different proposed industrial units/activities would include steel re-rolling units viz. non-toxic metallurgical processing industry of capacity > 5000 tonnes per annum. As such, the proposal is covered under category B.

Reply:

The type of industries are mainly sand stone cutting, polishing, processing units,

motor vehicle work shop, re-rolling mills and IIIT (IIIT in 35 ac).

(iii) The base line air quality values monitored during May, 2016 being on much lower side, the Committee was not convinced about the reliability of the ambient air quality, where PM10 levels are almost half of the NAAQ standards. Such values in a State like Rajasthan (supposed to be higher background PM10 levels) in the month of May need to be crosschecked by a third party for its authenticity.

Reply:

In accordance with the observations of EAC in its 158th meeting held on 28th April 2016, the

samples for PM10 were collected during May 2016 and the results were presented in 160th

NAAQ Standards 100

In the light of the observations of EAC in its 160th meeting, an attempt has been made to

verify the same for the Month of May 2016 from the secondary data available online from

NAMP executed under CPCB. Since, non availability of NAMP data for the month of May

2016, the current available May 2017 data has been considered for comparison. The

current location is one of the 683 operating stations covering Three Hundred (300)

cities/towns in twenty nine (29) states and six (6) Union Territories of the country Under

National Air Quality Monitoring Programme executed under CPCB.

The station RTU (Rajasthan Technical University) is taken for comparison, monitored

during May 2016 for the proposed project & May 2017(NAMP). The said station falls within

ESZ of National Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary, Kota and the results are as submitted in

It is evident from the NAMP data of May 2017, there is a large variation between minimum

and maximum values of PM10 ranging from 65µg/m3 to 210µg/m3.

Now referring to the observation of 160th EAC meeting, RSPCB has been appointed as a

third party monitoring agency by the proponent to carryout PM10 monitoring at the close

vicinity of the boundary of the sensitive wildlife areas.

Three sampling stations were chosen based on their sensitivity, location and in consultation

with RSPCB. The monitoring has been carried out for a month with 24 hourly samples

collected once in a week for 4 weeks at each location.

1. Project site : coordinates – 25.0650 N, 75.850 E

2. Rajasthan Technological University – 25.1432 N, 75.8068 E – chosen due to its

proximity to National Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary, 8.5km NNW

3. Modi Institute of Technology – 25.1169 N, 75.7908 E – chosen due to its proximity to

Mukundara Hills Tiger Reserve Boundary.7.3 km WNW

(iv) The Committee is of the view for the proposed industries could be high noise and dust emitting industries to confine these activities only to day time operation. The sensitive wildlife in the close vicinity of the area could be endangered. The Committee is of the considered view for the Ministry may like to get the background PM 10 study done through a third party if the project proponent wishes to pursue the request for EC any further. The Committee was informed that the project proponent has moved the National Wildlife Board for obtaining necessary clearances.

Reply:

As submitted in preceding paragraphs, RSPCB has been appointed as a third party

monitoring by the proponent to carryout PM10 monitoring in the close vicinity of the

boundary of the sensitive wildlife areas and the monitoring results were submitted in

reply (iii) above. Based on the RSPCB data, it is to infer that, the PM10 values in and

around Kota is varying from minimum 74µg/m3 to maximum 293µg/m3 based on

various background scenarios/conditions. Further, since the air pollution control

equipment will be installed by the proposed industry and hence the pollution levels of

PM10 may be much lesser and hence may not have impact on Mukundra Hills Tiger

Reserve/Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary.

The high noise generating operations of these units will be restricted to day time

only.

Since, the said project falls within 10km of Mukundra Hills Tiger reserve and

Chambal Gharriyal Sanctuary, the application for NOC from NBWL (was submitted

during 20-09-2016.

The proposal submitted online is currently pending with SBWL as submitted in Reply

(i) above.
