3 Compliance with CGPL Environmental & Social Requirements

This section describes current compliance of the project with IFC/ADB’s environmental &

social policies and guidelines, Environmental & Social Management Plans and presents the

key environmental & social performance indicators. The current project activities have been

assessed with respect to observations and comments offered in the last audit.

3.1 Environmental Aspects

As discussed in the earlier audit reports regarding control of fugitive emissions from coal

stockpiles and conveyors, CGPL has completed with the wind barrier erection near the

stockpile and green belt development (100m wide) work has been initiated along the

boundary of the barrier. The details of green belt development for the period July-Sep’12 is

provided in Annexure 2. Further as recommended earlier CGPL as part of its monthly

monitoring program continues with the ambient air quality monitoring in Vandh and

surrounding villages to record any possible deviation with respect to the baseline

environment.

In view of the earlier recommendation on strengthening the Legal register as part of the IMS

being formulated, CGPL has updated the IMS legal register through incorporation of the IFC

Thermal Power EHS Guidelines & IFC Performance Standards. Reportedly compliance to

conditions outlined in the Environmental Clearance, CRZ clearance and Consolidated

Consent & Authorization (CC&A) is being maintained separately and updated on a periodic

basis as part of compliance reporting to relevant regulatory authorities. However it is

recommended that CGPL commitments as outlined in the IFC Environmental & Social

Performance Review summary for managing project EHS issues/concerns are also included

in the IMS legal register.

As discussed earlier in the Apr-Jun’12 audit report, CGPL in order to address the

uncertainties associated with coal supply due to increase in imported coal price, has put into

use Ecocoal (shipped from Indonesia) on a trial basis at 70% capacity for operation of

Unit#1. In addition CGPL is reportedly using blend of Columbian and Sathui coal for present

operation of Unit#1, Unit#2 and Unit#3 in order to select the correct blend of coal to ensure

optimal generation of power keeping into view necessary environmental considerations and

cost benefit analysis. As per the EC requirement, imported coal consumption for the project

Quarterly Environmental & Social Performance Report – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

December 2012 4 SENES

shall not exceed 12 million tonnes per annum (MTPA) and ash and sulphur content in the

coal shall not exceed 10% and 1 % respectively. Review of the proximate coal analysis of the

reveals that both the coal types is characterized by high gross calorific (generally varying in

the range of 6268-7280 Kcal/kg) and low moisture content (varying from 9.78%-12.93%).

The physico-chemical characteristics of Columbian and Satui coal are presented in Annexure

3. However the ash and sulphur content in Satui coal was found to be in exceedance to the

limit set out in the EC with values of 10.93%-12.12% and 0.92%-1.02% respectively. In view

of the above it is recommended that necessary efforts are made by CGPL to assess the

potential implications of the change in fuel quality on the project EHS performance and share

the findings with lenders and related stakeholders. Reportedly CGPL plans to undertake this

assessment by engaging a third party with Terms of Reference (ToR) for the same being

under finalization.

Used oil generated is being temporarily stored onsite at the hazardous waste storage yard and

managed through authorized hazardous waste recyclers; whereas the chemical sludge

(generated from waste water treatment) is being currently disposed in the ash pond area. With

the hazardous waste authorization requiring such sludge to be disposed at the TSDF of M/s

SEPPL it is recommended that CGPL carries out analysis of the sludge to establish its

hazardous characteristics, if any prior to availing the aforesaid option for disposal. Reportedly

CGPL is in the advance stage of engaging a monitoring agency for undertaking analysis of

the chemical sludge for hazardous nature.

With respect to the CTO condition and fly ash notification referring to 100% utilization of fly

ash from 4th

year onwards CGPL plans to ensure compliance with the same following

commissioning and operation of all 5 units. Presently review of fly ash utilization records for

the period July-Sep’12 reveals that nearly 5% utilization has been achieved through Binani

and Ambuja cement industries. Reportedly necessary efforts are being made by CGPL to

facilitate 100% fly ash utilization:

A company has been set up by Tata Power in the name of Chemical Terminal

Trombay Ltd. (CTTL) to support CGPL efforts towards fly ash utilization.

CGPL has signed an agreement with Sanghi Cement for collection of fly ash by the

later from April 2013 onwards. Further discussion is in progress with the said

company regarding setting up a stand-alone grinding unit which if implemented can

address the challenge of 100% fly ash utilization.

There also exists possibility of utilizing the fly ash in road construction works in the

region subjected to fulfillment of IRC specifications.

Potential for importing fly ash is being evaluated by CGPL given the proximity to

Mundra Port and its projected demand in the Middle East countries.

However it is recommended that CGPL draws up a plan in collaboration with CTTL ensuring

100% utilization of fly ash from 4th

year following operation of all 5 units.

Review of the online and manual records for the period July-Sep’12 reveals a maximum

temperature difference of 4.70ºC of the receiving water body which is in compliance to

Quarterly Environmental & Social Performance Report – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

December 2012 5 SENES

temperature difference standard of 7ºC at the cooling water discharge point specified by the

MoEF EC Amendment dated 5th

April’07. The statistical results and interpretation of the

cooling water temperature records (July-Sep’12) with respect to Unit#1 & Unit#2 operation

have been presented in Table 1 below.

As earlier discussed amendment in the CTO condition issued for Unit#1 is still pending given

the delay in the Technical Committee meeting of GPCB earlier scheduled for Sep’12. In

view of the same issue of consent for the remaining units has also been delayed. Reportedly

CTO application has been filed for Unit#4 and Unit#5 in August’12.

Statistical interpretation of the flue gas emission records (for criteria pollutants viz. PM, SO2

and NOx) for the period Jul-Sep’12 (Refer Table 2) reveals that the 98th

percentile values for

both PM and SO2 is higher compared to the standards specified for such pollutants in the

World Bank Group Guidelines for Thermal Power Plants. Reportedly this has been attributed

to the use of LDO for initial start-up operations.

In view of the recommendations made during the earlier audit regarding documentation of

stakeholder EHSS observations/concerns and actions taken for addressing potential risks,

CGPL has developed and implemented an “Environmental Dashboard” program. The

program is aimed to document and report on a weekly basis i) any exception to EC, CTO and

applicable regulatory conditions ii) legal notices received from regulatory authorities iii)

complaints received from neighboring communities iv) any oil, coal, hazardous waste

spillage/leakage incidents and v) visit made by statutory authorities including their remarks.

In view of the coastal community concerns and suggestions made earlier, CGPL continues

with ambient air quality monitoring at Tragadi village. The monitored values of pollutants

reveal compliance to NAAQS except for PM10. Also as earlier recommended, monitoring of

heavy metals viz. arsenic and mercury in ground water is to be initiated from Oct’12 onwards.

3.2 Social Management

Social issues have been assessed with respect to observations and comments offered in the

last audit and subsequent developments in the course of ongoing project activities. Some of

the actions recommended in the earlier audits are pending or have been delayed. Since these

have a direct bearing on the PAPs (especially those related to employment), these need to be

taken up on a priority basis as there has been a considerable time delay in addressing

concerns related to employment.

Restoration of Income for Loss of Agricultural Land

1. Household Data for 70 PAFs has been collated. Details for remaining families (total

80 families) to be complied on a priority basis.

2. The household survey list is required to be updated and shared with the HR and

Procurement Dept detailing each member within the PAF to enable the respective

depts. to plan and prepare a framework for training and hiring of PAP/PAF.

3. Local Procurement and Employment Policy is yet to be finalized by CGPL. This is

under process according to CGPL. There seems to be delay in formulating and

implementing the policy although one of the units is under operation. Further delay

will increase the social risks as the issue of employment of PAF/PAP has been raised

by various groups and individuals from the affected villages in different foras.

4. CGPL had proposed to collaborate with an organization which will identify training

and employment opportunities for affected people and provide training for improving

employability. Under Shiksha Sarathi program and through the support of

PRATHAM on 6th Dec,12 a Learn and Earn Mela was organized where 48 youths

participated from 25 villages of Mundra and Mandvi blocks. Pratham aims to improve

employability and bring together youth and agencies (Government, private and

voluntary) offering employment.

5. The supplementary list (for non land owning households) has been prepared for

families indirectly affected. For example payment of Livelihood grant to fishermen

from Tragadi village, distribution of fishing nets to Villagers in Modhva and

distribution of fodder for livestock owners. This will be updated as per the benefits

and programmes extended to non land owning families living in the affected villages.

6. As mentioned in the earlier reports the entitlement matrix needs to be prepared for

employment of PAPs. For the preparation of the entitlement matrix the following to

be decided:

a. Policy for employment under rehabilitation for affected/land sellers families should be

clarified and

b. Definitions for key concepts such as ‘Family’, ‘separate family’ (adult married sons,

unmarried daughters - age to be defined, handicapped/disable family member,

deserted, abandoned and divorced women), ‘PAP’, category of land loser/seller,

eligibility for employment, etc should be formulated.

c. Concerns related to priority, alternatives in case the affected family or person as not

ordinarily residing in the village, death of nominee, absence of legal heirs for affected

families need to be worked out in principle and practice.

Quarterly Environmental & Social Performance Report – CGPL Power Plant, Mundra

December 2012 8 SENES

The policy is under finalization by CGPL.

Recommended Actions

1. Details for remaining families of PAPs (total 80 families) needs to be complied on a

priority basis.

2. A supplementary survey Skill mapping to be carried to ensure that all family and

household details as per PAP list are available with CGPL. Skill mapping of the Land

losers and household members to enable the match of the skill availability to CGPL’s

requirement in the operation stage and for outsourced work.

3. Finalization and implementation of the Local Hiring and Procurement Policy.

4. Preparation of a Livelihood Plan for land losers and non land based affected families.

The Livelihood Plan should incorporate all economic activities for all communities

and groups and incorporates interventions for asset and livelihood affected families/

households.

Provision of Fodder Distribution

Fodder distribution through Gaushalas has reached the maximum for 1500 livestock. The

commitment given for fodder distribution was for a maximum number of 1500 livestock from

Vandh Tunda village. The villagers have been informed of the same. Fodder distribution was

also initiated in other villages as a drought mitigation measure.

The issues related to more equitable distribution of fodder in terms of number of cattle per

owner has been discussed with the Vandh Tunda villagers and the Gaushala Trust members

who do not have any concerns regarding the inequitable distribution of fodder. Camel

Vaccination camp was not held this year as the herders had not returned to the villages

because of drought. Under the dairy programme 125 cattle owners are covered from four

villages namely Tragadi, Vandh Tunda and Nana Bhadiya.

Recommended Actions:

1. Community Development Plan as per the requirement of the IFC is yet to be framed.

CGPL has framed ABP for CSR activities. 5 thematic areas for interventions by the

Community Relations Dept has been finalized which will be the core areas for

intervention under CSR. On the basis of these areas CDP to be framed with ABP and

status of activities as annexure to be updated as required.

Women’s Needs and Participation

A tie up with an Ahmadabad based agency has been initiated for embroidery work on a per

piece basis. The women’s group at present has about 38 members which are interested in

doing the work. The first order is currently under completion by the women.

Recommended Actions:

While income Generation activities are continuing for women, the earning has yet to increase

to Rs. 100 a day. Current activity to be assessed to check quality as well as average earnings

per month for the members.

Other issues

Issues raised by Sarpanch of Tragadi village related to outfall channel have been addressed to

his satisfaction. Temporary shelters made on the beach by the families involved in fishing

were observed during the visit likely to have been affected by dredging will be addressed

after elections.

A demonstration Project for cage fishing has been proposed to be implemented by CGPL on

a trial basis in the outfall channel.

Recommended Actions

1. Details of cage fishing initiated to be shared with SENES.

2. Livelihood options to be worked with the support of the Fisheries dept. and the

villagers about a demonstration project for shrimp farming as well as crab culture in the

backwater channel area.

Review of Implementation of Mechanisms for Community Development

IFC requires that under the Performance Standard 1 (Social and Environmental Assessment

and Management Systems) Disclosure, Consultation and Grievance mechanism must be

undertaken for community engagement. Grievance Redressal is a key aspect of both

Stakeholder engagement and Disclosure of information and receives and facilitates resolution

of Affected Communities’ concerns and grievances is dispersed. Currently a uniform single

GRM is not in place.

In this audit it has been informed that a computerized system is proposed to be put in place in

by which grievances will be uploaded and a uniform format generated. A mechanism has

been developed to address grievances within 7 days and if not addressed, to upscale the

grievance to a higher level for redressal.

A uniform format has been developed to record and report all meetings held with

various stakeholders including Government officials by the CR Dept as part of the

Stakeholder engagement.

A review of the CIC needs to be carried out internally and with stakeholders as the

functioning is not as effective as envisaged. Steps to improve overall effectiveness to

be worked out with CR team and stakeholders.

Recommended Actions

1. Village meetings to be held and minutes of meeting to be maintained.

2. Level of grievances and decision taken to be defined for disclosure as well as

community engagement. Under the GRM a consolidated report with status of

grievances to be prepared on a monthly and quarterly basis. Grievances addressed

should be closed.

Documentation and Reporting

CGPL has hired 4th Wheel an Ahmadabad based Agency for documentation of case studies

for undertaking reporting and documentation of CSR activities. A compendium ‘Samvad’

photo documentation of stakeholder engagement has been published and circulated. Report of

TPCDT has also been published. The quantum of reporting and documentation has increased

and requires the services of specialized agency/staff to ensure comprehensive documentation

of all activities and impact on people.

Recommended Actions

1. Plans and Policies formulated earlier as per the funding agencies requirement be

updated and revised as per current requirements. The gap between earlier formulated

plans and current implementation requirement to be addressed.

2. Steps taken by CGPL to incorporate TISS suggestions and recommendations in

ongoing activities and stakeholder engagement.

3. Newsletter to be published on a quarterly basis to show case CSR activities.

4 Health & Safety

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 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. Specific health and safety plans and onsite emergency plan have been

developed & augmented on regular basis by CGPL and communicated to contractors. The

plans outline the policies and strategies, the organization, resources and documentation

required, the HS risk management principles, and reporting requirements.

4.1 Health & Safety Management

With the augmentation in safety staffing by CGPL, proper implementation of specific plan

and procedures, communication between the contractor workers, safety training and

awareness, incident reporting, visual aids etc the onsite Health & Safety Management of

CGPL continues to demonstrate considerable improvement.

With both units under operations and synchronization of remaining units under process

reportedly 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 relevant personnel.

CGPL has launched a program termed DELTA initiative by which innovative safety

measures/initiatives are documented and shared to enhance health and safety awareness

thereby improving project EHS performance. Key measures covered as part of this program

included – undertaking safety intervention audit, implementation of safety time out program

& PSUSR checklist, driving behavioral change among contract workers through AAKAR

initiative etc.

As discussed during the last quarter audit CGPL has drafted the IMS Legal Register

incorporating the specific provision of applicable health and safety regulations for the

purpose of OHSAS, EMS and QMS certification. However as discussed in the section 3.1,

permit/consent conditions and specific provisions of IFC EHS Guidelines (Thermal Power

Plants) & Performance Standards (PS) referring to occupational health and safety aspects

during operations stage need to feature in the IMS legal register to ensure legal compliance.

As recommended in the earlier audit CGPL need to assess the occupational risks related to

EMF exposure from power transmission lines as per the provision of IFC EHS Guidelines for

Thermal Power Plant and develop & implement an EMF safety program which is still

pending. Regarding installation and operation of automated systems viz. carbon monoxide or

temperature sensors in coal bunkers to prevent fire hazard the procurement of the same is

under progress; further CGPL is also evaluating the use of wetting agents as a potential

preventive measure to control fire hazard in bunkers.
